It's normal to get a kaleidoscope as a first deposit of six yuan, right?

Chapter 106, Hot Spring Trip

“This thing…” Zhi Xue, braving the raging wind brought by the inexplicable energy in front of her, looked at Hidan, who was now standing in the center of the altar, enveloped in black energy.

His originally normal and somewhat thin body seemed to have been infused with energy. Although it wasn't a muscular physique full of explosiveness and aesthetics, it was much stronger than before, and his height even jumped to a head taller than Zhi Xue.

"I'm so high!" Hidan exclaimed maniacally, raising his hands high as he felt the evil god energy flowing through his body.

The altar of this evil god did not last long before its energy weakened and gradually dimmed on the ground.

At this moment, Hidan felt the power in his body gradually stabilize. He then kicked the edge of the altar and shattered the grid, pulling out a retractable, sharp black rod that he pointed at Shiseido.

"Hey, you! Even though you didn't offend me, they are still messengers of my Great Evil God Cult destined to spread in the human world. If you just take them back like that, I'll have to sacrifice you to the Evil God along with them!"

Looking at Hidan, who seemed extremely arrogant, Shiki almost burst out laughing.

You seem to have a slightly incorrect understanding of my abilities.

Seeing Hidan running towards her from a distance, Shiki activated her three-tomoe Sharingan, intending to have some fun with him.

Hidan, shirtless, swung a black rod that extended from his hand, its tip flashing with a cold light, and thrust it straight at Shisue.

boom!

Less than half a second later, Hidan flew out from a distance, smashing into the wall and creating a large, human-shaped crater. The black stick in his hand was broken in two by Shisuke and thrown to the ground.

He has a solid foundation in physical skills, but his strength and reaction time are lacking.

After feeling excruciating pain throughout his body, Hidan fell off the wall and twisted his neck to look in Shiseido's direction.

How can this kid attack so fast and with so much strength? Is he a taijutsu ninja?

Looking at Shiki's slender arm from a distance, which seemed so delicate it could be broken with a single snap, Hidan shook his head.

He's now under the protection of the evil god, how could he possibly lose?

At this moment, Hidan, who did not believe in evil, picked up a katana from the ground and slashed at Shizuru again, but he still flew out like a shooting star and crashed into the wall, leaving a deep shoe print on his cheek.

Hidan: (Angry)

Hidan, who had unwavering faith in the power of the evil god, launched multiple charges at Shiseido, but each time he was almost completely embedded in the wall and could not be pried off.

10 minutes later...

Hidan, feeling as if his body was about to fall apart, finally lost his confidence. Although the evil god had given him an incredibly powerful body and immortal life force, he couldn't withstand Shizuka slamming him against the wall time and time again.

Looking back at the wall he had smashed, it was neat and tidy with no excess, as if it had been carefully carved and studied by a master, full of an ancient artistic beauty.

"Oh dear, oh dear, big brother, you're already done after only 10 minutes?"

Looking at Zhixue's arrogant appearance in the distance, Hidan's forehead creased with a tic-tac-toe mark.

"Hey, you brat, don't push your luck! I haven't even fully unleashed Lord Jashin's power yet!" Hidan gritted his teeth, took a moment to recover, and then charged at Shizuru again.

Half an hour later... Hidan was thrown to the ground by Shiki like a dead dog. Shiki herself sat on the altar, picked up a purple rhombus-shaped crystal and carefully examined it with her Sharingan. Even in the dimly lit room, the crystal emitted a faint purple light, but her Sharingan could not seem to see anything special about it.

"System, this is what you've been looking for, right?"

Ding, yes, host, this stone can be sold to the system for 500 million taels, but it can also be used for collection.

After thinking for a moment, Zhi Xue decided to sell the stone to her own system. She didn't know much about the jewelry industry in the Naruto world, and if she took it to the market, she might get ripped off or get a low price. It would be more convenient and reassuring to sell it directly to the system and get 500 million.

However, while Zhixue was still trying to negotiate a friendly price with the system, Hidan had already carefully climbed to the corner of the wall and, once out of Zhixue's sight, frantically fled this place of trouble.

From then on, besides Orochimaru, another person with a psychological trauma towards Shixue appeared.

Shiyuki could sense Hidan's escape, but she did not stop him.

She just wanted everything to proceed according to the original plot. She didn't really care about these things. Beating up Hidan just now was just a spur-of-the-moment thing before completing the mission.

……

After completing the task with the evil god, Zhi Xue did not rush back to the Land of Rain, but instead bought a ticket at a nearby hot spring.

That's right, a hot spring trip with multiple people bathing, cough cough, this is definitely not some perk for her to see some older women!

10 minutes later...

"Little sister, have a comfortable soak~" The staff member put away the ticket and waved his hands happily as he watched Zhixue walk towards the changing room.

"Thank you for your blessing, sister." Through the crack in the door, Zhi Xue gave the staff a sweet, angelic smile before locking the door.

Seeing how adorable Zhixue was, the young lady sitting in the pavilion cupped her cheeks, looking forward to seeing how well-behaved Zhixue would look in her yukata.

Why is such a cute child wearing such a large robe?

In the changing room, Zhixue first habitually tossed the little nine-tailed fox into the training field, then took off all her clothes, revealing large expanses of her snow-white skin in the mirror.

After marveling at her slightly curvaceous figure, Zhixue wrapped a large bath towel around her body, revealing only her delicate, smooth shoulders and her fair, jade-like legs.

Stepping out of the changing room, Zhixue took a deep breath and walked along the old-fashioned corridor and long staircase toward the hot spring.

Along the way Zhi Xue walked, several girls, also wearing bath towels, cast curious glances at her.

"Whose child is this? So cute!"

"I don't know, but I really want to hug her and kiss her. It's such a waste not to play with her tender and innocent little face," a tall girl said with some regret.

When Zhixue ran to the hot spring, she realized that reality was not quite what she had imagined, and she even felt a little like asking for a refund.

It wasn't that the fog was too thick to see what was inside, but rather that her looks seemed to be too attractive to others, which led some older women in the neighborhood to frequently touch her inappropriately.

It was a natural hot spring complex surrounded by tall iron sheets beneath a trickling stream. The water in the pools, large and small, was crystal clear. Even with the ripples, you could see the graceful figure of the older sister soaking in the water. But above this clear surface, there seemed to be wisps of misty fog spreading in the air, carrying a refreshing fragrance that made people feel invigorated.

"Wow, little sister, you're so cute! How do you take care of your skin?"

"Oh my god, I wish I had a cute little sister like you. My brat is practically tearing the house apart. It's so much better to have a little sister..."

"Hmm, it feels so good, I want to..."

Feeling the touch on her arms and face in the hot spring, and the starry gazes from the older women surrounding her, Zhi Xue's lips twitched.

"Wait... calm down, I'm not a doll, and I'm not... um!" Suddenly attacked by the face wash, Zhi Xue was at a loss and didn't know what to do. Feeling the soft touch and warm body temperature, two wisps of steam couldn't help but rise from Zhi Xue's ears.

"Wow, so cute! Come here and have a hug from your big sister!"

"No, I want one too! How can you keep such a cute little guy all to yourself?"

Stop Snow: ...

Chapter 107, Returning to Konoha

After enduring some teasing and comforting words from the older sister in the crowded hot spring, Zhi Xue quickly ran back and asked the staff to change her room to a quiet single hot spring pool.

Soon after, Zhi Xue went to her own room, and the blush on her cheeks gradually faded.

"Sigh, a single room is so much better. The multi-person bath is too scary. I almost suffocated from the water." Zhi Xue exhaled a breath of stale air, then sat on the stone in the hot spring pool. After gently testing the water temperature with her toes, she slowly immersed her petite body into the water.

Leaning against the edge, feeling the gentle and comfortable sensation of the hot spring pool, Zhixue's body and mind were completely relaxed.

"Hmm, the water temperature is just right, not too cold or too cold." With nothing else to do, Zhi Xuehua took out 10 taels of silver and retrieved a bottle of iced cola from the system shop.

Even though it's autumn, she still insists on having an iced drink! That's the sense of security that Hashirama's cells give her!

After unscrewing the cap, Zhixue gulped down half a 500ml bottle of cola in one go, then let out a small burp.

"Hmm... this is life."

After spending several hours in the private hot spring bath, Zhixue emerged, changed her clothes, and set off on the road back to the Land of Rain with her belongings.

Walking along the path back to the Land of Rain, Zhixue glanced at the map and pondered for a moment.

"We'll be passing through the Land of Fire on our way, shall we stop and take a look..."

Zhi Xue breathed a sigh of relief as she recalled her brother who always doted on her.

"It wouldn't hurt to go and check on my brother and the Uchiha clan now, as long as we don't get caught. Also, give this to Sasuke." Zhixue took out a black sword hilt from her pocket.

This is the Thunder God's Sword. After acquiring the Kusanagi Sword, this one is practically useless. Although it looks cool, like a lightsaber, she's not really used to using it and isn't good at lightning techniques.

The journey from the Land of Hot Water to Konoha was not far. After passing through the border checkpoint of Konoha, Zhixue arrived near the villages and towns surrounding Konoha in less than two days.

Looking at the cave in the jungle with the large "sealed" sign, Zhixue sighed.

"So this is the place. It was quite a memorable adventure." Zhi Xue didn't intend to sneak in and take a look. She simply looked around at the scenery before turning to leave.

"Huh, is that the girl who was with Tianzang that time?" Xuejian, holding a broom, said with some surprise as she watched Zhixue leave in the distance.

"You are..." Looking at Yukimi who was looking at her from afar, Shiki couldn't remember who this little girl was for a moment. Did rushing around too much in the past really affect her memory? But now that she had Hashirama cells, she shouldn't have this worry anymore, right?

After meeting Zhixue, Xuejian and the two little girls sat together on the nearby tree stumps and started talking.

Although they only met once, Xuejian's life was saved by Zhixue's brother, Uchiha Shisui. Logically, Xuejian should treat Zhixue, the younger sister of her savior, well.

"Oh, so you're Yamato's older sister. I think I vaguely remember you," Zhixue said, as if suddenly realizing something.

"Ah, I guess so. Wait, Zhixue, how did you know that Tianzang is now called Yamato? You should have disappeared a month ago during the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage." Xuejian looked at Zhixue in disbelief.

Zhi Xue scratched her head awkwardly when she heard Xue Jian's question.

"This... is a secret. Remember not to tell anyone I've been here, not even the Hokage," Zhi Xue said, sounding quite serious.

"Mmm." Xuejian nodded obediently.

Zhixue is also a friend, and friends should respect each other and keep secrets.

Over the next period of time, Zhixue learned about the current situation of Konoha from Xuejian.

The situation of all the major clans, including the Uchiha, is currently very stable. Although the internal damage to Konoha is not serious, it is still in the process of recovery and recuperation.

According to rumors circulating among the ordinary villagers, Uchiha Shisui became a great hero in the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage, defeating the Nine-Tailed Fox and protecting the village. This not only greatly increased Shisui's reputation and the villagers' goodwill, but also brought many positive effects to the Uchiha clan.

The rumors that the Uchiha clan was the instigator of the Nine-Tails' attack, which had been circulating for many years, have also been debunked.

With Konoha's concessions, the Uchiha clan made many changes, which gradually improved their lives.

"Hmm, as expected, Konoha is much more stable now that Danzo is dead..." Shiyuki murmured upon hearing about the current situation in Konoha.

"Who is Danzo?" As if hearing Shiyu's murmur, Yuki asked with some confusion, as she didn't seem to have heard of this name when she was in Konoha recently.

"Ah, Danzo, well, let's not talk about Danzo. He has nothing to do with life nowadays."

"Oh."

After chatting with the little girl for a while, Xuejian glanced at the sun in the sky, said goodbye to Zhixue, stood up, and took a broom to sweep the graves of the deceased members of the Ibri clan.

Fortunately, the leaf's sealing technique controlled her tendency to be easily blown away by the wind; otherwise, Yukimi would have gone crazy spending all day alone in a stuffy cave.
