Chapter 252

He truly wanted to see how far his employer could grow.

In his heart, he believed that, at the very least, the growth would match the level of Uchiha Madara when he was forced out of Konoha.

"Is this really something a human can do?"

Sasuke, Naruto, and Karin had snapped back to reality. Even now, their bodies trembled, as they couldn't forget the scene they had just witnessed.

However, as everything began to settle down, they started to observe their surroundings.

The whole situation filled them with immense fear and awe.

They couldn't imagine that someone who seemed so harmonious in the village, always wearing a smile for everyone, could be such a terrifying entity.

Even though they had already felt the terror during their regular training sessions with this person, that kind of terror was meant for their growth and didn't hold any malicious intent.

But the terror they felt now was a true, soul-deep awe-inspiring power.

"This power is truly evil."

The Nine-Tails, who had always been hidden inside Naruto and was sealed even tighter with the help of Jiraiya, now stared at the outside world with a serious expression.

He had woken up long ago and had been observing everything through Naruto's eyes, especially since he sensed Uchiha Madara's chakra.

The Nine-Tails harbored immense hatred for Uchiha Madara. In simple terms, back in the day, while he was enjoying hotpot and singing songs, he was suddenly captured by Madara.

Not just captured, he was then used to fight against Senju Hashirama. Anyone would despair at such an ordeal!

Especially when the Nine-Tails was treated like a pet by Uchiha Madara, which only increased his disgust and hatred towards him.

Moreover, he had grown to despise the entire Uchiha clan.

So, the moment he felt Uchiha Madara's chakra, he was fully alert and closely monitoring the external changes.

To be honest, seeing such destructive power didn't particularly shock him, because if given the preparation, he believed he could achieve it too.

After all, he is the Nine-Tails, the most powerful of all Tailed Beasts. His power is indeed unimaginable.

At this moment, he was filled with a raging aura within, having already sensed that the young boy named Kaito was still alive.

This boy was the one he feared and loathed the most, for in his eyes, Kaito might become another Uchiha Madara in the future!

Meanwhile, in the distance, Orochimaru, covered in slime, emerged from the ground. His gaze was somewhat gloomy as he observed his surroundings.

The flattened mountains and the chakra that continued to ripple around made him feel greatly uneasy and threatened.

He lightly licked his lips, seemingly wanting to say something, but at that moment, he seemed unable to speak.

Coincidentally, in another direction, Kisame and Sasori were also looking at the scene with indifference.

At this point, they no longer had the courage to continue searching for traces of Kaito.

"Is this the power of the Eternal Eyes?"

Kaito stood still, recuperating while quietly feeling the power of his newly obtained eyes.

The strength contained within these eyes exceeded Kaito's expectations, and he couldn't help but marvel at the system's capabilities.

In fact, Kaito had always been unsure about how the so-called fusion of eyes was achieved.

Based on the novels he read before he transmigrated, there were instances where characters directly replaced their eyes with someone else's or absorbed the power of another's eyes through special means.

However, both scenarios seemed a bit off to Kaito.

If one replaces their eyes with another's, then naturally, there would be a pair of original eyes left behind.

So, if one were to exchange eyes with someone else, wouldn't that mean two pairs of Eternal Eyes would suddenly appear?

Such a game-breaking action seemed unrealistic. While absorbing the eye's power made some sense, Kaito had never seen such a technique.

Furthermore, Kaito had long speculated that combining two Mangekyou Sharingan results in one pair of Eternal Eyes, and only siblings in the original story achieved this.

Hence, Kaito surmised that the Eternal Eyes were split into two parts, given to two brothers.

In that case, to reclaim such power, one would need to take the other person's eye.

"Then, physically merging these two eyes, allowing them to fully integrate to achieve the final activation?"

Kaito shuddered at the thought. Of course, he wasn't entirely sure about all this, but he genuinely felt this way just a moment ago.

He felt as if a pair of eyes had been stuffed into his sockets, and with the system's assistance, these eyes quickly fused together.

He didn't have to lay dormant like Sasuke, who took over a month to see the light of day again.

In fact, lying dormant for over a month might be a blessing, considering the immense feedback and transformation that a brand-new pair of eyes brings to the body.

Spending more time adapting to the body's changes and allowing it to gradually merge with such powerful strength is actually quite good.

However, upon closer thought, Kaito might not need such waiting since his body had been previously modified.

Even if his body is still undergoing continuous modifications, it won't have any adverse effect on him.

He could even clearly feel that his body was getting stronger step by step!

"Yet, this kind of enhancement seems to overlap with another kind of promotion."

Kaito murmured to himself, and the next moment, the system's interface appeared on his retina.

[Ascension Tier Upgraded]

[The Ascension Tier is divided into three stages: Ascendance, Zealous, and Transcendent]

[Current Host Level – Zealous]

[Zealous: Increases bloodline repair intensity and allows one to start trying to control latent powers]

[Friendly Reminder: Amplifying bloodline repair intensity is a massive task, requiring a long time, estimated time three years]

[The host can accelerate the upgrading process through increasing their own power, or actively understanding and realizing the strength]

[Congratulations on the host's power promotion, reaching the level of the Eternal Eyes]

[Due to the host's advancement, you've received a reward of 2,000 Prosperity Points]

[The host can obtain two skill draws, do you wish to acquire them now?]

Upon seeing his Ascension Tier once again enhanced, Kaito was naturally overjoyed.

After all, the Ascension Tier is crucial for his continuous advancement in the future and determines whether he can possess the power of the Ōtsutsuki.

Moreover, he noticed a key point in the system's description: he could begin to try and control latent powers!

What exactly is this so-called latent power? Kaito didn't ponder it for long; he understood, especially since he could now feel it.

This latent power refers to Yin Release and Yang Release!

In fact, after Kaito activated the Mangekyō, he had already sensed the presence of these two powers, but the problem was he couldn't utilize them.

And with his continuous enhancement of his physical capabilities and attaining the Ascension Tier, such powers were no secret to him.

Most importantly, he had personally strengthened his Yang Release. The boost the Yang Release gave him, stemming from bravery, was genuinely substantial.

So, he was truly familiar with Yang Release, even being able to pinpoint their exact locations. 

However, being able to sense and perceive them didn't mean he could use them. He could only passively observe these powers in action.

But now, things seemed different. According to the system, he could fully control and use these two powers!

However, Kaito's elation didn't last long. The system's second piece of information made the corners of his mouth twitch involuntarily.

After all his efforts and battles with five seals, of which four appeared in pairs and one was exceptionally formidable, all he got was 2,000 Prosperity Points and only two skill draws? Wasn't this being too stingy?

But no matter how miserly, Kaito genuinely had no way to complain about the system. After all, even the Mangekyō was valued at only 1,000 points by it.

Perhaps, in the system's eyes, his personal power boost wasn't as valuable as the overall growth of his clan.

Still, Kaito wasn't too bothered by it. Having the opportunity to draw two skills, he didn't have much to complain about.

Although, for his current state, his power was already immensely strong, and his need for new skills wasn't as intense as one might imagine.

But when someone brings food right to your mouth, wouldn't you at least take a bite?

With this thought, Kaito was about to make his draw. However, at that moment, he slightly furrowed his brow.

He felt someone rapidly approaching his location.

He didn't choose to use his perception ability to investigate, nor did he close his eyes. In an instant, he turned his head, his eerie eyes slowly rotating.

"Quickly, he's over here!"

Under Karin's guiding perception, a large group of people rapidly moved towards Kaito's location.
