Konoha's white-eyed princess

Orochimaru's way of living is undoubtedly selfish, he will not take any responsibility, so he can do anything without any scruples.

Killing people, conducting human experiments, instigating wars... these things may just be 'interesting' things for Orochimaru.

Orochimaru does not need others, and no one needs Orochimaru... The only accident, perhaps only Jiraiya!

But Hinata is different, Hinata has her own responsibilities, which may have been imposed on Hinata by others at the beginning, but when the fetters arise, Hinata becomes willing.

"Are you afraid of losing, afraid of being alone?"

Orochimaru hit the nail on the head, he understood Hinata's mentality very well at this time, because he had such a mentality before.

The first time to kill someone, the first time to do human experiments, the first time to see a test product die on the test bench... Then he was discovered by the third Hokage, defected from Konoha, and wandered alone in the ninja world.

When Orochimaru was desperate to pursue his ideals, he was also confused, but in the end Orochimaru was firm in the path he chose.

After a long time, I feel that there is nothing, but occasionally recalling the past, I still have some nostalgia in my heart.

It's just that the longer the time, the weaker this nostalgic feeling is, but it is also more worth cherishing.

Orochimaru can kill three generations, and it can also kill Jiraiya and Tsunade.Orochimaru will shed tears when killing them, and occasionally miss the past after killing them.

But that's it.

"Actually, the longer you live and the more you see death, these are nothing."

Orochimaru believes that Hinata can understand him, and also pursues the ideal of longevity, Hinata will become a person like him sooner or later.

The reluctance to give up now is only because Hinata has not seen the departure of her companions and relatives with her own eyes.

After all, there are only a few people who can give you warmth in this world.

Hinata was silent, and Hinata admitted that she was really afraid of losing her ties and being alone, so she willingly assumed the responsibilities imposed on her by others.

"The bond between people...is really amazing!"

Hinata feels a little bit emotional, after getting along with people for a long time, she will regard the other person as her important person and give her affection to the other person.

Because I am afraid that the feelings I have given will be hurt, so if I want to risk my life, I must protect the other party.

Orochimaru said coldly: "Feelings are the most selfish thing in this world, so the most unacceptable thing we can do is betrayal. If you pay, you must get something in return!"

"The bond... is nothing but an exchange of emotions."

"People must have a purpose in life. People without ideals will lose the motivation to live. But with different ideals, the way of living will be different."

Hinata nodded slightly.

Hinata fully agrees with Orochimaru's statement that bondage is the exchange of emotions, and guarding bondage is also an ideal.

And what about Hinata herself?

Hinata fell into deep thought, what kind of life should she choose?

When facing Ura Shiki, Hinata did not transform Ura Shiki into Chakra Fruit in order to appease her conscience.

But in retrospect, to appease the conscience is also a kind of selfishness.

"Everything we do is really just for ourselves."

Hinata said from the bottom of her heart: "We want to protect because we don't want to lose, not for the sake of each other."

After a pause, Hinata was a little puzzled and said, "Uncle Snake, in your opinion, what kind of person is the third generation who died fighting for Konoha?"

"For Konoha?"

Orochimaru sneered, and said coldly: "No matter how impartial and selfless a person is, it is his own choice in the final analysis."

"Those things that seem great, those who sacrifice their lives for others... are only praised by others because they bring benefits to others."

"But who knows what they really thought before they died?"

Hinata sighed silently in her heart, as if she understood a little bit, but also seemed a little bit incomprehensible.

Orochimaru's way of life is still not suitable for Hinata after all, and Hinata doesn't want to be a person like Orochimaru.

"Uncle Snake, I am much more greedy than you!"

With a firm tone, Hinata chuckled and said, "I want to fulfill my ideals and protect the people I want to protect. I will do this within the rules."

"Bound by the rules, I may lose some freedom, but I am actually willing to take on these responsibilities and enjoy the joy of taking responsibility."

"Even though I can't be as free as you in my whole life, and even want to be like you from the bottom of my heart...but I'm very greedy, and I don't want to lose any of them!"

Orochimaru listened to Hinata's words quietly, imagining in his heart what would he be like now if he hadn't left Konoha?

It's just that Orochimaru has made a choice after all, and has never regretted it.

Hinata also stopped talking. Although the topic of conversation with Orochimaru this time is different from Hinata's confused questions, Hinata has also untied the knot in her heart and has a further understanding of the meaning of life.

"It's grown again!"

All of our choices must be measured by our inner values, and we determine our choices through our own values.

Simply put, it is the degree of care.

Why should we care about things that we don't care about?

People's ideas are changing all the time, but as long as you respect your heart at the moment.

Just like Urashiki... Hinata chose to give up at that time, so there is nothing to regret.

As for Longdidong, since Hinata never cared about them from the beginning to the end, why bother to care about them, which have wisdom no less than human beings?

To live, one must have ideals, and one must also bear sins.

This kind of evil happens all the time, because the energy to maintain human existence is obtained through plunder.

Predation of nature, predation of other species, even predation of the same kind.

"Uncle Snake...it seems we have to act!"

Hinata was still feeling the changes in her state of mind, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a huge ball of chakra leaving the range of Ryūji Cave.

Orochimaru jumped onto the tree, even though it was far away, but Orochimaru vaguely saw a giant red snake, spitting out snake letters and crawling towards the distance.

"It's Xinya!"

Orochimaru said lightly: "This guy has a violent personality and likes to devour human beings. Looking at his direction, he should have found a new prey."

Hinata turned her gaze, and in the direction Xin Ya was crawling, there was indeed a group of merchants resting.

Omniscient and omnipotent activated, and Hinata appeared beside Orochimaru out of thin air.

"Uncle Snake, I'll catch this guy!"

Hinata was a little excited. Judging from Chakra's reaction alone, this guy is much stronger than Wanshe and Wentai.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly.

Is this... space-time ninjutsu?
