Chapter 53 Unexpected Visitors
In the laboratory.
Orochimaru, who hadn't slept for three days and three nights, forced himself to stay awake and looked through the experimental records in front of him.
Next to him, a white-haired young man was concentrating on observing the slices under the microscope.
"Lord Orochimaru, Sample C is still unresponsive."
After observing for a while, the white-haired young man shook his head in frustration, his tone full of disappointment.
"Haha, didn't I tell you, Bi Liuhu, you don't have to call me sir?"
Orochimaru shook his head and closed the document in his hand.
The young man next to him named Beiliuhu was his friend from childhood.
He is from the same period as Jiraiya and Tsunade.
The relationship between the few of them is pretty good.
However, he, Jiraiya and Tsunade were noticed by Sarutobi Sensei.
Hokage followed an ordinary jonin.
The communication between the few people gradually faded.
Until recently, my experiment reached a bottleneck.
It was obviously difficult for Guangzhi and his men to do it alone.
Thinking about where to get more helpers, Orochimaru suddenly thought of Hiruko. He remembered that when he was a child, this good friend always had good grades in written tests.
So he took time out to go to his house to invite him personally.
Then, he saw his good friend who had been promoted to Jonin, sitting at home listlessly.
Hearing his invitation, the pair of eyes that had been gray once again lit up.
He didn't even ask for salary and just packed up his things and moved into the base that same day.
Kakuzu: Please get more employees like this.
Hearing Orochimaru's words, Higurashi smiled shyly.
During this period, the reputation of the "Three Great Ninjas of Konoha" has been circulating in the village.
But as their friend, I have always been unknown.
Although he was promoted to Jonin with the help of this battle, he was still far behind them.
Just when I didn't know what to do.
The appearance of Orochimaru is like a ray of light that illuminates the darkness.
Brought myself hope.
I am not completely useless.
Realizing that he was needed by his friends, Beiluo quickly joined the experiment with a positive attitude.
"Although the research progress of Hashirama's cells remains the same..."
As Orochimaru spoke, he took out a bottle of sample from a cabinet nearby.
"But using the Tobirama cells, we developed this wonderful thing."
Looking at the glass bottle in front of him, Orochimaru showed a smile.
"I think it won't be long before we can solve the mystery of Hashirama's cells."
......
While Orochimaru was conducting experiments in full swing.
Danzo met Uchiha Takashi at home, who came alone.
The two had a private and brief conversation.
No one knows what the two said.
All we know is that Danzo came to the base after Uchiha Takashi left.
Today's training was stopped and orders were given to distribute combat equipment.
All personnel are on combat readiness.
Standing in the stands, looking at the people below wearing masks and Anbu uniforms.
Danzo nodded in satisfaction.
Although most of them are young people and children.
But in terms of combat capability, he is not afraid of the Anbu under Hiruzen at all.
"Lord Danzo..."
Dan, who was standing beside him, was also dressed neatly at Danzo's request.
The handsome face under the mask was full of worry.
"Should we inform the Hokage in case there is any misunderstanding..."
Dan was concerned about Danzo's behavior of gathering a large number of people in the village without informing the Sandaime.
What if it attracts the attention of the Anbu and causes misunderstandings...
"Don't worry, Duan."
Danzo didn't mind Dan's worries at all.
He knew Hiruzen very well.
If you tell the other party in advance, he will only object.
Only when you create a fait accompli will that person accept the status quo.
Another advantage of doing this is that if you fail, all the responsibility for the matter will be attributed to you alone.
At that time, Hiruzen would only need to reprimand himself and remove himself from his position.
Wait until the future is calm before activating yourself.
This was also the way the two of them got along in their previous life.
Therefore, even if Hiruzen heard about this, he would just pretend he didn't know.
Or gather the team one step later and come to see the situation.
It’s a pity that this guy Duan is still too immature.
I couldn't see through the mystery.
Seeing Danzo's confident look, Duan did not insist, but quietly retreated behind Danzo.
The few of them stopped talking and just quietly felt the passage of time.
......
evening.
All the Uchiha jonin came to the basement of the Kuon residence.
Today is an important day for the Uchiha.
Due to the death of the great elder Ruishu, the clan must elect another great elder to take over.
But now, the only two people in the clan who have the prestige to hold this position are Uchiha Akira and the current clan leader, Uchiha Hisaon.
If Uchiha Ming takes over the position of the chief elder, then a second elder will need to be selected.
Some Uchiha people who have enough strength and prestige have begun to get ready.
Even if it was Uchiha Hisaon who ascended the throne in the end.
The vacant position of clan leader is also a good opportunity.
After all, the young patriarch Fugaku is still too young.
They had various reasons to oppose his succession.
At the agreed time, everyone was in place.
The only two missing were Hisaon and Fugaku.
Everyone went from waiting patiently at the beginning to whispering to each other.
In the end, they just started discussing it loudly.
"Master Jiuyuan is not coming. Could it be that you regret it?"
"Yes, this lord has always favored Fugaku, but Fugaku is too young. Do you really want to let a young boy take on the position of clan leader?"
"This will bring the Uchiha clan into the abyss."
"That young patriarch seems resolute, but he actually has no opinion."
"Yes, I have seen him hanging out with guys from the Hyuga clan many times."
"What......"
Amid the discussions of the crowd, the door slowly opened.
Kuon walked in slowly with the support of Fugaku.
With the appearance of the two people, the discussions gradually dissipated.
He sat down cross-legged slowly, and looked at the people in front of him with a smile.
Especially Uchiha Ming, Jiuyuan looked at him deeply.
Uchiha Ming was very open about the long gaze.
Even looking back at each other.
"Everyone."
He invited Fugaku to sit next to him. Clearing his throat, Kuon spoke.
"I have something I want to announce."
Everyone pricked up their ears instantly, afraid of missing the key point.
"From today on, my Uchiha clan will no longer have the position of elder."
