Chapter 217 Exposed
("He definitely has some supernatural feelings for you.

(“Although I don’t have much contact with this pervert, I can be 10,000% sure.

(“Orochimaru has never offered this kind of price to anyone before.”)
In his mind, Gui Deng Shuiyue commented.

Uchiha Sasuke stood there blankly.

He also knew what the reincarnation of the dead meant to Orochimaru.

It doesn’t matter whether you accept it or not.

The fact that the other party offered such a price was enough to surprise Sasuke.

The sincerity of the other party has indeed greatly exceeded my expectations.

After a while, Uchiha Sasuke finally opened his mouth.

But what he responded to was something else:
“I am indeed very happy after coming to you.

("Shut up! If you don't make it clear now, what are you waiting for?!")
Uchiha Sasuke wasn't even ready to say anything. However, when Shui Yue stopped him like this, he became even more ruthless.

Uchiha Sasuke sneered and said:

“In the days that followed, I could only be like a dark mouse with nothing, huddled in the shadows.

"Did you say that with your mouth?"

"You're smart. Smarter than most ninjas I've ever met.

Orochimaru wanted to say something more.

"As for the way you handle things, I'm too lazy to interfere, and I won't ask you to change anything for me.

“My concept of good and evil will never change.

"There is no direct connection between the two things 'You're good to me' and 'You're an asshole'.

"You came up and asked me, 'Am I a bad person?' I didn't understand it at first, but now I gradually understand.

("Brother Sasuke, your mental state really shows no internal friction at all.")
In his mind, Gui Deng Shui Yue sighed in surprise.

Afraid of touching Orochimaru's reverse scales, he immediately spoke urgently to stop him.

"You taught me Ninjutsu carefully, without any secrets, and worked hard to help me improve my strength. This is something I have personally experienced and can see with my own eyes every day.

“He looked at the world, and everyone relied on his own body and walked in the sun.

("Brother Sasuke, this man is indeed a bitch. You can scold him all you want, but this matter has been his pursuit for half his life. Please stop saying a few words!")
In his mind, Gui Deng Shui Yue became anxious instantly.

"No, Sasuke. If you promise me, I will never do anything to hurt you."

Hearing Sasuke say this, Orochimaru's eyes lit up and he almost burst out laughing.

"Let's just talk about it one by one. When will your evil deeds happen to me, when will our fate be over?"

"Whatever you say!"

"No! That's not what you said!"

It was such a complicated matter, but this person explained it clearly in just a few words.

"As cell technology continues to evolve"

"For a ninjutsu like this, after the first use, the ninja will completely abandon everything about himself.

"I'm not completely confused about how you've treated me these days."

He poured out all his opinions all along:

“Being free and having all your wishes come true, although it’s not that exaggerated, it’s almost the same.

The thing that he was most proud of all this time was said by Sasuke to be worthless. Orochimaru said angrily:

"But."

"Then repeat the process again, and again, and again."

"But, on the other hand, you have killed people and done all kinds of evil things. This is all objective fact that has happened, isn't it?

"Isn't this kind of eternal life too sad?"

Uchiha Sasuke interrupted the other party directly and continued:
"In fact, I don't think your 'reincarnation without corpse' is anything special at all!
“I gave up everything I had, completely attached myself to another body, stole the life force of others, and took it as my own.

Then, Sasuke continued:

Only to hear Sasuke continue:
"But I'm sorry, I've thought about this before.

Uchiha Sasuke spread his hands, and the Kusanagi sword at his waist was dangling in the air.

("Not entirely. I have indeed pondered this matter over and over again for quite some time.")
In his mind, Uchiha Sasuke took the time to respond.

On the opposite side, when Orochimaru heard Sasuke speak like this, Orochimaru's half-smiling face suddenly froze.

“But he can only look at everyone he meets in the world with the mood of an eternal thief.

Orochimaru said sincerely, wanting to continue fighting for it.

"This question is indeed the core element of reaching the invitation. You want to confuse me on this matter."

"In that case, it's probably only a matter of time before you offend me. How about eternal life?"

Uchiha Sasuke once again interrupted the opponent rudely and said decisively:

"All in all, this kind of ninjutsu that steals other people's lives. In my eyes, it's worse than garbage."

Orochimaru was stunned, and he roughly understood the difference between him and Sasuke.

After a while, he sighed leisurely and said:
“In order to pursue eternal life and great truth, something always needs to be sacrificed.”

Orochimaru's voice was hoarse and he patiently explained to Sasuke:
“Just like a flower blooming, it is destined to need nourishment.

“And if humans want to grow taller, they must eat meat.

"In this world, some people can 'grow taller'.

"And for some people, being eaten is the highest honor they can achieve in their humble lives."

"This is the biggest difference between you and me."

Uchiha Sasuke knew what Orochimaru wanted to say and immediately replied:
“I’m not trying to say that all people are created equal and there is no level of human life.

“I believe that there is indeed a huge gap between people.

"I also believe in the existence of genius. Many times, this gap is so huge that it cannot be bridged no matter what.

“I can even accept that from the day they are born, some people are destined to work as cattle and horses for their entire lives.

"but!"

Uchiha Sasuke changed the subject, stared directly into Orochimaru's eyes, and said word by word:

“Human life is at stake.

“When it comes to human life, I think it’s better to be more cautious.

“Even if they are ruma, there are things in this world that make them feel worth living.

"They also have their own love and joy, and they have enough reasons to want to continue living!
"Why are you judging the value for them?!"

Speaking of this, Uchiha Sasuke's eyes widened and his voice dropped to freezing point:
"The kind of guy who casually and aloofly decides the fate of others, regardless of the so-called confidence behind him.

“Whether it’s pursuing the righteousness of the village or pursuing some bullshit truth.

“In my opinion, they are all bastards who deserve to be killed equally.

"Sooner or later, they should also taste the price!"

Orochimaru's expression darkened.

He knew that the difference between the young man in front of him and himself was too low.

Unlike the confused children he had encountered before, the Uchiha Sasuke in front of him had already formed a solid core of himself.

But this core has never been seen before.

It is different from the "Will of Fire" and incompatible with my own ideas.

It is really worth looking forward to how he will grow up in the future.

After a long silence, Orochimaru sighed slowly and said:
"Why don't I tell you a story. About why I insisted on attacking Konoha."

Now that the matter has come to this, Orochimaru just wants to be sincere and make a final effort.

"Then just wait a moment, I'll move a chair first.

"Who knows how much longer you're going to have to talk."

Uchiha Sasuke was a little annoyed.

Originally, he didn't want to talk anymore, but the other party mentioned the "Konoha Collapse Plan" again.

After thinking about it, it would be more compromise to move a stool.

Sasuke responded to the other party while walking straight into the inner room behind Orochimaru.

"Wait! Wait a minute."

On the other side, Orochimaru's expression changed when he saw Sasuke suddenly walking towards the house. Before he could stop him, Sasuke had already walked into the house. Entering the house, what hit you was the smell of rotting corpses mixed with the smell of potion.

Turning his head to look, he saw the corpse lying there quietly on the operating table.

("Is this Yakushi Kabuto?")
In his mind, Gui Deng Shui Yue was also inevitably shocked.

Even though there was not a day that went by that he didn't look forward to Yaoshi Kabuto's death, seeing this tragic scene, he couldn't help but feel a burst of physiological retching.

Uchiha Sasuke's face was as iron as stone, his face was gloomy, and he said nothing.

Just silently moved a chair out.

"Tell me. Don't you want to tell a story?"

Back in the hall, Uchiha Sasuke placed a chair in front of Orochimaru, leaned on the back of the chair casually, as if he didn't see anything, and said calmly to Orochimaru.

"it is good"

Orochimaru's face moved slightly, but he said nothing more. After regaining his composure, he slowly said while recalling:
"The next generation should look at the previous generation. They will always look at the next generation more clearly than the previous generation, and even look at themselves more clearly than the previous generation."

After a pause, Orochimaru cleared his throat and continued:
"The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, my old mentor, twenty years ago, I stopped trying to understand him, figure him out, and even try to be him all the time."

"Then you kill him."

Uchiha Sasuke interjected.

Orochimaru's train of thought was interrupted, and he wanted to get angry, but in the end he held back his temper and continued to speak slowly:
"When I was a child, Hiruzen Sarutobi became the third Hokage.

"As Hokage, this man has been delusional from the beginning to the end, and wants to continue to follow the established path drawn up by his own teacher, the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama.

"To inherit and copy the distant dream of 'Konoha hegemony, shocking the ninja world, and maintaining peace'.

"However, in terms of his specific performance, Sarutobi Hiruzen, a naive guy, is just an ideal politician imprisoned by the falsehood of 'peace'.

"To put it bluntly, a stupid guy.

“In contrast, Shimura Danzo is the man who truly inherited everything from Senju Tobirama.

"As a disciple of Tobirama, Danzo has a deep understanding of what a threat is, how to deal with potential threats, and how to safeguard Konoha's rights.

"If it weren't for Danzo's existence, Konoha's status would have begun to decline thirty years ago."

"Oh? Is that how you understand it?"

Hearing Orochimaru speak so highly of Shimura Danzo, who destroyed the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Sasuke laughed angrily and couldn't help but sarcastically asked.

"Yes."

As if he didn't hear the sarcasm in Sasuke's tone at all, Orochimaru nodded silently and continued:
"However, it was only after the Second Ninja War that I began to understand all of this.

“In the beginning, as disciples of Hiruzen Sarutobi, we naturally inherited his ideas.

"However, once faced with the impact of reality, anyone will immediately discover how fragile and even ridiculous the ideas inherited from Sarutobi Hiruzen are.

"During the Second Ninja War, the deaths of Nezuki and Kato Dan were extremely important milestones in life for us, the so-called 'Konoha Sannin'.

“To some extent, this incident directly changed the lives of the three of us. From then on, each of us embarked on a different path.

"After the battle, the three of us unanimously chose to decisively abandon Sarutobi's philosophy.

"Tsunade suffered from hemophobia. She hated war and left Konoha by escaping.

"Jiraiya also believes that peace cannot be obtained by maintaining the village.

"He embarked on the journey alone, but he put his lifelong ideals into the distant prophecy of a 'Holy Land'."

Uchiha Sasuke's heart moved, and a strange emotion stirred in his heart.

The prophecy spoken by Orochimaru was now in front of him, sitting peacefully on this chair.

"but me."

Orochimaru continued:

"I finally realized that life and peace are too fragile. Destruction and war are inevitable, while peace and prosperity are destined to be short-lived.

“Only eternal life, only eternal life!

"Only by realizing the eternity of life can the hatred and fear caused by death be dispelled."

Speaking of this, Orochimaru became a little excited, and he continued:

"At that time, I was the only one who was willing to stay in that village. New results were constantly obtained. However, when I told Hiruzen Sarutobi about the precious experimental results, he..."

Orochimaru gritted his teeth, thinking about it now, still with strong hatred:
"He regards me as a heretic!"

Orochimaru took a deep breath and regained his composure again:

"He kicked me out and let me wander in the ninja world.

"He doesn't believe I can do it. With his narrow vision and stupid personality, he will never be able to understand the power of eternal life.

"He will not even understand what kind of eternal peace this road will lead to behind eternal life!"

"So, the reason you chose to attack Konoha was because you wanted to prove to him that you were right?"

Uchiha Sasuke looked calmly, analyzing the other party's motives, and asked Orochimaru.

"Yes. After two reincarnations, I have completely proven that this path exists and is correct!"

An evil shadow flashed across Orochimaru's face, and he said in a hoarse voice:

"I, Orochimaru, an immortal who has completely dissolved time. I decided to use my immortal existence to prove to my most respected teacher before he passed away——

"My path to eternal life completely trumps his decadent and stupid concept of 'Konoha Hegemony and Peace'!
"And his original choice about the Fourth Hokage was a huge mistake!"

Orochimaru panted violently, mentioning it again after many years, he still couldn't hide his deep hatred for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In that duel on the rooftop, the Third Hokage not only failed to recognize himself, but actually sealed his hands again.

"It seems that you really love that old man, the Third Hokage, very deeply."

After a long silence, Uchiha Sasuke sneered and gave his own response.

He spread his legs and leaned casually on the back of the chair, his eyes full of teasing.

Opposite him, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Orochimaru's face.

But soon, Orochimaru regained his gentle expression and began to persuade:

"So if we"

"Does the justice of the goal mean that all unscrupulous evil deeds can be carried out in the process?!"

Uchiha Sasuke interrupted Orochimaru's words irritably.

But soon, he calmed down again, took a deep breath and said:
"Mr. Orochimaru, what you told me today has made me think more deeply about the nature of peace.

"Indeed, very inspiring."

Just as Orochimaru was about to open his mouth, Sasuke immediately interrupted forcefully:
"but!
"I'm a little tired. There is too much information and it will take some time to digest. If you have any questions, we can talk about it later."

Uchiha Sasuke pointed to his head, indicating that it was overloaded.

He stood up, turned around and left.

Before leaving, he noticed the chair under him, and the image of the pharmacist carrying the corpse flashed through his mind.

Uchiha Sasuke patted the back of the chair and said:
"Please move this chair back by yourself.

"Goodbye."

After saying that, Sasuke walked straight towards the main entrance of the hall.

However, after walking a few steps, Orochimaru's angry voice suddenly sounded behind him:
"why?"

"what why?"

Uchiha Sasuke kept walking and responded.

"Jiraiya, that idiot, has been weaker than me in every aspect ever since he was a kid!

"In your opinion, how am I worse than him?"

Orochimaru asked loudly with an angry voice.

Uchiha Sasuke's heart suddenly stopped, and he immediately stopped facing the door.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Sasuke forced himself to calm down and responded calmly.

"I mean"

Orochimaru's voice became low and resentful, and in a hoarse voice, he said slowly:
"You, and Hinata Neji are all undercover agents sent by Konoha to keep an eye on me.

"In this case, is it clear enough?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke turned around suddenly.

Behind him, Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils were staring at him coldly.

Flashing cold eyes like a poisonous snake.
