[Chapter 109. The Path of Bloodline! "Half-Level 109"! (Two chapters combined, 2 extra chapters for monthly votes)]

"Bai Yu?!"

Among the group of people drinking at the next table, Uchiha Chiho and Hyuga Hideto were prominently featured, while the other three were also wearing Konoha headbands.

"How come you are here?"

Bai Yu was somewhat surprised, feeling as if he had met an old friend in a foreign land.

After the White Fang incident, although the three belonged to Orochimaru's team and lived in the same village, they hadn't seen each other for at least half a year.

I never expected to run into you in the City of Fire.

"We've been here the whole time!" the Englishman complained, his face flushed and looking slightly tipsy. "We're on a mission to protect the Daimyo, and we've been here for seven months. A new batch of ninjas won't be here to relieve us for another five months. Don't you even know what your teammates are doing?"

Hyuga Hideto is usually quite taciturn, but he becomes much more talkative when he meets his friend Shiraha.

Even the three Chunin standing nearby looked at him with surprise, never expecting that the usually aloof Jonin captain would have such a side to him.

However, Bai Yu was very famous in Konoha, so they all knew him.

After all, she was a ninja hailed as the successor to Tsunade, a medical expert.

He doesn't look very strong, but he's really handsome!

"A guard mission? I've never heard of that before." Bai Yu was taken aback, then smiled and said, "It's all my fault for being too busy lately. I'll punish myself with a drink, okay?"

With that, Bai Yu picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

Chiho opened her mouth, as if to say that this was her cup.

"One glass isn't enough!" The Englishman picked up the wine bottle and filled Bai Yu's glass to the brim. "This meal is on you today!"

Without saying a word, Bai Yu tilted his head back and drank it down again, then turned the glass upside down.

Seeing the Englishman pour him more wine, Bai Yu smiled and said, "If you knock me out, I won't be able to treat you to a meal."

The Englishman then stopped pouring wine and said to the two people sitting opposite him, "Chiho, Ayane, move over a bit and make room for Shiraha. I'm going to make him pay dearly today!"

Upon hearing this, Hinata Ayane immediately moved closer to the wall, creating some space between herself and Chiho.

Chiho paused for a moment, then sat down inside as well.

Seeing this, Bai Yu sat down in a seat near the outside.

"Boss, another set of cutlery, please!"

The Englishman raised his hand.

Bai Yu then noticed the light pink lip print on the outer edge of the cup. Following Qian Sui's gaze, he calmly put the cup down without blushing or skipping a beat, wiped it clean with a cloth, and returned it to her.

"This...and this...I'll take them all, and the best wine!" When the waiter brought the cutlery, Yingren started adding dishes, just as he said, showing no mercy and looking like he really wanted to fleece Bai Yu.

"Senior Eijin, isn't this... a bit inappropriate?" Ayane Hinata covered her face with her hand, whispering a secret plot.

"Ayane, your worries are completely unnecessary. This guy is one of the richest people in Konoha! Not to mention the share of his invention of the medical scroll, just look at his girlfriend, do you know who she is? She's one of the richest women in Konoha... no! In the entire Land of Fire!"

The Englishman seemed to have thought of something, paused, and changed his words.

Bai Yu sensed the change in Yingren's emotions; it seemed he had something on his mind.

Bai Yu still admires Yingren, his teammate who took the initiative to lure the enemy away in a dangerous moment.

There is no overlap or conflict of interest between the two parties. While they may not be particularly close, their relationship can be considered a purely platonic friendship.

"Don't worry about my wallet. Even if you eat this restaurant out of business, I can still afford it."

Bai Yu said with a smile.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Hinata Ayane said with a smile.

The other two Chunin Uchiha who were sitting next to Yingren also thanked him repeatedly.

Bai Yu smiled, it seemed that the Uchiha who was with Chiho was quite normal, not as arrogant as rumored.

......

The group drank for about two hours.

"I want more... to drink! Let's continue! Let's go to... another place."

The Englishman was so drunk he was practically slurring his words, but he still didn't back down.

"I'm sorry everyone, Senior Yingren isn't usually like this."

Hinata Ayane supported the unsteady Eito, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

On the street, the Englishmen's shouts attracted the attention of passersby. However, drunkards making noise in front of izakayas every day was something that everyone was used to. It was just that the group's ninja attire attracted a little attention.

"Take him back to rest quickly. I already know where you are staying. I'll visit you again tomorrow."

Bai Yu said with a smile.

"Yes, goodbye, Shiraha-senpai," Hinata Ayane waved.

The other two Uchiha ninjas, seeing that Eijin was so big and was pressing down on the petite Hyuga Ayane, couldn't stand it anymore, so they lifted Eijin up from both sides.

"Don't help me up, I can still drink!?"

The Englishman struggled, but after drinking too much, he could barely stand and had no strength to resist.

Just as the group was about to leave, Bai Yu suddenly spoke up: "Qian Sui, can we walk together for a bit?"

Chiho was taken aback for a moment, then nodded silently.

"Bai Yu, you...you have to be careful. Trying to have your cake and eat it too...you'll get...stabbed!"

The Englishman, drunk, offered his advice.

"Get him out of here!" Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, wondering why the Englishman was behaving like this after drinking too much.

Having two relationships at the same time?

Is he that kind of person?

Even if he were, could he withstand Kushina's punch?

They just spout nonsense without considering the actual situation.

This is slander!

After the three of them led the Englishman away, Bai Yu pointed to a less crowded alley and said, "Let's go that way, there are fewer people there."

Chiho's eyes flickered slightly as she followed.

"Chiho, I'd like to ask you some questions about the Sharingan. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to tell me? Of course, if it's something that needs to be kept confidential, then just pretend I didn't ask."

Once they were all alone, Bai Yu spoke first.

There is no record of the kaleidoscope in the village archives.

If you want to learn more, you should naturally look for Chiho, a Jonin from the Uchiha clan, since she is Shiraha's only close Uchiha friend.

Chiho seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and nodded, saying:

"There's nothing particularly confidential."

She remembered her grandfather, Uchiha Hayato's, advice to get closer to Shiraha.

Now it's clearly time.

How much do you know about the Mangekyou Sharingan?

Seeing that she was so straightforward, Bai Yu didn't beat around the bush and asked her directly.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan?" Chiho was taken aback, not expecting Shiraha to ask such a confidential question right away.

However, for some ninja clans that have had interactions with the Uchiha since the Warring States period, whether as enemies or allies, the existence of the Mangekyou Sharingan is not exactly top-secret information.

"You know the normal process of awakening the Sharingan, right?"

Chiho asked.

Bai Yu nodded: "Yes, I've heard that Uchiha ninjas are more likely to awaken their Sharingan when they experience significant trauma, so many Uchiha elites..."

Bai Yu paused halfway through his sentence, realizing that it wouldn't be appropriate to say that the Uchiha clan was mentally unstable in front of Chiho.

Although these are just rumors, the arrogance of the Uchiha clan is indeed as famous as their Sharingan.

"The rumors aren't entirely false to some extent," Chiho continued. "The Second Hokage once conducted experiments on members of the Uchiha clan. When the Uchiha were subjected to stimulation beyond their mental capacity, their brains secreted a special substance. This substance would cause the Uchiha clan's eye power to evolve, leading to the awakening of their Sharingan."

To awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, one must undergo even greater stimulation, such as... killing the person one loves most, pushing emotions of grief and pain to their limit.

"This..." Bai Yu's eyes changed slightly, and he subconsciously took half a step back.

Good guy!

No wonder people say the Uchiha clan are all crazy.

In the original work, Itachi Uchiha massacred his entire clan, apparently for no other reason than that he was a madman seeking to awaken his Sharingan.

terrible!

Thinking of the blue giant summoned by Madara, Bai Yu pressed further, "What kind of abilities does the Mangekyou Sharingan possess?"

"I don't know." Chiho shook her head.

"do not know?"

“Starting from the late Warring States period, when detailed records are available, there haven’t been many Uchiha who have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. The strength of the Mangekyou Sharingan’s abilities varies from person to person, and different eye techniques will emerge depending on the circumstances faced by the awakener. Even if one’s own parents and siblings awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, their abilities will not be the same. Legend has it that by pushing the Mangekyou Sharingan’s power to its limit and completely mastering Yin Release, one can use the power of divine projection—!”

"Divine power?"

"Susanoo!"

"Susanoo?" Bai Yu frowned slightly. It seemed that the blue giant was 'Susanoo'.

Chiho's explanation gave Bai Yu some ideas. It sounded like the Uchiha clan was quite similar to bloodline sorcerers, both relying on bloodline inheritance to create bloodline limits.

Susanoo can be seen as a kind of 'innate magic'.

Bloodline sorcerers can directly pass on their power to their offspring through their bloodline, especially to their direct descendants who are closely related by blood.

If Bai Yu had a child now, the child would at most inherit some of Kushina's talents, but his wizarding talents might not be fully inherited.

However, once he becomes a Level One "Spirit Summoner", according to the records of Bloodline Summoners, his child may be born as a First-Class Apprentice.
