"So it's you......." Orochimaru breathed out softly, and then said with a troubled expression: "I say, Kaoru, can you not appear so strangely every time? I get startled every time, this feeling is really quite uncomfortable......"
Kaoru's sudden appearance and stunning Sasuke with one move made Orochimaru very unhappy, but in the face of the absolute difference in strength, he could only protest in a low voice........
"Alright, you should know the purpose of my coming this time." Ignoring Orochimaru's protest, Kaoru said indifferently.
"Of course, of course, but your Illusion Clone disappeared from my laboratory for no reason, this......"
"I did it." Kaoru nodded and said, "In order to test whether you had really succeeded."
"Then are you satisfied with the result?" Orochimaru laughed.
"Not bad." Kaoru nodded: "You're really something. The cells of the First Hokage were really completely devoured by my Illusion Clone."
"I have to say that the early stages of the experiment were very difficult. After transplanting the cells of the First Hokage, your Illusion Clone was directly completely eroded by Wood Release, but it quickly recovered. After I repeatedly processed the cells of the First Hokage, I finally created cells that were completely compatible with your body. It was really hard work."
"Alright, I understand. Now start transplanting the cells of the First Hokage for me." Kaoru said indifferently: "But if you fail...... you know the consequences."
"Of course, I know." A drop of cold sweat dripped down Orochimaru's face. The consequences of failure.... would probably be death, right?
Soon, Orochimaru led Kaoru to the laboratory to prepare.
The process of transplanting Hashirama's cells was very simple, not as complicated as Kaoru had imagined. It was just injecting the Hashirama's cells that Orochimaru had modified into his arm through a syringe.
When completing this process, Orochimaru's hands were trembling, and Kabuto, who was on the side, was constantly wiping sweat for him. He was also very nervous about transplanting Hashirama's cells for Kaoru. You have to know that if there was a problem with this, the first person to die would definitely not be Kaoru, but him!
It was just an injection, but it took Orochimaru a full half an hour to complete.
"Alright....." Orochimaru said cautiously, and then retracted the syringe, "If there is a rejection reaction, I suggest you directly dig out the muscles at the injection site. This can minimize the risk of being devoured by Hashirama's cells......."
Kaoru didn't answer Orochimaru's words, but carefully sensed everything in his body.
Everything was normal in his body now, and he didn't feel anything.
"You have to wait for Hashirama's cells to completely fuse with the other cells in your body before you can confirm whether this experiment was successful. The fusion process takes twelve hours, so these twelve hours are the observation period. If you successfully pass these twelve hours, then this experiment will be successful." Orochimaru stood on the side and explained.
"Twelve hours, huh?" Kaoru glanced at his hand, and then looked at Orochimaru and said: "It doesn't matter, then I'll stay here for twelve hours. These twelve hours will not only determine whether the transplant is successful, but also determine whether you can still live in this world......."
Hearing Kaoru say this, Orochimaru swallowed, and nodded heavily.
"By the way, have you thought about the matter regarding Danzō?" At this time, Kaoru was comfortably sitting on a sofa, asking Orochimaru, who was also sitting on the sofa opposite him.
The twelve hours of waiting was just too long, so Kaoru had to do something to pass the time.
"Of course, I've thought about it. I've always wanted to do this, but because I've been busy helping you do experiments recently, and with Sasuke's arrival, he keeps asking me to teach him ninjutsu, I really haven't had time to make a move on Danzō." Orochimaru said, "However, after helping you complete the experiment to transplant Hashirama's cells, I can free up my hands."
"In that case, without further delay, you should make a decision quickly." Kaoru said calmly.
"It seems that you also hate Danzō quite a bit, Kaoru?" Hearing Kaoru's words, Orochimaru laughed.
"That's right, I do want to kill him, and you want to obtain the Sharingan on his hand, so our goals are the same." Kaoru admitted very readily.
"If that's the case, then I'll arrange it immediately. I've really never conducted research on the Sharingan before." Orochimaru nodded and said: "However, I don't know if Danzō will accept my invitation....."
"He will accept it. I think Danzō will be very angry that you didn't kill the Third Hokage. Maybe he'll even contact you on his own." Kaoru laughed, he wasn't worried about this at all.
"Orochimaru!" At this time, an angry voice suddenly rang out in the hallway outside the hall.
It was Uchiha Sasuke's voice.
Just as this voice had just fallen, Sasuke rushed into the hall angrily.
"Orochimaru! Why did you knock me out just now!" Sasuke stared at Orochimaru's face and said angrily.
Then, he suddenly realized that there was more than just Orochimaru in this hall. Opposite Orochimaru, there was another person sitting with his back to him. Sasuke could only see his back.
However, this back looked somewhat familiar to him.
"You are......" Just as Sasuke was feeling strange, he suddenly felt a dizzying sleepiness coming over him, and then his whole person fell into a daze......
"You used genjutsu on him?!" Seeing Sasuke just standing there in place, having lost consciousness, Orochimaru asked Kaoru in surprise.
"I just don't want him to know that I'm here." Kaoru said indifferently, without even turning his head to look at Sasuke.
His dark side couldn't be known to anyone in Konoha, even Sasuke, who would be whitewashed in the future, the dark side should be sealed in the darkness.
"Kaoru, you're really a cautious person." Orochimaru said with emotion.
"Alright, you take Sasuke away from here first. Next, if this matter of transplanting Hashirama's cells is successful, then let's start dealing with Danzō. Arrange a room for me, I'll go rest first." Kaoru got up, passed by Sasuke, who was standing there stupidly, and also walked out of the hall, leaving behind Orochimaru, who was constantly sighing.
Soon, the twelve hours that affected Orochimaru's life and death had passed.
"The time has come......" In the hall, looking at the clock hanging on the wall, Orochimaru muttered to himself. He walked straight out of the hall, and first came to the laboratory.
"Kabuto, come with me to see how Uchiha Kaoru is doing." Orochimaru said to Kabuto.
"Yes." Kabuto nodded, and respectfully followed behind Orochimaru.
The two walked together towards the rest room where Kaoru was, but before they reached their destination, they felt a huge and surging chakra!
"This chakra, what great power!!!" Just the intangible chakra made Orochimaru and Kabuto secretly surprised. It seemed that something had indeed happened to Kaoru. As for whether this change was good or bad, it was hard to say.
Slowly walking towards Kaoru's rest room, Orochimaru and Kabuto discovered that the rest room's originally closed door had been broken open, and a large number of thick branches were emerging from the room, even blocking this passage!
"This is......" Kabuto looked at all of this, and his face instantly turned ugly: "Lord Orochimaru, judging from this, Kaoru seems to have been devoured by Hashirama's Wood Release cells. Wood Release has actually developed to this point........"
"This is troublesome......" Orochimaru also gritted his teeth tightly. The scene in front of him did look like Wood Release had lost control. He remembered that when he was transplanting Hashirama's cells for Danzō, if he lost control even slightly, it would be like this. The wood would grow wildly without restraint.
