Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

He appeared relaxed, but inwardly he was groaning.

The trial nearly drained him of all his resources, even forcing him to reveal his trump card, the Kaleidoscope.

However, the rewards after changing jobs are also very substantial.

I didn't see Chapter 90 clearly.

Lightning Hunter.

Hunters originating from the otherworld of Azeroth possess exceptional survival skills, including trap-making, ranged gunnery, and the ability to find and tame powerful creatures as hunting partners, forging contracts with them to gain immense power.

One hunter tamed a powerful lightning creature, and his own flesh mutated, gaining the ability to imbue his hunter companions with lightning power, in addition to his original hunter abilities.

The thunderstorm trap just now,

It's a job skill that Kakashi learned after changing jobs, but it hasn't been leveled up yet, which is why Danzo was able to easily break free from the paralysis effect.

If it keeps upgrading, eventually the entire Death Forest will be covered the moment the thunderstorm trap is triggered.

Kakashi spoke respectfully, but without the slightest hint of backing down, saying, "Lord Danzo, how about we wait until we've reported to the Hokage before discussing anything further?"

"no problem."

Danzo's eyes flashed, and his hand landed on the Baku. The enormous summoning beast turned into smoke and disappeared.

The shadow of a famous tree.

An ordinary ninja would never compromise, but Kakashi Hatake is an elite ninja. Even if he had fallen into a slump after leaving the Anbu and his strength had declined for a few years, he would not be able to defeat him in a short time.

Research data from human experiments...

Danzo sneered inwardly.

He was absolutely certain that even if Hiruzen Sarutobi knew the truth, he wouldn't do anything to him.

At most, they would use this as an excuse to take away some of his rights as the Hokage's advisor.

Wow.

While the two sides were still deadlocked,

A group of figures wearing ANBU vests and masks covering their faces quickly approached. The leader was the Third Hokage, who wore a divine robe. His body appeared small in front of the group of ANBU, but he exuded an aura that suppressed everyone.

Despite being old, he exuded an astonishing aura of chakra, like a sharp golden cudgel.

The raging black flames did not spread further.

The secret agents crouched on tree branches, their hands forming hand seals, and countless streams of water shot into the sky.

Water escape.

Those who could follow the Third Hokage were all elites of the Anbu. Even the black flames, which were hotter than ordinary flames, were quickly extinguished.

The rising water vapor was blown away by the wind-escape techniques released by the ANBU.

"As expected of Hiruzen Sarutobi, he's still going strong despite his age, and his speed is incredible..."

Danzo raised his eyelids,

Although the Forest of Death was far away, the commotion caused by the battle was too great, and it was also a crucial time for the Chunin Exams that the ninjas from various countries were about to take, so the Hokage's arrival was not surprising to him.

"Hokage-sama."

Unlike Danzo, who stood still, Kakashi bowed slightly and greeted Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was rushing over.

"I didn't expect to see you here, Kakashi."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped in his tracks and saw his old friend Danzo, whose clothes were tattered and who had clearly just been through a battle.

And then there's Sasuke, protected behind Kakashi, glaring at Danzo with a face full of hatred.

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could give any orders, the ANBU had already begun skillfully investigating the scene and gathering any remaining information after the battle.

"Hiruzen."

"Danzo, can you explain what happened here?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Danzo with a serious expression and a questioning tone.

Danzo's expression remained unchanged, but his tone was tinged with deliberate anger as he said, "I received a message from Root that Uchiha Sasuke had trespassed into the Forest of Death, attempting to destroy the village's hidden laboratory, steal the village's secret data, and even kill Root ninjas. Then I engaged in battle with him."

"A hidden laboratory, Root ninjas?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes.

A laboratory inside the Forest of Death?

As the Hokage, he had a clear understanding of the village's laboratory facilities, which were generally located in the hospital and interrogation department, conducting experiments related to medical ninjutsu.

In other words, this laboratory was a place that Danzo secretly built.

With his keen political acumen, Hiruzen Sarutobi was not easily swayed by Danzo's few words and could easily analyze the key issues from his words.

"You mean Sasuke Uchiha destroyed the lab and killed the Root ninjas?"

"Yes."

What are the research topics in the laboratory?

"It's just some improvements to medical ninjutsu, and experiments to reduce the side effects of soldier ration pills."

Danzo answered fluently, showing no sign of nervousness.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded without saying anything more, then turned to Sasuke and asked, "Sasuke, is it really as Danzo said, that you attacked the Root ninjas to steal the village's secret information?"

Nearby, an Anbu ninja leaned close to the Hokage's ear and reported, "We found five corpses, which were burned beyond recognition."

They then secretly reported it in code.

Each corpse bore the Tongue Curse Seal, confirming they were Root ninjas.

This corroborates Shimura Danzo's statement that Root ninjas were indeed killed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, awaiting Sasuke Uchiha's explanation.

"Lord Hokage, I have something to report to you!"

Sasuke's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty.

Danzo, as a Hokage advisor, was one of the masterminds behind the Uchiha clan massacre plan, and he was unsure whether the Third Hokage in front of him was involved.

It wasn't until Kakashi gently patted his shoulder that...

Sasuke took out research data on human experiments from his pocket and handed it to the Third Hokage.

"This is……"

Hiruzen Sarutobi flipped through the documents, his expression gradually shifting from serious to angry, before finally turning and staring intently at Danzo Shimura.

Before he could even speak,

Danzo strode over to his side and moved his lips.

The soft sounds entered his ears, causing Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips to twitch, and he abruptly stopped himself from saying what he was about to say.

immediately,

Danzo suddenly attacked, spewing out a stream of wind-style chakra that instantly shredded the document that could serve as evidence.

Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to be caught off guard, belatedly staggering backward in surprise, exclaiming, "Shimura Danzo, as the Hokage's advisor, you actually wanted to destroy the evidence?"

“I sensed that this document contained a deadly poison. I have reason to suspect that Uchiha Sasuke wanted to assassinate the Hokage. I did this to protect the Hokage.”

Danzo gave this reason.

absurd.

Kakashi, standing to the side, could hardly believe that the other party could come up with such a lame excuse.

He looked at the Hokage, but after a brief silence, the Hokage said, "I really didn't see the contents of that document clearly before Danzo destroyed it."

These words were clearly intended to suppress the matter.

Because what Danzo just whispered was,

Human experiments were conducted on the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Danzo was able to afford to build several laboratories, which was certainly not enough from the village's funding alone. Even if it were enough, he wouldn't use it, because that would alert Hiruzen Sarutobi.

That's what he hates most about monkeys.

They take on all the dirty and tiring work, pretending to be virtuous and respectable, and then take all the fruits of their labor when it's time to reap the rewards.

Therefore, in order to avoid being discovered by Hiruzen Sarutobi, he chose to cooperate with the nobles and daimyo of the Land of Fire.

The strong cellular activity of primary cells has profound research value.

Orochimaru continued his research, not only creating Tenzo, which could release inferior Wood Release techniques, but also some other research byproducts.

For example, a medicine that can harmonize Wood Release and Sharingan.

For example, there are potions that can slightly stimulate cell activity to improve the health of ordinary people, seemingly having the effect of prolonging life.

Danzo deceived nobles and daimyo by using a potion that stimulated cell activity, thus securing funding for his continued research on Hashirama cells.

this matter,

Even the noble circles of the Land of Fire are deeply involved. Do you, Hiruzen Sarutobi, dare to expose this?

Chapter 91 The Encounter of the Ninja Clan

"Danzo secretly conducted human experiments, and the bodies of Konoha ninjas are buried at the bottom of this destroyed laboratory."

Sasuke Uchiha hadn't expected this turn of events. He gritted his teeth and said, "If we just lift up the rock, there will definitely be traces left."

There were ANBU ninjas present who were skilled in Earth Release techniques.

All that's needed is to unleash a ninjutsu to uncover the buried laboratory, and the truth will be revealed.

However, without Hiruzen Sarutobi's order, none of the Anbu present moved.

Danzo's eyes flashed with mockery when he heard Sasuke's childish remarks.
