In the dim laboratory, Orochimaru stared at the blind boy before him with his vertical pupils, his whole body trembling with excitement.
"Hahahaha, how many people spend their entire lives pursuing the Rinnegan, unaware that some families' simple mutations are their lifelong quest.
Well, now, little one, your eyes are mine!"
With that, Orochimaru suddenly stretched out his fingers and gouged out the child's eyeballs...
Boundless pain ripped through Hinata Lanmo's eyes. He stared at Orochimaru in horror, cursing inwardly.
What was going on?
He was clearly sleeping at home? How could he be here?
And wasn't that Orochimaru in front of him?
He just said he had the Rinnegan?
Hinata Lanmo had traveled through time and space, and was well-versed in the Naruto plot. Of course, he knew who he was, and what the Rinnegan was.
But was Orochimaru crazy?
Everyone in Konoha knew that Hinata Lanmo was blind, born blind, a good-for-nothing, a disgrace and accident to the Hyuga family, even worse than an ordinary person. How could he have become the one to possess the Rinnegan?
Indeed, every child born into the Hyuga family is born with the Byakugan eye.
But Hyuga Lanmo, a blind man, possesses none.
It's unimaginable that even he, like the infamous Orochimaru, would be so enchanting!
A sharp pain emanated from his eyeballs...
"Ding, the mirror system has detected an external intrusion.
Mirror bloodline host, please tell me if you want to fight back.
If you don't, your eyeball will be gouged out.
If your eyeball is gouged out, the system will self-destruct..."
"Fight back, fight back..." Hyuga Lanmo's head ached, and before he could even begin to react to the system's actions, he spoke.
"Mirror system protects its master.
Step one: Mirror counterattack, mirror illusion transformation..."
Hyuga Lanmo's eyes flashed blue-white.
Orochimaru stared at those watery eyes, their greedy gaze fixed on his.
Suddenly, the mirror image shifted, and he collapsed to the ground.
Then he began to hallucinate.
He saw himself standing before him, saying, "Little one, your eyes are mine!"
In this illusion, he transformed into Hinata Lanmo.
The imaginary Orochimaru reached out his fingers and dug into his eyes.
Intense pain filled every cell of his body...
"What, what's going on?"
Aren't members of the Hyuga family forbidden from using illusions?
How could this happen?
After saying this, he fell silent.
Meanwhile, Hinata Lanmo rubbed his eyes and jumped out of bed.
A system had appeared in his mind, and at the same time, he saw the system interface in his mind.
"I apologize, host.
The mirror system is late. Host, are you fully awakened?"
"Awake?"
Although he was a time traveler, he had no idea that his body had a "mirror system."
"Yes, host.
This system has been successfully bound to you since birth, but it has been dormant.
Just now, due to the danger, it suddenly awakened. Host, are you fully awakened?"
The system's mechanical voice echoed.
"Fully awaken!"
Hinata Lanmo frowned as he watched Orochimaru struggling on the ground. He was only five years old, and he had to protect himself.
And just now, a single mirror counterattack had actually knocked down a powerful figure like Orochimaru.
He believed this system should be quite good!
Ding, congratulations to the sole heir of the Mirror Bloodline.
The Mirror System has successfully awakened...
