Naruto Puppet Master

In the morning of August 29th in Sand Ninja Village, Orochimaru stood on the top of the city and looked at the red sun rising in the sky.

"Is this a new era? I, Orochimaru, have to keep up with the era even if I abandon my companions and teachers. Isn't that why I don't want to be left behind by the world?"

"I have seen the path of the ninja, and soon I will be able to see a corner of the era caused by the top down!" Orochimaru thought slightly excitedly facing the rising sun.

"Ah! Orochimaru, you are here!" A frivolous voice came from down the corridor.

"If I hadn't asked the patrolling ninjas who saw you along the way, I would never have thought that you would come to see the sunrise." Jiraiya, who had white hair, walked up and said:

"The war is about to begin, and a new era is coming. Jiraiya, are you ready?" Orochimaru said without looking back:

"I know the war is about to begin. We suffered a lot yesterday. I'm afraid the sand ninjas will be able to repay us in the past few days. But what new era are you referring to? Orochimaru." Jiraiya frowned and asked:

"Haha." Orochimaru chuckled twice and said: "The red sun has risen, there is nothing to see anymore, let's go!"

Since Orochimaru led the elite troops with heavy losses yesterday to withdraw, Namikaze Minato took advantage of Orochimaru to meet the Third Hokage and told Jiraiya exactly about Hizashi's strange behavior before his death.

Although Jiraiya is usually careless and unruly, at critical moments he is also a powerful ninja who never loses control. After receiving the report from Namikaze Minato, it is not difficult for Jiraiya to come to the same conclusion as Namikaze Minato. .

And this made him very conflicted. On one side he was his direct disciple, and on the other side he was his teammates who were as close as brothers.Even though Jiraiya thought about it with the most decisive thinking, he was still undecided in his heart, because he believed in his disciples, but he also believed in his brothers. He did not believe that Orochimaru would have problems, and he was even less willing to believe in Orochimaru. has a problem.

In the end, he couldn't think about it anymore and had to go alone late at night to find the Third Hokage.

"Jiraiya, go see Orochimaru tomorrow!" Jiraiya's heart sank when he thought of what the Third Hokage had said with a complicated look in his gloom.

Watching Orochimaru walk by, Jiraiya frowned and looked at him with complicated eyes. In the end, he did not call Orochimaru to stop, but allowed Orochimaru to walk down the wall.

"Orochimaru, what are you thinking about? What did Minato tell me yesterday?" Jiraiya thought with a heavy heart as he looked at the red sun that had risen. "And even Sarutobi-sensei asked me to test you. What did you do?"

Although there were countless questions in his mind, he could only endure it when facing Orochimaru, because Jiraiya knew Orochimaru's character, and it was unlikely that he would get any answers if he asked directly.

And once the question comes out, if Orochimaru doesn't want to talk, he will never give you another chance to understand.This is a person who puts everything in his heart but always thinks about himself.

"And what exactly is the new era in Orochimaru's words?" Jiraiya, whose mind was a little fried thinking about it, shook his head and whispered: "Forget it, let's see again! Orochimaru should have considered it himself Yes, and it wasn’t a good time to talk just now.”

Jiraiya, who had temporarily put down the burden in his heart, looked at the red sun that was already glowing golden on the horizon, and said in a much better mood: "Come out! Minato."

"Jiraiya-sensei" heard this, Namikaze Minato, who knew that he was directly exposed, walked out of a very small shadow on one side and said respectfully:

"Even I discovered you just now, how could Orochimaru not know you are here." Jiraiya reminded: "Don't do such a thing again in the future."

"Yes, Teacher Jiraiya." Hearing this, Feng Shuimen said with a slightly unwilling expression:

Seeing his originally sunny disciple turn into this, Jiraiya felt uncomfortable. "Minato wants to be more open-minded. Hizashi's death was just an accident. Don't bear his death on your heart."

"But, Orochimaru." Namikaze Minato said unwillingly:

"Okay, don't talk about it. Orochimaru is the hero of Konoha, the top disciple of the Third Hokage, and even the future Hokage. Before this matter has a definite conclusion, I don't want you to go to him again or do anything to him. have what

Criticism. "Jiraiya interrupted with an extremely serious expression:

Faced with Jiraiya's majestic aura that had never been shown in front of him, Namikaze Minato truly felt the strength that Jiraiya possessed as one of the three ninjas, a Kage-level strongman, instead of the former master. Yiyu's good friend, Namikaze Minato could only nod with a dark look and said: "Yes, I understand! I will not interfere in Lord Orochimaru's affairs anymore."

"Yeah." After seeing Namikaze Minato agree, Jiraiya said softly: "You were tired yesterday, go back and have a good rest! Even if there is a war today, you don't have to do it, I will help you turn it down of."

"Thank you Jiraiya-sensei." After saying this, Minato Namikaze turned and left.

"I hope Minato can figure it out as soon as possible! Konoha is in urgent need of every strength now. Neither you nor Orochimaru can have any problems at this time." Thinking of the short sword he saw in the Third Hokage yesterday, he Laiye felt a gloominess in his heart.

On the other side, Orochimaru, who had already walked down the city wall, walked to his tent alone.

"The person who was hiding just now was the aura of Namikaze Minato, Jiraiya's disciple, and Jiraiya actually took the initiative to look for me, but he didn't say anything when he found me." Orochimaru walked back to the camp. While thinking about it.

"Jiraiya's behavior is very strange!" Orochimaru, who thought this way, remembered that just after leaving Scorpion yesterday, he saw the dying Yamanaka Haiichi and the desperately struggling Namikaze Minato among the puppet army near the snakes.

Orochimaru frowned and thought: "At that time, they said they were here to find me, that's why they rushed so deep. At that time, one of them was dying and the other was almost collapsed. Plus, he was in a hurry to go back, so he didn't think about it in detail, but now that he thinks about that position It’s not right that there are only two of them.”

"clap clap"

"Lord Orochimaru, please tell me something." A ninja knelt down on one knee in the darkness and said:

"Go and investigate what Namikaze Minato did after he came back yesterday? Who did he meet? And how many people participated in their breakout to find me yesterday." Orochimaru said coldly:

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru." The ANBU ninja responded:

With the disappearance of the ANBU Minister Hatake Sakumo, coupled with the authorization of the Third Hokage and Orochimaru's high status in the ANBU, Orochimaru is now almost the ANBU Minister without a formal appointment letter, mobilizing the ANBU to investigate some matters for himself. It's so simple.

With the ANBU's efficiency, within half an hour, a piece of information that had been confirmed by many parties was delivered to Orochimaru.

Looking at the detailed information in his hand: from the assistance of the Uchiha clan, to the strong support of the Inorakacho and Hyuga branch families, as well as Namikaze Minato's meeting with Jiraiya after returning to the camp, and Jiraiya's subsequent meeting with the Third Hokage late at night , looking at the above, most of them are extremely clear records.Orochimaru's expression became much gloomier.

"This guy Namikaze Minato unexpectedly rushed in with Yamanaka Haiichi and Hinata Hizashi. Judging from the position where they left Akimichi Choza and Nara Shikaku at that time, they should not have stayed at the place where I found them. "

"And Hinata Hizashi is also dead. He died after half of his head was cut off with a sword. The body was brought back by Namikaze Minato."

"At first I thought it was Scorpion's clone that didn't try his best and left two little bugs behind. I didn't expect that my carelessness at that time actually left a flaw for myself."

"It seems that Hinata Hizashi saw something that he shouldn't have seen, and told Namikaze Minato something that led to what happened now." Orochimaru thought gloomily as he destroyed the information paper in his hand.

"Fortunately, Hinata Hizashi is dead. Namikaze Minato alone can't influence me. And he definitely doesn't have any substantive evidence in his hand. It should be just speculation and suspicion at most, otherwise it will definitely not be Jiraiya now. It is also a possible test, if the matter between me and Scorpion is really confirmed at this critical moment, Sarutobi-sensei cannot remain indifferent."

"Stay back! This matter is classified as an A-level secret." Orochimaru, who thought so, breathed a sigh of relief and said to the ANBU in front of him:

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

Looking at the candlelight shaking on the desk, Orochimaru said in a daze: "After all, I still want to help you one more time. I hope you can wait! Otherwise, I'm afraid the disciple will have to act in advance." (To be completed.) Continued.)
