Orochimaru's Allah's Lamp

Gloria, the day is full and the day is full.

One was an ordinary jounin who was killed by one move, and the other was the leader of a famous ninja clan. He had the blood inheritance of the pupil technique, and his overall strength was close to the shadow level.

There is a huge difference in strength and status, and no one thinks that the two people are of equal value.

However, when this person has a political halo of being a 'peace messenger', the situation is completely different.

Although "a life for a life" is hard to accept, in fact, it is not too outrageous.

Even if Kumogakure is stronger than Konoha, it will not just be a negotiation at this time, but will be used as an excuse to start a war.

After all, Groga, as the peace envoy, did die in the Hyuga tribe's territory, and was caught red-handed by the envoy.

Scandal, this is an absolute scandal among the major ninja villages.

It doesn't matter that Gloya took the initiative to invade the Hyuga clan's land and kidnapped the clan's heirs... in order to inherit the blood.

The other ninja villages only know: You Konoha, known as the leader of the five ninja villages, can't even fully control your own village. You are really incompetent.

——In your own village, it is normal operation to let him live but not die.

If Konoha hadn't slightly proved its strength in the previous war, it wouldn't be facing Kumogakure's questioning now.

"So, what do you want me to do?"

In an izakaya, Orochimaru put down the cup in his hand and smiled at Jiraiya,

"Why don't you leave this kind of matter to the old man? Instead of this, you should spend your energy on cultivation."

After completing the recuperation of his soul body, he reported to the Sandaime and resumed his previous schedule.

In addition to the research on Bai Zetsu's clone and the usual training of Yakushi Kabuto, Orochimaru also added some taijutsu training in order to adapt the soul body to the body and develop the body's strength to the greatest extent.

As for the only person in the village who could put pressure on him in terms of physical skills, apart from Tsunade, the only one who became a sage was Jiraiya.

In this month, he had gained a lot, and Orochimaru was in a good mood, so he agreed to Jiraiya's invitation to have a few drinks, but now it seemed that the other party was not just for drinking.

"I just can't stand it."

Jiraiya put the finished wine glass on the table, frowned, and his expression became unusually serious, "Although the village's decision has not yet been made, there is already a tendency, and they have decided to agree to Kumogakure's request."

Orochimaru was surprised, "Isn't the old man confused?"

Kumogakure's request was to exchange his life for his own life, to hand over the leader of the wealthy ninja clan of this village, regardless of the reason, it was really a shame.

And Orochimaru couldn't figure out the need to hand over Hinata Hinashi.

"This is not what the old man thinks."

Jiraiya sighed and sneered, "This is the idea of ​​the elders of the Hyuga clan. They say it is for the sake of the family's reputation."

Sabotaging the peace talks and causing the village to lose a large sum of benefits that were about to be obtained was a big stain even for the wealthy ninja clan.

With the precedent of Hatake Sakumo, how could the elders of the Hyuga clan put the family into such a disadvantageous situation.

Of course, it is unknown whether there is any intention to fight for power or gain.

"Isn't this great?"

Orochimaru smiled, but the sarcasm on his face became stronger.

"Hinata has kept her reputation, and the village has gained a lot of benefits. It doesn't count as losing the village's prestige. After all, it was Hinata's initiative."

"Heh...this is the third time I've won."

Forcing someone to sacrifice collectively may look ugly to outsiders, but if that person takes the initiative, then there is no problem.

Even his relatives and friends can't say anything. After all, this is his own choice.

Not respecting his choice is equivalent to disrespecting him. If you don't respect him anymore, there will be nothing to talk about with you.

——It’s perfect, logically closed loop.

But the so-called personal will is actually the hardest thing to figure out, and most of it is controlled by the group and the environment.

Just like the Hyuga clan, when it comes to preserving their reputation, isn't it just to occupy the moral high ground and avoid cold violence in the village?

Orochimaru has no opinion on this. The reality is that there is no right or wrong, it's just different choices.

Besides, he doesn't like Hyuga Hizashi, nor does he like the Hyuga clan.

Snakes who pursue immortality are most disgusted with these things that exude the aura of decay and death.

Living is just a living dead. If you die early, you can contribute pure soul energy to the Pure Land.

"Things are not as simple as you think."

Jiraiya glanced at Orochimaru and sighed, "Hinata's clan elders want Hizashi to die instead of Hizashi."

He has a similar view to Orochimaru. He doesn't value life and death so much. It's just his own choice and he has to bear it.

But Hyuga Hizashi was a comrade of the village. He did not die on the battlefield, but was forced to die by the clan elders. It was really unacceptable.

Jiraiya didn't believe it at all that Hizashi took the initiative to replace Hizashi.

But this matter was the decision of the Hyuga clan, and even had the support of the village's top leaders. He couldn't think of any good solution, so he came to Orochimaru out of desperation.

Orochimaru raised his head and said with a somewhat cold tone, "So, it's not Hinata and Hizashi who are going to die, but Hinata and Hizashi?"

"That's right."

Jiraiya thought that Orochimaru didn't hear clearly, so he repeated it again, "Although I haven't made a decision yet, this is the method given by the Hyuga clan. Hizashi also showed up once and said that he had agreed."

Orochimaru frowned.

In fact, he didn't care much whether the Hyuga clan died or not, but Hyuga Hyuga was different, and he still carried a wish from the djinn.

"Actually, you don't have to worry about that."

The Djinn poked his head out from behind him and smiled,

"His wish has been made. As long as he is not completely destroyed, after the wish comes true, he will definitely get the reward he deserves. No one can give it on credit without my permission."

The djinn's speech was as treacherous and philistine as ever, but it saved him from worries.

There is nothing to lose regardless of this matter.

But it's really unpleasant to see those rotten guys profiting.

"The old man didn't say anything?"

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows, "The affairs of the Hyuga clan are difficult to manage, but Hyuga Hizashi is also a ninja in the village. He has fought in many battles and has made great contributions. As the Hokage, the old man is just watching?"

"Of course the old man didn't agree, but for some reason Hizashi agreed, and the two consultant elders also supported it."

Jiraiya sighed, "Let the branch family die in place of the main family. After this happens, the conflicts in the Hyuga clan will be even greater."

"The split family will be more dissatisfied with the Zong family and move closer to the village."

"And the clan elders will move closer to the village. They occupy the family's righteousness, and they also rely on the power of the village to suppress the branch families."

"It's a win-win for the village."

Jiraiya knocked on the table and said in a deep voice,

"If the old man and Danzo hadn't agreed, the matter might have been settled by now."
