Chapter 237 - – 234 A Tough Decision
After transferring his soul to the clone body, Kuroto suddenly opened his eyes but a sudden sense of dizziness attacked, Kuroto had to grit his teeth and immediately close his eyes and then open again after a bit of adapting.
At this time, Kuroto's brain was able to perceive a strange red and black pattern from his eyes.
Kuroto's state was in sort of a trance due to the dizziness and he had to spend a few seconds getting used to the feeling and then try getting up.
"It's really not an easy task to use someone else's dojutsu!" – Kuroto muttered helplessly.
Now Kuroto can somewhat understand that people like Nagato and Kakashi; who could adapt to the transplanted dojutsu albeit only to a limited extent really have a tough time.
Shaking his head to let go of these thoughts, Kuroto focused on adapting to these eyes, and when the sense of dizziness subsided, he was finally able to concentrate to some extent; as such he carefully got up from the test bench and walked towards the mirror.
He really wanted to observe these transplanted eyes, and Kuroto was a bit surprised as he saw those unique black eyes with a scarlet pattern but at the same time, there was a bit of letdown because the pattern was not that of the Mangekyou Sharingan, but of the three-tomoe Sharingan.
Understanding this, Kuroto muttered, "No wonder the dizziness suddenly subsided!"
Initially, Kuroto was a bit happy and felt that the adaptability of the Mangekyou Sharingan was much easier than he expected as it only took a few minutes to adapt to the transplanted pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, but it appears that wasn't the case, as the Mangekyou Sharingan automatically retracted to the three tomoe state.
But after pondering for a while, Kuroto felt that this is natural.
After all, even Kakashi; who's Mangekyou Sharingan was awakened by his own chakra also couldn't fully adapt to the Mangekyou Sharingan, and had to spend a whole lot of time to train and get used to the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Even Nagato's case was the same and so was Danzo's.
This clearly shows that transplanting other's dojutsu is never going to be easy.
Of course, Kuroto has a lot of advantages over these people.
Firstly, Kuroto himself is a shinobi who has access to two dojutsu being the Byakugan and the Tenseigan.
Secondly, because of his experience in adapting to the Tenseigan at the time of awakening it, Kuroto will obviously not face as many problems as Kakashi and others went through.
Thirdly, his soul is used to the feeling of Tenseigan Chakra, which is a superior dojutsu compared to Sharingan and Mangekyou Sharingan so that's another plus point for Kuroto.
And finally, compared to Kakashi who had no personal knowledge, resource material, or guidance on how to use Sharingan and Mangekyou Sharingan, Kuroto is in a much better case, there is a lot of information he tortured out of the Uchiha Brothers, then there is Shisui and Shinichi who would not mind giving him all the information he needs, thus Kuroto wouldn't have to spend a lot of time and effort in getting used to the basics, unlike Kakashi.
With that clear, Kuroto used the same approach to activate the Mangekyou Sharingan as he used with the Tenseigan.
And soon enough, as the Chakra was directed towards the eyes, the three black tomoe spinning in the scarlet copy wheel started converging together.
Followed by the merging, the same sense of dizziness again struck Kuroto, the sudden trance caused by the dizziness interrupted the eye-opening process as the first attempt resulted in a failure.
"Huff… huff…!" – Stabilizing himself to prevent the fall, Kuroto heavily gasped for breath, although this attempt resulted in a failure there was no sign of disappointment on Kuroto's face. This is because Kuroto understood that his approach was indeed correct as he expected, it's just that it would take some time to get used to the pressure of Mangekyou Sharingan.
However, time is a currency that Kuroto lacks the most.
Slow adaption is also undesirable, although the current clone he is using does not have genes belonging to the Uchiha Clan, no matter how much effort is required to adapt in the least amount of time possible, Kuroto must do it.
Having made up his mind, regardless of whether he could bear the immediate burden or not, Kuroto forcible directed Charka to the Sharingan to activate the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Under Kuroto's control, the chakra in his body violently gathered around the veins moving towards the eyes and flowed into the Sharingan, as a result activating the Mangekyou Sharingan, but the sense of dizziness interrupted midway.
"Tch… now even a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan wants to stump me?" – as he cursed, Kuroto's expression hardened and he put more effort.
Kuroto didn't know how long it passed but the dizziness finally started to diminish and no longer prevented Kuroto from concentrating and thinking.
At the same time, his blurry vision also gradually started clearing up.
On his image inside the mirror, Kuroto also saw that the pattern of the eyes has finally changed from the three tomoe to that of Hideki's Mangekyou Sharingan.
Soon, information started coming to his mind about the name of some techniques and their mechanism.
"So, it's called 'Daikokuten'?" – Kuroto muttered with a thoughtful expression.
The techniques of both the eyes are the same, it is called 'Daikokuten' and it guards the user against darkness and guides the user towards the light, the darkness can be anything; that is spiritual, Genjutsu attacks, Soul attacks, or Fuinjutsu attacks that effects the soul of the user can be counted in the range of Daikokuten's coverage.
In other words, Daikokuten is a type of defensive Jutsu that guards the user's soul.
It's just that it does not have any active use but a passive one that would help the user stay guarded against any type of soul-damaging attacks.
Jutsu like Kotoamatsukami, Tsukuyomi, Taikyokuzu, Shiki Fujin (Dead Demon Consuming Seal) would no longer have any effect on a person who has Daikokuten in his arsenal!
Understanding this, Kuroto thought, 'Although this Dojutsu wouldn't be useful most of the time when needed in the face of people like Shisui, Itachi, Fugaku, and Uzumaki Fuinjutsu users, Daikokuten will be a real lifesaver!'
As such this technique was really valuable.
Who knows what is the true extent of this ability, there might even be a possibility that this Dojutsu can even resist Jutsu like, 'Mugen Tsukuyomi' and 'Karma Seal' to a certain extent, and if that's really the case, then Daikokuten is incredibly valuable, and Kuroto can't help but feel greedy for this technique.
Since he has already found out the technique of Hideki's Mangekyou Sharingan, next he replaced those eyes with Ryota's Mangekyou Sharingan to better understand what are the techniques Ryota awakened.
As soon as, the information was received by his brain, Kuroto learned that the two Techniques Ryota awakened are called, 'Yaoyorozu' and 'Amatsuhikone' for the left and the right eye respectively.
'Yaoyorozu' the technique of the left eye is an augmentation type technique and allows the user to increase the physical stats of all the things that he wants to, sort of like a buff or strengthening for the physical aspects of thins.
While 'Amatsuhikone' the technique of the right eye is also an augmentation type technique, but it is different from its antipode, Amatsuhikone that allows the user to increase the energy stats of all the things that he wants to, sort of like a buff or increase the energy aspects.
After getting this information, Kuroto was able to understand how Ryota was able to maintain such a large Susanoo with the condition he was in and was still alive even after suffering damage from Azure Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.
Ryota used 'Yaoyorozu' to increase his own and Susanoo's physical aspects, then used 'Amatsuhikone' to increase the chakra in his body to supply the necessary amount of chakra needed to maintain such a large Full-Body Susanoo.
But there was still one thing confusing Kuroto, 'If the two techniques are these then what was that golden fire?'
I mean his Susanoo's color is indeed golden but those golden flames were a bit different so they couldn't have been the same or is it possible that he created that golden fire using these two techniques?
This might be the case, or is it possible that those Golden Flames are abilities of Ryota's Susanoo itself? Each Susanoo grants its user some kind of weapon, perhaps Ryota's Susanoo allowed him to wield those Golden Flames.
"I will have to look into that later on!" – muttered Kuroto.
With that out of the way, Kuroto was now in another dilemma. He has to choose two techniques out of the three that he is going to keep at the time of fusing the two Mangekyou Sharingan pairs into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan pair.
It is inevitable that when the two pairs fuse to give the Eternal Mangekyou, the abilities of one of the pair will be lost, and since all the three techniques are incredibly useful, so there is a tough decision before him, and Kuroto will have no choice but to make it sooner or later.
"Which one to abandon, 'Daikokuten,' 'Yaoyorozu,' or 'Amatsuhikone'? A tough decision indeed!"
