Chapter 213: Eternal Mangekyo
Inside the mental space, Alex stared blankly at himself in the mirror.
It was essentially a male version of Konan. This was understandable. After all, he was originally a piece of paper on Konan's person. His chakra was identical to hers, so sharing a similar facial structure made sense.
At least the gender was different.
Alex chuckled and looked around.
"White and empty... it's too monotonous..."
In his own mental space, he felt omnipotent. It seemed he could manifest anything with spiritual energy.
Whoosh!
With just a thought, the surrounding scenery changed instantly. Sofas, tables, chairs, a soft bed—ridiculously, even a computer and TV appeared. It was a completely modern-style room.
Alex sat in the gaming chair and tried playing a few computer games, shaking his head with a laugh. "Heh, I can't believe I can actually play..."
He became the supreme rule within the game, controlling the bots and arbitrarily adjusting various parameters and levels.
"Boring..."
After playing for a while, he felt listless. Before transmigrating, he wasn't addicted to games, but he had enjoyed them. Now, playing them brought no excitement or fun. Perhaps it was the effect of crossing over, or maybe playing alone against bots he controlled was simply meaningless.
Alex stood up.
The room vanished, replaced by an endless ocean. Waves crashed ceaselessly against a golden beach. The weather was sunny, with a gentle breeze—very pleasant.
The knowledge from the Black Fragment allowed him to manipulate spiritual power with ease. In his own mental world, he truly felt like a god creating all things, capable of anything.
Alex looked at his hands.
"A body, long time no see..."
Previously, it was just a hypothesis that he could regain a human form once Konan achieved the Kekkei Mora. He hadn't been sure. But relying on his significantly enhanced spiritual power, combined with the power of the Kekkei Mora Konan would gain after eating the Chakra Fruit, he was now fully confident he could recover his human body.
It wouldn't take too long.
Alex glanced at the sea surface and exited the mental space.
Although he had spent a long time inside, only an instant had passed in the outside world. His paper body was still wrapped around the white crystal. That brief moment had allowed him to absorb more than half of the pure spiritual power.
Continuing to absorb it would only expand his mental space. Cultivating the secret technique from the Black Fragment would achieve the same result. Konan needed the remaining spirit crystal more than he did.
"Konan." Alex flew to her forehead and pressed the white crystal against her brow. "Close your eyes and absorb the spiritual power inside with all your might."
Konan did as asked. If Alex said so, it naturally meant it was good for her.
The white crystal shrank visibly until it disappeared.
Konan absorbed all the pure spiritual energy, greatly strengthening her spiritual power, and... her Yin Release!
She felt a sudden sensation of coolness and clarity in her eyes. The moment she opened them, a red light flashed. She had unconsciously activated her Mangekyo Sharingan.
Compared to before, three additional petals appeared in the purple hydrangea pattern.
It had become the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan!
Alex examined Konan's eyes and said happily, "Just as I thought. The Sharingan is the ultimate expression of Yin Release, and Yin Release is the manifestation of spiritual power. As long as you possess sufficiently strong spiritual power, it's enough to evolve your ordinary Mangekyo into the Eternal Mangekyo!"
Even with Konan's current constitution, using the ordinary Mangekyo wouldn't cause blindness. However, the eye power and insight were qualitatively different from the Eternal Mangekyo. Nor could she use the Complete Body Susanoo before.
Konan looked around, familiarizing herself with the Eternal Mangekyo, then deactivated it. She smiled faintly. "I didn't expect such a harvest from finding Jashin."
It was a pleasant surprise. More importantly, she could sense that Alex's harvest was even greater than hers. The spiritual energy on his paper body felt as if it were overflowing.
Alex looked left and right. "Jashin is dead. This dimension will collapse soon. Let's leave."
With that, he crawled back onto Konan's shoulder.
They flew out of the dimension and exited the cave. Without pausing, they rushed toward their original destination—the battlefield of the Fourth Great Ninja War.
Although the war dragged on in the anime, in reality, it would end in two or three days.
By now, the Allied Shinobi Forces had mostly arrived at their respective battlefields. Kabuto's Reanimated Army and the hundred thousand White Zetsu clones were engaging the Alliance.
High in the sky, Konan watched the battle below with indifference.
This was the Fourth Division, the battlefield under Gaara's command. It wasn't far from the final battle location. They were fighting fiercely against the reanimated Kage—the Second Tsuchikage, Third Raikage, and others summoned by Kabuto.
"Oho..." Alex looked at the golden figure flashing rapidly across the battlefield. "Naruto arrived surprisingly fast this time..."
It seemed the plot had changed a bit. His training on Turtle Island must have gone more smoothly. After mastering the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, he hadn't been stopped but was sent directly to the battlefield.
With his negative emotion sensing, the White Zetsu's strategy of disguising themselves to sow discord and assassinate the Alliance members was exposed by Naruto's mass shadow clones before it could fully unfold.
"Perhaps the duration of this war will be even shorter..."
Alex watched the battle below with relish. It was a real-life god's-eye view, far more satisfying than watching anime on a computer screen back in the day.
Thump-thump!
Konan's eyes suddenly trembled. Another fetal movement.
This was the sixth time. The fifth had occurred inside Jashin's dimension. He hadn't expected the sixth to come so quickly.
"It seems the Tenseigan is about to awaken..." Alex said expectantly, gazing at the increasingly brilliant blue starlight in Konan's pure white pupils. "Konan, how does it feel?"
Konan adapted slightly before deactivating the Byakugan. "The amplification of eye power is greater than the previous times. I can feel a terrifying power brewing within my eyes."
Alex spoke lightly, "The seventh movement won't be too far off. The Tenseigan will inevitably open fully during the war."
"Let's go to the main battlefield." He glanced down. The fighting here was what it was. Even if Madara was reanimated and fought the Five Kage, the outcome wouldn't change much. Eventually, Madara would regroup with Obito.
He had already sensed the chakra of Obito and the real Naruto clashing intensely at the main battlefield several hundred kilometers away.
