Back home.
He secretly glanced at the Nine-Tails.
Finding it happily playing in the water in the Training Space, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief.
This thing was his biggest secret now, and it was not convenient for Kurama to know about it just yet.
Nothing else—he was just afraid the Nine-Tails would get the wrong idea.
The Nine-Tails deeply despised the Uchiha clan, especially Uchiha Madara. Their hatred ran bone-deep.
If the Nine-Tails discovered that Naruto had a Mangekyō, it would not just mean his father was a little cuckolded.
His father would be easier to explain away. After all, he was already dead, so probably no one would pay attention. Besides, who said Naruto could not have a little Uchiha Bloodline in his ancestry? The Nine-Tails, though, would not be so easy to fool.
He opened the interface and started allocating points.
Emm... adding experience points.
[Sharingan: 9600/10000 (Three Tomoe)]
Taking out the 500 experience points he had just gotten, still fresh in his hands, Naruto added them directly.
His experience instantly filled up, with some even overflowing.
[You have met the activation requirements for the Mangekyō Sharingan. A Mangekyō ability is being drawn for you from the ability pool.]
[Hint: Strong desires can increase the chance of obtaining corresponding abilities.]
"What does that mean?"
Seeing that prompt, Naruto was not just confused—he was ninety percent confused.
Naruto could understand "drawing a Mangekyō ability." It probably meant these eyes could give him another skill he could use.
But what did "strong desires can increase the chance of obtaining corresponding abilities" mean?
Could he make a wish with this thing?
After making sure he had understood the meaning correctly, Naruto immediately got his brain working and began a rapid brainstorming session.
What should he wish for?
What could make him stronger?
Time?
Space?
No, if they were talking about the strongest, it had to be the fundamental forces.
"God, no. System, that's not right either." For a moment, Naruto did not even know what to call this thing.
"God of Games."
He finally settled on that title and swiftly made his wish. "Please give me any one of the Four Fundamental Forces. Any one will do!"
The moment he finished speaking, Naruto suddenly remembered that while this game had all kinds of flashy functions, it seemed to be just a game after all.
Was that request a little too much?
With that thought, Naruto immediately added, "If not one of the Four Fundamental Forces, then something similar will do!"
[Combining Mangekyō abilities from the ability pool.]
[A suitable combination has been drawn. Generating...]
[You have obtained the Mangekyō Sharingan:
Left Eye (Attraction) + Right Eye (Repulsion): You can freely manipulate the attraction/repulsion of individuals or areas. You may also use up to four Black Orbs to control attraction/repulsion, freely choose the targets of the effect, interfere with natural objects, and absorb/repel any physical ninjutsu.
Durability: Each use consumes 0.5% durability. Once durability is exhausted, you will fall into blindness.
Cooldown: None
Usage Restrictions: None]
[Please name your Mangekyō Sharingan.]
Naruto stared blankly at the description, still finding it hard to believe.
Attraction plus repulsion?
His wish had actually come true.
And judging from the description, were Mangekyō this powerful?
Naruto suddenly understood. No wonder Uchiha Madara could go toe-to-toe with the First Hokage using just this thing.
The Mangekyō was simply too powerful.
"The Uchiha clan truly cannot be underestimated."
Naruto was not even sure whether all his years of training would be enough for him to defeat his own Mangekyō.
Attraction plus repulsion—it could deflect every physical attack and had no cooldown. How was he supposed to fight that? Headbutt it?
This ability was a little too broken.
As for the name...
Naruto decided in an instant.
Left Eye = Lord Dun.
Right Eye = Uncle Tan.
[Your naming has been confirmed. If you are dissatisfied, you may use a Name Change Voucher to modify the names.]
[Your Mangekyō has finished awakening. You have additionally unlocked the Mangekyō Store. It has been detected that you possess SSSSSS Talent. A Rinnegan evolution path has also been unlocked for you. Once the progress bar is full, collect the necessary Six Paths Chakra or purchase an additional upgrade pack to unlock the Rinnegan.]
[Hint: Excessive use of the Mangekyō Sharingan can lead to blindness. Please purchase the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan as soon as possible.]
A product link abruptly popped up beneath the prompt.
Even though Naruto had long grown used to this game's shameless ways, that blatantly obvious pay-to-win notification still left him choking.
What the hell? Could he not just level it up?
He looked back at the original skill.
[Sharingan: 10100/100000 (Mangekyō → Rinnegan)]
Damn, there was no leveling path at all. He could only spend money to buy it.
"What is the Rinnegan? And what is Six Paths Chakra?"
The more he encountered, the more ignorant Naruto felt.
This game—no, this world—always seemed to throw out things he knew nothing about.
Putting aside the unknown Rinnegan for now, Naruto prepared to check out the store.
After all, the Mangekyō was so powerful that there was no way he would not use it.
So, to avoid going blind, he could only click the link.
One look.
Fuck, 1,000,000 ryo!!!
That was a hundred thousand yuan.
How was that any different from outright robbery?
Oh.
Naruto suddenly remembered that he did not seem to be poor anymore. He was no longer that boy who could only stop in front of the price tag.
Still, that price really was expensive!
Even if he went all out selling family buckets every month, it would take six or seven months to earn that much.
How much did the Nine-Tails cost?
2,000,000 ryo.
After two months of study and extracurricular reading, Naruto had long learned that the Nine-Tails was one of the world's nine great tailed beasts—and the strongest one.
What right did the Eternal Mangekyo have to cost half a Kurama?
But.
After thinking it over, Naruto realized he had no choice but to buy it.
If he did not, he would have to face the risk of blindness.
He could only make the old man work harder and sell more family buckets.
Ahem.
Maybe the time skip had been too abrupt, so this had not been explained.
The "old man" was Naruto's first Wood Style Clone, as well as the founder of the previously mentioned Old Daddy Fast Food.
He was an old man with silver-white hair, every strand tough and neatly groomed, styled like the old KFC colonel.
However, perhaps because he had not returned to the original body for two months, or perhaps because of a split personality, the old man had now sunk deep into role-playing.
In his mind, he was not Naruto's clone. He was an eighty-year-old man, the genuine founder of Old Daddy Fast Food.
If Naruto had not confirmed that the old man worked diligently every day, turned over all his earnings, and kept not a single extra coin, Naruto would have wanted to dismiss the clone.
But this clone was simply too capable.
In a busy shop, the old man handled every single task all by himself.
Moreover, his energy, smile, kindness, and character made everyone in the village like him.
That was why the fast-food restaurant's daily revenue had exploded, allowing such a small shop to generate so much profit.
Naruto had once suspected that this clone was so capable because he had also received the blessing of SSSSSS Talent.
At present, that seemed very likely.
Back to the point.
Closing the product page, Naruto opened the newly added Mangekyō Store.
Tsukuyomi, Kotoamatsukami, Amaterasu, Kagutsuchi, Kamui, Yachihoko, and other Mangekyō abilities were all displayed on the shelves.
Buy them and use them immediately. There was no need to replace his eyes; his original eyes would simply gain additional usable skills.
Every single one was priced at 1,000,000 ryo.
Before opening it, Naruto had thought it was some kind of "Mangekyō Store." After opening it, he learned that it truly was a "Mangekyō" store.
Looking at the introductions and descriptions, Naruto found that each of those abilities was stranger than the last.
No wonder the Uchiha clan is Konoha's number-one great clan. Naruto sighed from the bottom of his heart.
The fact that the game could fleece players so thoroughly through a pair of eyes indirectly proved that those eyes were truly popular in the game.
"As expected of the protagonist." For some reason, Naruto suddenly thought of the protagonist, Sasuke.
What would his Mangekyō abilities be?
