Chapter 68 The Legendary Intercolumnar Cell

   "The intercolumnar cells... Oh, I didn't expect that the village had done so much research on this in secret."

   Looking at the large amount of data in the secret laboratory, Satoru couldn't help being secretly startled.

   These materials are behind the consumption of a lot of resources and the lives of volunteers.

   "Hehe... Satoru, are you surprised?"

  Orochimaru looked at these materials with bright eyes: "It's really easy to come by!"

   "So Orochimaru, all the materials ordered by the three generations of Hokage have been sent. I hope you will not disappoint him."

  Satoru turned his head to look at the person wearing the peculiar animal mask who sent the information.

  Hokage directly under the Anbu.

   "I didn't expect you to send the materials... Danzo, I'm afraid it's not very willing, right?"

  Orochimaru was obviously very familiar with this masked Anbu, Satoru thought for a while, and in retrospect, this guy should have come to meet Orochimaru's white-haired Joinin when he was just graduated from Anbu because he was able to join Anbu.

  【Tsk, so what's the use of this mask? Acquaintances can see it. 】

  Satoru silently complained, and the conversation between Orochimaru and Shirai Anbu fell into his ears:

   "Speaking of which, I originally wanted you to be my research assistant, but you joined Anbu, and I don't have the ability to ask for someone from the teacher-especially now, your tasks are heavier."

  Orochimaru is a little regretful, and seems to recognize the ability of the other party.

   "Haha... don't make fun of me, Orochimaru."

  The white-haired Anbu waved his hand with a regretful tone:

   "In terms of talent, the three of you and I are too far apart, and in terms of research... your disciples are so good, that's the limit of blood!"

  White-haired Anbu turned to Satoru, and then turned back to Orochimaru:

   "The decision of the three generations of Hokage-sama has caused some dissatisfaction with Danzo-sama. You still have to be careful."

   "The teacher is Hokage..."

  Orochimaru sneered:

   "Danzo's ambition, does he think I don't know? He has tried to win me over once or twice, but I'm not interested in being controlled by him."

   "Is it the control method of the 'root' department... Captain Sarutobi is also quite critical of this."

  White-haired Joinin was silent for a moment, then nodded:

   "Then, I'll take my leave."

   "If you need volunteers, I would like to apply for it... With your ability, maybe you can really succeed in research?"

   waved his hand, and the white-haired Anbu walked away while Orochimaru shook his head and chuckled.

   "Captain Sarutobi? Mr. Orochimaru, is that the son of the third Hokage?"

  Satoru noticed a person mentioned by Shirogane Joinin.

   "That's right," Orochimaru nodded, "This generation's Anbu chief is the son of Mr. Sarutobi, but I heard that the teacher is old and strong..."

  Orochimaru's expression was a little strange: "Lord Biwako seems to be pregnant again."

  “…”

  Wu found that the change in Orochimaru is really not small, can you imagine Orochimaru joking and complaining?

   Although the current Orochimaru is still the same as usual, in front of those who are close to them, it occasionally changes.

   "Okay, Satoru, time is running out, let's take a look... That old Danzo don't care about him for the time being, whether it's me or you, it's not something he can easily move."

  Orochimaru has been calling Satoru to start looking up the information, but Satoru knows exactly what his situation is.

  Blood follows the limit, that's nonsense.

   It’s just that the principle of casting magic is different from that of ninjutsu.

   However, the scientific research ability of the mage is not inferior to the ninja who specialize in scientific research.

   Every qualified mage is a scholar.

  Among the eight factions of arcane magic, there is also one that studies life——

   Necronomicon!

   However, as a strictly forbidden academic faction, necromancy is only spread privately and in a small area.

   But would Medivh care about the Kirin Tor ban?

   Obviously not.

   How did Karazhan come to be full of skeletons and ghosts...

   So, not much, but the Book of Medivh does have a necromancy part.

   However, necromancy is largely an application of arcane power over the power of death.

   But in the ninja world, the power of death (dead spirit), like the power of light (holy light), the power of shadow (void), and the power of chaos (fel energy), did not manifest.

   Even the forbidden technique, reincarnation of the dirty earth, is strictly an application of the phenomenon of the soul, which belongs to the category of nature and life and summoning.

   Therefore, in necromancy, the part of biological research is actually the knowledge needed for enlightenment.

   Removed the part of the power of death, and Satoru couldn't make a self-conscious skeleton in the ninja world.

   However, the part of biological research will be a rare and valuable knowledge if it is used for medical treatment.

   With this knowledge alone, Satoru is already confident in the study of intercolumnar cells.

   "I'm afraid the old Danzo won't give up easily. It's true that we can't move us, but that doesn't mean he won't use other means."

  Satoru stepped forward, and the white-haired Anbu also said just now that Danzo was very dissatisfied with the arrangement of the three generations of Hokage Sarutobi, and with this guy's habit, it would be strange if he didn't do something.

   "And, let's talk first."

  Satoru looked at Orochimaru seriously:

   "I don't like that dead old man Danzo. You probably know the reason, so I don't want to go to him with the research results I participated in."

   "Orochimaru, teacher, don't carry me behind your back and cooperate with Danzo..."

   "Danzo... Hehe, in a way, he and I are rivals."

  Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils turned, put down the information in his hand, and turned to Wu with interest:

   "In my current status, do you think I would be satisfied as a genius?"

   "I'm also a little interested in Hokage...Isn't it a matter of course? Even Rope Tree and Takuma are aiming for this."

   "When I become Hokage, thousands of ninjutsu and mysterious forbidden techniques in the village will be open to me..."

  Orochimaru pointed to himself, and spread his hands again:

   "There is no problem with the ideals of young people...but Danzo, his goal is to become Hokage."

   "It's just that Sarutobi-sensei probably won't give him this chance... His age probably won't allow him to wait forever."

   "And the research on intercolumnar cells is an important part of his getting the capital to 'wait'."

   "You mean, the huge vitality contained in the cells between the columns?"

  Thinking that when Mr. Guo Wang served as "Agent Hokage", he was still full of black hair in his 70s, and he became strong when he was old, and Satoru understood one of the roles of the intercolumnar cells.

   "That's right..."

  Orochimaru raised the information in his hand and sneered:

   "So when Sarutobi-sensei almost wanted to give up the research, Danzo would strongly object and make the research continue."

   "I've been paying attention to this matter for a long time...but being able to intervene directly is because of you, Satoru."

  Orochimaru turned serious, he nodded seriously to Satoru:

   "Then in the lab, you are my colleague...not my student or disciple."

   "You have absolute control over your research results... I will explain this to Sarubi-sensei."
