Simultaneous Travel: Me and My Countless Others

Get to the roots.

Orochimaru couldn't help but be stunned.

Where did this go for me?

The basement, which used to be dark and gloomy, is now spacious and bright, with lights like torches.

Isn't this a covert assassination department?

Now this arrangement is like holding a hero commendation meeting at the root, which is a bit too aboveboard...

"Danzo Shimura's rotten brain has healed?"

Orochimaru looked around and thought suspiciously in his heart: "I finally know how to change that vulture-like image. It's like a poisonous snake in the gutter. How can the public support such a person to become Hokage..."

Orochimaru didn't scold himself. Although he was really a poisonous snake secretly, he was extremely polite and charming in his dealings with others.

In the original time and space, even after ten years of defection, there were still Konoha ninjas who were willing to serve Orochimaru.

Orochimaru walked slowly. He couldn't find his laboratory after it was decorated like this.

"Hey, there's also a house number? It's much more formal..." Orochimaru looked up and saw a line of font engraved on the exquisite wooden door number - "Headquarters of the Root Scientific Research Department, Chief Orochimaru".

"You actually respect people? Interesting..."

Orochimaru smiled, his favorite thing besides immortality was seeing changes in things.

Shimura Danzo has changed so much, but I want him to see what happened to this old man...

After pushing the door open, Orochimaru exhaled softly.

All his experimental materials are there, and there are many ninjutsu scrolls wherever he can see them.

In the past, petri dishes used to rob enemy ninjas as raw materials, because human experiments were considered taboo, were usually hidden deep within the roots and could not be seen.

But now…

These petri dishes were placed neatly and openly in rows after rows, with nameplates below that said the experimental items. The entire laboratory was airy and spotless, giving Orochimaru a vague illusion.

These are actually formal projects I’m doing, right?

"Are you satisfied? I took the materials from the villagers' experiments and discarded them for you on my own initiative..." Luke's voice sounded quietly behind Orochimaru:

"As compensation, I have placed the spells on vitality and soul in the Book of Sealings there. You can check them yourself if necessary."

"As for the missing experimental materials, I'll ask Genbu to capture a group of ninjas from other villages. You can deal with them as you wish."

Orochimaru's face froze.

when…

When has there been a person standing behind me and I haven't noticed it at all?

"It's really considerate..."

Orochimaru's body remained still, his neck rotated 180 degrees and he looked back at Luke: "If I guess correctly, you are the Luke the old man mentioned, right?"

"Accepting a disciple as a master, in terms of seniority, you are still from my master's generation..."

"Hey, it's just seniority, we all have our own opinions."

Luke smiled: "The roots are now reorganized. I have always admired Senior Orochimaru's scientific research capabilities."

"Let's talk about funding and resources. Compared to Shimura Danzo, I know a little bit about ninjutsu research and development and human research. Maybe we can discuss it together..."

Orochimaru's eyes flashed with strange lights.

The power of the root was actually taken away by Luke!

If Shimura Danzo was still there, that man would never do anything to allow his power to be shared by others...

The question is, how did Luke do it?

Shimura Danzo is an old friend who is in the same spirit as his Hokage teacher. Although he is not the Hokage, he is very domineering in the village because of the so-called root of Konoha.

In the past, Sarutobi Hiruzen deprived Danzo Shimura of the title of Hokage's assistant several times, but Orochimaru knew that the power of the root was always firmly controlled by Shinobi's Darkness.

These root ninjas are nominally part of Konoha, but are actually private soldiers raised by Danzo Shimura.

But what Orochimaru saw along the way was that the root ninjas were all performing their tasks in an orderly manner, and there was no abnormality at all due to the absence of Danzo Shimura.

What Luke said about assigning root ninjas to capture the outer village ninjas also showed his dominance.

"Luke... I have a question, where did Danzo Shimura go?" Orochimaru licked his lips unconsciously, staring at Luke with his snake eyes:

"It's really rocket-like speed. It only took three days to go from being an unknown chuunin and jounin to the power of being assisted by the Hokage."

"Shimura Danzo is dead." Luke said crisply: "I killed him, under the Hokage's order."

Orochimaru laughed: "It is said that you have been inherited by the Second Hokage... I would like to ask, which Hokage gave you the order?"

"Is it the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, or the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen..."

Orochimaru slowly approached Luke, his eyes gleaming with excitement, and he stared directly at Luke: "Or maybe you are the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama-sama?"

Chakra exploded, and the snake hand was about to come out from his cuff, making a hissing sound.

If Luke really is Senju Tobirama...

So being resurrected after thirty years, isn’t this a different kind of eternal life?

This is what Orochimaru desires most!

And a pair of bloody red eyes suddenly appeared in his eyes, occupying his spiritual world like the sun!

The next moment, Orochimaru was placed on the cross. Luke stood beside him with a sharp knife and patted Orochimaru's fair face with the handle of the knife.

"I am Uchiha, how could I be Tobirama Senju? Senior Orochimaru, I think you are too tired from scientific research and started to talk nonsense..."

At this moment, Luke was also a little surprised.

It is said that Orochimaru has a weak resistance to illusions, but it is not true.

Even at this moment, Luke can clearly feel Orochimaru's struggle in the illusion. If Orochimaru had not been so arrogant as to look directly into his eyes, and if Uchiha Izuna had not helped him to attack suddenly...

It is a foolish dream to want to freeze Orochimaru with ordinary three magatama.

The so-called weak resistance to illusions may be a side effect of the excessive splitting of the soul by Orochimaru in the original time and space...After all, the essence of illusion is Yin Dun, and Yin Dun corresponds to the spirit and soul.

"Besides, it doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that we win the current war for Konoha together..."

"There is no right or wrong in ninjutsu. I support the development of forbidden techniques, but we must have a bottom line and not attack people in the village... As for some special resources you want, as long as the credit is in place, it can be discussed."

Luke pointed to the Sharingan: "That's no problem. The Uchiha clan has a lot of reserves..."

Orochimaru's eyes lit up, not caring about the embarrassment of being frozen just now.

Face is not important.

What matters is the resources in hand!

Or the kind that can walk under the sun and be carried out openly in Konoha...

If there is no choice, who is willing to leave their hometown?
