Zetsu stepped forward to examine him. "His condition is very unusual. His primary consciousness hasn't awakened; this is merely a subconscious reaction."
Obito shook his head and prepared to leave the laboratory.
At that moment, the special White Zetsu on Danzo's arm poked its head out. "There's something wrong with this guy's body. It seems to be fusing with me."
Obito's heart stirred. "Zetsu, take a look and see what's going on."
It was Zetsu's first time encountering such a situation as well, and he hurried forward to conduct a detailed examination.
"Unbelievable. How can such an old body show signs of fusing with Hashirama Cells?"
Since beginning his research on Hashirama Cells, it was also the first time Zetsu had encountered such a thing.
The right half of Danzo's body began spreading toward the left half at an exceedingly slow pace.
Though the speed was very slow, both Obito and Zetsu were patient. After observing for a while, they confirmed the phenomenon.
When Danzo's body had been eroded as far as his right chest—
Danzo's body suddenly began to shake violently.
The skin on his body bulged, as though something beneath it were about to burst out.
Black Zetsu shook his head. "No. Hashirama Cells are too powerful, and his body is too weak. Unless there's greater ocular power to promote the fusion—"
"Otherwise, Danzo will only turn into a tree. Even if he pulls through, this kind of fusion can only exist on the surface."
"Didn't they find several Sharingan on him when he was unconscious? Put them back in and give it a try."
It was also Obito's first time seeing the experiment progress like this. He had intended to use Danzo as an experimental subject anyway.
"You mean the ones that were removed from his arm?"
