Konoha's Thief Hand

Chapter 455 Hokage’s Decision

“Natsuki-kun, why come to me anytime?” Orochimaru’s mouth was slightly turned sideways, and the two walked into the yard side by side.

“It’s a study on the roots.” Natsuki can understand the hidden meaning of Orochimaru’s words, but this time it is for the roots. Of course, there is no need to cover it.

“Danzo made you come?” Orochimaru instantly understood and asked casually.

“It was my idea.” Xia Shu shook his head, “because I can’t think of anyone who is better at experimenting with cell transplantation technology than Orochimaru-sama.”

“Cell transplantation, whose cell?” Orochimaru first ruled out Hashirama cells. Although the material is extremely valuable, based on previous experiments, it is difficult to make breakthroughs in a short period of time.

“Third Raikage.” Speaking of this, Natsuki couldn’t help but exclaimed: “Master Orochimaru, I don’t know if you have seen the style of that one, but I personally watched nearly 10,000 Rock Shinobi ninjas fight with one person for three days and three nights. The scene of the ultimate death from exhaustion, the perfect combination of the strongest spear and the strongest shield, is still vividly visible today.”

“I have seen Third Raikage. It is indeed a strong man who can judge the fighting strength only by the breath from his body.” A memory flashed in Orochimaru’s eyes, and he asked with interest: “You guys in Third Raikage What did you find on your body?”

“A special kind of physique.” Xia Shu said as he took out a scroll and handed it to Orochimaru, “This is the data obtained through preliminary research.”

Orochimaru took the scroll and opened it with his hand. He just looked at it and seemed to have forgotten Natsuki aside.

Xia Shu didn’t urge, drinking tea and waiting quietly.

He sincerely admires this person’s scientific research spirit, but it’s a pity that such a person is hard to control and is as cautious as he is. Of course, he will not want to use the other party, let alone tell some secrets he knows to him, lest there will be a Six in the future. Paths Orochimaru.

Uh, maybe Six Paths snake girl?

“Is there only this piece of information?” Orochimaru quickly finished reading the scroll, squinting at Xia Shu and said, “But this did successfully arouse my interest.”

Are cells that function only when they are stimulated? It seems to be very helpful for the Hashirama cell research project that is almost shelved. Just imagine using the aggressiveness of Hashirama cells to stimulate the cells of Third Raikage to stimulate the effect of strengthening the body, then can the two finally achieve the result of harmonious coexistence?

Thinking of this, Orochimaru was eager to try.

“What can be researched next, I beg you.” Xia Shu said with a smile.

“Okay!” Orochimaru immediately stood up and said, “If this is the case, don’t waste time and go directly to the laboratory at the root.”

…

Hokage House.

Rooftop.

The refreshing wind blows Sarutobi Hiruzen’s imperial robe, with a pipe in his mouth, and captures the scenery of Konoha.

The sound of footsteps came from behind. It was Hokage consultants Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura. The third was a sturdy and round body with the emblem of the Akamichi family on his clothes. It was the Akamichi who rarely appeared in the Konoha high-level.

Shimura Danzō is the only one who is still alive from his former companions.

“It’s him the decision?” Akamichi asked directly.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but think of the way he escaped from Cloud Shinobi at the time. At that time, Master Second Generation put them to the test. Although the situation is different from that of the time, they are all making decisions for the same thing.

“His ability and prestige are enough to support this responsibility.” Sarutobi Hiruzen took away the pipe, spit out a puff of smoke, leaned on the railing and looked at Konoha, which was especially warm in the sun, and smiled: “So it’s him, I think He can only do better than me.”

“Well, that’s it.” Akamichi seemed to have just come to show up. He neither agreed nor opposed, turned and left.

But sometimes, not making a statement is an attitude in itself.

After Akamichi took the wind and left, Mitokado Homura asked without delay: “Then what about Orochimaru? He has always had a loud voice before.”

“Orochimaru is a genius, but he is not suitable for Hokage.” Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around, the afternoon sun shining on him, making his face immersed in the faint shadows in the eyes of the two opposite people, unable to distinguish him at this moment. “Before this, I did think of Orochimaru’s responsibility for Hokage, but I later discovered that his thoughts and actions were radical. This is not the same for Konoha who has just experienced the war. A good thing.”

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were silent when they heard this. Although I couldn’t see Sarutobi Hiruzen’s expression, his faint tone showed disappointment. For Sarutobi Hiruzen, the famous Sannin who taught him was a glory he didn’t have to show off to anyone, but none of the three disciples fully inherited his ideas, but it was where he failed.

Utatane Koharu sighed and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen: “Since you have made up your mind, then we will support you, but Orochimaru…”

“I’ll take care of Orochimaru.” Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly.

“That’s good.” Utatane Koharu nodded, then slightly nodded and turned away.

“Hiruzen, Orochimaru…oh~ forget it.” Mitokado Homura stopped talking, and then left.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was the only one left on the rooftop. He sighed slightly and raised his pipe again, and the lingering smoke rose, concealing his face.

He slowly turned around, facing the Konoha Village in the sun, and let out a long sigh.

Who can understand that he who made this decision is the person with the most complicated mood.

…

When Orochimaru gained something from Third Raikage’s cell research project, the Anbu ninja sent by Sarutobi Hiruzen found him.

Natsuki, who didn’t know about this, was observing the experimental body transplanted with special cells like Third Raikage in the root base.

“Observation records of Experimental Subject No. 3. On the third day, everything was normal.” The researcher, who was so sturdy that it did not look like a mental worker, said, and the assistant next to him quickly recorded it.

“If the observation object is still normal on the fifth day, then we can proceed to the next experiment.” The researcher came to Natsuki and said with a smile, “Master Orochimaru’s technique is really amazing.”

“Hehe, isn’t this the reason why I invited him to join the experiment?” Xia Shu smiled when he heard the words, and then said: “As for the next experiment, Lord Orochimaru should already have plans. When he comes again, you can communicate with him. .”

“Okay.” The researcher nodded after a little thought, “This is indeed more secure.”

For the next two days, Orochimaru did not visit the root base again, and at the same time another news spread from Konoha.
