"This... is hell..."
Muttering those words in a daze, Obito's Sharingan opened again and began to change.
Without any mistakes, the left eye turned into the Three Tomoe Sharingan, while the right eye's Tomoe quickly spun, seemingly on the verge of evolving into an eye that represented a legendary power.
This change was clearly noticed by those in the real world. Those who didn't know about the Mangekyō Sharingan were confused, while those who did stared wide-eyed, thinking it was impossible.
Could it be that Obito really intends to defy fate?
Is he trying to directly evolve into a Mangekyō Sharingan?
However, this astonishment quickly turned into regret, followed by a sigh of relief.
Because perhaps the accumulation wasn't enough, Obito's single eye evolution failed, and due to the intense mental shock caused by the drastic change in his eye, he lost consciousness and collapsed.
The genjutsu game immediately switched to emergency mode, kicking Obito's consciousness back to reality.
Seeing this, Rin and the others couldn't help but exclaim, rushing forward to check on Obito's condition.
Luckily, after a quick check by those who knew medical ninjutsu, they confirmed that Obito had only fainted from excessive mental strain and was not in any life-threatening danger.
Thus, Uchiha Kai allowed the Uchiha guards outside to come in and arranged for Obito to be taken to a nearby room to rest—after all, all the nearby houses had been bought by the Uchiha clan, so there was no issue with it.
Rin naturally volunteered to take care of Obito, and though Kakashi, with his usual pride, called him a fool, he followed along too.
It seemed they would be keeping watch over Obito together that night.
After the three left, Uchiha Kai glanced at the others and said, "Tonight, Obito successfully activated his three-tomoe Sharingan… just the three-tomoe Sharingan."
Hearing this, everyone was momentarily stunned. Kushina frowned, "But I clearly saw that Obito's right eye…"
"Kushina!" Minato interrupted, then said seriously, "Obito really only activated the three-tomoe Sharingan in one go."
Kushina was slightly taken aback, but then, understanding the unspoken communication between the couple, she immediately nodded.
"Right, tonight Obito activated the three-tomoe Sharingan. He's amazing, to get it so quickly. This is a true genius! He'll really slap the faces of those in the Uchiha clan who looked down on him and called him the shame of the Uchihas."
Now everyone understood the meaning behind this.
At that moment, Uchiha Kai shifted the topic and said to Uchiha Naori, "Naori-san, you've seen the effects of this new game. This completely unfiltered, full-sensory experience version will only be available internally to the Uchiha clan. The version sold externally won't have such extreme experiences."
"If Obito was able to awaken his Sharingan, the effects on others in the clan will likely be even better."
"Now, please relay the message to the clan leader and the others. Tell them that a game stronger than 'Return Home' has been completed, and the clan should be prepared."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Naori immediately nodded and went to convey Uchiha Kai's orders.
Soon, only Uchiha Kai and the original four-member group remained on site.
Uchiha Kai then turned his gaze to Kushina Uzumaki. "Next, it's your issue, Kushina."
Kushina Uzumaki was confused. "My issue? What issue?"
Minato Namikaze, on the other hand, understood Uchiha Kai's meaning. His eyes brightened, then he hesitated and asked, "Kai, is it really safe here?"
Uchiha Kai nodded. "Everyone's here, and Kikyo can assist. Her sealing techniques are good enough. Plus, when dealing with the Nine-Tails, we don't need too many people; as long as we have enough, it's fine."
Yes, Uchiha Kai planned to solve the Nine-Tails problem that had been troubling Kushina all at once.
Why would Uchiha Kai believe that they could now stand up against the Nine-Tails?
The answer is actually related to the Level 3 Mental Network mastery that Uchiha Kai recently acquired.
This level has many new abilities, and listing them all would take up a lot of space. Therefore, I'll explain the relevant abilities only when needed. One of these new abilities is called "Mental Resonance."
A detailed explanation is quite complicated, filled with technical terms, but to simplify it, it can be understood as the sharing of mental resources.
By resonating with another person's mind, one can gain a share of their mental power.
According to the system's description of the skill, in theory, this can only be done with others who also possess a mental network, as only then can a frequency link be established.
However, in the ninja world, this is impossible. There is no one else with a mental network, and the only person who possesses it is Uchiha Kai himself.
So, Uchiha Kai combined the power of the Sharingan to copy and paste another person's mental frequency through strong mental waves created in a genjutsu game.
Due to the characteristics of the Sharingan, this copying technique can only work on other Sharingan users.
Of course, simply copying the eye power wouldn't be very effective, since now there are plenty of Uchiha members with the three-tomoe Sharingan that Kai can use at will. He doesn't care about regular Sharingan.
The key is in the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
To summarize, theoretically, Uchiha Kai can now copy someone else's Mangekyo Sharingan ability by stimulating the mental link when they activate their Mangekyo.
Why would Uchiha Kai go to such lengths to help Uchiha Obito awaken his eyes? Does he really think he's some kind of saint?
No, this guy is simply after Obito's Mangekyo ability, Kamui.
Kamui is one of the most powerful and overpowered Mangekyo abilities in the entire Naruto series. Its insane life-saving capability alone is enough to make anyone jealous, even a time traveler.
Once Uchiha Kai realized he could potentially copy Kamui's ability—though it wouldn't be something he could use all the time—he still wanted it.
This is why tonight's extreme operation took place.
However, in the end, Obito failed to activate his Mangekyo due to insufficient chakra, and Kai was unable to copy Kamui.
But this failure wasn't a complete loss. Obito did manage to activate his eyes under the stimulation, and almost unlocked Kamui.
This half-awakened state still allowed Uchiha Kai to copy something, such as the level of ocular power that comes with the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Even though using it was highly draining for Kai, this ocular power would be more than enough to deal with the Nine-Tails.
