Naruto: Sasuke loves to visit forums

On November 3, it rained in early winter.

Konoha, underground detention room.

"So, the origin of the curse mark on my neck is also what you said, heavy, heavy."

"Jugo."

Kimimaro replied.

Sasuke nodded, feeling once again that Orochimaru's power is really as big as a tree and has deep roots.

These days, he and Kimimaro have established a certain bond.

Although, Kimimaro was still indifferent and showed no interest in anything.

But in the face of Sasuke's kindness, Kimimaro already knew it very well.

On this day, they chatted for a while about things in Orochimaru's Sound Ninja Village base.

Regarding the power of the curse seal, Sasuke showed great interest.

I thought, if I have a chance in the future, I really want to meet this guy named Chonggo.

After a moment of silence, Sasuke checked the relevant suggestions in the system:

[Be sincere and consistent, treat Kimimaro with unconditional positive care and empathy, and help him find a new direction and value. Adopt and complete this suggestion to get a C-level scroll]

Looking back on the past few days, the prerequisites should have been met.

So, Sasuke decided to hit a straight shot:

"So, are you willing to look for new directions and values?"

Kimimaro was stunned for a moment, then fell into silence.

"Of course, it doesn't matter if it has nothing to do with Konoha. I'm just talking about your own life."

Sasuke added quickly.

Kimimaro smiled slightly to express his understanding.

After getting along with each other these days, he wanted to believe that Sasuke was indeed considering everything from his own point of view.

After thinking for a while, Kimimaro finally said: "I don't know. These days, I am very grateful to you, but if there is no such thing, to be honest, it doesn't matter."

Sasuke stared into Kimimaro's eyes, which were firmer than when they first met.

Now, all that was left in Kimimaro's eyes was foggy confusion.

"So, how are you thinking about that matter?"

Sasuke brought up the second system suggestion again.

[Transformed into Orochimaru and sat across from Kimimaro, helping him get out of the cliff-like quagmire of trauma. Adopt and complete this suggestion to get a D-level scroll]

Kimimaro's expression darkened, and his calm face seemed to be blown by the wind, becoming fragile and trembling. He lowered his head and muttered: "I, I'm not sure."

After hearing this, Sasuke couldn't hide his disappointment.

The torches on the wall swayed and made a "crackling" sound.

I could only hear the winter rain falling thinly on the land above my head, and the air was filled with a damp and cold smell.

"Then, I'll go first."

"How about giving it a try!"

"Okay, I'll go back first, ah? What did you say?"

Sasuke doubted his ears.

"Try it."

Kimimaro regained his calm face again, looked at Sasuke and said.

Probably because of the rain, Kimimaro suddenly felt that everything seemed familiar, and this familiarity made him feel at ease.

For a moment, he suddenly felt, what can he do?

Anyway, what is lost has already been lost.

After Sasuke confirmed Kimimaro's intention, he quickly walked to the next room.

To be honest, for this day, he even asked Jiraiya to help him check whether his imitation of Orochimaru's transformation technique was similar enough.

At this time, Sasuke was seen carefully recalling every detail and performing the transformation technique.

"Hi."

Sasuke, who transformed into Orochimaru, walked into the room again and sat down in front of the table, opposite Kimimaro.

According to the agreement, he would not say anything and would just sit quietly.

However, the expected anger and crying did not appear. Kimimaro just looked at Sasuke with slight surprise, and then lowered his head.

Sasuke just sat like that, and the cave was quiet for a long time. The sound of rain and torches continued monotonously, making people feel vague about the existence of time.

Sasuke even began to wonder if there was something wrong, for example, that he actually didn't look like him.

Suddenly, he noticed that Kimimaro's drooping hands were trembling slightly in an imperceptible manner.

His nails had dug into his flesh, and traces of blood oozed out.

Kimimaro raised his head again, staring at Orochimaru's face in confusion.

He looked expressionless like that, but tears were streaming down his face.

Sasuke felt a sense of sadness in his heart for no reason, and he suddenly thought about how to stop it first.

Just as he was about to speak, Kimimaro gradually calmed down and said calmly:

"So, it's all a lie to me, right?"

Sasuke swallowed nervously, not knowing what to say.

"but,"

Kimimaro took a deep breath and continued:

"Thank you very much, Orochimaru-sama."

Kimimaro wiped away his tears, walked up to Sasuke, and bowed deeply.

"I have been very happy these years. Even if it is just a dream."

Kimimaro whispered into Orochimaru's ear.

Immediately afterwards, Kimimaro stood up straight and said firmly:

"But, I have to wake up eventually. I want to."

Kimimaro looked into Orochimaru's eyes, and through those eyes, he seemed to be speaking to Sasuke:

"Look for new directions and values ​​again!"

Ding!

[Congratulations on completing your proposal - transform into Orochimaru, sit opposite Kimimaro, and help him get out of the cliff-like quagmire of trauma. Get a D-level scroll! 】

A system prompt suddenly sounded in Sasuke's mind, and he only heard a "bang".

Sasuke released the transformation technique and sat in front of the table in a daze.

-

It's night, dinner, the Hokage's house.

"Master Toad, I still have to go to the village."

Sasuke said to Jiraiya while eating.

"Is Kimimaro done?"

Jiraiya asked nonchalantly.

"No. But he should have let go of his attachment to Orochimaru. Today, he told me that he wants to return to the place where he was born and find the original meaning again."

"The Kingdom of Water?"

Jiraiya recalled the relevant information that Sasuke had obtained previously.

"Yes."

So, all these days have been wasted?

Jiraiya was a little depressed.

For Konoha, Kimimaro is more than just a strong player.

As a close confidant around Orochimaru, his intelligence value cannot be ignored.

Although now, Sasuke has gotten back some information.

However, according to the judgment of Staff Officer Nara Shikaku, the information currently obtained from Kimimaro is far from enough.

For example, the defense map of the Oto Ninja Hidden Village.

Today, it seems that only the first half of the goal of "turning enemies into friends" has been accomplished.

If Kimimaro was just allowed to leave like this, it would indeed be a purely good person and a good deed.

Jiraiya was undecided.

"Has Tsunade-sama made any conclusions about his physical condition?"

Sasuke's words interrupted Jiraiya's train of thought.

"Ah, just saying that it is very rare. It can be controlled, but it is difficult to cure."

Jiraiya replied.

"How rare is it?"

"Let's put it this way, we can give you some advice on what this disease will be called in the future."

"puff--"

Naruto was drinking water at the side and couldn't hold back and squirted out all of it.

"Cough, cough. Sorry, I can't hold it back. You continue."

Naruto hurriedly wiped the table.

Jiraiya glanced at Naruto speechlessly, then suddenly thought of something, turned to Sasuke and asked:

"You just said you wanted to go out to the village. What did you mean?"

Thanks to the book friend, Qiankun Sihan, the tea is fragrant and fengcha, the book friend 20230920100900612, the book friend 20230916002732719, the book friend 20231121182322931, the flag wood Kakazi, and the Cyclops melon planting reward. Today the book was submitted for publication. Honestly, this book should have been on shelves a week ago. At present, I think I am the latest among the works of the same period. But after careful consideration, we decided to postpone the launch until here. Because I know that after it is put on the shelves, some book lovers who have been pursuing it will inevitably choose to stop this journey. So, I hope that what I leave to these people in the end is a complete, warm, daily picture of Konoha. In this parallel universe, Sasuke has companions, family, and a nascent career. At the same time, I would like to bow down and thank those book friends who are willing to continue. We still have many stories to tell in the days to come. The branches of the plot are beginning to spread to the entire ninja world, and Sasuke's journey will also move towards the stars and the sea. For the story that is going to happen next, I am equally excited, nervous and excited at the same time. The new year is coming soon. Something good must happen. I'm always looking forward to it. Thank you for everything and wish you a safe winter.
