Dual Eye Abilities: Traversal

Sakura, who happened to be home, went to open the door and was surprised to find that the person who came in looked very familiar. It was none other than Shiro, who had an amazing appearance and whom she had met many times before.

"Examiner-sama?" Sakura's mouth opened slightly. "Why did you come all this way to see me? Is it related to the Chunin Ninja Exams?"

"No, Sakura-chan!" Shiro's smile was brighter than the sunshine. "It should be a good thing. Are you free now? Can you come with me to meet someone?"

"... Okay, please wait a moment, I'll be right there!"

A moment later, Sakura, dressed neatly, followed Haku towards the central area of Konoha and soon arrived at a quiet training ground.

Beneath the tree, a familiar figure in White Robe Red Trim and wearing a straw hat came into view.

"Lord Hokage!" Sakura exclaimed in surprise.

"Haha, it's Sakura." Shuichi, "I hope this isn't bothering you at this hour?"

Sakura immediately replied, "Of course, I'd be more than happy to."

Shuichi kind expression and said, "Kakashi told me about you, but his fighting style can't offer you much help."

"So from today onwards, I will officially accept you as my disciple. Bai is currently free, so he will temporarily take over your training. I will also come and teach you when I have time. What do you think?"

"Ahhh~~"

The usually composed girl finally couldn't contain herself any longer. Her whole body trembled with excitement as she exclaimed, "Yes, I'll do whatever you say, Hokage... Sensei!"

"Congratulations, Sakura!" Haku approached her, equally delighted. "Brother Itachi is away on a mission; he'll definitely let you meet him when he returns in a few days."

"You should be preparing for the Main Tournament now, so please take good care of me over the next month!"

"No problem... Senior Brother!"

"..."

Watching the two train nearby, Shuichi thought to himself with a sigh, "My lineage probably has the most Good-Looking Master-Disciple in all of history. Future generations might think that Purple Aurora only accepts disciples based on looks—what a troublesome misunderstanding..."

"You actually value this little girl so much."

Jiraiya appeared from the side with a surprised expression, "Perhaps my perspective is outdated."

"Sakura is a hardworking child, and also intelligent and quick-witted."

Shuichi calmly explained, "In the near future, ninja villages and nations will likely place increasing importance on aspects of ninjas beyond their martial prowess."

Competition between nations will shift to a completely new model, such as a contest of scientific and technological research and development.

"Our Konoha possesses the best resource area in the Shinobi World, and we certainly cannot lag behind other countries in this regard. We must begin cultivating relevant talent as soon as possible..."

Jiraiya listened quietly, then sighed softly, a feeling he couldn't quite describe.

"There are many things that our older generation can no longer understand. If Orochimaru had become Hokage back then, the village would have developed in a better direction."

After chatting for a while, Jiraiya said seriously, "According to intelligence, I've discovered an organization called Akatsuki that has been active in many battlefields across the Shinobi World in recent years, and Orochimaru is also a member of this organization."

"As for the information about Nagato and the others, it is somewhat vague."

Often, numerous ambiguous figures are active in various places simultaneously, seemingly hiding something, or perhaps someone is deliberately interfering.

Shuichi was not surprised. No matter how strong the Sannin's intelligence infiltration ability was, it would be difficult to compare with the numerous White Zetsu who could create countless clones and freely simulate and transform.

"There's some information you need to be aware of!" Jiraiya's expression turned slightly serious. "The Akatsuki Organization seems to have accepted an important mission, and their target is our Konoha."

Although we don't know when they will make their move, the best option at this time is...

"The Chunin Ninja Exams, I Main Tournament," Shuichi said calmly. "It's normal for other countries to be wary of us when we're so successful."

"When you show weakness, they will definitely try to grab more benefits. The village's core principle is to maintain peace, but not to fear any challenge."

"I will be fully prepared. Let those clowns come out if they want."

"Really? If you put it that way, then I don't need to worry about it anymore." Jiraiya seemed much more relaxed.

"As for Naruto, you can even adjust the Eight Trigrams Seal with ease, so the key left by Minato seems to be of little use. I'll find a time to give it to Naruto himself."

Shuichi asked, "Why don't you train him yourself? Naruto's style seems somewhat similar to yours, and I also mind that Jinchuriki are away from home for extended periods."

"... Never mind." After a moment of silence, Jiraiya slowly spoke, "If you want to control the Nine-Tails, trusting the power of your comrades is more important."

I have complete confidence in Kakashi's abilities, and it's clear that Naruto values those two teammates highly. It wouldn't be appropriate to abruptly interrupt this growth process."

Shuichi understood immediately that Sasuke couldn't possibly defect in this life. He and Naruto had similar potential and could complement each other. The team atmosphere of Team 7 was indeed excellent.

Furthermore, the news that Nagato "Child of Destiny," is still alive and causing trouble has firmly captured Jiraiya's attention. Whether he will take Naruto apprentice in the future remains to be seen...

Late July.

High-ranking officials from various countries who were preparing to watch the Chunin Ninja Exams arrived at Konoha ahead of schedule.

Under Shuichi's arrangement and command, the entire village was outwardly relaxed but inwardly tense. If any unfamiliar faces or people with unclear information appeared, the Anbu would keep a close watch on them.

The schedules for all the ninjas' missions had been meticulously planned in advance, ensuring they either departed or returned precisely during the period between the start and end of the competition.

They will either patrol the area around the village or temporarily stand guard at key border crossings.

In this state, Shuichi really wanted a formidable enemy to emerge and fight Konoha, to flex his muscles and let the surrounding area know the strength of the overlord of the Shinobi World.

It was late at night, close to midnight.

In the Hokage Residence, Shuichi, who had just lain down, quietly got up and tucked the blanket around the sleeping Kurenai.

I went to another room to check on Ayako and Tsubasa.

Then someone went up to the roof to admire the moon.

"I've been here for 23 years."

Shuichi sat quietly; his 27th birthday was just a few seconds away.

The system will still take effect on time, and although the increase is not large, it is still considered a small increase given the total volume of its Mental Energy.

Shuichi's foundation was incredibly solid, and he guessed that there was a good chance he would activate the Mangekyo at that moment.

Last year, when the change occurred, I had only been able to activate the Three-Tomoe for about half a year, but I ultimately failed. However, I could sense a slight change in my Dojutsu, so the chances this time... are probably around 30% to 40%.

"They're here!"

Seconds passed in the blink of an eye, and at the exact moment of the hour, Shuichi's body improved dramatically in every aspect.

A flash of crimson light appeared in his eyes, Three-Tomoe suddenly spun, transforming the jet-black pattern into Six-Rounded Pattern design that looked eerie and dangerous in the moonlight.

"It really worked!"

Shuichi was in a good mood and almost couldn't help but hum a little tune.

Taking out a mirror to examine them closely, I noticed that the Mangekyo looked somewhat similar to Sasuke's, though there were many differences in the details. They weren't windmill-shaped but rather symmetrical and straight.

"My ability is... time travel!" Shuichi silently savored the sensations transmitted through his eyes.

The ability of the left eye is called Ten'yomikami, which has the effect of traversing space.

Unlike Kamui, this ability only allows for spatial movement within one's line of sight.

The specific method involves focusing the pupil, which will open a transparent "door" at a distant point. The size of this door can be controlled by the user, but it should be no larger than the size of a person.

It can pass through parts of its own body, its entire body, and various objects, somewhat like Kaguya's Yomotsu Hirasaka, or a weaker, more exaggerated version of the Gate-Gate Fruit from the neighboring One Piece manga.

Since I haven't tried it yet, I don't know how it Shuichi.

The right eye's ability is called the Ten'noTsune, which is considered a special kind of soul transmigration.

It can invade the opponent's soul, thereby forcibly controlling the person and reading their memories.

The activation process is similar to Tsukuyomi; it's best to make eye contact at close to medium distance.

Shuichi assessed it and concluded that it could be described as an extended version of the Human Path of the Rinnegan, combined with an advanced version of the Yamanaka Clan's Mind Transfer Jutsu, a divine skill for stealing information and doing evil.
