"Not bad luck." Kenichi Amamiya looked at the two Bandits twitching on the ground before him and smiled faintly.

He had never expected to run into Bandits again after traveling only a little farther. This time, though, there were only two of them.

"Please spare us! It's our first time doing this matter!" The man lying on the ground, who still had a little strength left, struggled desperately.

He felt absurdly unlucky. Seeing that Kenichi was alone yet bold enough to do business, they had planned to rob him to improve their lives. Who would have thought he was a ninja? Was the economy really that bad these days? Even ninjas had to become merchants now.

Kenichi Amamiya curled his lip. That was not how these two had acted when they first jumped out. He preferred their earlier, unyielding attitude.

"Please, my elderly mother is still waiting for me to come home." The man cried until snot ran from his nose.

"Oh? You're not going to guilt-trip me with morality." Kenichi Amamiya was getting annoyed. He struck the two Bandits on the head with the flat of his blade, successfully anesthetizing them through physical means.

"Let's see, the steps for Impure World Reincarnation are..." Kenichi Amamiya recalled the procedure, then dragged the two Bandits into a cave. It was relatively secluded here.

Kenichi Amamiya then handled the two Bandits according to the steps of Impure World Reincarnation. However, he tied up the second one and tossed him aside for the moment, since he could only reincarnate one First at a time.

"Rise, my warrior!" Kenichi Amamiya clasped his hands together and called out softly. The sacrifice before him transformed into the First's appearance, then slowly opened his eyes.

But before the other man could open his eyes completely, the First's features rapidly melted away, followed by the collapse of his entire body.

Kenichi Amamiya's mouth twitched. As expected of the Ninja God—his strength was simply absurd. He had not expected ordinary people to be unable to bear even the First's soul.

"This person won't work. That one is probably the same." Kenichi Amamiya glanced at the other unconscious Bandit and scratched his head.

Although Impure World Reincarnation was a powerful ninjutsu, its practicality seemed rather limited for now. If he wanted the First to display strength close to what he had possessed in life, a Jonin was probably the minimum requirement.

But Kenichi Amamiya did not need the First to help him fight. What he needed was the First's knowledge, so a Genin should be enough.

"Should I try Kushina Uzumaki?" Kenichi Amamiya stroked his chin. Back at the Fourth Hokage Couple's funeral, he had also obtained some of Kushina Uzumaki's hair.

But considering that the Uzumaki Clan was highly skilled in Sealing Jutsu, he abandoned the idea. Besides, there was no point in reincarnating Kushina Uzumaki right now anyway.

"You lucky bastard." Kenichi Amamiya sighed as he looked at the unconscious Bandit. If ordinary people were useless, he could only try a Genin.

A short while later, Kenichi Amamiya clapped his hands and left the cave. The cave was empty, with no sign that anyone else had ever been there.

Current research progress: 99.99%

Kenichi Amamiya glanced at his Cheat System. It had a very weak presence, but it was still extremely useful. It seemed that it was nearly done analyzing the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

He needed to start considering what his next research target should be.

"There are many things in my hands that can be researched." Kenichi Amamiya pondered. The Byakugan could be researched, and since he had already defected from the village, Shikotsumyaku would probably soon be available for research as well. They were all excellent experimental materials.

But considering that he was going to the Land of Rain and would most likely come into contact with Nagato and Konan of Akatsuki, Kenichi Amamiya turned his attention to the piece of amber he had collected earlier.

Amber containing parasites. In the Sage of Six Paths' era, there had been rumors that they could control others. He did not know whether that was true, but if this thing was real, Nagato might be interested.

Still, how these parasites would perform and whether they could control ninjas were both matters that needed consideration. The fact that the Sage of Six Paths had personally acted to eliminate them suggested that these little things should have been quite formidable.

But he could only research one thing, so Kenichi Amamiya fell into indecision.

In the end, Kenichi Amamiya decided to try researching the parasites. After all, he could conduct the other experiments himself. Whether it was the Byakugan or bloodline research, he could do those on his own.

But these parasites were dead now. Unless Kenichi Amamiya could revive this Bug, there was no way to research it.

That was also the decisive factor behind Kenichi Amamiya's choice.

When Kenichi Amamiya woke from his sleep the next day, he discovered that the world before his eyes seemed somewhat different.

If the world Kenichi Amamiya had previously seen was in 1080p resolution, then what he saw now was in 8K. He could even see the vibrating wings of mosquitoes and insects flying past him.

Kenichi Amamiya froze for a moment, then immediately realized that his research progress must have been completed while he slept the night before. He had directly obtained the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

"So this is the Three-Tomoe Sharingan?" Kenichi Amamiya looked at his eyes in the mirror. At this moment, his eyes were identical to those of the Uchiha Clan.

But remembering Kakashi's Physical Condition, Kenichi Amamiya hurriedly tested whether using his eyes would burden his body. Yet he soon discovered that he suffered no negative effects whatsoever.

It could even be said that he was like someone born into the Uchiha Clan, able to perfectly control his own eyes.

"So I can evolve into the Mangekyō Sharingan too?" Kenichi Amamiya rubbed his chin.

Ordinary members of the Uchiha Clan needed exceptionally intense Emotional Stimulation to evolve their Sharingan, such as witnessing the death of someone close to them right before their eyes.

However, Kenichi Amamiya was very curious about how emotions and spiritual energy affected the Sharingan. After this mission was over, he planned to return to the laboratory and conduct experiments to see exactly how the Sharingan was influenced by emotions.

Perhaps then he would find the secret to evolving the Sharingan. He might even gain some other unexpected rewards.

As for his own eyes, Kenichi Amamiya was not worried. After all, he had already left Konoha, and he had previously obtained a pair of Three Tomoe from his teacher. He could simply claim that he had transplanted them.
