Chapter 173 Spring in Jirobo (page 13)

After breaking into the hall, Kabuto Yakushi was about to report the secret message he had received when he caught a glimpse of Hyuga Neji standing aside.

When the words came to my lips, I couldn't help but swallow them back alive.

Then, he walked hurriedly to Orochimaru's seat, leaned down and whispered in a low voice.

As Kabuto Yakushi continued to tell, Orochimaru's expression changed from joy at the beginning, to confusion, and then to suspicion.

Finally, it gradually became gloomy.

I saw him taking the scroll from Yakushi Kabuto's hand, looking down at it, and not taking his eyes away for a long time.

In the hall, Hyuga Neji looked at the two people's actions and felt a little confused.

"You just said that Sasuke has left Konoha."

After a long while, Orochimaru finally raised his head again, closed the scroll, stared at Neji in the hall and asked.

"Yes."

Neji nodded.

"Then, what use will you have in the rest of the process?"

Orochimaru spoke very slowly, but his murderous intent was clearly evident.

"I said that without my follow-up command, Sasuke will immediately turn around and go back! This deal will also be voided!"

Under the strong intimidation, Hyuga Neji couldn't help but take half a step back.

However, he still held on to his composure, spoke forcefully, and opened his mouth to answer.

"What a pity, Sasuke may not think so."

Orochimaru made a hoarse voice and threw the scroll forward.

The scattered scrolls were thrown directly in front of Neji.

Hyuga Neji was full of suspicion, and he was already curious about the contents of the scroll.

When I picked it up and looked at it, I saw eight big characters written on it:

"Kill Hyuga Neji immediately."

My heart suddenly felt like it was being hammered, and I couldn't help but panic.

He quickly figured out in his mind who wrote these eight words, and whose meaning behind them was.

Listening to Orochimaru's tone just now, it seemed that it was Sasuke's request to Orochimaru.

But how is this possible?

"I don't know who came up with this order.

"But the only thing I know is that Sasuke will be waiting at the Valley of the End before dark."

No, this was definitely not what Sasuke meant.

Neji forced himself to suppress the panic in his heart.

He poured out all the information he had prepared that could be produced at this stage:

"If, after dark, there is still no Otogakure ninja coming to contact me with my password.

"Then, Sasuke will return to Konoha immediately. As we said before, all this will be treated as if it never happened!

"At that time, it will delay the business. My life and death will naturally depend on your decision, Orochimaru-sama!"

Having said this, Neji felt a surge of pride surge into his chest, stared into Orochimaru's eyes, and replied loudly:

"Since I dare to come, I'm ready to leave my life behind!

"It's just that it would be too ridiculous to want to take my life with just a scroll that came out of nowhere!

"If it really ends like this, it seems that you, Orochimaru, are not the person I thought you were. The so-called subversion of Konoha is just a dream!

"I misjudged you, you deserve this! Just take this life!"

Hyuga Neji stood there proudly, his eyes as bright as a torch and his bones steely.

"Did I tell you what I was going to do?"

Orochimaru asked calmly with a hoarse voice.

Neji was stunned for a moment, and gradually calmed down.

As for the source of this information, if it wasn't Sasuke, there were only two.

One is directed and acted by Orochimaru himself or Kabuto Yakushi;

The other one came from the information channel that had been used before—Shimura Danzo.

Orochimaru was very confident at first, saying that this was what Sasuke meant.

I'm afraid, the latter is more likely.

After having some speculation in his mind, Hinata Neji sneered and said:

“It seems that Danzo Shimura of Konoha does not regard you as an equal ally.

"There are quite a few who want to use you as a puppet on a string, a tool for them to kill people with a borrowed knife."

Regarding this possibility, Orochimaru also had doubts in his heart, but he was not as sure as Neji.

Faced with Neci's provocation, Orochimaru laughed sadly and responded:

"Who in this ninja world is not a tool?

"In the world of ninjas, there are only two relationships: use and being used."

Orochimaru sat there steadily, staring at Neji with his golden vertical pupils, and said with concentration:

"I can be the tool of others.

"Others can also be my tools.

“As you found me.

"Just like I accept you."

The hoarse voice accompanied by the rough truth made Neji feel a twinge of pain.

There was a very uncomfortable expression on his face.

"Since you still have the agreed password. Then, let's continue to act according to your instructions."

Seeing Neji's reaction, Orochimaru was very satisfied:

"Anyway, you're safe until tonight."

He continued with a dark voice.

"So, what about after tonight?"

Neji asked hesitantly.

"Well guess what?"

Orochimaru licked his tongue and showed an evil smile.

Neji felt a chill in his heart.

Come to think of it, now we are the ones who work for the swordsmen, and I work for the fish and meat.

Even if there was no secret message urging him to die, he was already in a situation like facing an abyss.

Now, all we can do is ignore the noise and move forward according to the original plan.

Thinking of this, Hyuga Neji clasped his hands in his fists, looked solemn, and said:

"I implore Lord Orochimaru to immediately send Jirobo to the Valley of the End alone and wait for further news from Sasuke!"

He chose to believe Sasuke.

He could only choose to believe Sasuke.

-

Regarding the choice of messenger, Hyuga Neji had already made up his mind when he saw Jirobo for the first time.

First of all, this candidate should have received Orochimaru's basic trust——

Since Orochimaru would send him to guard him, it means that Jirobo has met this condition;

Secondly, this candidate cannot be too strong in terms of strength——

Considering that he was Kidomaru's teammate and was bullied by his teammates.

Jirobo's strength should not pose any threat to Sasuke;

The last, and of course the most important, condition is that the candidate must have a stable enough personality——

Compared to the playful Kidomaru and the competitive Tayuya.

Jirobo, who has a gentle personality and pays great attention to polite speech, is undoubtedly the best candidate to serve as a messenger tool.
