A few days later, inside a seemingly ordinary country house on the outskirts of Konoha Village.

The furnishings of the house are so simple that it looks like a rest stop for hunters to spend the night in the woods.

The door to the room suddenly opened, and a masked root ninja stood in the doorway, and then gently kicked the floor a few times from side to side.

After a while, the dusty floor suddenly made a slight noise, and a wooden board was opened from below, and a small girl's hand was stretched out.

The girl reached out of the floor with her hands, then looked up at the looker warily before leaping out with her hands on the ground.

Her lilac half-length hair was simply tied back and she was dressed in a light brown shortdress.

After standing firm, she quickly said to the secret door on the floor:

"Safety, is the root of the people."

A big snake pill with long black hair and a pale complexion also jumped out of the secret door, and he nodded lightly:

"Red Bean, today's experiment is here for the time being, you can go back."

The girl named Mitarai Red Bean did not leave, she looked up at her teacher with her head down, and scratched her head in embarrassment.

Orochimaru seemed to have anticipated this a long time ago, and smiled and took out a few bills from his body and handed them to his disciple:

"Take it, you've been experimenting with me lately, and you don't have any task pay to buy snacks, right?"

Hongdou took the banknote, raised her head and looked at her teacher with a smile, recalling the scene when she first met him a few years ago:

That was the first time she had set foot on the battlefield, the battlefield of Konoha and Sand Hidden Village......

—————— memories to kill the ————————

The three-person team, who had just been promoted to the rank of middle ninja, encountered a battle between the Sand Ninja and the Konoha Ninja during the first mission, and two of her companions were killed on the spot.

And she, at the end of the battle, was holding a Rattlesnake of the Land of Wind that had been raised by the sand shinobi as a poisonous secret weapon in one hand, and the kunai in the other hand pierced the throat of the viper's owner.

A hoarse voice came from behind her, with appreciation:

"Aren't you afraid of snakes?"

"Don't be afraid! I used to catch it around Konoha and grill it! ”

The faces of several Konoha ninjas on the side turned green......

"Orochimaru-sama, she's still young...... Please forgive me! ”

She turned her head, and the skinny man in the green shinobi uniform looked at her with a smile and waved at her companions.

"It's okay......

So, since you are not afraid of snakes, are you willing to become my disciple? ”

———— the dividing line at the end of the memory kill————————

"You can rest from tomorrow until we are done at the wedding of the Wave Peak Watergate, and our experiments will continue."

Red Bean smirked and nodded at the teacher, and ran away like a bear child who had just finished school without looking at the ninja at the root.

After the root ninja watched the girl leave, he said to Orochimaru in a respectful tone:

"My lord, the head of the traitorous Shinobu has been brought back by Tsunade Hime.

Danzo-sama asked me to ask you to preside over the autopsy. ”

Orochimaru nodded unexpectedly and walked out the door, followed by the Root Ninja.

Ten minutes later, in the dissection room hidden deep in Konoha beneath, Orochimaru was wearing a white apron and rubber gloves for himself.

"Did you get any information about the secret art of the Zhongshan family?"

"That's why Lord Danzo asked you to preside over it.

Zhongshan Feng used the heart turning technique, but found that ......"

A woman of medium stature and ordinary appearance, with a pair of black glasses, stood across from the dissecting table, holding a bound notebook in both hands ready to record.

At this time, Orochimaru had already placed the head of Beryuhu, who had a frozen expression of pain on his face, on the operating table.

"Just say it straight, I'll dissect it soon anyway."

“…… His brain was invaded by a special chakra and tissue, and all memory sources were destroyed. ”

After hearing this, Orochimaru picked up the tools without saying a word and began to dissect.

As the dissection deepened step by step, the vertical pupils of Orochimaru's eyes revealed a curious expression.

"Interesting! …… Unexpectedly, it coincides with our previous experimental goals! ”

The tools were tossed aside by him, and his hands peeked through the chakra scalpel, no longer cautiously, but with a bold slash to split the already shattered brain in the skull.

"Tweezers! Fast! ”

Taking the tool, he pulled out a withered dendritic plant residue directly from the cranial cavity.

"This turned out to be! A real wooden escape! ”

At the same time, in the Hokage's office, Sarutobi clutched his desk with both hands, and looked at Tsunade standing opposite in disbelief.

"What do you say? Mu Dun?! ”

Tsunade nodded solemnly, and as soon as she returned to the village, she handed over the head of Beryuhu to the dark department, and then went directly to the teacher's office to tell her story about her experience that day:

The mysterious man turned around, and the position of the eyes of the three-hooked jade mask on his head revealed a playful gaze:

"And what do you call me?

It's not too much to shout Grandpa Madara. ”

He was responded with an astonishing punch that struck him directly into his mask, well, that punch was solid, and our book might be finished.

Tsunade's angry blow of the monster punch went directly through the mysterious man's head, her expression changed, and she immediately raised her legs:

"Heaven Guard!"

Tsunade, who retreated and assumed a defensive stance, watched the rubble and dust pass through the mysterious man's body as well, but he slowly walked out of the mess behind him, waved his hands and said:

"Your temper isn't quite like Tsuruma, has you inherited Mito?"

"Damn! You guy, do you really think I'm going to believe you're Madara Uchiha?! ”

"Well, well! Believe it or not, but ah......"

The mysterious man suddenly pointed to the potted plant on the ground, and then plucked out his ear:

"I did you a favor, didn't I?

I have to pay something, otherwise it won't be too cold for my old man's heart. ”

“…… What do you want? ”

A drop of cold sweat flowed from Tsunade's sideburns, and the strange ability of the guy in front of her, who called herself Madara Uchiha, made her body attack completely useless......

"The jar you're carrying behind you looks funny."

……

"So...... You used half a jar of mead in exchange for the head of the rebellious and the secret scroll on his body?! ”

Sarutobi looked at Tsunade with a "you're kidding me" expression, and the latter also had a constipated expression and nodded with difficulty.

Hizai took a puff of his cigarette and fell into deep contemplation:

The mysterious man who calls himself Madara Uchiha appears, and it sounds like the same person who rescued Maite Dai during the last Kiristinja invasion......

He is known to possess kaleidoscope writing wheel eyes, mysterious space ninjutsu; Now there is the ability to ignore enemy attacks......

And, the first generation of adults' wooden escape......

Hizai rubbed his temples, and the more he thought about it, the more his brain hurt.

"It's tricky, and at the moment we don't think there's much we can do with him......

But at least this sudden spot doesn't seem to be hostile to Konoha anymore. ”

Once we accept this setting, it feels like we have been given an SSR for nothing, so emotional!

"Old man! He's Madara Uchiha! ”

Tsunade clenched her fists in both hands, she hadn't forgotten the cause of her grandfather's death......

There was a knock on the office door.

"Come in!"

After a dark part entered the house, he looked at the three generations of adults, and spoke at his signal:

"We went to investigate the place where the second lord sealed Madara Uchiha's body.

It was found that ...... The seal was empty. ”

Hizai looked through the window at the first avatar on the Hokage Cliff.

Tsuruma-sensei, your old rival has reappeared in the ninja world, is it a blessing or a curse?!

At sunset, Tsunade walked out of the Hokage Building with a stomach full of depression and anxiety, and then ......

"Yo, beautiful princess! Let's go for a drink and reminisce about our youth? ”

A tall figure blocked her way, his hands in his trouser pockets, a white hair deliberately flicked, a narcissistic smile on his side, and a rose in his mouth......

"Bell!"

Tsunade smiled and rubbed her wrist, and when this punch went down, she suddenly felt that her thoughts had been reached, and she walked in front of her with the wine jar that was already half light.

"Wait for me, I haven't seen you for so long, you're still the same violent!"

Behind him, the person with the jujube on his head also trotted to follow.

On the other side, Orochimaru walked out of the passage at the root, followed by the pharmacist Nonoyu, who had just recorded the experiment.

"It's so late, do you want to continue experimenting?"

"Today is an exception, old friends are back and reunited."

"Really? The legendary gathering of the three ninjas, the ninjas in the village will be extremely excited! ”

Orochimaru suddenly stopped, looking at the Konoha streets in the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance.

People are taking to the streets at the end of the day.

He squinted his eyes slightly, then smiled and said:

"Ye Naiyu, is life okay in the orphanage?"

The pharmacist behind him, Ye Naiyu, smiled and nodded:

"Very good, Lord Tuanzang recently approved some funds for the orphanage.

Speaking of which, thank you for your help in the most difficult time for the orphanage. ”

Orochimaru shook his head slightly:

"A word of advice to you if you really want to get rid of the roots of life.

Walking shrine maiden, Your Excellency should quietly leave the country of Konoha and Fire and find a secret place to set up an orphanage of your own. ”

With that, he strode forward in the breeze, and the medicine master Ye Naiyu behind him looked at his back with a complicated expression.

Night is quietly falling, in a small izakaya in Konoha Village.

Jiraiya and Tsunade already had a few empty sake bottles on their tables, and a few side dishes hadn't moved much.

Jiraiya's face was red, and he poured himself a heavy face:

"Who would have thought that the Beryuhu, who was taught by the old man with us back then, would end up like this!

Did you kill him personally, Tsunade? ”

Tsunade had just picked up the wine cup and glanced at Jiraiya, remembering the teacher's order to keep it a secret before leaving.

So she nodded silently and drank the wine from her glass.

Jiraiya changed his past impropriety, he clasped his hands to his chest, was silent for a moment, and then looked at Tsunade:

"What I'm worried about now is...... That guy from Orochimaru, he will follow in the footsteps of Humility! ”

Tsunade's eyes widened when he heard this, but considering the character of that teammate, it wasn't impossible for this to happen......

"What are you discussing? I seem to hear an idiot mention my name. ”

Orochimaru's figure quietly appeared in front of the table, looking at the two of them with special interest.

"You bastard, why are you so late for the agreed time?!"

"It doesn't matter, you two drunkards won't honestly wait for me to open the table anyway, I'm sure of that."

"Well, well. You two don't have to say a few words, really, no matter how old you are, you're still the same as soon as you speak? ”

Orochimaru sat next to Jiraiya and smiled as he picked up a sake cup.

"I just went back and changed my clothes, after all, you don't want to smell my blood all over the bar."

Jiraiya suddenly reached out and patted Orochimaru on the shoulder, with a sincere look on his face:

"Listen to my advice, don't follow Tuan Zang to do those things in the dark anymore!

You really just ...... Are you so upset that the teacher chose Watergate? ”

Orochimaru's shoulder suddenly collapsed like a lost bone, sliding Jiraiya's arm away.

"Lingering? Hehe......"

He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it slowly, his eyes revealing a look of unwillingness.

"I was on the front line against the sand shinobi for three years.

At first, he could have hit Shayin Village in one go, but he didn't allow it.

The reason is to guard against cloud ninja and rock ninja...... Okay, I accepted.

Later, after the division of troops, I offered to use my poison to drop it into the Land of Wind, but he did not allow it.

The reason is to take into account Konoha's fame and ridiculous kindness to the civilians of the enemy country...... Okay, I accepted.

In the end, I worked hard and defeated the sand shinobi in one fell swoop at Mt. Kikyo.

What did you get? It was when I returned to Konoha that I was told that I wasn't even suitable to be the Hokage. ”

Speaking of this, Orochimaru had a playful smile on his face, and he looked at his two former companions:

"I was thinking, who am I losing to?

Self-Born also you? No, you idiot character will not sit in that position even if you are forced to sit in that position. ”

He turned his gaze back to Tsunade:

"Tsunade? It's unlikely, after all, you haven't gotten over the pain you once had. ”

Speaking of this, the smile on the corner of his mouth became even more weird:

"Unexpectedly, I lost to a junior I have always admired.

Zilaiye, I have to say, you guy's vision is really good!

Wave Feng Shui Gate...... Now that I calm down, he's a better suited Hokage than me. ”

"Then why are you still ......?"

"Because it's fair! That's what I thought at the time, it's ridiculous. ”

Speaking of this, Orochimaru picked up a new wine cup on the table and poured a glass of wine very formally.

He stood up and gently pinched the cup with one hand:

"Now that I think about it, it's really ridiculous, just like that guy who is called Beryu.

Haha, obviously the talent is mediocre, and the intelligence is not superior, but he has never given up chasing the three of us......

One last cup, toast him. ”

Sake was spilled on the ground, and as soon as Orochimaru turned around, Tsunade's voice rang out.

"Orochimaru...... You led him to the bamboo forest of the Thousand Hands Clan! ”

Tsunade looked deeply at his companion, who had drifted away.

"yes, such a waste, I'm really too lazy to kill him!"

Orochimaru took two steps, then slowly turned his head and said with a smile:

"Tsunade, one last piece of advice.

According to the results of the autopsy of the corpse of Beiliuhu......

I already suspect that you have awakened Mu Dun's blood step, so ah.

Either stay in Konoha and don't leave, or stay away.

This is no longer the Konoha Village we used to be when we were children......"
