Chapter 207:
Nonō wasn't just a master of intelligence; she was also an expert in medical ninjutsu. Her intelligence and skills ranked among the best in the shinobi world.
She was, in many ways, a precursor to Kabuto.
Orochimaru had long considered recruiting Nonō's talents to assist him. However, the timing, her age, and her experiences hadn't aligned until now. But at this moment, everything seemed to have fallen into place.
The only issue that remained was ensuring Nonō's loyalty. And while the method Orochimaru had in mind was unconventional, he believed it was the safest path forward.
"Orochimaru …"
The voice from the bedroom broke his train of thought.
"Coming," Orochimaru muttered, shaking off his musings. He left his spot and headed back into the bedroom, ready to let the matter rest for the night.
After lying down, Tsunade immediately snuggled up to him, wrapping both her arms and legs around him like an octopus.
"This woman is getting far too comfortable," Orochimaru thought to himself, his expression unreadable.
