Information Brought by the System Prompt

Although Indra's Bloodline currently bore the word "incomplete," it also meant that Hoshiryu Uchiha now had the ability to awaken a Mangekyo without side effects.

He merely needed to spend some time raising it another level and remove that word "incomplete."

Judging by the system's current AFK capabilities, orange abilities could reach the Six Paths Level. At this rate, Hoshiryu Uchiha would become a god through AFK sooner or later.

So even if he had not reached the system's upper limit, he would still have no opponents on the Ninja Continent.

This discovery delighted Hoshiryu Uchiha for quite a while, after which he noticed the system prompt.

It was easy enough to understand that combat power could only serve as a reference. If two people had identical abilities, but one had combat experience and the other did not, then in a fight to the death, the one with combat experience would definitely be the survivor.

It was like an ordinary person encountering a criminal. Their first reaction would definitely not be, I can fight back and kill him. Being able to calmly flee at the first opportunity already put someone above the norm.

Take Kaguya Otsutsuki, for example, the progenitor of Chakra and the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki.

Even someone as powerful as her had her weakness seized by Naruto and Sasuke, who then sealed her away once more with Planetary Devastation.

Therefore, whether one had combat experience still played an important role in battles between people of the same level. It could even help someone defeat a powerful enemy while at a disadvantage.

The other meaning behind this prompt was rather subtle, but Hoshiryu Uchiha still understood it.

Combat power was only for reference, which meant his current way of thinking had fallen into a misunderstanding.

Even if he obtained a Six Paths physique and raised his combat power into the thousands or tens of thousands, did that truly mean Hoshiryu Uchiha was strong?

Of course, having solid fundamentals was a good thing, but how could he fend off enemies and protect himself with fundamentals alone?

Your combat power was merely a foundation. Without suitable methods, relying on physical strength alone made it impossible to compare with someone in the same realm.

This made Hoshiryu Uchiha decide to improve his means of fighting enemies.

In that regard, considering that he carried Uchiha Clan blood, the first thing that came to mind was fire.

So he placed Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique into the newly appeared AFK Slot.

Besides, having only the Sharingan was far too lopsided. Even if he awakened the Mangekyo, having no other abilities would be highly inconvenient.

Otherwise, would he summon Susanoo to cut down a Genin whenever he encountered one in the future? It would look cool, sure, but it was truly unnecessary.

Moreover, there were countless masters of fire across the Myriad Worlds. It sounded ordinary, but both its lower and upper limits were incredibly high.

The most convincing example was Flame Emperor Xiao Yan's Exotic Flame, while the more embarrassing example was Ace from Pirates.

So while fire might seem like a common ability, it was truly powerful once developed.

Most importantly, it would look cool.

Whether you were strong was only temporary, but being cool was a lifelong matter.

Hoshiryu Uchiha chose both!

As he looked at the Two-Tomoe Sharingan (Green) in the system, he felt his eyes activate on their own.

Then, without any preparation on his part, another tomoe appeared.

Seeing the label Three-Tomoe Sharingan (Green) Lv.10 in the system, Hoshiryu Uchiha silently gave the system a thumbs-up.

After dealing with the system matters, Hoshiryu Uchiha began to inspect his surroundings.

He had been abruptly awakened by his ability's advancement. This was the system's first ability advancement, and he had not expected it to cause such a huge commotion.

The newly upgraded ability had caused his Chakra to surge violently. Unable to control that sudden increase in power, he had ultimately shaken the bed apart.

Hoshiryu Uchiha scratched his head in frustration. Now that he had wrecked his own bed, where was he supposed to sleep from now on...?

Then he remembered that Mito Uzumaki would officially adopt him tomorrow. The bed could make do for one night, so he stopped dwelling on the issue.

Just then, as if sensing something, Hoshiryu Uchiha shot up from the bed.

His still poorly controlled Chakra seemed to sense its master's intent and suddenly erupted with astonishing pressure.

Hoshiryu Uchiha stared fixedly toward the window and shouted:

"Who's there!?"

The next moment, Uchiha Sen stepped out from beside the window and said with a bitter smile:

"It's a misunderstanding. I came today because I wanted to see whether there was anything you needed help with."

"On the way here, I sensed an enormous Chakra fluctuation from this place. I was worried something had happened to you, so I stood by the window to scout things out first."

"I didn't expect it to cause such a misunderstanding. That was my fault."

Hoshiryu Uchiha did not lower his guard because of Uchiha Sen's appearance or words. Instead, he became even more cautious.

"Did I ask you for anything yesterday?"

He still had to guard against the Transformation Technique. As for activating the Sharingan to verify his identity, Hoshiryu Uchiha had never considered that option.

If Uchiha Sen was genuine, then the matter of the Sharingan would become impossible to conceal.

Hoshiryu Uchiha did not even dare imagine what would happen if the old fossils of the clan learned that he had awakened a Three-Tomoe Sharingan at six years old.

"Yesterday, you asked me for many medical books. Only the two of us were present at the time. Does that prove I haven't used the Transformation Technique?"

Hearing this, Hoshiryu Uchiha relaxed slightly, though he still watched Uchiha Sen with some wariness.

Seeing Hoshiryu Uchiha's expression, Uchiha Sen felt helpless as well. He knew that what he had done was improper.

Although his intentions had been good and he had been worried that something might happen to Hoshiryu Uchiha, secretly investigating the House Owner's situation without permission was unjustifiable anywhere.

Thinking of Hoshiryu Uchiha's performance yesterday, he pondered for a moment before saying:

"I was never here today. Later, I'll send you some Fire Style Ninjutsu. Please accept them as my apology."

But times had changed. Yesterday, you ignored me; today, I was beyond your reach.

Though it was only a joke, Hoshiryu Uchiha no longer needed such scraps.

Being adopted by Mito Uzumaki meant that most of the Senju Clan's hidden treasures would be opened to him.

Wasn't Tobirama Senju's collection of ninjutsu materials far more appealing? Why pursue other trifles?

So Hoshiryu Uchiha no longer had any use for Uchiha Sen's apology gift.

However, based on his impression of Uchiha Sen, this person might prove very useful in the future.

Uchiha Sen had actually displayed traits unlike those of the Uchiha Clan yesterday, and within the Uchiha Clan, that meant he possessed the potential to awaken the Mangekyo.
