103 The departure of Konoha Sanshinobi

"Orochimaru!

! Don't run away! Come back with me! ”

Looking at Jiraiya, who had once again chased after him with the support of the Konoha intelligence system, Orochimaru sighed helplessly, and finally stopped his escape, standing on a towering ancient tree that had experienced countless wind and rain, and looked condescendingly at Jiraiya, who was wearing a Konoha Kaminobi uniform.

"You really don't want to give up, and you ...... Am I really someone to you who deserves to be stalked to this extent? ”

"Do you need to talk about that!?"

Listening to Orochimaru's question, Jilai was like a lion who had been provoked, and roared at him angrily:

"The name of our Konoha Sannin, but we fought side by side and relied on life and death countless times to fight together, how could I not value a friend like you who once entrusted each other's lives!?"

"Friend......"

Hearing Jiraiya say this term so solemnly, even Orochimaru's eyes couldn't help but fluctuate slightly, but soon, he adjusted his emotions, shook his head and sneered:

"We're all adults who have found our own paths, and since I'm a kid, the children's friend game can't convince my ......"

"How do you know the result if you don't try it!?" Zilai has no intention of giving up, "I will never watch my friends go down the evil path of no return!" ”

"You're still so naΓ―ve."

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya with pity and said faintly:

"Why are you still looking at the world with the same things you learned from ninja school? Never-ending wars, prophecies from the immortals, the passing of old lives, and the birth of new lives, aren't these things enough to make you break away from your simple ninja identity and learn to see the world from a different perspective? ”

"What do you want to say...... What the hell are you trying to say, Orochimaru!? ”

"You see, you, like Sarutobi-sensei, are pathetic people whose souls have been bound by the so-called ninja way......"

Orochimaru shook his head, and his hands began to form the seal of psychic magic.

"Sarutobi-sensei intends to take away my memories and make me give up the results I got through my research, forget the different perspectives I gained through those researches, and become a fool like you who only knows how to think in the way of a ninja, and continue to make sacrifices for the prosperity of Konoha......"

"Don't you think it's funny? When Danzou was alive, he was able to acquiesce to everything Tuanzang did in secret, even if Tuanzang did something out of bounds, he only paid lip service to a few words, but in fact he allowed Danzang to have a power that was barely weaker than his Hokage......

But after Tuan Zang died, he suddenly became iron-faced and selfless, suddenly he couldn't rub sand in his eyes, and suddenly he was going to liquidate me, a disciple who had cooperated with Tuan Zang, and suddenly he was going to make me pay the price of sealing my memory for the mistakes I had committed......"

"The position of the fourth Hokage alternate, he didn't give me, and he didn't give me the position of the second generation leader of the root, and now, he still wants to turn me into a fool like you who is full of only the village and ninja in his head, and go to continue to dedicate and sacrifice for the four generations of Hokage he selected, and continue to sacrifice......"

Looking at Jiraiya, whose face turned blue and white, Orochimaru let out a long breath, and said with a gloomy and cold smile in a cheerful tone with a little venting of his emotions:

"Whether it's a village or a country, it really needs to rely on the way someone makes sacrifices to stumble forward, but why should this victim be me? I finally recognized the truth of this world, and found the path I expected by the sacrifices of others, if I follow you back, those who sacrificed in my hands will not be wasted? ”

"That's enough, Orochimaru!"

Jiraiya burst into a shout, and the whole person rose up on the spot, with a complicated expression that no one could tell what emotions were, he released the large jade spiral pill that was spinning at high speed with his right hand, and attacked in the direction where the big snake pill was located with all his might.

"Is that your answer, Jiraiya? What a disappointment...... Rashomon. ”

The white smoke of the psychic technique burst open, and the huge ghost face gate was cut between the two of them, blocking the attack of the Great Jade Spiral Pill.

Although Jiraiya's attack was quite serious, Rashomon's defense finally canceled out all the power of the Great Jade Spiral Pill, leaving only a tooth-sour sound of metal twisting, and at the moment when the Great Jade Spiral Pill's offensive dissipated, Orochimaru's counterattack followed-

"Wind Escape: Great Breakthrough!"

A fierce storm struck from behind the fallen Rashomon, and hit Jiraiya, who didn't make any defense for some reason, tearing the Konoha Shinobi uniform on his body into a mess, blowing Jiraiya, who had white messy hair like a lion, far away, and after breaking many large trees one after another, he sat slumped in place like a broken marionette and didn't move.

Orochimaru first showed a somewhat surprised expression, but then, he shook his head, and with the same complicated expression, he turned around and left the venue where the two had briefly fought, heading towards a secret stronghold he had established in the course of his mission in the early years.

"Your heart is shaking so much, and you ...... I wonder if today's conversation will be the last straw that crushes your heart? ”

"If it will, the name Konoha Sannin will be completely extinct, right?"

……

Jiraiya lay in the ruins of the forest, staring blankly at the sky.

Every part of the body was in pain because it was so far away from being knocked away by Orochimaru's wind just now, but compared to the pain in Jiraiya's heart, the pain in the body seemed a little unmentionable.

Before catching up with Orochimaru this time, he had thought very seriously about what he could do to make him not have so much resentment towards the village and the teacher if he could bring Orochimaru back to the village.

All the things that were made were pushed to the already dead Tuan Zang, and he tried his best to improve Orochimaru's subjective initiative in those anti-human human experiments and forbidden art research at the root, after all, everyone can see how much power Orochimaru has shed for the village, and everyone can see how much blood he has shed, as long as the high-level does not take the initiative to publicize the mistakes made by Orochimaru, time will soon dissolve the negative public opinion on him.

As for the matter of sealing the memory, Jiraiya has also been prepared to completely bind himself to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's memories don't need to be sealed, and he can continue his research and experiments without harming other people's lives, while he is the one who monitors Orochimaru and is responsible for supervising his every move.

Although this idea may not be able to completely convince the high-level leaders of Konoha, it can at least let them see their attitude, in the case that the external environment of the village is not so good and they can't afford the loss of shadow-level combat power, the high-level leaders of Konoha including Sarufei Sun Slash should be willing to take a step back and no longer be so aggressive to pursue Orochimaru's culpability......

"But now, how can such a thing be said?"

Jiraiya recalled Orochimaru's eyes just now, and closed his eyes with a wry smile.

In those eyes, there is no longer the slightest nostalgia and identification for Konoha anymore. And although Orochimaru's remarks about the ape flying day slash have personal grudges in it, for Jiraiya, who also knows the development process of the village over the years, the problems that Orochimaru said do exist.

"Teacher Ape Fei...... Danzang should be like a big snake pill in my eyes to you, right? Although I know that he is on the wrong path, I can't help but want to favor him, defend him, and let him continue to be active in front of him as a reasonable identity......"

"But if that's the case, I want to persuade Orochimaru to come back, and it won't be possible in itself."

Mixed and confused thoughts emerged from the bottom of his heart at this time, and in Jiraiya's mind for a while, it was Sarutobi's earnest teachings to himself, Orochimaru, and Tsunade, and for a moment it was his absolute trust when he and Orochimaru fought side by side on a mission, and for a moment it was the argument between himself and Orochimaru, who had become more and more gloomy over the years, and for a while, Orochimaru's incomparably cold eyes just now......

"Let's go for a walk."

Jiraiya opened his eyes and sat up from the ground with a sigh.

He didn't know what he wanted to do now, and he didn't know what else he could do when he was dumbfounded by Orochimaru's words, he just wanted to find a different environment to be quiet for a while, so that he, who had received too much information and intelligence over the years, could empty his head a little.

But where can you go to completely empty your brain?

The next moment this question popped up, two strange answers uncontrollably appeared in Jiraiya's brain.

One is the Akatsuki organization run by Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan, and the other is Kirikuin, who is also in the post-war reconstruction and transformation period.

"Let's go to Xiao...... At least, I can still understand Nagato's thoughts. ”

Jilai also had a cold war, and quickly pushed out the latter of his brains, which was quite tempting, but could easily lead to himself being trapped in it.

"But if you want to stay in the Xiao Organization for a while, you can't use your original face...... Otherwise, if Yunyin, Iwakure, and Shayin think that Akatsuki is a 'peace organization' jointly supported by Kigakuin and Konoha, it will be a big deal. ”

"And Xiao absorbed a large number of ninjas from various countries some time ago, and there will definitely be a lot of problems while the strength has increased greatly, if I go to help, Kaguya will pity that little ghost, and there will be no way to laugh at me and say that I am an irresponsible hand-shaking teacher, right?"

"Hmm...... So be it. ”
