Mangekyo Awakens! (Please Follow, Vote Monthly Tickets, and Recommendation Tickets)
A lottery!?
Hokage Byakuya: [It seems it really is just as we analyzed before. After Fugaku stepped down, I became the clan head, and then I got one chance to draw.]
After the gathering ended, all the Uchiha clan members dispersed. The matter of how to handle the current struggle between the Uchiha and Konoha was scheduled to be discussed tomorrow during the day.
As soon as he returned, he opened the lottery interface.
Pirate Byakuya: [Damn, you changed the plot already? Then draw and see what you get!]
Slice of Life Byakuya: [For the Chat Group's first draw, get a Rinnegan right away!]
Hokage Byakuya: [I wouldn't even dare dream that big!]
That was way too outrageous.
A Rinnegan right off the bat?
He did not even dare have that kind of dream.
Zombie Byakuya: [You're too timid. I'd dare!]
It was only a dream. What was there to be afraid of?
Hokage Byakuya: [Then I'm drawing!]
As he looked at the giant roulette wheel, the lottery interface appeared before him.
All kinds of abilities and items from the Naruto World appeared on the wheel.
There were abilities ranging from low to high. Transformation Jutsu Mastery was on it, and even the God Tree was there.
These projections also appeared in the Chat Group, allowing the other Byakuyas to see them.
Yokai Byakuya: [Holy shit? A Sage Body? Six Paths Power? A Tomoe Rinnegan?]
So you could just whale your way to becoming stronger?
He wanted to whale too!
Bai Ye clicked Start, and the giant roulette wheel began spinning rapidly.
Then, the pointer slowly started to move, looking as though it would soon stop.
"Anything but the Orochimaru-Style Body Replacement Jutsu!!"
Fuck!
Bai Ye genuinely could not accept the Orochimaru-Style Body Replacement Jutsu.
A person spat out a snake, a snake spat out a person, a person spat out a sword, a snake spat out a sword.
That thing was seriously disgusting.
Fortunately, even though the pointer was about to stop, it still moved past it.
It reached the Sage Body slot.
"Let it be the Sage Body! The Sage Body is fine!! Damn!! It passed it again? Mangekyo? That doesn't seem too bad either!"
After passing the Sage Body, the pointer finally stopped on Mangekyo.
In an instant, Bai Ye felt the Three Tomoe in his eyes spin wildly. Then, a pattern of black ice crystals appeared in his eye sockets.
Ōwatatsumi and Iroha.
The two ocular techniques instantly surfaced in Bai Ye's mind.
After learning what they could do, Bai Ye went numb.
They were this powerful?!
In Japanese legend, Ōwatatsumi was the god who controlled the sea.
Thus, Ōwatatsumi granted him the ability to freely control the sea and create a kind of Black Water. Black Water could extinguish any flame and inflict a gravity effect. Anyone submerged within it, soul included, would be buried in the Black Water forever.
Iroha, on the other hand, was a god who governed medicine.
Iroha granted Bai Ye the ability to restore himself. He could place marks on others, and once someone was marked, Bai Ye could draw their stamina and life force at any time to restore himself. Even if he was on the verge of death, he could instantly recover by drawing another person's life force. He could also transfer another person's life force to someone else, though it would only have fifty percent of the effect when used by the original body.
One granted Bai Ye combat power, while the other provided endurance and formidable vitality.
It was because he desired to change the Uchiha clan's current situation through force, yet also feared dying due to insufficient strength.
He needed great power, so Ōwatatsumi appeared. And because he feared death, Iroha appeared.
The Sharingan truly deserved to be called the eye that reflected the heart.
Pirate Byakuya: [Holy shit, bro!? You actually did it?]
Yokai Byakuya: [You fucking awakened Mangekyo just like that?]
What?!
They had only been talking about it before.
They had imagined Bai Ye awakening Mangekyo, then using Susanoo, and if he got Wood Release too, he could directly use Susanoo Giant Buddha.
But that had only been wishful thinking. Deep down, everyone knew that awakening Mangekyo required emotional stimulation.
The most direct way was for someone closest to you to die, but he had already made it clear that he did not have anyone like that.
So Bai Ye awakening Mangekyo had seemed rather unlikely.
Yet they had only talked about it yesterday, and he awakened it today?
Wasn't that a little too fast?
Hokage Byakuya: [Didn't I let you all borrow it to awaken yours? By the way, does opening Mangekyo consume ocular power in your worlds?]
He had roughly calculated it just now. If he used these two abilities a little too often, he would probably end up like Uchiha Sasuke and wear out his Mangekyo within a month.
So there were only two options before him.
The first was to obtain a Sage Body or transplant Hashirama Cells.
The second was an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
Unfortunately, he could not obtain a Sage Body himself. Hashirama Cells could be transplanted, but he would have to seek out the mad scientist Orochimaru, which was extremely risky. Tsunade could do it too, but he would first need to cure her hemophobia.
As for an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, that went without saying. He did not even have any relatives, so how could he possibly awaken one?
Pirate Byakuya: [I just tried it. Other than my mouth still being tough, the rest of my body has gone limp!]
Yokai Byakuya: [That's too ridiculous. The moment I used your Mangekyo ocular technique, all my stamina was drained, but your technique really is powerful!]
Slice of Life Byakuya: [I get dizzy just opening one tomoe!]
Zombie Byakuya: [I can't open Mangekyo. I can only reach Three Tomoe. Mangekyo consumes way too much stamina!]
Abilities from another world consumed far too much stamina, especially Mangekyo. In other worlds, its ocular power consumption had turned into stamina consumption.
Hokage Byakuya: [These ocular techniques really are powerful. Even I can't use them many times, but having Mangekyo is still better than Three Tomoe, right?]
He understood that very clearly.
Naturally, awakening Mangekyo was better than having Three Tomoe.
Even if overusing it would make him go blind, without it, facing someone with Mangekyo would be a complete dimensional gap.
However, after drawing Mangekyo this time, Bai Ye began considering where he should alter the plot next to gain another lottery opportunity.
First, there was still plenty he could change within the Uchiha clan itself. The Police Force should count as well.
There was also Shisui. Although Shisui was overly saintly, he had not been like Itachi in the early days.
Shisui himself wanted to change the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha.
He simply trusted Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo too much.
That was why his Mangekyo had been taken from him.
Right now, Shisui was someone he could win over. If Shisui chose to stand with him, then Itachi might also become a possibility.
That way, they could unite the Uchiha clan's strength against Konoha.
Instead of having the Uchiha's internal strength divided into several factions, each exhausting the others, only to ultimately be dragged into clan extermination by Konoha.
