Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

However, this possibility is extremely low. Even if Kirito is a genius, he has only learned the Spirit Transformation Technique in half a year. Mastering it is already astonishing. If he could then use it to develop a ninjutsu that causes the soul to explode, that would be simply unbelievable.

Orochimaru's shadow clone, recalling the orphanage and Kirito, the strongest person in the orphanage, and then thinking of Kirito's Spirit Transformation Technique, shook his head and said.

He didn't believe Kirito killed the snake using his spiritification technique, but he still suspected that Kirito was the most likely person to kill the snake.

Because in this area, the orphanage is the closest force to the death of the venomous snake.

Now, thanks to Kirito, the orphanage, which has undergone a dramatic transformation, is no longer just a place with a very low profile in Konoha. It is now the base of many young civilian ninjas and has unknowingly become a young force in Konoha.

And the leader of this force is Kirito.

It's now speculated that Kirito has mastered some kind of bloodline limit that allows him to kill targets remotely.

"Interesting. I really want him to join my mission team soon."

Orochimaru's shadow clone thought excitedly, then couldn't help but stick out its long tongue and lick its lips.

Then, he formed a hand seal, turned into white smoke, and disappeared from the spot.

"It's happening again. It's disgusting. I feel like I'm being watched."

Kirito watched Orochimaru's shadow clone stick out its tongue with his Byakugan and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

However, since Orochimaru left so decisively, he no longer needs to worry about accidentally killing Orochimaru's summoned beast.

This matter could be a big deal or a small deal. If Orochimaru insists on investigating it thoroughly, it will definitely cause trouble for the orphanage.

After all, that spirit beast came from the powerful Dragon Land Cave.

The Third Hokage will most likely send someone to investigate out of respect for Ryuchi Cave, to give Orochimaru and Ryuchi Cave an explanation, and he will be the key target of the investigation.

"From now on, if you see an animal with chakra inside it, you can't just kill it casually. It might be a ninja's summoning beast."

Kirito silently warned himself.

Next, he continued to test the Blood Dragon Eye's abilities. He took some blood packs from the laboratory, poured them all into a basin, and then activated the Blood Dragon Eye.

The next moment, the blood in the basin flew out of the basin under his control and then transformed into various shapes in mid-air.

He tried to use the Blood Dragon Eye's blood manipulation ability to turn the blood into a sharp spike and then manipulate it to pierce the ground. However, the blood spike was merely a facade and could not penetrate the ground at all.

Kirito was not disappointed, because he had not consumed too much of the Blood Dragon Eye chakra in his body to control the Blood Spikes.

He now calls that special blood-red Yin Release chakra Blood Dragon Eye Chakra.

This special chakra is the source of power for the Blood Dragon Eye's abilities. As long as the consumption of this special chakra is increased, the Blood Dragon Eye's abilities will be enhanced. The extent of the enhancement is currently unknown.

All he knows right now is that when the Blood Dragon Eye is activated using Wood Release chakra or Sage Mode chakra, its abilities are immediately enhanced.

This is because the quality of the Blood Dragon Eye Chakra produced after absorbing two types of chakra is far higher than that of the Blood Dragon Eye Chakra produced after absorbing ordinary chakra.

In particular, after activating the Blood Dragon Eye with Sage Chakra, the Blood Dragon Eye can kill Orochimaru's summoned snake from a distance of hundreds of meters by consuming only a small amount of Blood Dragon Eye Chakra.

He has now named the Blood Dragon Eye's ability to destroy enemies from a distance "Blood Dragon Eye: Blood Explosion"!

Kirito began to consume more of the Blood Dragon Eye Chakra at once to manipulate the blood, causing it to transform back into the shape of spikes.

This time, the blood spikes were like real iron spikes, deeply embedded in the ground, without showing any signs of disintegration.

Kirito thus derives a principle: the more blood dragon eye chakra consumed, the harder the object formed using blood becomes.

"What if we directly inject the Blood Dragon Eye Chakra into the bloodstream?"

Kirito suddenly thought to himself.

In the original storyline, Chino, a descendant of the Blood Pond clan who awakened the Blood Dragon Eye, once spilled her blood into the blood-red pond water, allowing the blood to spread in the water. In doing so, she manipulated the water to form a powerful blood dragon to attack Sasuke.

He now suspects that the blood might contain the Blood Dragon Eye Chakra.

Without hesitation, a blood-red chakra line formed from the Blood Dragon Eye chakra suddenly shot out from his arm and into the pool of blood in front of him.

In an instant, Kirito discovered that the blood infused with the Blood Dragon Eye chakra had become even more closely connected to him, giving him a feeling of being connected to his own flesh and blood, as if it were a part of his own body.

A thought struck him, and his blood instantly transformed into a gleaming, blood-stained spike, which then plunged fiercely into the ground.

Then, the blood transformed into a sharp, blood-soaked samurai sword.

A flash of light.

Kirito's finely crafted kunai was instantly cut in two.

"Interesting. This is the correct way to use the Blood Dragon Eye to manipulate blood. Injecting Blood Dragon Eye Chakra into fresh blood not only greatly reduces the consumption of Blood Dragon Eye Chakra, but also allows one to further improve one's control over blood. Furthermore, the hardness of objects shaped by blood will also increase significantly. Also, the Blood Dragon Eye Chakra in the blood is not consumed during my blood manipulation. They can actually maintain their existence by consuming blood. It's incredible."

Kirito used the Byakugan power on the White Zetsu clone to see clearly the process of him using the Blood Dragon Eye to manipulate blood in battle, and came to this conclusion.

Finally, one more conclusion is that when blood is injected with the Blood Dragon Eye Chakra, it will not coagulate; the Blood Dragon Eye Chakra will automatically prevent this from happening.

"Not bad, not bad. The blood manipulation ability of this Blood Dragon Eye is no less than my special magnetic escape. In some ways, it is even more powerful than the special magnetic escape."

Because it is more deadly, once blood infused with the Blood Dragon Eye Chakra injures a person, it is equivalent to the Blood Dragon Eye Chakra being injected into the enemy's body.

At that time, Blood Dragon Eye's other ability, the Body Bomb, can be activated immediately, and his illusions will also be more likely to catch enemies. Undoubtedly, Blood Dragon Eye's blood manipulation ability is the foundational core of his other abilities.

Kirito looked at the blood sphere in front of him, which was infused with the chakra of the Blood Dragon Eye, and quickly realized its danger.

At that moment, images of him using the Blood Dragon Eye's abilities to fight on the battlefield involuntarily flashed through his mind—scenes that would undoubtedly be extremely bloody and terrifying.

He manipulated the blood flowing from all the corpses, then infused it with the Blood Dragon Eye Chakra. At his will, the blood transformed into blood needles, senbon needles, kunai, and other objects for shooting, or into a giant blood dragon and blood waves that swept across the battlefield. All enemies harmed by the blood he controlled were turned into human bombs and exploded to their deaths.

He walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, unharmed, covered only in blood splattered from enemy explosions.

What will the enemy call him then?

"I am not a warmonger. As long as the enemy knows the difficulty and is willing to surrender and pay reparations, I will still let them go and will not do anything to kill innocent people."

Kirito shook his head, dispelling the bloody imagery in his mind. He then took out a summoning card and used the Summoning Technique: Absorption Technique to absorb the blood sphere in front of him.

The test on the blood dragon eye has come to a temporary end.

"Next, it's time to meet with Iwagakure and other ill-intentioned guys. I'll use them to properly test the power of the Byakugan."

Kirito closed his Blood Dragon Eyes, looked at the White Zetsu clone, and smiled slightly.

The next moment, the White Zetsu clone used the Mayfly Technique to quickly burrow underground and headed rapidly towards the Land of Rain.

Kirito himself left two shadow clones in the laboratory to continue its work, while he quickly left the orphanage and headed towards the hospital.

It's time to ask Tsunade for medical ninjutsu again.

Since Tsunade returned to Konoha, she has directly accepted the position of vice director of the hospital, but in reality, her power is greater than that of Sarutobi Biwako, who is the director.

Because the heads of various departments are willing to follow her orders, and no longer engage in infighting behind closed doors due to factions, which causes each other to be held back.

With Tsunade around, the hospital's work efficiency has been significantly and dramatically improved.

Under Tsunade's special care, he was finally freed from the complicated daily clinic work, gaining more time to study medical knowledge. He also continued to enjoy the opportunity to receive private lessons from Tsunade, allowing him to access various valuable medical knowledge without needing any special privileges.

He learned how to use the chakra scalpel in the last few days under Tsunade's guidance, and he also learned various precious pill formulas for conditioning the body, detoxifying, and enhancing physical fitness, all of which Tsunade passed on to him like cabbages.

It has to be said that Tsunade, his older sister, has given him so many benefits, making him feel incredibly happy.

Kirito has decided that she's the best older sister he knows.

……

In a relatively prosperous border town near the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Earth, the son of the Third Tsuchikage, Kotsuchi, is drinking alone in a room of a high-class hotel.

"Where on earth did this guy go? I've been here for a week and he hasn't contacted me at all. Even if he can't come in person, he should at least send someone to explain the situation. Is he planning to cancel the deal?"

Huang Tu drank the cup of wine in his hand, feeling very depressed.

He was stood up, and for many days at that. His mood was as bad as a rainy day outside. He really wanted to find someone to fight and get rid of the deep resentment in his heart.

However, he was quite forgiving of Hattori Masanari standing him up. Their Iwagakure intelligence network was not to be underestimated. This border town, which was born from border trade between the Land of Earth and the Land of Rain, had a large number of Iwagakure spies.

For example, the high-class hotel where he is currently staying is owned by people from Iwagakure.

Therefore, he knew that a large number of Konoha and Sunagakure spies had gathered in this small border town.

In addition, several mysterious forces and powerful lone wolves are active in the deeper areas.

The reason these monsters and demons appeared here was undoubtedly because they had their eyes on the deal between Iwagakure and Hattori Masanari, and were preparing to sabotage or seize the outcome of the deal.

Huang Tu has been targeted by assassins in recent days, but fortunately, he is strong and has strong protection, so he has remained safe and sound.

However, Huang Tu felt a deadly danger during several assassination attempts.

This was a signal that there were powerful ninjas lurking in the shadows, capable of posing a life-threatening danger to him, who were trying to take advantage of the situation. However, none of them chose to attack in the end, otherwise he certainly wouldn't be safe and sound now.

However, in recent days, the level of assassination attempts has clearly increased. The ninjas and bounty hunters coming to assassinate him are becoming stronger and stronger, and their methods are becoming increasingly difficult to defend against.

"Wait one more day. If we still can't find anyone, let's go back."

After drinking another cup of wine in silence, Huang Tu quietly made up his mind.

It wasn't that he didn't want to wait any longer, but he simply couldn't wait any longer. If he waited any longer, the powerful ninja who posed a huge threat to him would probably lose his temper and attack him directly, since he was an Iwa ninja who had gained so much from him.

Out of caution and because of his status, the bargaining chip that Iwagakure used to make a deal with Hattori Masanari fell on him this time.

The bargaining chips in this transaction include a large number of Earth Release ninjutsu, including an S-rank Earth Release ninjutsu, the value of which is self-evident.

If we can kill him, we might be able to obtain these precious ninjutsu techniques from him.

Many assassins targeted him precisely because of this.

Furthermore, as the son of the Third Tsuchikage, he was of noble birth and a powerful elite Jonin in Iwagakure. The bounty for his head at the underground gold exchange was extremely high, reaching 1.2 million.

If you kill him, get his head, and then successfully access the underground gold exchange, you can become rich overnight.

Huang Tu had a good tolerance for alcohol, but after drinking five bottles of strong liquor in a row, he seemed to be a little drunk, his face was flushed, and his eyes were a bit blurry.

But the next moment, his previously somewhat dazed eyes instantly cleared and sharpened, and he suddenly looked into the shadows of the room.

Just as he was about to use some powerful Earth Release ninjutsu to force the guest who had suddenly appeared in the shadows out, a figure he had been eagerly awaiting emerged from the shadows.

"Long time no see, Mr. Loess."

Kirito, disguised as Hattori Masashige through a White Zetsu clone, greeted the yellow earth with a smile.

"Hmph, it really has been a long time. I thought I would never see you again. Do you think you have so much influence that we in Iwagakure will keep waiting for you to come and trade? Hattori Masanari, our patience and tolerance towards you in Iwagakure have their limits."

Upon hearing this, Huang Tu's expression instantly turned from surprise to indifference, and he sneered.

And they still have the nerve to smile and say it's been a long time? What time is it? They've been waiting for him, and they've been waiting for Iwagakure for a long time.

"I am very sorry, Mr. Huangtu. I absolutely did not mean to keep you and your Iwagakure waiting for so long. It's just that I've been being watched closely lately, and it's been difficult to find an opportunity to meet you. I'm sure you understand my predicament. The one who is here now is just a water clone of mine."

I'm pressed for time, so I won't waste any more words. Our trading location needs to be changed, but I hope that you Iwagakure people can stay here and attract the attention of those with ill intentions.
