Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 132 The Lost Beauty... (eye roll)

That night.

The night breeze in Konoha was gentle, and the chirping of insects rose and fell.

Aoba lay on the bed.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide.

A small, bluish-green lizard poked its head out from the collar and flicked its tongue.

A thousand miles away, on the border of the land of water.

The moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, and a brutal hunt was unfolding in the dense jungle.

"Run! Young Master Zongye, don't look back!"

A Jonin from the Hyuga branch family, covered in blood, shielded Hyuga Muneya behind him while facing the Hidden Mist ninjas who were closing in from all sides.

"Uncle Tokugawa!"

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Hyuga Muneya watched as the branch family members fell one by one to cover for him, his eyes bloodshot and veins bulging around his eyes.

"No! I want to fight alongside you!"

"madness!"

Hyuga Tokugawa roared, whirling around to stare intently at Muneya. "This was a premeditated ambush! Their target was the Byakugan!"

"Your top priority now is to immediately retreat to the Konoha base! If—if we are surrounded, even if it means death, you must destroy the Byakugan before being captured!"

"We must not let Baiyan fall into enemy hands!"

Hyuga Tokugawa's words struck Soya's heart like a heavy hammer.

Hyuga Muneya trembled violently, his pure white pupils filled with resentment and pain.

Without time to hesitate, Hyuga Tokugawa swiftly formed hand seals: "Shadow Clone Technique!"

With a "bang," a shadow clone appeared, grabbed Zongye's shoulder, and led him away into the depths of the dense forest without looking back.

Hyuga Tokugawa's true form turned around and faced the swarming Kirigakure ninja, letting out a resolute roar.

"Baguazhang - Empty Palm!"

The first few ninjas who rushed forward were blasted away.

However, more figures emerged from the darkness.

In the dense forest, Tokugawa's shadow clone carried Muneya swiftly through the branches.

The hem of her clothes fluttered wildly in the wind whipped up by the speed.

Because it is a shadow clone, it cannot activate the Byakugan.

In the dim light, he could only rely on his hearing and intuition to dodge the sneak attacks from the shadows.

shhhhhh!

Three kunai shot out from different directions.

The shadow clone held onto Souya with one hand and swung several shuriken with the other to parry, the clanging of metal echoing through the forest.

But one kunai flew at an extremely tricky angle, heading straight for Muneya's back.

"Oh no!"

The shadow clone's pupils contracted sharply, and it shoved Zongye to the side.

boom!

The kunai had an explosive tag attached to it.

The shockwave from the explosion sent the two flying, with the shadow clone bearing the brunt of the impact.

boom!

White smoke exploded.

The shadow clone couldn't withstand the pressure and dissipated.

Hyuga Muneya also crashed heavily to the ground, rolling several times before finally coming to a stop.

His ears were ringing and blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth, but he still managed to get up immediately and opened his eyes wide.

"Eye roll!"

White veins appeared on both sides of the temples, and a 360-degree panoramic view unfolded instantly.

The next moment, he saw a scene that filled him with despair.

At least several Hidden Mist Ninjas were rapidly surrounding them from all directions.

Zongya gripped the kunai tightly in his hand, remembering Tokugawa's last words.

"If we get captured, we must destroy the White Eye."

His hand trembled as he slowly aimed the tip of the kunai at his left eye.

Did he just die like that?

He hasn't accomplished anything yet.

He has not yet changed the relationship between the main family and the branch family.

He has yet to prove that the main family can fight alongside the branch family.

Just as Hyuga Muneya raised the kunai in his hand, aimed it at his left eye, and prepared to stab it down hard!

He suddenly felt a violent dizziness, and the scene before his eyes instantly distorted.

The whole world seemed to be spinning.

The once pitch-black forest instantly turned into a pale white, and Zongye's consciousness became hazy, causing the direction of the kunai in his hand to deviate.

"Illusion?!"

Zongye, being from a prominent family, reacted instantly.

However, in the instant he broke free of the illusion and regained his clarity...

A cold, sharp blade flashed past.

"Pfft!"

A sharp pain shot through my wrist, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

Zongye's right arm, which was holding the kunai, was severed at the root and thrown high into the air!

"ah-

J—

Before the scream could even fully escape his throat, a second flash of cold light swept across.

puff.

The sharp dagger sliced ​​precisely across his throat.

Blood gushed from Zongye's throat, silencing him completely.

His pure white eyes widened, filled with resentment, despair, and disbelief. His body fell backward limply, crashing heavily onto the muddy ground.

Beside his body stood a Hidden Mist ninja with long, gray-blue hair.

green.

The dagger in his hand was still dripping blood, and his eyes were cold and wary.

"Whose illusion magic was so outstanding in this hunt for the Byakugan?"

Qing frowned slightly, a question lingering in her mind.

If it weren't for that sudden illusion that interrupted Hyuga Muneya's actions, those precious Byakugan eyes would probably have been destroyed.

But soon, Qing realized something was wrong.

It's too quiet.

Where are his companions?

Without the slightest hesitation, Qing squatted down and deftly gouged out one of Zongye's white eyes, placing it into a specially made nutrient solution bottle.

Just as he was about to gouge out the second eye.

"Fire Release: Flame Bullet!"

A blazing fireball roared out of the thick fog to the side without warning, heading straight for Qing's face!

Qing's pupils contracted, and relying on his intuition honed from years of teetering on the edge of life and death, he jerked his body backward, narrowly avoiding the bombardment of the fireball, but the intense heat still scorched a lock of his hair.

During this process, he saw the attacker's figure. Although the face was hidden in the darkness, the scarlet eyes that emitted a bright red light could not be concealed.

Sharingan!

"The Uchiha clan?!"

Qing's heart skipped a beat.

Konoha's reinforcements arrived so quickly? And they're from the Uchiha clan!

Looking into the other person's cold Sharingan eyes, Ao made a judgment instantly.

His companions are probably already dead. Dealing with the Uchiha in a one-on-one situation is extremely dangerous when the information is unclear.

There wasn't time to remove the other white eye!

So his primary task now is to keep the Byakugan that he has already obtained!

In a flash, Qing had already weighed his options and quickly retreated before the second fireball even approached.

Without lingering in the fight, he used the tree trunks as cover and quickly retreated, disappearing into the depths of the dense forest in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Ao retreat, the "Uchiha" did not pursue.

He slowly emerged from the shadows, and moonlight streamed through the gaps in the tree canopy, illuminating his face.

It was clearly the appearance of Uchiha Itachi.

But the next second, the body twisted and changed in a strange way.

The original "Uchiha Itachi" disappeared, and in his place was a strange creature that was pale all over and looked like a vegetable.

White Zetsu.

"This White Zetsu's body is too fragile."

From Bai Jue's mouth came the slightly disgusted voice of Yamashiro Aoba.

This was precisely how Aoba used the Spirit Transformation Technique to possess the body of the White Zetsu he had captured earlier, and then disguised himself as Uchiha Itachi using the White Zetsu's Wood Release: Transformation (Disguise Technique).

However, because this White Zetsu had been repeatedly drained of blood and experimented on by Aoba, it was already severely weakened and looked listless.

Having traversed most of the Land of Fire, taken down several Hidden Mist Village soldiers, and unleashed two ninjutsu, he now doesn't even have enough chakra to maintain his transformation technique.

Just then, there was a rustling sound in the grass, and a chameleon crawled out and climbed up the White Zetsu's thigh to its shoulder.

Purple chakra surged, and the Dragon Vein Chakra flowed into White Zetsu's body through the lizard.

With the replenishment of chakra, White Zetsu's originally shriveled body became full again, like an inflated balloon.

"Almost there, but what's with this feeling—"

Even though it wasn't his own body, the blissful feeling was still irresistible.

Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Aoba controlled the body of White Zetsu and walked to the side of Hyuga Muneya's corpse.

Moonlight filtered through the gaps in the tree canopy, illuminating the young man's pale face.

The right eye had been taken by Qing, while the intact white eyeball of the left eye stared blankly at the dark sky.

Aoba remained silent for a moment.

He recalled that day at the supply depot, when this young man stood before him, his eyes shining with idealism, vowing to change the relationship between the main and branch families of the Hyuga clan.

"Unfortunately, you're not the main character."

Aoba sighed, his tone filled with pity and indifference.

This is the ninja world.

Ideals without substance are nothing more than deadly poison.

He crouched down and skillfully removed Zongye's remaining left eye, placing it into the prepared sealing scroll.

Then, he picked up the severed right hand and sealed it away as well.

These are pure main family cells, and have extremely high research value.

The illusion that interrupted Zongye's self-destruction was naturally cast by Qingye.

According to the original timeline, Hyuga Mune should have successfully destroyed one of his Byakugan, but the other was still taken by Ao.

Now, due to his intervention, Zong has also failed to successfully treat his left eye.

Qing took one.

And this white eye, which should have been destroyed, ended up in his hands.

Of course, letting Ao go was also Aoba's intention. Only when Kirigakure took away the Byakugan would the Byakugan in his hand be safe.

Suddenly, the white Zetsu possessed by Aoba turned its head slightly.

He sensed that several powerful chakra streams were rapidly approaching.

They are Konoha's support troops.

"It's time to leave."

【Wood Release: Sandalwood Root Concealment】(Mayfly Technique)!

White Zetsu's body sank rapidly into the ground, disappearing without a trace as if swallowed by the earth.

A moment later.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several figures wearing Konoha headbands landed beside Hyuga Muneya's corpse.

"Damn it! We're too late!"

The leader of the ninjas turned ashen-faced when he saw Souya's two empty eye sockets.

"Send the signal! Immediately!"

A red signal flare shot into the sky, exploding into a dazzling red flower in the night sky above the fog-shrouded front.
