Chapter 5: New Superiors
Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.
Undoubtedly, it was the lifelong obsession of Shimura Danzo.
As for Danz's claim that only Konoha could use the power of Wood Release, everyone present knew it was merely a joke, and no one took it seriously...
This old man always spoke of doing everything for the sake of Konoha, but behind the scenes, he wished to hold all power in his own hands.
No.
Shimura Danzo wished to possess these powers himself.
If he could create a second Wood Release ninja...
It would mean that Orochimaru's technique was somewhat mature.
Shimura Danzo's heart burned with desire, perhaps he too could transplant Hashirama's cells, thus awakening the First Hokage Senju Hashirama's Wood Release Kekkei Genkai!
The old man's gaze sharply shifted from the boy to Orochimaru's face, immediately asking the question he most wanted to know.
"Orochimaru, does the awakening of Wood Release in this child mean that Hashirama's cells can now be successfully transplanted onto others?"
"No."Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only
Orochimaru shook his head, dousing the old man's fervor with cold water: "The cell experiment on Kagura was a success, but it was a mere chance occurrence in the experiment..."
"Alright."
The old man's mood suddenly became somewhat displeased.
"However..."
Orochimaru's tone changed, a cryptic smile appearing on his lips: "I have found another experimental idea through this experiment, but I still need some precious experimental materials and a lot of funds"
""
Akihara Kagura looked at Orochimaru in surprise.
This success of Hashirama's cell transplantation was entirely because he possessed a feature of "Science of the Ninja World"...
Any human experiment on him, as long as it conforms to the theory of Science of the Ninja World, is bound to succeed, how could it possibly give Orochimaru any new experimental ideas...
Shimura Danzo, the investor, was not quite aware of the situation.
The old man's brows furrowed slightly, seemingly in difficulty, but eventually, he responded: "List what you need, I will try to arrange for it... I hope to see something satisfying next time."
"Next time for sure."
Orochimaru nodded, his smile growing wider.
Before leaving.
Shimura Danzo seemed to think of something, suddenly turned back, and said to Orochimaru: "By the way, this base is no longer safe..."
"Hmm?"
Orochimaru immediately furrowed his brow.
This base, compared to other bases, has more complete experimental equipment and has always been well-organized due to Akihara Kagura, a modern educated transmigrator managing it, making Orochimaru want to use this base as a long-term stronghold.
"I have received a piece of intelligence"
Shimura Danzo's expression looked somewhat unpleasant, as if he was mentioning someone he didn't want to bring up: "In a small town near this base... your old friend has appeared."
"...I know."
Orochimaru immediately thought of a tall man with white hair.
Orochimaru's expression also became grim, he clenched his teeth and muttered, "That guy Jiraiya... really is a lingering..."
"Some have reported his whereabouts to me."
"Since you left Konoha, Jiraiya has been secretly investigating your whereabouts. He is as foolishly naive as your teacher, but both are troublesome for us."
Danzo, who never liked Jiraiya who had a somewhat similar temperament to Hiruzen, coldly said: "If there's a chance, it would be best to kill him to avoid further trouble."
"...I know."
Orochimaru's face immediately turned even more unsightly, and he said in a deep tone: "That Jiraiya... is not so easy to deal with..."
"I can leave Tatsuma here to help you."
Danzo pointed to a guard ninja beside him: "Tatsuma has been your old partner, you two..."
"No need."
Orochimaru coldly refused the suggestion, indifferently saying: "Jiraiya... that fool, has never been my match since ninja school..."
"Then I will be leaving first."
Danzo nodded his head.
"..."
Akihara Kagura stood beside them, somewhat speechless.
Lord Danzo is getting old, his eyesight is not what it used to be. Can't he see such a small thing?
Hoping Orochimaru could kill Jiraiya in this lifetime is like hoping you could kill the Third Hokage Hiruzen in your lifetime!
