I'm doing scientific research in the Ninja World

"Hokage-sama, are you busy?"

Just when the two were arguing and Danzo was gloomy, a knock on the door broke the stalemate between the two.

"Come in!"

The door was slowly opened, and the figure of Orochimaru came into view.

"Hokage-sama, did I bother you?"

Orochimaru greeted politely, and at the same time saw Danzo with his back to him, and was quite curious that this old thief was also there.

But it was okay, he didn't have to notify him specifically, the two were just partners, not directly subordinates.

But Orochimaru still greeted him, after all, he was an elder, and he couldn't ignore him without giving him face.

When the third generation saw Orochimaru, who hadn't seen him for a long time, come back, his eyes only flashed with surprise, and then nodded to him.

But Danzo didn't respond to Orochimaru, but looked terribly gloomy as if he had eaten a fly.

Orochimaru didn't take it seriously, but he was also complaining in his heart, I just came back and you gave me a cold face, you are really something, you want me to study your Sharingan arm for you, wait!

Seeing that the two had something to talk about, and the atmosphere seemed not very harmonious, Orochimaru didn't stay for long, and simply reported and left.

But to his surprise, Danzo also stood up, without even saying hello to the third generation, and slammed the door and left.

"Orochimaru!"

Hearing the voice, Orochimaru stopped and turned to see Danzo with an indignant look on his face.

"Danzo, what's the matter?"

He just returned to the village, you don't want to let me go to work immediately, right? Are you in a hurry at this moment? Sure enough, the next moment Danzo's words confirmed his guess.

"Since you are back, you have to continue working."

Danzo walked side by side with Orochimaru to Danzo's root base. He urged him to go to work right away, and didn't pay him. Did he really treat him like a cow and a horse? I don't owe him anything.

"Danzo, I haven't found what I want for so long, but I keep providing you with research results."

Orochimaru simply stopped, narrowed his eyes and looked at him and continued:

"We are in a cooperative relationship. If you still can't give me an accurate answer... I think I have to think about whether to continue the cooperation!!"

Seeing that Orochimaru dared to threaten him with this, Danzo, who was already ugly, became even more annoyed at this time, and blurted out words full of gunpowder:

"What? You want to disobey my orders too?"

Orochimaru laughed when he heard Danzo's words. You old shaman gave me orders. I think you are angry and confused? Or do you think I am easy to talk to after not seeing you for so long?

"Disobey orders? Danzo, if you have such an idea, I think there is no need for us to cooperate. Anyway, I have nothing to lose."

After a pause, he continued:

"On the contrary, if you think that it doesn't matter if I don't help you, I have nothing to say."

At most, I have research exchanges with Danzo now, and we both get what we need.

It's not like the original book where he is obsessed with research and works like a slave without any care. If he really pushes himself to the limit, he can just break up. Even if the matter is exposed, he can just defect in advance. Do you still want to control me?

These words almost made Danzo explode, but when he met Orochimaru's cold snake eyes, he swallowed the harsh words that were just on his lips.

Based on his understanding of Orochimaru, Orochimaru can do such a thing. As he said, he can just pat his butt and leave, but what about his research?

The research progress has almost stagnated over the past year, which indirectly proves that Orochimaru is indeed a scientific genius, and his ability in this area is much stronger than others.

I kept telling myself in my heart that it was not the time to kick Orochimaru away, calm down! Calm down!

"You also know that the two things you want are not easy to get. The experiment has been stagnant for so long, and it is indeed time to speed up the progress!"

Noticing that Danzo's tone began to soften, Orochimaru gradually retracted his gaze and continued to move forward.

It seems that the progress during this period has indeed made him a little anxious, and he even dared to offend his excellent partners.

"Orochimaru, have you ever thought about becoming a Hokage?"

After a period of silence, Danzo continued to speak, but these words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, and they sounded reluctant.

"Oh? Why did Danzo ask this? As far as I know, you are more interested in the position of Hokage!"

Orochimaru did not dwell on the original topic anymore, and said with a half-smile as if nothing had happened.

Who among the Konoha high-level officials or the middle-level leaders of the major families doesn't know that Danzo has been coveting the position of Hokage for a long time? What is a thousand-year-old fox playing?What about Liao Zhai?

Why did he suddenly ask himself whether he should be the boss?

"Did the argument with the Third Hokage in the Hokage's office just now just happen because of this?"

Orochimaru's flexible mind made him know why he said this for the first time.

In the original work, Danzo found that he had no hope of running for Hokage, so he pushed Orochimaru, who worked closely with him, to run for the election. If Orochimaru became Hokage, he would definitely benefit a lot as a supporter behind Orochimaru.

Unexpectedly, Danzo made the same decision despite the tepid relationship now.

At this time, the system voice in Orochimaru's mind sounded again.

"The host has triggered the plot, the election of the Fourth Hokage! You have the following choices:

① If you run for Hokage, you will get a reward: a random enhancement of one of your physical attributes!

② If you refuse to run, you will get a reward of Blood Limit Byakugan."

Seeing these two rewards, Orochimaru ignored the previous content and directly chose the first option.

Being Hokage or not is not very tempting for Orochimaru, and he is just running for election, whether he can become the village chief is another matter.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the maximum level of earth attribute. (Note: opening and closing the underground laboratory is just the basic operation of the scientific research institute)."

"It's actually the earth attribute. I thought it was the wind attribute with the highest appearance rate of the predecessor!"

As the body came to a chill, Orochimaru obviously felt that he had a higher affinity with the earth attribute, and even the surrounding soil and rocks he felt that he could easily control as long as he thought.

But now the old thief Danzo is still around, so he can only wait until he returns to try again.

Danzo saw that Orochimaru looked thoughtful, thinking that he was thinking about running for Hokage, and did not disturb him.

"I have no opinion on running for Hokage, you can do it, Danzo!"

Orochimaru regained his mind and gave an answer that Danzo was more satisfied with. He just asked casually. Whether Orochimaru should stand up for election depends on how things develop.

There was still some time left, and he wanted to struggle a bit, what if he succeeded?

Just like that, the two of them walked into Danzo's root base with their own ulterior motives.
