Gua was honestly speechless.
Being a villain was no easy job these days.
Just look at what it had driven Hiruko to.
He had become a rat in the gutter, pouring out an endless stream of words the moment he caught someone.
This world really was fucked up.
Good thing I didn't become a villain.
Gua felt lucky to have parents who loved him.
Hiruko probably didn't have a mother.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have grown into a major villain.
From what Gua knew about Hiruko, the guy had simply been jealous of Orochimaru and the other two. With nowhere to find emotional refuge, his mind had ended up twisted.
Gua had drawn up a psychological profile of Hiruko.
He was very satisfied with it.
"Did you zone out again?" Hiruko asked flatly.
Gua refocused his gaze on Hiruko.
"Go on."
Gua was ready to be a good listener. Maybe he could even change Hiruko's heart, until the man hugged him and said, "I was wrong, I was wrong! I shouldn't have become a villain! I regret it! Hurry up and leave~"
But that didn't happen.
Hiruko wasn't going to keep talking.
"Our conversation ends here. I was simply curious about what goes on in the minds of geniuses like you."
Hiruko repeated himself again, as though in a daze.
"Yes. Very curious."
Gua glanced around.
Explosions still sounded in the distance from time to time. Gua figured Itachi must have found Kabuto by now.
He wondered whether those two could manage.
But he couldn't help them anyway. Right now, he could barely keep himself alive, much less save anyone else.
"You weren't listening to me at all, were you?"
Hiruko's voice grew slightly cold.
Gua: ...
Gua stared at Hiruko in shock.
Holy shit!
