Naruto: I'm in Konoha, my name is Uzumaki Menma

Chapter 111 The Nemesis of the White Eye

"Why! Why won't you even spare my pregnant wife and unborn child!" The man cried out hoarsely, his hunched figure trembling in the dust.

The other villagers were indeed frightened by those red eyes, and some timidly avoided his gaze.

But some villagers pointed at his eyes and said, "See! I told you the Ranya family had something going on!"

"No wonder people came knocking on our door, it turns out it's a monster!"

"You jinx! Get out of the village!"

"Sir, we will hand over the Lan family to you immediately, please spare our village!"

The villagers were making a ruckus, completely disregarding the fact that the man's family, whom they were about to hand over, had lived in the village for over a decade.

The frail man, abandoned by the villagers, dug his fingernails deep into the soil and turned to the mysterious man for help.

Lan Ya crawled on all fours to Mianma's feet, kowtowing repeatedly: "My lord! Please spare my pregnant wife! If you want this bloodline, I'll go with you!"

Menma looked down at Ranya, who was begging for his wife and children to survive, and felt a little disappointed.

The once-renowned Red-Eyed Bloodline Limit Clan, known as the nemesis of the Byakugan, has fallen to the point where only this one person remains, and they have even lost their clan's secret techniques. When they encounter a stronger ninja, they can only frantically wag their tails and beg for mercy, hoping that the other party will have mercy and spare their family.

By this time, the other villagers had already captured Lan Ya's wife.

The pregnant woman was treated roughly, but the villagers felt no shame. Instead, they looked at the mysterious man with fawning expressions, hoping to exchange it for peace in the village.

"How pathetic." Menma's eerie voice came from behind the mask as he tossed a kunai in front of Ranya.

"If you want to live, regain your dignity as a ninja." This voice, like a demon from hell, haunted Ranya's ears.

He glanced at his pregnant wife, who was trembling with fear beside him, and at the group of villagers behind him who had pushed them out. His right hand trembled as he picked up the kunai from the ground.

Memories hidden for over a decade began to resurface in his mind. Even though this branch of red-eyed orphans had not been involved in war for many years, the instinct of a ninja still flowed in Ranya's blood.

With red eyes, Ranya gripped a kunai in his right hand and, relying on the instincts triggered by his bloodline limit, created a series of illusions, shielding the villagers from his senses.

Then--

The skinny Ranya moved effortlessly among the villagers, slicing their necks open with kunai.

Blood splattered and stained Lan Shi's coarse cloth clothes.

Ranya's blood-red pupils reflected the village that had raised him for over twenty years, yet had also personally pushed him into the abyss.

Menma simply lowered his mask, coldly watching Ranya's revenge.

Even if Menma doesn't appear, a few years later, Ranya and his wife will die of illness, and their child Ranmaru will be regarded as an omen of bad luck by the villagers because he has awakened his bloodline limit, and will be ostracized and abused.

If Raiga Kurosuki hadn't accidentally stumbled into this village while chasing a rogue ninja, Ranmaru's fate might have been even worse.

The villagers of this village will also be slaughtered by Kurozu Raiya that night.

This is merely bringing the tragedy to an early close.

After killing more than a dozen villagers, Lan Ya did not completely eradicate the village.

Covered in blood, Lan Yi walked shakily to his wife's side, embraced her who was also trembling from shock, and looked pleadingly at the mysterious masked man.

"Let's go." Menma didn't care how many villagers Ranya had killed in his revenge; he just wanted the bloodline limit of the red-eyed Ranya. With that, Menma placed his hands on Ranya and his wife's shoulders and cast the Flying Thunder God Technique.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the capital of the Star Kingdom.

In the cold light of the medical laboratory at the Star Ninja Base, Menma stared intently at the crimson eyeball suspended in a glass dish.

He exclaimed in admiration, "What a pair of eyes, as bright as rubies!"

Lan Ya, wearing a white coat, lay on the hospital bed while several shadow clones with numb faces were busy transplanting a pair of bright eyes into him.

"I'll take your red eye. In exchange, I'll provide you with a pair of ordinary eyes, as well as protection and a good birthing environment for your wife. In the future, your clan will serve me for generations." Menma didn't like owing anyone, even if it was taking his red eye from Ranya, a fallen bloodline limit ninja clan orphan.

"I only ask that you, my lord, allow my wife and children to live an ordinary life. I will dedicate my entire life to you, my lord." After the surgery, with his eyes covered by gauze, Lan Ya turned his head slightly in the direction from which the numb voice came.

“Your physical condition is too poor. The burden of activating the Red Eye will only hold you back… Never mind, you’ll understand later.” Menma didn’t go into details. Ranya had been an ordinary person for over twenty years and had never received any proper ninja training. Activating the Red Eye was entirely based on instinct.

Considering that Ranmaru's health has always been poor, and he is sometimes so weak that he cannot walk, Menma has reason to suspect that their clan's bloodline is severely diluted, which makes it impossible for them to bear the power of the bloodline limit after awakening the red eyes.

Just like the Shikotsumyaku of the Kaguya clan, the stronger the Shikotsumyaku, the more severe the bloodline disease.

Moreover, Ranya had no other choice but to follow Menma's arrangements.

After the shadow clone pushed Ranya's hospital bed out of the laboratory and into the ward, Menma removed the white three-eyed fox mask.

Little Nine-Tail peeked out from its fur collar, staring curiously at the two red eyes floating in the pale green liquid in Menma's glass test tube: "Hey, Menma, I've never seen this before."

"Of course you haven't seen it." Menma removed his left eye and replaced it with a red one.

Injecting chakra to link with the red eye, and experiencing the new perspective presented by the red eye, Menma recalled a guess.

The bloodline limits of the ninja world can all be traced back to Kaguya Otsutsuki, including the Byakugan, Sharingan, Red Eye, and Blood Dragon Eye. There may even be other bloodline limits for different eyes that have appeared in the thousand-year history of the ninja world.

They can all be traced back to the Ōtsutsuki clan.

After the Warring States period ended, the Byakugan and Sharingan became famous throughout the ninja world, while the Red Eye and Blood Dragon Eye almost disappeared.

The red-eyed ability is just right to counter the white-eyed ability.

Its eye technique can create chakra illusions, interfering with the Byakugan's observation based on the human body's chakra meridians, and even preventing Byakugan users from noticing the approach of Red-Eye users.

Furthermore, it can see through objects like the Byakugan, and sense chakra and danger.

The chakra phantoms created by the red-eyed have no physical form and no offensive capabilities; they can only be used for interference. Combined with the Hidden Mist Technique, they are indeed very difficult to dispel.

This chakra phantom reminded Menma of a dojutsu that Madara Uchiha had used—'Limbo: Border Jail'!
The shadows created by Limbo: Border Jail are undetectable to ordinary ninjas, and even sensory ninjas cannot perceive them; only those with the Rinnegan can see these shadows.

The chakra phantom created by the red-eyed is like a weakened version of Limbo: Border Jail, weakened to the point of losing its offensive capabilities and only serving to interfere with the perception of enemies.

The advancement of the Byakugan is the Tenseigan, the advancement of the Sharingan is the Rinnegan, so what about the advancement of the Red Eye and the Blood Dragon Eye?

"Hmm, I have the Sharingan, and I have the Red Eye. Next, I need to collect the Byakugan and the Blood Dragon Eye." Menma, experiencing the new vision of the Red Eye, began to think about Orochimaru's cloning technology.

After all, there are only one or two members left of the Red-Eyed and Blood Dragon-Eyed clans. It would be too slow for them to reproduce normally, so it would be faster to use cloning technology.

"But I have to go to the Hyuga clan's territory to keep my appointment first." The time on the notice is approaching.
