Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

With Shūzawa's manipulations, coupled with his preconceived notions, and Itachi Uchiha's concealment of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

This prevented Hiruzen Sarutobi from viewing Itachi Uchiha through the lens of 'one of our own,' and with Konoha's destruction, he was more inclined to believe Shūzawa's words!

"My eyes?"

Sasuke's eyes widened, his face growing paler and more unsightly at that moment, while Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, his expression also grim.

"It's highly likely he sought out certain individuals, expressing his hope for your survival, which led someone to use their influence to ensure you all remained at the academy.

You witnessed everything, perhaps capable of awakening a new pair of eyes; that was his objective, and as the last of the Uchiha bloodline, Konoha must protect you at all costs.

He likely dared to be so reckless precisely because he grasped this point; truly an insidious fellow."

In truth, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew he shouldn't have said so much, but the more he pondered, the more he felt it was the reality.

After all, Itachi Uchiha had never mentioned the Mangekyō Sharingan to him, nor even to Danzō, and he hadn't spoken of anything regarding the Akatsuki organization!

At this thought, Hiruzen Sarutobi could barely maintain his composure; he truly realized the situation was even more outrageous and troublesome than he'd imagined.

"So, that's how it is..."

Sasuke's eyes were already wide, never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that Itachi Uchiha would commit such an act for such a reason?!

He slumped onto the hospital bed, his face dull and unsightly, consumed by negative emotions like dejection and gloom, curled into a ball, silent and unmoving.

But the hatred within his heart erupted fiercely at that moment; for the first time, he loathed someone so intensely, so desperately wanting to kill them!

"Don't overthink it, Sasuke."

With a soft sigh, Hiruzen Sarutobi gathered his thoughts and turned to look at Sasuke, speaking with utmost sincerity after a moment of silence.

"Regardless of Itachi Uchiha's intentions, or who he may be allied with, his goals will never be achieved.

We will protect your safety, and Konoha will always be your home!"

After saying these words, Hiruzen Sarutobi gently stroked Sasuke's head before turning to leave.

However, as he departed, he didn't forget to instruct the medical staff present, now truly grateful for one thing.

Fortunately, he had removed Danzō from his position; otherwise, given Danzō's nature, Uchiha Sasuke would have hardly survived tonight!

"I must have Shūzawa reorganize Root as soon as possible; Danzō, what troubles have you caused me..."

"This is..."

Sitting before the vanity, Shūzawa looked at himself in the mirror, his expression unusually strange at this moment.

"Is this the so-called 'major aberration'?"

The previous collapse of his body could be described as agonizing to the extreme.

However, the subsequent reorganization allowed him to experience something different.

This reorganization process was complex yet precise, and with it, he seemed to perceive many different things!

"My sensory perception has become stronger."

Shūzawa's sensory perception wasn't weak before, but compared to a freak like Karin, the difference was obvious.

He could perceive the situation within a few hundred meters, and after activating Sage Mode, the range would be even wider.

But compared to Karin's 'Kagura Shingan,' which could reach several kilometers or even tens of kilometers, there was no comparison.

But now, Shūzawa discovered that even without using Sage Mode, his sensory range had expanded by an unknown amount!

Previously, it was sensory perception within a few hundred meters, but now it had increased to several kilometers, a tenfold difference.

Moreover, if he narrowed the distance and perceived a person more closely, he seemed to easily discern their every movement!

This wasn't a feeling, but something obtained through sensory perception.

Whether it was their heartbeat, blood flow, breathing, sweat flow, or the strength and changes in their punches.

He seemed to be able to investigate all of this through his extreme sensory perception!

"How does this feel like I obtained a Sharingan?"

Shūzawa's eyes hadn't changed, but that wasn't surprising; he had long severed the possibility of his eyes mutating.

However, the fact that his sensory perception had improved to this extent truly made him feel incredulous.

The Sharingan is the 'Eye of Insight,' capable of discovering many details through observation.

And Shūzawa was directly 'observing the mind'; as long as he investigated through extreme sensory perception, he could instantly perceive many situations!

"This improvement is truly incredible, but my changes aren't limited to this."

The improvement in perception was only a part of it; his other changes were equally significant!

His speed, strength, and other aspects had even more exaggerated enhancements than before, especially his recovery ability, which was simply unparalleled!

The pain Shūzawa had just experienced was unimaginable; his body collapsed, his chakra collapsed, and his entire body was frantically reorganizing.

But now, he could already sit up and observe the changes in himself, a situation that would have terrified others!

"And the most interesting thing is that the effect of this bloodline aberration is actually reflected here."

Shūzawa raised his hand with a wry smile, without any other unnecessary chakra manipulation.

With just a slight thought in his mind, a fire-style aura accompanied by a violent Rasengan had already appeared in his hand!

Moreover, these two forces were perfectly integrated, and terrifying power constantly emanated from the room.

The entire room seemed to tremble slightly, and ashes fell from the ceiling, but they were blown away before they touched Shūzawa's body!

"More precise chakra control, and greater power...?"

Shūzawa could feel that his control over chakra seemed to have a new improvement.

Although adding points to chakra had already steadily increased his control, chakra utilization rate, and power.

The points provided would combine with his own abilities, which could bring different and more powerful effects.

This was one of the charms of being a numerical monster; ability enhancements could also be linked to oneself, and the increase in strength far exceeded others' imaginations!

And now, his body has improved even further, reaching a point that even he doesn't know how to describe.

Combined with the points he had already allocated, he found that everything seemed to become even more interesting.

Hand seals seemed to have become a thing of the past for him; he didn't need to consider them at all.

His affinity for any chakra nature seemed to have greatly increased; he could use any of them as long as he wanted to!

Moreover, it wasn't just using them, but also the added 'numerical' bonus; he felt like he had truly stepped into a brand new world.

"Is this a complete numerical monster? I'm getting more and more of an Otsutsuki vibe."

The Otsutsuki clan's utilization of chakra is definitely the strongest in the entire world, and their physical qualities are absolutely beyond anyone's imagination.

Even without considering the power of the God Tree fruit, they could crush almost everyone solely based on their chakra utilization and their unbelievably powerful bodies!

He now felt like he was heading in that direction. He had been wondering what level his constant point allocation would lead him to.

And now, he seemed to have really found the answer, and through constant point allocation and 'bloodline mutation' to his current state, he finally felt something different!

"Especially, I seem to feel that my vitality has also become more vigorous, and the 'fire of life' within my body seems to be burning even more intensely."

Shūzé silently sensed everything, and he seemed to have a kind of illusion of Naruto sensing the 'fire of life' of the dying Guy.

He could perceive that there really seemed to be a flame at his heart, and he could use the power of Yang Release to keep it burning continuously!

He didn't know if this was an illusion, nor did he know how long this burning would last.

However, he casually dispersed the power in his hand, as he felt that Tsunade had returned.

"I need to explain things properly, especially..."

Carefully looking at himself in the mirror, Shūzé's expression became even stranger.

"This change seems to have gone too far in some respects..."

Just then, his door was pushed open again!

"What are you doing, using such strong chakra at home? Are you trying to tear the house down?"

Tsunade's grumbling voice rang out, but when she took a closer look at Shūzé, she suddenly froze.

"What's wrong with you? Why have you suddenly become so pale?"

"..."

Chapter 130: World-Renowned or Universally Hated, Stop Calling Me Senior

"I never thought that you would become like this after just going out for a trip and coming back?"

It was night, and the moon and stars were sparse.

When Yūgao and Shizune returned with Hikari, looking at Shūzé at this time, as well as Tsunade with a dazed face, Yūgao's face was full of strangeness.

Shūzé really had undergone a huge change at this time, and his skin suddenly became very fair for some reason.

This fairness was not to the point of being inhuman like Orochimaru and those Otsutsuki in Shūzé's memory, but it was definitely to the extent that any woman would take notice!

Moreover, this fairness did not make Shūzé lose his previous heroic spirit, but instead added a bit of unique temperament.

It even had a taste of a 'person in a painting'!

Especially since Shūzé seemed to be more in tune with nature at this moment, and every move seemed to make people feel refreshed, such a change really made people feel confused.

"What on earth is going on?"

"Um, this is considered an evolution of the bloodline."

Shūzé looked at the gazes of the three, and glanced at Tsunade who was in a daze, and he had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and explain again.

When Tsunade came back, he had already given an explanation once, but unfortunately, his words seemed to have scared Tsunade, and she had not recovered yet.

"In short, it is that the power of my bloodline limit has been improved once again, thereby driving the enhancement of the bloodline, and then my body has a natural reaction."

"Bloodline ability enhanced?"

"Natural reaction?"

Yūgao and Shizune looked at Shūzé in disbelief. It was the first time they had heard of such a statement.

Even Hikari was also confused at this time. She had fought with the Senju clan for so many years, so why hadn't she ever seen it before?

"Actually, there is no need to be curious. Simply put, the definiteness of the Senju clan's bloodline improvement is not as good as the Uchiha, but it does not mean that it does not exist."

Shūzé touched his chin. He knew that he was going to make up a story again. Fortunately, there was a very good story case in front of him, and he could use it completely.

"Hikari, the improvement of your Sharingan is more obvious, from one tomoe to three tomoe, and then to the legendary Mangekyō, each improvement will have a significant change.

But the situation on the Senju side is very different. Simply put, it is impossible to see any major differences, but the improvements that should be available are still available.

Otherwise, the Senju would not have been able to fight the Uchiha for so many years. The gap in basic abilities would have caused the Senju clan to fail long ago."

"They couldn't beat them anyway, otherwise the Senju wouldn't have looked for so many helpers."

However, what Shūzé didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, Hikari retorted unceremoniously.

This almost made Shūzé roll his eyes, but he couldn't refute it, because the Senju, apart from their strength, were not weak.

What they are best at is calling for people.

"Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up..."

Shūzé glared at Hikari, but his peripheral vision was always observing Tsunade.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that Tsunade was not moving.

"So my situation is not uncommon, so everyone should stop discussing it."

"Not uncommon?"

Tsunade had recovered at this time. She looked at Shūzé in disbelief, and her mouth was a little bitter.

"I really didn't expect your situation. Perhaps it was never mentioned in the book, but you are too outrageous..."

Tsunade was a little speechless. She really felt that Shūzé was too outrageous.

Bloodline improvement, how did Shūzé do this kind of thing that ordinary people can hardly do?

This question has been lingering in her mind, especially since she also discovered a more crucial thing.

Shūzé's temperament seems to be getting closer and closer to her great-grandfather!
