Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#376 - The Eye of Truth

On the way back to Konoha, Liang Yue strolled along, lost in thought as he recalled the upcoming plot developments.

Little King Kong in his arms, however, couldn't stay put. With a few quick scrambles, it scurried from his chest to his shoulder, one hand holding onto his ear, the other shielding its eyes as it looked around.

It would occasionally bare its teeth and squeak, appearing restless and agitated.

However, Liang Yue was used to this and slowly soothed it through their mental connection. At the same time, he flipped his hand, retrieving a large pitaya from the stronghold world.

He had only just peeled back a section of the fruit skin when Little King Kong bit into it.

Instantly, juice splattered everywhere, and a faint, pleasant fragrance and sweetness began to spread around.

Clearly, this was no ordinary fruit. Although its appearance was no different from a pitaya in reality, its juice and flesh contained a significant amount of vitality.

This was a fruit from a special low-magic game world, which could be eaten directly or made into various culinary products to replenish health points.

The reason Liang Yue took out this fruit at this time was naturally because, after the previous battle and the successive slaying of the Six Paths puppets, his Wind Phantom Dragon's growth panel had accumulated enough experience points!

As a special product of the Don't Starve game world system, even after undergoing system modifications, if he wanted to successfully level up, he still had to follow some of the game's characteristic opportunities.

Eating pitaya to level up was a setting exclusive to the Wind Phantom Dragon…

"Finally reached level five… It is said that Rachel and Nana both comprehended a skill called 'Eye of Truth' after reaching this stage."

"I wonder if this talent ability originating from the Western Fantasy dragons will produce any other reactions with the Hyuga Byakugan."

Handing the fruit in his hand to Little King Kong, Liang Yue then took out another one.

Looking at the fresh and tender flesh in front of him, Liang Yue opened his mouth wide.

Crunch, crunch ~

In a few moments, he stuffed it into his mouth.

His eating manner was almost no different from Little King Kong's ~

"Swish ~!"

In an instant, a golden radiance suddenly rose from Liang Yue's body, swirling and spreading around.

Immediately afterward, a long-lost system notification sound rang in his mind.

"Ding~! Comprehended skill 'Eye of Truth' through the Wind Phantom Dragon template!"

… …

«Eye of Truth»

Skill Level: 6

Current Level: 1 / 6

An instinctive physiological talent of the dragon species, which, when activated, will bring you, as a human, a different perspective.

Skill Effect: Night Vision (Passive), Telescopic Vision (Passive), Wide Angle (Passive)

This skill will automatically level up as the level increases.

… …

"Wide angle…"

"Just these three passives? It looks much worse than the Byakugan. I wonder what new effects will emerge after leveling up."

"Hmm~ I'll go communicate with Nana and the others later."

"However, this skill automatically leveling up is quite good. It seems that it can be improved every five levels ~"

Just like that, casually throwing the fruit peel into the bushes beside him, Liang Yue returned to Konoha with Little King Kong after a while.

However, just as he was leisurely making his way back, and had just arrived at the entrance of the Hyuga clan, a Konoha Anbu ninja wearing a mask happened to bring the Hokage's order, summoning him over…

… …

"How is it? Looking at your expressions, the situation doesn't seem optimistic."

Arriving at the window of the Hokage's office with a Flying Thunder God Technique, looking at Tsunade, the Third Hokage, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Naruto, and others in the room, all with solemn expressions, Liang Yue immediately guessed the outcome of the matter.

This should be ~ Obito making a move, right?

"I heard that during your mission at the Fire Temple last time, you fought a masked man belonging to the Akatsuki organization. I now want to hear a more detailed account of your battle."

After he flipped through the window and sat down, Tsunade frowned and said to him.

Hearing this, Liang Yue didn't hide anything. Anyway, after completing the previous Fire Temple mission, he had already explained everything on the mission scroll.

Repeating it now wouldn't make much of a difference.

Anyway, other than describing the process in more detail, it was impossible for Liang Yue to say anything new.

After all, he couldn't directly reveal Obito's identity, could he?

Wouldn't that expose everything?

Liang Yue could only try his best to lean the information and deduction towards Brother Earth, but whether the few people present could guess the other party's identity along his train of thought was not his problem.

"…In short, this person's ability is very strange, but even as a member of the Uchiha clan, if one wanted to give birth to such an ability, the other party must already be a master who has awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Moreover, according to past intelligence, the other party should have left Konoha Village a long time ago, at least ~ they should be older than Itachi and Shisui."

Based on the existing information that Konoha has, Liang Yue stopped there.

Hearing this, the Third Hokage beside him also nodded subconsciously, put the mouthpiece of his pipe to his mouth and took a puff, and then opened his mouth with a solemn expression.

"Chunqiu's deduction should be correct. This Uchiha should be a master who was born before Itachi and Shisui, and left Konoha a long time ago.

Otherwise, the Uchiha's extermination night… Alas ~"

"Kakashi, do you have anything to say?"

Jiraiya, who was sitting unceremoniously on the other side, accidentally discovered Kakashi, who had an uncertain expression, excited, and no longer had his usual calm dead fish eyes, so he couldn't help but ask.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room focused their attention on him.

"Hoo ~ I feel that that person's ability is a bit familiar."

Kakashi took a deep breath at this time, and said with some sadness in his eyes.

"What do you mean? Explain it more clearly."

Tsunade crossed her arms at this time, looking at the other party and asked.

"What I mean is that the other person's Sharingan ability is somewhat similar to my Sharingan, both can transfer something to an unknown place.

The difference is that my Sharingan can transfer various ninjutsu in addition to items, while that person can use it to transfer himself, but these seem to be applications of the same ability."

After speaking, Kakashi unconsciously clenched his fists tightly, his chest rising and falling sharply.

Then, to everyone's surprise, astonishment, and gaze, he slowly raised his forehead protector, revealing the three-tomoe Sharingan.

After a burst of rotation, the three tomoe transformed into a Mangekyo ~

Immediately afterward, within Kakashi's line of sight, a distorted vortex suddenly appeared out of thin air, and a teacup placed on the Hokage's desk was sucked into this vortex in the blink of an eye!
