Chapter 4

"It seems that something terrible has come out."

Ryu witnessed Chakra bursting out of Indra, and his expression became slightly excited.

Ōtsutsuki Indra, the eldest son of Sage of Six Paths Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, and the ancestor of the Uchiha family—why is Uchiha Madara so formidable? Because he is the reincarnation of Indra Chakra.

If Uchiha Madara is not the reincarnation of Indra Chakra, it is absolutely impossible for him to awaken the Rinnegan.

Not to mention whether Indra's Chakra has enhanced his strength, the most crucial factor is the Rinnegan.

If Ryu can obtain Ashura Chakra as well, given the right opportunity, he might be able to awaken the Rinnegan.

After acquiring Indra Chakra, Ryu does feel a subtle transformation within himself.

The quality and quantity of his Chakra have significantly increased, and he even senses a slight improvement in his physical prowess. However, the most notable change is in his ocular power.

It feels as if the Two Gouyu Sharingan is on the verge of evolving into the Three Tomoe Sharingan.

The Three Tomoe Sharingan is already at the limit for an ordinary Sharingan. Most Uchiha clan members can only unlock up to the three-gou jade.

As for the Mangekyō Sharingan, not many have manifested throughout history.

"Fire Style·Extinguish the fire!"

Ryu effortlessly displayed the hand seals for the jutsu to extinguish his fire, showcasing the prowess of the renowned fire-extinguishing technique. Ryu's mastery over it indicates that he could effortlessly demolish a building in an instant.

And there is considerable room for improvement.

"Go away."

Exiting the trial space, Ryu found himself back in the main area of the system.

"Congratulations, Ryu." Xiaomeng congratulated Ryu on his success.

"Congratulations are indeed in order; my luck is exceptionally good."

Ryu dismantled the Indra Chakra from the juvenile Madara, undoubtedly the most valuable possession.

Subsequently, Ryu opened the property panel in silence.

Overall Evaluation: Special Jōnin

"I possess such a luxurious property panel, and the overall evaluation is a special Jōnin. Is that accurate?"

After reviewing it, Ryu queried Xiaomeng, feeling somewhat unconvinced. The title of a Jōnin implies expertise in specific areas, but his comprehensive abilities fall short of the Jōnin standard.

"This evaluation considers your combat experience, and aside from Chakra and mental attributes, you truly cannot compare to a genuine Jōnin."

Xiaomeng clarified Ryu's standing.

"What holds you back is your age. You're merely ten years old, and you're already remarkably strong."

Although Ryu has three times the training time in the system's training space, this time augmentation does not affect his age and physical development.

Even with three times the training time, his body remains that of a ten-year-old.

Currently, Ryu progresses relatively slowly in strengthening his abilities. It's his age that imposes limitations, and Ryu has no control over that.

However, the ninjutsu panel is quite impressive. Among them, Ryu independently developed the Rasengan by understanding its principles.

The other ninjutsu were conveniently acquired based on his identity.

"Xiaomeng, tell me about Morita Wu. Who is he?"

Ryu inquired about Morita, the only individual Ryu lacked information about.

"Not noteworthy—a regular ninja from Rock Shinobi Village." Xiaomeng provided Ryu with a straightforward answer.

"Then, I'll challenge him," Ryu decided to challenge Morita.

Upon entering the trial space, Ryu effortlessly dispatched Morita with a Fire Style·Fire Extinguishment. Ryu found it too easy, with Morita offering no resistance.

[Ding, you kill Morita without projection, gain: 100 points, 5 years of life, strength +2]

"Can both lifespan and strength attributes be increased?" Ryu paid little attention to lifespan, considering he is still young, but the strength attribute appears to have seen a modest improvement.

"With six thousand and one hundred points, there aren't many things to exchange for."

A single Tomoe Sharingan costs five thousand points; Ryu would have undoubtedly redeemed it if he hadn't already unlocked the Sharingan.

"Why didn't I activate these features earlier?" Ryu recalled the trials he endured to awaken the Sharingan. It was a difficult journey. Ryu even went to the extent of jumping off a cliff to stimulate himself.

In the end, Ryu succeeded. He should be the earliest Sharingan awakener in the history of the Uchiha clan, unlocking the Sharingan at the tender age of seven.

As far as the records show, only Two Pillars hoped to surpass Ryu. The Second Pillar had forcibly awakened it on the night of the clan massacre at around the same age.

However, the timing of awakening doesn't necessarily correlate with future achievements.

"Xiaomeng, I want to challenge myself," Ryu informed Xiaomeng.

"Ryu, don't even think about it," Xiaomeng hastily advised Ryu.

"By the way, what happens if I am killed in the trial space?" Ryu asked Xiaomeng. He forgot to inquire about it earlier, and contemplating it now seems quite perilous.

"You won't die if killed, but you have to endure the pain of death. You'll recover immediately upon leaving the trial space."

Ryu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. As long as he doesn't die, there's nothing to fear.

"Xiaomeng, send me in to face myself," Ryu requested. He wanted to confront his Mangekyō Sharingan self, even if he couldn't defeat it. He merely wanted to witness the abilities of his Mangekyō Sharingan unfold.

The price of a Three Tomoe Sharingan in the exchange system is 50,000 points. If he evolves successfully, it's equivalent to saving 50,000 points.

"This is your request. Don't blame me if you get beaten up," Xiaomeng warned Ryu before sending him into the trial space to face his Mangekyō Sharingan projection.

Ten seconds later, Ryu emerged from the trial space, expressionless.

"I got killed so quickly?" Xiaomeng was surprised. She thought Ryu could last at least a minute, but he returned in just ten seconds.

"It's ruthless to start with—Susanoo is activated immediately upon encountering it."

As soon as Ryu entered, before he could even assess the state of his Mangekyō Sharingan projection, Susanoo was summoned.

Susanoo was in its third form, the peak state achievable with Mangekyō Sharingan. Ryu was swiftly overwhelmed, even before his projection could unleash the other two ocular techniques.

In reality, Ryu challenged his own projection to understand the abilities of his Mangekyō Sharingan. Whoever confronts his projection experiences a powerful onslaught from the start.
