Even his only outstanding skill, "immortal arts," is...

"Heh heh, Jiraiya, Kiyoshi-kun has mastered what's called 'immortal arts'."

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth.

During his time on the battlefield, he secretly established several laboratories and captured members of the Jugo clan to conduct cursed seal experiments. Now, there is progress.

It's reached the point where red beans can be used for clinical trials.

Orochimaru believed that Anko could withstand the side effects of the cursed seal; otherwise, she wouldn't be qualified to be his disciple.

When "divine arts" were mentioned, Jiraiya's usually carefree expression became much more serious.

"Orochimaru, do you remember what I said before about the 'Child of Prophecy'?"

Jiraiya turned to Orochimaru and said seriously.

The fact that the three of them could be called the Three Ninjas is a testament to their deep friendship.

They all grew up together under Hiruzen Sarutobi, and there was another ninja named Hiruko who got along well with them.

However, his achievements are far less than theirs, and he seems to be contributing to the village on some front line now.

"Are you still thinking about the 'Child of Prophecy'?"

There was a hint of mockery in Orochimaru's words.

As a researcher in the scientific field, he believes that everything can be explained by science, even bloodline limits can be analyzed by science.

"Immortal arts" is the best example. So what if he can't learn them?

They also developed the "Curse Seal" as an alternative.

Orochimaru considered it foolish and superstitious to entrust the fate of the ninja world to the so-called "Child of Prophecy."

"Orochimaru, what I'm trying to say is that Kiyoshi is very likely the 'Child of Prophecy.'"

Jiraiya said.

"Of course, he is one of the current candidates to become the 'Child of Prophecy.'"

"Hey, is that so?"

Orochimaru smiled.

If Kiyoshi achieves anything great in the future, it will be through his wisdom.

It is not a so-called prophecy.

"I have other matters to attend to, Jiraiya. Go and report the situation at the front to Sarutobi-sensei."

After Orochimaru finished speaking, he walked into the crowd.

The research on "cursed seals" is one aspect, and another aspect is the improvement of "reincarnation".

During wartime, the corpses of the dead became the least valuable thing.

Orochimaru used this opportunity to conduct numerous human experiments, and the experiments progressed rapidly.

"This guy……"

Jiraiya frowned, then relaxed his brows after a short while.

I heard that a very beautiful girl came to the store.

He absolutely had to go and do some business today. He was constantly fighting for Konoha or searching for the "Child of Prophecy" for the ninja world, and his busy schedule made Jiraiya eager to enjoy himself.

……

"Let's go with this restaurant."

Kiyoshi led Samui to a private room on the second floor of the charcoal-grilled frog restaurant.

One entire wall here is made of glass, a unique design that allows customers on the second floor to see directly into the bustling crowds outside.

After ordering, Qing Si put the menu down.

Samui plopped down on the chair, his buttocks deforming from the weight.

She had no appetite and ordered the same things as Kiyoshi.

"Kyoji-kun..."

Samui produced a barrier talisman that could reduce the sound inside, making it inaudible to those outside the private room.

"You can understand Yunyin's feelings to some extent now, right?"

Samui spoke very earnestly.

Her usually aloof and icy face now revealed this expression.

"Well..."

Kiyoshi didn't speak, but tapped his fingers on the table.

"I've recently become interested in Earth Release ninjutsu, preferably two A-rank techniques."

Samui's pretty face showed a hint of doubt, as if she hadn't expected Kiyoshi to say that.

Should we switch from Lightning Release ninjutsu to Earth Release ninjutsu?

"...Okay, I will apply to the higher-ups."

Samui nodded.

"Furthermore... I need you to gather information on the leader of the Sky Ninja."

Kiyoshi then stated his second request.

Kiyoshi originally intended to apply to Konoha for Earth Release ninjutsu, but now he has a better option.

Since Yunyin is just sitting around doing nothing anyway, we might as well help him with something.

"You can tell me what you need."

Samui immediately stated the demands of the Cloud Village's higher-ups.

"no problem."

Kiyoshi nodded. It was nothing more than some of his black lightning release ninjutsu and information. He took out a blank scroll and began to write and draw.

Black Lightning Release was originally the technique of the Third Raikage. Darui became the only inheritor of Black Lightning Release, but his strength was far inferior to that of the Third Raikage.

It's likely that the Third Raikage died too young, leaving behind too little information.

In addition, there are some techniques that Kiyoshi himself adapted, bringing new and innovative uses to the Lightning Release.

In this part, Kiyoshi wrote a censored version.

Seeing that there were several scrolls on the table, Samui reached out and took them.

"Miss Samui."

Kiyoshi gently pushed the pile of scrolls back, and Samui was stunned.

Then her eyes widened slowly as she realized what Kiyoshi wanted to do.

But this is in public, and there's a glass wall. Has Kiyoshi gone mad?

"You should understand."

Kiyoshi tapped his fingers on the table, each tap feeling like a blow to Samui's heart.

Suddenly, I recalled Kiyoshi's actions of helping to lift me up to reduce gravity.

And... the village's orders.

Feelings of humiliation and regret welled up inside me.

There's nothing we can do now; it was a mistake from the very beginning.

Samui's face showed a sorrowful expression.

Chapter 258 Harvesting Samui

If she had firmly rejected Kiyoshi from the beginning, she might have had a chance now.

But once you do something, there's only the difference between doing it zero times and doing it countless times.

Do you know what invisibility is?

The waiter opened the door to the private room, placed the dishes on the table for Kiyoshi and Samui, then closed the door and left.

The delicious food on the table emitted a wonderful aroma, but Samui paid no attention to it; she only wanted to know what Qing Si meant.

"In the ninja world, there are many techniques that can interfere with vision and chakra. Some techniques can make others unable to see the user, such as the 'Transparent' Release, the Second Tsuchikage's 'Dustless Concealment,' and even the 'Ninja Art: Camouflage Concealment' favored by Iwagakure ninjas... and so on."

Qing Si knew them all like the back of his hand.

Invisibility is not a common ability in the ninja world, but if you look for it, you can still find quite a few.

After all, visual obstruction cannot conceal the perception of chakra. The Second Tsuchikage's "Dustless Envelopment" can only block ordinary perception to a certain extent, but it has no effect on the perception of touching the ground.

"……what?"

Samui didn't understand.

Kiyoshi smiled slightly, slowly approached Samui, and kindly explained:

"To achieve invisibility, all you need is strong chakra control. Earth Release, Water Release, and other esoteric techniques can all do it. For example, water can turn into gas or solid, sometimes causing light to scatter, and sometimes causing light to distort, creating illusions."

Kiyoshi was giving Samui a crash course in this area.

There is no "Light" Release technique in the ninja world, but similar effects can be achieved through other ninjutsu.

Therefore, as long as water vapor is controlled by chakra, optical refraction can be achieved, which is the same principle as optical camouflage.

Seeing that Samui still didn't understand, Kiyoshi couldn't help but shake his head.

Indeed, each ninja village has a different focus, and each ninja has different strengths. Clearly, this area is Samui's blind spot.

"Sigh... I will explain it to you in detail."

As he spoke, water appeared in Kiyoshi's hand. His control skills, far exceeding those of ordinary ninjas, allowed the water to subtly refract the light passing through the glass.

His and Samui's figures began to blur and become indistinct.

then……

Kiyoshi looked down from his perspective.

You can just see Samui's protruding buttocks, which look just like a ripe peach.

And the human heart, whose toes are completely invisible.

Don't misunderstand, Kiyoshi is looking at Samui's meridian system and observing the flow of chakra within it.

This is the most basic principle for learning and explaining ninjutsu, and it can make your learning twice as effective.

Kiyoshi's hand slowly embraced Samui's waist, his fingertips touching a meridian system.

Samui stiffened slightly, and his azure eyes narrowed.

She breathed a sigh of relief as she watched her and Kiyoshi's figures become increasingly blurry.

“Your meridian system is different from that of ordinary people; it’s quite wide.”

Qing Si instructed.

A ninja's meridian system is determined at birth and is difficult to change later in life.

All we can do is constantly hone our will and broaden our horizons to cultivate our mental strength.

Then, through increasingly diligent practice, one strengthens the body and increases physical energy.

Both of these have upper limits and are constrained by the meridian system.

Only those ninjas with congenital abnormalities and bloodline limits will experience changes in their internal meridian system.

"Um……"

Samui's cheeks flushed.

From childhood to adulthood, she had never received one-on-one instruction in ninjutsu from anyone else.

If we had done this sooner, our strength would have increased significantly, and we might not have needed to be chosen as spies.
