Chapter 85

Kaeya looked at Amber dumbfounded. At this time, Amber had her arms akimbo. He stared at her, as if Earl Tutu might be thrown out at any moment!

Then, suddenly, the blindfold that Kaeya was wearing slipped off.

What followed was the appearance of a single *Sharingan* eye—specifically, the *Mangekyō Sharingan*—in Kaeya's eye socket!

"Wait... what?!" 

Countless people present stared at this *Mangekyō Sharingan*, unsure of what they were seeing. Kaeya's luck seemed a bit unfortunate. He had obtained the *Sharingan*—but just a single *Mangekyō*. 

It was still a powerful ability, but not as impressive as Takumi, who had directly obtained a pair of *Rinnegan*.

The crowd could see the *Mangekyō Sharingan* clearly, and Kaeya himself could feel the power of the eye. It seemed able to directly penetrate the entire shop, observing how everyone's elemental energy flowed.

When he shifted his gaze to Amber, he could feel the power of the fire element swirling around her, connected to the direction of her Vision and coursing through her body. The same could be said for the others around him.

The appearance of this power left Kaeya speechless for a moment. But after just one minute, he began to feel a fatigue in his eye.

"Look, there's something wrong with Captain Kaeya's eyes!" someone murmured.

"Yeah, I stared into Captain Kaeya's eyes for a while, and I felt dizzy!"

"Is this the *Sharingan*? It feels so powerful!"

"It can copy abilities and even see through an opponent's moves! That's too powerful!"

"What is this? After Captain Kaeya gets these eyes, can he replace Amber?"

"You want the cavalry captain to become a scout knight?"

"Kaeya doesn't even have a mount! How can he be a cavalry captain without one?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, it'll be bad if you're overheard!"

Whether Kaeya heard them or not, Amber certainly did.

She crossed her arms, glaring at Kaeya. "What, Senior Kaeya, are you planning to replace me as a scout knight now? Insight, reconnaissance ability… Is this the skill of a scout knight?!"

She puffed up, resembling a furious rabbit. "I, Amber, will remember this grudge!"

Kaeya chuckled, "Ahem, everyone, don't make a fuss. The *Sharingan* is a gift from the boss. If you want to get this ability, just go watch *Naruto*!"

"I, Kaeya, am a loyal *Hokage* fan!" he said with a wink. "Maybe you could become the next Jinchūriki!"

Kaeya patted his head and then turned his gaze to Takumi, who had been watching with interest. Who was Takumi? Even Kaeya himself couldn't fully figure him out.

As for the idea of becoming a scout knight—well, that was just a joke. Opening his eye was exhausting. Kaeya almost thought he was going blind from the effort.

And there was little Amber, staring at him like she was about to attack him, much like Yula from the Lawrence family next door. 

But it was just another day of banter between Kaeya and his friends. 

However, the revelation of the *Sharingan* had caused a stir. There were many people who couldn't sit still. A power like that was too terrifying, especially since the *Sharingan* could be upgraded into something akin to the *Rinnegan*, a power comparable to that of a god!

Takumi had been careful to explain everything to the crowd. "Sharingan is the third most powerful eye technique in the *Naruto* universe," he said. "The first is the *Byakugan*, which grants enhanced vision and insight. The second is the *Rinnegan*, which can rival the gods themselves. And the third, the *Sharingan*, possesses incredible abilities such as observation, replication, and hypnosis. It can even evolve into the *Rinnegan*, a power beyond imagination!"

Takumi's words left the audience gasping.

Especially the *Fatui*, who had long relied on their technological creations, like their evil eyes, which were known to cause harm to their users. But now, Kaeya had obtained a power comparable to that of the gods. It was unfathomable.

If this news reached the right ears, it could open a new world of possibilities. Perhaps they could even create something more powerful than the *evil eyes* the *Fatui* used. 

After Kaeya and the others left, a few *Fatui* agents approached Takumi.

"Hi, boss," one of them asked, "What anime did Captain Kaeya watch at your place?"

Takumi didn't like dealing with the *Fatui*, but as long as they didn't cause trouble, they were customers.

"Sharingan," Takumi said with a smirk. "A power comparable to that of a god, from *Naruto*. Captain Kaeya spent five million Mora to get it!"

The *Fatui* agents weren't short on Mora, so Takumi wasn't worried about them doubting the price. He was just making a joke. In reality, Kaeya had only stayed up a few nights here, and the cost was only a few hundred thousand Mora at most.

"It's the power of a god?!" one of the *Fatui* agents exclaimed. "We need to report this to the Counselor and Madam immediately. We can't let such an opportunity slip away!"

At Mondstadt's *Northland Bank*, Anastasia received the report from her subordinates and handed it over to Madam Rosalind.

Rosalind stared at the report in front of her, her mind racing. She had been secretly observing Venti's promotional posters, hoping to gather some kind of clue.

The news was true. Kaeya had indeed obtained abilities from that strange little shop. Abilities comparable to the gods!

"Anastasia," Rosalind's cold voice broke the silence. "Have our agents been active in this shop?"

"Yes, ma'am," Anastasia replied nervously. "Our agents inspected the shop. Three members received the detonating talisman, and one of them, a man with fire-based evil eyes, obtained a fire-based combat skill. The others found nothing of note."

Rosalind's eyes narrowed. This was incredible! *Sharingan*… could be upgraded to the *Rinnegan*, granting mastery over life and death. This was exactly the kind of power she needed.

She turned her gaze back to the report, making a decision in her mind. 

"Forget Venti's heart for now. My priority is to investigate that mysterious animation screening room. From it, I will obtain the power to revive my beloved."
