Orochimaru's Allah's Lamp

Chapter 287 Gaara

In Sunagakure Village, the ninja that Orochimaru is most familiar with is the Red Sand Scorpion.

The two have different pursuits, but they have something in common with each other, especially after Scorpio made himself a puppet and achieved alternative immortality.

Abandoning the body and only preserving the chakra soul body, this method not only improves skills, but also gives up one's own growth, not to mention that it cannot solve the wear and tear problem of the spirit body. It cannot be regarded as true immortality, but even so, it is still a good way.

Learn from.

So for a while, Orochimaru collected a lot of information about the Red Sand Scorpion.

Scorpion's parents were killed by Sakumo when he was young, and he was raised by his grandmother Chiyo, but the two didn't get along for long.

Chiyo's mother-in-law had not yet retired, and she and her younger brother Ebizo were both consultants to the Kazekage. Their status was equivalent to that of Koharu Koharu, Mito Monen and Danzo combined.

With such great power, he naturally has a lot of corresponding responsibilities, so he naturally doesn’t have much time to play with his grandson.

Even later, after Xie showed his aptitude for puppetry, the time the two spent together turned into teaching.

So for a long time, Scorpio grew up alone.

It's not like there are no children of his own age in Sand Hidden Village, but Xia is a genius, a genius in puppetry, not to mention that he has learned from Granny Chiyo, the number one person in Sunagakure Village's puppetry.

Making friends requires compromise and accommodation, but young geniuses are the most unbearable, and Orochimaru understands this feeling all too well.

But unlike him, Sunagakure Village cannot catch up to Scorpion. Tsunade and Jiraiya are on the same level, so Scorpion not only has no family, but also no friends.

But that's all. What's interesting is that after Scorpion became full-fledged and had the strength to rebel against Sunagakure Village, he also killed the third Kazekage.

This incident directly led to the third Ninja War, but it meant more to Scorpion than that.

Before meeting the Djinn and learning more advanced gameplay, Orochimaru once planned to rebel against the village.

But this does not mean that he has any resentment against the village and the people there. It is simply because there are too many restrictions.

The pursuit of immortality requires constant use of ninjas to conduct experiments on living subjects. If they are repeated too many times, they will inevitably be unable to hide the old man and his ANBU.

This is the same for Scorpion, and the study of human puppets is also taboo in Sand Hidden Village.

Both of them have reasons to rebel against the village, but if Orochimaru chooses to rebel, he will only choose a suitable way to say goodbye to the old man and Jiraiya, and will never lead to a life-or-death confrontation.

Scorpion chose to kill the Third Kazekage and rebelled against the village in such a decisive way, definitely not just for freedom.

Just to pursue the body of a powerful ninja, there is no need to choose the Third Kazekage.

Obviously, he has hatred for the village, and this is a time of catharsis and revenge.

The source of this hatred is worth pondering.

After understanding this, Orochimaru understood a little bit why Scorpion was obsessed with puppetry and transformed himself into a puppet.

The so-called "eternal art" is just a by-product, becoming a puppet, more because the puppet is a cold machine, has no heart, and does not feel pain.

Scorpio's self-esteem is so strong that he does not even admit that he has weak emotions, so he has to become a puppet to abandon them.

From Orochimaru's point of view, this is ridiculous.

In his pursuit of eternal life, he will face many difficult choices and even give up some treasures he once cherished. However, if he chooses to deny his emotions in order to avoid this pain, it is putting the cart before the horse.

Orochimaru thinks this is very weak.

From this point of view, even after becoming an S-class rebellious ninja, the Red Sand Scorpion is still sitting alone in the large toy of Fei Liuhu, just like a child.

After understanding the Red Sand Scorpion, when Orochimaru looked at the One-Tail Jinchuuriki of Sunagakure Village, the sense of déjà vu in his eyes was too strong.

This was clearly created by Sand Hidden Village, another monster with power but a weak mind.

Such children are easy to use, they don't care about the difference between Sunagakure and Konoha.

Looking at the wind and sand in front of him, Orochimaru asked the Hyuga ninja in the team, "How far is it from Sunagakure Village?"

The Hyuga ninja observed for a moment and replied, "According to the landmarks, there are still about five or six kilometers."

"Haha... not long after that, we will encounter the Sand Ninja patrol."

Orochimaru licked his lips, "I hope they won't blame us for coming uninvited."

This time when I came to visit my allies, Konoha didn't say hello in advance. Preventing intelligence from being exposed was only one aspect, but more of a demonstration.

Only Orochimaru can do this kind of thing, others, even Jiraiya, may not be strong enough.

…

Sand Hidden Village, on the rooftop of the Kazekage Building.

Luo Sha, the Fourth Kazekage, looked down at the village with a gloomy expression on his face, wondering what he was thinking.

Granny Chiyo, who had been retired for a long time, suddenly appeared on the rooftop, staring at Luo Sha, "Are you really determined to do this?"

Tonight, the Fourth Kazekage will conduct a test on the one-tailed Jinchuuriki to test Gaara's mind and see if he can still control Shukaku when his emotions fluctuate violently.

This was not a whim, but a premeditated decision. It was a helpless choice after Ichibi Shukaku had rioted in the village many times, causing a lot of personnel and financial losses.

But what surprised and even horrified Chiyo's mother-in-law was that Rasa planned to let my uncle Yashamaru assassinate him.

This is the younger brother of Rasa's wife, and he is also the person I have the closest relationship with in Rasa now. It is not surprising that he is a spiritual support. Both of them know what will happen if Yashamaru dies on Gaara.

Either I will turn into a cold-blooded ninja weapon when I come to Luo, or he will die.

"When Garura was pregnant, Elder Chiyo forced it to happen."

Luo Sha glanced at Granny Qiandai coldly, "You could have predicted what happened today. Why...when things came to a close, did the elder become soft-hearted?"

His mood was not as calm as that cold face, but Gaara's fate was determined from the beginning. If he could not become a weapon to protect the village, the outcome would be death.

Whether as the Kazekage or as a father, Rasa naturally wanted Gaara to live, even as a weapon.

But now, Chiyo, who facilitated this incident, is here talking nonsense, meaningless, and pretentious, which is really hateful.

"Yes...it's me, an old woman, who talks too much."

Grandma Chiyo said this, but she sighed in her heart.

The Sunagakure Poison Master who once poisoned thousands of people was just a sentimental old man in his old age. Looking back now, he can't help but feel a lot more sad.

Just like in the case of Gaara, she was a little unreasonable back then.

On the rooftop of the Kazekage Building, the atmosphere suddenly became depressing. Regarding Gaara, the two of them had nothing to talk about.

At this time, after a burst of wind, the captain of the Sunagakure patrol team appeared in a flash, looking a little panicked.

"Master Kazekage, Konoha has sent two teams of messengers, saying they want to discuss important matters with you."

"Konoha, messenger?"

Luo Sha recalled the recent situation and thought that Konoha had not contacted him in advance recently and did not take such important matters seriously.

He waved his hand absentmindedly and said, "Let them go to the post house first and talk about it later if they have anything to do."

"But, but..."

The patrol leader cried sadly, "But there is Orochimaru among the envoys of Konoha."

"Orochimaru, why is he here too?"

Luo Sha suddenly raised her head, her brows furrowed tightly, fear flashing in her eyes.

The destructive power that a ninja of this level can cause is so great that coming without warning can even be regarded as a declaration of war.

At this time, there was a loud noise in the village, and a strong wind was raging centered on a certain location.

"not good!"

Luo Sha's heart skipped a beat, and then she remembered what she was doing tonight.

Gaara's rampage and Orochimaru's sudden visit came together, and he even began to wonder if there were Konoha spies in the village.

Rasa immediately ordered, "Elder Chiyo, you are responsible for stopping Orochimaru, and I will suppress Gaara."

"Okay!" Granny Chiyo knew that poison and puppets were not very effective against tailed beasts and could only be used against ninjas. She did not refuse to be responsible for the dangerous party, so she immediately left.

Rasa took a deep breath and ordered to Captain Sunagakure beside him, "Ask the ANBU deployed around Gaara to support Elder Chiyo."

"yes!"

…

Sandstorms swirled all over the sky, like rolling black clouds, billowing out in all directions.

And in the center of the roaring sand, stood a red-haired boy. His eye circles were dark, as if he had applied a layer of deep eye shadow.

Under his body, the sand seemed to have come to life. Wherever he went, there was the center of the quicksand, constantly eroding the uninhabited dwellings around it.

"Die, die to me!"

With roars that were not human, the sand reached out around like tentacles, and the hard wall was broken into pieces like tofu, as if it had suffered a violent sandstorm.

Unexpectedly and naturally, above Gaara's head, the center of the sandstorm was extremely quiet. A sandy tentacle penetrated through a ninja, as if to punish betrayal, instead of simply giving him a break.

To end it, torture him to death in the most painful way.

The blood soaked the sandy tentacles, leaving dark red traces.

"Haha... this is a celebration. Fortunately, I didn't miss it."

On the outside of the sandstorm, Orochimaru looked at Gaara in the center, his eyes full of interest.

Before a jinchuriki grows to a sufficient level, any ninja village must take care of it at all levels, and ninjas from other villages will never have the chance to see them.

So after arriving at Sand Hidden Village, Orochimaru asked the Djinn to help him conduct a survey to determine the target's status.

But even so, he really didn't expect to see one of the targets of this trip in this form.

Shisui looked around and reminded him at the right time, "Lord Orochimaru, the Sand Ninjas are surrounding us."

After meeting with the Sunagakure patrol, they did not follow the normal mission procedures. Instead, they came directly here under the leadership of Orochimaru.

Strictly speaking, this is considered a hard break.

But neither the Sunagakure Anbu who were here before nor the patrolling ninja who followed them had the idea of ​​launching an attack first.

The jinchūriki in front of them was going berserk. Whether or not to increase the number of enemies was beyond their ability to decide.

"It doesn't matter."

Orochimaru smiled nonchalantly, as if he heard something, his eyes fell on the ninja above Gaara, and he said,

"Shisui, save that ninja."

Shisui was stunned for a moment, but without any hesitation, his body turned into a shadow and rushed straight towards Gaara.

In the half-tailed beast state, Gaara's perception was so sharp that he almost instantly noticed Shisui's approach, and let out inhuman roars one after another, trying to eliminate the threat in front of him.

Boom boom boom!

The yellow sand surged up, like a whip or a spear, and shot toward Zhishui.

However, no matter how fast the sand was, it always slowed down. It only hit the afterimage of Shisui left behind, and was unable to stop his extremely fast approach.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

With only a sliver of reason left, Gaara gathered all the sand he could control and formed a huge wave of sand, overwhelming the sky and hitting Shisui.

Shisui's eyes narrowed, but instead of retreating, he rushed straight towards Gaara, his eyes flashing with red light.

boom!

The huge waves surged into the sky, hitting the red heart without any bias, sending up a burst of dust and smoke.

"this……"

The Fourth Kazekage Rasa and Chiyo's mother-in-law rushed here and happened to see this scene. They looked at each other and didn't know what to say.

The Konoha envoy did not stay well where Sunagakure was hosting him, but moved toward dangerous places. Now that he died, he just felt that he deserved it.

But this is the truth, but it is not the case, especially when the 'Konoha Sannin' Orochimaru is still present.

"Your Majesty Kazekage, don't worry."

As if aware of their thoughts, Orochimaru smiled at the two of them.

In the battlefield, a dark green sword light flashed across the dust and mist, cutting off the tentacles above the head of Gaara who was somewhat out of strength.

The next moment, the big dark green hand took the seriously injured ninja into the Susanoo.

"Ahhh! Give it back to me!"

Gaara let out a roar, and the sky filled with yellow sand poured in again.

But at this time, Shisui had already retreated with Yashamaru, and the dark green Susanoo acted like a shield, once again blocking the invasion of the yellow sand.

"Good job."

Orochimaru took Yashamaru's body from Shisui's hands, simply sealed his wounds, ignored Rasa's troubled expression, and started treating him on his own.

"Ah! Give him back to me!"

At this time, the berserk Wo Lailuo, whose hatred for the betrayer was undiminished, rushed over with yellow sand all over the sky.

Seeing this, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa no longer paid attention to Orochimaru's treatment, and went up to him, "Magnetic Release·Golden Burial!"

The violent wind sand was stopped by the finer placer gold, and even pushed back.

The control of power between the two is no longer at the same level. They both control the magnetic release, but Rasa is much more skilled than Gaara, who is only using brute force at best.

If it were in the past, the two of them would have been in a stalemate for a while, and they would have been able to hold on until Gaara regained consciousness, but tonight Gaara suffered too much mental shock, and Yashamaru was not completely eliminated, so the hatred in his mind continued to expand.

After exceeding a certain limit, he passed out directly. The consequence of this was that the 'Art of False Sleep' was automatically triggered.

"Hahaha, I'm here again."
