'Da da da! '
Along with the sound of crisp footsteps approaching from far away, a dim light 'floating' in the void gradually became clear in the field of vision.
And approaching together with the footsteps was the long shadow reflected on the wall.
Suddenly, the visitor stopped in front of a plain stone wall, then raised his long, empty left hand and pressed it on a certain position on the wall.
Suddenly, a dull "bang bang" sound sounded throughout the dim corridor. At the same time, the flat wall that reflected the slender figure suddenly moved slowly to one side, and there was a brighter sound. Light slanted out from within the stone wall.
Gazing intently, in this originally ordinary corridor, there was actually a simple stone chamber of about twenty square meters dug and hidden!
The facilities inside the stone chamber are very simple.
A bed, a table, a chair, and a bright incandescent lamp make up the whole thing.
If we look at it in more detail, there is a crutch and an old man sitting in a chair.
He seemed to be reading something under the lamp.
Upon seeing this, the light in the visitor's hand was extinguished. His dark purple tongue slowly licked his upper lip, and then he spoke with a strangely destined expression:
"Oh, it seems you have received some messages too."
"As expected of the former Danzo-sama, even if you leave the village, even if you stay in this dark underground, the news of the ninja world cannot be hidden from you."
The sudden greeting made the old man's stiff state loosen a little, and the note he held in his hand was crushed into pieces by the invisible wind element in his palm.
He turned his cheek, and there was no sadness or joy on his gloomy face.
But the visitor with a joking attitude could clearly detect an inexplicable desolation from the other person's single pupil.
This is nothing like the Danzo Shimura in his impression!
"Have there been any cats around here lately?"
Looking at the old man in his field of vision who almost looked like a young man, the old man didn't answer anything but asked directly.
"cat?"
Upon hearing this question, the feminine man's expression suddenly froze, and there was an inexplicable smile in the corner of his eyes.
"I didn't expect that after so long, Danzo-sama would be so leisurely and want to raise a cat?"
"But it's really a pity. I only have snakes as pets here."
"But if Danzo-sama feels lonely here, I will send my subordinates to a nearby village to catch one for you to keep you company."
However, he didn't seem to understand the connotation of the words, and instead said some mocking words.
After all, the person in his field of vision is the famous Shimura Danzo!
He has now fallen into the same situation as himself.
This situation is really interesting.
Hearing this, the old man with his right eye and arm wrapped in white bandages did not show any anger. Instead, he looked seriously at the feminine man in the field of vision and added:
"I'm asking if any cats have appeared near your base in the past few days."
"With your temperament, this place should be heavily guarded."
Such further questioning made the visitor's face look a little unnatural, and the smile that overflowed in the corners of his eyes also subsided, and was suppressed by a touch of substantial coldness.
"As for cats, this is not an inaccessible wasteland. It is normal for bobcats and wild cats to appear occasionally."
He looked back at the scenes in his memory, his golden vertical pupils slanting with a dangerous light.
"In the past few days, it seems that wild cats have appeared, but they have not come close, let alone sneaked into this base with a human atmosphere."
"You mean that this stronghold is already under the surveillance of a certain force, and that the other party is still able to control the Ninja Cat's lineage?"
He slowly added, and the words he blurted out were even more cold.
He has always been the secret oriole behind the scenes, how could he be manipulated and monitored by others?
"A ninja cat from the empty area?"
"Uchiha clan?"
"It's a little more interesting."
After just a brief thought, the man with a feminine face had accurately guessed something, and he became excited. His dark purple tongue involuntarily licked his upper lip, as if he had met a very interesting person. The prey is average.
'throat. '
Accompanied by the harsh sound of the wooden stool, the strange old man who was sitting upright slowly stood up, picked up the wooden crutch leaning against the wooden table, and then moved towards the visitor, no, He was heading towards the door of this stone chamber.
"What's wrong? Lord Danzo."
"Are you scared?"
"Is that why you want to escape?"
"It seems that you are really old and no longer what you were before."
Seeing this, the gentle-looking man made a teasing sound.
The title is respectful, but the words used are not polite at all.
Faced with the words of his former boss, the old man still did not show any anger. His old cheeks were as calm as the skin of an ancient tree that had weathered the weather.
'Boom, boom, boom. '
Accompanied by the slightly dull tapping sound of the cane, he arrived in front of the former and paused for a moment, with an obscure and scrutinizing eye flowing from his exposed left pupil.
He seemed to be struggling with something in his mind.
I'm wondering whether I should use the [Better God] in my right eye to control a little snake that has grown up and has a rebellious attitude.
But in the end, I don’t know whether it was because of the recent overuse of his pupil power, or for some other reason, but he did not choose to do this. He just said with an elder’s seriousness and vigilance:
"You should know that Onoki was defeated."
"Hey, that guy is as old as you, and even more decayed."
"Failure is also within common sense."
Looking at the former's obscure eyes and listening to the other's warning, Orochimaru did not show much fear.
"However, human beings are really fragile. They have already declined so much in just a short period of time."
"Exhausting every possible means to pursue the eternity of life and constantly improving one's body is the most important thing to do."
"In some ways, we're a lot like..."
At this point, his voice paused slightly, and his eyes fell on the white bandaged arm of the old man in front of him. There was an unspoken evil smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
After all, many experiments in the past were conducted by the former and himself.
It can even be said that without the support and cover of the former, his early scientific path would not have been so smooth.
As for the similarity, they are both able to use their own bodies as experimental subjects in order to achieve their own goals.
"But in our furthest pursuit, we are in opposite directions."
"You are too rigid about that village. Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, who are regarded as the gods of the ninja world, will disappear due to the withering of life, let alone a ninja village constructed from countless weak life forms?"
"What will this world look like in a hundred years or a thousand years? Will the existence of Ninja Village be necessary? Isn't this something we should pursue and witness?"
"Hey, Danzo-sama, would you like to put aside your obsession with celebrating the New Year and explore eternal life with me?"
"Just like it used to be."
"I think the wooden escape experimental body should be useful, right?"
"That's the gift I left for you."
Orochimaru talked eloquently, and his golden vertical pupils burst with a strong sense of excitement, as if he were facing an experimental vehicle that was extremely interesting to him! !
Moreover, he can feel it, he can feel it!
The old man in front of him was a little different from the last time he saw him ten years ago.
The most direct difference is the opponent's right pupil.
What secrets are hidden there?
'Suck slip. '
The long dark purple tongue once again brushed the upper lip of the feminine man. He must be extremely excited at the moment!
However, his excitement was abruptly interrupted by the sudden appearance of several strange smells.
The vertical pupils shrank slightly, and a dangerous aura slanted down.
In the blink of an eye, four ninjas wearing standard ninja uniforms and white masks stood quietly in the dark corridor.
They dive like cats and clouds without leaking any breath.
"So, your answer is no?"
After just glancing at the ninja team that looked like the living dead, Orochimaru withdrew his gaze.
Such a little power cannot deter him.
However, the strangely dressed old man in front of Yu Zhi still did not directly answer the other party's words, but said to himself:
"Orochimaru, considering that you have done something for me, I will teach you the last two things: Ohnoki's defeat does not represent his personal defeat, but the defeat of the entire Iwagakure Village. "
"The Mangekyō Sharingan possessed by Uchiha Ara is not an ordinary Sharingan."
"If you just despise that boy, you will eventually end up like your teacher, with nothing to do and slowly waiting to die."
After saying that, Danzo Shimura walked past this former subordinate with that stern face, and disappeared into the darkness without looking back.
The four ANBU ninjas who appeared like ghosts followed suit and left, leaving the man with the feminine face alone under the light of the stone room.
[Kaleidoscope Sharingan. 】
[I didn’t expect that guy also has the Mangekyō Sharingan. 】
He will never forget the moment when he attacked Itachi Uchiha. When they looked at each other, everything they saw was illusion!
And he can be sure that Itachi did not use all his strength against him at that time, and that was far from the full power of the Mangekyou Sharingan!
That's why he is so obsessed with it.
What's more, the lifespan of this body is coming to an end now, and it is time for transformation.
The legendary kaleidoscope has infinite possibilities, a kaleidoscope that belongs exclusively to the Uchiha clan, and he also wants to have it once!
However, Shimura Danzo's vigilance played a certain role in him after all.
[Iwagakure Village was defeated. 】
【How did you lose? 】
[One person alone is still the strength of a clan. 】
Not only him, not only Shimura Danzo, many people and many forces have such a question in their hearts.
But I'm afraid, apart from the instigator named Uchiha Ara, only the Iwagakure Village itself, which urgently closed its gates, knows what happened in the northern border of the Land of Fire a few days ago.
Orochimaru suddenly became quiet when he thought of this.
It's so quiet!
The whole person is like a poisonous snake dormant in the darkness.
Moreover, he thought of one more thing.
That was the self-imposed ban of Kirigakure Village three years ago, which seemed to be a foreign policy made after the conflict with the junior named Uchiha Ara.
Including the sudden rise of neighboring Yuno Country and the strange attitude of Yunyin Village, all clues seem to point to the former.
His pupils flickered, and he increasingly felt that there was some substantial and useful information in Shimura Danzo's words.
"Lord Orochimaru, that guy is too disrespectful to you now. Do you need me to help you deal with him?"
"After all, he is now a traitorous ninja, not a superior Konoha assistant!"
The silence in the corridor was broken by a calm voice.
The speaker was hidden in the darkness, and the only thing that could be distinguished by the dim light was the reflective lens on the bridge of his nose.
"No, not needed yet."
"The thing that came here also hides some other ulterior secrets."
"I think those ninjas are not the original members of the Roots. I can't smell the dark smell that belongs to the Roots on their bodies."
"If you go there, you will probably become a puppet like them."
Orochimaru said meaningfully as he woke up from his thoughts.
Just when they looked at each other, he felt how troublesome the old guy was, and that extreme threat came from the other party's right pupil that was wrapped in a bandage!
That feeling gave him the illusion that he was returning to the Akatsuki organization and looking at Uchiha Itachi.
You might as well make a bold guess. Shimura Danzo may have obtained and transplanted something in the ten years since he left the village, such as the Sharingan of a certain Uchiha tribesman, or even the Mangekyo Sharingan!
However, even if he guessed this, it didn't generate much interest.
The first is that there is uncertainty, and a hasty war may not be worth the gain.
The second is that the old fox only has a single pupil, which is incomplete.
The third and most important point is that he is eager to get a body that can continue to transform, not the old body that has withered and was forcibly transplanted with other people's eyes!
"Then, I will arrange the personnel to prepare for the next guest."
The visitor did not question his master's judgment, and after receiving the reply, he bowed and prepared to leave.
However, it was still stopped.
"No,"
"If Iwagakure Village has been defeated, then these hastily developed experimental bodies alone may not have any effect."
"Otherwise, Danzo's old fox wouldn't have heard some rumors and run away in panic."
"What's more, I need that guy to be a goon in the upcoming grand plan."
"I think he and his family will definitely not refuse the plan to destroy Konoha."
"Okay, let's leave those innocent experiments of the Wind Demon clan to play with that guy, and the rest of us will go to the Kingdom of Wind with me."
"I think Luo Sha can't wait any longer."
"After all, this is the best time for him to revive Sand Hidden Village!"
Well, the best time ever.
'Suck slip. '
