The Mangekyo's awakened abnormal abilities were most potent in the skills of Shisui Uchiha and Obito. One could control the opponent's will, the other could manipulate space; both were immensely powerful.
"Could it be that the System can predict the abilities of these two eyes?" Hyuga Matsuba had a flash of inspiration and immediately accessed the System page.
However, he didn't summon the System. Instead, he clicked on his own settings page and found the two eyeballs he had just obtained in his inventory.
"I didn't expect to find these two eyeballs in my inventory, but it makes sense. These things weren't mine to begin with, so how could they be my equipment?"
Upon closer inspection, Matsuba noticed that the System had even added a line of small text as a description. He almost missed it.
This was also learned from experience; Hyuga Matsuba understood that System descriptions were generally hard to find.
But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand why the System didn't make the font size larger. If he hadn't been so meticulous and discovered these words unexpectedly, Matsuba wouldn't have known the System even provided a description.
After clicking on the small text, more detailed content appeared.
One of the functions was called Amaterasu. Seeing this, Hyuga Matsuba's face darkened.
This skill was advertised as incredibly powerful, boasting titles like "Strongest in the Universe" and "Number One in the entire Hokage."
Yet, after all this time, this skill hadn't successfully killed anyone, making those titles seem like false advertising.
However, the second ability was not to be underestimated.
Phantom Clone: The user can summon another Phantom Clone, which possesses a small portion of the user's abilities. In combat, the user can swap bodies with the Phantom Clone.
This seemed like no ordinary skill, but it required a large amount of Chakra to activate. Once the Chakra was depleted, the Phantom Clone would cease to exist.
After browsing, Hyuga Matsuba closed the System. Dinner time was approaching, and Mikoto was waiting outside.
After dinner, to Hyuga Matsuba's surprise, Mikoto also returned to her bedroom to train.
"Even if Mikoto is ambitious, she shouldn't be going this far!"
Hyuga Matsuba was completely unaware that after learning of Hyuga Matsuba's true strength, Mikoto had resolved to become even more driven to bridge the gap in their abilities.
Mikoto was quick to grasp concepts and had already possessed the Sharingan. This had happened a long time ago, and only Hyuga Matsuba knew about it.
Mikoto told him that the day her grandfather died was also the day her Sharingan awakened.
Hearing this for the first time, Hyuga Matsuba found it hard to believe Mikoto had the Sharingan back then. But after thinking about it, he understood. Her grandfather's death must have been a tremendous blow to Mikoto.
After suffering such a powerful mental trauma, Mikoto's innate abilities were not weak, so it was highly likely that the Sharingan had formed at that time.
Previously, Mikoto would always chat with Hyuga Matsuba after meals. Now, she was in seclusion for training. With nothing to do, Hyuga Matsuba decided to practice as well.
Hyuga Matsuba was no longer solely focused on training his taijutsu. Instead, he was practicing the gravity manipulation of the Tenseigan.
By directly using his own gravity, he could enhance his abilities in a short period, improving himself without any blind spots. The scope of improvement even extended to the organs within his body.
As for skill proficiency, he left that to his Shadow Clones. Hyuga Matsuba only knew a few ninjutsu techniques, which he had mastered long ago.
Regarding the Tenseigan's dojutsu, Matsuba didn't need to improve it himself. He was currently accumulating Chakra, and that would be sufficient later.
Hyuga Matsuba's current tasks were to practice Armament Haki and Observation Haki, swordsmanship, master the Glint-Glint Fruit, and acquire more Chakra.
Practicing swordsmanship also served as a way to warm up his muscles and improve his physical fitness, killing two birds with one stone.
The Glint-Glint Fruit required him to improve his control over light to elevate his level. This was rather difficult, and Hyuga Matsuba planned to deal with it later.
This could be considered a downside of having too many abilities; there were too many tasks requiring proficiency. Fortunately, Hyuga Matsuba possessed extremely high talent, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to manage.
After this short holiday, they would be returning to school. During boring lectures in class, Hyuga Matsuba would, as before, quietly cultivate on his own.
During the afternoon's outdoor practical lesson, he would practice his special short sword handling techniques alone.
He had no other choice. Hyuga Matsuba yearned to wield Ryujin Jakka, but his height limited him. If he dragged such a large sword, wouldn't he be laughed to death?
"Hey, Matsuba. Your reaction is too slow. Even if your opponent was a complete novice who knew nothing, they could probably dodge your attacks. What's the point of you swinging that around?"
"Ah, Nawaki, you don't understand." Hyuga Matsuba shot Nawaki a glance.
The reason for Hyuga Matsuba's slow sword-swinging speed was that he was activating immense gravity within his body. If he were just swinging his sword, his speed would be unrivaled.
"You're talking nonsense, aren't you? You say I don't understand, but I know ninjutsu now. Believe it or not, I'll show you?"
Nawaki lifted his head, acting incredibly arrogant.
"Oh? You know ninjutsu too, Nawaki?"
"Nawaki is from the Senju Clan. What's a little thing like this?"
Nawaki said this very loudly, and the surrounding classmates learned the news, all praising Nawaki's abilities.
"Hmm? Which one do you know?" Hyuga Matsuba raised an eyebrow.
"I'll show you, and you'll know. It's very powerful, so move back a bit, everyone."
Hearing the praise from others, Nawaki felt like he was floating on air.
"Nawaki, there are rules in the school!"
Shikaku Nara reminded him kindly.
"It's alright. I'll watch. Nawaki, give it a try. Teacher would like to see it too." Ueno Juri, hearing the commotion, also came over.
Nawaki, who had almost failed to perform, became excited again. With so many people watching, he was going to make a big impression this time.
Warming up, Nawaki spread his palms and began forming hand seals at an extremely slow pace. Even calling it slow was flattering; the speed was simply indescribable.
"Water Style: Water Colliding Wave!"
A small stream of water shot from Nawaki's mouth. The people around him, expecting some grand technique, were met with an awkward silence.
He had indeed learned the ninjutsu, but… the effect seemed rather underwhelming. It would probably be quite powerful against small flying insects, though.
"Nawaki, are you sure that was Water Colliding Wave? I thought you just drooled," Hyuga Matsuba broke the awkward silence.
"Teacher, teacher, is this the kind of skill we learn in school? Will we be too weak when we fight?"
Nawaki didn't know what to say. If there had been a wall in front of him, he would have gladly run into it and died.
"I just performed poorly this time. Give me another chance, I was amazing last time!" Nawaki made an excuse for himself and prepared to activate the ninjutsu again.
But under such an embarrassing situation, Nawaki's performance was bound to be affected. In his second attempt, Nawaki didn't even drool, and not a single drop of water was seen.
