Chapter 835

Got played by this snake big sister whose face changes faster than flipping a book!

"Go on, go on, I'm waiting for you to remold your body and have a baby. Don't make me wait too long, or I might use some other method to give birth to a little snake baby!"

Waving her off dismissively, Orochimaru only left after seeing Lin Cheng glare at her, and then quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Looks like the gamble paid off, so from now on she can go ahead and do as she pleases.

"Teacher Xiao Hei, you really do understand my master. Now she really is very free."

"What's wrong?"

Senju Hashirama was at home tidying up the flowers and plants he'd grown all over the backyard. Seeing Lin Cheng appear, he lay straight down on the ground and closed his eyes to rest, curious whether something had happened or whether he'd just gotten into a fight with someone.

After all, there didn't seem to be many things that could tire him out.

"Can't fight back, can't shake off, and even threats are pointless—I actually got screwed over!"

Lying on the ground, Lin Cheng opened his eyes and looked at Senju Hashirama's Edo Tensei face, and suddenly felt like letting her find a new body.

But it was just a thought, because until Orochimaru's side was ready, Senju Hashirama's soul was best left without any other changes.

"What's wrong?"

Sitting to one side, Senju Hashirama was still a little curious about who exactly had latched onto this guy, that he could be so conflicted.

Probably a woman?

"Orochimaru—that guy Orochimaru turned into a woman."

By the end of Lin Cheng's words, besides helplessness, there was also a touch of sadness.

But he couldn't bear to throw her away either, because throwing her away would mean death. Yet Orochimaru was actually very well-behaved and not bad at all—it's just that the two of them combined that gave him the most grief.

"Doesn't he change bodies all the time? Turning into a woman or a man should be normal for him, right?" Having stayed with Orochimaru for a while before, Senju Hashirama naturally knew Orochimaru's situation.

So she didn't think there was any problem with it. Surely it wasn't that after becoming a woman, she'd cling to Lin Cheng, right?

"She won't be switching anymore from now on—she's in her original body now. And she's especially good at bullying people. Back when she bullied others I quite enjoyed watching, but now she's actually turned on me."

Lin Cheng's sighing and grumbling made Senju Hashirama beside him burst out laughing. At first she tried hard to hold it in with quiet little giggles, but gradually she stopped holding back, and that hearty laughter successfully made Lin Cheng close his eyes again.

Sure enough, better let Orochimaru hurry up and remold Senju Hashirama a body first.

This current appearance is just too stupid.

"Actually it's fine—at least she's one of us. Occasionally, you should let someone bully you a bit too."

After laughing for a while, Senju Hashirama lay on the ground, head tilted toward the sunlight in the sky. She actually felt right now that everything was really great!

Although there were still unknown dangers, life had both safety and danger.

As a ninja it was even more so—never knowing if the next moment would bring a crisis.

But some things, if you can grasp them, you should try hard to hold on—like the person beside her.

She was waiting for things after her body was remolded: being able to openly hold hands with this guy and stroll around the village, being able to eat couple's meals together, being able to let everyone know about their relationship.

It wasn't that she didn't have possessiveness—she just didn't like competing with others. But the prerequisite was that no one should try to snatch her share away.

"I'm afraid she'll come bully you in the future."

Lin Cheng tilted his head and glanced at the flowers and plants here—they were all growing well, thriving.

It was rather like the current Konoha—everything was developing in a good direction.

"I'd be afraid of a little white snake like her? And her being friends with me brings her no benefit at all." As for Orochimaru's existence, Senju Hashirama really didn't think it was any big deal.

Smart people don't dwell on many things—no one would make an issue of it.

But right now none of that was the point.

Luckily, she had just happened to forget that the village had been in a bit of troublesome uproar lately.

"Lin Cheng, let's talk about something related to the village. Who do you think would be suitable for the Fifth Hokage?"

Senju Hashirama thought about the matter everyone had been bustling around with in the village lately, and decided to hear Lin Cheng's opinion.

"Who has the highest reputation in the village lately?"

As for the candidate for the Fifth Hokage, Lin Cheng actually already knew—it was no different from the original plot.

And because Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama were both still around, no one dared to raise any objections to this matter.

Probably the only one who disagreed was the Hokage candidate herself.

(Well, well) "Everyone's saying let little Tsunade be Hokage, but with her personality…"

Senju Hashirama actually also wanted Tsunade to be the Fifth Hokage, because that way at least she'd have something to do once she got busy, and Tsunade's mind could stop being entangled with losing Nawaki.

"Then just let her be Hokage. Anyway, with you two watching, once she gets busy maybe something else will develop. I heard Jiraiya's been going to find Tsunade to beg forgiveness lately—I wonder how those two are doing now?"

Mentioning this, Lin Cheng suddenly thought of the gossip Teacher Xiao Hei had told him recently.

That guy Jiraiya, at his age, had actually broken out of his long silence and gone to peep at Tsunade's bathroom again.
