[Ding! Selection successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: Dōjutsu: Takemikazuchi!]
As a warm current was injected into his body,
Kaze could clearly feel a terrifying power brewing in his left eye.
The three tomoe in his left eye spun faster and faster until they transformed into a black four - edged shuriken, which then slowly stopped.
The shuriken - shaped tomoe in his left eye was sharp, while the one in his right eye was blunt.
His similar yet different scarlet eyes made Kaze look extremely eerie.
"System, you gave the reward too late."
Kaze grinned, showing a smile uglier than a cry.
[It's because the host advanced too fast. As soon as this system released the reward, the host had already moved.]
Knowing that Kaze was in a bad mood, the system instantly replied.
"By the way, I heard you mention something about 'credits, graduation' before. Can you tell me about it?"
Kaze asked while changing his clothes.
"Hey, what's there to talk about?" the system replied.
"Our systems also need professional training to take up our positions. Is it so strange that we go to school?"
"What, host? You're asking me which school I went to?" the system asked exaggeratedly.
Kaze: "I didn't..."
System: "Shut up! I went to the God - level System Academy, which is equivalent to the top universities in your world."
Kaze: "..."
He was too lazy to talk to the system. After changing his clothes, he planned to meet up with Vivi Uchiha.
Flying Thunder God Technique!
In the next instant, Kaze was beside Vivi Uchiha.
The ground nearby was littered with the bodies of Mist Anbu.
"Kaze Shimura, you're a bit late."
Vivi glanced at Kaze and looked very cold.
Obviously, she was still angry about Kaze wrongly blaming her before.
"Uh..."
Admit your mistakes and accept the scolding gracefully.
Kaze bowed to Vivi and said sincerely,
"Sorry, I was blinded by anger before and said some inappropriate things. Please forgive me."
After a brief silence, Vivi pouted her delicate lips and glanced sideways at Kaze.
"Humph! Let's go. Follow me to the next place!"
After saying that, she strode off into the distance with her long legs.
「Yes... oops, I mean, yes!」
Kaze quickly followed Vivi.
She was his only teammate left, and he had to protect her well.
"How about Uncle Yuto and the others?" Kaze asked.
Vivi replied without looking aside, "Don't worry. I've taken care of everything properly."
"Phew, that's good, that's good." Kaze nodded in relief.
Konoha.
Due to the sudden invasion of Kiri, the entire Konoha was in chaos, busy dealing with the possible war.
All the Anbu and Root Ninjas were sent out, and the village's defense intensity dropped suddenly, giving some lawbreakers an opportunity.
Such as Rin Uchiha.
He easily infiltrated Konoha, found his target, and took it away.
"Is this the legendary Rinnegan..."
Rin looked at the purple eyeball in her hand, showing a complex expression.
Powerful abilities, if in the wrong hands, would only bring calamity to the world.
"However, the previous seal was really ingenious."
"If it weren't for this child breaking the seal in an emotional outburst, I would have thought I was looking for the wrong target."
Thinking of this, Rin glanced at Nagato, who was unconscious in bed, and let out a long sigh.
Although it was the legendary eye, Nagato was still young and couldn't exert much of its power.
Some dirty tricks were like child's play in front of Rin, who had been carefully taught by Madara.
"Sorry, kid," Rin murmured to herself.
"These eyes don't belong to you. For the greater good, I have to take them."
"Living an ordinary life as an average person can also be a kind of happiness," Rin said sentimentally.
Just now, Rin used Yin - Yang Release Jutsu to give Nagato a new pair of eyes.
Moreover, he cast complex Genjutsu on several people, making them completely forget what had happened tonight.
Rin did this, firstly, to ease her conscience.
Secondly, it could confuse those in Konoha who might know about the existence of the Rinnegan.
After being sealed, the Rinnegan was no different from ordinary eyes.
So, by directly replacing it with an ordinary eye, a move of hiding in plain sight, he might be able to deceive the others for a while.
"Alright, it's time to retreat!"
After handling everything properly, Rin's figure flickered and he left the house.
He avoided the guards and quickly shuttled through the streets, successfully leaving Konoha from the way he came.
"Phew, it seems this trip went smoothly."
It wasn't until Rin had left Konoha far behind and plunged into a dense forest that he finally let out a sigh of relief.
However, just then, a figure slowly emerged from the shadow in front and said eerily,
"Really? I don't think so."
"Konoha is not a place where just anyone can come and go as they please."
The middle - aged man who was speaking wore a long robe and his eyes were slightly closed, seemingly not taking Rin seriously at all.
"Tanzō?!"
When Rin saw who it was, his body trembled and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Every Uchiha member would gnash their teeth in hatred and feel genuine fear when mentioning Tanzō.
When Rin was a child, whenever he misbehaved, his parents would threaten him with Tanzō.
They would say things like, "If you don't behave, Tanzō will kidnap you and gouge out your eyes."
Now, meeting the real Tanzō on a dark night was just like encountering a ghost on a night walk.
It was impossible for Rin not to be scared.
Moreover, there might be hidden Konoha ninja in the forest at this time.
Just waiting for Tanzō's order, and he'd be swarmed by a bunch of thugs...
"Tanzō, if you leave now, I might spare your life!"
Rin boldly shouted, while quietly activating his Sharingan, trying to cast a Genjutsu on Tanzō.
However, Tanzō closed his eyes slightly and didn't even look at him directly, which made Rin quite frustrated.
Many of the Genjutsu techniques he mastered needed to affect the target through vision. Tanzō was really making things difficult for him.
Pure Physical Nagare - Resist Genjutsu!
Do you think this old man is just closing his eyes to show off? I'm guarding against the Uchiha clan
"Heh, what an arrogant young man."
After hearing Rin's words, Tanzō just calmly smiled.
Then, he asked with certainty.
"Those purple eyes just now are the legendary Rinnegan, right?"
"How could you...?!"
A chill ran down Rin's spine, making his hair stand on end!
"Could it be that you've known since then...?!" Rin exclaimed.
Tanzō just smiled and said nothing. Rin's panicked reaction gave him great pleasure.
As an old fox (correction: an old tactician), when Kiri launched a large - scale attack, Tanzō had considered the possibility of a feint attack.
Therefore, he had always been on high alert.
What Rin didn't know was that Tanzō had prepared these things in order to secretly monitor the Uzumaki bloodline.
The houses that Tanzō had Kaze choose back then were all carefully prepared safe houses.
It's normal to have some small arrangements in a safe house, and perhaps having dozens of these arrangements specifically designed to guard against the Uchiha is also normal, isn't it?
The moment Rin sneaked into the house, Tanzō sensed his presence and quickly rushed there with his men.
As a result, he happened to stumble upon this astonishing secret.
"You obviously discovered me then. Why didn't you...?"
Half - way through his sentence, Rin suddenly realized something and his face showed a look of shock.
The forest was eerily quiet. It seemed that apart from him and Tanzō, there was no one else.
Could it be...?
