"Thorn."

The candle flame flickered for a moment before returning to calm.

In the dark basement, there is only a small decorative window, which is better than nothing.

The orange-red light of the candlelight faintly illuminated the place where it was shot, and the old man sitting upright on crutches reached out to pick up a book from the coffee table.

His skin was like wrinkled orange peel, with numerous age spots, which was extremely ugly.

Like Uchiha Madara, there are always a small number of people who are attached to time, and the older they are, the more unable to let go of the fruit of power.

The hardcover books were opened by this old hand, and several books with similar layouts were neatly placed by the old man's elbow.

"Midnight Candle Lantern", "Human Head Grass", "Ghost Cry", "The Man in the Crack"...

And the "Hanger" in his hand.

All the books are written by one person, Shuji Tsushima, a writer whose name is not allowed in Konoha.

Danzo Shimura opened "The Hanged Man" and read it from the beginning.

Even his most loyal subordinates didn't know that Shimura Danzo had read many horror novels by Shuji Tsushima long before the publication of "The Hanged Man".

Who can resist the magic power of Mr. Tsushima, and who doesn't say that he should not be physically honest?

Shimura Danzo does not admit that he is a fan of Mr. Tsushima's books, he is a noble critic, and he reads novels just to criticize!

As a respectable figure in the ninja world, Shimura Danzo does not read novels like ordinary people and brags "Tsushima-sensei is forever god, teacher, we will always love you like a mouse loves rice", his eyes are like a torch, with a strong examine.

typo?No, professional AI will make a round for you with one click.

Poor writing?If it doesn’t exist, whose work do you think you are looking at, it is Mr. Tsushima’s work!

Danzo is obsessed with the world of literature, throwing his nitpicking mentality to the sky, until the last page of the book can't be turned, and he suddenly regains his senses.

Shimura Danzo: Well, it’s okay, not bad.

Feeling that he has lost his old face, he is a little depressed, but he has to admit that Osamu Dazai wrote well, which can be called wonderful.

Shimura Danzo and Orochimaru have the same opinion: Shuji Tsushima is better at writing people than writing ghosts.

The human heart in his writing is the ultimate terror.

It is precisely because of this discovery that Shimura Danzo was very wary of Shuji Tsushima before the release of "The Hanger".

His words have the power to confuse people's hearts, and his shaping of the atmosphere is even comparable to illusion.

Reading Tsushima Shuji's novels, Shimura Danzo finds it difficult to maintain his sanity.

He was so old that he was almost scared out of his wits by a horror novel. Would he still want his old face?

After a few nights of "Midnight Candlelight" made him afraid to light the lamp, Shimura Danzo became more and more convinced that Osamu Dazai was a troublemaker.

He guarantees with his personality that the other party is absolutely impossible to be an honest writer who pays his royalties in peace.

Sure enough, Osamu Dazai would do something if he didn't do something, and Danzo Shimura's head would hurt if he did something.

Konoha Baiya, how can such a taboo be written openly and aboveboard? !

He is shaking Konoha's heart!

Shimura Danzo immediately ordered: Konoha banned the sale of "The Hanger", and completely banned the writer Shuji Tsushima!

Foreign booksellers are not allowed to enter Konoha, buy as many books as you want and burn as many as you want!Burn him up!

After the urgent order was issued, Danzo took a breath in the house, covering his chest with his hands.

His heart was pounding sullenly, and the ominous premonition poured down like dark clouds from the sky, weighing down his heart and making him short of breath.

As long as the book is burned, Shuji Tsushima's hand won't be able to reach into Konoha...?

He is just a book writer, is he capable of fighting against the entire armed force of Konoha?

As long as the source of thought transmission is cut off, Danzo Shimura can return to his previous life of peace and ease. He sent members of [Root] to monitor every bookstore, paying special attention to the movements of Hatake Kakashi, the son of White Fang.

The situation seemed to be exactly as Danzo expected. After cutting off the purchase source, the bookstore owner complained in vain, and the book buyers left disappointed in their complaints.

Under the eyes of the ninjas in [Root], one after another finely printed books are neatly stacked in the most conspicuous center of the bookstore, but they don't know it.

Those who were allowed to read took the banned books disguised as "Housewife's Menu", "High-Definition Photo", "Zen and Motorcycle Maintenance Techniques", and entered and exited frankly in front of the watchers without any flaws.

The final report back to Shimura Danzo was "everything is going well and there is nothing wrong with it."

Commonly known as: being fooled and lame.

The famous Hatake Kakashi was followed by a special person. After seeing Kakashi being stuffed with a pornographic magazine by the neighbor uncle, Shimura Danzo reluctantly believed that his method was useful.

He wanted to plant a few secret sentries in Kakashi's house, but in the end he didn't find a chance to do so.

Konoha Baiya was very popular in Konoha back then, and Bai Fang had more people who took care of Kakashi overtly and secretly after becoming a shark.Kakashi himself is a disciple of Namikaze Minato, if Danzo's little tricks are discovered, he may be included in a book.

Thinking of Namikaze Minato, Danzo's chest felt even tighter.

He believed that he was not the only one suffering from chest tightness.

The Third Hokage is about to resign, his old buddy Shimura Danzo and his disciple Orochimaru are eyeing for the position of Hokage, and the person who finally breaks through the siege and is most likely to win is Jiraiya's disciple!

There is a difference of two generations!Elderly people who are over half a century old have been ruined by their grandchildren. Can Shimura Danzo not be angry?

Shimura Danzo was very angry, but when he thought that Orochimaru might be even more angry, he suddenly lost his anger.

Contrast creates beauty.jpg

Shimura Danzo himself is narrow-minded, so he thinks that everyone else is narrow-minded.He never expected that Orochimaru, a spiritual comrade-in-arms whom he unilaterally made, actually secretly betrayed the revolution.

Orochimaru is not angry at all, he doesn't care whoever the Fourth Hokage likes to be.

This is not right, anyone who is obsessed with pornographic literature knows that Orochimaru is quite yearning for the position of Hokage.

Because it is too expensive to do experiments, only when you are Hokage can you blatantly approve funds for your project.

For the sake of science, Orochimaru decided to debut as Hokage!

Now he doesn't want to be Hokage anymore, is it because the windfall has solved his financial problem for him?

Not at all.It is impossible to be rich if you are rich, and it is impossible to be rich in this life. You can only dig a tunnel and live in a hole to make ends meet.

Orochimaru held the letter from Jiraiya, his brows and eyes dimmed under the cold light.

The snake letter hissed, and a rattlesnake with black and purple patterns climbed up the shoulder of Orochimaru along the table, and two beady eyes condensed on the letter paper.

Jiraiya's letter looks normal. Generally speaking, his pornographic literature is very favored by newspapers, and Jiraiya-sama is a dark horse breaking into the literary world. Wealthy bigwigs, Orochimaru, you can envy to your heart's content hahaha...

Half a sheet of letter paper was filled with Jiraiya's boast, and Orochimaru scanned it at a glance, and finally saw the end.

"PS. I sent you a sample issue with this letter! Don't let Tsunade see it (you know)."

Don't be seen by Tsunade?

Tsunade is wandering around the casinos in the Land of Fire with her dead lover's niece, and she won't return to Konoha at all. How could she see this letter?

Orochimaru rubbed the letter paper with his fingertips. He is a very smart person, and Jiraiya's hints were written quite straightforwardly.

Tsunade is the granddaughter of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama, don't let her see it—don't let Konoha's people see it, especially people from the Hokage family.

How strange.Compared with Orochimaru, who is naturally rebellious and sneakily does some shady experiments, Jiraiya is also sincere to Konoha.

What is it that made him choose to secretly pass it on to Orochimaru instead of his trusted teacher Sandaime Hokage?

Orochimaru took out the sample magazine attached to the letter, and the four big characters of "Kindness to Heaven" and the pink and tender book cover made Orochimaru, who had normal aesthetics, take a deep breath.

Hold on, Jiraiya's taste is like this, the exclusive anti-counterfeiting mark, confirming that it is him.

Orochimaru opened the book cover with tenuous trust in his companion.

——Then he was blinded by the "ahhhh" and "□□□" all over the screen.

Grass (a type of plant), little yellow-book, seriously?

Orochimaru felt that he was still too naive. He actually believed in Jiraiya's nonsense, and let his precious vision of seeing scientific data be poisoned by the text.

Old man, you'd better not appear in front of him easily.

His frustrating hands were about to move.

Jiraiya: This is not a superficial pornographic book, this is erotic literature approved by Mr. Tsushima, it is art!You are a man without taste!

Osamu Dazai: Don't drag Mr. Tsushima into the water (resisting little hands).

Orochimaru couldn't bear to look straight away, and looked away from the corner of his eye.

Words are twisting.

"Is it an illusion attached to the item?" Orochimaru, a scientific research madman, became interested, and he didn't dislike Jiraiya's little yellow-wen anymore, and shook the paper on his hand lightly.

It is a very delicate technique, the words and ink on the paper are stained with a hazy mist, and are replaced silently in the blink of an eye.

The words that are revealed again have a completely different look and feel than before.

Orochimaru's eyes scanned the first line of words, and the indifference in his eyes was replaced by interest.

This is the work of Shuji Tsushima.

Style of writing is a very magical thing, what difference can you experience just by looking at the beginning?But there is this feeling in the dark, like a kind of fate.

"After "The Hanger", what is he going to do?" Orochimaru said to himself.

People worship Shuji Tsushima as a myth in the literary world, but Orochimaru understands that he is an ambitious man and a terrible dictator.

He is the tyrant of the spiritual world and wants everything to submit to him.

The previous book broke the rule of "tasks are greater than life" in the ninja code, and disturbed the inherent order of the entire ninja world. What kind of shock will the following book bring?

Orochimaru looked forward to it like never before.

"He writes the book quite quickly." Dashewan thought while reading, "It's not like Zilai who always said that he was going to collect materials, but he didn't even move the pen."

Jiraiya: Nonsense!Can the matter of collecting materials be called Gu Gu Gu Gu? !Every day, I go to the women's bathroom with a pen and paper to study literature with great concentration. Don't slander people.

Dazai Dapeng spreads its wings at the edge of the dead line Zhi: Hehe, high yield, hehe.

You don't even know what kind of hell Mr. Tsushima has gone through. Have you seen this stack of manuscripts?In exchange for the liver.

Orochimaru opened the manuscript that Osamu Dazai had exchanged for his liver.

The title of the book - "Cocoon".

【The larva wraps itself in a cocoon, this is its whole world. ] "Cocoon" has written a very stream-of-consciousness story.

Its protagonist is a moth larva.

"A larva, born in a vast world, gradually seals itself into a cocoon as it grows." Orochimaru slowly understood while reading, "Enclosed in a cocoon...enclosed..."

Ninjas, born free, can come and go everywhere between heaven and earth.

In the process of growing up, the rules instilled by the people around you, and everyone's default rules are sealed in the cocoon.

"For the larva, the world in the cocoon is all there is, living safely and curling up quietly."

For ninjas, the ninja rules are the creed of life, and living by following the rules is right in the eyes of others.

Silently, silently obeyed.

"It knows that breaking out of the cocoon is the only way to transform into butterfly wings. Butterfly wings, who doesn't want free butterfly wings?"

"But how painful is the moment when the cocoon is broken? The hard shell pierces the flesh, the wind and frost pour into the mouth and nose, the outside world is so strange, it just wants to plunge back into the cocoon."

"Isn't it good to live honestly in the cocoon? You don't have to suffer pain, you don't have to endure torture, be quiet, just curl up quietly."

"Hold up until the shell can no longer be broken, until the nutrients are exhausted. Quietly, quietly die."

"The silent larva is strangled in the cocoon. Even if it dies without seeing the sky, it may feel that what it has is happiness."

People trapped in a cocoon don't even deserve to know what is a right death, a happy death.

A man who fears change and pain deserves only to hide in a cocoon until the cocoon kills him.

Ninjas who are afraid of ideological change are only worthy of being bound by inhumane rules for a lifetime, until they die on the rules they believe in.

Do you spend your life deceiving yourself, or would you rather die than break free from the shackles on the butterfly wings and shine in the embrace of the sky and the warm sun?

As usual, Shuji Tsushima did not give his answer, he simply ended up throwing the question to the readers.

Orochimaru thinks this person is hateful.

He is always like this, writing a story that seems ordinary, but actually puts people in the torrent of thought.

Intense water flowed down from the sky, smashing down head to head, and the people who hit it were full of water vapor in their noses.When you open your eyes, it is white, and when you close them, it is dark, forcing you to think, and forcing you to break all the established cognitions in the past.

When you were struggling in the current, he was watching from the shore, with his hands in his sleeves, his expression was calm and natural, as if whether you made the same judgment as him or thought had nothing to do with him.

How could he not think in his way?Resisting Shuji Tsushima is a thousand times more difficult than going against the current under a waterfall.

He can obviously force people to make choices!No one will resist him.

Osamu Dazai does not, he wants you to "figure it out for yourself", and wants you to go through the painful process of breaking cognition and denying the past.

Orochimaru understands intellectually that this is actually a kind of rare kindness, and one cannot entrust his thoughts to others.But emotionally he condemned very much, because Osamu Dazai is really a bad person.

He really likes this kind of drama where prostitutes are forced to be good.

Orochimaru closed "Cocoon", turned around and looked around his laboratory.

He is currently preparing for the selection of the Fourth Hokage. It is good to be able to take office, but if he fails to take office, he will probably defect from Konoha.

One is because it is really embarrassing to be promoted by a junior, and the other is because basically none of his experiments are worthy of recognition, and one check is accurate.

The soft-hearted third generation resigned from office, and the new official took office. Three fires may be burned on him.

So Orochimaru has been moving recently, moving his property to Tian Zhiguo, which he secretly controls.

"If "Cocoon" is about to be published, I don't need to rush away." Orochimaru flipped through his experimental records and sketched on the paper.

Never underestimate a great writer, the better the writer, the more he loves puns.

Orochimaru first read "Cocoon", thinking that this is a story written for all ninjas: but all ninjas are probably trapped in the shackles of rules.

But while reading, Orochimaru suddenly felt that his thinking had gone into a misunderstanding.

He only sees people who are shackled by rules, but ignores an obvious and implicit question-who is the maker of the rules?Who are the advocates of the rules?

They are not "larvae", they are "cocoons".

Just looking at this point and the implication of the title, this book seems to be written especially for them.

In Konoha, the biggest follower of rules is Shimura Danzo.

Coincidentally, just after he ordered Shuji Tsushima to be banned, the other party immediately wrote a story created for him.

Head to head?

Or... death notice?

"Don't rush away." Orochimaru chuckled, "At least let me watch a good show."

Konoha's sky is about to change.

The author has something to say: Orochimaru: Chagua.jpg
