"Hiruko!"
As soon as he saw this name, Hyōjin's expression became solemn.
In Hyōjin's next big plan, Hiruko has an irreplaceable and important role, so recently, Hyōjin has been inquiring about Hiruko's whereabouts.
It's just that this Hiruko is a Renegade Ninja that Muye put a bounty on, so even if Hyōjin used Muye's intelligence network, he still couldn't find any clues about him.
Unexpectedly, the Akatsuki organization actually discovered Hiruko's whereabouts first, which is indeed somewhat out of Hyōjin's expectation.
"Sigh, I didn't expect that just one encounter in the Root Base would cause such an unpredictable change in the situation, fate is really mysterious and unpredictable!"
When he thought that the Akatsuki organization's actions were inadvertently caused by him, Hyōjin couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of the cause and effect of everything in the world.
Soon, Hyōjin put away his sigh and started thinking about the next step.
Hiruko and Orochi Maru were born at the same time, so the two of them more or less have some friendship. The Akatsuki organization sending Orochi Maru and Sasori's group to look for Hiruko should have two reasons.
First, Obsidian wants to confirm whether or not Hiruko is the mysterious person he met in the Root Base.
Second, through Orochi Maru's favor, they want to recruit Hiruko into the Akatsuki organization as Muye's traitorous Ninja.
"It should be too late to stop it now!" Hyōjin propped his chin with one hand and continued to ponder, "If Hiruko is recruited into the Akatsuki organization, what kind of impact will it have on me?"
Between each group in the Akatsuki organization, there is no subordinate relationship.
Orochi Maru and Sasori may mention to Uchiha Shinichi who their group's target is, but they will never report any specific information to Uchiha Shinichi.
On the other hand, Uchiha and Shinichi have no reasonable reason to ask for detailed information about Hiruko, so at this time, Hyōjin can no longer stop the Akatsuki from contacting Hiruko.
Fortunately, Hyōjin only needs Hiruko's technology. Even if Hiruko joins the Akatsuki, he still has a way to get the technology he wants.
After putting away all the Storage Scrolls, Hyōjin bid farewell to Mishima Yutaro and quietly returned to the village.
As soon as he returned to the village, Hyōjin went straight into the secret laboratory.
The instruments he purchased this time were all carefully selected by him, and they were also the most lacking part of his current plan. Therefore, with this batch of instruments, he could already choose to start his plan.
But before that, he still needs to see Orochi Maru.
In terms of Bioengineering, Orochi Maru can be regarded as one of the best experts in the Shinobi world. Although Hyōjin obtained the Tenseigan by activating a special gene sequence, this does not mean that Hyōjin is better than Orochi Maru in Bioengineering. It's just that Hyōjin knows some secrets that Orochi Maru doesn't know.
Therefore, if Hyōjin wants to carry out his huge plan, Orochi Maru's support is indispensable.
Moreover, he also needs to confirm Hiruko's situation through Orochi Maru. What he is most worried about now is not that Hiruko joined the Akatsuki organization, but rather that Hiruko refused to join the Akatsuki organization and was killed by them.
If Hiruko dies in such an inexplicable way, then Hyōjin's plan will have many twists and turns.
Through the summoning beast One-eyed Viper, Hyōjin sent a meeting request to Orochi Maru.
Bang …
It didn't take long for the One-eyed Viper to appear again and spit out a scroll.
Hyōjin opened it and immediately murmured: "The Land of Tian …"
There is not much information on the scroll, only a few sentences. The content is that Orochi Maru asked Hyōjin to meet in a secret base in the Land of Tian two weeks later.
In the blink of an eye, two weeks passed.
Hyōjin strolled in the forest of the Land of Tian, leisurely as if he was just a traveler on an outing.
Brush …
Suddenly, a Kunai shot into the open space in front of Hyōjin.
Hyōjin stopped and said: "I'm here to see Orochi Maru."
A figure fell down, looked up and down at Hyōjin, and then said: "Please come with me."
And looking at the other party's face, Hyōjin was stunned. The person in front of him turned out to be the lucky guy who successfully adapted to the first-generation cells!
Why did Orochi Maru defect in advance?
Why did Orochi Maru and Danzō become irreconcilable?
Why did Danzō deliberately retaliate against Orochi Maru and even purge Orochi Maru's old subordinates on a large scale?
These doubts that have troubled Hyōjin for a long time were all solved the moment he saw Yamato.
Yamato, the only one who succeeded in the first-generation cell transplantation plan, was the fuse of all things. In order to compete for him, Orochi Maru and Danzō became enemies and chose to defect.
Yamato looked back at Hyōjin at this time and asked: "What's wrong with you?"
Hyōjin shook his head and restrained the strange expression on his face.
Following behind Yamato, Hyōjin pondered while walking: "In the original space and time, Orochi Maru thought that Yamato was also a failed product, but in the end, Danzō picked up a loophole. I didn't expect that in this world, Orochi Maru didn't ignore Yamato."
As the only one among the 60 experimental subjects who successfully integrated with the first-generation cells, Yamato's research value was unquestionable.
It can be imagined that when Orochi Maru and Danzō found out that Yamato successfully integrated with the first-generation cells, they must have launched an intense competition between them.
And the result was also clear, Orochi Maru obtained Yamato, but was forced to defect from the village.
Following Yamato, Hyōjin arrived in front of an underground entrance.
Yamato turned to Hyōjin and said: "There will be some snakes at the entrance, don't worry, as long as you follow me, they won't attack you."
Hyōjin smiled and nodded.
Not long after, the two passed through the dark and damp underground passage and officially entered Orochi Maru's secret base.
After passing through several underground corridors, Yamato led Hyōjin to a secret room.
Yamato stepped aside and said: "Orochi Maru -sama is inside, you can go see him yourself!"
Hyōjin casually looked around and nodded with a smile.
Along the way, Hyōjin found at least ten traps, five seals, and more than 20 ninjas hidden in the dark. Such a strict arrangement was obviously not the way to treat a guest.
There is no doubt that Orochi Maru has bad intentions towards him.
But in Hyōjin's view, this is also inevitable.
If he wants to change from a subordinate to an equal partner, it will inevitably take some effort, not to mention that Orochi Maru has never been a good person, so this scene will appear sooner or later.
