Danzo sat on the cushion, listening to Orochimaru's story, and he was dumbfounded.
"You said he has the 'Mangekyo Sharingan'?"
"Yes." Orochimaru looked calm, as if the person fighting Itachi was not him, but someone else.
"What should I do? How should I explain to the Hokage?" Danzo clenched his fists.
Originally, as long as Orochimaru captured Uchiha Itachi, when he reported to the Hokage, he could omit Orochimaru's name and use a general statement, such as discovering something unusual, so he sent Uchiha Itachi with two
"Root" members went to investigate.
Now that Uchiha Itachi has escaped, Orochimaru's appearance near Konoha Village can no longer be concealed.
In this case, there will be a very difficult to explain question - why Orochimaru appeared in Konoha Village!
The entire village has been put on heightened alert, and whether it is Orochimaru or others, movement will be inconvenient.
"Isn't this a good opportunity for you? It was your proposal that made Konoha Village discover my existence. The Hokage should pay more attention to you because of this." Orochimaru said.
"Of course. Who else can he trust besides me?" Danzo said matter-of-factly.
Yusuke glanced at Danzo and found that there was no trace of shyness on his face.
That's the way it should be.
Most people's faces are really not that thick.
"But Uchiha Itachi will definitely report this matter to the Hokage. What should we do next?" Danzo asked.
"No, you must report this matter to Hokage, otherwise, wouldn't it mean that your information is not as timely as Itachi Uchiha? You can say that the information reported to you by the members of 'Root' is 'I have left'
Konoha Village', direct everyone's attention outside the village. In this way, we are all safe and it will not affect our next work."
"That's right, I'll go find the Hokage right now." Danzo stood up immediately.
"Wait..." Orochimaru stood up, stopped Danzo, and whispered something in his ear.
Danzo frowned and said in surprise: "You... is this useful?"
"It's useful, but it's not urgent. Can you report it first?" Orochimaru nodded slightly, while Danzo hurriedly changed his clothes and left in a hurry with the newly returned "root" members.
Yusuke really wanted to know what Orochimaru said to Danzo, but since Orochimaru was wary of him, it either had something to do with him or he was afraid that he would know.
"Wait a minute." Orochimaru suddenly stopped Yusuke, his eyes were like poisonous snakes, and even his tongue turned into the shape of a snake, "You performed very badly today and said a lot of things you shouldn't have said...are you worried that he will replace you?
"
"What?" Yusuke opened his eyes wide. He didn't know why Orochimaru would think so.
Is it a glorious thing to be a container?
"Don't worry, although you are not bad, you are definitely not as good as him!"
The corners of Orochimaru's mouth curled up, and his hands suddenly formed seals. A sharp pain spread throughout Yusuke's body along with Yusuke's curse seals.
Yusuke grabbed the curse mark with his fingers, and his nails scratched the skin at that spot, but the pain still spread along the nerves to every muscle in the body.
"Don't talk too much from now on." Orochimaru was very dissatisfied with Yusuke reminding Itachi about the "Gen" members.
Yusuke went out panting, even walking became extremely heavy. When he returned to the room, he sat on the floor.
He pressed his head against the wall and took deep breaths continuously to relieve the pain caused by the curse seal.
This experience made him completely sober. He should not continue to mess around like this. He must start making plans on how to get Danzo's Sharingan while unlocking the curse seal.
Thinking of the "curse seal", Yusuke immediately thought of the [Cell Laboratory], and his eyes fell on the [Analysis Laboratory] again.
The number above finally changed, 17%.
Although there was only a 2% improvement, Yusuke felt strange.
Initially, the [Analysis Laboratory] changed after the "Heaven's Curse Seal" was triggered.
Is it really because the "curse seal" was triggered that the [Analysis Laboratory] accelerated its analysis? Then, can the Chongwu blood mixed in the "Heaven's Curse Seal" be used?
Because the pain from the wound on his neck kept coming, he was a little distracted. It was under this situation that he made a decision.
Since Orochimaru's triggering of the "Heaven's Curse Seal" may affect the progress of the [Analysis Laboratory], what if he actively triggers it and even enters the second stage?
He knew it was dangerous, but in this case, he had to take the risk, otherwise, he would really have no chance.
Yusuke clenched his fists and began to trigger the "curse seal" frequently. Waves of severe pain began to spread throughout his body along the location of the curse seal, and soon the curse marks were all over his body.
…
Tsunade was woken up by Shizune in her sleep.
She opened her sleepy eyes and looked up to see the apprentice kneeling in front of her. Her mind was filled with questions.
"Now?" Tsunade quickly looked out the window, which was completely dark.
"Yes." Shizune nodded.
Tsunade's heart suddenly became heavy. Calling her up at this time showed that it was not a simple matter.
"What's up?"
Shizune shook her head: "The person who came to inform me didn't say anything."
Tsunade stood up immediately, put on her coat and left the room, with Shizune following closely behind.
Arriving at the Hokage's office, Tsunade motioned for Shizune to stay outside while she opened the door and entered the room.
In the room, besides the Hokage, there were four people, one of whom was Itachi Uchiha, two others wearing masks, who should be members of "Root", and the last one was Danzo.
Tsunade bowed slightly towards the Hokage and said: "Hokage-sama, is it so late...is there anything wrong?"
"Yes." Hiruzen nodded and glanced at Danzo, "Can you tell me?"
"Yeah. You should also know about this. In the afternoon, I mentioned to you that there was a very important task that required Itachi's help. In fact, someone discovered traces of Orochimaru outside the village."
"Orochimaru, where is he!?" Tsunade asked sharply.
Danzo shook his head, "He ran away... However, the two members of 'Gen' and Itachi all witnessed Orochimaru's movements and even fought with him. Itachi can prove this."
Uchiha Itachi nodded.
"But why did he return to Konoha Village? Doesn't he know that Konoha Village is looking for him?" Tsunade asked puzzled.
"Then I don't know." Danzo shook his head, "However, I have made suggestions to Lord Hokage. Firstly, strengthen the vigilance and prevent Orochimaru from sneaking into Konoha Village. Secondly, send people to investigate Orochimaru's movements! We must do it.
Catch Orochimaru at all costs!"
Uchiha Itachi looked at Danzo with a complicated expression, and then took a peek at Tsunade, only to find that she was also looking at him.
