Orochimaru walked through the woods with a gloomy expression, looking back from time to time to observe the situation behind him.
In the close battle with Danzo just now, he was sure to win, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, a Sharingan suddenly appeared on Danzo's arm, and he was controlled by the Sharingan illusion for half a second without noticing.
In a ninja battle, half a second is enough time to do a lot of things. Danzo seriously injured him and took away the experimental subject adapted to the first-generation cells.
In this contest with Danzo, he was undoubtedly at a disadvantage, but he did not fail!
After running to a safer place and making sure that there were no pursuers, Orochimaru bit his finger and patted the ground. Following the channeling, there were venomous snakes coming towards him.
After carefully examining the poisonous snake, Orochimaru's expression became uncertain.
The flesh and blood sample he ordered the venomous snake to bite was missing, which meant that someone had attacked his psychic beast, but he had no way of knowing who it was.
Keeping this lesson in mind, Orochimaru took out the blood and flesh samples and put them into the culture medium. With these samples, he might be able to obtain the data of the subject who adapted to the first-generation cell experiment.
After doing all this, Orochimaru jumped to the top of the tree. With his eyesight, it was not difficult to see the Shadow Rock statue in the distance.
After a few glances, Orochimaru packed his things and prepared to return to the village. On the way to escape, he discovered many Anbu and made a detour.
As a Sannin, he is not afraid of the ANBU in these villages.
But after going through such a big battle, the secret of his human experiments is bound to be known to the Hokage.
Given his contribution and status, it is naturally impossible for him to be executed, but future experiments will definitely be supervised.
For him, not being able to experiment as he pleases and explore the ultimate in ninjutsu is more uncomfortable than death.
Maybe he should look for a place where he can experiment as he pleases.
On the way back to the village, Orochimaru secretly made a decision.
But before that, he still had some things left in the village that needed to be taken away.
Shortly after Orochimaru left, a whirlpool appeared where he had stayed. The masked man and Nepenthes Zetsu were looking at Orochimaru's back. The previous battle attracted their attention.
"Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, might be a good chess piece!"
…
At night.
The conference room of the Hokage Building was brightly lit, and an emergency meeting was held here.
The meeting was attended by the former Hokage, the village's advisory elders, and the Sannin Jiraiya, who were all the real high-level leaders of the village.
As one of the senior officials summoned, Jiraiya was somewhat unaware of the situation. With doubts in his eyes, he looked at the Fourth and Third Generations sitting at the top.
He was collecting materials in the bathhouse just now, but now he was called here by ANBU.
Unable to answer the doubts in his heart, Jiraiya stood up and asked: "Old man, Minato, what happened in the village?"
Mito Kaden and Koharu, who was transferred to the dormitory, also looked at the two Hokage.
They noticed the movement of ANBU, but they didn't know what exactly happened today.
The third generation shook his head and glanced at Danzo, while the fourth generation looked at Danzo without concealment.
It seems that this matter has something to do with Danzo...
The two advisor elders secretly thought that they wanted to ask more questions, but were stopped by the dull atmosphere. In order to avoid suspicion in front of the fourth generation, they really could not get too involved in matters related to Danzo.
The dull atmosphere lasted for some time.
With his pipe in his mouth, Sandai looked at the only empty seat in the conference room and sighed slowly.
That was Orochimaru's location. They notified Orochimaru's subordinates and left plenty of time for Orochimaru to participate in the meeting, but Orochimaru still did not show up and was not even willing to explain.
This kind of behavior can be regarded as betrayal.
The third generation sighed and broke the silence. Everyone else looked at the third generation out of habit, but the third generation looked at the fourth generation.
Only then did others remember that the current Hokage is the fourth generation, not the third.
They are used to three generations being in power, but now it is the fourth generation who decides everything.
After everyone focused their attention on the fourth generation, the fourth generation looked at Danzo and said: "Elder Danzo, please explain what happened today."
At this time, all eyes were focused on Danzo again, and they wanted to know everything that happened today.
Facing everyone's gaze, Danzo glanced at the empty seats and his expression became serious: "Today I discovered Orochimaru who was conducting human experiments..."
After listening to Danzo's story, Koharu and Mito Kaden's expressions gradually became solemn as they moved to bed.
According to Danzo, Orochimaru secretly used civilians near the village to conduct human experiments, which had violated the iron laws of the village. After being discovered by Danzo, he directly attacked Danzo, a ninja from the same village, with the intention of hiding the secret.
"This is impossible!" Jiraiya slapped the table and stood up, looking at Danzo.
Danzo's words were full of loopholes. It was impossible for Orochimaru to attack the ninjas in the village.
Sandai looked at Danzo and sighed silently.
He only believed half of Danzo's words. He believed that Orochimaru would secretly conduct human experiments, and the evidence from the underground base also proved this.
However, he did not believe that Orochimaru would attack Danzo because of human experiments. As far as he knew, Danzo also conducted many experiments in private. At most, Danzo and Orochimaru had internal fighting due to uneven distribution.
But why are Danzo and Orochimaru fighting among themselves?
Danzo glanced at Jiraiya, threw out a stack of investigation materials, and said calmly: "This is the fact. Orochimaru did attack the ninjas in the village, and even extended his hands to civilians. Now he may have defected out of fear of crime.
.”
After returning to the village and discovering that Orochimaru had defected, Danzo formulated a series of excuses to clear himself, not to completely clear himself, but to erase the connection with Orochimaru.
He was very confident in this, and his interactions with Orochimaru had always been secret.
As long as Orochimaru didn't take the initiative to expose him, he knew Orochimaru's character very well and had already been prepared.
After taking the information and looking at it for a few times, Jiraiya's expression changed. Everything in the information made him feel scared.
Orochimaru really conducted so many human experiments in secret, it is simply unbelievable.
At this time, the third generation who remained silent slowly spoke: "Since Orochimaru has done these things, refused to come over to admit his mistakes, and defected from the village, I propose that he be set as an S-level rebel ninja."
"Old man, maybe things can turn around..." Jiraiya glanced at the third generation complicatedly and said, "I will bring Orochimaru back."
The third generation shook his head slightly, implying that he was not Hokage and could not make a decision.
Jiraiya looked at the fourth generation again.
Seeing his teacher looking at him like this, Yondaime felt helpless and could only nod his head and agreed to Jiraiya's request.
In fact, even if Orochimaru is classified as a traitor, there are not many ninjas in the village who can deal with him.
"That's it, the topic about Orochimaru is over for now."
After soliciting opinions, the Fourth Generation made a decision to deal with Orochimaru, including investigating former subordinates, offering bounties, etc. No one else objected.
In matters between master and apprentice, Koharu and Mito Monobu couldn't interfere, but Danzo wanted to but was unable to do so.
As a result, the Orochimaru matter came to an end in the high-level meeting, but the meeting did not end.
Looking at the top management of the village, the fourth generation took out a report and continued: "The next thing is related to wood escape. Among Orochimaru's experimental subjects, children who can use wood escape appeared."
After hearing the news about Mu Dun, the originally calm conference room became noisy again.
