Sarutobi Asuma drew his two iconic chakra knives, which quickly became enveloped in waves of blue chakra.
Haruto remained unfazed. "Asuma, are you seriously going to fight me over this?"
"Stop it, Asuma! Put the knives away!" Kurenai tried to intercede.
"No, I have to prove myself! Kurenai, didn't you say you looked at him because he was strong? Today, I'll show you who's the real strong one here!"
With a swift motion, Asuma lunged, his chakra knife aiming straight at Haruto's lower body.
"Are you serious? That's low!"
Haruto quickly countered with a kunai to block the chakra knife.
"Low? I'm just serving justice!" Asuma's next move aimed for Haruto's stomach.
"What the heck!" Haruto cursed. His taijutsu was no match for Asuma's; he knew he'd lose if it came to prolonged hand-to-hand combat. Deciding quickly, Haruto dodged and stepped back, creating distance between them.
"What's wrong? Afraid?" Asuma taunted. "You're not as tough as you act, Haruto."
Haruto sneered. "Sorry, I prefer saving my strength for things that matter. Fighting battles isn't my style if I can avoid them."
Haruto wanted to test his ability in this fight—his new Mangekyo Sharingan.
Each Uchiha's Mangekyo Sharingan had unique, powerful abilities, but Haruto hadn't yet figured out what his could do since it awakened so suddenly.
Focusing, his eyes glowed red, and the three tomoe began to spin, morphing into an ominous pattern.
"Is that... your Mangekyo Sharingan?"
Asuma felt a surge of apprehension. He had heard of the Uchiha's rare Mangekyo and its mysterious powers from his father, Hiruzen Sarutobi, but had never seen it up close.
Even Haruto was eager to discover what his new ability could do.
Unfazed, Asuma ignored the risk of eye contact—a tactic he hadn't yet learned about. The two stood, eyes locked.
Three seconds passed… Nothing happened.
Asuma smirked. "Trying to scare me? Turns out the Mangekyo is just a fancy myth. Haruto, prepare to lose! Even if you summon that skeletal giant, I'm not afraid!"
Asuma charged again.
"What's going on?" Haruto wondered.
The Mangekyo was activated, draining chakra continuously, yet none of the expected effects occurred—no black flames, no phasing, no control over illusions.
"Is this some kind of joke, system? Did you give me a defective Mangekyo?"
This morning, he had only been able to summon Susanoo's initial skeletal state, making him question whether these eyes were just some kind of shoddy counterfeit.
The system's voice cackled: *"Heh heh heh... be patient, kid. You'll see soon enough…"*
Just as Asuma approached, he suddenly doubled over in pain, collapsing to the ground.
"???"
Everyone around looked on, bewildered. Haruto hadn't done anything, but Asuma was down.
Clutching his stomach and sweating profusely, Asuma groaned, "Ah! My stomach… it's killing me! Haruto, what did you do to me?"
"Whoa, whoa, hold on!" Haruto raised his hands, bewildered. "I didn't touch you! Everyone here saw that! Are you sure you didn't eat something bad?"
"Ahhh!" Asuma gritted his teeth, his face pale from the pain.
"Haruto, another day... let's fight another day. Someone, please get a medical ninja! I can't take this anymore!"
Kurenai rushed to Asuma's side, visibly distressed. Despite everything, she was still worried about Asuma's sudden collapse.
Haruto sighed as he looked at Kurenai, his feelings mixed with disappointment. It seemed Kurenai still had feelings for Asuma.
As he resigned himself to this thought, Kurenai suddenly clutched her own stomach and moaned, sinking to her knees.
"Wait…!"
Haruto finally understood. His Mangekyo ability was causing this!
But what kind of power was this? All he'd done was give them both stomachaches! Practical as it seemed, it felt underwhelming.
Quickly, Haruto deactivated his Mangekyo, reverting to his normal eyes, expecting the pain to subside. But even after a minute, both Asuma and Kurenai were still suffering.
After a while, medical ninjas arrived to help.
"Asuma, can you describe the pain?"
"It's my stomach… and my lower back," Asuma groaned.
One of the medical ninjas quickly gathered chakra in his hands, treating Asuma's abdomen.
The medic's brow furrowed. "This is… serious."
Asuma tensed. "What is it?"
Hesitantly, the medic replied, "Asuma… it looks like your lower body might be, well, non-functional."
"WHAT????"
Nearby, another medic was examining Kurenai.
Kurenai was nervous, fearing a similar issue. But instead, the medic smiled brightly and said, "Congratulations, Kurenai! You're pregnant!"
Kurenai: "What?!"
Asuma: "Huh?!"
Haruto: "..."
Haruto felt himself hit rock bottom. He had no idea how Kurenai and Asuma ended up with such wildly different outcomes. Had he just been a bystander in his own game?
Just then, Asuma screamed in shock, his voice echoing around the clearing.
"Kurenai! You… you betrayed me! I haven't even touched you. Who's the father of this child? I'll kill him!"
Kurenai, equally shocked, stammered, "That… that can't be! Asuma, I haven't been with anyone! I'm still..."
*"Heh heh heh… So, boy, have you figured out your Mangekyo's ability?"* the system's voice echoed in Haruto's mind.
Haruto stood stunned, unable to comprehend the drama unfolding before him.
*"Fine, let me spell it out."*
*"Thanks to this system, your Mangekyo Sharingan has a very… unique ability. Its effects differ depending on the target's gender."*
*"For men…"*
**Left eye effect:** Anyone who looks into your left eye for 5 seconds becomes infertile.
**Right eye effect:** Anyone you look at with your right eye for 5 seconds also becomes infertile.
*"And for women…"*
**Left eye effect:** Any woman who looks into your left eye for 5 seconds becomes pregnant.
**Right eye effect:** Any woman you look at with your right eye for 5 seconds also becomes pregnant.
*"And, naturally, they're pregnant with your child."*
*"This ability causes intense physical discomfort. For men, it's back pain; for women, stomach pain."*
*"If they realize the results, it'll only worsen their physical and mental distress."*
*"To summarize: six out of six!"*
