Facing the former genius student and the mainstay of today, Sarutobi is not strong at all. After all, even he does not agree to hand over Ye Zi.

The threat Iwagen used to force Konoha to hand over Ye Zi was largely just a bluff, because war was never so rash, but most of Konoha's senior management did not want to take risks.

Sarutobi looked at Orochimaru's serious expression and his tone became more and more serious: "I will do my best to strive for it."

Orochimaru looked at Sarutobi silently. From the beginning when Sarutobi said he would try it, he didn't believe that there was room for improvement in this matter. He could not understand when the Konoha senior management became so weak, or when the most powerful Konoha became so weak.

He didn't say anything else, only his disappointment with Sarutobi. He nodded and turned around without saying a word.

Sarutobi looked at his figure and couldn't help but sigh. No matter how beautiful the words were, whether they were talking to Ye Zi or not, the statement always fell into the hands of the senior management, unless he refuted the senior management with the toughest posture, but is this worth it?

Yes, Sarutobi thought it was not worth it, so he would only do his best, but would not respond to Orochimaru in a sure tone.

Ye Zi is not worthy of this because he never saw a sense of belonging in Ye Zi.

He can let Ye Zi grow up and always look forward to Ye Zi becoming the mainstay of Konoha one day, but unfortunately, until now, he has never seen his recognition and belonging to Konoha in Ye Zi.

………………………………………

That night, after dinner, Orochimaru stopped Ye Zi, who was about to get up to clean up the dishes and said, "I guess you heard some noises too."

Ye Zi nodded when she heard this, knowing what Orochimaru was referring to, and said lightly: "Isn't this kind of request ridiculous?"

"It's ridiculous." Orochimaru responded, then looked at the empty plates and empty plates stained on the table and were silent.

Orochimaru's sudden silence made Ye Zi understand that the ridiculous request seemed to be agreed.

"Is there no way you even?" Ye Zi looked at Orochimaru. He was not afraid that he would be handed over by Konoha, but he didn't want to leave Konoha so soon.

Indeed, Ye Zi has no sense of belonging to Konoha, and this can be seen by Sarutobi from the briefing he sent in his hand at all times.

Orochimaru's eyes flashed slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I will find a way."

Ye Zi smiled indifferently, not wanting to make Orochimaru embarrassed, and said, "I guess that's a very difficult thing. This world is big, and there is always a place for me to live in. I don't have to be in Konoha."

Things are often relative. Sarutobi expects Ye Zi to have a sense of belonging to Konoha and to become a part of the guardian Konoha in the future, but he doesn't know that Ye Zi had noticed that he was hiding in secret and surveillance his dark hole very early on. How can this situation make people feel a sense of belonging?

"You can only stay in Konoha." Orochimaru said unquestionably.

Ye Zi was silent when he heard this, and after a moment he said calmly: "I am no longer the child who was powerless."

Orochimaru said: "You are not strong enough to ignore the killing troops sent by other ninja villages. If you insist on leaving, it is better to die in Konoha than to die at the hands of others."

Ye Zi's eyes changed slightly, and he looked at Orochimaru and his tone became heavy: "Orochimaru, are you serious?"

Orochimaru also looked at him with a expressionless face, his snake's eyes were cold and he didn't say a word.

The atmosphere between the venue suddenly became a little cold.

Ye Zi suddenly sneered and said, "I didn't expect that the biggest obstacle to leaving was you. You didn't kill me at the beginning, so you can't kill me now."

Orochimaru just looked at him coldly and said after a long time, "I will find a way."

"You have no choice." Ye Zi stood up expressionlessly and began to clean up the dishes.

Orochimaru watched him clean up the dishes in silence. Indeed, he had no choice but to make any decisions about Konoha's senior management. He made great achievements and had a great reputation. He was one of Konoha's three ninjas, but he had no say in Konoha's decision.

After Ye Zi packed up the dishes, he went back to the room, while Orochimaru sat alone in the living room. Until the moonlight shone from the courtyard to the hall, he turned to look at the courtyard where Yin Guang landed. After a long time, he slowly stood up and walked towards the room.

At this moment, he had decided that if there was really no way, he would kill Ye Zi.

As he said, it is better to die at Konoha than let Ye Zi die at the hands of others, and his body has very high research value.
