But what is Orochimaru's purpose in asking this question?

Do you want to go along with him? If so, you'll probably please him and get his full cultivation, right?

But this kind of power obtained by bending oneself against one's heart is like selling laughter and losing one's body and dignity to get money, just putting the cart before the horse. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Moreover, having power is meant to protect the things you cherish from harm, and if you lose the most precious things for the sake of power, it is better to live than to die.

Besides, even if he is vain and wronged to please him now, the current level is vaguely passed, and in the future, if he wants to do something against his will, then he will obey or not? If he is subordinate, then he will be assimilated by Orochimaru; if he does not obey, then he will turn against him, so it is better to explain it clearly now.

Following Orochimaru all the way to the lake, Mingyu thought a lot.

Orochimaru sat down on a rock, looked at Mingyu, and said with a smile, "What about your answer?"

"Orochimaru-sensei, for me, ninja is not just a profession, an identity, but also a symbol. Mingyu said.

"Oh, tell me. ”

"A ninja is a person who works tirelessly to achieve his goals, and in order to protect his ideals, he can endure the greatest pain in the world, even at the cost of his life, this is a ninja. Mingyu said.

He still had reservations and didn't say it outright.

Orochimaru stared at him and asked further, "What is your ideal?"

Mingyu looked at him, his eyes were calm, his voice was not loud, but his tone was firm: "Protect the people you cherish." ”

Orochimaru lowered his head and smiled, his movements seemed to be nodding and seeming to shake his head, the meaning of his smile was also very complicated, it seemed to be a little disappointed, it seemed to be a little helpless, and it seemed to be a little mocking...... It seems that there are more, Mingyu can't see it.

I don't know why, Mingyu wanted to know the meaning of Orochimaru's smile, and asked rhetorically, "Teacher, what kind of existence do you think ninjas are?"

"Ninjas, first and foremost, are people who have ninjutsu talents. Orochimaru stood up, looked at the mirror-like lake, and said, "This is the most basic meaning, in addition, the so-called guardian ideals, guardian of the villagers, and guardian of the family are just the meanings given by people because of their position, identity, or desires. Human life is too short in the light of long history, too small in the vastness of nature, and too humble and ridiculous in terms of eternal truth. ”

He turned around, because of the talk of ideals, excitement and fanaticism made his pale face a little flushed, and said with a smile: "The so-called ninja is to abandon the feelings and desires of mortals, to discover this nature, to explore the secrets of history, to explore the truth of the world, as the ultimate state of intelligent life, to sleep with the sun and the moon, to breathe with the wind and rain, to coexist with heaven and earth, and to set an example for future generations - this is the true meaning of ninja." ”

Mingyu shook his head and said, "Teacher, your ideals are very great, but you have forgotten that we are just human beings, and we have our own likes and dislikes, our own likes and dislikes, and our own seven emotions and six desires, and those you said belong to non-human existence, or the category of God." ”

Orochimaru laughed, "If there is dust that blinds your eyes, how can you not wipe it away, if the truth and wisdom of the world are not exhausted, how can you not explore, if there is really a god, how can you tolerate that you are not that god?"

This is the spirit of exploration of a mad scientist, Mingyu sighed in his heart, and at the same time, he already understood that at this time, the Great Snake Pill had not only developed and researched the forbidden technique, but also probably already started to study the art of immortality.

He shook his head and didn't speak, he didn't know what to say.

Orochimaru is not like him. Orochimaru lost his loved ones since he was a child, and for him, he has neither the fetters of his loved ones, but also stands at the top of the world, and ordinary life is not attractive to him at all. Moreover, he was a man who had grown up in the midst of war, and seeing the passing of life had become almost a norm, which made him feel more deeply the transience of life and the sorrow of life, which led him to study the art of immortality.

Logically speaking, his starting point is understandable, immortality is the ideal of all life, and if he takes the right means to study the art of immortality, then it may be a thing worthy of support and encouragement.

However, there must be death in life, the birth, existence and death of things, this is the common sense of heaven and earth, is the law of nature, the art of immortality is against the sky, if it is not blessed, there is no right reason to trace, only the sword to take the edge of the edge to find another way.

However, Orochimaru's methods are too cruel, treating human life as a mustard, trampling on it at will, slaughtering it at will, and it will not be tolerated by others.

Seeing that Mingyu shook his head and was silent, Orochimaru said with a smile: "You are still too young, and the road of life is also smooth, you can't understand what I mean, that's nothing." When you grow up in the future, or go to the battlefield, you will naturally understand what I said today. ”

He walked to the lake, his figure gradually disappeared, and said, "Okay, the teacher and student have met, and the feelings have been exchanged, and this is the end of today." Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock in the Hokage's office, we have a task, get ready, maybe go out for a few days. ”

After Orochimaru left, Mingyu watched the scenery by the lake, remembering the days when he and Sunset Red trained here two or three years ago, and it was quite reminiscent of the bittersweet memories of the past.

Then he went to find Sunset Red, and when he met her about to go on a mission, he asked, and it turned out to be some miscellaneous work.

There will be a mission tomorrow, and she will go out for a few days, how can Mingyu let her do such a trivial thing, pull her to a corner, separate a shadow clone, and the two of them will slip away.

At noon, the two accompanied Keiko to go shopping and buy vegetables, the three of them had a good meal together, and chatted again, and then Keiko had to do housework, and Mingyu took Sunset Red to wander around.

……

A dark and spacious basement with flickering incandescent lights that seem to be ready to go out at any moment.

Under the incandescent light, two figures were illuminated, one was old and the other was young, one was Tuanzang, and the other was Orochimaru.

"You've seen the Uchiha's little ghost, how about it?" said Danzo.

"You care about him, do you need to worry so much?" Orochimaru walked over to an operating table, picked up a test tube and looked at it.

"The Uchiha have never been honest and obedient, one day if they don't get rid of it, one day is a hidden danger in the village, and now in addition to a genius comparable to Uchiha Madara, the Uchiha clan is even more rampant and no one is in sight. Tuan Zang said coldly.

"Mingyu is different from the other Uchiha people," Orochimaru turned around and smiled, "His weapons are bigger than those Uchiha people. ”

Danzang squinted his eyes and said, "How is his mind?"

"It's closer to Sarutobi-sensei, but it's also a little similar to yours, so maybe it can be included in your shadows!" Orochimaru said with a smile.

Danzang's eyes flashed with a glistening coldness: "Then hurry up and let him paint your color." ”

"Of course. ”
