[Ming Zuo] Exchange of positions

20

——If Sasuke's mission has not been completed, they can coexist peacefully like this.So, can it be impossible to complete the task all the time?

This wish is faint like a star in the night sky, but even if you can't see it sometimes, it is always there.

Before dawn the next day, Sasuke and Orochimaru packed their luggage and prepared to go out.

As soon as they reached the door, they saw Zilai also leaning against the door, holding a cigarette stick in his hand, looking like he was waiting for someone.

Before his eyes caught sight of them, Zilai smiled and said, "Yo~ I'm leaving!"

"..." Orochimaru didn't speak.

"I'll wait for you in front." Looking at the two of them, it was clear that they had something to say, Sasuke dropped this sentence coldly, and walked forward.

"Uchiha boy over there, are you sure you don't want to give up the idea of ​​letting Naruto go back to the village?"

"Heh." Sasuke responded with a sneer, and walked forward without looking back, as if Jiraiya's question was just nonsense.

Zilai also sighed helplessly, and turned his head to look at him, "This temper is somewhat similar to when you were young."

"Is that all you want to say?" Orochimaru raised his eyebrows.

"Ah, I'm just a little bit envious." Zilai also smirked as he clasped his face with his fingers.

The temperature of the pupils cooled down quickly, Orochimaru left a sentence coldly, and left without looking back, "It's your own fault, who is to blame!"

Hanging his head weakly, Jiraiya sighed again, "It's still the same bad temper."

At this time, it was already dawn.

Turning around, he walked towards Naruto's room, muttering to himself: "Naruto and I should also leave, and Konoha's people should be arriving soon."

He knocked on the door, but no one responded, so he had to open the door by himself.

Naruto seemed to be still nestled on the bed, the quilt was arched up.

This kid is not still sleeping.Raising his eyebrows, Zilai was about to lift his quilt, but he didn't expect to hear a muffled sound coming from inside without touching the quilt.

"Sasuke, let's go."

Some people didn't expect this kind of situation, and Zilai also froze for a moment.The next second, the quilt was lifted from the inside, and the young man sat cross-legged on the bed, looking a little unhappy.

"Sure enough." He tried his best to raise a smile, but failed in the end.The blue eyes dimmed a little, and even the blond hair that looked like sunshine became listless, "I thought Sasuke would always get along so well during the period when he didn't complete the mission."

Putting his hand on Naruto's head, Jiraiya also said softly, "Disappointed?"

"A little bit." Clasping his fingers, Naruto lowered his head all the time, "Hey, lecherous sage, am I a failure for holding the idea of ​​'I hope Sasuke's mission has never been completed'?"

Jiraiya sighed, then lay down next to Naruto, "It seems a bit."

"Hey! Lecherous Immortal! Can't you comfort me, let me tell you!" Seemingly dissatisfied with Jiraiya's answer, Naruto pushed him, and then imitated Jiraiya's appearance and lay down beside him.

"Well, but it's normal to think like this."

Unexpectedly, Naruto's eyes widened, and he turned his face to look at Jiraiya with some surprise in his eyes.

"Don't look at me like that! After all, I have thought this way before! I hope to be able to stay with my friends forever." Looking at the ceiling, Jilai also smiled, "Naruto, you have to listen to me and Orochimaru's story?"

"Oshemaru? That master of Sasuke? Ah!" Suddenly, Naruto seemed to think of something, and he bounced it up and pointed at Jilai and said loudly, "The old lover that uncle once said that you have been secretly looking back at Konoha is Orochimaru What?!"

"What old lover?! It's a friend! A friend! Don't listen to Junnosuke's nonsense!" Zilai also became a little angry.

"Okay, okay, we're friends." Naruto rolled his eyes, and that extremely perfunctory tone made Ziraiya's teeth itch with hatred.

"Do you still want to listen to the story carefully!" Zilai also said angrily.

"Listen!" Naruto replied quickly, and then lay down, as if listening to the story.

"At that time, we were about the same age as when we first met you. We had the same relationship as you and Sasuke. We helped each other and competed with each other. Orochimaru became the most beloved disciple of Master because of his excellence, and I was just like you , a crane tail." When he said this, he seemed to think of something, and couldn't help smiling, "At that time, Dashemaru was still a very kind child."

"Kindness?!" That snake-like man, the word kindness doesn't fit! ! !Naruto couldn't help screaming.

Seeing Naruto's appearance, he knew what he was thinking, so he couldn't help laughing.He patted Naruto on the head, holding back his smile, but his tone was very serious: "Naruto, no one is born like that. The cruelty of our era was far beyond your imagination. Companions died one after another, and you You can never know whether death will come to you in the next second. At that time, even his parents died. It is precisely because of that that he slowly understands the fragility of life. Then, he started Slowly study the forbidden technique."

Naruto's eyes widened, "Forbidden technique?"

"En." Zilai also nodded, his expression turned bitter, "Forbidden techniques of immortality and resurrection of the dead. You must know that these are some techniques that desecrate the dead, things that are not forgiven! Unfortunately, that I was just a dull fool then!"

"If, at that time, I would have known..." Ji Lai also slowly tightened his fingers, unable to speak further.

"If it's according to what you said, Sasuke Sensei, shouldn't it be Sasuke's master who left the village?" Naruto asked suspiciously.

"Yes, if this is the case, it is true that Orochimaru defected to the village in the end. But," Jiraiya also smiled, "I still know, I discovered this by accident, before everyone knew about it. .”

"Then did you stop it?"

"Of course I will stop it! But, it's useless. At that time, Orochimaru was already stubborn to a certain level, and there was nothing he could do about it."

——"Oshemaru, stop before Master finds out."

—— "Oh, I won't stop! If you can't see it, go and report to Master."

He still remembered that person's indifferent tone, and then slowly walked into the corridor, the darkness in the depths seemed to engulf him.

But, he still couldn't say it.If you tell the master desperately, the furious master will definitely drive Orochimaru out of Konoha.At that time, Orochimaru without Master by his side will be even more irreversible.Although he is usually not very bright, but he still understands the truth.

"What's next?"

Naruto's urgent question brought him back to his senses, and Jilai also smiled, and put his hands behind his head: "Later, I didn't go to tell Master about it, but I didn't go to stand by Dashewan either. Instead, use my method to persuade him bit by bit.”

"Later, that bastard in Danzo!" The original frivolous eyes instantly became fierce, "After that bastard thought that the threat of Orochimaru became bigger and out of his control, he chose to throw the matter of Orochimaru to others. Fortunately, Fortunately, I, who has been paying attention to this matter, still know.”

"So, lecherous sage, you took the place of senior Dashewan?" Naruto asked hesitantly.

"Yes." Jilai also smiled, looking at Naruto with serious eyes, "Naruto, do you know that when your friend is falling into the abyss, you have only two choices: one is to let go, and the other is to let go. One is to hold him. However, when you choose the second option, it is impossible to be alone anyway, because when you pull him, you are also falling. So, in the end, I couldn’t hold him anymore, I can only use up the last bit of strength to throw him to a balcony in the cliff, and then fall down by myself."

"You and Sasuke are like me and Orochimaru. In the end, I just threw him in the middle of the cliff, where it's not awkward. But, I don't want Sasuke to be like me."

"Sasuke is different! Absolutely, absolutely will not let Sasuke fall! So, I will try my best to climb to the top of the cliff!" Clenching his hands, Naruto looked at Jiraiya seriously, as if taking an oath said.

"Well~" Zilai also smiled helplessly, and the previously condensed serious atmosphere became more relaxed, "You idiot."

"What idiot, the lecherous fairy is the big idiot!" Naruto said quite dissatisfied.

"I'm just an idiot." Ziraiya murmured while looking at the ceiling with his hands and feet flat on the ground.He will never forget that person gave him the shed skin of the white snake with an awkward look, and then told him not to die.However, this big fool of him still left him alone in the name of redemption.

What a fool!
