Shinobi: I'm Really a Supportive Ninja

The roots of Konoha, the underground secret laboratory.

Red, blue, purple, potions of various colors are meticulously displayed on the shelves. Large culture tanks are arranged on the left and right, with bubbles rising in them and some strange embryo samples soaked in them.

"Orochimaru, how's your research going?"

Danzo Shimura stepped forward with a gloomy look on his face, his one eye flashing with a soul-piercing cold light. He had gradually lost patience with Orochimaru.

"same as usual."

Orochimaru did not stop what he was doing, and when he answered Shimura Danzo, he was calm and did not give him a good look at all.

"You..." Danzo Shimura wanted to accuse, but in the end he suppressed it, "Orochimaru, we don't have much time left."

"I know, but research on Hashirama cells is not something that can be accomplished overnight."

Orochimaru still looked indifferent, "Isn't the experimental subject named Yamato serving you? I think his blood should be enough to suppress the negative impact of your Sharingan."

"But this is not enough!"

Danzo Shimura took a step forward, "Minato Namikaze has now become the leading teacher, and his two disciples are the two Hatake brothers! My current situation is not good."

"So what?" Orochimaru didn't care at all, "Namikaze Minato is not qualified to be the next Hokage regardless of his qualifications or strength. Instead of worrying about him, we should worry about Sakumo."

"Don't you think I don't want to!" Shimura Danzo looked displeased, "Hatake Sakumo is flawless in his work. Apart from assassinating him, I can't find any chance to bring him down!"

"Then just wait." Orochimaru finally put down what he was doing, "Sakumo is a very pure ninja. He is not a politician who is dark to the core like you or my teacher."

"Oh, but that's not why you use my resources and don't work hard to do things for me!" Danzo Shimura became angry, "Except for the success of Yamato's experimental subject, you have basically done nothing in the research on Hashirama cells in the past few years. Make a difference!"

Shimura Danzo pointed to the biological specimens in the culture tank, "And don't think that I don't know what you are doing with the power and resources I gave you. The technique you are studying is very dangerous!"

"This is none of Danzo-sama's business, and..." Orochimaru threw a test tube to Danzo Shimura, "I have already made new results in the research on Hashirama cells."

"This is……"

Danzo Shimura observed the test tube in his hand, with some joy and curiosity on his face.

"As you wish, this is a diluted version of Hashirama's cells, which can enhance your physique in all aspects and is safer to a certain extent."

"What does it mean to have a certain degree and what does it mean to be relatively safe?!" Danzo Shimura was a little unhappy and was not satisfied with Orochimaru's research results this time.

"Used in conjunction with the three-magatama sharingan in your eyes, this version of Hashirama cells is very safe. However, due to the limitations of the three-magatama sharingan, there is an upper limit to the improvement of your physique and vitality. Once the upper limit is exceeded, you will There is a risk of lignification of the body.”

Orochimaru gave a brief explanation, and his face was full of amusement.

"Lord Danzo, I am very grateful to you for providing me with the materials needed for research, but this is the limit of what I can do now. If you want to go further, consider the Uchiha clan."

"What's the meaning?"

"Change the Mangekyō Sharingan." Orochimaru said calmly.

"Are you kidding me?" Danzo Shimura spoke fiercely, but the flowing eyes betrayed his true thoughts, "Do you think... this is possible?"

"Why not?" Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth and spread his long tongue wantonly, "In the field of scientific research, I am the authority, and you...Danzo-sama is also a very good research material!"

"Hahaha!" Looking at Shimura Danzo's gloomy face, Orochimaru opened his snake eyes and smiled happily, "The Sharingan and even the Mangekyo Sharingan and Hashirama cells are restrained and interdependent. I am more and more aware of the relationship between them. The more interested I become!”

"But don't worry, I'm already confident. As long as Danzo-sama can get the Mangekyo Sharingan, I can guarantee that your strength will reach a higher level. It's not impossible to become Hokage with your own strength in the future."

"Hmph!" Shimura Danzo waved his sleeves, then turned and left, "I will find a solution for the Mangekyo Sharingan, but you have to hurry up, Orochimaru..."

Shimura Danzo's voice gradually faded away, and soon only Orochimaru and his bottles were left in the underground laboratory.

The crazy smile on his face disappeared, and Orochimaru glanced in the direction of the Hokage Building with concern.

"Teacher, Danzo's ambition can no longer be stopped. Although I am also using his ambition to provide convenience for me, if things continue like this... Konoha will completely decay."

At this time, Orochimaru even though the things he did were gradually out of control and deviated even more from Tsunada's ethics, Orochimaru still had deep feelings for his mentor Hiruzen Sarutobi and Konoha, which gave birth to him and raised him.

"But the things you did... are so disappointing!" Orochimaru shook his head, "Teacher, you will regret it one day..."

Having said that, Orochimaru no longer cared about these things, and focused his gaze on the bottles and jars. The inquisitive light in his eyes was strong, and he stretched out his hand to touch them gently with some fascination, as if he were looking at his own wife.

"Whether it is a force or a person, his life is always fragile. After a hundred or a thousand years, it will always be dissolved into dust, leaving no trace in the world."

"But knowledge is different. It will be passed down forever along with our will. One day after we disappear, there will still be those who come after us to remember our names and pass on our will."

"For example, every time I study the many forbidden techniques developed by the Nidaime, I can see his former genius and wisdom, which is so impressive."

"But in the end, I found that there was really too much knowledge that I wanted to learn, and there were really too many things that I wanted to study. There were so many things that I just couldn't master them all my life. I'm not willing to give in!"

Orochimaru muttered to himself for a while, then clenched his fists, with a slightly ferocious expression on his face.

"So, I want to live forever, and I want to have enough power to protect me!" Orochimaru finally glanced in the direction of the Hokage Building, "I'm sorry, teacher, I may let you down..."

"But before I disappoint you, I should still be able to do something for you, such as making you completely determined to deal with Shimura Danzo!"

Orochimaru, he was never a good person.

It can only be said that he is a "mad scientist" whose deviance is not tolerated by the world, and a complete egoist.

But precisely because of this, many of Orochimaru's research results are enough to amaze the world.

But before he fell completely, Orochimaru still had some conscience, and he decided to use his own way to repay Sarutobi Hiruzen and Konoha for giving birth to him and raising him.

Squeak...

There was a heartbreaking sound of the door closing, and Orochimaru walked out of the underground laboratory. After adjusting his clothes, he walked towards the Hatake residence.
