Chapter 13: Undercurrents
"Naruto, you keep practicing, I'll go talk to your Grandpa Xuehui on the side, so I won't disturb you to concentrate on cultivation."
Jiraiya said to Naruto, and Naruto was surrounded by water balls piled up all over the ground.
"Naruto, don't worry about any sequelae, whether it's the Nine-Tails or physical exhaustion, I can help you solve it, let it go!"
Xue Hui smiled and encouraged.
"Oh! Just see! I'm sure I'll be able to master this move called Spiral Pill! “
Naruto replied loudly with confidence.
"So, is there anything you want to know from me?"
Coming to the side under the big tree, Xue Hui looked at Zilai and asked kindly.
"No, no, no, it's an uncle my age anyway, and I can feel your feelings for Naruto."
Jilai also hurriedly laughed twice, explaining that he did not suspect Xue Hui.
"I'm curious, though."
Zilai also suddenly looked right, and looked at Xue Hui seriously.
"The Uzumaki clan related to Kushina, as well as Uzumaki Mito-sama, I'm sure they're all dead, and your companion named Uchiha Kagami, I heard the news that Orochimaru was instantly defeated by him, and your appearance can't be explained by common sense."
Jiraiya said that he had collected and obtained information, and analyzed:
"You guys just appeared out of thin air, just so that Naruto and them met, and their strength is more unfathomable than the other, as if they appeared on purpose to help Naruto and Sasuke accelerate their growth."
"Don't rush to contradict me, it's true that others can't detect your strength because you don't have the slightest chakra reaction, right?"
"However, I have cultivated the Immortal Mode, and then, I can sense that you are full of vigorous natural energy, which would have died a long time ago if it had been placed on anyone else, but you didn't, and I guess you can still use it skillfully, I know the power of the Immortal Mode very well."
Jiraiya said slowly.
"From this point of view, Jiraiya, at this stage, you are much stronger than Orochimaru and Tsunade."
Xue Hui said with a smile, admitting this in disguise.
"That's right, as you said, I'm not an ordinary person, let alone a ninja, but a real immortal, as for my strength, you'll know when the time comes."
"You don't really have to worry about our sudden appearance, because I can sense that the moment when we leave is coming, and after that, we will not be in this world again."
Xue Hui told the truth and didn't feel any regrets.
"Sure enough, you're not from this world, or this era, are you?"
Jiraiya speculated.
"Yes, it's not."
Xue Hui stretched out his finger and shook it.
"For example, Mirror, he did leave a mark on you, you can ask your teacher about this."
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say, let's watch Naruto's growth with peace of mind!"
Xue Hui voluntarily terminated the topic.
"Okay." Jiraiya nodded: "Thank you for telling me this information." “
"Hahaha! You just think you're pleasing to the eye. “
Xue Hui laughed a few times, and then said to Jiraiya.
"In a few days, I may leave a little bit, and Naruto's side will be handed over to you, by the way, don't forget to give him the psychic technique."
"In return, you sit cross-legged now."
Xue Hui said suddenly.
"Huh? What's wrong? Jiraiya was puzzled, but he did so.
Xue Hui put his right hand against Jiraiya's back and said:
"Anyway, we're idle, I'll help you perfect your clumsy immortal mode, don't be distracted, practice hard for me!"
With Xue Hui's stern words, a pure and massive natural energy entered Jiraiya's body.
He was also shocked, he couldn't withstand such a volume of natural energy.
"Don't worry, I'll keep you safe, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Xue Hui said, Zilai also listened, so he had to concentrate on cultivation.
...
A few days later, before the third exam.
"Orochimaru-sama."
In a secret room, the voice of the medicine master came from outside the door.
"How's the preparation?"
Orochimaru's grim voice came from the shadows, and then his thin body appeared in the light.
"Yo, Orochimaru, hello!"
Behind the trembling pocket, Xue Hui's head poked out and greeted him easily.
"Who are you?"
Orochimaru stared at Xue Hui with an unkind face.
Xue Hui let go of his pocket and pushed him on the back, staggering to the side.
Xue Hui ignored the hostile glances of the two and walked to a chair and sat down.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm not here to trouble you."
Xue Hui's fingers hooked slightly, and a poisonous snake that appeared behind his chair was cut in half by an invisible blade.
"I'm here to talk to you about cooperation, but if you continue to attack, it's not like I can't deal with you all."
Xue Hui threatened Orochimaru with a smile.
Orochimaru gave Dou a look, and Dou hurriedly exited the room and guarded outside.
"You want to work with me? Interesting, let's talk about it. “
"Konoha collapse plan, I also want to participate in it."
Xue Hui's words were shocking, which made Orochimaru startled and stunned for a moment.
"Who the hell are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, but the Uchiha you met that day was my companion."
Xue Hui said.
"If you don't want to mess up your plans because of us, you suggest you think about whether or not you want to accept my cooperation."
Xue Hui stretched out his hand and hooked it towards Orochimaru, and smiled.
"Hehe, the Konoha Collapse Plan has reached its final stage, I'm afraid there's nothing you can participate in."
Orochimaru calmed down and regained some composure.
"No, I said yes, there is."
Xue Hui said noncommittally.
"Show me your research on reincarnation in the Filthy Land."
Xue Hui commanded to Orochimaru.
"What do you want to do?!"
Orochimaru said warily, this had touched his secret.
"I also have research on Filthy Earth Reincarnation, I'll see if I can help you improve this technique a little more."
Xue Hui spread out his hand and explained.
"I don't trust you."
Orochimaru decisively refused.
"It's not up to you."
Xue Hui just looked at Orochimaru, and Orochimaru felt that he could hardly make any movements.
"However, I'm a reasonable person, so give me the materials, and I'll perform a defiled earth reincarnation, how about it?"
"My purpose is very simple, I want you to psychic the first and second generations as strong as possible, and I can even help you get two good sacrifices."
Xue Hui said with a smile.
