After a while, the group finally digested the shocking news.
Minato and Nawaki were left questioning their own morals, while Jiraiya's eyes gleamed with inspiration as he scribbled furiously. Orochimaru, on the other hand, had a peculiar look in his eyes as he gazed at Xin.
Orochimaru had figured it out Xin was doing this on purpose, determined to ruin the Third Kazekage's reputation.
Even if Xin was making it all up, Orochimaru had no choice but to believe it.
And when he spread the story, he'd tell it exactly like Xin had.
In normal circumstances, tarnishing the reputation of a village's Kage would be frowned upon. But now, they were enemies. The Sand had even attacked the Land of Fire-why should they hold back?
There was no need to be polite. The more they could smear the Third Kazekage, the better. Once the story spread, how would the Sand Village's ninjas and civilians view their leader?
Forget being the "strongest Kazekage"-he'd be known as the "Pole-Dancing Kazekage" instead.
Given his expertise with iron sand, crafting a pole should be a breeze for him.
No one here was a fool. Aside from Minato and Nawaki, who were left with their minds blown and feeling morally compromised, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru all understood that Xin was fabricating the story.
However, Tsunade, once she realized what was going on, didn't want to expose Xin's lie. She couldn't anyway, but holding it in made her uncomfortable.
The most perplexing thing was how did this kid know about such unsavory things? Had he been to those places?
The thought stunned Tsunade.
Orochimaru, with a sly smile, asked, "Xin, how did you come to know about such things?"
"Hmm?" Xin frowned in confusion, and upon seeing Tsunade's shocked expression, he realized she had misunderstood.
There's no way I, Uzuki Xin, would ever go to such places! At least not in this lifetime. "Oh, that? I learned about it from one of Orochimaru-senpai's books."
"Pfft~~~"
Orochimaru was immediately caught off guard.
Tsunade's eyes widened in shock.
Jiraiya looked up at Orochimaru, astonished, with an expression that screamed, "So that's the kind of person you are."
"..."
What's with that reaction!?
"Does Orochimaru-sensei like going to those kinds of places?" Nawaki asked curiously.
Orochimaru's eyes filled with a cold, murderous intent as he glared at Nawaki, causing him to cower behind Tsunade.
Taking a deep breath, Orochimaru calmly stated, "I don't own such books."
"And I've never lent any books to Xin, so it has nothing to do with me."
"How could that be," Xin said, pointing at Nawaki. "Back when we were stationed at the morgue, Nawaki brought out some books, saying they were from you. One of them was a travelogue, which contained content even more explicit than what I just described."
Now Orochimaru was truly speechless.
Because the books Nawaki had were indeed taken from him.
But he never read such books, let alone kept any.
"There's no need to explain. I understand."
