Chapter 386 Meeting of the Three Ninjas

Danzo sneered, and then said: "You have already attacked Sarutobi Hiruzen, and you still care about this? You just want to get more benefits from me."

Orochimaru did not deny it and nodded slightly: "You are right, but what benefits can you bring to me now? I have already got what I want."

"I can revoke the wanted order against you, and even let you return to Konoha Ninja Village and become the Hokage's deputy."

"You think I care about the position of Hokage?"

Orochimaru looked at Danzo and continued: "If I cared about the position of Hokage, I would not have left Konoha in the first place. As for canceling the wanted order, it is even more ridiculous. Who would really capture me in exchange for the bounty? ?”

Danzo was silent for a few seconds, staring at Orochimaru.

At the moment, he really couldn't come up with anything attractive to reach a cooperation with Orochimaru.

Orochimaru, who has independently established a Ninja Village, has no shortage of funds and thugs, and experimental materials can be purchased on the black market at will, with almost no restrictions.

Is there really no way for him to convince Orochimaru?

At this moment, a bold idea came to Danzo's mind, whether he should take advantage of the opportunity of being alone to attack Orochimaru.

As long as the Sharingan Genjutsu can control Orochimaru, he can gain a powerful fighter.

But the risk is actually not small. Orochimaru and Uchiha Shisui are different, they act insidiously and cunningly, and they always have a vigilance in their hearts.

If the attack on Orochimaru fails, the two sides will be completely at odds.

Although he was not worried about Orochimaru announcing their cooperation to the public, it would be difficult for him to deal with it if Orochimaru insisted on causing him trouble.

After all, Orochimaru has mastered the art of reincarnation, and has the first and second generation in his hands.

He also wants the dead first generation and second generation to protect Konoha in the form of reincarnation, but once he does this, the first generation and Mr. Tobirama will definitely oppose it.

The act of resurrecting the previous Hokage will also completely ruin his path to Hokage.

While Danzo was thinking, Orochimaru also had many thoughts in his mind, considering whether to continue to join forces with Danzo or to deal with Danzo again.

Orochimaru's thoughts are similar to Danzo's, and they both want to resolve their former alliance here.

Just when Orochimaru was hesitant, a voice sounded in Orochimaru's ears. After hearing the content, Orochimaru smiled and said to Danzo:

"Duanzo, I agree to cooperate with you, but I have several conditions."

Seeing that Orochimaru was willing to cooperate, Danzo felt relieved, and then asked: "Say your conditions, as long as they are not too excessive, I can agree to it."

When Danzo said this, he had already set a bottom line in his mind.

He can agree to Orochimaru's conditions, but he will not allow Orochimaru to interfere in the internal affairs of Konoha Ninja Village. Since the death of the Third Hokage, Danzo has regarded Konoha as his own.

Orochimaru saw Danzo's thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you too much. I just want to ask you for a few people. My Oto Ninja Village still lacks manpower?"

"Are you going to be short of manpower? In the Chunin Examination, the performance of the Onin Ninjas was very good."

"They are indeed good subordinates, but they are still far from my ideal subordinates..." Orochimaru paused, and then said: "What I want is the kind of genius in the true sense."

Danzo said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, just tell me who you want."

Orochimaru looked at Kabuto Yakushi who was not far away, and then said: "Kabuto Yakushi is a good talent. After we start cooperating, he will become my subordinate."

Danzo nodded and agreed to Orochimaru's conditions.

Kabuto Yakushi is an elite ninja at the root level, and he is very likely to become an elite jounin at the root level in the future, but that's all. He will at best be considered a good subordinate in the future.

Using him in exchange for cooperating with Orochimaru, he would not lose money on this deal.

After asking for the ownership of Yakushi Kabuto, Orochimaru continued: "In addition to Yakushi Kabuto, I also want another ninja, Uchiha Sasuke."

"You still want Uchiha Sasuke?" Danzo frowned, looking a little embarrassed.

Uchiha Sasuke is not an ordinary ninja, he is the younger brother of Uchiha Itachi. A large part of the reason why Uchiha Itachi has not leaked information about Konoha in recent years is because of Sasuke's existence.

After pondering for a moment, Danzo said to Orochimaru: "Orochimaru, I can't leave Sasuke to you. He is the last Uchiha in the village, and his every move is worried by the other senior officials."

"If you really want Uchiha Sasuke, I can provide you with intelligence support."

"Despite this, I still want to remind you that although Sasuke is a ninja of Konoha, his brother is Uchiha Itachi. If you take Sasuke away, it will definitely attract the attention of Uchiha Itachi."

Hearing this, Orochimaru raised a smile on his lips and said: "Duanzo, the reason why I want Uchiha Sasuke is precisely because of his brother Uchiha Itachi."

"Remember our wood escape plan back then? Uchiha Itachi would be the best experimental subject."

"The Wood Release plan is all fake. You must have fallen in love with his Mangekyō Sharingan..." Danzo unceremoniously exposed Orochimaru's thoughts, and then said:

"But it's a good thing that you can take him away. The village doesn't need this kind of hidden danger."

"Risks often represent opportunities. Isn't this also true for your fight for the position of Hokage this time, Danzo? If you want to live a mediocre life, what's the point of being a ninja?"

Danzo didn't want to chat with Orochimaru any more, and said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense, let's discuss the content of the cooperation."

Orochimaru also nodded, he also wanted to know what Danzo's plan was.

A few minutes later, Danzo told his plan. He wanted Orochimaru to attack Tsunade, so that everyone would know that Tsunade suffered from hemophobia and was unable to become the Hokage who protected the village.

Then he would appear from mid-air, quickly defeat Orochimaru, and protect Konoha with Tsunade to avenge the death of the third generation Hokage.

After listening to Danzo's plan, Orochimaru frowned, but still agreed.

After discussing the details, the two planned to leave. Before leaving, Danzo used the communication method of the root to call Yakushi Kabuto.

He glanced at Kabuto Yakushi and said, "Kabuto, from now on you are Orochimaru's ninja, but I hope you don't forget your previous identity. You will always be Konoha's ninja."

Kabuto Yakushi showed an uneasy expression and hesitated beside Danzo and Orochimaru.

Danzo directly launched the instant body technique and disappeared on the spot. Kabuto Yakushi, who stayed on the spot, turned around with a look of loss and looked at Orochimaru and said, "Lord Orochimaru... please give me more advice."

Orochimaru didn't waste any words and motioned Kabuto Yakushi to follow him and walked towards the depths of the dense forest.

However, even Orochimaru didn't notice that when Orochimaru turned around and left, Kabuto Yakushi's eyes no longer had the previous confusion and doubts, but instead were playful.

As early as after rescuing the dean, he lost the reason to stay in Konoha Ninja Village.

He had been lurking in Konoha and the Root Organization for these years, entirely to respond to Lord Bai Ye's expectations, and the latest task Lord Bai Ye gave him was to lurk beside Orochimaru.

Kabuto Yakushi had heard of the name of Orochimaru.

This is a ninja who has been cooperating with Danzo for many years, a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, but he is confident that he can complete the task lurking beside Orochimaru.

The only pity is that he can't see Danzo's fall with his own eyes.

...

A few days after returning to Konoha, Tsunade has adapted to the work of the director of Konoha Hospital.

Although she is still afraid of seeing blood, she can still guide the medical ninjas in the village through experience and reform the existing medical structure.

Twenty years ago, she once proposed the reform of the ninja team at a high-level meeting.

The content of the reform is also very simple, that is, to pair each ninja team with a medical ninja. The level of the medical ninja does not need to be very high, but at least a certain degree of medical knowledge must be mastered.

This reform greatly reduced the mortality rate of the ninja team and made Tsunade gain a very high reputation.

But that was the reform twenty years ago. Compared with twenty years ago, the fighting style of the ninja world has also changed a lot... Medical ninjas must also adapt to the new era.

I heard that in the Hidden Rain Village, there is already a technology to seal medical ninjutsu in a scroll.

With some medicines prepared in advance, almost every ninja in the Hidden Rain Village has the ability to heal themselves. Coupled with those chakra-driven weapons, the strength of ordinary ninjas in the Hidden Rain Village has become unimaginable.

After finishing a day's work, Tsunade walked towards the izakaya, ready to drink a few cups.

She originally wanted to rely on gambling to relieve the fatigue of the day, but there was no casino in the Konoha Ninja Village, so she couldn't have a good time.

When she becomes Hokage, she will definitely build a casino in the city of Konoha.

Halfway through the walk, Tsunade suddenly found that something was wrong.

At this time, shouldn't Shizune find her and persuade her not to go to the casino and izakaya, and work hard to pay off her debts?

Did Shizune go to visit her and break up? She should have told her.

Thinking of this, Tsunade sobered up a lot. She felt that Shizune's disappearance was strange, and there was something wrong with her ten points or even nine points.

But no matter how you look at it, Shizune has the strength of a jonin, so she shouldn't be attacked in the village.

Just as Tsunade was lost in thought, a villager suddenly came to her side. Tsunade, who was sensitive, came to the villager in an instant and subdued the villager directly.

After checking, Tsunade's face darkened.

This villager was manipulated by illusion to approach her, and his real purpose is still unknown.

After removing the illusion on the villager, Tsunade asked the villager who asked him to come. The villager looked confused and handed a letter to Tsunade.

The moment Tsunade saw the letter, her heart skipped a beat.

After scanning the contents above, Tsunade's face became even more livid, and a punch with strange power hit the wall casually, leaving a huge crack.

The content of the letter was extremely simple.

First of all, Shizune's mysterious disappearance today was because she was kidnapped. The other party's real purpose was not to kidnap Shizune, but to meet with her, and agreed on a meeting place, warning her not to bring other people with her.

This was obviously a trap for her, and Tsunade knew it very well.

But she couldn't guess the identity of the attacker, and she didn't know how the other party had the courage to meet her. Didn't the rising star of the ninja world remember the title of the three ninjas?

So, should she go to the banquet alone, or should she notify Jiraiya first?

After thinking for a while, Tsunade decided to take the initiative to meet the mysterious man who kidnapped Shizune. At the same time, she did not forget to inform other Konoha senior officials.

Following the prompts in the letter, Tsunade soon came to a remote alley.

After walking along the alley and taking a few turns, Tsunade saw the ninja who kidnapped Shizune. She was slightly startled and showed a wary gaze.

The ninja who kidnapped Shizune was Orochimaru, her former teammate and companion.

After seeing Tsunade attending the appointment, Orochimaru did not embarrass Shizune. He cast an illusion on Shizune, who immediately fell into a deep sleep and said to Tsunade:

"Long time no see, Tsunade-hime."

"Orochimaru..." Tsunade said these words almost through gritted teeth, and asked: "Why did you kill the third generation old man? You should know that he loves you the most."

Orochimaru said without changing his expression: "I just helped him realize his wish to die on the battlefield. When Minato Namikaze died and the old man chose to continue being Hokage, his soul was already dead."

"Today's death is just physical death. He no longer has the will of fire."

"Don't you think the Will of Fire is a bit ridiculous coming from your mouth?"

Tsunade stared into Orochimaru's eyes and said word for word: "No matter what your reason is, you are the murderer who killed the teacher."

"I don't deny that I am the murderer..."

After a pause, Orochimaru continued: "But if you lose the will of fire when conducting human experiments, the second Hokage should have lost the will of fire long ago."

Having said this, Orochimaru waved his hand, and then said: "I'm not here to talk nonsense with you. I have other things I want to ask you to complete this time. I will give you a satisfactory reward after the work is completed."

"What are you going to ask me to do?" Tsunade asked in confusion.

Orochimaru said straight to the point: "Do you remember the Wooden Release Plan that was interrupted by the old man? I want to use your medical ninjutsu to restart the Wooden Release Plan and reduce the risk of fusing Hashirama cells."

"Restarting the Mudun Plan, why should I agree to it?"

Tsunade is very disgusted with the wood escape experiment. On the one hand, the wood escape experiment will definitely use Hashirama cells, which are the cells left on her body.

Secondly, the Wood Release experiment was too cruel, and many, many ninjas died that year.

As if he had already guessed that Tsunade would object, Orochimaru said calmly: "Don't object in a hurry. Let's talk about the issues you care about first. As long as you assist me in my work, I can use the art of reincarnation of dirty soil to help you." You resurrect Naoki and Kato Dan.”
