Chapter 186 'Five-Year Plan'

  Based on the age of ordinary people, in the first half of his life, Orochimaru was either participating in wars or pursuing eternal life. In his spare time, he also focused on himself and rarely turned his attention to other people.

  Although he also took in disciples and excavated Yao Shidou and others, but this kind of training is hard to call, but it is just wandering around in the wild, and occasionally found some strange flowers and plants and brought them back.

  Cultivating talents is not only about targeting people, but also cultivating the soil that can breed talents.

   This is quite a troublesome matter, and it will not produce results in a short period of time, but Orochimaru has to put this matter on the agenda now.

  Eternal life is a huge subject.

  The Otsutsuki clan may be able to achieve it easily with their talents, but for mortals like myself to pursue eternal life, they have to overcome unimaginable difficulties and obstacles.

The cultivation of celestial arts is only one aspect. Today, with many things and many ideas, Orochimaru finds more and more that he has no skills at all, and how difficult it is to walk this road by himself, unless he chooses to settle for the next best thing, "no The art of reincarnation of the corpse' achieves low-level immortality.

   This is not impossible, but it is obviously too low-quality as the first choice, and it is the last resort.

   Now that the situation in the ninja world is gradually stabilizing, even the ambitious Yunyin Village, after suffering several setbacks, will no longer think about coming out to do things in a short time.

   And after his own soul injury recovers, he will continue to practice fairy arts and sense nature with the help of breathing.

  This requires a lot of time, and it is a bit inappropriate to do experiments day and night. It is just time to turn the free time to the direction of raising leeks.

  The plan for the next stage is to completely replace the roots, and apply the part of the resources that were originally used to satisfy Danzo's selfishness to the topics that I want to study.

  Right now, research on sealing techniques, medical ninjutsu... are gradually on the agenda, and other explorations such as the first generation of cells and the secrets of the human body should also recruit relevant talents.

   Digging the roots at the base, is one of the fastest ways.

   This time, Doujiang half-destroyed the Genbu base and beheaded most of the Genin members. Danzo lost his biggest support. The old man will definitely try to suppress the next rise of Genbu.

   But Danzo wants to turn the tables, it’s nothing more than selling miserably, and launching attacks on the fact that the pocket is his own subordinate.

   Heh... This is exactly what he wanted.

  Oshemaru licked his lips, a gloomy light flashed in his eyes.

  The pocket is now a bomb, which may injure oneself, or may in turn destroy everything in Danzo. The specific effect depends on who uses this weapon better.

  Just as Orochimaru was thinking about how to give Danzo a fatal blow, suddenly, Kakashi, who had changed shifts, got up and jumped to the treetop where he was.

  Oshemaru turned his head to look, Kakashi bowed slightly, and said seriously, "Master Orochimaru, I have some doubts in my heart, I hope you can answer me."

  What doubts need to be asked at this point in time?

  Oshemaru saw the pleading in Kakashi's eyes, and suddenly understood something. He stood up and said slowly,

   "This is not the place to talk, come with me."

   After finishing speaking, he flew directly towards the dark place in the forest, Kakashi glanced back at his companion, and followed suit.

  …

  Falling to a clearing in the forest, Orochimaru turned around, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly,

   "If there is any problem, just tell me. Although I am not your teacher, as Shuo Mao's friend, it doesn't hurt to give some advice to his son."

   Kakashi gave a salute, and then raised his head. Although he was wearing a mask, it could be seen from his eyes that he had been depressed for a long time.

   "For the sake of selfishness, you disregarded the interests of the village. Although you suppressed Yunyin and solved this matter perfectly, in essence, it is the same as what your father did back then. I want to know, is this right or wrong?"

   "Father fell to that result, was he wrong, or did he not persevere to the end?"

   "So it's this problem, it's been so long, so you're still struggling."

  Oshemaru suddenly thought of the figure wandering persistently by the Sanzu River, and suddenly felt a little emotional. It is not only the living who are entangled, some things can't be figured out, and they can't rest in peace after death.

  He patted Kakashi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "If you want to get a definite answer from me, I'm afraid you are looking for the wrong person. This kind of thing can only be discussed as it stands, not generalized."

  Kakashi frowned slightly, he was not satisfied with this answer, it was too broad, and there was a sense of perfunctory between the lines.

   But this is just a request. Could it be that he can press Dashewan's head and force him to solve his own doubts?

   "Thank you, Master Orochimaru, for explaining..."

  Kakashi bowed slightly, but was very disappointed in his heart. When he was thinking of ending this question, Orochimaru continued,

   "Obito Uchiha, do you still remember this name?"

  Kakashi's eyes widened, not knowing why he mentioned this name.

   "It seems that I remember."

  The corner of Orochimaru's mouth curled slightly, "Don't worry, my relationship with Sakumo is not bad, and I don't even bother to fool his son."

  Kakashi was silent for a moment, and asked, "Why did you suddenly mention Obito?"

   What does Obito have to do with the previous topic?

Orochimaru shook his head, did not directly answer the question, but continued, "During the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, Uchiha Obito gave up the mission and chose to save his companion Nohara Rin who was taken away by the enemy first, and then died in the In this operation, yes."

   Kakashi's expression darkened, and he nodded slightly.

   "Obito Uchiha is not a good ninja, but there is no doubt that he is a good companion."

   These words struck Kakashi's mind, but Orochimaru changed the subject and asked again,

   "But here comes the problem. You and Obito also performed many tasks in the third ninja battle. Except for Kannabi Bridge, you should have faced many times. The choice between your companions and the completion of the task..."

   Orochimaru looked at Kakashi, his originally smiling face suddenly darkened,

   "So, at other times, what choices did you make? Are you also a good companion?"

  Kakashi's expression changed upon hearing this.

   "No need to answer, I know very well that I should have made the 'correct' choice, otherwise, none of you would be able to live on the Shenwubi Bridge."

   Orochimaru smiled, "But here comes the question, why are there inconsistencies, why don't you insist on being correct every time?"

   "The answer is also very simple, because it was other people who were going to die before, but this time it was Nohara Lin."

   "A good companion in your mind is nothing more than a double standard."

   "Companions, ninjas in the village, villagers, family members, teachers...these are all different people and have different weights."

   "For the sake of important people, it is only natural to give up some unimportant things."

  Kakashi's eyes kept changing, and after a while, he sighed.
