[Sharingan (One Tomoe) (2/3)]
Akira had been looking forward to this for a long time.
If there was one thing in the Naruto "server" that could be called the ultimate meta build, the Sharingan deserved the title without question.
Early game, mid game, late game—it never fell out of the meta.
From the tomoe Sharingan in the early stages,
to the Mangekyō Sharingan in the mid game,
to the Rinnegan in the late game,
and finally the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan at the very end…
That was what you called a true generational powerhouse—
every era had its gods, but every era also had the Sharingan.
Unfortunately, when Akira rolled his bloodline in the beginning, he hadn't gotten Uchiha.
He had drawn the Hyūga bloodline instead.
Which meant he couldn't awaken the Sharingan naturally.
The only way he could obtain one was as equipment.
And eye-type equipment could only occupy one slot.
There was no natural way to upgrade it, either.
To advance it, he would need to keep farming.
Three one-tomoe Sharingan could combine into one two-tomoe.
Three two-tomoe could combine into one three-tomoe.
Uchiha wouldn't drop two- or three-tomoe Sharingan directly.
Which meant Akira would need to farm at least nine Uchiha—
and realistically, probably more, considering drop rates.
To upgrade beyond that required a rare material:
Pain Crystals.
Only a handful of people dropped those.
Uchiha Itachi.
Uchiha Shisui.
Uchiha Obito.
Nagato.
Only those four.
To upgrade a Mangekyō Sharingan further required a second Mangekyō and the Uchiha bloodline.
And to evolve an Eternal Mangekyō into the Rinnegan required:
Senju bloodline
Uchiha bloodline
Max-level Wood Release
Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan
Three pieces of equipment and one skill combined
The result would be a skill: Rinnegan, including all of its abilities.
"…Though come to think of it, I definitely have to farm Itachi," Akira muttered, rubbing his chin.
Looking at the list, a surprising number of key items dropped from Itachi alone—Pain Crystals, Mangekyō Sharingan, even Uchiha bloodline.
As for Wood Release, future versions of Danzō, Obito, Yamato, and Madara could drop it.
If all else failed, even an Edo-Tensei version of Hashirama would work.
All of that, though, was mid- to late-game planning.
For now—
He equipped the Sharingan.
He didn't hide it immediately. He wanted to see where it would appear.
Taking out a small mirror, he looked at his reflection.
His eyes were still Byakugan.
But on his forehead, a vertical eye had opened.
Inside it, a crimson pupil rotated slowly, a single tomoe circling within.
His vision sharpened instantly—almost comparable to his Endorphin Mode.
Well… three eyes would do that.
"So now I look like I'm cosplaying Kaguya," Akira muttered, touching the eye on his forehead.
Standing next to Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, they might actually look related.
Though technically… they were, distantly.
"If only I had Ōtsutsuki bloodline too."
Byakugan + Ōtsutsuki bloodline = Tenseigan.
There was also an ability in the ninja world similar to the Ōtsutsuki lineage:
Six Paths Mode.
To obtain it required mastering seven max-level chakra natures:
Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning, Yin, and Yang.
For example, Akira had been collecting Fire-Release techniques.
If he gathered ten Fire-Release jutsu and leveled them all to max, he could synthesize a higher-tier skill called Fire Release, allowing direct manipulation of flames with power comparable to Wood Release.
Seven such synthesized nature transformations were required.
Some elements—Water, Lightning, and Yang—could drop from specific enemies.
The rest had to be crafted manually.
And even that wasn't enough.
He would also need the chakra of all nine Tailed Beasts, combining them into Ten-Tails Chakra to unlock Six Paths Mode.
Six Paths Mode and the Ōtsutsuki bloodline looked similar in both appearance and ability—but they were fundamentally different.
One was a skill.
The other was equipment.
That alone showed how different they were.
"…Would it kill the system to blur that line a little?" Akira muttered.
Once he unlocked Six Paths Mode, maybe his Byakugan would evolve along with it.
He looked again at the Sharingan in the mirror, the single tomoe slowly turning.
Then he hid it.
A one-tomoe Sharingan mainly enhanced dynamic vision—
something his Byakugan already handled well.
Still, he unconsciously rubbed his eyes.
"…I hope there's no weird synergy between Sharingan and Byakugan."
In the game, there had never been any interaction between them.
Everything followed rigid system rules.
But this wasn't a game anymore.
And both dōjutsu ultimately traced back to Kaguya.
Who knew what might happen?
Shaking off the thought, Akira turned to his inventory.
There were quite a few good items there—most from farming the Phantom Troupe. He had nearly forgotten about them until checking with the Sharingan earlier.
Skills were secondary.
The important part was:
Enhancement +1 ×2
Transmutation +1 ×2
Conjuration +1 ×3
Emission +1 ×1
Specialization +1 ×1
Manipulation +1 ×1
Players didn't have to follow the strict Nen category limitations like Hunters did.
In ninja terms, these were basically attribute bonuses to chakra affinities.
Each +1 increased effectiveness in that category by 10%.
After using them all, his compatibility became:
Enhancement: 100%
Transmutation: 120%
Conjuration: 110%
Emission: 70%
Manipulation: 50%
Specialization: 10%
Even without using Hatsu, Nen could still imitate abilities from other categories to a limited extent—though that required leveling the Nen skill itself.
There was also a consumable talent dropped by Uvogin that increased physical strength.
Akira used it immediately.
As for skills, nothing stood out enough to spend experience on right now.
Equipment, however, had two particularly good pieces.
[Black Voice Phone: Includes two antennas]
Abilities:
Order Stamp (control others as puppets)
Auto Mode (activate full potential in desperate situations)
[Jutondō Tribe Wind Hole: +50 to all attributes]
The second item required creating a hole somewhere on the body, but it didn't occupy an equipment slot—and could be hidden.
Akira placed it in his wrist.
After equipping everything, he had finally digested all the rewards from the Hunter world.
Except for one item.
[Phantom Troupe Summoning Scroll]
"…This one's tricky," Akira muttered.
Then he stroked his chin.
"…Or I could summon one… and kill them again."
That didn't sound like a bad idea.
No one was around.
No one was watching him.
Neither Root nor ANBU were foolish enough to monitor a Hyūga inside his own home.
"Alright then… let's see."
Akira drew the Dark Warblade.
"Let's see who's unlucky enough to die twice… Chrollo? Phinks?"
He hadn't personally killed those two yet.
He activated the scroll.
