<div>
Shin closed his eyes. After using the Advanced Replication Card to copy Ryota''s Mangekyō Sharingan, his eyes stung.
<div>
<div>
He could feel the immense ocular power surging within him, pushing past his limits. It was like staying up for days without sleep.
<div>
<div>
After about a minute, a soothing coolness spread through his eyes. His Mangekyō Sharingan''s pattern shifted, evolving into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
<div>
<div>
His ocular power, already greater than that of most Mangekyō Sharingan users, increased tenfold. It felt limitless.
<div>
<div>
"Shin, are you alright?"
<div>
<div>
Kushina and Mikoto asked worriedly, seeing him suddenly close his eyes.
<div>
<div>
"I''m fine," Shin said with a smile, reassuring them.
<div>
<div>
He was more than fine. He felt amazing. The evolution of his Sharingan had brought about a significant transformation.
<div>
<div>
His already vast Chakra reserves increased further. He even felt physically stronger.
<div>
<div>
This was understandable. The evolution of the Sharingan enhanced the user''s Chakra and physical abilities. And his Perfect Sage Body synergized perfectly with the Sharingan.
<div>
<div>
With both the Perfect Sage Body and the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, he might even be able to awaken the Rinnegan on his own.
<div>
<div>
He didn''t know if he needed Indra and Asura''s Chakra for that, though. If he did, it would be troublesome.
<div>
<div>
But it was too early to think about that. He had just awakened the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan; the Rinnegan was still a distant goal.
<div>
<div>
"Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi... The same as Sasuke Uchiha''s."
<div>
<div>
Shin muttered to himself.
<div>
<div>
He had copied Ryota''s Mangekyō Sharingan, including his abilities. Ryota''s abilities were Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi. Shin was a bit disappointed. They weren''t bad abilities, but they weren''t what he had hoped for.
<div>
<div>
"I thought everyone''s Mangekyō Sharingan abilities were unique. Why does this guy have the same ones as Sasuke?"
<div>
<div>
Shin was frustrated. He had been hoping for some unique and powerful abilities.
<div>
<div>
The Sharingan was a reflection of the heart. Perhaps Ryota and Sasuke had similar desires.This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
<div>
<div>
"Shin, what are you muttering about? That guy''s leaving."
<div>
<div>
Kushina''s words snapped him out of his thoughts.
<div>
<div>
Shin glanced at Ryota, who was indeed leaving. He had achieved his goal; there was no need to attack Ryota.
<div>
<div>
But he wasn''t going to let Ryota go that easily. They had a history, after all. Shin had a good memory.
<div>
<div>
"Can''t let him escape. Follow him."
<div>
<div>
Shin said to Kushina and Mikoto.
<div>
<div>
"But we haven''t finished eating..." Kushina complained.
<div>
<div>
"We can eat later. We''ll have something even better after this. Let''s go."
<div>
<div>
Shin dragged Kushina along, and Mikoto followed.
<div>
<div>
Shin wasn''t trying to hide, and Ryota, being cautious, noticed them.
<div>
<div>
"More flies buzzing around, huh?" Ryota scoffed, then headed towards the forest outside the village.
<div>
<div>
He was being hunted by many; he didn''t want to cause a commotion. He would deal with them in the forest.
<div>
<div>
Ryota waited in the forest. Shin didn''t bother hiding.
<div>
<div>
With the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, there was no need to sneak around to deal with Ryota. That would be embarrassing.
<div>
<div>
"Three brats? I think I''ve seen you before."
<div>
<div>
Ryota glared at Shin, Kushina, and Mikoto.
<div>
<div>
"Shin, I want revenge," Kushina said.
<div>
<div>
She hadn''t forgotten how Ryota had intimidated her with his killing intent.
<div>
<div>
She was vindictive. This was her chance for revenge.
<div>
<div>
"Okay, I''ll help you," Shin agreed. Ryota''s strongest asset was his Mangekyō Sharingan, but it was nothing to Shin.
<div>
<div>
How effective could the Mangekyō Sharingan be when suppressed by the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan?
<div>
<div>
Besides, Shin already knew Ryota''s abilities. Know yourself, know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
<div>
<div>
"Shin, be careful of his Mangekyō Sharingan abilities," Mikoto warned. She didn''t know that Shin already knew Ryota''s abilities.
<div>
<div>
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"
<div>
<div>
A massive fireball, over ten meters in diameter, shot towards them. Ryota had mastered this Jutsu.
<div>
<div>
The fireball collided with an ice wall. Shin''s Ice Wall was far stronger than Ryota''s Fireball Jutsu.
<div>
<div>
The flames melted the ice slightly, but it would take ten more fireballs to break through.
<div>
<div>
"Ice Release? Aren''t you an Uzumaki?"
<div>
<div>
Ryota was surprised. He vaguely remembered Shin and Kushina being Uzumaki.
<div>
<div>
"Can''t an Uzumaki use Ice Release? An Uzumaki can even use the Sharingan."
<div>
<div>
Shin activated his three-tomoe Sharingan. Ryota was stunned.
<div>
<div>
Ice Release was one thing, but the Sharingan? That was impossible.
<div>
<div>
The Sharingan was a bloodline limit, a Kekkei Genkai.
<div>
<div>
It could be transplanted, but a transplanted Sharingan couldn''t be deactivated. Ryota knew this. Shin''s Sharingan wasn''t transplanted; it was his own.
<div>
<div>
"How can you have the Sharingan?" Ryota asked.
<div>
<div>
"Why should I answer that?"
<div>
<div>
Ryota didn''t press further. There was no point.
<div>
<div>
He activated his Mangekyō Sharingan. He was serious now. Shin''s display of Ice Release and the Sharingan had forced him to take Shin seriously.
<div>
<div>
Ryota''s Mangekyō Sharingan had a pattern of three connected sickles, similar to Obito''s.
<div>
<div>
Mikoto felt a wave of pressure.
