Orochimaru's way of living is undoubtedly selfish, and he will not take any responsibility, so he can do anything without any scruples.

Killing people, experimenting on human beings, and provoking wars...... These things may just be 'fun' for Orochimaru.

Orochimaru doesn't need anyone else, and no one needs Orochimaru...... The only accident may be the only one!

But Hinata is different, Hinata has its own responsibilities, and at first it may have been imposed on Hinata by others, but when the bond is created, Hinata becomes willing.

"Are you afraid of loss, of being alone?"

Orochimaru hit the nail on the head, he understood Hinata's mentality very well at this time, because he had such a mentality before.

The first time I killed someone, the first time I did human experiments, and the first time I saw a test subject die on a test bench...... Then he was discovered by the three generations of Hokage, defected from Konoha and wandered the ninja world alone.

When Orochimaru was desperate to pursue his ideals, he was also confused, but in the end, Orochimaru was determined to follow the path he chose.

After a long time, I feel that there is nothing, but I occasionally recall the past, and I inevitably still have some nostalgia in my heart.

It's just that the more time passes, the weaker this nostalgic feeling becomes, but it is also more worth cherishing.

Orochimaru can kill three generations, as well as Jiraiya and Tsunade. Orochimaru will leave tears in his eyes when he kills them, and will occasionally miss the past after killing them.

But that's about it.

"In fact, after living for a long time and seeing more death, these are nothing."

Orochimaru thinks that Hinata can understand him, and with the same ideal of pursuing immortality, Hinata will become a person like him sooner or later.

The reluctance now is only because Hinata has not seen the departure of her companions and relatives with her own eyes.

There are only a few people in this world who can give you warmth.

Hinata was silent, and Hinata admitted that she was really afraid of losing her bonds, afraid of being alone, so she willingly took on the responsibilities imposed on her by others.

"The bond between people...... It's amazing! ”

Hinata has some emotion that if you get along with people for a long time, you will regard each other as your important person and give affection to each other.

Because I am afraid that the feelings I have paid will be hurt, I want to fight for my life to protect the other party.

Orochimaru said coldly: "Feelings are the most selfish thing in this world, so the most unacceptable thing for us is betrayal, and if we pay, we must be rewarded!" ”

"Bond...... It's just an exchange of emotions. ”

"When people live, they must have a purpose, and if they don't have ideals, they will lose the motivation to live. But the ideal is different, and the way of living will be different. ”

Hinata nodded slightly.

Hinata fully agrees with Orochimaru's statement, the bond is the exchange of emotions, and the protection of the bond is also an ideal.

And what about Hinata herself?

Hinata fell into deep thought, what kind of life should she choose?

When facing Urashiki, Hinata did not transform Urashiki into chakra fruit in order to appease his conscience.

But in retrospect, trying to appease the conscience was also a form of selfishness.

"Everything we do, it's really just for ourselves."

Hinata said from the bottom of her heart: "I want to protect because we don't want to lose, not really for each other." ”

After a pause, Hinata was a little puzzled and said, "Uncle Snake, so in your opinion, what kind of person is the third generation who died fighting for Konoha?" ”

"For Konoha?"

Orochimaru sneered and said coldly: "No matter how selfless a person is, in the final analysis, it is his own choice. ”

"Those who seem to be great, those who give their lives for the sake of others...... It's only because it brings benefits to others that it will be praised by others. ”

"But who knows what they really thought before they died?"

Hinata sighed silently in her heart, as if she understood a little, but she didn't seem to understand it.

Orochimaru's way of life is still not suitable for Hinata after all, and Hinata doesn't want to be a person like Orochimaru.

"Uncle Snake, I'm much more greedy than you!"

Hinata said in a firm tone and chuckled, "I want to fulfill my ideals, and I also want to protect the people I want to protect, and I will do this within the rules." ”

"Being bound by the rules, I may lose some freedom, but I am actually willing to take these responsibilities and enjoy the joy of being responsible."

"Even if I can't be as free as you in my life, I even want to be like you from the bottom of my heart...... But I'm greedy and don't want to lose any of them! ”

Orochimaru listened quietly to Hinata's words, imagining in his heart what he would be like now if he hadn't left Konoha at the beginning.

It's just that Orochimaru has made a choice after all, and he has regretted it from the end.

Hinata also stopped talking, and although the topic of conversation with Orochimaru this time was different from Hinata's confused question, Hinata also untied the knot in her heart and had a further understanding of the meaning of life.

"It's growing again!"

All our choices are measured by our inner values, and our choices are determined by our own values.

To put it simply, it's the degree of care.

Why should we care about things we don't care about?

People's minds change all the time, but as long as you respect your heart at the moment, it's fine.

It's like a Pu style...... Hinata chose to give up at the time, so there was nothing to regret.

And for the Dragon Cave Cave, since Hinata has never taken them to heart, then why should he care about them having no less wisdom than humans?

To live, people must have ideals, and they must also bear sins.

This evil happens all the time, because the energy that sustains human existence is obtained through plunder.

Plunder nature, plunder other species, and even plunder your own kind.

"Uncle Snake...... Looks like we're going to make a move! ”

Hinata was still sensing the change in his state of mind, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a huge chakra leaving the confines of the Dragon Cave.

Orochimaru jumped onto the tree, even though it was far away, but Orochimaru vaguely saw a red giant snake, spitting out snake letters and crawling towards the distance.

"It's Xinya!"

Orochimaru said lightly: "This guy has a short personality and likes to devour humans, looking at its direction, it should have found new prey." ”

Hinata turned her gaze to the direction where Xinya was crawling, and sure enough, there was a group of caravans resting.

Omniscient and omnipotent, Hinata appeared next to Orochimaru out of thin air.

"Uncle Snake, just catch this guy!"

Hinata was a little interested, judging from Chakra's reaction alone, this guy was much stronger than Wan Snake and Wen.

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly.

This is...... Is time and space ninjutsu?
