After listening to Jiraiya's report, Third Hokage picked up his pipe, took a deep breath and said, "Jiraiya, are you sure you read it correctly? Danzo is really colluding with Orochimaru?"
"It's absolutely true. I don't want it to be true, but this is what I saw with my own eyes. Danzo has really been cooperating with Orochimaru. They also mentioned Shisui and Sharingan."
Jiraiya paused for a moment and expressed his guess.
"I'm wondering if the mysterious man who attacked Shisui before could be Orochimaru. After all, apart from Danzo, only Orochimaru has the strength to attack Shisui--"
"Oh--"
Jiraiya's analysis is too reasonable. Third Hokage is also willing to imagine himself as the most honest disciple, but he is still unwilling to accept the fact that Danzo has been colluding with Orochimaru all these years.
This means that his disciples and companions have betrayed him, and there are few trustworthy people around him now.
At this moment, Youhu came to Third Hokage and asked with concern, "Third Lord, you want to see me for something? You and Jiraiya are discussing Danzo's affairs."
Third Hokage nodded, and then said, "Yes, Danzo colluded with Orochimaru after becoming a traitor. I, Hokage, am very useless. I am abandoned by my own students and companions time and time again."
"How could that happen?"
Youhu shook his head and switched to boasting mode. "If it weren't for Third Lord, the anchoring needle, the village would not have the peace it has today. It wasn't that they abandoned Third Lord, but that Third Lord gave up on them.
"One day, I will come back to take revenge for Third Lord."
When Third Hokage heard this, he smiled with relief. Youhu was right. Danzo and Orochimaru left the village because it was their fault and had nothing to do with them.
It's enough for me, Hokage, to have a clear conscience. There will always be times when they regret it in the future.
Youhu's performance at this moment also made Third Hokage firm up his thoughts and said to Youhu, "Youhu, stop bragging about me. I called you here this time because of Wood Style Surgery's matter."
"Wood Style Surgery?"
Youhu was slightly startled, then said immediately, "Is it Wood Style Surgery of Root Organization? Isn't that experimental technology not mature enough? And Hokage, you have stipulated that the village can no longer conduct Wood Style Experiment?"
"The past was before, the present is now--"
Third Hokage showed a solemn expression and continued, "Today Konoha is troubled internally and externally. There are Uchiha Tiehuo inside who are ready to launch a coup at any time, and there are Danzo, Orochimaru and Obito who have defected outside."
"Danzo and Obito both have Mangekyō Sharingan. The ordinary Jonin is no match for them. The village must cultivate Ninja that can compete with them."
"And you are my favorite candidate."
"You are Uchiha Bloodline, who can resist the erosion of Hashirama Cells. If you can successfully awaken Wood Bloodline, you will have the strength to fight against them--"
"However, Transplant Wood Style's surgery involves huge risks. If you don't want to, forget it."
Before Third Hokage finished speaking, Youhu took the initiative and said, "For Konoha and Will of Fire, I am willing to do Wood Style Surgery. I don't want to continue to be weak."
As soon as these words came out, Third Hokage and Jiraiya were infected by Youhu's courage, secretly saying that Youhu is really a good boy.
Kakashi's expression changed. What does it mean that you don't want to continue to be weak? You can defeat Kakuzu. Compared to Five Kage, your strength is just above the level. Do you call this weak?
He has now learned Flying Thunder God Technique, and Kamui Sharingan, but he is not completely sure of defeating Kakuzu.
While others were feeling emotional, Youhu continued, "Third Lord, Wood Style Surgery, when will it start? I can't wait."
"That's it now. Come with me to the operating room."
Third Hokage did not expect Youhu to agree so easily. He thought Youhu would hesitate. After all, Wood Style Surgery had no other survivors except Yamato and Danzo.
After arriving in the operating room, the person responsible for performing the Wood Style Surgery was a Root Ninja researcher named "Xin".
Youhu felt that the name Xin seemed familiar. Then I thought about it, wasn't it Uchiha Shin?
This guy seems to admire Uchiha Itachi so much that he changed his name to Uchiha Shin. In the future, he also awakened the most rubbish Mangekyō Sharingan through research, which seems to be some kind of telekinesis.
Able to remotely control weapons to launch attacks by leaving marks on them.
These are not the most important. The most important thing is Uchiha Shin's physique. This guy has the special ability of immune rejection. Danzo's arm full of Sharingan was transplanted from Uchiha Shin.
But if Xin is just an ordinary experimental subject and researcher, and he looks ordinary.
After Youhu lay down, Xin picked up the syringe and said, "Youhu, I will inject the diluted Hashirama Cells into you later. You only need to turn on Sharingan and try to resist. If you really can't hold on anymore, just say something and I will cut off your arm to save your life."
"Let's get started."
Youhu said without any nonsense, he had awakened Wood Bloodline a long time ago, could there be any problems with this experiment?
Xin looked at Third Hokage not far away, and after seeing the latter nodded, he began to inject the diluted Hashirama Cells.
As the syringe was inserted, not only Xin, but also Third Hokage, Jiraiya and others began to become nervous. They knew how dangerous Wood Style Surgery was.
Ninja that fails to transplant Wood Style Surgery will not only die, but will also watch as it slowly loses its intuition and turns into a tree. This is simply a cruel punishment.
One second two seconds.
After more than ten seconds passed.
Youhu, who was lying on Operating Table, showed no reaction at all, and Third Hokage became more and more frightened. He even suspected that Youhu had passed out and wanted to abort the operation.
But he also knew that Wood Style Surgery could not be stopped once it started.
Youhu lay in Operating Table for five minutes. He was not adapting to Hashirama Cells, but thinking about how to fabricate a new identity for himself. He was already Izuna Reincarnated, and it was normal to have an extra Senju bloodline.
After waking up, Youhu stretched, and in the eyes of everyone's worried eyes, he said lazily, "It feels so good after squinting for a while, Wood Style Surgery is it over?"
Youhu's relaxed performance petrified the people nearby. They rubbed their eyes as if they didn't believe this scene was real.
Xin said with a face full of disbelief, "This is impossible, why didn't you have any rejection reaction in your body? Anyone who transplants cells will have a rejection reaction, even me."
Third Hokage frowned and asked, "Xin, did you take the wrong thing?"
Without waiting for an answer, Youhu shook his head, and then used Wood Style to create a sapling in his palm. He chuckled and said, "Third Lord, he probably didn't take the wrong thing. I think I have awakened the Wood Style of First Lord."
