Chapter 78: Orochimaru: Danzo, please don’t come to me again. I’m afraid that Qi-kun will misunderstand me. (Ch 78)

Uchiha Kai: “Senior Orochimaru, this is the seed of the illusion world. Basically, as long as the distance between you and me is no more than ten kilometers, you can use the seed to enter the Great Library and study by yourself.”
“In addition, I know that Orochimaru-senpai likes to do scientific research, so I will fund Orochimaru-senpai in the name of me, Minato, and Kushina to build a top-notch personal laboratory for him in the ninja world.”
After listening to this, Orochimaru showed a genuine smile of joy and expressed his gratitude to Uchiha Kai again.
No one asked why the funding was not provided in the name of the Uchiha clan, because this question was too low-level – although the Uchiha clan and the village have a very good relationship now, as the most proud disciple of the Third Hokage and a representative figure among the three ninjas, if Orochimaru accepted funding from the Uchiha clan to build a personal laboratory, it would be an extremely important political trend, and might even directly cause a shock to the entire Konoha.
At that time, arguments such as the Uchiha conspiracy theory and the Uchiha threat theory will emerge again.
However, Uchiha Kei’s operation was different. Although everyone with a discerning eye knew that this investment was led by Uchiha Kei, he brought in Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki to provide a reasonable reason. To the outside world, it could be said that this was Minato Namikaze’s support for Orochimaru, indicating that this was a cooperation between representatives of the younger generation and representatives of the younger generation.
Of course, Orochimaru doesn’t really care about these political issues. What he really cares about is the investment itself.
As a scientific research fanatic, Orochimaru has always been troubled by the problem of insufficient funds. After all, scientific research itself is a bottomless pit, and Orochimaru has no business talent and cannot monetize his research results. This has led to his research being constrained – even if they are the three ninjas, they can earn a lot of money through missions, but if they put all the mission fees into scientific research, they won’t even make a buck.
The main reason is that Sarutobi Hiruzen, as his teacher, really does not provide enough support in this regard, which makes Orochimaru quite depressed.
Recently, Orochimaru actually wanted to join the Root, because the old boss Danzo Shimura said that he would provide a lot of funds to support Orochimaru’s research, and was even willing to let Orochimaru study Hashirama’s cells, which was an irresistible temptation for Orochimaru.
However, due to the fact that he is a direct descendant of the Hokage, Orochimaru is still considering it – there is no other way. If he really joins the Root, it means parting ways with the Hokage department, which in a sense is a betrayal of his teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Even though the political atmosphere in Konoha is at a very low level, it is still an extremely serious political event.
Therefore, Orochimaru is still struggling and considering, and he also has hope for his teacher – maybe in a while the teacher will be able to provide a lot of funds and support his research.
In a sense, Orochimaru during this period was quite naive, and history has proven that Orochimaru’s expectations were ultimately dashed.
When the Third Ninja World War broke out, the Third Hokage not only did not support Orochimaru’s research, but instead transferred all the funds to the war because of the war. He was completely unaware of the importance of scientific research to the war, and his thinking was completely stuck in the traditional Warring States period.
This extremely conservative and traditional thinking caused Orochimaru to completely explode with dissatisfaction, and he eventually joined Danzo and became a member of the Root.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru had a classic case of people with different philosophies and different paths making it impossible for them to work together. At that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen must have felt very disappointed, thinking that he had been completely betrayed by his trusted disciple.
Perhaps for this reason, when selecting the Fourth Hokage in the future, Sarutobi Hiruzen fully supported his grandson Namikaze Minato instead of his once most proud disciple Orochimaru.
Of course, that is already the ‘history’ of the original work, and now with Uchiha Kai’s promise and financial support, Orochimaru just wants to say: “Who is Danzo? We are really not familiar with each other, and please don’t look for me again. I don’t want Kai-kun to misunderstand.”
Although it is a pity that we cannot study Hashirama cells, compared with the Great Library, Hashirama cells are not very attractive.
Late at night, after Uchiha Kai left, someone else came from Orochimaru’s family.
The masked Root ninja came to the window of Orochimaru’s house and said in a light and commanding tone: “Orochimaru, Danzo-sama is looking for you.”
In response, Orochimaru just smiled coldly and told the other person to get lost.
Well, I was just complaining before, but now I’m turning the complaints into actual actions.
Orochimaru was not afraid of offending the old master Danzo Shimura. After all, before he defected to the other side, he was a well-known Hokage, the most proud disciple of the Third Hokage, and was regarded by many as the first-line successor to the Fourth Hokage.
For a person like Orochimaru, if he gives Danzo the respect he deserves and calls him “Sir”, what’s wrong with not giving him the respect and just calling him “Old Den”?
Does this old Deng still dare to attack him?
Do you really think that the three generations of indulgence in him have no limits?
Faced with Orochimaru’s lack of respect, the Root Ninja was stunned. He obviously did not expect Orochimaru to do this. He immediately became unhappy and threatened Orochimaru immediately.
So, dozens of seconds later, the Root Ninjas with bruised faces and broken masks limped back to report to Danzo.
When Danzo Shimura learned of Orochimaru’s response, he immediately fell into a state of irritability and fury again, and it seemed that because he had been irritable and furious too many times recently, his already weathered old body finally couldn’t hold on anymore. He suffered from high blood pressure and almost fainted on the spot.
In the end, it was the loyal Root ninja who quickly got some blood pressure medication and rescued Old Deng.
Just after going through all this, Danzo Shimura seemed to have suddenly aged ten years. He became listless and felt deeply that his body was no longer able to function.
“No, we must start research on Hashirama’s cells immediately, otherwise my body won’t be able to hold out for many more years.”
“I still have to continue to protect Konoha and make contributions to Konoha. I absolutely cannot fall down now.”
“Yes, I cannot fall now. The inherently evil Uchiha clan is becoming more and more arrogant, while Sarutobi is becoming more and more cowardly. There is only endless compromise with the Uchiha clan.”
“If this continues, Konoha will be controlled by the Uchiha clan sooner or later. Sarutobi will definitely regret it, and he can’t do anything. The only one who can protect Konoha is me!”
Muttering to himself, as if completing self-hypnosis, Danzo’s originally listless expression actually became cheerful again.
“That bastard Orochimaru can no longer be counted on. He actually joined Uchiha Kei after meeting him. I thought Orochimaru and I were of the same kind and could become my right-hand man. But now it seems that Sarutobi’s disciples are still Sarutobi’s disciples. They are full of compromise and cowardice at heart. We must find someone else to lead the research on Hashirama’s cells.”
As he spoke, Danzo asked his men to bring over information on people in Konoha who had research and development talents, and to search through it carefully.
Soon, Danzo locked onto the information of a ninja named Hiruko.
“Although he is not very strong and his scientific research talent is not as good as Orochimaru’s, he is much stronger than other people in Konoha. This kind of weak little person is also easy for me to control. He will not be beyond my control like Orochimaru. Very good, he is the one.”
So, according to the original history, Hiruko, who was about to defect and become a runner because he felt ignored and was full of jealousy towards the Sannin, had his fate suddenly rewritten on the eve of his escape.
However, this rewriting of fate seemed to be in a tragic direction, because Hiruko was already secretly researching forbidden techniques. When the Root Ninja came to his door, he thought his secret had been exposed and was ready to fight the Root Ninja on the spot.
Unfortunately, this guy overestimated his own strength. As an unlucky guy who was still killed in one move by the “Konoha Genin” even after he had mastered his future research, he was easily suppressed by the Root Ninja before he had mastered his magical powers. His secret was also known by the Root.
When Danzo Shimura learned about the situation, he exclaimed on the spot, “Wow!” This Hokuro was simply an excellent talent tailor-made for the Root. It would be a complete waste of talent if he didn’t join the Root. Moreover, with the secret of his research on forbidden techniques in hand, he could directly grasp and control it.
Therefore, in the end, Tuan Zang put a bunch of restrictions on Beiluohu, and he became a scientific research dog with no freedom and no salary.
And all this was accomplished in just one night, and was done quite covertly, fully demonstrating the professionalism and stealthiness of the Root when dealing with the little ninja who had no background or backing.
When the sun rose the next day, everything in Konoha was back to normal, as if nothing had happened.
Of course, it’s not true that nothing happened. Since Danzo knew that Uchiha Kai went to find Orochimaru, the Third Hokage must have known it as well.
It was just based on his trust in his disciples and his optimism about Uchiha Kai that the Third Hokage did not take the initiative to investigate the matter. He believed that if those two people really wanted to do something, they would definitely tell him.
As I said before, before being backstabbed by his good disciple Orochimaru and good buddy Danzo, the Third Hokage was the one who believed most in the bonds of Konoha and the Will of Fire. After all, he kept saying it every day and had brainwashed himself.
However, this time Orochimaru and Uchiha Kei did not disappoint Sarutobi Hiruzen. Although it was impossible to tell the third generation about the spiritual network world and the great library, the construction of a high-end laboratory could not be concealed.
Therefore, the next day, Uchiha Kai took the investment plan and handed it to the Third Generation, and directly funded Orochimaru in the name of the three of them according to the plan.
After receiving this plan, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned. After all, the pedantic and conservative Third Hokage was quite resistant to doing scientific research.
In fact, it was not like this for three generations. After all, their teacher was a research fanatic. How could he be conservative about doing scientific research from the beginning?
The key point is that he and his good friend Danzo Shimura once studied Hashirama’s cells based on the information left by Tobirama Senju, which directly caused a lot of tragedies.
This incident, which could be considered a serious scientific research accident, left a deep psychological trauma on Sarutobi Hiruzen, making the old man extremely conservative in scientific research.
So, now that he sees that they are going to do scientific research and build a state-of-the-art laboratory, Sarutobi Hiruzen is doubly resisting it both psychologically and physiologically.
However, when Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the first phase of scientific research goals under the plan, he hesitated for a moment and felt that it was not impossible to engage in scientific research.
Because the first scientific research goal is to develop an aphrodisiac without side effects.
