Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Page 248

There, the toads of Mount Myōboku, the Great Toad Sage explained the path to finding the Child of Prophecy...

"Teacher, I need to leave the village for a while after the war."

Fate can be so cruel sometimes.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi understood Jiraiya's thoughts. However, during wartime, searching for a so-called prophetic child was nothing but a joke.

"I agreed."

Master and disciple were completely separated at this moment.

Jiraiya embarked on his fourth path, gradually diverging from the paths of the other three.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru finally discovered the brown tail belonging to Shirahoshi's cells in Shirahoshi's residence.

Originally, he didn't care; after all, it was just an ordinary monkey's tail...

But then he suddenly realized something was off: he rarely saw monkeys around the village... and how could a monkey have a broken tail?!

So he began a series of studies.

"Sbarasi!"

Before his eyes, the number of cells extracted from the tail far exceeded Orochimaru's expectations.

Even the dangers of the interstitial cells are far less terrifying than this tail!

The intercolumnar cells are phagocytes, while the Saiyan cells on the tail are fighting cells.

However, it also has the ability to devour.

The ability to devour will only consume special cells that possess power it does not have, and that can enhance its power.

For ordinary cells like those of a normal person, that would kill them directly!

Chapter 161 The Era of Ninjas Has Ended

Good son.

He was once a child of the Uzumaki clan.

Now, he has become Orochimaru's excellent experimental assistant.

"Orochimaru-sensei. The results of the cell collision are in." The graceful, swirling girl handed a report to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru took it, quickly scanned it, and a bold speculation flashed in his eyes:

"Shirahoshi...you lied to everyone!"

"This is the real you!"

The report stated that out of 100 groups of Saiyan cells, 60 groups of Saiyan cells counter-phagocytosed the interstitial cells, and 40 groups of Saiyan cells perished along with the interstitial cells.

In other words, the upper limit of this Saiyan cell far exceeds that of the Hashira cell!

Moreover, it's a cell that refuses to admit defeat, is belligerent, and is extremely cruel!

"Kaiyoshi, how many more test subjects are there recently?"

Upon hearing this, Yoshiko went to the Root Experiment Department to retrieve the relevant report, found today's diary, and said, "There are two more."

"Too little."

"But it's enough."

Afterwards, Orochimaru obtained two test subject slots from the head of the Root Experimentation Department and continued to work with Kayoko, burying himself in further experiments.

......

Orochimaru's experiments are still in their early stages.

The Chunin Exams in Konoha have quietly begun.

After a series of tests, Obito, Rin, Kakashi, and Minato's team...

Kakashi became a Chunin on his first try, while Obito and Rin did not.

At this moment, Obito, who had not become a Chunin, parted ways with his team in disappointment and left the examination hall.

"Really..."

The boy looked up dejectedly at the setting sun.

"I wish I could be a genius like Kakashi."

"Becoming a genius isn't that easy, young man."

Ok?

Obito glanced over and saw a middle-aged man with gray hair.

"Who are you, uncle?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man put his hands on his hips and said, "You don't recognize me? I'm a super famous person!"

"Whoa~!!" Little Obito exclaimed excitedly.

"Could it be that you're a retired Jonin from Konoha, sir?"

"Jonin? What's that?" The middle-aged man scratched his head, asking with some confusion.

thump!

Obito immediately fell to the ground.

After getting up, he touched his head, picked up his goggles and put them on, leaving only his perfectly intact right eye visible underneath...

"Young man, is your left eye injured?" the uncle asked.

"Yes. I failed the test and got kicked and injured."

"Then you're really bad at it."

"......What's the meaning."

"It just means weak." The middle-aged man said the cruelest thing with a smile, and gave a thumbs up: "If you're bad, practice more."

"Damn it! Uncle, are you really that strong?"

"Of course, I already said that I'm a super famous person."

"Then what's your name?"

"Her name is Shirahoshi~"

"Shirahoshi...who is that?" Obito looked speechless, clutching the back of his head. "If Uncle's alright, I'll go home."

"Wait a minute. How about I teach you ninjutsu, uncle?" Shirahoshi stepped forward and grabbed Obito.

Obito turned his head, looking at him with suspicion: "Are you sure you're a ninja, old man?"

"Of course. I used to be a Konoha ninja too."

"But didn't you just say you didn't know what a Jonin was?" Obito said, his eyes wide with exasperation.

"Uh... Well... I've never been an uncle, so of course I don't know." Bai Xing scratched his head.

"But do you want to learn? If not, I'm leaving."

Seeing that Shirahoshi was about to leave, Obito quickly grabbed her clothes:

"study!"

The two left the village streets and walked to a training ground outside the village, where they began teaching Obito about related knowledge...

Actually, Bai Xing came back this time just to check on the village's development and see how her old friends are doing.

As people get older, many friends will naturally take different paths.

He is a sentimental person.

"Uncle, I think I know how to do this thing you taught me."

"Is that so?" Shirahoshi sat on a tree trunk, flipping through a copy of the Land of Fire's Ninja Daily, and said:

"If you can climb trees, can you walk in water?"

"Walking on water? What's that?" Obito scratched his head.

Bai Xing pointed to a river next to the training ground, "You can train over there."

"Oh, okay, thank you, brother."

Halfway there, Obito stood there stunned for a moment.

I turned my head again and looked up.

The white-haired uncle from before has turned into a handsome white-haired man!

"Eh? Uncle? Are you the same uncle from before? Is this also a ninjutsu? Can you teach me?" Obito couldn't help but ask when he saw the strange jutsu where only the face had changed, not the body.

Shirahoshi lowered her head, glanced at Obito, and then looked at the newspaper: "This is what I look like."

"This technique is actually just an application of transformation techniques."

"When you're as strong as me, you'll naturally learn it too."

"Wow! Amazing!!" Obito was a little excited about the ninjutsu he had never seen before.

But Obito, who was about to practice water walking, quickly came to his senses.

"Wait a minute! Didn't you say you'd teach me ninjutsu? Why are you teaching me chakra control instead?!"

Bai Xing sighed slightly, thinking to herself that young kids always have so many questions: "You can't even walk on water, how am I supposed to teach you?"

"Chakra control is fundamental."

"Okay, okay. Wait a minute!"

"what happened again."

"Could you show me what this technique is?"

"Okay." Bai Xing put the newspaper in her arms, jumped down from the tree trunk, and patted the wood chips off her bottom.

"Well, let me show you."
