Chapter 55: Chapter 055: Gained the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan!
After leaving the [Mist Hidden Village], he quickly shook off the followers behind him.
Finding a secluded spot,
Shimoku, together with Riyō and the others, rapidly activated the [Flying Thunder God Technique].
In the blink of an eye, they covered thousands of kilometers and returned straight to Homura Hidden Village.
At this moment,
the superiority of the [Flying Thunder God Technique] became immediately apparent.
Being able to instantly teleport oneself and others through space, the convenience of being able to return home directly was simply amazing!
Once he traveled across the entire Ninja World and left more marks,
he would truly be free to wander wherever he pleased.
He could even indulge in some sneaky stunts...
What a brilliant idea!
Upon returning to the village, Shimoku first dismissed Riyō and the others.
They had gained quite a lot from this journey.
Just the mummy corpse alone should have brought them a small fortune; it was indeed time for them to go home and flaunt their gains.
After all, if he didn't let them properly show off their "gains,"
how could everyone understand the many benefits of tagging along with him on adventures?
How could more clansmen be encouraged to willingly join him on his journeys?
And how else could the glorious deeds from his travels spread rapidly?
It'd be awkward if he had to do the bragging himself.
That's just too awkward!
"Lord Shimoku, welcome back."
Soon after, behind Shimoku,
Nonou Yakushi, dressed as a nun and radiating a sacred aura, respectfully knelt and greeted him.
"Only you? Where's Kabuto?"
"That child is still helping out at the orphanage construction site…"
Shimoku: "That kid sure is dedicated."
Nonou: "Indeed. He probably wants to vent his anger and powerlessness by throwing himself into bricklaying…"
"Let him be." Shimoku nodded.
Truthfully, he was also curious to see
how far Kabuto, having abandoned hatred and no longer twisted in his heart, could reach with his talent.
"Alright, you may go as well."
"Oh, and prepare some lunch for me, please."
"As you wish!"
Letting out a soft sigh of relief, Nonou hurriedly excused herself.
At the same time, after dismissing everyone else,
Shimoku finally couldn't wait any longer and got straight to business.
He was finally ready to start redeeming points and spinning the gacha!
This trip outside had earned him a massive fortune.
Wasting time now would just be throwing away all those hard-earned coins!
...
First, Shimoku checked the 'ransom' he had rightfully acquired from Mist,
and converted everything into coins.
[Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained Value Points.]
[Would you like to recharge these Value Points to exchange for 3000 coins?]
[Recharge successful!]
[Message Appears on the Screen]: Congratulations, you earned 3,000 coins

Your Current Balance: Coins]
Wow, nearly eighteen thousand coins already!
And that's not even counting the proceeds from selling off those jewels and treasures through my Shipping Company, or the installment payments from Mist's ransom.
Before long, my coin balance might climb into the hundreds of millions!
Indeed, eliminating Gato and allying with Mist—this was an absolutely perfect decision!
Enough small talk. After confirming his available coins,
Shimoku immediately focused his consciousness into the System Store, browsing its available exchanges.
Items priced above 10,000 coins were considered high-end goods even within the System Store.
There were only about twenty such items.
Among them, there were four in particular that Shimoku had long been eager to acquire:
[Sage Body], [Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan], [Immortal God Body], and [Tailed Beast Form].
Each of them cost exactly 10,000 coins.
[Sage Body]: Grants the power of a perfect Sage physique, significantly increasing physical strength, regeneration, and chakra capacity, while also allowing mastery over senjutsu—extremely practical.
[Immortal God Body]: Grants an undying body. No matter what kind of damage is sustained, death will never occur. Similar to Hidan's immortality, but without many of its limitations—it won't die even without eating.
[Tailed Beast Form]: Allows one to abandon their physical form, beast-forming one's consciousness and chakra. Greatly increases chakra reserves and grants immunity to death. Just like other tailed beasts, even if destroyed, it can reconstitute itself given enough time.
Lastly, [Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan]: Needless to say, this offers ultimate ocular power, flawless eye techniques, and unparalleled strength—you deserve it!
In truth, long ago,
Shimoku had repeatedly compared and weighed the pros and cons of these four abilities.
Clearly, each ability came with its own advantages and disadvantages.
The [Sage Body] was indeed powerful, offering strong overall enhancement and practically perfection. But lacking immortality was a bit of a shame.
Though both [Immortal God Body] and [Tailed Beast Form] granted immortality, the former didn't provide much power boost, while the latter came with the drawback of being vulnerable to sealing and even capture by the Shinigami.
As for the [Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan], while it offered immense power growth just like the others, it lacked immortality too. However, it could greatly enhance one's natural talent and serve as the foundation for obtaining the [Rinnegan].
After all, its original price was several times higher.
It was only because I already possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan that it became significantly cheaper.
Inside the System Store,
[Sage Body] + [Wood Release] = coins
[Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan] + 8000 coins worth of [Nine-Tails Chakra] = coins
Evidently, the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan alone held more value than Sage Body and Wood Release combined.
Therefore...
After much hesitation,
Shimoku ultimately opted for the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan first.
After all, a profit margin of 5000 coins? That'd be foolish not to seize!
Besides, he'd already transplanted a portion of Hashirama's cells.
He basically had half of the Sage Body already.
Thus, once he obtained the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, he might even have the chance to awaken the Rinnegan?
Just like Lord Madara.
Wouldn't that be an incredible profit?
Therefore, he had to give it a try.
Of course, the reason he didn't choose to exchange for the Immortal God Body or Tailed Beast Form
was because Shimoku believed that once he possessed the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan,
there would hardly be anyone capable of instantly killing him.
However, if by any chance someone resurrected Madara or Hashirama — those two powerhouses — through Impure World Reincarnation or other means,
he would definitely prioritize considering how to exchange for immortality to ensure his survival first.
Soon enough.
Shimoku made the decision to exchange.
In the next moment, a full hundred million worth of ten thousand coins instantly vanished like snowflakes.
And activated by the System,
a vast torrent of ocular power surged into Shimoku's eyes.
Before long,
[Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan] successfully acquired!
