Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

From this perspective, if Master hadn't destroyed the Land of Lightning to intimidate other countries and bring the ninja world into a relatively peaceful state...

He might also perish in the war.

“The death of Rope Tree had a great impact on me. It made me realize how fragile human life is, so I started to study life sciences in an attempt to find a way to make people live forever.”

Nawaki was very surprised; he never expected that Orochimaru was researching immortality.

Is it really possible to research and develop this thing?

Although the Master gave Grandpa and Grandma the fruit of life through some kind of secret recipe, no one knows exactly how.

Orochimaru actually wants to research a way to achieve immortality through scientific methods?

"Did you make it……"

"Hehe...it's already showing initial results."

Orochimaru has come up with some new ideas about how to achieve immortality.

But he couldn't be sure of the specifics yet.

After chatting for a short while, Nawaki had already begun to admire Orochimaru.

They've even found a way to achieve immortality! This is practically on par with Amado's second brother's!

However, the two have different research directions, and Rope Tree doesn't know if they can be compared.

"Talking with you today has brought back some old memories, but I think I can let go of some of them. I also want to thank you, Rope Tree."

Orochimaru felt some regret and remorse for the death of Senju Nawaki.

However, I've kept these things bottled up inside all these years and never brought them up.

Seeing Rope Tree today brought back all my memories, which kept repeating in my mind.

These memories, which would normally have made him feel depressed, are now having no negative impact on him.

Perhaps I've truly let go of some things.

The two talked about some things afterward, and Orochimaru's gloom lessened considerably, making the conversation more relaxed.

The gloom in his words has also lessened considerably.

This made Rope Tree even more relaxed.

The subsequent conversation between the two was quite pleasant.

About an hour later, Qu Feng appeared beside them.

"You two seem to be having a good chat. It seems we don't need to talk alone in this attic anymore. Let's just go back to the ground."

Qu Feng snapped his fingers, and the three of them returned to the Cloud Clan's territory together.

"Master, I've talked quite a bit with Orochimaru-senpai, there's nothing left to say. Why don't you take me home?"

Upon hearing this, Toriyama glanced at Orochimaru, whose expression remained relatively natural, indicating that Nawaki wasn't saying this because he was annoyed by Orochimaru.

The next second, the rope tree disappeared.

"It seems today's meeting made you feel much more relaxed?"

"I owe everything to Lord Qufeng."

Qu Feng waved his hand: "Don't thank me yet, there are people you need to meet tomorrow."

"There are others?" Orochimaru couldn't think of any other friends he had.

However, he didn't ask, and everything would be clear by tomorrow.

"Come on, come with me to the Science and Technology Department in Konoha Village. I have something to show you."

Orochimaru stood there, saying, "Ministry of Science and Technology? Is this really something I can see? Aren't you afraid I'll steal secrets?"

Qu Feng laughed: "You really underestimate me. As long as I have a thought, no matter what methods you use, I can easily crush you."

"Lord Qufeng is too kind. How could I dare?"

Toru raised an eyebrow. Cloud Release can directly scatter people into clouds and make them disappear. At this time, Orochimaru had not yet researched cursed seals and other such nonsense.

He hadn't even mastered the Reincarnation technique, so killing him would be far too easy.

However, once Orochimaru reaches his complete form, it will take some effort to kill him.

But it's not that difficult.

The two then went to the Science and Technology Department of Konoha Village.

The Ministry of Science and Technology is built beneath the Hokage Building and is constructed entirely of metal.

It looks similar to Amado's laboratory, only more spacious and brighter.

It can accommodate many researchers to conduct experiments and work.

Amado doesn't actually work here normally; he usually does research at home.

However, this afternoon, Qu Feng specifically asked him to come here.

This was to provide some assistance to Orochimaru's pursuit of immortality.

When the personnel from the Ministry of Science and Technology saw that Tokiwa and Orochimaru appeared at the same time, they naturally mistook Orochimaru for him.

But it didn't matter, and the two of them made their way to Amado's laboratory.

Qu Feng knocked on the door and then opened it to go inside.

Amado was playing a game when he saw Qufeng come in, so he quickly put it away, his face full of smiles.

"Big brother, you're here. Orochimaru is here too. I was just tired from doing experiments and I'm resting now."

Qu Feng didn't listen to his nonsense: "You play games during the day and study all night. You know how to work."

Amado scratched his head: "No, really no."

Chapter 872 Gift of White Zetsu

This was to provide some assistance to Orochimaru's pursuit of immortality.

When the personnel from the Ministry of Science and Technology saw that Tokiwa and Orochimaru appeared at the same time, they naturally mistook Orochimaru for him.

But it didn't matter, and the two of them made their way to Amado's laboratory.

Qu Feng knocked on the door and then opened it to go inside.

Amado was playing a game when he saw Qufeng come in, so he quickly put it away, his face full of smiles.

"Big brother, you're here. Orochimaru is here too. I was just tired from doing experiments and I'm resting now."

Qu Feng didn't listen to his nonsense: "You play games during the day and study all night. You know how to work."

Amado scratched his head: "No, really no."

Orochimaru's gaze had been fixed on the huge culture chambers in the laboratory ever since he entered.

He also had similar instruments, but they weren't as sophisticated.

After all, it's a life science research project, and Orochimaru's main research is on Hashirama cells. In order to maintain the activity of the cells and the experimental subjects, cultivation is necessary.

He had cultivated so many things, but he had never seen this kind of creature before him.

It was entirely white, with cracks on its body, but its hair was a grassy green.

"What's this?"

Qu Feng listened and a smile appeared on his face: "Let Amado introduce you. Consider this a gift from me."

Upon hearing this, Amado immediately put his phone in his pocket: "Ahem! Now, please listen to my introduction."

"This thing is called White Zetsu. The first recorded discovery date was in Konoha Year 13, when a large number of White Zetsu were discovered during the duel between the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha."

"Then this thing disappeared without a trace and never appeared again until a few years ago when Lord Qu Feng found its lair somewhere underground, captured some of them himself and put them into the laboratory."

Orochimaru looked at Torifu upon hearing this: "This kind of creature is distributed throughout the ninja world? And in large numbers? But how come I've never seen it before?"

"These things stay underground and rarely move, so they are basically impossible to find, and they have no fixed abode."

Then, Tokifuku explained to Orochimaru in more detail: "White Zetsu's biological properties are similar to those of plants. Although they look human-like, they are essentially unrelated to humans."

"They don't have any genes, and their reproduction is done through cloning. It's worth mentioning that their cloning is very rapid, making them excellent experimental subjects."

Orochimaru was somewhat tempted by what he said about taking the wind.

Orochimaru's current research is that he is severely lacking in living beings, and just now, Tokifumi said he would give him one.

He was initially puzzled, but now he realizes it's truly necessary.

"Lord Torifu, do such creatures exist in our ninja world?"

Qu Feng nodded: "I can say for sure, absolutely."

"And I'll tell you a research finding: by adding Rope Tree cells or my master's cells, this stuff can enhance their physique and recovery speed, and greatly improve their strength."

This news was still very useful to Orochimaru, since his research had always focused on Hashirama cells.

Taking the wind's words were undoubtedly a reminder that White Zetsu played a significant role.

"Thank you for informing me, Lord Qufeng! This is very helpful to me."

Qu Feng patted him on the shoulder: "It's good to have the idea of ​​immortality, but you can't use other people's lives to fulfill your idea of ​​immortality. That's something I won't allow."

"Once the White Zetsu is cultured, it will be sufficient for your experiments, and there will be no rejection reaction due to cell implantation, making it easier for you to conduct experiments more quickly."

Orochimaru was speechless at this point; he felt that his success in achieving immortality was within reach!

For so many years, he has been stuck on the rejection reaction.

Now, Toru tells him that there are experimental subjects who can fuse with Hashirama cells without causing a rejection reaction, and may even become stronger!

This made Orochimaru extremely happy.

"The Ministry of Science and Technology has already trained a large number of White Zetsu. When you return to your world, I will bring you ten White Zetsu. After you breed them for a while, that should be enough."

A sudden surge of happiness overwhelmed Orochimaru: "Ten of them!"

Seeing his expression, Qu Feng couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder: "Why are you still so silly? This thing isn't that valuable. It's just that its abilities are quite good, so it never shows them off. If you're giving it as a gift, you should naturally give more."

"Otherwise, it would make us seem too petty."
