Deidara's Favorability Maxed Out

"Regardless, the activation time for that thing should be quite long!"

In the end, Orochimaru's greed suppressed his reason.

Instead of fleeing, he struck instantly, gripping a long blade in his hand as he descended from the sky, charging straight toward Uchiha Sora.

The Hokage's expression shifted as he saw this, wanting to step forward to intervene, but it was simply too fast!

Orochimaru was equal to him in strength, perhaps even slightly stronger.

With such a deliberate sneak attack, the Hokage would have been unable to stop it had he not been standing so close.

As for Kakashi and Jiraiya, who were present, they were too far away.

Moreover, they were currently protecting the students in the village and dared not leave their posts.

For the moment, it seemed Uchiha Sora was in danger.

However, Uchiha Sora had long anticipated this scene.

He would not have dared to come in person if he hadn't been prepared.

He sneered and waved his hand, a faint blue fluorescent light appearing deep within his palm!

This fluorescence was none other than the nuclear energy he had originally stuffed into the bullet head!

Uchiha Sora let out a cold snort.

"Did you really think I could only fire this thing once?"

Although it had drained most of Uchiha Sora's chakra, the moment the light appeared, Orochimaru gasped in horror.

He forcibly halted his forward momentum, even going so far as to sever his own arm, terrified of making contact with that blue speck of light.

Immediately after, his entire body transformed into a thousand small snakes, flowing away in all directions like water as he made a rapid escape.

There was no doubt about it—he had run away!

The Hokage and the others were pale-faced.

"This blue light... that kid Uchiha Sora actually has more!"

The Hokage was also taken aback.

He truly hadn't expected that Uchiha Sora would possess more than one of such a terrifying weapon.

And by the looks of it, there might even be a third.

It seemed that as long as Uchiha Sora wished, he could produce these things without end!

Something capable of easily destroying a village and killing a Tailed Beast, and in such quantities—the Hokage's attitude toward Uchiha Sora changed instantly.

This kid... he is destined to achieve great things in the village in the future!

He then turned his head, his voice echoing in all directions.

"Ninjas of Konoha Village, hear my order: repair the village, locate all the wounded, and send them to the Medical Department."

"As for these people from Sunagakure, kill those you can, and capture the half-dead to be locked away in the Heavenly Prison."

"Afterward, Jiraiya, Kakashi, follow me. And Uchiha Sora, you come along as well!"

The Hokage vanished on the spot after speaking.

Jiraiya and Kakashi hurried over from the distance.

They arrived at Uchiha Sora's side.

Kakashi patted Uchiha Sora on the shoulder.

"Not bad, kid. Is this ability of yours really the Sharingan?"

Jiraiya's eyes also flickered.

Having lived for so long, both men were shrewd and understood the Hokage's intent; he likely felt that this kid, Uchiha Sora, was very strong.

But at the same time, he was also very dangerous—possibly the next Itachi Uchiha.

What was even more frightening was the explosive power of Uchiha Sora's weapon.

Its threat to Konoha Village was far greater than that of a simple Tailed Beast!

Uchiha Sora chuckled.

"The two of you are mentors in this village, no need for such formalities..."

"However, I want to say that this thing comes at a high price; even for me, using it is incredibly draining."

"I have protected the village, so I hope the two teachers will put in a good word for me when the time comes."

Uchiha Sora grinned, a smile that made Kakashi and Jiraiya feel a chill.

They couldn't help but feel that this guy, Uchiha Sora, was threatening them.

Uchiha Sora didn't waste any more words, taking the lead and walking toward the Hokage's office in Konoha Village.

In truth, he had long understood that once he utilized a nuke, the Hokage would inevitably track him down.

At that point, the Hokage might even worry about whether he could destroy the village.

In short, it was a massive headache.

However, Uchiha Sora was not the least bit flustered; he had long since prepared a way to deal with it.

At this moment, inside Uchiha Sora's mind, the system's voice echoed with unprecedented clarity.

"Ding! Detected that the host has used modern high-tech weaponry, causing a shock to the ninja world!"

"Furthermore, it is detected that the host has defeated a powerful enemy beyond his level, triggering hidden system rewards!"

"Reward one: Quantum Technology unlocked!"

"Reward two: Sharingan level increased, skill Amaterasu unlocked!"

"Reward three: Deidara's friendship, maxed out!"

Uchiha Sora was taken aback.

The previous rewards were easy enough to understand.

The only one truly worth noting was Quantum Technology.

In Uchiha Sora's view, this thing was beyond his scope of understanding.

It must have been something the system conjured up.

Still, it was a good thing; after all, in the future, when facing more ninjas—especially in the later stages where everyone was a cheater—an ordinary nuke might not be effective anymore.

Therefore, Quantum Technology solved an urgent problem.

The third one, however, was somewhat absurd.

What did it mean to have Deidara's friendship?

Wasn't that guy a member of the Akatsuki?

How did he suddenly develop a friendship with him?

Moreover, Uchiha Sora understood that the system didn't increase favorability for no reason.

It required some sort of connection, and Deidara had absolutely nothing to do with him, did he?

But soon, he froze.

Could it be the explosion?

Having read the original work, Sora knew very well about Deidara's obsession with explosions.

If he had witnessed the nuclear explosion, perhaps he really would have developed a favorable impression of him.

However, that wasn't important; surely this guy wouldn't dare come looking for him, would he?

In Uchiha Sora's opinion, that was highly unlikely.

And so, he soon arrived at the Hokage's office in Konoha Village.

At this moment, the Hokage swept his gaze over Uchiha Sora.

Although he had also just gone through a battle and was covered in wounds, as the ruler of Konoha Village, the Hokage's aura remained sharp.

"Uchiha Sora! You have done well; you have rendered a great service to the village this time. But could you explain your eyes?"

Uchiha Sora spread his hands.

"It's very hard to explain, because I don't understand them myself. They just awakened on their own, similar to Itachi's, I suppose."

"However, there are only two of us Uchiha left in the village now, and Sasuke is still young; he certainly wouldn't know either."

"Without any reference, it's hard to say anything for sure."

The Hokage frowned.

He could certainly tell that Uchiha Sora was shifting the goalposts and clearly stalling for time.

Yet, the argument held water.

The Sharingan was full of mysteries; even Madara Uchiha from the ancient era wouldn't dare claim he had mastered the Sharingan entirely!

However, the Hokage still felt that Uchiha Sora was unsafe.

Keeping him in the village was like keeping a ticking time bomb.

Especially since he noticed that the blue fluorescent light Uchiha Sora possessed seemed capable of appearing in his hands at any moment.

What if, one day, he wasn't feeling well or was displeased and decided to torch the village?

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly whipped his head around to look out the window.
