"Tsk, I'm actually going to be tricked by this kind of trick...... Shame, a lifetime of shame......"

In a hurry, facing this ending that could be called a waste of all his previous efforts, Naruto suddenly felt quite annoyed and remorseful. Immediately, he silently wept with grief and indignation in his heart, while trying to move his facial muscles so that the expression on his face could be kept as natural as possible. While under the playful gaze of the person behind him, he turned his head to the side little by little. And while smiling all over his face, he knew that the chance of success was zero, but he still laughed and flattered him.

"Uh...... Ha...... Ha ha...... That...... That one...... Orochimaru-sama, you just didn't hear what you said, but ...... it? ”

At the same time, even though Naruto's gaze slowly shifted, he hadn't yet seen Orochimaru's form...... But even if he thought about it with his toes, Naruto could easily guess that Orochimaru's face at this moment must be full of a smug smile that was planned.

After all, just like Naruto deliberately avoided all topics related to the Akatsuki organization in order to avoid attracting unwanted attention...... Since the moment Orochimaru appeared, he has never revealed it to Naruto and the others, and now he has become a member of the Akatsuki organization. Even the weird costume with red auspicious clouds on a black background on his body was only regarded as a personal customization, and he did not mention it in the process of getting along naturally. So much so that according to normal thinking, no one should have imagined that this would be the uniform of a certain organization!

There is a saying that no one is perfect...... In this case, Naruto's distraction caused Naruto's vigilance to be greatly relaxed, and it was inevitable that he accidentally leaked some tone during this conversation. So much so that in Jiraiya's hands, the Spiral Pill had just had a tendency to condense and form, so he subconsciously and accurately called out the name of "Spiral Pill", the move name of the four generations of Hokage's self-created ninjutsu!

It is precisely because of this that after a little reflection, Orochimaru suddenly realized that when Naruto first struck, the strange move with powerful destructive power he launched was so consistent with the characteristics of Spiral Pill! And then compared with each other, the big snake pill who has personally experienced the power of the spiral pill can be 100% sure that the little guy in front of him has definitely mastered the Spiral Pill, which is defined as an A-level Muji ninjutsu!

Sealing Technique, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Shadow Clone Shuriken Technique, Spiral Pill, and Immortal Mode, although it has not yet had time to be perfected, but already has a certain amount of actual combat ability...... Each of these abilities that has been demonstrated is definitely enough for people to study and use for a lifetime. So much so that if you guess according to conventional thinking, let alone a child of Naruto's age, even if you change to an experienced middle ninja, or even a top ninja in person, there is absolutely no guarantee that you will be able to master all these abilities that Naruto has without missing any omission! Not to mention when thinking about the whole process of fighting Naruto. Just as Orochimaru was aware that Naruto may have a connection with the three generations of Hokage and Jiraiya, and deliberately hid a bit of strength. The more and more discords and wrongness that came to his mind made Orochimaru more and more convinced that the little guy in front of him who almost died probably also hid a lot of strength!

There are so many unexpected conjectures, so that Naruto, who seems to be fragile and fragile in front of him, but is actually like a scheming adult, who has no last resort, Orochimaru, who has always had a certain curiosity, suddenly became more and more curious about Naruto's true strength and details. And in the first time after Jiraiya and Tsunade left, they had already premeditated and set an extremely simple test trap for Naruto......

That is, when the "well-intentioned" "warning" is issued, part of the information is withheld as if nothing happened. So much so that between the lines, it was only mentioned to Naruto that it was someone from the organization. But it was not explicitly stated that the name of this organization was Xiao.

Because of this, Naruto's sudden change of vigilance, as well as his defensive posture like facing a great enemy, and many obvious characteristics made Orochimaru 100% sure - the little guy in front of him, who didn't seem to be threatening, was already aware of the Xiao organization that was still in the latent period! Even under the inexplicable premonition in the dark, Orochimaru always had such an intuition......

Regarding the behind-the-scenes truth of Xiao, a nascent organization with mysterious actions, the little guy in front of him may have a more thorough and clear understanding than himself, a genuine member of Xiao's organization!

In other words, if Orochimaru's conjecture and hunch are indeed true......

Then, according to normal circumstances, he is already a member of the Akatsuki organization, and under this vague intuitive conjecture, Orochimaru, who believes that Naruto already knows about the existence of the Akatsuki organization, must eliminate this potential threat in the cradle as soon as possible! So much so that Naruto, who knew that the truth was exposed, suddenly responded to Orochimaru with a rather weak heart while facing Orochimaru, who had been defined as a neutral and friendly character, and at the same time, he developed a sense of chagrin and remorse that wanted to cry without tears.

But fortunately, just as Naruto underestimated the deep bond between Jiraiya and Orochimaru, as well as the impact changes brought about by the advance of the timeline...... Naruto, who was nervous in his heart, overestimated how loyal Orochimaru was to the Akatsuki organization.

You must know that because the overall style of the Xiao organization is too loose and free--all the activities of the members in private are not subject to the restriction and interference of the organization, except for specific action tasks, there is not much intersection between the members of the Xiao organization. So much so that to a certain extent, including Orochimaru, these are the traitors who are on the list of countries and the Xiao organization, and the subordinate relationship between them is not so much an oath of allegiance. Rather, it's more like a cooperative relationship between each taking what they need and benefiting each other - the Xiao Organization provides shelter and shelter for its members, and the members who join it are just a cooperative relationship for the Xiao Organization's future tailed beast capture plan, constantly carrying out hiring tasks, and silently accumulating financial reserves.

And the premise of this strange relationship has led to the fact that among the members of the Xiao organization, the degree of loyalty to the Xiao organization is completely negligible...... Even if it is a real loyal dog, in the true sense, the object of allegiance from beginning to end is only Uchiha Obito who pretends to be Madara Uchiha, not the Xiao organization! Not to mention Orochimaru himself, the reason why he joined the Jinxiao organization was because he coveted the powerful power of Payne's reincarnation eye, that is, Uzumaki Nagato, and only then did he agree to join the gang with a ghostly heart. And in the original plot, he is still the only traitor who rebelled and fled among the members of the Xiao organization!

What's more, Orochimaru at this moment is not so much one of the villain bosses that Naruto needs to face? It's more like a tsundere child whose ideas are not accepted and understood by parents, resulting in a fit of anger and choosing to run away from home. So much so that after learning that Naruto was in him, he pinned the care and hope of Jiraiya and others. It is inevitable that from this talented little guy, I think of myself who was once high-spirited. And then love the house and the black, for Naruto, who thinks about himself everywhere, suddenly the more he looks at it, the more pleasing it becomes.

In other words, in the heart of Orochimaru, who is currently in this timeline, since there is no concern for the Xiao organization. And it has been clearly concluded that behind Naruto, there is the fact that Jiraiya and the three generations of Hokage support and support...... Then, before he had time to change as cold-blooded and ruthless as in the original book, it was even more impossible for Akatsuki to do such a stupid thing as killing Naruto for the sake of Xiao Organization, a dispensable existence in his heart, and turning against Jiraiya and others! Even at the same time, he made up his mind that even if he returned to the Akatsuki organization, he would not mention even a word to the rest of the Akatsuki organization about all the information about Naruto! And then ensure that after Naruto appeared from Orochimaru, he was always worried about the crisis that attracted the attention of the Akatsuki organization, and under the cover and protection of Orochimaru's intentional favoritism, it was actually a worrying existence at all.

Well...... In a sense, it's like Naruto's shadow clone tried to convince Ninji in advance before this, but unexpectedly failed......

All these uncertain factors are the fault of the hour!

Of course, it won't harm Naruto, but it doesn't mean that Orochimaru won't play Naruto's ......

After all, in the previous fight, Naruto's strength was underestimated too much, resulting in a series of deflated and a big blow to his image. Even in the case that Naruto didn't expect, Naruto used the Kusanagi sword to accidentally explode the chrysanthemum Orochimaru, which was quite "intimate", which can be said to be quite impressive for Naruto, a little guy who does not play according to the routine. So that if you can have the opportunity to see this little guy's frightened gaffe and deflated appearance, why not do it for Orochimaru, who is quite "grudgeful"?

"Oh? What you just said? What words? ”

Thinking of this, a smile of planning appeared on Orochimaru's face, which had already been planned. The chill that swelled up in Naruto's heart became more and more intense, so much so that he went deep into his bone marrow, and while holding his arm and elbow with one hand, he pretended to be trying to remember, and tapped his brow with the fingers of his other hand. While under Naruto's nervous gaze, he teased and joked word by word.

"Oh yes oh ...... As soon as this person gets older, his memory and reaction are a little dull and faded...... If you don't say it yourself, how do I know, you little one, what you want me to forget? ”

"Magic ...... Devil, this is, and I have to say it myself...... Deliberately...... Orochimaru, this guy, must have done it on purpose! ”

The treacherous aura of déjà vu permeated the person in front of him, which made Naruto, who felt powerless, suddenly twitch violently at the corners of his mouth. And then without knowing the true thoughts in Orochimaru's heart, while crying and complaining secretly in his heart without tears, he raised his hand and scratched his head stiffly. Immediately, in the case of this man being slaughtered by others for the sake of swords and fish and meat, Naruto, who had no bargaining chips to speak of, could only completely give up the useless thoughts of lying and struggling, and instead stubbornly followed Orochimaru's instructions and responded obediently.

"Ahem...... Only...... It is...... About that...... The ...... of the Akatsuki Organization

And this embarrassing scene at the moment was just like Naruto had thought before......

Talking to smart people, at some point, does save a lot of things......

But Naruto forgot about it after all......

Dealing with smart people, the possibility of capsizing in the gutter, so that the dumb person eats the yellow lotus, and there is an unspeakable grievance situation, which will skyrocket a lot!

……

At the same time, just as Naruto was in an awkward dilemma because of Orochimaru's small wordplay trap, he could only let Orochimaru play tricks......

On the other hand, under Naruto's deliberate arrangement, what about Jiraiya, who quickly broke away from everyone's gaze and ran away, trying to escape the "self-defeating" behavior of proposing to Tsunade in public?

……

In order to facilitate the "collection of materials", and for this small village, a certain amount of exploration and survey was carried out in advance, so that Zilai was also blind and unscrupulous in the process of escaping. And then, in accordance with the strong desire to survive in his heart, the escape route that quickly emerged and perfected, turned around and ran into an inconspicuous alley, and hid his body. I don't know if it's a weak heart or shyness, which caused the little heart to pound, so he raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead at the same time, while looking left and right to confirm the situation of the "chasing soldiers", he relaxed a little, and paused, just leaned against the wall, as if prostration, and sat down with a big grin.

"Whew...... Call...... All...... After running so far and not moving at all, Naruto's stinky boy shouldn't be chasing ...... Catch up......"

Under the all-out running in a short period of time, the amazing speed that erupted made Jilai consume a lot of energy. So much so that as soon as Jiraiya sat on the ground, he didn't know if it was because he was too weak and worried, or because he was really tired, and he gasped violently. Immediately, after spending a long time and suppressing all his complex emotions, he took a long breath of relaxation, and subconsciously laughed at himself with palpitations.

"Whew...... Hmph, what are you kidding, confessing to Tsunade in public? Do you think I've lived enough, and you want me to die sooner?! Fortunately, Lao Tzu was witty, and the first time he heard that sentence, he thought of a way out, otherwise I would have to be ...... by Tsunade."

However, the complaints on the lips are only halfway there. It was as if someone had choked his throat, and he was stunned and couldn't say half a word anymore......

Because, in the self-inadvertently looking up...... A pretty figure with a slightly red face and red ears was standing on the wall behind Jiraiya at a ninety degree angle to the ground. So much so that Jiraiya moved his gaze, and it was a coincidence that he happened to be intertwined with people's eyes.

And the identity of this pretty person is obviously a familiar existence for Jiraiya......

That is the "heroine" who quietly followed closely behind her after Jiraiya fled far away-Senju Tsunade!
