Naruto's civilian cannon fodder starts with the three-body technique

Chapter 183 Insider Information
"Teacher, please don't misunderstand. It wasn't the people from our village who wanted to kill me. I fell into an explosive tag trap, and when they saw that I was beyond saving, they removed my organs."

With Senju Nawaki's explanation, the matter became even more perplexing.

The girl who removed his organs was a bespectacled young girl, accompanied by ninjas from the Aburame clan. However, these Konoha ninjas had initially come to rescue him; they were the ones who held off the Iwagakure ninjas, otherwise he would have died long ago.

Unfortunately, on his escape route, he encountered a group of Iwa ninja and fell into an explosive tag trap.

By the time the female ninja arrived to provide support, he was already beyond saving. The little girl with glasses had excellent medical ninjutsu, but the kunai blades from the exploding tags had pierced his internal organs, making it impossible to save him.

In this situation, the oil-woman ninja then ordered the removal of his organs, saying it was to suppress the Sharingan, and he knew nothing after that.

"Huh?" Sasuke Umino was surprised and uncertain, feeling that this was not what he had guessed.

The ninja who removed Nawaki's organs was most likely one of Danzo Shimura's subordinates. It wasn't Danzo Shimura who wanted to kill Nawaki; he actually wanted to protect her. Only after failing did he make the choice to maximize his own benefit.

"Rope Tree, take good care of yourself. Your teacher will help you find out the truth."

Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils gleamed with an inexplicable light.

As a candidate for Hokage, Orochimaru's influence in Konoha is currently much stronger than that of Sasuke Umino, with his subordinates and confidants spread throughout the entire Konoha ninja system.

Orochimaru used his summoning jutsu to immediately send information to his staunch subordinate, Mitarashi Shishou, demanding a thorough investigation into the matter.

He even asked his friend Dan Kato for help in the investigation.

In particular, Kato Dan, having mastered the art of spirit transformation, must have some knowledge of intelligence regarding the front-line defense zone.

After Orochimaru finished all that, he finally had the time to look around the laboratory.

"Orochimaru, transplanting external organs can only last for a while. You still need to use cloning technology as soon as possible to clone Nawaki's organs and replace them with his own."

Orochimaru nodded: "Sasuke-kun, this lab of yours must have cost a fortune, right?"

Orochimaru looked around at the various instruments in the laboratory, filled with envy.

Orochimaru isn't as wealthy as Sasuke Umino right now. Earning money by doing missions is definitely not as good as running a company. Besides, Sasuke Umino also has a shipwreck salvage business, which is making him incredibly rich.

With the support of numerous antiques and money, Gato acquired almost all the best equipment in the entire ninja world. In particular, after the mass production of salamander venom began, Gato and Kakuzu saw the enormous benefits of the laboratory and took the initiative to help collect various equipment.

Besides the White Zetsu laboratory, which is the most deeply hidden, the Land of Waves has four other large laboratories. The one we are currently in is the Prosthetics Laboratory No. 3, which mainly cultivates ninja organs. Because the technology is not yet mature, we can only cooperate with the Puppet Laboratory No. 2 to produce ninja mechanical prosthetics. We are not yet able to restore ninja organs.

Now, with Orochimaru's technical support, cloning ninja organs is just around the corner.

As expected of Orochimaru, the number one technology master in the ninja world, he spent a few days further improving the previous gene technology and cloned a mini heart.

Just as Orochimaru was compiling the experimental data and waiting for Nawaki's cloned organs to take shape, a small white snake brought him investigative information.

After reading the intelligence, Orochimaru's expression changed drastically. He immediately destroyed the intelligence scroll, not giving Umino Sasuke any chance to look at it.

"Sasuke-kun, I need to go to the front lines in the Land of Grass. Would it be convenient for you to teleport me there?"

"Orochimaru, why are you in such a hurry? The cloned organ is about to be fully grown. Why don't you wait until it's transplanted before you leave?" "No, with Tsunade here, there won't be any danger. I have important business to attend to. I'll come back to take care of Nawaki after I'm done."

Seeing Orochimaru's haste, Sasuke Umino didn't ask any more questions. He used Shadow Clone Jutsu in conjunction with Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport Orochimaru to the front lines of the Land of Grass.

However, in order to gather intelligence, he still sent many shadow clones to the front lines of the Land of Grass, using the Spore Release Technique to investigate the inside story.

Less than half a day later, the shadow clone transmitted the information and memories.

"No way? It's actually related to Hiruzen Sarutobi!"

Umino Sasuke was shocked.

No wonder Orochimaru later cooperated with Danzo Shimura; it turns out the mastermind behind this wasn't the Nagakage.

According to information gathered by the shadow clones, it was discovered that the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was also involved in the murder of Nawaki.

Of course, the veracity of this insider information is still unknown, and it could also be just Kato's side of the story.

However, given Kato Dan's character and his relationship with Orochimaru, there must be some basis for this.

For Orochimaru, Hiruzen Sarutobi was more than just a mentor; he was like a father figure.

If Kato Dan hadn't been absolutely certain, he would never have revealed this information to Orochimaru.

Based on the information provided by Kato Dan, Orochimaru, with his intelligence, was able to roughly piece together the outline of events.

It turns out that the information about Iwagakure's plot to target Nawaki, the grandson of Hashirama Senju, had already been obtained by Konoha's Anbu and delivered to Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk.

Hiruzen Sarutobi chose to ignore it and did not provide any assistance. Instead, Danzo Shimura used Yakushi Nonou, a spy, to obtain information from within Iwagakure and rushed to the rescue, but it was too late, and Nawaki was trapped in the explosive tag trap.

Seeing that Nawaki was beyond saving, the Aburame clan ninja ordered Yakushi Nonou to remove Nawaki's organs to maximize their profit.

After the Root ninjas obtained the tree organs from the rope and left, another group of Anbu ninjas appeared to help the Root ninjas clean up the mess, cover up the incident, and fake it as the work of the Iwa ninjas.

Upon learning of Nawaki's danger, Kato Dan used his Spirit Transformation Technique to come to his rescue. The Spirit Transformation Technique has a wide range and is extremely fast, basically ignoring obstacles and distances. By the time his soul arrived at the scene, the Root ninja had already removed Nawaki's organs. Later, it was discovered that Konoha Anbu were cleaning up the mess for the Root ninja.

"I see."

Sasuke Umino suddenly realized that once he sorted things out, many things would become clear.

Although Nawaki wasn't killed by Hiruzen Sarutobi, he stood by and watched it happen. He had the ability to help, but chose to remain a bystander. In the end, he even ended up cleaning up the mess left by Danzo Shimura.

Otherwise, Guo Ying would have taken all the blame again.

"Orochimaru, one is the Hokage, who is like a father to you, and the other is your successor. What will you choose?"

Sasuke Umino was really looking forward to seeing if Orochimaru would question Hiruzen Sarutobi.
