When I am not in good health, it feels good to have someone by my side to take care of me.

Orochimaru didn't like others wandering around his home, but his current situation was no better than when he had just finished his reincarnation.

I don't know what happened to the natural energy that White Snake Sennin injected into his body, which made Orochimaru always feel that his current body was strange.

His extremely weak body made him less interested in many things.

Things like three meals a day and water intake, which are used to ensure the normal life of this body, cannot arouse his interest.

Having a simple child like Hongdou hanging around him was actually providing convenience for him at the moment.

Therefore, Orochimaru didn't bother to chase her away.

If Orochimaru didn't chase her away, Anko would come every day, boil water, cook rice, and then take it to the bedroom to watch Orochimaru finish eating, then wash the dishes and put them away.

Hongdou is just a ten-year-old child. What kind of cooking skills can such a little kid have?

Fortunately, Orochimaru is not a picky person.

Under Anko's care like an animal, Orochimaru's body gradually recovered after a month. His face was still pale, but he could move freely.

Now that he is almost in good health, Orochimaru's first thing is to study how to summon all the snakes without signing a contract.

I had thought about this idea when I was in the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave.

It is not impossible to summon a psychic beast without relying on a blood contract.

To put it bluntly, summoning psychic beasts is a kind of time and space ninjutsu. It opens a time and space channel and summons psychic beasts from far away to one's side.

If you want to summon, you need something to connect the owner and the psychic beast. This thing is usually blood, and blood is a necessary condition for the blood contract.

But Orochimaru's previous contract has expired with the replacement of his body. What he has to do is not to stick to the blood of a single person, and he can summon all snakes even with the blood of others.

If you can't use the blood of a specific person to summon, then set up a psychic array that only targets Ten Thousand Snakes.

Blood is a necessary primer for channeling, and this array is used to summon specific objects. Through this array, only one snake can be summoned, and nothing else can be summoned.

Orochimaru has always been famous for his snake ninjutsu. In addition to the ten thousand snakes that come out to work for him when necessary, he also needs other snakes. Later, these will also need to be perfected step by step.

Rather than racking his brains to become Hokage, Orochimaru still prefers to spend his time on his own research and the pursuit of body transformation and ninjutsu. No matter how you look at it, the latter is better than the former. Much more interesting.

If you can't continue in Konoha, then turn your laboratory into a stronghold and move to other places, outside the village, or even outside the Land of Fire.

It is not easy for a ninja to stay outside the village for a long time to conduct research. As a numbered ninja, it is not feasible to leave the village without permission. In serious cases, it will be regarded as He rebelled against Ninja and was hunted down by ANBU.

Orochimaru thought that it was time to go out of the village and go shopping like Jiraiya and Tsunade.

"Eh?"

When Orochimaru said that he was going out again, Anko's first reaction was worry. Last time, Orochimaru left for five days and was so seriously injured when he came back. Now that he wants to leave for a longer time, then Wait for him to come back...

"Lord Orochimaru, you said you would teach me..."

Well, Orochimaru remembered. Now that he is a jounin, it seems a bit unreasonable to leave his disciples in the village without asking questions after being out for a long time.

She was not that Jiraiya guy, and Anko was not Minato. She didn't have Minato's talent, and if she took the approach of letting it go, the child would probably be useless.

After all, he is his disciple in name. If he is useless, his teacher will be disgraced.

Thinking like this, Orochimaru began to think about how to complete what he wanted to do in the shortest possible time so that he could take time to teach his disciples. At the same time, he also had to find something for Anko to do while he was away. After all, This child wants to make progress by following him.

Orochimaru walked to the cabinet on one side, and after thinking for a moment, he took out a scroll from a pile of scrolls on the lower floor and handed it to Anko.

"While I'm away, you should learn this ninjutsu. You have fire-attribute chakra. This C-level ninjutsu is just right for you now."

Anko looked at the scroll in her hand, and a look of joy gradually appeared on her face. She had been following Orochimaru for several months, and finally started to come into contact with ninjutsu.

"I will accept the results when I come back, don't let me down."

Anko raised her head with bright eyes, and Orochimaru's face was reflected in the black pupils. Orochimaru looked at her and couldn't help but secretly thought in his heart, children are children, and a mere C-level ninjutsu can make them happy like this.

"Well, I will definitely practice well."

"Then let's go, I will demonstrate to you, please watch carefully..." As he said that, Orochimaru walked out of the laboratory first.

~

If he wanted to leave Konoha in compliance with the regulations, Orochimaru had many excuses, and the best one was probably to travel around the ninja world to gain more knowledge.

This excuse is very suitable for Orochimaru today. Jiraiya and Tsunade have been away for a long time. After the war, he wanted to leave Jingjin himself, and Hiruzen had no reason to keep him by his side.

Just like when Jiraiya and Tsunade left, Hiruzen asked about the return date as usual.

Orochimaru is much more reliable than the other two. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's only been about two or three months. I still remember that I am Konoha's Orochimaru, but I may want to travel in the future." It will always be there, I hope the teacher can let me have some freedom."

Hiruzen thought that his only student was leaving, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad. He didn't feel so bad before, but now... maybe it's because he is older and he doesn't want to see separation.

After Orochimaru left the Hokage's office, he walked slowly down the street alone. Before leaving, he wanted to sit in an izakaya.

As a rare visitor to the izakaya, the proprietress was quite surprised to see Orochimaru come alone.

"Ah, I've never seen you here alone. What happened today?"

Orochimaru looked around the small izakaya. There were many drunkards drinking here during the day. After drinking for the first time that night after turning 20, Orochimaru rarely touched it again. These drinks were also done when I was with Jiraiya.

Tsunade didn't have time most of the time, so Jiraiya would drag Orochimaru to an izakaya for a few drinks. This was probably a man's romance.

Now that Jiraiya has not come back, Orochimaru actually has the idea of ​​sitting in an izakaya for the first time.

"Where's Jiraiya? Why didn't he come with you? After all, how long has it been since I saw him?"

"Three years, four months and seventeen days."

"What did you say?" The proprietress brought Orochimaru a bottle of plum wine and a sweet omelette according to the old rules.

"Nothing, just talking."

No matter how many times he drank, Orochimaru still found the taste of the drink unattractive, spicy and choking.

He didn't know why he suddenly wanted to sit in an izakaya, but subconsciously, he understood why.

For me now, if there is anything worthy of my nostalgia in Konoha, apart from those endless ninjutsu, it is probably a few people and some places and things related to those people. .

After going out this time, Konoha cannot let Konoha know what he is going to do. In a sense, this is his retreat, a retreat that cuts off the past, or in other words, the way forward, the way forward.

Taking a sip of the green plum wine in the cup, a faint smile appeared on Orochimaru's lips.

"If exposed, you might be the first person to want to kill me, right?"

Nodding in my mind, "You are indeed such a person."

After finishing a bottle of wine, Orochimaru, who was not a good drinker, felt a little dizzy, but there was still one place he wanted to go.

After leaving the izakaya, I continued walking east until I came to the door of the Chinese restaurant.

It was already past dinner time, and the store was not busy at this time. Er Lei, who walked out of the kitchen, also took off the cigarette from his ear and held it in his mouth. He lit the cigarette with a lighter as he walked. , took two puffs with a look of enjoyment.

When he walked to the door of the store, he suddenly spotted Orochimaru standing outside.

Erlei also became happy when he saw Orochimaru. A face that was very similar to Jiraiya was full of smiles. He walked a few steps quickly and came to Orochimaru. He saw him again after not seeing each other for a long time. It was a long separation. The joy of reunion.

"Orochimaru, why are you here?"

Ninjas are different from ordinary people. Ninjas are very busy, and Orochimaru is even more busy. Even though they live in the same village, it is normal for them not to see each other for days, months or even years.

"I just...passed by here and came to see you."

Erlei also blew out a puff of smoke in another direction, but couldn't help but look back at Orochimaru. He had taken more care of this child since he teamed up with Jiraiya. The child who was seven or eight years old back then, is now He has also reached middle age.

Every time I see Orochimaru, I feel like I'm seeing Jiraiya. For Raiya, Orochimaru is also his half-brother.

"Have you eaten? Do you want to go in and have something to eat?"

Orochimaru shook his head, looked at Raiya, and nodded slightly, "No, I have other things to do. I just wanted to say hello to my brother when I passed by."

elder brother……

This is the first time Orochimaru calls Raiya brother. In the past, even if Raiya tempted him with delicious food, he never called him. What happened today?

Orochimaru knew what was wrong with him, but he knew that he couldn't tell Raiya about this reason.

He was saying goodbye to the village and the important people in the village. He knew that such a farewell could only be done before the incident happened. If that day really came, he would probably end up running for his life.

People who want to say goodbye well will be replaced by running for their lives. Only now, he can do it decently.
