Countless of me are traveling through time at the same time!

Chapter 64: Those Red Eyes Like the Sun
Step into the roots.

Orochimaru couldn't help but be stunned.

Where did this go for me?
The basement, which used to be dimly lit and filled with a gloomy and scary atmosphere, is now spacious and bright with torches of light.

Isn't this a secret assassination department?
Now the arrangement seems to be a hero commendation meeting at the root, which is a bit too open and aboveboard...

"Has Shimura Danzo's rotten brain recovered?"

Orochimaru looked around and thought suspiciously in his heart: "Finally I know how to change that vulture-like image. He is like a poisonous snake in the gutter. How can the people support such a person to be Hokage..."

Orochimaru didn't scold himself, even though he was really a venomous snake in secret, he was usually extremely polite and charming in his dealings with others.

In the original time and space, even after ten years of defection, there were still Konoha ninjas willing to serve Orochimaru.

Orochimaru walked slowly. After the decoration became like this, he couldn't find his laboratory.

"Oh, there's a doorplate? It's much more formal..." Orochimaru looked up and saw a line of words engraved on the exquisite wooden doorplate - "Root Research Department Headquarters, Person in Charge Orochimaru".

"You actually respect others? Interesting..."

Orochimaru smiled. Besides immortality, his favorite thing was to see things change.

Shimura Danzo has changed so much, I want him to see what happened to this old man...

After pushing open the door, Orochimaru let out a breath.

His experimental materials were all there, and there were also many ninjutsu scrolls within sight.

In the past, petri dishes made from ninjas from enemy countries were snatched, but since human experiments were considered taboo, they were usually hidden very deeply even in the roots and could not be seen in public.

But now...

These culture dishes were neatly arranged in rows, with nameplates underneath indicating the experimental projects. The entire laboratory was well ventilated and spotless, giving Orochimaru a vague illusion.

These are formal projects I am working on, right?
"Are you satisfied? I took the initiative to discard the materials used by the villagers in the experiment..." Luke's voice sounded quietly behind Orochimaru:

"As compensation, I have placed the spells about vitality and soul in the Sealed Book. You can check them yourself if you need them."

"As for the missing experimental materials, I'll have the Root capture a group of ninjas from other villages. You can deal with them as you wish."

Orochimaru's face froze.

when…

When did someone appear behind me and I didn't even notice it?

"That's really thoughtful..."

Orochimaru didn't move his body, but turned his neck 180 degrees and looked back at Luke: "If I'm not mistaken, you are the Luke that the old man mentioned, right?"

"Accepting a disciple on behalf of my master, in terms of seniority, you are still of the same generation as my master..."

"Well, it's just a matter of seniority. We can discuss our own affairs."

Luke smiled and said, "The Root has been reorganized now. I have always admired the scientific research ability of Orochimaru-senpai."

"Whether it's funding or resources, let's talk about it. Compared to Shimura Danzo, I know a little bit about ninjutsu development and human body research. Maybe we can discuss it together..."

There was a strange light in Orochimaru's eyes. The power of the Root was actually taken away by Luke!
If Shimura Danzo was still alive, that man would never allow his power to be shared by others...

The question is, how did Luke do it?
Danzo Shimura is an old friend of his Hokage teacher. Although he is not the Hokage, he is very domineering in the village because he is under the banner of the so-called Root of Konoha.

In the past, Sarutobi Hiruzen had deprived Shimura Danzo of the title of Hokage assistant several times, but Orochimaru knew that the power of the Root was always firmly in the hands of the Dark Shinobi.

These Root ninjas are nominally part of Konoha, but in fact they are private soldiers raised by Danzo Shimura.

But what Orochimaru saw along the way was that the Root ninjas were carrying out their tasks in an orderly manner, and there was no abnormality at all due to the absence of Danzo Shimura.

Luke's statement about assigning Root ninjas to capture ninjas from other villages also demonstrated his power of dominance.

"Luke... I have a question, where did Shimura Danzo go?" Orochimaru licked his lips unconsciously, his snake eyes staring at Luke:

"It's really rocket speed. It only took three days for him to go from being an unknown Chunin and Jonin to the power of assisting the Hokage."

"Shimura Danzo is dead." Luke said simply, "I killed him. The Hokage gave the order."

Orochimaru laughed: "It is said that you have inherited the legacy of the Second Hokage... Excuse me, which Hokage gave you the order?"

"Is it the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, or the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen..."

Orochimaru slowly approached Luke, his eyes lit up with excitement, staring straight at Luke: "Or, are you the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama?"

Chakra exploded, and the snake hand was about to emerge from his cuff, making a hissing sound.

If Luke is really Tobirama Senju...

So, isn’t resurrection after thirty years a different kind of eternal life?
This is what Orochimaru desires most!

And a pair of blood-red eyes suddenly appeared in his eyes, occupying his spiritual world like the sun!
The next moment, Orochimaru was placed on the cross. Luke stood beside him with a sharp knife and tapped Orochimaru's fair face with the handle of the knife.

"I am Uchiha, how could I be Tobirama Senju? Senior Orochimaru, I think you are too tired from scientific research and started talking nonsense..."

At this moment, Luke was also a little surprised.

It is said that Orochimaru has weak resistance to illusions, but that is not actually the case.

Even at this moment, Luke could clearly feel Orochimaru's struggle in the illusion. If Orochimaru hadn't been so brave as to look directly into his eyes, and if Uchiha Izuna hadn't helped him to attack...

Trying to immobilize Orochimaru with the ordinary three magatama is nothing but a foolish dream.

The so-called weak resistance to illusion may be a side effect of Orochimaru's excessive soul splitting in the original time and space... After all, the essence of illusion is Yin Dun, and Yin Dun corresponds to the spirit and soul.

"Besides, it doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that we win the current war together for Konoha..."

"There is no right or wrong in ninjutsu. I support the development of forbidden techniques, but you must have a bottom line in mind and not attack people in the village... As for some special resources you want, as long as the credit is in place, it can be discussed."

Luke pointed at the Sharingan: "That's no problem, the Uchiha clan has a lot of reserves..."

Orochimaru's eyes lit up, not caring at all about the embarrassment of being frozen just now.

Face is not important.

What matters is the resources you get!
Or can we walk under the sun and carry out our mission openly in Konoha...

If there is no choice, who would be willing to leave their hometown?
