Just as he was thinking this, a loud noise came from behind him.
He turned around hastily, only to see two people who surprised him.
"Kakashi-sensei, judging from the feeling, it was this guy who cast the curse."
"I have some impression of this person. His name is Hiruko. He was a classmate of the Sannin, but because his talent was far inferior to theirs, he developed a secret technique that could steal the bloodline limit of others. After the incident, he was personally expelled from Konoha by the Sannin."
The newcomers were none other than Naruto and Kakashi!
Hiruko's eyes widened, and he asked in a trembling voice, "How is this possible? I clearly haven't activated the puppet seal yet, so why are you here?"
The Sharingan did indeed come to his side, albeit in a way he didn't want to see.
Kakashi helplessly spread his hands upon hearing this, "Unfortunately, our Fifth Hokage's sensory abilities are far stronger than you think."
Using the puppet seal on Kakashi's forehead, Naruto, with the help of Kagura's Mind's Eye, used his powerful sensory abilities to detect Hiruko's location and then attacked without attracting any attention.
"Impossible! Even if you discovered the puppet curse mark, I clearly set up so many traps outside, and my subordinates..."
"Those things, I took care of them on the way here."
Bei Liu Hu was both shocked and terrified upon hearing this.
Although he has been engrossed in experiments over the years, he still knows about things like the rise of the Fifth Hokage.
But he hadn't expected the Fifth Hokage to be so young and so powerful!
"Another genius... Haha, fate is never fair."
"What I hate most... is geniuses like you!"
Enraged, Hiruko unleashed a massive burst of chakra, causing a large cumulonimbus cloud to appear in the sky and cover his secret base. Countless violent bolts of lightning then poured down upon it.
"Watch out for Naruto! He might have already fused four different bloodline limits, his strength shouldn't be underestimated!" Kakashi hurriedly warned, instinctively wanting to protect Naruto.
Then he discovered that Naruto had activated Sage Mode and conjured a giant golden fox head that enveloped the two of them, so that no matter how fierce the lightning was, it could not harm them in the slightest.
"Kakashi-sensei, what did you just say?" Naruto, who had been calm and collected, looked at him in confusion.
"……nothing."
The lightning strike completely destroyed Hiruko's secret base, including him.
However, when Hiruko reappeared before the two, he appeared to be completely unharmed.
"The Demon Sprout Technique... Interesting."
"Naruto, it seems my left eye has recently awakened some incredible ability. I'll cover for you in the next round..."
Before Kakashi could finish speaking, Naruto had already rushed out and sent Hiruko flying with a single punch.
"Ok?"
That punch felt strange, like hitting steel.
As expected, Hiruko was not injured by Naruto's punch, even though that punch was enhanced by Sage Mode.
"See that! I've proven through hard work that geniuses are not insurmountable!"
Hiruko laughed maniacally, his face full of smugness.
In response, he was met with Kakashi's Lightning Blade!
Hiruko merely sneered at this, raised his hand, and then completely absorbed Kakashi's Lightning Blade.
"Here you go!"
Hiruko was able to release the absorbed ninjutsu again, catching Kakashi off guard and causing him to be caught off guard by a sneak attack.
Seeing that even the genius ninja Kakashi Hatake was no match for him, Hiruko laughed even more arrogantly.
"Hahaha! I've surpassed the Legendary Sannin! Once I obtain the Sharingan, I'll be the strongest ninja in the world, and no one will be my match!"
However, at that moment, a huge wooden dragon suddenly rose from the ground and charged straight at him.
Shocked, Hiruko quickly used Swift Escape to increase his speed to a level invisible to the naked eye in order to evade.
However, Mulong seemed to have anticipated his landing point and was waiting there in advance, firmly binding Beiluhu.
Even Kakashi was utterly shocked by what he saw: Wood Release? Naruto has actually mastered Wood Release? Even the most talented person has a limit, right?
"Storm Release, Steel Release, Dark Release, and Swift Release—four bloodline limits, which is indeed much more than the average person."
Naruto's face showed a playful expression.
"But isn't it a coincidence? I was also researching bloodline limits before I returned to Konoha, and I just happened to know more about them than you do."
Magnet Release, Storm Release, Ice Release, Explosion Release, Wood Release—all sorts of bloodline limits were unleashed upon Hiruko.
Bei Liu's eyes widened in horror, as if he had seen a ghost.
How is this possible! How could anyone possess so many bloodline limits! Even I, with my Oni-Garuru technique, can't do that!
With things having come to this, he could only accept reality and desperately activated his Dark Release technique to absorb as much of Naruto's ninjutsu as possible.
However, something unbelievable soon happened: Naruto's ninjutsu was too powerful, exceeding his absorption limit!
Left with no other option, Hiruko had to use Steel Release to strengthen his defenses.
However, his body strength, comparable to steel, was as fragile as paper in the face of Naruto's ninjutsu.
Finally, unable to resist all of this, Hiruko was bombarded with ninjutsu and lay on the ground half-dead, her eyes filled with confusion.
The situation changed too quickly; one second he was still gloating, thinking he had surpassed those geniuses.
But when faced with true geniuses, he realized how weak he truly was.
This transformation from heaven to hell was completely unacceptable to Hiruko, and she even felt like crying.
"Hiruko, you're a genius!" Naruto suddenly exclaimed.
"Heh, nobody listens to that kind of comfort," Hiruko gritted his teeth.
"No, I'm serious. Although it doesn't look perfect yet, the Ghost Sprout Technique is indeed a brilliant idea."
"So what? You geniuses are all the same. You can't understand how much effort it takes for us ordinary people to achieve the same things as you."
Naruto shook his head: "I can understand, because I used to be a loser too. It was only after I met a very powerful friend that everything changed."
"And when it comes to hard work, I'm afraid no one can compare to Teacher Kai and Xiao Li."
“You did make one mistake, which was not bringing the Ghost Sprout Luo Technique with you when you came to me, otherwise I would have definitely given you an important position.”
Hiruko strained to look up at Naruto, only to find that the expression on his face was genuine.
"Then I really am unlucky, being born more than ten years too early."
Naruto sighed, "Life is unpredictable."
"Go in peace. The Ghost Sprout Technique will be perfected in my hands and help me reach the pinnacle of power."
The Demon Sparrow Technique still has a huge flaw. Hiruko's fusion method was too crude, and he himself was aware of this. Therefore, he originally planned to use celestial phenomena to fuse with the last bloodline limit Sharingan.
Therefore, Hiruko, whose body was not strong enough to withstand the burden of fusion, was practically beyond saving.
However, this does not mean that the Oni-Garuru Technique is useless. In fact, the system has even come up with ideas for improvement, so Naruto's claim of being a genius is indeed genuine.
Hearing Naruto's words, Hiruko used the last of his strength to raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
"The Demon Sprout Technique... the only one... proof that I'm a genius... to reach the pinnacle of strength... ha... Naruto Uzumaki... don't end up like me..."
Naruto watched Hiru breathe his last and slowly shook his head.
I won't, absolutely not, after all, I have the system as my good partner.
Chapter 77 Is the Masked Man's True Identity Uchiha Obito? (3000 words, please subscribe)
Carrying the information about the Demon Sprout Technique, Naruto cast Wind Release: Flight Technique on himself and Kakashi, and flew back towards Konoha.
At this point, Kakashi wasn't even surprised that Naruto could fly anymore.
"Naruto, what's with all these bloodline limits of yours?" he finally couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing. I just studied how to master bloodline limits when I was in Sunagakure. Although so far only I have succeeded."
"Why can you talk about something that's truly groundbreaking so casually?"
"Era-defining... compared to what I'm going to do in the future, it's nothing."
Kakashi remained silent.
Unbeknownst to him, his disciple seemed to have gone very far, so far that he had to look up to him.
"By the way, Kakashi-sensei, what happened to your left eye?"
"Hmm... how should I put it? After I was hit by Itachi Uchiha's Tsukuyomi last time, it seems that some incredible ability in my left eye has awakened from its slumber."
"I remember now, I even said you turned misfortune into a blessing in disguise."
Naruto knew that Kakashi's Sharingan had actually awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan form a long time ago, but it had been dormant for some reason.
But now, stimulated by the same Mangekyou Sharingan, he has woken up.
So Naruto, as usual, had the system secretly analyze Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan.
This analysis revealed that it was indeed quite different from Sasuke's.
Kakashi Hatake's Mangekyou Sharingan is still slightly different from Sasuke Uchiha's. Analysis suggests there's no risk of blindness, only a greater drain on his energy. However, this is because Kakashi doesn't have Uchiha blood.
[Perhaps this is the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan? But Kakashi isn't of Uchiha blood, so theoretically he shouldn't have the chakra to stimulate his Sharingan to become the Mangekyou, nor could he have any relatives from the Uchiha clan to allow him to fuse two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan.]
[So, when he obtained it, this eye was already the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?]
"Huh? That can't be right, right? I heard that Kakashi-sensei's Sharingan came from his best friend, Uchiha Obito, but Uchiha Obito didn't awaken his Sharingan before the day he sacrificed himself. Does that mean he only spent one day transforming from someone who had never awakened his Sharingan into someone with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?"
[Reasonable speculation 1: Perhaps Obito Uchiha did not die. As the owner of the Sharingan, he was later stimulated, and his Sharingan evolved into the current Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, which also affected Kakashi Hatake.]
[Reasonable speculation 2: Perhaps Obito Uchiha didn't die. As the owner of the Sharingan, he received Hashirama's cells, so the Mangekyou Sharingan didn't pose a risk of blindness. This also affected Kakashi Hatake's side.]
[Reasonable Speculation 3: Obito Uchiha did indeed die, but there exists a method we are unaware of that allows the Sharingan to evolve.]
After hearing the system's words, Naruto's expression became serious.
He suddenly remembered something very important and quickly asked Kakashi, "Kakashi-sensei, what is your Mangekyou Sharingan?"
Kakashi closed his eyes and thought for a while, seemingly trying to gather some information.
