Konoha: The New Will of Fire

Konoha!

The news that Qian Qiao possessed Mu Dun spread throughout the village like a hurricane. All the major families received the news almost at the same time and were shocked.

I think back then, three generations of leaders used the whole village's efforts to find a way to use Hashirama's cells, but they cleverly but quietly mastered the Wood Release. How could it not surprise people?

Even Minato was like that.

Naruto Building.

Minato asked with wide eyes in disbelief.

"That's it?"

"That's all." Gan Qiao shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "There are so many complications. I just simply transplanted the Hashirama cells obtained from Xue Ji into my arm, and I mastered the wood escape." .”

Minato rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "In other words, your body can be perfectly integrated with the cells of the first Hokage, Hashirama-sama."

Qianqiao followed the words and said: "This should be related to the Six Paths Sage bloodline that I inherited. Just like I can obtain the chakra of the tailed beast by swallowing the tailed beast, even if I am not a jinchuriki, I can still use the power of the tailed beast."

This was the rhetoric he had prepared a long time ago, to blame everything on his special bloodline. This reason was perfect because no one could prove that he was wrong.

The most important thing is that this reason allows everyone to accept that since Qianqiao can swallow the power of tailed beasts, it is completely reasonable that he can withstand the power of Hashirama's cells.

"That's how it should be."

Minato nodded and said: "All in all, this is a good thing. With your Wood Release, the village will have the restraint power to face the Nine-Tails rampage."

Speaking of this, Minato's eyes flashed with joy. Being able to restrain the Kyuubi's Wood Release was a life-saving talisman for Kushina, who was the Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi.

The Jinchuriki seals the tailed beast with himself, integrating life with the tailed beast. Therefore, the Jinchuriki has always been in a dangerous environment.

If there is even the slightest problem with the seal, the Jinchūriki's life will be endangered.

The strongest among the tailed beasts and the one who hates humans the most is the Kyuubi. Kushina is the Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi, and Minato is not worried at all that it is fake.

Especially now that Kushina is pregnant and about to give birth. During the pregnancy, the female Jinchūriki's seal suppresses the tailed beast's energy and uses it to nurture the fetus, which will cause the seal to weaken. The seal was almost released when Mito gave birth before.

Minato has been worried about this matter, but now with the skillful Wood Release, Kushina's life will be protected. Back then, the First Hokage relied on the Wood Release to capture all the tailed beasts except one.

Qianqiao was keenly aware of Minato's joyful mood, and after a little thought, he knew what Minato was thinking, so he said: "When Kushina gives birth, I will guard the side to prevent Kyuubi from going crazy."

Minato was startled, but he didn't expect Qianqiao to take the initiative to say it.

"Thank you, Qian Qiao."

After thanking him for his skill, Minato suddenly thought of something and reminded him: "I'm afraid the whole village will know about the news that you have the Wood Release. I'm afraid you will be in a lot of trouble next."

Qian Qiao frowned: "Are you talking about the Thousand Hands Clan?"

"That's right." Minato nodded and said: "After all, Wood Release is the blood inheritance limit of the first Hokage. No one from the Senju clan can inherit it. In the experiment of transplanting Hashirama-sama's cells, the Senju clan had the most volunteers. Knowing that you have Wood Release , it is absolutely impossible for the Thousand Hands Clan to ignore it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door creaked and was pushed open.

Qianqiao and Minato looked along the door at the same time, and saw an old woman with white hair walking on crutches slowly walking into the office with Xueji's support.

Xue Ji can help him personally. It seems that this old man is the only remaining elder of the Thousand Hands clan. Gan Qiao couldn't help but muttered in his heart. If he really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao would be here.

When Minato saw the old man, he stood up quickly and said with a smile, "Lord Momoka, why are you here?"

"Why can't I come? Am I, an old woman, no longer allowed to enter your Hokage's office?"

Minato heard this with a bitter smile and said, "I didn't mean that at all. It's just that, Momoka-sama, you haven't left the Senju Clan's camp for several years. You must have come to me today to do some clever wood escape."

"Ok!"

Qianju Taohua responded, turning her head to look at Qian Qiao, looking up and down.

Regarding Qian Qiao, Taohua had heard this name more than once. She and Xue Ji belonged to the seventh class, and Xue Ji seemed to have different emotions towards him.

Taohua once sent someone to investigate Gan Qiao, an ordinary ninja with a background and no bloodline, so she warned Xue Ji at that time.

But what happened next was beyond his expectation. This civilian ninja awakened during the war and became a jounin in a short time. Later, he possessed the blood of the Sage of Six Paths and became a ninja who can use the power of tailed beasts.

Now, Lord Hashirama's cells have been successfully transplanted. He possesses Wood Release and controls the roots. He has become a high-ranking member of the village who must be treated with caution by the Senju clan.

Qian Qiao was also looking at Momo, the only surviving elder of the Senju clan. Senju Momo, the old man who survived the era of the first Hokage, seemed to be 80 years old.

In the ninja world where the average age is only 30 years old, this is definitely longevity.

At this moment, Qian Qiao felt a dangerous gaze and felt a chill in his heart. He followed the gaze and saw Xue Ji staring at him with an unkind look.

Qian Qiao touched his nose in embarrassment. He knew that Xue Ji was blaming him for transplanting Hashirama's cells to possess Wood Release, yet he kept such an important matter from her.

Xue Ji was very angry. She gave Gan Qiao a lot of help. She always supported Gan Qiao when he needed research, and Gan Qiao also promised her to share the research results.

But Qian Qiao actually hid the fact that she owned Mu Dun from her. For Xue Ji, who was a member of the Thousand Hands clan, even the immortal mode was not as valuable as Mu Dun.

If she can also possess Wood Release, she can become a ninja god like the first Hokage and lead the Senju clan to regain their former glory.

Taohua asked: "Gan Qiao, I wonder if you can tell me how you got the Wood Release."

Qianqiao told Minato's words to Taohua, and blamed everything on his own so-called Six Paths Immortal bloodline.

After listening to this, Taohua was thoughtful and did not show any doubts, but Taohua suddenly said: "Qian Qiao, Mu Dun is the blood successor limit of the Hashirama Clan, and it is very important to the Thousand Hands Clan, so I hope you can go Our Thousand Hands Clan, our Thousand Hands Clan may be able to open the limit of Mudun blood inheritance based on your bloodline."

Qian Qiao's eyes were stunned. What kind of help was to let him be a guinea pig? Not to mention that he had so many secrets. Even if he didn't have so many secrets, he wouldn't be able to be a guinea pig, so he refused coldly.

"I'm sorry, I refuse to go to the Thousand Hands Clan. The opening of the wood escape blood inheritance limit varies from person to person. If it could be opened through blood, someone in your Thousand Hands Clan would have activated the wood escape."

Taohua was stunned for a moment, then her eyes darkened, and Qianqiao actually rejected her.

She originally thought that just by coming forward and speaking her mind would be enough to give Gan Qiao face, but Gan Qiao turned her down so shamelessly.

As the only remaining elder of the Senju clan, Momo may not be the clan leader, but her status in the Senju clan is second only to Tsunade. Even the Third Hokage has to play her part, and the Fourth Hokage is also a junior in front of her.

Now that I was rejected by a ninja who was born as a commoner, I felt insulted and annoyed.
