Naruto: I wrote in my diary that I exposed the Otsutsuki's arrival.

Chapter 382 What to do if you go blind from using the kaleidoscope too much?

"That will be the time to deal with Danzo."

When Kitahara Kaede mentioned Danzo, his eyes narrowed, and a startling killing intent erupted from them.

Danzo wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, and similarly, he also wanted to get rid of Danzo as soon as possible. During this Chunin Exam, when Orochimaru launched his attack, the entire Hidden Leaf Village would be too busy to take care of itself. That would be the best time to get rid of Danzo.

Danzo, that old schemer, plotted against him time and time again, and only now has Kitahara Kaede finally felt truly safe.

Super Shadow level: the threshold for true power in this world.

Once you cross this line, it becomes very difficult to overwhelm someone with sheer numbers.

The only problem that needs to be solved is the huge weakness of the Mangekyou Sharingan: it can easily cause blindness.

Currently, Kitahara Kaede basically has two paths in front of him: either fuse with another pair of Mangekyou Sharingan to become the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, or implant Hashirama cells and use the powerful regenerative ability of Hashirama cells to restore his damaged eye power.

Or he could never use the Mangekyou Sharingan again, in which case his eye power would not be depleted.

However, it would be a huge waste not to use such powerful combat capabilities.

The idea of ​​fusing with another pair of Mangekyou Sharingan is clearly impossible. Others may not know, but he himself knows very well that what kind of damned unofficial Uchiha is he? He has simply received some mysterious modifications from the system.

The Kitahara family has no Uchiha bloodline at all. Even if they did, as the village elders speculated, the Kitahara family's ancestors had Uchiha blood for countless generations. With such a thin bloodline, awakening even one Sharingan would be incredibly lucky, let alone awakening a double-flowered Sharingan. It's simply a pipe dream.

Therefore, the only way left for Kitahara Kaede is through Hashirama cells. With Hashirama cells, he can use the Mangekyou Sharingan normally, just like Obito Uchiha.

Or perhaps the combination of a celestial eye and a celestial body is the normal configuration. Having only a celestial eye but having a body that has degenerated into that of an ordinary person would create a huge burden.

"No, there's another way. Maybe we can extract a method from the system to advance to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan," Kitahara Kaede said after thinking for a moment.

Just like this time, the Mangekyou Sharingan was completely beyond his expectations. He had been stuck at the three-tomoe Sharingan for a while. Although his eye power was much stronger than that of a normal three-tomoe Sharingan, it was still not the Mangekyou Sharingan.

He wasn't in a hurry about this. After all, it's common knowledge that to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, painless awakening wasn't popular in this era. It required the death of a loved one or close friend. He didn't expect that thanks to the system, he could actually achieve painless awakening. He had already made a huge profit and had nothing to complain about.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now."

Kitahara Kaede put aside his many thoughts and directly used Flying Thunder God Technique to return to Konoha.

A few days later, Kitahara Kaede's new home was finally completed. The new Kitahara home was no longer the cramped Japanese-style detached house, but a courtyard with a touch of Chinese style from her previous life, which was more in line with Kitahara Kaede's aesthetic.

Because he had such a useful puppet as Kado, who was constantly making money for him, he could spend lavishly on the construction of his new home without feeling any remorse.

However, the new Kitahara house was not far from the original neighborhood, because the mother, Kitahara Yoshiko, felt that she had lived here for most of her life, and that the Kitahara family had lived in this area for generations. She would not be used to new neighbors if she moved to another place.

So in the end, they chose to buy a piece of land next door and build a new Kitahara house. This way, they could satisfy Kitahara Kaede's need for a new house and also satisfy his mother's need to live in a comfortable and familiar environment.

As a newly promoted Jonin of Konoha, he moved to a new home. Although he has not yet held a housewarming party, all the families he has some dealings with have sent him gifts.

The newly built warehouse was already half-filled after just one use. To address this, Kitahara Yoshiko meticulously recorded the names of all the families who gave gifts and the gifts themselves as an account book for social obligations, which Kitahara Kaede would have to repay in the future.

Kitahara Kaede ignored all of this and simply handed over ten million taels to his mother, telling her to handle it as she saw fit.

This startled Kitahara Yoshiko. Although she knew that their family's living conditions had improved a lot since becoming a Chunin, and Kitahara Kaede brought home far more household expenses each month than normal, this was the first time she had ever seen someone take out so much at once.

Is being a Jonin really that lucrative?

This completely turned her worldview upside down. It's just a pity that the highest-ranking person in the Kitahara family was Kitahara Kaede's father, who died young and was just an ordinary Chunin. So she didn't know that becoming a Jonin could make her so rich.

However, she didn't know that ordinary Jonin were at most equivalent to the income level of the elite middle class. Apart from daily expenses and the purchase of training-related supplies, their lives were not very comfortable. Of course, it was impossible for them to bring back so much money all at once. Kitahara Kaede's money was not easy to come by.

The total wealth of an average ninja clan is less than what Kitahara Kaede obtained through Gato in that year.

"I never imagined that the Kitahara family would be in this situation today."

In the courtyard living room, Kitahara Yoshiko sighed and said that she no longer cared about Kitahara Kaede's ninja missions at all, because she knew very well that she couldn't help him at such a high level. The only thing she could do was to avoid holding Kitahara Kaede back.

Nowadays, the social circles of her children are at a level that she, a mere woman, could not even imagine. This can be seen from the identities of the people who sent housewarming gifts. Not only were there her former teammates, Hyuga Keiko and Ayato Genryu, but also their original team leader, Akai Akimoto.

There's also Kakashi Hatake, a top-tier powerhouse whose name is legendary among the people of Konoha.

Gifts from the head of the Hyuga clan, gifts from the last descendant of the Uchiha clan, gifts from the famous Ino-Shika-Cho clan, and so on.

These were all important figures and powerful ninja clans that her husband had mentioned before his death, figures that were unattainable to him.

Kitahara Kaede has clearly reached a height that no one in the entire Kitahara family has ever achieved before.

Of course, in addition to these, there were also many gifts from neighbors. They were not very expensive, but for Kitahara Yoshiko, they were small gifts but deep feelings, and these were the kinds of gifts she was used to and could afford.

"Our lives will only get better from now on. Who knows, maybe one day you'll even see the Hokage come to visit you."

Kitahara Kaede smiled and said.

"You brat, you dare joke about the Hokage?"

Kitahara Yoshiko could, of course, hear the flippant tone in Kitahara Kaede's voice, which showed that he didn't take the Hokage seriously, and she quickly reprimanded him.

Although she knew her son was different now, no matter what, the Hokage was still a big shot whom their family could only dream of. He had offended the Hokage in Konoha and thought he could just run away?

"Mother, are the servants still behaving themselves?"

Kitahara Kaede asked.

The Kitahara residence was already a proper mansion, so it was naturally not something one person could manage. Therefore, Kitahara Kaede hired four servants—two men and two women—through his connections with the Hyuga clan to help manage the residence, allowing his mother to enjoy a peaceful retirement.

Of course, Kitahara Kaede had secretly interrogated him using Sharingan genjutsu to ensure there were no spies mixed in, otherwise he wouldn't be at ease.

"Of course, she's truly a maid recommended by the Hyuga clan," Kitahara Yoshiko remarked with admiration.

His tone was full of longing for the Hyuga clan, the current most powerful clan in Konoha.

"Good that you listened." Kitahara Kaede nodded in satisfaction.

"I'm planning to go to the cemetery to tell your dad all this, so he can be happy too. You'll come with me today."

Kitahara Yoshiko spoke decisively, giving Kitahara Kaede no chance to refuse.

Kitahara Kaede nodded. Anyway, he didn't have much to do recently. The real third main draw match was waiting for him to host, so he wouldn't be assigned any tasks during this period.

It's simply about helping Hyuga Keiko and Ayumu Genryu devise a training plan so they can rapidly increase their cultivation levels within a month.

In the original timeline, both protagonists have seen a significant improvement in their strength over the past month, but that was based on their previously relatively weak abilities. It's hard to say how much they can improve now.

As far as he knew, similar to the original history, Kakashi Hatake took Sasuke Uchiha away for a month of special training.

Kakashi Hatake was originally going to teach Sasuke Uchiha how to use Chidori, but Sasuke has already mastered it. It's unclear what Kakashi will be able to teach this time.

This time, Kakashi Hatake is already a Kage-level shinobi, so he should be even more at ease.

Meanwhile, Naruto Uzumaki was taken away by Jiraiya, who had just returned to the village, for special training.

Sakura told him all of this when she visited him before and brought him housewarming gifts.

The Konoha Cemetery is the final resting place for countless ninjas who died fighting for Konoha since the village's founding. Kitahara Kaede's father, Kitahara Yukio, was among them. Although he was only a lowly Chunin, he died in battle while carrying out a mission for Konoha.

Fortunately, his teammates brought the body back; otherwise, he would have had to live in a makeshift home like many other missing ninjas.

Kitahara Kaede placed the flowers in front of the tombstone, listening to her mother's ramblings about her father. She sobbed and complained about her father leaving them, an orphan and a widow, too early, while also reporting to her father on the achievements their son had made.

Kitahara Kaede watched the setting sun in the distance, and saw many villagers hurrying to pay their respects at the cemetery.

Suddenly, he frowned, and one hand instinctively pressed down on the hilt of the Kusanagi sword he always carried.

Unlike Uchiha Sasuke, who was too young and not tall enough, resulting in a disproportionate appearance, the slender grass sword fit Kitahara Kaede, who had grown considerably taller and was now over 1.8 meters tall, perfectly.

There's a fluctuation from space-time ninjutsu!
