In the evening, Shizune came to Orochimaru's room as soon as she got home from school.

She saw Orochimaru leaning on the bed and writing something in a notebook.

"Shizune, school is over!"

When Orochimaru saw Shizune pushing the door open, he smiled, but his voice was a little weak.

The well-behaved Shizune hurried forward to ask about her well-being. After so many years of getting along, Orochimaru was like her father.

"It's nothing, I just didn't get enough rest recently. Your sister Tsunade is the best doctor in the ninja world, don't worry!"

He rubbed her head while saying this. It's true that the little girl knows how to care for people.

"You and Tsunade can take care of your dinner. I can't cook for you today."

Hearing that Orochimaru was sick and still thinking about their dinner, Shizune said sensibly:

"Uncle Orochimaru, you should have a good rest. Sister Tsunade and I will just eat something. Also, I will buy you whatever you want to eat."

While the two were talking, a "creaky" sound of the door was pushed open.

The person came with a bag of lunch boxes and a bag of fruit. It was Tsunade who came back from getting food.

Seeing the person coming, Shizune hurried over to help.

"Your body has not recovered yet. I can only give you some light meals."

Tsunade put the lunch box on the desk in the bedroom, and Shizune quickly brought a box of food to Orochimaru.

"It feels so good to be served!"

Orochimaru teased her, but Tsunade rolled her eyes at her:

"Since I've cooked for you for so many years, I'll accommodate you once. Who will cook for me and Shizune if you fall ill?"

"Yes, Uncle Orochimaru, you have to get well soon and make delicious food for us..."

The next day, Orochimaru came to the research institute as usual.

After a day of adjustment, his body's rejection phenomenon had gradually faded, and his high fever had also subsided, but he could still use chakra.

He still looked a little sluggish, but it didn't affect his activities.

Walking all the way to the research institute, Orochimaru never felt that this road was quite long, and it took more than 20 minutes to walk.

When he entered the research institute, a somewhat hunched figure came into view.

The figure wore a bamboo hat, and there were a few big words on his long robe: Sandaime.

"Hokage-sama, why are you here?"

It was the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen who had not been seen for a long time. Orochimaru was a little surprised by his sudden arrival.

"Well! I heard that you were sick?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and looked at Orochimaru who was still not in good condition.

"I am almost well now, but I am worried about you, Hokage-sama!"

In public, Orochimaru would still call the Hokage by his name, but in private, he could call him teacher. Hearing Orochimaru's hoarse voice, Sarutobi Hiruzen also said a few words of concern.

"How is the research progress?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked towards the office of the research institute first, followed by Orochimaru.

The two chatted in the office for a long time. Finally, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked out of the office first, and Orochimaru did not see him out.

At this time, Orochimaru was leaning on the chair in the office, looking listless, and his already sick face looked even uglier.

"I didn't expect the project to be stopped!"

That's right, Sarutobi Hiruzen came here to terminate this research project, so it's no wonder that Orochimaru looked so ugly.

He has deliberately controlled the negative impact of the experiment. If it is as in the original book, the experiment should be stopped only after the death toll reaches 150 to 160 people.

Now Orochimaru has a lot of data support, and the mortality rate has been reduced to half. So far, although 30 or 40 experimental subjects have died, there are still 30 or 40 experimental subjects still in the experiment.

The formula he has researched and the suppression effect of the blood of various races are all obvious results, but it still takes some time to verify.

"It seems that the third generation Hokage is really old!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen is only middle-aged now. It's not that he is old, but he has the idea of ​​retiring.

It would be good if he could successfully study Hashirama's cells during his tenure. If he can't, he is unwilling to take the risk of bringing a stain to his career as Hokage in the last stage of his tenure as Hokage.

Once people get used to comfort, they lose their ambition, not to mention that this ambition may tarnish their reputation.

The conservative Third Hokage is like this. To put it nicely, he is conservative, to put it bluntly, he is indecisive, which is in sharp contrast to the extremes of the old thief Danzo.

"Fortunately, the Uzumaki clan has successfully developed the cell fusion potion, so it is not a waste of effort."

As for HashiramaAlthough the progress of cell research has overcome many difficulties, there are still many problems to be verified, but time is running out.

After sorting out his chaotic thoughts and rubbing his face, Orochimaru walked out of the office door.

The thirty or forty experimental subjects still under research will not be stopped immediately, but Konoha will not arrange volunteers to come.

Orochimaru can only obey orders, and it seems that he will soon return to the normal track of life.

A month later, the experimental project was completely stopped.

Orochimaru handed a dozen research reports to the Hokage. These are the experimental data he sorted out, all about Hashirama's cells.

Of course, it also involves the cell research of major families, the influence of the cells of major families on Hashirama's cells, etc.

If the people of these families knew that the Hokage was studying the cells of their family, it is estimated that they would instantly increase their defense against the Hokage.

But these are not what Orochimaru cares about. He has been a tool for more than a year and he has no mind to care about these.

Before collecting the cell materials of these families, I had reported to the Konoha high-level officials. Now I am asked to propose a feasible plan and take the blame. What are you thinking?

Only you Konoha leaders who play politics can do such things as eating with a bowl in hand and cursing after putting down the bowl. People who play politics have dirty hearts.

Coming out of the Hokage building, I didn't see any emotion from Orochimaru.

"It's good that Mito's cells are almost fused now. This period of time is just right to raise the strength to a higher level."

Thinking of this, Orochimaru no longer struggled and left here in a flash.

On the other side, the Hokage's office.

"Huruzen, why did you terminate the experiment?"

Danzo said a little indignantly, watching Orochimaru's research going deeper step by step, and it seemed that there would be results soon, when he suddenly received the order from the Hokage to terminate the experiment.

And he hadn't discussed it with several high-level officials. Although the Hokage had the decision-making power, Konoha was not his Sarutobi Hiruzen's one-man show!

Looking at the somewhat angry Danzo, the Third Hokage explained to him the impact of the experiment, which was nothing more than a lot of morality.

But Danzo didn't listen to a word of these words. In his opinion, the lives of a few civilians were nothing, they were the hope of his Sharingan arm.

The two quarreled until their faces were red, and naturally each had his own opinion. No one agreed with the other's point of view, and in the end, as expected, they parted unhappily!
