There was not a word of truth in Orochimaru's mouth, well...except for the first sentence! It was true that he wanted to defect, but the specific reason was certainly not because he had such a high consciousness and took the initiative to take the blame for the Hokage.

As for committing suicide out of fear of crime... ha? Suicide out of fear of crime? What a joke! Who do you think Orochimaru is? Is he the kind of person with a glass heart?

In fact, there is a very important factor in why Orochimaru remained unmoved when so many people blocked the door and sprayed him. It was not because Orochimaru was generous or did not care about other people's opinions... the main reason was

In fact, this news was released by Orochimaru himself!

Yes, the news that Orochimaru kidnapped villagers from the same village for experiments was actually released by Orochimaru himself... Although he was not the one behind it, but he was the source.

As for why Orochimaru did this, the reason is actually very simple, because Orochimaru himself knows very well that his current behavior will sooner or later arouse the dissatisfaction of the villagers of Konoha Village or the dissatisfaction of Konoha Village.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Early death and early rebirth. In addition, Orochimaru needs more research materials, and in Konoha Village, some things are really untouchable, just like the living people who caused this public controversy.

experiment…

Orochimaru has wanted to try it for a long time. He applied to Hiruzen Sarutobi several times to use death row prisoners for experiments, but was rejected every time. And from then on, Orochimaru's whereabouts were closely watched by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

, which is why Sarutobi Hiruzen was very sure that Orochimaru did not kidnap villagers for experiments.

But as long as Orochimaru leaves Konoha, everything will really be possible for him. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. You can't control me when I use people outside the village to conduct experiments! And he has defected.

Then there’s no need to worry about it…

The only people who knew about this were Orochimaru himself and Mr. Ashes who helped make suggestions...

The study of alchemy and ninjutsu will naturally come into contact with some things that are not understood by ordinary people or are taboos. Rather than being caught out by others and hastily dealing with them, it is better to take the initiative and directly remove yourself from the incident.

Although Ashes doesn't want Orochimaru to take a wrong path, there are some things that he can't force. Orochimaru has a heart that seeks knowledge, and he will definitely touch some taboos. This is inevitable.

This was what Orochimaru told Ashes immediately. He knew that Mr. Ashes, who seemed harmless to humans and animals as long as he didn't mess with him, was much more cold-blooded than he seemed. His feelings would only be reserved for those he cared about.

People still have part of their bottom line.

But other people... he doesn't care. But he still made a three-part agreement with Ashes. It's okay to do research, but he will never allow the elderly, children, women, or innocent people to be used for experiments.

To put it simply, only guilty adult men can be used for experiments. It seems very harsh, but in today's world, such people can be caught in large numbers, and they can be found in any larger village or town, as long as there are no bandits or bandits around.

All strange.

In this way, Orochimaru casually finalized his defection and implemented it even more easily...

All Orochimaru did was to release the news, pack his things and remain silent, wait until it was almost time to move his things out, say goodbye to everyone, and then turn around and leave...

As for who is fueling this incident, Orochimaru has already made a guess in his mind, or is very certain that it can only be the staff of the other two Hokages. There is no doubt that the two old guys, Suzuka Koharu and Mito Kadoyan,

Already…

These two old guys no longer have the enterprising spirit they had when they were young. As they age, they can only survive by relying on their prestige in the village and their status as disciples of the Second Hokage. Losing any of them will make them fall into trouble.

The endless abyss…

They were very afraid, afraid that Orochimaru would reveal their relationship with Danzo, and they were very afraid that Orochimaru would reveal some of the things they had done that were not humane to outsiders.

Just when the two of them were in a panic, they happened to hear about this incident, so they pushed the situation and added fuel to the flames. They thought that after this incident came out, no matter how much public relations Orochimaru did, his prestige would be greatly reduced, and there was nothing he could say.

No one believed it, but that was all. I didn't want to really kill Orochimaru. The two of them were still not as ruthless as Danzo.

But they didn't expect that the person involved, Orochimaru, didn't react at all, and they just watched the matter ferment. In the end, they couldn't contain it even if they wanted to, and they could only watch the matter get worse, and finally pushed Orochimaru completely to the village and the so-called

The opposite of justice…

No matter how greedy for power these two old guys are, they actually care about the village they have devoted their lives to. If Orochimaru is gone, the village's high-end combat power will be reduced by one more, which is enough to hurt Konoha Village.

My muscles are shaking...

If there were another Third Ninja War at this time, the loser would definitely be Konoha Village. The older generation of strong men would gradually withdraw from the stage of history, and the new generation would have frequent accidents... To be honest, the current Konoha Village

The real thing is that there is some slack.

Now it seems that the only person who can be dragged out to fight is Jiraiya... After all, Minato became the Hokage, Shisui was seriously injured and missing an eye, Orochimaru was trapped in the quagmire, Tsunade ran away, and committed suicide

This guy Laiya is also very unreliable, so he can't be entrusted with important tasks.

After the two elders heard from Sarutobi Hiruzen that Orochimaru was really planning to defect and leave the Leaf Village, the two old guys were really panicked. It was over. They originally wanted Orochimaru to shut up and stop talking nonsense. Now

Okay, something so serious happened...

Once this matter is revealed, it will be easy to think that Hatake Sakumo was also killed by them before, so he really died unjustly...

And now Konoha Village is a lot empty again. If something really happens, we can only rely on the hidden strong people in Konoha Village...for example, someone from the Uchiha of the weapons shop, and the master of the weapon shop owner.

Gray someone.

…

In this way, Orochimaru successfully defected and left the Country of Fire with a large bag of things. He was very comfortable. Jiraiya, who was sent to chase him, said goodbye to Orochimaru in tears... Of course, only Jiraiya shed tears.

He even personally sent Orochimaru to the border of the Land of Fire.

Orochimaru had already purchased a property for himself in Tian Country and settled down safely.

In the next period of time, Orochimaru went around hunting down bandits and thieves in Tian Country to benefit the people. The crime rate in Tian Country has been greatly reduced, which is really gratifying, gratifying...

Looking at the large number of bandits imprisoned by him, Orochimaru smiled happily. Finally... he could start. No one would care about him anymore. He could do whatever he wanted!

…

He took out a notebook from his arms, frowned slightly as he looked at the record and the formation formation on it, took out the chalk and started writing on the ground. After a while, Orochimaru finished the formation formation he had researched.

Formations were painted on the ground.

It can be clearly seen that this is a formation that has been modified countless times. Orochimaru carefully modified it to make it more perfect.

Looking at the modified formation, Orochimaru smiled with satisfaction, then pulled an unconscious bandit, threw him in the center of the formation, pressed his hands on the ground, and started this time's refining.

This alchemy experiment has been prepared by Orochimaru for a long time. Its function is very simple. It can create a human body in reverse. The alchemy technique Orochimaru is most familiar with is to refine the human body. What he has to do now is

Redevelop human beings into their original form…

The refining reaction appeared on the bandit's body, and after a moment, a large ball of paste appeared on the ground. Orochimaru took a few steps forward excitedly, not wanting to be dirty, and stretched out his hand to rummage through the paste on the ground.

.

Finally, when Orochimaru was about to give up, what he wanted was rummaged out from the pile of mush...

A small grain of red substance, only about the size of a grain of rice, was very small. If Orochimaru hadn't been careful, he wouldn't have been able to find it.

Looking at the substance with red light in his hand, Orochimaru opened his mouth and laughed happily, murmuring to himself, "Is this... the soul? I finally succeeded! But why is Lord Ashes' soul completely different from this one?"

, is it possible that Lord Ashes is not a human being? It is possible...I am really getting more and more curious."

The soul that Orochimaru has been pursuing so hard has finally been obtained! But this is only the first step. Then, you need to work harder to study this little soul. This is Orochimaru's purpose.

Orochimaru took out another notebook from his arms. The well-protected paper was wrapped in a worn cover. Orochimaru carefully opened one of the pages and read it intently...

"The Philosopher's Stone is guessed to be an aggregation of human souls. Its function is to pay the price for the alchemist and complete the impossible refining. Its shape is a red amorphous substance, but the high-quality Philosopher's Stone appears as

Gem-like..." Reading the description in the book in a low voice, Orochimaru looked at the red substance the size of a rice grain in his hand and sighed helplessly.

"As expected...a person's soul is not enough to see at all. No matter the quantity or quality...it is not satisfactory enough. I don't know how to train the soul with Lord Ashes. It seems that Lord Jing can do it. Forget it...let's do it step by step.

.One day, I will understand, I will know..."

Thinking of this, Orochimaru nodded firmly, looked at the notebook in his hand and slowly left here. As for the mess that was turned to pieces on the ground, he was the robber from before. Orochimaru would remember him, after all, it was him.

Contributed the first piece of soul to Orochimaru...that pile of goo should find a chance to give him a decent burial.
