The feeling of enlightenment came again. Unlike the last time, this experience lasted longer, as he had directly obtained 40% of Uchiha Itachi's strength.
Half an hour later, Qin Yu looked at the charred beef, his expression gradually twisting. To be precise, it couldn't be called charred anymore; in a moment, it would probably turn into charcoal.
"After 40%, each time I consume the Marrow Cleansing Fruit, I can only gain 10% of Uchiha Itachi's power. Indeed, it's very difficult to achieve rapid advancement."
He tossed the charcoal beef aside. Qin Yu took out a large piece of beef from his Storage Space and began to grill it, using a Kunai to cut it.
While grilling, Qin Yu checked some prompts he hadn't noticed earlier.
His gaze fell upon the first one, and a blue screen directly appeared.
[Prompt: Kunai Master has successfully advanced. Please select a master-level skill bonus.]
A: Precision; Kunai hit rate increased by 50%
B: Reverse Feather; Kunai with 10% bleeding effect (Rare Ability)
C: Bat Wings; Kunai will be untraceable (Rare Ability)
Looking at the light screen in front of him, Qin Yu's expression changed slightly. These things didn't seem to be something Uchiha Itachi inherently possessed!
Although Uchiha Itachi's kunai hit rate was very high before, when attacking moving targets, no one could hit every time. After all, when a ninja's speed reached its limit, it was difficult to even see them, let alone hit them with a kunai.
However, now wasn't the time to dwell on whether this was Uchiha Itachi's own strength. The problem now was to quickly make a choice.
Otherwise, the beef would be burnt again. Option A was undoubtedly strong, as it directly increased the hit rate. However, Uchiha Itachi's kunai hit rate was already extremely high, and he could basically hit whatever he aimed at.
Option B would undoubtedly be more suitable for ninjas, because it increased the bleeding damage, which was not to be trifled with... But if he chose option B, the battle would lean towards the kunai, and firepower would be justice. The more kunai thrown, the higher the damage to the enemy.
Looking at the ten remaining kunai in his Storage Space, Qin Yu decisively chose option C. Option B was undoubtedly more suitable for large-scale team battles, meaning war.
But in the current ninja world, there wouldn't be any large-scale wars. Besides, Qin Yu couldn't obtain a large number of kunai! He couldn't possibly throw his kunai out during a battle and then use the Body Flicker Technique to pick them up, could he?
A strange sensation exploded in Qin Yu's mind, followed by a flood of incredibly mysterious information.
It took Qin Yu a full twenty minutes to completely digest this information, meaning the beef he'd just prepared had turned to charcoal.
[Kunai Master LV.1; Kunai/Shuriken Attack Power +64%; Attached Ability: Bat Wings]
With the prompt appearing, Qin Yu's eyes immediately brightened. He reached out and took a kunai, instinctively throwing it with his right hand.
A few seconds later, the kunai landed steadily in the dirt beside Qin Yu. Above the kunai, several leaves were neatly impaled.
"Indeed..."
When he saw Bat Wings, Qin Yu thought of a hidden weapon technique from the Tang Clan of his past life, called Bat Wing Reincarnation. After the recent experiment, it could basically be confirmed that this was the hidden weapon technique, Bat Wing Reincarnation.
With the Bat Wing Reincarnation technique, Qin Yu's kunai skills would definitely improve dramatically. Putting aside other factors, he would certainly be stronger than Uchiha Itachi himself.
After all, Uchiha Itachi didn't have any additional abilities from the system's rewards. Qin Yu had a feeling that Uchiha Itachi's Kunai skills couldn't improve any further. Oh, no, to be precise, after consuming the Marrow Cleansing Fruit, the Kunai Master skill probably wouldn't be able to level up again.
This might already be the limit of Uchiha Itachi's Kunai techniques. As for how to improve further, it would depend on Qin Yu himself.
"Damn it!"
Qin Yu glanced down at the beef, which had turned into charcoal again. He didn't try again this time. After all, there was also Genjutsu Master, a skill that had also evolved to the master level. It seemed like it would take a long time again.
He turned his gaze to the second prompt, and the same options reappeared.
[Prompt: Genjutsu Master has successfully advanced. Please select a master-level additional ability.]
A: Nightmare; Genjutsu comes with a fear effect. B: Truth; The misleading nature of Genjutsu increases by 50%. C: Breaking Illusion; Immunity to Genjutsu of the same level (increases with the Genjutsu Master level).
Note: All three additional abilities above are rare abilities.
A familiar choice appeared. Compared to the options for the Kunai Master's additional abilities, this choice was even more difficult. Both effects were terrifying.
The illusion came with an inherent fear effect. Anyone caught in the illusion would fall into terror, which was truly frightening. The increased deceptiveness of the illusion was also almost unbeatable.
As for the final option, Breaking Illusion, wasn't that a straight-up cheat? Directly immune to illusions. If Qin Yu's body wasn't Uchiha, he would definitely choose Breaking Illusion.
The Uchiha clan's Sharingan was already the nemesis of illusions, so Breaking Illusion was immediately ruled out. Among the remaining options, fear wasn't very meaningful. This body belonged to Uchiha Itachi.
Afterward, gaining Tsukuyomi was a sure thing. Once hit by Tsukuyomi, it would be practically impossible to regain fighting ability, as Hatake Kakashi could attest.
So, Qin Yu chose Truth, increasing the deceptiveness of illusions by 50%. Uchiha Itachi was already one of the best genjutsu users in the world of Naruto. Now, with a 50% increase in the deceptiveness of his illusions, Qin Yu's skill in genjutsu would undoubtedly reach its peak.
[Genjutsu Master LV.5; Mental pressure caused by illusions increased by 80%; Attached ability: Truth]
A concise prompt appeared, leaving Qin Yu somewhat bewildered. The Genjutsu upgrade this time had only lasted a few seconds, which was truly child's play compared to the twenty minutes brought about by Bat Wing Reincarnation.
He glanced down at the campfire and ultimately decided to directly check the remaining information.
Most of the information was trivial matters. Well... most of the prompts were skill values, and only the last prompt was the focus.
[Sharingan LV.8 (Mangekyo Sharingan)] Vision Enhancement: 80% Genjutsu Enhancement: 80% Nerve Reflex Speed Enhancement: 10% (Mangekyo Awakening Ability) Secret Technique: Tsukuyomi (Locked) Secret Technique: Amaterasu (Locked) Ultimate Secret Technique: Susanoo (Locked)
Qin Yu, who had been brimming with confidence, immediately stiffened when he saw the information that appeared before him. Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan had awakened, but not completely.
The Mangekyo Sharingan was present, but the innate power of the Mangekyo Sharingan hadn't awakened.
Oh ho (づ●─●)づ
