Konoha's Destiny Twins

Orochimaru chose to come directly to Qingshui at this moment, obviously he was quite confident.

It seems that the experiment of "sealing part of the power of the tailed beasts" mentioned at Mount Kikyo has made breakthrough progress.

But it's too much of a coincidence to come to the door at this time.

It happened that during the battle for the position of the Fourth Hokage, Orochimaru said that he had an idea?

It always felt like Orochimaru never gave up on this experimental idea, or that the results had already been obtained, and he only used it as a bargaining chip at the really critical moment.

After all, Orochimaru knew very well that Shimizu's current importance in the top management of Konoha was inseparable from the importance of the Third Hokage and Jiraiya, as well as his good relationship with Minato.

Once there is a fundamental difference of interest between the two parties, the probability of Shimizu siding with Minato will greatly increase.

Can a previous transaction agreement alone bind the other party? Would someone like Orochimaru bet his hopes on this?

This is obviously impossible.

So Orochimaru also left himself a back-up in case of emergency.

The more I think about it, the more likely it is.

"I wonder if Yuzuki-kun is still interested?" Orochimaru's expression was full of inquiry.

"Is it to seal part of the tailed beast's power into the body without becoming a Jinchuriki?"

"Yes."

"Has your experiment been successful?"

"certainly."

With Orochimaru's personality, if there is a reliable experiment, he will definitely apply it to himself, just like the wood escape in the past.

Then if the experiment really succeeds, wouldn't Orochimaru's strength be...

"Then your chakra..."

"It's a pity that the first experimenter was not me, but Er Yue."

"!!!"

That Orochimaru's illegitimate son? !

"In the past, because Er Yue could not refine chakra, it was impossible to become a ninja through normal methods, let alone follow our training route."

"Later, although I refined the improved Hero Water and successfully started his ninja path, his talent was too ordinary."

"If he continues like this, he will never be able to reach the realm of jounin in his life."

"So I once thought about whether part of the tailed beast's chakra could be sealed in Er Yue's body, so that he could break the confinement of this talent and advance to the next level."

"And now, finally, my experiment has succeeded!"

Therefore, this experiment of sealing part of the tailed beast's power in the body without becoming a Jinchuuriki was specially set up for Er Yue.

It is the refined hero water again, and countless tailed beast sealing experiments have been tried specifically for it...

You also said that this kid is not your illegitimate son? !

"You're... so kind to him." Qing Shui lamented that this kid named Er Yue had a bright future. Uncle Snake, the Hokage's number one scientist, helped to open up a path in life and overcome obstacles.

Even if your talent is negative, it can give you a dreamy start with shadow-level chakra.

This amount of chakra is what many people dream of.

"Are they really just picked up war orphans?"

"What do you think, Mr. April?"

"Your illegitimate son." Qing Shui blurted out.

Orochimaru's face stiffened for a moment, and then the poisonous snake replied unnaturally: "Yuyuki-kun is joking."

"Really? I think there's something wrong with your face?"

In the past, Qing Shui would never have chosen to get to the bottom of it, because it was very rude to rashly inquire into a person's secrets.

Especially the bond between him and Orochimaru, which is based on certain interests.

If the interests can be maintained, then it will be stable; but when the interests fade away, how many people can tolerate such a peek?

Now, with great difficulty, the topic of "The Fourth Hokage's position" has opened up the conversation...

Don’t ask when we will wait for more at this time.

Orochimaru then showed his iconic cold smile: "Yuyuki-kun really want to know?"

"if you do not mind.

"

Orochimaru pondered for a moment and replied after a moment: "After I become the Fourth Hokage, I will tell everything truthfully."

"Because speaking of it, this is also related to April Lord."

"What?" Qing Shui thought for a moment that he heard wrong, "You said Er Yue is related to me?"

It can't be so bloody, right?

Qingshui accidentally killed Eryue's parents in a certain mission, causing Eryue to become a war orphan. However, Orochimaru brought him back to Konoha...

"Yes, but this matter is a taboo." Orochimaru licked his lower lips, "Please wait patiently, April-kun."

"Only after I become the Fourth Hokage can I tell you all this."

"Young Yuki-kun, can you understand my determination to achieve the position of Fourth Hokage?"

"Yes." Qing Shui nodded slightly to express understanding.

Orochimaru really tried his best for the position of Hokage, even at the expense of himself.

You need to know how many times the opponent's mission is to bait yourself to achieve the final victory.

This courage alone is enough to make people admire him.

Such people, once they have a clear goal, will do whatever it takes to achieve it.

Because the other party can even gamble with his own life, so what else can't be sacrificed?

If he doesn't agree to Orochimaru's current deal and goes back on his previous deal, how will the other party react?

"Don't you think, April-Jun, that life is too fragile?"

"Let's just talk about the Third Ninja War that just ended. How many ninjas have been sacrificed in the past few years? This is a huge number that neither you nor I can estimate."

The two of them stood on the Hokage Rock, with a panoramic view of the entire Konoha Village.

In the distance, a mother and son are worshiping the portrait of a middle-aged man; a pair of parents are crying for their lost parent and son; and an infatuated lover chooses to continue waiting for the return of his lover...

Orochimaru said solemnly: "Because of the war, lovers were separated and families fell apart..."

"And once people die, they never come back."

He suddenly turned around and looked at Qing Shui: "I think April Lord is also deeply touched by this, right?"

"Missions mean casualties, and war is even more so. You and I have both experienced this." Qing Shui replied softly.

"Then April-Jun, have you ever thought about letting your former best friends and subordinates come back again?"

I thought about it...but that was not an existence that April Qingshui could hope for.

Whether it is the reincarnation of dirty land or the natural reincarnation technique of heretics, the difficulty of acquiring these techniques is already as high as heaven, not to mention the stringent requirements for the practitioners or the heavy price after the operation, so the so-called "resurrection" is also It became an unattainable fantasy.

"Yiyuki-kun is silent. It seems that he has really thought about it." Orochimaru showed an extremely interested look, "However, the reality is so cruel. How can a person be resurrected after death?"

"You want to say you can raise the dead."

"April-kun's guess is good." Orochimaru smiled, then nodded and said, "I can indeed resurrect the dead."

"but?"

"But the drawbacks of that technique are too great, and the resurrected person only has a soul and no real body. This is not resurrection in the true sense."

"You want to improve this technique?"

"Yes."

"So we need the position of Yondaime Hokage?"

"Only the position of Hokage allows me to carry out these studies legitimately." After a brief pause, Orochimaru continued, "And the resources required for the research and development of forbidden techniques are too huge, and it is really unsustainable for me alone."

"Orochimaru, was there someone you wanted to save, but ended up regretting that person was left behind?"

Orochimaru hesitated slightly, then affirmed: "Yes."

"Can you tell me who it is?"

"It's one of my former disciples...his name is Nogeki." Orochimaru said with a nostalgic look, "I think Yuki-kun should also remember this person."

Nasuki is the younger brother of Tsunade, one of the Sannin of Konoha, a disciple of Orochimaru who first emerged in the Second Ninja War, and is known as the rising star of the revival of the Senju clan.

But these halos are not the fundamental reason why Qing Shui remembers him.

His biggest feature is that he spreads his dream of becoming Hokage in the future, thus making it known to everyone.

If you have to say it, it is somewhat similar to Naruto.

A hot-blooded fool.

However, the difference is that Naruto finally realized his lie, but Naoki was frozen at the age of 12 forever.

He died in the cold detonating talisman trap, and his internal organs were removed when he was found.

After Naoki's death, there was also a rumor: Orochimaru and Tsunade officially parted ways, and the cold and ruthless Orochimaru also shed tears for others for the first time, but everything was too late.

However, Qingshui has never seen the venomous snake in front of him shed tears for anyone, so he has always been skeptical of this rumor.

After all, a refined egoist will not consider the feelings of others.

Unless, he also meets the person who can hurt him.

Is it a rope tree?

Or Tsunade?

After all, it was a secret many years ago, and everything had long passed away with the end of the Second Ninja War.

"You want to resurrect the Rope Tree?"

"I once thought about it..." Orochimaru said quietly, "But now my words have lost their original meaning."

"But I will continue to perfect that technique."

"Life is too fragile. If possible, I want to give life a second chance."

Improve the reincarnation of dirty land? !

If a village could help Orochimaru, it might not be impossible.

But if life is given a second chance, will people still cherish this hard-won life?

However, such ethical issues are not something he needs to consider in April Qingshui, because in reality, with such a technique, many tragedies can indeed be saved, and it can also give those ninjas who perform tasks in desperate situations a chance to survive.

As long as it is controlled and utilized well, the emergence of this technique will add considerable strength to Konoha.

Then, Orochimaru sighed heavily: "And today's Konoha, although it has won the war, is really weak."

"Minato is indeed a very good candidate for Hokage, but he is too kind."

"If he becomes Hokage, the politicians from the other four major countries will seize on his kindness and attack him..."

"I'm worried that Konoha will be divided and disintegrated by them... The teacher missed the opportunity to truly get rid of these shackles because the teacher was too concerned about some things."

In Shimizu's view, the Sandaime Hokage's governing style is that of a leader who balances benevolence and ambition, but also has perseverance and courage.

But to achieve true perfection, this is simply impossible.

People will eventually be affected by their own instincts and the decline of their strength as they age.

The Sandaime Hokage was unwilling to let Konoha take risks because of the huge losses, and finally adopted a conservative strategy; but in Orochimaru's view, as long as he takes one more step forward, the sky will be brighter.

That's the difference.

Today's Orochimaru has such an indomitable and majestic momentum!

"And I will never make such a mistake again."

"I think April-Jun must also have his own views on war."

"Blinding tolerance and kindness cannot bring you the desired results."

Today's Konoha really needs a hero who can die for Konoha.

Although Danzo is also a hero in a sense, he cherishes his life too much.

Orochimaru's powerful ninja who dares to put himself in danger and then reborn from Nirvana is the best candidate for Hokage in the eyes of ordinary ninjas, and those in the jounin class are not all confused. Whoever becomes Hokage is more beneficial to Konoha , in fact, they already knew it well.

It's just that the selection of Hokage is not only related to Konoha's interests in the ninja world, but also the distribution of interests among the factions within Hokage...

Orochimaru's behavior was not recognized by Konoha's higher-ups.

So after Orochimaru said so much, Qingshui suddenly realized that he had been persuaded by Orochimaru.

So there was only one last question left: "Is the genin who disappeared in the Death Forest related to you?"

An unsolved case from that year has not yet been solved. At that time, Shimizu thought that Orochimaru was the culprit.

And no matter how much the Anbu investigated, they could not find out the truth behind the disappearance of the genin boy.

It's really like disappearing from the world.

"Are Yuki-kun suspicious of me?" Orochimaru smiled, "Although I do human experiments, the subjects of the experiments are all refugees or rebellious ninjas."

"At the moment I can't do such a thing to attack people in my own village."

This explanation is barely passable.

And there is no real evidence...

"So, how did you achieve the method of sealing part of the tailed beast's power that you mentioned?"

"Can I think that Mr. April has made a choice?"

"Yes."

"It's not easy." Orochimaru sighed softly.

"But Orochimaru, there is one thing I hope you understand." Qingshui said in a deep voice, "I did not make this choice for this deal this time."

Because only in terms of the new crises that Konoha needs to face now, Konoha really needs such a hero to fight for more benefits for Konoha.

"Maybe I am selfish, but I also sincerely hope that this village can continue to be prosperous and strong."

"You made me see this possibility, so I chose you."

"So, don't let down my expectations easily."
