Ato's Mangekyō Sharingan Techniques, Mental Training Space, and Enhanced Ki Sense!

Above the rooftop of the Hokage's Office in Konoha.

Minato Namikaze, clad in a white Hokage Haori, gazed toward the Valley of the End.

In his eyes was reflected the colossal figure standing upon the earth, leaving him frozen in shock.

Beep beep beep.

A green Scouter was worn over his left eye, its combat power reading rapidly fluctuating.

It did not stop until the combat power had risen to 5,000.

"5,000!!"

"What an astonishing combat power."

"Lord Ato's growth rate is simply too fast!"

Minato Namikaze's face was filled with shock. Of course, he knew whose handiwork the colossal figure at the Valley of the End was.

That distinctive black spiky hair and the tail unique to Saiyans.

Both declared that this was Ato's power!

Minato Namikaze's gaze flickered, and his heart grew incomparably heavy.

Ato's growth rate was simply too fast.

So fast that even Minato Namikaze felt despair. He could not think of any hope of defeating Ato.

It was not just Minato Namikaze. The hearts of every Ninja who saw this scene were shrouded in gloom.

They had once again truly sensed the terror of the Saiyans.

Just as all of Konoha was shocked and horrified by Ato's Second Transformation.

Above the Valley of the End, Ato dismissed his Second Transformation.

The Susanoo armor upon the body of the Susanoo Saiyan Mode instantly dissipated.

The immense life force contained within the thousand-meter-tall True Several Thousand Hands Saiyan form also automatically returned to Ato's body.

As the massive life force was withdrawn, the True Several Thousand Hands slowly vanished.

The entire Valley of the End became calm once more.

Ato was extremely satisfied with his Second Transformation.

The Sage Body enhanced physical power.

The Sage Eye enhanced spiritual power.

Combined with his Saiyan physique.

The combat power increase brought by releasing the Ultimate Third Power of the Sage Body and Sage Eye was terrifying.

Ato's First Transformation, Saiyan Chakra Mode, was enough to grant him a baseline combat power of 1,200.

Ato's Second Transformation, Susanoo Saiyan Mode, directly increased it fourfold, reaching an astonishing combat power of 5,000.

"Next, I'll test my Mangekyō Sharingan techniques!"

Ato closed his eyes.

He could feel that entirely different powers resided within his eyes.

These were the ocular techniques unique to the Mangekyō Sharingan.

The Sharingan was also known as the Eye That Reflects the Heart.

Although Ato had fused with Madara Uchiha's eyes, the ocular techniques he gained were completely different from Madara Uchiha's.

"First, the left eye!"

With a thought from Ato, his left eye's ocular technique activated instantly.

His consciousness instantly fell into a strange mental space.

This mental space was infinitely vast.

This mental space was Ato's ocular technique:

Mental Training Space!

This Mental Training Space was very similar to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber established by Earth's Kami.

Within this space, Ato could alter every setting within it at will, just like Itachi Uchiha's Tsukuyomi.

Time, space, mass, pain, gravity, and everything else could be adjusted freely.

Within this space, there was no difference from reality. He could still grow hungry, be injured, become exhausted, and so on.

Moreover, injuries sustained in the mental space would also appear in reality.

The only difference from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber was that Ato's Mental Training Space could only be used for mental training.

"Mental Training Space? It really came just when I needed it!"

Ato's face was filled with excitement.

If he wanted to increase his combat power, merely training his body like mad would not work in the long run.

Only by also focusing on mental training—raising his spiritual realm alongside his physical combat power—could he truly possess the qualities of a strong warrior.

Ever since becoming a Saiyan, Ato had trained diligently, but because he lacked a method for mental training, he could only desperately train his physical strength.

As a result, although he had raised his combat power to 1,200.

He had barely trained his spiritual realm at all.

This also meant that due to insufficient spiritual power, Ato often used too much force. Even in battle, his movements were highly uncoordinated, causing a loss of power.

But now, Ato's ocular technique perfectly solved this problem.

As long as he entered the Mental Training Space, Ato could undergo arduous mental training there just as he would in the real world, raising his spiritual power.

"As long as my spiritual power rises, I can kill opponents of equal strength with ease using only the genjutsu released by the Mangekyō Sharingan."

With a thought, Ato had already left the Mental Training Space.

He then activated the ocular technique in his right eye.

Boom!

As Ato activated his right eye's ocular technique, countless energy sources appeared before him.

These energy sources varied in size, but without exception, they all carried Ato's own chakra signature.

Most of these energy sources were located in Konoha.

Only one energy source was not in the Ninja World at all.

"So this is my right eye's ocular technique? Enhanced Ki Sense!"

Ato's right Mangekyō Sharingan slowly turned, and a trace of excitement appeared on his face.

Enhanced Ki Sense was the ocular technique nurtured by Ato's right Mangekyō Sharingan.

So-called Enhanced Ki Sense meant that Ato could use his right eye to strengthen his perception of his own chakra signature.

As long as it was his signature, no matter how far away it was, he could easily sense it.

Just like now, Ato sensed the spaceship flying through the universe, as well as the Shadow Clone Technique sleeping inside it.

With the technology of the Dragon Ball Universe, although Ato's spaceship had only flown for a single day, it had already crossed dozens of planets.

His spaceship was already extremely far from the planet where the Ninja World was located.

Yet even so, Ato could still clearly sense the Flying Thunder God Mark on the spaceship and the presence of the Shadow Clone Technique.

As long as Ato focused slightly, he could even easily "see" his spaceship and its surroundings.

Although Enhanced Ki Sense could not increase his combat power.

It directly expanded his perception of his own aura to a universal range.

Combined with the Flying Thunder God he had learned in the Ninja World.

Ato could now completely perform the kind of interstellar Instant Transmission Son Goku used in his later years.

"Flying Thunder God!"

With a thought from Ato, his body instantly vanished from where he stood.

Within the dark expanse of space.

A spherical spaceship dragged a pillar of white energy behind it as it sped through the boundless universe.

The planets around it continuously shrank into the distance.

Just as the spaceship flew onward, the Flying Thunder God Mark engraved inside it suddenly lit up.

Ato then appeared inside the spaceship.

The Shadow Clone Technique that had been sleeping inside the ship instantly dispersed into a puff of smoke.

Standing before the spaceship's hatch and looking at the familiar universe beyond, Ato laughed, laughing with utter abandon.

After obtaining the ocular technique Enhanced Ki Sense, he finally relaxed somewhat.

Now, even if he faced Frieza, Ato could calmly escape.

Only now did Ato truly possess the means to survive in the Dragon Ball Universe!!

"Wood Release: Wood Clone."

Ato glanced at the cockpit, then raised his right hand. A Wood Clone condensed from his palm.

The Wood Clone was a more advanced physical clone than the Shadow Clone Technique.

Not only did it possess powerful life force, it would not explode at the slightest touch.

Moreover, within the Wood Clone's eyes, scarlet Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan slowly turned.

Ato looked at the Wood Clone before him. This clone possessed a full 400 combat power.

Ato nodded in satisfaction. A low-class Saiyan with 400 combat power could both complete his task of transporting Planet Vegeta's resources and avoid drawing the attention of other Saiyans.

After doing all this, Ato directly used Flying Thunder God to appear in his villa.

From now on, he would begin training his spiritual power.

As for matters concerning the Ninja World, he handed them all over to his Research Shadow Clone.
