The reason for this arrangement was that Uchiha Fucheng believed that during the time Danzo disappeared, the Konoha higher-ups would quickly discover the anomalies in Root.
The best candidate to succeed Danzo Shimura and securely take over the forces of Root was, and only was, Orochimaru!
Uchiha Fucheng placed some of Danzo Shimura's collections that were sensitive to snakes into a hidden storage compartment in the rock wall before slowly closing the secret chamber door.
These methods of his seemed to have triggered Orochimaru's exceptionally sensitive "animal intuition."
Far away from Uchiha Fucheng, in Orochimaru's experimental base, Orochimaru, dressed as a young scientist, suddenly had the feeling of being watched.
Orochimaru, who was just finishing a biological experiment, looked up with some confusion at the naked Kato Dan floating in the nutrient solution.
Licking his lips slightly, Orochimaru's sharp snake-like pupils flashed slightly.
"Hiss, this time, something is about to happen."
The names Root and Danzo Shimura had completely become historical terms after Uchiha Fucheng looted the Root base.
Even if the next successor, Orochimaru, took charge of Root, the threat to Uchiha Fucheng would become very low.
Moreover, since Nawaki had not died, Orochimaru's pursuit of longevity was not even as high as Tsunade's.
His desire for human experimentation and his efforts and investment in longevity were far behind Tsunade's.
Recently, as Orochimaru's research assistant, Tsunade had made significant breakthroughs in research on cloning, human organ transplantation, and physical revitalization.
Conversely, Orochimaru's attitude toward death was not as extreme as it was in the original history.
Orochimaru had even repeatedly advised Tsunade that overly extreme human experiments might turn her, the Konoha Princess, into a figure loathed by everyone.
On the contrary, the unexpected appearance of Jiraiya in Stardew Valley gave Uchiha Fucheng a sense of surprise. Nagato had always been monitored by the Misaka Sisters, but the Misaka Sisters were short-handed.
When Nagato was attacked, the two Misaka Sisters present did not have enough strength to control the White Zetsu, so they could only temporarily hide underground.
This was what allowed Jiraiya to become the hero who saved Nagato.
According to the monitoring by the Misaka Sisters, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu appeared again near Nagato and Jiraiya three days later.
However, because of Jiraiya's protection, Black Zetsu did not resort to violent coercion against Nagato; instead, it allowed Jiraiya to take him as a disciple.
Uchiha Fucheng even speculated that Black Zetsu's intention might be to play it safe.
"This is actually very close to the original main storyline of fate."
Jiraiya really did have a fated connection as a teacher with Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan.
Black Zetsu and Uchiha Madara had subjectively allowed Jiraiya to take them as disciples. Fucheng put himself in Black Zetsu's shoes and thought that it was also for the growth of the Rinnegan.
This pair of peculiar eyes still needed more time to grow, and Nagato also needed a relatively safe environment to grow up in.
"I just don't know if Yahiko, Nagato, and the three of them, having been influenced by my own ideology, will once again come up with the idea of [Creating Akatsuki]."
Uchiha Fucheng put away the intelligence on the table and took out the right eye of Uchiha Shinji that he had obtained from Danzo's secret chamber.
"A Three TomoeSharingan removed in advance might have a chance to evolve in sync with the left eye."
Uchiha Fucheng intended to have Uchiha Shinji transplant his own original Sharingan back into both eyes to complete them.
With only one Mangekyo, Uchiha Shinji couldn't even use Susanoo, which was too great a limitation on his strength.
He wanted to see if, after being separated for a long time and then re-transplanted into one person, there would be a situation where one eye remained a Three Tomoe while the other was a Mangekyo.
Uchiha Shinji, lying on the operating table, appeared a bit excited, but judging by his expression, he didn't seem worried. On the contrary, Uchiha Kagami, his "old" father with a young face, was somewhat anxiously restless.
"Rest assured, Shinji's own eyes will definitely be fine." Uchiha Fucheng comforted Uchiha Kagami while continuously treating Shinji with the Mystical Palm Technique.
"Although Danzo Shimura did many experiments with Shinji's eyes and even tried to fuse them with your eyes, Uncle Kagami, I have checked the state of the entire eyeball, and there are no signs of violent damage, and the biological activity of this eye is also fine."
This good news brought Uchiha Kagami much relief, and he nodded silently. He also held his own right Sharingan in his hand.
"My own left eye was destroyed by Ninjutsu when I was ambushed by Danzo, and now only this right eye remains. I can't use it on this Edo Tensei body, so why don't we try, like Danzo did, to transplant it into Shinji's body?"
Uchiha Fucheng raised an eyebrow, secretly appreciating this idea.
Although Kagami's idea was a bit whimsical, there should be no problem with its feasibility.
Theoretically, it was safer for Uchiha Shinji to transplant Sharingan now than it was for Danzo.
Just like how Kakashi couldn't close his transplanted Sharingan, Danzo also suffered from severe organ rejection of the Sharingan.
Otherwise, Danzo Shimura, who possessed numerous Sharingan, would not have only transplanted two on his arm.
But for Shinji, who possessed the Uchiha bloodline, transplanting a Sharingan from a direct relative would almost cause no rejection reaction.
Learning Izanagi and having one extra Sharingan meant having an extra life at a critical moment!
Having experienced life and death separations, Uchiha Kagami's desire for his son to transplant one more Sharingan was the worry of an "old" father stemming from fear.
But Uchiha Shinji had already gathered his own pair of Sharingan, so where exactly should this Three TomoeSharingan of Uchiha Kagami's be placed?
The first option was naturally to transplant it onto Uchiha Shinji's arm, just like Danzo.
The second option was to transplant it directly onto the center of his forehead, like Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
In terms of difficulty, arm transplantation was naturally the simplest.
But looking at the attitude of Uchiha Kagami and his son, they seemed to lean more towards the forehead.
"Since you've decided, then we will do the forehead transplant!"
Uchiha Fucheng explained, "However, to ensure the success rate of the Sharingan transplant, I also need to add a small amount of Wood Release Cells to Shinji's forehead to enhance cell activity and increase the success rate."
Uchiha Fucheng took out a piece of white biological tissue that emitted a faint aura of Wood Release.
"Wood Release Cells? Are they from the Senju family?" Uchiha Kagami mistakenly thought this was biological material Fucheng had obtained from Danzo's collection.
He recalled the crimes of Danzo Shimura and the scenes of Danzo using Tobirama's relatives for experiments, and Uchiha Kagami, who had originally calmed down, became angry again.
"It's all because of that scum Danzo; he is the greatest sinner of Konoha."
Hearing this, Uchiha Fucheng said nothing.
He would not absolve the "Scapegoat Shadow" of his crimes; this pot was big and round, and it was perfect for Danzo Shimura to carry.
In reality, this piece of Wood Release biological tissue was pure White Zetsu material.
More accurately, it was active Wood Release flesh and blood that had been "converted into Misaka Sisters."
This flesh and blood material extracted from the bodies of the Misaka Sisters retained a portion of the powerful cellular activity of the White ZetsuWood Release.
It also had one most important characteristic:
That was that Misaka Mikoto had absolute control over these Misaka Sisters cells.
