"Indeed, I didn't understand it before, but since I became a teacher, I understand that blind protection is not what a teacher should do.

What a teacher should do is to teach his students how to survive. As a teacher, he can no longer stop him from doing what he wants to do.

There is a saying by Shiren that makes sense: the master leads you in, and cultivation depends on oneself."

"But as a teacher, you have the responsibility to lead your disciples on the right path. This is a responsibility that a teacher must bear. It cannot be dealt with by just saying 'rely on oneself', otherwise you will feel uneasy." Sarutobi Hiruzen said about

Orochimaru did not agree with what he said.

“The right path? What is the right path?

Old man, stop reading the joke. Watching Konoha's hero Sakumo Hatake being wrongly accused, framed and committing suicide. Is this what you call the right path?

Watching another hero of Konoha, Sabito, being framed and dragged down again and again, and you turn a blind eye, is this the so-called right path?

As Hokage, you watched your former companion abuse his power and even cultivate his own personal power in Konoha by relying on his relationship as your companion, and you watched helplessly as he framed other ninjas and used all kinds of disgusting methods.

Means, no results, this is the so-called right path?"

Orochimaru's series of words made Sarutobi Hiruzen speechless and he didn't know how to refute.

Today, Orochimaru talked a lot, much more than usual. It seemed that he had a lot to say in his heart.

"To use another sentence that Sheren once said, he said that if the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, and you can't do something well yourself, don't try to make others accept it, don't you think so? Old man."

Only then did Sarutobi Hiruzen realize that when he wanted to preach to others, he had to do a good job himself first, otherwise not only would he not be able to preach to others, he might even be preached to by others.

In fact, he didn't make many mistakes when he was young, but when he got older, he became indecisive about some things. In contrast, Danzo became more vicious as he got older, which is why he became like this.

"Is there really no chance of recovery? Orochimaru."

In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only say something close to begging.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, "Old man, you are getting older, your physical fitness has declined, your strength has become weaker, and even your mental energy has become much weaker.

This is something I don’t want to see but must see. This is human beings, a very fragile creature.

Humans...are just...too fragile...

Even a strong person like you cannot escape the temper and destruction of time."

Neither of them continued talking because they knew the other would not agree with the choice they made.

A master-disciple conversation ended without any results.

The one who felt the deepest impression was Orochimaru, who was both a teacher and a disciple.

He stood from the perspective of Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciple, and from the perspective of Toneri's teacher, he felt many, many things.

But no matter what, his decision will not change.

What needs to be changed may be his current progress.

On the other side, go back to the cattery.

Sheren directly found Lingxiang.

"Lingxiang, if you pay attention during this period, you can transfer all the important things here little by little.

Even you yourself, the 'Kagura Heart Eye' can be opened anytime and anywhere. As long as a ninja with roots approaches, don't hesitate and leave as soon as possible!

Don’t stay in Konoha, just leave and go to the place I told you before.”

Toneri's voice was a little heavy. After learning that Danzo and his roots had been attracted to Reika, Toneri kept thinking of ways to take her away.

Konoha is no longer a very safe place for Reika now because of his conflicting relationship with Danzo.

Fortunately, Lingxiang's strength is not weak now. Coupled with the special perception ability and chakra of her Uzumaki clan, it is not so easy to get close.

And now, Toneri also has a truly safe place outside Konoha.

At least there, Lingxiang's safety can be guaranteed.

After hearing Toneri's words, Lingxiang's expression became a little heavy.

"good!"

She is a well-behaved person who always gives a positive answer to Toneri immediately, and then raises her own doubts.

"Tonero-kun, what happened? Konoha is going to attack us?"

As the clerk of his cattery and the assistant in the laboratory, Lingxiang has done a lot of things that are forbidden by Konoha to the cattery, and she has some idea.

Shaking his head slowly, "No, I am ready to launch an all-out attack on the position of Hokage, but I have almost broken the relationship with Danzo. He knows some information about me from somewhere, so I am worried that he will ignore it.

Ye's regulations are forced upon you.

You are used to force me to submit, so in order not to be restrained by him, when necessary, you can leave Konoha first.

Moreover, your identity as a Uzumaki clan member is also very sensitive. If you are caught by Danzo, there is no guarantee that some extraordinary methods will be used on you."

"I see, I understand. Don't worry, Toneri-kun. If the situation goes wrong, I will definitely run away as soon as possible. I will never become a burden to you!" Lingxiang's eyes were very firm. She would never become Toneren.

burden!

Even death will never become a burden!

Lingxiang's determination is very firm.

As if he could see her determination from her eyes, Toneri touched her head with a warm smile on his face, "Lingxiang, don't worry too much, as long as I am still in the village, he will not dare

Take action. If I wasn't in the village, he might not dare to take action. If that doesn't work, just let Xiaolan and the others take you away.

There is a scroll here for you to put away. If you really encounter any danger, open this scroll."

As he said that, Toneri handed her a scroll with a sealing formation engraved on it, and the middle one only had the word "three" written on it.

"This is the Third Kazekage's human puppet sealing scroll, right? Tonero-kun, you don't have to..."

"It doesn't matter. As far as the current situation is concerned, I don't have any use for him, so I'll just leave him with you for now. It's a good trump card."

Now among the third Kazekage's human puppets, the Three Tails are still sealed. If they really want to explode, the power will definitely be very terrifying.

"Okay! I understand, I will definitely keep it well." Lingxiang nodded heavily.

In fact, with her physique of the Uzumaki clan and the fact that she has been learning sealing techniques from Toneri for such a long time, her sealing ability is not weak. If she can become a three-tailed jinchūriki, her combat power should be able to soar directly to the Kage level.

But if it's not necessary, it's better not to become a jinchuriki.

Otherwise, although you have one more trump card, you also have one more weakness. At the same time, you may become the target of others, and the gain outweighs the loss.

"Okay, don't think too much, have a good rest." After saying that, Toneri went directly back to his room.
