Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 81 Danzo's Spirit of Sacrifice

root base.

In Danzo's secret office, he opened a drawer and took out a glass bottle shimmering with a dark green liquid.

Peng.

The bottle cap was opened, and a pure aura of chakra leaked out.

He rolled up his wide sleeves, revealing his heavy right arm, which was tightly locked with a sealing device made of special chakra metal.

The seal was broken, and the bandages fell off.

Danzo took a deep breath, stretched out his pale arm covered with scarlet Sharingan eyes, and showed a relieved expression.

"The cells of the First Hokage are too powerful; even the Sharingan cannot suppress them, and they need to be sealed for a long time."

After the Uchiha clan was massacred,

Danzo made a deal with Orochimaru, and after numerous human experiments, he eventually transplanted ten Sharingan eyes onto his right arm.

Including the eye that was previously gouged out from Zhishui, there are a total of eleven.

Without Uchiha blood, he would have a huge mental burden after transplanting the Sharingan, so at Orochimaru's urging, he fused Hashirama Senju's cells into his right arm.

Although it achieves a slight balance between physical and mental energy.

However, it requires frequent maintenance afterward.

The glass bottle contained a medicine prepared by Orochimaru that could balance the Sharingan and Hashirama cells, preventing Danzo from being devoured by the Hashirama cells or overwhelmed by the mental burden of the Sharingan.

However, this prevented Danzo from severing his connection with Orochimaru.

Some time ago, Orochimaru even threatened him with a shortage of medicines, demanding the village's defense map.

Left with no other choice, he handed over the defense map to the other party.

However, he had spies lurking around Orochimaru, and he was confident that he would detect any movement by the venomous snake hiding in the Sound Village. He was not in any danger if the enemy obtained a defense map.

Furthermore, after the Chunin Exams, he would discuss with Hiruzen Sarutobi the matter of changing the village's defensive lines.

Orochimaru's schemes were doomed to fail.

However, this matter has crossed Danzo's bottom line. He will not allow any incidents that harm Konoha to occur and must end the cooperation with Orochimaru as soon as possible.

Danzo thought to himself, "We should be getting good news from Laboratory Nine soon, right?"

Danzo secretly collected the experimental equipment and data left behind by Orochimaru after his defection and transformed them into a new laboratory.

Laboratory Nine is a secret base dedicated to the research of first-generation cells.

Most of the test subjects were death row inmates and bandits who disregarded human life.

Of course, when it comes to injections of drugs that ordinary test subjects cannot withstand, there are not enough wandering ninjas, and some ninjas will suddenly disappear or die in the line of duty while on missions.

Danzo felt no remorse for doing this.

He snorted coldly and said, "We've already done an investigation. They were all people who, during missions, had contact with ninjas from other villages for various reasons and accidents, but concealed it. They don't have enough loyalty to the village."

According to reports from Root members, elite Jonin Kakashi Hatake actually let go of a spy woman named Karin from the Land of Locked Lands who wanted to steal information from the village, despite having conclusive evidence.

How foolish, Hiruzen.

Such ambiguous behavior with ninjas from other villages should result in having one's Sharingan gouged out and being imprisoned.

As the village leader, how could you act as if nothing had happened? How could someone like you be expected by your teacher to become a shadow?

Thinking of this,

Danzo's emotions fluctuated violently, and even the Sharingan in his right arm began to spin wildly, with waves of numbness, itching, and stinging sensations surging out.

Take out the syringe.

Most of the bottle of dark green liquid was injected into the right arm.

His muscles tensed up, swelling like balloons, causing Danzo to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.

Two minutes later, the trembling muscles gradually calmed down, and the wildly spinning Sharingan also stopped as if it had been injected with a sedative.

"call."

Danzo let out a long sigh of relief, quickly wrapped the bandages around his neck, and put on the heavy sealing device.

Everything is back to normal.

After locking the remaining medicine in the drawer, Danzo gently tapped the table.

A figure quickly appeared and respectfully knelt on one knee.

Danzo lowered his eyelids slightly and asked, "Has the game merchant come to the village?"

"Yes."

The root members' answers were very concise.

As a special mobile force directly under Danzo, from the moment they became the root unit, they abandoned emotions and names, with only the will and mission to protect the village.

There is no past, nor is there a future.

Danzo frowned, pondering, "Is daring to show himself so openly foolish, or is he relying on something?"

Danzo made some inferences based on what he heard from several players in the Shimura family.

A game merchant from another world

All abilities can only be fully utilized in the game; bringing them into reality requires extremely expensive reward points.

The game merchant with such terrifying abilities did not directly seize the ninja world by force. Instead, he chose to gradually erode the ninja world's money and ninjutsu through games and transactions.

Does this mean he also has to follow the rules?

Those bizarre methods would come at a very high price if they were to be used in the real world.

Once this speculation arose, the urge to test the waters became uncontrollable.

Danzo said calmly, "Jackal, from now on you are no longer a Root ninja, but a subordinate of Orochimaru, lurking beside me."

Some of the Root ninjas were talented children recruited from ninja clans.

The other part consists of seeds like jackals, selected from orphanages and nurtured through fierce battles.

As a valuable tool, the former should not be discarded lightly.

But there are plenty of tools like Jackal whose strength barely reaches the level of Chunin.

"Yes."

The jackal wearing a mask had a voice devoid of any emotion.

"I will break the curse on you, the seal that severs the root of tongue-related calamities."

Danzo tossed him a bottle of blood-red potion and said, "Go kill the game merchant and force him to reveal his methods as much as possible. All of this is for the village. Drink this potion when the time is right."

This is a substandard medicine that Orochimaru once concocted. After taking it, it can frantically stimulate the body's cells, overdraw life force, and activate a state called Cursed Seal Mode.

Unfortunately, this state can only be maintained for a few minutes before death due to excessive depletion of life force.

With this potion, we can frame Orochimaru for this attack.

"Yes."

The jackal took the red potion and disappeared from the spot.

Danzo sensed the jackal's departure and sighed inwardly.

He knew very well that

Even if I were to take action myself, the probability of killing the game merchant would be almost zero, let alone sending a Chunin, who would only be throwing their lives away.

But this doesn't stop him from testing the waters, and it also helps to annoy Orochimaru.

As for the fate of the Root ninjas?

From the day they joined Root, they had to risk their lives to support the great tree of Konoha Village, like roots buried deep in the ground.

This is the will of the root.

If one day he were to sacrifice himself, Danzo believed he would not hesitate.

The reason why Hiruzen Sarutobi beat me to it was not because of my cowardice or fear, but because the monkey was too cunning.

boom.

Just then, a secret scroll from the Roots was teleported out using a spirit medium.
