Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 195 Blood Dragon Eye of Hell Valley

Aoba crouched down and placed his hand on Kurosuki Raiga's forehead.

The Art of Mind Reading

A flood of information rushed into Aoba's mind.

As expected of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, they certainly have a lot of valuable knowledge in their heads.

The complete method of using the Lightning Blade, Fang, includes how to resonate with the blade, how to guide Lightning Release chakra to merge with the blade, and those little-known secret techniques.

Furthermore, Aoba also gleaned a wealth of secret information about Kirigakure from Raiga's memories.

For example, the Third Mizukage is currently seriously ill for some unknown reason, and the upper echelons of Kirigakure are fiercely vying for the position of the Fourth Mizukage.

Meanwhile, the new generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, led by Suigetsu Hobuki, seems to be secretly plotting some kind of conspiracy to seize the position of Mizukage.

However, Aoba didn't care about these petty things in Kirigakure at all. He wasn't a member of Kirigakure, so why should he care?

What truly surprised him was that he finally found a clue about "Red Eyes" deep in Raiga Kurosuki's memories!

As a high-ranking member of the Hidden Mist Village, Raiga has access to many classified documents, including those concerning "Red Eyes 33".

Information on bloodline limits.

According to records, the "Red-Eyed" clan has declined, with members either dying or migrating away from their homeland, seemingly heading towards the City of Mist.

"At least the effort wasn't in vain."

Aoba sealed the Raito-Gi-Oh into the scroll, then glanced at the Kurozuki Rai-Gi-Oh on the ground, casually flicked out a Fire Dragon Bullet, and incinerated it on the spot.

More than ten days later.

In the southeastern part of the Land of Water, in a dense forest a dozen miles outside a remote village.

A ragged man was running frantically through the woods, his face filled with terror, constantly looking back as if some horrible monster was chasing him.

On a tree branch not far behind him, Qingye was following at a leisurely pace.

"Gah—"

A crow with pure white eyes descended from the sky and landed steadily on Qingye's shoulder.

Aoba reached out and smoothed the white-eyed crow's feathers, then sighed helplessly.

"Sensing danger—what a troublesome ability."

He's been chasing this guy for days.

Red-eyed not only has the ability to see through objects and create illusions, but also possesses an extremely keen sense of danger.

Every time Aoba gets close, this guy can sense it in advance and make a quick getaway.

If Aoba hadn't summoned the Byakugan beforehand and used its long-range vision to lock onto the target in mid-air, the creature might have actually gotten away.

Of course, it's also because this guy is unaware of his own abilities; otherwise, catching him would have been really difficult.

However, the cat-and-mouse game should come to an end.

Aoba unleashed a burst of chakra beneath his feet, his figure darting through the forest like a ghost, and in a few leaps he blocked the man's path.

"Have you run enough?"

Aoba adjusted his glasses and asked calmly.

Upon seeing Aoba suddenly appear in front of him, the man was so frightened that his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

"Why—why are you chasing me? I don't even know you!"

The man screamed in despair, his eyes flashing a terrified red light.

Those once ordinary black eyes had now turned blood red, with faint chakra fluctuations emanating from around the pupils.

This is red-eye!

"take it easy."

Aoba walked up to the man, looking down at him gently, "I'm just here to retrieve something. Don't worry, once you wake up, you'll be a normal person again."

Before the man could react to the meaning of those words, he saw Qingye gently tap his forehead with her finger.

Chakra instantly invaded his brain, the man's eyelids drooped, and he collapsed.

Aoba crouched down, his hands glowing with a vibrant green light that represented the ultimate medical ninjutsu.

Aoba did an extremely meticulous job in the subsequent process.

He first used a chip to perform a comprehensive scan and model of the physiological structure of red eyes, recording the location and direction of every capillary and optic nerve.

They then removed his red eyes and replaced them with ordinary human eyes. As for where the eyes came from, that was a minor matter.

After half an hour.

The unconscious man slowly opened his eyes.

He sat up abruptly, frantically touching his body, only to find himself completely unharmed, without a single wound.

However, when he subconsciously tried to activate his chakra to sense the danger around him, he found that the familiar, strange perspective had completely disappeared.

He ran to a puddle nearby and, using the reflection in the water, saw his current appearance.

In the reflection in the water, those red eyes that he once regarded as an ominous sign, bringing him endless pain, were no longer there.

Instead, there were a pair of ordinary black eyes.

The man froze.

He suddenly remembered what the bespectacled man had said to him before he passed out.

"When you wake up, you will become an ordinary, normal person."

In an instant, the man's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in his eyes.

He felt no anger or resentment at losing his bloodline limit; on the contrary, an indescribable joy and gratitude welled up within him.

In the Land of Water, a deformed country, bloodline limits are synonymous with curses.

Now, the curse is lifted.

He can finally live a normal life like a normal person.

The man turned around abruptly and kowtowed heavily in the direction Qingye had left.

"Thank you—thank you, sir!"

On the border of the Land of Lightning, there is a secluded valley shrouded in thick miasma year-round.

The air was thick with the smell of sulfur and miasma, and dark red rocks lay bare on the ground, barren of any vegetation.

Several sunken, low-lying areas were filled with a murky, dark red liquid, which occasionally emitted steam and bubbles, indicating that the temperature was not low.

Two figures, a man and a woman, both cloaked, quietly appeared at the entrance of the valley.

"Lord Cang, this should be Hell Valley."

Ryoichi Ishida pulled back his hood, his gaze sweeping over the desolate wasteland before him, and calmly confirmed with his companion beside him.

Ye Cang frowned as he looked at the scene in the valley.

Even just a quick glance from the outside reveals the appalling state of the environment.

If Aoba hadn't provided accurate information, they wouldn't have believed that anyone could survive here!

In such a place, even plants cannot grow, let alone humans.

"The daimyo of the Land of Lightning is really ruthless, exiling people to this godforsaken place, basically just letting them fend for themselves."

Ye Cang made a cold comment, then stepped into the valley.

Ryoichi followed closely behind.

The two made their way into the valley along the rugged, rocky terrain.

The surrounding environment is becoming increasingly harsh, the miasma is becoming thicker, and the temperature is constantly rising.

Boiling, blood-red pools of water could be seen everywhere on both sides, some even bubbling and emitting waves of heat.

In such an environment, let alone ordinary people, even ninjas would likely suffer mental problems if they stayed here for an extended period of time.

However, not long after the two entered the valley, Ye Cang's brows furrowed slightly.

Someone is following them.

She didn't stop walking, but glanced at Ryoichi out of the corner of her eye. At almost the same time, the latter also noticed something was wrong and nodded slightly.

The two continued on their way, remaining silent.

Just as the two stepped into a relatively open canyon, a sudden change occurred!

Whoosh!

Several previously calm, dark red puddles suddenly began to boil violently.

Immediately afterwards, several giant dragons formed from dark red liquid burst out of the water and quickly attacked the two of them!

"Shield of Sand!"

Ryoichi reacted extremely quickly, waving his hand to send out a large amount of dark red sand flying from his body. The sand quickly condensed into a sturdy shield in mid-air, blocking the incoming water dragon.

At the same time, Yekura also made a move.

"Scorching Release: Overheating and Killing!"

Several fireballs radiating terrifying heat appeared out of thin air and precisely met the other water dragons.

Sizzle—

Upon contact, a large amount of moisture evaporates instantly, releasing a nauseating, fishy odor.

That's not an ordinary liquid.

is blood!

Ye Cang stopped and coldly scanned his surroundings.

Several figures slowly emerged from behind the surrounding rocks.

They wore tattered clothes and had gaunt faces, but they all shared a common feature: scarlet eyes with single-lined pupils.

It was none other than the Blood Pool Clan they were looking for.

"Oh? This is the Blood Dragon Eye?!"

Ye Cang looked at those blood-red eyes and a slight smirk appeared on his lips.

"Looks like we don't need to look anymore."

Ryoichi also saw those people's eyes, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

"What a peculiar ninjutsu! It's about controlling blood?"

He had never seen such a peculiar ninjutsu before, manipulating one's own blood to condense into a form and turn it into an attack method. This idea was somewhat similar to his sand manipulation technique.

"Who are you people?"

The man from the Blood Clan who was leading the group opposite them had a sinister look in his eyes, his blood-red pupils fixed on Yekura and Ryoichi, and his tone was icy.

"No outsider who ventures into Hell Valley ever leaves alive!"

More blood gushed from the wounds on their wrists, turning into a rain of blood in mid-air, like countless sharp needles, shooting down on the two men.

Ryoichi manipulated the red sand to create a rain of sand to intercept, while Yekura used the high temperature of the Scorch Release to continuously evaporate the blood of those who approached.

Although the ninjas of the Blood Pond clan appear weak, their fighting style is extremely unpredictable.

They continuously manipulated the surrounding blood, transforming it into various weapons and ferocious beasts, launching a massive attack on the two.

The two worked together seamlessly, blocking all the attacks from the Blood Pool Clan in a short time.

But as they fought, they both realized something was wrong.

"strangeness----"

Ryoichi frowned, manipulating the red sand defense while shouting, "Lord Cang, don't these guys have a lot of blood? Even after your Scorching Release evaporated so much of it, their attack frequency hasn't decreased at all!"

Yekura also noticed the anomaly. She glanced at the dark red puddles around her and said coldly, "The water here is rich in iron, giving it a blood-like appearance. They're using the terrain to their advantage, using the pool water as a medium for performing ninjutsu."

The Blood Clan uses these pools to fight!

This Hell Valley is a barren land for ordinary people, but for the Blood Clan, it is a natural armory!

"I see, no wonder they dared to squander money so recklessly."

Ryoichi suddenly realized, and then instead of fear, a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

He reached down to his chest, where a crystal emitting a faint blue light adorned the necklace pendant.

"Perfect timing, I can take this opportunity to test the power bestowed upon me by Lord Aoba."

Ye Cang glanced at him and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Which technique do you want to use?"

"Um."

Liang nodded, his excitement growing even stronger.

Yecang didn't say much, but silently took a few steps back to create a safe distance.

Ryoichi took a deep breath, took out a blue pill from his pocket, and swallowed it without hesitation.

This pill was specially formulated by Qingye to replenish the energy that the body rapidly consumed during the transformation process.

Immediately afterwards, Ryoichi tore off his shirt, revealing the Grell Stone O embedded in a specially made base.

He took a deep breath, pulled the crystal out abruptly, and then plunged it fiercely into his palm!

"Ugh—"

—

With a low roar, the dark blue energy instantly surged from his palm into Ryoichi's limbs and bones.

The next second, starting from the palm of his hand, a strange grayish-white pattern began to spread rapidly along Ryoichi's arm!

His muscles bulged and swelled at a visible rate, and his skin gradually lost its normal color, turning into an almost rock-like grayish-white.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

The sound of bones stretching echoed continuously.

Ryoichi's height increased by nearly half a foot in just a few seconds, and two backward-curving beast horns grew from the top of his head.

His facial features became more rugged, and his pupils changed from black to golden vertical pupils, giving him a beast-like sense of oppression.

Half-beast!

Unlike Hyde's brutal energy infusion that fully activates the crystal, Aoba's improved Grell Stone no longer simply injects crystal energy into the body for violent enhancement. Instead, it uses blood as a medium to guide the crystal energy and body cells to undergo a semi-beast transformation.

Feeling the terrifying power surging within him, the mutated Ryoichi grinned, revealing sharp teeth.

"Power—is surging up!"

Ryoichi felt the surging power within him and clenched his fist.

With a wave of his right hand, the red sand rapidly condensed in his palm, transforming into a dark red sand longsword.

Immediately afterwards, a pale blue chakra covered the sword, emitting a faint, high-frequency hum.

The next instant, Ryoichi's figure disappeared from the spot.

boom!

The ground cracked open, and rocks flew everywhere.

When he reappeared, he was already among the Blood Clan.

The crimson longsword swept out with a piercing sound, and the first Blood Clan ninja was cut in two along with his blood shield before he could even react!

"Kill him!"

The remaining members of the Blood Clan frantically activated the blood in the blood pool, and countless blood dragons came from all directions to strangle Ryoichi.

However, at this moment, Ryoichi's reaction speed and power output have both reached another level.
