Their relationship had only just been confirmed.
Meeting parents was still far off.
So after half a day of strolling and a nice meal, Arata escorted her home.
At her doorstep, Yugao looked at him.
Her eyes seemed to hold countless unspoken words.
But instead of speaking, she tiptoed up and kissed him lightly.....
then turned and slipped into her home.
Arata watched her enter before walking back.
The third relocation group was fully prepared.
Tomorrow morning, they would gather in the Nanga Shrine, ready for him to transport them.
Thankfully, his eyes had evolved into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
Both chakra and ocular power far surpassed the version he used for the second group.
Otherwise, moving this many people might leave his eyes burning for half a day.
And this trip to Whirlpool Island served another purpose.....
harvesting a "fruit" he'd been cultivating:
Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyō abilities.
After so many days, Itachi should have fully adapted to his Mangekyō.
Its ocular techniques should have already formed.
It was time for Arata to copy them.
Itachi awakened his Mangekyō earlier than in the original timeline.
Would his abilities still be Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi?
Arata was eager to find out.
No matter what abilities Itachi awakened, he intended to take them all.
His Eternal Mangekyō still needed nourishment.....
before evolving into the legendary Rinnegan.
After returning home, Uchiha Arata didn't actually stay there.
He left behind a shadow clone to pretend he was resting, while his real body slipped quietly into the Takamagahara space. Only here could Arata fully relax.
After all, outside in the real world, there existed two extremely dangerous figures.....Uchiha Obito, who mastered space–time ninjutsu, and Kaguya's third son, Black Zetsu.
Both of them possessed the ability to approach someone undetected.
Even though Arata's spiritual perception was astonishingly sharp now, Black Zetsu, who had lived for a thousand years, and Obito, who inherited Uchiha Madara's legacy, were far from simple.
Who knew whether they had methods to bypass his senses? So, for the sake of absolute safety, Arata preferred to hide inside Takamagahara whenever he needed to rest.
To be honest, even last night, when he rested at home with Uzuki Yugao, he had remained fully alert and left two shadow clones outside as sentries.
In truth, if Arata could obtain the Uzumaki clan's innate sensory technique.....Kagura Mind's Eye.....he would no longer fear ambushes.
That technique was the pinnacle of sensory abilities, and what made it exceptional was that it was a passive skill.
If one wished, it could remain active indefinitely, consuming very little chakra and placing no burden on the user.
With it, Arata could instantly sense any presence approaching him, no matter how stealthy.
Arata naturally coveted the Uzumaki clan's bloodline.
But in order to copy a perfect version of that bloodline, he first needed Karin to fully recover her health.
Only then could he copy Karin's constitution, as well as the bloodlines of Karin's mother and Naruto, gaining the most complete form of the Uzumaki lineage.
It was just a pity that Uzumaki Kushina had died. He had no way of bringing her over now.
Otherwise, the Uzumaki bloodline he could obtain would have been even closer to perfection.
And even if he went through all the trouble of reviving Kushina someday, by the time he had the power to accomplish that, he would already be at the Six Paths level.....at which point bloodline enhancements would hardly matter.
After all, the people who passed down these bloodlines had only ever reached that level at best.
Even so, Arata still wanted to prepare the means to revive Kushina, just in case. One could never predict the future.
And of course, it definitely wasn't because he had any strange thoughts about her.....absolutely not.
He insisted it was purely for precaution.
Truthfully, if Arata were the type to indulge in depravity or disregard life, he could easily fill Takamagahara with dozens or even hundreds of people to serve him.
With his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, controlling ordinary people would be child's play.
But Arata's conscience wouldn't allow such things.
He had no intention of harming others for his own desires.
After returning to the villa within Takamagahara, Arata completely loosened up. He entered full salted-fish mode.
He brewed a pot of tea, made a fruit platter filled with fruits and nuts, and even used Wood Release to create a comfortable reclining chair.
He placed the recliner on the balcony, with a small table beside it holding snacks.
Then Arata lay down, sipping tea, nibbling on fruit, and leisurely reading the Uchiha clan's historical records as if they were a novel.
