Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 133 Metamorphosis, Light: Is this all you can do? (Happy Lantern Festival!)

Within the Land of Whirlpools, in a strange cave, space suddenly distorted.

Before long, Yuzhi and Shisui appeared here.

As soon as he landed, Yuzhi staggered slightly, which made Shisui instinctively want to help him up.

However, Yuzhi quickly regained his footing and swiftly removed the mask from his face. At this moment, two bloody marks had appeared on his handsome face.

"The consumption is really quite high."

Yuzhi wiped the bloodstains from her face. Although she was still muttering something with a hint of complaint, she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Although the consumption was enormous, even his chakra reserves, which had undergone a "glorious evolution," were almost completely depleted.

Even his ever-recovering eye power, which had almost reached its limit, was nearly drained in one go.

But compared to what he gained, it was all worth it!

"Senior, are you alright?"

Shisui rubbed his eyes. Although his eyes were a little sore, his condition was much better than Yuri's.

"Of course I'm fine, I'm perfectly fine now."

Yuzhi smiled, then simply plopped down on the ground and said with a laugh.

"In fact, my situation is much better than you imagine!"

Hagoromo's condition was indeed very good, better than he could have imagined.

Although he hasn't fully activated "Exceptional" and "Glorious Evolution" yet, he can already feel that his kaleidoscope has truly reached its peak!

This extreme was like a wall, preventing him from taking even half a step forward.

Moreover, the haori has a very distinct sense of tearing, as if it lacks a part of the power to restore and replenish it.

"Could it be that my previous guess was correct?"

Yuri had long envisioned that, ever since Indra, the appearance of the so-called Eternal Eye was always accompanied by one topic: brothers.

And without exception, none of the brothers who developed these eyes met a good end, and their eyes also went through a process of compatibility.

"That's probably why I feel a sense of 'loss' right now."

This sense of 'loss' was particularly clear to Yuzhi at this moment, a feeling he had never experienced before.

This feeling didn't appear in the original work, but upon closer reflection, it's actually quite normal.

"After all, besides Obito, who else has pushed and honed their Mangekyou Sharingan to this level like I have?"

To be honest, the haori is quite difficult to tie, and the haori feels that she is no one else who has used the kaleidoscope to this extent.

Kaleidoscopes are inherently fragile; look at how Sasuke ruined a pair of brand-new Kaleidoscopes in just one month.

It's easy to imagine how fragile the Mangekyou Sharingan is. If someone played with it like that, a normal Sharingan would have gone completely blind long ago!

"Not counting my previous battles, my performance in Kirigakure alone probably far surpasses Sasuke's series of battles after he awakened his Sharingan."

Such a massive release of Amaterasu, such frequent and precise control of Amaterasu, and finally, Susanoo released to adapt to his own battle.

If Sasuke came, he'd probably shake his head and sigh at the sight of me.

"Moreover, I am not the reincarnation of Indra."

Yuri had also wondered about one thing: how did Madara Uchiha manage to withstand the clashes with Hashirama Senju before he obtained the Eternal Eye?

The battle between the Senju and Uchiha clans lasted a long time; Madara didn't even know how long he had fought Hashirama before he obtained Eternity.

Therefore, this made Yuzhi wonder if Indra's reincarnation could actually have his kaleidoscope slowly restored.

"As long as I don't drain him dry like Sasuke did, is that alright?"

However, without any real evidence, it's all speculation, and Yuzhi is only making these assumptions based on her own changes.

For example, the feeling that Yuzhi is experiencing right now is something that probably no one in the original work could truly achieve.

Even Obito was probably the same, because Obito's eyes were never complete.

"That's too risky, senior."

As Yuri pondered, Shisui shook his head again, looking at Yuri with utmost seriousness.

"Although it is for the future of the ninja world, the importance of the senior far surpasses everything else."

Whether for the sake of the village or the family, I hope that my elders will consider this more in the future.

Even if it's for Senior Ying!

"You little rascal."

Yuzhi was both amused and exasperated by Shisui's words. He might not have thought so much about his family and village.

But this guy brought out the light, which made it hard for even Yuzhi to refuse.

Speaking of which, ever since Hagoromo unearthed Hikari, she has rarely acted without Hikari by her side.

He himself was somewhat unaccustomed to this, even though he didn't actually need to do anything this time, but people always have inertia.

"Okay, I'll be careful. You don't need to teach me."

As he spoke, Yuzhi looked up at the moon in the sky, then took out a handkerchief and wiped the bloodstains off his face.

"Moreover, such an action would be beneficial to both of us, especially to our eyes."

Shisui, you don't want your vision to remain at this stage forever, unable to progress further, do you?

"That's natural."

Shisui chuckled; he always felt that Yuri's words were strange.

However, Shisui didn't dare to say anything more, but he sighed slightly in his heart.

He was no longer the child he once was, and he had learned quite a bit about the kaleidoscope. Of course, he knew that there was another pair of eyes above the kaleidoscope.

But how many people can have eyes like that?

Don't think it's impossible.

Yuzhi glanced at Shisui, who seemed somewhat confused, and shook his head, saying softly.

"Just because you haven't seen something doesn't mean it doesn't exist; every force has its traces."

As long as I put in the effort and prepare myself, perhaps one day I will be able to seize the opportunity to break through my limits.

After all, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

"Yes, senior, I lost my composure."

Shisui paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded seriously at Haori.

Yuzhi chuckled softly but did not answer. Instead, his gaze returned to the bright moon in the sky.

Unlike the Land of Water, which is shrouded in thick fog, the Land of Whirlpools is bathed in enchanting moonlight.

"Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. I have already prepared so much, and all I have to wait for is the moment when they will blossom in the future."

He has obtained the seed of the Eternal Eye, and he has also obtained something extremely crucial—he can adapt to the bloodline of the Bamboo Clan!

Through his investigation, he understood that, simply put, this ability allowed him to adapt to the power of the Bamboo Clan without any bloodline conflict.

Simply put, it's similar to the 'Kai's physical attributes' he acquired before, only now they've been elevated to a higher level!

"This also means that I can integrate the power of the bamboo cutter into my blood."

Even if I prepare the fusion of Hyuga and Taketori in advance, the success rate of this fusion will be much higher.

Thinking of this, Yuzhi's joy surged even more. He seemed to be able to see that he could really be like that person on the moon in the future!

"But before that..."

Taking a deep breath, Yuzhi's gaze sharpened.

"Activate 'Exceptional' to enhance my vision!"

With Yuzhi's command, a surge of power coursed through his body, a change that immediately caught Shisui's attention.

As these powers surged, Yuzhi's expression also became strange—

The cold moonlight shone on the entire Hidden Mist Village, which was now in ruins.

The ravaged ground is still ablaze, and countless houses have been completely destroyed by the impact.

To put it bluntly, at least half of the massive Fog Shadow was destroyed tonight!

If it weren't for the fact that Kirigakure has a mechanism for evacuating residents, and that the village doesn't have a particularly large population, it would be a different story.

No one dares to say how many people will die from this kind of destruction alone!

Such destruction is unimaginable, especially for a ninja village. If word gets out, the entire Hidden Mist Village will lose face.

"Finally gone? But what kind of monster was that...?"

Countless Mist Ninjas seemed to still be reeling from the previous battle; all they remembered was the raging flames burning on the Three-Tails.

All I remember is the Three-Tails' incessant howling as it eventually transformed back into the Fourth Mizukage, the chakra light that pierced the sky, and the two attackers who vanished without a trace.

Tonight's events felt like a nightmare. If it weren't for the raging flames still burning, the Fourth Mizukage falling into a coma, and nearly half the village being destroyed, they wouldn't have believed it was real!

"Damn it!"

Obito's face was deathly pale; he hadn't yet come to his senses.

What kept him from recovering was not the previous battle. Even though he claimed that Kirigakure was his territory, he didn't really care about the extent of the losses he had suffered.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have started a war with Yuri in the village instead of thinking about moving out.

A voice kept echoing in his mind: the word "Obito" left behind by Hagoromo before he disappeared!

"Who exactly is that guy? Where do they come from? What's going on?"

Obito was truly broken through by the haori, that seemingly effortless battle, that casual release of endless Amaterasu flames.

There was also the Susanoo that was unleashed with lightning speed, and the contemptuous attitude that was shown towards him throughout.

All of this deeply pierced his heart, how could he possibly hold back?

"Well, I can't be sure either. Maybe we can ask Orochimaru, who fought against them before."

Seeing Obito so vulnerable, Black Zetsu was also finding it difficult to maintain his composure.

Both he and Obito clearly sensed that the chakra that surged into the sky when those two left belonged to the power of the Dragon Vein.

This led him to immediately conclude that the two people were most likely from the future.

So, the person from the future harbored such great malice towards Obito, and even Obito himself treated his past self in the same way.

This made him wonder, what heinous crime had Obito committed that angered both heaven and man?

However, even if Obito did something that angered both heaven and man, it's not up to these people from the future, or from some unknown world, to point fingers, right?

Black Zetsu's heart skipped a beat when he saw Obito's current state.

He still needs to rely on Obito now. If he is attacked by this group of people in turn, it will really break Obito's confidence.

They might even start to give up on themselves, thinking, "Since you all look down on me anyway, I'll just go for it!" That would be truly terrible!

"What a bunch of bastards!"

Realizing this, Black Zetsu became even more tense, especially after seeing Obito exuding such a "dejected" aura. He couldn't help but curse inwardly.

After a quick thought, Black Zetsu finally spoke.

"However, I can say for sure that they have no ill intentions towards you."

"No malicious intent?"

Obito froze upon hearing this, then his voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"What nonsense are you spouting? You call this harmless?!"

"Um."

Even though Black Zetsu felt that those bastards were really full of malice towards Obito, he could only force himself to say it like that for now.

"Think about it carefully, Obito. If they really had malicious intent, why didn't they kill you?"

You haven't grown to the level they'll reach in the future; it's still very easy for them to do what they want.

Black Zetsu's nonsense caught Obito's attention, causing him to straighten up slightly.

This immediately put Black Zetsu to his senses. What he feared most was that Obito wouldn't even listen anymore, that would be a huge problem!

"So I think this is just a form of torture they're putting you in right now."

Black Zetsu was quickly thinking about how to persuade Obito, while his mouth was also busy.

"They may be very unhappy with your current state, whether it's your future self or those two guys from earlier."

You've seen their strength, and you've even faced them in the future. Can you share your thoughts on them?

It's all about ability; let's not talk about anything else.

".powerful."

Obito straightened his body, and after a long while he managed to utter a single word before continuing to speak in a low voice.

"It is incredibly powerful, so powerful that it is unbelievable, and even I am at a loss."

Black Zetsu glanced at Obito, and now he was completely certain that Obito had broken down, otherwise he would never have said such a thing.

Ever since he unlocked the Kaleidoscope, this guy has always acted like he's the chosen one.

Although Black Zetsu was also certain that this guy used his kaleidoscope well, almost no one could do anything about him.

Even if Madara were to be resurrected, it would still take some effort to deal with him, but now he no longer has the same energy and spirit as before.

"Yes, they are very strong because they have developed their abilities."

Although Black Zetsu was internally complaining, he still spoke quickly.

"But you are different. You still have unlimited potential. You haven't fully learned what Madara taught you yet."

Once you learn these things, you will definitely make a significant leap in your development, and then you will be fearless when facing them.

I think they're also disappointed in you, that you have such potential but haven't been properly developed.

That's why they use this method; it's like when you face your future self, after failing, don't you also retreat and cultivate yourself?

Obito was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded after a while.

He was just a little nervous. Why did he have to resort to such methods?

"Also, have you ever thought about why they treat you so rudely?"

Seeing that Obito seemed to have recovered somewhat, Black Zetsu intensified his efforts.

"Could it be that you awakened them in the future, causing them to become so irritable?"

"snort!"

Upon hearing this, Obito perked up, but at the same time, a violent rage seemed to be burning within him.

What did that future psychopath do to take out his anger on his present self?

Obito could not agree with this approach, and there was one thing he didn't say: that he would inevitably create a new world in the future.

Having created such a world, there's no way I can leave it, which can only mean two things.

"So either this guy didn't do it, or he failed!"

Thinking of this, Obito clenched his fist tightly. With such power, he didn't think it was impossible to do this.

Then there is only one answer: this guy betrayed his dream, or rather, he never thought of creating a real world of his own!

"So that lunatic isn't me at all, no matter what happened in between, it's definitely the current me."

Thinking of this, Obito's "dejected aura" began to disappear, replaced by an aura he had never felt before.

"Perhaps you have changed, but I will never change my dream. You and I are different!"

Do you want to transform me into you? Keep dreaming! I just want to achieve my own dream, nothing more!

Whether it was because Obito's obsession was too deep, or because Madara Uchiha had left such a profound imprint on his mind, Obito had truly come to his senses at this point.

However, he took another step closer to the abyss!

"I know what I need to do."

Obito's voice turned cold, and his Sharingan appeared exceptionally alluring in the distant firelight.

"I will absorb all the knowledge and make myself stronger, only in this way can I break free from my fate."

My dream has never changed: I want to create a world of my own, a world without haori!

"what?"

Black Zetsu was somewhat bewildered. He didn't know what Obito was thinking, but seeing that Obito had recovered, he immediately nodded.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's the kind of spirit we need!"

"I'll leave the rest to you; I have more important things to do."

Space began to distort around Obito. If he wanted to "improve," he would start now and didn't want to wait a moment longer!

"this"

Looking at the vanished Obito, Black Zetsu felt a mix of confusion and relief, before finally becoming helpless.

It's a good thing that Obito is working hard to improve himself, but now he's left with all the mess he created.

Thinking about the losses tonight, and how Obito actually controlled the Three-Tails and fought that "Uchiha Izuna" in Kirigakure.

Blackbeard couldn't help but sigh softly; he realized that there were far more troubles than he had imagined.

"Damn bastard!"

Inside Kirigakure, Mei Terumi looked at the blue-faced man lying on the ground with a grim expression, and her heart bled as she gazed at the dilapidated village.

She truly loved this village, and she genuinely couldn't understand why such a thing could happen in the village!

"Elder!"

"Elder, you've arrived?"

Just as Terumi Mei was feeling sad, she suddenly heard some noise behind her.

Turning around, I saw that Master Yuan had already arrived with his men.

"What a pity."

He walked to Mei Terumi's side and stared at Ao, who had already died. After a long while, he sighed with regret.

"This child had extraordinary talent, and yet he's gone just like that."

You were the one who sent him to his death, weren't you?

Kisame and Zabuza, who were standing to the side, felt somewhat uneasy after hearing these words, but they only dared to keep their heads down and remain silent.

They're not stupid; they know perfectly well that some things shouldn't be said carelessly.

Moreover, they also know that after this battle, although many statistics are not yet complete, many things will be changed.

The Bamboo Cutter rebelled and was slaughtered. The Mizukage waged a great battle in the village, causing enormous destruction and losses. In the end, the Mizukage was also defeated along with the Three-Tails.

The consequences of these events are unimaginable, but one thing is certain: the Fourth Mizukage is in serious trouble!

"That Uchiha Haori really does keep his word."

For some reason, the same thought popped into their minds at the same time.

Yuzhi said she was going to trick the Mizukage, and she really did trick the Mizukage to death!

"Alright, don't stay here any longer. You have more important things to do."

Master Yuan stood up, shook his head, and then spoke seriously.

"The village has suffered such destruction that we must take immediate rescue action, and the village also needs to be restored as soon as possible."

"Elder."

Mei Terumi took a deep breath, as if she had gone through a mental struggle, before finally asking in a soft but firm voice.

"Does the Mizukage truly care about the village?"

"Ming, keep this question to yourself, and never ask it to anyone else."

Master Yuan was taken aback by these words, and then he immediately replied sternly.

After saying this, he turned his head and looked around at everything.

Listening to the wailing and the crackling of the flames, he finally spoke softly after a long while.

"But justice resides in the hearts of the people. What we need to do is to do what we should do and do everything we can to change everything."

There are always people in Kirigakure who love it, and as long as these people exist, hope will always remain.

Such love is like a flowing river, which will eventually converge into rivers, lakes, and seas.

"Ming, do you know?"

"Yes, Elder!"

Mei Terumi nodded firmly. Indeed, there were some things they needed to do themselves and change for themselves!

Only by maintaining their faith and taking action can they have hope.

At that moment, Mei Terumi had already formed the idea of ​​becoming the Mizukage in her mind.

At the very least, we must help Master Yuan become the Mizukage!

However, their conversation naturally reached the ears of Kisame and Zabuza.

Looking at Yuan Shi's heartbroken yet serious expression, and then at Terumi Mei's resolute face.

Finally, they glanced at the ninjas around them who had overheard their conversation, noticing their thoughtful and intrigued expressions.

At this moment, they really couldn't hold back anymore, and they were starting to wonder if they were too young and naive.

"Is it over?"

Orochimaru stared intently at the pillar of light disappearing into the sky, and after a long while, he shook his head.

"Let's go, there's no point in staying here any longer."

"Um."

Scorpion nodded in agreement; he had truly had his eyes opened tonight.

As a former member of Sunagakure, he naturally knew how terrifying the Uchiha clan was, and that it was best for any squad to flee if they encountered an Uchiha.

However, it seems that even a small team cannot defeat those Uchiha who have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, which is only recorded in sealed books!

If someone like that were to enter a village, he would surely wreak havoc everywhere.

"Does that Uchiha Hagoromo possess the power of the person who did this tonight?"

Suddenly, Sasori looked at Orochimaru with curiosity, his heart filled with doubt.

"Yes, it may not reach that level, but it won't be bad either."

Orochimaru thought for a moment and then spoke, then seemed to understand Sasori's thoughts and shook his head.

"I think I understand what you mean. You're asking why, given their power, they haven't taken control of Konoha?"

"Yes."

Scorpion nodded; he made no attempt to hide anything.

"I've heard that the Uchiha clan and the higher-ups in Konoha seem to have a bad relationship, and the Uchiha are extremely arrogant, so it's not normal for them to be so harmonious."

"That's right, but your Sunagakure lacks intelligence, whether it's intelligence on the Uchiha or Uchiha Hagoromo."

Orochimaru licked his lips, shook his head, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan is very powerful, but it has limitations. The more it is used, the easier it is to be sealed. Legend has it that only Madara Uchiha broke the curse."

Uchiha Hagoromo probably hasn't reached that level yet, and Konoha actually has ways to deal with the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Moreover, Konoha is quite rational and has adopted a certain degree of appeasement. Hagoromo and the Fourth Hokage have a close relationship; perhaps he will become Hokage in the future.

"Is that so?"

Sasori frowned, then glanced at Orochimaru.

"What about this one today? Aren't you afraid his eyes will be sealed away?"

"Perhaps, he is also someone who broke the curse."

Orochimaru's gaze was slightly unfocused. He muttered to himself, "It was probably broken with my help!"

He hadn't forgotten what that guy had said, which seemed to foreshadow his future.

He was the one who awakened such a terrifying being in the future; he was the one who created such a horrible existence in the future!

"Impure World Reincarnation?"

Orochimaru murmured something, then shook his head.

"He's alive, I'm not mistaken about that. So what is he?"

Orochimaru didn't seem to have any technique in his memory that could completely revive a person, but he soon realized something.

"Scorpion has been pursuing cloning technology, and the cells he uses are not his own; he probably has other motives."

Thinking of this, his gaze became slightly unfocused, as if he had grasped something important.

However, he wouldn't ask now. Some things are better planned slowly than rushed. He believed he would get the answer eventually.

"After all, I've already guessed the general outline."

With this in mind, Orochimaru calmed himself down a bit, and he made a decision.

While thoroughly studying cell fusion and cloning technologies, we also need to thoroughly study the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Judging from the current situation, this technique is bound to shine brightly in the future.

"What is this?"

The moment Yuzhi activated "Exceptional", he immediately felt the power within his body being activated!

Both his own chakra and the Yin Release hidden in his eyes began to surge at this moment.

"Senior, you..."

Shisui noticed something was wrong with Yuori immediately, but Yuori just shook her head at him.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Yuzhi no longer wanted to speak; he felt a burning sensation in his pupils.

Under the infusion of those surging forces, his originally normal black eyes began to change.

His eyes turned crimson at that moment, and the three tomoe were slowly spinning uncontrollably.

With each rotation, it seems as if a special energy is being released, and with each rotation, the three magatama seem to begin to connect with each other.

A moment later, the three magatama suddenly merged into one, and that extreme cold aura surged out once again!

"These eyes."

Shisui stared in disbelief at Yuri's eyes, as he was astonished to find that Yuri's eyes had transformed into a kaleidoscope.

But strangely, these kaleidoscopes are completely different from the ones Yui owns!

"How is this possible?"

He and Yuri did use colored contact lenses to cover their eyes, but they had already taken them off by now.

Moreover, he had personally witnessed the reconstruction of Yuzhi's eyes, a situation that seemed utterly unbelievable to him!

"snort"

Suddenly, Yuzhi let out a soft groan, and his whole body began to tremble.

His pupils began to bleed, and the intense pain made him break out in a cold sweat.

While this pain was technically nothing compared to the sensation he felt after using Susanoo, it still had a chilling quality.

He felt as if someone had forcibly placed another pair of eyes into his eye sockets, forcibly merging his eyes together!

"Is it wrong, or..."

Yuri was completely unaware of her situation, but Shisui was utterly dumbfounded.

Because Shisui could clearly see that the strange new patterns on the haori's feet were changing again, with the original patterns appearing and the two combining together.

Everything was so perfect, and everything was interconnected.

The moment the two patterns completely overlapped and merged, a power that made even Shisui feel a tremor in his heart began to emerge!

huh... huh...

Just then, the excruciating pain that had given Hagoromo the creeps disappeared, as if it were an illusion.

He was breathing heavily, the pain was indescribable.

Just as he was feeling the pain, a powerful force began to spread throughout his body!

"Is this the Eye of Eternity?"

At this moment, Yuzhi could clearly feel just how terrifying that ultimate Yin Release was.

This intensity is many times stronger than the previous kaleidoscope!

At this intensity, he felt he could use all sorts of abilities more easily.

If the Amaterasu he used in the Kirigakure operation cost five units and Susanoo cost ten, then now he can accomplish all of this at a cost that is at least halved!

Even if the consumption is reduced, the power he can unleash will only be greater and stronger!

That's not all; at this moment, he was finally able to witness the full form of Susanoo.

In the depths of his consciousness, there seemed to be a Susanoo, clad in armor and ready for battle, guarding him, possessing boundless power.

Moreover, the mark of how to summon it has been deeply engraved in Yuzhi's mind!

"Not only that, but my body has also been strengthened once again."

Yu Zhi clenched his fist slightly, feeling as if his body contained boundless power.

Many years ago, when he activated the kaleidoscope, he noticed that his body had been comprehensively improved.

This applies to speed, strength, chakra, and even his reaction speed.

And this time is no different, and this time the improvement seems to be much greater than when the Kaleidoscope was activated!

"Now I think I understand why Madara Uchiha could easily evade Sasuke's attacks even without his eyes."

The improvement in his eyes led to a huge change in his body, which can be considered a kind of bloodline reversion. Moreover, Madara also has Hashirama cells and has already transformed into the Rinnegan.

With all these factors combined, Madara's condition had long surpassed the limits of humanity; at that point, he could no longer be considered human!

"And the biggest gain this time is the improvement in bloodline."

The enhancement of bloodline remains a mystery, and the wondrous feeling that the boiling bloodline brought him is indescribable.

Sometimes, Yuri wondered how close she was to Madara Uchiha, who was still waiting for the statistics.

"How much more do I need Indra?"

The orthodox Indra does not have the Rinnegan, so using him as a comparison is somewhat blasphemous, but Hagoromo doesn't care.

Besides, using him for comparison at this time might not be a bad choice!

"The gap may still be significant, but this goal shouldn't be too unrealistic, especially..."

In particular, the haori also has the opportunity for a "glorious evolution," an ability that enhances and strengthens potential—something others wouldn't even dare to dream of!

"Senior, are you alright?"

Shisui hadn't dared to breathe loudly before, but now that Yui's breathing had become steady, he dared to ask a question cautiously.

"Just now, your eyes, senior."

Yuzhi chuckled and shook her head, then said something in a very mysterious way.

"Didn't I tell you that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared? Only when you are prepared can you seize the opportunity when it comes?"

Alright, let's rest a bit more and then head back to Konoha. It's time to wrap things up for today.

After saying this, Yuzhi closed his eyes slightly, and the next moment his panel changed again.

[Glorious Evolution Activated]

[You can choose from three basic travel options to enhance your physical and mental well-being]

[Number of evolution attempts: 1]

[Remaining Evolution Attempts: 1]

[Evolutionary path chosen – Spirit]

-

"Not back yet?"

Hikaru sat on the sofa, somewhat lost in thought. Although she had agreed to stay in Konoha with Yuori, she was still rather depressed.

Although she had unwavering faith in Yu Zhi's strength, after all, in terms of sheer power, that little rascal Yu Zhi had already defied the Heavenly Gang.

Moreover, this guy may have already possessed strength that was no less than, or even surpassed, mine from a very early period.

Besides, this guy also has life-saving abilities like Kamui and Flying Thunder God, but Hikaru still can't help but worry a little.

"After all, I watched him grow up, and he's also my family and friend. It would be strange if I wasn't worried."

Hikari was also puzzled as to why she was worried about that jerk. After thinking it over, she could only use this excuse to convince herself.

As for her fiancé and such, although she had accepted it in her heart, she should forget about asking her to say it out loud!

"Let's leave it at least for now."

With her hands wrapped around her knees, Guang raised her head to look at the clock on the wall, and couldn't help but purse her lips slightly.

"You also mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and Kamui, and you went out early this morning but haven't come back yet. What exactly did you master?"

Guang couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but after she finished complaining, she suddenly froze.

Because she realized something: why was she waiting for him here?

"Hmph, come back or don't come back, it's up to you!"

Hikari gave a soft hum, then thought about getting up and going back to her room to rest. It was rare that Yui wasn't there, so she could go back to her own room.

But for some reason, she found herself not so keen on making a move; she seemed to want to wait and see.

"Forget it, let's wait and see. Maybe he won't be able to hold on and will ask me for help."

Hikaru closed his eyes and slowly began to sense the eight thousand spear marks left on the haori.

Until now, Yuzhi has only activated that mark once, which makes Hikaru not so satisfied.

Furthermore, the way the haori was activated wasn't quite right. It could have been used to remotely transfer chakra, but instead, it had to resort to physical force.

"I should have known long ago that you were an extremely awful person, but unfortunately, I discovered your true colors too late."

With her eyes tightly closed, Guang noticed that the Eight Thousand Spears remained completely still, and she couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Guang froze for a moment, because she suddenly realized that her eight thousand spear marks seemed to be very close to her!

At that moment, she clearly sensed that there seemed to be another person in the room, and that person's aura was so familiar.

Hikari quickly looked up and saw that Haori's face was already in front of her.

"Still awake?" Haori chuckled softly. "Are you waiting for me?"

"Yes, I'm waiting for you."

Although Guang really wanted to deny it, he simply admitted it when the words were on the tip of his tongue.

"You're always causing trouble."

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Hagoromo seemed surprised that Hikaru admitted it so readily, which left him speechless for a moment.

However, he quickly smiled, reached out and gently rubbed Guang's face before laughing.

"It won't happen again next time."

"Is everything going smoothly?"

Guang sat up straight and then asked curiously.

"Yes, everything went smoothly."

Yuzhi smiled and nodded.

"I've changed a lot since then."

Tell me about your experience this time.

Hikari was also very curious about what Yuori had gained this time. She knew Yuori too well; his current expression and smile indicated that what he had gained was definitely not just the Three-Tails' chakra.

Moreover, Hikaru keenly sensed that the aura emanating from the haori was somewhat unusual at this moment.

Even though it was so deeply hidden, she could still sense that there was a captivating power emanating from Yuzhi, a power that even she could feel her heart pounding!

This really piqued her curiosity, and she really wanted to know what had happened to Yuzhi.

"Is that so?"

Yuri smiled, and then, to Hikari's astonishment and speechlessness, he swept her up in a princess carry and carried her towards the room.

"What are you doing?"

"My story is long and needs to be told slowly. I can't just sit here forever, can I?"

"But."

"Besides, I'm exhausted from fighting all night, and you must be tired too after waiting for me for so long. Wouldn't it be better to do something more comfortable?"

"you"

"Don't worry, I took a shower at our old cabin before I came back."

Before Hikaru could finish speaking, Haori preemptively offered various answers, leaving Hikaru speechless.

Looking at the closed door behind him, Hikaru sighed helplessly.

They still couldn't escape.

Then she looked at Yuzhi with some annoyance, thinking, "You're the kind of person who only repays kindness with enmity. I waited for you for so long."

However, he ultimately didn't say a word of these words, after all, this wasn't the first time.
