Hearing Danzō's answer, Orochi Maru smiled lightly, he wasn't surprised.
Orochi Maru knows Danzō better than anyone else, because he has witnessed the whole process of Danzō's degeneration from an elder who maintained Muye's stability in the dark to a slave of power.
It can be said that Orochi Maru is the first person in Konoha to realize that Danzō has lost his way, and for Danzō who has lost his way in power, this opportunity is too rare, he can't miss it.
For Muye, as the head of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, this is the first time he has experienced such a thing.
Such a disaster, no matter which Naruto generation, Naruto will fall into the whirlpool of public opinion.
One must know that in the previous three great shinobi wars, no matter how cruel they were, none of them affected Konoha, let alone razing Konoha to the ground overnight.
In the minds of most Muye Shinobi, they still maintain the idea that Muye is the strongest shinobi in the world and the head of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. Therefore, although they can understand the difficulties of the Three Generations Naruto, and know that this disaster was caused by the enemy being too strong, emotionally, they still subconsciously blame the Three Generations for the destruction of their home.
After all, the name 'Naruto' represents responsibility, and no matter how many reasons and excuses there are, the destruction of Konoha is something that Naruto can't escape from.
After thinking for a moment, Orochi Maru asked again, "If Amatsukami really falls to the old man's side, our next plan will be greatly affected."
Danzō shook his head and said with certainty, "Don't worry, this old man knows Hikari better than anyone, he can't offer a higher price, Amatsukami will not choose to cooperate with him. This old man now suspects that Amatsukami sent Homusubi to force this old man to take a step back and maximize their benefits, I'm afraid that the country of water is not enough to satisfy them. "
Orochimaru nodded. 'This possibility does exist.'
Danzō glanced at Orochi Maru and said, "The progress of the Chimera Technique must be accelerated!"
Orochimaru smiled in a boastful manner and said, "I've already made a major breakthrough on my side. Right now, what's limiting our progress is the part that Wind Chimes is in charge of. I hope that the Fire Demon who replaced Wind Chimes won't disappoint us."
In terms of scientific research, Orochi Maru has the capital to be proud.
Hearing Orochimaru mention Homusubi again, Danzo frowned unconsciously, he always felt that it was inappropriate to let an Uchiha interfere in his core plan.
At this time, Orochimaru's eyes narrowed as he asked tentatively, "Now you can start choosing your targets, are you going to fuse with those 'Kekkei Limit Boundaries'?"
Danzō said lightly, "I haven't decided yet."
Knowing that Danzō wouldn't tell him the truth, Orochi Maru didn't ask any more questions, turned around and walked into the shadows …
…
In the underground laboratory of the root.
Hyōjin glanced at the progress report handed to him by the lab assistant, and his pupils shrunk slightly under the mask.
From this report, during the days when he was not around, the part that Orochi Maru was in charge of had advanced a lot, and several difficult scientific research problems were solved one by one.
"It seems that Orochi Maru and Danzō are still working together!"
It was not difficult for Hyōjin to come to this conclusion because when the Yakuza organization attacked the village, he and Orochi Maru were both in the laboratory, so they were clear about each other's experimental progress.
Now that the part that Orochi Maru was in charge of had a major breakthrough, it undoubtedly showed that the cooperation between Orochi Maru and Danzō did not stop because of the previous war. These days, Orochi Maru was still carrying out the improvement experiment of the Chimera Technique.
Thinking of this, Hyōjin's face changed, and a guess came to him.
Orochi Maru secretly kidnapped the Nine Tails' Human Jinchuriki from the village. Logically speaking, even if the Danzō did not completely fall out with him, they would at least suspend their cooperation.
But the fact is not so, Danzō still maintained a cooperative relationship with him.
This shows that Danzō and Orochi Maru may have reached some kind of agreement in private, and thinking that Danzō is actively seeking the position of Naruto in the village, Hyōjin feels that Naruto and Hinata in the hands of Orochi Maru are likely to become the bargaining chips for Danzō to seek the position of Naruto.
Just imagine, if Danzō and Orochi Maru conspire to rescue the Nine Tails' Human Jinchuriki and the eldest daughter of the Hyuga Clan, then Danzō's reputation in the village will inevitably increase greatly, and the Hyuga Clan will also have to lean towards him on the issue of Naruto. At that time, as long as he has the support of other great clans, it is not impossible for him to replace Three Generations and sit on the position of Naruto.
'Will Orochi Maru hand over Naruto to Danzō? Does he not want to exchange Naruto for Sasuke in the hands of the Akatsuki? Or did Danzō make some conditions that Orochi Maru can't refuse? '
Previously, Hyōjin has always believed that there is bound to be a hostage exchange between the Akatsuki and Orochi Maru.
After all, Naruto is useless in the hands of Orochi Maru, and Sasuke is also of little significance in the hands of the Akatsuki. But now that I think about it, this idea seems to be wishful thinking, because whether it is the Akatsuki or Orochi Maru, neither of them is a man of integrity. There is not enough mutual trust between them. Even if both sides agree to exchange hostages, I'm afraid that each side has their own ulterior motives.
Quietly putting the experiment report aside, Hyōjin started his own experiment.
Although he didn't conduct any experiments in the past few days, his brain was not idle. Taking advantage of the time when he was on duty in the village, he formulated several experiment plans in his mind, so when he came to the laboratory, he directly skipped the process of adaptation and familiarization, and started the tedious experiment.
The breakthrough on Orochi Maru's side was mainly in the area of colloidal materials.
Orochi Maru found a special colloidal material, which is very active at a temperature of 45 ° C, almost comparable to the colloidal material used to make "Ghost Sprout" in Hiruzen. But when the temperature is lower than 30 ° C, its activity will gradually decrease, and if the temperature drops to zero degrees, it will completely lose its activity.
This colloidal material affected by external temperature, to some extent, is a natural and controllable colloidal material. As long as the temperature is artificially controlled, the risk of it going out of control can be fundamentally eliminated.
And such a breakthrough can be said to be a key.
If before, Hyōjin couldn't judge how much time it would take to improve the "Ghost Sprout Technique" and how much money he would need to invest, then after this breakthrough, the time and money he would need to invest became predictable.
"Hey, Orochi Maru really has a skill in this area!"
