Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 329 Since We're Here

Aoba looked at the unconscious Obito with a calm expression.

"Let's keep him for now; he's still somewhat useful."

"Letting him die like this is too easy for him."

Although I know that Obito was also a fool who was tricked, he did many of the things after all.

And was he really deceived?

That's not necessarily true!

Obito must have sensed something, but because of Rin's death, he chose to believe Madara, or rather, to believe in the flawed Eye of the Moon plan.

It's like a drowning person grabbing at a straw.

This is why Obito broke away from Madara and went solo in the original work. If Black Zetsu hadn't discovered Obito's selfish motives and used Kabuto to bring out the reanimated Madara, the Fourth Shinobi World War might have ended much earlier.

The most troublesome one now is Black Zetsu.

"Black Zetsu has given up on Obito, and the future has been completely changed."

Aoba sighed.

From now on, the advantage of knowing the plot is gone.

Also, the person who was supposed to die didn't, which is troublesome now.

Tsunade: "You just said that Black Zetsu controlled Danzo?"

"Yes, Danzo's condition is a bit off, but he is definitely that old guy."

"Is this why you've been letting Obito cause trouble everywhere, and why you've been hesitant to kill him?"

"That's just one of the reasons."

Aoba didn't finish his sentence.

He was verifying a hypothesis.

He initially thought the Sage of Six Paths might be the mastermind behind all this, but as his strength increased, he gradually realized that things might not be so simple!

"Obito may be troublesome, but we all know his abilities. Even if he gets out of control now, I can still handle him."

"But if Black Zetsu changes his pieces, then things might be different."

"Will Danzo be more troublesome than Obito?" Tsunade asked.

"Danzo himself is not the problem; the problem lies with the Root organization that Danzo controls."

In the original story, even after Danzo died, the remaining Root members caused quite a stir, revealing the coordinates of the ninja world and allowing Momoshiki to find it ahead of time.

"And me too, I'm not the only one worried about Danzo."

Kato Dan's expression shifted: "You mean—Uchiha Madara?"

"That's right."

Tsunade frowned.

"But wasn't Madara Uchiha already dead?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tsunade suddenly realized what she was doing, and her pupils contracted sharply.

"You mean—Madara Uchiha will also be resurrected?!"

Then she remembered the theft of the sealed chamber.

"No wonder—no wonder that guy went to steal the scrolls from the Book of Seals!"

Aoba raised an eyebrow.

"The Book of Seals was stolen?"

Tsunade gritted her teeth and said, "A scroll was lost; it was a forbidden technique left behind by my second grandfather."

Qingye rubbed her temples.

"So what was lost was a scroll containing the Impure World Reincarnation technique?"

"Um."

Tsunade's expression was rather unpleasant.

Okay, I knew it.

We'll talk about Madara Uchiha later; let's deal with the immediate problem first.

"Aoba, I was patrolling the village just now and I discovered something very troublesome."

Dan recounted in detail how he used his spiritualization technique to discover that the Dark Division and the Security Division had been parasitized.

Upon hearing this, Qingye's eyes lit up.

"A White Zetsu that can parasitize?"

"It should be that special White Zetsu that can use the Spore Technique."

Aoba stroked his chin, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

In the original work, although White Zetsu can use spore technology, it is mostly used to infiltrate and gather intelligence. When did it become able to erode and parasitize its host?

Qingye formed hand seals and summoned a large lizard.

"Send this guy to Orochimaru and tell him not to kill him; he'll still be useful."

The large lizard nodded.

It stuck out its tongue, scooped up some soil from the ground, swallowed it, and then turned into white smoke and disappeared.

"Let's go back and see what's going on."

Aoba turned to look at Tsunade and Dan.

As for Kakashi standing to the side—

Kakashi was still standing there blankly, exuding an air of dejection.

Everything that happened today had a huge impact on him.

"Let him have some peace and quiet. Some things he can only figure out on his own."

Inside the Hokage's office.

The clump of white spores that Tsunade had forcibly ripped off still lay quietly on the ground.

Qingye squatted down and examined it carefully.

"It is indeed a White Zetsu clone."

"There is a special White Zetsu that can release special spores, which are actually clones of the White Zetsu."

Aoba stood up and explained to the two of them.

"When the white spores are in a dormant state, they show almost no chakra fluctuations, so most sensory ninjas cannot detect them."

"Once activated, they will absorb the host's chakra and may even restrict the host's actions."

Tsunade frowned.

"What do we do now? We don't know how many people in the village have been infected by the parasite."

"Leave it to me."

Qingye smiled slightly and put her hands together in prayer position.

Sage Mode, activated!

Natural energy rapidly converged on the green leaves.

When Aoba opened her eyes again, a faint blue eyeshadow appeared at the corner of her eyes.

Tsunade looked at Aoba's face and her eyes lit up.

"Your Sage Mode————"

In the past, when Aoba activated Sage Mode, he would still have some beast-like characteristics.

But now, apart from eyeshadow, she is almost no different from an ordinary person.

Aoba raised an eyebrow smugly.

"Of course, I've pretty much figured out the principles of Sage Mode."

"Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll teach you this improved version of the Sage Mode."

Aoba looked at Tsunade and Dan, his tone slightly teasing.

"Maintaining 'sage mode' for extended periods can be very beneficial to the body."

"In addition to prolonging life, it can also keep the body in optimal functional condition."

At this point, Aoba glanced at Tsunade and a mischievous smile crept onto his lips.

"Most importantly, with better physical function, the chances of having offspring are also greater."

This statement came out.

Tsunade's cheeks instantly flushed red.

"You—you brat! What nonsense are you spouting!"

Kato Dan, standing to the side, blushed and scratched his head sheepishly.

"Ahem, let's get down to business, let's get down to business."

Soon, a parasitized ANBU ninja was brought into the office.

Aoba walked up to the ANBU member and put his hand on his shoulder.

Sage Chakra was injected into the body of the Anbu.

Soon a cluster of white spores rapidly swelled up from his back.

However, unlike before, this time, under the catalysis of natural forces, the White Zetsu spores did not directly absorb the host's chakra, but instead rapidly expanded and took shape.

The divine trees originally absorbed the natural energy of the planet, so they have a higher affinity for natural energy.

Soon the white spores matured under catalysis and fell off the dark part of the body.

"They actually managed to find us—"

Aoba's pupils changed instantly, transforming into three-tomoe Sharingan.

They directly controlled the White Zetsu using illusion magic.

Tsunade, standing to the side, couldn't help but click her tongue twice; this kid really knows a lot.

He uses the Sharingan more like an Uchiha than the Uchiha himself.

It was just a spore clone, and its brain didn't contain any useful information.

However, this delighted Aoba.

Because this White Zetsu is not fundamentally different from the White Zetsu he captured before.

In other words, theoretically, as long as there is enough chakra or natural power, countless White Zetsu can be created.

Tsunade asked, "Can you solve this?"

"The problem of being parasitized is easy to solve, but the most important problem now is—"

"We need to find the source!"

"That special White Zetsu that can release spores must be hiding in Konoha Village!"

If the source isn't addressed, even if these clones are cleared out, new people will soon be parasitized.

at the same time.

Konoha Village, the territory of the Hyuga clan.

The Fourth Elder suddenly revealed a strange smile.

"Oh? We've been discovered—"

"As expected of Konoha, their reaction is really fast."

He could sense that one of his spore clones had been passively activated.

The other Hyuga clan members in the room seemed to have seen nothing at all, despite the Fourth Elder's strange smile.

Clearly, these people have been corrupted by the white spores and have lost their sense of self.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door.

-

A ninja from the Hyuga branch family respectfully reported at the gate: "Fourth Elder, Second Elder has arrived."

"Hehehe, so you've finally arrived—"

The strange smile on the Fourth Elder's face slowly faded.

The Island of Oblivion, the Laboratory.

"Aoba-kun, I feel like this place is becoming your dumping ground."

"Don't send me everything."

Aoba glanced at Orochimaru with surprise.

Now even Obito, a test subject, is no longer valued. It seems Orochimaru has thoroughly researched Hashirama's cells.

Aoba's gaze fell on the laboratory table.

There, a specially made glass container was placed, with the purple Rinnegan floating silently.

It was Madara Uchiha's other Rinnegan.

"How's the research going?"

"Sparashi————"

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and washed his face.

"This is truly a perfect work of art, Aoba-kun."

"However, it won't be that quick to fully analyze it."

Orochimaru walked to the control panel and pulled up a data report.

"As expected of the legendary Rinnegan, even a single one contains immense power."

"Ordinary people simply cannot withstand this level of pupil power."

"Once transplanted, it will be like a bottomless pit, frantically devouring the host's chakra. Even an ordinary Chunin will have his chakra drained in an instant."

"Even the resilient Uzumaki clan can barely withstand it."

"But the power they can exert is less than one-tenth of that of this eye."

"Based on current testing, the best compatibility is with Uzumaki Shioori."

Aoba glanced at the list of experimenters and couldn't help but twitch his lips. Orochimaru's own name was on it.

This guy is experimenting on himself again.

Seemingly sensing Aoba's radiance, Orochimaru smiled nonchalantly.

"After all, they have eyes just like the legendary Sage of Six Paths; we should experience them for ourselves, shouldn't we?"

"What a pity—"

Orochimaru sighed. "Nagato refused the suggestion to transplant the Rinnegan again."

Nagato had been working with the Rinnegan for over a decade and was already adapted to it, making him the perfect experimental subject.

At this point, Orochimaru turned and looked Aoba up and down.

"Aoba-kun, how about you—try it yourself?"

Aoba: ? ? ?

Good heavens, Orochimaru doesn't even spare him.

But then again...

Aoba looked at the Rinnegan and stroked his chin.

Since we're already here...

How about giving it a try?

Having made up her mind, Aoba no longer hesitated.

He reached out and took off his own eyes.

His current technique for removing glasses is comparable to a magician changing cards.

Not only themselves, but also others.

Would you call this a case of practice makes perfect?

Laugh~

Aoba picked up the Rinnegan, pointed it at his eye socket, and pressed it directly into it.

The green light of the Palm Immortal Technique shone, and the optic nerve and blood vessels quickly connected.

The whole process takes only one second.

It's incredibly smooth.

However, at the very moment the nerve connection was established, the Rinnegan detected a "heartbeat".

Of course, the "heartbeat" was Aoba's illusion.

The real reason is that the Rinnegan reacted.

He could feel the Rinnegan frantically absorbing the chakra within his body.

"What an overbearing Rinnegan."

Just one eye has consumed so much of his chakra.

He's now a "Chatonra" ninja, so he can handle this level of exertion!

But this cycle of turning back showed no sign of stopping.

This is a bit strange.

[Beep! High-energy foreign organ detected!]

[Activate deep analysis mode to begin simulating the chakra pathways around the eyes —]

The Rinnegan was rejecting him, so it was frantically absorbing his chakra.

Bloodline?

Does this count as being looked down upon by an "eye"?

[Reshaping the meridian connections —]

The chip in his mind was working frantically, quickly building new chakra channels inside his eyes.

It's somewhat like cracking the core key.

Once the password was correct, the frantic absorption of chakra stopped.

Aoba lowered her hand.

He stared at Orochimaru with one Rinnegan.

Is this the world as seen through the Rinnegan?

It seems like that's all there is to it.

It lacks the Sharingan's keen insight, but it is exceptionally sensitive to chakra.

Simply put, it means being able to see the chakra and color within another person's body.

"Chakra—stopped."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.

Is it that [Pupil Technique] secret technique?

Orochimaru originally looked down on this kind of imitation technique, but now that he saw how easily Aoba "tamed" the Rinnegan, he felt that some techniques were worth learning from.

Just as Orochimaru was pondering how to "tame" the Rinnegan next...

Aoba's Rinnegan began to change.

The original ripples dissipated, transforming into a scarlet Mangekyou Sharingan pattern!

Immediately afterwards, the pattern of the kaleidoscope degenerated again, turning into a three-tomoe Sharingan.

Finally, the crimson faded, and the Rinnegan returned to being an ordinary eye.

"this----"

Orochimaru's eyes widened. "You've completely mastered this Rinnegan?!"

Aoba blinked.

That strange feeling of discomfort has disappeared.

His right eye now looks exactly the same as his original eye, with no difference whatsoever.

"How are you feeling?"

Orochimaru asked impatiently.

"It's a very strange feeling."

"The current state is unstable. Compared to the Sharingan, the Rinnegan is much harder to control."

"It's like a powder keg that could explode at any moment; it will reignite with just the slightest provocation."

A flash of inspiration struck Qingye.

That's how Nagato awakened the Rinnegan.

Because his parents died before his eyes, he awakened the Rinnegan under immense shock. Who would doubt that their eyes belonged to someone else?
