Mikoto's Efforts

"You big fat worm, you think you can beat me? Wake up! Idiot!" Uchiha Ken started to get carried away.

Rage Value +1

Choza Akimichi's veins bulged. He hated being called fat. He already thought Uchiha Ken was too arrogant, and now he wanted to cook and eat him.

"You're too full of yourself! Take this!" A powerful punch instantly flew towards Uchiha Ken's face.

"Tch, such a slow attack. Are you practicing tai chi?" Uchiha Ken dodged the attack by slightly sidestepping. Even after fighting several matches earlier, he could still easily dodge punches of this caliber.

Seeing Uchiha Ken dodge to the side, Choza Akimichi had a flash of inspiration, a glint in his eyes.

His obese body also leaped in the direction Uchiha Ken dodged, knocking the inflated Uchiha Ken to the ground and landing on top of him.

If it was about raw strength, Uchiha Ken definitely couldn't compare to Choza Akimichi. Now that Choza Akimichi was lying on top of him, he couldn't move at all.

Uchiha Ken struggled a few times with all his might. Choza Akimichi felt a bit of pain and used a clever move to kick the Uchiha Ken lying on the ground again.

Choza Akimichi's fat served as a shock absorber, but Uchiha Ken didn't have that much flesh, so he took the hit squarely.

"That's enough, sparring should stop when it's reached the agreed point," Ueno Juri quickly separated the two.

Choza Akimichi got up, patted his clothes, and whispered to Shikaku Nara, "You really are clever. He'll be too embarrassed to show his face ever again."

"This is a piece of cake for a ninja. You can't use any other tools in school sparring, or you would have been seriously injured. Don't be so reckless in a real fight next time," Shikaku Nara said slowly.

Choza Akimichi's victory this time was due to catching Uchiha Ken off guard. Otherwise, the gap between them in other aspects was not small, and the outcome of the match would have been different.

"You're a scoundrel!"

Uchiha Ken felt so wronged. Being pinned down by such a fat guy, he couldn't move at all, let alone counterattack. He felt it was unfair.

"When you get to the battlefield, who's going to care about fairness? If you feel wronged, I can spar with you once," Hyuga Matsuba spoke up.

With things as they were, Uchiha Ken pouted. If he still had any chakra, he might have had some strength, but his chakra was now almost depleted.

Based on taijutsu alone, Hyuga Matsuba's abilities were definitely superior to his.

Hyuga Matsuba raised an eyebrow, turned around, and went to find Mikoto, who was practicing alone.

"Mikoto, let's take a break. We should head home."

Mikoto was still extracting chakra from her body. Hearing this, she opened her eyes and tilted her head, looking at Hyuga Matsuba cutely.

Hyuga Matsuba's heart fluttered. As if bewitched, he reached out and ruffled Mikoto's hair.

A blush appeared on her face again. Mikoto stood up and looked in the direction of the setting sun, quietly complaining, "Time passes so quickly!"

"I understand you want to improve your skills, but practice takes time. You can't rush things!" Hyuga Matsuba said earnestly.

"Okay, I understand." Mikoto said this, but her face was full of determination.

On the surface, Mikoto seemed easy to talk to, gentle and weak, but once she set a goal, she would do her utmost to achieve it.

Hyuga Matsuba also noticed that Mikoto wasn't listening to him and looked helpless. They had been living together for some time, and their understanding of each other deepened.

"If your Sharingan evolves, your level will significantly increase in a short period. If it becomes a Kage-level Mangekyo, you'll become like a Kage-level ninja."

Mikoto pursed her lips. "Before, in the Uchiha Clan, it seems only Madara Uchiha could do that. Evolving into Mangekyo Sharingan isn't that easy; it's just easier said than done."

Hyuga Matsuba remained silent. Having watched the world of Naruto before, he already understood how the Mangekyo Sharingan was activated.

If he had the Sharingan himself, he might not be able to activate it. But if it was to help someone else, it would be a piece of cake.

Hyuga Matsuba could help any member of the Uchiha Clan activate their Sharingan, as long as they had some talent. It was a trivial matter, but the cost was very high, and he didn't want Mikoto to suffer any harm.

If Hyuga Matsuba used Tsukuyomi on her, that technique might immediately stimulate the generation of Mikoto's Sharingan.

But if it caused her too much trauma, to the point of mental breakdown, then the harm would outweigh the benefit.

"It's okay. I have a method to help others activate their Sharingan, but this method comes with a great price. If it really comes to that, you might have to suffer." Hyuga Matsuba said.

He had already thought of a way to help Mikoto. Although it was a bit cruel, in the Uchiha clan, it seemed that the activation of the Sharingan could only be triggered by mental stimulation.

"What!" Mikoto exclaimed happily. This was truly good news.

"I'm not lying to you, but I have to be upfront about the consequences."

"What is it? I haven't activated my Sharingan yet anyway. If I could activate it, wouldn't that be even better?"

"This method will definitely allow you to activate the Mangekyo, but there's a very fatal drawback. If you use this skill frequently, the damage to your eyes will be significant, and you might not be able to see the world anymore." Hyuga Matsuba was not joking.

This point was indeed an objective reality.

The air fell silent. Mikoto made her decision: "If the price is this high, then I don't want it."

Although she desperately wanted to possess that thing, she couldn't accept not being able to see the world.

"It's okay. Later, I'll find a safe method to help you obtain the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and you won't have to worry then." Hyuga Matsuba patted Mikoto's back.

He was the System's favored son. With the System's help, finding a safe and efficient method would be a piece of cake.

"The Eternal version?"

Mikoto couldn't believe what he was saying. She had some understanding of the Sharingan when she was in the clan. The entire clan knew about it.

But she had never heard of the Eternal version; this was the first time.

"Hey! What are you two sneaking around there for?" Nawaki came to meddle again.

"None of your business," Hyuga Matsuba replied, and quietly said to Mikoto, "I'll tell you more when we get home tonight."

School life was very relaxed. If there were no unexpected events, they could go home very early. Hyuga Matsuba was very satisfied with this. His school life before transmigrating was truly miserable.

Moreover, this school had very lax management. If your practical skills were excellent enough, the content of your practical lessons was entirely up to you to arrange.
