Chapter 82: The Perfect Ninja With No Blind Spots
When Yuma saw Obito and Shisui staring at him with eager eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
They were clearly curious about his strength, but explaining it to them was difficult—his power had already surpassed the realm they could comprehend.
However, seeing the anticipation in their eyes, Yuma didn't want to disappoint them. Stroking his chin, he pondered for a moment before saying,
"It's hard to put into words, but... you're both familiar with the Valley of the End, right?"
"Of course!" Shisui's expression lit up as he took a step forward and responded enthusiastically. "Those two enormous statues are of the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, and..."
He hesitated for a moment, touching his head, before continuing with a more subdued tone,
"...our former clan leader, Uchiha Madara, the first and last rogue ninja of Konoha."
Shisui's tone noticeably shifted when mentioning Uchiha Madara. After all, Madara's betrayal was a sensitive subject for the Uchiha clan—it was not something to be proud of.
Konoha's leadership had never hidden the truth about Madara, and the towering statue in the Valley of the End was built as a historical reminder.
Yuma patiently listened to Shisui's explanation before smiling and adding,
"You're right about their origins. But more importantly... that massive canyon? It was created by the aftermath of their battle.
And now… with my Sharingan alone—without even using Earth Style—I can reshape the terrain on a similar scale."
"What?!" Obito gasped in disbelief. "Brother Yuma, are you saying you can change the landscape like that just with your Sharingan?!"
Unlike Shisui, who had grown up within the clan and had never left the village, Obito had been on numerous missions outside Konoha. He had seen the Valley of the End with his own eyes and knew exactly how vast that canyon was.
Stretching from the statue site all the way to the coastline, the terrain change spanned hundreds of kilometers.
That was why the place was called the "Valley of the End"—the sheer scale of destruction was like a battle between gods.
Now, hearing Yuma claim that he could achieve a similar feat with just the Sharingan…
Obito found it hard to believe.
"If that's true… doesn't that mean you've surpassed the First Hokage?!" he blurted out.
As a teammate, Obito knew well that Yuma's power wasn't limited to his Sharingan. He had also seen him use "Sage Mode," which amplified his strength more than threefold.
If Yuma could reshape the terrain with just the Sharingan, then combined with Sage Mode…
Obito couldn't even fathom how powerful he had become.
At Obito's astonished remark, Yuma merely smiled and turned his gaze toward the approaching figure at the edge of the forest.
With a casual chuckle, he said,
"I wouldn't go so far as to say I've surpassed the First Hokage, but I'm certainly not weak.
Also… the person looking for me has arrived. If you still have questions, I'll explain later."
—Of course, that was a lie.
Yuma knew exactly how powerful he had become.
Even without considering his powerful eye techniques, his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan alone allowed him to manifest a Susanoo that was two to three hundred meters tall.
Adding in Sage Jutsu and Wood Style, reshaping terrain was almost effortless.
Over the past six months, he had never neglected his physical training. His unique ability, Steel Tempering, had continuously strengthened his body.
Through this training, he had started unlocking the immense potential hidden within the Ōtsutsuki lineage—a race capable of interstellar travel.
Yuma found their bodies fascinating.
Kaguya, Momoshiki, Urashiki… those three weren't particularly impressive in battle, but Isshiki was a different story.
That guy, in Boruto, could crush a fully-powered Rinnegan Susanoo using nothing but his fists.
Because of that, Yuma had spent the past six months carefully analyzing the changes in his own body.
Through rigorous training, he had confirmed it—his body was evolving like an Ōtsutsuki!
The Ōtsutsuki weren't native to the ninja world; they were an advanced interstellar civilization. Unlike ordinary humans, their bodies had no natural limits.
With enough training, they could continuously grow stronger.
Now, Yuma no longer needed to breathe, and thanks to Sage Mode's enhanced perception, he could sense that his body had become resistant to atmospheric radiation.
This meant he could already survive in outer space.
And his body was still evolving.
At this point, even without enhancing his punches with chakra, he could shatter small mountains with his bare hands.
He was more than satisfied with his progress.
Given a few more years of training, his raw physical strength alone might rival the top fighters of the One Piece world.
That wasn't all.
Staying in Konoha for six months had allowed Yuma to fully integrate the Golden Trait he had obtained from Shisui—Illusionary Life!
Like Madara and Sasuke, Yuma had never been particularly skilled in Genjutsu.
But now, he had completely mastered this new ability.
With his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, combined with the Illusionary Life trait, he had created his own Genjutsu domain—a personalized space like Tsukuyomi and Kotoamatsukami.
In that space, he could manipulate time perception at will, just like Tsukuyomi, and unleash direct mental attacks like Kotoamatsukami Light.
Now, in terms of ninja skills…
Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu—he had reached the pinnacle in all three.
He had become a perfect ninja with no weaknesses.
These thoughts flashed through Yuma's mind in an instant.
In reality, after reassuring Obito, he simply turned and walked toward the approaching young Uchiha clansman.
