Indra Otsutsuki also possessed the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Although he had a brother, his younger brother inherited the Sage Body, so his Eternal Mangekyo definitely wasn't obtained through transplantation.
Then there is the mysterious Sage of Six Paths; no one knows how he evolved his eyes either.
"Shin, you know so much."
These kinds of things were unknown even to her, a member of the Uchiha Clan.
I even know that the Sharingan can evolve into the Rinnegan! Hyuga Shin thought to himself.
However, Hyuga Shin didn't say it out loud; he figured that what he had already shared was enough to shake Mikoto's heart and mind.
"Shin, what exactly is the method to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan?" Mikoto asked curiously.
"The awakening of the Mangekyo Sharingan doesn't actually require seeing a loved one die. The death of someone close is merely a catalyst. Under extreme mental fluctuations after witnessing the death of a relative, it is possible to awaken the Mangekyo, but not everyone can do it."
Hyuga Shin explained his own understanding.
"Don't worry, Mikoto, I will definitely be able to help you evolve into the Eternal Mangekyo," Shin said confidently.
"Mm! I believe you." Mikoto nodded vigorously. "But I still have to work hard at my cultivation. Otherwise, if I can't even awaken the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, how could I ever evolve it into the Mangekyo Sharingan?"
After clearing the dishes, Mikoto went upstairs to her room to cultivate.
Hyuga Shin shrugged helplessly and returned to his own room. He wanted to check the System Store to see if there was anything that could help someone evolve into the Eternal eyes.
He opened the System Store and searched for items related to the Eternal Mangekyo.
Sure enough, results appeared immediately. At the very top was the direct exchange for the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, though it was the most expensive item, costing 500,000 exchange points.
"Adding the 100,000 points the system gave me, I'm still 500,000 short! That would take forty years to save up. Forget it! Forget it!"
Seeing the price, Hyuga Shin gave up immediately.
He then looked at the next item: an evolution serum that could allow a Mangekyo to evolve into an Eternal Mangekyo. It cost 300,000 points; this was something he could consider.
Looking further down, there was a bloodline enhancement, which was even more expensive at 1,000,000 points, but it could evolve one's eyes to the Rinnegan.
There was nothing else below that. There were only these three items in total, and of the three, only the 300,000-point evolution serum was something Hyuga Shin could consider.
But it would still take twenty years to accumulate the necessary points.
"No need to rush for now; I'll think about it later. If it really comes down to it, I'll just have to be thick-skinned and ask the system for some points. I just don't know if the system will give me any face."
With a sigh, Hyuga Shin felt helpless. After all, this system had no function for earning exchange points.
All of Hyuga Shin's current abilities were obtained from the grand gift packages the system had provided or from lucky draws. Otherwise, looking at the prices in this store, he wouldn't be able to afford a single thing.
Chapter 38: Kushina Uzumaki
"Mikoto, you didn't sleep all night, did you?"
Looking at the dark circles under Mikoto's eyes, Hyuga Shin frowned and asked.
"Mm! The information you shared earlier was just too much, and then I cultivated for a while, so I haven't rested at all. The sky was already bright by the time I finished."
"Mikoto, it's not that I want to lecture you, but excessive refinement of chakra will only deplete your body and could even lead to life-threatening situations. From now on, you should stop refining chakra for a while."
Hyuga Shin said with a serious, unquestionable expression.
Hyuga Shin was definitely not joking. Chakra is different from the internal energy found in martial arts novels; while it is undeniable that chakra is more powerful, its health-preserving effects are far inferior.
"I understand, but if I don't refine chakra, what should I cultivate?" Mikoto asked with her head lowered.
As for ninjutsu training, Mikoto was already able to use the Great Fireball Technique and the Phoenix Sage Fire Technique. As for other more powerful ninjutsu, Mikoto's chakra reserves were insufficient, making them impossible to cast.
This was the reason why Mikoto was desperately trying to refine chakra.
"Take this. I originally intended to give it to you in a few years, but I'll just give it to you now."
Hyuga Shin handed over the training methods for the Six Powers, as well as the cultivation methods for Armament Haki and Observation Haki, to Mikoto.
All Hyuga Shin could teach Mikoto was taijutsu. Although Hyuga Shin possessed a powerful genjutsu, it wasn't suitable for Mikoto.
To use that genjutsu, one had to first understand it, and if he gave it to Mikoto, she might just end up terrifying herself.
"Taijutsu?" Mikoto reached out to take the scrolls and put them away. Since Shin wanted her to cultivate them, they must be beneficial to her; she trusted that Shin wouldn't harm her.
"Looking at your state, you should just rest today. I'll ask for a leave of absence for you, so just stay home and rest. You can take a look at the taijutsu I gave you, but don't practice it recklessly." After giving her a reminder, Hyuga Shin ate breakfast, grabbed his bento, and headed to school.
Mikoto didn't object; she watched Hyuga Shin leave with a gentle gaze before heading back to rest.
Upon arriving at the classroom, Nawaki, who was always early, looked surprised.
"Where's Mikoto? Why isn't she with you? Don't tell me you've abandoned her after getting bored!"
"Go away! Nothing good ever comes out of your mouth. Mikoto isn't feeling well today, so she didn't come." Hyuga Shin pushed Nawaki aside.
"How could nothing good come out of a dog's mouth? Wait, no! Shin, you bastard, you're calling me a dog." Nawaki finally realized what he said.
"Woof woof!" Tsume Inuzuka's dog, Kuromaru, bared its teeth.
Nawaki looked at Kuromaru and felt as if the dog was mocking him too, so he felt annoyed and glared at Kuromaru.
"You're really something, Nawaki, getting into an argument with a dog." Watching this scene, Hyuga Shin laughed out loud.
As the rest of the class arrived, the room became more lively, only quieting down as it neared time for class to start.
"It's really strange. Usually, Teacher Ueno would have arrived by now. What happened this time? Could he be sick?" Nawaki asked, puzzled.
"Perhaps he has some business to attend to! Nawaki, can't you wish our teacher well for once?" Shikaku Nara said, slumped over his desk.
"Shikaku, you really lack any motivation, you're exactly like Shin."
"Inoichi, when you speak, leave me out of it. And Choza, could you please eat a little quieter? You're so noisy!" Hyuga Shin lifted his head.
"So you weren't asleep after all!" Inoichi Yamanaka said, feeling awkward.
Rolling his eyes at Inoichi Yamanaka, Hyuga Shin laid his head back down on the desk to refine his chakra, though in truth, he was quite curious himself.
Ueno Juri was a very competent teacher; he usually arrived early and had never been late before.
Thirty minutes later, Ueno-sensei finally arrived, and trailing behind him were two little girls with red hair.
Looking at one of them, Hyuga Shin felt a sense of familiarity. Red hair—could it be Kushina Uzumaki? But then, who was the other one?
Hyuga Shin was puzzled. He could understand the appearance of Kushina Uzumaki, but who exactly was the other girl? Could this be a butterfly effect caused by his own presence?
"This is Kushina Uzumaki, and this is Tomoko Uzumaki. They are transfer students joining our class. You bunch of brats, you are absolutely forbidden from bullying the new students," Ueno Juri warned.
