Chapter 65 One Month Later

Just as everyone in the ninja world was trying to find Danzo and kill him to get a hefty bounty, he died quietly in Amegakure.

Nagato suppressed the news, which prevented the news of Danzo's death from spreading.

The Third Hokage and the Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, were both wondering why Danzo had disappeared without a trace since fleeing Konoha.

They thought Danzo would definitely do something to retaliate, and they had made full preparations, just waiting for Danzo to show his face.

Unfortunately, Danzo did not reappear until the official inventory began a month later.

Today marks the fifth official review.

Two weeks ago, in a bonus video, since Tobirama and the Third Hokage didn't raise any questions, Lin Tian simply filmed a food video, which broadened the horizons of the people in Konoha Village in both timelines.

After watching the video, the leaders of both villages unanimously assigned their subordinates the task of replicating the various delicacies featured in the video as much as possible.

They also wanted to try what these delicious-looking foods tasted like.

And so, while Tobirama and Orochimaru were busy with their research and the rest of the group were busy replicating the food, another half month passed, and today arrived.

In Tobirama's office, before it was eight o'clock, Tobirama quickly reviewed the experimental data in his hands one last time.

"Teacher, has there been any breakthrough in the experiment?"

Kagami and Hiruzen were on their way to the Land of Fire to protect the daimyo, so they were unaware of the extent of their teacher's research.

Seeing that Tobirama-sensei was looking at experimental data, the two of them couldn't help but come closer.

"That's right. Based on the information Orochimaru provided, not only has there been some breakthroughs in cloning technology in the past month, but there has also been some key progress in the research on White Zetsu."

Tobirama replied, then handed the documents in his hand to Hiruzen and Kagami.

"Orochimaru is indeed a rare research talent. If I exchange experimental results with him a few more times, I am confident that I can completely crack the cloning technology within six months."

"As expected of a teacher, that's really impressive."

Kagami and Hiruzen looked at the experimental data in their hands, becoming more and more astonished.

They couldn't understand the detailed data, but they could understand the experimental process and the summary.

In such a short time, Tobirama was able to perfectly clone mice, and according to observations, there were no side effects whatsoever.

I have to say, that's really impressive.

"White Zetsu would be very interesting."

At this point, Tobirama continued with a slightly grave expression, "I actually found my brother's cells in him."

"What? White Zetsu has the First Hokage's cells in them?"

Everyone present was very surprised to hear this.

Through the light screen and what others had told them, they learned just how terrifying the interstitial cells were.

Forty years later, during the Konoha period, countless people died researching Hashirama's cells before a substandard version of Wood Release was produced.

"White Zetsu said that there are many of them."

Yes, after being captured, the White Zetsu was exceptionally compliant, showing no intention of resistance whatsoever. Not only did it cooperate fully with Tobirama's research, but it also answered all his questions, revealing everything Tobirama knew.

This made Tobirama realize that there weren't just one, two, three, or four White Zetsu, but a whole group of them.

Even if a group of White Zetsu with Hashirama cells is weak, it is still a terrifying force.

And let's not forget that White Zetsu possesses an incredibly difficult-to-defend stealth ability.

If it weren't for the teleportation function of the light screen, Tobirama wouldn't even know that he had such a thing on him.

"Fortunately, the existence of White Zetsu is not entirely bad news. At least, the cells of the eldest brother have been weakened in him. Once the cloning technology is fully mature, I can extract the cells of the eldest brother from him and clone the body of the eldest brother."

Of course, the cloned body would be much weaker than the original body of Hashirama Senju.

Fortunately, Tobirama also had ways to make up for this weakness.

In short, facing the threat of Madara Uchiha, Tobirama will wait until his older brother is resurrected before confronting him head-on.

For now, just pretend you know nothing and try your best to stall for time.

"I wonder who we're taking stock of today."

In the 61st year of Konoha, in the office of the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya, two new people arrived.

They are Orochimaru's disciple: Uchiha Sasuke.

And Naruto Uzumaki, a disciple of the Fifth Jiraiya.

"Perverted Sage, Third Hokage, what are you doing here so late? And what's that arrogant Sasuke doing here too?"

As soon as he entered the office, Naruto started chattering incessantly, which annoyed Jiraiya to no end.

Sasuke is much better.

He was already cold-hearted, but he became even colder after becoming Orochimaru's disciple.

He usually doesn't speak unless absolutely necessary.

Firstly, it's about maintaining a cool and aloof persona.

Secondly, with Naruto Uzumaki in Team 7, he doesn't even need to speak to find out what he wants to know; Naruto will ask the questions for him.

Just like before.

Sasuke was also curious about why Orochimaru had summoned him.

He became even more curious when he saw Jiraiya and the Third Hokage in the office.

"Now that you two have become my and Orochimaru's disciples, you are entitled to know some things about the village."

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Actually, this was just one of the reasons that Jiraiya and Orochimaru had sent the two of them here.

Another, even more important reason, is that the light screen revealed that Naruto and Sasuke's future status would be higher than Orochimaru's.

These two don't look like researchers at all.

The reason they are of higher status than Orochimaru is mostly because of their strength.

Since they were able to grow stronger than Orochimaru even in a world without the light barrier.

In this world, if they train two people in advance, is there a chance that they will become stronger than the original two?

"Naruto, Sasuke, just watch quietly and don't make a fuss."

After saying that, Jiraiya stared intently at Naruto.

Clearly, he was referring to Naruto.

"What do you mean, you lecherous immortal?"

Upon hearing this, Naruto objected.

Jiraiya of the Five Dynasties period was clearly underestimating him.

"See, aren't you just yelling and shouting now?"

"I"

Naruto was speechless and could only cross his arms and sulk.

Seeing this, Jiraiya shook his head and turned to the Third Hokage, saying, "Old man, is Tsunade still unwilling to come back?"

Orochimaru has returned to Konoha, and Jiraiya, the Fifth Hokage, naturally wants Tsunade to return as well.

After he became the Fifth Hokage, he and the Third Hokage sent out the Anbu to find Tsunade.

We recently found Tsunade's trail, but the results weren't ideal.

Tsunade doesn't want to come back.

"Yes."

Speaking of Tsunade, the Third Hokage's face was full of bitterness.

He thought that if he had agreed to Tsunade's medical reform proposal back then, Kato Dan and Nawaki might not have died, and she wouldn't have been so disappointed in the village, preferring to live outside the village rather than come back.

"Alright, it seems I'll have to go and invite him myself."

Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage gave Jiraiya a strange look.

He didn't know where Jiraiya got his confidence from, believing that if he went to find Tsunade, she would obediently return.

"Your current position as Hokage is not suitable for you to leave the village. Let me go instead."

After taking a drag of his cigarette, the Third Hokage made his decision.

"Old man, you..."

"My mind is made up, so don't say anything more."

"Alright."
