Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master

Jiraiya was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Tsunade to refuse so decisively.

He panicked and hurriedly assured her, "Tsunade, we don't need Konoha to send anyone. I only need Kakashi, and I promise, nothing will happen to Kakashi!"

"Huh?" Kakashi, who had been sitting quietly to the side, almost spat out his water when he heard this.

His single, exposed eye widened instantly, and he froze completely.

[Ding! Kakashi's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +400!]

Kakashi, caught in the crossfire, was completely bewildered.

Hearing that Jiraiya was going to rescue Orochimaru, who had invaded Konoha, was already outrageous enough.

Why did you have to drag him into this?!

He scratched his head, somewhat amused and exasperated, his gaze shifting between Tsunade and Jiraiya, wondering if he had misheard.

The audience fell silent for a moment.

In the dimly lit corner, Kabuto pushed up his glasses, his eyes reflecting an inscrutable glint in the lenses.

……

The dream on the screen continues.

Tsunade was clearly extremely dissatisfied with the current progress. "We agreed to see results as soon as possible, how long has it been?"

Orochimaru snapped out of his daze, trying his best to suppress the shock and complex emotions in his heart, and pulled his thoughts back to the situation at hand.

He took a deep breath, trying to make his tone sound calmer, but his voice still involuntarily sounded a bit hoarse: "Tsunade... what are you doing here?"

"Hmph, that's an interesting question."

Tsunade rolled her eyes at his words. "Why can't I be here?"

Orochimaru opened his mouth, but was momentarily speechless.

Yes, if Nawaki hadn't died, Tsunade naturally wouldn't have left Konoha.

Given Tsunade's medical skills and status, if she stayed in the village, as Konoha's strongest medical ninja, she would naturally join this Hashirama cell experiment project.

After all, the mortality rate of this human experiment is extremely high, and having another top-notch medical ninja on board would greatly increase the success rate.

In reality, Tsunade had already left the village before the experiment even started; otherwise, with her participation, the situation might have been completely different...

Thinking of this, Orochimaru suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He was momentarily distracted, but then he understood his current situation in the dream: he and Tsunade were both among the Legendary Sannin, and they were currently participating in the research at the same time, so their status in the base should be equal.

Since Tsunade intervened, given her cautious and life-loving nature, it's highly likely that she influenced the experimental plan and coerced her into setting such a conservative dosage.

No wonder... no wonder the experimental data was different from what I remembered!

Orochimaru slowly narrowed his eyes, glancing thoughtfully at Tsunade, who was standing close by.

But what did Tsunade mean by that?

Orochimaru didn't think much of it and asked bluntly, "What happened to Danzo?"

Tsunade snorted and shrugged, saying, "What else could it mean? The same old thing."

She curled her lip dismissively and explained sarcastically, "Danzo thinks you're progressing too slowly and wants his Roots to get involved. Those guys don't care about anything else; if they take over, they'll mess up the experiment sooner or later."

However, Tsunade changed the subject and gave Orochimaru a blunt look, frowning as she said, "But Orochimaru, Danzo's words this time aren't entirely unreasonable. The progress is indeed too slow; you're being too conservative!"

Tsunade walked to a table and sat down, crossing her legs. She complained, "I've been here for a whole month, and there hasn't been a single case of someone going berserk. It's like I'm not even involved! Are you planning to drag this experiment out for a hundred years by being so hesitant?"

Orochimaru's brows, which had just relaxed slightly, furrowed again.

He listened to Tsunade's scathing rebuke and felt a mix of emotions.

It wasn't Tsunade who was conservative, but him?

How can it be!

In reality, he never hesitates to pay any price in pursuit of forbidden arts and truth. When did he become such a hesitant and indecisive pushover?

Orochimaru pursed his lips, about to explain something.

However, before he could speak, Nawaki, who had been listening silently, suddenly couldn't hold back any longer.

Nawaki frowned slightly, looking at Tsunade with displeasure: "Sister, how could you say that about Master?"

“Master said long ago that life is fragile! Such a dangerous study, if we don’t select volunteers with strong tolerance first, and then inject them with large doses right away, will only cause a lot of casualties!”

Rope Tree's eyes were sincere and stubborn. When he got excited, he clenched his fists, as if he was afraid that others would misunderstand his master.

Tsunade was taken aback by her younger brother's sharp retort and looked speechless: "Hey, Nawaki, whose side are you on? I'm your older sister!"

She pointed at herself, then at Orochimaru, "You're actually siding with outsiders and criticizing your sister?"

Nawaki met Tsunade's gaze without flinching and declared confidently, "Of course I'm on Master's side! Master is a man of principle and would never take lives lightly!"

He walked up to Orochimaru, raised his head, and solemnly stated his position.

With that, Nawaki grabbed Orochimaru's arm and turned to give him a bright, cheerful smile: "Right, Master!"

The boy's eyes crinkled into crescents, his face radiating trust and admiration for his teacher.

When his disciple suddenly hugged his arm so intimately, Orochimaru stiffened and felt extremely uncomfortable.

The unexpected closeness left him momentarily at a loss.

He had never experienced such a scene before.

However, feeling the completely trusting gaze that Nawaki cast at him, Orochimaru felt a slight softening deep within his heart.

Looking at Rope Tree's expectant expression as he looked up, he remained silent for a moment, and then a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

"Hmm...of course." Orochimaru reached out and slowly patted Nawaki's head, chuckling in a hoarse voice, "How could I possibly joke around with everyone's lives?"

He spoke with an unusually gentle and indulgent tone, without even realizing it himself.

"Humph!"

Tsunade gave a soft snort and turned her head away, no longer looking at them.

Her younger brother's most admired idol wasn't his older sister, but rather the sinister, smelly snake beside him!

Seeing her sister's discomfiture, Rope Tree scratched her cheek and stuck out her tongue, looking both embarrassed and amused.

Orochimaru smiled as he released Nawaki, but a serious look flashed deep within his snake-like eyes—

He simply couldn't bring himself to laugh.

Does this sound like a word?

It's utterly absurd that I, in my dream, would be so careful with the dosage out of fear of injury or death!

Is this still Orochimaru?

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed he could do such a thing.

While caution can reduce sacrifices, excessive caution means inefficiency.

Such a conservative experiment is doomed to fail no matter what!

Interstitial cells are domineering and very prone to going berserk.

However, no matter what it is, the dosage is crucial for it to be effective.

Based on his experience studying interstitial cells.

This dose of interstitial cells would have virtually no effect on an adult.

Orochimaru shook his head; this experiment was a complete waste of time.

When Tsunade saw Orochimaru shaking his head, she assumed he was still concerned about the safety of the experimental subjects.

She sighed and said, "I'm not as professional as you when it comes to human experimentation, but sometimes, being a bit radical isn't necessarily a bad thing."

"No, sister!" Before Tsunade could finish speaking, Nawaki quickly shook his head to interrupt her.

The boy eagerly stepped forward, blocking Tsunade and Orochimaru, and said loudly and earnestly, "Who says Master's experiments are useless!"

Orochimaru was taken aback by this: "Oh? Nawaki, what do you mean by that?"

Nawaki puffed out his chest confidently and said excitedly, "I saw with my own eyes today that someone can use Wood Release!"

"What?!" Tsunade was shocked and jumped up from her chair. "Nawaki, you said someone successfully used Wood Release? Why didn't you say so sooner!"

"Who is it? Where are they? What's the situation?!"

Orochimaru stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning, his expression instantly frozen.

This is impossible!

He stared blankly at the volunteers who were still unconscious on the hospital beds, his heart filled with turmoil.

In his view, there was absolutely no chance of this experiment succeeding!

auditorium.

Kakashi was slightly taken aback, feeling quite surprised.

After all, he had secretly investigated this Wood Release experiment and clearly remembered that the experiment was extremely dangerous, with almost all of the dozens of child subjects dying, leaving only Dai and one survivor.

But now, in this dream world, the experiment has been declared a success without any casualties?

This result left Kakashi in disbelief for a moment.

Jiraiya and Tsunade, standing to the side, were equally shocked.

However, what surprised the two even more than hearing the news of the "experiment's success" was Orochimaru's attitude towards Nawaki.

When Orochimaru smiled just now, it's no exaggeration to say that there was a hint of gentle maternal glow at the corners of his mouth.

Tsunade and Jiraiya exchanged a glance, both looking as if they had seen a ghost—
