Two ryo had passed since Kushina became the jinchuriki.
All her outdoor missions were completely cancelled. She didn't even need to perform any duties. In return, she could receive a certain monthly allowance.
She was very clear about the reason, but she had no choice.
After all, her status had changed. As a jinchuriki, she had to endure this.
Fortunately, Minato Namikaze and Chiyama Gekko were there. Otherwise, she might have felt even more lonely.
Over at Chiyama Gekko's place.
"Yugura, is Sunagakure fun?"
"I've never seen the yellow sand... What's it like?"
"If it's all sand, how do you guys in Sunagakure survive? Don't you lack water?"
Kushina and Yugura were sitting together, drinking tea and having desserts.
"What's so good about sand? It's nothing compared to Konoha. But there's an underground river beneath Sunagakure."
"So there's no shortage of water."
It only took one day for Yugura and Kushina to become familiar with each other from mere acquaintances.
After all, their situations were quite similar in a way.
One couldn't leave the village, and neither could the other. They were in exactly the same situation.
Yugura was extremely surprised when she learned that the young girl in front of her was the jinchuriki.
Similarly, Kushina was also so shocked that her jaw dropped when she found out that Yugura was a ninja from Sunagakure and was brought back by Chiyama Gekko.
Just like that, after a day of chatting and getting to know each other, the two became friends.
"So, that bastard Chiyama has gone to see his teacher again?"
"Yeah, he said he's doing some kind of research. He's being so mysterious."
Yugura grumbled angrily about Chiyama, thinking: He promised to show her around Konoha, but he only lasted for three days of enthusiasm, just three days. And then he disappeared!
"Humph, you can never trust men! Minato said he'd accompany me, but then he went on a mission right away."
"Humph, Yugura, how about we go shopping?"
Kushina was a restless soul. Keeping her in one place would be torture for her.
"Huh? Just the two of us? Is that okay?"
"After all, my status..."
Actually, Yugura also really wanted to go out and have a look, but her identity was rather special.
She didn't want to cause trouble for Chiyama.
After all, she could stay here safely now thanks to Chiyama joining the Anbu.
"Come on, it's okay. Although we can't leave the village, what's wrong with just strolling around in the village."
After Kushina's relentless pestering, Yugura softened her heart and agreed to her.
Then the two walked into the village and started wandering around.
At the same time, in Orochimaru's laboratory.
"Rashii, Chiyama-kun. Your idea is spot-on."
"Ninjas with multiple elemental attributes are quite common. But the question is, why don't they possess the Kekkei Genkai?"
"That's because their bloodlines lack a guiding element. If we provide guidance and force the elements to mix, we can create new attributes."
"Unfortunately, although your and Yugura's bloodlines are amazing, they're not enough to support this research."
"Although there is Strength in the blood, there is still too little of it, and its activity has also greatly declined. Alas... what a pity..."
In the past two ryo months, Orochimaru has been analyzing the Kekkei Genkai with Chiyama Gekko, hoping to create a Kekkei Genkai artificially.
Although the experiment has made some progress, due to the limited materials, they cannot explore further.
Chiyama Gekko's face was a bit pale at this time. In the past two ryo months, Orochimaru had drawn blood from him almost every other day.
He had become a mobile blood bank, but his blood alone could not support Orochimaru's research to continue.
This was the scene of Orochimaru's sigh just now.
"Teacher... you've already been very successful. I guess there isn't a second person in the whole ninja world who could explore this far."
"But, teacher, can you stop drawing my blood... I feel like I'm anemic."
Orochimaru looked at his beloved disciple with a pale face and smiled slightly.
"Chiyama-kun, stop pretending. Although I draw a few tubes of your blood every other day, I've given you plenty of blood-replenishing potions."
"With your constitution, you won't be anemic at all."
"If you want something, just say it. Considering you've cooperated with me in the experiment for so long, maybe I'll agree."
Since the experiment had made progress, Orochimaru was in a good mood.
Hearing that there would be a reward, Chiyama Gekko's face instantly turned rosy.
This was his way of using chakra, an extension of the Eight Gates Formation, where he opened the first gate of the Eight Gates Formation and used the increased chakra to forcibly restrict the blood circulation on his face.
It had to be said that this guy was very talented in developing ninjutsu, but his development direction was all wrong.
"Teacher, I think you're also very talented in equipment research."
"Can you make me a set of armor? It doesn't have to be too exaggerated, just be able to spit fire and discharge electricity."
Orochimaru: ... Are you even making sense?
Armor? And it has to be able to spit fire? Discharge electricity? Why don't you just ask for it to be able to fly to the sky!
Chiyama Gekko: Sorry, I can fly on my own...
"Hehe, Chiyama-kun, I think you're itching for a beating. How about the teacher have a practice session with you?"
"I'm afraid you've regressed in the past two ryo months."
Seeing Orochimaru's increasingly dangerous look in his eyes, Chiyama Gekko shivered violently.
Come on! If you won't make it, just say no. Why wanna fight me?
"Um... Teacher, I think it's still early. I'm going to take a bath. I won't disturb you with your research!"
"I'm outta here!"
He activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared right in front of Orochimaru.
Watching Chiyama Gekko leave in a hurry, Orochimaru couldn't help but give a sinister smile.
"It seems I have to set up an isolation formation here next time. Flying Thunder God Technique... hehe..."
.
.
After escaping from the laboratory, Chiyama Gekko sat on the surface of the Hokage Rock, looking at the village below, and couldn't help but complain.
"Humph! Stingy. Is it really that difficult to make a suit of armor?"
"Forget it. I guess he hasn't got into that high - level mechanical research yet."
"Ah, I haven't gained any attributes in these two ryo. So annoying!"
"It's time to do my old business..."
"Huh? Those two people..."
Suddenly, Chiyama Gekko activated Insect Eyes and looked down at the commercial street.
After he saw clearly, he couldn't help exclaiming, "How did they get out!"
"Korega Kushina, it's okay if she ran out by herself, but why did she bring Yugura out too?"
But the next second, he smiled.
"Hehe... Isn't this a great opportunity..."
"Let me think about how to do it without being noticed..."
