Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 219 Robin Hood-like Revenue

The Island of Oblivion, on the eastern beach.

The waves crashed against the rocks, splashing up white sprays of water.

On the beach, two figures were colliding and crossing paths at an extremely fast speed.

Ryoichi held a ball of scarlet sand in his hand, which, shaped by chakra, transformed into a curved blade and slashed out with a sharp whooshing sound.

Yekura, on the other side, had a cold expression. He used his kunai to parry precisely, and the metal collided with the red sand, producing a piercing friction sound and sparks flying everywhere.

hum!

In Ryoichi's right eye, the image of his opponent was reflected in the crimson blood dragon eye.

With the blessing of this Blood Dragon Eye, Ye Cang's every move was slowed down several times.

The subtle tremor of her shoulders, the direction of her toes' exertion, and even the trajectory of her muscles contracting as she clenched her kunai were all clearly reflected in Ryoichi's field of vision.

"Left side!"

Ryoichi almost instinctively dodged to the side, and Yekura's kunai grazed his ribs, leaving only a shallow white mark.

In the past, this strike would have been enough to force him out of the fight on the spot.

Now, he not only dodged it, but also has the strength to fight back!

The red sand scimitar swung upwards, aiming straight for Yekura's jaw.

Ye Cang frowned, leaned back to avoid the blade, and left two deep marks on the sand with his feet. Then he flipped over to create distance.

The two looked at each other, both panting heavily.

Standing not far away, Aoba crossed his arms and watched the duel with great interest.

While the Blood Dragon Eye can rival the regular Sharingan, unlike the Sharingan which focuses on perception, the Blood Dragon Eye's core advantage lies in the realm of illusion.

Of course, even if it is slightly lacking in insight, it is still far beyond the limits of ordinary humans.

It was these eyes that brought about a complete transformation in Ryoichi.

Before the eye transplant, in a pure contest of physical skills, Ryoichi couldn't even last ten moves against Yokura.

Now, the two are actually fighting back and forth.

You should know that Yekura's physical skills are extremely strong.

Back on the front lines, Aoba needed to use a chip to maintain a slight advantage over Yekura.

By simply changing one eye, Ryoichi gained the ability to directly confront Yekura. It has to be said that the boost that bloodline limit provides to a ninja is truly immense.

"This eye is really useful."

Ryoichi was secretly delighted.

Without hesitation, he slashed his palm with a kunai, and blood gushed out instantly.

The blood instantly transformed into several scarlet blades in mid-air, hurtling towards Ye Cang at an extremely strange and tricky angle.

Compared to using the red sand before, the blood under the control of the Blood Dragon Eye is undoubtedly more flexible and more deadly!

Ye Cang moved swiftly, wielding his kunai to shatter the incoming blood blades one by one.

But the shattered blood did not fall to the ground. Instead, under Ryoichi's control, it gathered again, as if it had a life of its own, and surrounded Yokura from all directions.

Just as Ryoichi was about to further activate the Blood Dragon Eye to cast an illusion on Yokura, a piercing pain suddenly shot through his right eye.

"Well!"

Ryoichi groaned, covered his right eye and knelt on one knee. The blood blade in mid-air also lost control and scattered on the beach.

"Alright, that's enough."

Aoba, who had been watching from a distance, spoke up at the opportune moment to stop the match.

He walked over to Ryoichi, placed one hand on Ryoichi's right eye, and let the pale green medical chakra seep into the eye socket, beginning a detailed examination.

A moment later, Qingye withdrew her hand.

"It's nothing serious. It's just that you just got a new eye, and your body's meridians and optic nerves need some time to adapt to the high-intensity chakra output. It's just an adverse reaction; you'll be fine after a rest."

"Understood, Lord Aoba."

Ryoichi breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his hand from his eyes.

"besides."

Looking at Ryoichi's wound, Aoba couldn't help but retort, "Don't bleed yourself out so easily in fights. Do you think you're a blood cow? Hematopoietic stem cells are limited too!"

"It's true that Blood Dragon Eye can manipulate blood, but there's no need to use your own blood. You can prepare some blood packs in advance and carry them with you. You can use the blood of enemies or animals."

"There's no shortage of blood on the battlefield, but a shortage of brains."

Ryoichi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Yes, how did he get so fixated on this? He's just gotten used to bleeding himself dry.

Aoba launched into a live tutorial: "Furthermore, the Blood Dragon Eye's ability isn't just about turning blood into swords. It can control the flow of blood within the human body, and even inject chakra to cause the blood to explode—essentially a human bomb."

"You need to study the other changes in blood form to enrich your combat methods. Don't just rush in and hack away like an idiot every time."

"Most importantly, the Blood Dragon Eye's genjutsu abilities are extremely powerful, even comparable to the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan. This is the direction you should focus on from now on, understand?"

Ryoichi nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with fervor: "I understand, Lord Aoba!"

"Alright, you can figure out the specific abilities yourself. It's time to go out and do some work." Aoba took out a scroll from his pocket and tossed it to Ryoichi.

"Go to the Land of Waves and find a man named Kado."

"Kado?"

Ryoichi repeated it again, puzzled.

"Yes, this man is the president of the shipping company 'Kado Company,' a big fat sheep."

A glint of light flashed in Aoba's eyes. "He has a group of gangsters and wandering ninjas under his command who specialize in smuggling contraband and secretly control the Land of Waves' maritime lifeline."

"I need you to go over there and control him."

Aoba spoke in a calm tone, as if he were talking about something trivial.

With the end of the Third Shinobi World War, all the major ninja villages are recuperating, and the demand for summoning beasts has decreased significantly.

In addition, all the island's resources and funds were poured into that damned "Ultimate Summoning Beast Project," and a large sum of money was spent on repairing the base later.

The island is now living beyond its means, relying entirely on Aoba's own savings and Hyde's legacy to stay afloat.

But living off one's savings is not Aoba's style.

Moreover, Aoba had already made Forgotten Island his secret base, and he didn't want to sell summoning beasts to the outside world anymore, lest he attract the attention of the five great ninja villages.

Without income from selling summoned beasts, the only option left is to "rob the rich to help the poor".

Having experienced two sudden windfalls, Aoba knew one thing well: in business, nothing makes money faster than robbery.

Controlling Kado is equivalent to controlling a continuous financial chain, enough to continuously infuse the Forgotten Island with resources.

"Besides controlling Kado, keep an eye out for those remaining members of the Vortex Clan who have been stranded elsewhere, and bring them back to the island."

Aoba added.

"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"

Ryoichi packed up the scroll, turned around, and quickly left.

Watching Ryoichi's departing figure, Yekura slowly walked over.

Ye Cang's expression has been very serious ever since the competition ended.

Although the two had only exchanged a few words and neither had gone all out, at their level, the competition was all about tactics and intelligence.

Yecang knew very well that if it had really been a life-or-death battle, Ryoichi, with his Blood Dragon Eyes, would have caused her a lot of trouble.

It can be said that Ryoichi's current strength is not much worse than hers.

Yekura didn't actually have much feeling about Ryoichi.

In her view, this person had almost no outstanding talents except for his almost abnormal loyalty to Aoba.

Yekura couldn't even understand what it was about this guy that Aoba saw in him.

But this mediocre person, after being "modified" several times by Aoba, experienced an explosive increase in strength, directly crossing the gap that ordinary ninjas could hardly cross in their entire lives, and possessing strength comparable to her, a hero of Sunagakure.

You must know that Yekura is a genius of Sunagakure. She has undergone rigorous training and countless battles since childhood to achieve her current strength.

Does that mean...?

If Aoba were willing, could he mass-produce countless people with the same strength as Ryoichi?

This idea sent a chill down Yekura's spine.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at Aoba was also filled with complexity.

Aoba keenly caught Yekura's gaze, and a playful smile curved his lips.

"What? Look at your expression, aren't you envious?"

He leaned closer and teased in a low voice, "Want me to give you a new pair of eyes too? Sharingan or Byakugan, you pick one?"

"No need!"

Ye Cang rolled her eyes and decisively took a step back to create some distance: "I don't want to have some weird parts installed on myself."

Although she was indeed somewhat shocked by Ryoichi's terrifying rate of growth in strength, her pride as a strong person made her scoff at such power obtained through external means.

"I firmly believe that only the power gained through one's own hard work and cultivation truly belongs to oneself." Ye Cang's gaze was unwavering.

"Not bad, as expected of Pakura with her Scorching Release!"

Aoba nodded approvingly. "An artificially raised ceiling will eventually be its limitation. Ryoichi's potential has already been exhausted. Whether he can go further depends on how far I can go!"

Then Aoba dropped his joking expression and changed the subject, "How's your Earth Release training going?"

Upon hearing this question, Yecang didn't waste any words and simply extended his right hand.

Her chakra rapidly transformed, and fine sand particles began to gather above her palm, coalescing into a hard rock in just a few seconds.

"Not bad, your control over chakra nature transformation is quite good."

Seeing this, Aoba immediately nodded, "Now that the conditions for Earth Escape have been met, it's time to fulfill my promise."

As he spoke, Aoba took out a scroll from his ninja tool bag and casually tossed it to Yekura.

Yekura took the scroll, unfolded it, and immediately showed an expression of undisguised shock.

"How is that possible?!"

Ye Cang suddenly raised her head, staring intently at Qingye, her voice trembling slightly, "You...you really cracked it?"

The scroll contained the village's top secret: the training method for Magnet Release, a bloodline limit passed down through generations of Kazekage!
