Konan's heart tightened when she heard this name. She naturally knew the name Orochimaru. She was one of the Sannins along with Jiraiya who taught Nagato and Yahiko. However, her first impression was too bad.
Konan clearly remembers that if it weren't for Jiraiya's words, the three War Orphan would have been wiped from the world by Orochimaru. At this moment, she didn't know that her teacher had plans to pick up the corpse.
After coming to Konoha, Orochimaru became even more famous. There were even rumors that he was the next successor of Hokage. The teacher was really thoughtful in finding him to teach him.
But, Konan said, "I don't want to, I would rather study by myself."
Faced with Konan's resistance, Anyo didn't think much and asked patiently, "Can you tell me the reason?"
Konan said very bluntly, "I don't like him."
Facing the little girl's answer, Anyo was a little dumbfounded and helped her analyze it. "Did you know? Orochimaru himself is proficient in thousands of Ninjutsu, and has dabbled in all kinds of rare Ninjutsu. His practical experience is extremely rich, and his life-saving ability is unparalleled. Your Paper Release Ninjutsu, I'm afraid he is the only one in Konoha who knows how to teach you. After studying at Ninjutsu school for so long, you should know that thinking on your own and being taught by someone to move forward are completely different concepts. Don't give up an opportunity to grow yourself because of personal preferences."
After hearing what Anyo said, Konan suddenly woke up and felt a little embarrassed for his childish words just now, and said, "Teacher, I'm sorry."
"No need to apologize, human growth requires stages." After Anyo talked to Konan, he directly told her through the soul where Orochimaru was, how to enter, and what she needed to bring to him.
After doing all this, Anyo was about to leave when he was stopped by Konan: "Teacher, wait."
"Why, is there anything else?"
Konan hesitated for a while and said, "Go and see Sister Haku."
Anyo felt inexplicably panicked. "Bai, what's wrong with her?"
Konan said with a somewhat uncertain tone, "She seems to be sick."
"Sick?" Anyo breathed a sigh of relief. That shouldn't matter. Even if I can't cure him, Tsunade is still here, so there will be no problem.
Konan said worriedly, "I can't tell. Anyway, you'd better go and see her."
"Okay."
Anyo no longer hesitated and manipulated the soul to quickly find Bai's location and entered her Spiritual Sea.
Bai, who was suddenly broken into Mindscape, suddenly saw Anyo. He was shocked and seemed to still have some disbelief. He watched repeatedly and did not dare to get close, as if he was afraid that he would disappear in the next second.
Anyo said a little funny, "Why, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year, so we don't know each other anymore?"
Hearing the sound, Bai Cai mustered up the courage to rush over, then hugged Anyo, unwilling to let go for a long time.
Anyo under Soul State could feel that fiery emotion. After a while, Anyo asked, "What's wrong? What happened during the half year I was gone?"
Bai shook his head, looked at Anyo with burning eyes and said, "I have a question to ask you?"
"Well, you ask."
"You once told me that you needed me very much. Were you lying to me?"
"Of course not."
Bai showed a thrilling smile and murmured, "It doesn't matter even if you lied to me. Anyway, I remembered that you can't leave me behind after you come out. I hope I can always follow you in the future, just look at you like this, no matter what your identity is, and you only need to look back to see me."
Such a simple and straightforward sentence made Anyo's soul tremble.
He suddenly remembered the moment when he and Bai were facing life and death at the door of Kirigakure. He, who had always been selfish, used his last Chakra to save Bai's life and hoped that someone could save her. It turned out that she walked into my heart so easily.
This makes Anyo feel incredible. He has never trusted or even cared about a person without reservation in a short period of time. Only Bai has done this. It seems that she is my preference.
Anyo even felt that he couldn't bear her emotions. "Have you seen my soul? I am not a light, and I am not a good person. Don't have high expectations for me. You might be disappointed one day if you chase me. So, don't lose yourself for me."
Bai shook his head stubbornly and said, "I am not a light chaser, I am your shadow. If you are dark, then I will always be."
"You're so stupid, haha." Anyo was flustered and interrupted with a short laugh and said, "Don't worry, I won't let myself get into this situation again. This is the last time. So, practice hard and don't think too much. Even if you want to keep chasing me, you have to keep up."
After hearing this, Bai said firmly, "Yes, I will not waste time in the future."
"Well, I'm leaving then."
Anyo almost fled away from Bai's Mindscape.
Konan followed the direction pointed by Anyo and quickly walked into a tunnel. As the tunnel went deeper, the surroundings became dark and even empty. Fortunately, Konan has now become Ninja, and he is much bolder. He keeps his hands in Hand Seals state at all times to cope with possible crises.
After walking for a while, there was no way ahead. Konan realized that he was outside Barrier. He remembered Anyo's teachings and walked Hand Seals calmly into Barrier with his hands.
"Oh, I thought it was someone, but it turned out to be you." Barrier Someone came in under the cloth. Orochimaru naturally noticed it. He had been waiting here for a long time and recognized Konan at a glance.
Facing Orochimaru, Konan unconsciously felt a little fear in her heart, but thinking of what Anyo had said before, she plucked up the courage and said, "The teacher asked me to come here. He wanted you to teach me Ninjutsu, and said he owed you two and a half years, and he would pay it back to you after he comes out."
"Oh, really?" There was no emotion on Orochimaru's face, and he didn't know whether he agreed or not. In fact, he was quite depressed inside. After experiencing what it was like to have a top assistant, he always felt that something was missing when he went back to research alone. If it were someone else, he could still think of a way. The key is that the person who took Anyo away was Tsunade, so he could only give up.
Konan saw that Orochimaru didn't express anything and didn't know if he agreed. Just when he was about to continue speaking, Orochimaru spoke, "Not everyone is qualified to teach me, but since Anyo has proposed it, I will give you a chance. I just happened to accept a student, her name is Mitaraishi Anko. If you beat her, you can come again."
A day passed, and Konan came here again. Orochimaru was waiting in the same position, looking at Konan leisurely. Obviously, he already knew the outcome of the battle between the two. He said with a melancholy tone, "It seems that your teacher has better vision than me. Come on, I will teach you during this time."
