Even after figuring out the whole cause and effect, Orochimaru’s pressure was not relieved.

He wanted to escape from Hiruzen Sensei, but until now he had no idea how to do it.

It’s like participating in the Ninja World Unregulated Fighting Tournament. Considering the age factor, even though the two people’s true strength may be similar…

However, the experience of being abused by Sarutobi Hiruzen in the past still cast a shadow on Orochimaru’s heart. When a real battle breaks out, this shadow will continue to affect Orochimaru’s performance like a DEBUFF.

To describe it with the vulgar language of the common people is – “Yuan Yi Er”

But looking at the surrounding environment, he was sealed in a barrier, and there might be a large number of Konoha ninjas waiting for him outside.

If you don’t show your true ability now and still have fear about your cowardly past in your heart, you will die.

However, this also gave Orochimaru a glimmer of hope.

The only person who came was Sarutobi Hiruzen. Although I don’t know what his reason was, he summoned three shadow clones to maintain the operation of the [Three-Party Barrier] and came to attack him without any help.

That’s a bit too arrogant.

Orochimaru’s eyes gradually became firm as he looked at his teacher whose face was full of wrinkles and murderous intent:

“This battle…”

“I will win.”

……

……

Gojo Jieyue huddled in his safe house, listening to the report from Gin.

Compared to ninjas, ordinary people delivering messages are more confusing.

“To be honest, I can go out now. The fish I want to catch have been hooked. The people who have the ability to assassinate me are practicing the Wood Man Dao in the underground laboratory and working as a Kami in the Hidden Rain Village.”

“But I still didn’t go out, you know why not, Gin.”

Gin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “Your Excellency’s thoughts are as vast as the sea, and I… dare not speculate rashly.”

“Because I wanted to try my hand at being the mastermind. The taste is a bit strong, but I have to say it’s still pretty exciting.”

“You can go out tomorrow~”

Gojo Jieyue stretched and said, “Tell me, what’s the situation now?”

“The last time I observed, Orochimaru’s residence was extremely quiet. I didn’t dare to observe too closely in case someone noticed me.”

“But it looks like there is no difference from usual. There is no third person at the scene.”

“Is it very quiet…”

Gojo Jieyue seemed to be thinking about something.

Youyou sighed, shook her head and said to herself: “Minato’s heart is not hard enough, nor cruel enough.”

“You are too eager to give the Third Hokage and Orochimaru a decent show. You shouldn’t give their apostles a chance to fight one-on-one.”

“If it were me, I would gather all the Anbu and advertise to ordinary villagers, inviting them to watch the show near Orochimaru’s house.”

Kill Orochimaru——

To be precise, it is the second stage of treating, beheading, and accepting as a dog.

This was the idea that Gojo Kegetsu had made a long time ago when Orochimaru deducted 500 points of prosperity from Konoha. But he was too weak to ensure the smooth execution of the plan, and there was a possibility that Danzo would target him.

Now, Gojo-sama is second only to the emperor in Konoha.

Orochimaru is a dangerous double-edged sword.

Fear power but not virtue.

If used well, he would be a perfect scientific researcher. If used poorly, he would be a detonating tag that could detonate Konoha at any time.

Although from the future performance, Orochimaru does not have hatred towards Konoha, nor does he want to be an enemy of Konoha. He simply wants to develop the power of immortality and show the power that Sarutobi Hiruzen denied him, so as to launch the “Konoha Collapse Plan”.

After all, Gojo Kegetsu still doesn’t understand what the inevitable connection is between showing his research results in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen and destroying Konoha.

You say Orochimaru loves the village, so he could have handed over the experimental results to Konoha after they came out, so that his merits and demerits could be offset and his status as a traitor could be washed away. You say he doesn’t love the village, but when he defected, he just let Kakashi and the ninjas who followed him go without saying anything.

Who can guarantee that the future Orochimaru will not have a seizure when faced with a distorted timeline?

Gojo Kegetsu often regretted that he came to the ninja world a little late. If he had come earlier, it would have been a great thing to fundamentally change Orochimaru’s thinking.

Remove the ninja element of Orochimaru, train him as a ninja scientist since childhood, and then obtain the “official authorization” from Gojo-sama to conduct experiments using the water ghosts obtained from the triangle trade…that should be a happy ending.

Just like Dou who is now studying in an orphanage.

But now, Orochimaru has already turned evil and crooked.

Orochimaru is such a person that he cannot gain the trust of Lord Gojo.

From trusting ninjutsu to believing in ninjutsu, and from believing in ninjutsu to admiring Uchiha Sasuke… Orochimaru’s life experience can be considered tortuous and bizarre.

Gojo Jieyue has always believed in one truth –

[Apart from talking, one cannot change another person through words. Preaching is useless, broken bones are the best textbook]

“Then, break all the bones in Orochimaru’s body!”

If you want to tame such a ninja, you must first shatter his original beliefs and cause his ninja way to collapse.

To this end, Gojo Kegetsu had already planned everything in secret, waiting for one of Minato, Sandai, or Fugaku to capture him. Then it would be Gojo-sama’s turn to perform the “take him in as a dog” segment.

With the existence of Gojo Jieyue, the ninjas in Konoha only need one belief, that is, standing in front of the Hokage Rock and believing in the Will of Fire! Of course, it is the Will of Fire endowed with the characteristics of the Gojo of the new era.

Gojo Kegetsu is a mature adult ninja who is well aware of the principle of “want both”.

He wanted Orochimaru to contribute to the research of the battle future, but he also wanted to ensure the purity of the Will of Fire.

The things that Orochimaru committed cannot be washed away in the new era of Konoha. He is condemned by both humans and gods and can be killed by anyone. At the same time, in order to shape the new era of the will of fire, Gojo Kaizuki needs Orochimaru to “die”.

Let Orochimaru die as a ninja, destroy his ability as a ninja, and be reborn as a ninja scientist.

Being sent to an underground laboratory to conduct ninja research to atone for his sins is the best ending for Orochimaru.

If you don’t cooperate, you will die.

Orochimaru’s priority in the village is no longer that high.

What he can do, Kabuto can do too. What Orochimaru can develop, Kabuto can develop too! This is completely a young Orochimaru. And this is the young Orochimaru who was trained by Gojo Kezuki since he was a child and shouted that he would never repay his advisor’s kindness.

It’s not like there’s no time! It’s just a matter of speed.

Gojo Kegetsu could have waited for a few years until Kabuto grew up and then let him take over Orochimaru’s position in Konoha.

With this, all the hidden dangers of the [Konoha Collapse Plan] have been eliminated.

Look at those major events in Konoha, what is left now?

The mastermind behind the Nine-Tails Night was practicing the Way of the Boy in the basement, and the planner and executor of the genocide night, one was exiled to Kirigakure, and the other was full of gratitude. At this stage, there is only one plan left for the collapse of Konoha.

As for the masterminds of the anti-rice movement…it will take another decade or so for them to show up.

The main risk facing Konoha right now is the threat of ninja wars from Kumogakure and Iwagakure.

If the world line had come to an end, and Sarutobi Hiruzen finally softened his heart and let Orochimaru go, and then another pursuit of Orochimaru was launched…

“Then let’s play a game of cat and mouse.”

Gojo Jieyue is sure to win.

The Susanoo Gundam has been sent to stand on a telephone pole, ready to attack at any time.

There is also Minato, who is temporarily soft-hearted but will still take action when necessary.

If Orochimaru, who was weakened by the Third Hokage, could still escape from the Susanoo Gundam and Yellow Flash, then it can only be said that Orochimaru deserves to be the freest man in the ninja world. Gojo Kegetsu admits it!

“Anyway, you have to be careful when you strike. Let Orochimaru die once, but don’t let him die so completely. Minato, if it were you, you would understand what I mean.”
