Orochimaru needed a partner on the ground, and Danzo filled that role perfectly.
He was dark enough, vile enough.
He had status, and he could control things.
Did Orochimaru really think Danzo, whose Root had been completely wiped out, still had a trump card that could stand against him?
Orochimaru was focused on recording the various vital signs of Anko as the White Zetsu Cells fused with her.
Hiruko, meanwhile, began explaining the White Zetsu Cells fusion experiment to Danzo.
Danzo was deeply tempted. He coveted both the power of the Uchiha and Wood Style, and wanted to make them his own.
Unfortunately, Root had no scientific genius of that caliber. Only Orochimaru had that talent.
If he fused with the White Zetsu Cells, his Sharingan would be able to display its full power.
Danzo wanted to fuse with the White Zetsu Cells too.
But now was not the time for that.
"Orochimaru, is this really the time for you to conduct research? Hurry up and take First Hokage-sama and Second Hokage to defeat Madara Uchiha!"
Orochimaru gave a cold laugh. "Do you think Impure World Reincarnation is invincible? Though Impure World Reincarnation grants immortality, it fears sealing techniques, and the reincarnated cannot display their hosts' full strength."

Danzo was somewhat disappointed. "If even First Hokage-sama isn't his opponent, then who could possibly defeat Madara Uchiha?"
Orochimaru thought for a moment. "Perhaps the Sage of Six Paths!"
Danzo looked at Orochimaru. "Can't you use your connections and find a way to bring the Sage of Six Paths back through Impure World Reincarnation?"
"Danzo, do you really think I'm some kind of immortal? Bring back the Sage of Six Paths through Impure World Reincarnation? Even moving the Dragon Vein
