Sandaime Naruto and Tsunade's expressions were extremely complicated at this time.
For their favorite disciple and former comrade-in-arms to betray them, even if they are tough, they can't accept it for a while.
But this is the fact, Orochimaru attacked Jiraiya, and the broken forehead protector and scroll, he can't get away from it.
"Tell all the ninjas who are still searching in the village to stop."
Watergate looked at Uchiha Yan behind him and frowned. Although he still doesn't know the purpose of Orochimaru's kidnapping of the village's Chunin and Genin, but … I'm afraid those people have already been killed.
What he knows is that Orochimaru's second kidnapping of the village's ninjas is probably intentional, the so-called distraction of the Anbu's power to smoothly buy time for today's escape.
"The Anbu ninjas should search the places where Orochimaru has been in batches, they should be able to find something."
Although he already knows that there is not much hope, Watergate is still unwilling to give up the last hope.
The most important thing is that since Jiraiya -sensei can get these things, it means that somewhere in the village, there should be a secret base of Orochimaru.
"But I think all of this will be clear when Jiraiya -sensei wakes up."
Watergate sighed and looked at Sandaime and Tsunade beside him.
"Yes!"
Uchiha Yan nodded and disappeared in front of the three of them.
"I also have something to deal with, so I will take my leave first."
Watergate said. The storm of the attack on the village hasn't subsided, and now one of the Sannin, Orochimaru betrayed Wood Leaf.
If this news is not suppressed as soon as possible, it will be very bad for Wood Leaf.
The rest of the Shinobi villages and major countries are all waiting for this moment.
However … I'm afraid this matter can't be hidden for long, because the one who blocked Uchiha Yan's way is the masked man who attacked Wood Leaf.
The latter would probably spread the news very quickly.
Thinking of this, the killing intent in his blue eyes could not be contained.
Sandaime nodded and Watergate returned to his office.
"Hokage-sama, Jiraiya-sama has woken up."
Two hours later, an Anbu ninja came to report.
Watergate heard this and moved to Wood Leaf Hospital again.
...
In the ward, Tsunade was sitting beside Jiraiya. The latter's expression was gloomy as he lowered his head.
"Teacher."
At this moment, Watergate's figure appeared by the window, in front of Jiraiya's bed.
Jiraiya raised his eyes and looked at Watergate. After a moment, he looked away, his eyes flashing.
"I'm sorry, Watergate," Jiraiya suddenly said.
Watergate ordered him to observe Orochimaru, and he did find something unusual about the latter.
According to common sense, he should report this to the village as soon as possible.
"It's not your fault."
Watergate said. Just a while ago, he learned that after Jiraiya -sensei left the village with Orochimaru, he didn't even bring the Flying Thunder God Kunai he gave him.
The reason for this was clear to Minato …
In Sensei's heart, in fact, he probably knew how serious Orochimaru's actions were this time.
He didn't want to see his friend executed, even at the cost of his own life.
Watergate asked himself, if it was him, he might have made the same decision as Sensei.
"You don't have to comfort me, in any case, I violated Naruto's order, and I am willing to accept any punishment for this!" Jiraiya said.
"Well, Sensei, but you have to tell me first, what is Orochimaru doing?" Watergate said in a deep voice.
Jiraiya choked, then said: "The missing ninjas in the village were also caught by Orochimaru … He used these living people … It seems that he is conducting live experiments."
"Live experiments?"
Watergate's pupils suddenly shrank.
"Does this mean … there are no survivors?"
"… Well …"
Jiraiya struggled to respond. From the point of view of Konoha's Ninja, Orochimaru deserved to be executed ten times over for what he did.
Using living people for experiments is against morality and ethics, not to mention Wood Leaf ninja from the same village.
This is an unforgivable sin, more serious than killing a companion.
"Have you told Sandaime-sama about this?" Watergate asked.
"Sarutobi sensei has gone to Orochimaru's laboratory …" Jiraiya whispered.
"So …"
Watergate said. At this time, Tsunade on the side was almost unable to suppress the anger in his heart.
"I'm going to find that guy, I'm going to kill him with my own hands!" Tsunade clenched his fist slightly, and the sound of bones rubbing against each other was heard.
She established the medical ninja system and spent all her efforts to improve it in order to reduce the death rate of Wood Leaf ninja when performing tasks.
But now, Orochimaru actually hurt her companions. This kind of thing, with Tsunade's hot temper, she can't tolerate it.
"Tsunade -san, wait a minute." Tsunade said and was about to go out, but was stopped by Watergate.
"Watergate, I don't think you can accept this kind of thing, can you?" Tsunade said angrily. In this village, Watergate cares about his companions' feelings no less than anyone else.
"Yes."
Watergate nodded, then his tone changed and said: "But now the village is in a special period, and has just been attacked. Ninjas of your level have an unusual meaning for the village."
"What do you mean?" Tsunade naturally knew the meaning of Watergate's words.
"I know, at this time, Sensei's heart is as unreconciled as you are."
Watergate said: "After you leave the village, I'm afraid that Sensei will be more worried, so Wood Leaf's power will be greatly weakened."
He knows that after Orochimaru's defection, Sensei can no longer stay in the village with peace of mind.
If Tsunade leaves at this time, then Wood Leaf will lose the power of the three Sannin at the same time.
After listening to the reason, Tsunade's face changed, and then looked at Jiraiya.
Watergate also looked at Jiraiya at this time.
"Sensei … Since you feel that you have made a mistake in your heart, then investigate Orochimaru's matter as your task, I will leave it to you!"
...
Sandaime-sama and several accompanying Anbu found Orochimaru's underground laboratory.
Under the dim yellow light, the bloody scene in the laboratory and the experimental platform caused the expressions of everyone present to flicker violently.
At this moment, Sandaime Naruto seemed to have aged a lot.
His slightly stooped body trembled slightly.
A muffled groan came out, and from the corner of Sandaime's mouth, red blood flowed out.
