Chapter 22 Kagura's Heart Eyes

Karin and a group of friends went to the river to catch fish. They were not like Naruto who went to catch fish because they had no food to eat. They were just a group of little brats who went to the river to play and catch fish.

Karin had never caught a fish before. In other words, she had hardly played any games that normal children played. Therefore, she had a great interest in all games.

Every time they go out, they play like crazy, causing Yumi to complain that she is no longer a girl.

Qingye didn't care, he knew that this was Karin making up for what she lacked, and it was actually good for her growth.

Today, a group of children went to the river to play again. Karin showed the other children her tree climbing ability.

Karin had already started basic training such as climbing trees and treading water. However, she was playful and did not have the ruthlessness of Naruto and Sasuke who would train without regard for their lives. Aoba also did not allow her to strain her body in this way.

So, it took two weeks to complete the tree climbing training.

At this time, of course, I have to show off in front of my friends.

Aoba allowed this little bit of showing off, but he and Yumi strictly prohibited her from revealing the special features of her body.

"No matter what problem you encounter, even if your good friend is injured in front of you, you must never allow him to bite you. Under no circumstances should you reveal this to anyone."

Aoba and Yumi's serious warnings, plus the suffering Karin had endured since childhood, made her very sensitive to this issue. Therefore, even when everyone was playing together, she could still distinguish between the important and the urgent.

But today, Karin seemed a little absent-minded.

Several friends also noticed that something was wrong with Karin.

"Karin, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm... fine. Let's go play somewhere else. I'll teach you how to climb a tree."

"it is good."

A group of children left the river while making a lot of noise.

Karin had something on her mind, so she said goodbye to her friends and returned home before dark. This surprised Aoba and Yumi. Normally, this girl would never come back before dark.

"What's wrong, Karin? Did you have a fight with your friends?"

"No, I..." Karin hesitated. She thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Brother Qingye, I have a secret to tell you."

"What is the secret?"

"It's just..." Karin seemed to have no idea how to describe it.

"Yes, I can see people even when I close my eyes. It's strange, the more I close my eyes, the clearer I can see. And I can see very far away, behind the wall, and in the woods."

Aoba smiled. Of course he knew what was going on. Karin must have awakened Kagura's mind eye.

Kagura's Heart's Eye is a unique ability of the Uzumaki clan. It can be called a special bloodline limit.

Once awakened, one will be able to gain a super strong perception ability. Within a certain range, no creature can escape the perception of Kagura's mind's eye. It is not even much worse than the Byakugan. It's just that the distance is not as far as the Byakugan.

"Don't be afraid. You have awakened a power called Kagura's Heart Eye. This is a good thing. It will give you a strong sense of perception. From now on, no one can ambush or attack you. Because you can sense the enemies hidden around you anytime and anywhere."

"But I feel a little uncomfortable."

The discomfort was because after Kagura's mind's eye awakened, the amount of information her brain needed to receive suddenly increased, causing her to feel a little uncomfortable. This was not a problem, as she would soon be able to adapt over time.

"Is that so? Then can I see what's underground?"

"I'm not sure either. It should be possible. What's wrong? What did you see?"

"I saw people underground. No, they didn't look like people. I don't know what they were, but they were alive. And they moved. They looked so scary."

Aoba's expression suddenly changed. Of course he knew what that thing was. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be a few White Zetsu. They were sent by Obito to monitor Konoha.

White Zetsu possesses a special ninjutsu called the Mayfly Technique. The Mayfly Technique is to merge one's body with the earth and plants to achieve the effect of high-speed movement. It is the unique infiltration technique of White Zetsu and Black Zetsu.

They look like the shells of carnivorous plants, and once they cast this spell, they can become one with the earth.

Then, it moves to any place at high speed by intervening in the organic network such as the roots of plants and groundwater flows that exist in the ground.

During the ninjutsu, all breaths are cut off, and no one can detect the breath of Zetsu. Even the Byakugan is difficult to track them if they are not prepared in advance.

Only with the perception ability of Kagura's mind's eye, which can directly perceive their vitality, can the location of these things be clearly determined.

Aoba squatted down and looked directly at Karin.

“Around our house, can you see those things?”

"No, there aren't any near our house. Usually you'll see them near the Hokage Building and around the school."

"That's good, Karin. Now listen to me. From now on, don't take the initiative to look at those things, understand? Don't take the initiative to look. But remember where they are. And then tell me, understand?"

"I see. Is this a ninja mission?"

"Of course, this is the mission I gave you. The first goal of this mission is to protect yourself from being noticed by those things. The second goal is to remember their locations. The third goal is to notify me if you see that thing very close to the ground."

Aoba knew very early that Konoha was under the surveillance of White Zetsu. Although most of these things were not very powerful, their ability to hide and escape was the best in the ninja world.

With his current strength and technical reserves, he can't do anything about those things.

Karin awakened the Kagura Heart Eye so early, which solved the key problem. He can now control the position of the White Zetsu around Konoha. But because he awakened too early, he was not ready at all.

Under the current conditions, it is still quite difficult to catch that thing.

Most of them were hiding several dozen meters underground. At such a deep distance, not to mention that he was not good at earth escape, even if he had the earth escape of Jiraiya's level, it would be difficult to catch them.

The distance was too deep, and the ninjutsu had not yet taken effect. The opponent might have already dived hundreds of meters underground.

So, he asked Karin to notify him if she found any near the ground.

But even if the opponent gets close to the ground, it is still not safe. Qingye still needs to make more preparations.

White Zetsu is the key link in the next plan. Aoba even suspended all other experiments and began to prepare for the capture of White Zetsu.
