Chapter 3 Opening Eyes
Chapter 3 Opening Eyes
It's been ten years.
Akaishi finally endured until the very end.
Although "he" is now seriously ill, he vaguely remembers that the title mentioned something about "regret".
Shouldn't I be able to do it myself now?
Even from the perspective of common sense about illusion magic, this is clearly a trap. If you take action, your consciousness may be severely damaged... Akaishi accepted it!
However, what Akaishi didn't expect was...
The way she "made her regret it" was that the male protagonist she was so immersed in, Hong Yan, died of illness, and then she saw Liu Ru's regret from the perspective of her soul, and her stupid and wicked best friend was finally moved...
Akaashi:? ? ?
Surely they won't stop me from killing anyone?
What does that mean?
ended?
Tobirama Senju, you are utterly wicked!
After Akaishi finished immersing himself in the story, the platform even had a survey asking him if he was satisfied with the ending...
In Akaishi's view, this was nothing short of a mockery and coercion by Tobirama Senju!
I'm not satisfied at all!
Because his previously severed external senses suddenly returned, Akaishi's body erupted in fury before he could even react: "They actually betrayed me... and killed me with that vixen!"
At the same time, Akaishi felt a chill in his brain, followed by an abnormal flow of chakra that rushed uncontrollably into his eyes. Immediately, his pupils stung, and then his chakra began to fluctuate violently throughout his body...
Everything around me became clear at this moment, all dynamic sensations became easy to capture, and even... my own thoughts became more acute and calmer than before.
Sarutobi, Danzo, Mikoto... and the rest of the group: !!!
What's going on?
Has it really opened my eyes?
and……
This was because he was angered by his ancestor, Uchiha Madara's, act of betraying the village.
pat-
Soon, Akaishi sat back down, and the strange phenomenon in his eyes completely disappeared—firstly, because he had just opened his eyes and they were still unstable, and secondly… Akaishi's ninja aptitude was very ordinary, only at the level of an ordinary ninja academy graduate, and even weaker among his peers in the clan. He simply couldn't withstand such an intense eye opening!
Akaishi, whose legs went weak and who sat back down, easily calmed down thanks to his recent awakening of his eyes.
While not exactly composed, he immediately began to consider the causes and consequences, rather than simply standing there in a daze.
What's going on? How did I suddenly gain insight?
[Was it because of... the stimulation from that illusion?]
Judging from my physical condition, only about two hours have passed since I was under the illusion spell...
[No one else seemed to realize I was under an illusion; they were just surprised that I had opened my eyes?]
Why does the Third Hokage also look surprised? Is he really unaware, or is he acting?
I think I just swore at something, will they think I'm weird...?
……
"Ahem, Uchiha Akaishi, right? I understand your indignation... Your 'indignation' is also part of the power that unites us in Konoha!" Sarutobi looked at Uchiha Akaishi with emotion—he had just matched this loyal Uchiha with the name on the student list he had seen before.
"I...I'm sorry." Akaishi awkwardly stood up to apologize, his legs still feeling weak due to chakra depletion.
Akaishi also had doubts...
What is that gorilla saying? Is it pointing at me?
"Alright, that's the end of the story. Now... let's do the Jonin team assignments." Sarutobi then looked at Jiraiya, whom he had brought with him, and gave him all sorts of meaningful glances.
Jiraiya: ? ? ?
Jiraiya did understand Sarutobi-sensei's signal, but... he didn't quite grasp it. Nevertheless, he was the first to step onto the stage.
The graduates were very excited to meet their first mentor, the famous Jiraiya!
Jiraiya, a famous commoner genius ninja among the younger generation of Konoha.
Twelve years ago, Jiraiya graduated and, along with Tsunade and Orochimaru, became a Jonin under the guidance of Hiruzen Sarutobi, thus becoming a disciple of the Third Hokage.
The First and Second Hokage succeeded each other by their brothers, while the Second and Third Hokage succeeded each other by their master and disciple. Therefore, many people suspect that the Fourth Hokage might also be a disciple of the Third Hokage...
Of course, even without considering that aspect, Jiraiya is still one of the best young Jonin in Konoha!
Seeing him come to serve as the instructor of Jonin, the graduates were naturally both excited and expectant...
After Jiraiya came up, he didn't waste any words and said directly, "Those whose names are called next, come with me: Minato Namikaze, Akaishi Uchiha... Ranma."
After Jiraiya finished speaking, he glanced at Sarutobi-sensei—he had been asked by Sarutobi-sensei to come and serve as a Jonin instructor.
The three spots for graduates had already been decided beforehand.
Hiruzen Sarutobi originally intended to give his eldest son and the granddaughter of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, to Jiraiya, while Jiraiya himself had his eye on Minato Namikaze...
However, Jiraiya understood the wink Sarutobi gave him earlier—"Add that Uchiha in!"
Awakening the Sharingan at the age of twelve, while not earth-shattering, is still considered top-tier. Moreover, the abilities of the Sharingan are extremely powerful among ordinary ninjas. Even if it is only the initial awakening, if the chakra level is not yet at the Chunin level, it will quickly increase to a level close to the Chunin level. Furthermore, due to abilities such as dynamic vision and the ability to copy chakra flow, ninjutsu and taijutsu will improve by leaps and bounds. The weaker the chakra was before awakening, the more obvious the progress will be!
If it were just about "awakening the Sharingan at the age of twelve," Sarutobi wouldn't care too much.
but……
This is a loyal and devoted Uchiha!
This is a golden opportunity. Once the Uchiha clan finds out what just happened, they will definitely choose to train him within the clan and send him through the internal promotion route of the police force. They won't release him easily.
Therefore, Sarutobi made a decisive move, having Jiraiya "snatch" the person away—given Jiraiya's status, the Uchiha clan couldn't object to him serving as a Jonin instructor...
However, Jiraiya only understood these parts.
With three spots available, plus one Uchiha, we have to reduce the number by one...
Jiraiya came for Minato Namikaze, that can't be omitted, but... the Second Hokage's granddaughter, that can't be omitted either, right? Sarutobi-sensei, it seems you'll have to show some noble character...
Therefore, Jiraiya abandoned Sarutobi's son.
After Jiraiya finished reciting the three names, he glanced at Sarutobi-sensei out of the corner of his eye and noticed that although Sarutobi-sensei glared at him, he didn't say anything more.
As for Uchiha Akaishi, he was still confused—what was going on? It had been arranged beforehand that the Uchiha clan would send Jonin to "sweep" away all the Uchiha children.
How did I end up being instructed by Jiraiya for no reason?
It wasn't until Mikoto gently nudged him from behind that Akaishi realized what was happening and quickly followed after her...
