68

Listening to Orochimaru's emotion, Uchiha Tatsumi nodded.

"No one is immortal, right?"

"Yes. Nothing is eternal. Even the existence of Sage of Six-Paths does not disappear. In the long river of history." Orochimaru sighed.

"Aging, and then dying without leaving a trace, life is really an empty thing. Now, just two 10 years old, I already feel this thing deeply." Orochimaru said.

"Tatsumi, what do you think of life." Orochimaru squinted golden's snake eyes and asked suddenly.

"What's wrong, did something happen?" Uchiha Tatsumi not at all answered this question directly.

In his opinion, Orochimaru's enthusiasm for him is indeed a bit too much.

How could a 10-year-old Jonin ask a 9-year-old little demon?

"haha...it seems to be abrupt when I asked." Orochimaru's rare slightly laughed, hoarse but magnetic voice.

"The first time I saw you, I had a strange feeling. I feel you are very different."

"I have observed you for a long time, I think you and this World Somewhat out of place. Although you are just a child, I feel that you have a mature soul. This is really interesting."

Uchiha Tatsumi became wary, Orochimaru is too keen.

"I feel like you are like a gust of wind that will eventually drive the entire world. So, I think your answer should be very interesting."

Orochimaru paused and continued," From the day my parents died and I became an orphan, I have been prepared for death."

"But even this kind of me, the moment I fight on the battlefield, I will Unconsciously feel that I am very small. This is completely different from the fighting during the ninja mission."

"Death, death is everywhere. You look at it, and you are surrounded by corpse. Some. It's the enemy, some are our people. Some are even yours and good friends."

"And what are the many sacrifices in exchange for? Only, a lot of experience and knowledge in war that's all."

"Life is really a boring thing."

Orochimaru poured himself another glass of wine.

"Yes. We are all ordinary persons. All people are pursuing happiness, but not everyone will get happiness." Uchiha Tatsumi nodded.

Orochimaru's eyes are calm and sad, repeating what Uchiha Tatsumi said, seeming to think of things that he has lost but can't find again.

After a moment of silence, Uchiha Tatsumi asked the dishes in front of him with his chopsticks.

"Is the war about to start?"

"Yes, some places have become a pot of porridge. The friction between Land-of-Rain and Land-of-Grass It's getting more and more serious." Orochimaru said

"Land-of-Wind and Land-of-Earth have already begun to garrison a large number of troops on the border. If they are allowed to continue to gather troops on the border, once the war breaks out, Konoha will immediately be at a disadvantage."

"Then what are you doing back in this case." Uchiha Tatsumi had already guessed, but he still squinted and asked.

Orochimaru laughed and said in a hoarse voice, "Third Hokage called us back. The Jonin mission book has come down."

He smiled and said, while using his hand Chopsticks picked up the peanuts in front of him and put them in his mouth.

"We are coming back as the leader of your group of students, Jonin." Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice.

"Leading the team of Jonin? But we are only in the fifth grade and have not graduated yet." Uchiha Tatsumi wondered.

"Yes. It's because you didn't graduate, so I want to take you to the mission now."

"Once the war begins, no one has time, just like a nanny. I'm going to take you. At that time, you children will go directly to battlefield."

"You Genins are the future of Konoha. That's why the Third-Kage old man took a lot of effort to bring us I'm calling back, I just want you to experience the First Stage war when there is no war."

"Once a war breaks out, the heaviest casualties in the war are always Genin."

"Because there is no psychological experience, no time to adapt. We made this experience just to let you see blood for the first time, not in a war. It is always good to have less death."

Uchiha Tatsumi nodded .

"So, Lord Orochimaru, are you my leader Jonin?"

"Yes. Tsunade originally ordered it. However, Uchiha's Clan Leader temporarily requested to replace it with It's me." Orochimaru said pointedly.

Uchiha Tatsumi did not speak.

Uchiha Mountain... but it is a big trouble.

"What about Teacher Tsunade?"

"After she went to the Teacher for evaluation, she broke the door of Hokage's Office."

". ..."

"In the end, Tsunade extorted two thousand taels from the Teacher and went straight to the casino."

"..... ."

"Oh, so that's how it is. In the eyes of Teacher Tsunade, I am worth two thousand taels." Uchiha Tatsumi touched his hair and said helplessly.

At this time, the boss in the tavern came up with a roast chicken.

"This is so sorry. It cost you money. You treat me so much better than Teacher Tsunade." Uchiha Tatsumi smiled sorry.

However, there is no trace of sorry in the hand, and I want to eat chicken when I pick up my chopsticks.

"Don't worry. This chicken is not for you." Orochimaru said, "These are for the distinguished guests."

"The distinguished guests?"

Orochimaru did not answer Uchiha Tatsumi's question, but silently bit his finger, "Summoning Justu!"

When the hand seal was completed, Orochimaru pressed the blood-stained hand to the ground, and then white The smoke came out, and when the smoke cleared, a small white snake that was one meter long.

It's just that the snake's head has two small purple horns.

"Here." Orochimaru picked up the chicken.

The little snake's mouth suddenly split, and then it became bigger and bigger, and it swallowed the whole chicken directly.

Cut, don't be afraid of choking!

After the white snake finished eating the chicken in its mouth, he showed a satisfied expression.

It was glanced at Orochimaru first, and then it looked at the side indifferent expression, regretting Uchiha Tatsumi who was roasting chicken.

But the look in his eyes is like Uchiha Tatsumi is just a piece of garbage in the wrong place.

"..."

"Is this little demon? It's too small." After a glance at Uchiha Tatsumi, the white snake began to speak.

Its tongue licked its lips and stared at Uchiha Tatsumi.

"It's okay, I need this scroll sooner or later." Orochimaru shake one's head, and said, "Give it to me."

The white snake didn't speak, but he still spit out something from his mouth. The rolled scroll.

"This is a summoning contract, write your name here in blood."

After pulling the scroll away, Orochimaru pointed to a blank space above.

"Summoning Justu's hand seal I think you should have been understood from the silly discipline of Jiraiya.

"From tomorrow, you will go out with me to perform the mission. This contract can be regarded as a gift from my Teacher. "

After writing, the snake swallowed the contract again, and then went back to Summoning Justu.

Then Orochimaru also dissipated into smoke.

Mom is Shadow Clone again.

Uchiha Tatsumi touched the corner of his eye and smiled.

However, his smile instantly solidified.

He suddenly thought of something terrifying.

Orochimaru left without paying...
