Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Awakening
Extra Chapter~
Because of him?
Jiraiya remained stunned for a while without coming back to his senses.
As he helped Naruto, who had collapsed to the ground, and looked back to where Ryujiro had been, Ryujiro's figure had already disappeared.
'What kind of change will you bring to Konoha, Ryujiro?'
Jiraiya had always been uneasy about Ryujiro, especially now that Tsunade had unexpectedly accompanied him this time.
However, Jiraiya had learned about Ryujiro's Genjutsu abilities, the ability to completely manipulate all five senses, something unheard of throughout the ninja world.
...
Meanwhile, Ryujiro returned to the training ground with Hinata, watching her sitting on a rock with a smile on her face as she waited for him.
"Hinata."
Hinata's body trembled as she jumped off the rock and smiled, "Ryujiro-kun, is everything resolved?"
"Yeah, it's settled."
Suddenly, Ryujiro noticed that Hinata's Byakugan seemed different from before, with a slight but distinct bluish hue.
The Tenseigan...
Was it slowly awakening?
This was undoubtedly a good thing for Hinata. With mastery over the Tenseigan, her strength could definitely surpass that of a high-level Kage.
I really have to thank Hamura for this.
"Hinata, have you felt any discomfort in your eyes recently?"
Ryujiro asked.
Hinata nodded, "Yes, my eyes have been feeling itchy lately, and they seem to have changed."
She herself had noticed changes in her Byakugan since seeing Hamura Otsutsuki in that dream, not just in her chakra but even in her eyes.
"Ryujiro-kun, do you know what's going on?"
Hinata asked Ryujiro, as she believed he knew everything.
"Evolution."
"Hinata, your Byakugan is evolving towards its final form."
"Final form?"
Hinata looked at Ryujiro in astonishment.
"Ryujiro-kun? Can the Byakugan still evolve?"
Hinata asked in disbelief.
Ryujiro nodded.
"The Byakugan's final form is the Tenseigan."
"The Tenseigan possesses powers comparable to the Rinnegan of the Sage of Six Paths."
The Rinnegan?
Hinata's breathing quickened involuntarily. The Rinnegan was the legendary eye that controlled life and death.
Could her eyes evolve to such an extent?
Could the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan evolve further?
Why had she never heard of this before?
And looking at Ryujiro like this, why did it seem like he understood the Byakugan better than even her own Hyuga clan?
"Hinata, I know you have many questions."
"But as long as you understand that this power belongs to you, you will be able to protect the ones you care about."
Ryujiro gently stroked Hinata's hair and said tenderly.
Yes.
She wanted power.
She wanted to keep up with Ryujiro's pace. As long as she could keep up with him, nothing else mattered. She wanted to fight alongside Ryujiro.
"Ryujiro-kun, let's continue."
A hint of determination flashed in the girl's eyes, as if she eagerly desired to become stronger.
...
"Ryujiro defeated Naruto when he was transformed into a Tailed Beast?"
Tsunade looked at Jiraiya incredulously.
Jiraiya nodded faintly, but then a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"I underestimated the power of the Nine-Tails. Even Naruto with just four tails was already beyond my capabilities."
"The gap between the Nine-Tails and the other Tailed Beasts is not small. As the strongest Tailed Beast, the Nine-Tails is indeed worthy of its reputation."
Jiraiya recalled the battle not long ago and still felt uneasy. It was a battle he could no longer intervene in.
"Jiraiya, you were too reckless this time."
"By releasing part of Naruto's seal without authorization you put the village in huge danger.
If Ryujiro hadn't intervened another incident like the Nine-Tails rampage could have occurred and the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Tsunade said seriously.
Jiraiya's face showed a trace of guilt. He had indeed underestimated the power of the Nine-Tails this time.
However, Ryujiro later assured him that he could now guide Naruto to control the Nine-Tails' chakra and Tsunade was thinking about this.
To control that chakra meant that they would have to release part of the seal again. Otherwise, Naruto wouldn't be able to control the Nine-Tails' chakra on his own.
Should she trust Ryujiro's words?
Tsunade fell into thought.
But thinking about what the kid had said, it seemed to be reassuring.
"Let's do as Ryujiro said."
"If Naruto can control the power of the Nine-Tails, it would be a good thing for Konoha."
Tsunade said slowly.
Before leaving the Hokage's office, Jiraiya hesitated for a moment, but eventually spoke up.
"Tsunade, where do you think that kid will lead Konoha?"
Lead Konoha down which path?
Towards destruction or back to its peak? Tsunade herself wasn't sure.
But at least she believed in Ryujiro.
"I believe in him."
"I see."
Jiraiya left the Hokage's office and sighed deeply.
Ryujiro, since Tsunade chose to believe in you, I have no reason to remain suspicious of you.
Ryujiro was not the child of prophecy; that much had been confirmed repeatedly by the Great Toad Sage.
And even the Great Toad Sage couldn't see Ryujiro's future clearly. No one knew where Ryujiro's future would lead.
-------------------------------------
In the cold, damp cave,Fu laid on the ground like a soulless shell.
The Seven-Tail has been captured successfully!
"Now we're just missing the One-Tails, the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails."
"Only three more Tailed Beasts until the resurrection of the Demonic Statue."
"It's really not easy. Where did the Jinchuriki of the One-Tail run off to?"
"Capturing the Nine-Tails and Eight-Tails of Konoha and Cloud village isn't as easy as it seems."
At that moment, another figure appeared in the cave, White Zetsu.
"We've received news about the Jinchuriki of the One-Tail."
"The Jinchuriki of the One-Tails is in Orochimaru's base."
Orochimaru's base?
"Wasn't Orochimaru killed by that swordsman from Konoha?"
"Is he still alive?"
Kisame seemed surprised.
"If it's someone like Orochimaru, it's not surprising if he's still alive."
Said Itachi indifferently.
In his eyes, Orochimaru was no longer a human and even if he were to resurrect again, it would not be surprising to Itachi.
"Itachi, your Konoha village has a lot of monsters." Kisame grinned.
"Kisame, Itachi."
"We leave the capture of the Jinchuriki of the One-Tail to you two."
Itachi nodded calmly.
Kisame had no objections.
After the meeting, an unusual light flashed in Nagato's eyes hidden within the trees.
Once the Jinchuriki of the One-Tails was successfully captured, the invasion of Konoha could begin.
To make the world understand pain! To feel pain! To know pain!
Only then could permanent peace be achieved!
With these eyes that control life and death, he would become the god of the shinobi world!
