Chapter 344
In other words, what remains in Orochimaru's heart now is only a little vigilance and defense left under the influence of that cautious style...
These vigilances that were almost symbolic, seem so insignificant, compared with the children who ran away from home who seemed to be angry and ran away from home in an instant, and the feeling of grievance and relief that surged into their hearts instantly, they seemed so insignificant. In a sense, Orochimaru still felt doubt and distrust than the authenticity of Naruto's words. It would be better to say that they were waiting for Naruto to give a more reasonable explanation so that they could let go of the resentment and hatred that had been accumulated deep in their hearts over the years and gradually became increasingly intense.
"Why did Grandpa Jiraiya be able to travel around the village freely and freely based on his personal wishes and preferences over the years, never being bound by the rules of the village. Why did Grandpa Miraiya willingly take the face down and take the initiative to seek help from the Uchiha clan..."
Fortunately, Naruto, who was good at observing words and expressions, saw Orochimaru's obvious relaxed appearance, naturally nodded slightly with a smile on his head, but he did not let Orochimaru wait for even a second for a long time. Instead, he was quite tactful and continued to talk with shaking his head.
"I believe Lord Orochimaru guessed the reason for all this, right? That is all for the slightest compensation thoughts you made over the years, living alone outside the village, and the slightest compensation thoughts you made."
Of course, if Orochimaru's IQ is normal online, Naruto would be 100% sure of this kind of statement. Orochimaru would not believe it at all, and he could easily see it out!
After all, the reason why Orochimaru was expelled from Konoha Ninja Village was not just because he was conducting research on forbidden techniques. The more important reason was that Orochimaru had an indispensable human experiment in order to meet the research. Not only were the enemy's prisoners tragically killed, but even many of the residents and ninjas in Konoha Ninja Village were quietly captured by Orochimaru and acted as the subject of human experiments. This led to the demise of many lives and the breaking of the family. In this process, Orochimaru's hands were no longer stained with the blood of the enemy, but also stained with the blood of his own people!
This sin is what made the third Hokage who cares about Konoha Ninja Village completely disappointed with Orochimaru. After all, before witnessing it with his own eyes, even though rumors were already spreading in the village, the third Hokage still did not believe that Orochimaru would do such a thing... In other words, before Orochimaru's deeds were misleading, the third Hokage could be regarded as covering up Orochimaru's actions in another way - and then choose to do it yourself, expelling this disciple who was once high hopes from the village, and define it as an important reason why he would never set foot in Konoha Ninja Village in this life!
In this way, without stopping or trying to keep him, just watching Orochimaru defect, the choice of the three-generation Hokage is already the greatest concession that the third-generation Hokage can make against his original heart... How could the third-generation Hokage ignore all the sins committed by Orochimaru before Orochimaru takes the initiative to admit his mistake and atone for the sins, and secretly arrange people and pay attention to Orochimaru's every move?
In the final analysis, Sarutobi Hinaru, in addition to being Orochimaru's mentor, he also acts as the pillar of Konoha Ninja Village.
And this identity is destined. No matter how sad the third generation Naruto Naruto defected to his beloved disciple, he could not do whatever he wanted like the free and easy Jiraiya. It is even more impossible to show his concern for Orochimaru with actions without reservation like Jiraiya for ten years!
But then again, even if the fact is indeed the case... But if Orochimaru believed it, what if the third generation Naruto really did these things?
So, what powerful impact should such a strong contrast bring to Orochimaru, one of the parties involved?
"Teacher is to compensate me for... to...? Humph, stop kidding!"
Because it was to reveal all the possibilities in the imagination, Naruto seemed to be particularly calm and calm in his verbal response. So when Orochimaru faced Naruto's righteousness and could not see any flaws, his already shaking heart naturally became more and more shaky. Then, after his teeth were silenced for a short while, it was to bluff Naruto, and it seemed that he could not cross the threshold in his heart - especially since Naruto just told him that Orochimaru's Akatsuki's organization was located, there was a very likely existence in the Akatsuki organization where Orochimaru was located, which could allow Orochimaru to gain the ability of immortality that he had dreamed of, so that Orochimaru's ambitions collided dozens of times in an instant. As he narrowed his slender snake eyes slightly, he tried to restrain his urge to relax, and he shouted and responded with a trembling response.
"At that time, the teacher himself took the initiative to expel me from the Konoha Ninja Village. How could he......!"
However, Naruto, who is well versed in the way of making iron while it is hot, obviously would not give Orochimaru too much refutation or awaken his consciousness. So before Orochimaru could even speak out all the guilty words with a little quibbling meaning. Naruto gradually calmed down his smile and spoke again, blocking Orochimaru's remaining refutation words in his throat.
"You also said that the ending you got in that incident was just expulsion..."
With a slight brow raised, Naruto still had a little baby fat tender face, and he had long lost his previous fear. Then, he raised his hand slightly, shook his index finger lightly at Orochimaru, and spoke again as if he was pointing out, and continued to speak on his own.
"As a disciple of the third generation Naruto Grandpa, you should know better than me how powerful the third generation Naruto Grandpa is..."
"What's more, in that incident, if I was not wrong, you should be in a dangerous state of isolation and helplessness... If it were normal for you, in the case of the third generation of Naruto Grandpa, it would have been a desperate situation of death without life for you."
"But why in the end, Grandpa Naruto was 'severely injured' and was unable to continue pursuing. But you were able to escape safely from the village... I think, as the disciple of Grandpa Naruto, you should know more clearly than I do, right?"
These slander-like questions were not Naruto's random bluffing Orochimaru, or underestimating Orochimaru's strength too much...but a rough comparison and estimate made under tangible evidence.
You should know that from the performance of the original work - that is, during the Chunin exam, Orochimaru cooperated with the first-generation Hokage and the second-generation Hokage who were reborn in the filthy land to fight against the third-generation Hokage. This extremely unfavorable three-to-one battle process. The strength of the third-generation Hokage is definitely worthy of the reputation of the professor of the Ninja Realm, and the ninjutsu god he inherited from the first-generation Hokage, this famous name!
After all, although Orochimaru's mastery of the reincarnation technique of the 3rd-Day Hokage was not completely perfect when fighting against the third-Day Hokage. In addition, the physical strength of the Yinnin Village ninja who served as a sacrifice was far less powerful than Bai Jue trapped in the later plot of the original work. Even the first-Day Hokage and the second-Day Hokage summoned through the reincarnation of the 3rd-Day Hokage completely erased their self-consciousness in order to prevent the possibility of the two turning against each other in the battle, and became combat puppets controlled by Orochimaru. As a result, the strength of the first-Day Hokage and the second-Day Hokage was greatly reduced compared to the real strength during their lifetime, and they could not fully exert their own feelings...
But if you think about it from another perspective, the third generation of Naruto during that period was not at its peak of strength!
Because of his old age, the physical strength of the third-generation Hokage is far less than that of his youth. In addition, the opponents he faces are not only the disciples who have been caring for and cultivating wholeheartedly, but also the first-generation Hokage and the second-generation Hokage whom he respects very much. It makes it difficult for the third-generation Hokage to rise up the fighting spirit at the beginning of the battle. He also failed to make up his mind to fight with all his strength at the first time!
But even so, the third generation Naruto, who fights against three, is still not at a disadvantage!
If it is crushed, then it may be easy to fight against three with one... But don't forget that in addition to the two previous Narutos, Orochimaru was also a real Shadow-level powerful man at that time. He did not show any mercy when he started to fight! So in the early stage of the battle, the third-generation Naruto who was unable to raise the fighting spirit, fought against three powerful men of the same level [the imperfection of the reincarnation of the first-generation Naruto and the second-generation Naruto]!
It is precisely because of this that Naruto concluded that when Orochimaru's crime was exposed and he was alone, even without the support and help from Anbu beside him, Naruto himself had the ability to kill Orochimaru on the spot!
The reason why I failed to do this was already a terrible reason - even when Orochimaru's crime was exposed and the evidence was conclusive, as Orochimaru's teacher, he almost regarded Orochimaru as his son, and regarded it as his own son, and raised it from childhood. The third generation of Naruto, who taught him, could not do that ruthlessly!
Of course, this point is not only understood in Naruto's heart... Orochimaru, as the person involved, is also clear about the reason behind this after years of repeated thinking and reminiscing!
After all, Naruto can only guess the true thoughts and personality of the third generation Naruto from the description of the original plot and the limited time spent this year.
But Orochimaru is different... He was raised by the third Hokage from the moment his parents passed away. In addition, in terms of understanding the third Hokage, let alone Naruto, even Jiraiya, who was slightly later than Orochimaru and accepted as his disciple by the third Hokage, was far inferior to Orochimaru!
“…”
It was precisely because Naruto was more or less aware of the existence of this significant gap when he thought about it from the other side that Orochimaru, who had originally planned to argue with a dying struggle, seemed to be hit by the vital point. Even though his heart was filled with emotions, he seemed to have endless reasons to refute. But after his lips were silently opened and closed for a while, he could not say a single word!
"...Hmph, interesting little guy. He speaks one by one... If it weren't for his appearance, no one would believe that you are just a young child, right?"
After a while of silence, Orochimaru's distorted ambition, which had been expressed in words, had long since disappeared without a trace. He obviously put down his past grudges and completely believed what Naruto said. Then he raised his lips a little, responding with a smile. Even Orochimaru's signature hoarse and low voice became softer in this silent voice.
"I have figured it out completely. Why do Jiraiya and the teacher love you so much... Let's talk it straight, and have tried their best to say so much nonsense. What do you want me to do?"
I have said before that Orochimaru is not an idiot... It is precisely because of this that even though Naruto's words were guided, he still inevitably failed at this last moment, making Orochimaru realize something was wrong.
That was what Naruto admitted that Orochimaru had better understanding of the three-generation Naruto than Naruto. Then, after careful consideration, Orochimaru made it difficult to conclude that his teacher who seemed too rigid and stubborn in front of Dayi could not have done so many things for himself who had become a rebellious man. In the silent observation before, Naruto was vaguely aware of Naruto's attempt to match Tsunade and Jiraiya, the couple's thoughts. Thinking of Naruto's words, it was very likely that Naruto planned it himself!
However, even if Orochimaru suddenly woke up and saw through all this...
But facing the smiling little guy in front of him, Orochimaru was not at all angry or dissatisfied. Instead, there was a hint of loss and a smile of relief.
After all, no matter what Naruto wanted him to do... but at least one thing was something Orochimaru could really confirm at the moment.
That is...
Just like the idiot Jirai who doesn't know how to give up...
From beginning to end, the little guy in front of me was trying sincerely to persuade me to turn back...
