Chapter 85: Red Eyes, B-Rank Mission Reward
"Hehe, you should still use Shadow Clone Jutsu! Anyway, with the doorknob as a safety net, even if something goes wrong, it won't be a big problem." Ishikawa suggested, looking at the somewhat bewildered Nohara Rin. "By the way, to be on the safe side, I still suggest you remove that eye first as a backup."
"Shadow clones..." Nohara Rin slapped her forehead upon hearing this, suddenly realizing that she had indeed been too caught up in the situation to notice this.
But Ishikawa probably already expected this; he actually teased her like that earlier, what a despicable guy!
Giving Ishikawa a disgruntled glare, Nohara Rin immediately removed Ranmaru's eye, along with its axial length, and placed it in a nutrient solution. Then, without pausing, she touched the doorknob to restore her stamina and chakra, maintaining her peak condition.
'Red Eyes - Open...'
Two minutes later, the instant Nohara Rin formed hand seals to create a clone, Ishikawa's pupils changed, and he activated his X-ray vision, staring intently at his opponent.
Of course, Ishikawa wasn't so bored as to use his X-ray vision to see through a girl's body. Instead, he used it to see through Nohara Rin's meridians and observe the real-time path of chakra flow when ninjutsu was activated.
The Sharingan can copy an opponent's ninjutsu because it simultaneously copies the chakra flow and hand seals when the opponent uses the ninjutsu.
Of course, this also requires the same attributes and one's own mastery of chakra control and nature transformation.
Therefore, although those with stronger insight, such as the Byakugan or Red-Eyed, cannot copy instantly, they can still accelerate learning by seeing through the chakra flow path using their X-ray vision.
As an ordinary extra, who wouldn't want a cultivation accelerator? Ishikawa certainly couldn't resist the temptation.
This is also one of the important reasons why Ishikawa had red eyes transplanted...
[Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect that Rin's chakra would be three times mine after just one month. She should be able to easily unleash two Rasengans now!] Looking at Nohara Rin's chakra of about 0.6 calories, Ishikawa couldn't help but feel envious.
As for creating a clone? Heh! He doesn't have that idea yet. Ishikawa mainly wants to see if the Palm Healing Technique can speed up the completion of this technique.
Having survived two life-or-death crises, Ishikawa has come to understand the principle of not trying to learn too much at once. He will no longer be overly ambitious and try to learn everything, only to end up learning nothing...
"Palm Immortal Technique..." A few minutes later, as Lin's clone transplanted her red eyes and activated the Palm Immortal Technique, Ishikawa immediately increased his pupil power and stared carefully at the shadow clone.
Although it is a clone, the chakra circulation and application are exactly the same. After the deep analysis of the red-eyed one and facing the essence, Ishikawa finally found the various problems with his Healing Jutsu.
It's like the wind blowing through a foggy mountain, suddenly revealing a winding road leading straight to the summit.
"Is this the X-ray vision of red-eyed people? It feels like my vision is shrouded in a red mist, and I can see things clearly even a kilometer or two away. And it's not the 180° field of vision I expected, but a wide field of view of about 270°." Before long, Nohara Rin stared at the wall with her right eye bloodshot, looking like a Terminator, and was full of surprise.
“Of course, the perspectives of the two eyes will overlap. Even though red eyes have a 360° field of vision, each eye doesn’t necessarily have an evenly distributed 180° field of vision.” Ishikawa agreed wholeheartedly, having been pleasantly surprised by it himself.
While 270° isn't a 360° all-around view, it's sufficient for them! Their primary need is to gain intelligence on the enemy; if their line of sight isn't enough, they can simply turn their heads...
"Well, it's about time. I should go and fuse with the red eye, otherwise it will be troublesome if I can't control this eye." Nohara Rin gave Ishikawa a sweet smile and quickly stepped forward to touch the doorknob to remove the rejection reaction.
With this eye, she now has absolute confidence in changing the fate of the Water Gate team!
"Hmm, I should start practicing the Palm Healing Technique too." Seeing that there were still about ten minutes left, Ishikawa immediately made the time to form hand seals according to the chakra circulation path he had just seen.
As for worrying that the red-eyed chakra consumption will affect training? Well, the fact that Ishikawa could watch Rin's clone use the Palm Healing Technique for several minutes already speaks volumes.
His red eyes now functioned as effortlessly as his own power! It took him about five minutes of continuous use to consume one-tenth of his chakra, and there was no further consumption after he turned them off.
This is a world of difference compared to before!
Furthermore, as Nohara Rin merged with the red eye, Ishikawa clearly saw the change that was perfectly integrated with the color of her own chakra.
This means that the red eyes have truly become their own power. It's not a transplanted mark that can be seen through with the Byakugan, like those of Kirigakure Ao or Danzo.
[As expected, answering questions from an open book is so satisfying!!] A moment later, Ishikawa was overjoyed as he looked at the green glow igniting in his hands. At this rate of cultivation, he was confident that he could complete the Palm Immortal Technique within a few days.
Realizing that completing the Palm Healing Technique would allow him to fully focus on cultivating the nature transformation of Lightning Release, Ishikawa immediately concentrated on continuing to cultivate the Palm Healing Technique.
Time slipped away quietly as Ishikawa diligently practiced and Nohara Rin familiarized herself with the movements of the red-eyed monster...
The following morning, Class 7 gathered at the designated meeting point.
"What?! This mission actually offers a reward of ten thousand taels of silver?"
"Lord Hokage, you must be mistaken. This is almost as good as the reward for a previous A-rank mission!"
Upon receiving the mission reward distributed by Kakashi, Taro and Jiro exclaimed in surprise and disbelief at this unexpected windfall.
Not to mention them, even Ishikawa was slightly taken aback at this moment!
A C-rank mission rewards 10,000 ryo? Don't the village and Kakashi, the supervising Jonin, get a cut?
"Well! This mission has been upgraded to a B-rank mission by the client, so the reward has been increased accordingly." Kakashi maintained his lazy attitude, which made the three of them suspicious again.
If a Rank B mission rewards 10,000 taels, then why did the previous Rank A mission also reward 10,000 taels?
Seemingly noticing the three's confusion, Kakashi shrugged and spoke again, "The previous A-rank missions were village-level missions, where the mission rank was more significant than the reward. Therefore, the reward for those missions was naturally less than that for commissioned missions. After all, Lady Tsunade is one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, and there's no danger in contacting her."
"I see..." Upon hearing Kakashi's answer, Tarojiro suddenly understood and immediately put the banknotes away happily, about to put them in his pocket.
"Give it to me!" But at that very moment, two hands suddenly appeared and snatched the reward envelopes from the two men.
With his two underlings staring in disbelief, Ishikawa carefully pocketed the reward and stuffed it into his ninja tool pouch. "Consider this my reward for saving you guys. I sacrificed a ninja hawk and fifty explosive tags to save your boss!"
"What? We have to pay compensation for this too?? Brother, we're completely dependent on this meager salary to make ends meet! We're so poor..."
"Big brother, could you lower the price a bit? Besides, as the eldest brother, isn't it only right that you save us?"
After a moment of stunned silence, Taro and Jiro simultaneously let out mournful cries and howls!
Ten thousand taels, that's a full ten thousand taels... Brother, you're really ripping me off...
