Chapter 53: Mangekyō Sharingan's Abilities

Is this the Mangekyō Sharingan?

Sato observed the world with a newfound clarity compared to his Three Tomoe Sharingan. He murmured, "This Sharingan power is quite extraordinary."

Though he hadn't yet used the Mangekyō Sharingan for genjutsu, Sato sensed that his ability to harness Yin Release chakra through his eyes had increased exponentially.

Mobilizing such immense Yin Release at once, the illusions he conjured were overwhelming, surpassing even a tailed beast.

This was Sato's current Sharingan power, an physique second only to Ōtsutsuki Ashura, and an Sharigan second only to Ōtsutsuki Indra. It was a synergistic effect where the whole was greater than the sum of its parts.

Other Mangekyō Sharingan wielders couldn't possess such formidable power. Even an ordinary Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan paled in comparison to Sato's might.

Wait, the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan had different variations?

Yes, excluding the Ōtsutsuki clan, throughout the thousand-year history of the ninja world, there were only two pairs of Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

One pair belonged to Uchiha Madara, and the other was destined for Uchiha Sasuke in the future.

As the reincarnation of Indra, Uchiha Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, prior to receiving the Sage of Six Paths' power, couldn't match Uchiha Madara after he was resurrected during the Valley of the End battle.

Uchiha Madara had obtained Senju Hashirama's cells in addition to the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. The infusion of Hashirama's cells caused Madara's Sharingan power to skyrocket. Eventually, his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan evolved into the Rinnegan as he aged.

Similarly, Sato possessed a divine physique, granting his Sharingan power beyond that of a typical Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

Furthermore, as his physique continued to evolve, Sato's Sharingan power would further increase.

Once Sato closed the gap with Ōtsutsuki Ashura, his pair of Mangekyō Sharingan would evolve into the Rinnegan!

"So, what is my unique Sharingan technique?"

After experiencing the intensity of his Sharingan power, Sato became curious about his exclusive Sharingan technique.

To gauge an Uchiha clan member's strength, one only needed to assess the level of their Sharingan.

One Tomoe corresponded to a Genin, Two Tomoe to a Chūnin, Three Tomoe to a Jōnin, Mangekyō to Kage-level, Eternal Mangekyō to Super Kage-level, and Rinnegan to Six Paths level.

Uchiha who fully mastered the Three Tomoe Sharingan was elite Jōnin.

Once the Mangekyō Sharingan was awakened, it signified the individual as a Kage-level powerhouse.

Moreover, the Uchiha's Kage-level power was exceptionally formidable.

Their strength stemmed from the exclusive Sharingan techniques within the Mangekyō Sharingan, such as Susanoo —a power likened to a god and symbolizing destruction.

Additionally, Uchiha could sacrifice an eye to perform Sharingan techniques like Izanagi and Izanami.

Having a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan was equivalent to possessing five immensely powerful abilities.

Hence, every Uchiha who fully mastered the Mangekyō Sharingan became a Kage-level leader.

In general, the Mangekyō Sharingan had two unique Sharingan techniques—one for the left eye and one for the right eye.

However, there were cases of Mangekyō Sharingan with only one Sharingan technique, such as Obito's Kamui and Shisui's Kotoamatsukami.

Most of the Mangekyō Sharingan's Sharingan technique names were derived from gods in the mythologies of Sato's previous life, which belonged to Japan.

Sato took a deep breath, his face filled with astonishment.

Unlike others who gradually discovered their unique Sharingan technique after becoming familiar with the Mangekyō Sharingan, Sato, with his overpowered physique and astonishing Sharingan power, quickly learned his own exclusive technique.

His unique Sharingan technique was the same as Obito and Shisui's—only one! (Combined)

Its name was...Nirvana Sharingan: Divine Eye of Transcendence

So, what were the abilities of the Nirvana Sharingan technique?

Sato's exclusive Sharingan technique, Nirvana, manifested as a unique space akin to the underworld.

Unlike Uchiha Obito's Kamui, which allowed others to locate and enter his different space, and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's various different spaces, Sato's Nirvana Sharingan's different space was visible only to him with the aid of mysterious beads.

Consequently, Sato couldn't transfer his body to a different space like Uchiha Obito or enter an impervious state.

Furthermore, Nirvana Sharingan's ability was intertwined with Sato's mysterious bead.

The black light emitted by the mysterious bead merged with Yin Release chakra to derive the exclusive Sharingan technique Nirvana.

This black light served as a connection channel, linking the refining space to Nirvana's different space.

More accurately, the Nirvana Sharingan's different space became a lower realm of the refining space.

As a result, Nirvana Sharingan's abilities were associated with the refining space, specifically...

From then on, those devoured by Sato would no longer leave behind physical bodies or souls once fully refined.

However, after being devoured, each individual would leave a tombstone in Nirvana Sharingan's different space.

Sato could employ the abilities of the devoured, absorbing their Sharingan power and chakra. He could then revive them as corpses, controlling them as his puppets and slaves.

These corpses were only killed within the confines of the real world, not experiencing true death.

As long as the tombstone in Nirvana's different space remained intact and Sato remained alive, he could summon them again.

Naturally, this ability, similar to Impure World Reincarnation, wasn't the reason Sato gasped in shock.

The true cause of his astonishment lay in another aspect of Nirvana.

Similar to Kamui's dual abilities of offense and defense, and Kotoamatsukam's abilities of permanence and transience...

Sato's Nirvana Sharingan possessed two abilities.

The left eye's Nirvana allowed those devoured by Sato to return to the real world in the form of corpses.

The right eye's Nirvana, however, acted as a tombstone, absorbing Sato's Sharingan power and taking his place when he suffered fatal damage. It allowed the owner of the tombstone to die in his stead.

Indeed, if Sato faced lethal damage, the tombstone would perish instead of him.

As for himself, he would only pay the cost of Sharingan power.

"...To turn those I devour into puppets and slaves, and to let them die in my place when I face death..."

This time, he truly felt invincible!
