Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Orochimaru: "Anyway, I'm Not the One Left Disabled and Blind"



For someone with a bad reputation, becoming Hokage is almost impossible.

As long as we ruin Sakumo Hatake's reputation, the mission is basically accomplished.

"We need an opportunity, an opportunity to ruin Sakumo Hatake. His reputation is too high, his prestige too strong.

I'm sure you both don't want to see Sakumo Hatake become the Fourth Hokage, right?"

Sakumo Hatake may not be part of the inner circle of power, but with the Daimyo's support, he already has enough influence to affect the Hokage selection.

"We will cooperate with you."

After hearing Danzo's plan, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado considered for a moment before agreeing.

Ruin Sakumo Hatake's reputation? That's not a big deal, it's not like they're killing him.

This could be a worthwhile collaboration.

"Then I look forward to a successful partnership."

With his goal achieved, a gleam of excitement flashed in Danzo's eyes.

The position of Hokage is mine, and no one can take it from me!!!

In the dimly lit underground laboratory, Orochimaru was busy. The room was filled with advanced research equipment, and several glass containers housed Orochimaru's

experimental subjects.

Hearing the sound of a cane approaching from behind, Orochimaru didn't even turn around as he asked:

"Did the old man summon you today?"

"I thought you only cared about your research."

Danzo, leaning on his cane, slowly walked into the room.

"No, I care about other things besides research. By the way, I need some tools and

experimental materials. Please prepare them as soon as possible, or my research will come to

a halt. I believe you don't want to see that happen, do you?"

Staring at the specimen on the operating table, Orochimaru's eyes glowed with madness.

How perfect, truly perfect.

Even after all these years, these cells were still active, still dividing, just like cancer cells. Hearing Orochimaru complain again about the lack of tools and materials, Danzo's good mood vanished instantly.

He had already spent significant effort setting up this underground lab, providing all the latest equipment, almost draining his personal resources.

Many of the supplies even came from the support of the Shimura clan.

And now Orochimaru wanted even more advanced equipment. Danzo was in a difficult position.

"Orochimaru, I think you should restrain yourself. Tsunade is currently in control of the logistics department, and without Sarutobi's approval, I can't just take whatever you need from there."

At Danzo's words, Orochimaru paused, turned his head slightly, and smiled:

"That's your problem. I'm only responsible for the research. Everything else has nothing to do with me.

If you're not afraid of delaying your progress, then I don't mind."

The Mist Village played a smart game, but they didn't realize the spoils belong to Takuya personally, not to Konoha.

It doesn't matter if Tsunade is in charge of the negotiations-Takuya wouldn't hand it over, regardless of the village's decision.

Let them deal with it however they want. There's no way I will hand over what's mine.

"If they can't get Samehada back through negotiations, the Mist Village will probably be furious. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen will be reduced to the Six Ninja Swordsmen," Nawaki

joked, already renaming them.

"Hahaha..."

Minato burst out laughing.

Takuya joined in too.

In the future, when the Seven Ninja Swordsmen went on missions and encountered ninjas

from other villages, the enemy would gasp in shock:

"What? The enemies are the Six Ninja Swordsmen?"

Seven Ninja Swordsmen: "..."

"Run! The Six Ninja Swordsmen are coming!"

Seven Ninja Swordsmen: MMP!!

If the Mist Village couldn't get Samehada back through negotiations, they would surely resort

to other methods.

But by then, Takuya's mission would be over, and he'd be back in Konoha.

He didn't believe the Mist Village would dare to come to Konoha to cause trouble and steal

the weapon back.

In the dark underground space, Black Zetsu slithered in.

"Master Madara, the Third Mizukage's emotions are becoming increasingly unstable and

erratic."

"He's just a useless pawn."

Sitting on a stone chair, Uchiha Madara, with his white hair, aged face, and wrinkled skin like

dried bark, showed no concern for the Third Mizukage.

Black Zetsu grinned: "However, if the Third Mizukage continues to lose control, it could become a problem."

"No matter. A pawn is still just a pawn."

Uchiha Madara lifted his head to look at Black Zetsu.

"Have you found a suitable target yet?"
