Chapter 18
The moment Kaito opened his eyes, he could distinctly feel just how terrifying the surging power in his eyes truly was.
That cold, oppressive, and destructive power burst forth, making even him feel apprehensive.
However, the emanating aura of these powers was quickly brought under control by Kaito and rapidly converged.
Yet Kaito could tell that his control over these powers was still quite unpracticed. But he wasn't overly concerned. After all, he had just activated the Mangekyou Sharingan.
The Mangekyou Sharingan was not something you could master as soon as you activated it. Like other levels of the Sharingan, it also required continuous practice and exploration.
The fastest way to become proficient in controlling one's own Mangekyou Sharingan is through battle, as was perfectly demonstrated by Sasuke in the original work.
But Kaito didn't dare to emulate Sasuke's approach. That kid managed to blind himself in less than a month after obtaining the Mangekyou.
Kaito could never accept such a method. Sasuke was fearless because he had Itachi Uchiha's eyes as a backup, he wouldn't care about how recklessly he used his powers.
Kaito is all alone at this point. His parents have already fallen in the war, making it impossible for them to give him a sibling.
Of course, even if he had siblings, he wouldn't be capable of doing anything drastic. In other words, Kaito simply doesn't have the resources to take risks like Sasuke.
"But maybe that's not entirely true, after all, I have this system. Perhaps I could draw something that could restore my powers," Kaito muttered to himself.
He stood still, not moving from the spot, the memory of the pain still fresh in his mind. He needed some time to recover.
Moreover, some interesting information had surfaced in his mind, which he needed to carefully examine.
The first piece of information was about his Mangekyou Sharingan. These bits of knowledge had suddenly appeared in Kaito's mind the moment these eyes were unveiled.
And this information pertained to the powers of Kaito's Mangekyou Sharingan!
The abilities of the Mangekyou are shaped by the greatest obsessions in one's heart before unlocking these eyes.
Before unlocking these eyes, Kaito had been incessantly desiring to attain greater power, to amass more strength. This was to ensure that his future would be secure.
And his deepest desires had indeed bestowed his eyes with corresponding powers.
The power of his left eye was called Reverse Path. This ability could ease the difficulty of using Susanoo!
Susanoo, being the most potent and perilous ability of the Mangekyou Sharingan, is extremely challenging to unlock and tremendously draining to the user.
Under normal circumstances, someone who has just unlocked the Mangekyou Sharingan wouldn't be able to use Susanoo. Only after a period of acclimation would it be feasible to use.
However, with the assistance of Reverse Path, Kaito could sense that even now, he might be capable of activating Susanoo.
However, this would likely only be the most basic stage of Susanoo, the one without a humanoid form, merely the ribcage for self-protection. But even at this initial stage, its defensive capabilities are undeniably impressive.
The power of his right eye was called Reverse Path. This ability could enhance the potency of all his techniques!
Yes, the power of all techniques.
Whether it's Genjutsu, Ninjutsu, or even Taijutsu, as long as they're under the augmentation of this ability, their potency would be significantly amplified.
In other words, this technique is somewhat similar to Sage Mode, though he wasn't entirely sure how much the specifics differed. After all, he didn't possess the Sage Mode.
"These two abilities truly enhance power to the extreme, but why does it feel like they are Uchiha Madara's abilities?"
After carefully feeling the power brought about by his juvenile force, Kaito's expression turned somewhat odd.
In the original works, Uchiha Madara's juvenile technique's abilities weren't explicitly explained, but the impression Uchiha Madara left on the world could be summed up in one word - 'powerful'!
A powerful offensive capability, formidable ninjutsu ability, and that overwhelmingly potent Susanoo.
No matter when or where, his mere presence suffices to generate an unparalleled sense of pressure, enabling people to easily perceive his power.
But beneath his tremendous abilities, the techniques he primarily employs are quite conventional, the only juvenile technique he uses being Susanoo.
This indeed made Kaito wonder if Uchiha Madara's Mangekyou Sharingan abilities were essentially just these two.
One is to reduce the usage limitations of Susanoo. That fellow managed to bring Susanoo nearly to its highest level even without the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
The other one is naturally the amplification of his own abilities in all aspects. Some ninjutsu, relying on the accumulation of chakra, can still reach a frighteningly powerful level.
But the quality of a ninjutsu will not be changed unless there's a specific technique that can enhance the quality of ninjutsu!
"Nevermind, whether or not these techniques overlap with Uchiha Madara's juvenile ones, at least now I have techniques that belong to me. And these two techniques are incredibly useful to me."
Although Kaito didn't receive anything flashy like "Kamui" or "Amaterasu", the abilities he obtained were very practical, leaving him tremendously satisfied.
As for the second piece of information, it was about the system. After Kaito completed the "True Evolution", his system had given a prompt, which he hadn't yet taken a look at.
[Congratulations to the host for acquiring the Mangekyou Sharingan]
[Mangekyou Sharingan is a pair of powerful eyes. With these eyes, the host can better salvage the disintegrating family]
[Congratulations to the host for significantly improving your strength by awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, and receiving a thousand points]
[Current Binding: Uchiha Clan]
[Current Status: Extremely Poor - The family is in a state of severe internal strife, and there are villains lurking around]
[Prosperity: 10848 (The base prosperity of a normal family is 10000)]
[Note: Although the prosperity exceeds the normal standard, it is due to the individual strength of the host and Shisui, which is unstable]
[Suggestion: End the family's state of division as soon as possible, stabilize the internal environment of the family, and unite the people who can unite to face the difficulties together]
[Congratulations to the host for receiving a thousand points and an opportunity to select an ability]
[Sword Technique·Water Bird Dance: The sword technique altered from a water swordsman's, agile like a water bird, and can control wind (Wind release affinity can be obtained through the skill if not present)]
[Earth Release·Granite Shield: Can use Earth Release to construct a chakra defensive shield to offset damage once (Earth release affinity can be obtained through the skill if not present)]
[Water Release·Walk on Waves: In water, you and your teammates will gain extremely high movement speed (Water release affinity can be obtained through the skill if not present)]
Looking at this series of system prompts, Kaito felt somewhat bewildered but also increasingly elated inside!
So, reaching the Mangekyou level awards one thousand points. While Kaito felt this was a bit scanty, considering the system even has a rule like 'one Jonin is equal to 2.5 Chunin', he reckoned it wasn't too bad.
Moreover, this gave Kaito a hint. The system awarded him one thousand points when he had basically dealt with Shisui. Did this indicate that Shisui had also reached the Mangekyou level?
At this thought, Kaito became even more delighted as this boosted his confidence even further!
"Hm?"
However, at that moment, Kaito seemed to sense something. Turning his head, he saw Shisui running towards him.
He also noticed Shisui's slightly tense expression, which soon turned somewhat vacant...
