After taking over the snake uncle's foundation, Sasuke came to surrender on his own initiative.

Konoha.

Fifty-two years.

The man in white was walking alone and rapidly in the direction away from Konoha Village.

He had pale skin and a waterfall of black hair that danced behind his head in the strong wind.

The long golden pupils, like snake eyes, give people a chilling feeling.

He is Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas.

Just now, he deliberately slowed down his pace and waited for Jiraiya who came to persuade him to return to the village, and beat him up to prove to his friend his determination to leave Konoha!

And just three months ago, his teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen was once again crowned Hokage with an absolute lead in votes.

Although he, one of the three ninjas with great military achievements, was nominated in the Hokage election, the number of votes in his favor did not even exceed two handfuls!

This made Orochimaru completely disappointed in Konoha!

In addition, through cooperation, he successfully obtained the forbidden technique that he wanted most, which was repeatedly refused by Sarutobi Hiruzen, from the leader of the Root, Danzo Shimura.

In this way, staying in the village would be a huge constraint on his human experiments.

In the woods behind him, the sounds of pursuit gradually faded away.

The peaceful and tranquil scene in the village lingered in Orochimaru's mind for a long time.

But when he thought back to Sarutobi Hiruzen's previous outrageous actions, he only felt sad and ridiculous.

"It was Kumogakure who had his eyes on the Byakugan, but he was frightened into sacrificing the Hyuga clan leader just because of the so-called threat in order to stop the war. Teacher... you are a little too ridiculous now..."

The top management is weak and incompetent.

The villagers of Konoha Village are immersed in a false and weak peace without realizing it.

But itself...

But she has become a puppet controlled by public opinion...

Once upon a time, Orochimaru's prestige in Konoha Village surpassed that of his teacher, the Sandaime, and he was the only candidate for the Fourth Hokage!

But just because of Sarutobi Hiruzen's prejudice, his dream of becoming Hokage was cut short!

Orochimaru turned his head and looked towards the village entrance, his lips slightly raised, revealing a piercing coldness.

"Such a cowardly village has no need to exist!"

Sooner or later.

He wants to destroy this corrupt village with his own hands!

In early spring, the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

But Orochimaru could clearly smell the smell of rotting leaves buried under his feet!

He snorted coldly and turned away.

But when no one was watching, a hint of loss finally flashed across his eyes.

In this huge village, no one can understand and accept his dream!

I have to say, this is a pity after all.

However, at this moment, his golden snake eyes suddenly shrank and his steps stopped.

He looked intently.

A young man actually walked out from behind a big tree several dozen meters ahead!

The boy's appearance can only be described as handsome, but his eyes are bright, his lips are smiling, and his whole body exudes a clean and refreshing aura.

And apart from those Uchiha, the other party also has black hair, which is rare like him!

What surprised Orochimaru even more was that when the boy walked out, he was holding two young children, a boy and a girl in his left and right hands respectively.

The girl has rare long pink hair and a chubby face, which makes her look very cute.

When she was dragged out, she shrank her small body, as if she was resisting. Her big grass-green eyes were filled with confusion and fear. Her forehead was wider than that of an average person, which was one of her few physical features.

Apart from this, there is nothing else outstanding about Orochimaru.

In comparison, the boy on the other side was much calmer and attracted his attention more.

At such a young age, he possessed handsome features, with long brown hair tied into a small bun at the end, but his face was cold, completely lacking the innocence that a four-year-old child should have.

But the moment he saw the boy's eyes, even Orochimaru couldn't help but blink.

His sight subconsciously moved upwards, and when he saw that the boy's forehead was bald, his eyes suddenly brightened!

"This! This is actually a pair of perfect white eyes of a bird that has not been knocked down from the cage!"

Orochimaru's emotions went out of control for a moment, and he even started to mutter to himself.

Such a body is already qualified enough to become the "reincarnation container" he envisioned!

Just as he was filled with joy and surprise, the young man came to him with two young children.

Orochimaru quickly recognized him and laughed softly. "Why, are you here to arrest my teacher as well?"

The boy's name is Yin Zhu. He is a civilian ninja who doesn't even have a surname. He just graduated from the Ninja School this year. He served as the boy's team leader for a period of time.

how to say.

In short, in Orochimaru's opinion, this is just an ordinary Genin in every aspect. There is nothing outstanding about him, whether it is his appearance, personality or ninja talent.

In Konoha Village, there are a lot of them.

"Worthless!"

This is Orochimaru's evaluation of him.

"How dare I arrest the teacher!" The boy shook his head, looked at Orochimaru sincerely, and bowed slightly. "There are rumors in the village that the human experiments you conducted are very evil, but I don't think so. Isn't this something that all the major ninja villages are doing in secret? Only someone as proud as you would take the initiative to lift this hypocritical veil!"

There was a glimmer of surprise in Orochimaru's eyes, and he looked up and down at Yinzhu, and suddenly a hint of interest appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Hehehe...Interesting little kid..."

That's right.

He himself spread the rumors in the village about a mysterious man who was killing villagers and conducting human experiments, in order to increase the villagers' fear and public opinion, and then force the top leaders to step in to resolve the matter.

In this way, it is only a matter of time before the Anbu ninja finds his experimental base and discovers that Orochimaru is the murderer who killed the villagers in his fellow villages.

His main purpose in doing this is...

He wanted to make sure that his mentor, the Third Hokage who was extremely powerful in Konoha Village, could not protect himself from such overwhelming bad reputation!

He wanted to personally cut off Sarutobi Hiruzen's luck and softness, and cut off the last possibility of himself staying in Konoha!

At the same time, hearing words like "pride" and "hypocrisy" that directly pointed out his true inner thoughts, Orochimaru also had a subtle feeling that "this boy understands me".

At this time, the boy's voice sounded again, tender but firm.

"Teacher Orochimaru, I want to follow you!"

Yin Zhu knew it very well.

As a disciple of Orochimaru, even though Orochimaru had only been his teacher for three months, he himself did not have the ninja talent like Red Bean, and he was a civilian ninja without any backing. He would inevitably be implicated by Orochimaru's defection.

The best outcome is that he will be under constant surveillance in Konoha Village and his life will become difficult!

As a time traveler who had just arrived in the Ninja World, although he was helpless about being transported to such a person, he still had to find a way to save himself.

After much thought, it seems dangerous to go to Uncle Snake, but Yin Zhu, who knows Uncle Snake's character and has a relationship with him, thinks it is a good choice.

"value!"

As long as he can show his value! He is actually the safest next to Uncle Snake!

......

"Teacher Orochimaru, I want to follow you!"

The boy's voice was childish but firm.

After a moment of silence, Orochimaru chuckled, his tone was feminine. "If it's just your intelligence, you are not qualified to follow me."

But Yinzhu heard the hidden meaning of Orochimaru's words.

He pulled the boy with white eyes to him and smiled. "In that case, I specially prepared this gift for you, teacher."

“Uh…hahahahaha…”

After being stunned for a moment, Orochimaru suddenly burst into laughter, and even tears came out of the corners of his eyes. "Interesting! It's really interesting!"

He was laughing at himself. There was actually a day when he made a mistake!

The little kid in front of me is no simple character.

Knowing that his talent was limited and not worthy of Orochimaru's attention, he abducted the boy with white eyes as a token of his loyalty. This scheming and means alone were enough to make him look askance!

The previous evaluation of "worthless" now seems to be somewhat embarrassing.

"Although his talent is a little lacking, talent is not everything. He is so smart at such a young age, and has such a mentality and means. It is worth my training. Besides... I need to go out frequently to collect materials for experiments. If I want to develop my own power in the future, I will also need capable subordinates to take care of it..."

His eyes moved over the young man and he nodded secretly.

People with less talent but full of ambition are actually easier for Orochimaru to control.

In fact, when Yinzhu said, "Only someone as proud as you would take the initiative to choose to lift the veil of hypocrisy," Orochimaru was already ready to accept him.

But he didn't expect that the boy would give him more surprises!

He turned to look at the boy with the rolled eyes, and stared at him for a moment, as if confirming something, and soon a hint of realization flashed across his face.

People of the Hyuga branch family will carve a "caged bird" curse seal on the forehead of the eldest son of the main family when he reaches the age of three.

As far as he knew, the eldest daughter of Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga family, was just under three years old.

Among the entire Hyuga clan, after excluding identity characteristics such as "age", "appearance", and "not being a caged bird", the remaining answers are actually easy to guess.

"This child... should be called Neji, right?

The descendants left by Hiashi... Seeing his father being forced to death by the main family, it's no wonder that his heart has become closed..."

Having opened his Byakugan at the age of three or four, the Neji in front of him can be said to be extremely talented. For him, this is indeed a precious gift.

If the flawless Byakugan grows up, its bloodline characteristics and functionality will be truly powerful.

But then, he glanced at Yin Zhu indifferently.

Compared to this young man with an extraordinary mind, the white eyes that were extremely talented but, in his opinion, had a low lower limit and a low upper limit, actually did not seem that important.

Thinking in his mind, Orochimaru seemed to have thought of something again. He turned his head to look at the girl who was holding Yinzhu's hand and glancing at him timidly.

There was a glimmer of curiosity in his eyes.

Just like Neji who awakened his Byakugan at the age of three or four.

The girl who was chosen by Yin Zhu and taken out of the village at great risk must be extraordinary!

For a moment, Orochimaru's eyes looked different when he looked at the pink-haired girl.

Maybe there's something special about it that I haven't noticed?

he thinks.

"Who is this little girl?"

He turned to look at Yin Zhu and asked with interest.

"Uh..." Yin Zhu frowned and looked hesitant, not knowing how to explain.

This time it wasn't an act.

Because he couldn't tell Uncle Snake...

I am just a fan of Sakura...

In an instant, he thought of many reasons, but he felt that he could not hide them from Uncle Snake who could easily see through people's hearts, so he simply found the most clumsy-sounding excuse and said it casually.

"She is my distant cousin from the Haruno family, so it's a good idea to take her along."

"Is that so? Then I understand..."

Uncle Snake laughed and naturally didn't believe it, but he didn't ask any more questions.

Yin Zhu now had some insignificant little secrets in front of him that were not worth his attention at all.

Soon, Orochimaru took Ototake and headed towards the northern border of the Land of Fire.

A long time ago.

He has already built a secret base within the territory of the Land of Fields.
