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

Chapter 58 The friendship boat capsized

Not to mention Sarutobi Hiruzen who was heading to the Ino-Shika-Cho tribe's territory, on the other side, Danzo Shimura who returned to the Root base met a person who had been invited before.

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, Danzo Shimura agreed. It would not do any harm to him.

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!
