Naruto: I'm Nine-Tails and My Host is Kushina

Root's secret base.

Danzo was half-kneeling, while a young man sat on the stone chair before him.

The scarlet vertical pupils belonged to Kurama.

"Lord Kurama, Orochimaru has returned to the village. I mentioned some things about you to him."

Danzo narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Good. You did well, Danzo."

"Thank you, Lord Kurama, for your praise. This is what a true villain should do."

Well... that sudden flattery caught Kurama off guard. He still wasn't used to it.

He had long wanted to meet Orochimaru, one of the Sannin.

Danzo had arranged a meeting between Kurama and Orochimaru at a secret base. That base also served as the experimental facility for Danzo and Orochimaru's joint projects.

Experiments involving the Sharingan, Hashirama cells, and other forbidden research were all conducted here. Of course, the price was a bit steep... for the children.
