Naruto: I Borrow from the Future

Chapter 96: Luring Danzo, Severing an Arm

"As expected, one of the test subjects survived."

Orochimaru's eyes showed a look of surprise.

Although based on his previous secret observations, the Wood Release boy was not very strong and his talent was also limited, but that didn't matter!

The key point is that this confirms the feasibility of transplanting the First Hokage's cells!

During this time, he had been secretly conducting research on transplanting the First Hokage's cells with Danzo's support, but he was not sure whether the research would yield any results.

That's how scientific research is; you can never be sure if the path you're on will lead to success.

"Now that we have a successful test subject, we should be able to replicate it."

"But the problem is, only one of the sixty test subjects survived—"

Orochimaru frowned slightly.

At the Root base, Danzo has not kept many prisoners of war.

It is simply impossible for him to conduct large-scale transplantation experiments.

What should I do?

"Should we report it to the old man?"

Orochimaru pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

The Hashirama cell transplantation experiment in Konoha suffered heavy losses, and in the end, only one surviving experimental subject was kept by Danzo.

Given his teacher's current mental state, it's practically impossible for him to take that risk and support him in conducting new experiments.

not to mention----

His teacher is no longer the Hokage!

Whether reporting this to Minato Namikaze would garner his support is another matter, but doing this would definitely cause him to break ties with Danzo.

If Minato Namikaze supports it, that would be fine, but the real problem is if Minato refuses and relations with Danzo also become strained, leaving him without funding and materials for his subsequent experiments.

"What a hassle!"

Thinking about this, Orochimaru felt a surge of irritation.

It's rare that experiments have a future and a direction, yet they are still limited by these trivial problems!

Just then, a commotion, shouts, and curses suddenly came from the root base outside!

"Something happened?"

Orochimaru frowned, recalling the mysterious person who had suddenly appeared earlier.

Root base, material warehouse.

After leaving Orochimaru's side, Aoya secretly observed Orochimaru, who had transformed into a white snake, attempting to abduct children.

They simply watched quietly throughout the entire process without intervening.

After Orochimaru left, Aoya went to another direction from the Root base.

"Sharingan—"

At this moment, Qingye was holding a small bottle filled with a pale yellow liquid, inside which was a scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan.

I wonder which unlucky guy fell into Danzo's hands.

This was something Aoya discovered in countless timelines when he observed Konoha using the National Steadfast Eye Technique.

However, Danzo doesn't have many Sharingan in reserve right now, only three—which is at least two three-tomoe Uchiha.

"Danzo's eyes are still his original eyes, and he hasn't had Hashirama cells transplanted into his right arm either."

Qingye thought for a moment, then took a small bottle containing the Sharingan, and without activating invisibility, walked out of the material storage warehouse in a very open manner.

Without any attempt to conceal their movements, clear footsteps echoed through the silent underground base of the Roots.

This quickly attracted the attention of the Root ninjas!

"Who goes there?!"

The Root ninja shouted and rushed over, staring intently at the mysterious person who had suddenly appeared.

How did this guy get in?!

Moreover, judging from the direction this guy just came from—damn it, there are a lot of things that can't be shown to the public at the material storage warehouse!

"Take him down!"

The two Root ninjas exchanged a glance, then charged towards Qingye one after the other.

hum!

The magnificent red light flashed and disappeared in an instant.

The Root ninja at the very front was caught off guard and fell under the genjutsu, his body freezing in place.

"Sharingan?! You're from the Uchiha clan?"

The Root ninja behind was shocked. Just as he was about to help his teammate break free of the genjutsu, the mysterious masked man in front of him flashed and appeared right in front of him.

There was no time to look away; upon seeing that crimson light, his gaze became unfocused.

The commotion quickly attracted even more people.

A dozen or so Root ninjas shouted to warn the people inside the base, and then they all rushed towards this side to block them.

"Watch out for his Sharingan!"

A troop commander hurriedly reminded him.

"I have no interest in wasting my time with you small fry," Qingye said coldly.

The Root ninjas surrounding him ignored him and attacked him in pairs, simultaneously heading towards the center.

But before they could even attack their target, the figure surrounded in the middle vanished into thin air!

Where are they?

"Is it an invisibility ninjutsu?"

"Where's the sensory ninja? Let's check quickly!"

"I've already looked, but I can't find it at all!"

The Root's sensory ninja was covered in sweat.

That mysterious masked man seemed to have vanished into thin air!

He couldn't even tell whether the other party had become invisible or left using some kind of space-time ninjutsu!

thump!

Suddenly, a Root ninja fell to the ground.

The Root ninjas around him all looked over, and immediately, three or four more Root ninjas lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

"Watch out, that guy's still here!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Root ninja lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the dozen or so Root ninjas who had just surrounded them fell to the ground.

Qingye temporarily deactivated his invisibility and did not rush to leave. Instead, he quietly watched as more Root ninjas surrounded him.

Even Shimura Danzo was among them!

"Sharingan!"

Danzo saw those crimson eyes, averted his gaze, and hid behind several Root ninjas: "Which Uchiha are you? What do you want?!"

He had already confirmed from that glance that the men of his Root lying all around him were only under an illusion and had fainted, but had not been killed.

What exactly is this guy's purpose?

"Shimura Danzo, you seem to really crave the power of the Sharingan."

Qingye chuckled softly, took out the small bottle containing the Sharingan that he had just taken, and gently shook it. The scarlet eyeballs floated up and down in the pale yellow liquid.

Danzo was startled and his mind tensed up.

The Sharingan has been discovered?

No!

No matter which Uchiha this guy is, we can't let him leave here today!

If word gets out that he secretly kept the Sharingan, the Uchiha clan will definitely not let it go, and the other ninja clans in the village will also stand against him!

Moreover, breaking into his Root base is practically delivering the Sharingan to his doorstep!

I'd be doing him a disservice if I didn't accept it!

"Take him down!"

Danzo swung his arm and quickly retreated.

However, the same thing happened again. The mysterious masked man wiped his arm across his body and disappeared completely. Even the sensory ninjas could not detect any trace of him.

"What kind of ability is this?"

"Invisibility ninjutsu? Or some kind of space-time ninjutsu—could it be a Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique?!"

Danzo remained tense, his mind racing.

The Mangekyou Sharingan possesses unique eye techniques, but even the Second Hokage, who had the most extensive research on the Sharingan, could hardly describe the specific and outrageous effects of these techniques.

Just as he was on guard, Danzo suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder!

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a blood-red tinge in the cold metallic gleam as an incredibly sharp kunai sliced ​​off his right arm along his shoulder!
