From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 184 A Crazy Idea!
By the time the Konoha Anbu arrived, they could only watch as the Raikage and the Jinchuriki ran away.

Looking at Uchiha Muneki beside him, he saw that he had already fainted. When Linjiao saw this, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

The hope of Konoha, the hero who saved everyone, now lies on the ground.

How could it become like this? !

At this moment, Lin Jiao felt extremely annoyed and hated himself for not being more assertive earlier.

If he had been more assertive and insisted on following along, perhaps this wouldn't have happened!
Unfortunately, there's no going back.

Linjiao hoisted the unconscious Uchiha Muneki onto his back and sprinted towards Konoha headquarters without stopping, constantly muttering, "Hold on, you must hold on! Konoha can't be without you, Muneki-sama, you absolutely can't get hurt!"

Soon, carrying Uchiha Muneki's horn, he broke into the Konoha camp, shouting for medical ninjas.

Several medical ninjas surrounded the unconscious Uchiha Muneki, conducting a thorough examination of him. Various instruments were inserted into his body, and medical techniques were used to maintain his vital signs.

"what is going on?!"

Lin Jiao paced anxiously in circles, his forehead covered in sweat.

He couldn't even imagine the devastating impact it would be if Konoha lost another hero.

"Lord Linjiao."

After the examination, the medical ninja hesitated, his expression complex.

"Say!"

Lin Jiao's eyes were sharp.

"Upon examination, it was found that Lord Zongyue has a very serious illness." The medical ninja gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "It seems to be a blood disease. It is speculated that the cause is Lord Zongyue's Sharingan, and his vision is almost gone."

"What did you say?!"

A bolt of lightning struck from a clear sky, leaving Lin Jiao's mind blank: "No, it can't be, this must be fake!"

He still couldn't believe that such a powerful person could suddenly become seriously ill and go blind.

"It must be your fault!" Lin Jiao could no longer contain himself. He rushed forward, grabbed the medical ninja, and roared at him with a ferocious expression, "Investigate again! Investigate thoroughly! Otherwise, I'll take your life!"

"Put down his horn."

Just then, Uchiha Muneki, who had been unconscious, woke up and said weakly.

"Lord Zongyue, you're awake?"

Linjiao abandoned the medical ninja and rushed to the bedside. Looking at Uchiha Muneki's pale face, he felt a pang of sorrow: "I'm sorry, Muneki-sama. If we could have held on a little longer, perhaps you wouldn't be so exhausted!"

He attributed all the blame to himself.

“No, you did a great job, Linjiao.” Uchiha Munetsuki’s face was pale. He barely raised his hand and patted his shoulder, comforting him, “Don’t blame others either. I am well aware of the side effects of these eyes, but I don’t regret it. At least this power can protect everyone, and that’s enough.”

Lin Jiao's eyes were slightly red and sore. She suppressed her grief and held his hands tightly: "No, you did very well, Lord Zongyue."

"Don't tell anyone about my affairs."

Uchiha Munetsuki said softly, "Konoha is in great danger right now. We absolutely cannot let them know, understand?"

"Yes, Lord Zongyue."

Lin Jiao held back his tears and nodded in agreement.

"The Cloud Ninja have been temporarily repelled." Uchiha Muneki calmed his breathing and slowly said, "And the Sand Ninja, Mist Ninja, and Iwa Ninja are also on the list."

"Lord Zongyue, please take a rest!"

Linjiao couldn't bear to see him dragging his body to the brutal front lines of war again.

"No, it's not time to rest yet."

But clearly, Uchiha Muneki wouldn't agree, stubbornly insisting, "Rinkaku, I know my body. I'm going blind. I want to make one last contribution to Konoha while I can still see. I don't want to lie in bed, and I can't lie in bed!"

As he spoke, he propped himself up again and got out of bed.

"I still have things I need to do!"

Uchiha Muneki's actions made Rinkaku, who was standing to the side, unable to hold back his tears any longer, which soaked his face.

"But if you use those eyes again, your body won't be able to take it!" Lin Jiao desperately hoped that this young man could rest.

Even just for one day, don't be so tired, and don't drag your seriously ill body to the brutal front lines of war.

"Just a little bit more. Just a little bit more."

Uchiha Muneki forced a smile and comforted Rinkaku: "Believe me, the war will be over soon."

Orochimaru returned to Konoha from the front lines and headed straight for the Hokage Building.

Pushing open that familiar wooden door, after several months, when he walked into the office again, he was surprised to find that everything had changed.

"I never expected that after all this fighting, this position would ultimately fall to you." Orochimaru, his hands tucked into his sleeves, dressed in a white kimono, narrowed his long eyes as he scrutinized the young man before him, and said calmly, "Speak, what is it that you specifically called me back for?"

Uchiha Munetsuki, sitting in the Hokage's seat, coughed twice, his face flushed with weakness: "Orochimaru, if you're willing, I can let you sit in this position."

"No."

Orochimaru remained expressionless and unmoved: "Right now, I have no interest in the Hokage."

If this had happened in the past, he might have been a little excited, at a loss, or even delighted to hear those words.

But after experiencing many things, Orochimaru suddenly felt that it was a waste to spend his limited life on such a boring thing as fighting for power.

"Enough with the nonsense, let's get down to business. Why did you call me back?" Orochimaru fiddled with his fingernails, saying listlessly, "The front lines at Iwagakure are no simple matter. If I'm not here, that old fox will definitely seize the opportunity. If we delay too long, something terrible will happen."

"I called you here because I want to ask you for a favor."

Uchiha Muneki coughed a few more times, a bruise appearing on his palm: "What do you think Konoha, in its current state, should do to end the war?"

"The side effects of the Kaleidoscope are really this serious?"

Orochimaru's gaze narrowed slightly as he noticed the bloodstains on Orochimaru's palm. His brows furrowed. "Given your current physical condition, if you use that power again, you'll soon run into trouble, won't you?"

Although his research on the Sharingan was not in-depth, he was still able to see the problem that Uchiha Muneki was facing at a glance, based on his years of experience in human experiments.

"It does not matter."

Uchiha Munetsuki waved his hand: "Orochimaru, what do you think is the best way to end this war quickly?"

"drag."

Orochimaru said calmly, "If we want to win, we can only drag it out slowly, until they collapse, until an opportunity arises."

"That's right, but the problem is that Konoha can't hold on any longer."

Uchiha Muneki said in a low voice, "Therefore, I intend to end the war as soon as possible."

How will it end?

Orochimaru became interested and asked curiously.

"use this"

Uchiha Muneki placed the prepared scroll on the table, his eyes fixed on Orochimaru.

Orochimaru walked over, unfurled the scroll, and his pupils contracted slightly: "This... the advisors won't agree to this. Are you crazy?!"

"good."

Uchiha Muneki nodded and said, "This is the only way to end the war quickly!"

"Haha, interesting."

Orochimaru licked his lips, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes, and looked him up and down with amusement: "I never thought that the Uchiha clan could produce someone with such courage as you."

"Do you dare to do it?"

Uchiha Muneki stared intently into Orochimaru's eyes, awaiting his answer.

"Heh, why wouldn't you dare?"

Orochimaru's lips curled up, a hint of madness flashing across his handsome face: "You dare? Why wouldn't I dare? Impure World Reincarnation is perfect, I also want to see the legendary Wood Release!"
