Hokage's office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen summoned Orochimaru alone.
"Orochimaru, you performed very well in this war!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and spoke highly of it.
"Yes, Sarutobi-sensei." Orochimaru nodded slightly, his expression as normal in the face of the teacher's praise.
After experiencing this battle, he felt a little unmotivated.
The war ended so hastily. What will happen to Konoha when the next war comes? Many familiar people will lose their lives.
The meaning of life should not be this boring fight!
"You should have a good rest during the next period of time." Hiruzen Sarutobi noticed his disciple's mood, but he believed that Orochimaru was a mentally strong person and would be able to adjust his mentality quickly.
"yes."
"After some time, I need you to perform a task." Sarutobi Hiruzen changed the subject.
Orochimaru asked in a calm tone: "What mission?"
"Monitor Danzo." Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly: "The roots are now completely out of the village's control and have become Danzo's personal organization, which must be restricted."
Orochimaru raised his eyebrows, it was these intrigues and political struggles again.
"Yes, I understand." Although he was a little bored, he did not show it and chose to accept it.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded happily, he still had great trust in Orochimaru's ability to do things.
"The matter of the wood escape experiment..." Orochimaru's eyes changed slightly. This was what he was most concerned about.
"Tsunade strongly opposed it, and since there were so many victims, it was decided to stop the experiment after unanimous discussion by the top management." Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly.
Orochimaru frowned slightly: "The experiment can be stopped, but I need the first-generation cells."
"I can satisfy your request, but you must do it secretly and cannot expose it until you get results."
Sarutobi Hiruzen reminded.
Just like the Second Hokage's development of forbidden techniques and research on Uchiha's Sharingan, there is no way to put it on the table, but as long as there are results, the village does not care too much about the process.
He was also telling Orochimaru that after the results were obtained, they would be handed over to the village.
Orochimaru added: "I need some assistants, and Bai Yu will come to help."
"He is your subordinate, and he is naturally at your disposal." Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded with a smile, and then asked: "What do you think of Bai Yu?"
Orochimaru didn't quite understand what he meant.
"Since you think so highly of Bai Yu, why not just accept him as your disciple!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen made it clear.
"But Tsunade..." Orochimaru hesitated.
"You accept him as a disciple, but you don't have to ask him to inherit your inheritance. Bai Yu is affiliated with Konoha Hospital, so he can naturally continue to accept Tsunade's guidance. I think Tsunade will not object to this matter. In addition, if you If you think Chiho and Hideto are good, then take them in together!"
"I see."
...
With the formal alliance of the three kingdoms of wind, fire and earth, life will return to its former peace.
As for how long it can last, no one knows.
Bai Yu took advantage of his free time to secretly conduct research on the white creature he caught last time.
Not long after, news spread in the village that Orochimaru had accepted him, Chiho Uchiha, and Hideto Hyuga as disciples.
Immediately afterwards, the news that the real inventor of [Healing Scroll] was Bai Yu spread out from somewhere and became known to everyone.
For a time, Bai Yu's reputation soared.
Many ninjas viewed him as a future second 'medical expert'.
Through some channels, Bai Yu discovered that his name had been on the reward list of the underground black market, and his head was worth 20 million taels.
Bai Yu mentally greeted all the eighteen generations of his ancestors.
It was promised internal confidentiality! ?
...
Konoha Village, East Gate.
"Lord Orochimaru."
The two ninjas guarding the door bowed respectfully when they saw Orochimaru.
Bai Yu followed Orochimaru and followed him out of the village.
Registration is required for daily entry and exit of Konoha Village. You cannot leave the village at will without a certificate from a high-level official.
However, there are exceptions to everything. Ninjas like the Sannin and White Fang often perform high-level tasks, so they have the right to enter and leave Konoha freely.
The two walked for about half an hour and came to a hill and walked to the foot of the mountain. Orochimaru quickly formed seals with his hands, then slapped the ground. The grass in front of him trembled, and then the ground sank, revealing a hole with a diameter of more than three meters.
Bai Yu looked around and saw that there were steps in the deep cave entrance, leading to nowhere underground.
Orochimaru explained to him as he walked: "This is the laboratory I have set up outside the village. You can use the instruments and facilities here."
"Yes! Teacher Orochimaru." Bai Yu responded. Many things would be much more convenient outside the village.
"The roots will send experimental materials regularly. When I am out, please remember to receive them."
Orochimaru said calmly.
"I don't know what the experimental material is..." Bai Yu's heart moved.
"You can safely use it for spies from the enemy country and prisoners on death row. The village will not make this kind of thing public, so when you go in and out, be careful not to be discovered by others."
Orochimaru reminded that he was very optimistic about Bai Yu's talent, so he was more concerned about it.
"yes."
Bai Yu followed Orochimaru to the end of the steps. In front of him was a deep corridor with no end in sight. There were lamps hanging on the walls on both sides, emitting a faint light.
In his perception, the entire stronghold was covered by a small and medium-sized barrier, and his perception ability was suppressed to a certain extent.
It seems that Orochimaru is also involved in sealing techniques.
There was a room at the end of the corridor. Bai Yu walked in and saw that the space inside was not very large, but it had all kinds of experimental equipment, including a large culture chamber.
In addition to various equipment on the experimental table, the most numerous bottles and jars contain animal specimens, most of which are snakes, and there are also some strange-looking creatures.
Orochimaru came to the experimental table and took out a storage scroll from his arms: "This is the first-generation cell from the third generation batch, but its activity is very low. You can use it to practice, please pay attention to safety."
"Yes." Bai Yu took the scroll and suppressed the excitement in his heart. After making so many preparations, he finally got the first generation cells.
"Wait for me here, I want to go to the root." Orochimaru said, and threw another scroll to Bai Yu: "This is the technique for entering and exiting the barrier."
After saying that, Orochimaru left directly, leaving Bai Yu in the laboratory.
After Orochimaru left, Bai Yu quickly took out the first-generation cells from the scroll.
I saw a fist-sized bottle filled with more than half of the green liquid, which looked crystal clear. At the bottom of the bottle, there was a piece of meat the size of a thumb.
"Eye of Truth", "Sixth Sense", and "Five Senses Enhancement" are activated.
The small bottle emits a powerful energy field.
Bai Yu came to the microscope, used a dropper to absorb some of the green liquid, and placed it on the glass slide. The cell activity inside was terrifyingly strong.
"This is also called low cell activity?!"
Bai Yu picked up the dropper again, fully diluted a drop of solution containing primary cells, and then touched it with his finger.
A slight tingling sensation came from my fingertips.
At the same time, the "Eye of Reality" is rapidly digitized——
[Obtain the cells of super radioactive creatures (1/1), the cell activity and blood purity are low, and meet the standards; quality: ordinary]
Bai Yu brought his fingers up to his eyes, and saw that the skin on his fingertips was slightly green, and felt hard and rough like tree bark.
He used a scalpel to cut off a small piece of hardened skin and placed it under a microscope.
The scene in front of him made Bai Yu's pupils shrink. The hand skin he cut off had become lignified, almost the same as the wood cells inside the tree trunk.
"No wonder none of the participants in the Wood Escape Experiment survived. It's really terrifying!"
"Is the First Hokage human? Does he have the blood of a tree?"
This is somewhat similar to the bloodline sorcerers described in the classics of previous lives.
The first generation of Hokage was like a sorcerer who inherited the bloodline of some supernatural plant creature, but his power was not inherited through bloodline or chakra.
The wood escape experiment is like artificially cultivating "wood escape bloodline" ninjas.
"This is ordinary quality. If the activity is high enough, it may be able to reach excellent or even perfect quality."
Bai Yu secretly thought.
After receiving the Nine-Tailed Cells, his chakra volume did not increase significantly, but he felt that his energy had become much stronger.
"It seems we have to find a way to obtain primary cells with higher activity..."
