Five seconds was still too short

After raising Hell's Turmoil to Minor Mastery, he still had twenty-nine White Zetsu legacy fragments left.

Luo Yu wanted to see whether he could upgrade it again, so he opened the upgrade requirements-and stared in disbelief.

[Hell's Turmoil upgrade requirements: Yamato's legacy 0/1]

Going from Minor Mastery to Mastery actually required a complete Yamato legacy!

That was far more outrageous than the five White Zetsu legacy fragments required for Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!

The way the Jiangli Families had gone wild after President Bai offered a single Yamato legacy fragment as a special reward said it all.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Luo Yu asked, "System, just how many stars is Hell's Turmoil rated?"

"It actually uses Yamato's legacy as an upgrade material!"

"Isn't that way too extravagant?"

Since the Ninja Association's encyclopedia didn't include Hell's Turmoil, there was no rating he could use as a reference.

Luo Yu could only ask his all-purpose system.

"Based on this plane's current rating criteria, a preliminary estimate places it within the four-star ninjutsu category."

The system promptly supplied an explanation.

"Four-star ninjutsu!" Luo Yu was a little surprised.

He hadn't expected Hell's Turmoil to rate so highly. He'd thought it would only be three and a half stars.

Power carried considerable weight in the Ninja Association's ninjutsu ratings.

Hell's Turmoil's tremendous power was probably the reason.

Nodding in satisfaction, Luo Yu spoke again. "Next, upgrade little Tobi's Wood Release Mastery."

"Spiral Zetsu: Wood Release Mastery level +1!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the description for Wood Release Mastery updated.

Wood Release Mastery Lv.2: Has learned most wood release ninjutsu rated two stars or below, with proficiency at Minor Mastery or higher.

Two-star wood release?

That must mean Tobi knew plenty of useful wood release techniques.

Unfortunately, the system didn't come with telepathic communication, so he couldn't ask him exactly which wood release techniques he'd learned.

When I have time, I'll pick a few practical ones to learn.

Come to think of it, could Wood Release Mastery use up the remaining White Zetsu legacy fragments?

Luo Yu looked at the detailed stats panel.

[Wood Release Mastery upgrade requirements: Yamato's legacy 0/1]

He laughed.

Why did everything keep milking Yamato?

Was White Zetsu not good enough?

With a sigh, Luo Yu turned his attention to today's main event.

Divine pupil stones!

"Upgrade Kamui Mangekyō!"

The moment he said it, one of the five divine pupil stones vanished.

"Kamui Mangekyō level +1!"

Luo Yu hurriedly checked the updated talent description.

Talent: Kamui Mangekyō Lv.1

Effect: Grants the Sharingan's basic abilities and 10 seconds of Intangibility. Upgrading increases Intangibility duration and unlocks additional abilities.

The duration of Intangibility had doubled.

Luo Yu had finally broken past his limit as a five-second wonder.

Although it gave him ten seconds of invincibility, it had a built-in cooldown. Unlike Obito later on, he couldn't switch it off and immediately turn it back on.

That was the godlike Intangibility that let Obito stroll leisurely through entire armies.

And where was his all-important little Kamui home?

He was still planning to build a big house in the Kamui Dimension.

Then he could stuff it with as many maids in black and white stockings as he wanted.

His sister wouldn't be able to stop him.

Of course, his main reason was that unlocking the Kamui Dimension would give him access to the slickest space-time ninjutsu.

He would be able to teleport quickly to any place he'd visited before.

"System, when can I unlock that invincible Intangibility and the Kamui Dimension?"

That damned Kamui had stirred up his desires, and Luo Yu couldn't resist asking.

"Unlocking the night of the Uchiha massacre template will develop Intangibility to its full potential."

"As long as you have chakra, you will be able to activate and deactivate it at will."

"The cooldown will only occur again if you maintain Intangibility for the full five-minute limit."

"The Kamui Dimension requires Kamui Mangekyō to reach level four."

Luo Yu rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "So, for now, all I can do is raise Kamui Mangekyō's level."

With that thought, Luo Yu hurriedly shifted his gaze to the detailed panel.

[Kamui Mangekyō upgrade requirements: Divine pupil stones 0/6]

Seriously? He was two stones short!

Apparently, he wasn't worthy.

Luo Yu shook his head and put the remaining four divine pupil stones back into his Storage Scroll.

He quickened his pace toward the Plains Area, where Fighting Rabbits often appeared.

Some time later, he reached Silverwood Peak's Plains Area.

Sure enough, plenty of person-sized rabbits were nibbling on the wild grass.

They were called rabbits, but they stood on two legs and had the build of typical humanoid mutant beasts.

Their fur couldn't hide their muscular bodies. One look was enough to tell they were skilled in taijutsu.

I wonder what Furry Bro would say about this.

In any case, Luo Yu happily spent the rest of his time mixing it up with the rabbits.

To familiarize himself with using taijutsu in real combat, he didn't simply clear the field with fire release and Wood Release.

Instead, he stuck to his newly learned taijutsu and fought the Fighting Rabbits head-on.

Taijutsu was clearly their forte: their stamina could reach the standard of a Genin Third Rank, while their chakra only reached Genin First Rank at best.

But their speed couldn't outpace Luo Yu's Sharingan.

Luo Yu shook his head as he watched them.

They dropped Rock Lee's legacy fragments, yet couldn't recreate the scene where he'd countered the Sharingan.

Of course, it was also possible that awakening the Mangekyo had made his ocular power too strong.

And so, aided by his Sharingan, Luo Yu opened the Eight Gates' Gate of Opening and relied on his 150 stamina.

With Leaf Strong Whirlwind and Front Lotus, he thrashed the Fighting Rabbits.

Before long, corpses littered the field.

Countless giant, muscular rabbits had their skulls shattered by Front Lotus.

It couldn't be helped. With the Gate of Opening and his Sharingan fully active, Luo Yu was like a main damage dealer in a hack-and-slash game with every buff stacked to the max.

Without some special trick, opponents at his level didn't stand a chance.

Just like that, Luo Yu collected seven Rock Lee legacy fragments.

Together with the Rock Lee legacy fragments Curator Jiang had given him, he was only three fragments short.

Those were exactly enough to raise the Eight Gates to the beginner level.

As for the stat points dropped by the Fighting Rabbits, the amount was pitiful.

They dropped at most one or two points at a time, and more than half dropped none at all.

He only got nine stat points in total.

It was just like those painfully low drop rates when he farmed ascension materials in mobile games.

Yes, those fucking slimes!

After entering the Secret Realm, he'd gained dozens of stat points from the wolves and the Wind Demon Apes, so his stats had probably surpassed those of the Fighting Rabbits.

That was why the stat point drops were so pitiful.

He checked his phone. His dimensional aura had three minutes left.

If he didn't hurry to the Teleportation Anchor, his body would start failing from being on another plane.

Luo Yu hurriedly put all the stat points into chakra, then rushed toward the Teleportation Anchor.

He didn't even have time to upgrade the Eight Gates.

Chakra: 107 (+100%) → 116 (+100%)

After leaving the Secret Realm Transfer Station, Luo Yu decided not to pinch pennies.

He took a taxi straight home.

Mostly because he'd kept the Eight Gates active for half an hour, and his body felt a little weak now.

Looks like I need to use the Eight Gates in moderation.

And so, Luo Yu upgraded the Eight Gates during the taxi ride.

Immediately afterward, countless pieces of cultivation experience concerning the Eight Gates flooded into his mind.
