Kakashi's heart beat heavily, and when he heard what Orochimaru said, he closed his eyes slightly, tears rolling down his cheeks.

The depression and entanglement that had accumulated for nearly ten years seemed to dissipate with tears, and the whole person's temperament became a bit more energetic.

It is very painful to deny the person you respect the most, especially if this person is still your father.

You can't complete an instant change, but have to go through a long process. If you don't pay attention, emotional bubbles will emerge from nowhere.

What makes people painful is not piercing them, but after piercing them, they will continue to emerge from the bottom of my heart.

Makes you wonder what the point of this repetitive behavior is.

Now, finally, you don't have to do that anymore.

The sky was twilight, and the morning light floated in the mist. In the jungle, Kakashi let out a sigh of relief, and his eyes became somewhat clearer.

After clearly recognizing his father's choice, he no longer dwells on the past and can move forward.

Orochimaru witnessed Kakashi's change, the corners of his mouth slightly raised,

"How, after learning about Shuo Mao's choice, what do you think now?"

"Are you going to take revenge on the village? Although I can't find a specific prisoner, it is obvious that the old man and the others, the silent people in the village, have a responsibility for everything they say."

Kakashi shook his head, "Father carried out his will, if I do this, it will be an insult to him."

"You don't have to think about it that way. It doesn't make sense for you to inherit what Shuo Mao did."

Orochimaru smiled, "If you follow this logic, what I'm doing now is also a betrayal of my parents."

"In the final analysis, it still depends on your own thoughts. If you really have complaints, you don't have to suppress them."

Kakashi was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Orochimaru to say that.

But complain?

Kakashi clutched his chest, momentarily speechless.

The village seniors who have been corrupted by power, the villagers who are willing to be victims... If they say that they have no complaints, it is undoubtedly deceiving themselves.

But so what?

Could he still take revenge on these people?

They didn't really do anything wrong. Although the third generation used sacrifice as a means, it was not for himself. Konoha Ninja sacrificed his life for the sake of the village.

Can I avenge these people?

In the end, bad results were incurred not because they were doing evil, but because of different ideas.

Idea... Kakashi thought about it.

Just now, Master Orochimaru said that the village has changed because of his father's death. After hearing this, he felt emotional and couldn't help himself.

But according to what he saw and heard, this change...is it really as big as he imagined?

Before and after the change, which one is the best for the village?

……

Kakashi has been reflecting and questioning for the first half of his life, and now, like inertia, many questions pop up in his mind.

But he may be a genius ninja, but in these respects, he is not even considered a novice, and almost never thinks about the roads of the village with the thinking of a manager.

After pondering for a moment, he asked Orochimaru the question in his heart.

"The one that is suitable is the best, there is no need to choose one or the other."

As always, Orochimaru gave a broad answer, and he shook his head,

"What Shuo Mao resisted was not sacrifice, but giving up thinking and taking sacrifice as a matter of course."

In fact, from the present point of view, the meaning of this matter is not only that.

Orochimaru doesn't care how many ninjas in the village die more or less.

But it would bother him if they all developed like the gennin of this group, rotted from the root, and accepted their fate as tool people.

High-quality leeks should not only grow passively, but also actively create value.

As he himself is like a lamp god, the ninja in the village should also exert his subjective initiative, or at least develop in this direction.

Just like Kakashi in front of him.

"The opposite of sacrifice is the best of both worlds. The latter is naturally better, but it's hard to do."

Orochimaru raised his brows slightly, and said with a smile, "Implementing one's own beliefs is not just something that can be said with a single mouth, it requires real strength."

"Although I admit Shuo Mao, there may not be a better way among them."

"Don't give up thinking, indulge in self-moving, do you understand?"

Kakashi nodded emphatically.

"It's almost time, let's go back." Orochimaru nodded slightly, jumped onto the treetops, and rushed towards the camp.

Kakashi followed closely behind.

After untying his knot, he found a new goal, and his life has been able to move towards another open world.

……

Ten miles away from the root ruins, in an underground laboratory.

When Kakashi was transformed, another person got what he had been pursuing all along, and his whole person was completely new.

clack clack...

The transparent glass cover of the nutrient tank shattered, and the dark green solution overflowed in all directions. Among them, a thin and withered figure walked out of it.

"Congratulations Danzo-sama, the first-generation cell transplantation was successful, how do you feel now?"

The chief researcher was smiling and excited, as if he hadn't seen the price of the success of the experiment, or rather, didn't dare to see it.

Danzo clenched his left fist. This arm, which had been damaged and shrunk due to previous battles, is now solid and powerful. His whole body seems to have returned to the most "vigorous" moment when he was 30 years old.

In the prime of life...

This word flashed in his mind, and Danzo couldn't help but smiled while covering his face.

The low laugh quickly turned into a big laugh, wild laughter, until he opened his arms, venting his ecstasy as if no one else was around.

It has been suppressed for decades, so long that his mind is numb, and he just insists on it mechanically, forcing himself not to have any doubts.

Now, the first ray of dawn finally ushered in. Although the roots were destroyed, his combat power returned to the peak, surpassing the already old Sun Zhan.

Danzo covered his face with his hands, the excitement, surprise, and joy were so strong that it was hard to suppress.

Seeing Danzo's performance, Genin who was present was also deeply touched in his heart. Now that his roots are half destroyed, Danzo, as the leader, can stand up, which is undoubtedly a booster.

"..."

After venting hysterically for a while, Danzo stood up and went into the bathroom to wash his body.

At this time, in the mirror, an unfamiliar face came into view. His eye sockets were sunken, his muscles were withered, and there was no flesh on his whole body. It was almost like a skeleton with a layer of skin.

Only then did he clearly realize what price he had paid for the success of the experiment.

"call……"

Danzo clenched his fists and let out a long breath. After leaving the bathroom, he went straight to the chief researcher.

Seeing Danzo's menace, the chief researcher's face remained unchanged, but his legs couldn't stop shaking, and he said anxiously,

"Master Danzo, this is just a normal postoperative reaction, and it will recover after a period of cultivation."

Chapter 188

Danzo looked directly into the eyes of the chief researcher, and said calmly, "How long will it take to recover?"

"...Well, your body has been strengthened by the first generation of cells, and it has undergone great changes. You can't judge it from your usual experience."

The chief researcher responded quickly, and immediately gave a reasonable reason.

Danzo withdrew his eyes and said slowly, "You are very good at defending."

In fact, he has no wife and no children, and he doesn't care about his current appearance. To exchange his mere appearance for real power, this deal couldn't be more cost-effective.

However, what Danzo needs to worry about is what impact this honor will have on Konoha.

Although it is possible to win sympathy as a victim and put all the blame on him, if Orochimaru sees something and slanders him for conducting the first-generation cell transplantation experiment privately, it is also a troublesome thing.

Hearing the unbelief in Danzang's words, the chief researcher said anxiously, "My lord, I'm telling the truth this time."

In order for Danzo's operation to be successful, he almost threw all his family property into it. Of course he has no regrets if he fails, but now that he succeeds, he has to start thinking about the future.

Danzo's research funds are not only unstoppable, but he has to increase his investment.

The chief researcher didn't care whether Danzo was listening or whether he could understand. Taking advantage of Danzo's mood, he began to pour out his bitterness, focusing on how much effort he had put in to make this operation that should have failed,

"...Master Danzo, before the transplant operation, your body was old and your Chakra was not strong enough, so I used... blah blah blah... You know, the reason why your whole body has undergone drastic changes is also because you have achieved perfection at the cellular level. Fusion, this is a technological breakthrough that even Orochimaru failed to achieve..."

"All right."

Danzo interrupted the chief researcher's chatter, "Since you said yes, then go prepare the schedule for training."

"... But my lord, the laboratory materials and funds are not enough now."

The chief researcher lowered his eyebrows, "For the success of the operation, too many precious materials were used to make a nutrient solution for nourishing the body..."

"You don't have to worry about money."

Danzo looks like a big dog with a lot of money.

Although the root was destroyed, there was no capital chain outside, and shortly afterwards, he was able to use this as an excuse to make another stroke of money to the third generation.

"Thank you Danzo-sama." The chief researcher lowered his head and smiled slightly.

……

The sky is bright and the red sun is rising.

After several days of rushing, Orochimaru and his party rushed back to Konoha Village after finishing the peace talks with Yunyin.

Lin Shu galloped back, seeing the gate of the village getting closer and closer, almost everyone couldn't help smiling.

This trip was safe and sound, and I easily completed an S-level task. It is really a pleasure to get a free reward while improving my resume.

shhhhhh...

After a few breaking winds, Orochimaru led the Konoha team and landed in front of the Konoha gate.

And just like last time, Orochimaru left trivial matters such as submitting tasks and sorting out action logs to the daily messenger, and rushed directly to the direction of the laboratory.

But before he had gone too far, he was stopped by a figure.

Orochimaru stopped on the treetop, smiled,

"Jiraiya, you are not in front of the gate, but you are waiting for me here specially, what's the matter?"

"A few days ago, Dou defected." Jiraiya looked serious, with sharp eyes, staring at Orochimaru, "Do you know about this?"

"I know."

A strange light flashed in Orochimaru's eyes, and he nodded slightly, "I will deal with this matter later."

"This is no longer your business alone."

Jilai also shook his head, "Dou attacked the root before defecting, and almost destroyed it all. Danzo has already learned about your itinerary, and is now in the Naruto room, forcing the old man to judge you."

"If you have something to let go, you have to think about what you will say later to deal with Danzo's questioning."

Jirai didn't know whether Dou attacked the root, whether it was inspired by Orochimaru, but because of emotion and reason, he couldn't watch Orochimaru being persecuted too much by Danzo, even to the point of rebelling against the village.

"You came here to tell me this?"

Orochimaru smiled, "Don't worry, after I learned about this, I've already thought about what to say."

Seeing Orochimaru's normal expression and calm expression, Zilai also heaved a sigh of relief, "Then come with me."

In addition to reminding Orochimaru, he also shouldered the task of bringing him to the Hokage Room, which is something most people cannot do, and Orochimaru may not necessarily give face.

And in the process of flying in the Hokage room, Jilai couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and asked,

"What you did was not instigated by you."

Orochimaru glanced at him, and asked directly, "Why did I do this? Just to destroy Danzo's roots?"
