Me and countless me

"If it weren't for me..."

Tsunade grabbed Li Ke's clothes, full of regret. She felt that if she hadn't held Li Ke back, such a thing would never have happened.

Li Ke looked at Kakashi, who was beaten half to death by Orochimaru and was being rescued, and hugged Tsunade's body tightly.

"It's not like that. The battle broke out too quickly. Not only me, but even Minato didn't have time."

Li Ke's words made Tsunade's head completely buried in his arms, and she didn't make any sound, just crying.

In fact, Tsunade also understood this truth.

If the Third Hokage had gone all out, not to mention crippling half of Konoha Village, at least he could have held on until Li Ke put on his clothes.

However, from the outbreak of the battle to the end of the battle, it took no more than ten minutes in total. At least from the situation at the scene, the death time of Sarutobi Hiruzen and his two teammates were very close.

Even when he died, the toxins in his body had not completely erupted, and he was still in the stage of relying on perseverance to resist.

For those who know Sarutobi Hiruzen, the master of ninjutsu, it is clear what this means - if it is not intentional? Can Orochimaru really control him?

Or, is Orochimaru the current opponent of Sarutobi Hiruzen?

No one will believe this, including Orochimaru himself.

Tsunade will understand. From the moment she knew that it was Orochimaru who made the move, she understood what was going on, so she cried so sadly and so painfully.

Soon, Tsunade cried and fell asleep, and Li Ke looked at Shizune who was standing beside her with an embarrassed face, nodded to her, and handed Tsunade to her.

There are still many things to do about the death of the Third Hokage, so Li Ke can't go back for the time being.

Looking at those middle and lower-level ninjas with real sadness on their faces, and those people who cried after seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's body, Li Ke and Namikaze Minato just looked at each other and knew that neither side had the intention of revealing the truth.

Since Orochimaru is willing to bear this responsibility and wants Sarutobi Hiruzen to be the "hero of Konoha" until his death, then let him die as the hero of Konoha and the shadow of Konoha.

As for what happened, it is not important to the villagers of Konoha Village and the middle and lower-level ninjas who only know that Sarutobi Hiruzen has protected them all their lives.

After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen did protect them all their lives.

So, after Li Ke accompanied the crying Sarutobi Asuma and the wife of the third generation to send off the body of the third generation Hokage, he went to see Kakashi with Namikaze Minato, hoping to get specific information from Kakashi.

Just looking at Kakashi who was stabbed more than 30 times by Orochimaru in anger, and each knife accurately bypassed the vital points, blood vessels, and important nerves, the expressions of Li Ke and Namikaze Minato were...

Quite embarrassing.

Kakashi looked at the kiss marks on Li Ke's neck, the scratches and kiss marks on Minato Namikaze's neck, the red hair on his clothes, and the messy clothes of the same style as the two people, and couldn't help but sigh.

"So, why are you two so slow?"

Kakashi spoke expressionlessly. He crushed the life-saving things given to him by the two people in one breath, wanting Konoha's speed combination to block Orochimaru, but the result was that Orochimaru hung him up and stabbed him more than 30 times. The two came after everyone left.

Even the patrolling Anbu arrived at this time!

Even this is the fastest in the ninja world! The strongest in the ninja world!

Pah!

Where's the face!

He felt ashamed!

"I was delayed by something."

Li Ke scratched his cheek awkwardly. His pelvis was broken by sitting. It took several minutes to repair his body, unlock the seal, calm his pupil power and expel toxins, plus put on clothes. By the time he arrived, Kakashi had been hung in the sewer.

But this can't be blamed on him, who would have thought that Kakashi could be killed by Orochimaru in seconds!

Namikaze Minato was even more embarrassed, because he was embarrassed to say that he had eaten two soldiers' ration pills to have the chakra to rush here.

"When the news reached me, I was still sleeping."

I don't believe you two!

Kakashi rolled his eyes without hesitation, but under the treatment of Yakushi Nono and Yakushi Kabuto on the side, his body recovered very quickly, and Orochimaru didn't want to kill him, so he was actually fine. He didn't have that much resentment towards the two people, because nowadays, as long as the ninjas are not patrolling or on missions, they are all making people at home.

But he looked at the wall on the side and couldn't help but speak.

"Is the third generation really dead?"

Although he had a lot of dirty things with the third generation and knew the truth of many things, Kakashi still felt a burst of sadness and sadness.

He still couldn't believe that the third generation who protected the village died just like that.

Kakashi didn't know how to face the death of the Sandaime due to the complicated emotions, and Li Ke and Minato Namikaze also knew this.

"Yes, he died to protect Konoha, and he was a great man."

Minato Namikaze defined the matter, while Li Ke crossed his arms and couldn't help looking in the direction of the Sarutobi family.

He couldn't help but think of Asuma. He had planned to persuade Asuma, but now it seems that no matter how he persuades Asuma, Asuma will not stay in Konoha Village.

Whether it's because of the other party's strange thoughts and ideas, or because his father's death was technically forced by him, Li Ke, Asma probably won't want to see him for a long time. .

and……

Thinking of Sarutobi Hiruzen's care for him in the past, Li Ke also felt very complicated.

"I'm leaving first."

Li Ke left here silently and came to the Hokage Rock. Looking at the night view of Konoha Village, he couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, there was no dead person from the past in his body, and he was the only one left. He had the intention to summon Senju Tobirama and talk to him about this matter, but after thinking about it, he gave up. .

At this moment, a burst of footsteps appeared from behind Li Ke. The moment Li Ke turned his head, what he saw was a person that no one in Konoha Village could have imagined.

"I didn't expect you to be sad about the old man's death."

Orochimaru's pale face appeared in front of Li Ke, but Li Ke recognized it at a glance. This was just the shadow clone left by the other party. Looking at the dull Mitarashi Anko next to him, Li Ke You know what's going on.

It was nothing more than Orochimaru saying goodbye to his disciples, and it seemed that the curse seal had already been planted on Anko.

The curse seal is not only a prop for Orochimaru's reincarnation, but also a powerful auxiliary prop that allows ninjas to master the power of celestial arts without practicing.

The curse seal on Mitarashi Anko is the highest level Heaven's Curse Seal, and according to what he knows, Orochimaru's regard for her, even for meal replacement, can allow Mitarashi Anko to safely obtain the Heaven's Curse Seal at this stage. It can be seen how much thought Orochimaru put into the curse seal.

only--

"Anko doesn't want to leave with you, right?" Orochimaru was silent for a while, then nodded, came to Li Ke's side, and looked at the Hokage Rock in front of him.

"Yes, after all, for that simple child, the reason for worshiping me as a teacher is because she can better get everything in the village. She cares more about everything in the village, not me as a teacher... But This is understandable, after all, I don’t care much about her.”

Orochimaru's voice was calm, not at all like someone who had just killed his teacher, or even his father.

But after finishing speaking, both of them fell into silence, and it was a long time before Orochimaru spoke.

"Don't you ask me why I killed the Sandaime?"

"There are many answers, but it doesn't matter anymore, does it?"

"yes……"

Orochimaru nodded and planned to leave, but at this moment, Li Ke stretched out his hand and handed Orochimaru a scroll, leaving Orochimaru stunned.

"What are you doing?"

"This is some conjecture and verification about the reincarnation of filth, as well as the transfer and manipulation of the human body's vitality. For the current Konoha, this research and scroll are too dark, but for you, Lord Orochimaru."

Li Ke raised his head and looked into Orochimaru's eyes.

"This scroll is just right, isn't it? Whether it's money or territory, you can get great support from those people at this time. You can even use our actions to gain benefits when necessary, and what you want All that needs to be paid is just some subordinates that need to be dealt with. ”

The corners of Orochimaru's mouth gradually raised, he covered his head, and couldn't help laughing.

He was completely relieved, because he realized that he was indeed facing a character like the second generation, a person who was unscrupulous, but at the same time understood that being aboveboard was the right way, and also had the power of the first generation.

Your efforts as a teacher will not be in vain!

But he couldn't help but ask.

"What makes you think...I can do these things?"

He asked seriously, and Li Ke laughed. In the original story, Orochimaru led the Sound Ninja Village and Sand Ninja Village to attack Konoha. Although the purpose was the same as now, it was to give the third generation a decent end. , but he may not have the intention to prove himself to the third generation.

Talent, ability, strategy, and management ability, everything.

In just ten years, he was able to build an alliance from scratch that could reassure the Sand Ninja Village, and he felt that together they could defeat the village of Konoha. This was undoubtedly the last sign of the Sandaime's decision to give up on him. What a refutation!

"You are a person who looks forward, Orochimaru. A person who knows how to look forward will not be someone who cannot control a village."

His words made Orochimaru's laughter completely uncontrollable.

"Hahaha, you are so interesting, Murata Qingtan! It is obvious that the blood of the Murata family is extremely mixed. Even if other ninjas awaken the blood inheritance limit, they will soon die of blood inheritance disease, but it is such an inconspicuous ninja. There is someone like you in the clan... Chakra is so interesting, and fate is so interesting!"

Li Ke tilted his head and looked at Orochimaru who seemed to be going crazy.

"so?"

Orochimaru covered his face and couldn't help but stick out his tongue. His eyes were staring at Li Ke. His laughter was still uncontrollable, but he gradually revealed his enthusiasm.

"I won't be a ninja anymore! Murata Qingtan! This is a rubbish profession!"

He slowly put down his hand, his eyes full of excitement!

"I want to become a daimyo! I want to be the lord of a country and a city! The one before you was actually the lord of a country ruled by ninjas!"

Orochimaru looked at Li Ke and expressed his thoughts, the only path he would take, a path that would replace the pitfalls of Konoha Village!

Do you love the village in the end?

Li Ke was silent for a while. He didn't want to be silent, but things forced him to be silent, and then nodded.

"Very good ambition, Orochimaru."

He is indeed very powerful, but he still cannot attack people's hearts. And if he uses illusions and the like, what is the difference between it and the Eye of the Moon plan?

"Hmph... Then, I'll ask you to take care of my useless disciple."

Orochimaru nodded with satisfaction. Now that Li Ke knew everything and what he thought, it was time for him to end this meeting.

He suddenly pushed Mitarashi Anko in his arms, and Mitarashi Anko, whose memory had obviously been manipulated, fell towards Li Ke. The moment Li Ke went to help Anko, a sword light also moved in the direction of Li Ke. Attack.

Li Ke did not move, but the sword light stopped on its own, because beside Orochimaru, countless trees broke out of the ground, and the sharp blade formed by the ice also flashed with sharp wind blades, revealing its terrifying attack power.

The pollen floating in the air can quickly make people unconscious and paralyzed, making them unable to move.

Li Ke's eyes also turned into white eyes shining with silvery white light at this time, silently looking at Orochimaru, looking at this rebellious nin who 'betrayed' Konoha Village.

"It's time for you to go, Orochimaru."

Seeing Li Ke who easily defused his attack and used several advanced fusion ninjutsu in an instant, Orochimaru couldn't help but lick the corner of his mouth.

"Your eyes are really special."

Li Ke just chuckled.

"You may not be able to get such eyes. After all, for ninjas in this world, the body more or less contains the answer to the ultimate..."

After picking up Mitarai Anko, Li Ke turned around and no longer looked at Orochimaru, but looked at the girl in his arms and sighed.

"Has she forgotten you?"

Li Ke knew that Mitarashi Anko actually admired Orochimaru, but Orochimaru gave another answer.

"She just forgot what choice she made."

That abandoned the choice of his own teacher.

"That's it, don't let it become a memory, Orochimaru, the ninja world in the future will not be that simple..."

Now that the ninja world is in chaos again, he is naturally fine in Konoha, but Orochimaru is different. Without his own power, it is much more difficult for him to stir up trouble than in the original work.

But Orochimaru just smiled softly, and countless snakes appeared out of thin air, slowly wrapping his body, and the moment before disappearing, he left his last words to Konoha.

"I will not become a memory!"

Thus, Konoha's most loyal vanguard officer began an action that was not recognized, recognized, and would not receive any support, for Konoha.
