Chapter 144: Negotiation
It's hard to feel like you're poked in the center.
When Orochimaru was still a teammate, Konoha Sannin went out on missions together, and Orochimaru always thought about all aspects well and always looked trustworthy.
Orochimaru always understands them well.
Tsunade looked at the old friend who was a little strange in front of her, her face was very embarrassed, she didn't really know much about Orochimaru's thoughts, on the other hand, this old friend, even if he became her enemy, still knew her well.
"Orochimaru!"
The blonde ninja thought of the gossip she had heard in the past few days, and tried to regain the initiative in her voice: "In the past few days, someone has been saying that you attacked Konoha and killed the old man, is this true?" ”
Since her return to the Land of Fire, there have been frequent mentions of the upheavals that have taken place in Konoha during this time, and the most surprising of them is that the three Hokages died in an attack.
As a big man in the Land of Fire, who has been in charge of Konoha for decades, the death of Sarutobi is enough to shake the entire Land of Fire and affect the situation in the ninja world.
This matter cannot be suppressed.
Many aristocratic officials gathered at the main selection of the Chunin Exam, and they witnessed the death of Sarutobi Hiza, and also saw the chaotic battle between Sand Shinobi and Otoshinobi attacking Konoha.
"When you see the second Hokage-sama, you should know the truth and falsehood of the facts, so why bother to ask me?"
Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed again: "Since you have asked everything, then I will tell you the real result... That's right, it's true! It was I who controlled the second Hokage-sama to kill his disciple and kill our teacher! ”
"Then you dare to appear in front of me!"
Tsunade's expression instantly turned furious, her fists almost shiny, and she was angry that Orochimaru had killed their teacher, and she hated his elders for manipulating her.
"Tsunade, don't put on a show like this..."
Orochimaru held his forehead and hid the expression on his face in the darkness: "I told you a long time ago that people will die one day, and we should not waste time on their deaths, but master the powerful power to escape the cycle of life and death. ”
"It's still so cold-blooded... Bastard! ”
The knuckles of the blonde ninja clicked, and the anger and contempt on her face were clearly visible, her old friend, who was originally so ruthless.
Even though she knew it for a long time, she still hated it.
"Only cold-blooded will be strong."
Orochimaru slowly stepped forward and walked in front of Tsunade, staring closely at her eyes full of anger, not worrying about the threat she might face, and continued softly, "Are you like you, living in a state of confusion for those inexplicable bonds? ”
"Don't push me..."
Tsunade's fists trembled slightly, gritted his teeth to calm his emotions, and only opened his mouth to threaten, "Otherwise... Kill you! ”
“……”
Orochimaru took a few steps back, stood beside the Thousand Hands, and said softly, "I have already proposed a deal... If you can satisfy me, whether it's the Rope Tree or the Broken King, maybe I can help you resurrect, and of course, in return, I won't close their minds like I do now..."
Tsunade's heart shook: "What do you mean..."
"That's right."
Orochimaru glanced at the Thousand Hands next to him, then at the blonde female ninja opposite, and chuckled: "Their souls have returned to the world of the living from the underworld, except that their bodies are in the state of a Tainted Earth Ninja, they are no different from real living people..."
Just like in the old days, he remembered how to treat Tsunade.
When she is forced to retreat, then leave enough psychological space for her, so that this poor woman has a little bit of dignity.
Orochimaru is confident in this.
He had a ready-made test on hand.
In order to be able to win the trust of Tsunade, Orochimaru specially brought Senjuma, a second-generation Hokage who was close at hand, more convincing than any illusory language.
The blonde female ninja slowly lowered her head, stopped the trembling of her body, calmed her mood, and said softly, "Let me think about it and give you an answer tomorrow." ”
The temptation of Orochimaru is not insignificant.
Every night after getting drunk, Tsunade would be drunk and illusory, missing her brother and lover, and she wanted to see them again...
"Tsunade-sama!"
Shizune looked at the blonde woman beside her in surprise, she knew the story of Tsunade's past very well, and at this time, she was really a little worried that Tsunade would cooperate with Orochimaru, who attacked Konoha.
"Mute, I have my own plans."
Tsunade waved his hand to stop the silence, stared at Orochimaru and the thousand hands beside him, and said in a low voice: "Orochimaru, can you tell me, what do you want to do with such hard work?" ”
"Destroying Konoha of course... I'm kidding. ”
Orochimaru glanced at Tsunade's fist, which seemed to be ready to smash at any moment, as the original victim, he knew very well how much power that delicate-looking fist contained...
Now that he thought he had convinced Tsunade, he wouldn't stir up her emotions in this regard, so he opened his mouth and continued to explain: "Master all the ninjutsu in the world and pursue eternal life, are you satisfied with this answer?" ”
Tsunade was stunned for a moment when he listened, and his mind returned to the era when their Konoha Sanshinobi had just become famous, and Orochimaru at that time was calmly talking about his ideals as he is now.
After a while, the blonde female ninja remembered that Orochimaru attacked Konoha and killed the three generations of Hokage, and couldn't help but sneer, "Hmph! Then you really haven't changed your original intention! ”
"Tsunade, aren't you the same?"
Orochimaru didn't care, his expression was faintly puzzled, he raised his head and looked at the blonde female ninja, she had said that she wanted to go through the entire ninja world.
So, she became a big fat sheep walking.
"Orochimaru, your gaze is rude!"
"I'm sorry about that..."
A smile slowly appeared on Orochimaru's face: "I just can't hold back the joy that my old friend is about to stand on my side." ”
"Get out! I'll talk about it tomorrow, I'm going to drink. ”
“……”
Orochimaru nodded, according to his understanding, the Tsunade in front of him didn't want to be in the same stream as him, but because of the filthy earth reincarnation technique in his hand that could resurrect the dead, he had no choice but to agree to his conditions.
At the moment, Tsunade is so irritable, it is an indignation at his own powerlessness.
Before surrendering, you have to show that you are proud...
Orochimaru understands Tsunade's feelings.
As a superior who can tolerate the shortcomings of others, Tsunade's little emotion, for Orochimaru, makes him more confident that Tsunade will definitely choose to join him.
To be honest, Orochimaru guessed correctly, Tsunade was indeed very excited, because the lifelike Thousand Hands stood in front of her, which was really shocking.
No one knows what she's thinking.
The blonde female ninja watched Orochimaru leave with a thousand hands in silence, a hint of complexity flashing across her face.
After a while, she suddenly turned around and re-entered the casino: "Let's go, mute, accompany me to gamble!" ”
