"Congratulations, Meikyō, the surgery was a success."
Dr. Kusuno looked at Meikyō as she slowly rose from the operating table and said.
"Ah, thank you very much, Dr. Kusuno and Dr. Genos."
Meikyō slowly removed the bandages, opened her eyes, and felt the power of her pupils.
In the past, although he could feel powerful energy from his own Mangekyō Sharingan, compared to now, Meikyō always felt that something was missing from that feeling back then.
Now, the power in his eyes has become even more surging and stronger!
The power of the pupils is being nurtured in one's own eyes, rapidly improving both in quality and quantity.
This is the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan! It represents a terrifying power that is unmatched by ordinary ninjas!
"Perfect! This is absolutely perfect! Quick! Uchiha Meikyō, show me your current power! Perfect power!"
Dr. Genos stood to the side, trembling, speaking in a frenzied tone.
"Genus!"
Dr. Kuseno frowned, about to reprimand Genus, when he heard a loud bang outside.
"This is... Genos's Incineration Cannon? Has the meteor already landed?"
Dr. Kuseno looked out the window and murmured.
"Doctor, let's go first. At least with our capabilities, we can escort you out of the center of the meteorite impact."
The Armored Gorilla Gate of Opening and looked at Dr. Genos, while Mosquito Girl nodded repeatedly beside him.
"No need!"
Genus looked at Meikyō with excitement.
"Perfect power needs a perfect platform to be displayed! Uchiha Meikyō! Let me see your power!"
"Ah, sure."
Meikyō put on her clothes, stretched her body, and then took a step, breaking through the roof.
"Susanoo!"
A surge of powerful pupil energy poured forth from his eyes, and a colossal golden giant, towering between heaven and earth, appeared, with wings on its back, Totsuka Blade in its right hand, and Sun Wheel Mirror in its left, charging towards the sky.
"Boom!"
With another deafening roar, the meteorite shattered under Saitama's fist. Countless fragments, rubbed against the atmosphere, transformed into streaks of fireballs that plummeted toward the earth.
"Saitama has made his move? In that case..."
Meikyō's Observation Haki expanded, capturing the trajectory of each meteorite fragment as it fell.
"Eight Branches Sacred Gem!"
Golden Tomoe shot out, shattering all the larger meteorites in the sky.
Susanoo ninety-nine!
At that moment, the Sun Wheel Mirror also released countless golden arrows, which precisely collided with each fragment of the meteorite, shattering them into pieces.
This is enough to minimize the residual effects of the meteorite breaking apart.
"That's... Teacher Meikyō's ability!"
Genos stared in astonishment at the golden giant soaring through the sky.
Previously, he had only seen half-body Susanoo. Although they were not small, how Perfect Susanoo, which was hundreds of meters tall?
"Is that the ability of the Scarlet Ninja? I don't think this ability is very related to crimson or ninja. But it is indeed very strong. This is enough to minimize the impact of the meteorite. It's just a pity that some people will still be injured."
Bang stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Susanoo in the sky.
Having witnessed Saitama's power, he was surprised by the power displayed by the Meikyō, but he could still accept it.
After all, the old man had witnessed Tatsumaki's full power before. However, the old man also believed that with this golden giant, Uchiha Meikyō might have the strength to fight Tatsumaki.
"It's a pity. If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have advised Metal Knight to delay our actions. After Saitama destroyed the meteorite, the two of us could have assisted Teacher Meikyō and reduced the impact of the meteorite even further."
Genos said in a deep voice as he watched the rubble fall like hailstones.
Now, most people can ensure their basic safety simply by taking shelter under a sufficiently sturdy building.
Meikyō thought so too, but still came to the highway intersection on the edge of the city, changed the form of Susanoo like Majestic Attire: Susanoo, and protected the place.
This can be considered an application of Chakra Shape Transformation, but it is much more difficult than ordinary Ninjutsu.
The meteorite crashed, and most of the city's residents rushed here in an attempt to evacuate Z-City.
The road is very open, and the roof of a small car may not be able to block the larger falling rocks.
"Are we... saved?"
A citizen stared blankly at the golden barrier a dozen meters above, muttering to himself.
"Great! We're finally saved!"
Groups of citizens wept with joy, filled with the happiness of surviving a disaster.
"I got it! I got it! The one controlling that golden giant is the Scarlet Ninja! I saw him in the noodle shop a month ago!"
A long-haired girl waved her camera and shouted.
She just took two photos: one showing the Perfect Susanoo descending from the sky, and the other, taken with a zoomed-in lens, showing the Meikyō in the prism position on Susanoo's head.
Soon, reporters offered a high price to try and buy the two photos from the girl.
As a result, the two photos made headlines in major media outlets the very next day.
"Oh, it's on the news. Come to think of it, this is the first time I've done this since I started doing heroic work."
Saitama ate his breakfast and looked at the newspaper on the table.
Genos bought breakfast while he was out buying breakfast, and he bought the newspaper on the way there.
The newspaper cover featured the photo taken by that long-haired girl.
The enormous golden Susanoo wings on its back, and its majestic appearance, combined with the gold and orange color scheme, makes it look like a god descending to earth.
Opening the cover, the first image is still of Meikyō.
On the head of the golden Susanoo, in the diamond-shaped mirror, one can clearly see a tall figure wearing a blue-black haori. The bright red eyes, against the surrounding golden background, complement the handsome face of the Meikyō, creating a unique aesthetic.
Next comes the main text, which details the background of how the meteorite's trajectory was altered by high-energy cosmic rays, ultimately leading to its impact on Z-City. Following that, it roughly recounts how several heroes destroyed the meteorite, saved Z-City, and the subsequent impact of this event.
However, since Genos, Metal Knight, Saitama, and the others were located directly facing the center of the meteorite, and no one except a few heroes would still be there when the disaster struck, there are no photos of Genos and the others at the scene.
Instead, photos of Genos, Saitama, and others from the Hero Association's official website were interspersed throughout the text below.
"Speaking of which, our hero rankings have improved this time, right? I wonder if I can reach B-rank. The weekly mission requirements are really troublesome."
Saitama put the shumai into his mouth and said in a muffled voice.
"There has indeed been an improvement. My ranking has risen by one place, replacing Teacher Meikyō's original seventeenth place. Teacher Meikyō has risen to fifteenth place. Sexy Futanari, who was originally sixteenth, and Metal Bat, who was fifteenth, are now ranked eighteenth and sixteenth respectively."
"As for Saitama- sensei, he has risen from 342nd in C-rank to 5th, and should soon be promoted to B-rank. Logically speaking, with his achievements, he would be worthy of being 5th in S-rank. However, the Hero Association seems to think that Metal Knight and I contributed more to this incident."
Genos looked at the rankings displayed on his phone and said.
"Oh, there's no B-rank yet?"
Saitama said with some regret, then continued to ask:
"Where's Meikyō? I haven't seen him."
"He left before Saitama even got up. Teacher Meikyō said he had some things to do today and needed to go back to his hometown for a while, apparently it was the anniversary of a relative's death."
Genos said so.
The Naruto World.
Konoha, in Memorial Stone.
Meikyō placed two bouquets of flowers in front of the tombstones of Uchiha Senji and Uchiha Rinna respectively.
Today marks the anniversary of their death, and also the fourteenth anniversary of Meikyō's arrival in this world.
In two months, it will be Meikyō's 24th birthday.
"Has it been decided, Master Dan?"
Meikyō turned around and looked at Dan Katō behind her, asking a question.
Standing behind Dan Katō was Uchiha Itachi, who graduated early and became Chunin in less than a year, joining the Anbu.
"That depends on Itachi's own wishes. In fact, I am not willing to let Itachi go. These things should be borne by those of us in high positions, not by pushing a young ninja into the fire."
Dan Katō sighed and looked at Uchiha Itachi.
"No, Fourth Hokage and Lord Meikyō, this is the most suitable method, and also the method that can achieve the greatest results with the least cost."
Uchiha Itachi knelt on the ground, head bowed, and spoke.
"See, that's why I came to find you. I Fudō persuade him, but you might be able to."
Dan Katō said with a wry smile.
It's unclear what Uchiha Itachi went through, or how Madara somehow got in touch with him again. Now, Itachi has made a suggestion to the village's higher-ups: to have Itachi, who has been under Uchiha Madara, infiltrate Madara's inner circle as an undercover agent, then transmit information about Madara back to Konoha, and finally have Konoha's high-ranking officers ambush and kill him.
"Master Dan."
Meikyō suddenly spoke up.
"You actually lean more towards Itachi's choice, otherwise you wouldn't have come to me."
Meikyō stared at Dan Katō and said.
Dan Katō taken aback for a moment, then sat down on the spot with a wry smile on his face.
"Meikyō, do you also think I've changed?"
Meikyō remained standing in the same spot, without saying a word.
