Chapter 121: Purpose

Orochimaru smiled, Xu saw that Lei Luo couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, so he simply spread his hands and said, "Forget it, I'll have something to say directly......"

After pondering for a moment, Orochimaru's face became a little more serious, and he directly stated his purpose: "Lei Luo, I want to team up with you, so let's take it as a meeting gift." ”

"And ......" Orochimaru showed an expression that I understood, and said meaningfully: "I have already reported your situation to Elder Menyan, and you will definitely be interested in that reward!" ”

Orochimaru's purpose was completely unexpected, which also caused the atmosphere in the arena to be silent for a second or two.

Lei Luo opened his mouth in a little surprise, but before he could say anything, Zilai on the side couldn't hold it back:

"Hey! Orochimaru! ”

"If you team up with Lei Luo, what should he do? Have you forgotten Tsunade's request at the time? ”

Jiraiya had an angry face, obviously, his indifferent appearance just now was just a cover-up, but in fact, he had been eavesdropping on the conversation between Lei Luo and Orochimaru.

Orochimaru didn't look back at Jiraiya, as if he ignored the other party's opinion, and just looked at Lei Luo intently.

But after a few seconds, despite still facing away from Jiraiya, Orochimaru still replied:

"Rope trees can be transferred to your squad or Tsunade's squad, as long as you vacate a spot, I think Tsunade will have a way."

Orochimaru's tone was somewhat careless, he seemed to be thinking about the problem of the rope tree, but the irritability that appeared faintly in his color was fully visible to Lei Luo.

It's a pity that I can't see Orochimaru's expression anymore.

"I also have my own pursuits, and I can't play any ninja games with a group of kids every day." Orochimaru continued, this time revealing a little truth.

This mission with Lei Luo made Orochimaru deeply aware of the fact that he was still very weak.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, if there was no Lei Luo, Orochimaru estimated that he would have to die at least twice: once at the hands of the sea snake, and once at the siege of the rain ninjas.

This cruel fact suddenly woke up Orochimaru, who had been obsessed with the "aura of genius" all day long.

Because of this, Orochimaru is no longer willing to waste any more time: no matter how lofty his dreams are, if he wants to realize them, great power is indispensable.

Orochimaru wants to become stronger, because he thinks that his current level is not enough, far from enough.

Therefore, teaming up with Lei Luo, performing difficult tasks together, and seeking breakthroughs in life and death is undoubtedly the most efficient way.

Just like this mission: facing danger twice and surviving in the end, Orochimaru has truly experienced his own growth.

And from another point of view, there are not only masters who save lives at critical moments, but also hone their actual combat skills, so why not?

Therefore, Orochimaru's next sentence directly dispelled all of Jiraiya's thoughts, which can be called ruthless:

"I've been able to carry the rope tree for so long, it's already a lot of face for Tsunade, you'd better not make it difficult for me."

"You!" Jiraiya trembled and stretched out his hand, pointed his index finger at Orochimaru, and roared angrily in his mouth:

"Orochimaru, do you still want to make a face!"

"Tsunade's ability to hand over the rope tree to you shows her trust in you!"

"How long has it been since you're going to do it? You're going to repay her like that? ”

Jiraiya questioned like a cannon, seemingly fighting for Tsunade, but even Lei Luo, who was watching the excitement next to him, experienced a strong "sour taste".

A cold light flashed in Orochimaru's eyes, obviously angered by Jiraiya's "vexatious trouble".

Not everyone is interested in Tsunade, at least he Orochimaru doesn't have the slightest feeling for Tsunade, so he naturally can't understand Jiraiya's mentality of being a "flower messenger".

So, Orochimaru straightforwardly began to fight back.

I saw that he first pretended to chuckle, and then mocked madly in a flat tone:

"Jilaiye, to say that you are stupid is to promote you."

"You're so hard working for Tsunade to complain, have people ever remembered you well?"

After saying the above words slowly, Orochimaru didn't seem to be enough, and finally made up for it:

"I advise you, it's better to honestly change your crush, don't make people inside and outside all day long."

I don't look up every day when I look down, and I think about it carefully, Orochimaru has already been watching the fire, but I'm usually too lazy to say it.

Now that Jiraiya is going to be tough, Orochimaru doesn't mind arguing with the other party, see who can say who in the end?

The little privacy in my heart was exposed on the spot by Lei Luo and Orochi one after another today, and was even used by Orochimaru to sneer at him, and he couldn't help it.

Suddenly, he stood up, and walked towards Orochimaru without saying a word, looking like that, he felt that he couldn't say anything, and he was going to have a "more intense" debate.

Lei Luo sat at the head of the bed, and was watching with great interest Jiraiya "interacting" with Orochimaru, but unexpectedly, the conflict was about to escalate, and he hurriedly scolded loudly:

"Hey! I said you, you guys, you have to fight out! ”

After all, this is Lei Luo's residence, and there are a lot of ninjutsu scrolls around it, and I am afraid that a few ninjutsu will be destroyed cleanly.

The main thing is that he hasn't finished reading some of them.

Jiraiya ignored Lei Luo's warning, and walked straight forward, seeing that the action was to grab Orochimaru's collar, but unexpectedly received an old punch in the face.

Touch!

was suddenly hit hard in the face, and he only felt dizzy in an instant, and sat down on the ground with his butt, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Orochimaru leisurely withdrew his hand, bent his arms slightly, put his clenched fist in front of his chest, and said condescendingly to Jiraiya:

"Carried away by anger?"

"But you seem to have forgotten the gap between you and me."

Seeing that Orochimaru had subdued Jiraiya, Lei Luo also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the gray light under his eyes all converged, it turned out that he was ready to do it just now.

Frowning and glancing at Zi Laiye, especially on the other party's cheek, the red and purple fist print stayed for a while, Rao Yi Lei Luo's ferocity, and couldn't help but sigh at the ruthlessness of the big snake pill.

This can be said to be broken.

Jiraiya seems to be still in a state of "bewilderment", covering his cheek with his left hand, supporting the ground with his right hand, and looking at Orochimaru in a daze.

Lei Luo judged that he should have been beaten and confused, and he had lost his combat effectiveness in a short period of time, so he immediately retracted his gaze and refocused on Orochimaru.

After a little consideration of the wording, Lei Luo said in a deep voice: "Although I really want to see the "reward" you said, but Orochimaru, there is one thing you need to figure out......

After a pause, Lei Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, and his attitude was invisibly serious:

"It's not up to me to decide who I want to team with."

"So, even if I accept your kindness, I'm afraid I can't guarantee that your goal will be achieved."

Lei Luo didn't say it explicitly, he believed that Orochimaru could understand what he meant.

"Danzo, huh?" Orochimaru answered as if he had expected it, and then returned to his calm and unhurried appearance, and said with a smile:

"I can get through the relationship over there, as long as there is no problem on your side."

Seeing this, Lei Luo didn't say anything more, anyway, it didn't matter to him who he teamed up with, as long as his teammates didn't hold him back.

In this joint operation with Orochimaru, Lei Luo also silently looked at the other party's performance:

Although Orochimaru's hard power is lacking, and he always likes to keep one hand in his work, he can obey his own command and carry out orders without hesitation, which still has merit.

Compared with those rigid and sluggish root ninjas, Orochimaru undoubtedly far surpasses that group of people in terms of strength, potential, and IQ.

Lei Luo did not rule out the addition of such a member of Orochimaru in his team, not to mention that the other party also showed "sincerity", so Lei Luo had no reason to refuse.

However, the relationship between the primary and secondary teams must be clarified after the formation of the team, and this must not be ambiguous.

So, Lei Luo was straight about his request.

"Don't worry." Orochimaru smiled, and later said with a little emotion: "Your performance in the mission before, to be honest, did surprise me a little. ”

"I have nothing to complain about handing over the command to you."

The last bit of doubt dissipated, and Relo stepped out of bed, picking up the cloak that had been thrown on the ground, frowning, and draping it over his body.

"Let's go, let's go find Mito Menyan."

"I'd like to see what reward he can give."

After the words fell, Lei Luo walked straight out of the tent.

Orochimaru was about to follow, but unexpectedly, a deep voice suddenly came from behind him:

"Orochimaru, what exactly is your purpose?"

It was Jiraiya, he still didn't get up from the ground, but just maintained a half-lying position, slowly wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth with his palm, his eyes were full of gloom and incomprehension.

This kind of expression is rare in Jiraiya.

Jiraiya is not a fool, even if it was before, he came to his senses after being punched.

Therefore, he quickly realized that the decision that Orochimaru had made today seemed to be different from any previous time.

I can't describe that feeling for a while.

"Huh." Orochimaru chuckled, paused for a moment, turned his head sideways, and looked down at Jiraiya out of the corner of his eye.

The light outside the door shone in, making Orochimaru's figure a little blurred, only the pair of vertical pupils, as if emitting an incomparably dazzling brilliance.

"My goal is simple, to get stronger."

Although the other party only showed the corner of his eye, Jiraiya still read Orochimaru's firm will and determination not to regret it from the change in his expression.

And this made Zilai even more puzzled: "Why? Can following Lei Luo make you stronger? ”

"What's the reasoning?"

Don't learn new ninjutsu, don't do a new round of physical training, and don't even spend energy to enrich your knowledge......

It's a team up with a root ninja who is not easy to mess with at first glance, what is Orochimaru trying to do?

It's hard to understand.

Orochimaru turned his head and was silent for a while, leaving a dark back for Jiraiya.

He didn't bother to explain anything, but replied:

"If you want to gain power, you have to pay a price."

"I just take an opportunity when I see it."

As the words fell, Orochimaru's back gradually faded away, and soon disappeared from Jiraiya's sight.

Jiraiya struggled to get up from the ground, gasped lightly for a moment, and muttered, "Tsunade too, so is Orochimaru, what has happened to you?" ”

You guys...... What the hell are you thinking?

At the end of the day, it's like this every time, and in the end, you're the only one who doesn't understand anything......

Jiraiya smiled bitterly, raised his hand and rubbed the side face that had begun to swell, and kept thinking about the rope tree in his heart.

For the rope tree,,Self also has feelings.,Even if you exclude the identity of Tsunade's younger brother.,The other party's personality is also very much in line with his appetite.。

If Orochimaru wants to team up with Lei Luo, he will inevitably disband his existing team, and all the members of it will also be placed in other squads one after another, which is the usual practice.

Although these two people belong to different "departments" and are extremely strong, it is extremely unlikely that they will be grouped together, because this situation is strictly a "waste of resources".

But there are exceptions to everything, and he also has a gut feeling that Orochimaru can do this, although he doesn't know the connection between Orochimaru and Tuan Zang, let alone the various obscure actions of the higher-ups, but he just feels this way.

In this case, how to arrange the landing of the rope tree has to be considered.

"Why don't you talk to Tsunade again?"
