"Long time no see, Orochimaru."

"Long time no see, Scorpion."

Uwah, not only old acquaintances, but also seems to have a special relationship.

Later, from Takasugi Shinsuke, Naruto learned that Scorpion and Orochimaru did have a past... To be precise, Orochimaru and Scorpion were originally partners, Sora and Okono, it sounds like they are more than one...Okay Off topic.

Both of them have a similar understanding of "eternity". Orochimaru pursues eternal life, while Scorpion is also pursuing another kind of eternal life, so there are quite a few common languages.

But then... Orochimaru fell in love with Itachi Uchiha.

"I fell in love with Itachi Uchiha." These are the original words of Shinsuke Takasugi.

Then after the night attack failed, maybe he had no face to face Jiangdong's elders, so he simply defected directly to Xiao's organization.

Naruto's mouth twitched when he heard that, "I believe the truth is somewhat different from what you said."

"Yes," said Takasugi Shinsuke, "to be precise, he fell in love with a part of Uchiha Itachi's body."

Naruto: "...Wait, isn't this more terrifying?"

Naruto was speechless for a long while, thinking about how to explain this to Sasuke, for example, your brother was taken by one of Konoha Sannin, or your enemy was targeted by a pervert... His thinking was wrong. After a while, I realized, "...So it should be Sharingan, right? The so-called part of his body."

"Otherwise?" Takasugi Shinsuke asked.

"No, I didn't think about anything." Naruto immediately rejected it.

What Naruto didn't know later, after he finished his studies from Shinsuke Takasugi, Obito was worried about Naruto's upside down, so he went to ask Shinsuke Takasugi about Naruto's recent situation. Shinsuke Takasugi smiled and said straightforwardly : "Basic."

"...What?" Obito turned pale with shock.

"Why are you surprised?" Shinsuke Takasugi raised his eyebrows and asked, "It's as if you're not gay."

So Obito changed the subject with a guilty conscience, "How do you know he's gay? Did he say who he particularly likes?"

"Because the heart is basic, everything is basic." Takasugi Shinsuke said.

Obito: ? ? ?

Uchiha Itachi & Orochimaru & Red Sand Scorpion: "Ah-"

——These are all later, let’s not mention them for now.

And here Scorpion and Orochimaru met in the Death Forest. After greeting each other, Orochimaru said first, "It's been a long time, are you here to stop me?"

"I don't have such a boring plan, I'm not interested in the dispute between you and Konoha," Scorpion said.

"Oh?" Orochimaru said with a low smile.

"As Naruto said, I'm just taking you back this time." Scorpion continued.

"I saw that fellow [Sentient Beings] also came," Orochimaru said, "Sure enough, he suggested that you find me."

"You know him well," Scorpion said.

"After all [sentient beings] can recognize my value in the organization," Orochimaru said, "and he's objectively the most visionary of you."

"Objectively speaking, is he your only chance of survival?" Scorpion retorted.

"Don't be too arrogant, Scorpion." Orochimaru said, "I don't need anyone to give me the so-called life. After all, Takasugi Shinsuke is the only person so far... who almost killed me."

"Since you know this, then you know that you have no way out." Scorpion ignored Orochimaru's sudden pretense and said this.

Orochimaru was silent for a few seconds, then said, "At least let me finish what I want to do."

"It depends on him." Xie glanced at Naruto and said.

"Nine-tailed ghost?" Orochimaru looked at Naruto.

"Nani Nani?" Naruto asked without responding for a while.

"I don't care about Konoha, but his old love for Konoha is over..." Scorpion raised his chin at Naruto and said.

"What you're saying is that I look like a scumbag." Naruto felt a little guilty.

"Aren't you?" Scorpion asked.

Naruto immediately shut his mouth.

After seeing Dashewan, Senior Xie's poisonous tongue seems to have increased.

So he really cared about being betrayed by Orochimaru... Later Naruto couldn't help but think so.

"I understand." Orochimaru said, "You and [all living beings] will not stop my action this time, but this brat may not necessarily... Then do I need to go back to the organization with you after I complete this action?"

Scorpion nodded, "Exactly."

"It's really not in line with Payne's magnanimity." Orochimaru said, and then her whole body suddenly melted into a puddle of mud, sank into the ground and disappeared.

Naruto froze for a moment, and asked, "Is that how you let her go?"

"It's 'he', not 'she'. [All beings] and [Suzaku] are not here, if he wants to leave, no one in the organization can keep him," Xie said.

"That's right." Naruto nodded.

He finally understands that Orochimaru may be slightly inferior to other members of the Akatsuki organization in frontal combat ability, but his escape ability is definitely first-rate.At present, apart from Boss Payne, only Uchiha Itachi and Takasugi Shinsuke can stop him.

However, the lack of frontal combat ability is also relative to other members of the organization. For Kami Naruto and the others... they are more than a few blocks away.

When Naruto and Scorpion returned to the previous site, Bai had already cleared out the place where he lived tonight, and he also caught a few fish, looked at Naruto expectantly, and said, "Eat grilled fish tonight. Bar."

"We're here to do a mission, not to go camping." Naruto was a little dumbfounded.

"Be comfortable at all times, isn't that Naruto's creed in your life?" Bai asked.

"Do you have to be comfortable ♂comfortable♀ at all times?" Naruto repeated, "I don't have such a wretched life creed."

"It's terrible." Bai said, "I'm talking about that kind of comfort, but not this kind of comfort. Naruto, you are so dirty."

"... I remembered it by accident, what you said was so misleading." Naruto shook his head and said.

Bai also shook his head, "Then what is your life creed?"

"People need to use various postures to break through the shackles of fate. If this posture does not work, change to another posture." Naruto said.

Then he was attacked by Fei Liuhu's tail and Bai's ice pick at the same time.

"I was wrong, wrong! Oh, wrong, wrong!"

I'm sorry he won't do it again next time_(:3∠)_

Naruto then caught two more fish, for a total of six.After cleaning two of the fish, he stuffed the fish belly with herbs to remove the fishy smell, and then covered the surface with a rather fishy and spicy seasoning, and then set it aside to let it marinate slowly. I plan to eat it tomorrow morning-of course, white ice is indispensable as a fresh-keeping and cooling material.

"Although it is not as fresh as eating it directly, it has a different taste." Naruto explained.

The other four fish were grilled directly, covered with a kind of oily leaves and directly passed over a low fire. Naruto also changed the leaves twice in the middle, which made the fish delicate and delicious, and the fragrance was overflowing after one bite. There is no fishy smell, and there is no excessive stimulation.The outside is burnt yellow, but the inside is white and tender. After eating it, I really feel that I have been deeply healed.

At night, with bonfires and grilled fish, the shadows of the three people kept shaking because of the jumping firelight.

The night gradually deepened.

The night sky is full of bright stars, and you can directly see this prosperous and beautiful scene while lying on the tree.The starry sky spread out in front of your eyes like a dream, with the distant memories of childhood deeply engraved in your eyes and mind.

Naruto couldn't help but said, "Senior Scorpion, are you asleep?"

"No." Scorpion's voice was still turbulent.

"Did you have any wishes when you were a child?" Naruto asked.

Scorpion didn't speak.

Naruto said, "Oh...you know my childhood wish, right?"

"Become Hokage?" Scorpion said.

"Yeah... But, it's actually not easy to say." Naruto said, "Although I have been calling for Hokage, be Hokage, but in fact... Sigh."

"In fact, people know what they want to do from a very young age, but this is also one of the reasons why people quickly give up their dreams." Red Sand Scorpion said.

"Hey...it makes sense," Naruto said.

"That's what Payne said." Scorpion said.

"I see." Naruto nodded, "It feels like the style of the boss."

"What about you? Naruto." Scorpion asked.

"I, when I was young, I wanted to let people recognize me. I wanted to play with them." Naruto said.

"So, to be Hokage..."

"It may be an extension of that idea, but it's more of an overly abstract goal, similar to, I will definitely live, I will definitely become Hokage, this goal can keep me going." Naruto said.

"But in fact, what the goal itself is is irrelevant." Scorpion continued Naruto's words, "You don't care about Hokage at all, it's just that you want to do it."

Naruto froze for a moment, "Oh, don't be like this, Senior Xie, what you said is too scary."

Scorpion didn't speak.

"What about you, Senior Scorpion?" Naruto said, "I have already expressed my thoughts, let's exchange secrets."

"When I was very young, my wish was to be with my parents," Xie said.

"Hey, have Senior Xie's parents died long ago?" Naruto asked.

Scorpion glanced at Naruto, and said unhurriedly, "What you said is really ugly."

"Cough cough cough..." Naruto said, "After all, both parents died these days, so I just said that."

"That's true." Scorpion nodded, "My parents were killed by Konoha Baiya during the war."

"Konoha Baiya, isn't it just..."

"Your Kakashi-sensei's father." Scorpion said.

"Ah." This was a bit embarrassing.

"There's no need to avoid it, this world is already small." Scorpion said.

"What about now?" Naruto changed the subject, "This wish..."

"The first pair of puppets I made were named 'Father' and 'Mother'." Scorpion said.

Naruto let out an "ah", and then said, "Is this the realization of Senior Scorpion's 'eternity'?"

"Probably." Scorpion said, "Okay, it's time for you to rest, and you have to get up early tomorrow."

"Oh yes." Naruto said, he closed his eyes on the tree, and after a few seconds, he said, "You have us now, Senior Scorpion."

"what?"

"Ah, I mean, you're not alone, you still have us," Naruto said.

"Stupid words." Xie said, "Go to sleep."

It does seem kind of silly to say that.

Naruto thought so.

But I still want to say it.

Don't care if you can't hold it anymore, don't care about him, he will speak out!

Hehehehe, although I was scolded for being stupid, I was still very happy.

02.

Before dawn the next day, they were attacked by Konoha Anbe.

This time the opponent's strength was significantly higher than before, and Naruto was directly pierced through the body when he met him.

It is an ordinary piercing, not the kind of piercing you think.

Scorpion made a "tsk" sound and said "Don't get in the way, brat", then unfolded the scroll to release four puppets, and then began to drive the puppets to kill.

The puppet master's battle looks really scary.

But as a companion, he is extremely handsome.

Naruto next to him couldn't help but started clapping, yes, this is the legendary applause for love, bang bang bang.

Scorpion didn't take back the puppet immediately after finishing off all the enemies, but turned his back to Naruto and said, "How about the injury?"

"It didn't hit the vital point, but the action of clapping just now was too violent and the wound was torn." Naruto replied.

"..." Xie was silent for a few seconds, resisting the urge to strangle Naruto to death.It's not easy.

Naruto slipped away when he saw that the situation was not good, "Need some treatment... that Bai, you can freeze the wound for me."

"Okay, Naruto-kun." Bai nodded, and then walked over to help Naruto cool (...) the wound.

At this moment, the sound of leaves being stepped on behind him sounded, Naruto suddenly turned his head, and at the same time he clenched the kunai in his hands, and he had already assumed the posture of preparing for the battle.

However, the one who appeared in sight was clearly Sasuke himself.

In addition to Sasuke, there is Sakura and another ninja that I don't know.

Is this a chance encounter... Obviously not.

"What are you doing here?" Naruto asked directly.

These words are a bit cruel... Now in this scene, Naruto went out to fight with Hitomi, Sasuke came to find him through most of the forest, without even saying a word, Naruto said: "Why are you here. "

"They've been watching for a long time." Scorpion put away the puppet and said, "I wanted to kill it, but after all, it's a member of the Uchiha clan, so it might be useful to keep it."

Sasuke didn't speak, but Sai, who was next to Sasuke, stepped forward excitedly and said, "I can finally talk to you, Naruto, I have been following you for a long time, my name is Sai, and I am the new member of Class [-] replacing you."

Yo, this is so full of energy, smiling brightly.

Saying that, Sai held out his hand to Naruto.

Then... Sai was nailed to the wall through his shoulder by Fei Liuhu's tail.

"Sai!" Sakura exclaimed.

Naruto frowned slightly. When Sai was attacked by Feiliuhu just now, he saw that there was a thousand copies in the hand that Sai was stretching towards him... It turned out that he wanted to sneak attack. If it weren't for the scorpion, Naruto might not have We found Sai's uneasiness and kindness.

But Naruto didn't want to explain too much, what the hell, he didn't expect others to understand, and if Sasuke didn't even give him this trust, he wouldn't be interested in becoming a companion side by side with Sasuke. up.

...Hey, it's quite touching when you think about it carefully.

Naruto touched his chin yy for a few seconds before he struggled out of the messy thoughts. He didn't look at Sasuke, but looked at Sakura, and gave her a slight smile. He smiled and said, "Sakura, long time no see."

"Okay, long time no see..." Sakura's voice trembled a little, "You, can you let Sai go?"

Oh...although she was scared, she still bravely said the words to defend her companions.It's really Sakura's style.

"He said he was the one to replace me, do you think he can replace me?" Naruto said, looking deeply at Sakura.

"He, he was just following the orders of his superiors." Sakura said, "That's why I came to the seventh class...Because you left, we can't always be two people."

"I don't care what he thinks, I'm just asking what you think." Naruto said, "I want to hear what you think...you know, I used to like you."

"I..." Sakura was speechless.

"Wow." Scorpion said, "Naruto's favorite girl... big news."

"Go back and tell everyone." Bai said.

Scorpion continued, "If you like this girl, you can kill her and make me a puppet," he said meaningfully, "It's guaranteed to be very useful."

...So what the hell is it that is so easy to use? This is too scary.

Sure enough, Sakura was already shaking like a sieve.

"Good idea." Naruto said, touching his chin.

"Naruto, you..." Sakura's voice was already crying.

"Okay, Naruto." Sasuke said, who had been silent all this time, "Stop teasing Sakura."

"Okay." Naruto shrugged, "I'm sorry~"

"Hey..." Xiao Ying froze for a moment, "Are you lying to me?"

"Just saying it casually, I want to scare you." Naruto walked towards Sasuke, then stretched out his hand to Sasuke, and hooked the corner of his mouth, "Even if it's a puppet, it should be Sasuke."

Sasuke opened Naruto's hand directly, "Boring."

Naruto blew on his fingers, and half-truthfully said, "Sasuke is really ruthless."

Sasuke ignored Naruto, his eyes paused on the surrounding corpses, and asked, "Is it Konoha Anbe?"

"Probably mostly people from [root]," Naruto said.

"Ah, I finally understand." Said, who was nailed to the tree, "It turns out that you, Sasuke, betrayed Konoha."

"What?" Sakura was stunned.

Sasuke didn't deny it, but he didn't say anything positive either.

"I'm a little surprised," Sai said, "You are the last Uchiha, Uchiha is Konoha's Uchiha, one of the two major families that built the village, you mean that Konoha may remove Uchiha .”

"What nonsense are you talking about, are those people in Konoha qualified to represent Konoha?" Naruto said disdainfully, "Removing Uchiha? They are not worthy."

Sasuke said slowly, "The glory of Uchiha cannot be tarnished by anyone. If they really do that...then they will kill themselves."

Sai's gaze changed, "Then I'd better keep my mouth shut, I'll be killed if I keep talking."

"Do you think you won't be killed now?" Naruto asked.

"This kid belongs to [root]." Scorpion over there said suddenly.

"What?" Sai said, "I didn't, I didn't."

"The aura on his body is the same as that of those people." The Scarlet Sand Scorpion continued to say calmly.

"...Do you still have this?" Sai was taken aback.

The Red Sand Scorpion glanced at Sai, and said slowly, "Take it."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Several people coughed together this time.

Naruto was choked, "Senior Scorpion, you have changed..."

"Yes." Bai next to him said, "It's become very nasty."

"Hey, hey, what does 'very Naruto' mean!" Naruto protested directly.

"It's a curse word." Scorpion said.

Naruto:"……"

Naruto: "...Hmm!"

Sakura was still at a loss, while Sasuke quietly watched Naruto and Shiro talking and joking with the person called "Scorpion Senior"... What's it like?Sasuke asked himself silently.

And Xie looked at Sai again, and said, "Then how about torture to extract a confession?"

"I recruit!" Sai said immediately.

……What?

"People from [Root] informed me to come and kill Naruto," Sai said.

"So you didn't deduce it from the map at all." Sasuke asked with a frown.

"Well, someone has been sending me news." Sai said, "I am also very interested in Naruto. I want to see what kind of person he is, and then decide whether to kill him."

"Your words are not credible at all. Since you were born in the root, is your loyalty so pitiful?" Bai shook his head and said.

"How should I put it... When I was imitating Naruto, I was painting..." Sai said.

"What?" Naruto asked.

"He drew on Hokage Rock." Sasuke explained blankly.

"That's art." Sai emphasized, "Well...it's just painting characters, flowers, birds and landscapes and then being captured alive because of being too fascinated."

"So you felt the new world momentarily when you drew something on Hokage and you were ready to betray Root?" Naruto concluded.

Sai nodded seriously.

"Senior Scorpion." Naruto said painfully, "I think this guy has zero credibility. It's like a nonsense reason."

...is really a ridiculous reason.

So why believe it.

Xie readily poisoned Sai. His ability to control people has always been excellent. With this skill, he has already buried concealed devices in many ninja villages, and Sai, as it should be, became his hidden stake in Konoha.

Sakura didn't understand what happened, Sasuke vaguely guessed it, but didn't say it.

"It's as if he came here specially to deliver someone's head." Naruto shook his head and said.

But this is not to blame for Sai, although he has experienced many battles in the root, he is still relatively young, and he did not expect Xie to have such a method.

As for Sasuke...

"Actually, you shouldn't have involved Sakura." Naruto said, "She has always liked you, and it's not like you don't know it."

Sasuke was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Just now you said you like Sakura..."

"Huh?" Naruto froze for a moment, "Is this what you focus on after so many things happened to me? I don't like her now, okay, so I quit... I wish you happiness?"

Bai shook his head pityingly.

Scorpion laughed bluntly.

Sasuke looked at Naruto in shock.

"Ah? What's wrong with you guys?" Naruto said in a daze, "I really don't like Sakura anymore, don't be so weird."

"...I'm probably shocked by your stupidity." Sasuke said pitifully, "Just now I thought you had become a lot deeper, this is really an illusion."

"Wait!" Naruto said, "What happened! I feel like I'm missing something!"

"...It's really stupid of me to be confused by this kind of thing." Sasuke shook his head, "Okay, I'll go first."

"Why did you just leave, why don't you stay for a while?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke glanced at Naruto and said, "I don't want to see you for now."

"Ah...?" Naruto turned around blankly, "What's going on? Bai."

"I probably can't stand your stupidity," Bai said.

"Treasure." Scorpion also said sympathetically.

Naruto:? ? ?
