Chapter 27: Hidden Worries

"Hanzo, long time no see!" Seeing Hanzo walk into the tent, Orochimaru, who was sitting in his seat, said with a smile. It's just that his smile seems to Hanzo to be very infiltrating.

"You arranged it?" Hanzo said this not so much as an inquiry. When he realized that the village's own arrangements had been interfered with by Orochimaru, Hanzo felt very bad and was full of worries about an uncertain future.

"Don't you really want to be stronger? Otherwise, how could he have cultivated so hard and established a relationship with Kakashi, I didn't expect this. ”

Hearing this, Hanzo's face became more and more pale, and at the same time, a wave of anger arose in his heart, which overwhelmed his fear of Orochimaru, "You spy on me!" ”

"That's not true, you didn't have the qualifications to pay attention to me before, Mizuki naturally has to come up with something to reflect his value, but now, I'm a little interested in you, which is why I transferred you." After speaking, the tip of his tongue was exposed, and he licked his lips.

"That bastard, what a two-and-five-boy, I'll kill you if I have a chance." Hanzo cursed in a low voice. Then, Hanzo, who had accepted this reality, looked up at Orochimaru and asked, "What exactly do you want me to do?" ”

"Red Bean, you go back first." Orochimaru didn't say the answer, and said to Red Bean, who had been standing quietly aside since he came in.

"What! Teacher, is there anything I can't hear? Red Bean said coquettishly.

"It's true, obedient, Red Bean." Orochimaru said kindly. The voice sounded gentle to Hanzo, not as cold and gloomy as before. That's right, in Hanzo's opinion, if you think about the entire Hokage, among the people who follow Orochimaru, it seems that Orochimaru really likes only one red bean. Although in Orochimaru's explanation, the red bean was not brought when he defected because he had no ambition, and the erasure of the memory was to prevent the secret from being leaked, but if you look at others, it doesn't mean that you will give it up.

"Hmph, I'm not rare!" Red Bean ran out arrogantly.

"Do you want to be stronger?"

"Of course, don't you already know!"

"I know your teacher is Fukuda, and he only taught you the shadow clone, the water chaos and the broken flow that you gave you recently, and he is still a ninja himself, and to be honest, he can't help you much."

"How do you know that, what else do you know, and what do you mean by that? My relationship with Mr. Fukuda is not something you can shake. Watching his hole cards unfold one by one, Hanzo felt more and more cold, and his fear of Orochimaru was even greater.

"Don't worry, all of this I can know is traceable, and I can easily get the information on your medical ninjutsu, after all, the more people who know, the easier it is to leak, like Kakashi and Oki gave you, I don't know. As for why I'm talking about this, I want to ask if you're willing to accept my advice, Hanzo? ”

Hanzo wanted to refuse Orochimaru's kindness, and although getting his guidance meant that his strength could improve quickly, it also meant that everything about himself was discovered by him, including his hole cards and shortcomings, and it was even more difficult for him to get out of his control.

For Hanzo, all that was needed was Orochimaru's ability to acquire things. Hanzo wanted to use Orochimaru to get some ninjutsu and pillar cells that were difficult for himself and Fukuda to access, as well as some other things. As for Orochimaru itself, Hanzo still respects and is not sensitive.

"You want to take me as an apprentice?" Hanzo deliberately said this, after all, the only ninjutsu that Hokage got from the Orochimaru snake system was Red Bean and Sasuke, and the others were either fools or experiments. Hanzo didn't think there was anything special about him that could make him an apprentice, except for some usefulness, Hanzo felt that there were some things he couldn't guess, and those were the real reasons why Orochimaru wanted to guide him.

"No, I have no intention of taking in apprentices. I know you're ambitious enough, and it's not like I'm able to impress with words, so only profit can really make you do things, and of course fear is okay, but I think it's better to use the former for you, after all, you've got Kakashi involved. I explain it this way, are you still willing to do so? I hope you don't refuse, because I may send you deep into the enemy to do the mission. ”

Hanzo's heart that had just descended lifted again, and his face froze completely. After thinking about it for a long time, Hanzo agreed, forcing himself to put on a smiling face, but the smile was more ugly than crying.

"Anything else?" Hanzo, who agreed to accept Orochimaru's guidance, asked.

"No, you can go back. I'll find time to get to you. Orochimaru, who began to bury his head in work, said casually.

Hanzo turned around and prepared to go back, but after a few steps, the voice of Orochimaru came from his ears again.

"By the way, I forgot to recycle something."

After speaking, Hanzo suddenly felt very nauseous, "vomit"

With a bang, a white snake came out of its mouth, "It's that snake, doesn't Orochimaru need to use this to control me?" ”

Wiping the saliva from the corners of his mouth, he looked back at Orochimaru, looking at his bland appearance, Hanzo didn't ask why after all, and silently calmed down his discomfort and walked out of the tent.

Behind him, the white snake swam onto the table and got into Orochimaru's sleeve.

On the way, it was getting late, perhaps because of the sea, and the sound of the waves could always be heard in my ears. In addition, due to the climate, there is a heavy fog in the morning and evening, similar to the water country on the other side of the sea.

Battles between large powers always make tiny beings involuntarily themselves, as well as small states between large powers. It's like the battle between Konoha and Kirigakure, sometimes at sea and sometimes on the territory of the small country between the two countries, and the country of the Vortex that has perished.

Maybe it's the crankiness that forgets the troubles, or maybe it's the breath of the sea that broadens the mind, Hanzo is not as depressed as when he saw Orochimaru before, and Hanzo, who has abandoned his negative emotions, lies on the bed and thinks about Orochimaru's true intentions.

Orochimaru's words reminded Hanzo that everything is traceable, and if something happens to him, the people who care about him will definitely find out why Orochimaru, who has never met in everyone's eyes, knows and will mobilize his own task arrangement.

Thinking of this, Hanzo finally settled down and no longer worried about being dealt with by Orochimaru one day. As for why Orochimaru had to instruct himself, Hanzo felt that he had time to investigate and prepare his own retreat, after all, Orochimaru would always defect, and he didn't want to leave the positive role.

Hanzo, who was deep in thought, didn't notice that there was a figure somewhere outside the tent that had been stunned for a long time, and had just left.
