Guardians of Tirisfal of Konoha

Chapter 68 The Legendary Intercolumnar Cells

"Columnar cells... Heh, I didn't expect that the village has done so much research on this in secret."

Looking at the large amount of information in the secret laboratory, Wu couldn't help but secretly startled.

Behind these materials is a large amount of resource consumption and the lives of volunteers.

"Hehe... Wu, are you surprised?"

Orochimaru looked at these materials with bright eyes: "It really took no effort!"

"Then Orochimaru, all the materials ordered by the third Hokage-sama have been delivered, I hope you will not disappoint him."

Enlightenment turned his head and glanced at the man wearing the strange animal mask who brought the materials.

Naruto is directly under Anbe.

"I didn't expect you to come to deliver the materials...Danzang, I'm afraid you are not very willing?"

Orochimaru is obviously very familiar with this masked Anbe, Satoru thought for a while, and in retrospect, this guy should be the white-haired Jōnin who came to see Orochimaru because he was able to join Anbe when he just graduated.

【Tsk, so what is the use of this mask? Acquaintances can see it. 】

Satoru complained silently, and the conversation between Orochimaru and Shiraga Anbe fell into his ears:

"Speaking of which, I originally wanted you to be my research assistant, but since you joined Anbu, I don't have the ability to ask someone from my teacher—especially now, your tasks are even heavier."

Orochimaru felt a little regretful, and seemed to recognize the opponent's ability very much.

"Haha...don't make fun of me, Orochimaru."

The white-haired Anbe waved his hands in a very regretful tone:

"In terms of talent, I'm far behind the three of you, and in terms of research... your disciples are so outstanding, that's the limit of Blood Successor!"

Shirato Anbe turned to Satoru's direction, and then back to Orochimaru:

"Three Hokage-sama's decision caused some dissatisfaction with Danzo-sama, you still have to be careful."

"The teacher is Hokage..."

Orochimaru sneered:

"Danzo's ambition, does he think I don't know? He tried to win me over not once or twice, but I'm not interested in being controlled by him."

"Is it the control method of the 'root'... Captain Sarutobi also has some criticisms about this."

The white-haired Shinobu was silent for a moment, then nodded:

"Then, I shall take my leave."

"If volunteers are needed, I'd like to apply... With your ability, maybe you can really succeed in research?"

After waving his hand, Anbu with white hair flashed away amidst Orochimaru shaking his head and chuckling.

"Captain Sarutobi? Teacher Orochimaru, is that the son of the third Hokage?"

Satoru noticed a person that Shira-haired Jonin mentioned.

"That's right," Orochimaru nodded, "The current Captain Anbe is the son of Sarutobi-sensei, but I heard that the teacher is always strong..."

Orochimaru had a strange expression on his face: "Master Biwako seems to be pregnant again."

"..."

Enlightenment found that the changes in Orochimaru are really not small, can you imagine the way Orochimaru jokes and complains?

Although the current Orochimaru is still the same at ordinary times, in front of those who are close to them, it will occasionally change a little.

"Okay, Enlightenment, time is running out, let's take a look... Don't worry about that old guy in Danzo for the time being, whether it's me or you, he can't move easily."

Orochimaru is already calling Satoru to start looking up information, but Satoru knows exactly what is going on with him.

Blood succession limit boundary, that is nonsense.

It's just that the principle of magic and ninjutsu is different.

However, the scientific research ability of the mage is not inferior to the ninja who specializes in scientific research.

Every qualified mage is a scholar.

Among the eight factions of arcane magic, there is also one that studies life——

Necromancy!

However, as a forbidden academic sect, necromantic magic is only spread in a small area in private.

But would Medivh care about the Kirin Tor's ban?

Obviously not.

How did Karazhan, full of skeletons and ghosts, come about...

So, although not much, the Book of Medivh does have a section on necromancy.

However, to a large extent, necromantic magic is an application of arcane power to control the power of death.

But in the ninja world, the power of death (necromancer), just like the power of light (holy light), the power of shadow (void), and the power of chaos (evil energy), has not materialized.

Strictly speaking, even the forbidden technique, Reincarnation of Unholy Earth, is an application of the phenomenon of the soul, belonging to the category of nature and life and summoning.

Therefore, in necromancy, the part about biological research is actually the knowledge that Satoru needs.

If the power of death is removed, Satoru will not be able to create a self-aware skeleton in the ninja world.

However, if the part of biological research is used in medical treatment, it will be rare and valuable knowledge.

Based on this knowledge alone, Wu is already full of confidence in the research of interstitial cells.

"I'm afraid the old man Danzo won't give up easily. It's true that he can't move us, but it doesn't mean he won't use other means."

Satoru stepped forward, just now Shirafa Anbe also said that Danzo was very dissatisfied with the arrangement of the third Hokage Hiruzaru Sarutobi, and with this guy's habits, it would be strange if he didn't do something.

"And let's talk about it first."

Satoru looked at Orochimaru seriously:

"I don't like that dead old man in Danzang, and you probably know the reason, so I don't want to go to him with the research results I participated in."

"Oshemaru, teacher, don't carry me behind your back, cooperate with Danzo..."

"Danzo... Hehe, to a certain extent, he and I are competitors."

Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils turned, put down the materials in his hand, and turned to Wu with great interest:

"With my current status, do you think I will be satisfied as a genius?"

"I'm also somewhat interested in Hokage... Is this a matter of course? Even Rotoki and Dan are aiming at this."

"When I become Hokage, the village's thousands of ninjutsu and mysterious forbidden techniques will all be open to me..."

Orochimaru pointed to himself, and spread his hands again:

"Young people's ideals are naturally not a problem... But Danzo, his goal is also to become Hokage."

"It's just that Mr. Sarutobi probably won't give him this chance... His age probably won't allow him to wait forever."

"And the research on intercolumn cells is an important part of his capital of 'waiting'."

"You mean, the huge vitality contained in the cells between the columns?"

Recalling that when Mr. Guo Wang became the "Agent of Hokage", he was still full of black hair in his seventies, and he was growing old and strong, so Wu understood one of the functions of interstitial cells.

"That's right..."

Orochimaru raised the information in his hand, sneered and said:

"So when Mr. Sarutobi almost wanted to give up this research, Danzo would strongly oppose it and make the research continue."

"I've been paying attention to this matter for a long time...but I was able to directly intervene because of you, Wu."

Orochimaru's face turned serious, and he nodded seriously to Wu:

"Then in the laboratory, you are my colleague...not my student or disciple."

"You have absolute control over your research results...I will explain this to Sarutobi-sensei."
