After a long time of secret investigation, although it was incredible and he didn't want to believe it,
After eliminating all the impossibilities, Fugaku still turned his attention to the ANBU and Root, led by Danzō.
Only these two departments, or rather, only the Hokage in this world, could make the Uchiha clan members on missions have perfect, flawless accidents every seven or eight years, without any trace.
With suspicion, and when the suspect was also the real culprit, it was easy to find related clues.
Using his right eye's ability to see the past directly on Danzō and the Third Hokage would definitely reveal the truth.
But this was obviously impossible. Both of them were kage-level strong ninjas. If he used his Mangekyō Sharingan ability on them, he would inevitably be noticed. At that time, it would only deepen the conflict between the Uchiha and the village.
After careful consideration, Fugaku secretly used his right eye's ability to see the past on some ANBU and Root ninjas. Finally, he found some scenes of Root and the ANBU secretly cooperating to kill Uchiha clan ninjas.
Because he had seen these scenes, combined with the bad scenes he had seen in the future, Fugaku deduced that if he didn't change the Uchiha clan's impression in the hearts of the Third Hokage and the others, the Uchiha clan would eventually disappear.
Even if he led the Uchiha clan to leave Konoha now, it wouldn't prevent the clan from being wiped out.
Changing the Uchiha clan's image and making it fully integrated into Konoha was the only hope for the Uchiha clan to continue.
"This is disgusting!"
Kenshi felt disgusted and retreated from the memory. There was no need to watch the rest.
He had already understood Fugaku's Mangekyō Sharingan ability.
Regarding Fugaku's decision in his memory to curry favor with the Third Hokage and make the Uchiha clan fully integrated into Konoha, Kenshi could only say that it was disgusting.
Looking at it from the perspective of the original story, he had succeeded.
Although the cost was great, at least the Uchiha clan had indeed fully integrated into Konoha, well, in the future Boruto anime.
From Fugaku's perspective, what he did might not be wrong.
But from the perspective of the Uchiha clan members who were killed, it was completely wrong.
This kind of excuse, for the sake of so-called "greater good," killing the entire clan and only leaving his own son alive, and then claiming it was for Konoha, to prevent greater casualties, was the most disgusting thing.
If you were really for Konoha, you would have just killed all your sons. There would be no more Uchiha in the world, and there would be no more conflicts.
However, seeing that his two sons would be able to live in Konoha in the future, Fugaku in the original story didn't resist. He let Itachi and Obito slaughter his own clan.
This guy was as disgusting as Itachi, the great filial son.
Don't tell me about Itachi's great pain and guilt as he walked the path of atonement. The fact that he wiped out the whole clan, and then he had his reasons, and he did this and that, can't wash away his sin of wiping out the whole clan.
"Damn… forget it, I don't want to think about this."
Kenshi shook his head, throwing away the thoughts caused by Fugaku's memories.
Japanese anime often has this kind of great filial son plot.
Naruto has Uchiha Itachi.
One Piece has Yamato.
Equally disgusting.
"Wh… hmm… what's wrong, Hiruzen-nii?"
Perhaps Kenshi's emotional fluctuations were a bit big. Chiba Emi, who was cheering him on, noticed it and couldn't help but ask in a concerned voice.
"Nothing, continue."
Kenshi shook his head, then grabbed the fiery secretary's slender waist and smiled.
Before he left, he had to leave something behind. Hopefully, he could give the Third Hokage a surprise.
For three nights in a row.
Finally, a trace of Kenshi's chakra fluctuations came from Chiba Emi's stomach. He knew that he had another son.
Plus the one in Mikoto's stomach, two sons were born. A cause for celebration.
Now, only his original goal remained.
…
"Subarashi (Amazing)!"
Late at night, in a laboratory in the Root base, Orochimaru stood in front of the experimental table, looking up at the light blue liquid in the syringe in his hand. He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Then, he stabbed the syringe into the blood vessel in his neck and injected the light blue liquid.
He put down the syringe and closed his eyes to feel it. Soon, he felt a surging, exuberant vitality within his body.
He picked up a kunai and lightly scratched a small cut on his palm. A thin line of blood oozed out.
Orochimaru waited for a while, then wiped his hand. The wound was gone. It was as if he had just drawn a red paint line on his palm.
"Amazing!"
Orochimaru couldn't help but exclaim again. Then, he suddenly frowned. Just the weakened version of the Adaptability Factor had such an effect. If it were the original version… he couldn't believe it.
But it would definitely be even more powerful. It might even be able to solve the side effects of reincarnation.
"It's a pity that Danzō watches that test subject so closely!"
Orochimaru had been invited by Danzō to join the Wood Release Revival Project a year ago. But he wasn't actually very interested in Wood Release. Instead, he was very interested in that Adaptability Factor that could extract cells that allowed people to adapt to Wood Release.
Adaptability Factor was his name for it. It could not only give people a huge amount of vitality and increase their chakra, but it could also give people a unique adaptability.
Orochimaru had been experimenting for a year. He was now immune to most toxins and had acquired physical resistance to various toxins.
This adaptability was very compatible with Orochimaru's Immortal Reincarnation Technique, which he was developing based on the Spiritualization Technique's body-snatching rebirth and the Reanimation Jutsu.
It could help him eliminate the rejection between soul and body and prevent his soul from being damaged after reincarnation.
Boom!
At this moment, the entire Root base suddenly shook violently. The entire laboratory shook as well.
"What happened?"
Orochimaru's face changed. At the same time, he quickly ran out of the laboratory and ran towards the direction from which the roar was coming.
This was the Root base.
The walls and floors were all reinforced with sealing jutsu. What could cause this kind of shaking? Could it be that they were attacked by a Tailed Beast Ball?
Orochimaru thought to himself. Soon, he arrived at the location of the roar.
"Laboratory Zero!!"
Orochimaru's heart skipped a beat. He realized something was wrong, but he couldn't do anything for the moment. The door to Laboratory Zero was closed, and it was covered with various sealing jutsu. He couldn't get in for the moment unless he used a powerful attack jutsu.
But… what did Danzō do in there?
Orochimaru was puzzled. The laboratory door was intact. He subconsciously thought that the noise just now was caused by Danzō.
After all, only he could enter Laboratory Zero.
Until footsteps came, Orochimaru's pupils instantly constricted. He realized he was wrong.
"Orochimaru… you… you caused the noise just now!"
"What are you doing here?"
Danzō arrived with a team of Root members. Seeing Orochimaru standing at the entrance of Laboratory Zero, he immediately asked angrily. The Root ninjas behind him were ready to take Orochimaru down at any time.
"I just got here." Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue and replied in a hoarse, magnetic voice.
Hearing this, Danzō's face changed abruptly. Realizing that something had happened inside Laboratory Zero, he instantly used the Body Flicker Technique to get to the entrance of Laboratory Zero. He reached out and touched the sealing jutsu on the door, forcefully opening it.
Clang… Bang!
The door opened. Danzō immediately looked at the huge glass container in the middle. The test subject was gone.
"Who is it!!!"
A roar erupted from Danzō's mouth, but there was no response. Only the huge circular passage above the laboratory indicated that the enemy had already left with the test subject.
"Chase."
Danzō, ignoring his anger, immediately led his men up the passage that connected to the surface.
Orochimaru didn't follow. He carefully checked the things in the laboratory.
The enemy was able to accurately locate Laboratory Zero and break through all the sealing jutsu defenses of the Root base from the ground with one blow. They were very strong. It was highly likely that chasing them would be futile.
It was better to take advantage of this opportunity to see if there was anything he needed in the laboratory.
"Huh… this?"
Soon, Orochimaru found a tube of deep blue liquid solution reagent in a cabinet. He immediately smiled.
