Orochimaru stayed in the laboratory for a few more hours after Bai Yu left. He didn't leave until it was completely dark.
However, he did not return to the village. Instead, he took advantage of the night and hurried in the opposite direction, stopping about twenty miles away from the underground laboratory.
brush!
An ANBU ninja wearing a mask and a cold temperament appeared on the tree trunk in front of Orochimaru.
He jumped up, came to Orochimaru, bowed and said:
"Lord Orochimaru, Lord Danzo has been waiting for a long time. Please come with me."
Orochimaru nodded slightly and followed the ANBU deep into the jungle. Then passed through the secret passage and entered the underground.
Compared with Orochimaru's "shabby" underground laboratory, the underground space here is very huge, with a whole group of buildings, just like a large stronghold with complete facilities.
It was hard for anyone to imagine that Roots' headquarters would be established outside Konoha.
The environment here is just like Danzo's behavior, mysterious and strange.
It was obviously not Orochimaru's first time here. He followed the ANBU ninja and came to the bottom room with a calm demeanor.
"Lord Danzo, Lord Orochimaru is here." The ANBU ninja came to the door and saluted respectfully.
"Yeah." Danzo's deep voice came from the room.
The ANBU ninja opened the wooden door and then stepped back.
Orochimaru walked into the room and saw Danzo sitting cross-legged with a tea cup on the wooden table in front of him, looking leisurely and calm.
"Duanzo, what do you want from me again?"
Orochimaru had no intention of chatting over tea, so he spoke coldly.
"Orochimaru, pay attention to your attitude." Danzo frowned slightly: "Without my support, do you think you can defeat Sakumo and Tsunade and become the fourth generation?"
"Even if you don't care about the position of the Fourth Hokage, you still care about the First Generation Cell, right?"
Danzo continued.
"What do you mean?" Orochimaru's face changed slightly.
Noticing Orochimaru's reaction, Danzo narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"Due to the opposition of the Jonin and the lack of results in the wood escape experimental plan, Hiruzen decided to completely terminate this experiment, even if it is a secret experiment!"
Orochimaru fell silent. It seemed that it was because he had devoted all his energy to researching the regeneration technology of severed limbs in the past two years, so he never succeeded in the wood escape experiment. The third generation lost his patience.
It's just that the technology for regenerating severed limbs has just made a breakthrough, and he still needs to conduct repeated trials to continuously improve the success rate of the experiment.
In addition, Orochimaru not only wants to cure the rope tree's legs, he wants to use the first generation cells to improve the cell activity of the rope tree. In this way, the first generation Naruto's powerful wood escape ninjutsu in the ninja world is likely to be used in the rope tree. reappeared on his body.
It is absolutely impossible for him to give up now.
Danzo continued: "Don't even think about trying to convince Hiruzen, it's useless."
"Are you causing trouble?!" Orochimaru's face darkened.
"I just gave Hiruzen some suggestions. He is the one who makes the decision. Even if you can convince Hiruzen, there are not so many death row prisoners in the root dungeon for you to continue the experiment. It is also very expensive to catch spies. Kung fu.”
Danzo held up the teacup with a normal expression.
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru's golden pupils shrank suddenly, powerful chakra spurted out from his body, and surging murderous aura swept across all directions. The floor under his feet suddenly cracked inch by inch, and the cracks extended like spider webs.
Although Orochimaru has devoted himself to experiments in the past two years, he has not relaxed his practice. His strength has improved greatly compared to two years ago.
Swish, brush, brush!
The four root ninjas noticed the movement and immediately used the teleportation technique to appear next to Danzo and protect him.
Facing Orochimaru's shocking murderous intent, the four of them tensed up.
They were all relatively powerful Jonin, but facing Orochimaru, they felt that there was little chance of winning if the four of them joined forces.
Is this the strength of the Sannin? !
Danzo brought the tea cup to his mouth, took a sip, and said calmly:
"Stand back, don't come near without my order."
"Yes!" The four Anbu did not hesitate at all to Danzo's order, and immediately used the teleportation technique to leave the room.
Orochimaru withdrew his chakra, but he was actually not prepared to take action. After all, even if it was one-on-one, he was not sure of defeating Danzo, not to mention that this was Root's base camp.
He was just angered by Danzo and couldn't hold it back for a while.
"Among the three ninjas, this is the first time I've seen you angry. It seems you really value the rope tree."
Danzo said with great interest.
"What do you want me to do?" Orochimaru regained his composure.
"Continue the wood escape experiment! It must be conducted in secret, and the results of the experiment must be shared with me first."
Danzo stated his conditions.
Orochimaru raised his eyebrows.
Danzo continued: "As long as you agree, I can continuously supply experimental materials, and I can also provide you with permission to read forbidden arts. You have to know that in Konoha, some forbidden arts are not even recorded in the Book of Sealing. , only I can help you."
"I understand." Orochimaru was silent for a moment and agreed to Danzo. He had no other choice.
The largest prison in Konoha is in the root, where all death row prisoners and felons are held.
Without Danzo's help, even if the third generation did not stop experimenting, Orochimaru would not have a continuous source of materials.
Orochimaru can kill his enemies without hesitation, but if he is asked to directly capture innocent civilians for experiments, he cannot do this.
Danzo's face relaxed: "Also, Hiruzen asked you to monitor the root's actions..."
"I know what to do." Orochimaru interrupted Danzo and turned to leave.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Danzo said calmly.
...
In the following time, Bai Yu discovered that Orochimaru often went out, and even the progress of the experiment was affected.
In the face of his inquiry, Orochimaru acted cryptic, as if he was hiding some secret.
Bai Yu had no choice about this.
But this did give him more time to practice.
Originally, Bai Yu expected that he would not be able to meet the mental requirements for promotion until February or March next year. As a result, after concentrating on practice, he only needed two months and met the promotion requirements in mid-October of the same year.
...
at home.
Bai Yu sat cross-legged on the bed and completed the tempering of the 36 will runes in the conscious space.
Break through bottlenecks easily.
"Is this the meditation method for senior warlocks?!" Bai Yu looked surprised and felt pleasantly surprised.
Both promotions were extremely smooth, with no bottlenecks at all.
You must know that in the previous life, even in the apprenticeship stage, there were many wizards who were injured or even died due to failed breakthroughs.
It seems that the various promotion conditions and the collection of cells have given him an extremely solid foundation, and every promotion is a matter of course.
Based on this calculation, as long as he collects promotion materials according to the standards, the promotion of the more dangerous first-level warlock will probably go smoothly.
Even for super-talented genius wizards, the success rate of being promoted to a formal wizard is only 50%, and if they fail, the consequences will be more serious.
[Promoted to third-class apprentice]
[Acquire talent spells - Super Brain Deduction]
As Bai Yu was promoted to third-class apprentice, an extremely complex spell model was imprinted into his soul, and he could master it directly without practicing.
He actually awakened another innate spell!
"Super Brain Deduction": The information storage capacity of an ordinary person's brain is equivalent to 10,000 libraries containing 10 million books. The brains of intelligent extraordinary creatures are more developed. By building the main structure model, 100% use all the information stored in the brain to continuously deduce calculations and analyze screening possibilities; active construction, passive deduction (not upgradeable)
At this time, the new content of the ancient Yin Duo Warlock's book in the blue light of Bai Yu's soul space quickly appeared.
Using mental power to enlarge the text, the content inside made Bai Yu's heart tremble.
"Bloodline Warlock... and... Soul-Calling Warlock!? What is this?"
