Side Story: The Chronicles of the Naka Shrine's Sweeping Monk's Crossover 9
Shisui Uchiha was surprised to receive the scroll from Orochimaru's hand. He had actually just been speaking casually, based on a story Kitahara had mentioned before!
He hadn't expected Orochimaru to be so generous!
No wonder Jiraiya and Tsunade were always reluctant to give up on their friend. If anyone had such a generous friend, it's estimated they wouldn't be thinking of cutting ties…
"Go on, what kind of deal do you want?"
Shisui noticed Orochimaru's gaze landing on Sasuke Uchiha, and he frowned. "Don't even think about Sasuke's body. Although he's a disappointing kid, the revival of the Uchiha in this world still needs him to complete it…"
Sasuke Uchiha: "Hey, Shisui, what do you mean by that…"
However, Shisui ignored his protest and continued in a deep voice, "What's more, creating a body suitable for yourself shouldn't be too much trouble for someone like Orochimaru-senpai, right?"
A muscle in Orochimaru's face couldn't help but twitch. He had always believed Sasuke Uchiha was a genius ninja!
Far more outstanding than the other materials he had collected!
As long as he could train Sasuke properly, Sasuke would definitely become strong when he grew up, and with a top-tier Kekkei Genkai like the Sharingan…
How did this kid become a "waste" in Shisui's mouth?
The standard for 'waste' in your world, isn't it a bit too high!
As for creating a suitable body for himself, how could such a thing be possible! Even if Orochimaru believed his technology was at the top of the entire ninja world, he didn't think that such a thing could be achieved!
Creating a body was neither scientific nor ninja-like!
Unless he knew something…
Orochimaru thought it over and over, then said deliberately, "…Shisui-kun, the kind of thing you're talking about shouldn't be possible, right?"
"No, it's very possible."
Shisui chuckled and shook his head. His eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Orochimaru. "Orochimaru-senpai, may I ask if you have heard of an organization called the Akatsuki?"
"…"
This question made Orochimaru's heart tremble. His expression grew uglier. "Could it be that Shisui is also a member of that organization?"
"Of course not."
The Naka Shrine's sweeping monk spread his hands. "That organization only takes in trash. Who would even look at it?"
Orochimaru shook his head gently, trying to defend the organization he had once joined. "As far as I know, that organization is not entirely trash. Itachi Uchiha has also joined that organization…"
This time, it was Shisui's turn for his expression to become a little strange.
He gritted his teeth and sneered, "Heh, it's probably because of that woman, Konan, right!"
Orochimaru: "…"
This Shisui even knows intel about Konan!
In that case, there's no need to even mention the Akatsuki's leader's Rinnegan!
"It really makes me curious. Is there anything that Shisui-kun doesn't know?"
Orochimaru clapped his hands and praised, "Perhaps what Shisui-kun mentioned, creating a body, is really possible…"
"As Lord Danzo's mortal enemy, I am very interested in his past…"
Shisui, his face all smiles, revealed the bloody truth of the Akatsuki, word by word. "Come to think of it, it must be this world's Lord Danzo who orchestrated the Akatsuki into becoming what it is today, right?"
"Those three children from the Hidden Rain Village back then—I shouldn't need to introduce them to Orochimaru-senpai. Later, Lord Danzo killed one of them, plunging them into darkness…"
"The remaining two children, because of this, were determined to establish an evil Akatsuki with the goal of overthrowing the rule of the Five Great Nations. This was precisely Lord Danzo's goal…"
"Hmph!"
Orochimaru quickly cut Shisui off and sneered, "That sounds like it has no basis. I don't believe he has that much ability. Although that old geezer is also the Second's disciple, in my eyes, he is an out-and-out piece of trash!"
"Orochimaru-senpai, you underestimate Lord Danzo's wisdom too much. He's not just trying to seize the power of the Land of Fire; he wants to eliminate the other great nations in one fell swoop!"
"Do you really think Lord Danzo is as simple as just the 'Darkness of Konoha'? No, he is the darkness of the entire ninja world, enveloping it with his meager body!"
"And what I'm saying is not without basis…"
Shisui continued with a serious expression, "I believe Orochimaru-senpai must know that there is a ninja in the Akatsuki named Zetsu, right?"
"I've heard of him. It's said he's in charge of gathering intelligence."
Orochimaru nodded. Then his expression gradually darkened. "You mean to say that that guy Zetsu is a man Danzo planted?"
"Of course…"
Shisui nodded and continued to spin his tale, "In order to be able to control the Akatsuki's intelligence and movements, and to prevent them from getting out of control, Lord Danzo planted Zetsu among them…"
"You say all this…"
Orochimaru's face gradually darkened, his gaze like that of a venomous snake. "Are you trying to tell me that I have been in Danzo's grasp all along?"
"As far as I know, in all of Konoha's ninja archives, there has never been a ninja similar to Zetsu!"
"Shisui-kun, what you're saying has no basis!"
Orochimaru had originally thought Shisui would tell him some rather strange news, but he hadn't expected him to say a pile of intelligence riddled with loopholes!
Is he trying to split up his alliance with Danzo?
He wasn't that stupid!
"There's no file on him in Konoha. Can't such a ninja be created?"
Shisui was completely unconcerned by Orochimaru's attitude. Instead, a look of "all-is-under-control" confidence appeared on his face. "Orochimaru-senpai created a Wood Style ninja back then… How do you know that sometimes certain coincidences won't give birth to new monsters?"
"You!"
Orochimaru's expression was uncertain. He certainly knew the truth about that Wood Style ninja. He had personally presided over the First Hokage's cell experiment!
This Shisui, he even knows my intelligence clearly!
Including my past!
A moment later, the somewhat angry Orochimaru calmed down and said in a deep voice, "You mean to say that that ninja named Zetsu is a monster created by Danzo using the First's cells?"
"That's right…"
Shisui's expression gradually became solemn. "And there isn't just one ninja like Zetsu! They are Danzo's true trump card!"
"Because they are true monsters, and they are completely loyal to Danzo! Not only are they Danzo's source of intelligence, but they are also his source of power!"
"The strongest one possesses a power that surpasses all the past Hokage! It should contain the cells of the First, Second, and Fourth, because it can use any jutsu, Kekkei Genkai, Kekkei Tōta, and even the further Kekkei Mōra!"
After saying all this, and pinning a pile of half-true, half-false pots on Danzo, Shisui's expression changed. He thought of the Zetsu that that crow had never managed to capture…
Orochimaru's voice trembled slightly. "That creature named Zetsu, is that the 'body' you were talking about?"
Shisui pondered and nodded, answering his question, "Their body parts can be transplanted onto anyone without causing a rejection reaction. They have even changed the hyperactivity of the First's cells and can use Wood Style unscrupulously…"
Orochimaru's eyes narrowed, and he raised one last question. "But… why did Danzo still have me use the First's cells to create an arm for him that could use Wood Style and bear the Sharingan?"
"…"
This question was not easy to answer.
Shisui looked at Orochimaru's expression. After a moment of thought, he said in a solemn voice, "This matter involves the Uchiha clan's Kekkei Genkai secrets. Please forgive me for not being able to answer."
"I understand."
Orochimaru extended his hand and chuckled softly. "It seems I should draw up a new plan. Shisui-kun must join in. Perhaps we should cooperate and find a way to kill Danzo…"
Since it involved Uchiha's secrets, Orochimaru didn't dare to press.
And this half-true, half-false way of questioning had, on the contrary, made the highly suspicious Orochimaru choose to temporarily believe what Shisui had said.
The only remaining problem was to find a way to verify it.
If what Shisui said was true, then he had been played like a rat in someone's palm all along…
