If you count the age of ordinary people, in the first half of his life, Orochimaru was either participating in wars or pursuing eternal life, and in his spare time, he also focused on himself, and rarely turned his attention to other people.

Although I have also received disciples and excavated Yakushidou and others, this kind of cultivation is difficult to call it, but I went around in the wild, and occasionally found some strange flowers and plants and brought them back.

Cultivating talents is not only about people, but also about cultivating the soil that can nurture talents.

It's a rather troublesome matter, and it won't produce results anytime soon, but Orochimaru has to put it on the agenda now.

Eternal life is a huge issue.

The Otsuki clan may be easily attainable with their talents, but mortals like themselves have to overcome unimaginable difficulties and dangers in their pursuit of eternal life.

The cultivation of immortal art is only one aspect, and today, many things, many ideas, Orochimaru is increasingly discovering that the doppelganger lacks skills, and how difficult it is to complete this path by himself, unless he chooses to retreat to the second best thing, and use the 'Immortal Reincarnation Technique' to achieve a low-level immortality.

This is not impossible, but it is obviously too inferior as a preference, and it is a last resort.

Now that the situation in the ninja world is gradually stabilizing, it is the ambitious Yunyin Village, and after suffering several setbacks, it will not think about coming out to do things again in a short time.

And after his own soul injury recovered, he had to continue to practice immortal arts and use the breathing method to sense nature.

This requires a lot of time, and no longer doing experiments day and night, which is inevitably a bit out of place, just turn the free time to the direction of leek.

The next stage of the plan is to completely replace the roots, and apply the resources that were originally used to satisfy the selfish interests of the group to the topics they want to study.

Right now, the study of sealing techniques, medical ninjutsu ...... Gradually on the agenda, other such as the first generation of cells, the hidden exploration of the human body, should also recruit relevant talents.

Digging up the roots of the roots, is one of the fastest methods.

This time, Dou will half-destroy the root base and kill most of the root ninja members, and Tuan Zang has lost its biggest support, and the old man will definitely think of suppressing the next rise of the root.

And Tuan Zang wants to turn the tables, but he is nothing more than selling miserably, and he attacks on the fact that he is his own subordinate.

Scold...... This played into his arms.

Orochimaru licked his lips, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

The pocket is now a bomb, maybe it will hurt itself, or it may be able to destroy everything in the group, and the specific effect depends on who uses this weapon better.

Just as Orochimaru was thinking about how to deal a fatal blow to Danzo, suddenly, Kakashi, after the shift change, got up and jumped onto the treetop where he was.

Orochimaru turned his head to look, Kakashi bowed slightly, and said, "Orochimaru-sama, I have some doubts in my heart, I hope you can answer them for me." ”

What doubts need to be asked at this point in time?

Orochimaru saw the pleading in Kakashi's eyes, and suddenly understood something, he stood up and said slowly,

"This is not the place to talk, follow me."

With that, he flew straight towards the dark place in the forest, and Kakashi glanced back at his companion and chased after him.

……

Falling into a clearing in the forest, Orochimaru turned around, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly,

"If there is any problem, just say it, although I am not your teacher, but as a friend of Shuo Mao, it doesn't hurt to point out his son."

Kakashi bowed, and then he raised his head, although he was wearing a mask, but he could see from his eyes that he had been depressed for a long time,

"Ignoring the interests of the village for selfishness, although you suppressed Yun Yin and solved this matter perfectly, but in essence, it is the same as what my father did back then, I want to know, is this right or wrong?"

"My father fell to that result back then, was he wrong, or did he not persevere to the end?"

"It turns out that this is the problem, it's been so long, it turns out that you are still struggling."

Orochimaru suddenly remembered the figure of the three-way riverside, persistently wandering, and suddenly felt a little emotional, it is not only the living who are entangled, some things can't be figured out, and they can't rest in peace after death.

He patted Kakashi on the shoulder and smiled, "If you want to get a definite answer from me, I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person, this kind of thing can only be done on a case-by-case basis, not generalized." ”

Kakashi frowned slightly, he wasn't satisfied with this answer, it was too broad, and there was a perfunctory way between the lines.

But this is a request, can he still press Orochimaru's head and force him to solve his doubts.

"Thank you, Lord Orochimaru, for your explanation......"

Kakashi bowed slightly, but he was disappointed in his heart, and was about to end this question, but Orochimaru continued,

"Uchiha Obito, do you remember the name?"

Kakashi's eyes widened, not knowing why he was mentioning the name.

"Looks like I remember."

The corners of Orochimaru's mouth hooked slightly, "Don't worry, my relationship with Shuo Mao is okay, and I don't care about fooling his son." ”

Kakashi was silent for a moment and asked, "Why did you suddenly mention Obito?" ”

Obito, what does it have to do with the previous topic?

Orochimaru shook his head and didn't answer the question directly, but continued, "In the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, Uchiha Obito gave up the mission and chose to prioritize saving his companion Nohara Rin, who was captured by the enemy, and then died in this operation, right? ”

Kakashi's expression darkened, and he nodded slightly.

"Uchiha Obito is not a good ninja, but there is no doubt that he is a good companion."

These words hit Kakashi's thoughts, but Orochimaru changed his words and asked again,

"But here's the problem, you and Obito also performed a lot of missions in the third ninja war, except for the one when Kannabi Bridge, you should have faced many times, choosing between companions and completing tasks......"

Orochimaru looked at Kakashi, and his originally smiling face suddenly darkened,

"So, what choices did you make at other times? Is it also a good companion? ”

Kakashi's face changed when he heard this.

"There is no need to answer, I know very well that you should have made the 'right' choice, otherwise, you will not live without God."

Orochimaru smiled, "But here's the question, why is it inconsistent and doesn't insist on being right every time." ”

"The answer is also very simple, because it was everyone else who was going to die before, but this time it was Nohara Lin who died."

"The good companion in your mind is just a double standard."

"Companions, ninjas in the village, villagers, family, teachers...... It's all different people with different weights. ”

"For the sake of important people, give up some unimportant things, as a matter of course."

Kakashi's eyes shifted, and after a moment, he sighed.
