Chapter 201 Tianzang and Hongdou

Recovering his gradually scattered thoughts, Danzo walked towards the Wood Release experiment subject, who was a child who looked only seven or eight years old.

As if sensing Danzo's arrival, the experimental subject suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him.

"Grandpa, who are you?"

Danzo subconsciously took a half step back, then slowly said: "I am Danzo, the leader of the Konoha Root Organization. Little guy, who are you? What's your name?"

The subject was stunned for a moment, trying hard to recall his past, but the increasing pain in his head made him give up the attempt, and he shook his head in confusion.

"Grandpa, I don't know who I am..."

"I don't seem to remember what happened before, but I seemed to have a nightmare. I dreamed that I was soaking in water and there were many people in white clothes touching me."

At this point, the subject looked around, and after seeing the broken glass jars around him, he stood there in a daze.

Maybe what he experienced was not a nightmare, but a bloody reality.

Noticing the test subject's expression, Danzo sighed softly and said as he extended his hand towards the test subject:
"I know your experience. Are you willing to accept my adoption, leave this place, and become a member of the Root from now on?"

The subject was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly without making a choice.

Seeing that the subject agreed to his conditions, Danzo smiled and touched the subject's head, and said slowly: "Since you have forgotten your past and don't have a name of your own, I will give you a name. From today on, you will be called Tenzo."

"Tian Zang?"

Tian Zang repeated his name repeatedly. After he remembered his name, a faint smile appeared on his face: "I finally have a name. My name is Tian Zang."

Danzo noticed Tenzo's performance and a faint smile appeared on his face.

As the leader of the Root organization, he is well aware of the importance of giving a name to an orphan. As long as he trains Tenzou seriously, he will be able to gain a subordinate who is at least an elite jonin in the future.

A few minutes later, Danzo took Tenzo out of the Root laboratory.

After returning to the Root Base, he immediately planted the Seal of the Tongue-Destroying Root on Tenzang, and then ordered his men to destroy the Wood Release experiment data and content related to himself, while preparing to impeach Orochimaru.

The reason for impeaching Orochimaru was also very simple. It was enough to report that Orochimaru was conducting experiments on the villagers.

Anyway, as long as Orochimaru enters the scientific research state, he never cares whether the experimental subject is his own or not. As long as he becomes interested in scientific research, Orochimaru will even directly attack his companions.

Naturally, he didn't care about Orochimaru's behavior.

It should be an honor for these experimental subjects to be able to contribute to Konoha.

But it’s different for the hypocritical Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. That guy cares most about these false reputations. He clearly knows the darkness in the shadows, but he always acts righteously.

……

While Danzo was collecting evidence and preparing to spread rumors that were unfavorable to Orochimaru, there was a pair of eyes watching him in the darkness.

This person is none other than Orochimaru, the main person in charge of the Wood Release Plan.

After leaving the Root Laboratory, he witnessed Danzo's act of subduing Tenzo. Although he was surprised that he had made a mistake and allowed such a fish to slip through the net, he was actually very happy.

But in the end, he did not come forward to ask for Tenzou, but chose to hide in the shadows. Firstly, it was because his experiment could not go wrong. It was impossible for a child who could adapt to Hashirama's cells to appear in the previous batch of experimental subjects. The appearance of Tenzou was just an accident.

The surviving Tenzo may not necessarily awaken the Wood Release Kekkei, everything is unknown.

As long as he could get in touch with Tianzang later, it would be easy to know the truth from Tianzang's blood.

Secondly, he also wanted to see what Danzo was up to, but he didn't expect that Danzo was secretly collecting data on his human experiments.

Now Danzo's purpose is self-evident. Danzo wants to completely lose trust between himself and the old man, so as to lose the opportunity to run for the Fifth Hokage.

However, has Danzo forgotten that they are partners? Even if he loses the chance to become Hokage, it will not be the turn of you, old man, Danzo, to become Hokage.

And so many years have passed, Danzo, don't you know that the old man will never let you become Hokage?
Thinking of this, Orochimaru couldn't help but secretly sigh at Danzo's ignorance.

Clearing his mind of distracting thoughts, Orochimaru turned and walked towards his base, disappearing into the darkness.

Although he discovered that Danzo was collecting evidence against him, Orochimaru did not intend to stop Danzo's actions. Those human experiments were things he had done before, and he also attacked the village's senior ninjas for experimental materials.

In order to explore the limits of ninjutsu and to achieve immortality, he no longer cared about the rules and regulations of the ninja world.

Even if Danzo made his past public and made the village's jonin regard him as a scourge, he was not afraid.

Anyway, he has nothing to be attached to the Konoha Village anymore.

If Danzo and the old man were to make trouble for him, he could just leave this lifeless village and head for the free ninja world.

In addition to Konoha Village, there are many other places in the ninja world that are suitable for him to stay.

Not long after, Orochimaru arrived at the secret base.

After seeing Orochimaru appear, all of Orochimaru's subordinates stood up straight and said to him, "Lord Orochimaru, you are finally here. Red Bean has been calling you."

"Anko wants to see me?"

Orochimaru's expression changed slightly, and the image of Red Bean appeared in his mind.

Hongdou is a girl of twelve or thirteen years old. Her personality is more like that of a boy than a girl. She is also his only disciple at present. Sometimes her behavior gives him a headache.

If I defect to Konoha in the future, I will definitely take some of my trusted aides with me.

But Orochimaru was still undecided about whether to take Red Bean away or not. He wanted to leave Red Bean here as an abandoned person, or take Red Bean with him to wander around the ninja world.

After seeing Hongdou, Hongdou was holding a ball of three-colored dumplings in her hand and said with a smile: "Teacher Orochimaru, I want to take part in the Chunin Exam recently. Can you give me special training?"

"Let's forget about the special training. I have other things to do recently."

Orochimaru shook his head, having already made a decision in his mind.

A naive ninja like Red Bean is no longer suitable to be his subordinate. It is better for her to continue staying in Konoha and immerse herself in the boring Will of Fire.

Red Bean didn't know what Orochimaru was thinking, so she nodded a little depressed: "Since Orochimaru-sensei is busy, I will come over later. I originally wanted to carry forward the Orochimaru style."
