"What do you mean?"
"You know that the shaman fight began in Tokyo seven years ago, right?"
"yeah. that mandarin bastard Lian ended up winning," said Rei.
"Barely. Anyway, he contacted Kami-sama. and was told, in as many words, to go f*ck himself. Kami-sama told him that he was waiting for a specific shaman, one whose power surpassed any who had gathered in Tokyo."
"You can't be saying what I think you're saying."
"I've been keeping my eye on you for a long time, kid. You can do things with your subpar spirit (no offense Naruto) that I can't even pull off with Amidamaru here. I've watched you do that 'Art of the Doppelganger' trick that Naruto was once so well known for. Were I to integrate with him, such a feat would be out of the question. You seem to not only utilize a spirit's abilities, but enhance them. And I've never seen any one do that besides you."
"I think he is saying what you think he's saying," commented Naruto.
"No f*cking way," breathed Rei, slipping back into English.
"Of course, you are still relatively weak, for all the natural power you have. It'll take a lot of training to achieve the strength necessary for contact with Kami-Sama." Suddenly, the cell phone clipped to Yoh's pocket began to ring. He flipped it open and brought it up to his ear. "Hey.MANTA? What the hell are you doing in the states? Alice Vail middle school?.Craycroft and Broadway? Alright. I'll be there in half an hour." He hung up, and looked at Rei. "you're coming with me. You need to see what real shaman work is like." In an aside to Mara, he added, "cover for him. He's seeing a movie at the mall, with you. That should give us about two hours."
