Chapter 188 Kakashi's Path

  Kakashi's heart beat heavily. Hearing what Orochimaru said, he closed his eyes slightly, tears rolling down his cheeks.

  The depression and entanglement that had accumulated for nearly ten years seemed to dissipate with tears, and the whole person's temperament became a bit more energetic.

  It is very painful to deny the person you respect the most, especially if this person is still your father.

  You can't complete an instant change, but have to go through a long process. If you don't pay attention, emotional bubbles will emerge from nowhere.

   What makes people painful is not piercing them, but after piercing them, they will continue to emerge from the bottom of my heart.

  Let you wonder what the meaning of this repeated behavior is.

   Now, finally, you don't have to do that anymore.

  The sky was twilight, and the morning light was floating in the mist. In the jungle, Kakashi let out a sigh of relief, and his eyes became a little clearer.

  After clearly recognizing his father's choice, he no longer dwells on the past and can move forward.

  Oshemaru witnessed Kakashi's change, the corners of his mouth slightly raised,

   "How, after learning about Shuo Mao's choice, what do you think now?"

   "Are you going to take revenge on the village? Although I can't find a specific prisoner, it is obvious that the old man and the silent people in the village have a responsibility for everything they say."

  Kakashi shook his head, "Father carried out his will. If I do this, it will be an insult to him."

   "You don't have to think that way. It doesn't make sense to do what Shuo Mao did, so you must inherit it."

  Oshemaru smiled, "If you follow this logic, what I'm doing now is also a betrayal of my parents."

   "In the final analysis, it still depends on your own thoughts. If you really have complaints, you don't have to suppress them."

  Kakashi was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Orochimaru to say that.

   But complaints?

  Kakashi clutched his chest, momentarily speechless.

  The village seniors who have been corrupted by power, the villagers who are willing to be sacrificed... If there is no complaint, there is no doubt that they are deceiving themselves.

   But so what?

  Can he still take revenge on these people?

  They didn't really do anything wrong. Although the third generation used sacrifice as a means, it was not for himself. Konoha Ninja sacrificed his life for the sake of the village.

   Can I avenge these people?

   In the end, evil results were incurred, not because they were doing evil, but because of different ideas.

   Idea... Kakashi thought about it.

  Just now, Master Orochimaru said that the village has changed because of his father's death. After hearing this, he felt emotional and couldn't help himself.

   But according to what he saw and heard, this change...is it really as big as he imagined?

   Before and after the change, which one is the best for the village?

  …

  Kakashi has been reflecting and questioning for the first half of his life, but now, like inertia, many questions pop up in his mind.

   But he may be a genius ninja, but in these respects, he is not even considered a novice, and almost never thinks about the roads of the village with the thinking of a manager.

   After pondering for a moment, he asked Orochimaru the question in his heart.

  “The one that suits you is the best, there is no need to choose one or the other.”

  As always, Orochimaru gave a broad answer, he shook his head,

   "What Shuo Mao resisted was not sacrifice, but giving up thinking and taking sacrifice as a matter of course."

  Actually, the meaning of this matter is not only that.

   Orochimaru doesn't care how many ninjas in the village die more or less.

   But if they all developed like this Danzo's Gennin, rotted from the root, and accepted their fate as tool people, he would feel very troubled.

  High-quality leeks should not only grow passively, but also actively create value.

   Considering that he is as good as a lamp god, the ninja in the village should also play a subjective role, or at least develop in this direction.

   Just like Kakashi in front of him.

  “The opposite of sacrifice is the best of both worlds. The latter is naturally better, but it’s hard to do.”

  Oshemaru frowned slightly, and said with a smile, "Implementing one's beliefs is not just something that can be said with a single mouth, it requires real strength."

   "Although I admit Shuo Mao, there may not be a better way among them."

   "Don't give up thinking, indulge in self-moving, do you understand?"

  Kakashi nodded emphatically.

   "It's almost time, let's go back." Orochimaru nodded slightly, jumped onto the treetops, and rushed towards the camp.

  Kakashi followed closely behind.

  After untying his knot, he found a new goal, and his life has been able to move towards another open world.

  …

  A dozen miles away from the root ruins, in an underground laboratory.

  When Kakashi was transformed, another person got what he had been pursuing all along, and his whole person was completely new.

   click click click...

  The transparent glass cover of the nutrient tank shattered, and the dark green solution overflowed. A thin, dry figure walked out of it.

   "Congratulations Danzo-sama, the first-generation cell transplantation was successful, how do you feel now?"

  The chief researcher smiled and looked excited, as if he didn't see the price of the success of the experiment, or rather, he didn't dare to see it.

   Danzo shook his left fist. This arm, which had been damaged and shrunk due to past battles, is now solid and strong. His whole body seems to have returned to the most "vigorous" moment when he was thirty years old.

  Young and vigorous...

   This word flashed in his mind, and Danzo couldn't help but smiled while covering his face.

   The low laugh quickly turned into a big laugh, a wild laugh, until he opened his arms, venting his ecstasy like no one else was there.

  Suppressed for decades, so long that he himself was numb, just insisting on it mechanically, forcing himself not to have any doubts.

   Now, the first ray of dawn finally ushered in. Although the roots were destroyed, his combat power returned to the peak, surpassing the already old Sun Zhan.

  Danzo covered his face with his hands, the excitement, surprise, and joy were so strong that it was hard to restrain.

   Genin who was present at the scene saw Danzo's performance, and his heart was deeply touched. Now that the roots are half destroyed, Danzo, as the leader, can stand up, which is undoubtedly a booster.

   "..."

   After venting hysterically for a while, Danzo stood up and went into the bathroom to wash his body.

  At this time, in the mirror, an unfamiliar face came into view. His eye sockets were sunken, his muscles were dry, and his whole body was devoid of flesh, almost like a skeleton covered with a layer of skin.

   Until then, he clearly realized what price he had paid for the success of the experiment.

   "Hoo..."

   Danzo clenched his fists and let out a long breath. After leaving the bathroom, he went straight to the chief researcher.

   Seeing Danzang's menace, the chief researcher's face remained unchanged, but his legs couldn't stop shaking, and he said anxiously,

   "Master Danzo, this is just a normal postoperative reaction, and it will recover after a period of cultivation."
