Chapter 808: White Fang and The Snake (End) |
After that, the two hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Orochimaru is still busy with his experiments.
It's just that he still has his own bottom line, and only uses the corpses of the enemy.
His experiments have come a long way, and success seems to be beckoning him not far away.
The forty years of Konoha.
The war is still going on.
Uchiha Mikaze died in the battlefield!
Sakumo returned to Konoha with Mikaze's body.
In Sakumo's life, he has lost another important person.
"Sakumo, does Mikaze live in your heart now?"
Orochimaru left the lab.
In the setting sun, he saw Sakumo's figure being silent at the Memorial Stone.
He haven't left for a long time.
There were a lot of things in his eyes, and the Orochimaru on the side could not see through it for a while.
But what surprised Orochimaru was that there was a kind of relief.
'Relief?'
'Why does he feel relieved?'
'What decision did he make?'
Orochimaru doesn't know.
But he was suddenly scared.
He feels that this person in front of him will disappear.
'Will he disappear?'
'This man who is like a cold sword.'
" Sakumo..."
Orochimaru stood behind Sakumo and called softly.
Just like when he secretly watched Sakumo trained his swordsmanship.
Sakumo didn't look back, and just said softly: "Orochimaru, people's path always has to be made by themselves. It's just, don't regret it. Mikaze made his own choice. I also have chosen my path. Then, your choice, what path will you choose?"
Orochimaru was taken aback.
'My path?'
Sakumo turned around, looked at Orochimaru, and said, "Orochimaru, Mikaze made me understand a truth."
"What is it?"
"Sometimes, choice is more important than anything else."
"Choice?"
"Choice is a measure. People tend to choose a direction that is beneficial to themselves. That is what normal people do. But some people choose a direction that is not good for them, and instead good for the others. That is what a fool does."
"It is a fool indeed, just like Jiraiya."
"But I want to do such a fool's way too."
Sakumo said, and smiled again.
Then he turned away and left.
Under the sunlight, Sakumo's shadow seemed to be stretched very long.
Orochimaru stayed in place quietly, not knowing why.
'What did Sakumo figure out?'
'What does he want to do?'
Orochimaru doesn't know.
Orochimaru didn't expect that this time, it would be the last time the two met.
Years passed and the Second Shinobi World War is finally over.
And Sakumo's son, Kakashi also began to emerge.
Graduated at the age of five, became a Chunin at the age of six.
The reputation of Hatake Kakashi's geniusness has spread to every corner of Konoha.
"Hatake Kakashi? Sakumo, you have a good son."
When Orochimaru knew this news, he was just happy for his friend, and then, he put himself into the experiment again.
His experiment is almost successful.
The forty-five years of Konoha in June.
Hatake Sakumo, a super Shinobi known as Konoha's White Fang, committed suicide at his home because of the rumors.
When he died, only his seven-year-old son was by his side.
In the lab, Orochimaru was extremely shocked when he heard the news!
"How is it possible! How could Sakumo die!"
Orochimaru was shocked and left the lab in an instant.
But what came was Sakumo's funeral.
The funeral was very simple.
Apart from Kakashi and Sandaime Hokage, there was no one else.
Jiraiya traveled outside and knew nothing about it.
Orochimaru stood far away from the cemetery without saying a word.
"Is he really dead?"
Orochimaru looked at Sakumo, who was lying quietly, without a trace of vitality.
It is a corpse.
A corpse without any possibility of resurrecting.
He did not die under the enemy's knife, but under his own White Fang Sword.
How ironic.
" Sakumo..."
Orochimaru called softly, and his fists clenched tightly.
'Is this the choice you said?'
Orochimaru roared angrily in his heart, and he is full of confusion.
'How can such a strong man die like this?'
He doesn't believe it.
Starting that day, Orochimaru left the lab.
The research that was about to be successful has also been put aside for the time being.
He is investigating, investigating the cause of Sakumo's death.
He investigates the source of the rumor!
All of the clues point to one person!
Danzo!
And...
In the lab, under the dim light.
Orochimaru watched the candlelight quietly.
The flickering candlelight.
"Sakumo, you are right. People have to make their own choices."
Orochimaru murmured softly, and then gently squeezed the candlelight.
The room was plunged into darkness.
Orochimaru no longer wanted to stay in this place.
But before leaving, there might be some things he need to get hold of.
The forty-six years of Konoha.
Danzo's Root got the news that Orochimaru is tinkering with human experiments.
In the same year, Danzo joined the Orochimaru experiment on the condition of providing experimental materials.
Research object, Hashirama's cells!
During this period, Danzo instigated Orochimaru to use the Shinobi from the same village as an experimental subject.
Orochimaru smiled and accepted it.
In the forty-six years of Konoha, the researched of Hashirama's cells came to an end, and the only successful experimental subject, Kinoe, was completed.
The fifty-years of Konoha, Orochimaru failed to become the Hokage, and Minato became the Yondaime Hokage.
When Orochimaru heard the news, he just smiled lightly.
"Hokage? It's really boring."
If it wasn't to calm Danzo, Orochimaru would not have become Hokage's candidate at all.
The fifty years of Konoha, the Kyūbi's Attack!
Orochimaru quietly looks at the Kyūbi wreak havoc in the village, and the young Hokage, Namikaze Minato gave his life to protect the village.
Using the ultimate Fūinjutsu of the Uzumaki Clan, the Shiki Fūjin (Dead Demon Consuming Seal).
"Using such technique to seal the Kyūbi is really unwise. Why did Minato do this?"
Orochimaru was puzzled, but he keenly sensed something.
The Shinobi World is about to plunge into chaos.
"Did you entrust the future to your son? Minato, is this your choice?" Orochimaru murmured softly.
The fifty-two years of Konoha.
The cooperation between Orochimaru and Danzo broke down.
Danzo was furious and revealed to Sandaime Hokage that Orochimaru's experiments are using Konoha's Shinobi.
Sandaime Hokage was furious and expelled Orochimaru from Konoha.
At that time, Orochimaru met Kakashi for the first time.
'That's Sakumo's son.'
"Silver-white hair? It seems that you are Kakashi. I did not expect that Sakumo's son is already this big. Haha, it's really interesting. Let's see how much of thing you have learned from your father."
Seeing the nostalgic Hatake Clan Sword Technique, Orochimaru accidentally failed to dodge and was slightly injured by Kakashi.
'Sakumo, your son has grown up.'
Orochimaru grabbed his injured arm, revealing a subtle smile.
At that moment, it was as if he had returned to that sunny morning.
