Chapter 110:
Hearing Danzo's words, Orochimaru was momentarily silent.
He understood this was how Danzo operated within Root. As a Root ninja, one was expected to have no name, no future, no emotions—only missions.
Emotions were considered burdens, stumbling blocks on the path to success.
But was having emotions really such a wrong path?
Orochimaru smiled faintly. "Don't worry, sir. Research always comes first for me."
"Good, good. Don't become like Hiruzen, indecisive and unfit to be Hokage at all!" Danzo's voice held disdain as he mentioned Sarutobi yet again.
It seemed like every conversation with Danzo inevitably led back to Hiruzen. At this point, he sounded like a bitter old woman, obsessively wishing for Hiruzen to step down so he could take the Hokage seat himself.
Only Danzo knew what it felt like to harbor great ambitions but lack the opportunity to realize them.
"Where's Nono?" Orochimaru was in no mood to entertain Danzo's grievances any longer.
