Ophis emerged from under Xin's raincoat, her gaze shifting between Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya.
Tsunade's eyes lit up at the sight of the stunningly beautiful Ophis.
Jiraiya leaned in curiously, "Is this your pet?"
"So cute! And it's a girl too-the voice is so sweet."
Of the three, only Orochimaru's body tensed.
When Ophis had glanced at him earlier, he'd felt like a terrifying predator had its eyes on him.
It was a sensation Orochimaru had never experienced before.
"Stay away from me, frog guy. The stench of frogs on you is even stronger than on that guy named Minato."
It seemed that tailed beasts naturally didn't get along with the creatures from the three great sanctuaries.
As soon as Jiraiya got a little closer, his eyes filled with not-so-innocent curiosity, Ophis immediately became wary.
"Pfft~~~"
Jiraiya, who had been about to ask where Xin got such a pet, was thoroughly taken aback by Ophis's words.
Frog stench?
Do he really smell like frogs?
How could I, the great Toad Sage Jiraiya, smell like a frog?
"Hahaha, that's hilarious!"
Tsunade laughed so hard she almost choked, not even noticing that she sprayed bits of noodles all over Jiraiya.
Jiraiya's expression grew even more pitiful.
"Tsunade, it's bad enough that a pet is insulting me, but did you have to spit on me too?!"
"Hahaha, serves you right!"
Tsunade laughed with no regard for appearances.
Orochimaru managed a faint smile, squinting slightly as he looked at Ophis coiling in Xin's arms. "This isn't just a pet-it's a summoning beast, right, Xin-kun?"
Judging by the eerie feeling he'd just experienced, Orochimaru was confident that the white snake in Xin's arms was no ordinary pet but a powerful summoning beast.
The kind of beast that, if you mistook it for a pet, could swat you to death before you even realized what was happening.
"Yes, Ophis is my summoning beast, not a pet."
Xin stroked Ophis's glosy scale, smiling. "Just call me Xin, no need to be so formal."
"Alright then, Xin it is."
Orochimaru, who hadn't yet walked the path of darkness, wasn't that difficult to get along with.
