Naruto: The Uchiha's Scientific Madman

Chapter 22 Red Bean's Choice

Konoha Village.

Inside Orochimaru's secret base.

A secret experiment is underway.

Danzo lay on the laboratory table.

Orochimaru personally led a secret experiment to transplant Hashirama cells.

This is the price Danzo paid for funding Orochimaru's research over the years.

The laboratory is now running out of materials.

Orochimaru had no choice but to comply with Danzo's demands and complete this pre-arranged experiment.

Actually.

Orochimaru understood Danzo's fear of him.

But he naively thought that as long as he didn't compete for the next Hokage, Danzo's close relationship with him would definitely continue.

If Danzo could become the next Hokage.

He will have access to more experimental resources.

However, Uchiha Ao's reminder was like a sharp thorn, piercing his heart and causing a dull ache.

soon.

The well-prepared experiment proceeded without any unexpected incidents.

Danzo covered his right eye and slowly stood up from the operating table.

"Orochimaru, I didn't expect your skills to be so proficient. Why have you kept me waiting for so long?"

After Danzo stood up, he made no attempt to hide the resentment in his tone. He straightened his clothes, covering the wood-grained skin that was visible on his chest.

"To ensure the experiment can proceed smoothly."

"This time, we can't let you take unnecessary risks!"

Orochimaru picked up a clean white cloth and wiped the blood off his hands.

He thought to himself that this experiment was largely thanks to the ideas Qing had put forward, which gave him a deeper understanding of the first generation of cells.

Several Root medical ninjas quickly crowded to the front of the stage. One of them, with greenish-blue chakra appearing in his hands, approached Danzo's chest.

Orochimaru glanced at Danzo and noticed that the wound on his chest was healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

They're really well prepared!

Five medical ninjas and more than ten Jonin were all surrounding the laboratory.

If Danzo encounters any problems on the operating table,

These guys will definitely fight him to the death.

Orochimaru sighed inwardly. Danzo, the only person in the village who could cover his experiments, had become wary of him. It seemed that he really couldn't stay in Konoha any longer.

Although I was mentally prepared

But Orochimaru showed no sign of it.

He asked calmly, "When will the next batch of materials be delivered?"

Danzo covered up his Sharingan in his right eye with a bandage.

The primary cells in the body have already taken effect.

The Yin Release chakra generated by the Sharingan in the eye sockets clashed with the First Hokage cells transplanted into the chest, eventually forming a dynamic balance.

Danzo smiled and realized that his Sharingan, which had been constantly draining his chakra, had finally calmed down.

The Yang Release chakra generated by the First Hokage's cells helped alleviate the chakra depletion of his Sharingan.

Their strength has returned to its peak.

"Just wait! After the village stops checking so strictly for a while, I'll send the things over to you."

Danzo waved his hand dismissively.

He no longer wanted to act out anything with Orochimaru.

"Oh, right, remember to hand over that Uchiha clansman in your base. He's very likely the attacker in the Nine-Tails incident! The sooner you hand him over, the sooner you'll receive the next batch of supplies."

Danzo glanced at Orochimaru and reminded him again.

His tone was full of threat.

They planned to get one more person from Orochimaru before selling him.

Orochimaru's vertical pupils swept across the surroundings.

There are many people in Danzo.

to beat.

I'll get my revenge when I get the chance!

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips, and his figure vanished in a blur.

"Lord Danzo...aren't you going to leave him here?"

Hidden in the shadows, the mountain wind emerged from the darkness and asked in confusion.

"Orochimaru is no weakling. Although we can capture him, the Root organization will suffer heavy casualties."

"Let's leave him to Hiruzen Sarutobi to deal with!"

After covering his right eye, Danzo put on a black kimono with the help of a female subordinate, took the cane that had been prepared in advance, and limped out of the Root training ground, heading straight for the heart of Konoha Village—the Hokage Building!

After Orochimaru left Root, he did not return home.

He made a detour to the Uchiha clan.

I had planned to take care of Uchiha Ao's family and give them some money before I left.

But when he noticed the ANBU spies hidden near the Uchiha clan, he hesitated for a moment, dared not take the risk, did not show himself, and turned back home.

When Orochimaru returned to his home in the village.

He saw Hongdou waiting at his doorstep.

Accompanied by two classmates, one seemed to be named Kurenai Yuhi? Kurenai Yuhi's daughter, and the other... was the teacher's youngest son.

Orochimaru glanced around, but only Asuma made his gaze linger for a few seconds.

"Lord Orochimaru, you're back!?"

With a smile on her face, Hongdou said excitedly.

She hadn't seen Orochimaru-sensei for a while, and a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a firm resolve.

"Teacher, I will definitely help you... so that you can become the next Hokage!"

Red Bean thought to herself silently.

Even when misunderstood by her teacher, she had no complaints.

Although she has become stronger and has earned the admiration and envy of her friends, she is not happy.

Because she discovered that Uchiha Ao was missing.

The teacher's secret base was also attacked, and the laboratory was left in a mess.

The laboratory's secrets may have been exposed.

To avoid the exposure of the teacher's taboo research and causing panic among the villagers.

She took some remedial actions.

The Third Hokage was informed of the experiment's contents beforehand.

And he gained the Hokage's approval, giving Orochimaru a chance to confess.

"Lord Orochimaru."

Kurenai bowed respectfully.

Orochimaru completely ignored the two and looked at Sarutobi Asuma beside him, saying, "What are you doing here? Asuma, I remember you were only twelve or thirteen years old, how come you already have such a big beard..."

"Could it be that his physical development is so abnormal? Hmm...that's interesting."

Orochimaru's gaze toward Asuma changed; it became like that of a greedy venomous snake.

Asma felt a chill run down his spine.

I subconsciously took two steps back.

He waved his hand and explained, "Brother...Brother! I came with Hong to visit you...Hongdou hasn't seen you for a long time and was worried about your safety."

Just one look from him made him feel a sense of impending death.

This feeling is terrifying.

Asuma never liked his senior, Orochimaru, and had no affection for him.

Asma was frightened.

Orochimaru's lips curled into a sneer.

Qing had never behaved so poorly in the face of his gaze.

How could a teacher raise such a useless son?

He's not even as good as that kid Shinnosuke.

He gently shook his head, turned to look at Hongdou, and carefully examined the curse mark on Hongdou's neck. His eyes narrowed involuntarily.

Five Elements Sealing Technique...

This is the work of the Third Generation Teacher!

He sighed inwardly.

In the end, Hongdou chose the village!

The so-called bond of teacher-student mentorship.

That's all there is to it.

Orochimaru's last remaining bond with his master shattered completely. He didn't respond to Anko's words and walked coldly toward his home.

"Teacher, the Hokage is looking for you..."

"Come with me to see the Hokage!"

Red Bean ran towards Orochimaru's retreating figure, knelt at the door of Orochimaru's house, and called out in a sorrowful voice.

She tried to prove her feelings for her teacher through her pleading.

The girl's eyes were full of expectation.

They tried to pull the teacher out of the darkness.

Hopefully, the teacher will heed her advice and confess everything he has done to the Third Hokage.

They were under the protection of the Third Hokage.

The teacher will definitely be fine.

But she didn't know what Orochimaru's true pursuit was.

From this moment on, the relationship between the two will only drift further and further apart.

Orochimaru paused for a moment as he entered the room.

Then he gently closed the door.

"Let's go, Anko! Lord Orochimaru doesn't want to see you. He didn't even say hello. He clearly doesn't care about you..."

Kurenai watched Orochimaru leave calmly, his indifferent gaze unbearable to her pride, and she couldn't help but advise Anko.

"He doesn't even obey the Hokage's orders, how could he possibly listen to you!"

Such willful and reckless behavior will only lead to self-destruction!

"His judgment is so poor that he even recruited a loser like Uchiha Ao. He has no idea that you have talent. You shouldn't continue down the same path as him and go to your death."

She didn't want to see her friend looking so sad.

Since Anko started following Orochimaru, she has never received any attention and has only ever followed Orochimaru around.

He used various means to curry favor, attempting to attract Orochimaru's attention.

But Orochimaru always maintained this indifferent attitude.

To keep people at arm's length.

Leaving now is the best choice!

After all, at the age of twelve, his friend has already surpassed all his peers except Kakashi and possesses the strength of a Jonin. His future development may not be much worse than Orochimaru's.
