"What? You don't want to stay with us? Jiraiya rebuked and shouted, "We have been friends for many years! That's what you do to your old friends? ”

“… I also know that with more free time, I am more willing to do research. ”

"Research is more important than old friends, isn't it?"

"It's all important."

"Then you won't be able to spare time, will you?"

"If you have the chance..."

"Heh, perfunctory."

Jiraiya shook his head.

Orochimaru smiled helplessly.

Then, there was silence for a while.

Jiraiya said: "I know, you are actually a very emotional person. ”

Orochimaru smiled and didn't deny it.

"Although you are very ruthless at times." Jiraiya said: "But your ruthlessness is because of the deep emotions in your heart. ”

Orochimaru shook his head.

"I don't have any feelings for you."

Jiraiya smiled bitterly.

"I'm really emotional, but a lot of people are also unhappy with me...... Because I can sacrifice feelings for the sake of ideals. ”

"I can also sacrifice my feelings for the sake of my ideals."

"Really?" Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya looked at each other.

Tsunade next to him supported his face with his hands, and seemed very silent.

For a while, the atmosphere had a strange contemplation.

Finally, Tsunade spoke, and this time, it was Tsunade's turn.

"Before your family died, you were a very laughing child." Tsunade spoke, facing Orochimaru, and she said, "After your family died, you lost your smile. ”

“……”

"You value your family very much, you value your feelings very much, but because you have lost it, you don't want to pay attention to it, because you are afraid, afraid of continuing to lose, which is why you have later...... And then. You have it again, but after you have it, you're still afraid of losing. Orochimaru, you have returned to the most essential you, and the most essential you, what you will not be willing to accept, is likely to be happening. ”

Orochimaru smiled.

It's just that this time the smile has a hint of depression.

"You see it."

"yes."

Jiraiya opened his mouth, poured himself a small drink, and drank it gently.

"He's not trying to betray you." Jiraiya seems to have defended himself.

But Orochimaru understood who he was justifying.

"I don't want to reprimand Dou." He said, picking up the wine that Jiraiya had poured for him again, took a sip and said, "I taught him, I made him cherish everything now, so he should do it, everything that matters most to him is here, even if he respects me very much, he must protect everything he cherishes." ”

“…… Is that data real? Tsunade asked.

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade.

The smile on his face seemed to dissolve, and gradually lost its luster.

"I hope it's just a mistake."

He said.

Shook his head.

"For this reason, I have gone through a lot of calculations and presuppositions, just to prove that the possibility of this is very small, and everything is unfounded, but the more rigorous the argument, the result will point to the last place..."

"So you."

"I have to go to her, maybe that's hope."

“…… Do you think the village will allow it? Jiraiya asked.

On the wine table not far away, a man turned his head and took off his disguise.

White hair, cold eyes.

Across from him sat a man with long black hair and a somewhat silent expression at the moment.

Outside the izakaya, crows are densely covered.

On a billboard not far away, a pair of red eyes rotated, and the figure standing above looked at the izakaya below.

The figure wearing the Hokage Mikatan robe stood on the roof of the building next to it.

Next to him, there was another person who was silently smoking a cigarette.

There was another person, who pushed his glasses.

In the science class.

Look through the equipment of the science class and watch it all.

"I'm sorry, teacher." He said, "This is what you taught me... I don't want it to come to this. ”

"Orochimaru." He said solemnly: "Tie your hands, we won't do anything to you when we think of your contribution to the village." ”

"Second generation adults." Orochimaru turned to Kazuma and asked, "Between the village and the first adult, who would you choose?" ”

There was silence between the doors.

Pillar glanced at the door and sighed.

Then he said to Orochimaru: "Kazuma has always said that you are a very rational and profit-oriented guy, and I actually don't like it very much...... But now, I realize that I wish you were the kind of person I said you were. ”

"The second generation of adults is also a very sensible, profit-oriented guy, he would rather sacrifice everything for Konoha, the first generation of adults, what do you say it is for?"

He snorted.

There was silence between the pillars.

At this time, Jiraiya opened his mouth and tried to persuade Orochimaru with kind words: "Orochimaru, stay, maybe with the help of the manpower and material resources of the village, you can solve your troubles?" ”

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya.

Jilai was also looked at like this, and gradually felt a little embarrassed.

But in embarrassment, he still looked at it toughly.

"I'll leave you something."

Orochimaru said.

"Do you really think you'll be able to go?" He said coldly.

Orochimaru shook his head.

"I know Konoha very well, maybe I know the best here, even if it is adjusted, Konoha will not be your help."

"But there are so many of us here."

"As I said, I know Konoha better than you do, and I'm not alone."

"Is she coming to pick you up herself?" Tsunade asked solemnly.

Orochimaru did not answer.

He suddenly moved.

This made the people in the izakaya have to move too.

All teamed up to restrain him.

Outside, the crows fluttered and fluttered, setting up barriers.

The ferret also stops water with assistance.

Wearing the figure of the god robe, Kakashi's hand was already grasping the short knife behind his back, but it was not aimed at Orochimaru, what he had to do was to guard against the person who was likely to receive Orochimaru, she ...... That is, the moon.

The same is true for three generations.

The two of them are here to carry out this kind of defense, and it is the job of the others to restrain and catch Orochimaru.

"If the teacher had done it himself, I might have been taken down."

Such a voice can be heard from the izakaya.

At this moment, something suddenly pierced the barrier set by the water stop and the Itachi, and they didn't react at all.

The next moment, Orochimaru appeared in mid-air.

An illusory burst out of the izakaya, with a wonderful fluctuation like a jump, and appeared in front of Orochimaru.

"Give me, stay!" He scolded.

But the next moment, the water wave was easily cut off.

"What?"

The second Hokage looked incredulous.

And then the next moment, something appeared in the background.

"You're too weak, Second Hokage-sama."

A strong sense of crisis, behind the second Hokage.

"Stop!"

The firelight rushed in an instant, moving like light.

Then one hand was pressed against the firelight, and the layers of unspeakable invisible barriers could not be broken through.

In the disbelief of the water-stopping face.

The hand grabbed him by the neck and pulled him out of the fire.

"Too weak, Uchiha's number one powerhouse...... If it's Madara, then I'll have to take it seriously, but it's a pity for you. ”

The voices under the helmet are a little hard to hear.

And on one of the roofs below, the three generations of Hokage clenched their fists.

The helmet man seemed to sense something and looked down.

"It's horrible, it's old-timer. But I don't need to go toe-to-toe with you. ”

Suddenly, the figure flickered, flickered for a while, and then stopped.

A will completely enveloped him.

At this moment, a hand pressed on his shoulder, it was Orochimaru.

Something emerged from Orochimaru's body, breaking through the shrouded will in an instant, even if it was only for a moment...... Correct the gap in this moment.

The helmet man was carrying the Great Snake Pill and disappeared in an instant.

Left behind the ugly crowd in the scene.

On the other side, somewhere in the middle of nowhere, the helmet man who came here with Orochimaru raised his hand, as if he was going to wipe a handful of sweat on the black helmet.

The first two chapters seem to be numbered wrong...... ay
