Shin looked at the Tenseigan floating in the saline bottle, considering how to use it.

"Can the Tenseigan's ocular power help Mikoto's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan evolve into the Rinnegan?"

Shin wasn't sure if it would work. Although the Rinnegan and Tenseigan likely shared a common origin, who really knew the specifics?

"I was able to fuse the Tenseigan and Rinnegan into the Rinne-Tenseigan. So, using the Tenseigan's power to help Mikoto awaken the Rinnegan… it should be possible."

Shin felt the probability was high.

Whether it was the Byakugan, Sharingan, Rinnegan, or Tenseigan—their ocular powers were fundamentally the same, just differing in quality and strength.

Since it seemed feasible, he decided to try it. Even if it failed, with him around, nothing could go wrong.

Having made his decision, Shin went to find Mikoto.

She wasn't at home but at the training ground, currently guiding Karin's training. Karin was fortunate, having Kushina, Mikoto, Tsunade, and Konan all instructing her. Her starting point was leagues above most.

"Mikoto, come here for a second."

Shin called out to Mikoto upon arriving at the training ground.

Mikoto, who had been sitting and observing Karin's practice, stood up and walked over to Shin.

"Shin, what is it?" Mikoto asked curiously.

"Something important. Something very important."

Shin's mysterious expression piqued the curiosity of Kushina, Tsunade, and the others, who also came over.

"Stop being mysterious and just tell us," Kushina said.

"This concerns Mikoto, not you," Shin said, rolling his eyes at Kushina.

He then took out the Tenseigan and showed it to Mikoto. "Mikoto, I plan to extract the Tenseigan's ocular power and seal it into your eyes. I want to see if it can evolve your Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan."

"Evolve the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan?" Mikoto was slightly surprised, but not overly concerned. She wasn't particularly obsessed with pursuing strength.

"The evolution of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan is the Rinnegan. Does that mean Mikoto's eyes will evolve into the Rinnegan?" Tsunade asked.

"I can't guarantee it. But at the very least, it will enhance the ocular power of Mikoto's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. There's no harm, only benefit."

Since it was all upside, giving it a try seemed worthwhile.

Besides, even if this didn't work, Mikoto might still awaken the Rinnegan on her own in the future. After all, she now possessed both the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and the Perfect Sage Body. The chances of awakening the Rinnegan under these conditions were high, possibly even easier than it was for Madara Uchiha.

"What do I need to do?" Mikoto asked Shin.

"You don't need to do anything, Mikoto. I'll handle it."

Shin took out one Tenseigan. Extracting its ocular power was an operation Shin believed only he could perform.

The extraction process was time-consuming; it took Shin over ten minutes to complete. Afterward, the Tenseigan was completely depleted and useless.

Shin didn't feel bad about it. As long as it served its purpose, destroying it was acceptable.

He then used a sealing technique to seal the ocular power into Mikoto's eyes.

Mikoto closed her eyes, feeling a cool sensation spread through them. Her Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan activated, but it didn't evolve further.

"No change?" Konan observed Mikoto's eyes.

"Of course there's no change yet. I sealed the power within Mikoto's eyes. She needs to slowly absorb and integrate it."

Only after Mikoto fully absorbed the ocular power would they know the result.

"What about the other Tenseigan? Aren't you going to extract its power and seal it in Mikoto's eyes too?" Kushina asked, pointing at the remaining eye in Shin's hand.

"No need. The power of one Tenseigan should be enough for Mikoto. The Tenseigan's power is just a catalyst for potential evolution."

Shin looked at the remaining Tenseigan. He had other plans for this one.

His gaze shifted towards Hinata. Honestly, the Tenseigan's power was likely more compatible with Hinata.

"I'll seal the power of this remaining Tenseigan into Hinata's eyes," Shin said, patting Hinata's head.

"Hinata? Right, Hamura Ōtsutsuki is technically Hinata's ancestor," Tsunade nodded. Then she gave Shin a strange look. Thinking about it, he actually killed her ancestor...

Shin ignored Tsunade's peculiar stare and extracted the ocular power from the second Tenseigan. Having done it once, this time was noticeably faster.

He sealed the Tenseigan's power into Hinata's Byakugan, allowing it to slowly nourish her eyes. Whether they would eventually evolve into the Tenseigan, Shin couldn't guarantee. He wasn't Omniscient; the future was uncertain. But it would definitely benefit her, with no downsides.

"If Mikoto evolves the Rinnegan, does that mean I won't be able to beat her anymore?" Kushina couldn't help but ask.

"That's highly probable. If Mikoto awakens the Rinnegan, you really won't be her match," Shin confirmed with a nod.

Nagato Uzumaki wielded transplanted Rinnegan and could unleash immense power. Mikoto's own awakened Rinnegan would undoubtedly surpass Kushina's current strength.

"Damn it! Dōjutsu are so broken!" Kushina grumbled.

Mei Terumī and Tsunade nodded in agreement. Compared to other abilities, Dōjutsu were incredibly powerful. Even the seemingly weakest, the Byakugan, held considerable potential.

"You can't just envy it," Shin told them. He couldn't help them acquire dōjutsu.

"It's not like I'm envious. I'm strong enough as I am," Kushina said confidently.

"You say you're not weak, but I can practically feel the envy radiating off you," Shin teased Kushina.

"Ahhh! Shin, you're asking for a beating!!"

Kushina, flustered and angry, started chasing Shin. The others were already used to this; they almost felt something was missing if Shin and Kushina didn't chase each other around for a bit.

"Let's go continue guiding Karin's training," Mikoto suggested.

With so many instructors—Karin was progressing rapidly. Driven by her goal to repay Shin by being helpful, she trained diligently. Though she didn't yet know how she could possibly assist Shin—he seemed to need nothing—she dedicated herself to getting stronger.
