Copying Openly Was Called Copying

"Sure enough, for me, the master of this dream, fusing cellular genes posed no difficulty at all. Besides, both the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan inherited the Divine Tree's power, so there was already a high chance that this fusion could succeed."

"With such a powerful body, such surging chakra and vitality, if I could fully convert them from illusion to reality, then the flaws of my Mangekyō, and my weakness of insufficient chakra, should both be greatly alleviated."

That was indeed the case. Although Minagawa Uchiha's Mangekyo Sharingan could seemingly turn illusory things from dreams into reality, given his current strength, he still had to abide by the fundamental rules of the real world.

Only things that could possibly exist or be accomplished in reality could truly be transferred into the real world. Moreover, the fewer changes made to something through Materialization to Void, the less chakra would be consumed when converting it back into reality through Materialization to Reality. If he tried to create something from nothing, the chakra consumption would simply be immeasurable.

Simply put, Minagawa Uchiha's Materialization to Reality was a struggle against the Grand Cosmic Rules. The more unreasonable the thing he materialized was, the more it would be rejected by the Grand Cosmos, and naturally, the greater the consumption would be.

It could only be said that the upper limit of Minagawa Uchiha's dojutsu was extremely high. However, limited by his own strength, he could not bring out even a fraction of its potential. Only by following rules that could be achieved in reality could he successfully use it at a relatively small cost.

Therefore, Minagawa Uchiha had not crudely used his authority in Dream Space to directly devour and fuse with White Zetsu. He had merely intervened without making any changes, allowing them to naturally adapt and fuse on their own. Only then would Materialization to Reality have a chance of succeeding.

Deep within the silent forest, the air was suddenly forced outward from a central point. The rushing airflow made the nearby flowers, grass, and leaves rustle, shattering the stillness.

At that moment, a young man bearing the Uchiha clan crest suddenly appeared. The instant he emerged, he collapsed facedown on the ground, gasping heavily as though he had exhausted himself completely.

"It seems that even after altering the original body, converting it into reality still requires even more chakra. After turning White Zetsu into illusion earlier, and maintaining Dream Space for so long, even taking a Soldier Pill to replenish my chakra was still a drop in the bucket. Luckily, after the fusion succeeded, my chakra reserves increased rapidly. Otherwise, this time would have been dangerous."

Although Minagawa Uchiha looked shaken, he felt the rapidly recovering chakra within him, the vigorous life force filling his body, and the warm current flowing through his eyes. He could not stop himself from chuckling. If he had not feared drawing attention with too much noise, he would probably have been dancing with excitement.

"Hmm, it seems these White Zetsu Cells aren't that powerful. Although my dojutsu power is gradually recovering, it hasn't reached the level where I can use it as freely as Obito Uchiha. Perhaps the half-White Zetsu body Obito Uchiha received had been specially modified by Uchiha Madara."

"The greater gain is still this surging chakra. The powerful Mental Strength from two lifetimes, enhanced by the Mangekyō Sharingan, and now the powerful vitality provided by the fused White Zetsu Cells... My chakra should rank among the higher end even among Kage Level ninja now, right? And it will probably increase severalfold over the next few years."

"Maybe I can reach Hashirama Senju's level someday. He was the absolute monster who dared compare chakra reserves with Naruto and the Nine-Tails. Hmm... why does Wood Style suddenly feel like it has lost its appeal? With such massive chakra reserves, I could just overwhelm everything with raw power."

"Next, I should learn more ninjutsu. That way, I can put all this chakra to use. I can't use the Mangekyō Sharingan against every little nobody, can I? After that, I need to properly integrate my abilities and strive to bring out one hundred percent of what I know in battle."

"Combat experience is especially important in the Ninja World, a world with high offense and low defense. Ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu—none of them can be neglected. Luckily, I have the Sharingan and the ability to turn intangible. I can completely go around learning from others... No, I should call it copying. After all, Copy Ninja Kakashi had already made a name for himself throughout the Ninja World."

"And most importantly, White Zetsu's abilities. The Impersonation Technique is useful. The Mayfly Technique can wait, but the spore technique and chakra-draining ability are extremely useful to me right now."

With his plans settled, Minagawa Uchiha quietly returned home, intending to rest well before going to the various Training Grounds at dawn to copy some practical ninjutsu.

There was No Way around it. Minagawa Uchiha currently only knew the Three Basic Jutsu taught by the academy and two ninjutsu left behind by his parents. One was the Great Fireball Technique, famed for its absurdly high appearance rate yet for never hitting anyone.

The other was the highly practical Shadow Clone Technique. It was also the ninjutsu he had used most frequently in the half year since awakening his memories. After all, Minagawa Uchiha was still a Ninja Academy student, and he needed a great deal of time to prepare for Awakening Eyes. Since he did not want to expose anything unusual about himself, he could only leave the tedious matter of attending school to a Shadow Clone.

Early the next morning, Minagawa Uchiha sent out another Shadow Clone to attend school while his original body went to the Ninja Tool Shop and bought a piece of Chakra Paper for testing chakra natures.

Minagawa Uchiha's chakra natures had previously been the same as Uchiha Sasuke's: lightning and fire. However, after fusing with White Zetsu Cells the night before, he guessed that his chakra natures should now include water and earth as well.

After all, Hashirama Senju's Wood Style was a Kekkei Genkai formed by fusing water and earth natures. Of course, according to information Minagawa Uchiha had from his previous life, more people believed that Hashirama Senju's Wood Style was not a Kekkei Genkai, but a Kekkei Tōta that also incorporated Yang Release. Wood Style's vigorous vitality and its ability to absorb and suppress chakra did not resemble powers a Kekkei Genkai could possess at all.

Minagawa Uchiha quickly arrived at a secluded street corner and silently channeled chakra into the Chakra Paper he had just purchased. The instant it was stimulated by chakra, the paper underwent the corresponding changes.

"This is quite unexpected. I actually possess five chakra natures. No, it should be all natures. I already had the Uchiha Clan's Yin Release, and now I have Yang Release from the White Zetsu fusion."

"This really is surprising. Perhaps it is because White Zetsu was cultivated through the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. After all, the Demonic Statue must possess every chakra nature, so it makes sense that I, having fused with White Zetsu, would have all the Demonic Statue's chakra natures as well."

After some thought, having found the answer, Minagawa Uchiha did not linger. The Mangekyō in his eyes slowly turned, and his figure vanished from that secluded street corner.
