Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 124 Zero Tail

In the root base.

"You've come, Zhiyi."

Danzo, with his back to Shii, slowly wiped the sharp blade in his hand.

"Danzo-sensei, I'm back. I had a good time on the battlefield this time. I have a lot of inspiration for the Bio-Armor, and I believe I will be able to cultivate even stronger Titan Bio-Armor soon."

Zhiyi stood aside and sighed.

Shiki has indeed gained a lot this time; Orochimaru's Soul Reaper technique is now quite complete.

The data that Shiichi obtained through the backdoor in the Guyver armor was almost immediately usable.

Furthermore, it also drew Orochimaru's attention to the Pure Land. With some further preparations, they could then carry out the Fire Dragon Burning the Granary.

The other people's bio-armor also showed faint signs of transformation.

Just like Tsunade, whose powerful life force emanates from her Bio-Armor, Minato's Bio-Armor constantly adapts to space, making it easier and smoother for him to use the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Zhiyi smiled brightly, like an old farmer seeing the fruit in his orchard about to ripen.

The better the development of the bio-armor, the more Shiichi will gain. It has already begun to show results, and everything is thriving.

"Also, the Hokage told me to stay in the village, saying that other villages would do anything to capture and kill me, and that I should stay in the training department to continue developing the Titan suit."

"Hmph! The Training Department was originally set up for you, but that guy Hiruzen, still harboring ulterior motives, set up an inspection team, and what's worse, he wants to kick me out!"

"Doesn't he know that roots are essential? Without roots, even the most lush tree cannot withstand the onslaught of a storm, leaving only a broken trunk and withered leaves!"

"But it's good that you're in the training department. You'll be better able to stop Hiruzen's plot, and the Titan armor does need your continued research and development."

Danzo recalled the feeling of piloting the giant armor and fighting against the Gedo Statue, and he found it incredibly addictive.

Titan armor is amazing!

"Danzo-sensei, I have a new idea about Titan armor, and I might need your help."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

Danzo showed an interested expression.

"The new Titan armor involves Tailed Beasts, and I hope Danzo-sensei can give me even a tiny bit of help."

Danzo paused in wiping his blade, turned around, and said:

"It's difficult. Hiruzen will not allow the Nine-Tails to fall into the hands of Root, not even for research. That's his taboo."

Danzo's words implied, "Don't even think about it, it's impossible."

Although Danzo often whispered in Hiruzen's ear that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki could only exert their greatest power in the Root, and that entrusting the Nine-Tails to him would not disappoint him.

But in reality, Danzo knew perfectly well that Hiruzen would never hand over the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to him.

They both understood each other very well, and Hiruzen knew clearly Danzo's obsession with the position of Hokage.

If Danzo possessed a giant armor and the Nine-Tails, Hiruzen was very worried that Danzo might launch a coup.

Let's say something like, "The Hokage position is given to whoever has the strongest army and the most powerful troops!"

Danzo was aware of Hiruzen's opinion of him and was very dissatisfied with it.

Even with the giant armor and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, would Danzo disregard the friendship between the two?

He... of course he'll give it a try.

After all, he's the Hokage!

Danzo would not give up as long as there was even the slightest chance.

"Teacher, what I need is not the Nine-Tails, but some information about the village's research on tailed beasts, preferably information about artificial tailed beasts."

Zhiyi subtly revealed his needs.

Upon hearing this, Danzo glanced at Shii. This disciple must have his own little secret, but it wasn't a big deal.

As long as the Titan armor can be completed, nothing else matters.

"Actually, the village has been researching the Tailed Beasts since the first generation. After Tobirama took power, he began to study the Tailed Beasts in depth, including the creation of artificial Tailed Beasts."

"However, later on, because the probability of the artificial tailed beasts going berserk was too high, and once an artificial tailed beast went berserk, it would be a disaster. Therefore, it was stopped after a few attempts."

"However, if you are interested, I will give you the information."

Danzo walked toward the root section's archives, while simultaneously showing his will to follow.

Shiki followed Danzo with a cheerful smile; Danzo-sensei was as easygoing as ever.

See, we've got the information.

In the root data room.

Danzo took out the data on the artificial tailed beasts and handed it to Shiichi.

"Artificial tailed beasts are more troublesome than you think. Just take a look; there's no need to study them in depth. Your most important task right now is to study the Titan armor."

"The root base has been established into a complete culture pool, but there is still something missing in the culture pool, which makes me very dissatisfied."

"You must try to cultivate a new giant bio-armor as quickly as possible and then send it to the Root base."

"Yes, Danzo-sensei. This time, the Titan armor will be more powerful than the one you used last time, and it will be ready very quickly."

Zhiyi happily accepted the information about the artificial tailed beast.

Once I got the materials, I opened them up briefly and found that they were indeed about zero tails.

"Orochimaru, how have you been lately?"

Danzo hadn't forgotten Orochimaru's promise to transplant Sharingan eyes into him.

In his mind, the Sharingan and Wood Release were the strongest, and the Giant Armor was also good, but it was still a little lacking.

Zhiyi thought back for a moment and concluded that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Orochimaru should still be working on perfecting the Soul Reaper or trying to establish a Pure Land.

"Orochimaru-sama returned to his base as soon as he got back to the village and is conducting research."

"Yes, it's time for Orochimaru to fulfill his promise. I don't want to wait any longer for the Wood Release and Sharingan transplant."

After leaving the Root base, Zhiyi arrived at the secret base in Konoha.

This was meticulously crafted by him, surrounded by Zhiyi's insects and various sealing techniques.

Privacy and security are still guaranteed.

Shiki opened the scroll containing data on the artificial tailed beasts obtained from the Root, and it was indeed about the Zero-Tails.

Zero-Tails is not one of the One-Tail to Nine-Tail, nor is it part of the Ten-Tails. Rather, it is a chakra aggregate created by imitating the Tailed Beasts.

Its essence is to generate a huge aggregate of dark chakra by relying on the darkness in people's hearts, and at the same time feed on people's negative emotions.

Zero-Tails can obtain chakra from people's negative emotions, thus achieving a kind of infinite chakra similar to that of a tailed beast.

However, because Zero Tail is born from negative emotions and feeds on them, it is very unstable and prone to going berserk.

However, it's not to say that Zero-Tails is completely useless. Shiichi is quite interested in the technique of gaining chakra from negative emotions.
