The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima

Hidden Laboratory.

Orochimaru kept a close watch on Tsunade's vitals and he was beginning to see slight improvement. 'Her fever has gone down and vitals are slowly climbing. Her body is starting to adapt. It won't be long now. A day. Maybe two. By then her genes would evolve into new ones. I don't need to wait for it to be completed. I can extract what I need and then perfect it at my lab.'

The Snake Sannin's sinister gaze then turned to the sleeping Shizune. The young medic was mentally and physically tired after using almost all her chakra to keep her teacher alive. Orochimaru almost sighed as he thought about what he would do with her.

'It's a shame to kill someone with such talent in medical ninjutsu. But if I let you live then your only goal in life would become revenge. I won't make the mistake of letting a potential threat live unlike my foolish sensei.'

The pale skinned man turned his attention back to the unconscious Senju. 'In a way, killing her is a kindness. I'll be sparing her of all those years of misery.'

Orochimaru decided to take a little break himself and quietly exited the room. He looked at the nearby clock on the wall and frowned. 'There is still no report from Guren. So either she hasn't captured Daichi yet or she failed.'

Orochimaru sat in his chair and thought about the mission he assigned the woman. 'She's strong. Even Kakashi would have a hard time against her alone. Let alone the whole team with her… So she must not have gotten her hands on Daichi yet. Is sensei concerned for his safety because of what happened with Tsunade? Is the boy's movements restricted?'

As he was pondering on the movement of the Leaf village, Sakon appeared and kneeled.

"Has there been any developments?" Orochimaru asked his subordinate.
