Chapter 124 Orochimaru, a patient with persecution and paranoia

"Hello, Orochimaru..shung" Sakura said with a bright smile.

Orochimaru's current condition is obviously not good. To be precise, it should be extremely bad!

Just like what was said before, now he, let alone fighting, even needs Kabuto to support him when he walks, otherwise it would be impossible for him to even take steps on his own. Very difficult thing.

His pale face and gloomy expression formed a sharp contrast with the bright smile on Sakura's face.

Orochimaru looked at Sakura and fell into silence for a moment, while Kabuto Yakushi standing next to him did not act rashly until he received his order.

Orochimaru's eyes flashed and he thought in his mind: "This girl seems to be another teammate of Sasuke besides the Nine-Tailed Imp that I met in the Forest of Death before. Her name should be Sakura. "

"But that's not important."

"The important thing is, who will be coming with her?"

Although Sakura is now standing in front of Orochimaru, in Orochimaru's mind, Sakura is not taken seriously at all.

This is because after the Chunin Exams began, Sakura deliberately avoided Orochimaru when she showed her strength several times. Orochimaru was not present every time, so he still didn’t know that Xiao Sakura's true strength, but thinks that Sakura is just a very ordinary genin.

An ordinary genin, not to mention being taken seriously by Orochimaru, is not even qualified to be remembered by Orochimaru.

Speaking of which, the reason why Orochimaru was able to remember Sakura, a genin he looked down upon, was also due to the fact that Sakura was Sasuke's teammate, and Orochimaru remembered her name only because he loved the house and Karao.

In addition to this reason, another reason is that when Orochimaru was watching the game on a high building as Kazekage Rasa, Sakura gave up directly in the game with Gaara and left him with it. He was deeply impressed, and it was also because of this that Orochimaru was able to laugh at the Third Hokage's eyes.

The reason Orochimaru is silent now is not because of Sakura in front of him, but because he is afraid of the Konoha ninjas lurking around.

In the darkness, there must be ninjas from Konoha who came to chase him, hiding in them and watching him silently. This is what Orochimaru can guarantee %.

This girl named Sakura was probably a bait put out by the ninjas hiding in the dark, hoping to distract him.

Orochimaru judged in his heart, and he believed in his judgment very much.

Because Orochimaru knew that it was absolutely impossible and impossible for a genin to pursue him alone, and the top management of Konoha would never send a genin to kill him. This made no sense at all.

It's not that Orochimaru is bragging, but he knows very well that even if he is weak now, it seems like a gust of wind can blow him down. But Konoha doesn't know this, and considering the importance Konoha attaches to him, if they really send out to pursue him If the troops came to arrest him, the members would definitely be composed of a large number of jounin. Chunin and genin would not be eligible to participate at all, because he is a famous ninja in the ninja world and one of the legendary three ninjas. He became a rebel ninja, but this did not affect his reputation at all. It can even be said that becoming a rebel ninja only enhanced his reputation. After all, he had defected for more than ten years, and Konoha still couldn't do anything about him. , the wanted order is basically in name only.

Now, he has killed the Third Hokage of Konoha. After the news spreads, his reputation will definitely grow further.

Therefore, this also means that even if he is seriously injured, the senior officials of Konoha will never treat him with a fluke attitude.

Orochimaru was completely lost in his own thoughts. He pondered in his heart: "But, why did Konoha spend so much effort to hunt me down? They probably haven't eliminated the Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja at the scene yet. They are still in a situation of internal and external troubles, and chasing me will separate a considerable part of their combat power. For Konoha at this moment, this is not a wise choice."

"Could it be..." Orochimaru's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of a possibility, and the more he thought about it, the more likely he felt that this possibility was possible.

"Could it be that old guy Danzo saw that I was seriously injured, so he wanted to burn bridges with me?" Orochimaru thought in his heart.

A long time ago, before Orochimaru rebelled against Konoha, he had a variety of secret cooperation with Danzo, the leader of the root. Danzo was able to fuse wood escape cells and transplant the Sharingan in one arm. Among them was It is a great credit to him, and only he has the ability to do such a thing.

After Orochimaru's human experiments on Konoha ninjas were exposed and he defected from Konoha, the cooperative relationship between the two parties did not end, but instead became deeper and deeper.

In this Konoha collapse plan, he also reached an agreement with Danzo, that is, he would be responsible for killing the Third Hokage, and Danzo would be responsible for holding back most of the ninjas in Konoha as much as possible. Making it impossible for them to support the Third Hokage.

Because of this, until the end of the battle, there were only a few dozen ANBU who came to support the Third Hokage. You must know that this is Konoha's home field. How could there be only such a few people to protect the Hokage?

However, these people alone were unable to break the Four Purple Flame Formation, which ultimately led to the death of the Third Hokage.

To put it in detail, although Danzo did not directly take action in the death of the Third Hokage, his contribution to this was no less than that of Orochimaru who took action personally. If he had not tried his best to contain it, tens of thousands of ninjas in Konoha would have been killed. When they release ninjutsu at the Four Purple Flame Formation together, even if they are all genin and use the lowest level of ninjutsu, the power can directly explode the Four Purple Flame Formation.

No matter how strong the defensive power of the Four Purple Flame Formation is, it is no different from paper in the face of tens of thousands of ninjutsu.

As for why Danzo wanted to cross the river and destroy the bridge and send people to chase him, this is also easy to understand for Orochimaru.

Danzo's goal has always been to become the Hokage of Konoha. For this reason, when competing for the position of the Fourth Hokage more than ten years ago, he did not hesitate to fully support Orochimaru and oppose Namikaze Minato. This is because Danzo knew very well that if Namikaze Minato really became the Hokage, with Namikaze Minato's age advantage, coupled with his terrifying affinity, and the flying thunder god technique that can be said to be eternally invincible, then he There is absolutely no hope of becoming Hokage in this life. On the contrary, if Orochimaru becomes Hokage, then he still has a glimmer of hope. After all, he has mastered a lot of black information about Orochimaru. If it is exposed at the right time, he can Kick Orochimaru off as Hokage and replace him with him.

The reason why Danzo agreed to cooperate with Orochimaru in the Chunin Exam this time was because he had been irritated by the issue of handling phosphorus before. In addition, he was getting older and he could no longer wait any longer. If you can't wait to become Hokage, you must first kill the third generation of Hokage. After all, Hokage has a lifelong tenure. If you don't kill the previous one, he will not be able to take over. Therefore, cooperation with Orochimaru has become a matter of course. matter.

After the death of the Third Hokage, the person who is qualified to serve as the Fifth Hokage in Konoha is none other than Danzo. (Orochimaru didn’t know that Jiraiya had returned to Konoha)

Although Kakashi is also qualified to become Hokage, he is now far inferior to Danzo in terms of prestige and strength, and it is impossible to compete with Danzo.

But Danzo has a hidden danger, that is, while he has the black information about Orochimaru, Orochimaru also has the black information about him. If Orochimaru exposes this black information, then Danzo will not even think about it. Not only that, let alone becoming Hokage, not to mention anything else, just for murdering Hokage, if it is exposed, he can be executed directly.

Of course, Orochimaru will not take the initiative to expose these things. After all, Danzo is still his important partner. If the other party becomes Hokage and has greater rights, then the cooperation with him can be more in-depth. , which is more in line with his interests. After all, he has no interest in the position of Hokage now, and it doesn't matter whoever takes it.

But hidden dangers are hidden dangers after all. Although Orochimaru has no intention of exposing these, it is still a potential threat to Danzo. If Orochimaru is in his usual state, Danzo may not be careful. , but with his current bad state, and with what he knew about Danzo's character, it was perfectly normal for him to want to kill people, burn bridges, and avoid future troubles forever.

The bloody lesson of the Uchiha clan is before our eyes. The entire clan was wiped out, leaving only Sasuke as an orphan. This was because of Itachi's strong request and his external deterrent. Otherwise, how could the two pillars grow up safely? It can be said that, If Itachi died outside one day, Danzo could kill Sasuke the next day.

Not only that, the reason why Orochimaru is so sure of his judgment, in addition to these speculations, is also because only the Hokage can do this if he wants to mobilize multiple Jonin to hunt him down, but the third Hokage is already dead.

Orochimaru thought: "The old man of the Third Hokage is dead, and in such a short period of time, it is impossible to elect the Fifth Hokage immediately."

"So that means the three immortal guys from the Elder Council are probably the ones who control the entire power of Konoha now."

"And among these three old guys, Mito Monobu and Koharu Koharu are all following Danzo. In other words, all the power in Konoha is actually concentrated in Danzo alone. Only he can mobilize so many jounin to hunt me down."

Orochimaru's eyes flashed with anger, and he also revealed a shocking killing intent: "Duanzo, how dare you do this to me, I will definitely make you pay the price!"
