Chapter 64: Before the Zhongnin Exam (2-in-1)
After the Battle of the Brothers, Sasuke traveled to Tanokuni, and little news of this battle was known.
Afterwards, only some Konoha ninjas came to investigate, but they found nothing.
"It's no different than it was three years ago."
The scenery of Otoshinobi Village is the same as ever, or Orochimaru doesn't have any intention of building the village at all, this is just his experimental field.
Sasuke swaggered into the Otoshinobi Village again, but unlike last time, this time there were no minions coming up to stop him.
"Know I'm coming? Interesting. ”
Walking to the base, Sasuke found that the door was actually open.
After chuckling for a moment, Sasuke walked in leisurely.
Following the route he remembered, Sasuke soon found Orochimaru, who was sitting upright.
"Orochimaru, long time no see."
With that, Sasuke dragged a chair to the side and sat down.
"Hehe, how did Sasuke-kun have the heart to come to my little place? What's the matter, is there a problem with the reincarnation of the filthy earth? ”
After perfecting the reincarnation of the filthy earth, Orochimaru tried to summon the first Hokage again, but unfortunately the summoning failed.
"The first generation of adults is still fine, I came here this time for something else."
Orochimaru was able to guess that he had summoned the first Hokage, which was not surprising to Sasuke.
After all, you can't treat everyone as a fool, and Sasuke's previous actions were enough for Orochimaru to guess.
"Oh, I didn't expect Sasuke-kun to ask me for something, it's really funny."
Orochimaru's eyes were still full of longing for Sasuke, but previous experience had already taught him that it was better not to act rashly at this time.
"Being expelled from Konoha is also very angry in your heart, so are you interested in helping me a little."
Sasuke had seen his anger at Konoha and Konoha higher-ups in Orochimaru's memories as early as his memory, so he came to Orochimaru.
"Oh, could it be that Sasuke-kun wants to make a move on Konoha?"
As for the reason, if you think about it, it must be the Uchiha's business.
"Just trying to clean something up."
The meaning of Sasuke's words Orochimaru naturally understood in seconds.
"Yes, but what do I get?"
Orochimaru, who had just promised Danzo to attack Konoha, didn't intend to refuse Sasuke, but he wouldn't work for nothing.
"What do you want?"
Sasuke's meaning is very simple, that is, the conditions are up to you, and you don't agree to look at me.
"I don't have a goal yet, so I hope Sasuke-kun can help me do something in the future, and of course it won't embarrass Sasuke-kun."
Although Orochimaru wanted Sasuke's body the most, he didn't have the confidence to take Sasuke with just the cards in his hand, so he had to settle for the next best.
"Yes."
Seeing Sasuke's agreement, Orochimaru smiled with satisfaction.
"Not long ago, someone contacted me and asked me to attack Konoha and take the opportunity to kill the three generations of Hokage, I think Sasuke-kun should know who that person is, right?"
Orochimaru's words made Sasuke frown, and he could naturally guess that Orochimaru was talking about Danzo.
But to Sasuke's surprise, Danzo, known as the darkness of the ninja world, turned out to be so short-sighted, after losing the three generations of Hokage, how confident was he that he could directly ascend to the throne?
Seeing that Sasuke had a plan in mind, Orochimaru continued.
"Danzo's plan to communicate with me..."
So, Orochimaru told the plan for the collapse of Konoha during the middle ninja exam.
"And united with the sand ninja?"
Good guy, it's not enough to have a big snake pill, but you have to collude with the sand ninja, Tuan Zang really wants his old partner to die.
"Any questions about this plan?"
Sasuke looked directly into Orochimaru's eyes and said without hesitation.
"If I hadn't intervened, with you, the sound ninja village and the sand ninja village, the plan could be realized?"
You must know that although the ninja clan has lost some of its heritage in the past few years, in this existential crisis, the ninja clan will do their best to fight back.
"Hehe, that guy naturally wouldn't have thought of this, so he also asked me to secretly kill the Wind Shadow and replace it, after which the sand shinobi will be completely tied to Konoha side, it's really a good calculation."
The abacus is very good, but if you always stare at those conspiracies, the whole person's mind will be problematic.
It's like Danzo, who doesn't know what kind of brain has become bad before he can come up with the idea of murdering the Hokage.
Didn't he know that his power came from the Hokage? Without the Hokage, he was able to resist the ninja counterattack with only his roots.
To be honest, Sasuke was a little unconvinced, after all, the backbone of the root was still a member of the ninja clan after all.
No matter how good you brainwash and let the members of the root obey you, then can you still brainwash all the ninjas?
Unless that's right...
"Hehe, it seems that Danzou paid a lot of price to be the Hokage."
The Konoha high-level leaders led by the three generations have been suppressing the power of the ninja clan, although I don't know how much selfishness there is in it, but objectively speaking, it does provide a channel for the ninjas at the bottom to rise.
Therefore, if Danzo, who lives under the three generations, wants to become the Hokage, it is necessary to compromise with the ninja clan, which means that all the efforts of the three generations for a long time will come to naught. Vanish.
"It's surprising that Sasuke-kun could think of this."
Orochimaru was still very surprised by Sasuke's performance, after all, strength is strength, and talent in this area cannot be improved by cultivation alone.
Sasuke only frowned at Orochimaru's praise, but didn't say much.
Since that conversation, Sasuke's way of thinking has slowly changed.
"Although it may be hypocritical to say, this plan is still as little as possible to hurt the innocent."
Of course, Sasuke only mentioned it in this case, after all, the Konoha collapse plan is a war no matter how much it is, how can there be no casualties?
"I didn't expect Sasuke-kun to still care about the village, but don't worry, the villagers of Konoha will definitely carry out evacuation drills by then."
Only this Orochimaru dared to guarantee that, after all, it was impossible for the three generations of Hokage not to be aware of it by then.
And according to the character of the three generations of Hokage, the biggest possibility at that time is that the three generations of Hokage and Orochimaru maintain a considerable tacit understanding.
"Promised someone else."
Casually putting the topic aside, Sasuke spoke his mind.
"When the time comes, I will personally solve the group hiding them, so the three generations of Hokage will be handed over to you."
Hearing Sasuke's words, Orochimaru became more and more excited, after all, seeing that the decaying Konoha was about to be reborn again.
Although it doesn't have much to do with Orochimaru, observing this change is the most comfortable leisure time for him.
"Then that's it."
Orochimaru, who licked his tongue, was very excited, after all, such an interesting thing was seen once less than once.
After discussing the matter, Sasuke left alone, and he didn't care if Orochimaru would regret it.
It's a big deal, just do it again when the time comes, and at most waste some time.
After leaving the Otoshinobi Village, Sasuke set out on his journey back to the Land of Fire.
However, after sensing the reaction of the psychic technique, Sasuke took out the scroll.
This is the means that Sasuke uses to exchange information with the shadow clone.
"The Land of Waves? Looks like it's going to be a trip. ”
Although he is dedicated to planting trees, it is impossible for Sasuke not to ask about the world, and the information of the past three years has all relied on the contribution of the shadow clone.
And this time, after Sasuke passed on the information that he was going back to the village, the shadow clone gave him the news that he was on a mission in the country of waves.
And the most interesting thing is that this time the C-level mission has an accident.
But fortunately, the enemy this time was not strong, and the shadow clone didn't spend much effort to eliminate the enemy, and was on his way back to the village at this time.
…
Kakashi took the seventh squad to repair the Naruto Bridge and set off to return to Konoha after defeating Zaibu Slash.
On the way, Sasuke's shadow clone suddenly sensed the approach of the main body.
"Kakashi-sensei, I'll make it easier."
Kakashi, who was reading the intimacy heaven, just waved his hand.
"Go and get back."
So, Sasuke's shadow clone left the team and came to the main body.
"Good work."
Sasuke looked at his shadow clone with emotion, and he had been out for three years without paying attention.
"It's okay, I'm just staying at school every day, but you have to pick up the memories of the past three years."
As he spoke, the shadow clone unsealed the technique.
"I'm also a tall one..."
Before he finished speaking, three years of memories flooded Sasuke's mind.
After three years of companionship, the shadow clone has long been accustomed to staying with his companions.
So under the impact of this disparate memory, Sasuke's thinking began to go out of sorts.
As a last resort, Sasuke sat directly cross-legged to regulate his messy spirit.
Fortunately, the memory of the shadow clone is not too long, so that Sasuke will have a split personality in an instant.
And the experience of wandering outside the ninja world all the year round and the practice of retreat have made Sasuke's spirit tough enough, so under the impact of such memories, he can be fine.
It took a long time for Sasuke to sort out his mixed spirit.
"It's finally over."
Sasuke then got up and returned to the group.
And on Kakashi's side, Naruto, who had been waiting for a long time, had already become impatient.
"Damn, did that guy fall into the pit?"
Sakura found out that Naruto was speaking ill of Sasuke, and she hammered it straight up.
"How can you speak, Sasuke-kun may have something delayed."
And at this time, Sasuke happened to be back.
"No, I have diarrhea."
Although lies are shameful, we have to admit that lying is a very efficient method.
It's easy to ignore a lot of irrationalities.
"Now that we're done, let's go."
And on the way back to Konoha, Naruto kept talking to Sasuke by his side.
Sakura, on the other hand, is constantly maintaining and refuting it from a very tricky angle.
And everything around him gave Sasuke the illusion that he was suddenly out of this world.
It's really easy to get along with each other easily, even for the weathered Sasuke.
"However, that's why I'm going to protect it, as long as I sweep away the dust in front of me."
The contribution of the three generations and other high-level leaders to Konoha is indelible, and even the strategy of suppressing the ninja clan is not wrong.
But unfortunately, when they get older, power corrupts the former youth, and only the shell of the aging remains.
It has long been unrecognizable, interests, desires, rights, there is everything in it, but there is no hope.
"But the dust will always disperse and the sun will always rise."
I don't know when Sasuke was a firm believer in this sentence.
There were no waves on the way back to Konoha, which was a little new to Sasuke's rich "experience".
And after they returned to Konoha, an eagle's chirp resounded over Konoha.
"I have something to do, so you should disband it on the spot first."
With that, Kakashi left in a hurry.
Naruto was very dissatisfied with this, and even his narrowed eyes were full of resentment.
"What, as soon as I came back, I didn't see anyone, really."
And just as Naruto was complaining, there was a sudden noise not far away.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Seeing Konohamaru being grabbed by Kankuro's neck, Naruto rushed over directly.
"Shouldn't this kid apologize for hitting me?"
With that, Kankuro threw Konohamaru out.
And while Naruto was arguing with them, Sasuke looked at Iara who was hanging upside down in the tree next to him.
It's similar to Naruto's, but it doesn't look very stable.
But one thing to say, Sasuke doesn't think the action of hanging on a tree is not good, isn't he afraid of his own brain congestion after hanging for a long time?
"Don't be ashamed, Kankuro."
My Airo's voice was unexpectedly cold.
It seems that there is no shortage of killings, and it is completely different from Naruto's simple guy.
With that smell of blood, Sasuke could guess that the other party was a ninja who had seen blood, and there were definitely not a few people who had killed.
And after I reprimanded Kankuro, I set my sights on Sasuke.
He was interested in this guy who had discovered himself from the beginning.
"What's your name?"
Sasuke bent the corners of his mouth and said casually with an expression.
"Uchiha, Sasuke."
"Uchiha Sasuke? I remember you, and I will kill you myself, to make up for your disrespect. ”
When I said this, I had a very hideous face.
"Hehe, interesting."
So, Sasuke put his hand on the hilt of the Gojin sword.
With a birdsong, Sasuke turned into lightning and flashed in front of Iara.
And before the sand could react, he compared the blade to my arrow's neck.
Sasuke, who was also hanging upside down from a tree branch, spoke in a light tone.
"Don't talk big next time, or you'll die."
And when the sand hits, Sasuke disappears in place again, returns to Sakura's side, and puts his knife in its sheath.
To be so humiliated, I love me, how can I give up.
But at this moment, the three of Shikamaru walked over.
"Even if it's a middle ninja exam, it's not allowed to make trouble in someone else's village, right?"
But I, who was extremely emotionally unstable, could listen to this, so I prepared to kill.
But he suddenly saw Sasuke's three-hooked jade writing wheel, and the momentum of the whole person weakened for a while.
The reason why this is so is not because I am afraid, but because Shouhe is honest with the whole beast after seeing those eyes.
"Tailed beasts? It's a magical creature, but it's a little weak. ”
Through the Sharingan, Sasuke enters the spiritual world of Iara and sees the sealed Shouzuru.
"Stinky boy, you..."
But before Shouhe could speak, he used his pupil power to suppress Shouhe's chakra.
"It's like that bastard."
This was Shouzuru's last thought before he was quiet.
