The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

"What's there to object to? After all, I'm also half a researcher, and I know the painful feeling of wanting to do something but being restricted everywhere." Cang Si answered as a matter of course.

"Haha, interesting. So, Mr. Cang Si, will you go and complain?" With a chuckle, Orochimaru looked at Cang Si again and asked with interest.

"I'm not familiar with the Konoha high-level officials." Cang Si spread his hands and replied.

After hearing Souji's answer, Orochimaru was stunned.

How should I put it, this answer is really spiritual.

He didn't explicitly say that he wouldn't file a complaint, which would give people an excuse to accuse him of being in cahoots with Orochimaru and not reporting the crime.

He didn't say that he would file a complaint and then offend Orochimaru. ..

As for how to understand this sentence specifically, it all depends on the two people involved, Aoi and Orochimaru.

"Not familiar with each other? Well, then, Mr. Souji, let me tell you the second purpose of my visit to you tonight. Do you want to leave Konoha with me?" Orochimaru asked Souji with a serious expression.

Chapter 297 Cang Si's Gift

Do you want to leave Konoha with me?

With whom?

Follow Orochimaru!

Cang Si was almost scared to death by Orochimaru's words. It was only because he was Uncle Snake now, but if Orochimaru became Aunt Snake in the future and said this to Cang Si again.

Cang Si promised that he would stay as far away from Orochimaru as possible!

This makes it seem like they are about to elope.

Cang Si doesn't have such strange special hobbies. He is a man and likes women. He is really not interested in eloping with a man!

He comes from a wealthy family and has just become the clan's punishment elder. He has just completed collecting the clan's blood that he has wanted to collect for many years.

He must be crazy to abandon everything and elope with Orochimaru. Ugh, to defect from Konoha with Orochimaru!

But to be honest, Cang Si really didn't expect that Orochimaru would specially invite him to defect to Konoha before leaving.

At the same time, I was a little touched. Well, to be honest, I was just a little touched.

As we all know, Orochimaru usually abandons people who are of no use to him.

It is hard to imagine that someone would reveal his true feelings to others before defecting, and then try to drag someone like him, who is unlikely to follow him, to leave with him.

From this, it can be seen that Souji should have a very high status in Orochimaru's mind.

"Lord Orochimaru, I think you should know that my identity is too complicated to leave Konoha with you.

Besides, I still have ties to this place, and I can't abandon it."

If you treat me with sincerity, I will tell you the truth. Cang Si did not say anything roundabout and directly expressed his attitude.

If he gave an unclear answer to such a question, it would not only show that he was not firm in his stance, but also be disrespectful to Orochimaru.

Cang Si has always been easy to talk to towards those who have helped him.

If Orochimaru had not led him into the door of science, even if he collected the blood of all the Hyuga clan, he would not be able to extract genetic fragments from it.

Not to mention that before this, Souji also relied on Orochimaru's technology to obtain enough benefits from the Kaguya clan.

"Hehe, really? I respect your choice, Mr. Cang Si, although I have already anticipated that there is a high probability that it will not succeed." Orochimaru said with a smile.

From these words, there was no trace of disappointment in Orochimaru's voice. Perhaps, as he said, he had already imagined such an ending.

For a moment, Cang Si didn't know how to continue the conversation and could only respond with silence.

Just like that, after the two of them sat quietly for a while, Orochimaru stood up and prepared to leave.

"Then, Mr. Souji, I will leave Konoha within a few days. I hope that when we meet again next time, we will not be enemies." Having made up his mind, Orochimaru has completely restrained his emotions.

Now he has become the Orochimaru who was indifferent to everything in the past.

This made Cang Si wonder for a moment whether he had seen it wrong just now. Was the person with a melancholy look and a reluctance to leave the village actually Orochimaru?

"Wait, Lord Orochimaru, since you have decided to leave Konoha, I will give you a gift before you leave." Looking at Orochimaru who had turned around and was about to leave, Cang Si suddenly thought of something and spoke hurriedly.

"Oh? Interesting. Is there a farewell gift?" Turning back, Orochimaru said with an interested look.

To be honest, Orochimaru was really surprised at this moment. Could it be that Souji would give him a gift?

Orochimaru couldn't help but start to feel curious about Souji's so-called gift.

As for what the specific gift would be, Orochimaru really couldn't guess, because this matter itself was beyond Orochimaru's expectations.

If he can guess the unexpected things, then there must be something fishy!

If he can guess this, then what science does he believe in? He should just follow Feidan and convert to the evil cult.

"Lord Orochimaru, please wait a moment."

After saying this, Cang Si turned around and went back into the room.

It is said that the waiting time is long, but Orochimaru does not think so. He is just full of anticipation and curiosity.

He came to see Cang Si tonight, but he did not inform Cang Si in advance. Even this time he came here just on a whim.

If that's the case, then it means that the gift that Cang Si prepared for him should have been prepared a long time ago.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that on the eve of his leaving Konoha, Cang Si actually prepared a gift for him in advance?

Based on the above reasons, Orochimaru guessed that the gift that Souji prepared for him should be related to his leaving Konoha!

About three or five minutes after Cang Si left, he came back again, but when he came back, he was holding a scroll in his hand.

"Snapped"

Cang Si threw the scroll in the direction of Orochimaru, and he reached out and caught it steadily.

"What is this?" Orochimaru asked in confusion.

"Lord Orochimaru, you will know if you just open it and take a look." Cang Si smiled, but still did not directly tell the contents of the scroll.

After taking a deep look at Cang Si who had a smile on his face, Orochimaru slowly opened the scroll. What he saw were six big characters: Topographic Map of the Land of Fire!

After seeing these six big words, Orochimaru's pupils couldn't help but shrink, even though he hadn't read the content that followed.

It is perfectly normal for Orochimaru to behave like this.

You want to ask why?

Because he is preparing to defect!

Even though he has made all the preparations now, the Land of Fire can be said to be the country where Konoha's headquarters is located.

In the entire Land of Fire, except for Konoha Village, other places are also filled with ninjas of varying sizes and numbers.

These ninjas are also under the command of the Hokage.

It can be said that Orochimaru’s idea of ​​defecting is simple, but the difficulty of actually doing it is not small!

Souji remembered that in the original work, when Orochimaru defected, even the Third Hokage showed mercy to his former beloved disciple and allowed him to escape from his hands.

However, the subsequent pursuit from Konoha also caused Orochimaru to escape death several times.

If Orochimaru had not had extensive connections in Konoha over the years and had not had enough ninjas at his command, there would have been no way he would have left the Land of Fire alive.

But even so, Orochimaru was also seriously injured after escaping from the Land of Fire.

However, if after Orochimaru's defection, he was able to grasp the entire topographic map of the Land of Fire and had a clear understanding of the ninja deployment in every place.

Then his path to defection would definitely be much easier. At least the ending in the original book would be unlikely to happen again.

For the Hyuga clan, who have the convenience of the Byakugan, it is not a difficult task for them to record the entire topography of the Land of Fire as long as they spend a certain amount of time.

The "Fire Country Map" that Souji gave to Orochimaru now was the one he used his Byakugan to observe and draw when he had just graduated from the Ninja Academy and the four members of his team followed Jiraiya to perform an S-level mission.

Afterwards, Cang Si made several copies of it. The one in Orochimaru's hand was one of the copies made by Cang Si.

Cang Si doesn't guarantee that the map is 100% accurate, but he is confident that it is above 90% and there is absolutely no problem. ..

If such a "Topographic Map of the Land of Fire" were to fall into the hands of other ninja villages, it would definitely be a major disaster for the Land of Fire.

Even the Third Ninja World War, which was almost settled, might be triggered again because of this!

If this really happens, Cang Si might become a warmonger.

So, although Souji copied several copies of the "Fire Country Map", the one that actually slipped away from his hands and is in Orochimaru's hands now is only the first one!

Because Cang Si also knew that such an important thing cannot be given to anyone casually. Even if he had to give it, he could only give it to someone he trusted.

As for Orochimaru, well, although he harbored hatred towards the village after he left, he still couldn't let go of it in his heart.

He is a typical example of someone who says one thing but acts another. In this respect, he is somewhat similar to Cang Si.

This can be seen from the original work, when Orochimaru implemented Konoha's "collapse plan".

If he really wanted to plunge the Fire Nation into war, he would not have killed the Fourth Kazekage Rasa in advance.

After all, as long as the Fourth Kazekage Rasa is still alive, the Fire Nation will definitely fight with the Wind Nation. When other ninja villages see this situation, they will not be foolish enough to just stand by and watch.

By then, if you get involved and I get involved, I estimate that the Fourth Ninja World War would have started earlier even if there was no pressure from the Akatsuki organization.

The fact that Orochimaru killed the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, who had always had ill intentions towards Konoha, proved that he had not completely let go of his feelings for Konoha.

Also, during the Fourth Ninja World War in the original work, Orochimaru also stood on the side of Konoha and made great contributions to the United Ninja Forces.

Otherwise, without the help of Orochimaru and the Four Impure World Hokage, the Allied Ninja Forces would have been defeated by Obito and Uchiha Madara long ago.

Really, in the Fourth Ninja World War, if we talk about performance, Orochimaru is definitely at the VP level.

In Cangsi's opinion, Orochimaru is just like a child who is having a tantrum. It's my own things, and I want to smash them myself. As for others who have the same idea, I will kill you first!

Therefore, Souji can still trust Orochimaru, who has complicated feelings towards Konoha, and he will not use this "Fire Country Map" indiscriminately.

It just makes it easier and safer for Orochimaru to travel to Konoha in the future.

As for whether Orochimaru will come back to Konoha from time to time in the future, that is not something that Cang Si should care about.

Anyway, Orochimaru can be considered as half ally + half teacher of Souji.

And such a map is exactly what Orochimaru needs most at the moment, nothing else!

"Mr. Cang Si, you really gave me an incredible 'gift'. I didn't expect you had such a good thing in your hand." After sticking out his long tongue and licking his lips, Orochimaru said excitedly.

After looking at the map, Orochimaru compared it with his memories and found that it was exactly the same as what he knew.

No, it should be said that the map that Cang Si gave him was more detailed than what he remembered!

It can be said that he was very satisfied with the gift given to him by Cang Si!

He had already completed all the preparations for his defection, and all he lacked was a map like this. With this map, Orochimaru felt more confident about his defection plan.

Originally he had planned to break out even with serious injuries, but now, let alone serious injuries, he estimated that he would not even be able to survive with minor injuries.

With such a map, not to mention a Kage-level warrior like him who defected, even a Jonin could succeed.

"Lord Orochimaru, this is just a small gift from me. I hope you are satisfied." Cang Si said with a nonchalant smile.

At this point, Cang Si felt that he had done his best. After all, Orochimaru had helped him so many times over the years, and this time he could just repay him.

This is Cang Si's temper. He repays kindness with kindness and repays hatred with hatred. He still remembers the kindness of Orochimaru in guiding him in scientific research.

Chapter 298 Orochimaru defected!

Then, under Cang Si's gaze, Orochimaru opened his mouth and solemnly swallowed the scroll given to him by Cang Si into his stomach.

It was just like swallowing the scroll containing 200 million funds into his stomach just now.

As for Orochimaru's hobby, Cangsi really couldn't praise it, but it was other people's business, so Cangsi couldn't interrupt and say anything more.

Originally, Cang Si thought that Orochimaru was going to leave after accepting his gift.

However, what he didn't expect was that Orochimaru then took out two wet scrolls filled with gastric juice from his mouth.

"Mr. Cang Si, since you said that this is a farewell gift to me, then I will also give you a gift as a return gift." Orochimaru said to Cang Si with a smile.

Then, Orochimaru threw the two scrolls over, and when the two scrolls were in the air, gastric juice fell down.

This made Cang Si's scalp tingle. After all, no matter what, Cang Si, who was born into the main family of the Hyuga clan, still had a little bit of mysophobia.

However, due to the etiquette of the Hyuga clan, he had no choice but to reach out and take the two scrolls.

His mind raced, and after considering many things, Cang Si suppressed his nausea, raised his hand, and took the two scrolls.
