That night, I couldn't sleep in cross-country.
Although the crisis from Orochimaru has been eliminated, the tense nerves of the cross-country still do not feel relaxed at all. Instead, they become tighter and tighter, like a bowstring that is about to break!
A mission assigned by the Fourth Hokage, cross-country, was successfully completed without any injuries.
pity.
Just for the mission assigned by the Fourth Hokage, Cross Country grew up almost overnight.
In this mission, whether it is the Fourth Mizukage controlled by Madara behind the scenes, the ruthless and almost evil Orochimaru, or Danzo Shimura who still strives to gain more benefits regardless of means, the sun is full of darkness. The Fourth Hokage has given Cross Country a full understanding of what darkness is and what reality is.
What's more, even if Cross Country tries not to think about dark things, but with Orochimaru's precedent, Cross Country combined with his own thoughts, actually has a feeling of "loneliness".
Watching the early stages of the original plot, how does Cross Country view Orochimaru?
At that time, Orochimaru was simply a villain BOSS in the cross-country sense. He first plotted the plan to collapse Konoha, causing the third generation of Hokage to die during the Chunin Examination, which was slowly unfolding. Later, in order to analyze the secret of Sharingan, Orochimaru hoped to seize the body of the Second Pillar of Uchiha, which directly caused the Second Pillar of Uchiha to betray Konoha Village.
Things like this happen, and Orochimaru's impression of off-roading is extremely poor.
However, when watching the later stages of the original plot, Cross Country's view of Orochimaru suddenly changed.
Especially on this night, in the conversation between Cross Country and Orochimaru, there was a faint feeling of confidants, and a faint feeling of sympathy. Combined with the fact that he was about to use the previous "experimental products", as well as the ones in his hands. As for the experiment on that finger, Orochimaru in Cross Country's mind gradually broke away from the feeling of a villain BOSS.
Gradually, that "Cold Lord" Orochimaru actually transformed into a "legendary" image in the minds of cross-country!
"Whether it is in the original plot or in the current Konoha Village, there are too few people who can understand Orochimaru. Even Orochimaru's teacher the Third Hokage, Orochimaru's companions Jiraiya, and Tsunade Hime, They were unable to understand Orochimaru's true thoughts, forcing him to go further and further, and slowly embarked on a lonely routine." "
My previous plan was really ridiculous!"
"I want to use some. It's a little trick to make Orochimaru treat me as the same kind of person. To make a living in such a ridiculous way is simply an insult to people like Orochimaru." "However, the goal has finally been achieved, so there is no need to care about the result.
"
" On the contrary, Orochimaru, in just a few years, you will break up with Konoha and embark on the path of loneliness and villain BOSS for the sake of ninja in your heart." "
You must be very lonely on that road . Right?"
"Is it because you let go of me who used little tricks?" "
The way you look at me is the same as you were when you were young?"
He thought to himself, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. sneer.
Especially when I recalled the various plots in the original work, and when I recalled the scene of Orochimaru rebelling against the Leaf Village, and knowing how many dark cross-country activities were hidden in the Leaf Village, I really looked down on the Third Hokage, and even my own. My mentor is the Fourth Hokage!
Just by conducting some human experiments, the Third Hokage forced Orochimaru to betray Konoha Village.
At that time, why didn't the Third Hokage think about the Second Hokage?
How many human experiments did the Second Hokage conduct to develop a forbidden technique like the Earth Reincarnation?
And Danzo Shimura!
That disgusting guy who had been using Orochimaru to transform his own arm.
Just one arm, how many pairs of Sharingan does it have?
It was built at the cost of the lives of many Uchiha clan ninjas?
Such a guy has not betrayed Konoha Village. Before he died, he still looked majestic and dedicated only to Konoha. Don't you feel blushing?
The more thoughts he had in his mind, the more he couldn't control the ridicule in his heart.
Even after successfully returning to Konoha Village, Cross Country remained silent and refused to allow strangers to enter. He wanted to thank the God of Cross Country Itachi, but he couldn't help showing an embarrassed look, not knowing what the Cross Country was. What are the changes for?
What happened next was almost as expected from the off-road speculation.
Transformed into an ordinary ninja school student, no longer an Anbu identity, the moment Cross Country, Itachi God and others stepped into Konoha Village, the Anbu of the Fourth Hokage came to escort them.
When arriving at the Hokage's office, the Fourth Hokage had already dealt with the public opinion that was about to start in Konoha Village.
During the Ninja School training mission, they were attacked by the Mist Ninja, and all the Ninja School students were killed except for Cross Country, Itachi God, and the leader Lin.
The final result was that the relationship between Konoha and the Mist Ninja further deteriorated, and the peace talks were postponed.
The Uchiha clan's guard failed to protect the internal safety of the Fire Country, and its power was further weakened. The Hyuga clan came to power with the help of the Fourth Hokage, and it was a bit of an advantage in the competition with the Uchiha clan for the rich.
However, when the Fourth Hokage was dealing with these matters, the Fourth Hokage did not notice that Cross Country's eyes became colder and colder in the Hokage's office.
Immediately afterwards, some follow-up matters were dealt with the next day.
On the day he returned to Konoha Village, Crossroads successfully handed Lin over to the Fourth Hokage, then said goodbye to Itachi in a hurry, returned home and hid two secret scrolls.
Among the two secret scrolls, the first scroll contained the limbs of those "experimental subjects", which were used to conduct cross-country experiments on the new characteristics of "annihilation" of wind attribute chakra.
What was sealed in the second scroll was the finger that was stolen from Orochimaru off-road.
These things are not things that can be put on the surface, so off-road naturally has to be hidden, and placed together with the previous Nara clan secret skill scrolls and the scrolls that Ding Zao gave to off-road.
The things to be dealt with the next day were the cross-country trip and the Fourth Hokage's report on the entire process of the mission.
In front of the Fourth Hokage, Cross Country must not be cold and cold, but should cooperate with the Fourth Hokage as much as possible, just like in the previous contact with the Fourth Hokage, his performance was very good.
On the contrary, the Fourth Hokage did not notice the slightest change in Cross Country.
Listening to the whole process of the mission execution bit by bit by Cross Country, I received another information scroll from Cross Country, which was the intelligence scroll about the shady deal between Cross Country and Master Ban.
Browsing the contents of the information scroll, the Fourth Hokage's expression became worse and worse.
Obviously, knowing that Danzo Shimura was playing tricks on him while cooperating with the Fourth Mizukage and Orochimaru, the Fourth Hokage felt a fire in his heart. Even if he had the information scroll in his hand, he could severely When Shimura Danzo was suppressed, the Fourth Hokage could not control his emotions.
Then, taking a deep breath and trying to stabilize his emotions as much as possible, the Fourth Hokage looked at the cross-country in front of him, patted the cross-country heavily on the shoulder, and said: "Xiao-chi, you have really worked hard this time."
" Sorry, before you carried out the mission, I never thought that so many things would happen during the mission." "
Whether it is the Fourth Mizukage or Orochimaru's character, I know something about it." "
You can do it smoothly. Bringing back Lin, and Uchiha Itachi, as your teacher, I need to thank you." "
But."
As he said that, a flash of embarrassment flashed in the eyes of the Fourth Hokage, and then he sighed: "But, off-road, so many things happened in the village, I think it's useless to reward you. And, if there are no accidents, you may have to stay in the ninja school for a while. After all, the village is in a special period. , if you leave suddenly"
"Maybe. Maybe"
"Maybe your plan to deal with Shimura Danzo will be temporarily shattered?"
The fourth Hokage did not say the following words, but it was a pity that Cross Country had guessed it early.
What's more, when the Fourth Hokage talked about Orochimaru, he didn't mean to use honorifics at all. Cross Country discovered that the ambition of the Fourth Hokage has no limit for the time being.
Therefore, when Cross Country talked with the Fourth Hokage later, he listened to whatever the Fourth Hokage said without any intention of disobeying him.
However, after leaving the Fourth Hokage, Cross Country did not return home to practice or conduct the next stage of research.
After leaving the Fourth Hokage's home, Cross Country quickly got rid of the ANBU sent by the Fourth Hokage and secretly went to the Hokage's office.
There, the person who Cross Country asked to meet was surprisingly Danzo Shimura!
"Haha, Minato, you are really too young. Being young has to pay a certain price!" "
Nara Cross Country has betrayed you. The next person to betray you
is Hatake Kakashi!"
