"Where's Minato?"
Back in the tent, Xin noticed Minato was nowhere to be seen. Nawaki was lying down, reading a book.
Hearing the question, Nawaki rolled over and answered wearily, "Where else would he be? He went off with his teacher, Jiraiya."
It was clear that Nawaki was jealous and had turned into a sour little lemon.
Minato's teacher, Jiraiya, had come to take him away, but Nawaki's teacher, Orochimaru, hadn't even stopped by to see him.
This left Nawaki feeling rather resentful.
"I ran into Orochimaru-sensei earlier at the Medical Corps. It looked like he was headed to the Logistics Department. If you go now, you should be able to catch him," Xin casually mentioned to Nawaki as he curled up with Ophis under the covers, ready to sleep.
After staying up all night, Xin was feeling drowsy. As for Ophis, she was the perfect bodyguard, a protective charm, and a cozy little heater all rolled into one. Plus, her soft and slippery scale made her a comforting cuddle buddy.
The best part was, Ophis seems don't care at all.
"Go give that kid a little reminder!"
It's one thing to be close to the jinchuriki, but even if you're close to her, I won't tolerate Tsunade revealing the Nine-Tails' secrets to you!
Danzo ground his teeth in frustration.
That little brat with Uchiha blood doesn't deserve to know the Nine-Tails' secret.
Tsunade's earlier concerns were spot on. Since Danzo didn't dare to touch her, he decided to take out his anger on Xin instead.
If Xin didn't have Uchiha blood, Danzo might have been less hostile, but with that bloodline, Danzo viewed him with nothing but suspicion. Combined with Xin's closeness to Kushina and Tsunade, Danzo was itching to bury the boy in a ditch.
"Yes, sir!"
One of Danzo's Root operatives slipped away silently.
Despite Xin's track record-defeating Jonin and effortlessly controlling Shimura Hideitsu with genjutsu in front of several Jonin, the Root ninja still didn't take him seriously. To them, he was just a kid, not worth any real concern.
When it comes to understanding the Sharingan, who knows more than Root, aside from the Uchiha themselves?
Besides, Root's operatives didn't worry about consequences or means. Their only focus was completing the mission, no matter the cost.
