Xin felt that the system's family relationship mechanism was extremely absurd.
But he was quick-witted and had already started making plans.
This kind of sure-fire, risk-free business was exactly what he wanted.
Uchiha Xin suddenly recalled that the second round of the Chunin Ninja Exams, the Forest of Death Selection Tournament, was in full swing a few months ago.
At that time, his Limit Sharingan had already successfully advanced to level 5.
Those Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan allowed him to display overwhelming power when facing Orochimaru and a host of other powerful enemies.
Two or three months passed in the blink of an eye.
He is just one step away from reaching level 6.
To advance from level 5 to level 6, a full one million skill points are required.
Such a massive number wouldn't have been difficult for Xin, who could usually create thousands of Shadow Clone to cultivate simultaneously.
However, the situation in the Shinobi World has been turbulent during this period.
Orochimaru launched the Konoha Crush Plan, the Third Hokage was attacked and killed, Konoha sent people to search for Tsunade to return to the village, and then Danzo, the leader of Root, brazenly betrayed them.
One fierce battle after another ensued.
Xin must always maintain his Chakra at its peak to be ready for any sudden and deadly crisis.
He simply couldn't create a large number of Shadow Clone to tediously grind for skill points in his cultivation.
It was precisely because of the successive changes and wars that his upgrade progress was significantly slowed down.
Pulling his thoughts back from the chaotic past battles, Uchiha Xin secretly resolved that he must seize the remaining time to devote himself to intensive training and quickly fill the gap in his proficiency.
Now that he has some free time, he must go to the back mountain of the clan's territory to hone his Dōjutsu, refine his spirit, and gradually accumulate the missing proficiency.
With that thought in mind, Xin quickened his pace.
He had long since lost all interest in the mundane affairs around him.
He had only one obsession left in his heart: to upgrade the Limit Sharingan as soon as possible, help Hinata Awakening the Tenseigan, and fulfill the promise they made after their engagement.
The days passed quietly in the daily routine of cultivation and peaceful rest, and before they knew it, it was the day before their engagement.
Uchiha Xin sat cross-legged alone in the training ground behind the Uchiha Clan Compound.
The long-silent system notification sounded in his mind as expected at this moment.
bite
"Congratulations, host, your mastery of the Limit Sharingan has reached one million."
"The host's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan has met the evolutionary requirements and has successfully evolved into the Rinnegan."
The mechanical sound echoed in Xin's mind.
The system then immediately issued a query.
"Upgrade now?"
Xin suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze burning with passion.
He had waited far too long for this day.
"Upgrade decisively!"
Xin gave the instruction in his mind without hesitation.
Buzz!
A tremendous power of vision erupted from the depths of Xin's mind and surged into his eyes.
Xin felt her eyes burning, as if some kind of shackle had been completely broken.
The five-pointed star pattern in his right eye began to spin rapidly, gradually fading from its original scarlet color.
Instead, there were concentric circles of purple ripples.
Rinnegan, in the present world!
A pale blue light screen popped up in the void before them.
The panel data has been fully updated.
[ Limit Sharingan: Level 6 ( Rinnegan )]
[Special Ability: Possesses the ability to evolve infinitely.]
[ Familiar System: Currently, you can recruit 5 families.]
[Skill Socketing: Currently, 8 skills can be socketed (currently socketed: Eight Gates Released Formation, Fire Style, Flying Thunder God Technique, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, etc., 5 in total, 3 empty slots remaining).]
The system's voice sounded again, giving the final evaluation.
System evaluation: The Rinnegan is merely the beginning of the evolution of the Limit Sharingan.
Xin looked at the data on the panel and took a deep breath.
Infinite evolution.
To win over their families and relatives.
It has 8 skills embedded.
Any one of these abilities alone would be enough to cause a sensation in the Shinobi World.
"Just the beginning?"
Xin keenly grasped the key information in the system evaluation.
He couldn't wait to ask the question in his mind.
"System, if level 6 is the Rinnegan, then what is level 7 Limit Sharingan? Is it the legendary Tomoe Rinnegan on its forehead like Otsutsuki Kaguya?"
Xin is full of curiosity about the future direction of evolution.
The system remained silent for a moment before giving a rigid answer.
"This system is unaware of this."
Xin was taken aback for a moment.
"You don't know your own upgrade path?"
The system explained.
"This system is only responsible for assisting the host in leveling up and providing energy conversion."
"The future evolution of the Sharingan will be entirely based on the host's own bloodline mutations and energy absorption."
"This system cannot predict the host's final evolutionary form."
Xin nodded thoughtfully; it seemed this system wasn't omnipotent after all.
Just then, the system suddenly changed its tone.
"Kind tips."
"After the host acquires the Rinnegan, the method of gaining proficiency will need to be significantly adjusted."
Xin frowned.
"What do you mean? Is Shadow Clone cultivation no longer feasible?"
Xin relies most on the exponential increase in proficiency gained from the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
The system provides a precise interpretation of the data.
" Shadow Clone Techniques are still usable."
"But the host has already reached the Rinnegan level."
"If the Shadow Clone only activates the Three-Tomoe Sharingan for training, it can only increase the host's proficiency by a maximum of two or three points per day."
"A drop in the ocean, utterly meaningless."
Upon hearing this data, Xin cursed inwardly.
Add two or three points a day?
Reaching level 7 would take forever!
Xin's eyes lit up and he immediately came up with a solution.
"Then why don't I just have my Shadow Clone activate the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and train?"
Xin felt that his logic was perfect.
The speed at which proficiency is gained in the advanced form of the Sharingan will inevitably increase exponentially.
However, the thought had barely crossed his mind when...
Xin's face instantly turned ugly; he immediately remembered one of his fatal flaws.
Not enough Chakra!
Awakening the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan consumes a tremendous amount of Chakra.
Not to mention that now that it has evolved into the Rinnegan, the energy consumption has increased exponentially.
Even though he now possesses the Rinnegan, his Chakra has increased due to the feedback from the power of his eye.
However, it only reached the standard of an ordinary Kage Level.
This amount of Chakra is simply not enough to support him in creating a large number of Shadow Clone, let alone having each Shadow Clone activate an advanced Sharingan.
Xin sighed helplessly.
It turns out that the bloodline in his body was actually extremely poor.
Back when he was in the Uchiha Clan, he was even considered by the Uchiha higher-ups to be mediocre and unlikely to ever open his eyes.
His Mitsudomoe, Mangekyō, Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and now the Rinnegan.
They were all artificially boosted by the system.
The system is rigid; it focuses solely on the Sharingan and never strengthens Xin's physical attributes or meridians.
This has led to an awkward situation.
The amount of Chakra has always been his most fatal weakness.
If it weren't for a fortuitous coincidence that led him to embed an enhanced version of the Eight Gates Released Formation into his skill slot back then...
He amplified his Kage Level Chakra a hundredfold.
His strength couldn't possibly be that great, let alone be able to overpower Danzo and Orochimaru.
