Chapter 259: Revival, Orochimaru!
Originally, Hashirama's cells were used to balance the Sharingan on his arm. Now, the Hashirama cells are still there, but half of the Sharingan are gone. Danzo's body is on the verge of losing control. Forget about fighting; as soon as he extracts a bit more chakra, the Hashirama cells in his body show signs of rampaging. As a ninja, being unable to extract chakra makes you a useless person. No matter how ambitious you are, it's no use.
This arm was transplanted by Orochimaru. Now the patient is still here, but the doctor is dead. What to do? Danzo's secret warehouse still contains Sharingan preserved from back then, as well as medical ninjas, facilities, and tools. But to reach the level of transplanting Sharingan for him, the skill of these people is simply insufficient. Since the doctor is dead, then let's revive the doctor!
If anyone in this world understood the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Danzo said he was second, then no one would dare to say they were first. The Third Hokage's wife, son, grandson, disciples, and subordinates did not understand their old comrade as well as Danzo did. The two had been intertwined in struggle for seventy years; they knew each other inside and out.
When Jiraiya was reluctantly pushed into the position and hastily became the Fifth Hokage, Danzo secretly sent people to steal many of the Third Hokage's jutsu notes. Many say that Orochimaru's research into ninjutsu is very deep and has gone very far, but they do not realize that his teacher, the Third Hokage, also had considerable research into many forbidden jutsu.
Many years ago, the Third Hokage discovered the Heaven's Curse Mark that Orochimaru left on Anko Mitarashi's neck. Orochimaru didn't intend to hide it. With the level of a "Professor" of ninjutsu, even if he couldn't use Sage Mode, he could decipher its secrets through his profound knowledge of ninjutsu. The Third Hokage sealed Anko Mitarashi's Heaven's Curse Mark, and then recorded the key points, dangers, and his own handling methods of this jutsu in his notes, leaving them for future generations.
Danzo was decisive in his actions and studied the notes for two days. Estimating he had a twenty to thirty percent chance of success, he immediately had Fu Yamanaka tie up Anko Mitarashi, who was eating dango. Orochimaru was once Danzo's subordinate and worked in Root for a period. Later, their relationship changed from subordinate to ally. Danzo didn't expect that he would be the one to revive this guy in the end.
He stood with his cane propped up, and the unconscious Anko Mitarashi lay on the ground. Centered around her, intricate jutsu formulas were drawn all around. Sai took out a dose of medicine and injected it into Danzo's body, temporarily suppressing the rampage of the Hashirama cells. Danzo's voice was dry: "Begin."
The Root ninjas, one by one, stepped into the center through the gaps in the jutsu formulas with expressionless faces. They cut their wrists, allowing their blood to flow into the Heaven's Curse Mark on Anko Mitarashi's neck. After nine ninjas had perished, the Heaven's Curse Mark emitted a faint red light. Danzo beckoned, and Fu Yamanaka took out a half-meter-tall glass container. There was a sealing jutsu formula at the bottom of the container, and inside was a small piece of flesh and blood about the thickness of a finger. This was original Hashirama cell tissue extracted from the First Hokage's corpse.
Danzo used ninjutsu to connect the Hashirama cells to the Heaven's Curse Mark. His own sealing jutsu attainments were very high. He broke the seal applied by the Third Hokage, completely opened the curse mark, and then grabbed something with his palm, pulling it out forcefully with his arm. A large mass of white life energy transformed into a giant snake and rushed out from the curse mark on Anko Mitarashi's neck. The giant snake rapidly expanded, its mouth opened, and Orochimaru, covered in mucus, crawled out of the snake's mouth.
Suddenly revived, Orochimaru felt very uncomfortable. He lay on the ground, gasping for air. Danzo, meanwhile, signaled Fu Yamanaka to take Anko Mitarashi, their tool, away. After all, she was a well-known Special Jonin in the village. If she suddenly disappeared, it would definitely cause a stir, and Danzo was worried about causing a stir right now. She was taken back to where she was captured, and modifying memories was a minor task for Fu Yamanaka.
After a while, Orochimaru recovered from his weakened state after being revived. He stood up and looked around. The Root ninjas collectively assumed defensive stances. "Oh? It was you guys who revived me. It's so dark here, is this Root?" he asked mockingly.
Danzo said solemnly, "It was I who revived you, Orochimaru. I need you to do something." Orochimaru looked at him with a chilling aura for a long time. "Danzo...-sama, it seems your condition is very bad. The Hashirama cells have started to backfire on your body? Oh, it's from excessive use of the Sharingan. I understand, it's Izanagi, isn't it?"
Danzo stated his request directly: "I need you to help me transplant new Sharingan, quickly." Even with the life energy provided by the blood of nine ninjas and the Hashirama cells, and then reconstructing his body using his own Snake Release Body Shedding, Orochimaru's physical condition was still extremely poor. Chakra is composed of physical energy and spiritual energy. His physical energy was barely sufficient now, but most of his spiritual energy had been sealed with his main soul by the Reaper. At this moment, he couldn't use much chakra at all. With a large group of Root elites watching him like tigers, he had very little room to resist.
He spoke of his difficulty: "I'm afraid I can't do that. I don't have enough chakra to perform such a transplant surgery right now." As if anticipating Danzo's response, he said in advance, "You'll definitely say you have medical ninjas under you and that you'll have me guide them during the transplant, right? You don't understand the Sharingan, and you underestimate scientific rigor. That won't work. I must recover to full strength before I can do the transplant work. You don't want there to be many oversights after the transplant that will affect its use, do you?"
Danzo narrowed his eyes and stared at him. Orochimaru licked his lips: "How about it? We're allies, you shouldn't mind me recovering my strength, right?" Danzo definitely minded, but he needed more self-preservation abilities now and had to race against that reckless Jiraiya. His time was extremely precious and couldn't be wasted at all.
He couldn't control Jiraiya, so naturally, he couldn't control Orochimaru either. Now, even in his weakened state, Orochimaru dared to negotiate with him. What would happen when he recovered his strength? But Danzo could only rely on Orochimaru to transplant the Sharingan for him now. Abandoning the Hashirama cells and all the Sharingan? This option was not even within his plans.
He asked in a deep voice, "How do you plan to recover your strength?" Orochimaru also put his mind to work and thought. His current predicament was something he hadn't anticipated. Soon, he held up two fingers: "One, have your subordinate use that Reaper Death Seal to release my soul. Two, find my original corpse so I can reclaim the chakra within it."
Danzo weighed it repeatedly. Even dealing with a tiger was necessary now; he couldn't afford to hesitate. He had the Reaper Death Seal scroll in his hands. He had a subordinate skilled in sealing jutsu learn it. Three days later, the Reaper descended.
