Chapter 436 System Temporary Mission? S-Level Forbidden Technique - Pupil Power Conversion!
Just like Fujiwara Tetsuya had no resistance to the allure of Uchiha Mikoto and Torune Ryoui!
Torune Ryoui… facing Fujiwara Tetsuya's sweet words—uh, no, his honeyed words—also had no resistance.
In a short time, she was completely captivated, casting all her duties aside and following Fujiwara Tetsuya out of the Medical Division's administrative building, heading towards Konoha's most bustling street… Along the way, countless lovestruck maidens watched them.
"How was it, Ryoui? Are you full?"
It was evening, at the Akimichi Clan's main BBQ restaurant.
Seeing Torune Ryoui put down her chopsticks, Fujiwara Tetsuya chuckled softly and slowly sat up straight.
It was still early, with plenty of time to enjoy the nightlife… "I'm full, Tetsuya-kun. Ever since I started working in the Medical Division, I've rarely been this relaxed. Thank you, Tetsuya-kun."
"Don't work too hard. Speaking of which, the Village's higher-ups… the division of power in each department is too concentrated. While it helps maintain the Village's stability, some are worked to death, while others are idle."
"Ryoui, take better care of yourself. I don't want you to get wrinkles so early, like Advisor Torifu."
Looking across all of Konoha, those who dared to openly criticize the Village's higher-ups in public were definitely few and far between.
However, the Konoha Ninja enjoying their food at the Akimichi BBQ main restaurant, upon hearing Fujiwara Tetsuya's remarks, instinctively lowered their heads and devoured the food in front of them, as if… they hadn't heard anything at all.
"So… next up—"
Just as Fujiwara Tetsuya was about to invite Torune Ryoui to begin their nightlife, a slender figure suddenly walked in. After a quick scan, she headed straight for Fujiwara Tetsuya.
"Kazuya?"
"Are you looking for me?"
Seeing Uchiha Kazuya standing before him, Fujiwara Tetsuya's gaze paused, and he had a faint, bad premonition.
"No… it's not me, it's Mikoto. The specific details aren't convenient to discuss here."
"However, I ask that Tetsuya-sama come with me. If we delay any longer, we might truly miss it…"
"Ding! The Uchiha Clan is secretly plotting something. System temporary mission triggered!"
"Ding! Mission One: Follow Uchiha Kazuha to investigate, Mission Reward: 5000 Slaughter Points!"
"Ding! Mission Two: Eliminate all possible enemies, Mission Reward: S-rank Forbidden Technique: Eye Power Conversion (the host can plunder the Eye Power contained within the eyes of Eye Power users to strengthen their own Eye Power, unlimited times, unlimited upper limit)!"
"Ding! Mission Three: Completely crush the Uchiha Clan's conspiracy, Mission Reward: 30000 Slaughter Points, permanent 10% increase in mental power!"
The Uchiha Clan?
Listening to the prompts in his mind, a cold glint flashed in Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes.
He wouldn't mention the reward for Mission One.
But the rewards for Mission Two and Mission Three were not light.
Given the System's usual equivalence, this time… the Uchiha Clan had probably gone all out to scheme against him and Mikoto.
Especially the S-rank Forbidden Technique: Eye Power Conversion, it was practically a cheat.
"I understand."
"Ryoui, today's date will probably have to end here."
"I'll go with Kazuha to see."
"Tetsuya-kun, I'll go with you."
The astute Torune Ryoui also gleaned some information from Uchiha Kazuha's few words, and immediately stood up, grasping Fujiwara Tetsuya's right hand.
"You—"
"Never mind. Kazuha, you go out first. I'll talk to Ryoui for a moment and then I'll be right there."
Watching Uchiha Kazuya walk out of the BBQ restaurant, Fujiwara Tetsuya's gentle expression instantly fell.
"Ryoui, something might have happened to Mikoto… If I'm not mistaken, those old stubborn members of the Uchiha Clan might not be able to hold back any longer and are planning to make a move against me and Mikoto."
"Moreover, Kazuha's condition isn't right; it's highly possible she's been temporarily controlled by a powerful Uchiha Clan member using genjutsu."
"What Kazuha just mentioned is probably only half-true, just an excuse to lure me there…"
"Tetsuya-kun, if you know it's a trap, why are you still going?"
Whether as a lover or a companion!
Torune Ryoui had long understood Fujiwara Tetsuya's personality and thoughts.
Or rather, the moment Uchiha Kazuya mentioned Uchiha Mikoto, Torune Ryoui knew that this man, even if he understood it was a trap, would step into it without hesitation.
But the more so, the harder it was for her to accept.
"Ryoui, with the current information, we can't possibly deduce the Uchiha Clan's scheme."
"For Mikoto's safety, I must go on this trip…"
"Besides, how can one guard against thieves for a thousand days? Since the Uchiha Clan is restless, let's use this opportunity to resolve everything at once, to avoid future worries."
"Ryoui—"
Whispering, Fujiwara Tetsuya cupped Torune Ryoui's face with both hands, trying his best to soothe the girl's emotions.
"Ryoui, be a good girl!"
"I still need your help with two things."
"First, hurry to the clan compound and help me notify Meihua and Kyoji, telling them to be prepared tonight, in case the Uchiha Clan gets desperate, or certain forces try to fish in troubled waters."
"Second… I need you to go to the Sarutobi Clan afterward and inform Hokage-sama of these matters without any concealment, so that Hokage-sama can dispatch Anbu to wait outside the Uchiha Clan compound."
Under Fujiwara Tetsuya's soothing, Torune Ryoui's expression and emotions gradually calmed down… However, her jade-like hands were still tightly gripping Fujiwara Tetsuya's right hand.
"I… I understand! Tetsuya-kun, you must be careful."
… "Kazuha, you go ahead."
"I'm not familiar with the terrain here. If we get separated, it'll just be a waste of time."
On the outskirts of the Konoha forest.
Seeing Uchiha Kazuya rapidly rushing ahead, Fujiwara Tetsuya's crimson eyes flashed. The Three Tomoe in his eyes spun rapidly before instantly disappearing.
Although it was only for a few short seconds, it allowed him to successfully confirm Uchiha Kazuya's state… His guess was correct; Uchiha Kazuya was indeed controlled by genjutsu.
Uchiha Kazuya's appearance, and even her every word and action just now, had been pre-set by a powerful Uchiha Clan member.
Moreover, with Mikoto's perceptiveness, how could she be foolishly deceived by the Uchiha Clan's radical faction into going somewhere so far from the Village?
"Forget it… Thinking too much now is just a waste of brainpower."
"Once we get there, everything will be known."
"Uchiha Clan! I hope the pieces you've put into play aren't too weak, otherwise… it would be too boring."
As a cold laugh flashed in his heart, Fujiwara Tetsuya's speed became even faster, as if some impatience was silently urging Uchiha Kazuya to accelerate.
