Naruto: Mission Tsunade – Time for Uncle to Step Up!

" Nagato, bring that culture medium here. "

In the laboratory of the hospital, Tsunade was conducting an experiment.

The finger used in the experiment with Hashirama's cells had become relatively stable after a long period of observation.

She had also discussed with Fugaku last time that some heinous criminals would be sent as test subjects in the near future.

As a medical ninja, she didn't inherently oppose human experiments, especially since these death - row inmates couldn't be considered innocent people.

Orochimaru would definitely not object to this. He would only say, " Bring more. "

However, out of humanitarian considerations, it was better to keep this matter secret.

" Okay. "

Nagato obediently went to the side to get the culture medium.

" Teacher's wife, do the cells of the Seven - Tailed Beast look like this? "

After opening the culture medium and handing it to Tsunade, he curiously looked at the thin, cicada - wing - like piece in the petri dish.

" These are cells taken from Chōmei's wings, so they look like this after cultivation. "

Tsunade explained while dropping the culture medium into the petri dish.

" How long will it take to cultivate these to a usable state? "

Nagato was full of curiosity about these things, just as he wanted to figure out what was wrong with his own eyes.

" It'll probably take a very long time. "

Tsunade pondered for a while. She couldn't be sure now.

Cultivating tailed beast cells wasn't a very difficult technique, but accelerating their growth was a bit challenging.

After all, in the original plot, it took about twenty years for Orochimaru to cultivate the Eight - Tailed Beast's cells into huge horns after obtaining them.

" Teacher's wife... "

Nagato was about to ask something else when he was interrupted by the sudden sound of the door being pushed open.

" Nagato is here today too. "

A gloomy voice sounded. The person who came was Orochimaru.

" Orochimaru. "

Nagato greeted him softly. He was quite afraid of Orochimaru.

" Good boy. "

Orochimaru was in a good mood. With a smile on his lips, he stroked Nagato's head.

A wisp of his bangs was pushed aside, revealing an eye with a circle.

" So fascinating. "

Orochimaru unconsciously licked his lips, which scared Nagato to take a step back.

" Orochimaru. "

" Why are you scaring him? "

Tsunade shouted and glared at Orochimaru angrily.

" Haha, I'm just joking. "

Orochimaru averted his gaze. He didn't know much about these eyes, only having heard Kawaki mention them occasionally.

It was a power that sounded enchanting just by listening.

" Don't be afraid. He's just being a smart - aleck. "

Tsunade kindly comforted Nagato, seeing how scared the child was.

" I've brought you something good. "

Orochimaru smiled at Nagato. He really was just curious.

If it were the Orochimaru in the original plot, he would definitely try every means to get these eyes.

" What is it? "

Tsunade watched as Orochimaru took out a small transparent bag filled with some blue powder.

" From the Two - Tailed Beast. "

Orochimaru handed the small bag to Tsunade. He had managed to collect it from the Two - Tailed Jinchūriki.

He couldn't bring back the whole tailed beast, but bringing back some cells was achievable.

" Good stuff. "

Tsunade held up the bag. It was so dazzling and charming under the light. 

"What are you standing there for? Go and get a petri dish."

Seeing that Nagato was still a bit dazed, Orochimaru called out to him.

"Oh, oh. I'll go right away."

Nagato came to his senses and started running errands again.

"This child is just too introverted."

Tsunade shook her head looking at Nagato. In front of outsiders, Nagato seemed even more restrained.

"It's not necessarily a bad thing. He has love in his heart."

Orochimaru seemed to have a pair of eyes that could see through people's hearts. Nagato was really a kind person.

"Can I put it here?"

While the two were talking, Nagato trotted back, afraid of delaying things.

"Okay, just put it here."

Tsunade took the petri dish and poured the blue powder from the bag into it.

Nagato simply lifted his bangs and watched his teacher's wife's operation carefully.

"What can you understand? A kid who can't even walk steadily wants to fly high."

Orochimaru found it funny.

"Here, take this and watch from the side."

He picked up a book about cell knowledge from the side and handed it to Nagato.

"Okay, thank you, Orochimaru."

Nagato scratched his head awkwardly and also realized his own ignorance.

He took the book and pushed the door out, then went to the place where Kawaki often slept and sat down.

"What a well - behaved child."

Orochimaru still looked at him reluctantly.

"Come on, let's get to work."

Tsunade handed Orochimaru a pair of experiment gloves, and the two began to extract the Two - Tailed Beast cells in cooperation.

"When will the experimental subjects promised by the Uchiha be sent?"

"I can't wait."

While assisting Tsunade, Orochimaru started talking about the main topic.

"It should be in the next few days. Let's go check the inner laboratory later."

Tsunade was already prepared and just waiting for the subjects to be sent.

Fortunately, the basement was dug big enough at that time, otherwise they really wouldn't have enough space to work.

"I hope he can send more."

Orochimaru didn't expect to succeed in one try, so the more experimental subjects, the better.

"Don't have any bad ideas."

Tsunade knew Orochimaru's character too well. If there weren't enough experimental subjects and the experiment was hindered.

He might just give her a big "surprise".

"No, no."

Orochimaru knew his position in Tsunade's heart, didn't refute, and even laughed happily.

It's really great to have friends who understand me!

"As long as that's the case. We're not in a hurry."

Only then did Tsunade feel relieved. Just because she agreed to the human experiments didn't mean she had no bottom line.

"You're not in a hurry, but Kawaki is."

Orochimaru joked, and it wasn't just out of thin air.

Kawaki did mention it many times when chatting with him.

"Let him be in a hurry. I don't want him to become a monster."

Tsunade remained unmoved and her hands still moved steadily.

...

The two scientific research masters cooperated very well. Before long, they extracted the Two - Tailed Beast cells from a pile of blue powder.

"Done."

Tsunade put the extracted Two - Tailed Beast cells into a brand - new petri dish.

"This process is really too slow."

"We still need to conduct in - depth research on it."

Orochimaru is still very serious when doing experiments.

Now that there's Tsunade and money, it's not impossible to speed up the experiment process.

"Well, let's consider it a new research topic"

Tsunade nodded in agreement and added some unknown liquid to the petri dish.

Then she solemnly put it away.

"Why isn't Kawaki here today?"

After finishing their work, the two started chatting. Nagato was reading a book outside very intently.

"I asked him to teach his disciples at home to prevent him from causing trouble."

Tsunade didn't spare Kawaki any face in front of Orochimaru.

"Oh~ I saw Konan carrying Yahiko home on my way here."

"I didn't see Kawaki anywhere."

Unluckily, Orochimaru greeted Konan at that time.

Yahiko almost wished he could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

"Who knows what new tricks he's up to."

"Forget about him. As long as he doesn't bother us."

Thinking of the scene of Konan carrying Yahiko, Tsunade almost burst out laughing.

She wondered what those two children had done to offend Kawaki.
