Chapter 211:
Time passed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had gone by.
Orochimaru was in no rush. He traveled leisurely, taking his time along the way. Even so, it only took seven days to arrive at the coordinates Nonō had provided.
Despite the ongoing chaos in the Land of Fire, where bandits and outlaws roamed freely, Orochimaru hadn't encountered a single one on his journey. Whether this was due to luck or something else, he couldn't say.
Setting aside the matter of Tsunade for the time being, Orochimaru stored his belongings in his system's storage and began exploring the area. Before long, he found the location of Nonō's orphanage.
The orphanage was situated in a remote area, with no towns or villages nearby. It was the kind of place where one might say, "There's no village ahead and no inn behind."
Surprisingly, however, the orphanage was bustling with activity. A group of workers was busy stacking bricks and laying tiles.
"Still under construction?" Orochimaru muttered, somewhat surprised. "I thought it had already been purchased and renovated."
Just then, a figure wearing a cloak and round glasses noticed Orochimaru's arrival and rushed over excitedly.
"Lord Orochimaru!"
