Originally, when he saw Naruto throw a punch, he recklessly carried out a suicide-like freefall movement. Because of Naruto's every move, the inextricable relationship between him and the three generations of Hokage and Jiraiya made Orochimaru, who was worried in his heart, not care about anger at all when he was sent to the sky. Instead, he subconsciously adjusted his posture and used some basic wind escape ninjutsu as a propulsion force to forcibly change direction in the air. While moving in the direction of Naruto's fall, he chased after him, hoping to save the life of this "self-killed" little guy before Naruto actually fell to the ground.

Because of this, after witnessing the appearance of Jiraiya, he saved Naruto's life without danger, and used this as ironclad evidence to prove that Naruto did not belong to a member of the root organization of Danzang [hmm...... In a sense, Naruto really didn't belong to the Root Organization. Because the current root organization is the queen that belongs to Naruto. While making Orochimaru secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, because of the previous acceleration effect, Orochimaru was able to land quietly and lightly shortly after Naruto landed. And then standing behind Jiraiya, who was observant of Naruto's injuries and had ignored Orochimaru's existence, silently watched and watched the exchange between the old and the young.

"No wonder this little guy would suddenly choose such an extreme action...... It turns out that this idiot has already arrived nearby? Isn't he worried that this idiot won't have time to save him? ”

Between Naruto and Jiraiya, the strong grandfather and grandson relationship that did not seem to be fake made the rich killing intent in Orochimaru's heart gradually dissipate. Then his brows were slightly raised, and he held his arms with both hands, silently watching from the sidelines. While his thoughts were racing, he was secretly thinking and speculating in his heart.

"However, if you look at it this way, this little guy is really facing the teacher's ...... But if that's the case, how to explain the handwritten letter from Tuanzang? Or am I misleading something? ”

After confirming that Naruto was not his own enemy in a sense, Orochimaru was able to concentrate most of his attention. Immediately, in the process of serious and careful recollection, although it was only a short moment, in the perception of the Great Snake Pill, it was indeed in the vicinity of Jiraiya, and the existence of the Yakushidou was detected...... Then, ordering the pharmacist to change the task and travel thousands of miles to "monitor" the content of Jiraiya's "Tuanzang's handwritten handwriting" is indeed true, not a trap plot deliberately thrown by Tuanzang.

Because of this, in Orochimaru's opinion, although for a while, he still couldn't understand what the reason for the sudden departure of the nine-tailed human pillar force from the village was. But seeing it with his own eyes, since he was able to determine from the rapport between Naruto and Jiraiya, Naruto was not a humanoid weapon used to assassinate Jiraiya in his own expected conjecture. So, can it be regarded as a ...... Tuan Zang's killer move, in fact, there are other people?

In other words...... Is the life of this idiot still in danger...... Tsk, we've already met anyway, so I'm not going to beat around the bush and warn this idiot directly. ”

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's brows subconsciously wrinkled together again. Immediately, he used the reason that a good person would do it to the end and send the Buddha to the west to give himself a reason to speak. He tilted his head a little, ready to warn Jiraiya bluntly.

"Tap ......"

However, before Orochimaru could say the words that came to his mouth, a few words that suddenly came into his ears were full of snarling, which made Orochimaru change his hard-won decision with a slight stiffness.

"I want to see which guy is tired of eating the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dares to bully you kid...... Hmph, as long as you know who it is, and you haven't gone far......"

He didn't notice the schadenfrefreude in Naruto's eyes. So much so that he didn't realize that he was about to "die", and his desire to survive was obviously completely offline. And then in front of Orochimaru, a "greasy guy", while beating his chest, he boasted confidently about Haikou.

"If I hadn't beaten that guy who killed himself so much that his parents couldn't recognize him, I wouldn't have called him self-come!"

"Uh-oh! Grandpa is super - cool! ”

Out of the corner of his eye, when he glanced at the figure of Orochimaru, who was standing behind Jiraiya, although his killing intent was gone, his face was getting more and more ugly, Naruto almost couldn't help but laugh directly. Then he tried to hold back his laughter, and his little face trembled slightly unnaturally and twitched. While adjusting his tone a little to make his words sound as normal and smooth as possible, he turned the conversation and deliberately teased word by word.

"But, Grandpa Jiraiya...... I'm still a little worried, you don't dare to hit him......"

"Hey, that's, I...... Ha? What did you say? I don't dare to fight?! ”

In Naruto's milky and milky deliberate praise and praise, Jiraiya, whose elders' desire to protect was greatly satisfied, suddenly became more and more proud. So much so that he was about to open his mouth to boast, but when he heard Naruto's suddenly changed teasing words, he immediately became unhappy. Then he blew his beard and glared at him, and snorted angrily in response.

"Humph! Are you kidding! I don't know what to say, and I am also one of the three ninjas of Konoha in the past, a dignified Miaomu Mountain Toad Immortal! Listen, Naruto, I think at the beginning, I was a monster of the level of Sanshoyu Hanzo, and I dared to face it head-on! In such an inconspicuous small village, how can there be a guy I dare not fight!? ”

"Huh? Sansho fish Hanzo? Is that the strong man who is called a demigod in the ninja world? ”

Seeing Orochimaru's figure trembling slightly, he began to approach slowly, which made Naruto suddenly distracted. Immediately, he pretended to be puzzled and responded, and his perception quietly locked on Orochimaru. And then from Orochimaru's every move, he didn't feel the slightest malice. Fang only realized something, and while blinking his eyes, he inexplicably reached a consensus with the big snake pill who had been fighting with him to the death before. On the one hand, because of the gloating smile in his eyes, it was so strong that it was difficult to suppress it, and he had to bow his head a little. In this way, he pretends to be a broken thought, to hide his own strangeness.

"But how did I hear that...... When you first fought against Sanshoyu Hanzo, Grandpa Jiraiya was three against one, and you lost in the end......? ”

"Poof——! cough cough cough ...... That...... That's because we're too young! The strength has not yet grown! If I fight again, I won't lose to that guy! ”

The old bottom was exposed by Naruto, which made the triumphant Jiraiya suddenly blush. Then his face turned slightly red, and he smiled stiffly, trying to change the topic while trying to defend and refute.

"And, even if you lose? In that combat power, I was definitely the most dazzling main force...... No, what are you kid doing with all this? Don't beat around the bush, let's talk about it, who the hell beat you like this? ”

"Oh? Is that so......? ”

As soon as Jiraiya's words fell, Naruto deliberately lengthened his nasal voice a little, showing a look of doubt and disbelief. Immediately, in the corner of his eye, he glanced at Orochimaru and saw that Orochimaru was getting closer and closer, and the distance between him and Jiraiya was only one position, and he nodded slightly to Naruto. The corners of Fang Cai's mouth gradually rose, revealing a playful smile, and he continued pretending to be serious.

"Hmm...... Forget it, Grandpa Jiraiya. ”

"Forget it? How could this thing that almost killed you just like that! If you don't dismantle that kind of guy, I can't take this breath! ”

On Naruto's little face, the strange and familiar expression that gradually emerged - exactly the same as the expression that Naruto had when he "slandered" Jiraiya when he peeped into the women's bathhouse in order to divert the attention of the villagers after entering the tailed beast transformation in the village, made Jiraiya vaguely detect a hint of conspiracy. But after boasting about Haikou, if you really stop here, I am afraid that the glorious and reliable image of the elders will plummet. So much so that Jiraiya could only pray silently, for the sake of saving Naruto's life before, Naruto should not play any jokes with himself. While swallowing his saliva, he continued to speak recklessly in front of the growing uneasiness in his heart.

"Say...... Wait a minute, don't make any noise, let's get serious...... Go ahead! Tell grandpa who did it...... Didn't you say wait a minute! ”

However, before Jiraiya finished speaking, a strange and familiar shoulder patter interrupted Jiraiya's words one after another. Then he frowned slightly, and looked sideways impatiently while following the source of his strength. Driven by this sense of familiarity, the ghost said casually.

"What are you in a hurry, Orochimaru! You let me finish talking...... No way! Orochimaru?! When were you here! ”

It was at this time that Jiraiya, whose desire to survive was completely offline, was stunned and found the big snake pill that had been standing behind him for a long time. Immediately, from the extremely "kind" smile on Orochimaru's face, he instantly realized that the "culprit" who had made Naruto vomit and almost died on the spot was this best friend who had rarely seen him for many years. And then thought of the words that Fang had just been arrogant and confided in recklessly. Jiraiya, who was weak-hearted, suddenly felt like he had eaten something he shouldn't eat, and his whole face wrinkled sadly.

"I just heard someone say that they wanted to beat me all over the ground to find my teeth, so that my parents couldn't recognize me? Moreover, in this world, there is no one you dare not fight? Uh-huh? ”

Seeing that Jiraiya was like two people, and after instantly subduing his deflated appearance, the unhappiness in Orochimaru's heart quietly dissipated a lot. But he didn't intend to let Jiraiya go, and instead frowned slightly, while retracting his palm from Jiraiya's shoulder, returning to his usual posture of holding his arms with both hands. While his lips were slightly open and closed, he continued with a blank face in that unique hoarse and deep voice.

"It seems that you have only been working hard for a few years, and you have grown a lot of ability? Self-......"

Obviously, as Naruto thought...... Because of the advance of the timeline, the relationship between Orochimaru, who has not yet started to implement the Konoha Honkai plan, and Jiraiya is not in a tense state. On the contrary, it was because Jiraiya, like Naruto chasing Sasuke, persevered in trying to persuade Orochimaru to return to the village, so that the bond between the two was not only intact. It is even more faint, as if the truth is seen in adversity, it can be said that it is more solid and stable than before Orochimaru was expelled from Konoha!

It is precisely because of this that Orochimaru saw the unscrupulous grandson love shown between Naruto and Jiraiya. Not only did he immediately let go of his obsession with Naruto. In the eye contact with Naruto, he quietly transformed from a rival who fought to the death to a comrade-in-arms who joined forces with Jiraiya!

And for this, it is estimated that even if he wants to break his head, he will not be able to guess it no matter what......

"Uh...... This...... I...... Well...... That one...... I mean......"

I don't know anything about the fact that Naruto and Orochimaru quietly chose to join forces with each other. made Jiraiya suddenly seem caught off guard when faced with Orochimaru's cold rhetorical question without joy or sorrow. And then he was even more angry, because of the corner of his eye, after seeing Naruto's gloating appearance covering his mouth and snickering. Then he raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at Naruto. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he scolded with an angry smile.

"Wow, I should have thought of that...... Naruto! It's you stinky boy scheming on me again, aren't you?! ”

"Hmm...... Poofha! Calculate? When did I calculate you? Grandpa Jiraiya~"

Seeing the essence of schadenfreude has been exposed. Naruto, who was already flushed with laughter because he was trying to hold back his laughter, didn't plan to continue to hide it. When he subconsciously laughed, he tilted his head slightly. While raising his hand to wipe away the tears from the laughter at the corners of his eyes, he blinked his eyes, pretending to be innocent and teasing.

"Obviously, I told you, you don't dare to fight this person, forget it...... In the end, it has always been Grandpa Zilai, you insist on it, how can you blame me? ”

"You...... I ......"

Naruto's undisguised schadenfreude made the look on Jiraiya's face even more vigorous. But for a while, Jiraiya, who "reaped the consequences of his own evil", really couldn't find a reason to refute Naruto's words. So much so that after holding it for a long time, I had to refute it dryly.

"You're using strong words!"

"What a strong argument, I'm just stating the facts!"

After exchanging a smile with Orochimaru, Naruto was able to put his mind at ease for a while, and he didn't have to worry about being remembered by Orochimaru in a short period of time. Then he paused for a moment, pretending to remember suddenly. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a devilish smile. While pausing word by word, he pretended to be serious and teased and asked.

"Ahh That's right! Grandpa Jiraiya, I seem to remember, you said it before...... If you don't beat the big snake pill, you won't be called Zilai~"

“……！”

"So, are you going to start fighting now, or are you going to change your name ......? If you change the name, well, I think...... You can change it to tap water~"

“…… Hit you big-headed ghost! Wait...... What's the weird name for tap water!? Don't take matters into your own hands! ”
