After hearing Danzo's overall plan, Lei Luo had already seen many big scenes, and he was still amazed by the other party's various calculations.
There are similarities between Danzo's plan and Uzumaki Makoto's plan, that is, they both require Lei Luo to control the ninja army, and they both want to launch a coup to seize power with armed force in the end.
The difference lies in the handling of the relationship between the ninja clan: Uzumaki Makoto believes that this is a top priority, but Danzo believes that this does not need to be considered at all.
When talking about the ninja clan, Danzo's words revealed the meaning behind his words, but he didn't say it directly:
The ninja clan of Konoha are just a group of cowardly people who are timid and accustomed to adapting to the changing circumstances. When the dust settles, they will naturally offer their loyalty to the victor.
Lei Luo didn't know who was right, so he decided to combine Uzumaki Makoto and Danzo's plans:
Retain part of the original plan and still make contact with the ninja clan, but the number of ninja clans covered needs to be reduced to a certain extent and maintained within a small scale.
As for which ninja clans to choose, Lei Luo already has several targets in mind: the Aburame clan where Aburame Shiguro belongs, the Hyuga clan where Hinata Tamaki belongs, and the Uzuki clan of the mother of this body.
Having made up his mind, Lei Luo stopped his thoughts, nodded slowly to Danzo, and said calmly:
"I understand what you mean. I will try my best to control the 5,000-strong ninja army and turn those people into our direct lineage."
Now that Lei Luo has made a clear response, Danzo is a little relieved. After all, Lei Luo never needs to worry about things by himself. What's more, this time's matter is not trivial. Danzo believes that Lei Luo can do it well.
However, there are some things that Danzo still intends to mention, lest Lei Luo, a foolish young man, act too hastily and ruin a good thing:
"By the way, you'd better not end the war with Sand Hidden Village too quickly. Even if you have the ability to kill the Third Kazekage, don't do it in a hurry."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lei Luo to ask questions, Danzo explained on his own:
"Military power is only temporary. If you want to use it to increase your reputation and use it to transform batches of ninjas into subordinates who are devoted to you, it will take time to operate."
"If the war with Sand Hidden Village ends too early, Hiruzen will inevitably take back your military power. That result will undoubtedly be extremely detrimental to our plan."
"I think you can understand the reasoning."
He frowned and thought carefully for a while. After about a few minutes, Lei Luo relaxed his eyebrows, looked at Danzo with admiration, and let out a long breath.
Isn't this the Hokage version of "raising a bandit with self-respect"?
Danzo, this old guy...has two brushes.
It has to be said that whether it is Uzumaki Makoto, Danzo, or other high-level officials of Konoha, since they can sit in that seat, it proves that there is not a single fool among them.
From the beginning of the conversation until now, Lei Luo was deeply impressed by Danzo's hidden political skills. He seemed to have...learned something again.
After a while, seeing that the thoughtful look on Danzo's face still lingered, Lei Luo thought for a while and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Perhaps because he felt that he had almost finished what he should say, Danzo did not continue his long speech, but ended with a short sentence:
"Also, I will arrange for some Gennin to accompany you to the Kingdom of Wind. You can treat them as your confidants and control them at will."
After finishing speaking, Danzo said no more, turned around, and faced the big iron door with several seals in succession, which seemed to be some kind of sealing technique.
Hashirama, who was thinking about it day and night, was about to get the cells, but Lei Luo was surprisingly calm, and his expression didn't show any signs of trouble.
Even in his mind, he was not thinking about anything related to improving his strength, but was completely immersed in the series of plans Danzo had just made.
In fact, after awakening Zero Point Return and another truly magical skill, Lei Luo is no longer so eager to improve his own strength.
Although, the other ability is not fully developed yet, and its power is far from being maximized.
But Lei Luo still firmly believes that he only needs to be given a while to devour some of the ghosts, then...
In the ninja world, I am afraid that except for ninjas of the level of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, neither the shadows of the five major ninja villages nor any shadow-level masters will pose any threat to him anymore.
Even when the scope of interference of that ability reaches a certain level, all those who are against Lei Luo will have no choice but to be slaughtered.
In other words, the Hashirama Cells that he is about to get now seem to be just a larger experience pack, a supplement he uses to improve his basic attributes.
As for the wood escape ability derived from Hashirama cells, Lei Luo was not paying attention to it at this time, just because the strength of the two parties was no longer on the same level.
At this moment, a loud rumble came, followed closely by the crunching sound of metal rubbing against the ground.
The field of vision in front of him suddenly became brighter, and the strong smell of disinfectant lingered on the tip of his nose. Lei Luo calmed down and looked carefully, only to find that Danzo had already opened the door to the laboratory.
"Come in and take a look."
After saying that, Danzo glanced at Lei Luo lightly, then he lighted his crutches and walked into the rather spacious laboratory built deep underground.
With a slight smile, Lei Luo followed Danzo in and immediately looked to the left and right:
But I saw that this place was about two to three hundred square meters, almost equivalent to a small classroom.
Dozens of candlesticks and braziers were placed around, and the blazing fire illuminated the scene in the venue.
Rows of bookcases were erected on the front, rear, left and right walls, taking up all the space in the corner.
Some of the bookshelves have stacks of heavy books, some have bundles of scrolls, and others have bottles and jars filled with liquids of various colors, with some incomprehensible things vaguely floating inside.
Clear specimens.
In the center of the laboratory, there were several long wooden tables standing, with seemingly several adult bodies lying on them. However, due to the white cloth covering the surface, Lei Luo could only vaguely observe their outlines.
The guys who were mostly experimental subjects were motionless, and I don't know if they were dead. Beside the table, there were a few scalpels and a few scissors, and there were still some traces of blood.
Lei Luo's first impression of this place was that it was simple and rough, backward and primitive, very much like a European medieval laboratory.
The scene here is very similar to the laboratory Orochimaru used when conducting human experiments in the previous anime.
