A moment later, inside the villa, Su Yang slowly opened his eyes and dispelled the clone.
At the site where the battle had taken place, only two corpses remained.
"Hired jujutsu sorcerers?"
Su Yang's expression turned cold. After interrogating them, he had learned the truth, the two jujutsu users had simply been hired. They had no idea who their actual employer was.
But Su Yang had already formed a solid guess.
Who else could it be besides the Star Religious Group or the Jujutsu higher-ups?
In fact, Su Yang was pretty sure it was the Star Religious Group.
The reason was simple: if it had been the Jujutsu higher-ups, then these two would've been far stronger.
Su Yang was certain that Gojo Satoru hadn't sugarcoated the encounter when reporting to the council.
Knowing that, the jujutsu elders wouldn't have sent such weaklings to deal with him.
After all, what had they brought? Their "strongest weapon" was a Grade 1 cursed spirit.
Seriously? What was that supposed to do?
Most importantly, the higher-ups of the jujutsu world looked down on any jujutsu sorcerer who worked as a mercenary. In their eyes, those people were filth, disgraces who tarnished the name of jujutsu.
No way they would stoop so low as to hire them.
Which meant… the culprits had to be from the Star Religious Group.
Although, based on what Su Yang knew about Suguru Geto, the guy didn't seem that brainless.
Whatever. I'll just pin it on him anyway.
Su Yang wasn't the type to waste energy over details.
What he did understand clearly was this: no matter whether it was Geto or the Jujutsu Council, as long as he displayed overwhelming strength, neither would dare lay a finger on Ai again.
With that in mind, Su Yang turned his focus to the system interface.
He was still a bit irritated by the night's events.
But he couldn't deny the truth, this encounter had brought in a ton of simulation points.
Now his simulation point total has surpassed 130,000!
And once it passed 100,000, the system had given him a new prompt:
[One-Click Simulation function unlocked!]
This feature allowed him to instantly recreate the outcome of his previous simulation, without going through the entire process again.
Su Yang immediately used today's refreshed simulation attempt to trigger a one-click simulation.
Why? Because he had sensed the presence of those jujutsu assassins ahead of time.
So as a precaution, he'd used this new feature to be ready for anything.
A safety net, basically.
The one-click simulation was over in a flash.
[World Selected: Naruto World]
[This is a One-Click Simulation. You will receive the same results as your last full simulation.]
[Simulation Complete!]
[Evaluation: A Rank]
Choose one of the following rewards (Simulation Points Required):
Option 1: Chakra (Lv. 20) – 10,000 points
Option 2: All Ninjutsu from the Simulation (with experience) – 15,000 points
Option 3: Mangekyō Sharingan – 100,000 points
Same as last time, aside from no new talent being offered.
The main reason Su Yang used one-click simulation this time was to instantly recover Chakra.
If he chose to bring back the Chakra reward, not only would his Chakra level increase, it would also fully restore his energy.
He'd discovered this benefit during a previous simulation, and it was incredibly useful, like pressing a reset button in combat.
A real lifesaver when things go south.
Though this time, the two assassins had been so weak it hadn't even been necessary.
Still, the one-click simulation wasn't a waste.
"I don't need more Chakra right now... So in that case, let's bring out the Mangekyō Sharingan."
Su Yang's eyes lit up as he focused on the final reward.
He was very curious: what would happen if he selected Mangekyō Sharingan again?
Would it directly evolve into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan?
[You've spent 100,000 Simulation Points to claim Mangekyō Sharingan.]
[You have acquired Mangekyō Sharingan. Your current Mangekyō Sharingan has been enhanced!]
[Would you like to evolve your current Sharingan into Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan?]
"Huh?"
Su Yang blinked in surprise.
But what shocked him even more was the state of his eyes.
"Wait... my Chakra's also doubled?"
He quickly pulled up his status window.
[Multiverse Simulator]
Host: Su Yang
Class: Ninja
Talents:
True Clone (Blue)
Power Amplification (Green)
Small Gains Add Up (White)
Skills:
Mangekyō Sharingan
Chakra (Lv. 21)
Simulation Points: 32,520
Simulations Remaining: 0 (refreshes daily)
Sure enough, Chakra had leveled up again, now at Lv. 21.
That might seem like just one level, but considering it was an upgrade from Level 20, that was a full doubling of power.
And more importantly,
His Sharingan had changed.
During that earlier battle, Su Yang had easily wiped out the cursed spirits, but techniques like Kamui and Amaterasu had still placed strain on his eyes.
By nightfall, he was already feeling some mild soreness from overuse.
It wasn't enough to affect his vision or trigger blindness, but damage had clearly accumulated.
Now though? After claiming the Mangekyō reward again?
Every trace of eye damage was gone.
Completely healed.
And even more excitingly,
His visual powers had grown stronger.
Su Yang knew Kamui's weaknesses well.
Its biggest flaw was that while absorbing or releasing matter, the user had to remain in solid form. He couldn't go intangible at the same time. On top of that, because Kamui concentrated so much Chakra in the eyes, it left him temporarily vulnerable.
Even though his Kamui was stronger than Obito's single-eye version, closer to the dual-eye version, his max duration for intangibility was still only seven or eight minutes.
But now?
His intangible duration had doubled!
And there was more,
Before, while in intangible form, he couldn't attack. Kamui could only be used defensively while intangible, it couldn't phase and attack simultaneously.
But now?
He could distort space and attack while in intangible form.
That was a huge boost in both safety and lethality.
And perhaps most crucially,
Evolution was finally an option.
"So... I can evolve into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan now?"
Su Yang murmured.
That single thought sent a surge of excitement through him.
