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