In short, Hatake Satoru made this decision after considering various situations.
Although it's best for the Akatsuki group to stay hidden, there are situations where it's not the best choice.
The question is whether to hide him or expose him.
After all, the longer he's hidden, the worse the situation will be when he's found. It's not that it can't be explained, but it will be somewhat troublesome.
Hatake Satoru had inspected the research department before this. It was originally staffed by people from Sunagakure and Konoha, as well as some doctors that Hatake Satoru had found.
Simply put, after spending these years together, this group of people is now completely mixed up.
People are working in the areas they're good at, so things have become completely disorganized.
People from Sunagakure and Konoha are mixed together, and any adjustments to the positions would definitely cause some problems.
So Hatake Satoru thought for a while and decided to keep everyone's current work assignments.
It would be too much trouble to separate people by their areas of expertise, and it would easily expose Hidan's existence.
Even if they don't want to admit it, Hidan's existence is really too noticeable.
Anyone should be able to sense him.
Moreover, Hidan's immortality would probably attract a lot of criticism, and it would be embarrassing if word got out.
After releasing the hawk, Hatake Satoru went out for a stroll. After all, it's boring to always stay underground, and it gets a little stuffy.
The researchers down there might be used to it, since they're always working overtime down there. But Hatake Satoru is the type who needs to go out and get some fresh air regularly.
Sasori seemed to be thinking about something, or maybe he was just convinced by Hatake Satoru. He didn't say much and went back underground.
After receiving the letter, Kakashi felt a little sorry for Shikamaru, but he still went to explain the situation to Tsunade as soon as possible.
To avoid unnecessary conflict and losses.
Even though Hatake Satoru's actions were rash, there was no other solution at the moment.
In the Hokage's office, Tsunade stood with her back to the window, unfolding the letter on the desk.
To be honest, since Hatake Satoru went to Sunagakure, he had almost disappeared. No one heard from him.
Even the usual Chunin Exams, Hatake Satoru didn't participate in at all.
But when she sent him there, she had pretty much expected this possibility.
Her previous experiences with Hatake Satoru made her feel that he was a little different.
And after he went there, he built that research lab, which further strengthened the connection between Sunagakure and Konoha.
Although she didn't know what Hatake Satoru was up to, his intentions were clearly good, so there was no need to worry about him.
"So, that person that day was really him?"
Tsunade placed the letter on the desk, resting her chin on her hands, which were folded together. She asked with a serious expression.
Kakashi looked a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and gave a helpless smile.
"Well... he already admitted it, didn't he?"
Didn't Hatake Satoru write it in the letter?
There's no need to ask him about something that's obvious. It's such a pain.
Even when Hatake Satoru isn't in Konoha, trouble will definitely follow him.
Kakashi couldn't help but sigh deeply. He's really a troublesome guy.
Tsunade wanted to criticize Hatake Satoru, but Hatake Satoru had done a lot of good things before. And this matter isn't really a bad thing, it might just be a little upsetting for Shikamaru.
"Even if he wants to use that guy for research, he should get our approval, right? He just snatched him away. I thought some new force was emerging..."
Tsunade's voice gradually faded. She had been worried these past few days that a new group was about to appear.
The Akatsuki problem had just died down, and now there's another one.
But when she heard that it was one of their own causing trouble, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although it's a bit much, it's still a good thing that it turned out to be good news instead of bad.
"He was worried that Shikamaru wouldn't allow it, especially since that forest is the Nara clan's private forest, and he was worried that they wouldn't be able to reach an agreement, so he did it this way."
Kakashi explained briefly. Although it doesn't seem reasonable at first, it's actually the best solution when you think about it.
Kakashi wouldn't do something like that himself, but if he put himself in Hatake Satoru's shoes, he could understand it immediately.
Tsunade naturally understood what Kakashi understood, so she didn't necessarily have to criticize him. She just fell into thought.
If they asked Shikamaru, they might not be able to convince him. Shikamaru isn't the easy-to-fool kid he used to be. With his current intelligence and thinking ability, they might not be able to get Hidan's head.
Shikamaru might not even necessarily try to stop them. He could just stall for time, and after a while, Hidan would naturally die. Then, digging him up would be useless.
In a way, Hatake Satoru chose the best option, but it depends on whether people can accept it.
"Using Hidan's immortality to test drugs and improve equipment, to avoid the losses caused by human experiments."
From this point of view, Hatake Satoru is also sacrificing one person to benefit millions.
The further you go in medicine, the more you realize this.
Tsunade is a highly skilled medical ninja, so she might not care about this kind of thing too much.
But with drugs and regular medical care, if you make medical care more common, human experiments will be inevitable.
Orochimaru needs to test, and medicine also needs to test, but more often than not, medical ninjutsu will choose to treat the symptoms rather than actively attack.
So there will be some differences between the two, since careful treatment won't kill people.
But when using new technologies, problems are unavoidable.
Hatake Satoru puts this kind of thing on Hidan alone, which is a very good situation.
If Hidan dies during drug or equipment testing, it would be like getting rid of a rogue ninja.
Kakashi's legs were getting a little numb. Tsunade didn't ask him any more questions, but she didn't let him leave either. He could only stand there awkwardly.
Just as Kakashi was about to start daydreaming, Tsunade finally spoke.
"Okay, I approve of this matter being carried out in secret, but it can't be brought out into the open."
"And don't tell Shikamaru."
