Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swordsmen Begins from the Hidden Cloud Village.

He is Orochimaru, the disciple of his old friend. The loss of his right arm has greatly reduced his strength, and he must transplant a suitable arm.

His talent in this area was a little lacking, so in the end he could only find this disciple of his old friend.

"What a perfect power!"

Looking at the small piece of meat in the nutrient solution, Orochimaru was extremely obsessed and passionate.

That was the piece of flesh of the First Hokage, secretly cut off by the Second Hokage for research.

Even though it was just a piece of meat, he could still sense the powerful life force. It was hard to imagine how terrifying the power of the First Hokage was when he was alive.

"The first generation of cells was very corrosive, and the second generation teachers failed after numerous experiments."

Danzo Shimura explained that he was eager for the power of the first generation teacher, but he was more afraid of him.

After taking over Mr. Tobirama's laboratory, he secretly did some experiments, but unfortunately the results were very tragic and horrifying to him.

"So you're not asking me to help you gain the power of the First Hokage this time?"

Hearing the fear in Shimura Danzo's tone, Orochimaru had some guesses.

"I need an arm that can restore my strength. It would be best if it can improve me. The reward is that you can participate in the research project on the first generation of cells, so that you can come into contact with the strongest power in the ninja world."

Danzo Shimura said in a deep voice that the Ninja World War is imminent, and the Third Kazekage is leading the Ninja Army to attack the defense line in River Country. In addition, the strong men of the clan led by himself have been destroyed in Whirlpool Country, so the pressure there is very high.

Hiruzen could not leave the village easily, so he had to go there by himself. Not only did he have to command the battle, but he also had to fight against the Third Kazekage.

But now that he had lost his arm, he couldn’t even form seals, and his strength had been greatly reduced.

In addition, the idea of ​​allowing Orochimaru to join the research on the primary generation cells is also to speed up this research.

I have to say that Orochimaru is a very talented person, much better than those useless people under his command.

“Any good material?”

Orochimaru asked, a simple arm transplant was not difficult for him, the most important thing was to solve the rejection reaction.

"There is a Swift Escape Ninja."

Danzo Shimura said this and walked towards an operating table on the other side, on which was tied a sleeping man. This was the man that Danzo Shimura had prepared before, and he was also the one that was captured with great difficulty.

"The Sand Village's Swift Escape?"

Orochimaru looked at the man and couldn't help but lick his lips with his tongue. He was very interested in him.

He was familiar with all the information about the bloodline limits in the ninja world, and naturally knew that the Sand Village's swift escape was a bloodline limit formed by the fusion of wind and lightning attributes. Its main characteristic was to increase speed, and it had a speed that surpassed the speed of lightning and wind escape.

"It is not easy to obtain a bloodline limit through transplantation."

A simple arm transplant is not difficult, but it is difficult to obtain a bloodline limit through it.

"what do you want?"

Danzo Shimura knew that this was Orochimaru negotiating terms, but he didn't mind it much, especially at this stage he was in urgent need of restoring his strength, or even increasing it.

"I want to join the research on the Sharingan."

Orochimaru licked his lips. He had been interested in the Sharingan for a long time. After all, the limit of the Sharingan was not low, and it was no less powerful than the first generation Hokage. He was very curious about the secrets within it.

"Today I will successfully transplant my arm and gain the power of swift escape."

After a little thought, Shimura Danzo agreed, as it would not do him any harm.

The research progress on the Sharingan has long been stagnant, and there have been no new findings in more than ten years. If Orochimaru joins in, perhaps there will be new results.

"You will gain Swift Escape!"

Orochimaru was smiling. Although his current means were not enough to help Shimura Danzo obtain the complete bloodline power, he could still get some of it, at least making the arm swing faster.

Of course, the surgical transplant is not that fast, but if you use medical ninjutsu to stimulate the cells during the time you are rushing to the front line, you can speed up the fusion of the two cells, and it should be almost done by the time you get to the front line.

"Huruzen has praised you many times, saying that you are his best and most proud disciple, and that you may very well be the future Fourth Hokage."

Danzo Shimura suddenly brought up another topic. Before, Aburame Shiguro told him everything he had said to the Senju boy after returning from the Uzushiogakure Village. He thought it made sense and became more cautious.

"Teacher is now in the prime of life, is there any point in saying this?"

With his eyes flickering, Orochimaru couldn't guess the real intention of Danzo Shimura saying this for a moment, but he did have some ideas about the position of Hokage.

Was it because this incident was not handled properly, leaving hidden dangers that made the teacher's position as Hokage unstable?

"The situation in the village is very complicated. The Fourth Hokage may appear in this war, but from what I see from Hiruzen, he doesn't seem to be planning to recommend you to be the Fourth Hokage."

Danzo Shimura put it bluntly, hoping to win over Orochimaru.

Orochimaru is a very talented person. He is very satisfied with the transplant of the Swift Release Ninja's arm. He needs such talents in his heart.

"Danzo-sama, are you trying to sow discord?"

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Orochimaru felt that Danzo Shimura shouldn't be so stupid and said it too bluntly.

Danzo Shimura ignored Orochimaru's look and spoke indifferently.

“Although you are Hiruzen’s best disciple, you are too good, especially in terms of personality. Hiruzen cannot control you, and conflicts are inevitable in the future, which is not in his interest.

I heard that he was very concerned about a child in the ninja school, and even asked Jiraiya to take him as his disciple and taught him many ninjutsu.

According to my manual investigation, that child is really excellent, especially his nerve reaction speed is unprecedentedly strong. If he can learn the Flying Thunder God Technique from Tobirama Sensei, he will surely have the strength of a Kage.

Such an outstanding child is more suitable for you to teach, but Hiruzen chose Jiraiya. What do you think your teacher thought?"

The more he thought about what Aburame Shiguro brought back, the more he felt something was not right, so he asked someone to secretly investigate the child, which made him even more uneasy.

Hiruzen is trying to train the Fourth Hokage in advance!

He would rather choose a child than pass the position of Hokage to himself, which made him very angry and felt betrayed.

Although it is still just a guess, he feels that it can be basically determined.

He had seen the Flying Thunder God Technique, and found that the training requirements were very strict, and the most critical point was the speed of nerve reaction.

Otherwise, it would not be flying over to kill people, but rather it would be delivering itself to the other person's ninja sword.

The child possesses a very good nerve reaction speed and is not bad in talent. He is a natural born to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Once you learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, you can become the most terrifying ninja. The most frightening thing about Sensei Tobirama back then was the Flying Thunder God Technique.

It is precisely because he understands this that he becomes more certain.

In the past, everyone only focused on Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru, but they never thought that Hiruzen would make such a choice and arrangement.

It's you indeed, Hiruzen!

Chapter 59: Blame Danzo

Orochimaru's expression also became solemn. He knew about Jiraiya's disciple, and that idiot had even boasted in front of him many times.

At the same time, he also knew that the child was arranged by the teacher. After all, that idiot was staring at the women's bathhouse in the village all day long. It was impossible for him to go to the ninja school, let alone discover such a genius.

But I didn't expect that there was another secret hidden in this. The teacher never thought of letting me inherit the position of Hokage.

Although he was not so obsessed with the position of Hokage, this behavior still made him feel uncomfortable.

The teacher has indeed said many times that he is the best candidate for the Fourth Hokage, but now he is secretly training another person. What does he think of himself?

Is it to attract a lot of attention openly so that the child can grow up more safely?

You are really worthy of being here, teacher!

"I can see that your obsession with strength is better than your idea of ​​power. There should be no conflict between you and me. What Hiruzen can give you, I can also give you, or even more."

Seeing Orochimaru lost in thought, Danzo Shimura extended an invitation.

He has always kept an eye on Hiruzen's three disciples. Orochimaru is not keen on power, but is very interested in training and research, and is also very talented.

This provides the basis for winning them over.

"Please give me guidance in the future, Master Danzo."

With a smile on his face, Orochimaru did not refuse the invitation.

Regardless of what the teacher thinks, he is indeed more obsessed with power, even at the cost of transforming himself.

Now, Danzo Shimura has something that interests him, and they are also the two strongest forces in the ninja world today. It will be worthwhile for him to cooperate with them.

As for the future, we will talk about it later.

Furthermore, he was surprised by the insight and intelligence shown by Danzo Shimura in this regard. He did not even notice his teacher's arrangement, but Danzo Shimura saw through it.

But how could Danzo Shimura, who possessed such insight and intelligence, suffer a disastrous defeat in the Land of Whirlpools?

It's too contradictory. Is there some hidden story behind it?

Or is it that the wisdom of Dodai, the assistant of the Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village, is really that terrifying?

Danzo Shimura was very satisfied with Orochimaru's ability to understand the current situation, and he also responded.

“You can take some of the first generation’s cells and Sharingan with me to the frontline, where there will be enough prisoners of war to supply your research experiments.

No matter what kind of experiment you do, I will support you, but you need to produce some results as soon as possible to help me defeat the Sand Village."

Some experiments are difficult to conduct in the village, but this war is an opportunity for them.

The war will not end so quickly, and both sides will invest a large number of ninjas, who are all top-quality experimental consumables.

Moreover, all the Jonin of their two clans and the Jonin of the Root were wiped out in the Land of Whirlpools. Now they need to cultivate new high-end combat power as quickly as possible. Normal methods will definitely not work, and they can only resort to some extreme means.

“What a joyful thing!”

Licking his lips, Orochimaru was very satisfied with the promise.

He had a lot of ideas before, but was unable to try to verify them due to limited conditions. Now he has found the opportunity.

It’s such a pleasure to work with Danzo Shimura!

At the same time, the Root Ninjas who received orders from Danzo Shimura delivered most of the Sharingan to Uchiha Reyang.

Uchiha Lieyang brought those eyes to the clan's secret place, where there were many things placed. The most of them were bottles, inside which were eyes soaked in nutrient solution. They were all Sharingan, all with three magatama.

And a pair of strange gray eyes.

Seal the eyes with less than three magatama and the broken ones sent by Shimura Danzo into a gourd, and put the rest on the shelf together with the three magatama Sharingan.

"It's a pity that Jing was too close to Senju Tobirama and the others. Otherwise, with the help of these eyes, Izanagi alone could have dragged everyone to death and allowed the Uchiha to produce a Hokage."

Looking at the sealed Sharingans, Uchiha Lieyang felt regretful.

These are the accumulation of their Uchiha family for nearly a hundred years. Naturally, the eyes of their Uchiha clan members will not follow into the coffin. These are the most precious resources of the family, especially the three-magatama Sharingan.

That is the medium for exerting Izanagi, but unfortunately Izanagi needs the guidance of kaleidoscope-level pupil power to fully exert it and completely change one's own destiny.

Although Jing awakened the Kaleidoscope and his pupil power was extremely strong, his heart was not with his family. He was too biased and died young.

Pity!

What made him feel the most pressure was the wife of the First Generation. She had perfectly controlled the power of the Nine-Tails. Even eyes of the Mangekyō level could hardly affect her. She had reached the level of the First Generation Hokage and Uchiha Madara.

Faced with such an existence, they would find it difficult to match it even with the Mangekyō, unless they could have the eyes that Uchiha Madara had back then.

"How did you get those eyes?"

His gaze fell on the pair of gray eyes on the shelf, and Uchiha Lieyang felt infinite desire and doubt in his heart.

How did Uchiha Madara get those eyes back then?

They have done some research experiments over the years, but none of them were successful. That was not obtained through eye transplantation from blood relatives, there must be deeper reasons.

Unfortunately, only Uchiha Madara knew the reason, and Uchiha Madara had been killed by the First Hokage, and even his body was taken away by the Second Hokage.

After staring for a long time and finally sighing, Uchiha Lieyang turned and left.

But what he didn't know was that there was another person who came in with him, who could also be considered a person.

“Good nourishment.”

Black Zetsu emerged from the shadows and looked at the densely packed Sharingan with great satisfaction.

He knew before that the Uchiha family had a rule of taking eyes for deceased members of the family. Even if others killed an Uchiha ninja, they would take the eyes first. Even if they did not transplant them themselves, they could still sell them for a good price at the gold exchange.

The Exchange has always offered a bounty for the Sharingan and the Byakugan, especially the Byakugan with fewer side effects.

However, he was only interested in Indra's reincarnation and Mangekyō, and had no idea about these Magatama Sharingan.

But now his younger brother really needs these Sharingans as nutrients to enhance the power of the Ten-Tails and their mother, so he separated a part of his body and came here in person to seize them, but he didn't expect to find the opportunity so soon.
