In a world of utter darkness, Ino walked forward in a daze. She didn't know how long she had been walking when several fragmented lights suddenly appeared before her. Following her instincts, her consciousness walked into them, and then countless scenes flashed before her eyes like slides.
"Boss, a wandering monk has come down the mountain!"
"Lads, follow me!"
"...You killed all my brothers, and I'm about to die. Do you dare to leave your name?!"
"Hmph, an ant. What does it matter if I tell you? Let your descendants seek revenge on me. I am Jigen."
"Boss, a wandering monk has come down the mountain!"
"Lads, follow me!"
"...Master, I'm convinced! Truly convinced. Please accept me as your disciple!"
"Alright, Ninshu needs more people to spread its beliefs. My Dharma name is Six Paths. From today onwards, you are my disciple, named Yamanaka."
"Boss, a wandering monk has come down the mountain!"
"Lads, follow me! We'll do one more job, then head to Flower Valley."
"Boss, a wandering monk has come down the mountain!"
"Lads, follow me! We'll do one more job, then head to Konoha Village."
"Patriarch, a wandering monk has come down the mountain!"
"...Forget this one. This seems to be Bunpuku from Hidden Sand Village. I can't beat him."
"Patriarch, a wandering monk has come down the mountain!"
"Master Chiriku."
"Patriarch Yamanaka."
"Hokage-sama the Third Hokage would like to ask you, Master, to deliver this letter to Asuma. He has been away from the Village for far too long."
"...Alright, this humble monk will certainly deliver it."
Ino experienced countless scenes in an instant, all of which involved her blood-related ancestors. The last scene she saw was undoubtedly Inoichi.
It must be said that the Yamanaka Clan was truly a leader in the bandit world, a hereditary Bandit King!
Even more miraculously, there were monks in many of the scenes.
Did the Yamanaka Clan really like robbing monks that much?
Ino thought of the temples she had plundered when she disguised herself as Deidara. She hadn't paid much attention to it then, but now, looking back, wow, this was all the bloodline at work! The family's obsession was too deep!
Her consciousness returned to her body, and she slowly opened her eyes, seeing black tomoe appear in her scarlet eyes. First, her right eye, which had the most Dojutsu Power, then her left eye. The single tomoe in her right eye rotated half a circle, turning from one to two. Her strong right eye then activated her left eye, which had slightly less foundation, bringing both eyes to two tomoe. After that, the tomoe in her right eye remained energetic and continued to rotate.
Ino poured all her mental energy into her eyes, and finally, her right eye reached a new balance, displaying Three Tomoe.
After her left eye's Dojutsu Power reached two tomoe, it was almost exhausted. Her obsessive-compulsive disorder flared up, and despite feeling it was a bit of a loss, she activated the Yang Seal, which had been sealed for two months.
She hadn't even used this trump card when fighting Sasori, but now, without a word, she activated it directly.
Yin Style Chakra could not directly convert into Dojutsu Power, but as a large amount of Chakra flowed into her eyes, like an old man pushing a cart, the almost stagnant tomoe in her left eye rotated with difficulty by another 120 degrees, barely reaching the Three Tomoe level.
Both eyes with Three Tomoe! Her Sharingan's starting point had already reached the pinnacle for a "mortal."
A pair of scarlet eyes watched her from afar. She thought for a moment and offered no resistance, as if being pulled by an incredibly tough, thin thread. Her consciousness flew over with a "whoosh."
Sasuke, who was patrolling in the Land of Rivers, felt his vision go black and fell to the ground with a "thud."
Ino saw a tall figure in the consciousness space. This time, it was very clear: it was Indra, that stern-faced individual who probably never smiled in his life.
Indra carefully examined Ino: "Are you also a descendant of mine? Aren't you from Ashura's side?"
Being questioned to her face, Ino felt a little awkward. How should she explain?
Fortunately, her memory of watching the "movie" earlier was still fresh. The Yamanaka Clan had guarded the roads for so many years without being wiped out by various heroes, and the clan was prosperous. Through various intermarriages, they naturally came into contact with members of the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan. If she stretched it, she could establish a connection.
She said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "It's like this, senior. My family's ninth-generation patriarch during the Warring States Period, his maternal grandfather was from the Senju Clan. And my family's twenty-second-generation patriarch during the Warring States Period, his wife was from the Uchiha Clan. Although they didn't awaken the Bloodline Limit ability during their lives, I estimate that the Sharingan bloodline might be present within me."
Using a "baseless" or "possibly present" excuse to temporarily appease Indra, Ino then took out the "letter" Ashura had asked her to deliver from her Chakra. Indra's attention was indeed diverted. After reading the "letter," he cursed like a child, then "wrote" a reply and asked her to give it back to Ashura.
Having fooled Indra, Ino decisively took her leave. Since you didn't say anything this time, would you still have the nerve to say something next time? The matter was now over.
There are always exceptions to everything. Since my bloodline has reverted, you can't say anything about it either.
Indra genuinely didn't care about this either.
He cared about his son, and he cared about his grandson, but after that? After five generations, ten generations, would he still care?
Over a thousand years had passed, and he had far too many blood descendants. Now, one more or one less was truly insignificant.
Sasuke in the Land of Rivers hadn't fully fallen before he regained consciousness. He used his waist and legs to stand back up. Rubbing his forehead, he wondered, how many times had this happened already?! Is this never going to end?
Ino in Konoha Village looked into the distance with her eyes, and for a moment, the world seemed to transform before her.
The Sharingan possesses numerous functions: observation, copying, hypnosis, casting and breaking Genjutsu, and copying all non-Bloodline Limit Ninjutsu and Taijutsu.
Ino threw a specially made Flying Thunder God Kunai with her own jutsu formula high up. With a flicker of her body, she caught the Kunai in mid-air. After landing, she quickly turned around and threw it at the wall again, her eyes locked on the target. Seeing the spatial-temporal rift, she directly shortened the distance between the two points, grabbing the hilt just before the Kunai was about to pierce the wall.
Her current use of Flying Thunder God was already comparable to Kakashi's, both having a delay of about 1 second. This was the result of a combination of factors such as physique, reaction speed, and brain analysis and processing capabilities.
Kakashi usually wouldn't activate his Mangekyo. A single Three Tomoe eye was ultimately not as good as two, and it wasn't even his eye, so he had to cover it from time to time, making the eye's assistance relatively minor. However, Kakashi's physical fitness was indeed stronger than Ino's.
Without activating her Sharingan, Ino's neural reaction delay and dizziness after spatial teleportation would be 2 seconds, occasionally reaching 1.9 or 1.8 seconds. Now it was stable at 1 second. Tsunade, relying on her powerful physique, wouldn't get dizzy and could bring the delay to under 1 second. Minato Namikaze also wouldn't get dizzy, and his delay was basically 0.1 or 0.2 seconds.
It doesn't seem like much, but in reality, it's a difference of ten or more times.
