Over the next two months, Danzo continuously sent over more than 60 children under the age of 10.
Asana activated her Byakugan and carried out a very meticulous screening. After the first round of screening, only 19 of the more than 60 children remained. Orochimaru allowed Asana to decide how to handle the eliminated children.
Just as Asana was worrying about this, Uchiha En arrived at Orochimaru's laboratory.
Previously, Uchiha En and Orochimaru had agreed to earn money together to establish a laboratory unknown to the Konoha higher-ups.
During this period, Uchiha En would come over whenever he could, handing over mission rewards and other income to Orochimaru.
"Asana, what's wrong? You look worried," Uchiha En asked.
Hearing this, Asana glanced at Orochimaru, who nodded back at her.
Only then did Asana tell Uchiha En about the children.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha En immediately understood: Orochimaru was likely collaborating with Danzo to recreate Wood Release Ninja, and soon Orochimaru's human experiments would be exposed, leading to his defection from Konoha.
Thinking of this, Uchiha En felt concerned about Asana's situation.
Asana's many privileges within the Hyuga Clan were due to her being Orochimaru's disciple and a core member of the Hokage Faction.
If Orochimaru defected, the Hyuga Main Family would absolutely not allow a Branch Family member to rise above them.
Should I just slaughter the entire Hyuga Main Family now?
Hyuga Hiashi, Hyuga Hinata—anyone who could possibly threaten Asana must die!
Moreover, Uchiha En, having activated the second stage of Susanoo, possessed the strength to overturn the whole situation.
Besides, killing a few Hyuga Main Family trash now wouldn't expose him, only Hyuga Hiashi would be slightly tricky.
"En, what are you thinking about?"
Asana's words interrupted Uchiha En's thoughts.
"I was considering what to do with these children. But before that, could you let me see the 19 children you selected?"
Orochimaru, who had just received a large sum of money, was clearly in a good mood and agreed without hesitation.
Asana led Uchiha En to several rooms inside the laboratory. The 19 children were housed five per room, with the last room holding four.
Uchiha En entered the room, activated his Sharingan, and read some of the children's memories using genjutsu.
Uchiha En did this because he wanted to find Yamato among the children.
In the fourth room, Uchiha En found the person he was looking for.
Uchiha En casually put Yamato to sleep, then carried him back upstairs.
"Lord Orochimaru, there's no need to bother with the other children. Your experiment using this child is guaranteed to succeed!" Uchiha En spoke with absolute certainty, as the plot from the original work was already known.
"Guaranteed to succeed?" Orochimaru was slightly surprised by the statement.
After spending so much time together, Orochimaru believed he understood Uchiha En's personality quite well.
Uchiha En always held back a little when he spoke and rarely stated things definitively, but anything he guaranteed had never failed. If he said the experiment was guaranteed to succeed this time, then as long as his own procedures were correct, it would definitely work.
Orochimaru took Yamato from Uchiha En's arms and excitedly licked his lips.
