Chapter 496: Chapter – 490 Depths of Danzo
"Adamantine Sealing Chains?" – muttered Danzo with a thoughtful expression, then instructed one of the Root subordinates, "Bring the secret scroll of Adamantine Sealing Chains."
"Yes, Danzo-sama!" The Root ninja nodded and hurriedly disappeared from his position.
A few minutes later the Root Shinobi returned back to the laboratory carrying a red scroll case in his hands and respectfully passed it to Danzo.
Danzo directly opened the case and said, "This was left by Mito-sama."
Undoubtedly, Danzo is referring to the wife of the Shodaime Hokage Senju Hashirama, the princess of the Uzumaki Clan, and the first Jinchuriki of Kyuubi, Uzumaki Mito.
Uzumaki Mito was known for incredible her Fuinjutsu Mastery, High Sensory Skills, and special Chakra. In terms of personal strength, she was no inferior to Nidaime Hokage Senju Tobirama, and with the Kyuubi sealed inside her, her strength was definitely superior to Nidaime Hokage. However, she was a devoted wife and not the kind of person who preferred to be in the limelight, coupled with the fact that the strength of Shodaime Hokage was too strong, strong enough to dominate and suppress the entire Shinobi World by only himself that every other person became bleak in his presence, therefore, she isn't too renowned these days.
But Orochimaru who was a disciple of Sandaime Hokage, and a close friend of Senju Tsunade knows the truth and has also explained all these political problems of early Konoha to his disciple Hyuga Kuroto, therefore, Fujin also knows the truth.
After the death of Shodaime Hokage and Nidaime Hokage, and during the time when Sarutobi Hiruzen had just taken the position of Sandaime Hokage, Uzumaki Mito was the backbone of Konoha.
Uzumaki Mito is the true reason why even after the death of Shodaime Hokage and Nidaime Hokage, Konoha did not collapse due to political struggle between various Clans.
Although it is not well known these days, however, when Senju Tobirama selected Sarutobi Hiruzen as his successor to be the Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen wasn't immediately accepted by all the Clans of Konoha, after all, at that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was too young and did not have enough prestige, he may have been the disciple of Shodaime Hokage and Nidaime Hokage, and the next Patriarch of the Sarutobi Clan, however, that still wasn't enough to be accepted by all the Clans. Especially the likes of the Uchiha Clan, the Hyuga Clan, and even the Senju Clan was unwilling to accept Sarutobi Hiruzen as Sandaime Hokage.
The Uchiha Clan wanted Uchiha Kagami another disciple of Nidaime Hokage to be Sandaime Hokage, while the Senju Clan wanted Uzumaki Mito to be Sandaime Hokage. The Hyuga Clan did not have any good candidates for the position of the Hokage, but they preferred Uzumaki Mito over Uchiha Kagami to be Sandaime Hokage.
However, both Uzumaki Mito and Uchiha Kagami refused to take the position, and choose to trust the judgment of Nidaime Hokage, so Uchiha Kagami kept the Uchiha Clan in check, while the rest of the other clans all supported Sarutobi Hiruzen to be Sandaime Hokage because of Uzumaki Mito's prestige.
Thus, Sarutobi Hiruzen managed to successfully become Sandaime Hokage of Konoha while the other disciples of Nidaime Hokage managed to gain the power center of the Village despite being a member of a small Shimura Clan, and the other two being mere civilians.
After Sarutobi Hiruzen successfully took the position of Sandaime Hokage, Uzumaki Mito retreated to her small courtyard and spent the rest of her life there, she rarely ever ventured out and even took her final breath there and died in that small courtyard before passing the Kyuubi to Uzumaki Kushina.
Therefore, even if the younger generation of Konoha may not know Uzumaki Mito very well, however, all three including Shimura Danzo, Orochimaru, and Fujin know about Uzumaki Mito quite deeply, and refer to her in a very respectful manner, because she is indeed a woman worthy of true respect.
All that aside, when Orochimaru saw the scroll, he said with a sly smile, "I did not expect that the Secret Scroll of the Adamantine Sealing Chains is in your hands, no wonder I was unable to find it when I sneaked inside the secret Archive before defecting from Konoha. At that time, I had assumed that perhaps the scroll was in the hands of Uzumaki Kushina, but now it appears that I was wrong."
Danzo glanced at Orochimaru coldly, but choose not to say anything, and unfolded the scroll in front of Fujin and Orochimaru.
Adamantine Sealing Chains is an A-Rank secret Fuinjutsu of the Uzumaki Clan, and it is also one of the best Fuinjutsu to be practiced by a Jinchuriki as it is capable of easily subduing even the like of Kyuubi, the strongest of the nine Bijuu.
In the canon, when masked Obito forcibly summoned the Kyuubi sealed inside Uzumaki Kushina, Kushina who was on the verge of death and incredibly weak used this Fuinjutsu on Kyuubi and managed to successfully restrain the fox.
It must not be forgotten that at that time, she had just given birth to Naruto so her body was incredibly weak, and then even the Kyuubi was forcibly summoned out of her… so it wouldn't be wrong to say that all the oil in her lamp was already dried at that point, yet, she was able to use Adamantine Sealing Chains thanks to her Uzumaki physique and managed to successfully restrain, the strongest of the nine Bijuu. This feat alone shows how effective Adamantine Sealing Chains are.
Therefore, when Danzo unfolded the scroll of Adamantine Sealing Chains, Fujin looked at it with great attention and studied it.
After a while, he withdrew his gaze and thought, 'No wonder only the members of the Uzumaki Clan can use this Fuinjutsu… it turns out that only those with the special chakra/blood of the Uzumaki Clan can use this Fuinjutsu.'
But Fujin wasn't disappointed too much, he has completely memorized the scroll, and when he leaves this place, he will record it in a different scroll and store it. Fujin may not be able to use this Fuinjutsu, however, Karin can learn it.
Different from Fujin, Orochimaru was a little disappointed, and muttered, "A pity."
According to Orochimaru, the Uzumaki Clan has long since disappeared, at present; Uzumaki Nagato, leader of the Akatsuki Organization, and Uzumaki Naruto the current Jinchuriki of Kyuubi are the only members of the Uzumaki Clan left in the Shinobi World.
There's no need to mention Uzumaki Nagato as no way in hell would Danzo dare to go in front of Nagato.
As for Uzumaki Naruto? He is just a 7-year-old child who knows nothing about E-Rank or D-Rank Fuinjutsu much less such a complex A-Rank Fuinjutsu. Obviously, he can not help Danzo keep the Chimera Buds in control.
While Fujin had a thoughtful look under his mask, and Orochimaru had a disappointed expression, Danzo was looking at the scroll of the Adamantine Sealing Chain with a frowned expression. This is not the first time he has read the scroll of Adamantine Sealing Chains and is naturally aware of the requirements of using this Fuinjutsu. So, after a while of thinking, he said in a deep tone, "Maybe the old man can try to learn it."
Fujin glanced at Danzo… but said nothing and chose to remain silent.
On the other hand, Orochimaru had a mocking smirk.
Both of them are very clear about the meaning of Danzo's words. Danzo has implanted the Hashirama Cells which can be regarded as the blood of the Senju Clan, it is well known that the Senju Clan and the Uzumaki Clan were close relatives, and the blood of the Uzumaki Clan also flows within the veins of Senju Clansmen because of intermarriage between the two Clans over several generations.
Therefore, if any clan other than the Uzumaki Clan has the possibility of learning this Fuinjutsu, then it is obviously the Senju Clan, and Danzo who implanted the Hashirama Cells may be able to learn this Fuinjutsu.
Of course, this is just a theoretical possibility. And neither Fujin nor Orochimaru is very optimistic about Danzo being able to use this Fuinjutsu.
This is because to dig out the hidden potential in blood, extreme talent is necessary, and Shimura Danzo clearly does not have such talent. Because if he did, then he wouldn't have to rely on implanting so many Sharingan and Hashirama Cells and finally turn towards the Chimera Jutsu with the hope of improving his strength.
So, even if theoretically Danzo may hold some degree of qualification in learning this Fuinjutsu, Fujin and Orochimaru don't think that he can.
Noting Fujin's silence which stated that he has no opinion on the matter Danzo sighed, but then he noticed Orochimaru's mocking smirk, and he was a little annoyed and said, "If this is not an option, then do you have any other way?"
Fujin and Orochimaru thought a little, then said in unison, "Try other Fuinjutsu."
Danzo was surprised by the tacit understanding between Fujin and Orochimaru, he stared at the two with a suspicious gaze for a while, then sighed and said, "In that case, come with me."
Fujin and Orochimaru nodded, then followed him out of this laboratory, and after walking for a while, the three came to another laboratory which appeared to be a Large-scale incubation room.
As soon as he stepped into the Large-scale incubation room, Futen expression under the Fujin mask turned terrified and he took a deep breath.
The scale of this Incubation Room is extremely large, with rows and rows of Large Incubation Capsules arranged horizontally and vertically. At a mere glance, Fujin could see that hundreds of Large Incubation Tanks and more than 30 researchers were busy in the laboratory.
Not only this but similar to the previous laboratory, this laboratory is also highly advanced, some of the things Fujin has never even seen before. It seems that these are all confidential equipment prohibited from entering the mass market.
Had it not been for the mask on his face, the surprise and greed in Fujin's eyes would have again been noticed by Orochimaru and Danzo, but thankfully he could still maintain his dignity.
Calming himself down, Fujin even began to wonder 'Was Root really disbanded by Sandaime-sama? Because if it was and even then, it still has access to such humongous funds and personnel then Fujin can't even begin to fathom just how deeply has Danzo dug his claws into the Shinobi World.'
At the same time, Fujin also realized that perhaps Sandaime-sama himself doesn't even know the true depths of Shimura Danzo's Root.
But different from Fujin, Orochimaru did not have all that complicated or surprised look. He used and was used by the Root several years ago, therefore, he knows quite deeply about Root.
Danzo did not know about Fujin's thoughts, nor did he care, because in his eyes, an organization as big and secretive as Amatsukami must have its own depths, besides, what they see here is only a part of what Root is truly capable of… as this is just one of the laboratories, there are many other laboratories, some of them are so secretive that aside from himself only a dozen people know about them... And one particular laboratory is only known to him and an extremely loyal researcher named Shigaraki Tanuki… what's being researched there is only known to him and Shigaraki Tanuki.
Anyway, Danzo led Fujin and Orochimaru inside the Incubation Room, and while pointing towards the Large Incubation Capsules in front, he said, "The old man has already tried more than 20 different seals on these Chimera Buds, but the effect is not ideal."
Looking at the Lage Incubation Capsule in front of him Fujin sighed, 'From where does he bring such high funds?'
Fujin's reason for sigh is reasonable because in these hundreds of Large Incubation Capsules Chimera Buds are being cultivated, and many of the Chimera Buds that have already been cultivated have been engraved with Fuinjutsu… which clearly means Danzo has done a lot of experiments in private.
It is important to know that creating and cultivating a Chimera Bud is as expensive as creating a Clone body. And unlike Fujin's case where he seized a lot of these from Shinno, the Chimera Buds created and cultivated by Danzo are all done with his resources.
Aside from solving the technical aspects, the consumption of resources for cultivating hundreds of Chimera Buds at a time is an astronomical figure that Fujin can't even calculate.
And then there is the fact that Danzo says that he has already tried 20 different seals but the result has been a failure, which means that 20 shinobi have been sacrificed by him.
'This is… this is simply cheating!' Fujin wanted to cry tears of blood.
At the same time, he couldn't help but be glad that he chose Shimura Danzo to be his 'Pawn'.
Orochimaru was also surprised, of course, his surprise was not related to Danzo's depths, but something else entirely.
The fact that in just a few days Danzo not only cultivated hundreds of Chimera Buds but even started the experimentation and testing procedure. This clearly indicates something, so glancing at Danzo from the corner of his eyes, Orochimaru sneered, 'Is he so impatient?'
But soon Orochimaru's gaze turned to that of pity or to say to that of sympathy. In Orochimaru's eyes, Shimura Danzo is no longer the man who was the darkness of Konoha, no longer the man who would protect Konoha from Shadows like he used to once, the man has completely changed into a foolish creature who has been caught in the whirlpool of greed for power, paranoia, and madness. And for these things, he is willing to destroy everything… be that morality, humanity, and even his loyalty.

Chapter 497: Chapter – 491 When Great Minds Work Together
After recovering his mind, Fujin observed the results of Danzo's experiments.
Chimera Buds have the characteristics of swallowing flesh and blood and it constantly changes shape and form on its own will. Therefore, maintaining control over the Chimera Buds for a long time is a very difficult task even with the use of Fuinjutsu.
And engraving and activating a seal on Chimera Buds is not that difficult, the difficult part comes afterward, during the ritual process. If the seal on the Chimera Bud is not deactivated during the Ritual, the Chimera Bud will be unable to swallow the Flesh and Blood of others, but if the seal is deactivated, then the seal engraved on the Chimera Bud will start to have defects in it and deteriorate because of the change in shape and form of the Chimera Buds during the expansion and contraction process.
Once these defects and deterioration reach a certain level, the Seal engraved on the Chimera Bud will completely lose its effects and will naturally fail to play the intended role.
And this is clearly evident gore sight in front of Fujin.
The subjects in whom Shimura Danzo's research team implanted the seal-engraved Chimera Buds are floating inside the Large Incubation Capsules, and looking at the gruesome sight before him, Fujin can clearly see that the results were a failure.
The seals must maintain a fixed form and shape, but because the Chimera Buds inside the bodies of the test subjects were constantly deforming that is, changing their shape and form so the seals were unable to maintain their shape as a result the bodies were either mutilated or looked like gruesome beasts… and without exception, all of the test subjects are dead.
'Double Tetragram Seal…'
'Eight Trigram Sealing…'
'Reverse Tetragram Seal…'
'Self-Cursing Seal…'
'Evil Sealing…'
'Five-Pronged Seal…'
Upon further observation of the dead test subjects, Fujin recognized many seals… some of them have been mastered by him, while others have never been seen by him, of course, with his understanding and mastery of Fuinjutsu, Fujin was able to easily analyze all these seals.
And after analyzing all these seals, Fujin had no doubt why these seals did not provide any result, the reason is simple… these are shape-dependent.
Thinking so, 'Even if a seal is Rank-A or higher it would be of no effect in restricting the Chimera Buds… majorly because these seals are shape-dependent… what we need is a sealing Jutsu that is either not shape-dependent or can constantly alter itself…'
In Fujin's understanding, 'Adamantine Sealing Chains', 'Reaper Death Seal', 'Nine Phantom Dragon Seal' and a few other seals fulfill the requirement of restricting the Chimera Buds, however, the person carrying out the ritual must perform the seal in order to constantly restrict the Chimera Buds and to ensure that they don't take over the body, outsiders can not perform it.
Therefore, many of these seals can directly be rejected as Danzo either doesn't have enough qualifications to perform these seals, or he will not choose to perform these seals, or these seals require more than one user to perform.
At this time, Danzo said, "Both of you can also see that the effects of these seals are not satisfactory, it is unable to show a proper restraining effect on the Chimera Buds, and as a result, all the test subjects have died…"
Orochimaru thought a little, then said, "Perhaps we can try to improve the Adamantine Sealing Chains of the Uzumaki Clan to make it suitable for non-Uzumaki Clan members to be able to use it too."
After a while of thinking, Fujin nodded at Orochimaru's suggestion, "We can try it… even if a part of the power of the Adamantine Sealing Chains is sacrificed it would be worth it, after all, what we have to restrain is not the huge Chakra of a Bijuu… but the 'Chimera Buds' so it should be possible."
Improving and changing a high-rank seal while maintaining its sealing power is a bit difficult task because it requires extremely complicated calculations and a lot of experimentation… after all, the seal is improved over several generations to suit the needs of the creator, so it contains generations of research, tests, and analysis to where it stands, how can be improved so easily?
But if part of the sealing power is sacrificed then improving and changing it is not that difficult, so Fujin thinks that it should be possible.
Fujin said again, "And if this still doesn't work, then we can create an all-new Fuinjutsu to suit our requirement… of course, it will consume time, resources, and a few lives to test the suitability of the seal in conjunction with the Chimera Buds during the implant… but once the seal is successfully created, and perfected… one of the major issues will be solved."
Creating a high-rank seal is of course a very difficult task. It generally takes years and several generations to be able to create a perfect seal, but who makes Fujin a Fuinjutsu genius? Although he has never tried creating a new type of seal before, the only reason he didn't try is that it would not consume a lot of time and resources, but also a lot of human lives in the testing process.
The worry is not that humans would die… the worry is that humans who meet the needs have to be searched and then kidnapped… this is a very hassling task, not something Fujin can do alone, so a lot of subordinates are required for this purpose, and that's where Root comes in.
Orochimaru nodded at Fujin's suggestion, then he turned around to face a Large Incubation Capsule in which a Chimera Bud was growing, and said, "The main material of these Chimera Buds is also not good enough. The glue chosen by Hiruko is not stable enough, and as a result, the activity of the Chimera Buds increases severely… maybe we can try to search for more stable material to improve the stability of the Chimera Buds."
Fujin thought about Orochimaru's suggestion while walking towards one of the Large Incubation Capsules in which a dead test subject was floating, and said, "In fact, there is room for improvement in the Process of Cultivation of Chimera Buds.
Before the Chimera Buds began to grow, we can fuse the target subject's cells in it to increase the adaptability and decrease the rejection probability. With this controlling the Chimera Buds that were created to match your own body will become easier."
The process followed by Hiruko is to first cultivate the Chimera Buds to a certain degree, then implant those Chimera Buds in your body and form thereon let the buds develop into full-fledged Chimera that can swallow flesh and blood.
He does not focus on the fusion of cells with the Chimera Buds. Although, this increases the success rate of survival, however, it also leaves behind a hidden danger. Because the Chimera Buds are not fused with the hosts' cells prior, therefore, they become an independent existence that is wild and difficult to tame and can easily take over the body of the lost, much like a Bijuu when a Jinchuriki loses control over his emotions which is incredibly dangerous.
However, if the approach suggested by Fujin is used and cell fusion is done prior, then although the success rate of implant would decrease and the expense of creating a Chimera Bud would increase, however, the hosts will be able to control the Chimera Buds much more easily compared to before.
Orochimaru was indeed impressed by Fujin's idea, and further began to discuss other problems and methods that be used to solve those problems, Fujin wasn't left behind and he was similar to Orochimaru, he too suggested many ideas and possibilities for their success to further improve the Chimera Buds.
Listening to their discussion of one suggesting, the other analyzing its possibility and then further expressing his doubts and helping out clear up the mistakes, then the process would reverse and the discussion continued, while Shimura Danzo and his researchers on the sidelines looked at the two great minds working together with saucer-like eyes, they, who were completely stuck and felt that the experiment has fallen on a dead-end suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment after listening to Fujin and Orochimaru's discussion.
Danzo looked at Fujin and Orochimaru who were still discussing the improvement plan of Chimera Buds, and thought to himself, 'It was right to let them participate in this experiment.'
Shimura Danzo of course did not know that these ideas of improving the Chimera Buds were not brought out on the spot by Fujin and Orochimaru, but have been conceived in their minds for quite a while now.
It's just that both Master and disciple suffer from the lack of personnel and financial resources, therefore, they have not been able to implement these plans.
For example, the choice of glue material to be used for creating the Chimera Buds. Both know that Hiruko is not a fool, since he chose this glue so obviously, he must have his own consideration, but if you want to improve the material, there are various requirements, first, there must exist a better and more stable material in the Shinobi World, perhaps it exists and perhaps it does not exist… but assuming that it exists, then comes the second problem of being able to find it.
And finding is not about just going to a shop and buying all types of possible materials… NO! It's far from it.
Finding is related to searching the material, bringing it back, examining it, creating the Chimera Bud out of it, implanting it inside a test subject (living breathing shinobi), then seeing the result, and finally determining whether it is better or not…
Even if all the experiments in the middle are ignored, finding, transporting, researching, cultivating, capturing shinobi, and implanting again consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and even then, there is no guarantee that it will be a success, so the complete cycle will repeat until a better and more stable material is found.
As for improving the process of cultivation? It is not as easy as one thinks, because it will directly decrease the success rate of survival after the implantation, but the success rate must be determined and improved.
It must not be forgotten that 'probability' is a very magical thing, once it decreases, then the methods of increasing this probability is a very difficult task as it requires in-depth experimentation and sacrifice of human life.
The consumption of materialistic resources and human lives could increase up to ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times, and ten thousand times.
So, all these suggestions of Orochimaru and Fujin belong to the category that they should not be tried, but if tried then they are simply bottomless pits that would keep consuming funds and human lives until a suitable result appears.
Fujin and Orochimaru just want to use Danzo's financial and personnel resources to try their previous ideas that they couldn't put into practice, because both understand that these ideas would consume at least a few billion Ryo as well as hundreds if not thousands of human lives.
…
While Fujin and Orochimaru are busy exploiting Shimura Danzo's power, the scene changes to somewhere outside Konohagakure.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh
With the sound of breaking through the wind, one after another several figures landed in a forest zone.
These figures are all dressed as Konoha Anbu. If Fujin was here, he will definitely recognize that the leader of these Anbu is none other than the Captain of Sandaime Hokage's Guards.
After looking around for a while, and receiving reports from his subordinates that everything was in order, the Captain of the Hokage Guards released a particular smoke and said to seemingly no one, "He's here."
Following his words, a stream of light appeared across the forest and one by one many figures emerged out of the state of invisibility. The forest that seemed completely empty only a while ago was filled with a dozen figures in the blink of an eye. These figures, without exception, were all dressed in the Shinobi Gear of Iwagakure.
The leader of this group of Iwagakure Shinobi was a short and bald old man with few white hairs, a white mustache white beard, and a big red nose. The identity of this short old is none other than the Sandaime Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, Onoki of Both Scales.
Onoki, who was floating in mid-air with both hands behind his back, along with three elite Jonin of Iwagakure slowly landed on the ground.
The captain of the Hokage Guard came forward and bowed to Onoki, and said, "Tsuchikage-dono, I am the captain of Hokage-sama's guard, we of Konoha are here to escort Tsuchikage-dono's entourage to Konoha."
Onoki nodded lightly, then questioned, "Have the other Kage arrived?"
The captain of the Hokage Guard nodded respectfully, "Yes Tsuchikage-dono, the other three Kage, including the Godaime Kazekage Pakura-sama, Yondaime Raikage Ay-sama, and Yondaime Mizukage Yagura-sama have all arrived safely."
Onoki nodded, then slapped the back of his head and said with a depressed expression, "Sigh, who would have thought that a time would come when the Gokage would meet in such secrecy… it's really inconceivable."
Hokage Guards and the others also sighed, then under the leadership of the captain of the Hokage Guard, Sandaime Tsuchikage and his entourage bypassed the Konoha's Patrol and using a newly created secret route they secretly entered the same secret base in Konoha that the Kazekage, Raikage, and Mizukage have been using for the past few days.
