The anomalous abilities spawned by the Mangekyo were most powerful in Shisui Uchiha's and Obito's eyes. One could control another person's will, while the other could manipulate space. Both were immensely powerful.
Could the system predict the abilities of these two eyes? The thought struck Hyuga Matsuba, and he immediately entered the system interface.
However, he did not summon the system. Instead, he opened his settings page and found the two eyeballs he had just obtained in his backpack.
"I didn't expect to find the eyes in the backpack. But it makes sense. They weren't mine to begin with, so how could they count as my equipment?"
Upon closer inspection, he found that the system had actually added a tiny line of description for them. Hyuga Matsuba had nearly missed it.
This was something he had learned from experience: system descriptions were generally difficult to spot.
Still, he could not understand why the system did not simply make the font bigger. If he had not looked carefully and unexpectedly noticed those words, Hyuga Matsuba would never have known that the system even provided descriptions.
After he clicked the tiny text, more detailed information appeared.
One of the abilities was called Amaterasu. The moment Hyuga Matsuba saw it, his face darkened.
This ability was advertised as incredibly powerful, supposedly "the strongest in the universe" and "number one in all of Naruto."
Yet after all this time, it had not successfully killed a single person. Those titles really did seem like false advertising.
But the second ability was not to be underestimated.
Phantom Clone: The user could summon another Phantom Clone, which possessed a small portion of the user's abilities. In actual combat, the user could swap bodies with the Phantom Clone.
This was clearly no ordinary ability, but it required a massive amount of Chakra to activate. Once the Chakra was exhausted, the Phantom Clone would also cease to exist.
After browsing through everything, Hyuga Matsuba closed the system. Dinner was almost ready, and Mikoto was still waiting outside.
After dinner, to Hyuga Matsuba's surprise, Mikoto returned to the bedroom to train as well.
"Mikoto may be ambitious, but isn't this taking things a little too far?"
Hyuga Matsuba naturally had no idea that, after learning his true strength, Mikoto had resolved to work even harder to make up for the enormous gap between them.
Mikoto was quick to learn, and she had possessed the Sharingan for a long time. It had happened years ago, and only Hyuga Matsuba knew about it.
Mikoto had told him that her Sharingan awakened on the day her grandfather died.
When he first heard that, Hyuga Matsuba found it hard to believe that Mikoto had already possessed the Sharingan back then. But after giving it some thought, he understood. Her grandfather's death must have dealt Mikoto a devastating blow.
After suffering such severe emotional trauma, and with Mikoto's innate talent being no weaker than anyone else's, it was very possible that her Sharingan had formed at that time.
Mikoto used to chat with Hyuga Matsuba about everything after dinner. Now she was training in seclusion. With nothing to do as he sat there, Hyuga Matsuba decided to train as well.
The current Hyuga Matsuba was no longer focused solely on training to improve his taijutsu. Instead, he trained the Tenseigan's gravitational power.
Using his own gravity directly could improve his abilities in a short time, and it provided all-around enhancement without blind spots. It could even strengthen the organs inside his body.
As for skill proficiency, he left that to his clones. Hyuga Matsuba only knew a few Ninjutsu at present, and he had mastered them long ago.
As for the Tenseigan's Dojutsu, Hyuga Matsuba did not need to improve that either. He only needed to accumulate Chakra now, and everything would work out when the time came.
Hyuga Matsuba's current tasks were to practice Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and swordsmanship, become proficient with the Glint-Glint Fruit, and acquire more Chakra.
While practicing swordsmanship, he could treat it as a way to loosen up his muscles and bones while improving his physical fitness. It was killing two birds with one stone.
The Glint-Glint Fruit required him to improve his control over light in order to raise his level. That was rather difficult, so Hyuga Matsuba planned to deal with it later.
This was the drawback of having too many abilities. There were simply too many things that needed proficiency training. Fortunately, Hyuga Matsuba was extraordinarily gifted, or he definitely would not have been able to manage it all.
After this short break, they returned to school. Whenever the lessons covered something boring, Hyuga Matsuba quietly trained by himself as he had before.
When afternoon outdoor practice arrived, he practiced operating his customized short blade alone.
There was no other way around it. Hyuga Matsuba desperately wanted to wield Ryujin Jakka, but his height limited him. If he dragged around such an enormous sword, would he not be laughed to death?
"Hey, Matsuba. Your reactions are way too slow. Even if your opponent were a civilian who knew nothing, they could still dodge your attacks. What's the point of swinging that thing around?"
"Come on, Nawaki, you don't understand." Hyuga Matsuba rolled his eyes at Nawaki.
The reason Hyuga Matsuba swung his blade so slowly was because a massive gravitational force was active inside his body. If he were merely swinging his sword, no one could rival his speed.
"What nonsense. What do you mean, I don't understand? I can use Ninjutsu now. Want me to show you?"
Nawaki raised his head, looking unbearably smug.
"Oh? Nawaki, you can use Ninjutsu too?"
"Nawaki is from the Senju Clan. What's so impressive about something this minor?"
Nawaki spoke loudly enough for the nearby students to hear. They all learned the news and began praising his abilities.
"Hmm? Which one can you use?" Hyuga Matsuba raised an eyebrow.
"I'll show you, and you'll know. It's extremely powerful, so you all better move back."
Hearing everyone praise him, Nawaki was practically floating into the sky.
"Nawaki, there are rules against this at school!"
Shikaku Nara kindly reminded him.
"It's fine. I'll watch over him. Nawaki, give it a try. Let the teacher see it too." Ueno Juri came over after hearing the commotion.
Nawaki, who had almost been unable to perform just moments ago, became excited again. So many people were watching. This time, he was going to make a grand showing.
After stretching his limbs, Nawaki spread his palms and began forming hand seals at an incredibly slow pace. Calling it slow was already giving him too much credit; the speed was simply indescribable.
Water Style: Water Colliding Wave!
A thin stream of water emerged from Nawaki's mouth. Everyone around him had thought it would be some kind of ultimate move, and the scene became incredibly awkward.
He had indeed learned the Ninjutsu, but... judging by the result, it probably had considerable power against tiny flying insects.
"Nawaki, are you sure that was the Water Colliding Wave you learned? I thought you were drooling." Hyuga Matsuba broke the awkward silence.
"Teacher, teacher, are the abilities we learn at school all like this? Won't we be too weak when we go to war?"
Nawaki did not know what to say. If there had been a wall in front of him, he would have slammed into it and died from embarrassment.
"I just performed badly 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 in such an awkward situation, Nawaki was bound to perform poorly. During his second attempt, he did not even drool, let alone produce a single drop of water.
