"Swish—"
Inside the room,
Ren's figure gradually materialized.
Looking at the person who had suddenly appeared in front of him—despite clearly having been standing there the entire time—
the Wood Clone was astonished.
"I can see your existence," it said thoughtfully.
"But I can't touch you."
"And yet, just now, you were clearly able to touch me…"
It stared at its original body with curiosity.
"Is it a space–time dōjutsu like Kamui?"
"Close."
Ren smiled lightly.
"But rather than Kamui, it's actually more similar to Limbo: Border Jail."
"Although in a certain sense, it can still be considered a space–time dōjutsu."
"Limbo?"
The Wood Clone looked shocked.
"That's a Rinnegan-level technique…"
"Even though your ocular power is already far beyond ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan, you still don't even have Eternal Mangekyō yet, right?"
"Dōjutsu: Ōanamuchi."
Ren revealed the name of his technique without suspense.
"This is the eye technique born from my Mangekyō Sharingan."
Like Obito's Kamui,
both of Ren's eyes possessed the same ability—
but manifested differently.
"Ōanamuchi allows me to open a parallel dimension called Yomotsu World."
Ren crossed his arms and continued.
"I can place myself within that world, allowing my body to appear partially or completely invisible in reality."
"While inside it, I can ignore any attack."
"That's basically Kamui's intangibility."
The Wood Clone raised an eyebrow.
At first glance, it almost sounded weaker than Kamui.
But based on what it had just witnessed, that clearly wasn't the whole story.
"Of course there's more."
Ren smiled.
"The truly broken part is that, like Madara's Limbo, I can attack from that parallel dimension."
"And those attacks are completely invisible."
Indeed, the Mangekyō Sharingan was truly a mirror of the heart.
This power reflected the abyss-like ambition buried deep within Ren.
Of course,
it wasn't without limits.
For now,
he could only remain inside the Yomotsu World for up to ten minutes.
And unlike Limbo clones—which ordinary people couldn't sense at all—
Ren's presence inside the parallel space could still be seen by powerful dōjutsu like the Sharingan or Byakugan.
Moreover,
since he couldn't yet perfectly conceal his chakra like the Second Tsuchikage Mū,
some sensory-type ninja might still detect him.
However—
as long as he remained inside the Yomotsu World,
all attacks from reality would be completely ineffective.
So while it might look like a weaker version of Limbo,
it also possessed unique advantages.
Madara's Limbo was powerful,
but Madara himself couldn't enter the Limbo world.
He could only control shadow clones inside it.
If he encountered danger,
he could swap positions with the clone to avoid death—
but it still carried considerable risk.
Ren, however,
was effectively in a state of invincibility.
And he could still launch attacks from the Yomotsu World.
"So it's basically a fusion of Kamui and Limbo abilities."
The Wood Clone nodded in realization.
"Even if it's not as powerful as the full versions, it has natural advantages."
"Exactly."
Overall,
whether or not it could truly match Madara's Limbo: Border Jail—
for a Mangekyō-level dōjutsu,
this level of power already satisfied Ren greatly.
"But what I'm really curious about…"
Ren's eyes burned with anticipation.
"…is what kind of ability Uchiha Fugaku's Mangekyō possesses."
He looked toward the pair of Mangekyō Sharingan that he had yet to devour.
For now,
even if Ren devoured another ninja's corpse,
he couldn't obtain their memories or techniques.
Unless in the future he developed a forbidden technique—
combining his devouring ability with methods that could extract memories or steal jutsu.
That wasn't impossible.
After all,
the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques could already read memories directly from corpses.
But for Ren,
that was something for the future.
However,
the Sharingan were different.
Since he already possessed Sharingan himself,
there was a good chance that using the mutated power of the Mori Mori Fruit,
he could devour Fugaku's Mangekyō power—
and obtain its unique ability.
"Swish! Swish!"
Two of his fingers transformed into vines.
They shot forward instantly,
piercing the pair of bloody eyeballs.
"Whoosh—"
A tremendous amount of chakra and ocular power surged into Ren's body.
His Mangekyō Sharingan began absorbing and merging the power.
The strange Mangekyō pattern spun rapidly.
But when Fugaku's Mangekyō Sharingan shriveled—
and finally turned to ash—
Ren's eyes showed no new pattern.
Nothing changed.
"Did it fail?"
The Wood Clone asked in surprise.
"No."
Ren clenched his fists.
Feeling the unprecedented surge of ocular power,
a thrilled smile spread across his face.
"It succeeded."
"My eyes have now reached the level of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan."
"Even without my perfect Yang Release, they won't go blind from overuse."
"As for why the pattern didn't change…"
"It's probably because I didn't directly transplant Fugaku's eyes."
"But it doesn't matter."
