NOVEL NEXT Chapter 148: Why Don't You Come Here Too
"Orochimaru?"
At the entrance of Uzushiogakure Village, the air suddenly became silent at the moment when the two sides met.
Jiraiya stood there blankly, his trembling pupils reflected the familiar yet unfamiliar figure of the young man.
Although many years had passed in a flash, the former companions had long grown up and were no longer the same as they were when they were young.
But based on the unique aura on the other party and the unchanging gaze, he still recognized the other party at a glance.
"You are... Orochimaru!"
Orochimaru's expression was calm. Compared with Jiraiya's shocked and complicated expression, his performance was much calmer. He just raised his head slightly and nodded to the two lightly:
"Oh, it's me."
The breeze blew the leaves, rustling.
Tsunade suddenly took a step forward, her skirt fluttering and her hair moving without wind.
Feeling the aura suddenly emanating from Tsunade's body, Nawaki trembled suddenly and said worriedly: "Um... sister..."
He stretched out his hand, trying to grab his sister's sleeve, but was stopped by Jiraiya.
Nawaki raised his head in confusion, but saw his teacher shaking his head at him, his face serious.
"You..." Tsunade continued to move forward, her lowered eyes shrouded in shadows, like dark clouds covering the sky, so gloomy that water was about to drip out.
"This..."
With a loud "boom", she stomped the ground to pieces, blue veins appeared on her white forehead, and her eyes widened, indicating soaring rage.
In the next instant, she shot up like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus rex, raising her fist and killing Orochimaru.
The strong wind surged, slightly blowing Orochimaru's long hair, but his expression remained indifferent.
"Boom!"
There was another loud noise, and the ground suddenly burst, stirring up billowing smoke!
"Wow wow wow!" A group of Uzumaki people were blown away by the force. In the sky full of red hair, the corpse of a sea beast was thrown out and fell heavily.
When the smoke dissipated with the wind, there was a pit with a diameter of ten meters in the original place, and the edge of the pit was covered with dense cracks.
Tsunade stood impressively in the center of the pit, but there was no one around, let alone Orochimaru, even the figures of the group of Uzumaki people were gone.
"Is this a long-awaited reunion hug?" A low and hoarse voice came from the front.
Tsunade suddenly raised her head and saw Orochimaru standing leisurely dozens of meters away, raising his right hand high. Dozens of huge vipers poured out from his wide sleeves, entwining themselves around the waists of the Uzumaki people, pulling them back behind him.
"This..."
Tsunade's pupils shrank slightly, not shocked by Orochimaru's speed, but with fear.
She had punched out completely in anger, completely disregarding the consequences. If she had really hurt the Uzumaki people, the mission would have been directly ruined.
"Fortunately..." Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief. Past painful experiences proved that he could not stop the out-of-control Tsunade except by fighting to the death.
One afternoon a few years ago, he had peeked at Tsunade's hot spring bath, and as a result, he was accidentally detected by the other party and was hit in the abdomen by an angry Tsunade with a Superhuman Strength punch.
That punch carried naked and undisguised killing intent, and nothing he said or did could stop it.
The result was that his ribs were broken, and his internal organs were displaced. He fainted on the spot, and when he woke up again, it was already 3 months later.
He had been lying on the bed in Konoha Hospital for a full 3 months!
Since that time, he never dared to peek at Tsunade taking a bath again, and at the same time, he never tried to stop an angry Tsunade again.
"Tsunade, you are still the same as before. I really don't know if this is lucky or unfortunate."
Orochimaru licked his lips, and the amber vertical pupils flowed with excited light.
"Shut up, you traitor!"
After hearing what he said, Tsunade immediately jumped out of the pit. The little bit of reason she had recovered disappeared, and she was replaced by a full of anger again.
Orochimaru scanned her up and down, "Looking at you, even if I am skinned and boned, it is difficult to eliminate your anger?"
"Skinning and boning, that's not my method." Tsunade put her fists together, making a dull impact sound, "I prefer to break your hands and feet and tie you back to Konoha!"
"Hahahaha." Orochimaru suddenly laughed loudly and tilted his head, "I am actually a little curious, why do you hate me so much?"
Tsunade clenched her fists, making a clattering sound, "Isn't it because you betrayed us!"
At this time, Jiraiya stepped forward slowly, his tone low, "Orochimaru, you took advantage of the turmoil in the village that year and defected to the village with Orochimaru, taking away precious experimental materials and documents. I remember these accounts clearly."
Orochimaru shook his head and chuckled, "Don't get me wrong, I did betray Konoha, but I did not betray... you."
"What?"
"Don't you understand what I mean? I mean, you are you, not the vassal of that thing called the village."
While speaking, Orochimaru's sleeves fluttered, and vipers quickly recovered, shrinking into his sleeves and disappearing.
Tsunade looked stunned, and then snorted coldly, "Orochimaru, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Of course I know." Orochimaru's eyes were calm, "Leaving Konoha was the most correct choice I have ever made."
"You... you..." Jiraiya opened his eyes wide, and these rebellious words made his chest feel stuffy, "Aren't you afraid of being sorry for the teacher's teachings by doing this? Isn't it disappointing the trust of your companions?"
"Teachings?" Orochimaru's mouth turned up,勾起 a disdainful arc, "To be honest, three years of cultivation with him is not as good as one month of cultivation with that one."
"That one?" Tsunade frowned slightly.
"This has nothing to do with you. Similarly, my leaving Konoha has nothing to do with you either."
"Orochimaru, wake up, we are companions who fought side by side!" Jiraiya's face was slightly distorted, "Do you... really want to cut off all the bonds of the past?"
Orochimaru shook his head, "I am not going to cut off the bonds, nor is there any need to. You ask yourselves, have I ever done anything to betray you after I left Konoha?"
"This..."
"You have already betrayed us from the moment you decided to leave the village, you bastard!" Tsunade's face was gloomy, "You are like this, and so is Nien. Are you all... have you been poured with ecstasy by someone!"
"If you really care about this..." Orochimaru's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but think of the scenes of the Dragon Land Cave trying his heart. He slowly raised his palm, as if to hold someone's hand.
"...Why don't you come too."
This time, what was in front of him was not the illusion of Tajitsuhime, but the genuine, former companions.
Jiraiya was stunned, as if petrified inch by inch, while Tsunade trembled with anger.
"Bastard, do you know what you are talking about!" As soon as the words fell, her figure disappeared again.
A sharp wind covered the top of his head, and Orochimaru looked up slightly. In the vertical pupils, the graceful figure with a high raised leg was reflected.
"Heavenly Foot of Pain!"
At this moment, the Uzumaki people behind him had already dispersed and exited the safe distance, so Tsunade had no scruples.
"Well, let me see what your so-called village has taught you all these years!"
