Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 265 Uchiha's Blind Box

The moment Konan heard the name "Nagato" uttered by Aoba, her nerves tensed instantly.

The white paper around her, which had calmed down, began to stir restlessly again.

Nagato's name was a closely guarded secret within the entire Akatsuki organization.

Even official members like Kakuzu and Sasori only knew that the "leader" of Akatsuki was Pain, not Nagato, and Pain also appeared in public as Yahiko.

Sunny—No, how did Yamashiro Aoba know that Nagato was the actual controller of the Akatsuki?

"What exactly do you know?"

Xiao Nan's voice was very low, and her tone was full of vigilance.

Seeing Xiaonan's alarmed expression, Qingye simply smiled faintly.

"I know far more than you can imagine."

Aoba shrugged, speaking casually, "For example, Nagato's Rinnegan, for example, the Six Paths of Pain, for example—the Gedo Mazo."

.

"But—now is not the time to tell you the whole truth."

"The truth? What truth?"

Xiao Nan frowned and pressed for an answer.

"Because of that masked man who calls himself Uchiha Madara."

Aoba's smile faded, and his gaze became deep.

"That masked man is your real enemy."

"A masked man?!"

From the day she first met the masked man, Xiaonan had always been extremely wary of this man of unknown origin who called himself "Uchiha Madara".

Although they cooperated in name only, they were wary of each other in private, and neither of them truly trusted the other.

However, what Aoba said next truly shocked her.

"The one who killed the Buddha and Kyusuke was the masked man."

Xiao Nan's pupils suddenly contracted, and her originally cool expression instantly crumbled, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Daibutsu and Kyusuke were the core members of the Akatsuki organization when it was first established, and they were also their most trusted companions.

Their deaths remain an indelible pain in the hearts of Xiaonan and Nagato.

They had always thought it was Hanzo who did it.

Later, Yamashiro Aoba exposed the Root's information, and they saw information about Hanzo's collusion with Danzo, so they thought Danzo was also involved.

But now, Yamashiro Aoba is telling her that the real killer is the masked man who has been lurking among them all along?!

But if what Aoba said is true, then the masked man's purpose in hiding among them is—

"How did you know?!"

Xiao Nan's voice trembled slightly.

How I know it is not important.

Aoba's expression remained calm as she looked directly into Xiaonan's eyes. "The important thing is that you all understand who the real enemy is!"

"Hanzo and Danzo are indeed guilty, but they are merely pawns. The one pulling the strings behind the scenes is that masked man, using you to collect the Tailed Beasts to achieve his own goals!"

"Now?"

Xiao Nan keenly spotted the flaw in Qing Ye's words.

"Yes, now."

Aoba nodded. "I will tell you everything when the time is right."

Xiao Nan fell silent, but the turbulent emotions in her eyes revealed that her heart was far from as calm as it appeared.

After a moment of silence, Aoba took out a scroll and two small sealed test tubes containing a dark red liquid from his ninja tool bag.

"This scroll contains a ninjutsu called Impure World Reincarnation."

Qingye handed the items to Xiaonan.

"This technique can temporarily summon the soul of the deceased back to the mortal world from the Pure Land."

"There are two conditions for performing the spell: one is to use the deceased's bodily tissues as a medium, and the other is to use a living person as a sacrifice."

At this point, Qingye paused, a meaningful smile appearing on her lips.

"Of course, if you think it's too cruel to use ordinary living people as sacrifices, you can use those White Zetsu instead, and the effect will be better."

Impure World Reincarnation—can it temporarily revive the dead?!

Xiao Nan's hands trembled slightly as she slowly took the roll and test tube.

"As for those two vials of blood—"

Aoba pointed to the test tube in Konan's hand, "It contains the blood of Daibutsu and Kyusuke, respectively."

"Use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to summon them back, and directly ask them what exactly happened back then, who killed them, and that will verify my words."

The blood of Daibutsu and Kyusuke?!

Xiao Nan immediately remembered that Yamashiro Aoba, under the alias Seimei, had treated them years ago, so she took blood samples from all of them.

Did he already know that back then?

Looking at her expression, Qingye paused, then added a sentence.

"If you miss Yahiko, you can even summon him to have a chat."

"Yahiko's corpse should have been turned into a puppet by Nagato, right? As for Pain, I don't need to provide the medium, do I?"

hiss!

Xiao Nan gasped, her hands, which had been trembling slightly, now clenched tightly.

Aoba knew perfectly well that Nagato had turned Yahiko's corpse into a Pain puppet!

Who exactly is this man in front of me?!

What exactly is his source of intelligence?

Xiao Nan's heart was in turmoil, but her strong willpower quickly allowed her to suppress these surging emotions.

The most important thing now is not to question Aoba's source of information, but to verify whether what he said is true.

If the masked man really was the mastermind behind the murders of the Buddha and Kyusuke—

So everything they've done over the years may very well have been paving the way for the real enemy!

At this moment, she already believed what Qingye had said.

She took a deep breath, carefully put the scroll and test tube into her bosom, looked up at Qingye, and spoke solemnly.

"Thank you for the information. I will verify all of this."

She paused, then said, "If what you said proves to be true, the Akatsuki will remember this favor."

After saying that, Xiao Nan turned around and prepared to leave.

But just as she was about to unleash the Paper Dance, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at Aoba.

"Just a heads up."

Xiao Nan's voice returned to its usual cool and aloof tone.

"Your bounty of 360 million taels is not something that just any small ninja village can afford."

"Apart from Konoha, the high-ranking officials of the other major countries seem to be in frequent private contact recently."

"You'd better watch out. Your very presence is already making some people uneasy."

Splash!

After saying this, Xiao Nan stopped and the papers behind her unfolded with a rustling sound, reforming into a pair of pure white paper wings.

The Dance of Shikigami!

With a flap of its wings, it sped towards the distant horizon and disappeared into the end of the sandstorm in the blink of an eye.

Silence returned to the Gobi Desert.

Looking in the direction Xiaonan left, Qingye stroked his chin and couldn't help but click his tongue.

Are the major ninja villages in secret contact?

This is interesting.

No wonder Kakuzu's eyes were glowing green when he saw himself.

"Three hundred and sixty million taels, that's enough to easily buy a small ninja village."

Aoba muttered to himself.

As his power and influence grow, every decision he makes and every action he takes continues to shape the future of the world.

The changes to the original plot are becoming increasingly significant.

"The prophet's memories are about to expire—"

Aoba muttered a complaint to himself before using Reverse Summoning Technique to return.

In the following period, the ninjas on the front lines began to withdraw to Konoha in batches.

However, during this large-scale withdrawal, a group of people were intercepted by Aoba.

This included ninjas from the Uchiha clan.

As the frontline commander, Aoba used his authority to intercept all the Uchiha clan members who participated in the battle and incorporated them into his personal guard.

Although the third generation had some reservations about this decision, given Aoba's current influence and prestige, they ultimately had to reluctantly accept it.

Aoba had his reasons for doing this.

Although he has now drastically changed the political landscape of Konoha, Danzo is in a terrible predicament, his true identity has been exposed, and the Third Hokage is about to abdicate.

But who can say for sure what will happen with the inertia of history?

What if Danzo, that old dog, suddenly goes crazy one day, or Obito, that lunatic, comes back to cause trouble and tries to do something underhanded to the Uchiha clan?

If the entire Uchiha clan were to gather in the small clan territory of Konoha Village, they would be easy targets, too easy to be wiped out in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Aoba had to leave a portion of the Uchiha clan outside.

They even arranged it right under their noses.

Putting all your eggs in one basket is too dangerous; this way, you can at least preserve a seed for the Uchiha clan.

Also, to prevent the Sharingan from falling into the enemy's hands and being used as a resurrection coin, which would be such a waste.

Sharingan.

To be precise, it is called the "Kaleidoscope Sharingan," also known as the "Eye of the Mind."

The eye techniques of the Mangekyou Sharingan can awaken completely different abilities depending on the user.

The abilities of each pair of Mangekyou Sharingan are not fixed.

Instead, it is based on the strong emotions and inner desires of the holder when they open their eyes that they develop completely different exclusive eye techniques.

Itachi's Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, Obito's Kamui —

Each ability is far superior to conventional ninjutsu, and some of the eye techniques are considered to be at the rule level.

Based on Aoba's research and public testing over this period, he came to a surprising conclusion.

This so-called kaleidoscope eye technique is very likely a weakened version of a "divine technique"!

[Divine Magic]

This concept is currently unknown to anyone in the ninja world.

That was a power system that appeared in Aoba's memories from his previous life, after the Fourth Shinobi World War, during the Boruto series, which was known as "Unflammable Material".

That is a secret system unique to the Karma clan, a power belonging to a higher dimension.

Users do not need to form hand seals; they only need to consume their own chakra to unleash various incredible spatial interferences.

Time reversal, or even the "weapon" of the Law of Nature.

The abilities of the Rinnegan, such as gravity and repulsion, Limbo: Border Jail and Tenshu, should actually be classified as divine arts.

The Mangekyou Sharingan can draw upon the power within the Otsutsuki bloodline, but due to the severe dilution of the bloodline, it naturally cannot awaken a complete [divine technique].

He even lost his sight because the pupil technique he awakened was too powerful.

He knew very well that his enemies were not Madara Uchiha and Obito. Even the Fourth Shinobi World War in the original story was just an internal conflict in the ninja world. The real enemies were those extraterrestrial visitors.

They are the Tsutsuki clan, hidden deep in the starry sky, who could descend upon the ninja world at any moment!

Traditional Five Elements Ninjutsu are no match for Tsutsuki. Absorbing Ninjutsu is standard practice for him, and he also possesses unsolvable divine techniques.

Against an enemy of that caliber, simply overwhelming them with sheer numbers is futile.

Only magic can defeat magic, and only divine magic can fight against divine magic!

However, to think that one can create divine magic out of thin air is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Even Aoba, who has an auxiliary chip, needs a massive amount of data and samples as support.

"Why go through the arduous process of following the steps to research something when you can just open blind boxes?"

This is Aoba's plan!

The Uchiha clan is practically a natural treasure trove of divine techniques!

Even a weakened version is fine, and that's exactly what Aoba needs; otherwise, he wouldn't have studied the true divine arts much.

"Looks like we need to find an opportunity to increase the intensity of these Uchiha clans again."

Aoba stroked his chin, his mind already conjuring up all sorts of "exciting" plans.

He had previously scattered the Uchiha clan members into various teams, and that wasn't without its benefits; he had collected a considerable amount of data.

The essence of the Mangekyou Sharingan is that after experiencing an extremely intense emotional shock, the brain releases a special chakra that acts on a special protein in the eyes, thereby triggering a mutation at the basal level.

Simply put, it requires a deep bond first, and then, at a certain moment, experiencing an emotional shock that tears the soul apart.

Pain, despair, guilt, anger—any extreme negative emotion will do.

As for why it is a facial emotion, it is because the pain brought by facial emotions has the strongest emotional stimulation, thereby stimulating deeper forces in the human body.

Simply put, it's a "breakout".

After conducting a comprehensive physical data scan of all the Uchiha, Aoba discovered an interesting phenomenon.

Not all Uchiha clan members possess the potential to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Of the existing twenty-six Uchiha clan members with three tomoe, only one showed a unique "precursor to mutation" similar to Shisui in his individual eye cell structure and chakra circuit.

In the words of his previous life, this person possesses the "aptitude" to awaken the kaleidoscope.

The remaining nineteen people, no matter how intense the emotional stimulation, can only remain at the three-tomoe stage.

It's like a lock; not everyone has the key.

What determines the aptitude for awakening a kaleidoscope?

This is one of the questions that Aoba most wants to figure out right now.

Is it the purity of bloodline? Or the expression of specific gene segments?

Or perhaps it's related to the degree of dilution of the Tsutsuki bloodline?

Of course, these things still need time to be studied.

The Island of Oblivion.

Aoba led Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Ryu to the core area of ​​the laboratory.

Zhaoshemaru has been here for two whole days.

To be honest, Aoba thought it would take Orochimaru at least a week to familiarize himself with the island's equipment and technology.

As a result, the snake went through all the equipment and technology in the entire experimental area in just two days.

As expected of a top scientist in the ninja world, his efficiency is truly terrifying.
