The Eye-Seering Hiruko

"No wonder he's that gloomy old man's disciple." The blond Ron narrowed his azure eyes.

"Haven." With his arms crossed and a haughty expression, Draco memorized yet another name.

'Draco is so handsome!' Pansy's eyes turned into hearts.

(Pansy frowned, "My forehead is so big and so flat.")

"Hey, Neville, this isn't good," said the black-haired boy with a ponytail and a lazy demeanor. "They all seem to be formidable opponents."

"The Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth are the only ones left. The Land of Sand has introduced the Crouch family, Draco with the Mangekyo Sharingan, Lance Weasley who can rival him, Rock Lee who can open seven of the Eight Inner Gates and has also mastered Rock Lee Sage Body, and Narcissa who defeated Regulus Black to become a member of the Black family."

"Vernon," a chubby boy with brown hair that looked like he was wearing blue briefs said, tears welling in his eyes, "What does it matter? I'll just forfeit the match if I run into him."

(Neville was speechless, unsure whether to criticize his own appearance or his whiny personality.)

("Vernon?" Harry doubted it was just a coincidence; his uncle couldn't possibly be that slim.)

"So that means the all-you-can-eat barbecue deal has been cancelled too?" the blonde girl next to her said.

Neville's eyes widened instantly.

As the blonde girl named each dish, Neville's fighting spirit was instantly ignited, and he waved his hand and shouted, "I want roast meat! I want roast meat!"

("This isn't me at all," Neville could finally say with conviction. "This is more like Ron.")

"Wow, this is youth!" Rock Lee, with his bowl cut and green bodysuit, raised his fist.

On the audience board outside the hall, Kai, who was also wearing a green bodysuit, twitched his ears and began shouting about youth and passion.

On the high platform, in the High Table, blond-haired Arthur Prewett also stood up and excitedly shouted, "The match begins!"

The contestants in the hall looked at the clock.

Oh, isn't there still half an hour left?

The Konoha Village in the audience wiped the cold sweat from their brows. Luckily, they knew their Hokage was unreliable and had arrived early.

The competition started ahead of schedule.

"Damn it, damn it, I'm the first one."

Ron entered the Duel Arena.

The Duel Arena was incredibly vast, and the opponent on the other side was just a tiny black dot in his eyes.

If the opponent's name hadn't been announced verbally, he wouldn't have known who it was.

Cornwall Potter.

Ron silently repeated the name in his mind.

"You're in trouble now that you've met me." The black-faced, Pikachu-like boy flung out the puppet behind him.

("Another of my works." Nick Flume, unaware of the swimsuit Chiyo incident, looked at the hazy figure in the smoke.)

(The next second, even Nick Flume, who had lived for hundreds of years and was now in the afterlife, couldn't help but break down.)

Ron, having released his senses and clearly seen the shape of the puppet opposite him, also trembled violently.

"Ah--"

"My eyes!"

(Ron wasn't the only one who felt this way; currently, aside from those with unusual tastes, most wizards were considering erasing this part of their memories after the competition.)

(At the same time, they were incredibly envious of the three heroes waiting in the hall for their names to be called, who were lucky enough to miss this disgusting scene.)

What came into his view was a doll with wrinkles, age spots, and excess fat sculpted in great detail.

She wore pigtails that didn't suit her age and a tight black leather jacket.

Except for its limbs being sharp blades, it is almost identical to a living person.

At the same time, a cheer of relief came from the stands.

At the High Table.

The Fourth Hokage shuddered. "Thank goodness it wasn't Chiyo in a swimsuit."

The Third Tsuchikage, who was the same age as Chiyo, scoffed, "Young lady, what's so scary about this?"

The Fourth Raikage's face darkened. "How did your advisors allow this thing to be manufactured and brought here?"

The Fourth Hokage interjected, "Most importantly, how does your son manage to sleep with it at night?"

"It's a form of training, in my son's opinion." Voldemort suppressed the urge to summon the real Fourth Kazekage to answer the question for him. "In fact, it was initially covered by a layer of disguise, but my son believes that a true puppeteer should not compromise the puppet's performance for the sake of aesthetics."

Meanwhile, Kang, riding a motorcycle that Transfiguration humanoid form and holding the handlebars with twin tails, had arrived in front of Ron.

Two wheels emerged from its chest, the blades on its limbs retracted, and as its elbows and thighs accelerated, they spewed out thick black smoke.

Chiyo's old face was almost pressed against Ron's.

"Don't come any closer!"

Ron plopped down on the ground and backed away using both his hands and feet.

A lush green force field has been deployed.

The goal at this point is not to engulf the opponent, but to isolate them.

The motorcycle seemed to have crashed into an air cushion, and using the momentum, it spun and flew into the sky.

"Ron made a mistake," Harry said, then shook his head. "No, not really."

(Seeing Ginny's puzzled look, he explained, "If Ron had chosen to include his opponent within his sphere of influence instead of rejecting him, Ron would have already won—disintegrating the Puppeteer's body down to just his head. Of course, this is assuming the Superhero World has advanced medical technology to back it up.")

"Hiruko ·Sand Iron Control!"

Kang grasped the twin tails, and the Chakra threads embedded in their hair activated the [Regeneration Core]. Black iron sand flowed out from the gaps, forming a track to stabilize the vehicle while simultaneously solidifying a pair of giant bird wings on both sides of the vehicle.

"This thing can fly!"

Ron struggled to his feet and looked at the puppet hovering above him, its large face turned toward him, and felt a wave of nausea wash over him.

"Third Kazekage! x3"

The three people in the High Table immediately thought of him.

Human puppet?

So, he looks like Chiyo, but is actually the Third Kazekage?

That's so damn insidious.

The Fourth Kazekage saw through the three's thoughts. "This was done voluntarily by the Third Hokage, after fighting the Second Hokage's undead, before he died. And this puppet only used the Third Hokage's heart."

The three men's furrowed brows relaxed.

Using one's own body as material for ninja tools while still alive is not uncommon in today's ninja world.

This can also effectively weaken the power of the undead that die.

However, due to the limitations of the craftsmanship, and unless one possesses Bloodline Limit, the value of a ninja's flesh and blood is not as precious as their Chakra.

Extracting one's own Chakra and storing it using tools is a more mainstream approach.

As his nerves relaxed, the Third Tsuchikage Moody, noticed Kang's hand, which had never left the puppet's twin tails, combining with the iron sand that sometimes transformed into [Iron Sand Rain], [Iron Sand Top], [Iron Sand Triangular Pyramid], and [Iron Sand Giant Needle].

He narrowed his eyes. "Is this a puppet constructed with Chakra threads instead of hand seals?"

"This is precisely Nick Flume's masterpiece." The Fourth Kazekage nodded. "This is also why, despite his unruly nature, the advisors still dote on him so much. It's not just because of the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren."

'Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck.'

Using the [Earth Release: Fish Reflection Technique in the Earth], Ron's true form, which had disappeared into the Dadi, thought to himself.

The messages he received from the vanishing Shadow Clone from time to time annoyed him immensely.

The solid iron sand imbued with Chakra was more difficult for his force field to digest than ninjutsu, such as the Chakra entity Susanoo.

With its Chakra compressed, high-density iron sand, it is even more difficult to break than the Weasley Clan's [Diamond Sealing Barrier].

The ninjutsu he tried to use couldn't break through the opponent's [Iron Sand Wall] at all.

Right now, unless he uses the light armor known as the "Lost Legacy" of this world, the World Tree Wand, or uses magic in conjunction with summoned beasts, he is no match for this puppeteer.

On the field.

One by one, Ron leaped out of the liquid-like ground, using either Earth Release or Wind Release.

But they were all destroyed one by one by the iron pellets that transformed into various shapes.

"The same five elements as Dumbledore?" The Third Tsuchikage was surprised, then sighed, "It's a pity that Weasley knows too few of the five elemental jutsu, and he doesn't know Sealing Technique either. His Bloodline Limit isn't as easy to deal with Magnet Release as the Sharingan."

In his view, if Ron knew Sealing Technique, Potter would have been captured long ago.

As for Ron's Bloodline Limit failing against Magnet Release, it wasn't particularly surprising to him. That's how the ninja world is; you can't just look at strength, you also have to consider the relationships of mutual restraint.

"That's not the case." The Fourth Hokage Arthur, who had analyzed the nature of Ron's force field from his son's words, shook his head. "It's Lance Weasley's barrier, which is extremely deadly to flesh and blood. He can't use the same methods he uses against ninjutsu on his opponent directly."

The real person was Voldemort, who nodded to the 'Fourth Kazekage' whom Ron had been paying close attention to. "If the opponent were a regular ninjutsu-type ninja, or if the iron sand that Kang is currently controlling is Chakra transformation, Lance Weasley would have already won."

"If killing is allowed, he will win even faster against a taijutsu-type ninja."

"It seems that there are still shortcomings in the competition system."

The Fourth Raikage shook his head. "The Guardian Shinobi aren't solely determined by the final match results. Rather, the competition identifies the four best among them. Even if Lance Weasley was unlucky enough to encounter a ninja who countered him and thus failed the first round..."

"But if you are good enough, you can still become Guardian Shinobi."

Ron still occasionally sends out Shadow Clone from underground and receives the memories of his destroyed Shadow Clone, is unaware that the outcome of the competition is not important.

He gritted his teeth and pulled out his Crystal branch-like magic wand.

Based on his Spider-Sense and the Weasley family's perception of Chakra in this world, he pointed his wand to the upper right.

[Expelliarmus]

("So thick!")

(The magical ray, thicker than ten Hagrid tied together, astonished many wizards. Was it enhanced with Chakra?)

(When did Ron become so fierce?)

("It's the wand's amplification," Harry said.)

Potter was even more confused.

After being struck by the red beam of light that wasn't crackling with electricity, he not only suddenly lost control of the iron sand, but at the same time, the Chakra threads inserted into the puppet also snapped abruptly, and a repulsive force came from the puppet's twin tails—the place where his hands were gripping.

The person was completely freed from the puppet.

Crackling sound—

Then he heard a voice in his ear, and a hand pressed on the top of his head, Chakra to leak out uncontrollably.

"What a beautiful Apparition!" Ginny couldn't help but exclaim. She couldn't believe her brother had used it. "How did he locate it?"

"His perception of Chakra comes from the Weasley Bloodline Limit of this world," Harry said, "And is also combined with the power of the Spider Totem."

"Flying Thunder God Technique! x3"

The Kazekage, Tsuchikage, and Raikage stood up and looked at the Fourth Hokage.

The same applies to the spectators in the stands.

The Fourth Hokage Arthur, looked grave. "No, this is another kind of space-time ninjutsu. No, it's more like Bloodline Limit ability."

"[Sealing Technique: Absorption Seal] is really useful." Ron couldn't help but exclaim as he escorted the limp Potter to the referee's office.

If it were his force field, and if he hadn't been careful enough to absorb the Chakra, Corn Potter, Harry's brother from another world, would probably have been reduced to a skeleton.

This is based on his experience after experimenting with the Ninja Rabbit.

"Well done!" Yale walked over to Ron.

Ron suppressed his joy, his gaze sweeping over the referee who was adjusting the ground. "And then what? Should I stay here and watch the game, or..."

"Stay here and watch the game," Yale said. "[Ninja Art: Eagle Eye Technique]!" His gaze fell on the two figures who had already entered the arena.

The referee first announced the two players' names, "Katy Pride, Haven."

The ninjas in the stands became excited.

The disciple of the Darkness of the Ninja World vs. the sole heir of Iwagakure

It's going to be amazing!

Katy's immediate use of the [Light-Heavy Rock Technique] to take off on the spot upon entering the arena seemed to foreshadow an even more exciting match.

Five minutes later.

"Why isn't the game over yet?"

"Will this ever end?"

"No one can play against anyone else."

"."

The people in the stands were already yawning.

Even the Third Tsuchikage, "Since we've encountered an ability of the same nature, let's just call it a draw."

("The game shouldn't be like this.")

(Unlike the others on the field who were deceived by Haven's specially made colored contact lenses, Harry, with his Cosmic Knight's senses, saw through Haven's true nature at a glance, just as he saw that Haven's body was filled with Ghost Qi and that he was Death Eater.)

(He was using the Mangekyo ability, but it wasn't complete because he was missing one eye.)

(If he possessed both eyes, Haven should not only be able to merge with space, but also directly break through space.)

(In other words, Haven's ninjutsu can harm Katy.)

(But reality is different; Haven's abilities are about to reach their limit.)

("This Death Eater is going to lose," Harry said.)

Katy was unaware that her opponent was about to break free from the [Kamui] space. She simply used her flight ability as a result of inertia to use [Super Heavy Rock Technique] on the 'illusion' in front of her.

Then, Haven's body suddenly sank.

The hand that was raised paused for a moment.

"Are you going to admit defeat?"

I thought I'd only ever be a referee for the construction team from now on, haha, finally I've come in handy.

"Yes." Haven nodded emphatically.
