In Naruto, you can become a god through gacha pulls.

Thinking of this, Yoriichi's lips curled up slightly, and he began to look through the scrolls of the Uchiha clan.

"Phoenix Flower Fire Technique, Great Fireball Technique, Great Dragon Fire Technique..." Most of these are fire-style techniques that the Uchiha are good at, but Yoriichi has already learned most of them, so these techniques are not very useful to him anymore.

Yoriichi continued calmly flipping through the scrolls when suddenly a uniquely shaped scroll caught his eye. It was a dark purple, gold-plated scroll located at the very top of the scroll shelf.

The scroll was surrounded by a chakra barrier, giving it a somewhat sacred and inviolable appearance.

Yoriichi smiled slightly and reached out to touch the book, but the barrier repelled his hand.

"Does this mean I have to use the Sharingan?" Yoriichi pondered. Since it was a secret technique of the Uchiha clan, they were naturally afraid of it being stolen by outsiders.

Yoriichi closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, the three-tomoe jade beads slowly began to rotate.

With a click, the sound of a lock being opened rang out, and the barrier above the books disappeared.

Yoriichi flipped through the book, a look of joy spreading across his face.

The four large characters "Izanagi" are particularly eye-catching in the very center of the book.

"Danzo, let's go." Yoriichi stood up and said excitedly to the back.

"Oh, right, send the rest of the items to me, but leave the stone tablet here."

"Yes." Danzo's voice was numb; under the influence of Kotoamatsukami, he could only completely obey Yoriichi.

Yoriichi chuckled to himself and followed Danzo toward the outside of the basement.

"How's the Sharingan thing going?" Yoriichi asked.

"They're all in Root's lab now."

“Very good!” Yoriichi smiled slightly, and the two of them walked towards the outside world filled with a halo of light.

In the original Naruto manga, after the Uchiha clan was wiped out, Danzo stole a large number of Sharingan eyes as his own power, but most of them were wasted.

However, he was present this time as well, so these Sharingan eyes wouldn't be wasted so easily.

"Don't worry, Uchiha clansmen, I will cherish your power."

......

The laboratory of the roots.

Ryoma Aburame is directing the insect swarm to set up experimental facilities. This was a task assigned to him by Danzo Shimura this morning, and soon he will be conducting an experiment here.

Shan Zhongfeng slowly carried a heavy box into the laboratory, his face looking rather unwell.

"Phew." Yamanaka Kaze gently placed the box to the side of the laboratory. Through the slivers of light shining through the gaps in the cardboard box, one could see countless eyes inside.

—That's the Sharingan from the entire Uchiha clan.

"Has Lord Danzo sent the person he was supposed to contact?" Ryoma Aburame asked softly.

"They're outside."

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? The person who came is that person—the Third Hokage's beloved disciple, the rogue ninja Orochimaru."

“Ryoma!” Yamanaka Fu interrupted Aburame Ryoma, his eyes narrowing as he slowly spoke, “There are some things we just need to obey.”

"The realization of justice requires the paving of darkness."

Ryoma Aburame remained silent and continued with his work.

Just then, two figures appeared in the laboratory in an instant; one had a bandage wrapped around his left eye, and the other wore a swirling black mask.

"Lord Danzo, Lord Kenshin!" Upon seeing the two appear, Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Ryoma immediately bowed down and knelt in humility.

Upon seeing this, Yoriichi narrowed his eyes slightly through the hole in his mask.

"Choosing to control the Root organization was definitely the right decision; the people here are loyal enough."

"Has Orochimaru arrived?" Danzo's voice was slightly cold as he observed the layout of the laboratory.

"coming."

"Then let him in!"

Upon hearing the name Orochimaru, Yoriichi couldn't help but tremble slightly. In his previous life, when watching Naruto, Orochimaru was considered one of the earliest major villains.

He is powerful, ruthless, cunning, and treacherous! He is a noteworthy and extremely difficult character to deal with.

A bead of cold sweat appeared behind Yoriichi's mask, but it quickly dried naturally.

He naturally knew that the person secretly cooperating with Danzo was Orochimaru. After all, in the entire Konoha, Orochimaru was the most powerful scientist, especially skilled in human experimentation.

Even so, one should still be wary of such a person, Yoriichi clenched the four-cornered windmill eye in his hand.

This is what we got from Danzo—Shisui's other eye.

In his previous life, Danzo attempted to use this eye to control Mifune and support his ascension to the position of Hokage, but his plan was foiled. This eye, the most powerful genjutsu, was undoubtedly wasted by Danzo once again.

"So it's better to keep this eye in your own hands."

If Orochimaru ever harbors any ill intentions towards him, this eye can once again become his trump card. In fact, gaining the loyal support of Konoha's number one scientist is certainly not a loss.

Of course, this is all based on the worst-case scenario. Generally speaking, Orochimaru wouldn't attack him casually from within Root's base. The latest order given to Danzo was to protect him with all his might. If Orochimaru were to harbor any ill intentions, he probably wouldn't be able to leave this place.

However, before considering control, Yoriichi naturally preferred to obtain Orochimaru's assistance through cooperation.

Thinking of this, a tall, slender figure slowly pushed open the door of the laboratory in the distance. He was dressed in a black kimono with a thick purple rope belt around his waist, and his terrifying pupils, like those of a snake, concealed endless darkness.

The person who arrived was indeed Orochimaru.

Chapter 5: The Legendary Sannin of Konoha, Orochimaru Appears!

“Orochimaru…” Yoriichi recognized the man before him. In the cramped laboratory, Orochimaru’s terrifying snake eyes swept over the group, then his hoarse voice slowly spoke:

"It's been a long time, Danzo."

Danzo Shimura stood before Yoriichi, and nodded calmly.

"If you're ready, let's begin." As Danzo spoke, he slightly turned his body and looked at Yoriichi behind him.

"This is the person you're going to reform."

"Oh?" Orochimaru looked at Yoriichi with some doubt, his snake eyes flashing with disbelief.

"I originally thought I came here to conduct experiments on you." Orochimaru's brows narrowed slightly, and his gaze as he looked at Yoriichi became intriguing.

Based on his understanding of Danzo, it was highly unlikely that he would transfer his power to someone else.

"Or rather... is there something special about this person?"

Yoriichi met Orochimaru's gaze. His previous timidity had faded. Although he didn't look as robust as an adult, his demeanor was confident enough.

“Interesting.” Orochimaru slowly stepped forward, bent down, and looked into Yoriichi’s eyes.

"What's your name?"

"Kenshin." Yoriichi did not intend to tell Orochimaru his true identity, since the message sent to outsiders indicated that no one from the Uchiha clan, except for Sasuke, had survived.

This was exactly what Yoriichi wanted: to hide his identity until he became strong enough to stand on his own and fully protect his Uchiha identity.

"Mr. Orochimaru, let's begin the experiment on the transplantation of Sharingan and Hashirama cells."

Orochimaru smiled slightly, a strange light emanating from his eyes. "Then let's see what kind of power can be born after the Senju and Uchiha clans combine."

Seeing the thirst for knowledge and power in Orochimaru's eyes, Yoriichi smiled knowingly. Orochimaru's willingness to come here to conduct experiments for him must be partly due to his love of science.

In the original Naruto storyline, Orochimaru is an absolute mad scientist who pursues science at any cost, even conducting unauthorized human experiments. As a result, he was disowned by the Third Hokage and later failed to become Hokage for the same reason, leading him to leave Konoha.

Both Yoriichi and Orochimaru were pursuing power and authority, which made Yoriichi admire this former Konoha elder. Therefore, if Yoriichi wanted to win Orochimaru over, he had to do it in the same way.

After thinking for a moment, Yoriichi stretched out on the lab bed and closed his eyes tightly.

He could only think about these things after completing the experiment.

......

About three hours had passed. In front of the experimental bed, Orochimaru kept wiping the seemingly endless sweat from his forehead. The white gloves in his hands were already stained with countless drops of blood.

Yoriichi slowly sat up from the bed, a powerful force surging in his chest as if it were about to burst his chest.

"This is... the power of the Senju and Uchiha combined, the Sage Body!" Yoriichi felt a little dizzy, but his excitement was instantly overflowing.

A powerful aura emanated from his body, and Yoriichi felt as if he could shatter a thousand-pound steel bar with a single punch.

The body of the original Uchiha clan member, combined with the transplanted cells of the First Hokage, "God of Shinobi" Hashirama Senju! This feeling is absolutely exhilarating.

“I made the right bet.” Yoriichi’s lips curled slightly beneath his mask. He was certain that the power he had gained was ten times stronger than the power Danzo had gained in the original work.

Perhaps it's because of the body of his original wife from the Uchiha clan? Or perhaps it's the swirling vortex bloodline and Byakugan within his body?

Orochimaru stood with Danzo and the others, their eyes flickering slightly.

"This is the power of science!" Orochimaru seemed quite excited, but a sly look appeared in his eyes.

"Orochimaru, I advise you not to get involved with him." Shimura Danzo stared wide-eyed, his chakra surging rapidly within his body.

"Heh." Orochimaru gave a wicked smile. "Don't worry, it's just an appreciation of power."

Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Ryoma also showed wary expressions upon seeing this, for everyone knew the significance of Orochimaru.

At that moment, Yoriichi stepped forward and broke the silence, standing upright in front of Orochimaru with the Kusanagi sword in hand.

"Orochimaru-senpai, if you want to possess my body, how about we have a duel?"

"Oh?" Orochimaru's golden snake eyes froze for a moment. He glanced at the boy in front of him, an incredulous look appearing on his face.

"You want to challenge me?"

“No, it’s not a challenge.” Yoriichi smiled slightly. “It’s a duel, a duel with stakes.”

Upon hearing Yoriichi's words, Orochimaru burst into laughter, causing Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Ryoma, who were standing next to Yoriichi, to become somewhat nervous.

"Lord Kenshin... this." Yamanaka Fu's voice was weak, with a hint of conciliatory tone.

“It’s alright.” Yoriichi gently waved his sleeve, interrupting Yamanaka Fu.

He wasn't blindly betting against Orochimaru; even if he lost, he wouldn't abide by the rules, and Orochimaru couldn't do anything about it.

Kill him? This is the Root organization's base. Shimura Danzo, Yamanaka Fu, and the entire Root organization are watching with predatory eyes.

Moreover, Yoriichi still has the trump card of Kotoamatsukami! It is enough to make him invincible.

Winning the match would be different. On one hand, it would change Orochimaru's opinion of me, making him less likely to act rashly. On the other hand, I could use this opportunity to propose to Orochimaru the idea of ​​cooperating to take down Konoha.
