"Buzz--"
With a slight buzzing sound, the dark red armor covering Senju Chen's body disintegrated as quickly as the ebbing tide. The two surging, scarlet fibrous fluids separated again and were reshaped into two identical "Senju Chen" on the left and right sides.
Three Senju Chen stood in the shape of a cross, and the atmosphere in the entire underground space became extremely weird for a while.
"It's simply a perfect work of art..." Orochimaru's hoarse voice carried a hint of uncontrollable trembling. He looked at the two clones, his golden snake eyes flashing with unprecedented fanaticism, "This has transcended the concept of 'containers'. They themselves are the most perfect life forms that can evolve infinitely!"
Senju Chen felt the aftereffects of his soul being torn apart, and his head was still dizzy from time to time, but when he saw the reactions of the three top scientists in front of him, he felt secretly happy.
He turned his head and glanced at Orochimaru, and his heart Chunin couldn't help but think of Sasuke Uchiha, who was still in his infancy.
Poor Uchiha Sasuke, your future teacher is probably going to look down on your pair of Sharingan.
With this "Red Zetsu" clone, who cares about Shikotsumyaku and Sharingan?
This thing can heal itself if it is injured, and can repair itself if it is broken. If it is really broken, the worst case scenario is to replace it with another one. Anyway, the production line is in your hands, and you can have as much as you want. After the compatibility issue with Kekkei Genkai is solved later, you can use whatever blood successor you want. That is the real "do whatever you want".
Thinking of the compatibility issue with Kekkei Genkai, Senju Chen's eyes drifted involuntarily to the culture chamber with the "White Snowman" outside the laboratory.
However, Amado's idea reminded him.
"Raising babies"... I seem to have a batch of ready-made "babies" on my hands.
Senju Chen thought of the dozens of children who owned Kekkei Genkai that he bought from those black market merchants at Land of Water.
Those children are still placed in a secret stronghold of Land of Water, cared for by A Ying and Yukimura Shigure. They are like pieces of uncut jade, possessing all kinds of strange "blood seeds".
Wouldn't it be much faster to let them be "experimental subjects" than to start from scratch with White Zetsu?
It can not only provide valuable research materials for Orochimaru and others, speed up the research and development progress of "Soil of Creation", but also allow these children to receive the top "elite education" and train them to become their future team.
Kill two birds with one stone, perfect!
"Teacher, I have some ideas about the compatibility research between Kekkei Genkai and White Zetsu."
He briefly talked about the batch of children he bought at Land of Water.
"... They themselves are the owners of Kekkei Genkai. Their genes and their Chakra characteristics should be of great help to our research. Moreover, I also hope that the teacher can help me 'train' them. They are my future team."
"Oh?" When Orochimaru heard this, his eyes lit up instantly. He stuck out his long tongue and licked his lips, his smile becoming more and more joyful, "A living body with various Kekkei Genkai experimental materials? Little Chen, you always bring me surprises! Of course, no problem! Leave it to me, I will train each of them to be the best 'elite'."
Senju Chen looked at Orochimaru's expression of wanting to tie the children to the experimental table right now, and coughed dryly.
"However, this laboratory is fine for doing research. I'm afraid it won't be able to accommodate dozens of children coming in at once."
"This is indeed a problem." Amado also calmed down and pushed up his goggles, "And this place is too close to Konoha. If there are too many people, the target will be too big and easily exposed."
Senju Chen smiled slightly.
"I do know a good place. It is an ancient ruins and is very suitable for transformation into our new base."
In the next few days, Senju Chen was at Orochimaru's experimental base, testing various abilities and attributes of the clone.
That day Orochimaru suddenly came to Senju Chen.
"Little Chen, I just recently heard an interesting rumor through some special channels... Minato Namikaze, it seems... has fallen?"
Senju Chen knew it in his heart. He knew that sooner or later, his teacher would ask about this matter.
He nodded, with a look of sadness and helplessness on his face.
"Yes, teacher. On the day Sister Kushina gave birth, foreign enemies invaded, and Brother Minato... died in order to seal Nine-Tails."
Next, Senju Chen selectively and concisely told Orochimaru what happened to Night of the Nine-Tails, as well as the subsequent downfall of Danzo, taking over the "root" department by himself, and letting Kabuto Yakushi be his deputy.
Of course, he didn't mention a single word about the embarrassing fact that he tried to challenge Death God and was almost deleted on the spot. He only said that he tried his best, but in the end he only saved Kushina's life (in a state of suspended animation).
After listening to Senju Chen's narration, even Orochimaru couldn't help but fall into a brief silence.
Fourth Hokage was killed, the master of Root fell, and the core of power of Konoha experienced such violent turmoil in just one night.
And this "good apprentice" of his, not only was not affected by this storm, but took the opportunity to swallow the richest dark legacy of "roots".
This method, this character...
Orochimaru looked at this good apprentice in front of him, and for the first time, he felt a sense of "the future is to be feared" in his heart.
"No wonder..." Orochimaru suddenly chuckled and broke the silence, "No wonder it was so slow for me to receive the news this time. It seems that the death of that old guy Danzo has also greatly affected my intelligence channels."
As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his arms and threw it to Senju Chen.
"Since you took over Root from that old guy Danzo, you might be able to use this."
Senju Chen subconsciously caught the scroll, opened it, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
What is recorded on the scroll is not some profound Ninjutsu, but a series of mind-numbingly complex codes, secret words, contact methods and contact locations!
Behind each password, there corresponds to a code name and an area!
This... this is the connection code used by Danzo to contact the "root" peripheral spies all over the world!
"Teacher, what are you..." Senju Chen raised his head and looked at Orochimaru in shock.
He was still having a headache with Kabuto Yakushi two days ago, how to integrate the huge intelligence network left by Danzo. Unexpectedly, today, Orochimaru directly sent the "key" to him!
"Nothing." Orochimaru smiled nonchalantly, "Danzo, that old guy, is seriously ill, but he always has an inexplicable 'trust' in me. When I was still at Anbu, I helped him deal with a lot of shameful things, and because of this, I came into contact with some core secrets that he should not let outsiders know."
"These passwords are the backups I left before. They were originally just for emergencies."
Senju Chen holds the scroll in his hand and feels his heart pounding.
What is this "just in case of emergency"!
This is like someone giving you a pillow when you feel sleepy, and it's a down pillow with gold edges!
Senju Chen doesn't care how his teacher got such a core secret from that old fox Danzo. What's important is that with this scroll, the huge intelligence network covering the entire Shinobi World with more than 30,000 informants spread all over Shinobi World will become the sharpest eyes and ears that can really be used by him!
"Teacher..." Senju Chen took a deep breath, put the scroll away solemnly, and bowed deeply to Orochimaru.
"I accept this great gift."
