Chapter 263: Mutual Calculation
Danzo sent people to look for Orochimaru's body. At that time, the battlefield was too chaotic. He only knew that the body was taken away by the ninjas of Sound Village. He didn't know who took it away. After that, Sound Village was in chaos. Now it is Genyumaru who has obtained the support of the Daimyo of the Land Country and has become the leader of Sound Village. Danzo needs to spend more time to investigate the specific location of Orochimaru's body.
The soul, the soul cannot be taken out. The body, the body cannot be found.
The two directions Orochimaru tried to restore his strength were both blocked. He read a lot of information from the memories of the Root ninjas. He knew that his old friend Jiraiya had become the Fifth Hokage and that Tsunade was also in the village recently. Orochimaru was not in a hurry to run away. He worked leisurely in the Root and did his own research under the guise of suppressing Hashirama's cells in Danzo's body.
In the central area of the Root headquarters, Orochimaru was studying the solution in the test tube with great enthusiasm. There were no walls or even any furnishings around him. He was working under the close surveillance of many Root ninjas.
Orochimaru would spit out blood and cough from time to time, looking like he was about to die. Danzo stood on a high platform not far away and looked down at him.
The Third Hokage made a bold guess in his notes. He believed that Orochimaru, who was resurrected with the Heaven's Curse Seal, should strictly speaking be a replica. It was a backup plan that he used to store his life information, memories, ninjutsu and other things in the form of chakra in Anko Mitarashi's body before he betrayed the village.
The Third Hokage did not know how his consciousness existed in two places at the same time and how it was exchanged.
The resurrected Orochimaru now is Orochimaru, or it can be said that he is not Orochimaru, it depends on how one defines soul and consciousness.
Danzo had just finished an operation on Orochimaru. His body cells were being rapidly eroded by Hashirama's cells. Every day, a large number of growths grew on his body and had to be cut off one by one. At his age, even with a skilled medical ninja by his side, it would still be very painful.
He asked Orochimaru to transplant a three-magatama Sharingan with the greatest pupil power into his right eye, temporarily delaying the rampage of Hashirama's cells in his body.
As for the transplantation of the Sharingan on the arms, it is very difficult, at least Orochimaru said it is difficult.
He needs to adjust and measure a lot of data, and then go through a lot of calculations and clever chakra meridian designs to achieve balance in the body. He even has to measure the pupil power in the Sharingan. Anyway, there are a lot of difficulties, but they all mean one thing: it can't be done now.
Danzo didn't believe what Orochimaru said at all, but he had no evidence and didn't have the core technology.
He estimated that when Orochimaru recovered his strength, that would be the time when the two of them would turn against each other. If he asked Orochimaru to transplant the Sharingan into him at that time, the price would be very high.
What should I do?
The two are now grasshoppers on the same rope, needing to huddle together for warmth, while at the same time they are still scheming against each other.
Danzo can't let Orochimaru be discovered by the ninjas in the village, and Orochimaru can't let Danzo die from the backlash of Hashirama's cells.
Relatively speaking, Danzo still holds the initiative.
He wanted to control Orochimaru more.
Poison? Curse? Threat? All the methods he could think of had no effect on Orochimaru.
Or put a knife to his neck? Orochimaru insisted that he couldn't transplant the Sharingan on his arm right now, and Danzo had no other choice, so the two of them could only continue to waste time.
In order to avoid giving others a chance to criticize him, Danzo has been actively participating in advisory meetings recently. Whenever you hold a meeting, I will come uninvited, just to take the opportunity to show my presence.
Jiraiya suspected that the Akatsuki organization was in the territory of the Rain Country, but the Rain Country had always been an ally of Konoha Village and would send Genin to participate in every Chunin Exam. The Rain Country was also located at the junction of the three major powers of the Fire Country, the Wind Country, and the Earth Country. Without solid evidence, it was impossible to send a large number of ninjas.
Jiraiya sent Kakashi to the Land of Rain to deliver his own handwritten letter and some gifts to the leader of the Land of Rain, Hanzo of the Salamander.
Kakashi walked around for a long time, just handing over the letter, and didn't even see Salamander Hanzo.
This ninja who is known as the "demigod" is very old now. His peak period was the Second Ninja World War. At that time, he was the one who gave the title of "Three Ninjas" to Jiraiya, Orochimaru and Tsunade. He is a veritable senior in the ninja world and has a big airs. It is reasonable for him not to meet a junior like Kakashi.
Konoha has some speculations, but none of them can be confirmed.
Although Konan was reluctant to talk about the Akatsuki organization, through the battle in this country and some information that Uchiha Itachi had previously sent back, the Konoha Village had roughly grasped the intelligence of the rebellious ninjas within this organization.
Suspected to be Nagato's leader, suspected to be the mastermind behind Uchiha Madara.
The subsequent members of the organization are Uchiha Itachi, Hoshigaki Kisame, Deidara, Sasori, and Kakuzu and Hidan, who have not been seen yet on the Konoha side.
Deidara's information was the clearest. He was a disciple of the Third Tsuchikage, not an unknown person. However, Iwagakure and Konoha were not friends at all. They were a bunch of stubborn people. The letter sent by Konoha requesting a joint investigation and exchanging information was directly ignored by the other party.
No information provided, no help offered, you can say whatever you want, the will of stone cannot be shaken.
The situation on Sasori's side is a bit difficult as well. Gaara of the Sand Village has already gained the support of most of the jonin, but if he wants to successfully take over as the Fifth Kazekage, he still needs to make a final effort, and Gaara cannot provide much help to Konoha.
Ebizo's reply to Konoha was very straightforward: Scorpion and I are related by blood. He is my sister's grandson. He betrayed the village and his grandmother who loved him deeply. You can beat him and kill him as you like. I don't care.
You want to know the weakness of the Hundred Machines Exercise? Sorry, I don't know this secret technique, and I don't know what the weakness is.
The matter of the scorpion ends with me. My sister and I have lived in seclusion for many years. We are so old, so please don't bother my sister, who is prone to death, with our grandchildren's worries.
Gaara is willing but powerless, and Ebizo is capable but not willing, so Konoha Village can only find a solution on its own.
Asuma made a suggestion based on his own fight with Scorpion.
His chakra knife can cut off Scorpion's chakra lines, which is by far the most effective solution to deal with the puppeteer.
It's not that Konoha Village has never fought against puppeteers before, but in the past, the puppeteers from the Sand Village that Konoha encountered on the battlefield were considered qualified if they could control one puppet, and were geniuses if they could control two. If they wanted to control seven or eight, that was a secret skill that could not be recorded in any documents.
Now Scorpion can control more than a hundred human puppets at a time, which is really shocking.
