Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 227 Who gave you your confidence?

"Did you notice me?"

The nine-tailed fox's scarlet eyes looked down at the humans beneath its feet, as if it were watching an ant about to be crushed.

But Aoba was not affected by this terrifying sense of oppression.

Instead, his attention was entirely focused on Kurama's eyes.

The pupils of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Those were not the vertical pupils that a tailed beast should have.

Deep within that scarlet iris, three tomoe-shaped markings are faintly visible, embedded at the outermost edge of the pupil.

Because the Nine-Tails' pupils are naturally scarlet, and the three tomoe markings are almost integrated with the edge of its iris, it would be impossible to notice this detail unless one is looking directly at it at such close range.

"No wonder no one noticed..."

Aoba understood.

No wonder the Uchiha clan was only suspected later on.

Just then, the Nine-Tailed Fox raised its massive front paws.

An overwhelming shadow descended, carrying an aura of annihilation, and slammed down upon Qingye.

Qingye remained expressionless, clasped his hands together, and slammed them hard against the ground.

"Ninjutsu: Inukai Kenmei!"

Rumble!

The earth trembled violently, and cracks spread outwards like a spider web.

The next second, several enormous monsters with dragon heads and snake bodies burst out of the ground, opened their blood-red maws filled with sharp teeth, and coiled around the nine-tailed fox's limbs like chains, biting them tightly!

Nine-Tailed Fox's movements suddenly stopped, its immense power actually being held back by these monsters.

At the same time, Aoba took out two scrolls from his waist and unrolled them.

boom!boom!

A massive amount of sand, like a flood bursting its banks, gushed out of the scroll with overwhelming force, sweeping towards the Nine-Tails' body!

Layer upon layer of sand clung to the Nine-Tails' body, starting from its ankles and spreading upwards along its limbs, quickly binding the Nine-Tails' massive body firmly in place!

"So...so strong!"

"He actually managed to restrain the Nine-Tails all by himself!"

In the distance, the Konoha ninjas who were forced to retreat saw this scene and their faces showed expressions of ecstasy and shock.

Even the Third Hokage, standing high above, had a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Of course, that alone is not enough.

Just as Aoba was preparing to take the next step, a sudden change occurred.

puff!

Without warning, a sharp wooden splinter pierced Qingye's back, went straight through his abdomen, and emerged from his body in the front!

A deep, hoarse voice rang in Qingye's ears, carrying undisguised killing intent.

"Although I'd love to enjoy the devastation of Konoha a little longer, I need to get rid of you, you troublesome fellow, first."

A figure wearing a tiger-skin mask and a black robe appeared behind Qingye like a ghost.

Aoba glanced down at the splinter protruding from his abdomen, but showed no sign of pain.

He didn't even frown; he simply turned his head expressionlessly and glanced at the masked man behind him with the look of someone looking at trash.

"Wood Release? Is that all you've got?"

Aoba snorted disdainfully.

"What?!"

The Sharingan beneath the black robe and Obito mask contracted sharply.

He was shocked to discover that the hard wooden splinter that had pierced Qingye's body had turned charred black in an instant.

Chi Chi Chi!

With a piercing sound, scorching smoke billowed from Qingye's wound. The wooden splinter, strong enough to pierce steel, was actually melted by a terrifying heat!

Aoba slowly raised his hand and grabbed Obito's neck with a backhand.

However, his palm passed right through Obito's body as if passing through a phantom.

Suppressing his shock, Obito in black robes leaped backward to create distance.

"it's useless!"

Obito's voice was deep and arrogant, "Your attacks are completely ineffective against me!"

As he retreated, Obito flicked his hands, and several kunai with explosive tags attached shot towards Aoba like lightning.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The kunai struck Aoba's body with pinpoint accuracy, but strangely, not a single drop of blood flowed from the wound.

Boom!

A violent explosion rang out, and the intense flames instantly engulfed the green leaves, sending thick smoke billowing into the sky.

Obito stared intently at the center of the explosion, his eyes behind the mask filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Obito saw the scene before him and immediately gasped in shock.

Qingye remained standing quietly in place, and his half-body, which had been blown apart by the explosive tag, was not in a bloody mess.

Instead, there was molten lava flowing with a dark red glow!

Aoba lowered her head, casually glanced at her hollowed-out half of her body, then raised her head and looked at Obito with an expression of utter disdain, making no attempt to hide the mockery on her face.

"Explosive tags?"

"Kids' toys."

As he finished speaking, the flowing lava began to rapidly recover and reorganize.

In just a few breaths, the horrific, fatal wound healed completely, leaving not a single scar.

Obito stared in shock at the scene, feeling as if his entire understanding had been overturned.

What kind of ninjutsu is that?!

It can actually turn the body into magma, making it immune to physical attacks!

Obito fell silent.

A strong sense of dread rose in my heart.

If there's anyone in Konoha who poses the biggest challenge to him, then Yamashiro Aoba in front of him would definitely be number one, and his teacher Minato Namikaze would be number two.

Minato Namikaze is very strong, but his strength is all out in the open and is basically known.

But Yamashiro Aoba is different.

This guy has never truly shown his full strength.

They're always hiding it, keeping it to themselves.

When someone learns a powerful ninjutsu, they'll usually show it off a little.

But this guy will never.

You have no idea how many cards he still has up his sleeve.

What Obito feared even more was that Aoba had conducted extremely terrifying research on the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

Back then, it was Aoba who helped him awaken his Sharingan, and he immediately had two tomoe! This is an extremely rare occurrence even in the history of the Uchiha clan.

An outsider who is not from the Uchiha clan has a deeper understanding of the Sharingan than the Uchiha clan members themselves!

This is just unbelievable!

However, Obito sneered inwardly.

No matter how much you study it, you will never know the secret of the Mangekyou Sharingan!

Just as Obito was secretly pleased with himself, Aoba's voice rang out again.

"Is that all you've got?"

"A inferior version of Wood Release, Explosive Tags, Penetration..."

As Aoba spoke, he walked forward slowly, his tone calm, "Penetration is the ability of your Mangekyou Sharingan, isn't it?"

Obito's body stiffened abruptly.

"wrong……"

Aoba tilted his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something. "The way you appeared behind me just now was very sudden, like you appeared out of thin air, without any warning signs of chakra fluctuations."

"So this eye of yours should possess a spatial eye technique."

Obito's Sharingan behind the mask suddenly contracted.

"Looks like I guessed right."

Aoba watched Obito's reaction and a slight smile appeared on his lips. "So, penetration is actually just transferring your body to another dimension, right? When a material attack passes through your body, it's not because you become nothingness, but because you transferred the attacked part to another dimension."

silence.

Dead silence.

"Not going to talk anymore?"

Qingye chuckled softly.

"It seems I was right."

Behind the mask, Obito's face was extremely pale.

How did he know about the Mangekyou Sharingan?!

And with just this simple exchange, they completely uncovered the biggest secret of his Mangekyou Sharingan.

Fear and murderous intent grew wildly in Obito's heart.

This man is terrifying, so we absolutely cannot let him go!

A strong killing intent suddenly erupted from Obito's body, spreading out as if it were a tangible substance.

Sensing the killing intent, Qingye revealed a disdainful look.

"You think you can kill me with your crippled Wood Release and a Mangekyou Sharingan?"

He slowly raised his hand and took off his sunglasses.

"Who gave you your confidence?"

Aoba opened her right eye.

The moment Obito saw Aoba's right eye, it was as if he had seen a ghost. The single eye under the mask suddenly contracted, and his body uncontrollably retreated.

Because it was a Mangekyou Sharingan he had never seen before!

"No, impossible! How could you possibly have...?"

For the first time, Obito's voice trembled noticeably.

How could an outsider possibly possess the Mangekyou Sharingan, which is unique to the Uchiha clan!

Aoba didn't give him any chance to ask questions. His eerie Mangekyou Sharingan was fixed on Obito, and his lips moved slightly as he uttered two words.

"Nisunai."

Obito's pupils suddenly contracted.

The next second, he felt an invisible force pierce his heart.

Ugh!

Obito let out a muffled groan, clutching his chest tightly before collapsing to his knees and quickly falling silent.
