Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan

Mangekyō Sharingan...?

Bai Ye was stunned when he heard the system notification.

He already had Dual Kamui, so why had the system given him another pair of Mangekyō Sharingan?

Was he supposed to alternate between two pairs?

Or was something else going on?

Bai Ye was baffled for a moment.

Just then, the system promptly supplied an answer.

[Ding! The host can fuse his Mangekyō Sharingan: Dual Kamui with Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan to obtain the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!]

...Seriously?

Bai Ye was both shocked and delighted.

This was fantastic news for him. The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was what he wanted most at this stage!

Not only would his ocular power increase tremendously, but using his Mangekyō Sharingan's ocular techniques would no longer cause any side effects.

He would even be able to use Shisui's ocular technique-the strongest genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami-as well as the Body Flicker Technique developed through the Sharingan.

Normally, a Mangekyō Sharingan had two different ocular techniques, but Shisui Uchiha's was an exception. Both his eyes possessed Kotoamatsukami. The only question was whether he could use it once or twice before it went on cooldown...

The system really had come through, directly solving Bai Ye's inability to obtain the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. He had still been thinking about that problem when he left the House of Evolution a few days earlier.

In theory, Obito Uchiha's and Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan could not be fused. They were not brothers and, at most, shared a very distant blood relation.

Clearly, though, the system had rewritten that rule and forcibly made it possible to fuse the two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan.

I'll try it right now and see how the fusion works...

With that thought, Bai Ye willed Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan to appear in his hands.

The pattern on this pair of Mangekyō Sharingan closely resembled a shuriken. They were undoubtedly Shisui's eyes.

Unsure of exactly what to do, Bai Ye took the simplest, most brute-force approach and shoved the eyes straight into his own eye sockets.

There was not even any discomfort. The fusion finished in an instant.

The patterns of the two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan merged, forming a more complete design.

Then Bai Ye opened the system panel.

[Host: Bai Ye]

[Age: 20]

[Identity: Human, A-Class Rank 5]

[Abilities: Dual Kamui, Kotoamatsukami, Susanoo, Flying Thunder God Technique, Body Flicker Technique (Shisui), Body Flicker Technique (Basic), Rasengan, Wood Clone]

[Weapon: Red Night Blade]

[Physique: 588 (+hashirama cells ×20)]

[Points: 110]

[Points Shop (Lv1)]

Sure enough, he had acquired Shisui Uchiha's ocular technique.

From that day onward, Bai Ye no longer needed to worry about his ocular power. He only needed to focus on improving his physique and increasing his hashirama cells.

Those two factors determined whether he could forcefully activate Susanoo's final form, the Complete Form.

"Ding-dong-"

While Bai Ye was still basking in the joy of obtaining the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, a sudden ring of the doorbell interrupted his thoughts.

Probably Genos...?

Ever since Vaccine Man bought his games, he had stayed holed up at home, practicing hard. Unless Bai Ye needed something, he almost never came over.

Bai Ye went to answer the door, but when he opened it, he was greeted by a tall woman with a stunning figure.

"What are you doing here?"

Bai Ye's pupils abruptly contracted as he blurted out the question.

The visitor was none other than Hellish Blizzard.

"Am I not welcome?"

Fubuki's attitude was much better this time. Rather than being cold and haughty, she spoke to Bai Ye calmly.

"It's not that you're unwelcome..."

Bai Ye suddenly remembered what Lily had told him. "Actually, there's something I wanted to ask you too. Come in and have a seat."

Fubuki took off her high heels, since she had to either wear indoor slippers or walk around in her stockings inside.

Since Bai Ye did not have any indoor slippers set aside for guests, Fubuki could only walk in barefoot... no, in her black stockings.

As soon as she entered, Fubuki looked around Bai Ye's home. She had not paid much attention to it last time.

She seemed to want to know why so many powerful figures gathered at Bai Ye's home. They were either S-Class Heroes or Dragon-level monsters, yet this was just a small, ordinary house...

But no matter how much she looked around, Fubuki could not find anything special about it.

Bai Ye paid her little mind and went to make her a cup of tea.

"Have a seat."

Bai Ye spoke.

"Mm."

Fubuki sat down opposite Bai Ye, then reached for the snacks on the table without the slightest hesitation.

Bai Ye said nothing about that and went straight to the matter at hand. "I've already heard from Lily in your Blizzard Group. Apparently, you made me a member without asking for my consent?"

"...You already found out about that?"

Fubuki's hand froze in midair with a snack in it, and a guilty look crossed her face. "When did you meet Lily? Why didn't I know?"

She had intended to get closer to Bai Ye while figuring out how to recruit him.

She had always been confident and believed she could pull it off, so when Lily asked her back then, she had answered, "More or less."

Lily was Fubuki's only confidante, which was why she had given her that answer.

What she had never expected was that Lily not only knew Bai Ye, but had also told him about it...

Now things were awkward.

"I met her quite a few days ago, but that's not the point. The point is, you still haven't given up?"

Bai Ye asked bluntly.

"...I won't give up. I'll make sure you join the Blizzard Group, whatever it takes."

Fubuki spoke in a low voice, her expression utterly serious.

"It's not about what it takes. Leaving aside the fact that you have nothing to offer that would interest me, I don't want to join the Blizzard Group simply because I don't want to."

Bai Ye spread his hands. "If you haven't come here for anything else, please head home in a bit."

"..."

Fubuki fell silent, her expression conflicted.

Her hand never stopped bringing snacks to her mouth, though.

Then Bai Ye got up and went to the balcony to hang out the laundry. The clean clothes were still sitting in the washing machine.

Yet when he finished hanging up his clothes and returned to the living room, Fubuki was still there. Half the snacks in the assorted boxes on the table had already been eaten, though he had not left all that many there to begin with...

Bai Ye was not the sort to nitpick over things like that, but he did find it a little hard to keep a straight face.

Did she come here just to eat his food?

Or had she already made herself so comfortable that she treated this place like a friend's home?

P.S. We've reached a hundred thousand words, which means the story is about to start getting promoted. Starting tomorrow, I'll add extra chapters based on gift points: one extra chapter for every 100 total gift points. I hope to keep posting at least three chapters a day until the story ends, so please shower me with gifts! (Free gifts matter too. After the revenue split, each one is worth 0.1 gift points. If just over 300 of you dear readers send three a day, that'll be enough for an extra chapter.)
