Naruto: Immortal Spirit

When the five experimental subjects No. 30 turned into wooden blocks, Kato Ou probably knew that this experiment would not last long.

Although there was nothing special for the time being, he could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the roots had become tense. Faintly from the emotions of these root ninjas, he could detect a kind of excitement with a bit of heaviness.

It seemed that they already knew something important was about to happen.

Kato Oo has already finished learning the basics of sealing techniques.

It took about five months.

"Squeak..."

The door to the research room opened quietly, and Kato Ou silently sat in front of the analyzer and looked at the data of all the remaining experimental subjects without looking back.

The person who came in was not Orochimaru...

"No, the experiment is terminated! Leave here immediately, Lord Danzo will summon you!"

Kato Oo, the root ninja wearing a ghost face, didn't recognize him, but the breath behind him made Kato Oo feel somewhat familiar.

He thought of the girl he had met during the genin exams a few years ago.

"Ding Wu...it's been a long time since we last met..."

"Yes!"

Kato Ou replied in a low voice, his eyes sweeping around the research room, and he seemed to have some understanding of the fate of these experimental subjects.

"Sir! I don't know what to do with these experimental subjects..."

"Ok?"

Only two eyes of the root ninja of Ghost Face were exposed. Kato O looked at his eyes, and a murderous aura was projected from these eyes.

"Does being a disciple of Orochimaru mean that you can break the rules?"

The ghost-faced ninja was extremely fast, and with one hand, it came straight towards Kato O's neck.

"Oh!"

He quickly put his hands in front of his throat, and Kato Oo's whole body turned into a ball of smoke and disappeared.

"Oh? I still have some skills..."

The ghost-faced ninja's eyes flickered, and he suddenly moved quickly in one direction. He whipped his legs with force and force, bringing with it the sound of whistling wind.

"go……"

Kato Ou covered it with his hand and moved his mouth slightly, and a special Senbon, as thin as an ox hair, pierced the nerve of the ninja's leg.

The ghost-faced ninja faintly felt something strange moving in his legs, but his legs had already kicked Kato Oo's chest.

"Hmph, kid, if you haven't learned the basic rules, let me teach you..."

Kato Oo's body hit the wall of the research room. He couldn't help but groaned and lowered his head silently.

"I'm not talking too much..."

"Didn't you understand what I said...Leave immediately, Lord Danzo will summon you!"

After regaining some face, the Ghost-Faced Ninja made no further moves, but glanced at Kato Oo condescendingly.

"Yes!"

Kato Ou raised his head, and he could feel that Ding Wu was also watching him. Weiwei and Ding Wu looked at each other, and he walked out of the laboratory holding his chest.

Walking slowly in the corridor, he only heard the sound of broken glass and screams behind him. Kato Ou straightened out his wrinkled clothes, and there was no trace of injury.

"Eight...nine...ten..."

There was a continuous sound behind him, and Kato Oo, who was silently counting the time, finally pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth.

"The solidified fusion fluid wraps the cells between the pillars, and will fuse with the blood within ten seconds after entering the body..."

"If the fusion fluid is exhausted, the pillar cells will be activated..."

"It's really a luxury to use precious Hashirama cells to do this kind of thing..."

"However, you should also taste their pain..."

Without the suppression of Senjutsu Chakra, Hashirama's cells would be like a hopeless poison to ordinary people, unless a miracle occurs.

"Roots, let's turn them into roots..."

……

The dim firelight flickered in and out of the damp underground space, as if it was suffocating in the darkness.

Kato Ou gently opened the door, and the space seemed to be filled with icy cold air. This gloomy old man was as gloomy as he was a few years ago.

"Gennin, I haven't seen the leader yet!"

Half-kneeling on the ground, Kato Oo lowered his head.

"I heard that you have accepted Orochimaru as your disciple?" Danzo's face full of grooves showed no expression, as if the sound of iron paper rubbing against each other came faintly from the endless darkness.

"Yes!"

"very good……"

Danzo's voice made Kato Ou unable to hear any emotion or anger.

"One of the root rules..."

"In all matters, the leader's orders must come first, and we will swear allegiance to the leader to the death!"

"Second..."

"The so-called "roots" have no names, no surnames, no emotions, no future, and no past. Throughout their lives, they are deeply rooted in the earth and swear to support the prosperity of the Konoha tree!"

"The third..."

“To prevent future generations from suffering the unspeakable disaster of war, follow the leader’s instructions.

In order to promote great peace in the ninja world, the leader's orders must be the core of leading Konoha. "

"Very good, Wei. It seems that after following Orochimaru for several years, you haven't forgotten your roots and that I am your leader..."

"Wei, never dare to forget!"

Danzo then slowly turned around and looked directly at Kato Oo, as if two ice picks were piercing Kato Oo's body.

"Why did the Mudun fusion experiment fail?"

"The subordinate is incompetent. The body and willpower of the experimental subject cannot support the integration of the wood escape cells..."

"Humph, does Orochimaru have something to hide? As Orochimaru's disciple, you shouldn't know it..."

Kato Ou knew that Danzo couldn't be fooled so easily. After paying such a price, but without any results, someone must be responsible for this.

But in Danzo's eyes, he is just a minion and will not be his target at all. This is just a test.

"Subordinate...I don't know..."

Danzo's fierce aura struck Kato Oo, and he lowered his head, thinking about countermeasures.

"My subordinates... think... that Orochimaru did not intend to accept his subordinates as his disciples. Since he knows that his subordinates are the people of his roots, he still insists on accepting his subordinates as his disciples. This is unreasonable in itself..."

Kato Ou stopped talking. Sometimes you just need to give others a reason to doubt. With Danzo's arbitrary behavior, it is impossible for him to listen to Kato Oo's words. Only what he thinks about himself will be the truth he feels.

"Um……"

Danzo was indeed lost in thought, and Kato Ou felt relaxed all over. It seemed that he had finally passed this level.

Kato Ou didn't know what Danzo was thinking, but he remained silent for a long time. He half-knelt on the ground and didn't move at all.

In the entire underground space, there was only the faint sound of air passing by.

"Let's leave this matter aside for now. If Orochimaru does anything unusual, come and report it immediately..."

"Wei, you are Wei at the root, you must always remember..."

Although Danzo's voice was gloomy, it completely relieved Kato Oo.

He also changed his mind towards Danzo. It seemed that Danzo was not so omnipotent in Konoha.

"Since Orochimaru has accepted you as his disciple, your identity is just right..."

"Your identity in Konoha will be restored. There is an important thing for you to do next. Wei, you won't let me down, right..."

Kato Ou raised his head, burying his surprise deep in his heart, his eyes were like an ancient well, and he responded in a muffled voice.

"My subordinates will definitely not disappoint Danzo-sama!"
