Konoha: The New Will of Fire

When asked by Qian Qiao, Orochimaru also gave a truthful answer.

There has indeed been breakthrough progress, but it is still early to achieve real success. At this stage, it is just research.

Qian Qiao shook his head in disappointment and changed the subject: "I'm going to take action against the Xiao organization. What do you think?"

Orochimaru was shocked when he heard that Qian Qiao was going to take action against the Akatsuki organization. He didn't expect Qian Qiao to have such an amazing idea in his calmness.

Then he thought about Minato who had woken up behind him, and Qianqiao was not surprised to have such thoughts.

Orochimaru thought for a while: "If it were in the past, with our current strength, we wouldn't have to worry about it. It would not be a problem to destroy an Akatsuki organization. Even if the opponent has the Rinnegan and Uchiha Madara, but now..."

In Orochimaru's mind, he subconsciously recalled Nagato's attack that day and its powerful strength. Even now, Orochimaru still feels fear in his heart when he recalls it.

Qianqiao frowned slightly: "Is Nagato really that strong now?"

"Strong!"

Orochimaru nodded heavily, seeing that Qianqiao didn't believe it, he said: "I had a brief fight with him, and my original body had no possibility of winning in front of him. If it weren't for me, then I wouldn't be able to win." There is no way I can leave Yuyin Village."

"Jiraiya used the sage potion specially prepared by me. Even though it is not as good as the cooperation with the two idlers from Mount Myoboku, his combat power is definitely the top in today's ninja world. However, he still has no power to resist Nagato. The current Nagato is so much better than he used to be.”

Seeing that Orochimaru is so serious, Gan Qiao naturally believes that Orochimaru is a very proud person and can make him take the initiative to admit that he is inferior. You can imagine how powerful Nagato is now.

I didn’t expect that Nagato would become so difficult.

In the past, Qianqiao didn't take Nagato seriously. Although Nagato had the Rinnegan Eye, his Rinnegan Eye belonged to Uchiha Madara and was unable to exert the true power of the Rinnegan Eye.

But things are different now. Nagato has been reborn and obtained the blood of the Otsutsuki clan. In terms of bloodline, Nagato should be no worse than the descendant of the immortal Uchiha Madara.

Thinking of this, Qianqiao had a headache. If he had known it, he should have dealt with Nagato earlier, but who could have imagined that such a thing could happen.

Orochimaru suddenly said: "I am very curious about whose blood Nagato's blood exchange is. It has such a strong power and made Nagato suddenly become so much stronger."

As he spoke, Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, his eyes showing deep curiosity and greed.

How could Orochimaru not want to get such a good thing.

Gan Qiao explained after hearing this: "It's not that the blood itself is powerful, but it's related to Nagato's situation."

Orochimaru was startled and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Nagato is in a special situation. He himself is a member of the Uzumaki clan. The blood he exchanged is the source of the Uzumaki clan's bloodline. The blood he exchanged enhanced the Uzumaki clan's bloodline in Nagato's body, even surpassing that of the Uzumaki clan's ancestors."

Qian Qiao did not tell Orochimaru that the Samsara Eye was not Nagato, but simply explained the principle of blood transfusion.

Kakashi next to him was very confused when he heard it, but for Orochimaru, the scientist of the ninja world, it was not difficult to understand. Orochimaru's face turned red, because from these words, Orochimaru learned a very shocking news. .

Orochimaru asked excitedly: "The origin of bloodline, do you mean..."

Before Orochimaru could finish speaking, Ganqiao interrupted: "I know what you are going to say. There are indeed people who have lived for that long, but don't think about it now. Even me, I'm afraid I'm not the opponent."

Hearing Qian Qiao's positive admission, Orochimaru's eyes lit up, and he had countless questions in his mind that he wanted to ask. However, seeing that Qian Qiao didn't know how to answer, Orochimaru could only suppress his doubts, but secretly made up his mind. We must find an opportunity to pry these secrets out of Qian Qiao's mouth.

Only Kakashi next to him became more and more confused and puzzled. Orochimaru and Mikio were playing riddles.

Orochimaru suddenly said: "Although we can't start a full-scale war, we can test Nagato's current strength."

Qian Qiao nodded and said: "This is feasible. When Minato recovers, I will go with Minato myself."

The news of Minato's awakening soon spread throughout the high-level officials of Konoha. Although Minato only served as Hokage for a year, Minato was very popular when he was Hokage. In addition, Minato sacrificed his life for the village on the night of the Kyuubi. At this moment, Minato came to his senses. For a moment, Many middle and high-level officials in Konoha, as well as the heads of major families, showed up at the hospital to visit Minato.

But there were too many visitors, and the whole hospital was noisy.

In the end, Ganqiao had to issue an order prohibiting anyone from visiting Minato. Even if he did, his warrant would be required. At the same time, a team of ANBU squads were deployed to secretly protect him.

Minato had just woken up and his soul was injured. What he needed most now was to rest.

After recuperating for nearly a week, Minato was finally able to get off the ground and walk simply with the help of others. However, it would take at least a month of recuperation to regain his former strength.

During this time, Naruto accompanied Minato every day, and the relationship between father and son improved by leaps and bounds.

a few days later.

In the high-end ward of Konoha Hospital, Qianqiao came to visit Minato, and happened to meet Minato on his way to see Kushina.

Looking at Kushina on the hospital bed through the glass, Minato thanked him from the bottom of his heart: "Ganqiao, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, Kushina and I would have been in the Pure Land."

"Between you and me, there is no need to say thank you." Ganqiao waved his hand and looked at Kushina: "Over the years, we have tried many methods, but we can't wake up Kushina. Kushina's life force is too consumed. Many, plus she is a Jinchuuriki but the tailed beast was extracted. It is already a miracle that she can remain immortal. To save Kushina, I am afraid that only the legendary Sage of Six Paths has the ability to create everything from nothing and give life. Only the Yin-Yang secret technique can save Kushina."

"Otherwise, we can only keep waiting and wait for a miracle to happen one day."

Kushina's current state is like a vegetative state in her previous life. Whether she can wake up or not depends on a miracle, it is no longer a matter of medical technology.

"No matter what, I will keep waiting until she wakes up."

Minato's eyes were full of love.

Qian Qiao rolled his eyes when he saw this. Is it really okay to pledge each other like this in front of me, a single guy?

At this moment, Minato suddenly looked solemn: "I want to meet the third generation?"

Qian Qiao was startled, not expecting Minato to suddenly make such a request.

Ganqiao had no objection to Minato meeting the Third Generation, but there were some things he still had to remind Minato: "You can meet the Third Generation anytime you want, but are you really ready to meet the Third Generation?"

Minato nodded seriously: "There are some things I must ask him face to face, why did he do that? I didn't have a chance on the night of the Kyuubi. Now that I have come back to life, I must hear the answer from the third generation's mouth."

I could understand Minato in the early stage. After all, he had always respected the third generation, but suddenly he was betrayed by the person he respected the most. No one could accept it all at once.
