Chapter 486 Root Blade!
The visitor had golden vertical pupils and long straight black hair. She was wearing a white kimono and looked slim and slender.

Orochimaru!
I just don't know why, this figure gives me a strange feeling.

Of course, only Douping and the others were aware of this feeling, Danzo was unaware of it.

"Orochimaru, you're late!"

Danzo questioned somewhat dissatisfied.

"I am late because I have to prepare what you need, Elder Danzo!"

Orochimaru's feminine voice was like the sound of a snake's tongue, making one's scalp tingle.

transaction!

It turns out that Danzo quietly left Konoha to meet Orochimaru in order to trade with him.

Tang Ping was not surprised by this.

In the original plot, there are actually many places that hint at the connection between Danzo and Orochimaru.

For example, in the Konoha Collapse Plan, Danzo and the Root seemed to have disappeared, which was an obvious hint.

Moreover, the limbs that Danzo made using Hashirama's cells were themselves provided by Orochimaru.

It's irrefutable evidence!
Otherwise, it couldn't have been made by those researchers at the root?

Research work has always been a field for geniuses.

A capable researcher is better than countless mediocre researchers, let alone a chosen researcher like Orochimaru.

The Root Department actually has a research department, and it is of a decent size, but they are just asked to do some work that does not require high technical skills step by step.

Don't count on them for creation.

In that kind of environment at the root, it is impossible for any creativity to arise.

So, Danzo and Orochimaru, one with technology and the other with money and resources, hit it off perfectly.

I just don't know what kind of research Danzo asked Orochimaru to do.

"Stuff?"

Danzo asked, he was a little impatient to see it.

Hiss! !

In the neighing sound.

A giant snake emerged from the ground and spit out a humanoid monster.

Yes, a humanoid monster.

It is about three meters tall, but looks like a fusion of snake and human, with snake scales covering its body and cold snake eyes.

"I gave you so many resources, and you only made this thing?"

Danzo took a look at the monster in front of him, then questioned Orochimaru with some dissatisfaction.

Yes, in his opinion, this thing was a bit too bulky.

For ninjas, bigger is not always better.

"Elder Danzo, the experiment you gave me was only about the strength of a Chunin, but now after my transformation, it is equivalent to a special Jonin who specializes in taijutsu. You can test its strength yourself!"

Orochimaru introduced his work confidently.

It turns out that this monster was an experiment given to Orochimaru by Danzo, and it became like this after being transformed and enhanced.

That's right!

It is the product of the 'Demigod Project'.

At the beginning, Dou Ping cooperated with Uchiha, intending to use each other to fish and attract investment from Konoha's top management.

But he didn't expect that after getting the finished product, they kicked him away and joined forces with the village's top leaders to conduct research.

After the village leaders obtained several finished products for transplanting two hearts, Danzo's roots secretly intercepted a finished product and gave it to Orochimaru, entrusting him to analyze the technology and find ways to transform and enhance it.

Gan!
Tang Ping, who was dozens of meters away, cursed in his heart.

He knew that Uchiha Fugaku was unreliable, but he never expected him to be so unreliable.

It's fine if you want to break away from yourself and cooperate with the village, but you are willing to hand over only a few finished products to the village leaders. You are simply idiots.

Looking at the finished product transformed by Orochimaru, even if he only took a look at the appearance, Dou Ping knew that this must be a technology to "scam funds."

Because his Demigod Project was to implant a second heart in the Genin with the cheapest funds, so that they could be improved in all aspects.

Orochimaru's transformation and improvement was to madly squeeze his two hearts and force out his potential, without considering any consequences.

Even if it doesn't fight, this experiment won't survive for long.

Danzo suddenly threw away the cane in his hand and punched the monster covered with snake scales in front of him. Bang!
His fist hit the snake's scales, causing it to stagger back a few steps before it could steady itself.

A punch blessed by chakra is quite powerful.

"Let Elder Danzo see your strength. Attack!"

Orochimaru could naturally see that Danzo wanted to inspect the goods, so he cooperated and gave the order.

call!
The fist as big as a sandbag smashed towards Danzo with a strong wind. If it hit, the force would definitely be no less than several tons.

Such exaggerated strength is naturally due to the body size.

With a height of three meters and a weight, it is more than a hundred times easier to exert several tons of force than with an ordinary person.

Very clever idea!

This body of muscles and scales can be seen as an alternative form of power armor.

Normally, an ordinary human heart cannot support such a body, but with a 'second heart', supporting such a body is no problem.

He is only three meters tall, not because Orochimaru doesn't want to grow taller.

It’s because the heart can support the body, but the meridians, bones and the like cannot. No matter how big the body is, it can easily be crushed by itself.

Of course, the price was extremely high.

Completely turned into a monster!

A three-meter-tall body can't be considered a "human being", right?

The physical changes are not so bad, but the problem is that the IQ has obviously been affected, and it seems rigid and mechanical.

孽 孽!
Orochimaru + Danzo can really do anything.

While Dohei was assessing the intelligence of this monster in his mind, Danzo had also gained a complete understanding of the strength of this three-meter-tall monster.

"Yes, I am very satisfied!"

Danzo looked at the three-meter-tall humanoid monster that stopped at the order, and slowly stroked the other's smooth snake scales with his hand, as if he didn't see the other's hideous appearance.

"Since the time is too short, this is the only level I can reach. If I am willing to continue investing, I will definitely be able to improve further!"

Orochimaru's voice was very bewitching.

It’s like a startup boss constantly telling investors how good the investment prospects of his project are, and that they will make money as long as they invest.

But in fact, only you know how many pitfalls there are.

Anyway, Tang Ping has already found a lot of pitfalls.

At least the second heart technology should not have been completely solved by the opponent.

Even if it can be solved, it is definitely not easy to do. Otherwise, there would not just be one experimental subject, but at least dozens of experimental subjects.

"It's fine to continue investing, but Orochimaru, you'd better understand that now only I can provide you with these things, so you'd better not deceive me!"

Danzo agreed to Orochimaru's proposal for additional funding, but he also gave him a veiled warning.

He had seen all kinds of storms in Shinobi, and he knew Orochimaru's character well. Of course, he knew that the other party was trying to cheat funds from him, but he still agreed.

There's nothing we can do about it. Konoha has been researching for such a long time but has gained nothing. Even though Orochimaru requires a lot of resources and funding, he has really achieved some results.

Snapped!
A scroll was thrown to Danzo by Orochimaru.

"This is research data, but the success rate is less than 5%. A second heart is too difficult to transplant. I don't know how Tang Pingjun did it. It's really curious, hiss!"

Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, as if he was very curious about the 100% success of Dohei's second heart transplant.

Yes, among the transformation surgeries studied by Orochimaru, the most difficult one was the transplant of a second heart. For this reason, he could only use various drugs to try to stabilize it, which resulted in a huge increase in mortality and cost.

After reading the information on the scroll, Danzo snorted coldly:

"Hmph, I will send you enough materials and resources. I need to get enough Root Blades as soon as possible!"

As for the name 'Root Blade', it was naturally something he had just come up with.

These modified experiments will become sharp blades at the roots, tearing apart any enemy that threatens the village.

After that, the two agreed on the next transaction... before going their separate ways.

The three people in the cave nodded and separated.

Hyuga Sogetsu tracks down Orochimaru.

The Rinnegan's ten-kilometer field of view allows her to track at extremely long distances, and she can see through all kinds of camouflage and arrangements, without having to worry about losing the target.

As for Dohei and Uchiha Mei, they would naturally go against Danzo and take back the Mangekyō.

Of course, sacks were also carried by them.
