Divination?

Iwasa Xiu's brows furrowed even more. He couldn't believe it and said, feeling very ridiculous: "You want to use divination to determine whether I will be in danger?"

Is this too childish?

"Since you believe that I can use divination to find your father's forehead protector, why don't you believe in the fortune and misfortune that come from divination?"

Xie Mao replied indifferently. He did not continue to argue with Iwasa Kyū and asked instead: "Do you have a crystal pendant chain at home?"

"Yes, yes..."

"Then go try it."

Xie Mao made up his mind, Iwasa Xiu struggled internally, and finally took Xie Mao into his home with some hesitation.

In the dim room, Xie Mao saw that Iwasa Hyu's younger brother Iwasa Go had fallen asleep sitting on a chair in the hall, snoring loudly.

He was probably waiting for his brother to come home, and he couldn't help but feel sleepy after waiting for too long.

Xie Mao and Iwasa Xiu had a tacit understanding and didn't make a sound. As ninjas, they could make it completely invisible to ordinary people just by thinking about it.

Xie Mao followed Iwasa Xiu into a small room silently. The clothes and furniture in the small room were all in a messy manner, falling everywhere, and there was almost no place to set foot.

Iwasa Xiu, who lit the lamp, looked at Xie Mao with an apologetic look, then came to the desk, took out a small brown crystal chain and handed it to Xie Mao.

"I still need paper and pen." Xie Mao whispered.

"Then sit down at the desk."

Xie Maoyi sat down and wrote on the paper "Iwasa Xiu will be in danger when investigating Ichimukui" under Iwasa Xiu's gaze. Then he suspended the crystal on the paper, closed his eyes, and read silently on the paper seven times.

Written divination statements.

His expression became calm and solemn, and the crystal he held in his left hand hung motionless. In the wonderfully quiet environment and Iwasa Xiu's curious eyes, the brown crystal slowly swayed slightly, working together with the chain.

There was a small clockwise swing.

Xie Mao, who had opened his eyes again at some point, looked at the movement of the crystal, and said in a voice that still had an ethereal feeling: "The result of the divination is that there is danger, but not serious."

Iwasa Shu stared blankly, hesitated for a while and then said: "That's it?"

Tsk, you have a talent for provocation... Xie Mao said without emotion: "The results of the divination are very clear. You don't need to be too afraid. As long as you are careful, your life will not be in danger."

"But..." Iwasa Xiu was obviously not at ease with such a crude divination.

When Iwasa Xiu hesitated, Xie Mao looked at his performance completion and digestion progress and found that there was no change in either.

This means that Iwasa Shuu did not give the feedback he should have at all.

This is not possible... Xie Mao's thoughts flickered and he said: "If you can't believe it, we can use some simple methods to verify it."

"You...said." Although he still didn't quite believe in Xie Mao's divination just now, Iwasa Xiu was already more in awe.

The corners of Xie Mao's mouth turned up a little inexplicably, and he said: "You can prepare two cups of tea, put some bad and invisible things in one of them, and then I will use the divination method just now to tell the difference."

"...Okay." Iwasaki agreed after thinking for a while, then turned around and went out to prepare, more eagerly than Xie Mao imagined.

Iwasa Xiu was surprised by Xie Mao's calm and confident attitude, so he became more curious.

Soon Iwasa Xiu prepared two cups of Sunagakure Village's unique strong tea, which was very dark in color and very rich in fragrance.

After the two cups of strong tea were placed on the desk, Xie Mao placed the crystal at a position where it was about to touch the liquid surface and used the pendulum method again. Soon he saw the crystal moving slightly clockwise.

Divination means there is nothing wrong with this cup of tea.

It seems to be another cup... In order to win Iwasa Kyū's trust and show the difference in divination, Xie Mao put the crystal on another cup of tea and divined again.

But the result is still clockwise, which means that two cups of tea are no problem!

After being slightly surprised, Xie Mao, who believed in his own divination, looked at Iwasa Xiu and asked for confirmation: "There is nothing wrong with these two cups of tea?"

"Yes." Iwasa Xiu pushed a cup of tea to Xie Mao, picked up another cup and took a big sip, "There is no need to waste it. I am now... willing to believe in your divination."

Xie Mao picked up the strong tea in front of him and took a small sip first. He found that the taste was silky and tasted good. After he took another sip, he nodded slightly and said, "But I can feel that you are still hesitant."

"...Yes, I'm still undecided." Iwasa Xiu felt as if he and the red-haired boy in front of him had changed identities. It seemed that the other person was a mature adult, while he was a child with no independent opinions.

"You have time to think about it slowly. It is best to wait until my Chuunin exam is over. I will cooperate with you in the investigation." Xie Mao said while drinking tea.

"What, the chuunin exam!?" Iwasa Shu's voice couldn't help but grow louder. Although he quickly suppressed it again, he still couldn't hide his shock.

So you are already a genin?

How old are you!?

Judging from the last fight, your taijutsu can only touch the edge of genin... Iwasa Shu couldn't believe it at all, and couldn't help but ask: "Is your ninjutsu or genjutsu very powerful?"

Xie Mao knew what Iwasa Xiu meant, he shook his head slightly and said: "No, I am a puppet master."

Puppet Master...I see, that's why his physical skills are relatively weak, and he is not sensitive enough to Ninjutsu...Iwasa Shu frowned and thought for a few seconds, but still couldn't accept that Xie Mao, who was only seven or eight years old, could already participate in the middle school.

It’s time to take the endurance test.

Is this the so-called genius? How good is his puppetry skills before the village allows him to take the exam.

But looking at Xie Mao's calm expression, Iwasa Xiu could only reluctantly accept this fact, but he immediately felt that the delay was too long: "The Chuunin Exam should not start until the middle of next month, and there is still a lot of time before then..."

"I will not take part in the public chunin exams. I will set off for my own exam in a week at most. I need to prepare well during this time, and it will also give you time to think and prepare."

Xie Mao drank the strong tea in the cup, ignored Iwasa Xiu who looked shocked, and asked instead: "Will you take part in this chunin exam?"

"There is such a plan that the chunin can have more mission choices." Iwasa Shu hesitated, "But I originally planned to wait until next year to try again. If I participate this time, I won't be sure."

"In this case, you can choose to postpone it and hide your strength."

Xie Mao stood up and said, "It's time for me to go back."

It's already very late.

"I send you."

The two of them walked out of the room one after another and went out silently. In the night wind, Iwasa Xiu took a deep breath: "I will think about it carefully. In addition, I will never tell others about you."

"Yeah." Xie Mao waved his hand and walked towards his home.

Iwasa Xiu returned to the hall of his home, covered his brother with a quilt, then sat next to him and fell into deep thought for a long time.

Xie Mao, who was walking on the road, looked at his system.

[Performance completion: 2.1%]

[Digestion progress: 80.63%]

Both progresses have improved slightly, which is not only the accumulation of several days, but also the effect of divination that has just been demonstrated in front of Iwasa Xiu.

It's really stingy. If there were no double rewards from temporary tasks, God knows how long it would take me to accumulate 100% digestion progress... Xie Mao couldn't help complaining.

It is really difficult to play a fortune teller in Sunagakure Village with a "scorpion" character.

Even if I take it slowly, I should be able to be promoted within two or three months. What I have to do is to play as many roles as possible and be promoted as early as possible... Xie Mao began to think about how to make the one-tailed Jinchūriki Bunfuku give the one-tailed one.

Chakra.

This is not a simple matter, it is not something he would just run over and say, "Old man, give me some chakra" and they will give it to you.

You have to be roundabout, you have to be tactful, you have to adapt to the other person's ideas.

Xie Mao thought about it and walked back to his door. Looking at the dark room, his mood became heavier.

Taking out the spare key placed in a hidden place next to the door, Xie Mao opened the door and saw the hall that was no longer dirty.
Chapter completed!
