Naruto: Starting from Tsunade-san.

Orochimaru was quite interested in this topic as to what effect it would have if the god of death was used as a container to seal the soul of the demon.

In fact, it's not just this matter that Orochimaru is interested in. Orochimaru is also interested in anything related to the soul.

He hopes that by studying these things, he can one day resurrect his dead parents.

But things related to the soul are too mysterious. Even his knowledgeable mentor is like a baby who has just started to understand this aspect.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru sighed.

If he follows this pace, when will he be able to make a breakthrough?

unless……

Orochimaru seemed to have thought of something, his pupils shrank, he shook his head, and discarded this extremely dangerous idea.

Although he was a lonely man, he still couldn't do this kind of behavior of wantonly trampling and playing with life.

"Orochimaru, what's wrong with you?"

Jiraiya noticed that he seemed to have something on his mind and became concerned.

Among his companions, he is the only close friend who is still single, so be careful.

If that little girl had taken advantage of him that day, wouldn't it mean that Jiraiya would be the only one who would remain single in the future?

"nothing."

Orochimaru said casually, even he was startled by the idea of ​​such danger.

Although Jiraiya was hesitant, he did not choose to get to the bottom of things.

Because it was very boring at night, and he was surrounded by a group of strangers who were old men. Bored, Jiraiya could only continue to have a chat with Orochimaru.

"Tell me, other than sealing the monster, is there any other way in the world to deal with this troublesome monster?"

"If there was a way, miko maidens in the past would not risk their lives every time to seal the monsters." Orochimaru shook his head and copied what the miko said:

“Even if you kill the sprite, it will be reborn randomly in a corner of the world, and it won’t be that easy to find it then.

"If the monster goes dormant during this period and continues to absorb negative emotions to grow, then it will be troublesome.

"So, choosing to seal the monsters is the best choice."

Jiraiya sighed, and suddenly it was as if his head had opened up, and he had a flash of inspiration: "You said that the sprite can be resurrected infinitely, does it have something to do with its soul?"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and motioned for him to continue.

Jiraiya continued: "Perhaps, what we usually call death is actually a death in a narrower sense."

"narrow sense?"

Hearing this word, Orochimaru couldn't help but smile: "I never thought that you could occasionally say one or two decent words, Jiraiya."

Jiraiya felt slighted and snorted unhappily: "What do you mean by a guy like me? You might as well explain it clearly."

Orochimaru smiled and said: "I think I have made it very clear..."

Jiraiya gritted his teeth: "As expected, you and I still can't get along..."

Orochimaru asked: "Then what do you mean by the narrow sense just now?"

"Hey, do you want to know?" Jiraiya showed a cunning expression: "I'll tell you if you ask."

Orochimaru said lightly, as if he didn't have a cold.

Jiraiya was stunned, why didn't Orochimaru act according to common sense?

As if he had seen through Jiraiya's thoughts, Orochimaru said with a smile: "Rather than me wanting to know, Jiraiya is the one who wants to talk more."

This bastard guessed it...

This opportunity is rare, and Jiraiya is eager to show off in front of Orochimaru: You really understand me. To be honest, if you were a woman, maybe I would pursue you. "

Orochimaru moved his legs slightly, stepped back, and looked at Jiraiya with a strange look in his eyes: "Although I am not interested in women, I also have no need for men in that regard."

Jiraiya corrected loudly, "I meant if you were a woman."

Orochimaru looked at him and continued, "But if you didn't have some feelings about me, you wouldn't have that kind of thought, right?" Orochimaru's words made sense, and Jiraiya began to doubt himself.

Is it rare that I actually have feelings for Orochimaru?

He is a hidden...

Jiraiya:!!!?

This idea is too dangerous...

Jiraiya was startled, coughed twice quickly, and changed the topic: "Let's go back to the topic just now."

Orochimaru nodded slightly.

Jiraiya organized his words: "Usually when we say killing a person, we actually mean destroying their physical body.

"But as for the soul, we can't kill it even if we want to, because we don't have the method to destroy it."

Orochimaru thought for a moment and understood Jiraiya's idea immediately:

"If we define it by whether or not it can kill the soul, then in a narrow sense, killing the target refers to killing the creature's body, while in a broad sense, it means destroying both the body and the soul, right?"

Jiraiya raised a finger. "That's my line of thought, and if we follow this definition, we'll find an interesting phenomenon."

"Interesting phenomenon?"

"Yes, think about why the miko deliberately separated the ghost into a soul and a body. On the surface, it seems to be to weaken the ghost's powerful power, but there is actually something deeper."

After a brief reminder, Orochimaru analyzed: "If you kill the body directly, without the restraint of the body, the soul will be unable to be sealed, right?"

Jiraiya tutted and complained, "Can't you just let me show off a little bit?"

Orochimaru smiled. "Interesting! If this hypothesis is true, the body may not only be a container for the soul, but also have a certain degree of restraint on the soul."

Jiraiya nodded: "I'm afraid so..."

Orochimaru glanced at Jiraiya and said, "But what can we do after knowing this?

"As far as I know, there doesn't seem to be any ninjutsu in this world that can kill souls."

Jiraiya's train of thought was unusual, and he thought in a different way: "What if it's absorption or swallowing?"

Hearing this, Orochimaru couldn't help but laugh, as if he heard a good joke.

Jiraiya was stunned: "What are you laughing at?"

Orochimaru said speechlessly: "Let's not talk about whether there is such a ninjutsu as devouring souls in this world. Even if there is, a soul like a Wuliang that has gathered countless negative emotions, do you think a normal person will still be a normal person if he absorbs the Wuliang?

"It's good enough if I don't become the second Wuliang. I might even become a being more terrifying than the Wuliang."

Jiraiya scratched his head without thinking and said, "That's true."

"but……"

Orochimaru paused for a moment as if he had thought of something.

Jiraiya curiously asked, "But what?"

Orochimaru laughed and said, "If a person possesses such a terrifying ability as absorbing souls, then this person is not a normal human being."

"It's really troublesome. Forget it. Let's leave the task of taming monsters to professionals. I'd better not get involved."

The more he talked, the more complicated it became, and Jiraiya gave up on how to deal with the monsters.

As he was speaking, he suddenly had a stomachache. He knelt on his knees, covered his stomach with his hands, and made a painful sound.

Seeing that he was pretending quite well, Orochimaru thought that he was just using the same old trick: "Jiraiya, the same little trick won't work on me."

"Are you kidding me by looking at me like this?"

Veins bulged on Jiraiya's face, his complexion was pale, and beads of sweat appeared on his face.

Orochimaru noticed something was wrong and his expression froze.

At this moment, a strange and triumphant laugh came from nearby: "Has the drug finally taken effect?"

Orochimaru turned his head and saw a familiar face. It was the soldier who had just handed him the rice ball.

It was obvious that the guy who poisoned him was the guy in front of him. There was no time to be surprised or ask questions.

Orochimaru quickly formed hand seals and summoned several shadow clones to protect him.

He quickly took out the antidote specially prepared by Tsunade from the package.

This antidote can detoxify most of the poisons in the world. Even if it doesn't work, it can at least relieve certain symptoms.

After dealing with all this urgently, Orochimaru immediately said a few words to the slug lying on his shoulder, asking it to tell Aokiji to seek support.

On the other side, the soldiers of the Ghost Country noticed that one of them had made a judgment, and quickly pointed their spears at the traitor: "You are not him, who are you?"

"Hmph, the response was quick," the soldier said with a wicked grin. "But it wasn't fast enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, as if receiving some order, a series of explosions sounded around him, and the soldiers of the Demon Country who were unable to dodge were immediately blown into a bloody mess.

Orochimaru listened to the sound and determined the direction. He looked up and saw black shadows passing by one after another.

In the darkness, Orochimaru saw the flying outfit in the sky and showed a very surprised expression: "Sky Ninja..."

"While it would be fun to admire your shocked expression right now, I have more important things to do."

The enemy had a strong sense of purpose. After saying this, he took advantage of the cover of the air ninja and ran straight into the ancestral hall.

"Don't try to succeed."

Orochimaru raised his arm and summoned a summoning snake to fly and tightly wrap around the enemy.

The enemy slowed down his pace, looked at the python on his body, yelled "Don't block the way" and tore the psychic snake off his body.

Orochimaru was shocked.

What a powerful guy! He was able to break free from the Snake Shadow's restraints with just brute force.

The enemy who broke free from the snake shadow's clutches was not idle. He kicked open the heavy stone door. The environment inside the door was dark, with a cold breeze blowing out from time to time. The only source of light was the torch on the wall.

The enemy turned around and looked at Orochimaru with a provocative look: "Follow me if you have the guts."

After saying this, he plunged into the darkness.

The enemy's capabilities are still unclear, so Orochimaru, out of caution, chooses to send shadow clones to pursue.

First, slow down the enemy's progress.

Secondly, to gather intelligence and try to get enough information for Aokiji when he returns to help him win.

In this battle, he had a very clear positioning for himself, which was not to fight, but to wait for support and protect the poisoned Jiraiya.

This place is some distance away from the shrine. Aokiji is very fast and will be able to arrive quickly after receiving the notification from the slug in no time.

……

……

"here it is……"

Several clones of Orochimaru chased along the stone steps and reached the door. Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the dim vision.

Looking towards the distance following the light, I saw a circular image floating in the air in the distance ahead, emitting bright light.

Directly below the area of ​​light were six towering pillars, surrounding a large gate with a huge stone tied with a hemp rope on top.

"this is……"

The hemp rope tied to the huge stone is called "Shimenawa", which has the cultural symbol of purification. It is easy to imagine what it is purifying and why go to so much trouble.

"Wrath..."

Orochimaru uttered two words from his mouth.

Chapter 308 Zero Tail x Ghost

The man passed through the light film lowered by the magic circle, stepped into it, walked up the steps, squinted his eyes, and looked at the door that sealed the monster: "Finally arrived here... monster."

There was no need to disguise anymore. He took off his disguise and his clothes flew away, revealing his true appearance.

At this time, Orochimaru had already arrived. Looking at the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who turned around, he stared and asked: "If I guessed correctly, you should be a remnant of the Kingdom of Kong."
