"Zefeng, what are you going to do with Orochimaru?"
Mito Kadoyan was the first to speak, asking Zefeng what he thought of Orochimaru.
First of all, regardless of whether he recognized Zefeng in his heart or not, Zefeng was now the upright Fifth Hokage.
In terms of management and authority, he is one level above me.
Secondly, the people who proposed the capture of Orochimaru and escorted Orochimaru back to the village were both Zephyr.
If it weren't for Zephyr, they would never have thought of seeing Orochimaru captured.
No matter which angle he came from, Mito Kadoyan didn't think he could ignore Zefeng's voice.
After sleeping, Koharu and Sarutobi Hiruzen also focused their attention on Zephyr.
I want to hear his answer.
But Zefeng was in no hurry to answer.
He glanced at the three people in front of him.
He simply kicked the ball to the feet of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"What do you think, Third Hokage-sama?"
Ever since he learned the news that Orochimaru had been caught, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but think about this issue.
Orochimaru is an S-class defector ninja.
Not only does he have a lot of information that is detrimental to Konoha.
When he left the village, he took with him the forbidden techniques left behind by the Second Hokage.
without any exaggeration……
Others are S-class defector ninjas because of the crimes they committed, which are only S-class.
Orochimaru is an S-level defector ninja because the highest level for defection is S.
If it really comes down to Konoha's laws, Orochimaru's death a few times won't be enough.
But on the other hand, Orochimaru was not just a disciple that he trained by himself.
He was also his favorite disciple.
Then I thought about Jiraiya and Tsunade leaving the Ninja Village.
The Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato also sacrificed himself to seal the Nine-Tails.
Danzo, an old friend, was also executed on the spot by Zefeng.
If Orochimaru was sentenced to death like this, he would feel somewhat unbearable.
Thinking of this...
Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the tobacco pouch on the table, put it to his mouth, and took a puff.
Then he blew out a wisp of smoke.
Lost in thought.
Anyone could see the indecision written on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face.
At the same time, this indecision is equivalent to giving the answer.
He didn't want Orochimaru to die.
Although he remained silent, Hefeng already had the answer in his heart.
It has to be said that once people get older, they will cherish life more.
"I want to ask the Third Hokage-sama."
Zefeng took a step forward, his voice becoming stronger.
"Orochimaru, do you have to die?"
Finished with the gentle breeze.
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly frowned and his heart was shaken.
Does Orochimaru have to die?
This sentence really penetrated into his heart.
As Orochimaru's former teacher, he naturally did not want Orochimaru to die.
But now that things have come to a point, if I forcefully keep Orochimaru, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public.
Mito Menyan and Koharu, who went to bed, both looked sad.
As one of the old foxes of Konoha, their ability to observe words and emotions has long been perfected.
Already seen the thoughts of Zefeng and Sarutobi Hiruzen.
only……
They could still understand Sarutobi Hiruzen's motives.
But what did Zefeng think?
They are a little confused.
Because Orochimaru and Zephyr had no connection, the latter only wanted to capture him to establish his prestige.
And the best way is not to kill Orochimaru.
Kill him as a warning to others?
This kid, He Feng, shouldn't be planning any conspiracy in his heart, right?
"Zefeng, what do you mean?" Hiruzen Sarutobi said without thinking.
There was a flash of light in his eyes, as if he had grasped the last straw.
"I just think we should probably give Orochimaru a chance."
"An opportunity for him to defend himself."
"Look at what the person involved said."
"Give Orochimaru a chance?" Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned immediately. He did not expect that Zephyr would say anything to give Orochimaru a chance to plead guilty.
He subconsciously turned to look at Yan and Xiaochun.
However, he only glanced at the two.
Then the silence continued.
But this time, Zefeng said nothing more and just waited quietly.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Sarutobi Hiruzen finally relaxed his tone and asked Kakashi who was present to go to the police department and bring Orochimaru over.
In fact, this is also within Zefeng's plan.
He knew very well how Sarutobi Hiruzen felt about Orochimaru.
Otherwise, Orochimaru would not have been able to escape so smoothly back then.
As long as Orochimaru insists on his reason.
There is room for relaxation in this matter.
soon……
Kakashi came here with Orochimaru.
"Long time no see, Sarutobi-sensei."
Meeting Sarutobi Hiruzen again, Orochimaru smiled.
And his hands and feet were firmly locked by shackles made of sand and iron.
"Orochimaru..." Seeing that the once best disciple had fallen into what he was today, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.
If I could have discovered Orochimaru's problem in time, I might not have let him go astray.
"Orochimaru, now that you have returned to Konoha again, do you have anything else to say?"
For a moment, it was Mito Kaden who replaced Hiruzen and shouted sternly at Orochimaru.
"certainly……"
Orochimaru glanced at Mito Kadoyan, and then focused his attention on Hiruzen.
Then he spoke slowly and defended himself.
"According to my understanding, Konoha believes that the crimes I have committed are nothing more than three."
"The first one is human experimentation."
"But after all, wasn't Danzo the first to propose the so-called human experiment?"
"He felt that Konoha cannot live without the First Hokage's Wood Release, and there is no second person in the Senju clan who can inherit this kind of blood inheritance limit."
"That's why I want to use human experiments to allow Konoha to regain the Wood Release."
"To a certain extent, I should be an accessory to that incident, forced by the various pressures exerted by Danzo."
"Secondly, that human experiment was not fruitless. Tenzo, who served in the Anbu, inherited the wood escape of the first Hokage through that human experiment."
"The second one is that I have information that is detrimental to Konoha."
"Although I have been away from Konoha for many years as a defected ninja, I have not disclosed this information to outsiders."
"I didn't even think about invading Konoha."
"The third one is that I took away Lord Tobirama's forbidden technique."
"Especially the Ninjutsu of Earth Reincarnation."
"Although it is suspected of desecrating the deceased, the person who invented him was the Second Hokage..."
"Not even the Second Hokage was convicted of developing the Reincarnation of the Earth."
"Why should I, a ninja who inherits the mantle of the Second Hokage, be sentenced for this?"
Orochimaru's expression did not change, and he justified himself to everyone present.
I can't wait to blame all the problems on Danzo.
"Rather than saying that I defected from the village on my own initiative, it would be better to say that I was forced to do so by Danzo-sama."
"In order not to involve him, I chose to leave."
"Now that I know that Danzo-sama is no longer here, I also..."
"I don't want to continue defecting anymore."
"So I can say with certainty that I have not really betrayed Konoha."
Orochimaru emphasized loudly, "All of this is because of Danzo."
