Naruto God Tree Arrives

"You're really not going to kill me to silence me?" Sarutobi asked as he looked at the tree suspiciously.

"Teacher, do you think it's necessary for me to lie to you at this time?" Shengshu asked without changing his expression.

"That's right, with your current strength, if you really want to take action, I am no match for you." Sarutobi heard this and smiled sarcastically: "But if you don't kill me, how are you going to solve this matter?

Do you expect me to turn a blind eye to this matter?

I can tell you, this is absolutely impossible.”

"Teacher, there are some misunderstandings here. I hope you can listen to my explanation." Shen Shu said with a wry smile.

"Misunderstanding." Sarutobi pointed at the petri dishes around the laboratory angrily and said, "Look at the evil you have done. You actually have the nerve to say there is a misunderstanding."

Naoki, do you think that you are full-fledged and will inherit the position of Hokage, so you are confident?

I will never allow this kind of inhumane evil experiment to exist in Konoha. Even at the risk of civil strife in Konoha, I will make you and Orochimaru pay the price for your heinous crimes.

Unless you kill me now, I will definitely pursue this matter to the end."

"Ka!" At this moment, a fluffy palm stretched out from the Ruyi stick and grabbed Shengshu's wrist.

This palm is the claw of the monkey demon that transformed into a wishful stick. The monkey demon has a body of diamond, and its claws are as sharp as blades and powerful.

The rope tree was not sure of catching this sudden blow, so he had to loosen his right hand holding the stick.

Sarutobi took advantage of the situation and retracted the wishful stick to protect his whole body, then stared at the rope tree and said: "Come on, let me see how far your strength is."

"Hahaha, Mr. Roden, it seems that the old man is forcing us to kill him." Orochimaru said with a smile: "I think his idea is good. If you really can't do it, you can also use the curse seal to keep your "forest" secret." The effect of "will" is much stronger than Danzo's "tongue eradication".

Sarutobi's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he looked at the rope tree with guarded eyes. At the same time, he made up his mind that if something went wrong, he would not be captured alive even if he took matters into his own hands. He would never allow himself to become a puppet on a string.

"Orochimaru, shut up!" Naoki hurriedly turned his head to stop Orochimaru.

Naoki glared at Orochimaru fiercely. This is really a pig teammate. Even if you think about it, you don’t have to say it.

Orochimaru saw the look in Naoki's eyes and realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, so he honestly closed his mouth.

After sensing Sarutobi's emotional changes, Naoki secretly screamed in his heart. Now that Sarutobi was wary, his backup plan became more difficult.

Once the action is taken, the variables are even greater, so we can only get to the point as soon as possible. Naoki hurriedly opened his mouth and was about to take action first. Sarutobi said: "Teacher, wait a moment, please be patient and listen to my explanation. If the teacher still thinks we are guilty after listening, the students will definitely Just surrender and let the teacher do whatever you want without complaining."

Sarutobi was a little hesitant when he heard this. He hoped that things would really turn around, but he was also afraid of Naoki's tricks.

"Hokage-sama, Naoki-sensei has always been honest about this matter without any cover-up. I think there may be a hidden secret in this matter. We might as well listen to it to avoid any misunderstanding."

The speaker was Kakashi in the corridor. As a disciple of the rope tree, he did not want to believe or hope that his teacher was an evil person.

The evil and cruel mastermind.

After hearing Kakashi's persuasion, Sarutobi thought that the attitude of the rope tree was very sincere, and he couldn't help but feel soft in his heart. He thrust the stick in his hand on the ground, then leaned on the stick with one hand, looked at the rope tree and said, "Tell me what you want." I have been eloquent since I was a child, but I want to see how you explain this time."

Seeing Sarutobi's reaction, Naoki finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and said respectfully: "Thank you, teacher, for giving the student a chance to explain.

I know that in the eyes of the teacher, everything in this laboratory is full of evil and cruelty, but some things cannot just be seen on the surface. You need to understand the essence to make a correct judgment.

For example, the true origins of these experimental products.”

"Essentially," Sarutobi said with a sneer: "No matter what the origins of these mutilated people are, it cannot change the fact that these experiments are inhumane, especially these innocent infants and young children. This kind of thing cannot be accepted by anyone with a conscience."

"Yes, infants and young children are the purest. Using them for human experiments does violate the bottom line of human nature." Naoki nodded and acknowledged Sarutobi's point of view, and then asked, "But if these experimental products are not real Where are the humans?”

"Not a real human being." Sarutobi repeated the words of a rope tree with some surprise, and then asked: "What do you mean?"

Shengshu didn't answer but asked: "Teacher, have you ever heard of cloning technology?"

"clone"

Affected by the educational reform, Konoha has begun to popularize knowledge among ordinary people, and Sarutobi, as the Hokage, still has a basic concept of the biological term "cloning".

Sarutobi glanced at the test objects in the petri dish with a look of surprise on his face, and asked in a puzzled tone: "You mean, these are all"

"That's right," Nao Shu nodded with certainty: "Actually, these experimental products are all artificial clones and not real humans. If you look closely, you will find that these experimental products are all from the same mother body."

After Sarutobi, Kakashi, and Yamato received the prompt, they carefully observed the strange creatures in the petri dish and found that the appearance of all the experimental subjects was indeed very similar. They already believed [-]% of the rope tree's words.

"But even if it's human cloning, this kind of experiment is too cruel.

Moreover, human cloning itself has huge ethical and moral issues.

You actually secretly created so many clones."

After Sarutobi recovered from the shock of the clone, he still frowned and asked Naoki, but his tone was softened and not as harsh as before.

Naoki keenly sensed Sarutobi's emotional changes, and he had a secret idea in his mind, so he continued to say: "This involves the essence of life. All life is composed of soul and body.

If a life only has a human body but no human soul, is it still a human being?"

"This" Sarutobi was stopped by Naoki's question. After hesitating for a while, he answered uncertainly: "It probably doesn't count."

Shen Shu chose without smiling and said: "My point of view is the same as the teacher's. After losing the soul, it is just a body. How can it be regarded as a human being?"

so"

"Wait a minute," Sarutobi interrupted with a vigilant look on his face: "Don't confuse the concepts. Even clones should have souls."
