As the Yin attribute chakra was absorbed and allocated by the system, Ryun Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan changed from white back to the six-tomoe wheel pattern Mangekyō, followed by a circle appearing that enclosed the six-tomoe wheel pattern Mangekyō.
Inside the mental space, the moment Ryun saw the countdown reach zero, his eyes flickered. Then he heard the system's voice.
"Ryun Uchiha, prepare to regain control of your body." As these words fell, Ryun closed his eyes, then opened them.
Outside.
Ryun Uchiha, lying on the bed, opened his eyes. Outside his wheel-pattern six-tomoe Mangekyō Sharingan, a closed circle had formed.
He sat up abruptly. Tobirama Senju, seeing this, withdrew his right hand and calmed the chakra within his body. He gave his brother Hashirama Senju a look. Hashirama understood and stepped out.
"You're awake, Ryun." Tobirama's lips curved upward. It was the first time he found an Uchiha so agreeable.
Ryun nodded. He already knew what Tobirama and Hashirama had done from within the mental space, but he still had to pretend in reality.
"Lord Second Hokage, how long was I unconscious?" Ryun let out a breath and moved his sore arms. He was just about to get out of bed when his legs gave way, causing him to kneel before Tobirama.
"...Lord Second Hokage, if I said I was giving you an early New Year's greeting, would you believe me?" Damn it, using Samsara had drained too much energy; his body was still somewhat depleted.
This caused Ryun to lose control of his body. Tobirama shook his head and sighed. "Ryun, I have some understanding of your physical condition. This is just muscle maladaptation after overexertion. You still need to rest more."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tsunade pushed the door open. "Ryun, Ryun, how are you?" Tsunade's voice was choked with tears. She had already cried once after waking up last night. Just now, when her grandpa told her Ryun was awake, she immediately rushed over.
The scene of Ryun kneeling on the ground due to exhaustion, with Second Hokage Tobirama Senju looking down at him with crossed arms, enraged Tsunade.
"Granduncle! Ryun just saved you! How could you take advantage of him when he's vulnerable!" Tsunade roared, throwing a punch that even created a sonic boom.
Tobirama's eyes widened. "Lightning Release Blast!" he exclaimed, quickly dodging to the side. "Tsuna, no, Tsunade, calm down! Your granduncle did not take advantage of him!"
Tsunade wasn't listening. She threw a mountain-shattering punch, a pain-inducing kick, and attacked with her monstrous strength towards Tobirama. Tobirama could only bitterly dodge and retreat without fighting back.
"Cough... cough... Tsunade, it's because I'm exhausted and can't control my muscles properly, which made you see that scene. It wasn't because Lord Second Hokage forced me," Ryun said weakly.
Hearing this, Tsunade finally stopped. She rushed to Ryun, picked him up in a princess carry, placed him on the bed, held his hand against her fair cheek, and knelt on one knee.
"Do you know how worried I was about you! Why did you have to push yourself so hard! Having you is enough for me!" Tsunade sobbed. Although reviving her grandpa and granduncle would make her happy, compared to Ryun's health, none of that mattered!
"Silly girl, don't cry." As he spoke, Ryun pinched her cheek. Tsunade snorted, then used her hand to pry open Ryun's left eye. She saw that the eye, which had looked like a blind person's yesterday, was now normal.
But thinking that this Mangekyō Sharingan was ruined made her want to cry. Why? So what if they died? There was no need to hurt yourself to revive them!
However, with Granduncle Tobirama present, some things she could only say in her heart.
Ryun sat up. He was deeply moved, seeing Tsunade cry like this for him. At the same time, he felt heartache. His thoughtless actions, though ultimately successful, had scared Tsunade half to death.
"Baby, I was reckless this time. I'm sorry," Ryun murmured, holding Tsunade's shoulders.
Tsunade had mostly calmed down, but hearing this, her tears burst forth again. "You can't do this again! Have you thought about what I would do if you died! You are the only man for me, Tsunade, in this lifetime. If you die, I'll die with you!"
Ryun rubbed his face against Tsunade's hair. "Actually, this time it was a blessing in disguise, Tsunade."
Tsunade didn't believe him. She snorted coldly. "You're lying to me. I've read many texts about the Mangekyō Sharingan, and even asked Grandpa Madara and Grandpa Izuna. When I asked them if your eyes had any possibility of recovery, neither of them replied!"
Ryun smiled wryly. "I'm telling the truth! Look!" After saying this, Ryun opened his left eye, revealing the six-tomoe wheel pattern Mangekyō enclosed by a closed circle.
This pattern confused Tsunade. Carefully sensing Ryun's current aura, although somewhat weak, she could clearly feel that the ocular power level of his left eye had increased by one level!
Tobirama frowned upon hearing this. "How is that possible? For the Mangekyō Sharingan to advance further, it requires a Mangekyō from the same source. In other words, you have no brothers. How was this achieved?"
Tsunade frowned, her favorability towards her granduncle dropping another notch. "Granduncle, what do you mean! Shouldn't you be happy that Ryun is better and his strength has improved?"
Tobirama sighed. "That's not what I meant!"
"Then what did you mean!" Tsunade snorted coldly! She couldn't be fierce with her grandpa, but Granduncle, whom Ryun didn't think much of before, she had no fondness for!
"I..." Tobirama couldn't explain. He was about to leave when he heard Ryun suddenly speak.
"Lord Second Hokage, everyone has their own secrets, don't they?"
Tobirama was stunned, then nodded and left the room. Wait, this was his house! He wanted to go back, but after a glance at Tsunade and Ryun, he ultimately sighed.
He might as well go out for a walk. Anyway, Ryun was saved. As for the increase in strength and the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, as he said, everyone has their own secrets. Why dig to the bottom of it?
He shook his head and turned to leave.
Inside the room.
Ryun held Tsunade. Tsunade leaned against his chest, listening carefully to his heartbeat, a smile on her lips. If only time could stop at this moment!
Tsunade thought, then shook her head. No, if it stopped at this time, there were still many things she hadn't done with Ryun yet.
They hadn't traveled to various countries together, hadn't vacationed together, hadn't yet...
Thinking of this, Tsunade's face flushed red. She looked at Ryun, her lips curving upward. I'll let you off for now!
She kissed Ryun on the cheek and smiled slightly. "I'll go make you something to eat!" After saying this, she got up and ran to the kitchen.
Ryun smiled, watching Tsunade's retreating figure, his heart filled with joy.
