From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

Danzo's request for Sasuke Uchiha from the Third Hokage tonight was genuine; it wasn't to kill him, but to observe and study him closely, attempting to uncover the secrets of the Uchiha bloodline and the Sharingan.

Although he had many Uchiha corpses and Sharingan, the only living Uchiha in this world were the rebellious Uchiha Itachi and the village's Uchiha Sasuke.

The dead are ultimately different from the living.

As for Itachi Uchiha's threat to Danzo before leaving that he would sell out the village's information to the enemy country if he dared to harm Sasuke?

Danzo remained completely calm, and even felt a little amused.

In the original timeline, Konoha faced the threat of annihilation three times, and was even destroyed once, but he never showed up.

Moreover, Danzo himself had countless acts of colluding with other villages and selling information. How could Itachi Uchiha's threat possibly threaten Danzo?

What you're selling is Hiruzen Sarutobi's Konoha information. What does that have to do with Danzo Shimura?

idiot!

Danzo sneered inwardly, slowly glancing at his subordinates who dared not even breathe, and said calmly, "I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible, otherwise..."

Danzo didn't finish his sentence, but they probably all understood.

Now that his root organization has been disbanded, he doesn't have many capable subordinates. However, if anyone dares to be perfunctory in carrying out his orders, he doesn't mind killing a few people as a warning to others.

"Yes! Lord Danzo, we will do our utmost!"

A researcher who was the team leader immediately stood up and replied loudly.

"Ok!"

Danzo nodded slightly, and just as he was about to say something more, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

"Lord Danzo! A secret document!"

A Root ninja wearing a mask walked in, knelt on one knee, and presented a secret document with both hands.

Danzo took the secret document, opened it, and after reading it for a while, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He muttered to himself:

Orochimaru?

Chapter 27 Power! I need power!

A few days later, late at night, in a desolate mountain area somewhere in the Land of Fire...

The night was dark, and a bright moon hung high in the sky. Its pure light shone through the thin clouds onto Danzo Shimura, who was leaning on his cane and had a blank expression.

It was already December, almost winter, and the cold wind kept howling in our ears across the vast wilderness.

This venomous snake actually contacted me on its own initiative?

Since Orochimaru's human experiments were exposed a few years ago, and he defected from Konoha to become a rogue ninja, the cooperation between the two ended. Orochimaru seemed to have mysteriously disappeared and never took the initiative to contact him.

They're definitely plotting something again!

Danzo Shimura sneered inwardly. Although he knew exactly what Orochimaru was up to, Danzo Shimura still came. After all, his body was deteriorating day by day, and his research on the Sharingan and the First Hokage's cells was making no progress.

And Orochimaru?

Although Shimura Danzo hated and feared this venomous snake very much, he had to admit that this venomous snake was indeed very talented and gifted!

So he came!

Time passed second by second, and Orochimaru still hadn't appeared, but Shimura Danzo wasn't in a hurry and continued to wait quietly.

Just as a drifting cloud obscured the moon in the sky, a tall, slender figure finally appeared at the foot of the mountain.

Orochimaru is here!

Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly, focusing his gaze on him and observing his every move.

The newly arrived Orochimaru paid no attention to Danzo's observation. In just a few leaps, he appeared before Shimura Danzo and said in a hoarse voice, "I want the Sharingan in your hand!"

Something must have happened to this venomous snake!

When Orochimaru appeared in front of Danzo, he keenly sensed the changes in Orochimaru.

Orochimaru used to be a cunning and scheming snake, unfathomable, but one who would be bitten back if you let your guard down.

And Orochimaru now?

Danzo saw a deep sense of defeat in him and a madness in his eyes, like a hysterical wolf.

No, it should be called a stray dog!

Upon realizing this, Shimura Danzo smiled and, instead of answering his question, asked in return:

How did you know I have the Sharingan?

Orochimaru sneered and said sarcastically, "Stop pretending, Danzo. What you and the old man did might fool others, but it won't fool me!"

"Hehe..." Shimura Danzo chuckled and nodded in agreement, "Okay!"

"That was quite satisfying." Orochimaru licked his lips and asked in a dangerous tone, "But, Danzo, what is the price?"

Orochimaru understood that the two had always been in a relationship of cooperation, mutual exploitation, and mutual suspicion, with no affection whatsoever between them.

Danzo agreed so readily, he must have something to ask of him.

"The price?" Shimura Danzo unwrapped the bandages on his body, revealing his half-wooden arm.

"I need you to make me an arm that can perfectly transplant the Sharingan!"

Orochimaru glanced at his arm, then without further ado, agreed, "Sure! But you must first give me some Sharingan for research."

How many pairs do you need?

"Ten pairs!"

Danzo Shimura was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "I'll give you twenty pairs, but some must be used on my new arms!"

"Hehe...it seems you're getting a little impatient."

Orochimaru chuckled and said meaningfully.

"However... it's a pleasure doing business with you!"

"Hmph!" Shimura Danzo glanced around and said indifferently, "This way of meeting is never appropriate. Give me your contact information, Orochimaru."

“Of course.” Orochimaru licked his lips, and a pure white snake crawled out of his sleeve and handed it over.

Danzo Shimura took the white snake, examined it carefully for a moment, and after realizing there was no danger, took out a mysterious scroll from his pocket and sealed the white snake inside.

Then, using a spell similar to reverse spirit communication, the scroll vanished instantly.

"I'll bring the things to you when I get back."

After saying that, Shimura Danzo turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared. It turned out that Shimura Danzo was just a shadow clone all along!

"That old guy is still so cautious."

Orochimaru made a sarcastic remark, but then seemed to realize something, and his face instantly turned extremely gloomy.

"Uchiha Itachi!"

Orochimaru said through gritted teeth, and anyone could hear the deep hatred in his voice!

Uchiha clan territory, residence of the clan leader.

"Current time: December 9th, Konoha Year 56..."

As he was writing a summary of the day as usual, Sasuke paused when he got to the date at the beginning. He stopped writing, remained silent for a moment, and then sighed.

'Unbeknownst to me, I've already been in this world for over five months.'

He misses home. No matter how deep his longing is, he is still human, and as a human being, he will miss home.

'I wonder what happened to my body before? Was I dead? In a vegetative state? Or missing?'

The melancholy over autumn and the passing of spring lasted only a moment. Sasuke quietly closed his eyes, gradually regained his composure, and rallied.

Shaking his head, Sasuke continued to focus his gaze and thoughts on the paper.

The current time is December 9th, Konoha Year 56.

Naruto and his original self were born in Konoha in 48, and graduated at the age of 12-13, which means Konoha was in 61.

And he's currently in second grade and about to enter third grade, so his guess is correct!

Furthermore, the academic year in this world is consistent with the school system in Japan, where students enroll in school in April each year and the academic year lasts until March of the following year.

"Graduated from the Ninja Academy in March of Konoha Year 61!"

According to information from the original timeline, Class 7 carried out a basic mission for a month after graduation, and then encountered the Land of Waves mission.

Thinking of this, Sasuke continued writing:

"April 61, Konoha, Land of Waves, C-rank mission!"

Based on the Third Hokage's announcement that the Chunin Exams would be held on July 1st, the following deductions were made:

"The Chunin Exams held in Konoha Village in July of Konoha Year 61."

"In August of Konoha Year 61, during the Chunin Exams finals, Orochimaru initiated the Konoha Crush Plan!"

"In September of Konoha Year 61, Tsunade became the Fifth Hokage of Konoha Village."

"........."

Chapter 28 Special Experimental Subjects

As he was writing, Sasuke suddenly noticed something was wrong, so he stopped writing and looked at the line for April of Konoha Year 61.

According to the Book of Lin, Team 7 carried out eight missions between March and April, C1D7. C-rank missions are missions to the Land of Waves.

What were they doing during those three months from April to July?

Have you been picking at your feet at home for three months?

Not a single mission?

However, according to Sasuke from the original timeline, Team 7 should have carried out several missions during those three months, but they were not shown in the main storyline.

After reviewing the general outline of the original timeline in his mind, Sasuke formulated a preliminary plan and then burned the paper.
