Orochimaru chose to come straight to Qing Shui at such a moment, obviously with considerable certainty.

It seems that the experiment of "sealing part of the tailed beast power" mentioned in Kikyo Mountain has made a breakthrough.

But it's too much of a coincidence to come to the door at such a point in time.

It just so happened that when the four generations of Hokage were competing for the position, Orochimaru said that he had eyebrows?

I always feel that Orochimaru has never given up on this experimental idea, or that the results have already been achieved, and he waited until the really critical moment to take it out as his bargaining chip.

After all, Orochimaru knows very well that today's Shimizu will have such weight in the upper echelons of Konoha is inseparable from the attention of the three generations of Hokage and Jiraiya, as well as the friendship with the water gate.

Once there is a difference in the essential interests of the two sides, the probability of Shimizu standing in the water gate will be greatly increased.

Can a mere transaction agreement bind the other party? Would a person like Orochimaru bet his hopes on these?

This is obviously impossible.

So Orochimaru also left himself a back hand in case of emergency.

The more you think about it, the more likely it is that this is the case.

"I wonder if April-kun is still interested?" Orochimaru's expression was inquisitive.

"Is it to seal part of the tailed beast's power into the body without becoming a human pillar force?"

"Yes."

"Your experiment has been successful?"

"Of course."

With Orochimaru's personality, if there is a sure experiment, it will definitely be applied to himself, just like the Mu Dun in the past.

Then if the experiment is really successful, wouldn't the strength of the Great Snake Pill ......

"Then your chakra ......"

"It's a pity that the first experimenter was not me, but Eryue."

“！！！”

That Orochimaru's bastard?!

"In the past, because Eryue couldn't refine chakra, it was impossible for him to become a ninja through normal means, and it was even more impossible to follow our cultivation route."

"Later, although I refined the improved Hero's Water and successfully opened his ninja path, his talent is too ordinary."

"If it goes on like that, he won't be able to touch the realm of forbearance in his life."

"So I thought about whether it was possible to seal some of the tailed beast's chakras in Eryue's body, so that he could break the confinement of this talent and go to the next level."

"And now, finally, my experiment has succeeded!"

Therefore, this experiment of sealing part of the tailed beast's power in the body while not becoming a human pillar force was specially opened for Eryue.

It's the refined water of heroes, and it's also a tailed beast seal experiment that has been tried for it many times......

And say that this imp is not your illegitimate child?!

"You ...... to him That's nice. Qing Shui sighed that this little ghost named Eryue had a bright future, and Uncle Snake, the first scientist of the Hokage, helped him open up a path in life and overcome obstacles.

Even if the talent is negative, it can give you a dreamy start to the shadow-level chakra.

This kind of chakra is what many people dream of.

"Is it really just a picked up orphan of war?"

"What does April think?"

"Your bastard." Shimizu blurted out his debut.

I saw that Orochimaru's face instantly stiffened, and then the poisonous snake replied a little unnaturally: "April Jun said that he laughed. ”

"Really? I see something is wrong with your face? ”

If it had been before, Qing Shui would definitely not have chosen to get to the bottom of it, because it would be very rude to rashly inquire into a person's secret.

Especially a bond like him and Orochimaru, which relies on certain interests.

If the interests can be maintained, then they will be stable; But when the interests fade, how many people can tolerate such peeping?

Now, I finally opened the conversation after the topic of "the position of the fourth generation of Hokage" was launched......

At this point, I don't ask when.

Orochimaru immediately showed that trademark grim smile: "April-kun really wants to know? ”

"If you don't mind."

Orochimaru groaned slightly, and after a moment replied, "After I become the fourth Hokage, I will tell you the truth." ”

"Because speaking of which, it's also related to April-kun."

"What?" Qing Shui thought for a moment that he had misheard, "You said that Eryue has something to do with me?" ”

It can't be that bloody, right?

Shimizu inadvertently kills Eryue's parents during a mission, resulting in the fact that Eryue has become a war orphan, but Orochimaru brings her back to Konoha ......

"Yes, but this thing is a taboo." Orochimaru licked his lips, "Please also ask the current April Jun to be patient." ”

"Only after I become the fourth Hokage can I tell you all this."

"April-kun, you can understand my determination to take the position of the fourth Hokage, right?"

"Hmm." Qing Shui nodded slightly in understanding.

Orochimaru really did his best for the position of this Hokage, even if he sacrificed himself.

You have to know how many times the other party's mission is to achieve the final victory with its own bait.

This courage alone is enough to make people admire it.

Such a person, once he has a clear goal, will do whatever it takes to achieve the goal.

Because the other party can even gamble with his own life, so what else can not be sacrificed?

If he doesn't agree to Orochimaru's current deal, and repents on his previous deal, how will the other party react?

"Don't you think that life is too fragile?"

"Let's just say that the third ninja war that has just ended, how many ninjas have been sacrificed in the past few years, this is a huge number that you and I can't estimate."

The two of them stood on the Hokage Rock, and the entire Konoha Village was in full view.

In the distance, a mother and son worship a portrait of a middle-aged man; A pair of parents are crying over the loss of their parent; There are also infatuated lovers who choose to continue to wait for the return of their lovers......

Orochimaru said in a deep voice: "Because of the war, the lovers were torn apart and the family fell apart......"

"And man, once dead, will not come back."

He suddenly turned to look at Qing Shui: "I think this, April Jun also feels deeply, right?" ”

"Mission means casualties, and war is even more so, and you and I can relate to that." Qing Shui replied softly.

"Then did April-kun ever think that your former best friends and subordinates could come back again?"

Ever thought about it...... But that's not what Shimizu could hope for in April.

Whether it is the reincarnation of the filthy earth or the innate art of reincarnation in the outer path, the difficulty of acquiring these techniques alone is already as difficult as reaching the sky, not to mention the harsh requirements for the practitioner or the heavy cost after the operation, so the so-called "resurrection" has become an unattainable fantasy.

"April-kun is silent, it looks like he really thought about it." Orochimaru showed a look of great interest, "However, the reality is so cruel, how can a person be resurrected after death?" ”

"You want to say you can bring the dead back to life."

"April's guess is right." Orochimaru smiled, then he nodded and said, "I can indeed bring the dead back to life. ”

"But?"

But the disadvantages of that art are too great, and the resurrected man has only a soul and no real body. This is not a resurrection in the true sense of the word. ”

"You want to improve this?"

"Yes."

"So you need the position of the fourth generation Hokage?"

"Only the Hokage can allow me to carry out these studies in the name of justice." After a short pause, Orochimaru continued, "And the resources required for the research and development of forbidden techniques are too huge for me to sustain alone. ”

"Orochimaru, do you have someone you want to save, but in the end you left a regret?"

Orochimaru hesitated slightly, then affirmed, "Yes." ”

"Can you tell me who it is?"

"It's one of my former disciples...... His name is Rope Tree. Orochimaru said with a look of remembrance, "I think April-kun should remember this person as well." ”

Rope is the younger brother of Tsunade, one of the three ninja of Konoha, a disciple of Orochimaru, who rose to prominence in the Second Shinobi War, and a rising star who is known as the revival of the Senju clan.

It's just that these auras are not the fundamental reason why Qing Shui remembers him.

His greatest characteristic is to spread his dream of becoming the Hokage in the future, so that everyone can make it known.

If you have to say it, it is somewhat similar to Naruto.

A hot-blooded fool.

However, the difference is that Naruto finally realizes his false words, while Rope Tree is forever frozen at the age of 12.

He died in the cold detonator trap, and when he was found, he had all his entrails emptied.

After the death of Rope Tree, there was also a rumor: Orochimaru and Tsunade officially parted ways, and the cold and ruthless Orochimaru also shed tears for others for the first time, but it was too late.

However, Qing Shui had never seen the poisonous snake in front of him shed tears for anyone, so he had always been skeptical of this rumor.

After all, a refined egoist is not concerned with the feelings of others.

Unless, too, he meets the guy who can hurt him.

Is it a rope tree?

Or Tsunade?

After all, it was a secret many years ago, and everything had long since passed with the end of the Second Ninja War.

"You want to resurrect the rope tree?"

"I used to think about ......it," Orochimaru said quietly, "but now the words have lost their original meaning. ”

"But I'll continue to improve that technique."

"Life is so fragile, and if I could, I would like to give it a second chance."

Improving Filthy Earth Reincarnation?!

If you use the power of a village to help Orochimaru, it may not be impossible.

It's just that if there is a second possibility in life, will people still cherish this hard-won life?

However, this kind of ethical issue is not something that he needs to consider in April Shimizu, because realistically, with such a technique, many tragedies can indeed be undone, and it also gives those ninjas who are on a mission in a desperate situation a chance to survive.

As long as the control and utilization are good, the appearance of this technique will add considerable strength to Konoha.

Then, Orochimaru sighed heavily: "And today's Konoha, although he won the war, is really weak. ”

"Mizuto is indeed a very good candidate for Hokage, but he is too kind."

"If he becomes the Hokage, the politicians of the other four major countries will hold on to his kindness and attack him......"

"I'm worried that Konoha will be divided and disintegrated by them...... The teacher just missed the opportunity for Konoha to really get rid of these shackles because he was too concerned about some things. ”

The governing style of the three generations of Hokage, in Shimizu's view, belongs to the kind of leader who is benevolent and ambitious, and does not lose perseverance and courage.

But to the extent of true perfection, it is simply impossible.

After all, people will be affected by their own hearts and the decline of their strength as they grow older.

The three generations of Hokage were reluctant to let Konoha take risks because of the huge losses, and finally adopted a conservative strategy; But in Orochimaru's view, as long as he takes one step further, it is the sea and the sky.

That's the difference.

Today's Orochimaru has this indomitable majestic momentum!

"And I will never make such a mistake again."

"I think April-kun's understanding of war should also have his own opinion."

"Blind forbearance and kindness cannot be exchanged for the desired results."

Today's Konoha really needs a hero who can die for Konoha first.

Although Tuan Zang is also a hero in a sense, he is too desperate for his life.

Orochimaru's powerful ninja who dares to put himself and himself in danger, and then is reborn in Nirvana, is the best candidate for Hokage in the minds of ordinary ninjas, and those who go to the ninja class are not all confused, who is more beneficial to Konoha when he is the Hokage, in fact, they have long known it.

It's just that the selection of the Hokage is not only related to the interests of Konoha in the ninja world, but also the distribution of interests among the factions within the Hokage......

Orochimaru's style of acting is not recognized by the top management of Konoha.

So after Orochimaru said so much, Qing Shui suddenly found that he had been moved by Orochimaru's words.

So only one last question remained: "Is the Shinobi who disappeared in the Forest of Death related to you?" ”

An unsolved case at that time has not been solved to this day, and Shimizu at that time wishfully decided that Orochimaru was a prisoner.

And no matter how the shadows investigate, they can't find out the truth about the disappearance of the shinobi boy.

It's really as if the world has evaporated.

"Is April-kun suspicious of me?" Orochimaru smiled, "Although I also do human experiments, the subjects of the experiments are all homeless or rebellious. ”

"Attack the people in my own village, I can't do this kind of thing at the moment."

This explanation can be regarded as barely passing.

And there is no real evidence left......

"So, how did you do the method of sealing part of the Tailed Beast's power that you said?"

"May I assume that April-kun made a choice?"

"Yes."

"It's not easy." Orochimaru sighed softly.

"But Orochimaru, there's one thing I want you to understand." Shimizu said in a deep voice, "I didn't make such a choice for this transaction this time. ”

Because just in terms of the new crisis that Konoha needs to face now, Konoha really needs such a hero to fight for more benefits for Konoha.

"Maybe I'm also selfish, but I also really hope that this village can continue to prosper and be strong."

"You made me see the possibility, that's why I chose you."

"So, don't let me down easily."
