Chapter 16 Little Red Bean
Walking out of the Hokage's office alone, Kakashi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As he expected, it was impossible for the higher-ups to object to this plan to increase the success rate and reduce deaths.
This meeting was just a formality.
However, after everyone reached a consensus, Danzo directly issued a root invitation to Kakashi.
Fortunately, Sister Tsunade rejected Kakashi on the spot because he was the candidate for the next director of Konoha Hospital.
Otherwise it would really be a big trouble.
As for why he left at the end, it was because after the meeting, Sandai left him alone and talked to him amiably about how he was optimistic about his development, how he was going to focus on cultivating talents with him, and how he was late but arrived. of will.
Shaking his head, he dispelled the words lingering in his ears.
After Kakashi bought glutinous rice balls and red bean paste on the way, he returned to the laboratory again.
Although human experiments have been suspended, he is still prepared to continue experiments on first-generation cells.
Perhaps Tsunade's original words had an effect.
In addition to the necessary assistant work, Orochimaru gave him a lot of freedom during the rest of the time, and even precious materials like first-generation cells could be used for experiments.
With such good treatment, Kakashi was very wary at first, fearing that Orochimaru would lust after him and have evil intentions.
However, after everything went smoothly, he slowly let down his guard and no longer concealed his interest in the first-generation cells.
He had also speculated on the reason why Orochimaru treated him so favorably.
Maybe it was Naoki's death that made him feel indebted to Tsunade?
After retracting his divergent thoughts, he handed Mitarai Anko the glutinous rice balls and red bean paste in his hand. Regardless of the little Anko's surprise, Kakashi focused on the experiment.
In fact, even Orochimaru didn't know that the real reason why Kakashi was interested in the first-generation cells was the immortal body.
As for Wood Release, it can be considered an accessory at most.
The top brass of Konoha are still dreaming about Konoha returning to its peak with the Wood Release.
But Kakashi knew clearly that Mu Dun was strong because of the first generation.
As the saying goes, the first generation of Mu Dun conquered the world, and the Yamato Mu Dun was engaged in greening, which can be seen.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that whether it is suppressing tailed beasts or absorbing chakra, the power of the first generation of wood escape and the sacred tree are highly overlapped. This kind of ability is simply impossible to achieve by relying solely on the so-called fusion of water and earth. !
Therefore, if Kakashi, who is not the reincarnation of Asura, wants to achieve such a heaven-defying effect, he can only find a way to obtain the body of the first-generation sage. This is also the core purpose of Kakashi's participation in the wood escape experiment.
"Dingling bell~"
I don't know how long it took, but Kakashi was interrupted by the alarm he set.
He had to go to Konoha Hospital for class in an hour. He touched his hungry belly and prepared to go to Ichiraku Ramen first.
"Um, thank you for buying me something to eat."
Kakashi raised his head in surprise when he heard this, and saw Little Anko coquettishly thanking him.
Tsk, it turns out that Wanzi is Anko’s true love!
He clearly remembered that since his arrival, Xiao Anko, who was in danger of falling out of favor because of Orochimaru's preference, had given him a lot of looks, but now it was solved with a meal of meatballs.
Kakashi was amused in his heart, and glanced at her calmly: "Just thank you?"
Xiao Hongdou stood there with his head lowered, holding the organized experimental documents tightly in front of him with both hands.
She pursed her lips and asked: "Then what do you want...I, I have no money!"
"Can you afford Ichiraku Ramen?" Kakashi asked.
"Ah?" Hongdou was confused for a while.
"I treated you to glutinous rice balls and red bean paste. Isn't it too much to treat you to a meal in return?"
Xiao Hongdou understood.
She was just about to agree, but she couldn't help but think that this guy wouldn't be very good at eating. What if her pocket money was not enough?
After thinking for a moment, she nodded and said: "Okay... But I have to deliver the things to Lord Orochimaru first. Don't worry, I won't default on the payment! Otherwise, you go with me... "
"Okay, I believe you, I'll wait for you at Ichiraku Ramen."
"Okay, then you wait for me for twenty minutes."
The two parted at the door of the laboratory. Kakashi looked at her running away, smiled and shook his head. Could this be considered satisfying the evil taste in his heart?
Kakashi first came to Ichiraku Ramen and sat down, chatting with Airi who was helping in the shop.
In less than twenty minutes, I saw a petite figure running in panting at the door.
"Here." Kakashi waved his hand.
Seeing Kakashi in the seat inside looking at her, Little Anko calmed down her breath, then walked straight over and sat next to him.
"this is for you."
Kakashi handed the red bean smoothie that he had ordered in advance to Xiao Anko. Seeing her confused expression, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I was just teasing you, I'll treat you to this meal."
"Ah?" Xiao Hongdou was a little embarrassed when he heard this.
"Didn't you say you don't have much money? Why, you don't want to?" Kakashi then teased.
"No, no, but..." Xiao Hongdou waved her hands hurriedly.
"Okay, okay, we are companions now, so we don't need to be so polite to each other. I would like to ask you to take more care of me in the laboratory from now on!"
Kakashi's eyes curved into crescent moons.
"Don't worry about this!"
When Xiao Hongdou heard this, she immediately puffed up her chest and patted it with a loyal expression.
"Xinxi, uncle Ichiraku, please have two bowls of miso ramen. One of them should not be spicy."
Kakashi raised his hand to Uncle Ichiraku.
"Hey, how do you know I don't like spicy food?"
"Haha, it's a secret."
"Tch, if you don't want to say it, forget it."
Anko curled her lips, but when she scooped up a spoonful of smoothie and put it in her mouth, she immediately put the problem behind her.
Kakashi looked at the little Anko with a look of enjoyment, and his heart moved slightly.
In the original work, Anko, who was also a disciple of the Sannin, was originally on the same starting line as Minato. Although his talent was far inferior, he was still able to develop well in the village.
But the moment Orochimaru defected, her sky completely collapsed.
Alone since she was a child, she was raised by Orochimaru. Not only did she suffer a fatal emotional blow, her future also plummeted because she was labeled as a direct line of rebellious ninja.
And Anko, who lost everything, practiced with the intention of dying together with Orochimaru. Such a love-hate entanglement can't help but make people sigh.
"By the way, Kakashi, I heard that you are Tsunade-sama's disciple. Why do you want to be my master's assistant?"
After Xiao Hongdou happily ate the smoothie, she finally couldn't hold back her curiosity.
"Because Lord Orochimaru is a very powerful scientist. If I can combine the medical skills I learned from Sister Tsunade with the scientific research results I learned from Lord Orochimaru, I may be able to find a way to reduce casualties in the war. method."
"Can it still be like this?" Anko listened blankly. She didn't expect that Kakashi, who is similar to her own age, was already thinking about such a complicated matter. "Then I hope you can succeed!"
"Haha," looking at Little Anko with a serious look on her face, Kakashi couldn't help but rub her head: "Then I'll lend you some good words."
"Oh, don't touch my head, my hair is messed up!"
"It's okay, no one will see it anyway."
"Humph!"
