Chapter 44: Gradually Connecting Cause and Effect Threads.

Hachiki Shuo Shigeru, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade can be called the current mainstay of Konoha.

Whether the four of them are on missions, on the battlefield, or in Konoha's internal affairs, they all have a lot of intersections, and they can't be more familiar with each other.

Qimu Shuomao and Orochimaru have always met in Pingshui, and the two will only communicate unless they are on a mission or on the battlefield.

And Hachiki Shuomao once said that the person he can't see through the most is Orochimaru.

Since they can't see through it, the personal relationship between the two will naturally not be good enough to visit the mansion at night.

Then Orochimaru's trip is definitely not a simple reminiscence.

"Long time no see, Orochimaru." Hachiki Shuomao nodded, which was a response, and then asked Orochimaru about the purpose of his trip.

"It's not like your style to come to me at home so late."

"It's not my style, but there are exceptions to everything, you say? Lord Shuomao. ”

"Don't say polite words, it's good for everyone to get straight to the point." Sakushige Hachiki had already grabbed the short knife behind his back with one hand.

"You're welcome, Shuo Mao." Orochimaru licked the corners of his mouth with interest, "Sure enough, even if a pure ninja is in a high position, he can know a lot of unknown secrets." ”

Orochimaru is not stupid, after seeing Hachiki Shuomao act like this, he naturally knows that Hachiki Shuomao already knows a lot of things, including those pickled things he did behind his back.

Orochimaru also understands many things, what he does under Konoha's nose is absolutely impossible to be foolproof, it's just that some people indulge, some people cover up, and some people don't want to mention it.

"Although you no longer trust me, it doesn't mean that I don't trust you anymore." Orochimaru took a deep look at Qimu Shuomao, then turned around and walked, "Shuomao, this is not a place to talk, I don't know if you dare to go out alone with me?" ”

"Why wouldn't I?"

Qimu Shuomao sneered, and then followed.

He wasn't afraid of Orochimaru at all, and he didn't think that Orochimaru and the group behind him could do something to lose his IQ.

For example, the next thing to do is assassination.

Even if it was made, it wouldn't be in the interior of Konoha Village.

……

Konoha, Orochimaru's secret test base.

Shomo Hachiki, who had followed Orochimaru here, was trembling all over, he had known that Orochimaru was conducting some secret experiments, and he had also investigated the loss of children in the villages near Konoha.

The conclusion drawn was naturally directed at Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo, but this matter was suppressed by the three generations of Hokage Ape Tobi.

But it's one thing to know, and it's another thing to see it with your own eyes, and Qimu Shuomao is a little unacceptable.

"Shuo Mao, I heard that your breath is not as smooth as just now, do you feel anything?" Orochimaru asked knowingly.

"Look what you've done!" Hagi Shuo Shigeru pointed to the embryos in the culture tank, "You are simply insulting the name of the three ninjas!" ”

"This is the teacher's acquiescence." Orochimaru chuckled, "You're not the Hokage yet, you're too wide." ”

"You're ......!" Qimu Shuomao trembled, but he couldn't find any words to refute.

"Hehe, Shuo Mao, although it is a little disrespectful to call you like this, but the truth is that you are just a political victim."

"What the hell are you trying to say?!" Hachiki Shuomao stared coldly at Orochimaru.

"What I'm trying to say is, it's time for you to do it." Orochimaru looked directly into the eyes of Sakushige Hagi, "Kill Shimura Danzo, force the teacher to abdicate, and then ...... Push everything on my head again. ”

Hachiki Shuomao gradually came back to his senses, and looked at Orochimaru in disbelief, he didn't expect Orochimaru to say this and do so.

"Don't be surprised, this is the last thing I do for Konoha." Orochimaru's expression gradually became crazy, "The decay of Konoha has become a foregone conclusion, if you don't increase some strength, you will not cure the symptoms at all." ”

"But what is your purpose?"

"My purpose?" Orochimaru pointed at himself, "I don't have a purpose, I just do things according to my own preferences." ”

"Now I am no longer the same person I used to be, my pursuit has changed, I am no longer confined to one village and one country, and I no longer focus on ten years and a hundred years, what I want is eternal life and endless knowledge."

"It's dangerous for you to do that." Qimu Shuomao said in a deep voice.

"Who lives in the world without danger? Even if you eat a meal, you may choke to death, this is the fragility of life, and endless accidents will take everyone's life, and you and I are the same. ”

Orochimaru was like a philosopher at this time, and what he said made Hachiki Shuomao disagree and didn't approve much.

But putting these aside, Orochimaru's previous proposal still moved Qimu Shuomao's heart.

"What exactly is your plan?"

"I have all the evidence of Shimura Tunzang here, which is enough to make him die seven or eight times, but the premise is that the teacher is willing to do it." Orochimaru took out a stack of evidence and handed it to Hachiki Shuomao, "You just need to take it, and then seriously injure me, and go to the teacher again, I believe that there will be a conclusion to the matter." ”

Instead of reaching for it, Sakumo shook his head.

"There is a ninety percent chance that the three generations of Hokage-sama will not do it."

"Of course I do." Orochimaru's emotions did not fluctuate in the slightest, "But in this case, you will have a reason, and you will have a chance to pull out the Konoha tumor." ”

"But it's risky!" Sakushige Hachiki was calm, he had already anticipated the consequences of his actions.

"It's adventurous, but does it have anything to do with whether you want to do it or not?"

Orochimaru's words went straight to the point, which made Qimu Shuomao stunned, and his eyes stared at Orochimaru with a straight look.

Trying to discern some hint of conspiracy in his snake eyes.

……

Hachiki Sakumo left, his heavy steps still holding a series of incriminating evidence from Shimura Danzo provided by Orochimaru.

However, Sakumo Hachiki didn't choose to do anything to Orochimaru, and he couldn't make up his mind now.

And Akira Hagi and Kakashi still need time to grow, and he doesn't want to risk it now.

If it succeeds, it's fine, but if it fails, the entire Hagi family will be buried with Hagi Shuomao, and Akira Hachiki and Kakashi, who have not yet grown up, naturally can't escape the fate of being buried.

He didn't dare to underestimate the power in the hands of Sarutobi and Shimura Danzo, and the slightest carelessness would shatter his bones.

Not only that, but it is impossible for Hachiki Shuomao to believe all of Orochimaru's words, who knows if this is a pit that Orochimaru and Shimura Danzou dug for themselves in tandem.

With a concern on his mind, Hachiki Sakushige returned home.

However, when he entered the door, the first thing he saw was Akira Hachiki and Kakashi, who were sitting in the living room quietly waiting for his return.

"Father."

The two brothers spoke in unison and stood up to meet Qimu Shuomao.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Qimu Shuomao glanced at Qimu Ming, and there was some blame in his words.

"Can't sleep." Qimu Ming saw the information in Qimu Shuomao's hand, "Did my father go out to see someone?" ”

"Yes, Orochimaru came to me and gave me all the evidence of Shimura's crimes." Qimu Shuomao put away the information in his hand, and after explaining a sentence, he didn't mean to show Qimu Ming at all.

"It seems that Orochimaru still has some conscience now, and it will be some years before he is completely insane." After a little thought, Hachiki Ming guessed the matter, "Father, is Orochimaru trying to kill Shimura Danzo or force the third generation to step down through your hands?" ”

"It's got to be you, Ming." Qimu Shuomao sighed with emotion, "That's what Orochimaru did, but I don't want to do it now." ”

"Father is right to do this, it's not time yet, after all, the power of the Qimu family is too thin."

Qimu Ming pulled Qimu Shuomao to sit down, "Father, you just need to know these things in your heart, don't get involved for the time being, there will be an excellent opportunity in the future." ”

Akira Akira didn't expect Orochimaru to make a sudden move, although the trick he used was clumsy, but if Akira Akira didn't change something, it was estimated that Akira Aki would jump into the pit by himself.

In other words, Akira Hachiki has connected all the reasons for Sakushige's suicide and understands why such a powerful ninja would choose to use suicide to understand his life.

Qimu Shuomao was completely forced, and it was impossible to achieve the effect of a one-sided public opinion attack.

Gradually, Qi Muming's eyes gradually became cold.

Now that we understand the reason, it is time to put many things on the agenda.
