"Haha... Hahahaha!"
Unrestrained wild laughter broke through his throat; he jumped in place like a child, waving his hands haphazardly, feeling the complete world he had never experienced before.
The laughter stopped.
He suddenly turned around and rushed in front of Aokawa.
With a "thud," he dropped to one knee, his head buried deep.
The movement was exactly the same as Hyuga Go's posture just now.
"Aokawa-sama! I, Hyuga Shin, am willing to die for you!"
Hyuga Ryosuke watched from the side, his eyebrows twitching.
Another one.
Isn't it just that his vision was restored? Is it really that exaggerated?
He muttered to himself.
Next was Hyuga Kamon.
This honest and straightforward youth, who advocated the Gentle Fist, could hardly wait to lie down.
The surgical process was equally smooth.
After it ended, Hyuga Kamon didn't laugh wildly like the previous two, but he raised his head, closed his eyes, and let out a long, hearty breath of turbid air.
That sigh seemed to exhale all the frustration and resentment of the past ten-plus years.
Immediately, he also walked over to Aokawa, following the example of the previous two, and knelt on one knee.
"Aokawa-sama!"
Hyuga Ryosuke looked at the third companion to kneel, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Fine.
Another one's gone crazy.
Although he didn't say it out loud, he was complaining in his heart.
But his heart began to throb uncontrollably, and his blood flow accelerated.
That irrepressible expectation was almost overflowing from his chest.
"It's my turn."
He took a deep breath and took the initiative to lie down on the wooden board that had witnessed three "Freshman."
When the cold Chakra probed into his neck, Hyuga Ryosuke's body subconsciously tensed up.
Even with the successful cases of the previous three, when that invisible blade fell on him, instinctive fear still existed.
Sharp pain came.
He let out a muffled groan, cold sweat seeping from his forehead.
Immediately following that, a gentle warm current poured in, repairing the wound and smoothing the pain.
"It's done."
Aokawa's voice sounded.
Hyuga Ryosuke snapped his eyes open and leaped up from the wooden board.
Byakugan, full release!
Buzz!
In an instant, all his previous calmness, all his complaints, and all his feigned composure vanished into thin air.
He stood there, dazed.
Only a blank space remained in his mind.
It was a feeling that could not be described in words.
If the previous world was viewed through a layer of frosted glass, then now, this layer of glass was completely shattered.
The entire world, from a blurry, flawed scroll, instantly leaped to a level of minute detail and reality that made one tremble!
The flow of Chakra, the trajectory of dust in the air, every subtle muscle tremor on his companions... everything poured into his perception with unprecedented clarity!
How was this just one more degree of vision?
This was a leap in the level of life itself!
It was the freedom that the Soul cheered for after breaking free from the Bloodline shackles!
"Holy crap!"
"Holy crap!"
Hyuga Ryosuke's heart surged with excitement, and the blood throughout his body was boiling and burning!
The next second.
Under the dumbfounded gazes of Hyuga Go, Hyuga Shin, and Hyuga Kamon.
Hyuga Ryosuke suddenly lunged forward and rushed in front of Aokawa.
"Godfather!"
"Let me kneel for you!"
"Thud!"
Hyuga Ryosuke's knees slammed heavily onto the ground with a loud sound.
"Godfather above, please accept your child's bow!"
His face was flushed, his eyes fanatical, and his excitement was more exaggerated than the previous three combined.
Hyuga Go, Hyuga Shin, and Hyuga Kamon were all stunned.
You can do that?
Did we kneel too early?
Aokawa's mouth twitched.
He looked at this "filial son" in front of him, who couldn't wait to bow down, and for a moment didn't know how to respond.
This kid is being a bit too dramatic.
He raised his hand, and a gentle wave of Chakra lifted Hyuga Ryosuke up.
"Alright, stop acting like a clown."
"How do you feel?"
Hyuga Ryosuke stood firm and nodded vigorously, his voice still carrying a hint of a tremor.
"Better than ever!"
"It feels like the whole world is different!"
"I can see... I can see the trajectory of Chakra flowing in the air!"
He gestured excitedly, like a child who had received a new toy.
Aokawa looked at the flames that seemed to be burning in the eyes of the four of them and spoke calmly.
"Very good."
"Now that the surgeries are complete, it's time to talk about the next steps."
His voice wasn't loud, but it caused the Barracks to fall silent instantly.
The four of them immediately reined in their emotions, stood up straight, and looked at him with focused gazes.
They knew the real business had arrived.
"First, the fact that your vision has been restored must absolutely not be exposed."
"To the outside world, your strength has not changed at all."
"Second, those few guys who were present today, I will send Shadow Clones to give them a warning to ensure they don't dare speak out."
Aokawa paused, his gaze sweeping over Hyuga Go and Hyuga Shin.
"As for Hyuga Zetsu..."
The two brothers' breathing hitched slightly.
"The two of you will stay by his side starting tomorrow."
"Remember, your mission is not to torture him, but to monitor him."
"He is the most important nail we have planted in the Main House."
"His mental state, his words and deeds, every person he comes into contact with—you must record everything in detail and report to me regularly."
Aokawa's voice was cold, as if he were discussing a tool rather than a living person.
"I want him to stay alive, and to stay alive consciously."
"Let him relay all the movements within the Main House to us."
"The more people like him there are in the Main House, and the greater the resentment in the Branch House, the greater our power will be."
"Do you understand?"
"Yes! Aokawa-sama!" The two of them responded in unison, their voices resonant... One month later.
Aokawa stood alone on top of a giant tree, eyes closed, seemingly sensing something.
After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and raised his right hand.
Buzz!
In the air, countless faint blue light spots appeared out of thin air, converging frantically toward his palm.
In the blink of an eye, a deep blue longbow composed of high-density spirit particles took shape in his hand.
The bow body emitted a soft glow, yet contained terrifying energy sufficient to destroy everything.
His left hand pulled the empty bowstring, and a Chakra Arrow, also composed of spirit particles, was instantly notched.
No aiming.
He let go.
Whoosh!
A faint sound of breaking air rang out, and the spirit particles Chakra Arrow turned into a streak of light, disappearing into the depths of the forest.
One second later.
A thousand meters away, a giant rock several meters high, without any warning, had a circular hole blasted through its center, with countless fragments shooting in all directions.
Aokawa looked at his hand and tried raising the Spirit Bow toward the sky.
"Rain of Light."
Countless tiny spirit particles Chakra Arrows were generated on the bowstring, like a swarm of bees ready to strike.
However, at the very moment he was about to release, the sky full of arrows seemed to lose support; they flickered slightly in mid-air and then collapsed into the most primitive spirit particles light spots, dissipating into the air.
Aokawa dispelled the Spirit Bow in his hand, his brow furrowing imperceptibly before relaxing again.
"Rain of Light is still a bit off, but single arrows shouldn't be a problem anymore."
Just as he was about to continue trying.
Woo—!
A long and urgent horn blast pierced the silence and spread throughout the entire Konoha Camp.
Emergency Assembly Order!
