Chapter 35
"Shizune, who are you talking to?"
Tsunade, who looked sleepy, also stretched and walked over, but she was stunned when she saw Orochimaru who had finished washing up.
"Hmph... I thought you were dead outside!"
Seeing Tsunade curl her lips with a look of disdain, Orochimaru was no longer surprised.
"You have gained a lot of weight while I was away!"
After saying that, Orochimaru ignored her gloomy face and went straight back to the room.
After he left, Tsunade whispered to Shizune:
"Hey, Shizune, have I really gained weight?"
Shizune looked at her, then looked in the direction of Orochimaru's room, and said weakly:
"It seems, but not really!"
"It's over, it's over, it must be because she ate too much junk food recently, it's all Orochimaru's fault..."
Orochimaru could guess Tsunade's performance with his toes, after all, weight is very sensitive to women.
In the following time, Orochimaru returned to a peaceful life again.
On this day, Orochimaru was tinkering with his research in the studio. Although he had already merged the cells of the Uzumaki clan, the cells of Uchiha and Hyuga had not yet been analyzed.
He was shaking the test tube with great concentration, and a "squeaking" sound outside the door suddenly stopped his movements.
The next moment, Orochimaru's figure disappeared from the spot.
"You are quite courageous!"
At the door of the studio, a masked ninja was pinched by Orochimaru's neck, and he was lifted up like a chicken. His voice became hoarse and gloomy.
He dared to sneak into the residence of the Senju clan in broad daylight and peeked at his own experiments. He was really tired of living!
"Uh uh... Orochimaru, Lord Danzo invites you!"
Just when the ninja was about to suffocate, he finally squeezed out a few words from his teeth with difficulty.
After hearing this, Orochimaru finally reduced the strength in his hand, and then threw him aside like throwing away garbage.
It turned out to be a Root ninja. Orochimaru thought it was an Anbu ninja who was monitoring him.
Thinking about it, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary during this period, and the Third Hokage shouldn't target him.
"Orochimaru, Danzo sent me to invite you over."
The Root ninja who had recovered his breath spoke in a somewhat stiff tone. Through the two holes on the mask, Orochimaru looked at his eyes without any emotion, and Orochimaru also laughed sinisterly:
"It's really the style of your Root. Lead the way!"
For these humanoid weapons trained by Danzo to be emotionless, Orochimaru didn't want to talk too much nonsense with these minions.
He didn't go through the main gate. The Root ninja went over the wall and walked through some remote and dark paths along the way. It can be seen that these rats in the sewers have become accustomed to this style of behavior.
Orochimaru followed the ninja like a thief all the way to a basement on the edge of Konoha Village.
This place is also included in the forbidden area of Konoha. Generally, Konoha Guard and Anbu ninjas will not patrol here. There are patrol teams of Root ninjas here.
After turning around and coming to the depths of the basement, Orochimaru did not hesitate to look at the surrounding environment. This Root base is not much different from other basements. It is dark, damp and depressing.
After walking for five or six minutes, the Root ninja who led the way finally stopped.
"Danzo, the person has been brought here!"
Orochimaru looked in the direction of the voice. The one-eyed Danzo was sitting on a big chair with a golden sword. He looked around carefully. A table and a chair, it was simple.
The decoration of the room is the same as that of the Hokage's office. It can be seen that the old thief Danzo has coveted the position of Hokage for a long time.
"Orochimaru, long time no see!"
Waving his hand, he asked the ninja who led the way to leave, and Danzo stood up from his seat.
"Danzo, why did you think of me?"
Orochimaru's voice also became gloomy and hoarse. As the Dark of the Ninja World, Danzo must have no good reason to find him.
Thinking about what he needs, the answer is obvious.
Sure enough, Danzo's next sentence revealed his fox tail:
"What do you think of Hashirama's cell research?"
"If this research succeeds, it will naturally benefit the country and the people. Not to mention inheriting the Wood Release Blood Limit of the First Hokage, just using it to regenerate broken limbs and repair the broken body will be a subversive improvement for the medical care of the entire Ninja World."
Not to mention the medical ninjutsu that only ninjas can master in this world, even in the developed medical environment of the previous life, the regeneration of broken limbs is a historic breakthrough!
Not to mention that this world has been in war for many years. I don't know how many ninjas are disabled and how many family pillars have lost their lives.Labor.
"Well! I agree with your opinion."
Danzo was very satisfied with Orochimaru's answer, and then continued:
"If this scientific research project is restarted and you continue to study, are you sure that the research will succeed?"
Finally, Danzo said the ultimate purpose of calling Orochimaru here this time.
As soon as the voice fell, Danzo's only remaining eye stared at Orochimaru's expression, and the aura and pressure on his body were also revealed.
Facing the imposing Danzo, Orochimaru did not respond immediately, but fell into deep thought.
He was not thinking about Danzo's problem, but when Danzo said that he wanted to restart the research, a mechanical sound came to his mind again.
"The host is detected to trigger the plot, Danzo's olive branch! You have the following choices:
①Accept Danzo's invitation to cooperate and continue to study Hashirama cells, you will gain the perception of the 'heart net'.
②Reject Danzo's invitation and disdain to go along with him, you will gain Armament Haki."
I didn't expect the rewards this time to be so generous. Another name for the heart net is Observation Haki, and the latter Armament Haki is also what Orochimaru wants.
However, combined with his own situation, Armament Haki is just icing on the cake for his physique, while Observation Haki can greatly enhance his perception.
And he will definitely continue to study Hashirama cells in the future, and cooperating with Danzo is just a vest. As for the possible exposure risks in the future, will he blame himself like in the original work?
This time, it was not Orochimaru who started the trouble. It doesn't matter if the old thief Danzo blames him. Anyway, he is destined to defect, and he will be liquidated sooner or later!
"You don't seem to agree with this old man's idea?"
Seeing that Orochimaru was silent for such a long time, I thought he was undecided.
"It's okay for me to study it, but the Third Hokage..."
Orochimaru came back to his senses and met Danzo's cold eyes, and then expressed his concerns!
"Humph! This matter is the Root's business, it's not his turn to take care of it."
After a pause, he continued:
"I do this for Konoha, don't you want to make this sacrifice?"
