However, from an angle he couldn't observe, after the triple-comma Sharingan solidified, it gradually resonated with his own bloodline. The inherited power of the Uchiha bloodline [Sharingan Heritage] slowly merged into the triple-comma Sharingan formed by his spiritual energy, blending with it and gradually altering the essence of his spiritual energy. At the same time, his meditation object became increasingly vivid and real.
The more vivid and lifelike it became, the stronger its resonance with the bloodline grew, letting more of its power flow into his spiritual Sharingan. This created a virtuous cycle that continued until the full bloodline power of Shiyu Uchiha was integrated into the Sharingan formed purely from spiritual energy.
The next day, when Shiyu Uchiha woke up, he could still feel a severe headache—but not as intense as he'd imagined. Later, recalling his gains, he realized it was because the meditation method had automatically operated during his sleep, restoring some spiritual energy and easing part of the pain.
Since it was still early, Shiyu Uchiha closed his eyes voluntarily to practice the meditation method. In deep meditation, he saw a giant triple-comma Sharingan, within which the three tomoe continuously rotated. However, these three tomoe were now extremely dim—mere shadows indicating his potential, yet not yet truly achieved.
As the triple-comma Sharingan kept spinning, Shiyu Uchiha's spiritual energy was gradually being restored, although quite slowly. Then he consciously activated the meditation method; instantly, the rotation speed of the triple-comma Sharingan increased significantly. By the time he needed to get up, his spirit had recovered considerably, and the headache had improved further.
At this moment, a realization struck him: perhaps he had already reached halfway toward awakening the eye. Although he hadn't gained dynamic vision yet, the foundational ability of his eyesight had been strengthened. He knew that once his spiritual energy accumulated sufficiently, combined with his bloodline power and channeled into the three tomoe, he would illuminate them one by one. With each lit tomoe, his Sharingan would evolve.
He felt that once all three tomoe were fully lit and reached their peak, he might be ready to awaken the Mangekyou. Yet there must be additional requirements—he just didn't understand those conditions yet. Only intense stimulation could lead him towards fulfilling them.
Three days later, Shiyu Uchiha's spiritual energy had fully restored to its original state—faster than expected. Originally, he assumed recovery would take at least a week. Moreover, his spiritual energy had become much more refined compared to before his coma.
Shiyu Uchiha thought about whether he should try the Extreme Training Method again in the future. But soon, he cast away this idea. He believed such training might damage his potential. It wasn't the right path—truthfully, the one he was on now probably wasn't either. Still, staying slightly closer to correctness might be better.
Shiyu Uchiha started investigating why his spiritual energy was recovering so quickly. He suspected it had something to do with his bloodline power merging into his Sharingan. This wasn't a recent realization—it was actually the core purpose behind forming his triple-comma Sharingan during meditation in the first place. His current methods, however, still couldn't detect this bloodline force.
As more and more bloodline power integrated into his spiritual-energy Sharingan, its changes became increasingly apparent. Eventually, the base of his triple-comma Sharingan began emitting a strange, eerie red glow—something Shiyu did not miss. This observation indirectly confirmed his hypothesis, although it was good news overall. Shiyu even took the opportunity to beat up Sarutobi Shin'nosuke as a way to celebrate.
Over the next few days, the changes gradually slowed down, and his spiritual-energy Sharingan stabilized. A few days later, all transformations ceased completely, signaling completion. However, while meditating through cultivation techniques, Shiyu noticed that his spiritual energy growth rate had increased several times over—and he sensed this improvement would grow further once he activated the tomoe within his eyes.
If nothing unexpected happened, he estimated it would take less than a year before he could activate the first tomoe.
From what he could sense, each of the three tomoe within his eye was identical with no distinctions between them. Combining this with knowledge about the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, activating any one of them would awaken the same ability first: Insight.
"As for Replication and Hypnosis," Shiyu mused, "could overlapping Insights transform? Maybe two combined become Replication, and three together become Hypnosis?" Still, verifying this would require testing after he awakened those powers.
Later, Shiyu stopped thinking too much about future matters and resumed practicing swordsmanship. Due to his recent breakthroughs, he had gained profound insights into both swordsmanship and Fire Release. Therefore, he had been progressing extremely fast lately, making time each day for extra practice whenever possible. Combined with his spiritual energy breakthroughs, his control over his body and technique improved greatly, boosting his training efficiency significantly.
Still, he only practiced sword techniques and Fire Release at home to avoid being seen from the outside—even though there wasn't much danger involved, better safe than sorry.
On one particular holiday, Shiyu brought along the two girls to their usual training ground, where Minato Namikaze had already been waiting for some time. During this period, the group often met here together. Although Minato learned [Crash Course on Swordsmanship] far later than the two girls did, he had already fully mastered all three moves and achieved considerable skill.
Moreover, Shiyu discovered that these three sword techniques harmonized remarkably well with Minato, surpassing even Shiyu's own compatibility. When combined with Minato's ultra-fast reflexes and incredibly agile movements, the effectiveness of these three sword techniques had already surpassed standard C-class level.
If Minato had more experience, he could probably refine them even further to fit his personal style perfectly. For now, both of them used these same three moves while sparring—countering each move with an appropriate response—each possessing distinct advantages.
Shiyu Uchiha had a strong foundation, and his sword techniques were executed with tight structure and stable stance—his blade calm yet sharp with brilliance.
Minato Namikaze fought with flexible moves and shifting forms. His speed was slightly faster than Shiyu's, though not enough to outpace Shiyu's blade. He was full of unpredictable variations that made defense nearly impossible.
As a result, during their sparring matches, the two often learned from each other, absorbing each other's strengths to improve their own weaknesses—which greatly accelerated their growth.
But today, Minato seemed off. After a clash, Shiyu seized the opening and ended the fight quickly. Watching from the side, Saya cheered enthusiastically for Shiyu.
Once the duel was over, Shiyu was about to ask Minato what was wrong when Minato beat him to it, saying, "Shiyu, I've got something to do tomorrow, so I won't be coming."
"Alright, hope everything goes smoothly." Shiyu understood the reason without needing further explanation. He could easily guess who was behind Minato's distraction—Kushina Uzumaki. He was even worried that if he asked, Minato might actually seek his advice, which would only make things worse.
Instead, he sat down and started thinking back over their earlier fight. Normally, Minato would have done the same, but his mood was different today. He simply sat aside lost in thought for a while, eventually unable to calm himself, before finally bidding Shiyu farewell and leaving.
After Minato left, the two girls curiously turned their gazes toward Shiyu. Shiyu naturally knew exactly what they were curious about. After all, the two never bothered hiding their emotions when they were around him. Before they could ask anything, however, Shiyu pretended to misunderstand their interest as questions about sword techniques.
This move earned him several exaggerated eye-rolls from the two girls, but Shiyu smoothly steered the conversation elsewhere. Soon, they began bombarding him with questions about swordsmanship—Minato had really lit a fire under them lately, and both were highly motivated to improve.
