Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 125 Sharingan, Kei's Resolve!

After a moment's thought, Aoba realized that the Third Hokage must already know about his experiences on the front lines. His promotion to Jonin was probably a form of compensation from the Third Hokage, as well as a political maneuver to showcase the strength of Konoha's new generation to the outside world.

But it doesn't matter; the treatment and authority of a Jonin are exactly what he needs right now.

Having the title of Jonin means that he has finally officially entered the "meat-sharing" class in this makeshift team.

He was also curious about how the Third Hokage would treat Danzo, since, in a sense, Shinnosuke Sarutobi was indirectly killed by Danzo.

However, Aoba guessed that Danzo would probably be fine, since even when Danzo sent someone to assassinate him, the Third Hokage was able to get away with it easily, let alone just the death of one of his sons.

While waiting for the shift change, Aoba didn't sit idle.

After dealing with the critically injured and poisoned patients, he handed the medical team over to Yumiko and plunged into his research on Uchiha Itachi's Sharingan.

A secluded, makeshift training ground.

Aoba crossed his arms and watched Uchiha Kei and Ishida Ryoichi engage in a ninja battle.

If the two were roughly equal in combat skill before, then after awakening his Sharingan, Kei was able to consistently overpower Ryoichi.

"I'm not hitting you anymore, I'm not hitting you anymore, your eyes are too shameless."

Ryoichi was also very hurt. After opening his eyes, he was no longer a match for him, and all his moves were seen through.

Seeing that Ryoichi had retreated from the battle, Keiya immediately stopped, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, the Sharingan in her eyes had disappeared, and she then gave Ryoichi an awkward yet polite smile.

He was helpless, but that was the power of his Sharingan.

Although he had expected this result, he did not expect the gap to be so large.

However, his strength has increased so much since he awakened his Sharingan. Ryoichi's strength has now stabilized at the Chunin level, and he is no match for Kei at all.

"Qi, how does it feel after opening your eyes?"

"Qingye asked."

"Captain, after activating the Sharingan, my dynamic vision has improved several times over. When I see Ryoichi's movements, it's like watching slow motion, which is why this is happening—"

Qi smiled somewhat embarrassedly, feeling that activating his Sharingan in battle was a bit unfair.

"Don't feel any psychological burden; the power in your bloodline is also part of your strength."

"Having a bloodline limit is just a natural advantage, and one cannot rely on it too much. Whether one can become a strong person depends on one's own development and willpower."

"Just like the Hokage, the Legendary Sannin, and Minato Namikaze, none of them had special bloodline limits, but their fame still spread throughout the ninja world."

Aoba wasn't just talking to Uchiha Kei, but also to Ryoichi.

Ryoichi nodded in agreement, then asked, "Captain, why don't you mention yourself? You don't have a bloodline limit either, yet you've still made a name for yourself—"

Upon hearing this, Aoba's forehead immediately sprouted a "well" shape.

Seeing the captain's expression change, Ryoichi knew he had said the wrong thing again and quickly shut up.

"Alright, enough chit-chat."

Aoba took out a ninjutsu scroll from his pocket and tossed it to Ryoichi. "This is my improved chakra scalpel. It's much easier to learn. Practice first, and then apply it to your weapon."

"Thank you, Captain!"

Ryoichi gripped the ninjutsu scroll tightly, extremely excited.

After sending Ryoichi aside to practice on his own, Aoba began to observe Kei's eyes.

To be honest, he was amazed by the changes in the Sharingan. The pupils, which were clearly black, would turn red, and the patterns inside would change.

It's worth noting that only the Golden Cudgel can undergo such miraculous changes within the human body, exhibiting two states only during combat and non-combat.

Aoba stood in front of Uchiha Kei, carefully observing Kei's eyes, even taking off his sunglasses in the process.

Qi discovered that the captain looked even more handsome without sunglasses.

It also makes people feel more approachable.

"Don't be nervous."

"Qingye said softly, then slowly raised her right hand."

"Yes, Captain."

After receiving Qi's affirmation, Aoba reached out and placed her hand over Qi's eyes, gently prying open his left eyelid with her index finger and thumb.

A pale green chakra glow emanated from his fingertips, like the most sophisticated instrument, sensing every subtle change inside his eyeballs.

"Okay, that's settled."

Aoba's voice was calm and steady, "Try to awaken the Sharingan."

Qi did not hesitate at all and cooperated fully.

He took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and then suddenly opened them again.

The crimson pupils reappeared, with a single tomoe in the left eye and two tomoe in the right eye. The two black tomoe slowly rotated in the right eye, emitting a cold yet powerful chakra fluctuation.

"Chip, activate depth scanning mode, establish a microscopic model of the eyeball, and record the frequency of chakra fluctuations."

Aoba issued the command in her mind.

[Command confirmed, model being built —]

Any other Uchiha clan member, if their prized bloodline limit were so casually manipulated by an outsider, would probably have already drawn their swords. But Qi felt not a trace of repulsion.

He knew very well how he had opened his eyes.

His childhood experiences had already made Qi's mind far beyond that of his peers, and after this period of tempering, he recognized the essence of this power.

Just like the captain said, the Sharingan is only one part of his strength, a useful tool.

Since it is a tool, people should be in control of it, rather than the tool controlling people.

Within the Uchiha clan, there has always been an extremely morbid class distinction. The old fogies in the clan constantly talk about "honor" and "bloodline" to divide people into different classes.

Those who can open their eyes are the elite, the core of the family; those who cannot are the lower class, not even qualified to attend high-level meetings.

This kind of morbid distinction will only plunge the family into endless internal strife and slow decay.

Trust in Aoba.

They even felt that if the captain could really figure out the secret of the Sharingan and break down the barrier to awakening it, more ordinary clansmen who hadn't awakened their Sharingan could master this power.

That's when the Uchiha clan will truly achieve its glory!

"Okay, keep it on, don't move."

Aoba's voice interrupted Qi's thoughts.

At this moment, on Aoba's retina, a massive amount of data was pouring down like a waterfall.

[Physical changes were detected in the structure of the target eye's lens and optic nerve.]

[Unknown micro-meridian network discovered, currently being compared with conventional chakra meridians — Comparison complete, similarity 12]

%

[A high concentration of Yin Release chakra converges in the visual nerve center, causing its properties to change extremely rapidly.]

【————】

Aoba was secretly amazed.

Amazing chakra!

I thought I had a comprehensive understanding of chakra, but it turns out I was still quite naive.

As expected of the power that the Otsutsuki used to harvest the power of various planets.

The moment the blood vessels were activated, the internal structure of the eyeball underwent a substantial change, generating a set of miniature meridians specifically designed to carry and release chakra (eye power?).

This change is somewhat similar to the nature transformation of chakra, but it is more advanced than ordinary nature transformation. It acts directly on the matter itself, completely changing the form of the matter.

Most importantly, the entire process of change has no impact on the subject; on the contrary, it can enhance the subject.

It's like—evolution?!

The chip's data shows that Kei's current chakra level has firmly broken through the Chunin level and is even approaching the Jonin level at a terrifying speed!

The first time he opened his eyes, he had the peculiar form of a single tomoe in his left eye and a double tomoe in his right eye, which surpassed the level of most Uchiha clan members when they first opened their eyes.

Putting aside the asymmetrical shape, the amount of chakra within Qi's body alone far exceeds the level of a normal Uchiha when he first awakens his Sharingan.

It's important to know that in the Uchiha clan, the three-tomoe Sharingan is the mature form of the ordinary Sharingan.

The Uchiha clan, possessing three tomoe, generally possess combat strength comparable to Jonin in the ninja system, with some battle-hardened elites even reaching the level of elite Jonin.

It's clearly illogical that Qi Cai's chakra level has surged to this extent so soon after he opened his eyes.

Based on Qi's original talent trajectory, it was uncertain whether he would ever open his eyes in this lifetime, let alone reach his current level.

In Ban's words, he lacked the talent to open his eyes; in the context of cultivation, he would simply be considered a mixed spiritual root.

There is only one reason why we have undergone such a complete transformation.

"So it really is because of the White Zetsu cells—"

Aoba secretly made a plan in his heart.

The descendants of Indra ingested degraded Hashirama cells containing the power of Asura.

Although it was only ingested through food, the White Zetsu's chakra was still released under the external stimulation of Aoba's medical ninjutsu. The two powers of the same origin produced a wonderful chemical reaction, greatly raising the upper limit of Kei's potential.

However, to further analyze these microscopic changes, chips and these rudimentary medical devices alone are insufficient; more specialized medical equipment is required for analysis and cell-level research.

Aoba turned his head and glanced at Ishida Ryoichi, who was practicing chakra scalpel not far away.

As a control group, Ryoichi's chakra level also increased significantly, though not as dramatically as Kei's, but he still firmly entered the Chunin level.

The White Zetsu cells' modification of Ryoichi is primarily physical—his physique becomes stronger, his vitality is extremely vigorous, and his recovery ability is astonishing.

"Alright, we've collected almost all the data."

Aoba withdrew his hand. "Next, let's do a practical test and see where the Sharingan's replication limit really is."

"Yes, Captain!"

Qi exclaimed excitedly.

The two arrived at the center of the open space.

"Watch closely, here comes the first ninjutsu."

Qingye quickly formed hand seals, from 已 to 未 to 寅.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A huge ball of flame spewed out of Qingye's mouth, and waves of heat rolled out.

Qi stared intently at Qingye's movements, the two tomoe in his right eye spinning wildly.

Dynamic vision slowed down Aoba's hand seal movements infinitely, while simultaneously seeing through the flow and refining ratio of chakra within Aoba's body.

As the signature ninjutsu of the Uchiha clan, how could Kei not know the Great Fireball Technique? However, the normal Great Fireball Technique requires six hand seals, while Aoba only performed three.

"I see----"

Qi followed suit without hesitation, his movements perfectly synchronized.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Fireballs of the same size spewed from Qi's mouth. The two flames collided in mid-air, canceling each other out and turning into a sky full of sparks.

Aoba then formed hand seals again and released an illusion, which Kei copied perfectly and used.

"Captain, I don't think I need to use hand seals for illusions—"
