Chapter 342: It's really easy to talk to smart people

Remember what Naruto had planned?

That's right......

After "accidentally" revealing to Orochimaru that the black absolute in front of him was very likely to be the only immortal existence known in this world, Orochimaru, who was unsurprisingly aroused by a strong desire for knowledge, naturally took the initiative to step into Naruto's trap step by step. So much so that the whole person's psychological defense line is at the weakest moment since Orochimaru rebelled and fled the village.

"Of course! After all, this piece of information ......"

"But for the sake of you, Grandpa Hokage of the third generation specially asked for it personally from the unkind Gao Leng Patriarch of the Uchiha clan!"

Because of this, Naruto's innocent face and the two words thrown out with a smile undoubtedly pierced Orochimaru's fragile heart defense in an instant. So much so that at the same time that Orochimaru stiffened, even the distorted desire that had the tendency to blind the entire mind dissipated into invisibility in an instant.

"You mean...... Old...... Teacher he ...... Personally went to ask the patriarch of the Uchiha clan? Or is it for me?! ”

Dumbfounded, although his mood was still complicated, but most of the negative emotions subsided Orochimaru, for Naruto's mouth, naturally subconsciously questioned and refuted it.

"No, no, no, no, it can't be...... He's a dignified third-generation Hokage, what's the ...... How could it be...... Do this kind of self-degrading thing! ”

But even so, in Orochimaru's verbal response, he obviously stammered a little, and he looked like he was lacking in confidence, but the truth that his heart was deeply shaken was unreservedly exposed!

After all, although according to Orochimaru's understanding, with the character of the three generations of Hokage, it is absolutely impossible for him to pull down his son and take the initiative to ask for something for the sake of himself, a disciple who has been defined as a traitorous ninja, and it is impossible to have any intersection with the Uchiha clan who clearly has a conflict of interest with the village...... In other words, Orochimaru should have easily shattered this flawed lie at the moment when Naruto's words fell!

But then again......

After meeting Naruto, the little guy who doesn't play cards according to the routine at all, so that accidents are frequent...... Orochimaru unknowingly, for his consistent practice of judging and making decisions according to common sense, he inevitably had some doubts and unconfidence.

Based on this premise, Orochimaru reminded and pondered every word and word that Naruto had spoken during this period, and tried to find evidence of flaws that was enough to make a final decision. But it was like a ghost who made a god, and he became more and more convinced of Naruto's words.

Of course, it's not that most of the big snake pills with IQ offline are so stupid that they can easily believe even these obviously deceptive words...... It's because when Naruto opened his mouth and tried to give Orochimaru advice to stay away from Ju as much as possible and avoid being bewitched and influenced by Ju, he had already premeditated and quietly set up a lot of foreshadowing.

Among them, the first to bear the brunt, and the one that affects Orochimaru's judgment the most, is not what Naruto says from time to time, all the sources of information are from the three generations of Hokage who care about Orochimaru. It's another sentence that comes out of your mouth when you try to give advice.

That's ......

……

"So, Grandpa Miyome Hokage specially instructed me before I came out......"

"If I can meet you on this trip, I will help him convey a word of advice to you......"

……

This sentence, at first glance, seems reasonable, and there is no logical flaw in language. So that Orochimaru didn't immediately realize that something was wrong in the first place......

But now, after Naruto's misguided "truth" of deliberately weakening Orochimaru's vigilance. Just based on Naruto's words, Orochimaru, who had completely penetrated through the fragile heart defense, gradually sensed that something was wrong in his cranky thinking......

Obviously, in the second half of the sentence, Naruto will help the three generations of Hokage convey advice, on the premise that he can meet Orochimaru during his journey......

In other words, while pretending to be innocent, Naruto, whose face naturally responded to Orochimaru, created a natural and misleading atmosphere that the three generations of Hokage had already predicted that Naruto would most likely encounter with Orochimaru in the process of leaving the village! So much so that Orochimaru, who was in a complicated mood, suddenly became more and more biased the more he thought about it.

Among them, the most obvious misleading is the origin of the "Danzo's handwritten order" that Orochimaru has never understood from beginning to end.

If you judge it according to Orochimaru's old impressions and cognitions of Danzang?

Then, after the appearance of this secret order, the all-powerful group will definitely send people to realize it by any means. So much so that even if Orochimaru can recognize it now, he has a deep relationship with Jiraiya, and even Naruto, who is keen to give this too "cowardly" idiot and complete the dream of holding a beautiful woman, it is completely impossible to do something harmful to Jirai. It is even less likely to be used against the assassins of Jiraiya...... But because of this, Orochimaru is always worried that there is someone else to choose the assassin. And in that silent silent bystander, he also divided most of his mind to keep himself vigilant at all times. In order not to notice for a while, there will be any suspicious characters around him, threatening the life and safety of Jiraiya.

Because of this, even if this was an afterthought, Naruto just noticed why Orochimaru was here, and without saying a word, he attacked himself. But when Jiraiya appeared, he immediately reined in all the abnormal appearance of killing intent, and realized that there might be some kind of misunderstanding between himself and Orochimaru. I hurriedly thought about it, and roughly conceived a lie full of flaws...... But the effect it achieved was far beyond Naruto's expectations! And without waiting for Naruto to say anything more, Orochimaru made up for it by himself in his thoughts!

In this way, after such a long period of vigilance, he never saw Tuan Zang's back hand appear. As a result, in Orochimaru's mind, there are only two possibilities left for the "truth" hidden behind the scenes......

Or, after seeing the rare picture of the three ninjas of Konoha meeting in the past, the preparations arranged by Tuan Zang have already solved Jiraiya, and at the same time, they are very likely to offend and provoke Tsunade and Orochimaru, resulting in a clear comparison of the outcome that the gains outweigh the losses, and quietly withdraw them all, giving up this assassination operation.

Or, from the moment Tuan Zang wrote this "handwritten order", he had already expected that Orochimaru, who was worried that Jiraiya's life would be threatened, so that it was impossible to stand idly by, would take the initiative to find Jiraiya according to the guidance of this piece of information. And in the process, unconsciously complete the long-lost picture of Konoha Sannin reuniting!

And this conjecture that is diametrically opposite, but both have the style of acting in the group, has already vaguely emerged in Orochimaru's mind. So much so that after hearing Naruto's words, Orochimaru naturally and without thinking about it, decided that the real situation he was facing must belong to the latter!

You must know that in Orochimaru's cognition, although Jiraiya is unswervingly standing in the faction of the three generations of Hokage, Jiraiya has been quite disgusted by Tuanzang over the years, and he is even regarded by Tuanzang as another thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh that is lurking on his way to becoming the Hokage! But in the final analysis, it is only because of the conflict of interest that the friction and disputes that will be provoked are far from reaching the point where you have to fight to the death!

After all, as the only one in the Konoha Sanninja who still maintains contact with the village...... Over the years, despite being out and about all year round, he has never done anything that harms the interests of the Konoha Ninja Village. It is no exaggeration to say that the seemingly declining Konoha Ninja Village was able to maintain a peaceful atmosphere after the events of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and never suffered from the enemy forces. In addition to the fact that the three generations of Hokage were ordered to return to office and quickly stabilized the situation. With the strength of a shadow-level powerhouse, and his whereabouts wander erratically between countries, so that faintly, like a time bomb, he has become a key figure in restricting the forces of all parties, and it is undoubtedly an indispensable existence!

It is precisely because of this that after the village suffered from the successive exodus of Tsunade and Orochimaru, the suicide of Konoha White Fang Banner Mu Shuomao, and the death of the four generations of Hokage and his wife in the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the only thing that can have a certain deterrent power on the bright side is the old three generations of Hokage, such a situation where high-end combat power is extremely lacking. I can't find a suitable reason at all, and I don't have enough motivation to kill Jiraiya, the only shadow-level powerhouse who cares about Konoha Ninja Village, and do this kind of stupid thing that can be called a self-cutting arm that hurts others and is not beneficial to himself!

Thinking about it like this, combined with Naruto's quiet hint, the words revealed "accidentally" reminded. It dawned on Orochimaru that he immediately realized that the reason why Danzang had taken such pains to set up a game to achieve the goal of luring the snake out of the hole...... It must be because the three generations of Hokage, who still cares about Orochimaru, promised some benefits to Danzang!

And after coming up with this "truth", Orochimaru was like getting the "key" to understand the confusion in happiness, so that from beginning to end, many questions that had always been backlogged and buried deep in the bottom of his heart were suddenly solved and quickly got a reasonable explanation!

For example......

First, even if Orochimaru once had a cooperative relationship with Tuan Zang, he retains a certain pattern of exploration for Tuan Zang's behavior and handling style. But how could the group collection, which had always been cautious, stick to the old rules and follow the old system that had been known to outsiders, and hide the autographed orders that could be called the highest secret?

The answer is obvious, this is Danzo, who had long expected that Orochimaru would take the bait, in order to prevent Orochimaru from not being able to find this key order, and then causing Naruto, who was out of the village, to be unable to touch Orochimaru, he made a deliberate move to release water!

Second, why did the three generations of Hokage, who has always put the village first, frequently make moves for the sake of Orochimaru as if he had changed people?

It's nothing more than the same as Orochimaru's complex emotions about the three generations of Hokage...... In the incident of personally leading his subordinates to raid Orochimaru's secret experimental base and finally expel Orochimaru, the whole process seems to be ruthless and ruthless, and the three generations of Hokage still have a strong master-apprentice relationship with this rebellious disciple who was expelled from the village by his own hands. So much so that under the tempering of the years, instead of gradually fading, it slowly affected the decision of the three generations of Hokage in the more and more obvious guilt and self-blame. and then gave up the bottom-line principle that he had adhered to for most of his life, cared about the current situation of the big snake pill who was away from the village, and tried to make some choices that could make up for and redeem this master-apprentice relationship!

And this master-apprentice ...... In other words, it is the care and love like a father and son family, and it just so happens that when Orochimaru did not hesitate to abandon everything he had to study the forbidden ninjutsu that can obtain an eternal immortal life, in the deepest part of Orochimaru's heart, the instinctive desire that has been hidden to this day is retained!

After all, in the final analysis, the reason why Orochimaru was able to commit such an inhumane and bloody act was that he did not hesitate to let himself gradually fall from the image of a glorious hero from above, and turn into a devil and a madman who was scolded and accused. It's not because, as he looks like, he's selfish and ruthless...... On the contrary, it is because, since he was a child, Orochimaru, who was traumatized by the war, has witnessed too many life and death partings with his own eyes - such as the death of his parents and the death of his disciple Thousand Hands Rope Tree - so that Orochimaru, who has felt the great pain brought by the departure of important partners one after another, has become more and more deeply aware of how vulnerable this fragile life is! will make up his mind that he would rather give up everything he already has, but also research the forbidden ninjutsu that can make people gain eternal immortal life!

Because of this, after Naruto got along with him in close proximity, Naruto was more and more able to conclude that Orochimaru's personality and goals were suddenly distorted and blackened...... It's not so much for himself, but for the sake of better protecting the only remaining partners around him, so as to avoid feeling the pain that goes deep into the bone marrow again!

It's just that the starting point can be regarded as a good one, but it is far underestimated the strong resistance and heavy price hidden on this road. As a result, just a few years have passed, and the once high-spirited hero has degenerated into a demon who kills people without blinking. I even forgot the reason why I chose to conduct research in the first place. So much so that in Orochimaru's mind, there was only a long lifespan left to gain immortality, such a paranoid desire that had long been distorted and deviated from his original intention!

And what Naruto has to do now is to give Orochimaru advice at the same time......

Taking advantage of the fact that the Great Snake Pill has not yet blackened to the point of hopelessness, he tried to use verbal stimulation to awaken the deepest part of the Great Snake Pill's heart, the long-sleeping Qingming! And even Naruto can't guarantee whether he can use this as an opportunity to make the future Konoha destruction plan unable to come as scheduled......

I also have to do my best to avoid that Orochimaru personally killed the teacher, and this sad scene that is obviously contrary to the original intention appears!
