MTLNOVEL Chapter 80: The Third Tomoe
As time progressed to Konoha Year 43, Shiyu Uchiha, who had already awakened the double-comma Sharingan, underwent nearly three more years of arduous training. Finally, just before his fifteenth birthday, his double-comma Sharingan evolved into a triple-comma Sharingan.
After unlocking the triple-comma Sharingan, Shiyu Uchiha sensed a dormant force within his bloodline awakening under the stimulation of the Sharingan and gradually releasing itself. This power was not only stronger than what he experienced when first awakening the double-comma stage but also continuous in nature, although it steadily weakened over time.
Well-prepared, Shiyu Uchiha followed the techniques he had studied together with Uchiha Shizhi and used meditation techniques to actively guide this energy, continuously enhancing his physical strength.
As his body strengthened, his spiritual power and vitality surged as well, giving his chakra reserves a major boost in no time.
Shiyu Uchiha roughly estimated that his total chakra reserves had already exceeded the average among Jonin. Moreover, this growth had not yet stopped—it was simply weakening gradually over time.
He speculated that by the time this surge completely faded, his total chakra might have doubled compared to before awakening the triple-comma Sharingan. Although still far from being called a chakra "tank," if used carefully, there wouldn't be any risk of running dry during peacetime.
With such a vast amount of chakra, combined with his current understanding of elemental transformation and shape transformation of Fire Release techniques, Shiyu Uchiha could now fully demonstrate the signature fire techniques of the Uchiha clan. Their destructive power could easily match up to that of any fire-specialist Jonin in Konoha. When factoring in the auxiliary abilities granted by the triple-comma Sharingan, his overall combat capability ranked quite highly among the Jonin ranks.
However, possibly due to the Uchiha bloodline's natural inclination toward Yin Release, his spiritual power grew faster than his vitality—not only quantitatively but qualitatively as well. Consequently, the Yin Release attribute intertwined within his chakra became increasingly potent.
If Shiyu Uchiha were also proficient in Genjutsu, he might now have a shot at taking on even Kage-level opponents—though his chances of winning would still be slim.
To accelerate the completion of his Sharingan evolution, Shiyu Uchiha once again entered his Spiritual Sea with his consciousness and sensed the tangible manifestation of the Sharingan formed from his bloodline power and spiritual energy. On its surface sat three pitch-black Yin Release tomoe formed through the influence of Yin Release.
Using his meditation technique, he focused on stabilizing these three tomoe while also calming the spiritual turbulence triggered by the evolution of the Sharingan.
As he stabilized the Sharingan, Shiyu Uchiha reviewed the known abilities of his Sharingan based on years of research.
The Sharingan's first ability was Insight. When all three tomoe activated, Shiyu Uchiha's Sharingan gained triple insight power. With their combined strength, this ability surpassed his expectations by far—much stronger than merely three times the power of a single tomoe, as if 1+1+1 had somehow equaled more than 3.
Then there was the Replication ability, born from the resonance of two tomoe. In the third-tomoe stage, it evolved into Triple Replication. The enhancement from this combined power matched the boost seen in Insight.
Finally came Hypnosis, the ability Shiyu valued most. Formed through the harmony of all three tomoe, this skill could potentially eliminate his last weakness, so he couldn't afford to take it lightly. Possessing another ability in battle opened up entirely new possibilities and could even lead to a sudden, decisive move.
Under Shiyu's focused perception, the hypnotic power naturally inherent in the third-tomoe Sharingan gradually surfaced as the three tomoe stabilized.
Shiyu carefully experienced this newly emerged, powerful energy, immersing himself in its sensation for quite some time before finally snapping back to reality. He realized that beyond its basic hypnotic function, this force felt like a prototype of a passageway—one that might one day unlock his true potential when fully developed.
At that moment, Shiyu sensed something strange: deep within this channel seemed to lie his true power. However, due to his insufficient foundation at present, he couldn't access it yet. Worse still, this feeling stirred a frustrating urge to explore further without any clue on where or how to begin.
He had no choice but to forcefully suppress these emotions and concentrate on meditation to calm his mind.
After meditating and easing his frustration, Shiyu gained deeper understanding about the nature of the Uchiha Clan. From this, he formed a hypothesis regarding the Mangekyou.
Although just a theory, drawing from his knowledge of spiritual energy, the Uchiha bloodline, and historical records about Mangekyou awakenings, he believed he had come very close to the truth.
The Mangekyou likely emerged when extreme emotions triggered an outburst of spiritual potential, simultaneously increasing the activity of the Uchiha bloodline itself. When both temporarily broke their limits, this channel might either open briefly or truly awaken permanently, evolving the third-tomoe Sharingan into a Mangekyo Sharingan. While this advancement was positive, such forced growth would inevitably cause various issues—one possibly being the clan's well-known emotional instability.
In Shiyu's opinion, Mangekyo Sharingan's dojutsu techniques required further development—born from combining the deepest desires of the soul with the Uchiha bloodline's power. Its manifestation resembled granting a wish, though fulfilling that wish often came at a twisted cost—perfectly aligned with Yin Release's essence of "creation from nothingness."
Of course, there were always exceptions—rare prodigies who could leap past stages entirely and awaken with such power already within reach.
There was also the so-called divine power, [Susanoo]. Originally, it was described as the ultimate force residing within the Sharingan. Shiyu Uchiha felt that this ability, which created form from nothingness like Yin Release, was similarly a manifestation of combining such power with bloodline inheritance—though likely at a higher level where the bloodline itself acted as a template.
Perhaps because the Mangekyou's abilities were too powerful while the physical body didn't improve accordingly, overuse could harm the body. The most noticeable symptom was vision deterioration, followed by bloodline illness and more—similar to computer hardware failing due to insufficient capacity and eventually burning out.
The Eternal Mangekyou could eliminate these side effects, probably because one's life essence had become strong enough to withstand such pressure. Perfect integration with Hashirama's Cells would also elevate one's life essence, making one fearless against such stress.
Shiyu Uchiha realized this ability closely resembled what his previous life called the sixth sense in Buddhist teachings. Once awakened, it granted all sorts of inconceivable powers. Yet none among the Uchiha Clan who possessed the Mangekyou had reached the required mental state. They relied merely on extreme emotions to forcefully unleash their potential, hence suffering many side effects, such as bloodline illness and blindness.
After a moment's thought, Shiyu Uchiha buried these ideas in the back of his mind and moved on. After all, the Mangekyou was still somewhat distant from him at present, and all these thoughts were like watching flowers through fog—unclear and uncertain. Whether any of them were correct remained to be seen in the future.
Then he began attempting to activate his [hypnosis] ability, only to find there was no one around to test it on.
