Shimura Danzō

The Sharingan, one of the powerful cheats of the Ninja World, could only be obtained from the Uchiha Clan.

Kenichi Amamiya might never have encountered one in his life, but fortunately, his teacher was Orochimaru. Combined with Danzo, that black-hearted bastard, Kenichi Amamiya had successfully acquired a Sharingan during the Third Great Ninja War.

What? The Uchiha Clan's opinion? Don't worry, this eye had been dug out of an Uchiha Ninja who had already "disappeared."

Of course, this Sharingan was only a One Tomoe Sharingan and had little research value. Orochimaru had already finished studying it before handing it over to Kenichi Amamiya, but it was enough.

"Sharingan? The bloodline of the Uchiha Clan. From a biological perspective, this should be a hereditary gene. Or rather, Kekkei Genkai are mutations in genes that have been preserved." Kenichi Amamiya looked at the Sharingan in his hand with a hint of amusement.

No matter what Kekkei Genkai it was, or these eyes, anything that could be inherited seemed to Kenichi Amamiya to be a difference at the genetic level.

Perhaps their genes had undergone some kind of mutation, making them different from ordinary people and granting them such abilities. Of course, Chakra also played a crucial role in this.

The Naruto World was often called the world of eyes, because the ocular techniques in this world were truly too powerful. Even a Nine-Tailed Beast as powerful as Kurama had little ability to resist the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Not to mention the even higher Rinnegan. Even the Byakugan, which many people had ignored and mocked in the early days, was actually an indispensable force in Konoha.

At the very least, an ordinary Genin like Kenichi Amamiya could never obtain those eyes in his lifetime.

In the current Hidden Leaf Village, there were only two major clans. One was the Hyūga Clan with the Byakugan, while the other was the Uchiha Clan with the Sharingan. However, Kenichi Amamiya could tell that the Uchiha Clan was being pushed aside by Konoha's Higher-ups.

The Hyūga Clan, on the other hand, was very obedient. Although the Byakugan had been judged by many people in his previous life as a useless eye, unremarkable among all the various eyes, it was actually still very powerful.

Kenichi Amamiya wanted to study exactly how the genes in the Sharingan and the Uchiha Clan differed from those of other people. If he could figure that out, perhaps he could unravel the secrets of the Sharingan.

Unfortunately, this world's Tech Tree was flawed.

At this world's current technological level, it was still impossible to peer into things like Gene Chains and DNA. Scientific progress and development had never been sudden leaps forward, but eruptions built upon long-term accumulation.

For example, although a primitive Microscope had already appeared in Orochimaru's base, it still differed somewhat from the microscopes Kenichi Amamiya knew.

Konoha had Television, Air Conditioners, and Refrigerators, but this world still felt more like a backward world to Kenichi Amamiya. Chakra had brought some conveniences to ninja, but it had also hindered the development of science.

"Kenichi, pack your things and come out with me. The first stage of our live experiment can begin." Just as Kenichi Amamiya was still pondering this world's technological level, Orochimaru appeared behind him.

He glanced at the Sharingan in Kenichi Amamiya's hand without showing much reaction.

It was a One Tomoe Sharingan, and a discarded item Orochimaru had already finished studying. He did not care much about it, though he was rather curious to see whether his disciple could uncover something from it.

Kenichi Amamiya was fairly satisfied with his teacher as well. Orochimaru was an interesting person—extremely dangerous, yet also very good to his subordinates and disciples.

That was probably why so many people would later be willing to devote everything to Orochimaru. Kimimaro had even felt regretful that he could not become Orochimaru's vessel.

Thinking of Kimimaro, Kenichi Amamiya glanced at Orochimaru. He wondered when his teacher had brought Kimimaro back. If it was before Orochimaru defected, that would be perfect; he could study the bloodline of the Shikotsumyaku as well.

"Yes, Teacher." Kenichi Amamiya placed the Sharingan in his hand into a special container to prevent it from being damaged. Later, he could try to analyze and study it.

Kenichi Amamiya had actually considered the Byakugan at first, but obtaining it was too difficult. The Hyūga Clan's Caged Bird Seal was cruel, and now that he had the Sharingan, there was no need for him to consider the Byakugan.

Following Orochimaru, Kenichi Amamiya arrived at a forest on the outskirts of the Hidden Leaf Village. It appeared deserted, but in reality, one or two Root ninja were stationed there.

Danzo claimed it was for the laboratory's security, but both Kenichi Amamiya and Orochimaru knew it was surveillance.

Orochimaru did not care. Those Root ninja were quite capable, but compared to him, one of the Sannin, they were still far inferior.

After entering the Test Base, Kenichi Amamiya immediately saw that old undead bastard, Shimura Danzō.

He still looked fairly normal now, though time had already left marks on his face. Kenichi Amamiya lowered his head.

When facing an opponent he could not yet defeat, temporary humility was only to buy himself time to gain enough strength.

He had no desire to attract Danzo's attention. That would be troublesome; the Shadow of the Shinobi World was still very dangerous.

"Orochimaru, our plan can begin. These are several Orphans Root captured in the Land of Rain after this war ended." Shimura Danzō glanced at Kenichi Amamiya.

However, his attention remained on Orochimaru. Kenichi Amamiya was merely a minor character.

"That is truly excellent." The joy in Orochimaru's eyes was genuine. Kenichi Amamiya looked at the Orphans, trembling all over as they were imprisoned, and sighed inwardly.

There was nothing he could do. At most, he could only try to make the experiment succeed sooner.

"Come, Kenichi. Our experiment is about to begin. Remember to keep proper experimental records." The experimental records had been proposed and refined by Kenichi Amamiya. Orochimaru had liked them after seeing them once.

After that, he had Kenichi Amamiya handle that task every time they conducted an experiment.

"Yes, Teacher." Kenichi Amamiya's expression was calm and cold, just like Orochimaru's.

Shimura Danzō led several Root members alongside Orochimaru. He glanced at Kenichi Amamiya, then ignored the talentless ninja.
