Naruto: Immortal Spirit

Early spring in Konoha always reminds people of morning glow and rain.

When the silvery gray dusk enveloped the jungle, the golden sunshine slowly rose, with a little softness, dispelling the only chill.

Orochimaru didn't look like his usual attire. His plain kimono was only tied with a lavender lining, and he just stood quietly on the treetops far away from the main city of Konoha.

The gentle sunlight shone on his face, but his pale skin seemed to be faintly illuminated.The wind from the jungle came slowly from a distance, carrying a few young leaves, blowing his hair, and gently brushing his cheek.

I have lived in this land for about 30 years, and now it seems that it is time to say goodbye.

"Is today finally here..."

The blazing heat of the sun seemed to make the erect pupils narrow even more. When they really reached this point, everything seemed to have calmed down. There was no joy or sadness, just like going out to buy some meatballs.

"Hiss..."

The slender white snake slowly emerged from the cuffs, with a hint of wisdom in its eyes, and then turned into white mist and disappeared quietly.

A smile gradually appeared on Orochimaru's lips. The boy who once trembled under his hands had now taken this step earlier than him.

"Jun Xu, is the young eagle really going to spread its wings and fly high?"

Smiling softly, he glanced at Konoha for the last time, but his eyes fell on the Hokage Mountain facing him, and scenes from the past could not help but come to mind.

The teacher who taught him ninjutsu, the third generation who became Hokage, the good helper who indulged Danzo, the almost broken master-student relationship, the last old man on Hokage Rock, seemed to have become increasingly blurry in his eyes, and all he could see was A cruel and complicated gaze.

"Konoha is such a good place..."

The faint smile on his face slowly faded, and with green grass under his feet, he walked slowly into the depths of the jungle and disappeared.

Qingluan leans against the green, the mountains and rivers are still beautiful, the clouds are floating in the white sun, the sky and the earth are as stunning as ever. From now on, I go out and never come back...

……

"Report to Hokage-sama! A secret letter sent by Namikaze Minato Jonin from the Sand Ninja battlefield..."

In the Hokage building, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was buried among papers, slowly raised his head. He did not look at the masked ANBU ninja, but just looked at the scroll in his hand and frowned slightly.

For Konoha, which owns the Yamanaka clan, ordinary battle reports will naturally be quickly sent back to Konoha through the Yamanaka clan, and only when some major changes occur, or some secret events that cannot be known to others, will the wave of feng shui The commanders such as Men personally wrote the secret scroll and passed it on.

Could it be Tsunade's illness...

Feeling slightly surprised, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who took the scroll, couldn't help but move a little faster. The current situation was very favorable to Konoha, although Konoha had suffered heavy casualties in the past few years of war, especially the middle genin.But as long as the Suna Ninja is defeated, Konoha will be considered a complete winner.

"Minato's subordinate, Orochimaru's disciple, Kato Ou..."

It was not as he thought, but it seemed to be worse than he thought. Namikaze Minato's former subordinate, Orochimaru's disciple, killed the Mizukage and became famous. The Kato family was finally able to use the spirit transformation technique. The newly promoted Jonin defected...

But this scroll made Sarutobi Hiruzen frown even deeper. Namikaze Minato hoped that Konoha would not pursue Kato Oo and label him as a traitor in the name of going out to perform tasks.

Sarutobi Hiruzen only hesitated for a moment and was about to refuse. Konoha was already in sight of victory and had passed the most difficult moment. Moreover, even if Kato Ou did have outstanding military achievements, defecting from the village would never be tolerated. This was absolutely It cannot be opened.

"Minato is still too young. Doesn't he know how much impact this kind of thing will have?"

Just thinking of this, he seemed to understand. It was impossible for Minato Namikaze not to understand, but even if he understood, he still presented the secret scroll to himself, which also showed his attitude. Sarutobi Hiruzen gently stroked his beard and pondered With.

He is already old and has long passed his golden age as a ninja. There is not even much suspense about the next Hokage. After winning the Suna Ninja, Namikaze Minato is the most suitable successor. He can't help but need to consider Namikaze Minato's future. Attitude, this is his most desirable successor.

After thinking for a moment, an old voice suddenly echoed in the office.

"Go and ask Elder Danzo to come and discuss matters..."

Naturally, Namikaze Minato did not hide anything about the root attack in the scroll, and even the information about cracking the Flying Thunder God's curse seal was written clearly. This was also the reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen did not refuse directly.

After all, Namikaze Minato still trusted him so much.

"Yes!"

With a slight sigh, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but light up his pipe. Even though he had been immersed in the center of power in Konoha for more than 30 years, he sometimes hesitated.

Sometimes I hope that Namikaze Minato can understand his methods, and I also hope that he can be more sophisticated.Only such a leader can become a qualified Hokage.

But sometimes I also hope that Namikaze Minato will maintain his trust in him and be as helpful as ever. Although in the eyes of a politician like him, such a person becoming a leader is not the same for Konoha in chaos. What a great thing.

But fortunately, he is still here...

"It would be nice if Minato's personality could be more balanced with Orochimaru's..."

Orochimaru has become somewhat confusing to him in recent years. Unknowingly, he and his once closest disciple seemed to have drifted further and further away...

Thinking of something, he gently picked up the scroll in his hand and read it again. He seemed to understand what Namikaze Minato was thinking - what a similar scene between Namikaze Minato's subordinate Kato O and his disciple Orochimaru...

"Orochimaru……"

For some reason, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned deeply, as if he had overlooked something.

It seemed like it had been a long time since he had seen Orochimaru. Since he returned to Konoha from the Kirigakure battlefield, he had only seen Orochimaru once in the triumphant army, and his whole person seemed to be getting colder and colder...

"He is also a disciple of Orochimaru..."

"Go and ask Orochimaru to come with you to discuss the matter..."

"Yes……"

Before the ANBU ninja who was quietly lurking in the dark finished speaking, the door to the Hokage's office suddenly opened, and Danzo Shimura's hoarse voice echoed throughout the office.

"No need to invite..."

"Hiruzen..., your disciple Orochimaru has defected!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes suddenly widened, and his sharp eyes were directed at Danzo who slowly walked into the office, but Danzo seemed to be used to it and didn't pay any attention to it.

"What? Danzo, do you know what you are going to say?"

"Hmph, Hiruzen, Orochimaru is doing human experiments in private, and the roots have found his laboratory..."

"What you probably don't know is that there are also ninjas from the village..."

There was no expression on his face, as if he was just a walking corpse. Danzo's voice made Sarutobi Nikko's pupils shrink slightly. He couldn't help but squint his eyes and stared at Danzo with a cold tone in his tone.

"Danzo! Are you sure what you said is true..."

"Huh, I don't even bother to lie..."

If Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't know anything about human experiments, I'm afraid no one in Konoha will believe this. There are many things hidden from him, and he really hasn't interfered too much, but most people He still vaguely knew some of the things.

Looking at this old teammate he had worked with for most of his life, Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a sigh of relief and took a deep look at him.

After dealing with him for half his life, he was not unfamiliar with his methods. Moreover, the content in the scroll made him begin to wonder whether Danzo had concocted this matter...

Slowly standing up, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were filled with complexity and anger. He didn't know whether it was towards Orochimaru or Shimura Danzo...

"take me!"
