Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

After becoming a genin, you can receive a ninja headband; after becoming a chunin, you can receive a green vest.

Lianye never expected to be promoted to Chunin at the age of eleven, and he was quite satisfied with the speed at which his strength improved.

The only problem is that his Sharingan hasn't leveled up yet and is still just a single tomoe.

If he can activate the three-tomoe technique, his strength will definitely increase significantly.

"How intense does a strong emotional stimulus have to be?"

Chapter 52 I was just kidding with you guys

"Lotus Night Lord, why are you so distracted?"

A few days later, in the caravan.

Koharu looked at Renya, who was sitting in the carriage in a daze, with a puzzled expression.

Their mission this time was to escort a caravan to the Land of Earth.

But throughout the journey, Lian Ye remained silent, clutching her weapon, seemingly lost in thought.

She didn't want to ask; everyone has their own worries, and there's no need to pry.

But Lian Ye is different; he is the core of the team, and this situation cannot be allowed to occur, otherwise danger may easily arise during the mission.

Danzo Shimura turned his head to look; this was the first time he had ever seen Renya in this state.

He was very curious about what had happened to make Lian Ye so absent-minded the whole way.

Lian Ye had been pondering the matter of opening her eyes, and only when she heard the question did she come back to her senses.

He turned to the two people who looked on with curiosity and explained, "I'm wondering how to quickly advance from a single tomoe to a double tomoe, or even a triple tomoe..."

"Renya-kun, is it very difficult for you Uchiha to awaken your Sharingan?" Koharu Utatane asked.

Upon hearing this, Danzo Shimura frowned subconsciously and looked at Koharu Utatane with displeasure.

In his view, Xiaochun's question was somewhat presumptuous, as she actually inquired about the way other families opened their eyes; such behavior was no different from that of a spy.

Fortunately, Lianye was their teammate. If it were any other Uchiha clan member, they might have arrested and interrogated this stupid woman.

After all, awakening the Sharingan is a secret of the Uchiha clan!

Lian Ye didn't think much of it. In his view, the way the Uchiha awakened their Sharingan wasn't a secret, and there was nothing he couldn't say.

"It is indeed quite difficult..."

Danzo Shimura was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Renya to answer such a sensitive question, and he quickly perked up his ears.

This is a great opportunity to learn about the Uchiha clan.

"The Sharingan needs to undergo intense emotional stimulation, and when there is enough chakra, it will evolve naturally."

It sounds simple, but it's a different story in practice.

Within the Uchiha clan, the vast majority of clan members who can awaken their Sharingan only reach the two-tomoe stage, with only a minority able to awaken the three-tomoe stage.

Because strong emotions are too abstract.

Some members of the tribe have such strong psychological resilience that ordinary emotions are unlikely to cause their eyes to evolve, unless they witness their beloved dying before their eyes, in which case there is a chance that their eyes will evolve.

Therefore, having an excessively strong mental fortitude is not a good thing for the Uchiha clan.

For Lianye, evolving her eyes would be even more difficult.

He is a time traveler who always feels alienated from this world, unable to quickly integrate into it or have strong emotional ties to it.

This is also what troubles him quite a bit.

Ordinary emotions are hard to provoke him, unless he witnesses the death of a companion or a close friend, it is difficult for his Sharingan to evolve.

Of course, strong emotions aren't limited to anger; there's also happiness, excitement, fear, and more...

Even in life-or-death crises, the eyes can evolve.

"So the Sharingan requires strong emotions to evolve?" Koharu Utatane suddenly realized.

Danzo Shimura was somewhat taken aback, and murmured, "Is emotion all that's needed?"

He thought the evolution of the Sharingan was very complicated, but he didn't expect that it only required strong emotions.

This made him somewhat jealous.

Damn, it's so easy for ninjas from big clans to become stronger...

These small families, lacking powerful bloodline limits, can only strive to become stronger through continuous cultivation.

After working myself to the bone to finally become stronger, I saw that the Uchiha clan members next door had awakened their Sharingan out of anger and their strength immediately surpassed mine. My world collapsed!

Renya was unaware of Danzo's thoughts; otherwise, she would have definitely refuted him.

Awakening the Sharingan in the Uchiha clan is not as simple as it seems.

Lian Ye stroked the Wugou in her hand, looking thoughtfully at the two of them, "Tell me, if you die in front of me, can I open my eyes?"

Upon hearing this, the two of them widened their eyes and showed expressions of disbelief.

Is Lian Ye out of his mind?!

"Ren...Ren-ye-kun, please don't do this." Koharu Utatane swallowed nervously.

"Haha, Renya, stop joking with us." Shimura Danzo chuckled dryly.

Lianye's idea is dangerous, and we must make her give up on it.

Otherwise, they might genuinely be afraid that Lian Ye, in order to broaden her horizons, would either feign help during the mission or stand by and watch them die...

At this moment, the two finally realized the meaning behind Tobirama-sensei's words.

The Uchiha clan is known for its extreme personalities and tendency to go to extremes.

Lian Ye looked at the two of them quietly, her voice icy: "I wasn't joking."

As he spoke, he placed his hand on the hilt of the knife, and with a metallic hum, the blade emerged from its sheath more than three inches from the hilt.

Upon seeing this, Danzo Shimura and Koharu Utatane widened their eyes in horror.

Holy crap, this is even scarier than betraying your teammates, they're just going to attack directly?!

"Lian Ye, calm down!"

Even if you kill us, you might not be able to open your eyes!

They didn't expect that Lian Ye really wanted to attack them.

Upon seeing Lian Ye's scarlet eyes and indifferent expression, cold sweat instantly broke out on both of their bodies.

If a real fight broke out, they really wouldn't be a match for Lian Ye.

Danzo and Koharu were filled with alarm bells: they were going to die, they were really going to die!

The intense fear made their legs go weak, and they even forgot how to run away.

Seeing their pale faces, Lian Ye smiled slightly and sheathed her sword. "Tsk, don't be so nervous, I was just joking with you."

Upon hearing this, the corners of their mouths twitched.

If they weren't outmatched by Lian Ye, they would have beaten this bastard to a pulp!

Damn it, this joke isn't funny at all.

They were almost scared to death.

"Renya-kun, you really are... you scared me to death." Koharu, embarrassed and annoyed, punched Renya in the chest.

"Haha, sorry." Lian Ye laughed and scratched her head.

Danzo Shimura stared at Renya with a complicated expression. He had a feeling that Renya hadn't been joking just now.

In that instant, Lian Ye seemed genuinely about to attack them.

After all, that intense killing intent couldn't be faked...

"Tobirama-sensei is right, the Uchiha clan are all lunatics!"

No wonder the teacher was always on guard against the Uchiha. In that situation just now, who would dare to let the Uchiha go unchecked?

At that moment, he deeply understood his teacher's good intentions.

Thinking of this, Danzo subconsciously distanced himself from Renya.

If Lian Ye shows any signs of this again, he'll have to run away.

Lianye's actions made him begin to fear the Uchiha clan.

Such unstable factors should be eliminated as soon as possible to prevent them from harming others!

"Danzo, don't be nervous, I was really just joking with you guys." Renya said helplessly, looking at Danzo's little actions.

He was so bored on the way that he thought of making a joke to lighten the mood, but he didn't expect to scare the two of them.

Danzo remained silent and distanced himself from Renya once more.

Seeing this, Lianye didn't know what to say.

As for whether he was joking just now, only he himself knows.

Chapter 53 Onoki's Malice (One more chapter to come later)

We encountered no danger along the way.

The three escorted the caravan safely to Iwagakure Village in the Land of Earth.

We live in a time of peace, with the ninja god Hashirama Senju present. There isn't even any small-scale friction between the five great nations.

No one from other countries would dare to provoke the ninjas of Konoha.

After registering at the gate, Lianye and the others followed the caravan into Iwagakure Village.

This was their first time visiting Iwagakure, and they looked around curiously.

In other words, we are currently in a period of peace, and the movement of ninjas between villages is not strictly regulated.

If this were during wartime, the three of them would have been surrounded by a group of Iwa ninja the moment they entered the village.

Currently, only two Iwa ninja are following them from a distance, monitoring their movements to prevent them from plotting anything.

Lianye's gaze fell on the buildings of Iwagakure Village, where towering rocks were carved into various buildings.

The tallest building in the very center is the Tuying Building.

A strong wind blew, and suddenly yellow sand filled the sky.

"Won't I inhale a lot of dust in this environment?" Lian Ye murmured to herself.

He had some doubts about whether the villagers of Iwagakure had lung problems.

It seems that in the future, when facing Iwa ninja, I can try attacking his lungs and see if it has any effect.

"Renya-kun, stop spacing out. We'll leave after we replenish our supplies," Koharu Utatane urged.

This is Iwagakure territory. As Konoha ninja, it wouldn't be good for them to stay here too long...

"Understood." Lian Ye quickly followed the two.

The three arrived at a commercial street in Iwagakure to purchase the supplies they needed.

Just then, Lian Ye suddenly noticed a malevolent gaze fixed on her.

He subconsciously turned around to look, and after recognizing the owner of that gaze, he was slightly taken aback.

"This guy is..."

In the distance stood a short young man with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a large, red nose.

At that moment, the short young man was staring at him with disgust.

His distinctive appearance allowed Lianye to immediately recognize the young man's identity.

Isn't this guy the future Third Tsuchikage, the "Longest-living Elder of the Shinobi World," Onoki?

Lianye was puzzled. They had only met for the first time, so why was Onoki so hostile towards her?

Onoki, with his short legs, came up to Renya, his face showing undisguised disgust.
