Chapter 327: The Shinobi Examination

A few months later.

Konoha.

Deep inside the Hokage building.

By Yeruashi's order, a secret laboratory was built here specifically for Orochimaru.

Orochimaru now holds the position of captain of Konoha's scientific department.

In one of the rooms of the laboratory.

Yeruashi lowered his hand and nodded, "It's done."

Kimimaro stood in front of him with an extremely pale face, but at this moment, his skin began to quickly regain its normal color and his lips were no longer dry.

Seeing that Kimimaro's body was once again filled with life force, Orochimaru nodded to Yeruashi, "Thank you very much, Yeruashi."

"No problem."

Yeruashi smiled, "The enhanced Kekkei Genkai Shikotsumyaku is extremely rare and Kimimaro is probably the last carrier in the world. I can't allow such a Kekkei Genkai to disappear from the world, besides, Kimimaro is a great shinobi."

In recent years, Kimimaro's illness has become increasingly serious. In search of a treatment method, Orochimaru turned to Tsunade, but even she found it difficult to cope with the illness, which arose due to the excessive strength of the Kekkei Genkai.

Although she managed to find a method of treatment, but it required a complete purification of the tenketsu in Kimimaro's body, after which he would lose the ability to use chakra and cease to be a shinobi.

Such a treatment makes no sense.

Kimimaro would rather die than lose his power completely.

In the end, unable to find a treatment method, Orochimaru decided to turn to Yeruashi.

For the current Yeruashi, of course, it was not difficult to cure this disease.

Kimimaro is now a member of Konoha's science department, and Yeruashi was not at all opposed to curing such a talented shinobi.

"Thanks to the Hokage-sama."

Kimimaro bowed to Yeruashi.

Yeruashi, a former student of Orochimaru and the legendary shinobi who united the world, was one of the few people Kimimaro had deep respect for.

Yeruashi looked at Kimimaro with a smile, "Don't let your Kekkei Genkai disappear from this world."

"I won't allow this, you can be sure, Hokage-sama!"

Kimimaro's eyes were filled with genuine admiration.

After the illness completely subsided, Kimimaro believed that whatever goal he would set for himself, he would definitely achieve it!

Yeruashi shook his head, "That's not what I mean... you're fifteen years old, isn't it time to find a girlfriend?"

"Uh..."

Kimimaro froze in shock.

Yeruashi laughed and walked out.

At that moment, he couldn't help but remember that Orochimaru was now a woman, but he didn't say anything, because he didn't want this child to be poisoned by Orochimaru.

Yeruashi, walking down the long, gloomy corridor, said slowly, "How is the research on the remains of Urashiki Ootsutsuki progressing?"

"The first experiments were successful."

Orochimaru, who was following Yeruashi, said with undisguised admiration, "Although the First Hokage's cells are an order of magnitude more powerful, but Urashiki Ootsutsuki's cells are much more stable and have a much lower probability of going out of control, these cells are able to moderately but steadily increase the body's strength."

Yeruashi nodded, "No wonder, because the Yang attribute in the First Hokage's cells is too much, so it is extremely difficult to stabilize it without the Uchiha Clan's bloodline, and the Ootsutsuki Clan's cells are more balanced."

After saying that, Yeruashi looked at Orochimaru, "Are you satisfied with the amount of test subjects? If not, I can ask Fire Country to send another batch".

Currently, Fire Country, life imprisonment and death penalty are not capital punishment, because now there is another one on top of them, send them to Orochimaru for experiments.

Yeruashi did not want to see Orochimaru perform reckless experiments, as happened in the original.

Although if Orochimaru resorts to Konoha, there will definitely be shinobi who are ready to become test subjects for the sake of the force, but Yeruashi did not consider it necessary, because these are Konoha shinobi, to allow them to participate on their own initiative, Orochimaru must first work out a certain basis and minimize the risks.

Criminals who receive a sentence that is a level above even the immediate death penalty tend to be serial killers and violent, so Yeruashi felt that instead of simply dying, they could make a certain contribution.

Orochimaru smiled demonically, "Let them keep sending, test subjects are never enough, ke-ke-ke."

Orochimaru understood Yeruashi's character perfectly.

He is ruthless to his enemies, but relatively kind to his people. For example, in the last year, the death rate in the Chuunin exams had been close to zero.

Orochimaru is not going to evaluate and express a personal opinion on Yeruashi's methods.

No matter whether it is the village of mist a near-zero mortality, Orochimaru has completely lost interest in leading the village.

He now seeks to explore the mysteries of the human body as deeply as possible.

"Good."

Yeruashi nodded, "Then I'll go, contact me when the new results are ready."

"Good."

...

After leaving Orochimaru's lab, Yeruashi returned to the Hokage's office.

Kakashi sat at his desk, going through a stack of documents.

About half a month ago, he stopped teaching Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura.

With the exception of Sakura, quite ordinary, Naruto and Sasuke are already near the top of the Chuunin level, and even if they meet an ordinary Jounin, the two will have a decent chance of winning.

After leaving Kakashi's leadership, the trio began to freely accept and complete missions and more recently, they applied to participate in the Chuunin exam, while Kakashi began to gradually take over Yeruashi's duties, preparing to become the next Hokage of Konoha.

"Hinata is going to participate in the Chuunin exam?"

Kakashi, who was sorting through the applications for the Chuunin exam, looked at Yeruashi as he walked in and asked.

Yeruashi walked over to him and looked at the stack of papers, "Chuunin exam.... It wouldn't hurt to participate."

Hinata is now a member of the Shadow Guards, but she's still a Genin, and the Chuunin exam will be a great opportunity to advance.

"Then I'll introduce her name."

Kakashi nodded and entered Hinata's name into the document.

Seeing that the documents were almost completely processed and everything was done quite neatly, Yeruashi turned his gaze to Kakashi and smiled, "It seems that you've already adapted perfectly to the Hokage duties, in that case... it will be possible to transfer the position after the Chuunin exam."

Kakashi calmly replied, "You'd better take care of your body."

Yeruashi: "???"

I think Kakashi said something strange again...

Yeruashi was too lazy to pay attention to this negligent brother, so he calmly left the Hokage's office and went back to the top floor.

Kakashi shook his head as he watched Yeruashi leave and went back to processing the paperwork.

Indeed, with the effective support of Tsunade and Shikaku, the Hokage's duties have become quite light and not too energy consuming.

Although after his ascension to the position, Tsunade may stop taking care of Konoha's affairs, it will significantly increase the burden, but Kakashi did not fear this.

He was much more worried about the enemy, who even scared the Chakra Ancestor.

Kakashi didn't know when this enemy would descend on his world, or if Yeruashi would be able to deal with him.
