Chapter 189 Settle accounts

  Danzo looked directly into the eyes of the chief researcher, and said calmly, "How long will it take to recover?"

   "...Uh, your body has been strengthened by the first-generation cells, and it has undergone great changes. You can't look at it from your usual experience."

  The chief researcher responded quickly, and immediately gave a reasonable reason.

  Danzo withdrew his eyes and said slowly, "You are very good at defending."

  Actually, he has no wife and no children, and he doesn't care what he looks like now. To exchange his mere appearance for real power, this deal couldn't be more cost-effective.

  However, what Danzo needs to worry about is what impact this honor will have on Konoha.

  It is true that he can win sympathy as a victim and put all the blame on him, but if Orochimaru sees something and slanders him for conducting the first-generation cell transplantation experiment privately, it is also a troublesome thing.

   Hearing the unbelief in Danzang's words, the chief researcher said anxiously, "My lord, I'm telling the truth this time."

   In order for Danzo’s operation to be successful, he almost threw his entire family into it. Of course he has no regrets if he fails, but now that he succeeds, he has to start thinking about it.

  Danzang’s research funding is not only unstoppable, but he has to increase his investment.

  The chief researcher doesn’t care whether Danzo is listening or understands. When Danzo is in a good mood, he starts to pour out his bitterness. The focus is on how much effort he has put in to make this operation that should have failed,

"...Danzo-sama, before the transplant operation, your body was old and your chakra was not strong enough, so I used it... blah blah... You know, the reason why your whole body has undergone drastic changes is also because you have achieved perfect fusion at the cellular level. It is a technological breakthrough that even Orochimaru failed to achieve..."

"alright."

  Danzo interrupted the chief researcher's chatter, "Since you said yes, then prepare the schedule for training."

   "...But my lord, the laboratory materials and funds are not enough now."

  The chief researcher lowered his eyebrows and looked pleasing to the eye, "For the success of the operation, too many precious materials have been used to make a nutrient solution for nourishing the body..."

   "You don't have to worry about money."

  Danzo looks like a rich and powerful dog.

  Although the root was destroyed, there was no capital chain outside, and shortly afterwards, he was able to use this as an excuse to make another stroke of money to the third generation.

   "Thank you Danzo-sama." The chief researcher lowered his head and smiled slightly.

  …

  The sky is bright and the red sun is rising.

  After a few days of rushing, Orochimaru and his party rushed back to Konoha Village after finishing the peace talks with Yun Yin.

  Lin Shu galloped back, seeing the gate of the village getting closer and closer, almost everyone couldn't help smiling.

   This trip was safe and sound, and I easily completed an S-level task. It is really a pleasure to get a free reward while improving my resume.

   Shua Shua Shua Shua...

  After a few breaking winds, Orochimaru led the Konoha team and landed in front of the Konoha gate.

  As last time, Orochimaru left trivial matters such as submitting tasks and sorting out action logs to the daily messenger, and rushed directly to the direction of the laboratory.

   But before he had gone too far, he was stopped by a figure.

   Orochimaru stopped on the treetop and smiled,

   "Jiraiya, you are not in front of the gate, but you are waiting for me here specially, what's the matter?"

   "A few days ago, Dodo defected." Jiraiya looked serious, with sharp eyes, staring straight at Orochimaru, "Do you know about this?"

"I know."

  A strange light flashed in Orochimaru's eyes, and he nodded slightly, "I will deal with this matter later."

   "This is no longer your business alone."

   Jilai also shook his head, "Dou attacked the root before defecting, and almost destroyed it all. Danzo has already learned about your itinerary, and now he is in the Naruto room, forcing the old man to judge you."

   "Let's let go of something first, you have to quickly think about what to say next, to deal with Danzo's questioning."

   I don’t know whether Dashewan’s attack on the roots was inspired by Orochimaru, but because of emotion and reason, he can’t watch Orochimaru being persecuted too much by Danzo, even to the point of rebelling against the village.

   "You came here to tell me this?"

  Oshemaru smiled, "Don't worry, after I learned about this, I've already thought about what to say."

   Seeing Dashemaru's normal face, with a calm and breezy appearance, Zilai also heaved a sigh of relief, "Then come with me."

  In addition to reminding Orochimaru, he also shoulders the task of bringing him to the Hokage Room. This is something most people cannot do, and Orochimaru may not necessarily give face.

   While running in the Hokage room, Jiraiya couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and asked,

   "What happened in the bag was not instigated by you after all."

  Oshemaru glanced at him, and asked directly, "Why did I do this? Just to destroy Danzo's roots?"

   Zilai was also startled for a moment, a little speechless.

   The reason for this, he discussed with the old man for several days, but he still couldn't figure it out. Ruo Dashewan was dissatisfied with Danzo and Genbu, and there were many ways.

   No matter how bad it is, you can also cooperate with the old man. Why choose this strategy of "injuring one thousand enemies and hundreds of self-injury"? It's really unwise.

   No matter how you think about it, this is not good for Orochimaru.

   But Sandai and Jirai must also admit that Orochimaru was indeed negligent, and he knew nothing about the defection of his subordinates, but he was somewhat unwilling to accept it psychologically.

  Being preoccupied and full of doubts, Jiraiya followed Orochimaru, and not long after, he came to the center of Konoha Village—the Hokage Building.

   After entering the Hokage room, a serious and solemn atmosphere rushed over, headed by the old man, three Hokage consultants, Nara Shikahisa, the leader of the ninja class, and several wealthy ninjas... almost all of them were present.

   Orochimaru looked around, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, what a grand occasion.

   It is conceivable that this is definitely not the work of the third generation. From his point of view, he is probably thinking of making a big deal a small one, and suppressing this matter.

  But the roots were half destroyed, and Konoha was almost expelled. How could Danzo allow three generations to do such a big thing.

   With such a big disturbance, it is obvious that Danzo wants to deal him a fatal blow, at least to completely dispel his reputation and become a marginal figure.

  But...it just so happened that he also had this idea.

   Orochimaru glanced at Danzo, whose breath was a bit wrong, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

   And when the last two people who came in were seated, the meeting officially began.

   It was not Danzo who spoke first, but Zhuanju Xiaochun, who was the consultant of Hokage. She frowned and said in a deep voice,

   "Oshemaru, a few days ago, your pharmacist rebelled against the village and turned the roots of Danzang upside down. What do you have to say about this?"

  Since the situation was serious, Zhuanzhu Xiaochun's attitude slowed down a bit, and he didn't dare to speak harshly.

  Oshemaru said slowly, "Since the village is rebellious, then send people to chase after him, what's there to say."
