Shin experimented with Yomotsu Hirasaka. This teique could be used offensively, to shorten the distance for le Jutsu, or to disrupt and ambush oppos. It could also be used defensively, for evasion and escape. It was incredibly versatile.
The Chakra cost was manageable, but the strain on his eyes was signifit. His Mangekyō Sharingan had limited ocur power.
If he didn't have the Perfect Sage Body, using these abilities a few times would risk blindness.
Blindness was caused by depleting ocur power. Once depleted, the Mangekyō Sharingan's power couldn't be replehere were two ways to overe this: evolve it into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, or transpnt Hashirama's cells and survive.
With his Perfect Sage Body, Shin didn't have to worry about perma blindness. His ocur power would regee, but he was ed about running out mid-battle.
Regeion took time. In a fight, he wouldn't have time to wait for his eyes to recover.
If he evolved his Mangekyō Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, he would have practically unlimited ocur power. The regeion rate would match the ption rate.
He o find a way to evolve his Sharingan quickly.
He wasn't worried, though. As long as he had time, he could evolve his Sharingan naturally.
After awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, Shin had sensed a resoween his eyes and his body.
Influenced by his Perfect Sage Body, his ocur power was slowly increasing. O reached a certain threshold, his Mangekyō Sharingan would evolve into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
The Sage Body and the Sharingan were indeed plementary, representing Yin and Yang, the perfect bance.
"Time to head back. Kushina will be looking for me."
Shin headed towards the Senju pound, his sword strapped to his back.
This wasn't just any sword; it was the one he had taken from the Uzumaki Shrine.
After some research, he discovered it was one of the Kusanagi swords.
There were eleven Kusanagi swords in the Naruto world. Itachi Uchiha's Totsuka Bde was one of them.
Shin's Kusanagi sword didn't have the lengthening ability of Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword or the sealing ability of Itachi's Totsuka Bde, but it did have the Chakra-dug ability of Sasuke's sword.
Its greatest strengths were its durability and sharpness. It could cut through steel like butter.
Shin didn't need any special abilities. He just needed a sword that could withstand his strength and swordsmanship. In his hands, it was the ultimate on.
Back at the courtyard, he saw a feast id out oable. His face paled.
"Who made this?"
He looked at Tsunade and Kushina suspiciously. The food looked and smelled delicious, but to him, it oison.
"I did," Mikoto said, emerging from the kit with a pot of miso soup.
"Oh, Mikoto. That's a relief."
Shin sat down, ign Tsunade and Kushina's gres.
"Mikoto, you didn't go home?"
"Why, Shin? Don't you want me here?"
Mikoto's gentle gaze made Shin feel a strange sense of danger. Was it just his imagination? Mikoto was so sweet; how could she be dangerous?
"Of course I'm gd you're here, Mikoto. I was just curious."
"I asked her to stay," Tsunade said.
Knowing Mikoto had no family, Tsunade had invited her to stay, hoping she would keep Kushina pany and prevent her from sneaking into Shin's room at night.
Shin and Kushioo old to be sharing a bed. Tsunade didn't want to see that.
The m, Tsuook Shin, Kushina, and Mikoto to the Hokage's office to accept a mission.
They didn't o see the Hokage for ordinary missions; he'd be overwhelmed.
But as new graduates, if they wao take on missions above D-rank, they needed his approval.
"Sandaime, I want to take on a higher-level mission. Please sign this application."
Tsunade pced the form in front of Hiruzen.
"A higher-level mission?"
Hiruzen frowned, gng at Shin, Kushina, and Mikoto. "No," he said, shaking his head.
"They're new graduates. They should start with D-rank missions to gain experience."
"What kind of experience? How to be better farmers? So they bee farmers breeders if they fail as Shinobi?"
Hiruzen's lips twitched. Tsunade had a point. D-rank missions were mostly useless and didn't provide araining.
"But what if they're in danger?"
"I'll take responsibility. Just sign the form."
Tsunade smmed the form on his desk.
"Fine."
Hiruzen sighed and sighe form. With Tsunade leading the team, he wasn't that worried.
Tsuook them to the mission assig desk.
"What kind of mission do you want?" she asked.
"Something with blood," Shin said after exging gnces with Kushina and Mikoto.
The type of mission didn't matter, as long as it helped Kushina and Mikoto grow.
For a new Genin, the best way to grow was to kill someone.
If you didn't have the resolve to kill, you shouldn't be a Shinobi. It wasn't a merciful profession; killing art of the job.
Tsunade nodded. "Let's take this k mission: bandit extermination."
She hahe form to the mission desk clerk and accepted the mission.
Bandit extermination was a ission fenin teams. Being a bandit in the Shinobi world was a tough job.
New graduates, after pleting a few D-rank missions, would move on to higher-level missions.
Fag enemy Shinobi directly was out of the question. Sending new graduates against experienced Shinobi was suicide.
But they o experience real bat, to kill, to bee true Shinobi.
Killing i people was uable. Shinobi weren't executioners. So, bandits were the best thing. They were a menace, and killing them ublic service.
In the Shinobi world, bandits were both hated and pitied. They were stantly being hunted, serving as stepping stones for new graduates.
Alert: New mission avaible. View?
The System's voice echoed in Shin's mind.
Shin opehe mission panel and saw the bandit extermination mission.
[Bandit Extermination: Elimihe bandits near Nishi-mura. Reward: One on Replication Card. Failure: y.]
