Chapter 146: Half-Immortal Li Jiexuan
"Heaven's True Dragon Star Lord above, Earth's Divine Child Jiexuan below—fortune-telling and divination, free of charge!"
Li Jiexuan grabbed Naruto in one swift motion. "Big brother, I see your brows tightly knit, like a sharp blade piercing your heart. You must be burdened with deep worries!"
Silence fell over the scene…
Naruto was completely stunned. What was this three-year-old kid even talking about? He didn't understand a word of it, yet somehow it gave off an inexplicably impressive vibe.
It felt profound, even if he didn't get it!
That was exactly the effect Li Jiexuan wanted.
With a faint smile, Li Jiexuan pulled Naruto onto a small stool and seated him properly. In a mysterious tone, he said, "Judging by your face, you must have lost both your father and mother at a young age!"
Naruto froze slightly. Whenever that subject came up, he couldn't help but think of the parents he had never even met. It was a lingering regret in his heart.
Hearing that, Naruto believed him at least a little.
"Looking further, your forehead is broad and full, your chin square and firm. In time, you are destined for great achievements!"
"Great achievements?" Naruto scratched his head in confusion.
"You will become the Seventh Hokage in the future!" Li Jiexuan declared firmly. There wasn't a single lie in that statement.
"But why the Seventh Hokage?" Naruto scratched his head again, puzzled. "The Fifth is Grandma Tsunade. Who's the Sixth?"
"Your mentor, Kakashi!"
There was a small trick in the art of swindling: use precise small numbers. For example, telling someone they've won 1,008,000 yen—the extra eight thousand is what breaks down their psychological defenses. After all, such an exact number must mean it's real…
What made it even more terrifying was that Li Jiexuan wasn't lying to Naruto. Everything he said was the truth!
Naruto's grin stretched from ear to ear. It was the first time anyone had so confidently declared that he would become Hokage. His trust in Li Jiexuan instantly rose to eighty percent.
And with that eighty percent secured, it was finally time to get to the real point.
"However, on your path to becoming Hokage, there will be a small obstacle. That obstacle is Yakumo Kurama, the direct genjutsu disciple of Kurenai Yuhi!" Li Jiexuan frowned slightly, subtly moving his fingers as if calculating something. "According to my divination, her power will destroy Konoha and kill everyone in the village."
Hearing this, Naruto grew extremely anxious. He had just witnessed Yakumo Kurama use a lightning strike to destroy the Hokage's office building. He believed Li Jiexuan's words completely.
Naruto grabbed Li Jiexuan's hand. "Little master, how can I break this predicament?"
"How to break it?"
Li Jiexuan's right hand twitched faintly as he put on an air of mystique before replying, "The reason Yakumo Kurama is so terrifying lies entirely in her genjutsu talent. If her Bloodline Limit is extracted, then there will be nothing to worry about!"
Naruto scratched his head in confusion. "But I've never heard of anything that can extract a Bloodline Limit…"
"Wrong, wrong, wrong!"
Li Jiexuan stood up, stepping in a pattern resembling the Seven Stars while striking poses like the Five Animal Fist. From his robes, he pulled out a bloodline extraction syringe. "With this syringe, a single injection is all it takes to extract any Bloodline Limit!"
Just as he said this, a cold voice suddenly rang out.
"Where did this little swindler come from, daring to scam people in Konoha?"
Neji Hyuga stepped forward with a look of disdain, positioning himself in front of Naruto and raising both palms defensively.
"Neji Hyuga?"
Faced with this unexpected interruption, Li Jiexuan frowned. If Naruto was the easiest person to fool in the entire series, then Neji Hyuga was the most stubborn of the Twelve Rookie Nine. As someone who firmly believed in fate and bore the Caged Bird Seal, he didn't believe in miracles at all.
"Heh, big brother, it's fine if you don't believe me. But why stop others from believing?" Li Jiexuan grinned lightly. "If you're willing, I might even be able to help you break the Caged Bird Seal."
