Konoha's Barrier Master

"You mean?"

As Uzumaki Makoto said, his brows naturally wrinkled and twisted into the Chinese character "Sichuan". Even if he felt comfortable and windy, he could not erase the doubts in his heart.

why?

Why would Orochimaru sense his barrier technique?

Although he didn't say exactly when it was or what the conversation was, everyone knew that since Uzumaki Makoto had done it, how could he not know about it.

But new problems also arise.

Why would Orochimaru know?This doesn't make sense.

His barrier technique cannot be broken by Orochimaru now. Even in the future, he is confident that Orochimaru will not be able to break it.

No, even if he found a clue, it wasn't Orochimaru who could do it.

So he was very curious about how Orochimaru figured out that he had a barrier technique.

"I have a teacher. Let me and Jiraiya choose. Come on, you have a teacher."

Seeing that Uzumaki Makoto seemed to be pretending to be stupid, Orochimaru simply said it directly without giving him any way out.

When a detour is not an option, a straight shot is the best option.

"At that time, I suddenly felt like I was being watched. Of course, I didn't care at that time."

"After all, bypassing ANBU patrols and heavy ninja guards in Konoha Village, and peeking into the Hokage's office to have a conversation, this kind of strength is definitely not something that ordinary ninjas can do."

"Even if you have a shadow from other ninja villages, they would never be able to do this."

When he said this, Orochimaru looked at Uzumaki Makoto's expression, and found that he was still calm. It seemed that after hearing the story, he wanted to see the calm young man at this moment, panic or disillusionment.

Then continued:

"Then I put the matter behind me. After all, there is still a possibility, that is, I felt that it was a mistake. It was not that someone was peeking at our conversation, but that I went crazy."

"It's just that I still have some doubts in my heart..."

At this point, he didn't say any doubts, and his voice became excited: "But, until this morning, that feeling flashed past again. Although it was duller than yesterday, it was unmistakable."

"That means you have a technique that brings you feelings."

"If my guess is correct, today you relied on this technique to find the Uchiha clan in the shadows, and found my true body in the woods, right?"

"Yes."

So that’s it, is it an instinctive feeling?

If that makes sense, his experiments on human subjects go beyond software modification to stages, right?

Thinking that he might have some information, Uzumaki Cheng no longer evaded, but agreed.

At this time, rebuttal is far less beneficial than responding.

After all, it's not a big deal - for Orochimaru.

If there were another Konoha Jounin here, Uzumaki Makoto might be tied up, but Orochimaru, with such a cold nature, would not give away greater benefits.

He loves Konoha, but perhaps in his eyes, Uzumaki Makoto has just arrived in Konoha. Although he has such terrifying and detecting ninjutsu, he has no time to explore Konoha's secrets.

Then as long as you don't use it again in the future, you can ignore yesterday's mistakes.

After all, it didn't cause any damage to Konoha, right?

After all, this kid is still hiding his strength. You have to know that if a Konoha ninja deliberately hides his strength, it means nothing in the eyes of the higher-ups.

Hidden strength can be ignored, and a little mistake can be forgiven... There's nothing wrong with it... right?

And you can have a companion with the same dream. For yourself, if you don't hand it over, it will do more harm than good.

A fool knows how to choose.

With his mind spinning, Uzumaki Makoto naturally knew how to answer, and after Orochimaru said yes to express his understanding, the matter was considered to have been revealed.

Both of them were expressionless, but they could tell that the other had thoughts.

But both of them knew that after this incident was revealed, it meant that Uzumaki Makoto could no longer use this detection ninjutsu in Konoha, and Orochimaru could no longer use this incident to make excuses.

This is where smart people communicate.

But, can't I change the technique so that you can't feel it?

Uzumaki Makoto thought.

Or, let you also become the beneficiary of this technique, so the contradiction will disappear.

There are always more solutions than problems. It is too easy to solve a problem.

Unless you are really helpless.

Otherwise, all problems can be solved by serious or informal solutions.

"Have you finished asking your questions?"

Orochimaru looked through him with eyes that seemed to mean something meaningful, and he said with a playful smile on his lips.

The meaning couldn't be simpler: If you've finished asking, isn't it time to answer my questions?

"Ah, it's over."

Uzumaki Makoto scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. Now that he had finished asking, of course he had to answer Orochimaru's question.

And he has to answer the question, naturally why he wants eternal life.

This was the first time he talked about his ideals in front of others. He always felt like he was in the second grade, as if he hadn't graduated from the second grade of junior high school.

By the way, do people like Naruto like to ask others about their dreams?

It seems that you can see that others don't have the capacity and mind to do anything.

Secondary school!

He was also leaning on the wooden stake, his red eyes reflecting the clear blue sky in the distance and the soft floating clouds flying further and further away.

The atmosphere became quiet, and the quarrels and quarrels that had just occurred seemed to be false, bursting and dissipating like a bubble.

Even the wind became lazy.

The cool breeze blew up the hair and rubbed it against his cheek, making Uzumaki feel itchy and comfortable.

"Eternal life..."

As he murmured, the red-haired boy stretched out his arms and spread his palms, as if he wanted to grab something, but there was nothing, attracting Orochimaru's attention.

He did not interrupt the young man's actions, but instead was driven by the atmosphere and seemed to fall into memories. Before his eyes, he had emotions when the young man got the white phosphorus snake's slough.

The young man asked: "Why?"

"It's because of greed... I'm too greedy. This world is so beautiful, with bright stars, delicate flowers, delicious food and wine, beautiful scenery, strength and knowledge bring joy, and being with someone I love brings joy. I really don't want to give up. ah."

"When I think about dying and losing everything, facing the fact that I don't know what is left, I feel like fear is wrapping me up like a tide, as if I am sinking into the sea."

"Greed..." Orochimaru chewed the word: "Do you think eternal life is happiness?"

"Yeah, but it's also painful."

These words attracted Orochimaru.

This was just a casual question on his part. He had never thought that eternal life would be painful or troublesome.

In his impression, after achieving immortality and acquiring the ninjutsu, he should be happy.At that time, he had the ultimate happiness!Only when you have thousands of people can you embrace happiness!

So he wanted to hear what Uzumaki Makoto had to say.

"Those who pursue eternal life are like moths reaching for the fire, searching for the only light in the darkness, craving for warmth, but always getting burned or even burned to death when they get close."

"But they don't know that the gods have authority. Anyone who wants to seize the gods' authority will inevitably suffer necessary injuries before they can reach the state where the gods turn a blind eye."

"And humans are not gods after all. Even if they live forever, they will still be lonely."

"No matter how strong you are, some people will be afraid of you. Being alone is the strongest and there is a devil. No one can escape. If you want to avoid it, you can only rely on others."

"Give up your pursuit of life."

"So when you find the joy of eternal life, you will also be lonely hiding in the shadows, pouting and cracking the corners of your mouth, laughing silently."

Orochimaru seemed to be admiring him just right, groaning softly and asking: "So, even so, why do you still want to live forever?"

"Because, I found something that makes me not afraid of loneliness, or in other words, something that kills loneliness."

"Having seen beauty and embracing it, I long for eternity."
