Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 153 Orochimaru Surrenders

In Tian Country, Otogakure Village, or in other words, Otogakure Village, which has now become the Country of Sound, Orochimaru was in the dark research room with a face full of immersion and was obsessed with the piece of white Zetsu meat that he had cloned.

Perhaps even Danzo and Obito had never thought about it. Just by giving Orochimaru a White Zetsu, he could find a way to clone a new White Zetsu by himself. Even though it was just flesh and blood, it was enough for Orochimaru.

There is no one in the world more suitable than White Zetsu to be his carrier - adaptability, vitality, and replaceability.
Orochimaru's Reincarnation Technique, with the help of White Zetsu, has achieved many breakthroughs. It can be said that in today's ninja world, Orochimaru is second to none in this forbidden technique, and no one dares to claim to be the first.

"Lord Orochimaru, Konoha has sent another letter. You should take a look at it yourself."

The voice behind him forced Orochimaru to stop what he was doing. He raised his head from the research table and looked at Kimimaro, who had a calm expression in front of him. He chuckled twice: "It looks like you have recovered well, Kimimaro."

"Thank you, Lord Orochimaru." Kimimaro seemed very respectful.

Perhaps it was fate, or perhaps it was because the blood on his body aroused Orochimaru's interest, and by chance, he eventually became Orochimaru's subordinate.

Orochimaru waved his hand, and Kimimaro handed the phone to him. Orochimaru picked it up and looked at it, his face turned dark.

This guy.
'The traitorous ninja Orochimaru.

You have been on the run long enough, and it is time to return to Konoha and confess your crime.

It is never too late to make amends for past crimes.

Confession is lenient, resistance is strict.

I hope you can cooperate. Turning yourself in voluntarily and being arrested are two different concepts. You understand the difference - Hinata Yuzuru.

￣︶￣'

Orochimaru looked at it for a few seconds, then snorted and put down his phone.

How did this guy type the last emoticon?

How did he get my personal cell phone number?
It seems that Konoha's products can no longer be used casually. However, this thing is really convenient. It's really annoying.
Orochimaru's face was slightly gloomy, and Kimimaro's face was serious: "Lord Orochimaru, otherwise, let's escape?"

"Where to go?" Orochimaru asked, and then said: "Now the research funding is getting higher and higher, and the prices of various research materials are also rising. Without the financial support of the Yinyin Village, the research will stagnate."

His eyes flickered, he picked up his phone and took the initiative to edit the text: "Let's see what Hinata Yuzuru wants to do first."

Although his voice was hoarse and calm when he spoke, and he looked as calm and composed as ever, how could Kimimaro know
Orochimaru was still a little scared at this moment.

If Hinata Yuzuru really came to him, he really didn't think he could escape unscathed.

And the most important thing is, if I am chased all over the ninja world, how can I concentrate on my research?
Or, run to the border between the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Stone Village?
Orochimaru seemed to be thinking about something, but he was still vaguely annoyed in his heart. To be honest, he was not opposed to cooperating with the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Iwa Village, and he had even cooperated with them many times. But if he asked himself, he did not like being involved in these troubles.

He knew very well that under this current situation, if he dared to side with Yanyin Village and Yunyin Village, he would undoubtedly be walking a narrow path.

Others may not know Hinata Yuzuru's abilities, but how could he not know?

It was a monster like the Sage of Six Paths - he believed it was the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths.

He just wants to live quietly for a few hundred more years, or even better a few thousand years. It would be best if he could live forever so that there would be no need to get involved in all those troubles, right?

He looked thoughtfully at Bai Zetsu's body in front of him, feeling the surging vitality in his body after the Immortal Corpse Reincarnation was transferred to Bai Zetsu, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He cancelled the text message he had originally intended to send and quickly edited a new one and sent it to Konoha.

"To the Fifth Hokage, Hyuga Yuzuru."

After he finished writing, he thought about it and changed the text again: "To the respected Fifth Hokage Hyuga Yuzuru. It has been several years since we parted that day."

Orochimaru's words are gorgeous and flattering, fully demonstrating his cultural background from reading a lot over the years, but the whole text can be condensed to mean something like: If I go back, how are you going to convict me?

He put down his phone, looked at Kimimaro who was still unaware of his decision, and thought - judging from some of the actions of the fifth generation, he was also a researcher-type ninja who loved new things. If he sent all his 'treasured' subordinates to him, he might be able to make up for his sins.
The phone soon vibrated with a buzzing sound. Orochimaru picked it up and looked at it, raising his eyebrows.

"Let's talk about it when we come back. Let's see how you perform."

These eight short words made Orochimaru snort again. He threw the phone to Kimimaro and lowered his head on the research table again.

Kimimaro looked at him with an angry expression. Although he was in awe of the fifth generation of Konoha, who was now well-known in the ninja world, he was still very angry when compared with the Lord Orochimaru whom he respected the most.
"Lord Orochimaru, we..."

But Orochimaru raised his head and interrupted Kimimaro's words with his cold gaze. After a while, his hoarse voice whispered: "Be prepared and go to Konoha tomorrow."

Kimimaro looked at Orochimaru in disbelief, but Orochimaru just said quietly, "Take Karin and the others with you as well."

Do you want to take action?
Kimimaro's heart tightened, and he suddenly felt a little nervous, but he didn't hesitate at all: "Yes!"

As Orochimaru's most trusted subordinate and weapon, he will not back down.

After Kimimaro left, Orochimaru waited for a long time before he whispered softly: "Idiot."

How could he not see Kimimaro's thoughts, but because of this, he found it ridiculous.

He has been by my side for so long, why can't you see the true nature of this ninja world?

In this ninja world, there are only three kinds of people.

One is an ordinary person like a weed, whose life is short and meaningless.

The other is the ninja group, who possess great power but whose lives are still short and meaningless.

The third type is monsters like Hinata Yuzuru.

A monster that has vaguely transcended the existence of the human species.

There was some longing in Orochimaru's eyes, but he couldn't help but shake his head. Now he is just the second kind of waste. Although he can achieve immortality in the ordinary sense by relying on Bai Zetsu, there is still a huge gap with the eternal life he pursues. difference.

Well, let’s go to Konoha and take a look.

If there is something that can be done, at worst, just change another place to continue doing research. Today, Konoha does not have two troublesome guys, the Third Generation and Danzo, and the Fifth Generation does not seem to be the kind of idiot who doesn't understand betrayal. Maybe, go back Still a good thing.

Orochimaru has been longing for Konoha's current research department for a long time. According to rumors, the research equipment and progress there have far exceeded the average level of the shinobi world. They are not at the same level as the circulating goods and self-developed research equipment here. thing.

If the situation is not right
It's not a big problem. He can just die in front of Hinata Yuzuru, and then his soul will be resurrected and live a second life. Who knows, he may be able to fake his death and escape, change his name, and thus escape from Konoha's pursuit.

The only question is whether Hinata Yuzuru knows and can restrain his own life-saving means?

Orochimaru was silent for a long time, struggling between going or not, turning himself in or running away, until finally, the phone on the table suddenly rang. A photo was sent to him.

He opened it and his expression changed slightly.

A huge basin appeared before our eyes. The broken meteorite debris piled up into a messy stone mountain, and the upside-down collapsed trees
“Please use good judgment.”

There was no signature this time, but it was obvious from the number that this was also sent by Hinata Yuzuru.

Orochimaru only needed to take a glance to see the familiar broken remains of Rashomon. As a veteran ninja, he could roughly judge what happened on the original battlefield from the traces on the battlefield.

As expected, these are traces of a battle between Hyuga Yuzuru and a powerful ninja. Judging from the meteorite-like broken marks, the opponent is most likely Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki organization who was famous in the ninja world at the Chunin Examination that day.

Only the opponent could launch such a terrifying attack.

But Hinata Yuzuru can send a text message at this moment to tell himself not to do stupid things
understood.

Orochimaru's thoughts suddenly became clear.

He walked out of the laboratory and read a recent newspaper. As expected, he saw news about a sudden earthquake in a newspaper from the Sand Country.

Just the aftermath of the battle caused a large-scale earthquake, and the news of the falling meteor published in the newspaper made Orochimaru sneer.

meteor?

If a meteorite that big really fell from outer space, the planet would be smashed to pieces.

A bunch of ignorant idiots.

Orochimaru was no longer in the mood to do research, so he stopped what he was doing and started packing up.

If nothing unexpected
This time, it's more likely to be dangerous.

But Orochimaru's expression didn't seem to be that gloomy. Instead, he chuckled a few times, licked his lips with his slender tongue, and looked very happy.

It's impossible to run away, so it seems like it's not bad to just stay in Konoha's detention center and make amends for your crime and make up for your loss?
The news of Orochimaru's return to Konoha was only known within a very small circle of people.

After arriving in Konoha, he and his group of ninjas were escorted by Uchiha Itachi himself to the temporary prison at the Root, awaiting judgment.

Orochimaru acted very calmly, and seeing how calm he was, his subordinates also calmly accepted Konoha's arrangement and were all sent to the single room of the Root. Orochimaru deserved it, but the rest of his subordinates were more or less unprovoked.

But even so, it still caused quite a stir within Konoha.

A small number of ninjas believed that for the mistakes Orochimaru had made, he should be sentenced to death like Danzo.

They didn't know that Danzo still had a head left, and was locked up with Hidan, and was now "forced" to make amends for his crime.

There are also some ninjas who believe that Orochimaru was once the pride of Konoha, and that Danzo and the Third Generation could not escape the blame for the mistakes made by Konoha, and they could only be regarded as accomplices and should be dealt with leniently.

After all, the other party had shed blood for Konoha. It is not known whether he shed tears or not, but it is obvious that he had made contributions to Konoha.

The first human experiment conducted by Konoha was approved by the Third Hokage, and the subsequent private human experiments were conducted by the Root, who provided support and cleared the way for Orochimaru. In any case, he could not be considered the "evil chief".

Some people also believe that the current death penalty clauses in Konoha were only established after Orochimaru's defection. It is slightly inappropriate in terms of the rule of law to use the sword of the current dynasty to kill the officials of the previous dynasty.

Even Hyuga Yuzuru had never thought that the matter of Orochimaru would actually involve the current rule of law and rule of man in Konoha, but there is no doubt that this matter will be of great help in promoting Konoha's judicial process, so he secretly guided and encouraged it and did not stop the discussion of this matter.

After a long week of intense meetings and discussions, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice finally made the decision regarding Orochimaru, leaving it to Yuzuru Hyuga to decide.

First of all, the fact of Orochimaru's defection has been established, and he participated in human experiments as an accomplice and murdered his colleagues. According to the Konoha practice before the legislation, he should be handed over to the Torture Department and imprisoned until death.

However, since the other party had made many major contributions during the Konoha War, and now has strong scientific research capabilities that can contribute to Konoha, and has surrendered himself after persuasion, it seems that the other party has been very cooperative. It is up to the Hokage to decide whether to impose life imprisonment or to serve his sentence outside prison as a reward for meritorious service.

Orochimaru had no idea how much chaos he had caused. In fact, although he appeared to be very calm during this period, his heart suddenly began to beat faster as time went by.

This is completely different from the meeting he imagined, right?

Why has he been locked up without even seeing Hinata Yuzuru?

Until he was released, he still felt a little confused, but as expected of Orochimaru, he still looked calm and composed until he was finally escorted to the Hokage Building with handcuffs on his hands to meet Hinata Yuzuru.

"Long time no see, Orochimaru."

Hinata Yuzuru sat in the office, looking at Orochimaru who was smiling in front of him, sizing him up and down.

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Godage, I have long heard of your name. I just didn't expect that our meeting would be in this way."

He raised his hands and shook the shackles on his hands. For him, these things were more of a formality than a practical significance, but he was also happy to use this method to show his cooperation.

Hinata Yuzuru calmly announced the sentence on Orochimaru: "This is the punishment discussed by the ninjas at the meeting. I have sorted it out and issued the final sentence. You can take a look and see if you can accept it."

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows slightly, and took the document. As he read it, his expression changed slightly, because this document contained many suggestions and arguments put forward by ninjas, and the identities of these ninjas were unknown.
Tsunade, Jiraiya, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Not surprisingly, these people were relatively moderate members of the "life sentence faction", who believed that it would be better to give Orochimaru a chance to reform himself and make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence.

Hinata Yuzuru said calmly: "Senior Jiraiya and Senior Tsunade are now the backbone of Konoha. Their opinions play a significant role in my life."

"Final verdict. Five hundred and sixty-seven years in prison, to be served outside prison."

Orochimaru looked up with an inexplicable look in his eyes: "What exactly do you want me to do?"

"It's very simple. From today on, you need to wear electronic anklets during your sentence and you are not allowed to leave the Konoha Shinkyo area. If you violate the regulations, you will be thrown into prison for hundreds of years. By the way, you can't change your body in prison, so you'd better pray that your body can hold up until you are released.

During this period, you need to actively make meritorious contributions. If you can make outstanding contributions, your sentence may be shortened appropriately. However, even if you are released after serving your sentence, you will be deprived of your political rights for life."

Yuzuru Hinata said a long list of conditions, but Orochimaru just nodded indifferently. He smiled faintly: "My research direction."

"Assigned by me."

After Hinata Yuzuru finished speaking, a light smile of unknown meaning appeared on his face.

He stood up and said, "Before you start working, let me ask you to meet an old friend."

Orochimaru said, "Old friend?"

"Danzo, I thought you two had a very good relationship." Hinata Yuzuru said with a smile and took a step forward.

But Orochimaru looked puzzled - Danzo is still alive! ?
