Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki

Orochimaru is no longer willing to waste time. No matter how lofty a dream he has, strong power is essential if he wants to realize it. Orochimaru wants to become stronger because he knows that his current level is not enough, far from it. Therefore, teaming up with Shirataki, performing difficult tasks together, and seeking breakthroughs at the critical moment of life and death is undoubtedly the most efficient method.

Just like this mission, Orochimaru faced danger twice and finally survived. Orochimaru truly realized his own growth. From another perspective, not only can experts save lives at critical moments, but they can also hone their practical skills, so why not do it?

Therefore, Orochimaru's next words directly dismissed all Jiraiya's thoughts, which can be described as merciless, "I can take the rope tree for such a long time, which is already a great honor to Tsunade. You are the most It’s better not to make it difficult for me.”

"You!" Jiraiya stretched out his hand tremblingly, pointed his index finger at Orochimaru, and kept roaring, "Orochimaru, do you still have any shame! Tsunade can hand over the rope tree to you, which shows that she cares about you!" Your trust! How long has it been before you give up? This is how you plan to repay her?"

Jiraiya's barrage of questions seemed to be to defend Tsunade, but even Shirataki, who was watching the fun next to him, felt a strong sour taste.

A cold light flashed in Orochimaru's eyes, obviously angered by Jiraiya's unreasonable behavior. Not everyone is interested in Tsunade, at least he, Orochimaru, doesn't have any feelings for Tsunade, so naturally he can't understand Jiraiya's mentality of a flower protector.

He first pretended to chuckle, and then said in a calm and crazy tone, "Jiraiya, calling you stupid is just flattering you. You worked so hard to complain for Tsunade, do people remember you at all?" "

After speaking the above words slowly, Orochimaru seemed to think it was not enough, and finally added, "I advise you, it is better to honestly change your crush, and don't act like you are not a human being inside and outside all day long." Tiantian Looking down and not looking up, Orochimaru had already understood Jiraiya's little thoughts, but he was just too lazy to say them out. Now that Jiraiya wants to be stubborn, Orochimaru doesn't mind arguing with him to see who can outshine whom in the end?

The little privacy in his heart was exposed on the spot by Shirataki and Orochimaru one after another today, and was even used to ridicule Orochimaru. Jiraiya thought he couldn't bear it anymore. He suddenly stood up and walked towards Orochimaru without saying a word. From the looks of it, he felt that he couldn't keep up with his words and was about to have a more intense debate.

Shirataki sat on the bedside, originally watching the interaction between Jiraiya and Orochimaru with great interest, but unexpectedly the conflict was about to escalate, and he shouted loudly, "Hey! I told you, go out and fight!" After all, this is the place. However, Shirataki's residence was surrounded by numerous ninjutsu scrolls copied by him himself. A few ninjutsu scrolls would probably be completely destroyed.

Jiraiya ignored Shirataki's warning and walked straight forward, expecting to grab Orochimaru's collar, but unexpectedly received an old punch in the face.

"Touch!" Jiraiya was suddenly hit hard on the face. He felt dizzy and dizzy for a moment. He sat down on the ground and did not recover for a long time.

Orochimaru leisurely retracted his hand, bent his arms slightly, put his clenched fists in front of his chest, and said condescendingly to Jiraiya, "Are you blinded by anger? But you seem to have forgotten, the relationship between you and me gap."

Seeing that Orochimaru had subdued Jiraiya, Shirataki quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the golden light in his eyes dimmed. It turned out that he had been ready to take action just now. He frowned and glanced at Jiraiya, especially the red and purple fist mark on the other person's cheek, which stayed for a while. Even with Shirataki's ferocity, he couldn't help but sigh at the cruelty of Orochimaru's attack.

This can simply be said to be a disgrace. Jiraiya seemed to be still in a dazed state, covering his cheek with his left hand and supporting the ground with his right hand, looking at Orochimaru blankly. Shirataki judged that Jiraiya must have been stunned and had lost his combat effectiveness in a short period of time. He immediately retracted his sight and focused on Orochimaru again.

After thinking about his words for a moment, Shirataki said in a deep voice, "Orochimaru, do you remember what you promised me at the barbecue restaurant? Naoki is also my younger brother. I hope you can understand his importance. Moreover, who to choose to form a team with The decision-making power of the team is not in my own hands." Shirataki didn't say much, he believed that Orochimaru could understand what he meant.

"Teacher Hiruzen." Orochimaru answered as if he had expected it. Then he returned to his calm demeanor and said with a smile, "I can open up the relationship there, as long as there are no problems with you." After saying that, Orochimaru turned around and went out, preparing to go to Mito Menyan to discuss the matter.

Shirataki didn't say anything after seeing this. It didn't matter to him who he teamed up with, as long as his teammates didn't hold him back. Naoki could break away from Orochimaru's team, which is what Shirataki has always wanted to try. . Moreover, in this joint operation with Orochimaru, Shirataki also silently watched the performance of the other party. Although Orochimaru lacked hard power and always liked to hold back when doing things, he was able to obey his own commands and execute orders without hesitation. , there are still merits.

"Orochimaru, what is your purpose?" Jiraiya said. He still did not get up from the ground, but remained in a half-lying position, slowly wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth with his palms, his eyes full of gloom. and puzzled.

This kind of expression is rare on Jiraiya. Jiraiya was not a fool, even if he was before, he came to his senses after being punched. Therefore, he quickly realized that the decision Orochimaru made today seemed to be different from any other time in the past. Jiraiya could not describe that feeling for a moment.

"Haha." Orochimaru chuckled, stopped temporarily, turned his head, and looked down at Jiraiya from the corner of his eye. The light from outside the door shone in, making Orochimaru's figure a little blurry. Only his vertical pupils seemed to be emitting an extremely dazzling light. "My purpose is simple, just to become stronger."

Although the other party only showed the corner of his eyes, Jiraiya could still read Orochimaru's firm will and determination not to regret from the changes in his expression. But this made Jiraiya even more puzzled, "Why? Following Shirataki can make you stronger? What's the truth? You don't learn new ninjutsu, don't do a new round of taijutsu training, and you don't even expend energy. "Enriching knowledge" Jiraiya had a hard time understanding.

Orochimaru turned around and was silent for a while, leaving a dark figure behind Jiraiya. He didn't bother to explain anything, but answered the question "If you want to gain power, you have to pay a price. I just see the opportunity when I see it." , I will just catch it decisively." After the words fell, Orochimaru's back gradually faded away, and soon disappeared from Jiraiya's sight.

Jiraiya stood up from the ground with difficulty, breathed lightly for a moment, and murmured to himself, "Tsunade too, Orochimaru too, what changes have happened to you? What are you thinking about?" In the end, every time It was like this. In the end, he was the only one who didn't understand anything. Jiraiya smiled bitterly, raised his hand and rubbed the side of his face that had begun to swell, while he kept thinking about the rope tree in his heart.

Jiraiya had feelings for the rope tree. Even if he excluded the identity of Tsunade's younger brother, the other person's personality was very to his liking. If Orochimaru wants to form a team with Shirataki, his existing team will inevitably be disbanded, and all the members will be placed in other teams one after another. This is a common practice.

Although these two people belong to different departments and are both extremely powerful, the possibility of teaming up is extremely low, because this situation is strictly a waste of resources. But there are exceptions to everything, and Jiraiya felt that Orochimaru could accomplish this. Although he didn't know how sure Orochimaru was, let alone the hidden actions of the senior officials, he just felt this way.

In this case, how to arrange the landing of the rope tree, Jiraiya had to think, "How about mentioning it to Tsunade again?"

Shirataki ignored Jiraiya and quickly left his tent and rushed towards Tsunade's tent. Now that the rope tree has left Orochimaru's team, Shirataki naturally has to talk to Tsunade about the whereabouts of the rope tree. It would be best to transfer the rope tree directly back to the village, so that Shirataki doesn't have to distract himself from taking care of the rope tree. As long as you concentrate on finding Nagato.

Just as Shirataki was walking and thinking about the rope tree, he suddenly found a person blocking the road in front of him. Shirataki slowly raised his head and looked at the person. This person had black hair and black eyes. He looked young and had two deep lines on his cheeks. The ravine was a bit more mature, and he just stood there quietly, with Furui Muha's eyes looking directly at Shirataki. From that look, it seemed that he already knew Shirataki's route, so he had been waiting here for a long time.

"Uchiha Fugaku?" Shirataki frowned slightly. He didn't understand why Uchiha Fugaku blocked his way.

"I didn't expect you to still remember me, Uzumaki Shirataki." Uchiha Fugaku first nodded politely at Shirataki, and then said.

Shirataki looked at Uchiha Fugaku strangely, somewhat confused as to why he was looking for him. If I remember correctly, last time in the village, Uchiha Fugaku suspected that he was a spy from another village, and the two sides had some unpleasantness over this. But it was just a trivial matter after all, and Bai Taki didn't have to show off to the other party because of this matter.

"Of course I remember, the young patriarch of the Uchiha clan. What's the matter with you?" Shirataki asked calmly, as if he didn't care about the previous contradiction at all.

Seeing that Shirataki's expression was normal, Uchiha Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief and put on a kind smile, "It's nothing, I just want to talk to you. I haven't apologized to you in person for the misunderstanding last time..." I hope you can give me this opportunity." Uchiha Fugaku smiled awkwardly.

"Oh?" Shirataki felt strange, obviously not understanding Uchiha Fugaku's intention to get close to him. But don't hit the smiling man. Since Uchiha Fugaku's attitude is so friendly, Shirataki doesn't mind making friends with him. It's just that now is not the right time.

Shirataki raised his head and said to Uchiha Fugaku, "Sorry, I have something else to do now."

"If you're not in a hurry, you can come to my place in half an hour and we can chat slowly if you have any questions."

Although Shirataki's tone seemed flat and gentle, there was an undeniable aura in it. Uchiha Fugaku could feel that the other party was not trying to shirk. And this was enough for him, as long as it wasn't like last time where he was stopped by ANBU even though he was so far away.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Uchiha Fugaku's eyes were solemn, and after a brief nod, he stopped entangled and moved away from Shirataki.

Noticing that Uchiha Fugaku's figure gradually merged into the crowd on both sides, Shirataki raised his eyebrows. He always felt that the other person's expression and behavior were somewhat strange.

It's like I'm avoiding something.
