As she spoke, Tsunade crouched on the ground and picked up a green leaf.
"Moreover, all the fallen leaves here are green, very fresh. It's obvious they have just fallen recently, and there's no black soil that is indicative of rotting branches and leaves."
"Clearly, this area has been refurbished."
Orochimaru grabbed some soil and, flicking some of it aside, put it in his mouth, softly tasting it, "The taste is indeed very fresh, imbued with the Chakra of Earth Release."
"You can even taste that?" Jiraiya expressed his inability to learn it.
"Nothing to make a fuss about," Orochimaru tossed the soil away and dusted off his hands, "It's just that I'm quite familiar with Earth Attribute Chakra, after all, snakes like to burrow in the earth."
"Kabuto, the potential of subject 626 you cultivated has exceeded my expectations. This forest spans at least twenty kilometers, and although these trees are alive, they are most likely creations of Wood Release."
