Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan-Chapter 566 - Child of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox

After carefully experiencing the changes in the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in her eye sockets, Tsukihi slowly drew up some conclusions that are of major significance.

First, the most significant and obvious change is definitely the increase in the Visual Prowess of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and this enhancement is the kind of enhancement that can be clearly felt. As per Tsukihi’s own estimation; she’d say her Visual Prowess has increased by twenty-five to thirty per cent… Which is a lot!

The second, and most surprising change is the rejection phenomenon.

And last but not the least, the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan are trying to influence Tsukihi, her emotions, and her thought process.

After recording all these conclusions on her test leg, Tsukihi was lost in thought.

The increase in Visual Prowess was not that surprising considering the Yang Chakra Stimulation that the eyes have received.

But the sudden rejection phenomenon surprised Tsukiihi as there was no such case before, and she didn’t expect it to appear either.

The most reasonable speculation to explain the rejection phenomenon is the increase in Visual Prowess. And if we go by this scenario, then the eyes’ attempt to influence Tsukihi’s thoughts and emotions is brought by this rejection phenomenon.

The aforementioned explanation seems quite self-explanatory as the increase in the Visual Prowess has brought an ‘Alive’ characteristic to the eyes, and since the eyes now contain the manifestation of Ryota and Hideki’s instinctive thoughts, so they seem to be trying to reject Tsukihi, who is not the original awakener of the eyes, at the same time influence her.

Although quite a dangerous situation, this is not a bad thing for Tsukihi.

Because these observations, speculations, and explanations clearly show that the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan has indeed changed after being stimulated by the Yang Chakra of Hashirama Cells, and is essentially different compared to a few months back.

In fact, it wouldn’t even be wrong to say that these eyes are now in an evolutionary state somewhere higher than the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and lower than the Rinnegan.

As for the reason why they failed to evolve into the Rinnegan?

Tsukihi speculates that the reason is probably either the lack of sufficient Yin Chakra or the Yang Chakra in terms of quality and quantity, or that the host who was used for the evolution process did not meet all the required standards, after all, Shisui who was used as a host wasn’t the original awakener of these eyes, so it’s not too surprising…

If Tsukihi were to use Uchiha Madara’s Rinnegan awakening as a reference, at the time of transplanting the Hashirama Cells he was already standing at the pinnacle of the Shinobi World; and even then, only decades after the transplantation of Hashirama Cells; by the time he was reaching his death did the Rinnegan awaken.

From Madara’s reference, it can be seen that for the evolution of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan to Rinnegan, the amount of Chakra required should have been very high.

And if we go along with this speculation, does that mean these eyes will evolve when the Chakra requirements are met?

‘Perhaps a special scenario has to be created to meet the Chakra requirements necessary for the evolution…’

With this thought in mind, Tsukihi dressed up herself; disguised as Homusubi, and then left Ancor Vantian.

…

In an underground base.

Slurp Slurp Slurp

The sound of slurping continued to echo as a certain blonde-haired kid; was busy gulping down cups of Ramen.

From the casual and unrestrained way of eating without minding his location, it didn’t appear as if he was kidnapped, and even he didn’t seem to have the consciousness of being a hostage.

Looking at this scene, the readers can only sigh, “Well, that’s Uzumaki Naruto for’ya…”

At the same time, the black hired girl with the bob cut and pure white eyes sitting next to him seemed rather timid which was much more normal given their circumstances, and she was barely eating in small bites while vigilantly looking around in fear.𝒇re𝐞w𝐞𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵeƖ c𝗼𝑚

While the two kids… we being themselves, a figure walked out of darkness…

Hinata’s expression shrank, she quickly put aside her Cup of Ramen and clutched onto Naruto’s jacket as she timidly looked at the person walking towards them.

Seeing Hinata’s reaction, Naruto looked at the incoming person and shouted towards him with an angry expression, “Orochimaru…! Don’t even think about hurting my friend!”

Indeed, the figure that walked out of the darkness is not someone else, but Orochimaru who kidnapped Naruto and Hinata from the refugee shelter.

Obviously, Naruto doesn’t know or realize who exactly is Orochimaru, but back when they were in the refugee shelter, Naruto had heard Anko yelling the opposite man as ‘Orochimaru’, so the innocently ignorant and oblivious Naruto also directly referred to him as ‘Orochimaru’.

Compared to Naruto who doesn’t know anything about who or what the name Orochimaru represents, Hinata, being the first princess of the Hyuga Clan has obviously heard the name of the Snake Sannin Orochimaru, which is why, she also realizes the horror of the man walking towards them, and doesn’t dare to look up at him…

“As they say, sometimes ignorance is also a bliss…” Orochimaru chuckled, and walked over without paying any mind to Naruto’s warning, nor did he seem to care about Naruto’s ignorance…

Naruto didn’t know Orochimaru’s meaning, but seeing the other party coming towards them, he quickly emptied his Cup of Ramen in one single bite, then with his mouth filed up, he hurriedly stood in front of Hinata; guarding her against Orochimaru… and questioned, “Oi… Owowimawu… wha zu eu han hu zu su er?” (“Oi… Orochimaru… what do you want to do to her?”)

Looking at Naruto trying to protect Hinata even with his mouth filled with Ramen, Orochimaru stretched out his hand, coiled it around Naruto, and flung it to the side, then reached out his hand to lift Hinata’s chin and looked into her pure white eyes…

If this action was performed by someone other than Orochimaru; especially a certain blonde-haired kid, Hinata would have made Hinata blush in embarrassment which might have either led to a ‘Doki-doki’ and ‘dere-dere’ moment, or she might have become unconscious with steam coming out of her head, but because the other party is Orochimaru, such a thing was obviously impossible.

In fact, being stared at by Orochimaru’s snake-like pupils and being subjected to his murderous pressure; Hinata shivered; she was so afraid that she didn’t even dare to breathe at all!

“Orochimaru… let Hinata go!”

Seeing Orochimaru seemed to be having some ideas about Hinata, Naruto with his sense of justice shouted; and was about to rush towards him…

“Aare?… Snake…? Where did these snakes come from?!”

But just as Naruto was about to get up, he realized that he was unable to move for some reason… He quickly looked down and noticed that his hands and feet were being bound by several snakes that were staring at him as if they will bite him the very next moment… making Naruto dare not make any careless moves.

With Naruto quieted down, Orochimaru continued to observe Hinata’s eyes, and after finding nothing worth attention, he shook his head in disappointment, “Byakugan… although, one of the three great Dojutsu… it doesn’t seem to have anything special that would make it comparable to the Sharingan and the Rinnegan.”

As more and more Uchiha Clansmen with Mangekyou Sharingan appeared in the Shinobi World, and as the presence of Nagato with the Rinnegan became more and more dominating, the reputation of the Byakugan that has been considered as one of the two major Dojutsu of Konoha alongside the Sharingan, fell to the bottom and people even start to wonder if being considered one of the Three Great Dojutsu is a bit of an exaggeration and misnomer for the Byakugan.

After all, the Hyuga Clan has no notable people who can compare themselves with the likes of Mangekyou Sharingan awakeners of the Uchiha Clan, and the Rinnegan bearer Nagato…

Orochimaru has also studied the Byakugan, but he found nothing too attractive about it.

In addition to the outstanding investigative ability and the ability to see through the chakra points of the enemies, Byakugan has close to zero performance in other aspects so Orochimaru soon lost interest in the Byakugan and was attracted towards Sharingan… specifically towards the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Rinnegan because of their wonderful and mysterious origin and abilities.

Bored upon not getting what he wanted, Orochimaru released Hinata and also recalled the snakes that tied up naruto’s hands and feet.

Upon regaining his freedom, Naruto hurried towards Hinata, and while protecting her, he said to Orochimaru, “It doesn’t matter if you have caught me Orochimaru, but do you even know who she is? Hinata is from a famous Shinobi clan from the Village called… it seems to be called… aare what was it called again? Well, whatever… she is from a famous Shinobi Clan… if you dare to hurt her, the people from her Clan will not spare you…!”

Naruto is still not that much aware of the concept of the noble society, especially the meaning and powers of the Shinobi Clans such as the Uchiha and the Hyuga… but after spending a lot of time with Sasuke, and always listening to Sasuke’s boasting about the Uchiha Clan as the first and the strongest Clan of Konoha, he has come to understand that children like Sasuke and Hinata are born differently from civilians like him.

Children like Sasuke and Hinata who are part of the major Shinobi Clans such as the Uchiha and Hyuga are born naturally superior to the civilians like him. They are not your run-of-the-mill people who can be provoked so easily, even the ordinary villagers don’t dare to mess around with them…

Seeing Naruto’s serious look as he earnestly explained all this to Orochimaru, Orochimaru couldn’t help but think of the man named Namikaze Minato, Konoha’s Yellow Flash, the man who had bested Orochimaru and became Konoha’s Yondaime Hokage.

Looking at the child of that man standing in front of him, Orochimaru sneered, the corners of his lips arched and he asked Naruto in a gentle tone, “Boy… are you aware of who are parents are?”

Upon listening to Orochimaru’s sudden question, Naruto’s words came to a sudden pause, his entire aura became lonely, and he barely nodded…

‘Does this kid knows the identity of his parents?’ Orochimaru was a little surprised, and muttered, “Is it possible that someone in the Village violated Sarutobi-Sensei’s order and informed Naruto of the identity of his parents?”

After the death of the Yondaime couple, Sandaime Hokage had issued an order to keep the identity and the life experience of Naruto’s parents a secret from him, and Orochimaru didn’t think that anyone in the Village would dare to blatantly violate Sandaime Hokage’s order regarding such a serious matter, as such he didn’t consider the possibility that Naruto would be aware of the identity of his parents…

In the first place, the number of people who are aware of Naruto’s true identity is very few, so Orochimaru was more surprised upon learning this information, at the same time, he became curious about the person who dared to inform Naruto the real identity of his parents, and Orochimaru was also interested in that persons’ intentions behind leaking such a piece of secret information to Naruto, so he questioned, “Who told you?”

Naruto kicked the stone beside his feet, and replied absently, “Everyone says…”

‘Everyone?’ Orochimaru frowned, and questioned, “What does everyone say? Who… are your parents?”

Naruto whispered lightly, “The Nine-tailed Demon Fox…”
