Chapter 393: The Hokage Building is surrounded
After saying this, the scene of his first meeting with Tendo Pain appeared in Orochimaru's eyes.
It was a forest, and two people wearing the same red cloud cloak stood in front of him and said they wanted to recruit him.
Orochimaru recognized Pein's eyes at a glance. He became greedy and acted with lightning speed.
But when he was about to succeed, he was pushed away.
That strange power was different from wind jutsu, and its chakra had no trace of the five common chakras.
It is obviously a power that does not belong to the bloodline limit.
Orochimaru knew clearly that he could not defeat Pain, so he pretended to join, but actually made plans.
But the appearance of Haneda later disrupted his plan and he had to return to Konoha.
Orochimaru introduced: "The abilities of the Rinnegan that I know of include attraction and repulsion."
"Pain will perform two kinds of ninjutsu, one is the Tensei Tensei, and the other is the Shinra Tensei."
"The former is gravity, and the latter is repulsion, both offensive and defensive."
"Pain's abilities are far more than that. There are six complete Pains, called the Six Paths Pain."
"I guess everyone has different abilities."
"And each ability comes from the Samsara Eye. The power of the Samsara Eye is very strange. Without intelligence, it is easy to die in the Samsara Eye."
Orochimaru spread his hands and said, "So, Haneda-kun's victory is inevitable, but the final winner remains to be determined."
"The ultimate winner?" Jiraiya and Tsunade muttered to themselves.
But Orochimaru did not explain this.
He knew that Akatsuki was divided into two factions, one was the leader Pain's people, and the other was...
Haha, since he only obeys calls and not decrees, is Pain still the real leader of the Akatsuki organization?
Orochimaru smiled and said, "You should ask about these things proactively. I didn't come to you to explain these things."
Jiraiya asked suspiciously, "Then what are you doing here? You're not the type who likes to waste time at dinner parties."
Orochimaru smiled and said:
"I told you that people will change eventually. Those who didn't have time to change are already dead. I'm still alive."
As he spoke, Orochimaru pulled out the chair next to Jiraiya and sat down.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiraiya wiped his eyes, feeling it was unreal.
Is Orochimaru serious?
They haven't had dinner together for a long time...
Jiraiya still remembered how ruthless Orochimaru was when his human experiments were exposed.
At that time, he did not hesitate to attack me, even though he let me go in the end.
"so……"
“Can people really change?”
Jiraiya wasn't entirely sure of the answer, but he enjoyed the meal with his former best friend.
The feeling is indescribable.
He seems to have caught Orochimaru back!
…………
Afternoon, Hokage Building.
Outside the Hokage building, there were circles of Konoha residents gathered there, many of them holding a newspaper tightly in their hands.
That was suddenly announced by the Hokage Building in the afternoon without any warning.
Their beloved Hokage had contracted a terminal illness and had no choice but to seek medical treatment.
Some of the people gathered here tried to sneak in and wanted to go in and ask the Hokage for clarification.
Some people also scolded the elders and staff of the Hokage for not doing their job and failing to take good care of the great Hokage.
The ones who got scolded the most were Shikaku and Tsunade. The former was Haneda's second in command but the de facto number one, and the latter was Konoha's strongest doctor.
If it weren't for the on-duty personnel and Anbu maintaining order and the people maintaining respect for the Hokage, the Hokage Building would have probably been stormed.
But inside the Hokage building, Haneda was lying on the Hokage chair, drinking tea leisurely.
Meanwhile, Shikaku, who was in the office, was listening to the Anbu's investigation report.
When he heard himself being scolded by people outside, he subconsciously looked at Haneda who was drinking tea, as if to say, it's your fault.
Haneda smiled and comforted:
"Lu Jiu, what does insulting you have to do with it?"
"As you gain more experience, the cynicism behind you will gradually fade away, and gradually, you won't be able to hear it anymore."
"Let them curse if they want to. So what if they curse?"
"A shallow-minded person will get angry at swearing, while a broad-minded person will just think it's just what others think of you."
"The most important thing for a person is himself. A real man knows clearly what he wants to do!"
"We are doing a great cause, a path that no one has ever walked before. It is normal that others find it difficult to understand."
"Because a person's cognition always limits the reality he experiences."
“So, when you are sure that you will succeed, follow your own path and let others talk.”
Shikaku opened his eyes wide, and he couldn't believe that Haneda said this.
When did Hokage-sama become so cultured?
Didn’t Kakashi say that he doesn’t usually read?
Meanwhile, Shisui, who was standing aside, was full of admiration, like a surging river, endless.
As expected of Hokage, his reasoning is so profound!
But at this moment, with a bang, a figure pushed the door open breathlessly and rushed in.
He immediately spotted Haneda who was sitting on the Hokage chair. He immediately rushed over and said with tears in his eyes:
"Brother Haneda! You can't die!"
"How can I live without you, Brother Haneda!"
“Wuwuwu??????????”
This cry made Haneda speechless:
"Who told you I was going to die, Asuma? Am I not alive and well?"
"Newspapers, newspapers...Brother Haneda! You don't have to hide it from me. I already know it. Shikaku can't hide it either. Tsunade can't hide it either. Brother Haneda!"
“Wuwuwu??????????”
Lu Jiu, who was below, wanted to laugh for some reason when watching this scene. No, he actually laughed out loud.
He coughed a few times and explained for Haneda:
"That was fake news, Asuma."
"Hokage-sama, I don't have any terminal illness. It's just a fantasy. I didn't hide it from you on purpose."
At this point, Shikaku couldn't help but say in a complaining tone:
"This is what I and Lord Hokage have discussed here. It's normal that you didn't get the news in advance since you were away for a long time."
"Really?" Asuma looked at Shikaku cautiously, then at Haneda.
"Really." Haneda and Shikaku said in unison.
"real!"
When Asuma heard the exact news, he immediately burst into laughter.
He complained quietly:
"Brother Haneda, you are so stupid for not telling me such important news in advance."
Haneda said: "You were not there at that time."
Asuma said, "Then they should send an ANBU to notify me to come here to discuss this."
"You were supervising the construction of a large statue for me at the time. Don't let the Anbu disturb you."
"..." Asuma was speechless. He seemed to remember that someone from the Anbu had come to see him before.
But he habitually shirked his responsibilities.
After all, how could going to an office for a meeting or going to jail be as important as recording the great achievements of Brother Haneda?
When he came back, the news that Brother Haneda was suffering from a terminal illness had spread throughout Konoha.
He rushed in without having time to confirm the authenticity.
