Shin'un nodded in agreement, acknowledging Shiina Kō's words.
"Have you noticed that ever since Yūichi's Sharingan awakened to the Mitsudomoe, everything he does has been very different from before?"
After the two stood there quietly for a while, something Shiina Kō caught Shin'un's attention.
" Three-Tomoe Sharingan?" Shin'un repeated the term, subconsciously raising his right hand to support his chin, and began to carefully recall Yūichi's behavior after awakening the Mitsudomoe.
"It seems... that's really the case!" After thinking for a moment, Shin'un came to a conclusion.
"The old Yūichi seemed to be just a bit belligerent; although he was proud, he wasn't as arrogant and extreme as he is now."
"At least, back then Yūichi was more serious and wouldn't do anything to tease the enemy."
Nodding, Shiina Kō frowned slightly, his beautiful eyes revealing deep confusion. He looked up at Shin'un, who was a head taller than him, and asked:
"Why is that?"
"Could the awakening of the Sharingan also affect the user's personality?"
Upon hearing Shiina Kō's words, Shin'un smiled and made a joke to change the subject.
"Who knows? Maybe Yūichi is a deeply hidden psychopath?"
"Really..." Seeing Shin'un make a joke, Shiina Kō's curiosity disappeared instantly. He rolled his Byakugan slightly, walked to a boulder to rest, and ignored Shin'un.
"Haha!" Seeing Shiina Kō roll her eyes at him and then walk away speechlessly, Shin'un felt inexplicably happy.
But as he watched Shiina Kō's retreating figure, Shin'un's smile gradually faded, and he turned to look again at Yūichi was picking up corpses and trash not far away.
To be honest, girls are indeed very perceptive. Even he didn't notice that Yūichi's personality change began when he awakened his Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Furthermore, Shiina Kō also deduced that "the awakening and evolution of the Sharingan does indeed affect the user's temperament."
Although Shiina Kō said this with a speculative or even joking attitude, Shin'un was certain that Yūichi's current extreme state was very likely due to the influence of the Sharingan.
During the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, made a statement after being resurrected by Orochimaru using Edo Impure World Reincarnation.
While the Sharingan makes the Uchiha Clan stronger than other ninjas, this power also makes them more Uchiha.
This is why, after hearing that Sasuke Uchiha might lead them to destroy Konoha, Tobirama Senju Sasuke Uchiha as "the inherently evil brat of the Uchiha clan."
Because Uchiha clan members are naturally prone to extreme ideas, and this extreme nature becomes increasingly apparent and prominent as the Sharingan itself awakens and evolves.
For example, there's Uchiha Shisui, who possessed the ultimate Genjutsu " Kotoamatsukami " but refused to use it, ultimately choosing suicide rather than letting his clan know he was attacked by Konoha High Command, thus exacerbating the conflict between Konoha and the Uchiha Clan Shisui Uchiha.
For example, Uchiha Itachi helped outsiders slaughter his entire clan overnight, bringing peace to Konoha.
For example, Madara Uchiha was willing to use the " Eye of the Moon Plan " to cover the world with Genjutsu in exchange for so-called peace.
There's also Obito Uchiha, who fights against the entire world just to see his loved ones in this false world.
"I didn't expect that just the Mitsudomoe Sharingan would have such a significant impact on its user's personality?"
Shin'un watched Yūichi picking up the body not far away and pondered silently.
Looking at Yūichi from afar, Shin'un paused for a moment, then shook his head, as if he had figured something out.
"It doesn't matter. Yūichi still listens to me quite well. I'll just keep an eye on him with Orochimaru- sensei in the future." Thinking of this, Shin'un looked down at his fists, which he had crossed over his chest.
"He can't beat me anyway, unless he awakens the Mangekyō directly."
"Smash!" Shin'un clicked his tongue, feeling a little regretful.
"What a pity, I was hoping to get myself a pair of patterned contact lenses someday."
"But since it has a flaw that affects the owner's personality, let's forget about it."
Shaking his head, Shin'un estimated that about two minutes had passed. He immediately turned around and jumped onto a boulder next to him, raising his right arm in a gesture of assembly.
Among the ninjas replenishing their ninja tools and restoring their own condition on the battlefield, someone immediately noticed Shin'un making a gesture on the boulder and called for nearby ninjas to gather around Shin'un.
Needless to say, the ninjas were incredibly efficient. In just a few breaths, Shin'un on the boulder had the remaining ninjas on the battlefield lined up in formation.
Seeing this, Shin'un nodded in satisfaction and said nothing more.
"Set off!"
After saying that, Shin'un leaped down from the boulder and led the hundreds of people behind him toward the meeting point for the three teams that Nara Shikahito had arranged.
Half an hour later, no more sunlight shone through the gaps in the dark clouds on the horizon, and with the sudden downpour, the path for the team to move forward became completely dark.
Clearly, judging from the already dark surroundings, Shin'un was late and had failed to reach the meeting point before sunset to rendezvous with the other two Konoha teams.
Fortunately, after half an hour of full-speed running, Shin'un's Konoha team was not far from their planned destination and would not be much later than expected.
Moreover, the operational plan devised by Nara Shikahito this time has a high margin for error; as long as one is not more than two hours late, it will not have any impact on the plan.
" Lord Hirakawa, it's confirmed!"
In the pouring rain, a Konoha Chunin the massive raindrops pelting down on him and rushed to Shin'un's Shin'un, loudly reporting to him.
"What?"
In the pouring rain, Shin'un, whose ninja attire was soaked to the bone, could only shout like the Chunin to make sure the other person could hear him.
"Report! Our right flank has encountered two of our patrolling squads."
"After making contact, we confirmed that the team led by the Jonin Nara had arrived at the rendezvous point before us."
The seemingly older Chunin ran alongside Shin'un, loudly recounting the discovery on the right flank.
"Very well, in that case, relay my orders: have the team speed up and meet the Jonin Nara as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" Upon hearing this, the Chunin, who was in charge of relaying orders, immediately stepped down to fulfill his duty of conveying commands and communicating with the Genin the team.
Shin'un nodded, immediately increased his speed, and headed straight for the assembly point ahead.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Shin'un, who was at the very front of the line, was the first to cross a hill, and a large valley composed of mountain peaks came into view.
As you can see, nearly a thousand Konoha Ninja wearing green vests are already gathered in the open space in the center of the valley.
