Chapter 340: Secrets

From the moment Orochimaru gave up on delving into the source of information, and instead continued to ask, trying to understand what Naruto said was the reason for being more vigilant than the leader of the Akatsuki organization. Naruto knew that his plan would be considered to be a smooth success. So that while the mood was secretly relaxed, the grasp of the subsequent persuasion plan naturally rose.

"Hmm, let me think about ......"

Of course, even so, Naruto didn't let go easily, and explained it to Orochimaru so straightforwardly. On the contrary, under the foreshadowing of the previous words, he tried to suppress the smile in his heart, and deliberately put on a sad face. While squinting and glancing intentionally or unintentionally, he continued word by word "talking to himself".

"If I say this information, if I say it, will I tell it to the S-class traitors in the village, or to the disciples of the third generation of Hokage's grandfather......"

Obviously, according to Naruto's previous statement...... Then, under the switching and comparison of these two "different" identities, the treatment that can be obtained is naturally a world of difference. So much so that Naruto, who seemed to be talking to himself, invisibly threw a question that was neither heavy nor light at Orochimaru.

That's ...... Orochimaru, who is now asking Naruto, is he standing from the perspective of an S-class rebel who has defected from the village, or is he claiming to be the disciple of the three generations of Hokage who valued and loved him the most in the past years?

Because of this, after a slight pause, Orochimaru's face stiffened slightly, and he immediately realized the pros and cons that existed in this problem.

If you choose the former, you will certainly be able to preserve Orochimaru's cold and withdrawn image and face that she has tried to maintain from beginning to end...... But the consequence of this must be that Naruto will be secretive in his explanation on the grounds that he must not leak the village's confidential information to dangerous traitors. Even directly use false lies to replace the truth behind it. So much so that Orochimaru, who was hung up by Naruto, couldn't satisfy his curiosity and thirst for knowledge at all.

As for the latter......

In addition to being diametrically opposed to the former, let Orochimaru use his arrogant disguise in exchange for the truth to satisfy his curiosity. In a sense, more is equivalent to Naruto trying to make Orochimaru, who has not yet completely fallen into blackening, make a choice to take sides in advance.

After all, just like when Hinata and Fugaku were joking and teasing, they casually promised to marry Hinata to Naruto, and Naruto, who turned back halfway, recorded and preserved without omission...... Naruto, who had tasted the sweetness, decided with deep understanding how wise and necessary it was to carry a recording device with him at all times!

That's why he put his hands in his pockets at the moment when he said this rhetorical question. So much so that for a moment, Naruto, who looked lazy and casual all over the place, quietly turned on the recording device hidden in his pocket under the cover of his pocket. And no matter what Orochimaru's next choice is, which one it is. For the budget-conscious Naruto, it can definitely be regarded as a blood gain!

In other words, it's a blatant trap with almost no concealment. And according to Orochimaru's IQ strategy, it can definitely be easily identified...... But even so, for Orochimaru, he had to bite the bullet and take the initiative to jump down with a helpless face.

Because, as Naruto thought...... Today's Orochimaru is just a high-level ruler who longs for eternal immortality and despises the increasingly corrupt Konoha Ninja Village. But for Jiraiya, the three generations of Hokage, and Tsunade, these existences that have been by their side since childhood, like blood relatives, still inevitably retain deep friendships and bonds. So much so that compared with the original book, the big snake pill who was paranoid to the point of almost madness, and could even kill the master without hesitation. Orochimaru, who has not yet completely blackened to the point of being hopeless, just like Naruto's early intervention to save and retain that innocence and kindness, there is a chance to get rid of his old fate!

"Tsk, is there any point in this question?"

Under the influence of this upright arrogant emotion, Orochimaru had already lost his previous tough and cold momentum when he heard Naruto's abrupt rhetorical question. Instead, for fear that Naruto would see more flaws, he turned his head slightly and staggered Naruto's gaze. After a slight pause, he replied softly.

"In the back of your little one's heart, you already have the answer, don't you?"

"Shhh——! This sounds, why do you always feel that Uncle Snake has become a shy little daughter-in-law who is molested? This must be my delusion, right?! ”

Seeing Orochimaru's obviously relieved hintive answer, Naruto suddenly had goosebumps all over his body under the friendly words that were diametrically opposed to Orochimaru's old image. The smile hidden in my heart is getting stronger and stronger. Then he blinked his eyes, and continued to respond with an innocent face, in order to stimulate Orochimaru, he replied to the answer that was still a little unspeakable, and fanned the flames again.

"Huh? Answer? What's the answer...... Not...... I don't know at all~"

Well, of course......

This is all to record and preserve all the words that Orochimaru said when he admitted it himself. And then take precautions, and use it as a pre-prepared evidence chip to convince Orochimaru to return to the Konoha Ninja Village at some point in the future......

It was definitely not because of Orochimaru's previous teasing and teasing that Naruto experienced the excitement of the ups and downs of life from heaven to hell and then from hell to heaven, so that Naruto tried his best to repay Orochimaru's "kindness" and deliberately took special revenge...... Ahem, a means of repaying the favor!

If you don't believe me, look at Naruto's little eyes...... What an innocent, pure and good boy that——! How could it be possible to do such a retribution? It doesn't exist at all!

"Huh? You stinky little ......."

Naruto seemed to be uninteresting, and his unexpectedly unrelenting questioning appearance made Orochimaru's face appear more and more stiff and embarrassed. Immediately, with Naruto in control, he clenched his fists slightly in anger. He rolled his eyes and gave up wasting his time and doing futile thoughts. Turning to a broken jar, he continued decisively and straightforwardly.

"Of course I'm asking you in the name of Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas of Konoha and the number one disciple of the teacher! You should be satisfied with this answer, right?! ”

However, far beyond Orochimaru's expectations......

In Orochimaru's original vision, it should be quite shameful and unpleasant to admit in front of others that the true thoughts that remain in the bottom of his heart are inconsistent......

But it wasn't until Orochimaru spit out the last syllable in his mouth without stopping that he was stunned...... Although I did feel a little unhappy, but more of it was a sense of relief and satisfaction brought by facing my heart!

And this wonderful feeling has never been felt since the moment Orochimaru left the Konoha Ninja Village—or rather, because of the death of the Thousand Hands Rope Tree, who was a disciple of Orochimaru, and he was completely determined to unscrupulously research the forbidden ninjutsu that can make this extremely fragile life gain eternal immortal sublimation and evolution......

Because of this, after Orochimaru was slightly stunned for a moment, he found out with a smile......

Even the forbidden human experiments of the Great Snake Pill have made a lot of progress......

But in the final analysis, the Great Snake Pill who pursues an eternal and immortal life, and even does not hesitate to transform himself, is still just a human being who can't give up his emotions......

"Hey, satisfied, satisfied, so satisfied!"

At the same time, after receiving the expected answer—or rather, a much more straightforward and decisive response than the expected awkward admission—Naruto finally couldn't hold back a smile from the bottom of his heart. So that the moment he opened his mouth to respond, he was like a profiteer who had succeeded in his scheme, and he laughed at the same time. Even his own weird mouth fetish was subconsciously said. Immediately, he pressed the switch with satisfaction, and recorded and saved every word that Orochimaru said. While glaring at Orochimaru's disgruntled dissatisfaction, he hurriedly restrained his smile when he saw it. He coughed lightly a few times, calming down the smile that was overflowing, and continued word by word.

"Ahem...... Hawkers! Since he is a disciple of the third generation of Hokage's grandfather, then, this matter must be able to be said......"

Between the words, taking advantage of Orochimaru's previous hesitation, the opportunity of the brief silence and distraction allowed Naruto to have more time to refine the half-truths in his heart. And then after calming down his good mood, without waiting for Orochimaru to ask anything, it was like opening a chatterbox, and he took the initiative to talk without hesitation.

"Actually, the reason why Grandpa Hokage, the third generation, thinks that the most worthy of vigilance in the Akatsuki organization is because of a legend with a high degree of credibility......"

"Legends?"

Naruto accepted it when he saw it, and took the initiative to respond to the choice just right, which made Orochimaru a little annoyed in his heart, but he didn't really care about Naruto, a "child". And then while reining in his mind, he tried to remedy and redeem his image that was gradually detached from the word Gao Leng as much as possible. While under Naruto's unabashed and straightforward words, almost at the moment when Naruto's words fell, he realized something. Then he raised his eyebrows slightly, then spoke straight and continued to ask.

"The legend...... I think it's the information you said earlier, the teacher got from the Uchiha clan, right? ”

"That's right, that's it...... Well...... Or, to be more precise, it's not a legend anymore. ”

Nodding slightly, he was already trying to give Orochimaru a little warning in this half-truth. In order for Orochimaru to be as vigilant as possible, it is because of the demagogic influence of the Jeru, or rather, the Black Jedi, who is the third son of Kaguyahime, Otsuki. So Naruto's inquiry about Orochimaru, but he didn't hide anything in a roundabout way. Then the smile on his face gradually converged, making the whole person's image look a lot more serious and serious, and at the same time, he continued in a firm tone.

"After all, this is an ancient secret engraved on a stone tablet that has been passed down from generation to generation since ancient times! In other words, what remains on this slate is a rough record of the real history that has happened! ”

At the same time, of course......

Because Naruto's own words, in a sense, are indeed not lies—after all, this slate does exist among the Uchiha clan. The content originally burned was indeed a record of the real deeds that happened in the era of the Six Dao Immortals. It's just that back in the era of Madara Uchiha, these extremely precious contents had already been completely rewritten and destroyed by the quiet tampering of the black Jedi. made Naruto naturally appear righteous and clear of conscience in his conversation. And under the quiet identification and pondering of Orochimaru, a lot of points were quietly added to the credibility of these words......

"Huh——? The secrets of antiquity? That's kind of interesting...... I really can't imagine that with the appearance of no combat effectiveness, it can still keep up with the history of ancient times and involve a certain connection. ”

It is precisely because of this that Orochimaru squinted his eyes and stared at him, and he was never able to detect the slightest weakness and flaw from Naruto's body, so he subconsciously trusted the words spoken by Naruto. But in his mouth, he didn't know if it was out of his usual cautious psychology, or the residual arrogance in his heart, and his heart was unusual, as if he was sneering at Naruto, he raised his eyebrows and hummed softly.

"Why, you little fellow, are you trying to tell me...... That guy is actually an old monster that has been born in the world since ancient times and has survived to this day, right? That's the funniest laugh I've ever heard......"

However, Orochimaru subconsciously said less than half of the jokes that came to his lips. It was as if someone had choked his throat, and he couldn't say half a word anymore......

Because, under the gaze of his gaze......

Naruto didn't show the slightest embarrassment because of his sneering words......

Instead, he acquiesced to Orochimaru's words, blinked his eyes, pretended to be harmless to humans and animals, and nodded slightly at Orochimaru......

“…… Hey, just kidding, there's no way I'm going to get it right......"

In this case, Orochimaru, who suddenly realized what was the truth, couldn't help but stiffen his body again. And while secretly swallowing his saliva, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he was talking to Naruto, and continued to whisper as if he was talking to himself.

“…… I just said that...... It's just a casual remark?! ”
