Orochimaru was sitting on his knees in his living room with a livid face.
In front of him, twelve sleeping ninjas were neatly arranged,
Their bodies were stained with traces left by the solidification of some special mucus, and there were some corrosive scars on their faces and arms. If it weren't for the slight movement of their chests and breathing, they would have looked like they were dead. .
These people were of different ages, but they all had some impression on him.
They were all once members of Konoha's dispatched troops on the battlefield of Rain Country on the eve of the Second Ninja War.
In other words, these twelve ninjas are all Orochimaru's old subordinates, but their relationship is not that close.
Now, he understands what is going on.
The only thing that made him unbearable was the perpetrator of this incident.
Orochimaru raised his head and glanced at the little toad squatting in the corner with a sealing cork in its mouth.
"I think there's no need for me to explain, right?"
A familiar sound came from the little toad's mouth.
"Have you made up your mind? Come with me."
Jiraiya...you have changed!
Orochimaru slowly closed his eyes.
"You should know what impact the disappearance of twelve ninjas in the village will have..."
Jiraiya's voice came out of the little toad's mouth again, "Besides, they are lying in your house now. What will they think if they find out?"
"Do you think you will have a chance to explain?"
"Or in other words, even if you explain it, will it be useful? And will those red-eyed evil spirits in the police department believe it?"
"Don't forget, the Uchiha clan is full of malice towards us, the so-called remnants of the Hokage!"
"So, Orochimaru..."
Jiraiya's voice came chattering from the little toad's mouth.
"Are you afraid to see people now?"
Orochimaru coldly interrupted Jiraiya's thoughts.
"Oh~ I'm not afraid that you'll hit me~"
Jiraiya's funny and unbeatable voice sounded again.
Orochimaru continued to stare at the twelve fainted Konoha ninjas lined up in the hall with a cold face, quickly calculating countermeasures in his mind.
He had also heard about the disappearance of the ninja in the village.
At first, he thought that his subordinates were being lazy when they captured the "consumables", so he checked the "materials" that had recently been brought into the laboratory - they were all serious monkeys, no living people. !
Then Orochimaru just regarded this matter as the result of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Police Department's secret arrest in the village, so he put the matter behind him and continued to tinker with his chakra experiment - and the reason for this The reason for being lax is because the Anbu or the root of the former Third Hokage's affairs often did similar things in the past, and Orochimaru was actually a little bit used to it.
But things often change far beyond his expectations.
When he walked out of the laboratory refreshed and full of blood and returned home, he saw a small red toad squatting in the corner of the living room, as if it had been waiting for a long time.
Before he had time to figure out how this strange toad entered his living room through the many enchantment traps, another cecum-like creature appeared in the hall with the light of necromancy, spitting out twelve unconscious bodies. Dead Konoha ninja!
Apart from anything else, the Konoha ninjas vomited out of their appendix were arranged in a strangely neat manner!
A very strange idea suddenly appeared in Orochimaru's mind.
"Why don't you want to leave?"
Jiraiya's voice sounded again.
"Why don't you dare to see people!"
Orochimaru said coldly.
At this moment, his heart was filled with anger. Although his face was still cold, the murderous impulse in his heart could hardly be suppressed.
But he couldn't do it immediately.
Otherwise, chakra fluctuations will attract the police department or other ninja forces, and if the twelve missing Konoha ninjas are found in their own homes, then they will really lose their pants - either Xiang or Xiang!
Thinking of this, the murderous intention in Orochimaru's heart boiled again!
After taking a deep breath, Orochimaru slowly opened his eyes and looked at the little toad in the corner.
"...Okay, okay, I'm out."
As the little toad opened its mouth, a hand stretched out from its mouth to open it wide. Jiraiya, covered in mucus, crawled out of the toad's mouth with difficulty.
"How does this move compare to your skin-shedding ninjutsu?"
Jiraiya teased, pretending to be relaxed.
"Do you think it's fun?"
Orochimaru asked coldly.
All this gave him a sense of unreality.
Even though Jiraiya was already standing in front of him, Orochimaru couldn't believe that such a clumsy and effective frame-up was actually done by Jiraiya!
But the truth is like this, he can’t help but not believe it!
"Are you blaming me?"
Jiraiya immediately asked with a straight face.
"It's not like I have to thank you, right?"
The corners of Orochimaru's mouth twitched, revealing a ferocious smirk.
"Have you forgotten the teacher's death?"
Jiraiya still had a straight face.
"So what if I forget? So what if I don't forget?"
Orochimaru's face was full of ridicule, "So you mean that I'm going to be like you, defecting from the village and then being hunted down by the anti-terrorist forces like a lost dog, hiding around the ninja world?"
"It is the responsibility of our generation to resist the tyranny of the shogunate!"
Jiraiya said seriously: "Today's Konoha has been led astray by Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo. We should stand up and correct the chaos!"
"... What a great way to bring order out of chaos!"
Orochimaru was immediately angry and laughed.
It means that if you don't want to be a rebel, you will become a sinner who submits to the shogunate!
"Why are you fighting with the village?"
Orochimaru sneered and said: "A mere anti-terrorist force has almost wiped out your rabble. What do you think you have the ability to fight against an entire village?"
"Do you think the Uchiha clan or Hatake Sakumo's innovations will dominate the village today?"
"Do you think that today's village must be full of complaints and everyone is eager to go back to the past?"
"Do you think that the power of the Tokko Shogunate, the Fire Gate Shogunate, the Uchiha Clan, the United Corporation, Kirigakure, the Ame Ninja Village, the Kusanagi Village, plus Sakumo's family, can be overthrown by an arrogant person like you who doesn't know the heights of the world? What?"
"Do you think that those aliens who support you, including Longdi Dong, are hiding just because they are noble and do not want to be contaminated by the world?"
"Those aliens just know that they can't beat them!"
"Today's ninja world is the world of ninjas! Even the daimyo nobles have completely stepped aside!"
The more Orochimaru talked, the more desperate he became.
This is also the reason why he has been staying in Konoha.
Even if you are under suspicion, even if you are constantly under surveillance, but so what?
Although the ninja world is huge, where is his hiding place?
"Jiraiya... times have changed!"
After finishing speaking, Orochimaru sighed and closed his eyes.
"...I know it's hard."
"But is it so easy to give up on revenge for the teacher?"
Jiraiya lowered his head, his voice choked with sobs: "The teacher is dead... the Sarutobi clan is gone, and even Shinnosuke was captured and his life and death are unknown..."
"But! This world shouldn't be like this, and life shouldn't be like this!"
"It was Uchiha Tokimitsu and Hatake Sakumo who betrayed the village! It was them who were wrong!"
"The Will of Fire is always in my heart! The glorious deeds of Konoha's past Hokages have always inspired me to keep moving forward!"
Jiraiya raised his head again, with an extremely cold expression on his face, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red, "No matter what you say, I will never change my ambition! This is my way of ninja!"
So, is this the reason for the shameless frame-up?
Orochimaru suddenly felt no anger at this moment, only deep fatigue.
What happened to this world?
Originally it was only him who framed others, but when did he become framed by others?
And he was completely betrayed by his former friend in such a despicable way...
The purpose is for a "vision" that is simply impossible to realize...
How ridiculous this is!
Thinking of this, Orochimaru's fingers moved slightly.
"Do you want to fight me?"
Jiraiya saw Orochimaru's little move, "Aren't you afraid of attracting people from the police department?"
Orochimaru seemed unaware, but his fingers no longer moved, but the chakra fluctuations in his body became more and more intense.
This is almost obvious that he is preparing to take action...
Jiraiya sighed in distress.
He thought that by arresting a group of people and setting a trap for Orochimaru, he could easily take this old friend with evil intentions out of Konoha.
But...it seems that Orochimaru doesn't appreciate it!
"Then do you think you can run away?"
Orochimaru's expression was very cold.
Regardless of whether he wanted to escape Konoha or not, whether he left or stayed in the future, his self-esteem would not allow him to be forced to defect like this!
"Ding dong!"
Suddenly, the doorbell rang outside Orochimaru's mansion.
"Hello, Orochimaru Jonin~ This is Minato Namikaze from the police department. I'm here to visit you."
A voice came in from outside the door.
Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, then became nervous.
Jiraiya's face suddenly showed a smile of success, and he made a gesture of invitation.
Orochimaru looked at him coldly, straightened his clothes a little, then ignored the presence of Jiraiya and the twelve unconscious ninjas, and walked towards the door.
"Squeak~"
The indifferent Orochimaru opened the door and looked at Namikaze Minato with a gentle smile on his face with scrutiny... and the more than twenty police department ninjas behind him.
Half of them are jounin-level ninjas...
Orochimaru was no stranger to Namikaze Minato, a junior who had recently become famous in Konoha.
Before the battle that made him famous, which was the eradication of the Myogi Mountain psychic beasts in Konohagakure, Namikaze Minato came to visit and warned Orochimaru to recall all the spy snakes placed in the village.
So……
This time Minato Namikaze arrived, especially with a group of heavily armed police ninjas, the meaning behind it was self-evident.
Moreover, in addition to the group of police department ninjas standing in front of him, Orochimaru also vaguely sensed that none of the residents around his house had any breath of life.
They should have been evacuated in advance... and there were many people ambushed.
Now that things have happened...there's nothing we can do about it...
"Orochimaru Jonin, I'm sorry to bother you, but I have one thing to wish for..."
Namikaze Minato said with a smile.
"I want to report it!"
Orochimaru calmly interrupted Namikaze Minato's polite words.
"...Can you cooperate...hey!"
Namikaze Minato suddenly showed a shocked expression.
what happened!
Did he hear it right?
"I want to report it!"
Orochimaru said again: "The traitorous ninja Jiraiya is in my home."
