"Huh?!"
Seeing Haruto's expression, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Asuma couldn't help but become serious.
Although Asuma had seen Haruto's antics before, this time, he sensed something different—a rare, solemn tone.
Whatever Haruto was holding had to be something extraordinary!
"This!" Haruto's eyes showed a hint of nostalgia.
"This is a pupil technique called 'Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils!'"
"A pupil technique?!"
The two of them instantly became excited.
The three great Dōjutsu—Rinnegan, Sharingan, and Byakugan—were all incredibly powerful.
And if this technique had emerged from a golden egg, then it must be something special!
"The last owner of this technique was a war god known as the Monkey King!" Haruto said, his tone filled with respect.
"The Great Sage Equaling Heaven?!"
The two looked at Haruto, bewildered.
"Yes!" Haruto nodded. "With these eyes, you will be able to see through all illusions in the ninja world. Nothing can escape your vision—everything will be laid bare!"
"All Transformation Jutsu and Substitution Techniques will be useless against these eyes!" Haruto continued.
"Beyond that, it allows the user to see through the flaws in all Ninjutsu at a glance. It is many times more powerful than the Sharingan!"
"If you don't want it, I'm willing to pay ten times the price for it!" Haruto stroked the scroll with clear reluctance.
This was his childhood dream!
"Haha!" Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed.
For someone like Haruto, who seemed to already possess immense power, to be reluctant to give this away…
That alone proved how valuable this pupil technique must be.
There was no way he was giving it up!
"Old man, let's see how powerful this eye technique really is!" Asuma urged, eager to witness its effects firsthand.
Asuma took the scroll from Haruto, handed it to his father, and carefully explained how to activate it.
"Swish!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen unrolled the scroll, and golden light shot into his eyes.
"Swish!"
In an instant, two beams of golden light burst from his pupils, piercing through the window, across Konoha, and striking the Hokage Monument!
The beams drilled straight through the carved stone, leaving a small hole in his own face on the monument.
"This... this is insane!" Asuma gasped.
"It looks like Shino's Kikaichu Cyclops Technique!"
"Haha!" Haruto shook his head.
"Although the two may seem similar, they are fundamentally different."
"The Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils must be tempered in extremely high temperatures for 49 days before they awaken. That alone makes them far superior to ordinary pupil techniques!"
"Shino's technique is destructive, but it doesn't compare to the versatility of Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils."
"And the most important part..."
"When activated, these eyes consume zero chakra!"
"For that reason alone, no other eye technique can compare!"
Haruto looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, clearly envious.
If only these eyes were mine…
"Hahaha!" Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly laughed.
"Your little shop truly is mystical!"
"Even I feel tempted!" He said meaningfully.
"Haha!" Haruto smirked.
The moment Sarutobi Hiruzen stepped into the store, Haruto had already guessed his intentions.
After all, so many dead bodies had been piled up in front of the shop.
There was no way they were here just to buy eggs.
Besides—Haruto didn't owe anyone an explanation.
Danzo had coveted his golden eggs, tried to rob him, and was simply too weak to survive.
What was there to explain?
"I wonder..." Sarutobi Hiruzen asked cautiously.
"What do you think about the incident in front of your shop last night?"
"Don't ask." Haruto replied casually.
"I did it."
His voice was light—almost indifferent.
"As self-defense. Someone tried to rob my shop, so I dealt with it.
Is there a problem?"
Haruto stared into Sarutobi's eyes, completely unfazed.
"It's really him!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart pounded.
"Come to think of it…"
Haruto suddenly smiled.
"You should be thanking me."
"Ah?!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen hesitated.
If Haruto hadn't eliminated Danzo, he wouldn't have discovered the monstrous crimes Danzo had been committing.
This was beyond treason.
"Haha!" Haruto sneered.
"You think that's all he was hiding?"
"How naïve."
Sarutobi's eyes widened.
"Your weakness let him exploit you, which is why he got away with it for so long."
"You should take one more look at Danzo's right eye. I think you'll find a little surprise."
Haruto's smirk widened.
"What?!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked.
"His right eye is also…?!"
Without hesitation, he summoned an Anbu operative and gave him a whispered order.
The Anbu disappeared.
Moments later, he returned.
As the Anbu reported back, Sarutobi's expression darkened.
"Danzo…!!!"
His teeth clenched.
He had never been this furious.
He wanted to dig up Danzo's body and kill him all over again.
This traitor had violated everything Konoha stood for!
"How did you know?!"
Sarutobi glared at Haruto.
"I already told you." Haruto leaned back lazily.
"You're too weak."
"That's why Danzo could walk all over you."
Asuma, who had been silent, finally spoke up.
"Boss. Old man. What are you talking about?!"
Sarutobi hesitated.
Should he really say it out loud?
"Are you still trying to protect Danzo?" Haruto sneered.
Sarutobi's body tensed.
He wanted to cover this up.
But wasn't this attitude the very reason Danzo had gone unchecked for so long?
Taking a deep breath, he finally spoke.
"In Danzo's right eye…"
His voice was filled with anger.
"…was Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan."
"What?!"
Asuma froze, as if struck by lightning.
He stood there, completely stunned.
