Chương 76: Byakugan
"Please sign here," Homura Uchiha gestured to Kirito as he stepped aside.
Summoning scrolls used to form contracts with ninja beasts weren't limited to just one per lifetime.
As long as a ninja obtained other psychic scrolls or directly encountered powerful psychic beasts willing to sign contracts, they could form multiple contracts.
Kirito wasn't about to pass up the opportunity presented by the Ninja Cat Clan's vast intelligence network. He quickly stepped forward, bit his finger, and signed his name on the blank space provided.
As his five fingers completed the final stroke, a wonderful connection formed within him, accompanied by the faint sound of a cat's meow.
"Now, let's perform a psychic test. But be mindful not to expend too much chakra. There are formidable combat ninjas within the ninja cat family. While my space here is limited, it can't withstand the ruckus caused by those larger ninja cats," Homura Uchiha reminded Kirito before proceeding to summon the ninja cat family at a deliberate pace.
Kirito observed closely, memorizing the sequence of the seal formation. He then wiped the blood from his palm and began to replicate the seal.
"The Art of summoning !" Kirito exclaimed as he completed the seal, causing a black psychic spell to spread out on the ground with a resounding "Boom~." A cloud of white smoke appeared, revealing a blue cat standing upright like a human in front of Kirito.
"Hey, he's not an Uchiha. Boy, lucky you, to be able to summon me, Mr. Tom the cat. Do you have dried fish and cat drinks ready? Meow," the blue cat demanded upon seeing Kirito, a non-Uchiha, who summoned him.
"Tom Cat?" Kirito raised an eyebrow at the cat's name.
"It's just Tom, not Tom Cat. And remember, if you don't have cat drink, then bring the dried fish, or I won't cooperate," Tom insisted impatiently, shooting a glance at Homura Uchiha for assurance.
When Homura Uchiha met Tom's gaze, he smiled, acknowledging Tom's presence.
Tom was new to Homura Uchiha, but he had heard rumors about Tom's combat prowess within the ninja cat family. He was known as a ninjutsu cat, possessing rare fighting talents among ninja cats.
"Hello, Tom. I'm Tohsaka Kirito. Please guide me in the future. By the way, what knowledge do you possess? If you're unaware of anything, perhaps there's a way I can benefit you. And if you're truly powerful, I can offer you the best brands of dried fish and Mutanlia drinks on the market," Kirito bargained with Tom, understanding how to interact with the cat.
As he finished speaking, a blue phantom flickered before his eyes, and he witnessed Tom holding a familiar wallet proudly.
"Looks, this uncle is quite powerful," Tom remarked as he glanced inside the wallet. However, he found only small denomination coins, prompting him to return the wallet to Kirito with some disdain.
Kirito, seeing Tom's reaction, flushed with embarrassment. He usually didn't carry much money, relying on credit from Konoha's store owners. However, Tom's speed and strength showcased a level of ninja prowess that surprised Kirito.
"Ahem~ you are quite capable. But refrain from stealing in the future, or you might get into trouble," Kirito advised Tom, offering him a gold coin imprinted with a cat's paw as a gesture of goodwill.
Tom was initially amused by Kirito's lack of wealth but was taken aback when Kirito returned the gold coin. He realized Kirito might not be an ordinary human kid. He didn't feel him take the coin from him.
"Human named Kirito, what do you require of me? I won't accept gifts today, but remember to offer them next time," Tom requested eagerly, wanting to know Kirito's purpose.
"I'm sorry, Tom. This is my first psychic summoning after signing the contract. I don't have any tasks for you at the moment. But rest assured, I'll have work for you in the future, complete with dried fish and kitty drinks," Kirito replied apologetically.
"Alright, remember to call on me next time," Tom responded, slightly disappointed.
With that, Kirito dispelled the psychic spell, causing Tom to vanish in a cloud of white smoke.
Turning to Homura Uchiha with anticipation, Kirito awaited his next reward from the Uchiha clan with an excited look on his face.
He doesn't believe that's all he will get.
homura just took out a sealing scroll seeing his face.
"Untie it!" Homura Uchiha made a seal and placed his hand on it.
The next moment, a cloud of white smoke appeared, revealing three pairs of eyes soaked in a green solution in front of Kirito.
Among them, one pair was a fully mature Sharingan, another pair was a Byakugan, and the last pair was red like Sharingan, but with a line as the pupil, which Kirito recognized as the Chinoike clan's Blood Dragon Eye.
"Choose. "
"Master Uchiha, what's the meaning of this? While these three pairs of eyes are valuable, especially the Byakugan, as a Konoha ninja, I only need the last pair, the Blood Dragon Eye. I don't require the other two pairs," Kirito said, looking at the three pairs of precious eyes with a sigh.
"Hmph, young man, just say whether you want them or not. If you don't, I'll take them back now," Homura Uchiha replied coldly to Kirito's hesitancy.
"You want to Give me all three pairs?"
Kirito stopped pretending and smiled.
Among the three pairs of eyes, the Byakugan was particularly precious. Obtaining this blood inheritance limit from the Hyuga Clan, especially due to the Caged Bird Seal, was extremely difficult for outsiders.
On the other hand, the Blood Dragon Eye must have been taken from the Chinoike clan's blood follower limit ninja. The Uchiha clan's background was indeed impressive.
"Boy, don't be too greedy. Be careful not to get overwhelmed," Uchiha Homura earnestly reminded.
"Okay, then I'll take the Byakugan."
Kirito made a decisive choice.
Though the Sharingan and Blood Dragon Eye were desirable, they didn't compare to the rarity and potential of Byakugan. Particularly, the Byakugan obtained from the Hyuga Clan were priceless treasures.
Homura Uchiha frowned slightly but then handed over the container with the Byakugan.
Quickly, Kirito stored the precious Byakugan in a blank sealing scroll using the the sealing absorption technique.
"With these Byakugan, my zetsu's clone's detection ability will significantly improve, overcoming the flaw of soul perception and inability to see the enemy's face. I can better differentiate and utilize chakra with these Byakugan," Kirito thought happily as he closed his eyes.
Homura Uchiha observed Kirito's interest in the Byakugan and curled his lips. He had hoped Kirito would choose Sharingan, which would have made him half an Uchiha clan member.
"Isn't that Blood Dragon Eye peculiar? What's its blood inheritance limit?" Kirito feigned ignorance, noticing that Homura Uchiha hadn't re-sealed the Blood Dragon Eye.
"It's the Blood Dragon Eye from the Chinoike clan. While its illusion ability isn't as strong as Sharingan's, it has unique abilities like invading an opponent's body with chakra, turning them into a flesh bomb, and controlling blood in combat," Homura Uchiha explained.
Kirito understood the Blood Dragon Eye's battlefield value instantly, given its potential to manipulate blood on the battlefield.
"That's right, the Chinoike clan was renowned during the Warring States period. The Blood Dragon Eye is indeed suited for battlefield combat, strengthening with each engagement as long as the ninja's chakra holds," Uchiha Homura confirmed.
While speaking, Homura Uchiha's eyes subconsciously swept towards the Yin Seal between Kirito's eyebrows.
"So that's it, it's truly a powerful blood inheritance limit," Kirito admired, then looked at Homura Uchiha eagerly.
"Hmph, take them. There's no use leaving those eyes here gathering dust. As a medical ninja, you should understand their value," Homura Uchiha said coldly, referring to the Blood Dragon Eye.
He didn't retract the Blood Dragon Eye and intended to give it to Kirito. Despite Kirito's reluctance to ask for it, Homura Uchiha was somewhat disappointed that Kirito didn't beg for it.
"Thank you, Chief Homura, for this gift. I'll make sure to use these eyes to save more Konoha compatriots. When the time comes, I'll tell those saved that these eyes were a gift from the Uchiha clan," Kirito said gratefully.
Homura Uchiha was pleased with Kirito's response. He had given Kirito the Blood Dragon Eye because of his attention to its potential for saving lives, especially on the battlefield where Kirito, as a medical ninja, could make a significant impact.
Kirito quickly stored the Blood Dragon Eye and thanked Uchiha Homura again.
Homura Uchiha had paid Kirito handsomely this time with the psychic scrolls, Byakugan, and Blood Dragon Eye. Kirito felt that he had gained a lot and would greatly enhance his strength once he utilized these items.
"Kirito, what are your thoughts on how the Uchiha clan should integrate into the village going forward? The Nine-Tails Inheritance ceremony is over, and many Uchiha ninjas are returning from the front lines. Without new actions, it'll be challenging to maintain this positive momentum," Uchiha Homura asked suddenly, seeking Kirito's opinion.
Kirito was surprised by the question, not expecting such an important matter to be brought up to him, an outsider. He was also amazed at how highly Homura Uchiha regarded him.
Seeing Kirito's expression, Homura Uchiha blushed and reassured him, "Just share your opinion. I value your thoughts."
The Nine-Tails Inheritance had improved the Uchiha Clan's reputation in Konoha. However, after its conclusion, the Uchiha ninjas were summoned back from the front lines, potentially losing the opportunity to continue contributing actively to Konoha.
Clearly, the Third Hokage still harbored concerns about the Uchiha Clan, likely due to their formidable power.
In fact, the Uchiha clan sent a large number of ninjas to the front line this time to support them. Although many people were lost, they were mostly members of the Chunin rank, and none of the Jonin died.
Therefore, the overall strength of the Uchiha clan actually rose instead of fell.
The ninjas of the Uchiha clan are natural warriors. They have experienced battles and their growth rate is very rapid.
This time, there are twelve more newly born fully mature Sharingan ninjas, and this does not include chizuru who recently evolved Sharingan to full maturity, even touching the mangekyou for a moment.
It is not surprising that in a few years, the Uchiha clan will have twelve more Jonin.
As long as the ninjas of the Uchiha clan can successfully evolve the Sharingan to 3 tomoe, it is almost certain that they will improve their strength, and there is no bottleneck untill jonin level.
The mature Sharingan greatly enhances the ninja's illusion ability of the Uchiha clan, allowing them to easily trap opponents of the same level into illusion, and their Chakra levels have also grown rapidly, steadily reaching the level of elite.
In short, the strength of the Uchiha clan will soon see a major improvement, which makes Uchiha Homura feel mixed.
The joy is naturally that the self-protection ability of the Uchiha clan has improved, and the worry is that the Uchiha clan has made the Hokage family even more fearful.
Now that the situation of the Uchiha clan has just improved, seeing that the momentum of improvement is about to stop, he, as the patriarch, feels anxious but has been unable to think of any good way to continue maintaining this positive momentum.
As a last resort, he had no choice but to seek the opinion of Kirito, a smart kid.
Just as the saying goes, sometimes an outsider can provide excellent suggestions when looking at the current problems of the Uchiha clan.
The Uchiha clan benefited from Kirito's actions before successfully participating in the Kyuubi inheritance operation. This time, they may also find a good solution to the current problem from Kirito.
Maybe it's because of chizuru and kirito relationship, or Kirito's effective attack on Danzo.
Homura Uchiha is very confident in Kirito now.
Kirito had just accepted the benefit of the blood dragon eye from Uchiha Homura just now, so he naturally couldn't turn his face and deny people all at once and leave.
He's not the type to take advantage of things and do nothing.
Since Homura Uchiha, the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, understands him so clearly, considering the benefits given by chizuru and the other party, he thought about it seriously, then asked with a serious expression: "Patriarch Homura, before I answer your question, please answer mine first, what are the emotions of the Uchiha ninjas who returned from the front lines this time?"
"The emotional state of the people?"
When Uchiha Homura heard Kirito's question that seemed completely irrelevant to his query, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.
"Yes, this is very important. Among the Uchiha ninjas who came back from the front line, which ones are emotionally unstable, and which ones have expressed dissatisfaction with Konoha, please think carefully before answering me. This determines what I should do next. How to answer your question."
Kirito said with a serious expression.
Integrating the Uchiha clan into Konoha is a complex and long-term project, where the attitude of the Uchiha clan members plays a crucial role. If a significant portion of the Uchiha clan is unwilling to integrate, it will pose serious challenges.
Those sent to the battlefield by Uchiha Homura hold significant influence in the clan and are key to understanding the clan's stance.
Thus, discerning their emotions becomes paramount.
Identifying individuals with severe mental issues and discontent towards Konoha is the first step. If both criteria intersect, these individuals are generally beyond redemption and may hinder the clan's integration.
Removing such elements is necessary for the Uchiha clan's harmony and successful integration.
Uchiha Homura was not oblivious; he quickly grasped the underlying implications of Kirito's question, causing his expression to darken as he fell silent.
"Clan Leader, the damage caused by dissenters within the clan is severe. Addressing this issue preemptively is essential for the Uchiha clan's well-being and future. To secure a brighter future, we must exhibit the courage and resolve needed for change."
Observing Uchiha Homura's comprehension, Kirito spoke earnestly.
While Homura might find it challenging to make difficult decisions due to sentimental attachments, Kirito, unaffected by personal sentiments, recognized the necessity of such actions.
However, Homura's response hinted at his hesitance, prompting Kirito to pivot to another strategy.
"That's alright; I'll reconsider and come up with later with an alternative approaches."
Respecting Homura's stance, Kirito decided to explore different avenues.
After all, anticipating Homura's willingness to make bold decisions similar to Kirito's is unrealistic.
"Is there no other way for the Uchiha clan to smoothly integrate into Konoha?" Uchiha Homura's inquiry, coupled with his introspective expression, revealed his internal struggle and the weight of his responsibilities.
