บท 18: Chapter 18: Tamayorihime and Dōtanuki

When Yuhara opened his eyes, he immediately sensed the overwhelming power within them. The cold, oppressive, and destructive force surged forth, causing even his own heart to race with unease. However, he quickly gained control over this energy, reining it in.

Yuhara could tell that he wasn't yet adept at controlling this power, but he didn't worry too much. After all, he had just awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan. Mastery would come with practice, much like any other stage of the Sharingan.

The quickest way to become proficient with the Mangekyou Sharingan was through combat. In the original story, Sasuke had demonstrated this, though Yuhara had no intention of emulating Sasuke's reckless approach, which had rendered his eyes nearly blind in less than a month. Sasuke had the luxury of relying on Itachi's eyes for an upgrade; Yuhara had no such safety net.

"Though I do have the system," Yuhara mused. "Maybe it'll provide something to restore my ocular power."

He stood still, still reeling from the intense pain he had just endured. Additionally, new and intriguing information had surfaced in his mind that he needed to process. The first bit of information pertained to the abilities of his Mangekyou Sharingan, which had appeared in his mind upon awakening the eyes.

The abilities of the Mangekyou Sharingan are derived from the user's deepest obsessions prior to awakening. Yuhara's driving obsession had been to gain more power, to secure his future. This had evidently influenced the abilities of his Mangekyou Sharingan.

His left eye's ability was called Tamayorihime, which reduced the difficulty of using Susanoo. Susanoo, being the most powerful and dangerous ability of the Mangekyou Sharingan, was notoriously hard to master and extremely taxing. Normally, someone who had just awakened the Mangekyou wouldn't be able to use Susanoo without extensive practice. However, with Tamayorihime, Yuhara felt that he could even now manifest Susanoo, albeit in its most rudimentary form—just the ribs for basic protection, but still a significant defensive boost.

His right eye's ability was called Dōtanuki, which enhanced the power of all his techniques. Whether genjutsu, ninjutsu, or even taijutsu, all would be significantly amplified under this ability's influence. This ability bore some resemblance to Sage Mode, though Yuhara wasn't certain of the precise differences since he lacked Sage Mode himself.

"These abilities are all about extreme power augmentation. They seem similar to Uchiha Madara's," Yuhara thought, reflecting on the legendary Uchiha whose overwhelming presence and strength were well-documented, though his specific Mangekyou abilities were not detailed in the original story.

"Regardless, whether or not my abilities resemble Madara's, they're immensely useful," Yuhara concluded. He might not have received flashy abilities like Kamui or Amaterasu, but his practical and potent skills left him very satisfied.

The second piece of information concerned the system. After completing the [Glorious Evolution], Yuhara hadn't yet checked the system notifications.

[Congratulations, host, on acquiring the Mangekyou Sharingan]

[The Mangekyou Sharingan is a powerful tool that will help the host in preserving the Uchiha clan, which is on the brink of collapse]

[Prosperity: 10,848 (normal clan baseline: 10,000)]

[Note: Current prosperity is unstable, bolstered mainly by the strength of the host and Shisui]

[Suggestion: Resolve internal conflicts and unify the clan to face external threats together]

[Congratulations, host, on earning 1,000 points and an opportunity to choose a new ability]

3. Water Release: Wave Runner—grants the user and their allies enhanced speed on water (can be acquired without water release)]

Reading these system notifications, Yuhara felt a mix of confusion and joy. Achieving the Mangekyou Sharingan had earned him 1,000 points, which seemed a bit low, but considering the system's odd valuation (like the equivalence of one Jonin to 2.5 Genin), he couldn't complain.

Moreover, it hinted that Shisui might also possess the Mangekyou, making Yuhara even more hopeful about his prospects. He felt a surge of confidence and determination.

"Hm?" Yuhara sensed something, turning to see Shisui approaching. Shisui's expression shifted from tension to a sort of stunned realization as he took in Yuhara's presence...
