  "Why are you so excited?" Shin asked, seeing Kushina rush toward him with an overjoyed expression just as he and Konaurned home.

  "Take a guess. If you get it right, there's a reward~." Kushina grinned mischievously, eyes dang with anticipation.

  Internally, Shin rolled his eyes. Guess? He wasn't a mind-reader; how could he know why she was all worked up?

  "Knock off the riddle game, Kushina. Just tell me." Shin waved a hand dismissively.

  "Knew you'd say that. Holy, I'm not the one who should be celebrating—Mikoto is." Kushina looked behi Mikoto.

  Shin turned, a bit puzzled, toward Mikoto. Catg his gaze, she silently activated her Sharingan, revealing three tomoe that spun rapidly—then joiogether to form a kaleidoscopic pattern.

  "Mikoto, you awakehe Mangekyō Sharingan?" Shin's face lit up in genuine surprise, never expeg Mikoto to suddenly unlock the Mangekyō.

  "Mm. I realized it earlier." Mikoto gave a faint nod. She was just as happy—after all, for an Uchiha, unlog the Mangekyō Sharingan was a moal milestone.

  Shin frowned slightly, trying to puzzle out how it happened so suddenly. 'Could it be ected to what happehe ht? '

  He quickly dismissed the notion of "dual cultivation" in the Naruto world—did. It was more likely aional trigger. Sadness, joy, love, anguish—many stroions could spark a Mangekyō.

  But the exact "How" didn't really matter. The important thing was that Mikoto now has the Mangekyō Sharingan.

  "Mikoto, don't overuse your Mangekyō." Shin cautioned. "Even though it's a great boon, the Mangekyō lead to eventual blindness with excessive use."

  Just like Sasuke Uchiha, who almost went blind after using his Mangekyō Sharingan too much.

  Shin didn't know how to help Mikoto awakeernal Mangekyō Sharinga, so he advised her to avoid using it too much.

  "Right, Mikoto, which abilities did you get?" Shin asked curiously.

  Kushina, Tsunade, and Konan all turo Mikoto, eager to hear her answer. Despite seeing Mikoto so thrilled, they'd hought to ask about her new ocur powers.

  "Two Genjutsu: my left eye has Tsukuyomi, and my right eye has Kotoamatsukami." Mikoto replied softly.

  Shin's eyebrows shot up. If Mikoto truly had those two teiques, she might bee the stro Genjutsu-type ninja out there—aside from Shin himself.

  He was already familiar with Tsukuyomi, though his version wasly a direct Mangekyō teique but an advanced "replica."

  But Kotoamatsukami was even more formidable, allowing the user to infiltrate a target's mind without dete and alter their will, permaly rewriting their thoughts. Possibly the only Genjutsu mightier than that was Infisukuyomi—the world-scale illusion.

  "These two Genjutsu are insanely strong. You could probably defeat Tsunade or Kushina if you used them." Shin remarked, half-joking.

  Kotoamatsukami, in particur, was a terrifying tool. Mikoto's spiritual energy easily surpassed both Tsunade's and Kushina's, so trolling them should theoretically be possible.

  "Is it really that powerful?" Kushina frowned in mild disbelief.

  Tsunade, however, found it quite pusible—Sharingan-based illusions were renowned for their lethality. Skilled Genjutsu users sometimes ended battles in an instant, leaving oppos with no idea how they lost.

  "Well, I wouldn't want to use them on you two," Mikoto said, smilily.

  Then she expihe ws of Tsukuyomi and Kotoamatsukami to Kushina and Tsunade, who fell silent upon hearing how broken those abilities sounded.

  "Sharingan powers are that overpowered? Kinda makes me jealous." Kushina muttered.

  "But it 't trol just anyone," Shin chimed in. "If Mikoto tried using it on someone like Uchiha Madara, it probably wouldn't work."

  Against someoh immense spiritual power, illusions might fail. That was the reality for all genjutsu, no matter how impressive.

  "Oh, so it's not all that then," Kushina said, sounding relieved.

  "Huh? It may not be invincible, but it'd still work perfectly on you." Shin shot her a sidelong gnce.

  "Ugh… Mikoto, promise me you won't mind-hack me!" Kushina quickly pleaded.

  "Well… that depends on how you behave." Mikoto teased, fshing her a sly smile.

  "Anyway, the Mangekyō Sharingan is seriously dangerous. Looking back, the Senju must be pretty impressive to have bested the Uchiha time and time again." Tsunade ented.

  "Impressive? Doesn't look that way now. The Uchiha are still around ahy, while the Senju have almost nothing." Kushina interjected.

  BOOOOMM!!!—Tsunade smacked Kushina's head.

  "Who says we have nothing? Am I not a Senju, huh?" Tsunade gred.

  "Ow… you didn't have to punch me." Kushina rubbed her head, wing.

  "Be grateful I didn't go all out!" Tsunade grumbled, rolling her eyes.

  Shin watched Mikoto's Mangekyō, exhaling softly.

  Bad timing—his System was still undergoing an upgrade. Otherwise, he'd definitely copy her Kotoamatsukami.
