Sand Hidden Village, Kazekage's Office.

The fifth-generation Kazekage I Airo listened to the report of his subordinates, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

I'm over 30 years old, and I still have the handsomeness of my youth, but maybe it's due to a hairstyle problem, which makes his hairline look a little raised...

"Twelve middle ninjas, and an old senior shinobi who has experienced the ninja war..."

"The entire Shayin garrison detachment was silently wiped out in the ruins outside Loulan City?"

I Airo repeated the shocking news I had just heard, and there was an uproar in my heart:

In the ninja world, which is becoming more and more peaceful, there has not been such a terrifying and vicious incident for many years;

And the people who can do this kind of thing will definitely not be general.

"Not only that..."

As the captain of my Airo's guard and right-hand man, Kankuro, who had learned the news in advance, couldn't help but sigh:

"This incident has caused a very bad social impact..."

"Could it be that those online media are...?"

I had a bad feeling all of a sudden.

"That's right!"

Kankuro nodded, and replied a little helplessly:

"On the day of the incident, the bloody footage of the scene was uploaded online by witnesses."

"Now the entire country of wind, and even the inhabitants of the country of rivers and the country of fire along the railway, everyone is in danger because of this."

"In addition, many foreign journalists rushed to Loulan in thunder cars."

I only felt a headache:

In the new era of the development of the Internet, his biggest challenge as a wind shadow is not a murderous terrorist, but a news media that cannot be suppressed no matter how much he can't suppress it.

There are many countries in the ninja world, and the intensity of news control in each country is different, which makes the management and control of public opinion in the ninja world extremely confusing.

Even the five largest countries can't stop the media reporters who flock to the media at the first event and don't think it's a big deal at all.

"Nonsense!"

I Ai Luo couldn't help but curse in a deep voice:

"The murderer's traces have not been caught at all, and I don't know what special purpose he has, this group of powerless guys dare to go up and die like this!"

Kankuro smiled helplessly:

"Times are different, these people always want to make a big news..."

"We can barely control the media in our country, but those foreign journalists are running fast."

After calming down, I began to analyze carefully:

"Although I don't know what the other party's purpose is, the enemy's strength is definitely far beyond the level of the upper ninja."

"It's been a long time since an enemy of this magnitude has appeared, and we must take it seriously!"

As he spoke, he motioned to the administrative secretary on the side to note down his decision:

"Urgently call the second detachment of the dark department that has completed the mission from the country of Kawano..."

"Order them not to return to the village for the time being, and rush directly to Loulan City along the railway line, and immediately seal off the scene of the incident and carry out a detailed investigation."

"Yes, Kazekage-sama!"

The secretary nodded respectfully.

"Also..."

I Ai Luo turned to Kan Jiulang and said, "You prepare, we will leave for Loulan tomorrow." ”

Kankuro hesitated: "Do you want to appear in person?" ”

"The death of an entire Sand Hidden Garrison detachment is enough for me, the Wind Shadow, to be dispatched."

I Airo said slowly:

"And I always have a bad premonition..."

...............................................................

Orochimaru's base.

To be precise, it is the base of Orochimaru in this parallel world.

This base, speaking of which, was established by Orochimaru just after he defected from Konoha back then, and it is still standing after decades of wind and rain, and it can basically be regarded as Orochimaru's base camp.

After the Fourth Ninja World War, Orochimaru, who successfully washed white, returned to his old base, and accepted the three people who had nowhere to go, such as Xianglin, Mizugetsu and Shigego, as experimental assistants, and began a scientific research life in Taoguang.

In sixteen years, he has successfully completed the perfect transition from the leader of an evil terrorist organization to an undisputed scientist.

Even, Orochimaru has his own son, although it is an artificial person...

That night, Orochimaru threw all the boring experimental work to his assistant Ghost Lantern Suizuki, and avoided everyone and walked to the depths of the base alone.

Although he accepted Mizuki, Xianglin and others as assistants, the thoughtful Orochimaru never really believed in them.

In the depths of this base, there is also a spacious secret room known only to Orochimaru himself, which stores Orochimaru's unknown secret research materials and various shady experimental materials.

Orochimaru walked to the corner of a deserted aisle and stopped, and then formed an intricate unsealing seal against a smooth and solid wall.

Eventually, Orochimaru pressed the unsealing technique condensed from his palm onto the empty, unremarkable-looking wall.

The walls squirmed rapidly, silently opening a dark cavity.

Orochimaru stepped into it with ease, and the wall returned to its original state in a few breaths.

But as soon as he stepped into this secret room, Orochimaru's body tensed up in an instant-

He actually saw another person in this secret room that only he knew!

The man was sitting in front of the computer where he stored the experimental data, with his back to Orochimaru.

The thin and straight back, as well as the long black hair that was scattered on his back, gave Orochimaru an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

And this person's hands were still tapping on the keyboard, and the screen on the computer monitor was constantly jumping, showing the research materials of Orochimaru over the years.

Wait a minute...

This guy, even my computer's file encryption has been cracked?

Orochimaru couldn't help but be a little shocked: first silently broke into the secret room of his base, and then cracked his experimental computer without hindrance, how much did the other party know about him?

He obviously noticed Orochimaru's arrival as well, but continued to operate the computer unhurriedly.

The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and then the other party sighed thoughtlessly:

"The computing power of computers in this era is countless times stronger..."

"With this kind of equipment, scientific research will be much easier."

Orochimaru frowned slightly, ignoring the other party's senseless emotion, and just asked in a deep voice:

"Who are you? What is the purpose of coming here? ”

"The purpose? Haha..."

The other party suddenly laughed meaningfully, "Go back to your own house and see, is this counting?" ”

"Don't you recognize my voice yet?"

Sound?

Orochimaru suddenly realized that this inexplicably familiar voice was not his own voice?

At this time, the other party finally turned around slowly, revealing a face that was exactly the same as his.

It's just that this face is a little more mature, but it is completely no different from the image that Orochimaru maintained more than ten years ago.

The Great Snake Pill of this world, in order to distinguish it, let's call him the Great Snake Pill No. 2...

Orochimaru No. 2 instead showed a look of disdain:

"Your transformation technique is indeed very strong, even stronger than the original Bai Jue, even I can't find a flaw at all."

"But it's just some tricks to play tricks..."

As he spoke, dozens of hideous poisonous snakes suddenly came out of the wide sleeves of Orochimaru No. 2.

They spread their hideous snake snouts, spewed scarlet snake letters, showed sharp fangs, and tensed their bodies in unison to bite each other.

However, these poisonous snakes released by Orochimaru No. 2 to test them suddenly stopped as soon as they rushed in front of the other party.

They looked at each other a little blankly, and finally climbed on each other's body affectionately, and rubbed the corners of each other's clothes without hostility.

Orochimaru lightly touched the scales of a poisonous snake, and couldn't help laughing softly:

"How can it be useful for you to attack yourself with a poisonous snake that you have cultivated?"

"Who the hell are you?"

Orochimaru No. 2 frowned, but his heart was completely disturbed by the other party's headless words.

Orochimaru didn't speak, just slowly stood up.

The muscles of his whole body squirmed, and the true body of the white phosphorus snake was directly revealed, and the body of the white snake, which was tens of meters long, suddenly occupied a small half of the space in this wide secret room.

"White phosphorus serpent?"

"W-How is this possible!"

For the first time, Orochimaru No. 2 showed a shocked expression:

The white phosphorus snake in front of him can't be faked, and the power of the white snake from its body is exactly the same as its own!

Orochimaru showed it, then changed back to its original appearance from the white phosphorus snake, and slowly walked in front of the other self, looking directly at the familiar pair of snake eyes:

"I told you that I am you, but you are from the past."

"No... To be precise, I'm supposed to be you from a parallel world. ”

"What? Me from a parallel world? ”

Orochimaru No. 2 was stunned for a while, he was a scientist, not a science fiction person.

"I'll talk about the reasons behind this later..."

Orochimaru's voice was full of confidence,

"But with what I know about myself, you'll probably be more interested in something else."

"What's the matter?"

Orochimaru No. 2 narrowed his eyes slightly, and a few traces of excitement flashed in the snake's eyes, such an unexpected thing was a direction worth exploring for him.

"An interesting research topic..."

"Oh? What research topic? ”

Orochimaru spat out two powerful words word by word, and his eyes were full of his unique fanaticism: "Eternal life!" ”

After a short silence, Orochimaru No. 2 looked at the so-called "another Orochimaru" in front of him, and finally said slowly:

"I want to hear about it..."
