Chapter 397 - NUCT: Chapter 397

Using the Coin of Fate to directly obtain the Infinity Technique?

Shinji thought it over for a long time and eventually decided against it.

He felt the chances of success would be far too low.

Unless he could somehow charm the Goddess of Luck herself and bend the odds entirely in his favor, there was no way such a wish would actually come true.

Still, he had already worked out how best to use the coin.

Even if he could not wish for the Infinity Technique directly, he could save it for the next time he obtained a new Cursed Technique.

Think of it this way: wishing for a free Ferrari out of nowhere is almost impossible.

But if you already have the chance to pick one car at random from a selection of ten high‑performance vehicles, and you simply wish to be allowed to choose the Ferrari specifically — that wish suddenly becomes much easier to grant.

In the long run, Shinji might eventually unlock the Infinity Technique through normal means, but there was no telling how long it would take, and opportunities to acquire new techniques were rare and valuable.

So he decided: the next time he gained a Cursed Technique, that was when he would spend the Coin of Fate.

Right now, there were only two ways to obtain a new technique:

1. The Lottery System: Collect enough fragments to combine into a full technique — but this required at least 50,000 Cursed Spirit Souls, and he only had around 10,000 left.

2. Raise Bond Level with Tobi: If he could push his bond rating with Tobi above 100, a new technique would be unlocked immediately.

The problem was that increasing Tobi's bond level was incredibly difficult.

Ever since the last bond‑related quest had appeared, progress had stalled completely, and no new missions had triggered.

This made Shinji suspect that he had to finish the previous task first before anything else could advance.

[Quest: Obito's Curiosity]

Objective: Give the Sharingan Phantom Soul to Obito and teach him its correct usage.

Reward: 20,000 Cursed Spirit Souls, Bond Level +100

Note: Hear that? Hand it over!

---

The reason he had put this off was simple: it felt like a terrible trade.

The value of the Sharingan Phantom Soul spoke for itself.

Even though the Uchiha clan was now reduced to only a handful of survivors, making its ability to boost Sharingan evolution less universally useful, it was still far from worthless.

Shinji had already used it to help Sasuke power his way up to the Mangekyō Sharingan, and Sasuke might yet have descendants in the future.

No one could guarantee that Obito would remain alone forever; Itachi was still alive, and Madara Uchiha was just waiting for the chance to be resurrected.

Now that the original timeline had been thrown into chaos, there was no telling whether the Uchiha line would continue to grow.

Even setting all that aside, the item itself could reflect Tsukuyomi, absorb Amaterasu, and shatter Susanoo — extremely useful in combat. Its only drawback was that it drew nearby Cursed Spirits toward the user.

If it were not for the inconvenience, Shinji would have carried it on his person at all times. Even if it only attracted a handful of low‑level spirits, it was still better than nothing.

On a side note, he had also underestimated the power of his Shadow Pocket.

It worked not only as a dimensional storage space, but also completely masked the presence of whatever was placed inside.

When the Sharingan Phantom Soul was stored there, its side effect of attracting Cursed Spirits vanished entirely.

The same went for the Magic Mirror. Truly worthy of being a rare cursed object dropped by a Special‑Grade Cursed Spirit — its ability to conceal aura was more valuable than its capacity to hold items.

After testing the effects of the Eyes of the Azure Sky, Shinji grew increasingly eager to make progress. At worst, it's just one Quest Difficulty Reduction Scroll. If I waste it, so be it.

He activated it immediately, applying it to [Quest: Obito's Curiosity].

And this was what happened next:

[Quest: Obito's Curiosity]

Objective: Lend the Sharingan Phantom Soul to Obito and teach him how to use part of its abilities.

Reward: 20,000 Cursed Spirit Souls, Bond Level +100

Note: Hear that? Hand it over!

---

Whoa!

Shinji's eyes went wide. He had not expected the change to be this drastic.

It was not just reducing difficulty — it had completely rewritten the terms. From "give" to "lend." The meaning had shifted entirely.

Even if "lend" usually turned into "give" in practice, as long as he had a thick enough skin and a few tricks up his sleeve, he could still take it back later.

In the original version, once he handed it over, it would have been awkward to ask for it back.

And now that it only required teaching part of its abilities, he had even more room to maneuver.

He could easily withhold the most critical functions and only explain the less important ones.

Quest Difficulty Reduction Scrolls are truly the best thing ever!

He would definitely need to collect more of them whenever possible.

As soon as Shinji finished testing his new eyes, Hidan — already burning with envy — could no longer hold back. "What exactly are those eyes?"

Shinji cleared his throat. "This is the bloodline limit bestowed upon me by the Evil God — the Eyes of the Azure Sky."

Sounds good enough for me, Evil God System!

The name "Six Eyes" did not sound impressive enough, so he had chosen its more poetic title instead. Eyes of the Azure Sky — it sounded far more imposing.

As expected, everyone stared in awe.

Eyes of the Azure Sky?

No one recognized it, but it sounded powerful.

Tobi was racking his brain, yet could not recall any bloodline limit bearing that name.

"Am I just not well‑informed enough? I'll have to send Zetsu to gather intelligence on these eyes."

He then asked in his usual playful tone: "Wow — that sounds amazing! Are they stronger than Sasuke's Sharingan?"

"They each have their strengths," Shinji replied.

If the true power of the Sharingan lies in evolving through stages, then the true power of the Eyes of the Azure Sky requires being paired with another technique granted by the Evil God.

"Until then, all they can do is offer 360‑degree vision without blind spots, see through solid objects and living bodies, read enemy techniques, track and even predict the flow of chakra… and a few other little things like that."

Shinji delivered the description with a perfectly modest air.

To Tobi, however, it sounded exactly like the abilities of the Byakugan.

So if the Byakugan works in tandem with Gentle Fist, what does the Eyes of the Azure Sky work with?

And what does he mean by needing another technique to unlock its full power?

The more he thought, the more confused he became.

Damn it — you call yourself the Evil God? If you're real, come out and show yourself!
