Chapter 498 Orochimaru's Sage Mode

Looking at the expressions on the faces of these little guys in front of him, Xia Le smiled and continued.

"People living in this world must understand what their most precious things are."

"Family, friendship, love."

"Dreams, freedom!"

"And so on, these are all things worth protecting with life."

"Instead of."

After a pause, Xia Le seemed to have some sarcasm.

"The so-called will of fire!"

Shisui sat there blankly. It was the first time he heard such a theory. He felt like he was exposed to another level of knowledge.

The fixed thinking formed by being a ninja was broken unceremoniously and stood up again.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Elder Xia Le said was right.

After teaming up with Nagato and others, Shisui deeply realized the birth of another thing.

It's not just a cold task, but there is friendship between companions. Everyone cherishes each other's existence and is willing to give their lives for each other.

And Xia Le's efforts to gain strength are also to protect this friendship.

"The Uchiha clan is not a race full of hatred and negative energy."

"The reason why we have more hatred is that we cherish the existence of family, friendship, love, and other emotions more than anyone else."

Xia Le sighed.

Shisui listened in a daze, and inexplicably agreed in his heart.

"Shisui, if there is an irreconcilable conflict between the village and the Uchiha clan, what will you choose?"

Xia Le suddenly asked.

"Village group, family?!"

Shisui was stunned and fell into deep thought.

Soon, his expression became tangled, and it was obvious that this choice was very difficult for him.

"Of course I choose the family, brother Shisui!"

"Nagato, Yahiko, and sister Konan are all our own people."

"They are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect us."

"But the village is using us and secretly fighting for power!"

"The village doesn't love us at all!"

Uchiha Itachi said in a baby voice.

Hearing the words of the three-year-old Itachi, Nagato and others who had been silent all the time laughed in surprise.

Konan stretched out his finger and scratched his little nose: "Our little Itachi has his own thoughts!"

"Humph, I am a ninja who has experienced life and death with you!"

"Don't look down on me!"

Itachi put his hands on his waist and said proudly.

This remark caused everyone to laugh again.

Xia Le sat there and nodded with satisfaction. The young Itachi's thoughts had obviously been corrected by him.

"I know how good my family is to me, and I cherish my friends around me."

"But let me take action against the village."

Shisui was in trouble.

Xia Le didn't say anything more.

He knew very well that for Shisui, a kind and responsible child, Konoha had already had considerable weight in his heart.

However, Konoha's actions this time had obviously angered Fugaku's self-esteem.

All his preparations were gone after Minato Namikaze succeeded as Hokage.

When this team returned to the village, no one knew what would happen inside the village.

It can be said that Fugaku, as the clan leader, was originally a neutral party, but with the revival and rise of Uchiha, his ambition gradually made him lean towards the hawkish faction.

This time, the Hokage turmoil has completely pushed him to the hawkish angle.

But even so, everyone still cannot rashly return to the village, because the war is indeed not over and is still going on.

Time passes.

Fugaku finally calmed down. Facing the established facts, he had no way.

Moreover, Namikaze Minato has sent an envoy to come. As long as they return to the village, the duties of the guard team can be handed over to Uchiha again.

This is also a compromise and transaction in a sense.

After all, if Uchiha controls the guard team, plus the Akatsuki team, the right to speak in Konoha is not small.

Although before, under the instruction of the third generation Hokage, the villagers were not very willing to send their children to the Akatsuki team, but this team has developed to this day and has strong strength.

Fugaku's anger was calmed, which also meant that the potential contradictions between the two sides were temporarily alleviated.

In Konoha.

The Anbu distributed in the Uchiha clan territory were withdrawn.

But the Uchiha elites led by Fugaku and others were still on the battlefield and could not return.

Obviously, this was specially considered by the Third Hokage.

Give Minato Namikaze some time to adapt and completely consolidate his position.

And at this time, a big thing happened in Konoha.

"What? Orochimaru defected?"

"How is this possible? He is the disciple of the Third Hokage and one of the famous Sannin!"

"Really? Such a big man, so suddenly?"

For a while, rumors spread in Konoha.

The Third Hokage, who was hiding at home, puffed on a cigarette, with an uncertain expression.

"While cooperating with me, your eldest disciple is also cooperating with Xia Le."

"But the cooperation with me is just to try the experiment of Wood Release Blood Limit, and I don't know about the cooperation with Xia Le!"

"Apart from this matter, are there any other connections between them?"

"This is what you need to find out!"

Danzo's words lingered in his ears, making Sarutobi Hiruzen's face uncertain.

The eldest disciple and Xia Le were united, such a thing made him a little difficult to accept, and even felt sad.

At the same time, his private human experiments in Konoha were also discovered.

"Jiraiya went after him!"

Mito Kado En sighed and patted his shoulder.

"Alas!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

At the same time, approaching the Konoha Forest.

"Orochimaru!"

"Are all the rumors about you in the village true?"

Jiraiya shouted loudly to the figure in front that was about to disappear in the jungle.

"What's the point of truth and falsehood?"

"You and I are not on the same path!"

Orochimaru smiled faintly, without any abnormal expression on his face.

"What are you talking about?"

"We are brothers from the same school!"

Jiraiya said incredulously, as if he had never expected that the other party would say such words.

"You will never understand my thoughts, Jiraiya!"

"The dimensions we are in are not on the same level from the beginning to the end."

Orochimaru sighed.

"Come back with me, Orochimaru!"

"Even if you make a mistake, as long as you are willing to admit it and correct it, we will forgive you."

Jiraiya clenched his fists and shouted angrily.

"Your forgiveness is meaningless to me!"

Orochimaru said lightly.

Then he turned around and prepared to leave here.

"Stop!"

"If you don't want to go back with me, then I can only tie you back!"

Jiraiya shouted.

"Oh?"

Orochimaru paused with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Do you think you can beat me?"

Jiraiya looked serious and stared at the other party: "Orochimaru, then let me show you my progress in this period of time!"

Orochimaru turned around: "I'm really curious, where does your confidence come from!"

The two looked at each other, and there was a bit of fighting spirit in their expressions.

Suddenly

Jiraiya suddenly moved, and in just a moment, he had crossed a distance of dozens of meters and arrived in front of Orochimaru.

He exerted force on his waist, twisted violently, and kicked out with his right foot.

Orochimaru raised his hand, blocked the attack with a bang, and then quickly counterattacked.

Jiraiya quickly defended, and after a dull collision sound, both of them retreated a distance.

"It seems that you have made some progress in these years of travel!"

Orochimaru's face became a little serious.

Jiraiya's face was serious: "I will catch you in front of Sarutobi teacher!"

"Now, let me show you what kind of power I have gained over the years!"

Then, he shouted.

There was a buzzing vibration between his body, and an inexplicable breath swept out.

On his face, a trace of mysterious runes appeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, a toad appeared on both shoulders.

"Sage Fukasaku, Sage Shima!"

"Please help me, I want to catch Orochimaru as soon as possible and bring him back to the village!"

After Jiraiya changed into Sage Mode, his face became more fierce and solemn.

"Orochimaru?"

"Why are you going to attack him, Jiraiya!"

Sage Fukasaku said in confusion, his eyes also looking at Orochimaru in front of him.

"It's a long story!"

"Let's take action quickly, otherwise, if he escapes, it will be troublesome!"

Jiraiya said in a deep voice.

"Okay!"

Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima said together.

At this time, Orochimaru saw Jiraiya's changes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Sage Mode of Myoboku Mountain?"

"Is this your confidence, Jiraiya?"

Sage Orochimaru said softly.

"He actually knows Sage Mode too?"

Sage Shima said in surprise.

"Don't forget his relationship with Ryuchi Cave!"

Sage Fukasaku said.

"The Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave may be suitable for the snake tribe, but not for us humans!"

"Such a Sage Mode is not worth learning!"

Orochimaru shook his head.

"Didn't you master it?"

Sage Fukasaku breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiraiya jumped high, the hair on his head expanded rapidly, and flew towards Orochimaru.

"Sage Technique: Thousand Hair Needles!"

At this time, Orochimaru was still talking calmly.

"But I learned the Sage Mode that is most suitable for humans!"

"And this is what I understand as a true Sage!"

The next second, lines appeared between Orochimaru's eyebrows, and his energy suddenly burst out.

He stretched out his right hand and slammed the ground.

"Sage Technique: Triple Rashomon!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Instantly, the ground shook, and three huge portals rushed out, blocking the white hair. The evil ghosts on them were ferocious and roared.

The fierce mental attack attacked Jiraiya at this moment, making him dizzy for a while.

"Little Jiraiya, be careful!"

"Orochimaru has also mastered the Sage Mode!"

Sage Fukasaku shouted.

"Moreover, his Sage Mode is different from any of the three holy places!"

Sage Shima was shocked.

"Where did he learn this from?!"

Jiraiya's eyes widened in shock.

He had traveled all these years and learned the Sage Mode in Myoboku Mountain. He thought he had improved a lot. But he didn't expect that the other party had also mastered such a powerful method without making any noise.

"This is the difference between you and me, Jiraiya!"

"You can only learn passively."

"But what I think about is the essence and operating principle of this mode, and how to improve it in the future!"

Orochimaru jumped lightly and was half-crouching on the Rashomon, looking down at the front.

"You are only looking at the surface of this world!"

"But my eyes are already on the essence!"

His figure jumped again, like a stream of light, and appeared in front of Jiraiya in an instant.

He swung his arms simply and sharply, and Jiraiya responded hastily.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

A dull collision sound came out, and Jiraiya felt pain and stepped back.

"Such a powerful force!"

"Jiraiya, be careful, his Sage Mode can increase the human body's power even more than yours!"

Sage Fukasaku said immediately.

"How is that possible?!"

Jiraiya said incredulously.

Orochimaru looked indifferent: "What suits a toad may not suit you!"

"And my Sage Mode is the most suitable for humans."

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

After a pause, his hands quickly formed seals again.

"Sage Technique: Hidden Shadow Ten Thousand Snake Formation!"

As his hands touched, there was a buzzing vibration, and thousands of snake shadows appeared behind him in the blink of an eye, making a hissing sound.

The number of them was so large that it made people's scalps numb. Behind Orochimaru, they had piled up into a mountain, giving people a sense of shock, fear and oppression.

"Perfect Sage Mode."

"It is to bring the human body to its limit!"

"In this state, Sage Mode can amplify any ninjutsu and strengthen it into a senjutsu!"

"It can also amplify the human body's physique, perception, and spirit, as well as everything in the outside world, to obtain superhuman acuity!"

"And you, learned the Sage Mode from Myoboku Mountain!"

"It's a bit ridiculous in front of me!"

Orochimaru said lightly.

After he came into contact with this volume of Sage Mode, he realized its exquisiteness and preciousness. It can be said to be the greatest secret book of mankind.

It can even be said that it created a school that is completely different from the Ninja Sect.

Orochimaru called this school the Sage Sect.

Jiraiya was shocked and shouted: "Where did you learn it from? Orochimaru!"

Hearing this, Orochimaru was silent and did not answer.

"Sage Method Goemon!"

Jiraiya saw that the other party did not say anything, so he attacked again.

But Orochimaru only clasped his hands in the face of the overwhelming flames.

"Immortal Technique: Ten Thousand Snake Sword Shadow Technique!"

Instantly, the thousands of snake shadows piled up like a mountain turned into sharp sword shadows, making sword chanting sounds.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Ten thousand swords were fired at the same time, flying towards Jiraiya.

The latter's pupils contracted, and the faces of Fukasaku and Shima changed suddenly: "Get out of the way!"

"He actually created such an immortal technique!"

There were continuous exclamations, and Jiraiya was completely covered by these thousands of sword shadows.

Orochimaru turned around and stepped into the forest of Konoha, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
