Chapter 35: The Sharingan Evolves, Unlocking Exclusive Skills



Unfortunately, Takuya didn't share the custom of announcing the start of a meal. Minato and the others were used to this by now and happily dug into their food.

"If the village assigns you tasks, won't you all become quite busy?" Kushina suddenly realized.

She preferred the days when Takuya and his friends picked up occasional missions and spent the majority of their time in the village, training, resting, and keeping her company. With Tsunade and Jiraiya at the front lines, Kushina felt a pang of loneliness without familiar faces around.

"We'll make time to be with you during our breaks. If we're not in the village, you'll need to focus on strengthening yourself, Kushina. I'm looking forward to the day you gain your freedom," Takuya reassured her.

What instability in a Jinchuriki? Nonsense! True strength is the key to obtaining what you desire, including freedom. Look at Mito Uzumaki; no one dared to cross her-not only because she was the First Hokage's wife but also due to her formidable power. With enough strength, even a Jinchuriki can demand freedom and dictate their terms in the village.

Of course, that's assuming you're not swayed by the Will of Fire.

"Mm-hmm, I'll work hard!" Kushina was full of determination, pumping her fists with resolve. She decided to train harder and increase her strength, not just to protect herself and those she cared about, but also to earn the freedom she craved.

After a satisfying meal, Takuya felt an itch in his eyes—a sign that his Sharingan was about to evolve. He excused himself to head home early. Seeing Takuya leave, and Kushina looking like she wanted to go shopping with Mikoto, Minato also decided to take his leave.

Once Minato was gone, Kushina turned to Mikoto and asked, "Mikoto, does staying together bother you? I just want to know what Takuya likes. The last gift I gave him for his birthday... he didn't seem to like it much."

Kushina was frustrated about it. She had racked her brain over Takuya's birthday gift, consulting even Tsunade and Jiraiya for ideas, which led to a whimsical decision to give Takuya a ninja tool bag filled with money...

When Takuya opened his gift, he was utterly shocked. A girl giving him money-was this some kind of sponsorship? Naturally, he couldn't accept the money and even returned the ninja tool bag, leaving Kushina dismayed for days, especially since it was Tsunade's idea to give money.

"Food?" Mikoto pondered for a moment after Kushina's question.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Meanwhile, as Takuya's discomfort subsided, his eyes adjusted, and a third tomoe appeared in his Sharingan. The evolution to a three-tomoe Sharingan was a milestone that would have made any Uchiha envious.

Beyond the evolution of his Sharingan, Takuya unlocked his first exclusive skill-a genjutsu named "Cherry Blossom Fall," humorously dubbed by gamers as the ultimate social death technique. Anyone caught in this genjutsu would find themselves dancing uncontrollably amidst falling cherry blossoms. The spectacle of an enemy, especially on a battlefield, breaking into an impromptu dance could be both humiliating and strategically disorienting. The worst part? Cherry Blossom Fall was a guaranteed hit unless the target had significant resistance or mental fortitude to ward off genjutsu.

Takuya, who once dreaded unwelcome confrontations with Danzo, now somewhat hoped for an encounter, just to test his new genjutsu on him. The sight of Danzo, the formidable head of the Foundation, dancing helplessly would certainly be entertaining.

"Kazekage-sama, this is the latest intelligence from the battlefield in the Land of Rain," an operative reported to the Third Kazekage, who accepted the scroll with a stone-faced expression.

"Thank you. With Konoha heavily engaged in Rain and Tsuchi gearing up, should we not consider moving?" pondered the Kazekage, his gaze drifting to the stormy skies outside.

"If I may, Kazekage-sama," the chief intelligence officer Ebizo interjected, "it might be wiser to let Konoha and Rain exhaust each other further."

The Kazekage knew the precarious financial state of Suna all too well. Lacking economic resources and dependent on the Daimyo's funding, which was growing scarce, the village was desperate for a solution that could ensure its survival and independence.

The session in the office grew tense as strategies were debated, with each decision bearing the weight of Suna's future.
