Chapter 419: When I Open Both Eyes
Three years later.
"Witnessed and significantly altered the main plot of the Naruto world: Naruto Uzumaki graduating from the Ninja Academy, obtained 20 (*5) Witness Points."
In the Eight Trigrams Space, Masahiko narrowed his eyes, a smile on his face: "Finally got it."
Naruto's graduation exam ended yesterday. The subject was the Clone Jutsu, which was a breeze for the current Naruto. He aced the exam and successfully obtained his forehead protector. The incident of stealing the 'Scroll of Seals' could not happen.
However, Masahiko observed the whole process but surprisingly didn't get the Witness Points... Fortunately, the holding of this 'Graduate Orientation' at the Ninja Academy today allowed the system to judge that Naruto had successfully graduated.
Beside Masahiko, a crisp girl's voice rang out: "Brother looks so ugly wearing that ninja forehead protector, and his smile is so silly!"
Masahiko turned his body and looked at a delicately carved little girl beside him. The girl was about four or five years old, with long dark red hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall. She was wearing a purplish-red cheongsam, and her cheeks were rosy with a bit of baby fat; anyone who saw her would want to pinch them...
So Masahiko pinched her little cheek: "Tsukika is right!"
Tsukika stepped back two paces, escaping Masahiko's 'demonic claws', acting like a little adult: "Great Ancestor, don't keep pinching my face, it'll get fat."
Seeing Masahiko's large hand reaching out again, Tsukika hurriedly pointed behind him: "Great Ancestor, look, the orientation is starting!"
Masahiko laughed and shook his head. His eyes, which were already narrowed into slits, squeezed together, almost completely closing...
The orientation had indeed begun. Iruka stood on the podium, blathering away.
The general idea was that although these children had successfully graduated, they were still just novice Genin. They would be divided into three-man squads and carry out missions under the leadership of a Jonin to accumulate experience.
After thoroughly whetting the children's appetites, Iruka finally began reading the squad assignments.
"Great Ancestor, who will brother be grouped with?" Tsukika asked softly.
Masahiko chuckled: "With the two people he likes. Cough! No!"
"Likes? Big Sister Sakura and... who else?"
Iruka happened to be reading Team 7: "Naruto Uzumaki! Sakura Haruno! Sasuke Uchiha!"
"Eh? Brother likes Big Brother Sasuke?"
Masahiko was completely speechless. He had accidentally slipped up in front of Tsukika; could he salvage it?
As Iruka finished reading the assignments, the classroom gradually exploded into an uproar. Some were delighted, and some were dissatisfied—like Naruto.
"Iruka-sensei, why am I grouped with that bastard Sasuke!"
Facing Naruto's questioning, Iruka raised his voice: "Every squad was personally assigned by Lord Fifth Hokage, and it cannot be changed!"
Actually, this was Masahiko's doing. If the addition of people like Toneri, who didn't exist in the original story, caused the team assignments to become a mess, it would not only be a headache but also cost him Witness Points...
Speaking of Toneri, his pursuit of Hinata had never succeeded. Masahiko originally planned to let him return to the Land of Whirlpools after he graduated, but Toneri still hadn't given up, and Masahiko didn't stop him... It looked like there wasn't much hope.
Outside, with Iruka's "Arrive at the classroom on time this afternoon, I'll introduce your Jonin instructors," the Graduate Orientation ended.
Masahiko, however, frowned slightly: "Why does it feel like I forgot something?"
Beside him, Tsukika tugged at Masahiko's sleeve: "Great Ancestor, brother and Big Brother Sasuke are arguing again!"
Naruto and Sasuke had once again started their familiar 'idiot/bastard' shouting match, warning each other 'not to hold them back'. Sakura sat next to them, but instead of immediately 'pulling a biased fight', she looked as if she was weighed down by a heavy heart.
After all, unlike the original story, besides Toneri and Sasuke, no one in the class could beat Naruto, and the gap was not small. Although Sakura was happy to be grouped with Sasuke, she also felt a lot of pressure... she knew the one holding them back would probably be her.
Masahiko pondered for a moment, suddenly turned his head, and covered Tsukika's big eyes with one hand.
"Great Ancestor, what's wrong?"
"You can't watch the next scene."
Masahiko gently lifted his right foot, took aim, and kicked the Naruto outside right on the butt, and then...
"Witnessed and slightly altered the Naruto world side plot: Naruto and Sasuke's first kiss, obtained 5 (*2) Witness Points."
"Even a mosquito's leg is meat, very comfortable."
"Great Ancestor!" Tsukika kept batting at Masahiko's hand, wanting to see what happened.
Sakura couldn't see Masahiko's foot. She only saw Naruto and Sasuke arguing, and then Naruto suddenly lunged forward, pinned Sasuke to the ground, and planted a kiss right on his lips...
Whether she would hold them back or not was a matter for later. Right now... she was going to slaughter Naruto!
Masahiko smiled: "Tsukika, you can't watch the scenes after this either. Let's go!"
...
Kushina's house.
Little Tsukika was full of curiosity: "Great Ancestor, what exactly happened afterward?"
Kushina spoke from the side: "Great-grandfather, did Naruto cause trouble again?"
Masahiko shook his head: "No, it's just that Tsukika is still young, there are some things she shouldn't see."
Tsukika puffed out her little cheeks: "My eyes are this big and I can't see? Great Ancestor's eyes are so small..."
Masahiko's face darkened: "Great Ancestor's eyes used to be very big too, no smaller than yours!"
Kushina chuckled: "Great-grandfather, you've been squinting for three years now, when will you be able to open them?"
Masahiko put on a deep expression: "When I open my eyes, this world will become different."
Kushina shook her head wordlessly, only to hear Masahiko continue: "It seems I can open one now."
"Open one?" Kushina was startled.
As soon as he finished speaking, Masahiko suddenly opened his right eye, revealing a pale cyan rippled pupil. In the center of the pupil, six black tomoe were evenly distributed.
Then, Masahiko blinked his right eye lightly, and when he opened it again, it had returned to a normal black pupil: "Finally finished nourishing one eye!"
Right Eye: Six-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan (Max Level)
(10000000/10000000)
Left Eye: Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan
(1234567/2000000)
Three years ago, after transplanting the eyes, Masahiko found that he could indeed use his physique and chakra to nourish the eyes, but the further he went, the slower the speed became. After nourishing both eyes into Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, he had a thought and tried shifting the focus of nourishment to just one eye, and the speed naturally doubled.
Not only that, he also used Witness Points to level up his medical ninjutsu to level nine, gaining stronger chakra control, which further accelerated the eye nourishment speed. In passing, he completely cured Kimimaro's Shikotsumyaku bloodline disease, killing two birds with one stone.
A few minutes ago, he finally finished nourishing his right eye. From now on, he could...
"Keep one eye open and one eye closed?"
"So Great Ancestor has one big eye and one small eye, how strange..."
Masahiko was speechless. He looked at Tsukika and found that she was currently keeping her little face tight, secretly laughing to herself...
"This little imp, she is exactly the same as you were when you were young, Kushina. Sigh, my left eye still cannot be opened for the time being."
While nourishing the eye, Masahiko couldn't revert it to its normal state, and the scarlet Mangekyou Sharingan looked quite scary. Masahiko had also gotten used to moving around with his eyes narrowed, feeling quite cool...
"When I open both my eyes, I'll even be able to fight a resurrected Kaguya..."
