Naruto: God-Level System

Tsunade believed that Hyuga Shin must have read some book somewhere and mistakenly thought he understood the Sharingan; she certainly dared not let him mess around.

Hyuga Shin felt stifled. Calling me ignorant? It is clearly you who are ignorant!

"Sister Tsunade, I believe in Shin." Mikoto shook her head at Tsunade, then looked at Hyuga Shin with a firm gaze.

Hyuga Shin immediately grew smug, casting a triumphant look toward Tsunade.

"See that! Mikoto still believes in me."

"Damn it, seeing your smug face makes me want to punch it," Tsunade said, gritting her teeth.

"Just don't hurt Mikoto," Tsunade added as a final warning.

"Rest assured! How could I ever bear to hurt Mikoto?" Hyuga Shin replied, feeling a bit guilty.

He was actually going to make Mikoto suffer a little later; he just hoped she wouldn't beat him up for it! Mikoto was so gentle, surely she wouldn't, right?

Hyuga Shin took out a kunai and placed it in Mikoto's hand.

Although puzzled, Mikoto reached out and took it.

"Mikoto, the truth is, the method to awaken the Mangekyo is..."

Squelch. The kunai in Mikoto's hand was guided by Hyuga Shin as he plunged it into his own chest.

Mikoto stared blankly at Hyuga Shin, her face filled with horror and disbelief as she witnessed the scene.

"Shin, I, I..." Painful tears streamed from Mikoto's eyes, and her Sharingan activated instinctively, the three tomoe spinning rapidly.

Looking at the blood on her hands and Hyuga Shin collapsing into her arms, feeling his body temperature gradually fading, Mikoto completely broke down.

"Shin, I don't want you to die!" Mikoto screamed.

The three-tomoe Sharingan merged into one, and a pair of cherry blossom-shaped Mangekyo Sharingan appeared in Mikoto's eyes.

But Mikoto didn't notice; she only held Hyuga Shin, her face twisted in agony.

"Shin, you're joking with me, right? I don't want anything to happen to you. I don't want the Mangekyo anymore, just come back to life, please." Mikoto's face was full of pain.

Looking at the kunai in her hand, Mikoto prepared to plunge it into her own chest without hesitation.

Just as it was about to strike, a large hand gripped Mikoto's wrist.

Mikoto looked down at Hyuga Shin in her arms with joyful excitement, tears of relief streaming down her face.

"Mikoto! The illusion is over." Lying in her arms, Hyuga Shin said with a smile.

As soon as Hyuga Shin finished speaking, the surrounding space shattered, and the environment shifted drastically.

Seeing Hyuga Shin standing before her without a single scratch, Mikoto lunged into his arms.

"Shin, tell me, is this a dream?" Mikoto hugged him, looking up at him with expectant eyes.

The illusion just now had been too real, leaving her unable to distinguish truth from fiction; she only prayed that everything she had just experienced was a lie.

"Of course this isn't a dream. The one before was the dream—a nightmare. Now that you've woken up, you have a beautiful tomorrow to face." Hyuga Shin held her tightly, his heart aching for her.

In truth, he hadn't wanted to put her through that, but it was the only way he could think of.

Mikoto was different from other members of the Uchiha Clan; she was gentle and kind, the polar opposite of the rest of the clan, which made awakening the Mangekyo all the more difficult.

Hyuga Shin had no choice but to use genjutsu on her, forcing her to experience trauma within the illusion to trigger the awakening.

"Mikoto, what's wrong? You should be happy about awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan!" Kushina walked over, looking at her in confusion.

To her and Tsunade, it had seemed that the moment Shin walked up to Mikoto, she had suddenly awakened the Mangekyo, then burst into tears and lunged into his arms.

It left both of them feeling completely baffled.

"Did you really help Mikoto awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan?" Tsunade couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"Shin, this matter must never be leaked. Otherwise, not only the Uchiha Clan but others as well will come looking for trouble." Tsunade turned serious.

If it were exposed that Hyuga Shin could trigger the awakening of the Mangekyo Sharingan, the Uchiha Clan would definitely send people to kidnap him.

And the Konoha higher-ups, who didn't want the Uchiha to possess the Mangekyo, would certainly send assassins or lock him away.

In short, exposure would bring only harm and no benefit to Hyuga Shin.

Hyuga Shin smiled and said nothing. He knew Tsunade meant well, but he no longer cared; with his current strength, he feared no one. Strength brought confidence.

"I'm sorry, Mikoto." Shin looked at her in his arms with deep remorse.

"What exactly happened? I mean, it happened in an instant—Mikoto's Mangekyo just opened. Is the Mangekyo Sharingan really that cheap?" Tsunade couldn't help but complain.

"Mikoto's eyes are so beautiful, they look like a cherry blossom about to bloom." Kushina's focus was entirely different from Tsunade's.

"Don't ever do that again, okay? I was so scared, so scared!" Mikoto looked up, her eyes misty with tears.

"I promise, something like that will never happen again," Hyuga Shin vowed, patting his chest.

"Tsk tsk! Seeing you two so lovey-dovey makes even me envious." A flicker of imperceptible envy crossed Tsunade's eyes.

Kushina puffed out her cheeks; although she had long been prepared to share a husband with Mikoto, she couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

Only then did Mikoto compose herself, shyly burying her head in Hyuga Shin's chest.

The experience in the illusion had left a lasting impact on her; she clung to Hyuga Shin's hand, unwilling to let go, terrified that if she did, he would vanish.

Chapter 52: Eternal Mangekyo, Perverted Dojutsu

"Mikoto, this is for you!" Hyuga Shin took out a jade-green potion and handed it to Mikoto.

"Such powerful life energy, what is this?" Tsunade leaned in, feeling the potent vitality radiating from the bottle even through the glass.

"Can you let me study it?"

"No, this is for Mikoto to evolve her eyes, and you wouldn't be able to figure anything out anyway." Hyuga Shin shook his head firmly; even Tsunade couldn't decipher this item.

Things produced by the system were useless to study; nothing would come of it. He had obtained this potion through a lucky draw, and it wasn't available for purchase in the system shop at all.

At first, Hyuga Shin thought it was the same as the items in the shop, but after checking the description yesterday, he discovered that besides evolving the Sharingan, this potion could also grant a Sage Body.

This made it even more precious; if it were in the shop, it would definitely cost over seven hundred thousand exchange points.

Therefore, Hyuga Shin couldn't possibly let Tsunade study it. This concerned Mikoto's eyes, and what if it were ruined during her research?

"And here I thought I treated you so well, yet you won't even let me study this," Tsunade said huffily, feeling a bit hurt.
