Chapter 242: Their Respective Paths
"Chiba, what the hell is going on? How did you end up here?"
"Uh..."After being slightly silent for a moment, Chiba said helplessly: "To put it simply, I've been waiting for Orochimaru here." ”
"Wait for Orochimaru?"
Jiraiya looked at Chiba in shock, things seemed to be much more complicated than he thought.
A few drops of anxious cold sweat broke out slightly on his head, and he shouted at Orochimaru: "Orochimaru, the teacher has promised me, as long as you can admit your mistakes and promise not to do similar things in the future, he can protect you with your merits, so..."
"Huh. Orochimaru smiled hoarsely: "Jiraiya, haven't you seen it yet, I have already planned to leave Konoha a long time ago, even if there is no matter today, I have actually made plans to leave Konoha." ”
Saying that, Orochimaru looked at Chiba beside him: "Not long ago, Chiba came to tell me that he became a new ninja village, hoping to invite me to join, and I was almost ready to agree." ”
"Why?"
Jiraiya asked through gritted teeth.
He couldn't imagine why Orochimaru would do such a thing.
"Because, of course... Konoha is in my way. ”
Saying that, Orochimaru's expression suddenly became indifferent: "This village has too many restrictions on me, restricting my scientific research direction, restricting my access to materials, and especially wasting my time to do those boring tasks, I am indeed fed up with such days." ”
"Such a rotten village, and rotten teachers... Originally, I thought that after I became the Hokage, I could change this situation, but now it seems that there is no chance..."
"Orochimaru, those human body studies of yours..."Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru with solemnity: "Orochimaru, you have embarked on the wrong path..."
As he spoke, Jilai suddenly rushed up: "Now, I must bring you back on track..."
"Bang!"
Chiba's earth escape collided with Jiraiya's fire escape in an instant.
"Whew-"
Immediately afterwards, Chiba grabbed Jiraiya's wrist.
"Chiba, are you really going to do it with me?" Jiraiya's eyes were full of anger.
Shaking his head gently, Chiba said helplessly: "Give up, Jiraiya sensei, it is impossible for Orochimaru to go back." ”
"Chiba, why do you want to do this..."Thinking of Orochimaru's so-called Chiba's invitation, he became more and more angry.
Chiba smiled helplessly: "Jiraiya-sensei, you should understand that even without me, Orochimaru will have to leave Konoha sooner or later, and it is precisely because I saw this that I sent him an invitation." ”
Saying that, Chiba slammed Jiraiya away.
"Give it up, Jiraiya-sensei, everyone has their own path to follow, just like me, I have always longed for revenge, and Orochimaru longs for truth and eternal life, perhaps, in Jiraiya-sensei's opinion, Orochimaru's path is wrong and unforgivable, but in his opinion, your thoughts are not ridiculous. ”
Dead frowning, Jiraiya gritted his teeth and said, "Get out of the way, no matter what, I'm going to bring the Great Snake Pill back today." ”
"Bang!"
In the Valley of the End, Jiraiya continued to attack the three of Chiba in waves, but the result was obvious.
In the face of Chiba, Scorpion, and Orochimaru's three masters, even if a few people did not kill them, they were not opponents at all.
"Ahem!"
After a long battle, Jiraiya fell to the ground clutching his injured ribs.
"Orochimaru... I must, bring you back..."
Looking at Jiraiya, who was lying on the ground, gritting his teeth and constantly struggling to get up, Chiba and Orochimaru's feelings were very complicated.
Of course, Chiba understands better than others that Orochimaru's departure is also a huge blow to Jirai.
From today onwards, I am afraid that the days to come and go will only be spent in regret and regret, and Orochimaru will become his eternal scar.
To some extent, the relationship between Orochimaru and Jiraiya is like a replica of the relationship between Naruto and Sasuke later.
Maybe the relationship between them is indeed deep, but they still have their own path to go after all.
After a moment of silence, Orochimaru said hoarsely, "Let's go." ”
"Hmm. Chiba nodded and looked at Jiraiya again: "Jiraiya-sensei, I can promise you again that I will not do anything to Konoha unless necessary, as for Orochimaru, I will also supervise him, in fact, even without me, I believe that Orochimaru should be able to maintain restraint against Konoha." ”
As they spoke, several people began to walk into the distance.
"Orochimaru, do you really want to break all our bonds? Sarutobi-sensei, me, and Tsunade... You're really not at all..."
Jiraiya kept shouting angrily.
Hearing this, Orochimaru was slightly stunned and stopped.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Orochimaru smiled disdainfully: "These feelings will only become an obstacle on my way forward, for me, no matter who stands in my way, even if it is you, I will definitely kill you without hesitation." ”
Saying that, Orochimaru continued to leave without looking back.
"Orochimaru! Orochimaru!"
"Ahh
Jiraiya was full of pain and kept pounding the ground, and the sound was extremely desolate.
And right on Orochimaru's side, Chiba could clearly see the slightly moist corners of Orochimaru's eyes.
There is no doubt that Orochimaru still has an unusually deep affection for Jiraiya, otherwise he would not have missed the opportunity to give the three generations a chance to escape the ghouls to seal him because of tears when he was about to kill them.
It's just that for Orochimaru, there is indeed something more important than feelings.
"Let's go, where are we going next, back to your ninja village?"
Shaking his head slightly, Chiba said softly, "Before we go back, I think we should collect some more materials, and besides, I also need some prisoners." ”
Saying that, Chiba set his eyes in the direction of the land country.
