"You mean, all three people I sent to invite Shiranui Sho have disappeared without a trace?"

His voice was icy as he questioned the Root ninja kneeling before him.

"Lord Danzo, that is correct."

The Root ninja bowed deeply and replied in a deep voice.

"There are no signs of a fight?" Danzo asked, frowning.

"no."

"...Step down."

Danzo suppressed his surging anger and waved for his subordinates to leave.

"Yes!"

The Root ninja obeyed the order and left. With the sound of the door closing, only Shimura Danzo remained in the dark office.

"Shiranui Sou!"

Danzo Shimura gritted his teeth and uttered the name slowly and deliberately, his eyes filled with a sinister rage.

He hadn't expected Shiranui Sho to be so bold.

The three Root ninjas were personally sent by Danzo, whose orders were to invite them first, and then forcibly "invite" them to Root if they refused.

Therefore, he anticipated from the beginning that a conflict might break out between the two sides.

Of course, he also took into account the opinions of Jiraiya and the Third Hokage, so he always used the word "please" in his title.

His goal was to persuade him with reason and emotion, and to recruit him as a subordinate.

This is not surprising, after all, Orochimaru is the Third Hokage's beloved disciple and now works under him.

As for Shiranui Sho, he himself did not have any hostility towards her.

First of all, he never suspected that Shiranui Sho was responsible for the destruction of the Wood Release experiments.

Secondly, he never suspected the other party of "Eagle's" death.

After all, the mission report clearly stated that the Two-Tails went berserk, causing chaos at the Cloud Village base, and that "Wagyu" was presumably killed by Cloud Ninja.

This argument does hold up to scrutiny.

Although he harbored no hostile intentions, his desire to bring Shiranui Sho under his command was not entirely pure.

What drives him to do this is greed!

He had long coveted Shiranui Sho's bizarre and powerful dark bloodline limit.

The dark bloodline limit, if it could be transplanted into oneself...

In addition, there is the relationship between Shiranui Sho and Uchiha Hikaru.

His true purpose was to manipulate Shiranui Sho as a pawn, thereby controlling and coercing Uchiha Hikaru, and firmly keeping him under his control.

Whether it's brainwashing Uchiha Hikaru as a tool or directly seizing his Mangekyou Sharingan, the benefits are enormous.

As for what happened afterward...

All it takes is to pin a charge of secretly betraying the village on Uchiha Hikaru, and Danzo Shimura will be seen as a meritorious person who protected Konoha from the evil Uchiha by preventing such a disaster!

He planned very well, but unfortunately, he failed miserably at the very first step.

In his mind, how could he possibly fail to "invite" Shiranui Xiao, who had only recently been promoted to Jonin, when he had dispatched one Jonin and two Chunin?

But the fact is that the three men he sent didn't even make a ripple; they completely disappeared without a trace.

He knew that this matter was inextricably linked to Shiranui Sho, but he couldn't find a single piece of evidence!

Danzo narrowed his eyes, forcibly suppressing the raging fury surging within him.

He has one good point.

No matter how angry he is, it won't stop him from coming up with another idea from one hidden agenda.

In the cold, dark room, he lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, a cold glint in his eyes, revealing a completely new Yin Zhizhong.

A sinister smirk crept up his lips.

Ten minutes later, a slender figure bowed and entered.

She was a young female ninja, with a head of frizzy, dark hair.

The girl knelt on one knee, quietly awaiting instructions.

"You recognize this, right?"

Danzo, expressionless, casually tossed a document aside.

The girl quickly picked up the documents on the ground in front of her. After scanning the documents with her eyes, her pupils suddenly contracted, and her aura instantly froze.

The girl's reaction was exactly as Danzo had expected.

He sneered, "It seems you still remember this person. Then things will be much easier."

"Kill him. That's your next task."

Danzo's words were like ice spikes, piercing deep into the girl's heart.

Her body trembled, and her limbs instantly turned icy cold, as if she had fallen into an endless ice cave, and even her breathing became sluggish and heavy.

"What's wrong? Can't you do it?"

Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly, a sinister look flashing across them, his tone icy.

"That's alright, but he killed three of my men, and the base is short-handed. We can just replenish them from the orphanage."

"If those orphans don't pass the root test..."

He paused slightly, his cruelty and malice undisguised: "Perfect timing, my experiment is in need of a group of test subjects."

The girl suddenly raised her head, her eyes, hidden behind the mask, fixed on that sinister face that resembled a demon.

Her fists clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white, and after a struggle in her heart, she could only dejectedly loosen them.

She lowered her eyes and agreed, her voice icy: "Lord Danzo, I will definitely complete the mission!"

Chapter 138 Experiment Results! Physical Energy Supplement!

Several more days passed, and Orochimaru's experiment finally made progress.

A slender white shadow swept past the window. Shiranui Sou's eyes shifted slightly, and she precisely locked onto the white snake that was flicking its scarlet tongue.

This had become a tacit agreement between him and Orochimaru.

Shiranui Sho nodded slightly to the white snake, and in the next instant, she activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.

In a flash, the light and shadow shifted, and he stood firmly in the cold and dark laboratory.

Ahead, Orochimaru stood still, a glint of fury on his pale face, his burning desire clearly visible.

Beside him stood a child, bouncing around.

He had long brown hair, a round face, a wide smile, and exuded youthful energy.

Upon seeing Shiranui Sho suddenly appear, he was clearly taken aback, staring at her with wide eyes in surprise.

"This child is..."

Shiranui Sho was slightly taken aback. After looking the child up and down a few times, she recognized his identity.

"That's right, he's the child I mentioned before, Yu Tai."

Orochimaru licked the corner of his lips slightly and slowly opened his mouth.

Yu Tai comes from a race that can manipulate the weather.

At the same time, he is also the most capable person in the family. When he cries, it rains; when he is happy, it snows; and when he is angry, purple lightning appears.

But this heaven-defying bloodline limit was more like an unsolvable curse to him.

According to Orochimaru, his weak body was simply unable to bear such an overwhelming talent, thus he was physically weak and would not live long.

but……

A hint of surprise flashed in Shiranui Sou's eyes.

In his eyes, the bouncy child in front of him showed no signs of being near death.

Orochimaru wouldn't have spoken carelessly before, which means...

"It seems that Orochimaru's experiment has finally yielded results."

Shiranui Xiao smiled slightly.

"After all, Xiao Jun did something earth-shattering in order to advance the experiment."

Orochimaru chuckled, "If we don't produce some results soon, how can we live up to Xiao-jun's efforts?"

Speaking of which, Orochimaru was quite satisfied with his partner, Shiranui Sho.

When Danzo encounters a bottleneck in his experiments, the other party will only urge him on.

When he collaborated with Shiranui Sho, the latter, in order to obtain the forbidden technique needed for the experiment, went and killed the Third Kazekage with a sword.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's golden snake eyes flashed with a playful smile.

At this moment, no one in the ninja world who was shaken knew that the person who killed the Third Kazekage was actually just a boy.

Orochimaru turned to the side, raised his hand, and took a delicate, sealed reagent tube.

The tube contained a clear, pale green liquid, shimmering with tiny, sparkling lights. As it was gently shaken, countless tiny bubbles slowly rose to the surface, exuding a strange sense of life.

"Chiyo's invention of the Reincarnation Technique is indeed unique, and the part about the transfer of life force gave me great inspiration."

Orochimaru gazed at the reagent in his hand, a hint of pride in his voice, "Through this period of experimentation, I have successfully transferred and concentrated the physical energy contained within that magical flesh. The final result is what I have in my hand..."

"Physical energy supplement!"

Orochimaru raised the reagent, speaking slowly and deliberately, a burning light blazing in his eyes.

"It seems you are very satisfied with the experimental results."

Shiranui Sho's gaze fell on the reagent, and she asked with a hint of curiosity, "How effective is it?"

"This child is among the first beneficiaries of the physical energy supplement."

Orochimaru licked his lips, but noticing that Shiranui Sho's gaze suddenly turned dangerous, he immediately added something.

"Of course, the child voluntarily became a test subject for the physical energy supplement after the safety and effectiveness had been verified through experiments."

"Now, his body, which was once overwhelmed by his naturally powerful bloodline limit, has been strengthened to the point where it can support his talent."

"A life that would have ended this year can now enjoy a peaceful old age like an ordinary person, and is even stronger than that of an average person!"

As Orochimaru finished speaking, Yota's eyes flickered slightly, and he took a step forward and knelt down in front of Shiranui Sho.

Under the surprised gaze of Shiranui Sho, he spoke loudly to Taitai.

"Lord Shiranui! Lord Orochimaru said that my serious illness could be cured thanks to you! Yuta is willing to pledge his loyalty to you!"

"Get up."

Shiranui Sho nodded slightly, accepting the pledge of loyalty without hesitation.

Orochimaru had mentioned this to him before.

And Alabasta, which he controls, also needs the power of Tai.

Orochimaru watched this scene quietly, and only continued speaking after the two had finished their conversation.

"Next, we will see the true core value of this drug."

Upon hearing this, Shiranui Sou's eyes narrowed.

Their initial purpose in conducting experiments was not to cure diseases and save lives.

His real purpose in approaching Orochimaru and starting a collaboration was to find a way to get rid of the tedious eating process and efficiently extract the physical energy from the sea monster meat.

After all, he's not like Garp or Luffy, who can eat heartily and quickly fill a pile of empty plates.

Relying on consuming energy from the flesh of sea monsters requires spending a lot of time on eating. Shiranui Sho wanted to simplify this process and improve efficiency.

"The physical energy supplement concentrates a large amount of extracted energy into this small vial. At the same time, by utilizing the principle of the self-reincarnation technique, its absorption efficiency and conversion rate are far higher than that of eating."
