Hyuga Makoto was surprised.
He discovered that after introducing the Yin Release he had obtained from Kakashi into his body, he experienced an incredibly wondrous sensation!
"What's going on with these ripples in space?"
Hyuga Makoto couldn't help murmuring as he reached out to touch them.
He simply couldn't seem to touch the ripples, yet his hand stirred up another wave!
The wondrous sensation left him unable to keep from marveling.
"Could Uchiha Obito have activated his power?"
Hyuga Makoto seemed to remember that Uchiha Obito's Kamui had apparently been destined by heaven!
Uchiha Madara had once said that when Obito rescued Kakashi, the boulder passed through his body. Otherwise, there would have been no way to save him.
And at that time, he hadn't even awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan!
"He hadn't even opened his eyes, yet his ability had already started leaking out. This guy really is special..."
Perhaps because of his uniqueness, after Hyuga Makoto obtained part of Kakashi's Yin Release, he had inherited certain traits as well?
"Or maybe this portion of Yin Release is actually a key that helped me unlock something?"
Hyuga Makoto rubbed his chin. The Moon Ōtsutsuki actually possessed a Space Ability.
Otsutsuki Hamura had directly reached the moon through spatial teleportation!
Moreover, the connection between the Shinobi World and the moon was also established through spatial transfer.
"Besides that, the Tenseigan also possesses a Space Ability. After all, Toneri once used the Tenseigan to create a spatial passage between two celestial bodies..."
Hyuga Makoto couldn't help murmuring, and his eyes began to shine.
Regardless of whether it was because of the Tenseigan or his own bloodline, he knew he had struck it rich!
How precious was a Space Ability? Just look at Uchiha Obito.
His basic skills were clearly nothing special, yet relying on Kamui, he had become one of the most troublesome people in the Shinobi World!
Then there was Minato Namikaze, who had used the Flying Thunder God to instantly kill fifty shinobi on the battlefield.
Whether they were genin or jōnin, they were all the same before him!
Even Ōnoki found such an ability incredibly troublesome.
"Although I can't directly control space yet, but..."
As he pondered, Hyuga Makoto took the initiative to activate the Tenseigan, and a golden glow quietly appeared in his eyes.
"I seem to be able to see the changes in space now?"
In his vision, the fluctuations in space seemed to become even more distinct. He appeared able to distinguish the layers of space!
The change left him deeply moved.
He felt that if he worked hard in this direction, he might really be able to utilize space!
"At the very least, I should be able to accomplish simple teleportation..."
[Name: Hyuga Makoto] [Bloodline: Moon Ōtsutsuki (22%)] [Dōjutsu: Tenseigan (5%)] [Chakra Attributes: Yin, Yang] [Main Quest: Become the World Nucleus (6%)]
As he thought about it, Hyuga Makoto also opened his status panel.
He froze after taking only one glance.
"The main quest progress actually increased by three percent?"
He had expected the numerical change to be small, but the main quest's progress was somewhat beyond his expectations!
"Was it Naruto, or what happened outside the village?"
Hyuga Makoto rubbed his chin and pondered silently.
"Although Naruto should account for part of it, he's still too young and needs time to understand his own heart. As for what happened outside..."
This trip had truly verified the correctness of his previous "deduction"!
Orochimaru had indeed joined a mysterious organization, and he had also confirmed Sasori of the Red Sands' identity.
"With both of those added together, it would be strange if the main quest hadn't progressed..."
Hyuga Makoto smiled. He had also thought of something else that made him happy.
That was Uchiha Obito!
If nothing unexpected happened, that guy would come looking for Uchiha Itachi after some time.
"And I disguised myself as him when I dealt with Danzo. Whether I looked like him when I fought is another matter; at least the outfit was the same!"
Hyuga Makoto believed that as long as he handled things properly, his main quest could advance again when the time came.
He was really looking forward to his exclusive quest. That was something capable of bringing him a qualitative transformation!
"Hm? Are you done?"
As he was thinking, he suddenly sensed movement behind him and turned to ask.
"Yeah, I think I've adapted."
Shisui sat up and slowly opened his eyes.
In an instant, a pair of scarlet Three Tomoe appeared in his eyes!
Yet his expression seemed somewhat strange. He rubbed the corners of his eyes before speaking.
"These eyes feel very strange. They're alive, but..."
"Don't be picky. They were pulled from a dead man, after all."
Hyuga Makoto shrugged. It was already good enough that Scorpion could preserve the eyes' vitality. As for anything else, Scorpion probably didn't care himself.
"Tell me, how much of your former strength can you use with these eyes?"
"That's hard to say."
Uchiha Shisui scratched his head. He found the question difficult to answer as well.
"After all, I haven't tested them in actual combat. But my strength will definitely decline quite a bit."
"Is that so?"
Hyuga Makoto nodded. He knew that was inevitable.
But he felt that Shisui would be more than capable of carrying out some Black Market missions. After all, he was Body Flicker Shisui, a ruthless fighter who could use Susanoo with one eye.
Even at his weakest, he was probably stronger than quite a few jōnin!
However, there was something else he was very curious about now.
"Speaking of which, can you still use Susanoo?"
"That..."
Shisui pondered for a moment before speaking uncertainly.
"I'm afraid not right now. I still need to acclimate myself to these eyes. Besides, my previous eyes were Mangekyo, but now..."
"Then work hard in that direction."
Before he could finish, Hyuga Makoto interrupted him directly.
"You could use it with one eye before. Maybe you can still do so now. After all, that power belongs to you."
"Then I'll give it a try..."
Shisui looked troubled. He would never disobey Hyuga Makoto.
But in his view, Susanoo was a power belonging to the Mangekyo!
He had lost his Mangekyo now. Trying to use that power seemed like wishful thinking...
However, Hyuga Makoto didn't see it that way!
Uchiha Madara had already proven that it was possible to use Susanoo even without eyes.
And according to his memories, the only people who seemed capable of using Susanoo despite lacking eyes were Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Madara.
Shisui definitely couldn't compare to Uchiha Madara, but that didn't mean he lacked the potential!
"Put some effort into it."
Hyuga Makoto smiled and raised his head toward the area above them, where the Uchiha district was located.
"Whether it's me or your clan, we may need this power of yours."
"The Uchiha don't need me anymore."
Shisui's expression suddenly became much more solemn, and he spoke seriously.
"I'm already dead. You were the one who saved me, so now I'll serve only you."
"..."
"As for the clan, there's Itachi. I believe he'll definitely handle the relationship between the village and the clan properly!"
"..."
Looking at the confident Shisui, Hyuga Makoto didn't know how to tell him for a moment.
Uchiha Itachi had indeed handled it properly, but he wasn't human...
Hyuga Makoto was truly caught between laughter and tears. Was Shisui simply committed to believing in Uchiha Itachi's wisdom?
Still, this kind of Shisui did put him at ease. He just wondered what Shisui would think of his former best friend after learning about all of Uchiha Itachi's future schemes...
"Do as you like. In any case, train properly."
Hyuga Makoto patted Shisui on the shoulder and spoke with a smile.
"I can't leave the village whenever I want, so I'll need you to handle many things. The stronger you become, the better it will be for us."
"I'll work hard."
Shisui nodded. He knew what Hyuga Makoto intended to do in the future, and he would support him with all his strength!
"Good. Then let's get ready to leave... Hm?"
Hyuga Makoto smiled in satisfaction, but just as he was about to take Shisui away, he suddenly raised his head and stared upward with a strange look in his eyes!
Because in his vision, he clearly saw an uncanny distortion appear in a certain area of space...
