Rasa's eyes lit up.
"Indra's Power?"
"This is no ordinary thing."
In this world, Indra possessed an extremely important presence.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo, also known as the Sage of Six Paths, had lived an ordinary life after he and his younger brother, Otsutsuki Hamura, completed the sealing of Otsutsuki Kaguya.
He took a wife and had children.
He had two sons.
One was named Indra, and the other was named Asura.
According to legend, Indra inherited Otsutsuki Hagoromo's Sage Eyes.
Asura inherited Otsutsuki Hagoromo's Sage Body.
Indra's descendants became the Uchiha clan, while Asura's descendants became the Senju clan, Uzumaki clan, and others.
The special nature of the Otsutsuki clan was greatly reflected in their eyes.
Byakugan, Rinnegan, Tenseigan, black eyes, Jogan…
A person could even possess several kinds at the same time and switch between them freely.
Just like Otsutsuki Urashiki.
He could freely switch between Byakugan and Rinnegan.
Different states granted different abilities.
The Sharingan, meanwhile, had an extremely close relationship with Indra.
"I already possess the Byakugan and a thirty-five-percent pure Otsutsuki bloodline. If I fuse with Indra's Power as well, what will happen?"
Rasa's thoughts stirred.
"Use it!"
Immediately afterward, Rasa felt it.
A strange power appeared out of nowhere inside his body. Then, it surged toward his eyes.
This power caused his eyes to slowly undergo a certain transformation.
A tomoe appeared over the Byakugan.
Then, that tomoe became two.
Three!
Rasa felt a subtle change in his vision.
He could capture the faintest movements to an extreme degree.
"Sharingan!"
"It started directly at the three-tomoe stage!"
Rasa removed his eyepatch and took out a mirror, looking at his own eyes in the reflection.
"Because of Indra's Power, I obtained the Sharingan."
"And because of my own strength, the moment I awakened the Sharingan, it directly reached the level of the three-tomoe Sharingan."
The appearance of the three-tomoe Sharingan made Rasa feel an increase in his ocular power.
And the increase in ocular power also brought a certain degree of improvement to other aspects.
"I wonder what the condition for me to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan will be."
Rasa's eyes flickered.
Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan because they witnessed the deaths of their comrades.
Uchiha Obito awakened his after seeing Nohara Rin's death.
Uchiha Shisui awakened his after seeing a teammate die.
Uchiha Itachi awakened his after seeing Uchiha Shisui's death.
"Witnessing death creates pain."
"But pain itself is not necessarily the trigger for awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan."
"Otherwise, Uchiha Sasuke would not have awakened only a single tomoe on the night of the massacre."
Rasa's thoughts stirred again.
Immediately, the three tomoe disappeared.
His eyes then returned to the state of the Byakugan.
"The current me can freely switch between the Byakugan and Sharingan."
"The Byakugan and Sharingan each have their own advantages."
"One is ultimate static vision. It can see far, see through objects, and observe three hundred and sixty degrees around me."
"The other is ultimate dynamic vision. It can capture the opponent's tiny movements, then predict their next move in advance and prepare ahead of time."
Suddenly, Rasa thought of something.
"Why can't I possess both at the same time?"
"I don't have only one eye. I have a pair."
"Can I keep one eye in the Byakugan state while keeping the other in the Sharingan state?"
"In that case, I can use both the Byakugan's advantages and the Sharingan's advantages."
Once Rasa had the idea, he immediately began attempting it.
Was it easy?
Not exactly.
Was it difficult?
Not truly.
Before long, Rasa found the key point.
The next moment, both of Rasa's eyes changed.
One became a three-tomoe Sharingan.
The other remained in the Byakugan state.
"The Byakugan can continue to be used in the form of the Byakugan Scouting Technique."
"As for the Sharingan, I should replace this eyepatch. For the Byakugan, it doesn't interfere much, but for the Sharingan, the interference is somewhat greater."
"It needs to conceal my Sharingan without affecting its vision. Neither material nor craftsmanship can be lacking."
Rasa looked toward the Puppet Department.
At this time, Chiyo was not in Sunagakure.
Sasori of the Red Sand had reportedly received some mission from the Akatsuki and could not be contacted for a long period of time.
Therefore, the best person Rasa could use for this work was only Akayama Ryo.
As a genius puppeteer, even though he had wasted many years because of the Akayama clan, after returning to this path, Akayama Ryo's progress could be called astonishingly fast.
Especially after Rasa assigned him the task of constructing the mechanical sand ships.
"Just in time. This draw also gave me a blueprint."
"Three-Zhang Bat Wings."
"A kind of mechanical beast with the ability to fly."
Rasa's eyes flickered.
"The ability to fly is still an enormous advantage in the current shinobi world."
"If Sunagakure has a large number of shinobi capable of flight, then when facing Konoha, we can adopt aerial raid tactics."
"Konoha shinobi will be unable to reach Sunagakure shinobi."
"Meanwhile, Sunagakure shinobi can drop ninja tools from the air."
"For example, things like fire oil."
"Once formed on a large scale, the destructive power will become even stronger."
When Akayama Ryo heard that Rasa had arrived, he hurriedly stopped his work and quickly came out to greet him.
"Kazekage-sama!"
Akayama Ryo respected Rasa from the bottom of his heart.
Rasa had suppressed that damned Akayama clan and had never been stingy toward him.
Not only had Akayama Ryo received the title of hero shinobi, but he had also obtained two puppets made from the corpses of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Now, he was also responsible for producing the mechanical sand ships.
It could be said that strength, reputation, status… he had gained them all.
And he could do the work he loved.
Akayama Ryo loved his current life far too much.
Compared to fighting, researching and crafting puppets made Akayama Ryo feel far happier.
"Ryo, how is the production of the mechanical sand ships going?"
"Kazekage-sama, our production efficiency has already improved greatly. We can now complete one mechanical sand ship in three days."
"You've done well."
Rasa did not hold back his praise.
"Ryo, your talent in puppetry is indeed quite remarkable."
"If only you had walked the correct path from the beginning."
"Our Sunagakure would have had another top-class genius puppeteer."
"You might not necessarily have been inferior to Sasori of the Red Sand."
