Cherreads

Chapter 38 - Chapter 38: Eye Opening!

If one were constantly made to feel the process of chakra nature generation, it would definitely accelerate their personal understanding of that chakra nature.

"Mm." Rin Nohara nodded softly.

Kiyoshi then refined his own chakra, transformed his chakra nature into Lightning Release chakra, and let it flow from his palm onto Rin Nohara's hand.

[Lightning Release: Iron Armor] involves refining chakra close to the skin. Since it is close to the circulatory system above the skin cells, it could allow Rin Nohara's hand to feel the process of some unaligned chakra transforming into Lightning Release chakra.

"Hmm..." Rin Nohara felt a slight tingling sensation in her palm, like an electric current passing through.

However, she still didn't feel any significant change.

Uchiha Compound.

Obito walked over, dragging his tired body.

"Obito, you're back so late?"

"You must be hungry. Grandma will give you a pancake." The couple who ran the Uchiha Pancake Shop greeted Obito.

Uchiha Kō handed a warm pancake, wrapped in wax paper, to Obito.

"Grandma Kō, I don't have any money." Obito quickly waved his hand.

With both parents deceased, he was being raised only by his grandmother, who was over fifty years old.

If it weren't for the indemnity money left by his parents, their financial situation would be very tight.

So Obito was usually very frugal.

"It's fine, Grandma's treat." Uchiha Kō showed a kind smile and handed the pancake to Obito.

"Thank you." Seeing he couldn't refuse, Obito accepted the pancake.

He had just returned from training outside.

He had somewhat hoped that Rin Nohara would also come to the Third Training Ground, where they usually trained, but he waited and waited in vain.

"Haha, young people nowadays are too polite." Uchiha Teuchi smiled.

"By the way, Obito, how is the new clan member doing in class? You haven't isolated him, have you?" Uchiha Teuchi asked.

He was born shortly after the Hidden Leaf was founded, during a period when the ninja clans, arriving from all corners of the land, were still integrating.

Having grown up with these experiences, Uchiha Teuchi had no prejudice against Kiyoshi being from a foreign country.

It had only been a few decades since everyone gathered to form a country and then a village.

If you thought about it, everyone was once a different kind of foreigner.

Uchiha Teuchi's question almost made Obito, who was eating the pancake, choke.

He coughed several times before saying:

"He's not being isolated at all. In fact, he's quite popular." Obito pouted.

Leaving Rin Nohara aside, even that Kurenai Yūhi was constantly looking for Kiyoshi Uchiha for no reason.

And once during a class break, even the usually low-key Shizune came to ask him if Kiyoshi Uchiha was training very hard in the clan!

This really opened Obito's eyes.

Was being a foreign transfer student really that attractive?

"Haha, everyone is Uchiha, and we should be united. It's good that he's adjusting. Just now, a little girl came by and asked for his house." Uchiha Kō interjected.

Her views were similar to her husband's.

"Who was it?" Obito asked casually, having eaten half the pancake.

"A very cute little girl with purple markings on her face." Uchiha Kō said.

Obito instantly froze.

Purple markings, little girl.

Could it be Rin?

What was Rin doing looking for Kiyoshi?

Obito's brow furrowed tightly. He couldn't bother to finish the pancake and hurriedly bid farewell to the Teuchi couple, running towards Kiyoshi's house.

"Rin has never come to my house this late."

A subtle feeling of unease rose in Obito's heart, and he quickened his pace toward that direction.

The streetlights on both sides of the road had been lit, casting a dim glow.

"Do I just have no talent in this area?" Rin Nohara said, disappointed.

Even now, she hadn't felt the so-called "Lightning Release Chakra."

It seemed her wish to help Kakashi was going to be in vain.

"It's okay. If once doesn't work, try a second time. Next time, let's try increasing the contact area." Kiyoshi reassured her, continuing to hold Rin Nohara's hand.

Rin Nohara subtly bit her lower lip but did not object.

Just as they were about to proceed with Kiyoshi's suggestion to increase the contact area, a voice suddenly exclaimed in shock.

"Kiyoshi Uchiha, what are you doing!"

Obito burst in.

His face was filled with disbelief.

He climbed over Kiyoshi's simple yard wall and looked through the slid-open paper door inside. He couldn't believe his eyes: Kiyoshi Uchiha was holding Rin Nohara's hand.

His body was also leaning forward. Obito had no idea what he would do next.

"Obito, why are you at Kiyoshi's house?" Rin Nohara was startled by Obito's sudden appearance.

"Rin, I knew this Kiyoshi guy wasn't up to any good! Was he just trying to assault you?" The thought immediately enraged Obito.

Rin's soft, fragrant little hand was something he hadn't even held before.

Yet this Kiyoshi guy got there first.

"You misunderstood, Obito." Kiyoshi pulled his hand back, stopping the chakra nature transformation.

The faint, stimulating electric sensation around Rin Nohara's skin gradually subsided.

"Obito, I recall the outer gate was closed, wasn't it?" Rin Nohara frowned tightly.

Although Obito was always mischievous, she had always tolerated it.

But this was going too far, he was acting like a child who would never grow up.

His character was more immature and self-centered than his peers.

"No... Rin, I did this for you!" Obito heard the slightly scolding tone in Rin Nohara's voice. He didn't know why Rin Nohara seemed unhappy.

But he didn't want Rin Nohara to dislike him, so he quickly explained.

If he hadn't heard Grandma Kō say that Rin was likely at Kiyoshi's, he might never have come to Kiyoshi Uchiha's house in his life.

"For me?" Rin Nohara felt exhausted.

She was already worried about Kakashi and the lack of progress in learning Lightning Release was at zero.

A layer of pressure covered her heart.

And now Obito was acting so irresponsible.

"I apologize for wasting your time, Kiyoshi-kun." Rin Nohara apologized.

"It's nothing. Rin Nohara-kun also taught me many things, didn't you?" Kiyoshi smiled.

Looking at Obito desperately trying to explain and Rin Nohara's exhausted expression.

He felt... excitement!

The inner room had no lights turned on.

There were only a few faint beams of light projected from outside.

Shadows veiled Kiyoshi's face.

The world before him, previously dimmed, was coated in a layer of red.

A surge of heat began to swirl.

This feeling was more unique than the first time his eye opened.

Because only when both Sharingan are present will the dōjutsu truly unleash its full ability.

It was like a beam of light suddenly being born in a long-dormant darkness, tearing apart the night.

Once the red veil receded, Kiyoshi saw a world more real than ever before.

His dōjutsu power rapidly increased.

This was no longer the "Single Eye" Sharingan, this time, it was the "Dual Eye" Sharingan!

Kiyoshi's world had changed.

Distant scenes were no longer blurry. The details hidden in the darkness had nowhere to hide from his eyes.
