Vegapunk shook his head, declining. "I still need to stay here for now."
"For one thing, I can use the World Government's resources and power to keep advancing some of my research and plans."
"For another, I can stall them from here and keep the World Government appeased."
"If they're content to wait for me to finish the Seraphim Project, that will buy you time to expand your forces and carry out your infiltration plans, Mentor."
"I can also lend Dragon's Revolutionary Army a hand."
"Besides, now that I've signed a Contract with you, Mentor, my safety is no longer an issue."
"If my life is ever in danger, I can be safely teleported away at any time."
"That makes leaving even less urgent, doesn't it?"
Staying here had plenty of advantages, aside from having every move watched.
The World Government had ruled this land for over eight hundred years. The resources in its hands, especially the things it kept hidden from the public, were beyond imagining.
"Is that so?"
After listening, Xunjing nodded thoughtfully. "It's your choice. I won't stop you. Stay here, then."
"But you need to master the Shadow Clone Technique as soon as possible. I have research that needs your help."
"Without you, the Kekkei Genkai Potion will take much longer to develop."
"There's also another technical project I need your help with."
Only once the Kekkei Potion was ready would the combat strength of Konoha's Ninja truly rise.
That would also help him unify the territory over there sooner.
"I understand. I'll work on mastering those two training methods and the technique as quickly as possible."
"But first, you'll need to place a seal on me to hide my chakra fluctuations and presence."
"Otherwise, the World Government's people here are bound to notice."
