Konoha: The New Will of Fire

A research base dozens of kilometers away from Konoha.

Qianqiao opened the barrier seal at the entrance, led Orochimaru and Shisui inside, and introduced the base along the way.

Under the construction of Gan Qiao, the entire base is no longer as crude as when it was first established. Gan Qiao purchased a lot of things and built several different laboratories.

All in all, given its capabilities, Qianqiao's research base is definitely a first-class research base, with all kinds of facilities and instruments available.

Shisui and Orochimaru looked around curiously while listening to Gan Qiao's introduction.

"I didn't expect that Senior Qianqiao would build such a large research base outside the village."

Shisui gurgled secretly.

For a long time, Shisui thought he knew Senior Qianqiao very well, but now he suddenly discovered that he still didn't know many things about Senior Qianqiao.

Sure enough, a person like Senior Qianqiao who has inherited the true will of fire cannot be seen through by a weak person like him.

He still has a lot to learn from senior Qian Qiao.

Orochimaru's heart is not as complex as Shisui's. He is only curious. As the saying goes, laymen only see the excitement, while experts see the secrets. Shisui, a layman, only sees the excitement, but Orochimaru sees the secrets.

How big is this experimental base, what laboratories are there, and what instruments are there? Orochimaru took a brief look at it and roughly guessed the content of the experiments conducted by Qian Qiao.

Because of this, Orochimaru was particularly curious about the extent of Gan Qiao's research.

Qianqiao, Orochimaru and Shisui, stopped in front of a large door, turned around and introduced: "What you just saw are just appetizers, behind this door is the real research."

After saying that, Gan Qiao formed a seal with one hand, unlocked the sealing barrier on the door, and slowly pushed the wooden door open amidst the squeaking sound of the door bolt.

As soon as Orochimaru entered the room, he quickly and seriously glanced around, with an obvious look of surprise on his face.

Shisui also quickly scanned around, but for the idiot who was researching cells, Shisui couldn't see anything special.

But Orochimaru was different. He could see at a glance how advanced Ganqiao's research was, the clones soaked in nutrient solution, and the mutated human body...

These studies are all topics that Orochimaru is conducting.

But Qian Qiao was already walking in front of him.

This made Orochimaru feel shocked and unbelievable.

Gan Qiao is not only a ninja genius, but also a scientific research genius.

What kind of talent is this?

Orochimaru is arrogant and arrogant... let alone Tsunade and Jiraiya who are both Sannin, even the Sandaime, he doesn't look down on.

In Orochimaru's heart, no matter whether it is the third generation or the first generation, their power is only temporary.

Just a few decades passed, and in the end, it was just a handful of ashes!

Only eternity is the truth.

He always thought that Orochimaru was like a lonely wild wolf, pursuing the flame of truth in the wind and snow where he could not tell the direction, but today, he found a similar person.

While this shocked Orochimaru, he couldn't help but feel excited and excited.

No one wants to be lonely, and the same is true for Orochimaru. The reason why he is lonely is that he can't find similar people around him.

Whether it is Jiraiya and Tsunade who grew up, or the third generation old man who taught him since childhood, he is not the same type of person as them.

"Gan Qiao, how did you make these clones?"

"According to the extracted genes, the clones here are all from Hashirama cells..."

Next it is time for scientists to discuss.

Shisui listened for a while, feeling like he was listening to a book from heaven. He couldn't understand anything at all, so he stopped listening and focused on the objects in the nutrient solution.

In order to synthesize new substances, Qianqiao collected many various plants and organisms... Therefore, Shisui was very fascinated by it, and he had never seen many things before.

Suddenly, Shisui was startled, dumbfounded, and shouted subconsciously.

"Blind eyes!"

This shout also alerted Orochimaru and Ganqiao who were talking. The two stopped talking and their eyes fell on Shisui at the same time.

Seeing the glass jar in front of Shisui, Orochimaru's eyes suddenly tightened.

Of course, Orochimaru was not interested in the glass jar. What interested Orochimaru was the contents inside the glass jar.

One white eye was quietly suspended in the pale yellow nutrient solution.

When Shisui saw Byakugan, he was startled and his eyebrows stood up.

"Senior Qianqiao, is the Hyuga Mirror in your hand?"

Shisui reacted and couldn't help but ask.

If you want to get the Byakugan intact, you can only capture someone from the clan. The only clan member of the Hyuga clan who was captured was Hyuga Kagami.

That day, Team [-] was operating with the Hyuga clan, so Shisui knew it very well.

Everyone thought Kirigakure had taken it, but they didn't expect that the Byakugan would end up in the hands of senior Gan Qiao.

Orochimaru, as a former high-ranking official of Konoha, knew more than Shisui. Konoha had discussed the issue of Byakugan with Kirigakure many times.

Including when it came to the peace treaty of the Third World War, the two sides argued about this issue for a long time. Kirigakure kept saying that he would not take it. In the end, there was no way. The third generation deleted this point and the peace treaty was signed.

However, everyone believed that Kirigakure didn't have it, but just didn't want to hand it over. Even Orochimaru thought so.

Now it seems that Kirigakure really didn't take it, and Konoha has wronged the Five Shadows.

Orochimaru withdrew his gaze from his Byakugan, looked at Qianqiao, and asked, "Do you have another identity?"

Qian Qiao glanced at Orochimaru and thought that he was indeed Orochimaru. With just a roll of his eyes, he instantly guessed that he had other hidden identities.

"That's right".

Qian Qiao spread his hands and said, "I am the bounty hunter 'Zolo'."

I'm not pretending, it's a showdown!

boom!

It was like a thunderclap.

There was a deathly silence in the room.

Shisui's eyes widened, and his mouth was open enough to hold a salted duck egg. Orochimaru next to him was not much better, and he was dumbfounded.

Orochimaru originally thought that Qianqiao was hiding his identity, but it was just an identity that was not easy to reveal. Unexpectedly, Qianqiao turned out to be the bounty hunter 'Zolo'.

In recent times, he is the most famous and most popular ninja.

In terms of topicality, it once surpassed the five figures.

By killing the so-called demigod Hanzo, he quickly broke out of the circle, and then fought against the Third Hokage of Konoha, with no winner or loser.

The whole world is wondering who 'Zolo' is?

Are they the powerful men of the older generation who have disappeared?Or is it a hidden weapon for town and village in which village?Or maybe it's some unknown strong person...

But this person turned out to be clever.

If he hadn't been sure that Gan Qiao was not joking, Orochimaru would have thought that he was going to fall under a genjutsu.

This truth is too hard to accept.

"So...killing Hanzo, helping Uchiha Asuka, and fighting against the Third Generation...you did all these things? Senior Qian Qiao?"

"That's right, there are some things that I can't come forward with, so I can only use other identities."

Qianqiao shrugged.

Orochimaru reacted with a wry smile on his face.

"Qianqiao, you child, what you give me is no longer a surprise, but a fright. I didn't expect that you were the one behind it..."

'There are many things you didn't expect'

Qian Qiao really wanted to say this, but after thinking about it, he decided not to continue irritating these two people.
