"Amaterasu!"
Takuno was startled by the Shadow Clone and the 'unfamiliar' environment, and instantly wanted to use his Mangekyo Sharingan's ability.
However, the Amaterasu flames he imagined did not appear on the Shadow Clone.
Takuno also froze for a moment, then a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes as he clutched his forehead, sorting through the extra thoughts.
"Are you trying to kill me?" the Shadow Clone asked with a hint of amusement.
Although all his memories would return to the main body upon dispelling, he was an independent entity with his own thoughts when he was created.
Joking like this, a hint of solemnity also appeared in the Shadow Clone's eyes. It seemed that the side effects of this Sealing Jutsu, which assisted in awakening the eye, were indeed quite significant.
Takuno just closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead, not replying. After a long while, he calmed down and said, "It's just that the impact of the original memories was a bit strong the moment I woke up."
Compared to the other test subjects, he was undoubtedly much better off.
Because he had the experimental process in his memory and knew the content of the illusionary realms he would experience later, it was easier for him to break free from them.
But even so, it was impossible to be completely unaffected.
"Since the main body has woken up, shall I dispel?" the Shadow Clone asked.
"Wait a moment," Takuno said, taking a deep breath, then took out a blank scroll and began writing on it.
The Shadow Clone watched this scene with a bit of curiosity, but since he would know everything once he dispelled, there was no need to rush to look.
After Takuno finished writing everything, he frowned, seemingly wondering if he had missed any issues.
After a long time, he handed the scroll to the Shadow Clone and said, "Give this to me later."
The Shadow Clone was stunned for a moment, then saw the main body expressionlessly begin to set up a Sealing Jutsu.
He naturally recognized this Sealing Jutsu. This was... a memory sealing Sealing Jutsu?
Did the main body want to seal all memories related to the illusionary realm again?
The Shadow Clone's pupils contracted, and he began to ponder.
Indeed, the Sharingan had evolved. Although the result was not ideal, the memories of that illusionary realm should now be useless.
As Takuno was engraving the Sealing Jutsu, his eyes were cold, devoid of any emotion.
Since the extra memories had already affected him, even if they were his own memories, what needed to be sealed, needed to be sealed.
Sealing alone might not be enough; he would also need to consider solutions later.
However, those issues would be left to his future self after the memory seal, not for him to consider now.
Soon, Takuno finished setting up the Sealing Jutsu. Looking at it, a faint resistance seemed to stir in his mind, perhaps the influence of those extra memories.
Unfortunately, the opposing voice was too faint to hinder his actions, and he quickly activated the memory seal.
The incantation instantly flashed, and streams of incantations surged into Takuno's body, finally disappearing deep within his mind.
When Takuno opened his eyes again, a hint of bewilderment appeared in them, which quickly returned to his usual calm.
He looked at the experimental pod. Since the experiment was complete, he was next.
At this time, the Shadow Clone said nothing. Under Takuno's bewildered gaze, he handed him a scroll, then dispelled himself, transmitting his memories to Takuno.
"Hmm? I've already completed the experiment?" Takuno, holding the scroll after receiving the Shadow Clone's memories, also frowned.
It actually required using a memory seal to completely seal the memories of that illusionary realm?
Since his past self made such a judgment, it proved that those memories would have some influence on him if not sealed.
Takuno walked to the mirror, looking at his own calm, unruffled eyes in the reflection.
At this moment, the Chakra within his body surged into his eyes, and his originally dark pupils turned blood-red, with two tomoe appearing in his eyes.
Looking at these two tomoe, Takuno was somewhat silent.
Only two tomoe were awakened?
Sasuke had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. Even if their emotional fluctuations were not on the same level, Takuno originally thought he could awaken the Three Tomoe with it.
Unexpectedly, it was only two tomoe.
Takuno rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache. This awakening was completely below his expectations.
Of course, it wasn't entirely bad. At least it proved that this device could assist him in awakening his eyes. Although only two tomoe were awakened this time, what about next time?
There were many more things he could simulate in his memory: Kakashi, Obito, and even... other somewhat depressing yet healing anime, like Akame ga Kill, and so on... As long as the quantity was sufficient, he didn't believe he couldn't awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan!
So now, let's see what information his pre-memory-seal self left for his current self.
Takuno opened the scroll.
First point.
'The illusionary realm is just an illusionary realm. It has some use, but it's very limited. My actions and thoughts in the illusionary realm were completely different from the real Sasuke, but the device lacked a deduction function, leading to limitations in my actions within the illusionary realm.
My self in the illusionary realm also discovered problems, even suspecting that this life was just an illusionary realm, or that I was just an NPC, and similar conjectures.'
Takuno looked at this point. Even when immersed in the illusionary realm, he still didn't possess Sasuke's emotions, and his own emotions were so indifferent, plus he discovered bugs in the illusionary realm world.
No wonder his eye-awakening effect was so poor.
To solve this, it seemed only possible to set some key nodes and constantly deduce the subsequent process to be effective... But the problem was, the difficulty of researching a Sealing Jutsu that could constantly deduce the future was self-evident. At least he had no clue right now. Did he have to create an Infinite Tsukuyomi?
He couldn't even awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan now, and it wasn't certain if his ability was Tsukuyomi. Wanting an Infinite Tsukuyomi was just a pipe dream.
Takuno rubbed his temples. However, this problem had been speculated before. After all, no matter how familiar he was, he couldn't simulate Sasuke's complete life, nor could he change his own thoughts to be the same as the other party's... Then he looked at the second point.
'My self in the illusionary realm also had independent growth. Although I didn't grow into another Sasuke, my personality also had some differences from reality, so I also had some influence on my real-world personality.
Even if memory sealing has been done in reality, personality is a difficult thing to study, and it's likely to have changed after coming out of the device. Memory sealing is just locking the stable door after the horse has bolted.'
