Chapter 360 - 358 Uzumaki Chigusa paused here

Uzumaki Chigusa paused here, looking at Orochimaru with an expression that seemed to say she was enduring Tsunade's wrath for him.

"Have you thought about how to compensate me?"

Uzumaki Chigusa sat on Orochimaru's lap. "I'm doing this for your own good. You wouldn't let me get scolded for nothing, right?"

From Orochimaru's perspective, Uzumaki Chigusa's sexy, full figure was completely exposed, her ample bosom gently swaying with her movements.

"What do you want, besides me cooperating with you for that kind of thing?"

Orochimaru slightly raised his head, looking at Uzumaki Chigusa, who was clearly up to no good.

"Why! Can't you even satisfy my curiosity?"

Uzumaki Chigusa leaned on Orochimaru, rubbing against him playfully, then looked up at him expectantly.

"Promise me?"

"If you keep this up, I might as well stop writing altogether and never write those kinds of books again."

Orochimaru patted Uzumaki Chigusa's back.

"You plan to start writing again?"

Uzumaki Chigusa was slightly stunned, her face lighting up with joy. This was good news!

"I'll consider it when I have time."

Orochimaru had figured it out. No matter how much she claimed to look at it with a critical eye, her true nature was that of a pervert who loved reading forbidden books.

"That's great!"

Splash—!

Uzumaki Chigusa cheered, hugging Orochimaru tightly. A lot of water splashed out of the bathtub due to her movements.

I regret it… Orochimaru thought, feeling utterly lifeless.

"Alright, get up. Soaking for too long is bad for your body."

Orochimaru embraced Uzumaki Chigusa's soft, boneless, full body and sat up from the bathtub.

"Orochimaru, do you often bathe them?"

Uzumaki Chigusa sat on a stool, enjoying the gentle hands that massaged her hair.

"Yes."

Orochimaru reached out to turn on the showerhead, reminding her, "Don't open your eyes."

"I'm so envious…"

Uzumaki Chigusa was truly envious of those who lived with Orochimaru.

"Even if your identity is sensitive, there's no harm in staying for a while."

Orochimaru combed Uzumaki Chigusa's smooth, vibrant red hair with her fingers, rinsing the shampoo foam from her hair.

"That would cause you trouble. I'll return to the Land of Waves tomorrow. Just come and visit me often when you have time."

Uzumaki Chigusa tilted her head back, resting the back of her head on Orochimaru's chest.

She really wanted to stay for a while, but considering the potential trouble, she preferred to return to the Land of Waves sooner.

Orochimaru touched Uzumaki Chigusa's cheek, frowning slightly.

Is it because of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki matter?

Chigusa, are you trying not to make things difficult for me?

Orochimaru knew very well why Uzumaki Chigusa didn't want to stay for a few more days, and that feeling made him very uncomfortable.

In the room, Orochimaru sat at the desk, his dark, beautiful hair draped over his shoulders, drawing the design for a rifle to be used as a standard weapon.

The White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company's transport convoy still had too few offensive options. Not everyone in the transport convoy was a Ninja; they also needed offensive means. Equipping them with a rifle that dealt decent damage would give them considerable combat power.

By carving a Transformation Formula into the rifle and adding a small Chakra Battery, even someone who couldn't refine Chakra could fire Wind Release Chakra-enhanced bullets with the rifle.

This would give ordinary people, who were otherwise defenseless, a means to kill Ninja.

In a game, it would be an enchanted rifle.

Tsunade sat cross-legged on the bed, cleaning the parts of the miniature pistol Orochimaru had given her.

"Aren't you going to sleep yet?"

Ichikishimahime's figure appeared in the room. She had changed into a white nightgown and was hugging Orochimaru's neck, looking at the blueprints on the desk, then at the miniature pistol Tsunade was fiddling with.

"Tsunade, the blueprint Orochimaru is drawing looks a bit like the toy in your hand."

"Eh?"

Tsunade got off the bed and walked over quickly.

"How is it similar?"

Tsunade looked at the stick-like object in the design drawing.

"This is called a rifle. Both it and the pistol I gave you are used to fire bullets," Orochimaru said, opening a drawer and taking out a golden-yellow bullet. "The difference is that the bullets fired by a rifle and a pistol are different in size."

"It looks very similar to the weapons used by Sky Ninja to fire Kunai."

Tsunade recalled the Sky Ninja weapons gathering dust in the warehouse.

"You could say that the Sky Ninja's weapons gave me inspiration."

Orochimaru really wanted to say that the rifle design he drew was far superior to the Sky Ninja's junk, but alas, the firearms used by the Sky Ninja appeared first.

A moment later, Orochimaru looked at the almost completed design drawing, put down his pen, and turned to see four pairs of eager eyes looking at him. His heart trembled, and his body shook slightly.

"Are you not planning to let me rest tonight?"

Orochimaru suddenly wanted to exile himself to sleep in the living room, genuinely. Sleeping in his own room felt too insecure.

"What do you think?"

Ichikishimahime patted the bed, signaling Orochimaru to come over quickly.

Orochimaru, like someone going to the gallows, stood up and walked towards the bed.

The temperature in the room gradually rose, and a soft, languid melody began to play, continuing until late into the night before subsiding.

The next day, early morning.

Winter days are short and nights are long; it was still dark.

Orochimaru slowly opened his eyes, looked down at the light yellow hair, gently pulled back the blanket, saw Tsunade sleeping on him, and carefully pulled his white snake tail from Uchiha Hikari's embrace.

"Mm…"

Uchiha Hikari's eyes opened a crack. Seeing Orochimaru awake, her small face flushed as she recalled last night.

"Shh!"

Orochimaru put a finger to his lips, signaling Uchiha Hikari to be quiet. He gently moved Tsunade from his embrace, avoiding pressing on Ichikishimahime and Hyuga Mio's hair.

"Orochimaru?"

Tsunade groggily hugged Orochimaru's arm.

"I need to get up and make you all breakfast. You can sleep a little longer."

Orochimaru leaned down and kissed Tsunade's pink lips.

"Mm…"

Tsunade responded, releasing Orochimaru's arm.

"Kiss…"

Ichikishimahime's eyes were still closed, but she reached out with pouted lips.

"Alright, alright."

Orochimaru kissed Ichikishimahime's lips, then kissed Hyuga Mio and Uchiha Hikari's lips.

After washing up, Orochimaru entered the kitchen to prepare ingredients.

The golden morning sun streamed through the window onto the floor tiles. The pot on the gas stove gurgled, and a fragrant aroma filled the kitchen.

"Chigusa, didn't you rest well last night?"

In the living room, Orochimaru looked at Uzumaki Chigusa, who didn't seem to be in good spirits.

"What do you think? You guys were at it until late last night!"

Uzumaki Chigusa glared at Orochimaru, her eyes filled with anger, dissatisfaction, and, most of all, resentment at not being included.

"Ah…"

Orochimaru's face flushed, and he quickly found an excuse to walk into the kitchen.

"The soup is almost ready, I'll go check on it!"

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Uzumaki Chigusa chased after him.
