Chapter 41: So, What Exactly Is the Mangekyou Sharingan

Seeing the quest on his panel, Yuzhi fell silent for a moment.

The system, as always, kept handing him brutal missions, and it actually forced him to kill Lin with his own hands?

He already had a poor relationship with Obito, and now he would have sent Lin away himself.

I'm afraid what Obito wants to create won't be a world with Lin, but a world where neither the real nor the virtual can have him!

Yuzhi still fears that guy Obito, especially after his Mangekyou Sharingan awakens; he's definitely not an easy opponent.

Of course, Yuzhi thinks whether he himself is present or whether Obito can awaken his eyes is a problem.

However, Yuzhi also wonders, if Obito awakens his eyes while his own Mangekyou Sharingan is also active, then—

"Can I try to copy his ability?"

Since completing the "Grave Digging" quest, Yuzhi has obtained the Eye Technique Transplant Technique, but he hasn't tried it yet.

The main reasons are that he has no suitable candidate, and his own eyes haven't reached the Mangekyou level yet.

He hasn't yet planned to ask about Hikari's eyes; he wants the girl herself to tell him about her past.

He will ask then, rather than tearing open old wounds now.

But Obito's case is different; if he could truly acquire Obito's ability, it would definitely not be a bad thing for him!

"Moreover, I've already obtained part of his talent; once I get the full version, facing him will be even easier."

With a complete Kamui, he would truly no longer fear Obito!

"After all, even if you hide, I can still find you, so what will you use to fight me?"

Standing in the forest, watching Kakashi's departing silhouette, Yuzhi couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Still pondering the mission he mentioned?"

At that moment, Hikari's voice sounded behind him.

She had actually been watching Yuzhi and Kakashi's battle all along, but didn't want to reveal herself.

At the same time, she had no interest in dealing with these ninjas, so she stayed hidden until Kakashi left.

"Hmm, this mission is abnormal."

Yuzhi stroked his chin; although he had just been pondering how to obtain Obito's ability.

But his thoughts shifted quickly, and he directly followed Hikari's line of thinking and spoke.

"Because the village issues quests, especially important ones like this, they wouldn't fail to inform me,

They would even double‑check, to ensure the mission's success rate.

Now it seems the clan wants me to carry out this mission, probably similar to my last trip to Grass Country.

It looks like the Clan Leader is seeking my opinion, but in fact has already signed me up."

After all, to appear sincere, Yuzhi told Hikari that he had become a 'Leaf Village Hero'.

He himself isn't quite sure how this situation will turn out.

But that doesn't stop him from recalling the last time; besides, isn't this playing to her preferences? Hikari's prejudice against the Uchiha Clan runs deep.

"This clan truly is beyond cure."

As expected, Hikari let out a light hum upon hearing that.

"Whether it's this clan or these so‑called ninjas, they're all incurable!"

"Yes, yes, yes, so when the time comes we'll burn them all together."

Yuzhi was too lazy to call the girl 'over‑extreme', anyway he'd grown accustomed to it.

In fact, putting himself in her shoes, he felt quite sympathetic toward the girl.

Even though it was just a few words, Yuzhi knew her living conditions at the time were exceptionally terrible.

She was almost like Kimimaro, locked in a cage and used purely as a weapon.

Moreover, the war showed no mercy, and people from other clans only treated her as a monster and enemy.

Being a slave to such a clan, an enemy of the world, her resentment was only natural.

After all, she's not Naruto.

Fortunately, after these days of interaction, Yuzhi realized she isn't the 'fanatical filial twins' type—irrational and extremely selfish.

Otherwise, whatever Yuzhi says would be of no use.

"So what do you plan to do now?"

Hikari didn't pay attention to Yuzhi's words; she frowned and asked.

"Go join this so‑called mission?"

"Of course, even though the situation is unclear, I'm probably unable to avoid this mission."

Yuzhi nodded; the system had released the quest, so he naturally wanted to see what rewards might be offered.

Besides that, he also wanted to see what change Obito would undergo if he participated and rescued Lin.

Of course, the most important thing is that Yuzhi continues to constantly strengthen his eyes so he can successfully awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

These days, he never stopped training in Shadow Release.

Moreover, frequent sparring with Akai and Kakashi also improved his control over his eyes.

But that wasn't enough; he could feel his eyes growing, yet clearly they hadn't reached their limit.

Yuzhi could only work harder, using higher‑intensity battles to further enhance his eyes.

"Is that so? I understand."

Hikari looked at Yuzhi's serious expression, thought for a moment, and said nothing more.

But inside, she mused that Yuzhi truly is the same kind of person as him; they share the same plight.

"Don't worry, I'll be prepared before I leave; you won't have any problems at home."

Yuzhi smiled and slowly began to speak.

"You also have to take good care of yourself; when you have nothing to do, you can go out for a walk, as long as you disguise yourself properly."

"Just like now, the many beauties of the world need to be discovered with one's eyes."

"Staying at home all day makes it impossible to discover, because that way you cannot come into contact with Hikari."

"Since the last time Hikari said to him, 'We are not Sharingan,' Yuzhi has become smarter."

"Although he really wanted to say, 'We don't open the Sharingan on ordinary days,' he thought it best not to argue with the girl."

"Doing so is meaningless; just go along with her."

"When Hikari heard his words, they remained silent, and it was unclear what they were thinking."

"Let's go, let's return."

"Yuzhi didn't mind much; turning his head, he headed toward his own home, since taking on a mission naturally required some preparation."

"But on the way, he couldn't help pondering one thing: if he activated the Mangekyou Sharingan, what ability would it be?"

"As everyone knows, the Mangekyou Sharingan's ability is determined by the opener's innermost desire at the moment of awakening."

"However, Yuzhi wasn't sure whether his thoughts at the moment of awakening could affect the final result."

"After all, he didn't undergo extreme emotional trauma to awaken; he completed it through 'evolution.'"

"So, could he 'exploit a bug' by thinking about this question while enhancing his eyes?"

"Moreover, I already obtained Kakashi's Sharingan's Spatial Talent, so will my eye technique also be Kamui?"

"These questions have always made Yuzhi curious, but after thinking for a few days he couldn't figure out an answer."

"However, during these few days, he also got all the necessary preparations done."

"For example, he bought a lot of food to store at home and also equipped himself with some ninja tools."

"Likewise, during these days he received accurate news—Uzhibo ChaNa told him that he was to go on a mission."

"Although the Clan Leader's methods make us sick, we also won't give up, but the Clan Leader becoming Hokage is the most important matter."

"Uzhibo ChaNa spoke earnestly to Yuzhi."

"This mission is for the clan, and you have sufficient experience in the Grass Country, so I hope you can take part in it."

"I understand; I won't let the clan down."

"Yuzhi had long known he had already been signed up, and since his system missions were already accepted, he naturally was too lazy to argue."

"After all, he had no interest in debating anything with someone destined to die."

"However, when he was near the entrance of Leaf Village, he was startled to find that someone was still following behind him."

"What are you doing, are you crazy?"

"Yuzhi, with a throbbing head, looked at the girl; he didn't know what Hikari was going crazy about."

"Didn't you tell me to look at the outside world more?"

"But Hikari looked at Yuzhi with a calm expression, and said something that left him unable to refute."

"And didn't you say we are friends?"

"Since we are friends, I want to help you; that should be normal, right?"
