Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Damned Orochimaru, If Not for Your Science I Would Have Killed You Already
After speaking, Gu Xingxi removed his 3D Maneuver Gear and brought it before Orochimaru.
Seeing how courteously Gu Xingxi treated Orochimaru, Uchiha Fugaku thought to himself, "Am I less dignified than a junior?"
It wasn't strange for him to think this way. Orochimaru currently held only two titles: disciple of the Third Hokage and the new generation's genius. But only Gu Xingxi knew how terrifying Orochimaru would become later on—he could survive where others would die.
Orochimaru took the 3D Maneuver Gear handed to him by Gu Xingxi and began to closely inspect it, examining the hooks, blades, gas, and a series of components, much like Minato had done.
Before Orochimaru could speak, Jiraiya was the first to chime in, "Orochimaru, why bother with a junior's ninja tool? Are you really taking this Uchiha as your disciple just for this gadget? The old man will have something to say about this."
Seeing Uchiha Fugaku's face darken further, Tsunade immediately punched Jiraiya to silence him, sending him flying with the force of the blow.
Tobirama Senju felt a twinge of fear, thinking, "Sister's monstrous strength seems even stronger than before."
Tsunade reassured Uchiha Fugaku, "Don't mind Jiraiya; he never makes any sense. Don't pay any attention to him."
Uchiha Fugaku, however, ignored Tsunade's comment and just grunted, turning his attention back to Orochimaru, who was still examining the 3D Maneuver Gear.
After a while, Orochimaru returned the device to Gu Xingxi and commented, "The jet propulsion and the blade of your device need to be replaced. You, an orphaned Uchiha with such a rundown house—where did you get the resources or money for this?"
Gu Xingxi was shocked inside: "Orochimaru, go to hell, you motherf*cker. Why the hell does everyone want to mess with me?"
Hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku also looked at Gu Xingxi, waiting to see how he would respond.
Under the intense scrutiny of four pairs of eyes, Gu Xingxi, feeling immense pressure, said, "Master Orochimaru, this is a 3D Maneuver Gear, and it doesn't need replacements or refills."
Orochimaru, stroking his chin, mused, "Oh? How did you manage that? The materials used in the jet propulsion aren't available in Konoha, right?"
Gu Xingxi lowered his head, "I'm sorry, Master Orochimaru, but I can't disclose that."
Just after Gu Xingxi finished speaking, Orochimaru's expression visibly darkened.
Gu Xingxi quickly added, "But I can provide a brand new 3D Maneuver Gear that needs to be refilled."
Orochimaru's mood lightened upon hearing this, "Good, I hope you keep your promise, Xingxi-kun. Tomorrow, come to the forest in the northeast, where I'll teach you and Tobirama some ninja techniques and prepare you with the necessary tools and intelligence for the war."
Tobirama immediately expressed his happiness, "Teacher, you're going to personally teach me? The last time you did was so long ago."
Seeing her brother's unserious demeanor, Tsunade smacked him on the head, "With that attitude, how are you supposed to survive on the battlefield?"
Tobirama, rubbing his head, shot Tsunade a look and then ran off.
After Tsunade and Orochimaru bid farewell to Uchiha Fugaku, they left together.
Once the three were gone, Uchiha Fugaku turned to Gu Xingxi and commanded, "Make sure to contribute one of those 3D Maneuver Gears to the clan." This was not a request but an order.
Gu Xingxi had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
After a while, when Uchiha Fugaku had left, Gu Xingxi looked around his new house. Everything was there, fully stocked—it was clear a lot of money had been spent.
Lying on his bed, Gu Xingxi complained, "Where am I supposed to get these two thousand points? Even a non-max level 3D Maneuver Gear needs 500 points, damn it, this is so annoying. Am I going to have to ask the system for a loan again? I was hoping to save some points to exchange for a weapon."
The system responded, "You can take a loan from the system, no interest, truly conscientious."
Gu Xingxi, exhausted, said, "We'll talk about it tomorrow, I'm tired."
At that moment, Bai Qian, transformed back into a small fox, said to Gu Xingxi, "That snake seemed to have sensed me, just for a moment."
Gu Xingxi exclaimed, "Damn, Orochimaru is that powerful already?"
He patted Bai Qian's tail and asked, "Xiao Bai, how do you unlock the full Sage Mode?"
Bai Qian explained, "There are three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Currently, your physical condition can't even unlock the beginner level. By the time you're about 12, you should be able to unlock it."
Gu Xingxi replied, "12 years old, four years from now is still acceptable. So, I just need enough physical strength to unlock it?"
Bai Qian clarified, "When the time comes, I will gather chakra for you, and you will enter a unique Qingqiu Nine-Tails Sage Mode. Depending on the duration, in advanced Sage Mode, I might fall into a brief slumber, but you can still use my chakra."
Understanding dawned on Gu Xingxi, "Oh, I see. Well, now we need to focus on the war. The battlefield in Hidden Rain Village is tense, and after the Sannin make a name for themselves, and after another figure, Hatake Sakumo, kills Scorpion's parents, the war will nearly be over. After that, we can think about Sage Mode. For now, let's sleep. Good night, Xiao Bai."
With that, Gu Xingxi lay down on his tatami and fell asleep.
Bai Qian found a comfortable spot by his pillow and said, "Good night," before she too fell asleep.
