Kakashi's heart throbbed heavily, and when he heard Orochimaru's words, he closed his eyes slightly, tears rolling down his face.

The depression that has been accumulated for nearly ten years seems to have dissipated with tears, and the whole person's temperament has become a little more energetic.

It is a painful thing to deny the person you respect the most, especially since this person is still your own father.

You can't make a change in an instant, but you have to go through a long process, and if you are not careful, emotional bubbles will emerge out of nowhere.

It's not that they're punctured, it's that when they are punctured, they keep coming out of the bottom of their hearts.

It makes you wonder what the point of this repetitive act is.

Now, finally, I don't have to.

The sky was faintly bright, the morning light floated in the mist, and in the jungle, Kakashi let out a long breath, his eyes regaining some clarity.

After clearly recognizing his father's choice, he no longer dwells on the past and can move forward.

Orochimaru witnessed Kakashi's changes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked,

"How, what do you think now after learning about Shuo Mao's choice?"

"Do you want to take revenge on the village? Although there was not a single specific prisoner to be found, it was clear that the old man, the silent people in the village, had a share of responsibility for what they had to say. ”

Kakashi shook his head, "Father carried out his will, and if I did this, it would be an insult to him." ”

"You don't have to think so, it doesn't make sense for Shuo Mao to do something, you must inherit it."

Orochimaru smiled, "If this logic is followed, what I am doing now is also a betrayal of my parents. ”

"At the end of the day, it depends on your own thoughts, and if you really complain, you don't have to suppress it."

Kakashi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Orochimaru to say that.

But complaining?

Kakashi clutched his chest, a little speechless for a moment.

The high-level villagers who have been corrupted by power, and the villagers who are willing to be sacrificed...... To say that there is not a trace of complaint, there is no doubt that this is deceiving oneself.

But even if there were, so what?

Can he still take revenge on these people?

They didn't really do anything wrong, although the three generations used sacrifice as a means, but not for themselves, the Konoha ninja was even more for the sake of the village, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice his own life.

Can you take revenge on these people?

In the end, they will incur evil consequences, not because they are evil, but because of different ideas.

Idea...... Kakashi thought thoughtfully.

Just now, Orochimaru-sama said that the village had changed because of his father's death, and he was in a state of agitation after hearing it, and he couldn't help himself.

But based on what he had seen and heard, the change ...... Is it really as big as you think?

Before and after the change, which one was best for the village?

……

Kakashi had been reflecting on doubts for the first half of his life, and now, like inertia, a lot of questions popped up in his mind.

But he may be a genius ninja, but in these aspects, he is not even a novice, and almost never thinks about the path of the village with the mind of a manager.

After a moment of silence, he asked Orochimaru the question in his heart.

"What's right is best, there's no need to either/or."

As always, Orochimaru gave a broad answer, and he shook his head,

"What Shuo Mao resisted was not sacrifice, but giving up thinking and taking sacrifice for granted."

In fact, it seems that the significance of this matter is not only that.

The ninjas in the village died a few more and a few less, and Orochimaru didn't care.

But if they all develop like this group of hidden root ninjas, rot from the roots, and accept the fate of their own tools, he will be very troubled.

High-quality leeks should not only be passively grown, but also actively create value.

With his own light god, the ninja in the village should also exert his subjective initiative, at least in this direction.

Just like Kakashi in front of him.

"The opposite of sacrifice is the best of both worlds, the latter is naturally better, but it is difficult to do."

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Implementing one's beliefs is not just something that can be said with one mouth, it requires real strength. ”

"Although I admit Shuo Mao, there may not be a better way to do this."

"Don't give up thinking and get carried away by yourself, you know?"

Kakashi nodded heavily.

"It's almost time, let's go back." Orochimaru bowed slightly, jumped up to the treetops, and hurried in the direction of the camp.

Kakashi followed.

After untying the knot, he found a new goal, and his life has been able to move towards another open world.

……

More than ten miles away from the root site, in an underground laboratory.

At the time of Kakashi's transformation, there was also another person who got what he had been pursuing, and the whole person was completely new.

Click......

The clear glass cover of the nutrient tank shattered, and the dark green solution overflowed, and in the midst of it, an emaciated, withered figure stepped out.

"Congratulations to Tuanzang-sama, the first generation of cell transplantation was successful, how do you feel now?"

The lead researcher was smiling and excited, as if he didn't see the cost of the experiment's success, or rather, didn't dare to see it.

Tuan Zang clenched his left fist, this arm, which had been damaged and shrunk by past battles, was now solid and powerful, and his whole body seemed to be back to the moment of thirty years old and the most 'vigorous'.

Energetic......

The word flashed through his mind, and inexorably, Tuan Zang covered his face and laughed.

The low laugh quickly turned into a big laugh and a wild laugh, until he opened his arms and gave vent to his ecstasy as if no one was around.

It has been suppressed for decades, so long that he himself is numb to his mind, and he just insists mechanically, forcing himself not to have the slightest question.

Now, at last, the first glimmer of light has arrived, and although the roots have been destroyed, his combat power has returned to its peak, surpassing the already decrepit Sun Slash.

Tuan Zang hid his face with his hands, and the excitement, surprise, and joy were so strong that it was difficult to suppress.

The root ninja who was present saw the performance of the group, and his heart was also deeply touched, and now that the root is half-destroyed, the leader of the group can stand up, there is no doubt that it is a heart booster.

“……”

After venting hysterically for a while, Danzang stood up and went into the bathroom to wash his body.

At this moment, in the mirror, an unfamiliar face came into view, his eyes were deep-set, his muscles were dry, and there was no flesh on his body, almost like a skull with a layer of skin.

It was only then that it became clear to him what price he had paid for the success of the experiment.

"Hoo ......"

Danzou clenched his fists and let out a long breath as he left the bathroom and headed straight for the lead researcher.

Seeing that Tuan Zang was violent, the chief researcher's face remained unchanged, but his legs couldn't stop shaking, and he said urgently,

"Lord Tuanzang, this is just a normal postoperative reaction, and it can be recovered after a period of recuperation."
