"You inherently evil Uchiha brat!"
After holding it in the entire way, Shimura Danzō flew into a rage upon returning to Root.
The Root ninja all knelt on the floor, not daring to breathe loudly.
To dare slander him-they were simply asking to die.
What infuriated him most was that everyone thought he was the culprit, yet none of them had considered the possibility that the Uchiha Clan had staged the whole thing.
Was there not even a shred of trust between people?!
"Bastards!"
The more Shimura Danzō thought about it, the angrier he became, and he overturned the table and chairs.
"Heh, what a temper."
Orochimaru had just finished today's experiments and come out when he saw Shimura Danzō raging.
He had seen scenes like this several times already.
He was used to it by now.
Most likely, Danzō had been caught doing something underhanded and lost his composure in frustrated rage.
Orochimaru had no interest in whatever misdeeds Shimura Danzō had committed.
After teasing him a little, he left Root.
The experiments on Hashirama cells had reached a stopping point for now, and he needed to focus on researching immortality.
Human life was fragile and finite.
He was one of the Shinobi World's greatest research geniuses, obsessed with studying ninjutsu, the mysteries of the human body, kekkei genkai, Hashirama cells, and every other truth.
But a human lifespan of a few decades was not enough for him to research every secret and forbidden technique.
Mastering every ninjutsu in the world and seeing through the laws of life required an infinitely long time; a mortal body's lifespan was far too short to accomplish it.
To him, life was merely a tool for endless scientific research.
What he pursued was not longevity for pleasure, but eternal time for research.
