Chapter 68 Even without these eyes, I can still protect Konoha! (Ch 68)

“Mr. Tsuchikage, after all, you are the Kage of a village, so you should get up first.”
Haruki raised his finger, and several wooden stakes lifted Ohnoki up from the ground, and he stood on the ground again, and then he said, “This Chunin Exam concerns the ninja world, and this is not a problem that can be solved with just an apology.”
“Whether I can forgive you is not important. What is important is whether Konoha and the ninja world can forgive you.”
Oonoki’s thoughts were seen through by Harumitsu, and he wanted to use his fame to avoid the cost?
How can such a good thing happen? Do you really think you are a saint?
The Raikage and Hanzo stood on a high place as they watched.
“Why do you have to do this, Lord Tsuchikage? You are really asking for trouble.” Hanzo was happy in his heart, but his face still showed a look of deep emotion.
“This old man used to like to assign dangerous missions to hired ninjas.”
“It’s no surprise that he does something like this now, he deserves it!” The Sandaime Raikage felt so enlightened that he wanted to laugh out loud.
When Ohnoki used the Dust Release technique just now, he wanted to kill both him and Harukitsu at the same time, otherwise he wouldn’t have hated Ohnoki so much.
It was originally a plastic alliance, and Ohnoki did this. It would be strange if the Third Raikage didn’t sell him out.
Harumi’s answer made Ōnoki feel miserable.
Is it really useless?
“I understand, old man.”
“In that case, I am willing to use my original Rock Release Ninjutsu as compensation.”
“Rock Style: Light and Heavy Rock Technique, A-rank advanced ninjutsu, how about it?”
“Once you learn it, you will be able to master the ability to fly like me.”
It seems that Iwagakure has suffered a loss, but as the creator of this technique, Ōnoki naturally knows how difficult it is to practice this technique. So far, he is the only one in Iwagakure Village who has mastered it.
Not only is it difficult, but it is also an exclusive ninjutsu that is used in conjunction with Dust Release.
Even if it was given to Konoha, it wouldn’t be of much use to the other party.
Without the combination of large-scale destructive ninjutsu, Kong’s ability to fly can only change the local battlefield at most, and it is completely meaningless in large-scale battles between villages.
Konoha does not have any ninja with superb earth escape skills, so if one wants to master it, it would be tantamount to starting over from scratch and wasting precious youth.
Kill two birds with one stone!
Haruki was silent for a while, as if hesitating, but finally nodded in agreement, then looked at Hanzo and the Sandaime Raikage.
“Please ask Lord Raikage and Lord Amekage to serve as witnesses.” Haruki even quickly drew up a scroll and signed his name and fingerprints on it.
Ohnoki was also smart enough to leave a written note.
All of this was seen by Hei Jue who was hiding in the dark. He possessed the body of Bai Jue and his mentality was broken.
Madara told him to better bring back Haruki’s Mangekyō, and he did so.
Originally, according to the script he planned, he would control the Five-Tails Jinchuriki to go berserk and put Uchiha Mikoto in danger, and Harumitsu would definitely come to the rescue.
When Harumitsu was dealing with the Five-Tails, Ōnoki and the Raikage went straight forward to besiege Harumitsu. Harumitsu would inevitably be unable to restrain the Five-Tails and would have to fight one against three.
Mikoto and Kasumi make another sacrifice to allow Haruki to open the Mangekyo.
Even if he opened the Kaleidoscope, even if he didn’t die, he would be seriously injured. At that time, he only needed to use the Black Hand to dig out the heart and finish him off.
But…but how could Haruki be so naive that he had no defense against Ōnoki at all? Even when he was trapped by the earth escape technique, he still insisted on using chakra to suppress the tailed beast!
The originally perfect script was completely changed in its direction because of Qingguang’s kind heart.
If only the Five-Tails was sealed, and Ōnoki and the Sandaime Raikage continued to attack Haruki, he would be able to find an opportunity and at most be exposed, but he only needed to find a chance to fake his death in the future.
But…but why did the Raikage suddenly quit?!
Now, how do you expect Qingguang, who has just opened his Kaleidoscope and is close to full status, to cut it?!
Asi!
Good news, he has completed half of the task assigned by Madara and allowed Haruki to open the Mangekyo.
But just completing it, what’s the difference between this and aiding the enemy!
Seeing that the plan had failed, Black Zetsu, no matter how reluctant he was, had no choice but to return to the Land of Grass, underground under the Kamnubi Bridge, with White Zetsu.
The originally dark cave was now lit by candlelight.
Because Ah Fei wanted to feed Nagato, and he almost choked Nagato to death several times after being slandered by him before.
Nagato is now much taller.
“Ah, Jue, you’re back?” A Fei paused with the palm-sized rice spoon in his hand and looked up towards the top of the cave.
Madara also opened his eyes: “Has Haruki’s Mangekyō Sharingan activated?”
If my own conscious clone carries out the mission, then it will definitely be foolproof. The only thing that is uncertain is whether Haruki has awakened the Mangekyo.
Black Zetsu half-knelt on the ground and said with a stiff face: “It is activated. At present, I only know that it has awakened an ability that can ignite golden flames on other people’s bodies, which has the effect of healing wounds.”
Madara frowned, with doubt in his eyes: “Golden flame, heal wounds?”
Among the Mangekyō eye techniques that the Uchiha clan has awakened since ancient times, only two have appeared that are related to flames.
Amaterasu, who can release black flames and burn everything, and Kagutsuchi, who can control Amaterasu.
What is the golden flame? It’s healing. How come it is the exact opposite of Amaterasu?
Never mind, just feel it for yourself.
With his palms open, Madara’s meaning was very clear, but Black Zetsu was still half-kneeling there, with his head lowered, motionless.
It’s like I didn’t see it.
“Give me your eyes.” Seeing that Hei Zetsu lowered his head, he thought that he must be afraid of his master, so he didn’t care.
“Um… Madara-sama, the Mangekyō Sharingan is still in Haruki’s possession…”
“What do you mean?” Madara looked intimidating without even getting angry, his brows furrowed.
Black Zetsu then recounted everything that had happened. The more he spoke, the angrier Madara became.
But at the same time, it feels reasonable.
He pounded his fists on the stone chair.
“Damn Senju Tobirama, damn Wood Release experiment, even the descendants of Uchiha are affected by Hashirama’s cells!?”
He didn’t think it was the fault of Hashirama’s cells at all. The fault was all on that damn Senju Tobirama, if he hadn’t insisted on taking the lead in conducting the Wood Release experiment.
Then Uchiha Harumitsu couldn’t be so kind.
It was okay for him to transplant Hashirama’s cells because he was gifted and was on par with Hashirama. He also awakened the Rinnegan, which was enough to suppress the instincts of Hashirama’s cells.
But Afei, the White Zetsu who was cultivated with Hashirama’s cells, has proved this point. The chakra of Hashirama’s cells will subtly influence the host’s personality.
As a White Zetsu, Ah Fei has no emotions, but he has also developed a bad habit of watching people go to the toilet.
As a human being, Harukitsu’s personality must have been assimilated by the chakra of Hashirama’s cells, becoming as kind-hearted as Hashirama!
“I understand.” Madara controlled his emotions and became calm again, but the expression on his face became even colder.
There was a hint of madness and anticipation in his eyes.
…
The arena, which had been in pieces, was no longer a dangerous building that could collapse at any time with the help of Harumitsu’s Wood Release.
However, it still needs to be repainted by craftsmen before it can be used.
“Thank you, Qingguang.”
Hanzo was inside the Rain Shadow Building, looking through the window at the busy craftsmen, and said to Haruki.
“If you hadn’t controlled the Five-Tails in time, everything in the Hidden Rain Village would have been destroyed.”
“No need to thank me. I should be the one to apologize. If it weren’t for me, the Hidden Rain Village wouldn’t be in such a crisis.”
“The Chunin Exams are over, and it’s time for me to go back.”
“I will report the matter of the ninja school to the Hokage when I return to the village. Don’t worry.”
As Harumi was about to leave, he pulled out a scroll and placed it on Hanzo’s desk.
“This is Konoha’s wine. I wanted to have a chance to drink it with you again, but now it seems that there is no chance.”
“Maybe next time.”
After Harumi leaves, Hanzo picks up the scroll.
“With your alcohol tolerance, I can’t drink to my heart’s content.”
In the abandoned mine outside the Hidden Rain Village, Kasumi, Mikoto’s team and Dai’s team are all here.
Those candidates who failed to advance to the second exam returned to Konoha when they left the Sand Village.
“Lord Qingguang.” Xia saw that Qingguang was safe and sound, and a look of joy appeared on her face.
“Let’s go, it’s time to go back to Konoha.”
Three days later.
Konoha Village, Hokage’s office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen listened to Harumitsu’s description without any disturbance in his heart, and held the armrests of his chair tightly with his hands.
Qingguang actually awakened the Kaleidoscope!
Fortunately, Mikoto and Kasumi survived, and Harumi did not fall into darkness…
Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen looked a little conflicted and hesitant, Haruki asked in confusion, “Hokage-sama, do you think the terms I negotiated with Ōnoki are too simple?”
“I have also considered the fact that the Light and Heavy Rock Technique must be difficult to learn, but didn’t we obtain the flying ninja tools left behind by the Sougakure Ninja Village not long ago?”
“I think this may greatly enhance the combat capability of Konoha’s future ninja forces, and even bring about a qualitative change in Konoha’s forces!” Harumitsu said excitedly.
These words made Sarutobi Hiruzen stunned, and then he immediately understood what Harumi meant.
“This is indeed a good idea, but that’s not what I’m worried about.” Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and looked at Harumi.
“Then why does Lord Hokage have that expression on his face?” Harumi asked puzzled.
“Kid, I’m worried about you.”
“After awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha’s emotions will become more extreme. You must learn to control this power and not become a slave to it.”
“Uchiha Madara was like this. He founded Konoha with Hashirama-sama at first, but as time went by, he was eaten away by this terrifying power bit by bit. Without the bond of his brother Izuna, he was like a wild beast that had lost its cage. He eventually became a rebellious ninja and even wanted to destroy Konoha.”
Qingguang fell into silence, lowered his head, slowly raised his hands and placed them on his eyes.
As if he had made a decision, he murmured, “If this power will harm Konoha…”
“Then I can still protect Konoha even if I don’t have these eyes!”
He took out a kunai and stabbed it straight into his eye sockets.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was so frightened that he immediately grabbed Haruki’s wrist tightly.
The tip of the kunai was only two centimeters away from Harumitsu’s eyes, and cold sweat dripped down Sarutobi Hiruzen’s forehead.
What a fool! What a fool!
Fortunately, fortunately it was stopped…
“Uncle Hiruzen, don’t stop me.”
“I can still protect Konoha even without these eyes!”
“No, Haruki, it is for Konoha’s sake that you should learn to master and control this power.”
This is the Mangekyō Sharingan, how can it be destroyed just like that?
Since the establishment of Konoha, Harukitsu was the first person to awaken these eyes after Uchiha Madara left Konoha.
From now on, for at least a few decades, Konoha will no longer be afraid of the Nine-Tails going berserk, nor will it be afraid of the tailed beasts from other villages.
“Qingguang, if it were you in the past, you would never do such an extreme thing. Instead, you would think about how to control this power.”
“You’ve been through a lot of hardship during this period. Go home and take a good rest. Relax and unwind.”
“By the way, Tsunade is still worried about the next plan for the medical ninja reform. Please help her with some ideas. I am still waiting to preside over the wedding for you two.”
The painting style suddenly changed, Qingguang’s face turned red, and the hand that was tightly clenched on the kunai loosened.
With a clang, the kunai fell to the ground.
“Uncle Hiruzen, what are you talking about? Big Sister and I haven’t gotten married yet…”
Haruki staggered back two steps, turned his head away, and did not dare to look directly into Sarutobi Hiruzen’s eyes.
“It hasn’t reached that stage yet, but it’s already developing, right?” Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled like an auntie and stroked his beard with his hand.
Not bad, not bad~
He had previously seen through the telescope technique that Tsunade brought the drunk Harumitsu home that day and did not leave all night.
Until Harumitsu left the village to preside over the Chunin Exam, he stayed at Tsunade’s house for more than two hours at noon.
It seems that already~
Yosi!
The Mangekyo that Tobirama-sensei has been guarding against all his life has finally been tamed by me!
What’s wrong with being a little extreme? Being extreme for Konoha is also extreme, isn’t it!?
Who said the Sharingan is bad?
This Sharingan is so awesome!
“I’m going to go give the Light and Heavy Rock Jutsu to Orochimaru-senpai first, Uncle Hiruzen, I’m leaving now!”
Qingguang quickly ran to the window and escaped in panic.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked out the window at Harumitsu’s back on the roof, and even saw that Harumitsu almost tripped over the rubble on the roof.
The smile on his face became even brighter.
Now, it’s settled. Konoha finally has a pair of Mangekyo that belongs to it.
I just don’t know what the offspring of Harumitsu and Tsunade will look like.
According to seniority, should I call myself master’s uncle or grandfather?
Oh, how distressing!
…
Inside the institute.
Next to Orochimaru was a man with fair skin and a handsome and elegant appearance.
She was dressed in white, with three thousand strands of white silk hanging down behind her. The red mole between her eyebrows was particularly eye-catching.
But this not only did not ruin the viewing experience, but instead seemed to be the finishing touch, making him look even more pitiful.
“Orochimaru, I can’t get this kind of thing. I’m not good at these things.” Obiru shook his head slightly, took a few steps back, and spoke with apology.
And obvious inferiority and lack of self-confidence.
Orochimaru turned around, put down the tools in his hand, and walked to the side of Hiruhu.
“I know you’re not good at this, but I believe in your talent.”
“In all of Konoha, you are the only one whose talent in research is not inferior to mine.”
“How will you know you can’t do it if you don’t try? I’m not good at these steel creations either. Why don’t we work hard together?” Orochimaru took Okunoki’s hand and stared into his eyes.
Hiruko turned his head away, as if he wanted to pull his hand back. He didn’t think he was qualified, nor did he think he had the same talent as Orochimaru.
Bang!
The door of the laboratory was suddenly pushed open and hit the wall.
Harumitsu, who was still in a “shy” state, raised the scroll in her hand and was about to hand it to Orochimaru when she was stunned by the scene in front of her.
With a snap, the scroll slipped and fell to the ground.
Qingguang’s chin dropped uncontrollably and his pupils trembled.
“you……”
He looked at Higurashi, then at Orochimaru, as if he didn’t know who to look at for a moment.
“Senior Orochimaru…, who is this?” Haruki picked up the scroll on the ground, and for a moment he didn’t know whether to go forward or step back and leave.
“Should I not come here now?” Qingguang asked cautiously.
But Orochimaru smiled slightly and stretched out his other hand towards Haruki with his palm open.
“No, Qingguang, you came at the right time.”
!!!
Qingguang subconsciously took two steps back.
[Give me the stuff, and help me persuade Beiluhu. This guy has too low self-esteem and refuses to help me research flying ninja tools.]
Seeing Orochimaru’s lip hint, Haruki heaved a sigh of relief.
It turns out that I misunderstood.
He thought Uncle Snake had become Aunt Snake.
Putting the scroll in Orochimaru’s hand, Haruki looked at Hiruzen with a slightly stunned expression.
“Is it… Senior Beiluhu?”
Beiliu called him back.
Uchiha Harumitsu, the sun of Konoha?
Qingguang’s dazzling temperament like the sun made it difficult for him to open his eyes.
Too much sunshine!
I’m just a paramecium in the dark sewer and can’t stand such dazzling light!
“Um……”
“I have long admired you, senior, and I didn’t expect to finally meet you in person today,” Qingguang said excitedly.
“Have you been longing for this for a long time?” Obiru took the opportunity to pull his hand away from Orochimaru’s palm and took two steps back.
“I have heard about your deeds from three seniors a long time ago.”
“When we were in the Ninja School, your theoretical scores were on par with Orochimaru-senpai. Even Orochimaru-senpai’s Orochimaru Fluid Arts got a lot of inspiration from you.”
“The big sister said that the paper you published in Konoha made the medical department work overtime overnight and developed several drugs. Not only did it bring a steady stream of high income to the village, but it also benefited countless patients in the ninja world who were plagued by diseases.”
“Senior Jiraiya said that you are humble and devoted to research. You are the most focused person he has ever met. He said that you have achieved more in scientific research than Senior Orochimaru!”
These three sentences shocked Beiliuhu greatly.
Am I…am I that good?
But when I think about it carefully, I seem, probably, perhaps, should, or may have made some insignificant contribution?
“It’s… not that exaggerated, Qingguang, you’re too kind.” Although he said this, a hint of joy appeared on Beiliuhu’s face.
Just a little stiff.
After all, he almost never smiles, his eyebrows are always drooping, and he looks depressed, just like Lin Daiyu.
“No, I’m not exaggerating at all. This is just what three seniors told me. There must be more deeds that I don’t know about.”
“Oh, right.” Haruki changed the subject and looked at the scroll in Orochimaru’s hand: “This is a training scroll for the Light and Heavy Rock Technique. It should be very useful for flying ninja tools.”
“I originally thought that this is an A-level ninjutsu after all. Even if Senior Orochimaru wants to master it, it will probably take a lot of effort to use it on flying ninja tools.”
“But if we add Senior Bei Liuhu, I believe we can save a lot of time.”
Qingguang solemnly grasped Hiruko’s palm and shook it up and down vigorously: “Hiruko-senpai, can the Konoha ninja army surpass the five great nations in the future…”
“It’s all up to you two!”
This silky smooth combo made Orochimaru praise it endlessly.
As expected, he is the sun of Konoha!
He, Tsunade, and Jiraiya did talk about something related to Hiruzen when Harumitsu was still studying at the Ninja Academy.
I didn’t expect Qingguang still remember it until now, even though so many years have passed. It was just a casual mention at the time.
I can only say, this is sunshine…
No one would hate the existence.
These sugar-coated bullets hit Beiliuhu, making him feel dizzy.
So, is this how I appear in Qingguang’s eyes?
But……
Beiliuhu shook his head slightly, and remembered his own low strength.
After so many years, he is almost 30 years old, but he is just a special jonin.
He even barely passed the Chunin Exam two years ago with a top score, and was promoted to a Special Jonin only because he was good at scientific research.
In terms of actual combat ability, he is at the bottom among the Chunins, even inferior to some stronger Genins.
“Haruki, I’m just a ninja who’s not even as good as a genin. You’d better not have any expectations of me.”
“Even if I stay here, I will only hinder Orochimaru…”
Beiluhu’s performance made Qingguang feel upset.
Is this guy’s level of darkness and inferiority so high? Even this can’t cheer him up?
It seems that I have to use that trick…
Qingguang’s eyes were moist, and he held Beiliuhu’s hands tightly with both hands: “Senior Beiliuhu, Qingguang was also like this before!”
“I have been an orphan since I was young, and I grew up eating at other people’s homes. Even though I know I am not very talented, if I don’t try my best, how can I repay the village that raised me, everyone!”
“It is because the Will of Fire told me that Konoha is a big family, and family members will not care about these things.”
“They cared for me from the bottom of their hearts. They regarded me as a family member and never asked for anything in return. I knew this very well, but it made me feel guilty and I once fell into inferiority. I just wanted to do something for everyone and the village, that’s all.”
“Senior, I believe in you. You can do it! Things change over time. Don’t look down on young people just because they are poor!”
“No matter how unconfident you are, can you still not trust the will of fire left by the first Hokage?”
That’s right, it’s the will of fire!
From Naruto’s mouth, this trick can also work on the determined Obito, the clear light combined with the buff of Konoha’s sun.
It also borrows the power of classic quotations.
How could he not be able to control a tiny Beiliuhu?
Beiliuhu’s spiritual world was originally filled with darkness, turbid and dirty sewage.
But at this moment, a crack seemed to appear in the originally dark sky, and a dazzling light shone into the space, driving away the darkness.
Life’s instinctive yearning for light made him want to raise his hand and grab it.
But before he could raise his hand, he was dragged out.
“Okay, then I’ll give it a try!” With his eyebrows slightly raised, Biluhu mustered up his courage and nodded.
