Naruto: Changing Fate

Chapter 342 It’s really easy to talk to smart people

Welcome! ?Remember what Naruto planned earlier?

That's right...

After "accidentally" revealing to Orochimaru that the Black Zetsu in front of him was most likely the only immortal existence known in the world, it was no surprise that Orochimaru was aroused to have a strong thirst for knowledge. Naturally, He took the initiative to step into Naruto's trap step by step.So much so that the entire person's psychological defense was at its weakest moment since Orochimaru defected from the village.

"Of course! After all, this piece of information..."

"But Grandpa Sandaime Hokage personally begged for it from the unkind and cold leader of the Uchiha clan for you!"

Because of this, the two sentences that Naruto threw out with an innocent face and a smile undoubtedly instantly penetrated Orochimaru's fragile defenses.So much so that when Orochimaru's whole body froze, the twisted desire that had the tendency to blind the entire soul dissipated into nothingness in this moment.

"You mean... the old... teacher... personally went to beg the Uchiha clan leader? Or was it for me?!"

Stunned, Orochimaru, whose negative emotions had mostly subsided although his mood was still complicated, naturally subconsciously questioned and refuted what Naruto said.

"No, no, no, no, this is impossible...he is the dignified Sandaime Hokage, how...how could he...do such a thing of lowering himself!"

But even so, Orochimaru was obviously stammering in his speech and seemed to lack confidence, but the truth that was deeply shaken in his heart was revealed without reservation!

After all, although according to Orochimaru's understanding, given the character of the Third Hokage, it is absolutely impossible for him to lose face and ask for something for himself, a disciple who has been defined as a rebellious ninja, and it is impossible to ask Ming Mingming and the village The Uchiha clan, who have competing interests, had any conversation... In other words, Orochimaru should have easily shattered and seen through this lie that was full of loopholes the moment Naruto finished speaking!

But then again...

After meeting Naruto, this little guy who doesn't play by the rules at all, so that accidents happen frequently... Orochimaru unknowingly changed his usual way of making judgments and decisions based on common sense. , inevitably gives rise to some doubts and unconfidence.

Based on this premise, Orochimaru recalled and pondered every sentence and every word that Naruto had said during this period, and tried to find flawful evidence that was enough to make a final decision.But as if by some strange coincidence, he became more and more convinced of Naruto's words.

Of course, this is not to say that Orochimaru, whose IQ is mostly below the line, is so stupid that he can easily believe such obviously deceptive words... but because, from the moment Naruto opened his mouth, he tried to give Orochimaru advice, so that When he tried to stay as far away from Jue as possible to avoid being bewitched and influenced by Jue, he laid a lot of foreshadowing quietly, as if he had already planned it.

Among all these, the one that bears the brunt and affects Orochimaru's judgment the most is not what Naruto talks about from time to time. All sources of information come from the words of the Sandaime Hokage who care about Orochimaru.It was another word that came out of his mouth as if it were natural when he was trying to give advice.

That is...

……

"So, Grandpa Sandaime Hokage specially asked me before I came out..."

"If I can meet you during this journey, I will help him convey a piece of advice to you..."

……

This sentence, upon first hearing, seems reasonable and has no logical flaws in the language.As a result, Orochimaru did not immediately realize that something was wrong...

But now, after Naruto intentionally weakened Orochimaru's vigilance, he was misled by the "truth".With just a few words from Naruto, Orochimaru was completely penetrated and broke through his fragile defense. As he was thinking wildly, he gradually realized that something was wrong...

Obviously, in the second half of the sentence, Naruto will convey advice to the Sandaime Hokage, on the premise that he can meet Orochimaru during the journey...

In other words, while pretending to be innocent, Naruto's expression naturally responded to Orochimaru's, thus creating a situation where the Sandaime Hokage had already anticipated that Naruto would most likely encounter Orochimaru when he left the village. The incident’s logical and misleading atmosphere!As a result, Orochimaru, who was in a complicated mood, suddenly became more and more biased under the guidance of this misdirection.

Among them, the most obvious misunderstanding is that Orochimaru has never understood the origin of "Danzo's personal order" from the beginning to the end.

What if we judge based on Orochimaru's old impression and understanding of Danzo?

Then, after this secret order appears, Danzo, who will do anything to do anything, will definitely send people to realize it by any means.So much so that even if Orochimaru is able to recognize it now, he has a deep relationship with Jiraiya, and even Naruto, who is keen to help this too "cowardly" idiot realize his dream of getting the beauty back, is completely dissatisfied. He might do something harmful to Jiraiya.It was even less likely that it was an assassin used to deal with Jiraiya... but because of this, Orochimaru was always worried that there was someone else chosen as the assassin.Furthermore, while watching in silence and silence, he also devoted most of his attention to keeping himself alert at all times.Lest a moment of inattention lead to some suspicious person appearing around him, threatening Jiraiya's life.

Because of this, even though this remark was like an afterthought, it was just Naruto realizing that Orochimaru was here, and without saying a word, he attacked himself.However, when Jiraiya appeared, he immediately restrained all his murderous intentions, realizing that there might be some misunderstanding between himself and Orochimaru.He hurriedly thought about it and came up with a rough lie that was full of flaws...but the effect it achieved was far beyond Naruto's expectations!And without waiting for Naruto to say anything more, Orochimaru started to make up his mind in his wild thoughts!

As a result, despite being vigilant for such a long time, Danzo's backhand was never seen appearing.As a result, Orochimaru's mind was left with only two possibilities for the "truth" hidden behind the scenes...

Or, after seeing the rare scene of the former Konoha Sannin meeting together, the back-up preparations arranged by Danzo were already dealing with Jiraiya, and were very likely to offend and provoke Tsunade and Orochimaru, under the obvious contrast that the outcome was not worth the gain, quietly removed them all and gave up this assassination operation.

Or, from the moment Danzo wrote this "handwritten order", he had already anticipated that Orochimaru, who was worried about Jiraiya's life being threatened and could not stand idly by, would use this information to He took the initiative to look for Jiraiya as if he had thrown himself into a trap.And in the process, he unconsciously completed the long-lost scene of the reunion of the Konoha Sannin!

This completely opposite conjecture, but also similar to Danzo's behavior, had already vaguely emerged in Orochimaru's mind.So after hearing Naruto's words, Orochimaru decided naturally and without thinking that the real situation he faced must belong to the latter!

You know, in Orochimaru's perception, although Jiraiya has unswervingly stood in the Sandaime Hokage's camp, Jiraiya has been quite disliked by Danzo over the years, and he is even regarded by Danzo as an important person. On his way to becoming Hokage, another thorn in his side and flesh lurks!But in the final analysis, the friction and disputes caused are only due to conflicts of interest, and they are far from reaching the point of having to fight to the death!

After all, as the only one among the Sannin of Konoha who still maintains contact with the village...Jiraiya has never done anything that harmed the interests of the Konoha Ninja Village over the years, despite traveling around all year round.It is no exaggeration to say that the seemingly declining Konoha Ninja Village was able to maintain a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere even after the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and it was never invaded by enemy forces.Except for the Sandaime Hokage who was appointed to retake the post at the critical moment and quickly stabilized the situation.Jiraiya, who possesses the strength of a Kage-level powerhouse and wanders around various countries so erratically that he vaguely, like a time bomb, has become a key figure in restraining all forces, is undoubtedly the same. An existence that is indispensable!

It is precisely because of this that Danzo, who kept shouting all day long that everything he did was for the benefit of the village, endured the successive departures of Tsunade and Orochimaru, and the death of Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo in the village. After the suicide, the death of the Fourth Hokage and his wife during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and many other incidents, the only person left who could have a certain deterrent power on the surface was the aging Third Hokage. Such a high-end combat power was extremely lacking. situation.He couldn't find a suitable reason at all, and he didn't even have enough motivation to kill Jiraiya, the only remaining Kage-level strongman who cared about Konoha Ninja Village, and made such a self-decision that was harmful to others and not to his own benefit. Here comes the arm folly!

Thinking about it this way, coupled with Naruto's words that seemed to be quietly hinting, he "accidentally" revealed the reminder.Orochimaru was suddenly enlightened, and immediately realized that the reason why Danzo had so painstakingly set up a trap to achieve the purpose of luring the snake out of the cave... must be because the Sandaime Hokage, who still cared about Orochimaru, had promised Danzo something. benefit!

After coming to this "truth", Orochimaru seemed to have obtained the "key" to understand the confusion in his heart, and the many questions that had been accumulated and buried deep in his heart from the beginning to the end were suddenly solved. Got a reasonable explanation quickly!

E.g……

First of all, even if Orochimaru had a cooperative relationship with Danzo, he still had certain rules for exploring Danzo's behavior and style.But how could Danzo, who had always been cautious, stick to the old rules and follow the old system that had been known to outsiders to hide the top secret handwritten order?

The answer is obvious. Danzo had already expected that Orochimaru would take the bait. In order to prevent Orochimaru from finding this key order, Naruto who left the village would not be able to meet Orochimaru. An act of letting go!

Secondly, why did the Sandaime Hokage, who always put the village first, act like a different person and frequently act for Orochimaru's sake?

It's nothing more than the complicated emotions Orochimaru has towards the Sandaime Hokage... When he personally led his men to raid Orochimaru's secret experimental base, and finally expelled Orochimaru, the whole process seemed cold and heartless. The Sandaime Hokage still retains a strong master-disciple relationship with this rebellious ninja disciple who was expelled from the village by his own hands.As a result, under the temper of the years, instead of gradually fading away, the increasingly obvious guilt and self-blame gradually affected the decision-making of the third generation Hokage.Then he gave up the bottom line principle that he had adhered to for most of his life, became concerned about the current situation of Orochimaru who was away from the village, and tried to make some choices that could make up for and save this master-disciple relationship!

And this master-disciple...or, in other words, the care and love like a father and son and family, happened to be when Orochimaru abandoned everything he owned to study the forbidden ninjutsu that could gain eternal life. In the deepest part of Maru's heart, there is an instinctive desire that has been hidden until now!

After all, in the final analysis, the reason why Orochimaru was able to commit such inhumane and bloody acts was that he did not hesitate to let himself go from the glorious heroic image of aloof to the altar, and gradually fell from the altar, turning into a devil and a lunatic who was reviled and criticized.It's not because, as his appearance shows, he is selfish and ruthless... but because, since he was young, Orochimaru, who has been traumatized by war, has witnessed too many life and death - For example, the death of his parents and the death of his disciple Senju Nousuki - Orochimaru, who has felt the great pain caused by important partners leaving his side one after another, has become more and more aware of the fate of this fragile life. How vulnerable!Only then will he make up his mind, and would rather give up everything he already owns, but also study the forbidden ninjutsu that can give people eternal life!

Because of this, after getting to know Naruto up close and personal, Naruto was able to conclude more and more that the reason why Orochimaru's character and goals were suddenly distorted and darkened... was not so much for himself, but rather because of everything. In order to better protect the only remaining partners around me and avoid feeling the bone-deep pain again!

However, Orochimaru, who started out with good intentions, far underestimated the strong resistance and heavy price hidden on this road.As a result, in just a few years, the once high-spirited hero has degenerated into a murderous demon.Even the reason why I chose to conduct research in the first place was completely forgotten.So much so that in Orochimaru's mind, all that was left was the long lifespan of immortality. Such a paranoid desire that had long been distorted and deviated from his original intention!

What Naruto has to do now is to give Orochimaru advice...

While Orochimaru has not yet become hopelessly dark, try to stimulate with words to awaken the deepest part of Orochimaru's heart, the clarity that has been dormant for a long time!Furthermore, even Naruto cannot guarantee whether he can use this as an opportunity to prevent the future Konoha destruction plan from coming as scheduled...

We must also try our best to avoid Orochimaru killing his master with his own hands, a sad scene that obviously goes against the original intention!
