Hanyu is a very metaphysical person.

Orochimaru himself probably didn't realize the influence of Hanyu on his thinking and behavior patterns, but all of this can be objectively reflected...... In short, Orochimaru is a person who listens to Hanyu more.

At least so far, Orochimaru had never dealt with Hanyu in a very direct way, and he could probably understand a certain point, that is, those methods were particularly easy to kill.

It can only be said that the period when Hanyu and Orochimaru got along was too special, and Orochimaru was still a child with a bubbling nose at that time.

In fact, someone like Hanyu, who is a cut older than him but not to the level of an elder like the three generations of Hokage, is the easiest to influence him...... Well, the one who is most likely to influence children is not "dad", but "big brother".

In essence, Orochimaru is still the same Orochimaru, and even his thoughts are still on the crazy side, but at some point he knows that he should restrain himself, and he doesn't show how extreme he is.

So although Orochimaru has done a lot of bad things, if you compare what he should have become, he still has to be considered a "good boy" now...... There is no harm without contrast.

When Orochimaru left Konoha, he was naturally strongly tracked by Konoha, but he still escaped very smoothly...... This snake's IQ, ability to escape, and ability to survive are all top-notch.

Even his intelligence skills and tracking skills are very good.

A month after leaving Konoha, Orochimaru appeared in the southern part of the country, and he traveled east along the southern coastline of the Fire Country, unknowingly leaving the country and going to another land.

Later, he saw a unique house with a deep and unique charm by the mountains and the sea, with a courtyard full of flowers of various colors blooming in the courtyard attached to the house, and a cobblestone path extending from the main entrance to the wooden trestle that jutted out of the sea.

It looks like you're really going about your daily life.

The fact that a person like Hanyu was able to completely calm down was something that Orochimaru didn't expect. When he learned that Hanyu had left Konoha, Orochimaru thought that there would definitely be some big news coming out of some corner of the world in the future, but the result was somewhat unexpected, and Hanyu really disappeared.

Family life? This concept is incomprehensible to Orochimaru now, and he naturally understood this feeling when he was a child, but now he has forgotten it...... After all, people can't return to their past selves.

Orochimaru's gaze extended with the view, and then he saw a small figure sitting at the end of the trestle...... Probably five or six years old.

Perhaps just out of some curiosity, Orochimaru didn't approach the house directly at this time, but walked towards the trestle.

When he got a little closer, he spotted the very familiar black cat lying beside the child.

The black cat heard footsteps behind it, and when it turned its head to look, it turned back and continued its lazy sleep when it realized who the person was who was coming...... At this time, Orochimaru couldn't help but think that it would be great if those dark ninjas in Konoha could pretend not to see him when they saw him, like this cat.

Most people don't live as comfortable as this cat.

The child in front had long black hair and a small black coat over it, and inside was a long white dress woven in gauze, the hem of which covered her slender ankles.

She wore a pair of red shoes on her feet, and as she sat there, one foot kept swinging, so that the quiet shallow sea below reflected the glittering streamer and from time to time there were small ripples.

Probably due to his habit as a ninja, Orochimaru always didn't move much when he walked, but when he approached, the kid spotted him in time and turned his head.

So Orochimaru saw a small face and delicate facial features.

You can't let Orochimaru evaluate whether a child is good-looking or not-looking, there is something wrong with his aesthetic benchmark.

So when the kid turned his head, Orochimaru only had an objective evaluation - the child's appearance looked a little "déjà vu".

And then...... She blinked, and just turned back to her head.

Well, Orochimaru was first ignored by the cat, and then by the children, so that he had to doubt himself - is my sense of existence so thin?

The child was peeling some fruit in his hand, and the flesh was either stuffed into his mouth or placed in front of the cat, and the shell was placed on the other side of the body.

She plays with her own and naturally enjoys herself.

"Don't you feel scared to see a stranger like me?"

After thinking about it, Orochimaru still chose to take another step forward, and then said like this...... It's not that Orochimaru boasts, he has always been very good at scaring crying children.

But when he said this, even his voice unconsciously softened. Well, it may be because each other is black and straight, and it is not clear that Orochimaru will also have a time of "motherhood".

"Scared? I'm not afraid, but ...... Uncle, you don't look good at dealing with children, so I thought it would be nice for you not to talk to you. ”

“……”

Hitting the bull's-eye, Orochimaru felt that his vital point was lightly poked.

That's probably what the so-called "exposing short" is all about.

Of course, Orochimaru is not good at dealing with children, so you can't expect a snake to be a good friend of children.

This little girl, judging by normal people, must be very cute on the outside, whether it is her appearance or outfit, she is as delicate as a doll. However, just based on the first impression and the first sentence, Orochimaru felt "inside".

What she just said...... said that she was sensible, she took the initiative to expose it; Let's say she's not sensible, but she's very sensible.

This seems to be a trumpet's ......

The child was swinging playfully with one foot, but the other was resting there...... Looking down from Orochimaru's vantage point, you can see that the inside of her left ankle is covered with a layer of blood, and a little bead of blood is oozing from the broken skin.

"Are you bruised on your feet?"

Look, how can communication with children be so direct and blunt? Orochimaru's ability to communicate is limited to the other party's age or greater than twelve years old in order to be more effective.

"Ah, this, don't worry about it, it's just a light scrape......"

As she spoke, this time she stood up first, then turned to Orochimaru and asked, "Uncle, are you an acquaintance of your father-sama, or an acquaintance of Tsunade's sister?" ”

"It should be said...... It's an acquaintance of both sides. ”

Orochimaru grew up with Tsunade since he was a child, and he was tossed by Hanyu since he was a child, so he must be more than just an "acquaintance" when he describes it.

So the little girl blinked her smart eyes and stretched out her right hand to him.

Well, that's certainly not meant to hold hands.

Orochimaru was a little dazed and didn't react, so after half a minute, she took her hand back again.

"Uncle, you've lived so long that you don't understand what this means?

Or forgot to prepare a gift for the little girl, or can't get the right gift for the little girl?

As you can imagine, your life must be very empty. ”

The little girl's eyes when she looked at Orochimaru were finally full of sympathy. And the compassion of children is the most sincere.

Orochimaru: "......"

Isn't it too embarrassing to ask him to prepare the right gift for the little girl?

And Orochimaru's life is really ...... Objectively speaking, it's really empty, what else does he have besides ninjutsu?

The child's pure words almost made Orochimaru blush, so it turned out that he would also have such emotions as shame?

"Sure enough...... You're the same Hanyu kid as expected. ”

After holding it for a long time, Orochimaru only held back this sentence.

Well, it's not fair, how can anyone play with snakes like this, father and son have done this for two generations, and they don't let people live?

So her identity ......

Isn't it, it's a fake.

The little girl nodded, and then said:

"Uncle, my name is ......

Hanyu Ni. ”

The so-called "neon",

A ring of sunlight, atmosphere, and water curtains.

The rainbow of the reverse color.

Children of the Rain.
