Chapter 174 Ouch, that really hurts!

Orochimaru, using his familiarity with Danzo's personality and his deep understanding of the battlefield situation, set a trap for the latter, making him believe that a certain location was the core of Kumogakure's logistics.

In fact, that place was indeed a crucial logistical base for the Hidden Cloud Village.

Normally, this place is under the heavy protection of the Hidden Clouds.

What Orochimaru needed to do was to make Danzo believe that Kumogakure had focused all its efforts on the defense of Asuka Fortress, and that the fortress was now vulnerable and would be easy to exploit.

If they can take it in one fell swoop, the Hidden Cloud Village will be forced to retreat in the short term, and the Hidden Leaf Village will be able to take the Asuka Fortress at a lower cost.

With this great achievement, Danzo could seize all power in one fell swoop.

Having been given such an opportunity, Danzo, after testing the waters and finding some success, naturally wouldn't give up.

Unfortunately, this flaw was just an illusion.

Orochimaru's purpose in bringing his men there was simply to find a suitable reason to appear in the right place at a crucial moment and save Danzo, lest he actually perish there.

He wanted to frame Danzo, but he didn't really want Danzo to die.

However, only Uchiha Gen and Orochimaru knew about this matter, and the entire process was orchestrated by Orochimaru. No one else, not even his most trusted confidant Mitarashi Shishou, knew anything about it.

Everyone will just assume that this was an occasional failure.

"Yuan, you come and help heal Elder Danzo's injuries. The rest of you go to the medical station for treatment."

Orochimaru and Gen Uchiha exchanged a glance before Orochimaru gave a command.

"Alright, Nonou, you're in charge of arranging the personnel. Elder Danzo, come with me into the tent."

Gen Uchiha waved his hand, gave an order, and then invited Danzo into the tent.

Once inside, Danzo voluntarily took off his clothes, revealing his blood-stained wounds.

He was indeed badly injured, covered in blood, with half of his body riddled with wounds, and he could barely move.

Despite being so badly injured, Danzo remained silent, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain.

It must be said that Danzo truly practiced the word "patience" to a certain extent.

"Elder Danzo, lie down. I need to clean your wounds before I can use medical ninjutsu to treat you."

Danzo remained silent and simply lay down on the bed as Uchiha Gen had instructed.

The latter took out tweezers, alcohol, and saline solution from the medical kit and began to clean Danzo's wounds.

Without anesthesia, Danzo would only feel more pain during this process.

At this point, Danzo finally couldn't hold back any longer and let out a muffled groan.

"Elder Danzo, hang in there a little longer, it will be over soon. If you can't take it, I'll be gentler."

Gen Uchiha moved slowly, and seeing Danzo's reaction, he silently slowed down his movements even further.

"No need—I can take it."

"Okay!"

That's exactly what I've been waiting for.

"Ugh—ah!"

Uchiha Gen suddenly increased the intensity of his movements, causing Danzo to finally lose his temper and cry out in pain.

Between prolonged pain and short-term pain, Danzo chose short-term pain, but the intensity of that pain naturally increased exponentially.

"Lord Danzo!" ×2

Upon hearing Danzo's voice, the two Root ninjas outside the tent immediately lifted the curtain and stormed in, their killing intent palpable.

However, the next second, two long, slender snakes instantly wrapped around the two Root ninjas and bit down on their necks.

The pale green venom was injected into their bodies through the finger-length fangs, spreading throughout their bodies along the arteries, instantly causing the two men to collapse to the ground.

Orochimaru————

"Don't worry, Elder Danzo. This snake venom only has an anesthetic effect and won't harm your men. At most, they'll only be unconscious for a few hours."

Elder Danzo, it seems your subordinates don't really trust us.

Orochimaru reached out and coiled his long snake, throwing two Root ninjas out of the tent.

"Root ninjas must have the mindset of Root ninjas. In addition to the Will of Fire, they also need the Will of Root. They do not need excessive trust, so as not to cause the leakage of information."

Danzo endured the pain, gritting his teeth with difficulty.

Then he let out another scream of pain.

"Whatever."

Orochimaru chuckled and sat down to the side, quietly watching Gen Uchiha clean Danzo's wounds.

A few minutes later, Gen Uchiha put down the tweezers.

Unfortunately, the time to legitimately torture Danzo was only so short.

"Elder Danzo, you can sit up now so we can begin the formal treatment."

Upon hearing this, Danzo breathed a sigh of relief and sat up from the bed.

It really hurt just now.

Danzo was in so much pain that he now harbored a grudge against Gen Uchiha.

Born into the Uchiha clan, he refused Danzo's offer of recruitment and even caused him so much pain. Given Danzo's vindictive nature and narrow-mindedness, how could he not hold a grudge against Uchiha Genji? However, the next moment, when those hands glowing with green chakra pressed against his wounds, sending waves of cool warmth that quickly healed them, Danzo's thoughts changed drastically.

The pain in my body was quickly relieved by the medical ninjutsu.

In just a short while, the injuries on his body were greatly relieved.

An hour later, when the treatment was over, Danzo's injuries had mostly healed.

Minor injuries were healed immediately, and serious injuries were greatly alleviated, turning into minor injuries.

He, who was originally struggling to move, has probably recovered more than 60% of his combat strength based on his assessment of his injuries.

Medical ninjutsu is great! I must learn medical ninjutsu!

The Root organization must also have excellent medical ninjas!

When the medical department was first established, Danzo naturally arranged for three or four people to be sent in, but in such a short time, it was obviously not enough to train them into talents.

Should we dig a few over?

Danzo sat cross-legged on the tatami mat, watching Uchiha Gen pack up the medical equipment with an expressionless face, his mind racing.

There are only three medical ninjas in Konoha who are above the top level.

Tsunade, Sarutobi Biwako, Uchiha Gen.

Tsunade would never accept his offer, and since Sarutobi Biwako is the Third Hokage's wife, it's even less likely. The only remaining member, Uchiha Gen, also recently rejected his offer. Therefore, it's impossible for him to directly recruit such a medical ninja for Root.

Therefore, the most suitable target was limited to the dozen or so medical ninjas who had followed these three on the battlefield in the Land of Rain.

After more than a year, these talented apprentices have become quite good medical ninjas, and some of them have shown the talent to become top-notch medical ninjas.

Danzo set his sights on these people.
