Come across
The road of life is full of coincidences and. Surprises and frightens can often occur in the next moment.
For Orochimaru, who is also a teacher and friend with Zhou Zhu, this man who blocked the way for the two of them to go to the Land of Thunder was frightened!
At both ends of the Keisaka Bridge across the left bank of the river, two groups of people are facing each other across the bridge. In fact, it is said that it is two groups, and they are a bit like Zhou Zhu is raising his own value.
In fact, the two people who were looking at each other across the bridge at this time only had each other in their eyes, and they couldn't tolerate Zhou Zhu as an outsider.
For the other party, Zhou Zhu was just a follower or new companion wearing the same black background blood cloud robe as Orochimaru.
And for Orochimaru, Zhou Zhu is just a burden, and it will be extremely troublesome to fight for a while.
The spring breeze blows the wine and wakes up, and the slightly drunk cherry blossoms make the bridge clothes.
The wind blew, causing the tall figure on the opposite side to shake his head a few times with the wind. A long white hair like a lion's mane reflected the slanting sun majestically as he swayed.
After shaking off a bit of last night's hangover, he stepped on the clogs, let the clogs walk on the petals on the bridge, and walked towards Orochimaru and Shusuke on the other side of the bridge.
As he came over, he raised his right hand with armor as if he were greeting an acquaintance. He greeted him with great warmth and cordiality: "Hi Sasaki - oh Luoqi red deer! (Long time no see - Orochimaru!) )
At this point, Zhou Zhu has been able to completely confirm who the true identity of this man who suddenly appeared and blocked his way with Uncle Snake!
This man wearing a special forehead guard with the word "oil" painted on it, long white lion's mane hair hanging down to his waist, red marks under his eyes to modify eye makeup, and a red coat is the same as Orochimaru in the position of the three ninjas of Konoha - Jiraiya!
That, "Swimming Dragon Angelica Sea, the sea does not welcome me" - Zilai!
In Zhou Zhu's mental perception, this first official meeting with Jiraiya was not very grand.
As mentioned earlier, this meeting is more like a kind. Even the people who didn't do it right, were slightly drunk at this time, and it was already dusk in the evening, but they still had a bit of yesterday's hangover. Zhou Zhu, who is very familiar with the style of the original work, even has to wonder if this guy has just come out of the writing material from a gentle township.
Facing his former companion who came over with a greeting, Orochimaru didn't show any good face.
Zhou Zhu can think that this is just an encounter. But Orochimaru thinks of more...... More.
"yes, it's been a long time~ Jiraiya." Orochimaru licked his lips casually and said, "It seems that this plan of our Xiao organization, what went wrong and made you catch my clues?"
Faced with Orochimaru's speculation, Jilai also hurriedly shook his hand and said, "It's just a coincidence, it's just a coincidence!" Although I got information, it was said that members of the Akatsuki Organization would rush to the Land of Thunder in the near future. But I'm just around here, trying my luck. ”
"Who would have thought of such a coincidence? It's like a heavenly arrangement, so I met you here-Orochimaru! His originally plain tone, but at this time, he took an abrupt turn: "Come back to the village with me - Orochimaru!" ”
His footsteps suddenly stopped in the middle of the bridge, and he yelled at Orochimaru, who was on the other side of the bridge, trying to wake up Orochimaru, "Do you know what you're doing? You're starting a new war with that unknown organization! ”
"From the Land of Water to the Land of Earth, then to the Land of Wind not long ago, and then to the Land of Thunder now. You're creating a war with that unknown organization, a war that is even more subversive than the ninja war! At that time, there will be far more people who will be drawn into the abyss of war than in any ninja war. ”
"Could this be the reason why you left Konoha? Could this be what my former best friend was after? Have you forgotten those innocent people who died in the ninja war? Orochimaru, I never thought that in just one year, you would fall to such an extent! ”
In the face of Jiraiya's reprimand, Orochimaru spread his hands and explained disdainfully: "I don't know what it is? Hehe~ You never understood my pursuit! ”
"I can tell you that I am on the right path, and your narrow vision will never see what I seek!"
Seeing that the two guys fell into a confrontational situation because of misunderstanding, Zhou Zhu did not have the mind to solve the misunderstanding for the two of them. Instead, he watched from the sidelines, watching Orochimaru break with Jiraiya.
The two took different paths, and Orochimaru disdained to defend himself even more. Because if you become a big thing, you will inevitably take the road of shortcuts that are very wrong in the eyes of ordinary people. It's just because, the normal path, simply can't touch the goal they are pursuing.
What Zilai said is not unreasonable, but it is too one-sided.
The Akatsuki organization is relying on the daimyo - the power of the priests, and the form seems to be getting more and more terrifying. Three of the five major powers have been wiped out, and the remaining priest forces are very likely to pull the entire ninja world to be buried in a desperate situation. This is, as it is also called, that the Xiao organization is creating war.
However, a gentleman like him would not understand this Tao hidden behind the dark corners. As the more ninja priests are resolved by the Xiao organization, the greater the momentum of the major ninja villages in the ninja world.
Xiao's actions have been secretly applauded by many ninja villages, and they are fully supported in the back.
Not to mention that the three generations of Tsuchikage of Iwakuin Ninja Village sold their own divine court, and the four generations of Kazekage of Sand Hidden Village came to ask for cooperation. Even Zhou Suke's trip to the Land of Thunder this time was an action by the four generations of Thunder Shadow who secretly collaborated with the Akatsuki organization after witnessing the skyrocketing power of Onoki.
Zilai is also the kind of guy who walks the right path, and he won't understand the pros and cons in the shadows that ordinary people can't see.
Even, when Jiraiya said that he had received information that the Akatsuki organization would have reinforcements to rush to the Land of Thunder, he would appear here. Zhou Zhu and Orochimaru both understood that Jiraiya, a fool, was used by those priests.
Yunyin Village is a co-conspirator of the Xiao organization, and will not leak intelligence information to the outside world. Even the ninja villages of the other four major powers, including Konoha, even if they get the information of the Akatsuki organization, they will directly press it down and burn it, and they will not send any ninjas to help the Thunder Country Divine Court and stop the members of the Akatsuki organization.
Because this is the common pursuit of interests. Now Xiao, not only is he not an enemy of the ninja village, but he is also a strong ally of the major ninja villages.
The only ones who can provide information to Jiraiya, who is tracking down Orochimaru's clues outside, are those priests.
But these, you explain to this guy Jiraiya, it is completely unnecessary. Because of the difference in ideology, no matter how many people support this plan, in the eyes of Zilai, he is extremely wrong.
Because, what these people do is to dance on the edge of a knife. If one is not good, the entire ninja world will be drawn into the flames of war.
Not to mention, go and explain to him that Orochimaru just needs the energy of the Xiao Organization to pursue the path of immortality!
No matter how you interpret it, it will be an opposing situation. Because Zhou Zhu and Orochimaru are both despicable people who take shortcuts and don't look at the process, Zhou Zhu can better understand why Orochimaru disdains to defend himself with him.
Orochimaru instead said a few words, and he caused Jiraiya to be like a madman who wanted to start a war and walk on the "right road" that Jilai couldn't understand.
You can't understand me, so why should I explain it? This is the prototype of antagonism, and this is the root of people's inability to understand each other.
Zhou Zhu was also very sad about Jiraiya's later death. And the reason for the sadness may be that he came to death and didn't wait for Orochimaru's explanation!!
Just like that, with a life that he thought was a failure, he died in a glorious battle.
Looking at the two opposing figures, Zhou Zhu seemed to see the fetters and fate that were entwined around them.
