Satoru's home.
In the corridor, a figure appeared with a child.
The child had blue hair and was wearing a child's kimono with long sleeves.
His face was pale, and his hand was holding the hand of the man in front of him.
"So this is Sensei Satoru's house, it's really big."
Mitsuki looked at the surroundings like an innocent child.
Orochimaru smiled, "Of course, this is the foundation he built himself. You can do it too in the future."
The child, Mitsuki, was an experimental subject he had cultivated.
He possessed his high scientific research achievements.
Over the years, he had finally mastered the power he needed to control and could now roam outside.
This was also Mitsuki's first time seeing the outside world.
Before, due to the power within him, he had only viewed it from a screen in the laboratory.
"I'm not interested in this. I just want to know if I can defeat him when I grow up, with my power."
As he spoke, his body's Chakra transformed into a green giant snake, coiling around him.
"Don't use Chakra here. This is a wedding, not a fight."
Orochimaru instructed.
"Yes, Father."
Mitsuki withdrew his power.
Orochimaru: "If you train hard, you might surpass me, but surpassing that guy, the chances are not very high."
The power of Sage Mode, combined with Ōtsutsuki genes, was only to lay a good foundation for Mitsuki.
Whether he could ultimately surpass Satoru, he couldn't say for sure.
After all, Satoru, including himself now, was confident in defeating several Ōtsutsuki.
But now was not the time to think about such things; what was important now was attending the wedding.
However, this house was too big. Every time he came, he didn't want to walk; it was truly a waste of time.
"Orochimaru, why are you here?"
Just then, a voice rang out. Orochimaru turned around and saw a person leading a girl even older than Mitsuki appearing before them.
Leading the way was Satoru's former disciple, Ibara Keisen, a Konoha Jonin, and his former disciple, Anko Mitarashi.
At this moment, Ibara Keisen still looked the same, but he had matured a lot, and stubble had appeared.
He looked like a middle-aged man.
As for Anko Mitarashi, she had gained a lot of weight, clearly well-fed.
"To attend the wedding, just like you. Long time no see, Anko, you've married well."
Orochimaru congratulated her.
He was pleased that his former disciple was doing so well now.
"Aren't you under surveillance? How did you get here?"
Anko shielded her daughter behind her.
Orochimaru smiled, "I'm under Satoru's supervision, aren't I? Besides, I'm not interested in your child. Seeing her is like seeing the old you. Call her Grand-teacher, little girl."
Mitsuki watched from the side, his eyes full of curiosity for the girl hiding behind Anko.
Did she also inherit her father's power?
He sensed the aura of a snake.
Thorny Dumpling hid behind her mother, also curiously looking at the smiling child.
"You... hello, Grand-teacher, and..."
Dumpling politely replied, then realized she didn't know the boy.
Mitsuki: "My name is Mitsuki, what's your name?"
"My name is Thorny Dumpling, I'm four years old."
Dumpling said softly.
Anko looked at Mitsuki with a slight frown. She sensed Orochimaru's power.
Was this guy still doing human experiments? How detestable.
Why hadn't Sensei Satoru stopped him?
Ibara Keisen: "Since we're all here for the wedding, let's go together. I heard Sensei Satoru prepared a lot of things for this wedding, not just gifts, but also some things you don't usually see. What a grand wedding!"
In the blink of an eye, Sensei's child was already getting married.
"By the way, what gift did you prepare?"
Ibara Keisen said, holding a gift box in his hand.
It was quite exquisitely packaged.
His familiar demeanor seemed to indicate he wasn't worried about Orochimaru's presence.
He believed his Sensei would certainly not allow such a dangerous person to wander freely.
It must be because he was at ease that Orochimaru was allowed to be here.
"Don't worry, I have a gift prepared for Satoru."
Orochimaru swiped his finger over a ring on his hand, and a large gift box appeared.
"Eh? Why did a large gift box suddenly appear? Is it Summoning Jutsu?"
Dumpling, now four years old, already had some understanding of Ninja matters and knew a lot about Ninja.
This situation was like the Summoning Jutsu her mother talked about.
Mitsuki heard her and smiled, "No, it's a spatial ring, a new type of Scientific Ninja Tools from the Technology Development Bureau. It's much more convenient than the Sealing Jutsu of the past. You just need to inject Chakra to retrieve the items stored inside. It's very convenient!
And it also has Chakra recognition ability. Only the Chakra of the ring's owner can retrieve the items inside. It's very convenient!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand, and a greenish-blue ring came into Dumpling's view.
"Is that so? Have Scientific Ninja Tools developed to this extent? How amazing."
Ibara Keisen looked on enviously.
This was much better than using his summoning scrolls.
And he only needed to inject Chakra to retrieve items.
For a Ninja like him, it was truly too convenient.
Dumpling's eyes also lit up: "Can I have one too? Is it expensive?"
Anko looked at the boy opposite, using such a thing to fool her daughter, feeling very displeased.
Her chubby face was filled with killing intent.
However, Mitsuki seemed not to notice, and replied, "Haha, this is the latest technology. Currently, only a few core personnel of the Technology Development Bureau have it. It contains many important metals and is set with many spatial Ninjutsu. The cost is not cheap, and it's not yet available on the market."
"That's too bad. I have so many dolls. It would be great if I could put them in a ring."
Thorny Dumpling lamented.
If she could put them in a ring, she could take them everywhere to play.
Her other friends would definitely be very envious.
"Let's go. Things like this, sooner or later, all of Konoha's Jonin will have them. But they should be quite expensive, so you'll need to save up, or have your Sensei give you one."
Orochimaru chatted, watching the fireworks still firing continuously above, and walked towards the wedding venue.
"Indeed, but let's rely on ourselves. I believe we should be able to afford it."
Ibara Keisen scratched his head. His job was pretty good; he should be able to afford it, right?
Then they followed with the children.
Mitsuki let go of Orochimaru's hand and walked next to Dumpling, smiling as they walked.
Dumpling's face was slightly red, a little shy.
The whole child was soft and sweet.
Anko felt like drawing her blade.
But it was Sensei Satoru's son's wedding, so she could only suppress the urge to beat him up.
Besides, Orochimaru was also there.
