Ryosuke took a moment to summarize everything.
The three talent attributes he'd extracted from Uchiha Sasuke had granted him:
Tenfold chakra training efficiency, fivefold ninjutsu power, Uchiha bloodline, tenfold Sharingan awakening efficiency, elevenfold eye power, fivefold Susanoo size, fivefold eye technique power, and tenfold chakra reserves.
The Child of Destiny attribute worked differently.
Its primary function activated when facing lethal damage: boosting all aspects of his strength fivefold. The secondary effect didn't benefit Ryosuke directly; instead, it cursed his enemies with catastrophic bad luck. Tripping over nothing, stepping in dog crap, choking on their own spit—standard fare for anyone unfortunate enough to cross him.
Overall, it didn't provide the same immediate, tangible boost as the three attributes he'd just acquired.
But even so, a comprehensive fivefold increase in strength was absurd.
And as for whether it could only activate during genuine life-or-death situations?
Ryosuke glanced down at an ant crawling across the ground.
'What if this ant bites me… and it's carrying some deadly virus? Wouldn't I be doomed?!'
He turned the thought over in his mind, half-joking, half-curious.
WHOOSH!
The next second, he felt a surge of power erupt from nowhere and flood through his entire body!
His physical fitness skyrocketed several times over. Even the pitifully small amount of chakra in his body—barely enough to qualify as a student—exploded in volume.
"It actually works!"
Ryosuke's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but grin.
So that's how it functioned.
The system determined "mortal danger" based on his subjective perception. If he genuinely believed something could kill him—no matter how ridiculous—the Child of Destiny attribute would activate.
He'd deliberately convinced himself that a harmless ant posed a lethal threat.
And it worked.
Fivefold boost across the board.
Originally, Ryosuke's strength hadn't even reached Genin level. But now? With this fivefold multiplier active?
Beating a Genin would be like a father disciplining his son, so effortless.
And that was without knowing any proper ninjutsu or having decent taijutsu skills.
Once he properly trained in a few techniques and successfully awakened his Sharingan using his talent attributes? His strength would multiply several times over from where it stood now.
After finishing his lunchbox, Ryosuke found a quiet, secluded spot to sit down and rest.
With lunch break still ongoing, he decided there was no better time than now.
Time to awaken the Sharingan.
For most Uchiha, awakening the Sharingan was an ordeal—a traumatic, soul-crushing experience that required intense emotional shock.
But for Ryosuke, who possessed the Cursed Eyes talent attribute?
It was as easy as breathing.
After confirming no one was nearby, Ryosuke closed his eyes and began recalling various tragic stories—heart-wrenching novels, tear-jerking movies, devastating scenes from his past life.
As the memories flooded back, tears began streaming down his face.
Beneath his closed eyelids, his pupils gradually shifted to a deep crimson. A single black tomoe began forming, rotating slowly as it solidified.
One minute later—
Ryosuke stopped and reached up to touch his eyes.
They felt cool, as if some kind of energy was gathering within them.
This must be eye power.
Contrary to popular belief, eye power didn't only appear after awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan. In truth, it manifested the moment the Sharingan first awakened.
However, compared to the Mangekyou, even the three-tomoe Sharingan possessed minuscule amounts of eye power.
Nothing comparable at all.
But right now, Ryosuke could clearly feel his eye power.
That was because he had two talent attributes boosting his reserves elevenfold—making the sensation far more pronounced than it would be for any normal Uchiha.
"Single tomoe?"
"Not enough."
Ryosuke pulled out a small mirror and examined his newly awakened Sharingan.
One minute.
Single tomoe unlocked.
Isn't that better than Emo-kun's entire family getting slaughtered just to unlock one tomoe?
Jokes aside, Sasuke's potential was undeniably strong.
And considering that Sasuke had provided him with three gold-tier talent attributes, Ryosuke was willing to overlook all those infamous moments where the kid tried to show off and got utterly humiliated instead.
"Let's keep going."
Ryosuke put away the mirror, closed his eyes again, and delved even deeper into his memories.
A graceful figure in green beneath the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation…
A descendant of Nuwa lying on the verge of death before the Water Demon Beast…
A woman in white, collapsed on barren ground…
Images flashed through his mind one after another.
Beneath his eyelids, the black tomoe spun wildly!
Soon it evolved from one tomoe to two.
Then—
The rotation gradually slowed.
A faint outline of a third tomoe began forming… but ultimately failed to solidify. It faded away as the spinning stopped.
Two minutes.
Ryosuke silently calculated the time in his head before pulling out the mirror again.
Both eyes displayed perfect two-tomoe Sharingan.
No asymmetry. No developmental issues like one eye stuck at single tomoe while the other progressed faster.
"Two tomoe in three minutes total—not bad at all."
A satisfied smile tugged at Ryosuke's lips.
Having successfully awakened his Sharingan and unlocked two tomoe, Ryosuke's strength had increased dramatically.
First: Chakra.
The chakra reserves of an Uchiha were directly tied to the number of tomoe in their Sharingan.
Of course, those who'd gone blind from overuse were exceptions.
But generally speaking—awakening single tomoe put you among elite Genin. Awakening two tomoe placed you among elite Chunin. And awakening three tomoe? Almost guaranteed you'd reach elite Jonin level.
By successfully unlocking two tomoe, Ryosuke's chakra reserves had skyrocketed from far below Genin level to nearly matching a Chunin.
Add in the tenfold multiplier from his attributes?
His chakra reserves now far exceeded most Chunin—approaching the level of a Jonin!
In numerical terms? Approximately 0.8 Kakashi.
Although Kakashi Hatake was an elite Jonin, his Sharingan acted as a constant drain—perpetually siphoning away a portion of his chakra reserves.
As a result, Kakashi had always struggled with low chakra.
0.8 Kakashi was roughly equivalent to standard Jonin-level reserves.
One full Kakashi was the baseline chakra amount for a typical Jonin.
Without the Sharingan's influence draining him constantly, Kakashi's reserves wouldn't be so pathetically low. The Sharingan was both his greatest strength—and his greatest weakness.
But it had been a gift from Obito Uchiha "before his death."
And Kakashi would never remove that eye.
