Chapter 434: Whispers in the Dark Night in Orochimaru's Laboratory

Konoha, the Root Base.

Just as Fujiwara Tetsuya was traveling with Uchiha Mikoto and heading slowly towards Konoha.

Danzo also appeared in Orochimaru's laboratory...

With Danzo's support, Orochimaru can mobilize resources for scientific research and collect experimental subjects far more abundantly than before in the Land of Rain.

After Orochimaru entered the Root and became Danzo's deputy, he stepped out of the laboratory more often.You can count them on your fingers.

"Orochimaru, how is the progress of the first generation cell research..."

Looking at the huge instruments standing on the rock walls on both sides, and the dozens of experimental subjects who didn't know whether to live or die, Danzo paused and slowly walked to Orochimaru who was performing an autopsy on the operating table.

"Puff..."

Perhaps it was Danzo's sudden appearance that disturbed Orochimaru's attention. His calm hands trembled slightly, and instantly cut the vein of the experimental subject. In an instant, a large amount of blood gushed out, and the operating table was immediately dyed blood red...

Seeing the experimental subject in front of him was disabled, a trace of coldness flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.

"The progress is not smooth. The first-generation cells have too much rejection effect on adult men. If you want to reproduce the power of Wood Release, you need to conduct more experiments~"

"In addition, I need an assistant, an assistant who is proficient in medical ninjutsu and has superb medical ninjutsu skills..."

"As for the experimental subjects, I will send the Root to find them again... I will definitely select better experimental subjects to send over."

"But the matter of medical ninjas~"

At this point, Danzo paused. The Root now... has no shortage of talents, including assassins, spies, combat types... all kinds of personnel.

But medical ninjas are almost blank. Even if there are... they are at most comparable to the level of middle and lower ninjas, which obviously cannot meet Orochimaru's requirements.

"Don't think of perfunctory me with those garbage~"

"If you want to conduct research on the first-generation cells, a ninja who is proficient in medical ninjutsu is indispensable. Even if he can't reach Tsunade's level... at least he can't be too far behind."

Although Konoha has begun to tilt resources towards the training of medical ninjas in the middle of the war, it is not a simple matter to train a talented ninja who can stand on his own.

Otherwise, Tsunade... the title of the strongest medical ninja would not be so loud.

Hiseki Utatane, who inherited Tsunade's mantle, would not be tightly held in the hands of the medical department after the war.

"I understand this kind of thing, I will consider it carefully, after all... it is related to the success or failure of the research, I will not do it recklessly."

Although the research on the first generation of cells is progressing slowly, Orochimaru's research results in sealing techniques and other research have brought great benefits to the Root...

This is also the reason why a man like Danzo who has such a strong desire for control now indulges Orochimaru.

"Speaking of which... I do have a candidate~ I just don't know if you have the courage?"

In the claustrophobic space, Orochimaru's hoarse laughter became more and more piercing.

"Who?"

"Tetsuya-kun's lover, now one of the vice-directors of the medical department... Utane Hishii Jonin."

"As the successor of Tsunade, she is fully qualified... to assist us in pushing the research of the first-generation cells to a new level."

"Of course, the premise is that you have enough courage~"

"As Tetsuya-kun's former opponent, you should know what the price will be if you provoke the people around him~."

In the playful eyes of Orochimaru, Danzo left the laboratory with a sullen look.

How could he not understand that kind of price?

It's just that the research results of the first-generation cells... are something he can't give up no matter what.

"Ryoma~"

At the moment of whispering, a black shadow appeared behind Danzo.

The person who came was the top genius of the Aburame clan, Aburame Ryoma.

At the age of seventeen, he mastered the strongest secret technique of the Aburame clan and became an elite Jonin early... regarded by Danzo as an excellent junior who could become his arm.

"Danzo-sama~"

"Ryoma, pass the order, select some members with medical ninja talents from the root, and focus on training them."

"I want to see results in the shortest possible time~"

Placing all hopes on outsiders has never been Danzo's style.

Absolute control can make Danzo feel at ease.

"Yes~"

"In addition, find out what Uta-ne Hisei has been doing in recent days~"

"Also, the plan for Hatake Sakumo~ can start, and the glory of White Fang... is also time to end."

In the past few months, in addition to focusing on the research of Orochimaru, Danzo's energy has basically been focused on calculating Hatake Sakumo.

After the war, Hatake Sakumo's great activity not only made the name of White Fang more and more famous in the ninja world, but also made Hatake Sakumo... The voice in the hearts of countless villagers and grassroots ninjas in Konoha became louder and louder...

Gradually gathered together to make Hatake Sakumo the fourth generation!

"…Yes"

Compared to Danzo's first and second orders!

Even Aburame Ryoma seemed a little hesitant about the arrangement of the third order...

White Fang, that is the real pillar of Konoha, do you really have to do that?

"Ryoma~I won't do anything to destroy the city wall."

"What I want to do is just to hit Hatake Sakumo's reputation and cut off his hope of inheriting the fourth generation~I will leave him a way to survive."

"The power behind Hatake Sakumo must not be in power at this time, otherwise...it will impact the existing order of the village and put the village into an unpredictable state of chaos."

...

Medical Department.

Although it was late at night, the top floor of the administrative building of the Medical Department was still brightly lit.

"Dong Dong Dong~~~"

Hearing the knock on the door outside the house, Tsutomu Ryoi yawned and raised her head from the piles of documents on the table.

"Come in~"

"It's you, Mr. Danzo~This is really a rare guest~"

Perhaps deeply influenced by Fujiwara Tetsuya's sincere teachings,The moment she saw Danzo, Utane Hisoki became alert subconsciously.

"Long time no see, Vice Minister Hisoki~"

"I wonder if Danzo has come here in person at this time, but is there anything important to tell you?"

"Yes, but~ it's not convenient to talk here, please follow me, Vice Minister Hisoki, I will tell you everything without hiding anything."

Looking at Danzo's back as he turned and left, Utane Hisoki followed him quickly after a little hesitation.

"What? Research on the first generation of cells?"

In a hidden place, Utane Hisoki listened to Danzo's story, and her expression suddenly darkened.

As the vice minister of the medical department, she had consulted countless important information recorded by the medical department after taking office. She naturally understood that the matter of the first generation of cells was the real taboo of Konoha~

Sure enough, as Tetsuya said, a paranoid and ambitious person like Danzo would never stop moving forward.

This time, is he eyeing the first generation of cells?

"Yes, the research on the first generation of cells~"

"Deputy Minister Hishii, as a ninja, I have to watch my lover and competitors become stronger~"

"It must be very uncomfortable to be left behind, right?"

"With the talents of Tetsuya and Uchiha Mikoto, in the future... they will definitely become stronger?"

"By then, you, who have no blood boundaries or physique, will not be able to catch up with them anyway~"

"As long as you are willing to participate in this research, I can promise you... all the research results will be provided to you free of charge~ You should know how powerful the first generation's Wood Release is?"

"That will become your absolute power to catch up with them!"

It has to be said that Danzo's control over people's hearts has indeed reached a level that ordinary people cannot reach.

The lack of combat power is indeed a thorn buried deep in the heart of Utatane Hishii~

Born in the Utatane clan, she does not have the ninja talent that is far beyond ordinary people like Fujiwara Tetsuya! There is no horrible blood stain like the Uchiha clan's Sharingan...

Even if they control a lot of resources, it is extremely difficult to break through the quasi-kage, let alone... become a kage.

"I... need time to think about it~"

"Of course, you have plenty of time to make this decision."

"But I need to remind you that this matter... must not be known to the little kid Tetsuya~"

"Otherwise, all cooperation will end here, and I will not admit that I came to you!"
