[Naruto] Once in ten years (Orochimaru)

ninety three,

The reception banquet for the Daimyo of the Pastoral Country was held in the small banquet hall on the first floor of the Hokage's office. The area was small, with only one table that could accommodate 30 people.

When Chino Yu arrived, it was still half an hour before the banquet started. He pulled Kakashi and walked around upstairs to find the Hokage.

When he reached the door, he knocked first and entered the Hokage's office after receiving permission: "Tsunade-sama, are you okay now?"

Tsunade stood in front of the window, looked back at the two people, and finally cast her eyes on Chino Yu:

"Are you going to talk about your sister?"

Chino Yu nodded hurriedly: "I wonder if Tsunade-sama would allow me to directly ask Orochimaru about my sister at the reception banquet later."

Tsunade put down the piglet in her hand and considered it for a moment: "If you can promise that you can completely control yourself when you get the answer, you can."

She sat back in her seat and crossed her hands in front of her eyes: "Always remember that although the reception banquet is to welcome the daimyo, the most important thing is to find out the purpose of Orochimaru's visit. You must pay attention to the direction of your words during the banquet, and do not reach the goal. The purpose is to irritate him."

As he spoke, Chino Yu looked at Kakashi, feeling reassured. Even if he couldn't control himself, Kakashi could control himself for him. Thinking of this, he immediately responded:

"Yes, Tsunade-sama."

As the time approached, participants from Konoha began to arrive one after another. With two minutes left on the clock, Daimyo Yamashita Matsu arrived with two waiters and twelve guards and sat in the middle of the table.

Strangely, the two chairs adjacent to the daimyo were empty. Everyone in the pastoral country deliberately avoided these two seats and sat at the next seat further back.

At this time, except for these two places, everyone had already sat down. Even the Hokage had arrived on time and sat next to the Daimyo, the top leader of Konoha.

Seeing this, everyone in Konoha frowned unconsciously. They all knew who this seat was reserved for. The only one who hadn't appeared until now was their target, Orochimaru.

The position where Chino Yu sits is not very forward, but in the middle. From his angle, he can have a good view of the two empty seats diagonally opposite.

At this moment, he didn't frown along with everyone. He was mentally sorting out what he wanted to ask Orochimaru for a while. His eyes inadvertently glanced at these two seats again. He couldn't help but subconsciously start to think about why there were only two empty seats for Orochimaru. ...and bring a guard...?

"Sorry for being late."

A quiet and magnetic voice suddenly appeared outside the door.

Everyone turned their attention to the source of the sound almost at the same time.

Orochimaru wore a more formal black suit and walked into the hall leisurely. He pulled a girl, and they walked to the reserved seats and sat down together slowly.

The silence lasted for a long time, and no one present made a sound in response.

Until, the sound of chopsticks hitting the ground broke the silence.

Everyone followed the sound and saw that the man who had dropped his chopsticks was staring blankly in the direction of Orochimaru.

The Oto Ninja side did not know who this person was, but everyone in Konoha knew that this person was the elite jounin who had been collecting information on Orochimaru for many years in search of his sister, and was a contemporaneity of Kakashi Hatake's.

Chino Yu.

Everyone in Konoha was not surprised to see Chino Yu's extreme reaction, and even understood it deeply.

After looking for Orochimaru's information for so many years, this reaction when he suddenly saw the real person was completely normal. He probably couldn't help but ask about his sister soon.

Qianye Yu's eyes were wide open at this time, and his breathing was rapid. He stared in that direction in disbelief and said in shock:

"Xiao...Xiaohan?!"

Chino Yu's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations. They looked at him suspiciously, and then followed his gaze to look next to Orochimaru...

Sitting next to Orochimaru, Qianye Han was also quite excited to see her brother, but she still controlled her volume and tone: "Brother, I'm back. I'm fine. I also told my family not to worry."

Qianye Yu's eyes suddenly turned red: "That's great...that's great..." He rubbed his eyes: "Xiaohan, it's too dangerous there, come to my brother quickly." He stood up and walked over, He was grabbed by Kakashi next to him.

Qian Yehan secretly glanced at Orochimaru, and quickly waved his hand to stop his brother: "I won't change my seat. I will go find you when I have time. Don't worry, brother, I'm fine."

At the same time, Lord Hokage gave Chino Yu a sharp look, forcing the latter to calm down and slowly sit back in his seat, but his eyes remained glued to Chino Han.

Lord Hokage immediately announced the start of the reception banquet.

As the dishes were served one after another, Konoha followed the principle of being a host and took the lead to stand up and toast, once again welcoming the daimyo. During the exchange of toasts, the atmosphere seemed to be quite harmonious.

But the real purpose cannot be forgotten.

Taking advantage of Qian Yehan's excuse, Tsunade raised the cup and touched it with Orochimaru:

"I promised Youjun earlier that I would come to you to ask about his sister when I have the opportunity." She took a sip of wine, held the glass and said, "It's not convenient for you to tell me."

Seeing that Lord Hokage finally came to Orochimaru, everyone wanted to listen, and the voices of their conversations were much lower. Of course, the one who paid the most attention to this matter was Yuu. After hearing this conversation, he thanked Lord Tsunade countless times in his heart. .

Orochimaru put down his wine glass, smiled and took Qian Yehan, who was engrossed in eating steamed pumpkin, and said, "Tsunade, if you want, you can make up for my share of the money."

"Huh?" Lord Hokage was stunned for a moment. This old classmate of hers has devoted herself to research and experiments for so many years. How can she suddenly blossom after so many years of inactivity?

"seriously?"

"Of course." Orochimaru gently clinked the glasses with Tsunade and took a sip.

Everyone in Konoha was eating melons and watching the fun, but there was no big reaction. Only my brother Qianye Yu stood up immediately after hearing this: "Are you kidding me? We don't agree! Not only did you experiment on our Xiaohan, you also forced her to Right?"

...As expected of her brother, he guessed it almost exactly.

However, in order to prevent her family from continuing to worry, she could not tell all the truth. She had to convince them that she was with Orochimaru voluntarily.

But the most important thing now is to appease my brother.

"Brother, let's go back and talk." She waved to Chino Yu to sit down quickly, fearing that he would anger Orochimaru and leave. She hadn't returned home yet and saw other people.

When Chino Yu sat down reluctantly, she secretly tugged on Orochimaru's sleeve and whispered: "How about I take my brother away first? I don't have anything to do here anyway." And she still made you unhappy.

She didn't dare to say the last sentence.

Orochimaru leaned over slightly, held her hand under the table, then pulled it up and placed their intertwined hands on the table for everyone to see.

Then, he slowly approached her ear and said, "Let's go together after dinner is over." He did not deliberately lower his voice.

As soon as she finished speaking, Qian Yehan felt everyone's gazes on her, which made her unbearable for a moment.

"Okay, let's get down to business." She squeezed Orochimaru's hand tightly, quickly pulled it off the table, then quickly shook it off, hugging the pumpkin and continued eating, as if nothing happened.

Orochimaru knew that Qian Yehan was embarrassed, so he didn't continue the rest of the action. He gave her a few dishes she liked and looked away with a smile.

Tsunade held her chin, watching all this with great interest, a faint smile appeared on her lips. Seeing Orochimaru's eyes move back here, she directly asked them what they wanted to know most this time:

"Orochimaru, what is your purpose in coming to Konoha this time?"

She knew her old teammate liked to speak straight to the point.

Hearing this, not only the ninjas of Konoha, but also the people of Pastoral Country and the Jonin of Sound Ninja Village quietly pricked up their ears, wondering why this rebellious ninja from Konoha Village suddenly returned to Konoha. Why.

Orochimaru didn't let them wait for long, and quickly gave a reply: "I'm looking for you this time. It's an informal peace talk."

He spoke slowly: "The Country of Pastoral, or the Sound Ninja Village, hopes to establish diplomatic relations with Konoha."

After hearing this, Tsunade silently put down her wine glass, slowly crossed her arms in front of her chest, leaned back slightly on the back of the chair, and smiled lightly:

"The reason?"

"Did you know that there is a mysterious organization that collects tailed beasts?"

"Well, I know." Tsunade thought for a while and then said it: "Jiraiya is investigating."

Orochimaru smiled slightly: "That fool is no match for them, let him stop." Then he looked away and said thoughtfully:

"The Fourth Ninja War is probably coming soon."

"Oh, do you think he will listen?" Tsunade smiled and crossed her hands in front of her, resting her elbows on the table. After thinking for a long time, she looked at Orochimaru and said uncertainly: "Do you think this organization will trigger the entire ninja movement?" A battle in the world?”

"The members of the organization are all S-level traitorous ninjas. With their abilities, it is not a problem to destroy several countries." He turned around and gave Qian Yehan another drink and continued: "Since Konoha has Kyuubi, I guess... you Will meet them soon."

"What do you mean?" Tsunade took over.

“Build good relationships, share information, and communicate what you need.”

Tsunade was silent for a while and did not give an accurate answer:

"Let's think about it."

The atmosphere returned to silence, except for occasional slight voices and the clinking of cups and bowls.

During the whole meal, Yamashita Matsushita was like a background. Only at the beginning and end of the meal, the Hokage said a few greetings as the host. After that, no one paid attention to him anymore. Qian Yehan felt that he was really pitiful.

After the meal, everyone came out of the banquet hall one after another in the order of guests first and hosts first.

"Where are you going?" Qian Yehan asked as she pulled Orochimaru away quickly. She was really afraid that her brother and Orochimaru would conflict. No matter whose home field it was now, it would only be her brother who would suffer.

She decided that after Orochimaru was settled first, she would go home to appease her brother and inform her family about Orochimaru in advance.

Orochimaru let Qian Yehan pull him, he glanced behind him and curved his lips: "Let's go to your house first."

"what?"

Only a few seconds later, she heard a rush of footsteps behind her, and then a voice came: "Orochimaru, hand over my sister!"

Stopping in her tracks, Orochimaru was surrounded by the twelve Jonin who had just been at the table. She silently looked at her brother who was running over. He was very weak, and there was Kakashi behind him. It seemed that he was still attracted by him. Pulled here...

The huge disparity in the number of people between the two sides did not stop Chino Yu. He dragged Kakashi, took three steps and two steps at a time, and stood in front of Orochimaru without hesitation.

Qian Yehan rushed over and grabbed his brother's hand: "Brother, don't do anything. I'm really fine."

She was really afraid that her brother would be pushed to the ground and rubbed by Orochimaru.

Chino Yu suddenly pulled his sister behind him, and directed his sharp eyes at Orochimaru: "Thank you for bringing my sister back. We are leaving now, but the debt between us has not been settled yet, and we will have to continue to settle it in the future. "

Seeing this, the Jonin of the Oto Ninja Village all got into position and prepared to repair him. Orochimaru slowly raised his hand to stop them. He smiled calmly: "You guys go back first."

He gave instructions to the Jonin behind him without looking back.

"Yes……"

Everyone in the Sound Ninja Village left one after another, except for Zhiyu who stayed in place and acted as Orochimaru's bodyguard.

As the number of people decreased, Qian Yehan immediately stepped between the two of them to create a barrier.

She held her brother's hand, and held Orochimaru at the same time, and said to her brother: "Let's... go home and take a look first. After so long, I miss my parents and Xiaohua."

Qianye Yu nodded subconsciously, and then saw his sister's hand on the other side holding hands with his peripheral vision. He was a little confused for a moment and stayed there for ten seconds.

Then, like a reflex, he directly pulled his sister over, with a tone that was partly shocked, partly confused, and partly frightened:

"Xiaohan, you want to take him home?! Do you know who he is?!"

"He is... the bodyguard of the Daimyo, and he is also from the Sound Ninja Village who wants to establish diplomatic relations with Konoha Village... um, the village chief." She tried her best to say something less sensitive about her identity: "That... you know, we Things between us are a bit complicated, let’s talk about it when we go home..."

The elder brother still looked wary: "Just entering the house like this, can you ensure that he will not cause danger to the family?"

Ah...this...

"Don't worry, brother, it won't happen. He promised me. And...if he really wants to cause danger to someone, does it matter where he is..."

Chino Yu, together with Kakashi beside him, fell silent one after another.

After more than ten seconds of silence, Kakashi spoke first: "Yu-kun, it seems like I have nothing to do here. I have to go for a night check, so I'll leave first."

He planned to run away, report the matter as soon as possible, and ask the Anbu to send more manpower to protect the Chino family.

If this matter could have a good ending, he could consider asking Sasuke about it.

Ignoring the retention in Qianye Yu's eyes, Kakashi turned and left. Before leaving, he smiled at Qianye Yu: "Nice to see you again, Miss Yingli."

Qian Yehan smiled and waved to him: "Thank you for accompanying my brother here."

Qian Yehan walked between the two people. After taking a few steps, Orochimaru took out a fox mask from somewhere and put it on his face.

"Why are you wearing this?" Qian Yehan asked.

"In the Leaf Village, my face may still cause some disturbance and inconvenience."

"Huh, you know that." Qianye Yu quickly answered: "Because of you, we have lost Xiaohan for eleven years. Now, why do you continue to force her to be with you?"

"Well, what you said makes sense." After hearing this, Orochimaru actually agreed with Chino Yu's words.

This answer caught Chino Yu off guard, and she choked back the next sentence he had prepared. He was stunned for a while, and finally gritted his teeth: "In short, I don't agree. Even if you make friends with Konoha again, I won't agree."

His tone was deep: "I have been checking you for as long as you have captured Xiaohan, Orochimaru, I know very well what kind of person you are and what you have done. You are by no means a kind person, nor a good person. "

Orochimaru smiled softly: "Yu-kun, since you know me so well, you should also know that I am very obsessed with the things I like. Besides, don't you want to hear your sister's opinion?"

"Since she will run back from you, it is the best evidence that you are not good to my sister."

"If I had treated her badly, she wouldn't be here now. You should know my attitude towards betrayers."

Chino Yuu lowered his eyes.

"And, you see, knowing that she missed home, I used some small connections to allow her to enter Konoha openly. I was not really nice to her before, but since then, I have tried to make up for it. "

If anyone were to listen to it, they would think that these words were nothing, but for Chino Yu who had been investigating Orochimaru for a long time, this was not the case.

It was precisely because he had patiently investigated for many years and learned more about Orochimaru that he could feel that Orochimaru was indeed a little more humane towards his sister and actually considered other people's thoughts. Although it still couldn't be said that he liked it, he had never seen such a change in Orochimaru.

"Did you decide to come to Konoha to establish diplomatic relations because of my sister?" Chino Yu asked.

Orochimaru's lips curled up and he couldn't deny it.

"Even so, we won't agree so easily. Orochimaru, even if our whole family objects, you won't let my sister go, right?"

"What do you think?" Orochimaru did not answer directly, but the answer was obvious.

The air was silent for a while, and for a long time, only the footsteps of a few people and the slight sound of the night wind could be heard.

As time goes by, pedestrians gradually become fewer and fewer.

When there were no more pedestrians around, Qian Yehan suddenly saw a fist flashing across her eyes from left to right:

"Orochimaru, you have made my sister suffer so much."

It was her brother's voice.

She was shocked to see that after the fist moved away from her eyes, it actually hit Orochimaru in the face!

Chino Yu’s voice sounded again:

"As a brother, I must teach you a lesson for my sister."
