Konoha's Master of Illusion

Chapter 136 Continue as usual
"Hehe, literally."

Orochimaru deliberately remained mysterious and did not say it directly, but looked at Tetsuya:

"I have something I want to talk to Tetsuya-kun alone."

This is obviously to drive Kakuzu away and talk to Tetsuya about some secret things that cannot be heard by others. Faced with this situation, Kakuzu can only choose to avoid the two of them temporarily.

These two guys obviously know each other and have a somewhat unclear relationship with each other.

If he insists on staying, it is not impossible for others to join forces and kill him.For the sake of his own safety, Kakuzu of course had to take a few quick steps to stay away from these two people.

Of course, he also tried to leave some means to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two.

This is not considered a taboo, and it won’t be a big deal if you are discovered.

"Orochimaru-senpai, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

When Kakuzu was far away, Tetsuya got straight to the point.

The long scarlet tongue stuck out of his lips, and Orochimaru's long pale face showed a strange smile. Then he saw the tongue shoot down into the ground like an arrow from the string, gouging through the hard surface layer of gravel and soil, and wrapped around something.

As it retracted into the air, it was possible to see clearly that the front end of the sticky and slender tongue was tightly bound, and it was a mass of black thread-like substance that was twisting and struggling.

It is the land grievances of Jiaodu.

Tetsuya was not surprised. This strange creature created by secret techniques was mainly formed from chakra structure, and could not escape the detection of his perception ability.

However, he didn't care whether Kakuzu was eavesdropping or not. If Orochimaru wanted to say something shameful, he would pay attention to keeping it confidential. If it was insignificant content, there would be no need to waste the effort.

Orochimaru probably couldn't kill this small ball of resentment with his tongue alone, and he didn't want to waste time. After pulling out the thing, his tongue loosened, and he saw a black ball of lint material running towards Kakuzu. , disappeared for a moment.

"Haha, actually I came here specifically to thank Tetsuya-kun for the information he gave me. Especially after returning to Akatsuki, I gradually began to believe in what the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki said."

For Orochimaru, the idea of ​​ten-tailed Jinchuriki's eternal life is as attractive as putting all the secret arts of the ninja world in front of him.

Because the two can basically be equated.

Growing up in Konoha when he was young, he was used to seeing the joys and sorrows of life and death during the war. Especially after his disciple Naoki simply died in the detonating charm trap, Orochimaru gradually found what he wanted.

That was his pursuit in life.

For this reason, it is necessary to live as long as possible or even infinitely to explore this goal that may never have an answer.It can be said that all the evil things Orochimaru did originated from this ideal. He was a pure researcher, a person who longed for knowledge to bring him endless pleasure, and there was nothing else.

Orochimaru has seen too much fragility of human beings, so he is unwilling to base his happiness on connecting with other people, because it is destined to be short-lived and ultimately painful.

Only knowledge, compared to being illusory and illusory, will eventually be shattered. The happiness it brings will be sure and trouble-free.

The intelligence content provided by Tetsuya only contained many fragments of information, and Orochimaru had his own intelligence channels. After investigating and collecting with the help of Ontology's resources, he gradually learned from the activities of the Akatsuki organization, vague descriptions in many legends, and even subjective inferences. The words "Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki", "Six Paths Sage", "Eternal Life" and so on are connected.

And it is a logical sequence with cause and effect, rather than a simple list.

"That's the truth. I'm just telling the truth."

Tetsuya shrugged.

"Don't be too busy denying it. In fact, I know one thing very well. Tetsuya-kun told me about the opportunity of eternal life, just to use me to destroy the Akatsuki organization's plan."

The long tongue finally retracted into his mouth, and Orochimaru no longer had a weird accent without tongue adjustment when he spoke:

"It's just that I feel a little weird."

"If Tetsuya-kun's purpose is to prevent Akatsuki from destroying this world, then wouldn't you be helping them by bringing me here? What I want is eternal life, so at least I have to wait until Akatsuki collects the nine tailed beasts. That way , how about protecting the ninja world?"

"Either Tetsuya-kun is actually just a hypocrite, and his real purpose is not to protect Konoha and the ninja world."

"Of course it's most likely to be one, I guessed it."

When Orochimaru said this, he paused:
"That's because the Akatsuki organization is so powerful that Tetsuya-kun basically can't think of a way to stop the opponent head-on, so he introduced me as a variable in order to disrupt the situation."

"How is it? Is my guess accurate?"

Zheya was a little dumbfounded. He really didn't expect this guy to analyze his motives carefully.

And there is nothing wrong with what Orochimaru said. When he lured Orochimaru back to the Akatsuki organization, he must have felt that Akatsuki's power was too strong and he could not resist it. With so many uncertain factors like Orochimaru, there was no telling whether he would be able to fish in troubled waters. Opportunity.

But now, he thought of a better idea, which could directly stop Xiao. This previous plan had the tendency to shoot himself in the foot.

But then I thought about it, Orochimaru didn't know what he was thinking, so why not take advantage of it?
"Since you want to thank me, why don't Orochimaru-senpai do one more thing for me?"

"tell me the story."

Orochimaru said with interest.

"I have actually admired Itachi-senpai for a long time, but unfortunately I didn't have a chance to talk to him during the previous meeting, so I would like to ask Orochimaru-senpai to help me contact him and agree on a time to meet."

"I believe that Orochimaru-senpai must have a solution, right?"

Tetsuya was right, Orochimaru did have a way to contact Uchiha Itachi.

But when he heard the name Itachi, Orochimaru did feel a little scared in his heart.

This is because the mental trauma caused by Tsukuyomi to him was very serious. Although Tetsuya's imitation Tsukuyomi later was very similar to Uchiha Itachi's Tsukuyomi, the first time was always the most impressive and the most likely to cause some stress reactions. of.

"It's okay"

Orochimaru also has the ability to send messages between two people, but he is obviously not very willing:

"But this is not the thank you gift I prepared for Tetsuya-kun. It is to help you get out of the danger of losing your life. Don't you want to hear about this?"

Zheye really didn't think of this, so he asked:

"Is it about this mission?"

"That's right."

……

Kakuzu, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Tetsuya slowly walking over. He didn't feel embarrassed at all when he was caught trying to eavesdrop. He just asked with concern:
"How's it going? What did that guy say? Is there something wrong with this mission?"

Zheye told him immediately.

"What? These guys are so vicious, they actually used this kind of conspiracy against us! Forget it, report it to the leader quickly and cancel this mission."

Kakuzu found a place to squat down, and used the magic lantern body technique to contact the organization and apply to abandon the mission.

As a result, when he opened his eyes, he felt a little downcast:
"Well, the leader said that the mission will continue as usual. We must complete the goal, otherwise we won't get the money."
