After learning that Orochimaru could go to the Moon,
Tomoki-kun also became interested in the Moon. He could visit the Ninja World anytime, but opportunities to go to the Moon were rare.
After reaching an agreement, Orochimaru began preparations.
Three days later, Tomoki, Orochimaru, and Haku set off.
Well, Orochimaru was hidden in Haku's sleeve.
And the already extremely weak Orochimaru became even weaker, having been soaked in a jar before leaving.
Tomoki felt that if Orochimaru continued to play like this, he would eventually play himself out of existence.
To reach their destination quickly, Tomoki did not specially accommodate Haku's speed and advanced rapidly.
Midway, Haku, unable to keep up, was picked up by Tomoki and carried along.
It literally demonstrated what it meant to 'take you to show off and fly'.
After Tomoki carried him, they departed in the morning and arrived at the cave where the Moon passage was located by evening.
Upon reaching that peculiar pool of water,
Haku began setting things up under Orochimaru's guidance.
The current Orochimaru was just a small snake, and under all perceptions, he was an ordinary white snake.
He couldn't use Ninjutsu, his Chakra reaction was extremely low, and he couldn't even speak.
Tomoki couldn't figure out how Haku communicated with Orochimaru.
Ignoring the person and snake diligently working, Tomoki leaned against the cave wall and closed his eyes.
It was night; what else could he do but sleep?
Early the next morning, Tomoki opened his eyes on time, stretched, and then
seeing the person and snake still busy, he asked,
"How much longer?"
The person and snake, who were busy enjoying themselves, were a little displeased after being interrupted by Tomoki, but in just a moment, they remembered who the interrupter was.
It was Tomoki-kun, so it was fine!
A few seconds later, Haku spoke.
"Lord Tomoki, Lord Orochimaru asked me to tell you that it will take another half a day."
"I see. Then you two get back to work!"
After Tomoki finished speaking, he walked out of the cave.
Starting from the cave, he followed the path they came from, placing Flying Thunder God surgical procedure at regular intervals.
Whether it was useful or not, Tomoki decided to build the 'highway' first.
Calculating the time, Tomoki, who had been building the road outside all morning, returned to the cave right on schedule.
When he arrived at the edge of the pool, Tomoki saw the two who had undergone a great change.
Haku had two drum-like protrusions on his temples, but the most striking features were the snake pupils in his Byakugan and the scales on his cheeks.
Seeing this instantly, Tomoki understood: Ryūchi Cave Sage Mode.
However, Haku's aura was gradually weakening, while Orochimaru's aura was growing stronger.
Was this a transfer of power?
Tomoki knew that in ancient times, Ashura was able to defeat Indra precisely because of his ability to transfer power.
He immediately activated his Sharingan to observe carefully.
It wasn't such a high-level operation, or rather, the method Orochimaru was using now was quite high-level, but it wasn't what Tomoki wanted.
The Sharingan could clearly see that Haku was concentrating all his Sage Mode Chakra into the cursed seal on his chest.
And Orochimaru's body also had a cursed seal that resonated with it, constantly gushing out power to fill Orochimaru's body, and correspondingly, Orochimaru's aura continuously strengthened.
Finally, after Haku exited Sage Mode due to the scarcity of Sage Mode Chakra, the connection between the two was broken.
After it ended, Haku became listless, while Orochimaru became radiant.
"Let's go, Tomoki-kun."
Orochimaru saw Tomoki-kun at his side and gestured for them to leave, while Tomoki-kun's gaze turned to Haku.
Feeling where Tomoki-kun's gaze was directed, Orochimaru explained,
"Haku is not participating in this operation!"
Tomoki-kun made no comment on their internal affairs, but seeing Haku quickly recovering his Chakra cross-legged after eating a few pills, Tomoki-kun still asked,
"Not one more time?"
Orochimaru shook his head and said,
"That was already the third time. The cursed seal has reached its limit. Let's go quickly, Tomoki-kun, I will get weaker and weaker as time passes!"
Since Orochimaru said it was enough, Tomoki-kun wouldn't, as an outsider, instruct an expert. He nodded and walked towards the 'pool' first.
The two quickly reached the bottom of the pool, where numerous surgical procedure had already been set up.
"Tomoki-kun, just input Chakra into these surgical procedure. There's no specific order, but the central surgical procedure must be input last."
Orochimaru explained the method to open the passage.
Tomoki-kun did not refuse. Orochimaru was currently in a 'trial card' state, so Tomoki-kun didn't need to quibble over such small matters.
Finding a nearby surgical procedure, Tomoki-kun injected Chakra into it.
0.1 units, 0.5 units, 1 unit...
Silently calculating the amount of Chakra input, it wasn't until 2 units that Tomoki-kun saw the surgical procedure light up.
Looking at the dozen or so similar surgical procedure around, and the central surgical procedure that clearly looked like a major one,
he realized that even just opening a door, very few in the Ninja World could achieve it.
It took less than ten minutes for all the surrounding surgical procedure to light up, and the central surgical procedure also lit up a minute later.
Seeing this, especially with Tomoki-kun still looking calm and composed, Orochimaru couldn't help but lick his lips.
Then Orochimaru came to Tomoki-kun's side and said,
"Later, just head towards the light. If Tomoki-kun is worried, I can go first!"
Tomoki-kun did not refuse Orochimaru's suggestion to lead the way. Tomoki-kun never lacked the necessary prudence.
"Then please, Senior Orochimaru!"
