After coming out of the Hokage Building, Hoshita Shuichi let out a long breath and walked towards the Konoha Hospital.
However, halfway through the journey, Hoshita Shuichi was stopped by two Root ninjas and met Danzo.
"The Third Kazekage was killed by you?"
Danzo asked straight to the point, secretly surprising the three Root members behind him.
Hoshita Shuichi was surprised and asked, "The Third Kazekage is dead?"
"Why do you think it was me, Danzo-sama?"
"I went to the Daimyo's mansion to carry out a mission. It was about the plan for the Tailed Beast Weapon."
Danzo frowned, his attention diverted: "Tailed Beast Weapon? Daimyo?"
Hoshita Shuichi said: "This is exactly what I want to report. The Third Hokage has won the support of the Daimyo and obtained funds."
Get the support of the daimyo! Is this possible?Danzo felt that he had a new idea.But if he went to find the daimyo, it would be tantamount to betraying the Third Hokage and even Konoha Village.But, Hiruzen can do it, but I can't?
Danzo thought to himself: "I am not really cooperating with the daimyo, I just need some funds..."
After making a quick decision, Danzo said, "Given the current situation, it is the most appropriate time to prepare for war to take back the interests of the River Country. What do you think, Hoshita Shuichi?"
Hoshita Shuichi pretended to think for a moment before saying, "What Danzo said is true, but this is not in line with the strategy of the Third Hokage."
Danzo felt a little relieved after hearing this, but then Hoshita Shuichi changed the subject: "Danzo-sama, it doesn't matter what we think. What matters is the decision of the Third Hokage-sama!"
"Master Danzo, you are not the Hokage after all!"
Danzo's face darkened instantly, and resentment surged in his heart.
The scene of him falling behind and losing the position of Hokage reappeared in his mind.
"If I had been a step faster back then...if I were the Hokage now, Konoha would have been even more powerful!"
"hateful..."
At this moment, evil thoughts began to grow in Danzo's heart.
That is to remove Sarutobi Hiruzen from the position of Hokage.
But at the same time he knew very well that this was extremely difficult!
Because Sarutobi Hiruzen has enough prestige and strength.
"In that case, then just lie dormant... With Hiruzen's cowardice, he will pay the price sooner or later, and that time will be the opportunity."
Thinking of this, Danzo immediately thought of another question.
If Sarutobi Hiruzen steps down, who would be the most suitable candidate for Hokage?
In other words, whoever comes to power will be most beneficial to him!
Orochimaru! Danzo quickly locked on a candidate.
The storm in Danzo's inner world was actually only a moment. He glanced at the respectful Hoshita Shuichi and said, "If there is a jonin meeting, I hope you will support me then!"
Hoshita Shuichi nodded and said with a smile: "Of course there is no problem, as long as you can satisfy my needs, Master Danzo."
Danzo wasn't surprised at all: "What do you need this time?"
Hoshita Shuichi smiled harmlessly and said, "Hashirama's cells!"
Danzo's pupils shrank slightly, and his heart beat twice, but he asked calmly: "Hashirama cells?"
"This is an experiment that is banned in the village. What are you using it for?"
Hoshita Shuichiichi said, "Tsunade-sama and I are developing a forbidden medical technique. The data left over from the last experiment is not enough, so I want to observe Hashirama's cells myself and do some small experiments."
"If you have difficulty, Lord Danzo, I can ask Lady Tsunade to apply to the Third Hokage."
When Danzo heard Tsunade's name, he immediately said, "No need, I will give you Hashirama's cells!"
Hoshita Shuuichi immediately showed a "sincere" smile: "Thank you very much, Danzo-sama!"
"Remember your promise!"
After Danzo finished speaking, he turned around and led his men away.
Hoshita Shuichi stood there and watched Danzo leave, sneering in his heart: "Danzo, Danzo, you used to be the guardian of Konoha in the darkness, but from now on, you will be the sinner who rots the roots of Konoha!"
Not only does he want to kill Danzo, he also wants to make him Konoha's arch villain.
Hoshita Shuichi did not stay in the Konoha Hospital for long. The reason he came here was to report his safety to Yakushi Nono and Shizune.
After leaving the Konoha Hospital, Hoshita Shuichi created a shadow clone and went home, while he himself went to Tsunade's house.
Tsunade was still busy developing forbidden medical techniques. When she saw Hoshita Shuichi appear, she was immediately surprised: "When did you come back?"
Hoshita Shuichi sat down opposite Tsunade: "I just came back, so Lady Tsunade should be very touched now, right?"
Tsunade pouted, "The first place you'll go to is definitely the old man, and then the Konoha Hospital, right?"
Hoshita Shuichi was not at all embarrassed by being exposed: "I went to the Hokage to report the mission situation, so Tsunade-sama is still ranked second in my heart."
"Smooth talk!"
Tsunade didn't appreciate it at all: "Hurry up and continue your research!"
Upon hearing this, Hoshita Shuichi immediately put away his playful intention and said seriously: "Tsunade-sama, I think it is necessary to study the cells of the first Hokage-sama!"
Tsunade frowned.
Hoshita Shuichi continued: "I don't want to study Wood Release. Without a strong Yang Release vitality, Wood Release will not be stronger than other bloodline limits."
"What we need to obtain from the cells of the First Hokage is the secret of highly activated cells!"
"Our current research stops at this step!"
"As long as we uncover this secret, the technique we need will advance by leaps and bounds, and there will be no more obstacles!"
Tsunade was very moved by what she heard: "The old man..."
Hoshita Shuichi joked: "All you need to do is break into the Hokage's office and smash the Hokage's desk!"
Tsunade's face darkened immediately after hearing this, and her fists clenched: "Damn little brat..."
Hoshita Shuichiichi immediately said seriously: "If Tsunade-sama and I apply together, the Third Hokage will agree."
"Besides, I just asked Danzo for the cells of the First Hokage, and he agreed!"
Tsunade's anger suddenly disappeared: "Danzo?"
"That guy... why did you ask him for my grandfather's cells?"
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said: "I am a double agent now. He wants me to support him in launching a war against the Sand Village during the Jonin Conference."
Tsunade immediately showed disgust when she heard this.
Hoshita Shuichi said: "I originally thought that this was a difficult request for him, but I didn't expect him to agree."
Tsunade said without any surprise: "Danzo was a staunch supporter of the experiment back then. He did not agree to end the experiment at the beginning. It was the old man who did not dare to continue because of the heavy losses."
"So it's not surprising that he had a little bit of his grandfather's cells in his collection."
Hoshita Shuichi nodded and did not continue the topic, leading Tsunade to discover that Danzo and Orochimaru were studying Hashirama's cells.
Revealing it now won't hurt Danzo.
It will also offend Orochimaru.
When we have results, we will snatch them from Danzo and make him mad!
"Yamato should be coming out, right?"
Hoshita Shuichi wasn't so sure.
Tsunade had already made a decision at this time, and stood up and said, "Come with me to the Hokage Building!"
Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "You can go, I have just created a shadow clone to report the transaction with Danzo to the Third Hokage."
Tsunade snorted after hearing this: "Little fox!"
On the other side, after returning home, Hoshita Shuichi's shadow clone went into the study, wrote down the deal with Danzo, and then asked the crow to deliver it to Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
Of course, just like Tsunade, Hoshita Shuichi did not deliberately lead to the fact that "Danzo was conducting research on Hashirama's cells."
However, in the Hokage's office, after reading the contents of the note, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but ponder: "Did Shuichi notice something?"
At this time, Sarutobi Shinnosuke emerged from the ground: "Third Hokage, Lady Tsunade is here!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen got a headache after hearing this and sighed, "Open the door and let her in!"
So Sarutobi Shinnosuke opened the door and Tsunade walked straight in.
But before she could speak, Sarutobi Hiruzen took the initiative and said, "Shuichi has informed me about the research on the first generation cells. This can be carried out, but it must be supervised."
"Also, human research like that must never be conducted."
Tsunade didn't have the aggressive attitude she had when she came, she nodded seriously: "Yes, I know."
Sarutobi Hiruzen added: "Also, Tsunade, you must keep an eye on Shuichi and never let him fuse with the cells of the first generation."
Of course, he was not worried about Hoshita Shuichi going to obtain Wood Release. But this guy might have a criminal record for taking risks in order to develop medical ninjutsu !
Tsunade didn't understand what she heard.
Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately told Tsunade about Hoshita Shuichi's risky attempt to merge the power of the Four-Tails, which surprised Tsunade.
She really didn't know about it.
With a solemn expression, Tsunade said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on him!"
