Chapter 46: Opened his eyes?
"Of course I like the handsome ones!" Ino replied without thinking.
Jiraiya really wanted to say that he was handsome too, but Ino didn't give him a chance. Pointing at Sasuke's cover photo, she said, "Look at Sasuke! Rosy lips, pearly white teeth. And you, old man? You've got red paint on your face and white hair, you think that's the same? And look at Sasuke's eyes, they're like bright stars! Yours? They just look creepy, yuck. Sasuke's family has a big house, what about you? A fifty-year-old woman needs security! You don't have anything!"
She made Jiraiya want to bang his head against the wall. The paint on his face was his trademark, his white hair was natural, and as for his eyes? Could he compare his eyes to the Uchiha clan's? The house issue was actually easy to solve, he had money, but the essence of the problem was that he didn't want to stay in Konoha.
Compared like this, it seemed like he was completely defeated.
Ino ignored him, knowing not to overdo it, and paid for a copy of "Sasuke's Youth Story."
Waving to the dejected Jiraiya, she walked out of the bookstore with the book in hand.
As she walked, she flipped through it.
The literacy rate in this world was very low. People who could read and had money to buy books were basically all in the prosperous areas of the major nations. Shueisha was preparing to push this book worldwide.
But in the end, they played it safe. The title was "Sasuke's Youth Story" instead of "Uchiha Sasuke's Youth Story." They only said the first name, not the surname, leaving some room for maneuver.
You say your name is Sasuke, so we must be talking about you? A joke! There are many people named Sasuke these days! The Third Hokage's father was named Sasuke, have you seen that old man who died decades ago come out to object? You say this is your photo? There are many people who look exactly alike.
Shueisha also had experts, such as... Jiraiya! They didn't want anyone to cause trouble, but they weren't afraid of trouble.
Ino casually flipped through the contents, satisfied with the removal of "Materials provided by the Association for the Protection, Care, and Guardianship of Uchiha Sasuke" on the cover, and the emphasis on "Written by the great writer Haruno Sakura."
As long as one wasn't blind, they would know who this "Haruno Sakura" was through some descriptions of her appearance. This wasn't a big deal, after all, there were only a few love-struck girls these days. But if it spread, and accumulated over time, the blame on her wouldn't be small.
Ino walked for about ten minutes before Jiraiya recovered. His lecherous heart started to stir again. Since women all liked Sasuke's face, he could naturally use it too. Just consider it a reward for accompanying Sasuke to open his eyes these days!
No sooner said than done.
Half an hour later.
"Hahahaha—I, Uchiha Sasuke, am Konoha's number one genius! Let me tell you a story." Jiraiya used the Transformation Technique to turn into Sasuke, surrounded by women in a tavern, occasionally telling dirty jokes, causing the two scantily clad women beside him to giggle.
At the same time.
"Hahahaha—I, the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku, am a famous writer! Pretty little sister, let me tell you a joke..." Ino used the Transformation Technique to turn into Jiraiya, drinking with two women with explosive figures in another tavern.
After finishing her drink, Ino saw the energy slowly increasing in the black pot and was very satisfied. She had developed another "resource point" that could provide energy in the long term. However, this pot could only be used while Jiraiya was in the village. If he left Konoha, it would be easy for her to get caught.
The alcohol content wasn't high. Ino bid farewell to the two beautiful ladies, left the tavern, and returned to her original appearance.
She strolled to the academy. There were less than three weeks left before the graduation exam. In order to maintain her position as the top student in the grade, she still needed to work hard. When she arrived at the academy, she was surprised to find that Sasuke hadn't come to school these days.
No way? Could it be that he couldn't stand the stimulation and defected early? Where could he escape to?
Shikamaru and chubby Choji hadn't arrived yet, so she asked Hinata.
Hinata whispered, "I heard... I heard that Sasuke-kun was seriously injured, and the village sent Jonin to help him heal."
Hinata, like a puppy, sniffed her collar with her nose: "...Ino, did you go drinking?"
"No, no! What nonsense are you talking about... Don't talk nonsense, I'll take you with me next time!"
After covering up the drinking incident, Ino started to think about Sasuke. Seriously injured? How serious? Was he dying?
When she fought Sasuke before, she felt a chakra that seemed to be Indra's. This chakra also took the opportunity to swallow and assimilate part of her chakra, but she couldn't sense this chakra in the hospital. At that time, she thought it was fine, but now it seemed... things weren't over yet?
"Ouch! Damn it... Is Konoha cursed? I was fine outside, why do I faint when I come back?" The next day, Ino went through another struggle with the blanket, relying on tremendous willpower to finally climb out of the seal.
She felt like she had another dream. She still couldn't remember the content of this dream. Although it wasn't displayed on the panel, she felt that her Yin Release level had improved a lot. Originally, it was only at the Chunin level, second-level Yin Release, but now it was not far from the third-level Yin Release, which was equivalent to the Tokubetsu Jonin level.
Was her body so talented in Yin Release? If her Yin Release improved quickly, she might be able to try making friends with the God of Death using the Mind Transfer Jutsu during the Konoha Crush...
Ino had now mastered the Shadow Clone Jutsu. Considering that she didn't have much chakra, she created two clones. One practiced hand seals, and the other practiced Earth Release chakra nature transformation. Earth Release had many uses. If she couldn't defeat the enemy, she could just burrow into the ground. This was also a way to escape.
Her main body continued to go to school and cause trouble by the way.
As soon as Ino arrived at school, she found that Sasuke had actually appeared in class today.
If one word were used to describe Sasuke at this time, it would be calm.
He sat quietly in his seat, his eyes looking straight ahead, ignoring the girls who tried to strike up conversations or ask him riddles. His expression was very calm, as if he had become the school idol again.
"Hey, what do you think is going on with him?" Ino asked Shikamaru.
Shikamaru didn't even raise his head from the table. "You're a Sensory ninja, if you don't know, how would I know?"
Ino shook her head. "Do you think he has opened his Sharingan?"
Shikamaru said slowly, "Then ask Hinata to take a look for you."
Ino simply ignored him. What a bad idea!
The Byakugan's ability to see through things is so strong that it doesn't matter whether you're wearing clothes or not. Unless there are special circumstances, your clan wouldn't casually activate the Byakugan in the village.
"You're so narrow-minded, they're all classmates, not enemies..." Shikamaru muttered.
