The moonlight dimmed further, and the sun began to peek over the eastern horizon.
Looking at Kakashi, who was overcome with self-reproach,
Uchiha Jin sighed once more. The power of smooth talk really was something else!
Of course, he'd been able to push Kakashi into such a predicament with just a few words
because he'd read the original story.
That was like watching the Shinobi World from atop a giant!
In short: giant-watching!
Not long after, a new notification appeared before Jin's eyes.
Cooldown complete. Copyable Trait—begin!
[After speaking with Fifty-Fifty... Kakashi Hatake for ten minutes, attempting to copy traits.]
[Currently copyable traits: Weak Constitution (Black), Kamui Eye (Gold), Sharingan (Purple), Fire Style Mastery (Blue), Water Style Mastery (Blue), Lightning Release Mastery (Blue), Earth Style Mastery (Blue), Taijutsu Mastery (Blue), Genjutsu Mastery (Blue), Thousand Years of Death (Black)...]
[Copy failed.]
"Failed again?"
Jin nodded, unsurprised.
His success rate had been stuck at 10% for far too long.
And after that first lucky streak, Jin had learned all too well that 10% was basically the same as nothing.
Still, he wasn't annoyed.
His gaze simply drifted to Kamui.
The trait hadn't been there the last time they met, but now it had appeared.
"Did the system realize the power level was getting out of hand and give Kakashi a buff?"
"Or did Obito sneak back into the Leaf, and the two eyes somehow sensed each other?"
Jin pondered for a moment, then suddenly said to Kakashi,
"Senior Kakashi, want to have a match?"
"Hm?"
Kakashi paused, then waved a hand listlessly.
"Oh, no. I give up."
He had no desire to fight right now.
His mind was entirely occupied with how he could change things.
"Whether you fight or not is up to—"
Jin didn't care. But just as he was about to force the issue, the sight before him left him stunned.
[Beating Kakashi Hatake. Attempting to copy traits.]
[Copy successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Legendary Trait Kamui Eye (Gold).]
[Kamui Eye (Gold): Can forcibly twist objects in the field of vision and send them into another dimension. Can also teleport the user into and out of that dimension. The larger and stronger the object, the more Chakra consumed. Minimum consumption: 10,000.]
Even Jin was stunned for two seconds when he saw the notification.
Then it hit him.
Kamui!
Kakashi's Kamui!
Not Obito's version, which was practically useless to him!
As long as his ocular power was sufficient, this Kamui could twist away an arm of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path from an incredible distance!
A glint flashed in Jin's eyes, and a smile spread from their depths. He murmured,
"After all this time in this world, I finally have a decent offensive technique..."
Honestly, whether it was Golden Body of Light, Weak Presence, or even Flying Thunder God,
their mechanics were good enough, but their numbers were lacking.
That was right: damage output.
Which was stronger, mechanics or numbers?
It depended on the situation.
But without damage, throwing shuriken around might work in the early stages.
What about later?
In the late-stage Shinobi World, where everyone was summoning giant mechs, would he Flying Thunder God in and poke one in the chest with a shuriken?
He'd be better off tightening its bolts!
That was why, despite having maxed out his survival skills,
he still obediently stayed home sunbathing and building up his Chakra.
With enough Chakra, even the Great Fireball Technique could kill someone!
As for the 10,000 Chakra consumed each time...
"Fifty-Fifty seems to be able to use it twice in a row. Any more than that, and he'd be pushing himself."
"So an Elite Jonin like Kakashi probably has around 20,000 to 30,000 Chakra? I've got about seventy or eighty Kakashis' worth?"
His eyes lit up.
At last, he had a clear sense of how much Chakra he possessed.
There was no other choice. Kakashi was the most suitable unit of measurement.
"And Kakashi once said Naruto had over a hundred times as much Chakra as he did..."
"So Naruto has around two to three million Chakra?"
"By that reckoning, my 1.8 million Chakra is already close to that of an adult Uzumaki Clan member..."
With that thought, Jin walked over to Kakashi, who was leaning against a tree.
He reached out to pat him on the shoulder.
But... at only seven or eight years old, Jin was tall for his age.
Still, Kakashi had long legs, and Jin couldn't quite reach.
After a moment's hesitation, he planted a foot on the tree beside them.
Step.
Step.
Step.
He slowly climbed up the trunk, patted Kakashi on the head, and gave him a sympathetic look.
"Ah, poor Fifty-Fifty."
"See you next week."
With that, he turned and left.
He couldn't wait to test out Kamui's power.
Behind him, Kakashi remained where he was, frozen.
He looked up, lowered his hand,
turned around, and patted his shoulder.
It was all a bit baffling.
Only after a while did he furrow his brow and mutter, "Why did his expression just now make me feel... like I'd been insulted?"
"Heh."
"If all Uchiha were like you, perhaps the Leaf really would be at peace."
If Jin had heard that, he would have laughed his head off.
If they were all like him?
Then the Five Great Nations would probably merge into one.
A bright red star shining above it!
Splash.
Splash.
By the Naka River,
a young figure gradually approached.
Uchiha Jin glanced at the river before him and took a deep breath.
The Kamui trait gleamed before his eyes.
Then he looked at his more than 1.8 million Chakra!
He took another deep breath.
The next second, the Three-Tomoe Sharingan appeared.
It spun rapidly,
the tomoe in his pupils joining together in the shape of "666."
At first glance, it still looked like the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Only the middle had grown much larger.
The next instant, an unusual ripple emanated from his eyes.
Mysterious.
Powerful.
Unstoppable.
An overwhelming force of space erupted before him!
Whoosh!
Soon, an air vortex about as tall as a person appeared above the river.
It wasn't high, but it hovered just right above the water.
Splash!
The Naka River kept flowing, unaffected.
Only a section in the middle had quietly disappeared.
"So that's the Kamui Dimension?"
As Jin looked at the space, a sudden understanding dawned on him.
All he had to do was wish it, and he could teleport himself inside at any time.
"I wonder how long it can last..."
He murmured, then began channeling power through both eyes.
Kakashi had only one eye, but Jin—
Double Left Eye!
He unleashed its full power!
Splash, splash, splash!
The next second, his Chakra began rapidly draining, dropping by nearly 50,000 every second!
But the results were astonishing.
The Naka River shrank at a visible rate!
Thirty seconds later, this river, which had flowed here for thousands of years, was left clear and empty, its riverbed exposed for the first time!
The same sunrise, different fortunes.
"Well, Itachi? Have you thought it over? Will you join my organization and seek the true light with me?"
"You again?!"
In the Uchiha's Back Mountain, Itachi suddenly stopped and looked toward the figure nearby.
The masked man perched on a rock.
The next second, Itachi flicked his hand and sent three shuriken flying.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The Masked Man let out a strange laugh. "That won't work, Itachi. An attack like that can't even touch me!"
"Since you don't believe me, then—let me show you what true power is!"
The next second, his exposed right eye narrowed slightly.
Kamui!
