Chapter 235 Orochimaru

When Orochimaru saw snake skin for the first time as a child, Midai told him that snakes symbolized immortality and luck, and these two words also summed up Orochimaru's life.

It is estimated that there are very few villains who are as full of evil as Orochimaru, who have done all kinds of bad things to achieve their own ambitions. In the end, they not only get away with impunity, but even achieve their wish for eternal life.

As the villain and the big boss in the early stage, many people had high expectations for Orochimaru. However, when he was killed in seconds by the Itachi brothers, readers suddenly had the illusion that Orochimaru had dropped in price and became a combat unit.A friend of mine once said to me that Orochimaru's whitewashing was too sudden, why suddenly became the protagonist's side.I said Orochimaru didn't wash his hands, he just adjusted his mentality after seeing his limits.

Orochimaru is undoubtedly a bad guy. He conducts human experiments, abducts and sells children, kills masters, and plans wars. None of them are clean.But he is not a simple bad guy, because everything he does is to achieve his own ambitions. In addition, Orochimaru has never pursued the pleasure of killing itself.This is also a habit of Kishimoto. The whole Hokage has almost never created a pure villain, unlike Akira Toriyama who specially portrayed old Piccolo and Frieza as "I just like to kill" villains.

For Orochimaru, all the bad things he does are a means, not an end.The difference between him and the positive characters is that he has no concept of good and evil, morality, and ethics. To him, things that seem heinous to ordinary people are no different from eating and drinking.His master Sandai Hokage had noticed this for a long time, saying that as early as the moment Dashemaru's parents passed away, the fear of death had left a deep imprint on Dashemaru's heart, and his psychology became distorted because of this.

In addition to the distorted psychology, another factor that caused Orochimaru to go astray was his powerful talent and matching ambition.Orochimaru is a rare genius in the entire ninja world.People like this who have the ability to stand on a high ground and look down on all living beings will either pursue supreme power, or pursue a stronger self. Orochimaru chose the latter.During the Sannin War, when asked about the understanding of the word ninja, Jiraiya answered that he was someone who ninjas could not bear, while Orochimaru answered rudely that he was someone who had learned all ninjutsu.

That's right, this is the lifelong ideal of Orochimaru.He is a perfectionist, so he cannot tolerate the existence of death.This kind of mentality is not difficult to understand. Almost everyone has more or less a pursuit of perfection. I hope that I can learn everything and be able to point everything. Just look at how many cross-border answerers on Zhihu will understand.However, Orochimaru's pursuit is too high, he hopes to achieve the ultimate in everything, but for this goal, human life is too short.

Zhuangzi once said, my life has a limit, but my knowledge has no limit.If there is a limit, follow the limitless, it is almost over!Some people say that Zhuangzi is persuading people not to seek knowledge, but I think that Zhuangzi is not a superficial person. He just faces the vast knowledge and feels a little frustrated by the short life.A person can only achieve the ultimate in one aspect of academic research. Once cross-border, although he may be strong in many aspects, it is bound to fail to achieve the ultimate in many aspects.For Orochimaru, who is prone to perfectionism, the fact that he can only do so much in his life is intolerable, which increases his desire for eternal life.

However, in the process of pursuing perfection, Orochimaru discovered a cruel fact: he is not perfect.Yes, Orochimaru is a rare genius in the ninja world, but as Sasuke said, Orochimaru is only a genius among mortals, and the Uchiha family is a genius among geniuses.

The existence of Itachi made Orochimaru feel the distance. If he wants to achieve the goal of becoming a perfect individual, his talents and body are too limited, so he began to attack the Uchiha brothers.

After paying a considerable price, Orochimaru obtained the body of Sasuke, which could not be fulfilled immediately, so he temporarily cultivated this perfect container for his future before the ceremony.Teaching Sasuke brought great pleasure to Orochimaru. Anyone who has experience as a teacher can understand how painful it is to educate students with low talents. You have to learn things that are easy to learn over and over again. Teach the other party, he still can't understand, it makes people want to cry without tears.On the contrary, students with high educational talents are very happy. Not only is the educational process easy, but also the collision of the same level of thinking can occur, and self-improvement is also achieved during education.Therefore, the third generation of ninjutsu professors fell in love with this student after teaching Orochimaru. Even if he went astray, he couldn't bear to kill him. For the first time since I felt the joy of education, I taught everything without knowing it.

Of course, to Orochimaru's surprise, Sasuke was too talented and surpassed himself at an unimaginable speed. This was the first blow that Orochimaru received.After Orochimaru was resurrected, he saw Yao Shidou using the information he had collected for many years to shake the ninja world to stand on the cusp of the ninja world war, and learned the fairy art and various secret techniques of his subordinates, but he was perfect. His strength was defeated by Itachi's men, which was the second blow that Orochimaru received.But Itachi, with his weak body and short life, has seen through life and death, surpassed the disputes in the world, and reached a height that he will never be able to reach. This is the third blow that Orochimaru has received.With the blessing of the triple blow, Orochimaru's outlook on life has been impacted.

After the wish is fulfilled, people often feel emptiness and confusion, thinking "Is this the end?"Orochimaru's years of hard work have been realized by relying on pockets. Seeing that his painstaking goal has only achieved such a result, Orochimaru finally sees his limit clearly.

Orochimaru is a person with pursuit, and he also has the desire to change the ninja world. The attack on Konoha is for this purpose.In his eyes, the rotten and huge Konoha is an existence that hinders the progress of the ninja world.He wants to be a gust of wind, blowing down this decayed building and bringing about changes in the ninja world.After seeing his limit, Orochimaru found that he could not become such a wind, so he chose Sasuke, who had a higher talent and inherited the abilities of himself and Itachi, to become this wind.Therefore, Orochimaru during the Ninja World War was not interested in everything about this war. He just wanted to improve Sasuke's ability and see how far Sasuke's gust of wind could blow.

This is almost the mentality that most people will have. When they are young, their hearts are higher than the sky, and they want to achieve everything by themselves.After seeing his limits clearly and realizing that he did not have this ability, he chose to pin his hopes on the next generation.It should be said that Orochimaru is an excellent parent. He didn't impose his wishes on the heirs (of course he didn't have the ability). He just devoted himself to helping the next generation go further.

This transformation of Orochimaru is very reasonable, it is not abrupt and it is not a whitewash, he is still the same Orochimaru who pursues perfectionism from beginning to end.

Throughout the story, some people believe in blood, some believe in spirit, some believe in body, some believe in eyes, some believe in innate inheritance, and some believe in hard work.Only Orochimaru, he believes in science.

Orochimaru wasn't really broken in the first place.He's just an ambitious man who sees through everything.

Except for Otsutsuki or Jue, there is no real "bad guy" from beginning to end.For example, Payne, Obito, Madara, Akatsuki, Five Great Ninja Villages, etc., are all sticking to their beliefs. It is all kinds of beliefs that enrich the world of Hokage, just like a main line that connects the growth process of several protagonists .Although many of these beliefs were born after each of them encountered extreme circumstances, even a little unbelievable, but there is no real evil: for example, Scorpio finally made himself a puppet, Didara died for art, and Madara firmly believed that he could also To bring world peace, Itachi can sacrifice everything to watch Sasuke grow up.It is precisely because of the wonderful entanglements of the characters that, except for a few cannon fodder characters such as Otsutsuki and Jue, basically all ninjas have their own ninja fans. I think there are really many fans of Uncle Snake.What I am more entangled in is Orochimaru's Eight-Different Technique. The Orochimaru left in Sasuke's body was permanently sealed in the state of intoxication by Itachi's Ten Fist Sword, and the escaped white snake was also burned to death by Amaterasu. Later, Orochimaru was killed by Sasuke "Resurrection" from the body of the red bean with the seal of eliminating evil, and the hands of the seal of the god of death are also there. I don't fully understand how to achieve immortality.
1. Orochimaru knows when to show up and give a helping hand, which can maximize the opponent's loyalty.

Whether it was the early Sak, Otonin four, Kimomaro, or the later Chonggo Xianglin Shuiyue, the later stage of the medicine master, and even the second male Sasuke, before they met Orochimaru, they were all drawn The cruel reality forced people who would rather die than live.

In Sak's memory, he lived in no fixed place, hungry and full, and could only live by stealing, and he was beaten severely every time.

Orochimaru happened to find him at this time.

Although the experience of the Otonin four was not described in detail, it can be seen from their few words that they did not have a good life before they met Orochimaru.

And Xianglin and Yaoshidou were even more tragic. One was "sucked blood" countless times, and his mother was sucked to death in front of his eyes, and the other was fooled by high-level officials to kill his own savior.

Why would Sasuke abandon his companions and leave the village alone?Because Orochimaru has already made the four of Otonin understand clearly:
That's right, you can live a so-called happy life in the village by licking your wounds and playing boring ninja games with your friends, and then what?

When Naruto Sakura becomes a teacher, you will become the "Uchiha Naka Yong" in the village population, living with humiliation all your life.

Is this what Sasuke wants?Even if Itachi died of illness soon, would he be happy?

You can naturally accuse Dashewan of taking advantage of others' danger and being vicious, but there is another problem,

What would happen to them if there was no Orochimaru to take them in?
Obviously, with the cruelty of the ninja world, their ending will only be more tragic.

Just like the reporter who reported the children to be punched, the report was issued, the order was issued, the reporter was happy, and felt that he had done a great deed, but in the end, the fate of these children was ruined.

2. Orochimaru never draws big pancakes and stewed chicken soup, and the prices are clearly marked.

When the four of Otonin went to Sasuke, they also said very clearly that they were rescued by Orochimaru and received the gift of the curse seal, and the price was the loss of freedom.

Sasuke also said bluntly later that in order to avenge Itachi, he had already made up his mind to sacrifice his life to Orochimaru.

Chicken soup can be poisoned, painted cakes can be wiped off, and promises can be broken, but it is difficult to interfere with clear transactions.

3. Orochimaru ignores the so-called traditions and rules, and is a practical person.

In the eyes of Orochimaru, the so-called "ninja rules", "will of fire" and "mutual understanding" can all be boiled down to one sentence - pure tm nonsense.

In his view, these are all things used to bind people, and only eternal life and omniscience are the kingly ways.

Therefore, he ignored traditional morality and conducted human experiments wantonly.

Therefore, he despised the ninja rules, defected from the village, and immediately set up his own family.

Therefore, he ignored the relationship between master and apprentice, and provoked Sa Yin to attack Konoha together.

Pragmatic people are quite scary. In his view, everything can be used, and there is no morality.

But this kind of person is the most "smooth", because he doesn't need any ethics to imprison him, and he doesn't need to bear any psychological burden, so he won't be like Sakumo Hatake, let alone Itachi.

This kind of person cannot simply distinguish between good and bad.

He just has superhuman beliefs and inhuman persistence.What he decides to do must be done, and what he does is in his own lofty pursuit. As for good or bad, it is for others and has nothing to do with him.If you praise him as a good person, he will not stop doing so-called bad things, and if you call him vicious, it is not comprehensive.

He doesn't care anyway, does he?

Just like Grenouille in "Perfume", not for "good or bad", but for what you love.

If there is another way to preserve the fragrance of women, he will also use it to make the legendary "No.13 Zhongxiang", which will make everyone happy and become a so-called good thing again.

Orochimaru did it for Konoha before he ran away
D-class missions 16 times

C-level missions 332 times

B-level missions 521 times

A-level tasks 491 times

108 S-class missions

Fourth Hokage's S-level tasks are not as good as his one-third, A-level tasks are only two-thirds of his, B-level and C-level tasks are less than half

It is hard to understand that he was not selected as Hokage back then, and he has fought in the country of rain, rain ninja, and sand ninja. There are many diehards, even if he has been away for many years, there are spies in Konoha, and even Mizuki wants to join him when he is away.
Basically, Konoha's Jonin at this stage is either a witness who watched him and Jiraiya Tsunade's legendary rise at the same time, or he is a new generation who grew up listening to his stories. It is simply impossible not to know him. possible things
I read all the literature on the subject. --Orochimaru
