In the gloomy basement, two figures could be faintly seen in the flickering candlelight. The two sat at opposite ends of the table, and in the center of the table was a culture medium with a white mass inside.

"Orochimaru, your research results are okay, right?"

Looking at the white object in the medium in front of him, Tuanzang, who was covered in bandages and only showed one eye, asked coldly.

"Can't be wrong! This white man-made substance is definitely a wooden escape cell that has been integrated into the Thousand Hands Pillar of the original Hokage. ”

"This thing is very complementary to the human body, and although I don't know how the person who created this white object did it, it is definitely possible to find a way to successfully fuse the first generation of cells through it."

Orochimaru didn't care about Danzo's cold attitude, but instead stared at the white substance in the medium in front of him with a serious face, the frenzy that flashed in his eyes, it was the desire for truth, the powerful power of the original Hokage fascinated Orochimaru.

Orochimaru didn't expect that the white substance brought back by the little girl of the Kusa family would be so important, and when Ryuwa returned part of the remnants of Bai Jue, he who had been trying to create a wooden ninja felt a sense of familiarity from it at that time. The vigorous fluctuations of life, which cannot be wrong, are definitely intercolumnar cells.

"That's good, it's not in vain that the old man got this thing back from the storage room."

Hearing Orochimaru's affirmative answer, Danzang's only exposed eye couldn't help but flash a trace of joy.

Since the departure of the first Hokage, Konoha has lost the Kidoku, which can suppress the Tailed Beast. And the only remaining power that can suppress the tailed beast is the Uchiha clan's writing wheel eye, but the top management of Konoha has always maintained a high level of vigilance against the Uchiha clan.

Whether it was out of the strength of the wood escape, or the need to suppress the tailed beast or even the Uchiha clan, Konoha planned to create the wood escape ninja like this.

The first experimenters were all volunteers from within Konoha, but the powerful primary cells were obviously not something that ordinary people's bodies could suppress. The primary cells continued to erode the volunteers' bodies, and the experimenters who implanted the primary cells died one after another. In desperation, the third Hokage ordered the experiment to be stopped and the relevant information was banned.

However, the failure of several experiments and the loss of several lives obviously could not stop Danzo's ambition to obtain the Wooden Ninja. In Tuan Zang's view, those who have achieved great things should not be confined to the loss of a few lives.

Since adults have a strong rejection of the first generation of cells, babies are used. Danzo abducted a large number of babies from nearby villages through his own roots, implanted the first generation of cells, and continued the experiments of the Wooden Ninja.

Regarding the assistant of the experiment, Danzou set his sights on Orochimaru. There is no doubt that Orochimaru is an excellent researcher, and with the cooperation of the two, a lot of progress has been made in the fusion experiment of the first generation of cells. However, in the face of the powerful intercolumn cell erosion test subject, even Orochimaru couldn't find a way to suppress it.

The first generation of cells in the experiment went out of control one after another, and the infants and young children participating in the experiment turned into tree trunks one after another. In the face of successive failures, both Danzou and Orochimaru were about to give up, and even planned to leave the remaining test subjects to fend for themselves, but fortunately, a turning point appeared.

In the previous war, the white substance that Ryuha handed over gave Orochimaru a renewed hope, and the original cell-dyed Orochimaru mixed with this white man-made substance found inspiration again.

First of all, the sealed white substance was taken out by the hands of the group, and after a series of preliminary research, how to suppress the excessively strong vitality of the first generation of cells, so that it could maintain balance within the experimental body, and finally achieve fusion and symbiosis, Orochimaru already had some eyebrows, and the rest was to carry out specific experiments.

After walking out of Orochimaru's secret experimental base, a hint of coldness flashed in Danzang's eyes. Although a way to successfully fuse the first generation of cells was found through white objects, it also reflected a serious problem, that is, Konoha is not the only one who has the first generation of cells.

The first generation of cells has leaked out, who created those white substances? Kiss

According to the little girl of the Kusa Chi Clan, she found an enemy trying to scout the Konoha camp, and when she tried to kill the enemy, the enemy fell from her body while fleeing.

If what the girl of the grass family said is true, it means that the enemy has successfully fused the first generation of cells and used them for intelligence reconnaissance.

If it continues, maybe in the next ninja war, there will even be a wooden ninja among Konoha's enemies, so it is urgent to create a wooden ninja belonging to Konoha.

"Fog Hidden Village!"

Thinking of this, Tuan Zang snorted coldly.

So far, the most likely place to steal the first generation of cells is Fog Hidden Village. In the previous war, there was a big problem with the fact that the Fog Hidden side broke the contract again and carried out a sneak attack after releasing a peace signal. That is, how did the movement of the troops in the fog avoid Konoha's detection? The only reliable explanation is that this is the first generation of cells. And it's not the first time that the Fog Hidden Village has done this, the last time they stole Konoha Eye.

"The first generation of cells belongs to Konoha!"

Thinking of this, Danzang has already made some decisions, and he must not let the things that belong to Konoha be left behind. The first thing that should be done is to investigate the spies inside Konoha and find out how the first generation of cells leaked out.

......

In a courtyard, the three generations of Hokage took a sip of tea and then watched the sunset in the distant sky.

After a while, a black shadow suddenly appeared, half-kneeling in front of the three generations of Hokage, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a dark man wearing a cat-print mask. After the shadows appeared, he respectfully handed over a scroll, and then the whole person disappeared again.

Although the current supreme leader of Konoha is the fourth generation of Mebo Feng Shuimen, the third generation Hokage still holds a lot of power.

After the three generations of Hokage opened the scroll, they couldn't help but shake their heads as they watched the results of the analysis of the white matter recorded on it and the secret exchange between Orochimaru and Danzo.

......

PS:

Regarding the timing of Orochimaru's defection, there is no detailed time explanation in the original book.

The direct reason for Orochimaru's defection was that the three generations of Hokage found out that Orochimaru was secretly conducting human experiments, and decided to clean it up himself, but he couldn't bear to attack his favorite disciple and finally let Orochimaru go.

And Orochimaru encountered Kakashi's obstruction in the process of defecting, Kakashi was still in the dark department at that time, and looking at the costume, it was no longer the time to enter the dark department. In other words, the specific timing of Orochimaru's defection should be the time period when the three generations of Hokage returned to the throne after the death of Bo Feng Shuimen.
