This was Jiang Xi's second login. Compared to the Dragon Ball universe, only a little over two years had passed in the Naruto World. There was still about half a year left before the end of her second login. In contrast to her first login, Jiang Xi's life during this second Login was undoubtedly simpler. Due to changes in the plot, Orochimaru had not yet defected from the village, allowing Jiang Xi to train alongside him. Orochimaru truly lived up to his reputation as one of the top teachers in the Naruto World. Compared to the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was nominally a master of ninjutsu, the Sannin represented the pinnacle of teaching in the Ninja World. After all, the Sannin's growth was largely attributed to the three Holy Lands, not Sarutobi Hiruzen. Under Orochimaru's guidance, Jiang Xi's strength had reached the level of a Jōnin in just two years, rivaling even some Elite Jōnin. In the real world, this would already be considered a Second-Tier Expert. Of course, for Jiang Xi, the most significant aspect was not just the increase in strength. More importantly, it was the enhancement of her Byakugan. During this time, Orochimaru had cultivated over a thousand pairs of Byakugan through his cell experiments. All these Byakugan were fused together, further amplifying Jiang Xi's own. While the improvement wasn't as dramatic as the first time, the purity of her Byakugan had reached an unimaginable level. According to Orochimaru's research, the purity of her Byakugan now surpassed that of Hyūga Hiashi, the head of the Hyūga clan. The most direct manifestation of this was her long-range vision. An ordinary Byakugan could see within a radius of one kilometer, and while this could be improved through training, the maximum range was typically only about three to five kilometers. However, Jiang Xi's Byakugan could now see up to twenty kilometers, and this distance was still increasing. As her Byakugan fusion progressed, the range would undoubtedly grow even further. In addition to the basic abilities of an ordinary Byakugan, Jiang Xi's Byakugan had gradually developed some unique powers. For instance, she could emit a powerful pressure from her Byakugan, which would inevitably affect those weaker than her. Another ability she had gained was the capacity to read minds. Yes, Jiang Xi's Byakugan had faintly acquired the ability to perceive thoughts. In a large laboratory, Orochimaru was tinkering with various instruments while Jiang Xi was assisting him with his work. "Xi, it seems your eyes have reached their limit. Why not explore the power of Hashirama? You should know, it's a truly miraculous power." Orochimaru's hands continued to move deftly as he spoke, his gaze shifting to Jiang Xi with a smile. "That doesn't suit me, Orochimaru Sama." "Besides, Orochimaru Sama, recklessly researching the power of the First Hokage is a taboo. And you, have you started human experiments again?" "Orochimaru Sama, are you planning to leave?" Jiang Xi smiled as she spoke, her Byakugan fixed on Orochimaru. She paused for a moment before continuing. "What a troublesome ability." "Xi, it's a pity. The bloodline genes of your Hyūga Clan seem incomplete. Your eyes appear unable to progress further. At their current level, they can't compare to the Mangekyō Sharingan of the Uchiha clan!" Looking at Jiang Xi's pure white eyes, Orochimaru licked his lips and spoke with a grin. "Is that so?" "That might not be the case!" Jiang Xi smiled, choosing not to dwell on the previous topic. "Oh? It seems that you have more information that I don't know about. That's truly something to look forward to." Orochimaru's eyes lit up, and he licked his lips again. During this period, he had ceased his research on the Byakugan. The enhanced Byakugan was impressive, but it still paled in comparison to the Mangekyō and the power of Senju Hashirama. But now, it seemed there was an unexpected surprise. Over the past few years, Orochimaru had personally witnessed Jiang Xi's miracles. Though she hadn't said much, this revelation excited him. "Orochimaru Sama, how has your strength been recently?" Jiang Xi suddenly asked. "My strength? I am probably stronger than that old man now. But it might still take some time. Xi, are you planning to make a move?" Orochimaru's eyes sparkled with excitement. "How about a month? In a month, I can take you to see the truth of this world. It's the most closely guarded secret of our Hyūga Clan. Perhaps by then, you'll change your current perspective." Jiang Xi spoke leisurely. "A month?" "Fine!" "The secrets of this world? I'm truly looking forward to it." Orochimaru's eyes gleamed as he nodded with a smile. ... A month passed in the blink of an eye. During this month, a significant event unfolded in Konoha Village. Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, was discovered by the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, conducting inhumane human experiments within the village. The Third Hokage personally intervened to capture Orochimaru, but the attempt failed, and Orochimaru escaped from Konoha. Along with him fled his student, Konoha Special Jōnin. Orochimaru was labeled an S-rank missing-nin of Konoha, while his student was designated an A-Rank missing-nin. (They didn't know that his Student is Hyuga Xi as she died on Hyuga Night Incident and would have made a different getup) This incident sent shockwaves throughout the Ninja World. It also compounded the troubles of Konoha Village, which was already suffering from a talent shortage. For a time, the other four great ninja villages began to stir. Fortunately, since the war had long since ended, the losses from the Third Great Ninja War had been severe. Except for the Hidden Cloud Village, the other villages were not in a strong position. Moreover, one of the Sannins, Jiraiya, had returned to Konoha. In the end, they only stirred but did not escalate into war. ... At the border of the Land of Fire. "Orochimaru Sama, you're quite decisive. But Jiraiya Sama has caught up. What do you plan to do?" Jiang Xi chuckled, her gaze turning to Orochimaru. "Xi, don't underestimate me. I haven't been idle these past few years. You'll find out soon." Orochimaru smiled faintly. Moments later, a figure caught up. "Orochimaru!" Jiraiya's angry voice rang out. "Jiraiya, you finally caught up. But do you think you can stop me?" Orochimaru licked his lips, smiling as he spoke. "Why?" Jiraiya's voice was filled with both anger and confusion, his eyes fixed on Orochimaru. "Konoha is too decayed. This old windmill can no longer provide the power to turn me." Orochimaru chuckled. "You Bastard!" Jiraiya grew even more furious. He charged forward. "Jiraiya, recklessness is not the mark of a true shinobi. And you, the dropout, can't do anything." Orochimaru smiled, easily handling Jiraiya. "Boom!" "Rumble!" A battle erupted in the forest. Jiraiya held nothing back this time, but without the time to use Sage Mode, he was ultimately defeated. "Orochimaru Sama, you really didn't hold back. Jiraiya Sama will probably be bedridden for a few days." Jiang Xi's cheerful voice rang out. "If I didn't defeat him, we wouldn't be able to proceed. Xi, I've been looking forward to the truth of the world you mentioned for a long time. Don't disappoint me." Orochimaru smiled, his gaze fixed on Jiang Xi. "Of course! Orochimaru Sama!" Jiang Xi smiled as she spoke. Their figures quietly departed. As for Jiraiya, Konoha's Anbu quickly retrieved him. ... (End of Chapter)
