Orochimaru's research institute has been completed. It is much larger than the previous one and looks more formal and professional.
It's just that this place is still a top-secret place. No one can enter without Orochimaru's permission, and apart from Anko, only Makoto is allowed to enter and exit at will.
Orochimaru took out a cage for Zhen, and inside was a white mouse.
"The latest development, this is the surviving test subject." Orochimaru said.
"Did you transplant Hashirama's cells into it?" Zhenzhen asked in surprise.
"more than."
Orochimaru said: "Hashirama cells are too active and can divide and proliferate infinitely. They can give people amazing resilience, but only if they can be suppressed. Transplanting them rashly into other living bodies will only destroy them."
The original cell tissue of the organism."
Listening to Orochimaru's narration, I felt that these things looked a bit like cancer cells.
Really asked: "How to suppress it?"
Orochimaru took out a reagent and handed it over, "This is White Zetsu's cell. It is somewhat similar to Hashirama's cells and can completely accommodate Hashirama's cells."
He added: "I have many conjectures that need to be confirmed, so I am going to start experimenting with Hashirama cells on humans."
I really felt my heart move slightly when I heard it: "Adult?"
But Orochimaru objected: "The adult's physique has stopped developing, so observation is of little significance. It can be used in later experiments."
When the silence subsided, Orochimaru stopped talking and just stared at him.
The research institute was silent for a long time, only to hear Zhen slowly speak: "Hokage-sama, do you know your identity?"
But Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and asked: "Really, do you know why I want to sit in this seat?"
"..."
"Didn't the orphanage in the village take in many children again this year? It would be easy to overwhelm them if a few are missing."
Zhen calmly responded: "These are the backbone of the village's future. I think Hokage-sama would be better off starting elsewhere."
Orochimaru smiled and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you."
I lowered my eyelids and did not refuse.
Orochimaru continued: "Really, now I realize that I am very lucky to have a trustworthy person by my side. You can make the decision on anything in the village, and you can come to me if you encounter any difficulties."
He reached out his hand and patted Zhen Zhen on the shoulder: "Zhen, you must not betray my trust in you."
When I came out of the research institute, I felt a chill in the air.
Orochimaru is about to start conducting human experiments. With Orochimaru's current position of power, this is something that cannot be avoided, and he must do it.
This was also Orochimaru's warning to him.
Orochimaru may have seen everything that Shin did, but he acquiesced to it. Orochimaru knew that everything and all of Shin's power was attached to him, the Hokage.
Without him, there is really nothing.
Without Orochimaru, would Hyuga Hizashi still be obedient to such a child? Can he sit firmly as the leader of the Hyuga clan?
Shinya understands that in the final analysis, he is still too weak, whether it is his own strength or his own influence.
Becoming stronger requires a process, and so does having your own power.
Until he is strong enough, he can only be Orochimaru's most loyal subordinate, doing all the dirty work for him.
afternoon.
When Kakashi was on duty, Zhen called him into the office.
"Uchiha is looking for you because of the Sharingan, right?" Zhen said straight to the point.
Kakashi nodded silently.
"You want to give Obito your eyes back?"
Kakashi continued to nod.
"Obito doesn't know about this, right?"
"..."
"Why didn't you tell Obito? Are you afraid that he would reject it?"
Every word Zhen said was what Kakashi was thinking. Kakashi's Sharingan was originally a gift from Obito. He originally planned to live with Obito's legacy in the future.
But since Obito is still alive, and the reasons given by the Uchiha people are very good, Kakashi feels that he should return the eyes.
But if this kind of thing were to be known to Obito, the fool would definitely refuse it with a loud voice. It would be unworthy if it caused a conflict between him and his family.
Zhen asked again: "Why do you think Obito refused?"
Kakashi was silent for a while and said: "This kind of thing is my freedom."
He felt that he really wanted to persuade himself, but he had already made up his mind.
Zhen nodded and said, "Then let Obito persuade you."
Kakashi frowned immediately. He felt that he was really nosy. This was a matter between him and Obito. Why should he get involved.
Zhen then said: "I can ask Uchiha to cancel the idea of recycling your Sharingan."
Kakashi pondered for a long time and asked: "Why did you do this?"
Because you don't know what your eyes are capable of.
If Obito opens the kaleidoscope one day, will there be anyone in the ninja world who can stop him with the two Kamuis together?
Zhen was thinking in his heart and said: "You are my subordinate, so naturally I hope you can be stronger."
This reason is far-fetched, but Kakashi said: "Without the Sharingan, I will not become weaker."
He sometimes feels that this Sharingan is a burden to his strength.
Zhen asked: "Without the Sharingan, can you still use the Chidori?"
Kakashi: "..."
How come he even knows the characteristics of Chidori...
Zhen continued: "I think Obito also hopes that you can make good use of this eye."
Kakashi was silent there for a while, and finally said: "If the Uchiha clan wants to take back this Sharingan, I will not refuse."
Zhen nodded and then let him leave.
At night, before going back, I went to the pharmacist Nonou again to see how the children were adapting. Fortunately, there were no major problems.
Ayano had already prepared dinner and was waiting for him at home.
Her cooking skills have obviously improved a lot, and the meals she cooks are now edible. It can be seen that she is studying hard.
Ayano suddenly mentioned Ayari and said that when Ayari came to chat with her today, she had been talking about Lord Shin-sama.
She didn't say anything clearly in her words, but the whole article hinted that Ayari really cared about her.
There is really no response to this.
The weather was a bit cold at night, so I took a hot bath after dinner. When I returned to the bedroom, I saw Ayano lying on her bed, warming her bed.
When she saw Zhen coming in, she got up and got out of the bed and left the room. Zhen couldn't help but lament that her current life was a bit degenerate.
But he also enjoys it.
Ayano seemed to have sprayed perfume, and the bed was filled with her scent, but fortunately it was not pungent.
Zhenren was lying on the warm bed, but Ayari's figure came to mind.
