Hanyu felt something was wrong.
In his memory, compared to the age and timing when Jiraiya came into contact with Mt. Myoboku, Orochimaru came into contact with Ryuchi Cave much later. And it did not seem that Ryuchi Cave was shyly luring him. Instead, it was Orochimaru, a scientist and researcher, who discovered clues about Ryuchi Cave after collecting a lot of information, and finally spent a lot of time to find that secret place.
Compared with the current situation, this is the typical difference between a girl chasing a boy and a boy chasing a girl, and the gap is quite large.
So in this situation, either there is something wrong with Hanyu's memory and he remembered it wrong, or the world is quietly changing... Of course, no matter which situation it is, it is normal and acceptable.
No matter what Hanyu's abilities are, he has a place in this ninja world and in this world. Many things have happened and are happening around him, so this change is inevitable... Imagine the original Ninja World War, would there be a Battle of Frostfield, would the Two-Tails Jinchuriki die?
Among the three secret realms, the Big Toad Immortal and the White Snake Immortal are actually a little mysterious because they have lived for too long. And compared to the contract between the slugs and the Senju clan, Myoboku Mountain and Ryuchi Cave have always been famous for accepting trials from foreign ninjas. Myoboku Mountain has countless toads that were petrified due to failure in learning immortal arts, and in Ryuchi Cave... God knows how many people those snakes have eaten.
Moreover, compared to the Wet Bone Forest and Myoboku Mountain, the color of Ryuchi Cave is closer to black and gray. The nature of the former two should be regarded as neutral lawful and neutral goodwill, while the latter is neutral chaotic or even neutral evil.
The symbolic meaning of snakes is consistent. Whether it is a ninja snake or a magic snake, it has always represented images of cleverness, insidiousness, cunning selfishness, extremism, etc.
Therefore, Hanyu didn't always stab the "messenger" of Ryuchi to death just because he liked to eat snake meat. He was just considering whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to let Orochimaru, at this age, come into contact with Ryuchi too early.
This consideration took half a month.
Then, Hanyu realized that there was a tough part in Orochimaru's character that was not easily influenced by the outside world. The formation of ordinary people's values and personality would probably not be determined until the age of 20, but ninjas were different, and ninjas like Orochimaru and Jiraiya were even more different.
Well, there is no need to mention Tsunade here. After all, the original Tsunade... there is still some gap.
Therefore, Orochimaru will not become a snake due to the influence of Ryuchi Cave, because he is originally a snake.
Compared to the thousands of owls sent out to recruit a magic student, although only fifteen snakes appeared in the past half month, this is enough to represent the "sincerity" of Ryuchi.
During this period of time, the sculpture project of the Valley of the End has started as scheduled and is now on track. The craftsmen of Konoha Village are now busy trimming the feet of the statue of the First Hokage.
On the sixteenth day, Hanyu did not kill the big snake that appeared at noon... It was only because he figured out the cause and effect. As time went by, the size of the snakes that appeared became bigger and bigger, but the quality of their meat continued to decline and the taste became more and more old. It had nothing to do with that.
Since Hanyu had put away his butcher knife, Orochimaru finally got to see what the snake that appeared every day was going to do after it showed up. The snake stopped a few steps away from Orochimaru, then coiled up its body, raised its head, and while swallowing its tongue, its eyes stared closely at Orochimaru's eyes.
"This is... a signal for me to follow it."
Although he used a questioning sentence, Orochimaru's tone when he said this was very firm... This was something he had already determined.
However, when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Before Hanyu's vigilance and appetite settle down, he can only wait silently... Although Orochimaru also thinks that snake meat tastes good, it is easy to get sick of it if you eat too much.
Hanyu glanced at this guy and thought to himself, you are indeed a snake tonguer, how come I didn't hear anything.
"Don't worry about it now. Let's talk about it after we eat."
Hanyu said so, and Orochimaru nodded. There was really no need to rush, because it was his and it couldn't escape. As for the big snake that was the messenger, it would not have any objection to the waiting, after all, it was thankful that it was not made into snake soup.
Fate is such a complicated thing. This snake is much luckier than its predecessors.
It was said that he was going to eat, but Hanyu calculated the time, and then he used the psychic technique to summon a slug, and along with the slug, there appeared a sealed lunch box, which contained both medicine and food.
It is something used to treat Hanyu's injuries.
A slug like him can only make a living by taking delivery orders after the war.
Then the little slug climbed onto Hanyu's shoulder, and then slowly released the medical chakra stored in its body towards Hanyu... According to the rules, from today onwards, Hanyu will be most severely eroded every month, so the little girl is still very kind, but she can't help being a bit tsundere.
The slug has no eyes, but its tentacles would occasionally turn towards the snake next to Orochimaru, and then again. After a short while, the snake, which was much larger than the little slug, lowered its head again and again, and finally it didn't even dare to spit out its tongue.
Snakes eat toads, toads eat slugs, so the question is, what do slugs eat?
"Come on, Orochimaru, I'll go with you. Anyway, there's no need to keep an eye on this place all the time. It's not very reassuring if you act alone. After all, if it were in another movie, you wouldn't even be able to beat Ishido Ritsuka right now."
Hanyu ate everything that the slug brought, then adjusted the long sword behind him, stood up and spoke.
At this time, although Hanyu's injuries have not recovered and his chakra is only 60% of the normal level, however... no ninja will not make any progress after experiencing a great battle. Experience is not given in vain, and blood is not shed in vain, especially for someone like Hanyu.
So he was not too worried about his own safety.
Orochimaru nodded, and at this moment he even seemed a little obedient... The Third Hokage had told him not to hang out with strange little snakes when his parents were not at home.
Then the snake unfolded its coiled body, moved its spine, and began to move in a certain direction, and Orochimaru immediately followed behind the snake.
Hanyu first walked up to the chief craftsman, gave him a brief explanation, and then left.
The chief craftsman pursed his lips and looked at Orochimaru who had not yet walked away. He didn't understand what the two ninjas were doing, but there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes, as if he had lost something beautiful.
Isn't that exactly the case?
