Chapter 9 - Awakening the Mangekyō!
Lottery!?
Naruto Renji: [It seems, just as we analyzed earlier, after Fugaku stepped down and I became the clan leader, I got a lottery chance.]
After the meeting ended, the members of the Uchiha clan dispersed. Discussions about the current conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha were scheduled for the next day.
As soon as he returned, Renji immediately opened the lottery interface.
One Piece Renji: [Wow, you actually changed the plot? Go ahead and see what you get!]
Slice-of-Life Renji: [The first draw in the chat group, let's get a Rinnegan right away!]
Naruto Renji: [I wouldn't even dare to dream that big!]
That's way too exaggerated.
Directly giving me a Rinnegan?
He wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing.
Zombie Renji: [You're just being timid. I'd dare to dream it!]
It's just a dream—what's there to be afraid of?
Naruto Renji: [Alright, I'm drawing now!]
Looking at the spinning wheel, the lottery interface was displayed.
All sorts of abilities and items from the Naruto world appeared on the wheel.
From low-level abilities like Transformation Jutsu mastery to high-level ones like the Divine Tree.
These projections were also shown in the chat group, allowing the other Renjis to see them.
Monster Renji: [Holy crap! Sage Body? Six Paths Power? Tomoe Rinnegan?]
So, spending money makes you stronger?
He wanted to spend money too!
Renji clicked the start button, and the wheel began spinning rapidly.
The pointer started to slow down, clearly about to stop soon.
"Please, not the Great Snake Replacement Jutsu!!"
Damn it!
Renji really couldn't accept the Great Snake Replacement Jutsu.
People spitting out snakes, snakes spitting out people, people spitting out swords, snakes spitting out swords.
That stuff was just disgusting.
Fortunately, even though the pointer slowed down, it passed the Great Snake Replacement Jutsu.
It landed on the Sage Body.
"Sage Body, Sage Body is fine!! Oh no!! It moved again? Mangekyō? That's not bad either!"
Finally, the pointer moved past the Sage Body and stopped at the Mangekyō Sharingan.
In an instant, Renji felt the three tomoe in his eyes spinning wildly, followed by the appearance of a black ice crystal pattern in his pupils.
Ōwatatsumi and Iroha.
Two new abilities instantly appeared in Renji's mind.
After understanding their powers, Renji was completely stunned.
This strong?!
Ōwatatsumi, in Japanese mythology, is the god who controls the sea.
Thus, Ōwatatsumi granted Renji the ability to freely control the sea and create a type of black water. This black water could extinguish any flame and had a gravity effect. Anyone submerged in it would have their soul eternally buried within.
Iroha, on the other hand, is the god of medicine.
Iroha granted Renji the ability to heal himself. He could mark others, and once marked, Renji could drain their stamina and life force to restore himself. Even if near death, he could instantly recover by absorbing the life force of others. He could also transfer this life force to others, but only at 50% effectiveness compared to when he used it himself.
One ability granted Renji combat power, while the other provided sustainability and formidable vitality.
It seemed that his desire to use force to change the Uchiha clan's current situation, coupled with his fear of dying due to insufficient strength, had shaped these abilities.
He needed immense power, hence Ōwatatsumi. And because he feared death, Iroha appeared.
The Sharingan truly was the eye that reflected the heart.
One Piece Renji: [Holy crap, dude!? You're serious?]
Monster Renji: [You just awakened the Mangekyō like that?!]
Wait, what?!
Previously, they had only been joking. They thought about Renji awakening the Mangekyō, unlocking Susanoo, and if he got Wood Release, he could even combine it with the Buddha statue.
But deep down, they all knew awakening the Mangekyō required intense emotional stimulation. The most direct way was the death of someone close, but Renji had clearly stated he had no such person.
So, the idea of Renji awakening the Mangekyō seemed unlikely.
Yet, just a day after discussing it, he awakened it? Wasn't that way too fast?
Naruto Renji: [Well, I did it for you guys. By the way, does using the Mangekyō drain your chakra in your worlds?]
He had roughly calculated that if he used these abilities too much, he'd end up like Sasuke, exhausting his Mangekyō within a month.
So, he had two options.
First, obtain the Sage Body or transplant Hashirama's cells.
Second, achieve the Eternal Mangekyō.
Unfortunately, the Sage Body was out of reach. Hashirama's cells could be transplanted, but that required finding the mad scientist Orochimaru, which was extremely risky. Tsunade was another option, but her hemophobia needed to be cured first.
As for the Eternal Mangekyō, without any relatives, how could he even awaken it?
One Piece Renji: [Just tried it. My mouth is the only thing still working—everything else is drained!]
Monster Renji: [This is insane. Using your Mangekyō abilities drained my stamina instantly, but your abilities are seriously overpowered!]
Mundane Renji: [I got dizzy just unlocking the one-tomoe Sharingan!]
Zombie Renji: [Couldn't unlock the Mangekyō. I only got to three tomoe. The Mangekyō consumes way too much stamina!]
Abilities from another world drained a lot of stamina, especially the Mangekyō, which converted chakra consumption into stamina drain in other worlds.
Naruto Renji: [These abilities are indeed powerful, but even I can't use them too many times. Still, having the Mangekyō is better than just the three tomoe!]
He was well aware.
Awakening the Mangekyō was undoubtedly better than staying at three tomoe. Even if overuse led to blindness, not having it at all would mean being at a severe disadvantage against Mangekyō users.
After drawing the Mangekyō, Renji began planning where to change the plot next to get more lottery chances.
First, there were many areas within the Uchiha clan that could be changed, including the police force.
Similarly, there was Shisui. Although Shisui was idealistic, he wasn't as extreme as Itachi in the early stages.
Shisui genuinely wanted to improve the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha.
He just trusted Hiruzen and Danzō too much, which led to his Mangekyō being stolen.
Now, Shisui was a potential ally. If Shisui chose to stand with him, Itachi might follow.
This would allow them to unite the Uchiha clan's strength against Konoha.
Instead of the clan being divided into factions, constantly weakening each other, only to be destroyed by Konoha in the end.
