Uchiha Akaishi Tour

"You guys aren't hiding something from me, are you?" Tsunade's gaze swept over Lan Jun and Lan Wu, then glanced at Akaishi beside her.

At this moment, Akaishi also looked at Lan Jun with a good look on his face, as if he wanted to explore the secrets of the Forest Street.

"Let's talk about it when we get back!" Tsunade said to Lan Jun and Lan Wu.

Lan Jun: ...

Akaishi's innocent act successfully fooled Tsunade.

……

As the people from the Forest Town left, Orochimaru couldn't help but smirk—he also knew that Yakushi Nonou had revealed the Wood Release experiment, and even... Orochimaru already knew that Root's secret Wood Release experiment was "about to begin".

After all, when the Third Hokage had just allowed Root to obtain Hashirama cells and begin experiments, Orochimaru was still secretly having an affair with Root...

Therefore, even Orochimaru obtained some Hashirama cells at that time, and Danzo also infiltrated him about the need for "further secret experiments".

If this continues, Orochimaru will likely become the person in charge of the classified experiments.

However, at this moment, Akaishi successfully seduced Orochimaru using the Uchiha's Sage Mode, causing Orochimaru to marry into the Uchiha clan, and Danzo later broke off all ties with him.

Therefore, although Orochimaru did not know the specifics, he knew that Root did indeed have this intention, and... he also believed that Danzo would not give up this experiment just because he was missing!

This matches the findings that Yakushi Nonou had gathered...

Originally, Akaishi felt that what happened to Tsunade next was an internal matter of the Mori no Machi—whether or not to tell her, and if so, how to prevent her from acting impulsively… should be something the Mori no Machi considered.

However, what Akaishi didn't expect was that Tsunade would arrive at the Uchiha clan's territory in a flurry that very afternoon.

The two Chunin guarding the entrance were also startled.

They had never seen Tsunade come to the Uchiha clan's territory on her own initiative...

"You're that...Tsunade? What are you doing here?" The Uchiha Chunin asked rudely, as usual.

They only knew that if Lan Wu came, they could let her in directly, but they had never heard that Tsunade would come.

"Where's Orochimaru? Where's Akaishi? Tell them to come out and see me!" Tsunade said irritably.

Seeing this, the two Uchiha Chunin guarding the gate also retorted with displeasure, "Orochimaru and Akaishi-san are not people you can just see whenever you want..."

boom--

Tsunade stomped her foot on the door, creating a crack.

Faced with this method of summoning the Great Sage to see the Earth God, the Chunin of the Uchiha clan swallowed hard, then turned back to report.

Before long, Akaishi, whose face was full of innocence and confusion, and Orochimaru, who had no expression, came out.

:

"Come with me!" Tsunade glanced at the others around her, then pulled the two of them along.

They arrived at the Forest of Death and directly broke the sealing spell, entering it...

They only stopped when they had ventured deep into such a secluded place.

"What's wrong with Tsunade? Could it be... that she's discovered Madara Uchiha?" Akaishi deliberately interrupted.

"Don't give me that! Wood Release experiment... what's going on?" Tsunade said, then looked at Orochimaru: "And you, did you already know?"

"Wood Release experiment? I see. So that was the First Hokage's cell." Orochimaru dramatically slapped his palm, as if he had just realized something, but his face remained expressionless, showing no sign of acting.

"You also used my grandfather's cells?" Tsunade glared at him.

Orochimaru acted as if he'd just found out himself, but Tsunade would be a fool to believe him.

"That was given to me by Shimura," Orochimaru paused, then said before Tsunade could explode, "It was sent to Root by our teacher."

Tsunade paused upon hearing this, but before she could say anything more, Orochimaru interrupted her again, saying, "The teacher and the others also discovered it in the Second Hokage's laboratory."

Tsunade:……

Tsunade fell silent.

Knowing he was in the wrong... he threw a punch.

boom--

Seeing Orochimaru being sent flying, Akaishi quickly tried to organize his thoughts.

"How can that be the same?"

"The second generation studied the first generation of cells out of love and remembrance."

"It's to better protect Konoha, which was founded by the First Hokage!"

"What gives that Third Hokage and Shimura Danzo the right to stage an accident?"

Akaishi said righteously and sternly.

Tsunade glanced at him, her anger subsided slightly, and she refrained from throwing a punch.

As for Orochimaru...

After a series of crackling movements, its body returned to normal and it walked back on its own.

"If Danzo Shimura had any more secret experiments back then, he would definitely have come to you, right?" Tsunade questioned directly.

"Unfortunately, although he hinted at it to me, I was already in love with Obito's mother at the time," Orochimaru said insincerely.

:

The character "井" (well) appeared above Tsunade's head.

However, he still accepted Orochimaru's statement...

If Orochimaru truly possessed any crucial clues, the Uchiha clan would have already launched an attack.

Conversely, if Danzo had indeed told Orochimaru before he became Orochimaru's son-in-law, then Danzo would have changed his ways long ago and would not have allowed his secret to be exposed to the Uchiha.

"Why...why didn't you...?" Tsunade didn't know what to blame Orochimaru for for a moment.

Ordinary Wood Release experiments were not only permitted by the Third Hokage, but it is also clear that the Second Hokage was conducting them as well.

As for those that are "private"...

Orochimaru didn't know either; at most, he had been hinted at it.

Seeing that Tsunade was speechless, Orochimaru couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth into a smile.

"Why haven't you investigated this matter yet!" Tsunade demanded directly.

"Novel Website" Hand-typed Update

Orochimaru: ? ? ?

"Sister Tsunade, this matter is urgent..." Akaishi advised from the side.

Seeing Tsunade glaring at him, Akaishi emphasized again, "Orochimaru said this matter is not urgent."

Orochimaru: ...

"Aren't you in a hurry? According to Nono, at least dozens of orphans have reported abnormal deaths, which is very likely due to this experiment, or even... the experiment may have moved to the infant experiment stage. How can you expect me not to be in a hurry?"

"My grandfather established the ninja village so that children could grow up safely, but now... someone is using his cells to kill children!" Tsunade said angrily.

Orochimaru, upon hearing this, said, "Now is indeed an opportunity..."

Tsunade was naturally unhappy with Orochimaru's utterly unemotional language, but she still listened to him continue.

"The scale of the war is rapidly decreasing, and for Root, the number of orphans available for experimentation has also decreased significantly. Moreover, the establishment of a formal orphanage in Konoha is now on the agenda, and Yakushi Nonou is in charge of it..."

"The Forest Town will probably also assist the pharmacist Nonou, right? In that case, the source of orphans will decrease, and their destinations will be greatly intercepted. The Root's 'experiments' will inevitably be unable to keep up with the consumption."

"Scientific experiments are indispensable. This is not a matter of slowing down the output of results. Especially when the experimental materials suddenly go from abundant to scarce, the blow to the experiment is devastating. Some data that requires continuity may be lost all the previous efforts due to this shortage."

Orochimaru explained with great experience.

At this point, Tsunade basically understood: "You mean..."

"So even if Root is concerned about the results of previous experiments, they will definitely ensure the supply of experimental materials. The more anxious they are, the easier it will be for them to expose their weaknesses," Orochimaru said with a slight smile.

:

"That's right, now we need the Uchiha clan and the Mori no Machi to work together even more..." Akaishi added.

"Mori no Machi was responsible for assisting Nono U in setting up the orphanage as soon as possible. They were to strive for perfection in the statistics and registration of orphans, so as not to give Root any more opportunities to steal orphans. Even if there were orphans who were legally approved to be admitted to Root, they were to be visited at any time to prevent them from being sent to be used as experimental subjects."

"And our Uchiha clan will also pay special attention on the battlefield to see if anyone is kidnapping children or babies. As long as we put pressure on Root, we won't have to worry about them not making mistakes!" Akaishi explained.

The war zone is much smaller now...

Previously, it was impossible for the Uchiha to monitor the entire scene—Akashi couldn't find Nagato even when he went to look for him himself; he only encountered him by chance afterward.

However, the area where the fighting is now taking place is less than 10% of what it used to be, making monitoring much easier.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade nodded and said, "Yes, I'll go back and tell my third and fourth uncles about these things. Also... I'll be going to the front lines!"

Tsunade's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

Orochimaru then let out two eerie laughs and said, "Shouldn't we stay and take better care of that cripple?"

Tsunade's face darkened upon hearing this: "Don't talk about him!"

"Or should I ask Jiraiya for help?" Orochimaru asked further.

"Why would I need him? It's not like we're short-handed!" Tsunade waved her hand dismissively.

"That's not entirely true... We have enough manpower, but very few of us know the real situation. Our Uchiha clan is only following orders to closely monitor the movements of Root and pay attention to missing persons in the war zone. The latter is under the guise of 'maintaining order,' ostensibly to prevent accidental injuries or deaths from going unreported," Akaishi emphasized.

Tsunade fell silent upon hearing this. Indeed, the ninjas of the Forest City were only supporting the construction of the orphanage under the guise of "protecting the children," and it was impossible for them to actually say that they wanted to take the children away from Root.

There are not many "collusions" who know the truth and can take targeted actions.

Jiraiya was undoubtedly someone who could "conspire" with him.

"I'm going to find Jiraiya-sensei! Those three little brats should have learned quite a bit by now. The Land of Rain is gradually settling down, and they can take care of themselves!" Akaishi said matter-of-factly.

After a pause, Chi Shi continued, "Once my third and fourth uncles return, I will personally visit them to discuss this cooperation..."

With the matter of the Jonin squad leader settled, the leaders of each ninja clan will also return to their villages after completing their missions.

In just half a month, the Uchiha clan and the Forest Town became increasingly close, with Akaishi frequently visiting the Forest Town.

Rumors have even begun to circulate in the village that the Uchiha clan has come to propose marriage...
