Chapter 94 Heartbroken

//

"Kimimaro doesn't matter now. He has no value."

Orochimaru's words kept playing in Kimimaro's mind.

//

Do not!

Kimimaro woke up suddenly, covered with a clean sheet and dripping with cold sweat.

Looking around, I saw dim light, and the torches on the walls cast huge shadows.

It seemed like I was back in Orochimaru's underground research base, but there was a strange atmosphere everywhere.

"Is this, hell?"

Kimimaro thought of everything, his heart was filled with despair, and he muttered to himself.

"Maybe, but we usually call this place 'Konoha' more."

From the shadows, a handsome young man with an elegant appearance stepped out and answered Kimimaro's question.

"You are."

Kimimaro recognized it.

The person in front of him was none other than the new vessel that Lord Orochimaru had longed for, Sasuke Uchiha, who had shone brightly in the battle that day.

That day, after Orochimaru escaped, everyone looked at Kimimaro who fainted and felt embarrassed for a moment.

"Not very old."

Tsunade said.

"He is a very pure ninja."

Jiraiya commented briefly.

"Probably, after hearing Orochimaru's last words, he lost his faith in living."

Naruto said, feeling sad in his heart.

He suddenly remembered the night when he was bewitched by Mizuki and went to steal the Sealed Book during his graduation year from the Ninja School.

At that time, I was hiding behind a big tree and heard Teacher Iruka say, "The demon fox will indeed make the wrong choice."

At that moment, he really wanted to give up on himself completely.

However, Teacher Iruka then continued: "But Uzumaki Naruto won't! Because he is my outstanding student!"

It was this sentence that saved my life.

Although it was only for a moment, Naruto knew exactly what it felt like.

It must be very painful to be abandoned by the one you love.

After Kimimaro fainted, Naruto said:

"You also heard it, Orochimaru said, he seems to be seriously ill. If we leave like this, he will definitely die."

Everyone was silent and looked at Tsunade.

Tsunade understood what everyone meant, so she stepped forward for simple diagnosis and treatment.

After a while, Tsunade stood up and said:

"The curse seal backfired and his vitality rapidly depleted. Although it was not fatal, his will to survive was already very weak.

"In addition, the child himself has a serious blood disease, and his vitality is constantly passing away."

That's it, no wonder I always hear him coughing.

After learning this, everyone's judgment on Kimimaro's strength has improved to a higher level.

Strong, upright, tenacious and loyal.

For such a ninja, Konoha and the others couldn't help but admire him, even if he was an opponent whose lives were at stake.

And Orochimaru's ruthless abandonment of Kimimaro made people feel unworthy and sorry for him.

"Hokage-sama, what do you think?"

Neji, who had just been briefly treated by Tsunade, asked weakly.

"I have to take it back first, please, Tsunade."

Jiraiya thought for a long time before answering.

I can't bear to let him die.

Treat the patient in situ, but worry about letting the tiger return to the mountain.

After much hesitation, Jiraiya finally decided to take it back to Konoha for a long-term plan. Hearing what Jiraiya said, Tsunade no longer hesitated and immediately used Palm Senjutsu to stop the deterioration of Kimimaro's body and save his life.

"Sasuke, what do you think?"

Just as he was about to set off, Jiraiya had another thought and asked Sasuke alone.

"Follow the Hokage-sama's arrangements."

Sasuke just felt baffled.

You have already made up your mind, but you still insist on asking me one more question.

It wasn't until today, when Kimimaro woke up, that Sasuke understood Jiraiya's cunning intentions.

"You are all of the same age, so it is easier to communicate.

"Besides, you agreed in the end to bring him back!"

After receiving the news that Kimimaro's injury was improving, Jiraiya immediately called Sasuke to the Hokage's office and assigned him a task.

I hope Sasuke can find out Kimimaro's current thoughts, and if possible, try to absorb him into Konoha's system.

"When did I have to do it?"

Sasuke couldn't argue.

"Besides, for this kind of thing, it would be more appropriate for Shikamaru to go."

Sasuke pushed back.

"Shikamaru has never met the other party before, so he must be more wary."

Jiraiya replied.

"Well, he's seen Neji too, and he's Kimimaro's main opponent."

Sasuke continued to evade.

"This matter is of great importance, so I feel more at ease with you. Who made you my apprentice?"

"Then Naruto is your apprentice too! He also participated in the battle!"

Sasuke blurted out.

Jiraiya said nothing, his expression seemed to say——

"Are you serious?"
-

Konoha, underground detention room.

It is different from the ANBU interrogation room for temporary questioning, and it is not like the dense cages set up for guilty prisoners like Konoha Prison.

This was originally an area belonging to the root organization.

The maze-like caves and narrow and closed underground environment can be used to temporarily detain those prisoners who are dangerous but whose relationship is delicate and should not be treated roughly.

Gaara had been temporarily detained here before.

Here, there are no shackles or cages. The environment in the underground room is simple but also clean.

The torches are bright, the beds are comfortable, tables, chairs and benches are provided, and even ventilation devices are thoughtfully prepared.

Without deliberate reminders, detainees would not even feel that they have lost their freedom.

Outside the prison room was a maze-like dark cave.

There is no one in the cave. Once you get out, it will probably take a while to get back to this warm place.

If the detainee is extremely lucky and finds the only entrance and exit connected to the outside world, there will also be a corresponding sealing barrier there.

If the detainee shows intention to attack, the barrier can provide enough time for the guard at the door to pass the information back and wait for organized support.

"I am Uchiha Sasuke. Konoha Village has recently captured Kimimaro. How can I convince him to join Konoha? (Please check the history post for previous information)"

While waiting for Kimimaro to wake up, Sasuke called up the system in the next room and asked questions.

In the details, he briefly explained how he received Jiraiya's mission and the subsequent battle situation.

Soon, the replies from netizens gradually came out.

Chu Shen: "Okay, I looked through the history posts. It's very innovative. I'll add chicken drumsticks."

watermelon: "I'm so tired, I killed Gaara, and now it's time to kill the Sannin War. The second pillar is coming out, this is the rhythm of becoming the protagonist."
