Naruto: Random Flying Thunder God Technique? Intercepting the Dark-Dark Fruit

There are limited things he can do, and this outcome is the best solution within his capabilities.

During the rescue, Shiranui Sho even discovered that two of the babies were adopted from an orphanage in Konoha by Root ninjas.

Thinking of this, his expression darkened, and a murderous intent towards Danzo surfaced in his eyes.

Targeting children in orphanages undoubtedly crosses his bottom line further.

It's worth noting that he also grew up in an orphanage.

If he had been born a few years later, just in time for the restart of the Wood Release experiment, he might also be lying in the culture tank, his fate unknown.

The children in the Konoha Orphanage are mostly orphans of Konoha ninja.

It is utterly depraved to target the descendants of these sacrificed ninjas.

That old dog Danzo, he must kill him!

"What's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?"

Tsunade's worried voice came from one side.

The murderous intent in Shiranui Xiao's eyes dissipated, and her expression softened slightly.

Tsunade walked over, drying her hair with a towel. Water droplets still clung to the ends of her golden hair, clinging to her collarbone.

She was wearing a beige bathrobe, and her full breasts seemed about to burst out as she walked.

"It's OK."

Shiranui Sho had no intention of telling Tsunade about the Wood Release laboratory.

Given her personality, the first thing she would probably do after finding out about this is to find Orochimaru and fight him.

Next, they went to the Hokage's office and caused a huge scene.

If Shimura Danzo were to show his face, Tsunade would likely strike without hesitation.

The problem is that it's far too easy for Danzo Shimura to distance himself from this matter.

In the original story, Orochimaru ultimately took the blame for everything and defected, while Danzo Shimura enjoyed the fruits of the experiment's success alone.

More importantly, even if the Third Hokage was furious, he wouldn't be willing to actually kill his old comrade-in-arms.

In the end, Tsunade became disheartened and decided to leave the village ahead of schedule.

This is also why Shiranui Sho chose to keep it a secret.

If Tsunade could really change these things, why would she have left so disheartened in the original story?

"Lady Tsunade, have you had dinner yet?"

As Shiranui Sho spoke, she opened the oil paper bag in her hand.

The aroma of the grilled meat faded after it cooled down, and it wasn't until the parchment paper was torn open that the fragrance finally reached Tsunade's nose.

Her delicate, sculpted nose twitched, and a hint of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"This is...beef?"

"Tsunade asked uncertainly."

"...I guess so?"

Shiranui Sho also gave an uncertain answer.

The marine life of Haijielan is incredibly diverse, with some being entirely composites of animals like cows, sheep, and deer with fish.

A dozen minutes later, Shiranui Sho used a knife to cut the large piece of bone-in meat into countless slices, placed them on a plate, and put them on the dining table.

"This meat... is really flavorful."

Tsunade picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. After chewing it, her eyes lit up.

"It tastes like beef, but it's very tender, giving me a fish-like texture, and the spices sprinkled on top have a very unique flavor."

"Lord Tsunade, is this your old eatery?"

Shiranui Sho gave a thumbs up.

You should know that this meat and bone dish, from the ingredients to the seasonings, all come from another world.

In the ninja world, this does not exist.

Seemingly thinking that the grilled meat was perfect with alcohol, Tsunade returned, and there was now a jug of wine on the table.

"I met Lord Orochimaru today, and he gave me some research data about the soul."

As Shiranui Xiao recalled what had happened that afternoon, her gaze met Tsunade's beautiful eyes, which held a hint of languor.

"Oh? He really does."

Tsunade was slightly taken aback.

She had only happened to run into Orochimaru before, and mentioned him in passing.

She only knew that her friend had some knowledge of forbidden techniques, but she wasn't sure whether Orochimaru had any information related to his soul.

"Thank you, Tsunade-sama."

Shiranui Sou thanked him solemnly.

Facing the young man, she felt a sudden heat rise to her ears.

Taking advantage of the tipsiness after a few drinks, she wrapped her jade-like arm around Shiranui Xiao's neck.

Before Shiranui Sho could react, Tsunade had already trapped her neck under her arm, and her head was resting on something soft.

After taking a bath, Tsunade was wearing a loose yukata. From Shiranui Sho's current angle, all she could see was a snow-white ravine.

"No need to thank me for something so trivial, it's too formal!"

Tsunade, unaware of the impropriety of her actions, glared at him.

The next second, she changed the subject, "If you really want to thank me, please bring me more of this kind of barbecue in the future."

In Tsunade's opinion, this grilled meat was something she had never seen in Konoha before; perhaps it was brought back from outside the village by Shiranui Sho.

The Flying Thunder God Technique makes traveling back and forth convenient, and bringing some grilled meat won't be too much of a hassle for the other party.

"No problem, there's plenty of barbecue."

Shiranui Sou readily nodded in agreement.

After talking for a while, Tsunade released him, his fair face flushed, perhaps from the alcohol.

……

On one side, everyone was having a good time, but on the other side, the atmosphere was gloomy.

In the dark underground laboratory, a man with bandages wrapped around his forehead and right eye had a gloomy expression as his gaze swept over the mess.

Behind him, a man with snake-like eyes wore an enigmatic smile.

When Danzo Shimura looked at him, Orochimaru's slight smile vanished.

Chapter 64: Kumogakure Changes Jinchuriki! [Seeking First Subscription! (7/10)]

The culture tanks were smashed one by one, and the specially made nutrient solution was spilled all over the floor, sticking to the soles of their shoes.

The control panel and other equipment were all brutally destroyed, with glass and metal scattered like garbage.

Of course, none of this mattered to Danzo.

The test subjects can be re-tied up, and the test equipment can be repurchased or rebuilt.

What cannot be recovered is all the experimental data that was stored in this laboratory, but has now vanished without a trace.

Where were you when it happened?

Danzo Shimura's cold voice rang out.

“A Root ninja experienced a rejection reaction after the transplant, so I went to ‘take care of’ him.”

Orochimaru's snake-like eyes gleamed with an unfathomable light, and his tone was equally cold.

Upon hearing this, Danzo Shimura did not doubt anything, but simply nodded with a gloomy expression.

He has no reason to doubt Orochimaru in this matter.

Or rather, he suspected the entire Hidden Leaf Village before finally suspecting Orochimaru as the second to last person he suspected.

Finally, it was himself.

Orochimaru's snake-like eyes swept across the laboratory.

The laboratory, which embodied his hard work, was destroyed in one day, but strangely, he felt no reluctance whatsoever.

He crouched down, his pale right hand brushing across the remains of the control panel.

"What a careful guy, he didn't leave a single trace."

Orochimaru's sinister voice rang out.

"This matter needs to be investigated."

Danzo Shimura suppressed his anger and narrowed his eyes as he said, "Those who interfere with our affairs will pay the price."

"Is it possible that it's Sarutobi-sensei?"

Orochimaru stood up and said casually.

As soon as he finished speaking, Danzo Shimura stiffened, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

"No, if it were him, whatever his reaction, he would never remain silent for half a day."

Based on his years of understanding of his old comrade-in-arms, he still ruled out Orochimaru's speculation.

Orochimaru nodded noncommittally.

"The person who was able to kill all the guards in a short time and prevent the news from getting out immediately must have been an elite Jonin."

"As an undisputed elite Jonin," Orochimaru said.

These words were clearly endorsed by Danzo Shimura.

"Who do you think it is, someone from the village, or..."

“People outside the village can’t easily find this place,” Orochimaru said.

"They were able to observe the hidden entrances and exits of this laboratory, precisely slit the throats of more than ten ninjas with their swords, and then showed interest in the Wood Release experiments..."

Orochimaru didn't lie; he simply presented the facts to Danzo Shimura.

Then, Shimura Danzo gritted his teeth and uttered a surname: "Uchiha..."

"Uchiha?" Orochimaru asked, puzzled.

"That's right!"

Danzo Shimura became increasingly certain of his suspicions: "They are afraid that the village will once again enjoy the prosperity it had during the time of the First Hokage!"

If the Konoha leadership hopes to recreate the glory of Wood Release.

Therefore, the Uchiha clan is naturally the one least willing to see Wood Release reappear in the ninja world.

The truth is secondary.

When Danzo came to this conclusion, the Uchiha clan was already firmly in the wrong.

Danzo Shimura said coldly, "You are responsible for investigating this matter thoroughly."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru nodded slightly.

……

Inside the Dark Army base.

Shiranui Sho changed back into her work clothes, put on her eagle beak mask, and stood against the relatively brightly lit wall.

He held a palm-sized notebook in his left hand, while his right hand held a pen and was writing and drawing on it.

"Soul..."

Shiranui Sho muttered this word to herself.

During this time, he has also read many classic books from around the world.
