Sarutobi Clan Members Willing to Die

"You conduct your experiments in a place like this?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the dark surroundings. The occasional waft of mildew made him frown involuntarily.

He had expected Root's research conditions to be poor, since this was a hastily prepared location, but he had not expected them to be... this bad.

How could Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had always lived in comfort, possibly approve of such a damp environment? To be honest, even the toilet in his home was countless times better than this place.

That was why he habitually frowned the moment he entered.

"I'm already satisfied that those two fools, Utatane and Mitokado, managed to find a place like this in such a short time!" Shimura Danzō said as he surveyed the laboratory.

However,

Shimura Danzō's words were filled with disdain for Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not refute him.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu truly were two fools. They were merely his followers, two people meant to take the blame for him.

If a policy or proposal he put forward displeased Konoha's villagers, then the two of them would play a crucial role. He would leak word that the proposal had come from the two advisors.

Even if those ignorant civilians wanted to resent someone, they would resent Konoha's advisors, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura.

As for Sarutobi Hiruzen, he would remain hidden behind the scenes.

"Enough of that nonsense. Overall, I'm still satisfied with their performance this time!" After glancing around the gloomy environment once more, Shimura Danzō finally turned his gaze to Sarutobi Hiruzen. "Give me the information. I'll prepare the sacrifices and materials needed for Impure World Reincarnation."

Shimura Danzō understood very well why Sarutobi Hiruzen had come: to conduct an Impure World Reincarnation experiment. There was no point in chatting
