It’s just that Orochimaru reveres life, and because of his reverence, he has faith. With faith, he embarks on a desperate journey to pursue the true meaning of life.
And Hatake Akira was also keenly aware that Orochimaru's attitude towards him was somewhat subtle.
This made Hatake Akira feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Could it be that... Orochimaru is targeting him? !
Chapter 132 Orochimaru's Promise.
"how so……"
"how so!"
boom!
Boom!
Wow!
In the Sand Village Ninja Camp, from Rasa's tent, came his angry roar and the sound of some items being smashed.
"Your Highness, the Fourth Kazekage, it is not easy to get angry given your current injuries..."
"I want to, but how can I not get angry?"
The expression on the face of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa was distorted, and his chest was heaving like a bellows. Large stains of blood were oozing from his chest, which was originally wrapped in white gauze.
"The Yondaime Kazekage-sama... the wound has burst open!"
"I know."
The Fourth Kazekage Rasa refused the medical ninja who wanted to treat his injuries, "I know the extent of my own injuries. Please go out and call Chiyo over."
"No need, I've already come here myself."
Chiyo is not yet old enough to have to use a cane, and the wrinkles on her face are not so numerous as to obscure her original appearance. One can still vaguely recognize her beauty and charm in her youth.
"I wonder if the Fourth Hokage has something to tell me?"
"I plan to temporarily withdraw the main force from the Land of Fire and station them in the Land of Rivers. If necessary, I can give up part of the Land of Rivers."
Luo Sha was a little discouraged, and the arrogance he had when he first became the Fourth Kazekage had now disappeared by most of its force.
He originally thought that he could use this war to establish himself as the Fourth Kazekage, but the successive blows still made Luosha doubt his life.
He almost died at the hands of Orochimaru just now!
Moreover, Fenfu was held back by a little-known junior and has not returned until now!
As time went by, Luo Sha was 70% sure that the old monk Fenfu was dead...
"Yondaime, do you think we've lost?" Chiyo said with an unhappy look on her face, "The Sand Village still has me and my brother Ebizo!"
"You are old... and you should also share the blessing with him..."
"What did you say?! What happened to Bonfuku?!"
"Fenfu has disappeared since we retreated. And considering Fenfu's personality, it's impossible for him to escape on his own."
"It's really impossible for him to escape secretly..." Chiyo said in a low voice, "Do you know who did it?"
"I didn't see that brat in the previous battle with Orochimaru's troops, but his appearance... reminded me of someone."
"Who?!"
Luo Sha subconsciously glanced at Chiyo, bit his lower lip, and slowly uttered four words, "Hatake Sakumo."
"Him? Konoha White Fang? Are you sure?!"
"I have dealt with Hatake Sakumo a few times when I was on a mission. That kid looks about 50% similar to Hatake Sakumo. I recognize him."
"Where is he! Now?!"
Chiyo's originally cloudy eyes suddenly brightened, and the emotion called hatred filled her whole body.
She will never forget how her son and daughter-in-law died tragically at the hands of Hatake Sakumo's sword!
Before the war started, Chiyo received the news that Hatake Sakumo would never be able to become a ninja again. When she thought that she would never be able to avenge her son's murder, suddenly there was a turn for the better.
With hands like eagle claws tightly grasping Luo Sha's arms, Chiyo's mentality has been unbalanced, "Tell me where he is, I will go and settle accounts with him with Ebizo tomorrow!"
"Chiyo!"
Luo Sha waved his hand fiercely, "This is a war, not your personal revenge scene!" Pointing at the tent curtain, "Go out first, and come find me when you calm down!"
……
Two flowers bloomed, each with its own beauty. Just as the Sand Village's large army hastily evacuated and the Konoha Ninja Army completed cleaning the battlefield, Orochimaru came to the tent where Hatake Akira was resting.
"Lord Orochimaru, why are you here?"
"Sit down, you sit down first." Orochimaru smiled and pressed his hand towards Hatake Akira, "I just came to see if our biggest hero in this battle has had a good rest."
Ah!
I was having a good rest, but you came and disturbed everything!
Hatake Akira complained in his heart, but still managed an ugly smile, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Orochimaru."
Stare~
Orochimaru did not reply, and the smile on his lips disappeared as quickly as possible. Then his pair of snake eyes stared at Hatake Akira, as if he wanted to see through Hatake Akira.
"Hahaha, hahaha!" Suddenly, Orochimaru's signature hoarse laughter broke into Hatake Akira's ears, giving him goose bumps.
"Ming Jun, we both know who we are. It's boring to keep pretending like this..."
"Oh?"
A Flying Thunder God Kunai appeared in Hatake Akira's hand at some point. After spinning it twice on his fingertips, Hatake Akira took the Flying Thunder God Kunai in his backhand.
"Lord Orochimaru, I don't know what you are talking about."
"Ming-kun, I am actually a very good friend of your father. You probably don't know this." Orochimaru licked his lips, "At least we used to be."
"Then I have to call you...Uncle?"
"I have no objection to calling me that." Orochimaru pointed at the Flying Thunder God Kunai in Hatake Akira's hand, "You shouldn't be so wary of your uncle, right?"
"It's true that you shouldn't, but you are Orochimaru."
"It seems that Ming has a deep misunderstanding with me." Orochimaru smiled indifferently, "Can you tell me the specific reason?"
Can this be said?
Hatake Akira shook his head and without further explanation, he asked about Orochimaru's real purpose.
"Lord Orochimaru, you came here so late not just to catch up with me, right? Besides, apart from my father, I don't have much experience with you."
"Then I'll be frank." Orochimaru looked deeply at Hatake Akira, "I'm very interested in your special auxiliary ability. I wonder if you are qualified to see it?"
really!
Hatake Akira knew that Orochimaru would not choose to come here at this time for no reason, nor would he show considerable goodwill from the moment the two met.
Everything about love is waiting for him here!
"It's just a negligible auxiliary ability, and it shouldn't be in your eyes."
"Don't underestimate yourself, Ming." Orochimaru opened his mouth and spit out a wet intelligence in his hand. "The records in this intelligence are very interesting. I think you should take a look at it."
Looking at the saliva on the newspaper, Hatake Akira resisted instinctively, but after hesitating for a while, he reached out to take it.
After spreading out the information and reading the few lines of words on it, Hatake Akira's eyes widened.
It records in detail how Hatake Akira assisted Hyuga Hizashi, allowing his Byakugan to temporarily break through the limitations of the bird in the cage, how he used his third skill to stabilize Hyuga Hizashi's near-death injuries, and all the events that took place when he was recovering Minato Namikaze and Kakashi's injuries in the field hospital.
hiss……
Orochimaru is at the southwestern border of the Land of Fire. How did he obtain such detailed intelligence?
I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.
But even if he couldn't figure it out, Hatake Akira didn't intend to hide it.
Instead of worrying about being targeted by Orochimaru every day, it’s better to come clean now.
Although we don't know whether the final result will be good or bad, the result of hiding it or confessing it is the same. In any case, Orochimaru has already targeted you.
Who knows, after Hatake Akira confessed, Orochimaru might come up with some other ideas that would be beneficial to Hatake Akira.
After all, at this stage, Orochimaru is still more focused on cooperation, and is far from reaching the crazy level of working alone in the future.
"The intelligence records are very detailed, so detailed that I find it hard to believe."
"Haha, many secrets cannot be hidden from those who are interested, and Ming is not going to hide it, right?" Orochimaru licked his lips, and the corners of his mouth curled up wildly, "Then can you let me see it?"
"of course."
Akira Hatake nodded, then suddenly raised his hand and shot out a purple-red chakra chain that wrapped around Orochimaru's waist.
With such a sudden move, Hatake Akira thought he would see Orochimaru's defensive look, or some extreme behavior.
But unfortunately, Orochimaru's eyes were very calm, so calm that it was a little scary.
“Very powerful auxiliary ability.”
Orochimaru looked down at his hands, and also took a few more glances at the purple-red chakra chain wrapped around his waist. After taking it all in, he sighed sincerely.
"All attack attributes of the body have increased by about 40%, which is slightly different from the 20% described in the previous mission report given by Minato Namikaze."
Hatake Akira's heart skipped a beat, but he still smiled as usual, "My strength is constantly increasing, so this auxiliary ability certainly can't stand still."
"This is a very normal thing, of course I understand." Orochimaru tilted his head, "But aren't you curious about how I know all this?"
"I'm not curious." Hatake Akira shook his head. "As you just said, if someone is interested in investigating, it can't be hidden from them."
"Haha, Ming really didn't disappoint."
Orochimaru didn't care. He had never intended to successfully alienate the relationship between Hatake Akira and Namikaze Minato. He just wanted to give it a try without losing anything, so he led the situation in a direction that was unfavorable to Namikaze Minato.
Hatake Akira was aware of this and naturally could not do as Orochimaru wished.
"I wonder if I can experience the next healing ability?" Orochimaru then made another request.
"You are not injured now." Hatake Akira shook his head.
