One Must Have Ideals

After experimenting, Minagawa Uchiha finally confirmed that his Dual Mangekyō Ninjutsu could be used in tandem, no longer limited to their originally monotonous methods of application. Intangibility, invisibility, and evading death were merely basic abilities.

If he was willing to pay the price, he could even distort reality and create objects from nothingness!

As Minagawa Uchiha inwardly cursed those who had squandered such gifts, he was also in high spirits. Only now did he feel that he possessed the proper prestige of a Transmigrator. A cheat ability? In this world where Chakra was omnipotent, as long as he had enough information, even without one, he could make a cheat ability for himself!

Now that he had created his own cheat, Minagawa Uchiha felt that the seas were wide enough for fish to leap and the skies high enough for birds to fly. He would stop overthinking everything else. Once he had figured out the applications of the Interchange of Reality and Illusion, he would go cause trouble!

Thus, Minagawa Uchiha picked up the scroll from the floor, now stripped of its negative Chakra. Looking at the sealing patterns on it, the great pinwheels in his eyes began to spin.

When Minagawa Uchiha focused his Dojutsu Power on those sealing patterns, he activated his ocular technique and attempted to turn them into illusions.

In an instant, Minagawa Uchiha expended a small amount of Chakra and Dojutsu Power. Starting from the center of his focus, the patterns on the scroll rapidly vanished from the inside out.

Minagawa Uchiha first carefully checked the scroll and found it completely undamaged. Looking at the patterns again, only a few specks of ink remained around the edges of the scroll.

"Overall, it worked. But I'll need to practice controlling it more precisely. From the looks of it, breaking seals should be easy for me now. After all, a seal is like a precision electronic device—if anything goes wrong anywhere, it loses its intended function."

Minagawa Uchiha closed his eyes and carefully sensed the Chakra and Dojutsu Power he had expended. Before long, he opened his eyes again, his face full of helplessness.

"I can only say that every gain comes with a loss. Such a powerful ability is bound to consume a great deal of Chakra and Dojutsu Power. Right now, my age limits me, and my body has become my weakness. It seems I need to solve that problem first. I don't want to end up like Uchiha Itachi, having my body dragged down by the Mangekyō Sharingan while I'm still so young."

"Hm, that won't be too hard to solve. I was going to make a move sooner or later as part of my plan anyway, so I'll just move it up. But first, I need to see whether this method will work."

Without another word, Minagawa Uchiha rose and headed for the kitchen. Since he had decided to awaken his eyes today, he had made ample preparations.

Upon reaching the kitchen, Minagawa Uchiha walked over to a cage in the corner. The rabbits inside shrank anxiously into the corner when they saw someone approaching. Without the slightest pity, Minagawa Uchiha lifted out two rabbits. He used a Kunai to shave off a tuft of fur over one rabbit's heart, then cut a piece of flesh from the other rabbit and placed it back into the cage.

"I don't have time to treat your wound right now. I was originally planning to experiment on all of you, but considering the strain that Dojutsu Power and Chakra place on my body, this is the only way. Hopefully, it succeeds in one try."

After a moment's thought, he swiftly tossed a Soldier Pill into his mouth. His Mangekyō Sharingan activated, and the great pinwheels began to turn. In an instant, Minagawa Uchiha, the rabbit in his hand, and the piece of flesh all became illusory.

The next moment, Minagawa Uchiha brought the rabbit into a fantastical space. This was the Dream Space that had formed after Minagawa Uchiha awakened Izanagi and Izanami.

This space appeared extremely unstable because it did not originally exist in reality. It was a temporary Dream Space. Whenever either Izanagi or Izanami needed to transform something into a dream, they did so through this space.

Ordinarily, when the Sharingan used these ocular techniques, the caster could not perceive this space at all. They merely passed through it in an instant while transforming a dream.

However, with the ocular techniques in both his eyes complementing one another, Minagawa Uchiha could enter this Dream Space—born from the evolution of Izanagi and Izanami—for extended periods. Within this Dream Space, Minagawa Uchiha was a god who could control everything in the dream.

Minagawa Uchiha intended to turn the rabbit and the piece of flesh from reality into illusions within this dream, conduct an experiment entirely under his control, and then attempt to use Materialization to Reality to bring them back out. If it could still survive, that would mean success.

Just three minutes later, Minagawa Uchiha reappeared in the kitchen with the rabbit.

Watching the rabbit flee into a corner and tremble again, Minagawa Uchiha revealed a gratified smile.

"Ha ha ha, it worked!"

Minagawa Uchiha's excited voice rang out through the dim room.

Although Minagawa Uchiha had been highly confident of success, this was still his first experiment, and the process had been exceedingly crude. An accident might have happened. But when he thought of what he had done in the Dream Space, all his concerns vanished.

He placed the rabbit alone in a new cage and fed it some food, planning to observe it again tomorrow. Using the Mangekyō's ocular technique, he had forcibly fused the cells of the two, transforming their rejection response into mutual adaptation. Without outside interference, the cells had successfully adapted to each other.

Materializing them back into reality had not consumed much Chakra either, which meant the experiment could also be completed in reality. Still, they were two separate individuals, and Minagawa Uchiha did not know whether new adverse reactions would emerge in the real world.

After settling the rabbit, Minagawa Uchiha returned to the bed in his bedroom, his thoughts gradually turning toward plans for the future. Ever since fully awakening his memories half a year ago, he had lived in terror of the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall, desperately placing all his hopes on awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan. He had not had the spare attention to make any other plans.

Now, he had finally stepped out from the shadow of the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall. Whether he stayed or left was entirely up to him. With the abilities he now possessed, as long as he was not careless, almost no one in the shinobi world could threaten him. Even if he could not win, he could still escape. The world was vast, and he could go anywhere.

"So, what kind of person do I want to become? In this world of supernatural beings, anything is possible. Should I pursue immortality like those fanfiction predecessors and stand at the peak of the shinobi world? Or should I unite the shinobi world like even more of them and promote red ideals? Or perhaps find a partner who is neither beautiful nor ugly and peacefully enjoy a pastoral life?"

"Ah, just as people say, when you toss a coin, you already know what you want. Sure enough, I'm not someone who can quietly abide by the rules. Besides, after all these years, I have family and friends in the shinobi world whom I can't let go of."

"In this world where the line between life and death is blurred, I'll have to revive my parents sooner or later. And with the inevitably turbulent Fourth Great Ninja War ahead, as well as the arrival of the Otsutsuki Clan, it's impossible to live quietly as some hidden master, whether in terms of time or space."

"Then I can only strengthen myself, unite the shinobi world, and have a fight with the Otsutsuki Clan! As a Transmigrator, if I don't have the spirit to dare be the first under heaven, can I even call myself a Transmigrator?"
