"Orochimaru, what's wrong?"
Hyuga Mio looked at Orochimaru, who seemed troubled.
"Are you in trouble?"
Uchiha Hikari thought Orochimaru had received memories from her Shadow Clone again, indicating trouble.
"Isn't this a very powerful Ninjutsu? What aren't you satisfied with?"
Tsunade could tell that Orochimaru seemed dissatisfied with the Ninjutsu she had developed.
"Nothing, it's just that this Jutsu hasn't reached the level I wanted. Perhaps this is my limit."
Orochimaru's cheeks puffed out slightly as she spoke, a little dejectedly.
She didn't want her emotions to affect them; she cherished those who cared about and valued her.
"It's good enough to have reached this level..." Orochimaru comforted herself internally. After all, she didn't have Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's Bloodline Limit. If she did, she might have been able to create Truth-Seeking Orbs years ago, without needing over a decade of training.
"Orochimaru, the Jutsu you developed is really powerful! I used my full strength just now!"
Uchiha Hikari clenched her fists and placed them on her chest, trying hard to look like she had given her all.
"Tsunade and I have both seen your full strength."
Orochimaru placed her hand on Uchiha Hikari's head and gently patted it.
Uchiha Hikari blushed. In her eagerness to comfort Orochimaru, she forgot that the first time they met, she had attacked them with lethal intent.
"Let's go home."
A white snake tail wrapped around Uchiha Hikari's waist, and Orochimaru held Tsunade's and Hyuga Mio's hands, using the Flying Thunder God Technique to return home.
Back home, as she was going to sleep, Orochimaru remembered Tsunade's comment about her playing with mud. She stuffed a pillow and blanket into Tsunade's arms and pushed her out of the room.
"Orochimaru? You, what are you doing?"
Tsunade was bewildered as Orochimaru pushed her out.
"Tsunade, you're sleeping in the living room tonight!"
"Why?!"
Pushed out of the room, Tsunade held the pillow and blanket, looking at Orochimaru's displeased expression. She didn't understand what she had done wrong to be denied the right to sleep with her.
"You played with mud today, so you're not suitable to sleep with me!"
Orochimaru said, holding a grudge, and waved her hand, closing the door.
Bang—!
Tsunade stared at the heavily closed door, her lips slightly parted. She stood stunned for a while before coming back to her senses, then angrily said, "I just called your new Jutsu 'mud'! Is that really a reason to kick me out to sleep in the living room? Unfair! Petty!"
"Huh?"
Uchiha Hikari looked confusedly at Tsunade, who was walking dejectedly towards the living room, hugging her pillow and blanket.
"Tsunade, what's this?"
"Orochimaru played with mud today, and I'm not sleeping with her! Hikari, you shouldn't go either. Why don't you sleep in the living room with me?"
Tsunade had completely lost her dejected look, replaced by disdain for Orochimaru.
"No, I want to sleep with Orochimaru."
Uchiha Hikari shook her head.
"Little traitor..."
Tsunade mumbled softly, then walked dejectedly towards the living room.
"Welcome to Ninja World Evening News. Today's headlines include: Is the mysterious large pit in the Land of Wind's desert related to the recent conflict between Sunagakure and Konoha forces in the Land of Fire..."
In the living room, Hyuga Mio held the remote control, tuning in promptly to the Ninja World Evening News. This news program was funded by the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company and produced by a team of Ninja skilled in intelligence gathering. There was a morning news, a noon news, and an evening news.
Unless she was busy, Hyuga Mio rarely missed it, watching almost every morning, noon, and evening news program.
"Tsunade?"
Hyuga Mio looked at Tsunade, who was walking over with a pillow and blanket, full of questions.
"Orochimaru played with mud today, and I'm not sleeping with her!"
Tsunade repeated her excuse. Lying on the sofa and covering herself with a blanket, Hyuga Mio could easily tell what had happened from her sulking expression.
"Did you two argue?"
Hyuga Mio thought it unlikely; she had never seen Orochimaru truly angry. Yet, from Tsunade's behavior, it seemed something had indeed happened.
"No!"
