Sasuke feels that his vision has become clearer. He can see the movement trajectory of every energy particle in the spiritual world, can feel the folds of space, and can even vaguely touch the flow of time.
Ino has also changed over there.
A purple diamond-shaped mark appeared on her forehead. The mark matched her Yamanaka Clan Mind Perception Technique Resonance, bursting out with unprecedented power.
"I can feel the mental fluctuations of everyone in Konoha." Ino said in shock, "No, it's not just Leaf, there are places further away..."
She closed her eyes and let her spiritual perception extend.
Sunagakure, Kirigakure, Kumogakure, Iwagakure...
The entire spiritual network of Shinobi World was opened to her at this moment.
"This power..." Ino murmured.
"It's the legacy of that failed product." Sasuke said, "It gave us all the power it had accumulated over thousands of years."
The spiritual world begins to dissipate.
The consciousness of the two people returned to reality.
In Interrogation Room, Sasuke opened his eyes and removed his hand from Kageyama's forehead.
Kageyama still lowered his head and showed no reaction. But the vertical eye on his forehead that once symbolized power has been completely closed, and even the traces are no longer visible.
"Success?" Naruto opened the door and came in.
"It was successful." Sasuke stood up, "And we got an unexpected reward."
"What's the catch?"
"Information about Otsutsuki, and..." Sasuke raised his hand, and a black vortex appeared in the palm of his hand, "A new kind of power."
He did not explain in detail because he himself did not fully understand the nature of this power.
"What should Kageyama do?" Naruto looked at the charred figure tied to the chair.
"Stay with the Interrogation Department and continue to observe." Sasuke said, "Although the consciousness of the failed product has dissipated, there may still be other useful information remaining in his body."
"Understood."
The two walked out Interrogation Room.
Ino is still standing in the observation room, holding the glass with both hands, and the purple mark on his forehead is still glowing slightly.
"Ino?" Sasuke walked over.
"I..." Ino turned around, his eyes full of shock, "I can sense too many things. The entire Shinobi World's mental fluctuations, everyone's emotional changes, and even the thoughts that flashed through their minds..."
"Don't try to sense everyone at the same time." Sasuke reminds, "That will break your spirit."
"I know." Ino took a deep breath and tried to narrow his range of perception, "But the power is really terrifying. If it is used to read minds, no one can guard against it."
"So you have to learn to control." Sasuke said, "There is no good or evil in power itself. The key depends on the user's heart."
Ino nodded.
She understands what Sasuke means.
If this power is used well, it can become a weapon in the Guardian Ninja world. But if it is abused, it will become a disaster more terrifying than any illusion.
"I'll be careful," she said.
The three people left Interrogation Department and returned to the ground.
The glare of the sun made them squint their eyes in unison.
After staying underground for too long, I suddenly saw the sun and felt like I was in another world.
"Let's go to the hospital and see Karin." Naruto suggested.
"Okay."
Konoha Hospital, special care unit.
Karin was lying on the hospital bed with various medical instruments inserted into her body. Her face was still pale, but her breathing had stabilized.
"Lady Tsunade said she was seriously injured, but she won't die." The nurse standing by the bedside whispered, "She just needs to rest for a while."
"Thank you." Sasuke nodded.
The nurse exited the ward, leaving the three of them alone.
Naruto walked to the bed and looked at the unconscious Karin.
"She worked really hard," he said, "Even though she was so injured, she still tried her best to help us."
"Because she is Uzumaki Clan." Sasuke said, "People of your clan are stubborn in their bones."
"Our clan?" Naruto scratched his head, "Why didn't I know?"
"You yourself are the best example." Sasuke said angrily, "Since you were a child, when was there not a time when you worked the hardest?"
Naruto smiled and did not refute.
"When she wakes up, be sure to thank her properly." He said, "If it weren't for her perception, we wouldn't have been able to find those fragments."
"Is thanking you enough?" Ino stood next to him with a strange look, "I think you should pledge yourself to me."
"Ah?" Naruto blushed, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"I'm not talking nonsense." Ino smiled mischievously, "This little girl risked her life for you. Don't you mean it?"
"I... I..." Naruto hesitated and was speechless.
Sasuke looked at his embarrassed look, and the corners of his mouth curved.
This kind of daily life is so good.
After experiencing so much life and death, being able to return to Leaf and chat and laugh with my friends is really something worth cherishing.
"That's right." Ino suddenly remembered something.
"Where is Sakura? Didn't she go on this mission?"
"She is studying forbidden medical techniques." Sasuke said, "Lady Tsunade locked her up in Laboratory and is not allowed to come out."
"That's really miserable." Ino said sympathetically.
Just as he was talking, the door of the ward was pushed open.
Sakura rushed in panting.
"I heard you are back!" Her eyes lit up when she saw Sasuke, "Are you injured? Do you need treatment?"
"No need." Sasuke shook his head, "I'm fine."
"Really?" Sakura came over and examined his body carefully, "Your Chakra is very consumed and your eyes are bloodshot. You must have overused your pupil power."
"Small problem."
"What's the problem!" Sakura frowned, "If you continue like this, you'll go blind!"
"No." Sasuke said, "I have Rinnegan."
"Rinnegan is not omnipotent!" Sakura said reluctantly, "Follow me to the treatment room. I want to give you a comprehensive examination."
"Now?"
"Now!"
Sasuke looked at Ino and Naruto, both of whom were suppressing laughter.
"Okay." He sighed helplessly, "Then I'll trouble you."
Sakura nodded with satisfaction and pulled him out.
Only Naruto and Ino are left in the ward.
"The two of them..." Ino sighed, "They are really enviable."
"What are you envious of?" Naruto asked.
"I envy them for being able to face their feelings calmly." Ino said, "Unlike some people who clearly like them but dare not say anything."
"Who are you talking about?"
"What do you think?" Ino looked at him meaningfully.
Naruto was silent.
He remembered Hinata.
The girl who had been following him silently since childhood, the girl who almost died protecting him when Pain invaded.
"I..." He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"Forget it." Ino waved his hand, "You have to think clearly about this kind of thing yourself. Anyway, if you keep putting it off like this, be careful of someone else taking it away."
"No way!" Naruto retorted, "Hinata she..."
"She what?"
"She... she will definitely wait for me."
