Uh... Yeah, okay. So the mangekyo sharingan only unlocks when you witness the death of someone you have a close enough bond with. If you do ever unlock it, return here and I'll transplant you with another to unlock the eternal mangekyo.

@Yatagarasu

What kind of bond?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Mm... If you have the opportunity to unlock your mangekyo sharingan, I'd recommend it. Otherwise, my personal philosophy is to copy everything you can.

@Yatagarasu

What is the fastest path to that?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Yep.

@Yatagarasu

Do you recommend I focus on anything in particular?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Well, for example, you could copy someone's movements with a pencil to cheat on a test, or the same with a keyboard, but more advanced techniques that require more of the body are harder to copy, but possible. Really, there are few exceptions that aren't techniques that use other EEs than chakra. You're not going to be able to learn to use ki by copying someone, for example, but you'd be able to copy the movements just fine. And, especially combined with the byakugan to see chakra circuits, you'll be able to copy any chakra-based technique you see as long as you focus on it. But if you want to pick up a new skill, copying an expert will be very helpful.

@Yatagarasu

I see. And I assume it's a matter of practice from here?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Mm. Still no transfer of consciousness, but since they're still literally you, there's not a huge need for it. I'll let you try to figure that one out on your own though, instead of just giving you the answer like I have been. Any last questions?

@Yatagarasu

Does copying work with any technique?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Well, now that you've got the other dojutsu, why not test them out? With the sharingan you'll be able to copy my movements, so I'll force an activation of it so you can learn the feeling.

*I tap your forehead and you activate your sharingan*

Alright, follow along.

*My hands form hand seals at a speed beyond your normal sight's ability to follow, but you're able to both follow and copy them with your sharingan active, before a puff of smoke occurs next to me and another me appears from within it*

Simple.

@Yatagarasu

I see. That's useful, to say the least.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

A better shadow clone that'll work through dimensions. Normally when you leave one, your shadow clones disperse, and when you disperse one in another universe, the memories and chakra won't return to you. With this, they will.

@Yatagarasu

Consider me very interested.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Yeah, that was the point? Anyway, there's only one last thing to learn, and then you're all done.

@Yatagarasu

That being?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*As you eat the fruit you slowly lose consciousness*

*As you wake up several hours later I snap my fingers in front of your face to wake you up*

Hey, you okay there? Surgery's done, sealing is done too. How are you feeling? You were overwhelmed by the chakra but that was expected. Didn't want you trying to fight it since it's safer to just pass out, so I didn't warn you. But everything worked well, you'll be hearing the voice of your new racoon friend soon.

@Yatagarasu

That... was unexpected, to say the least.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Yep. Don't like, throw the whole thing in your mouth at once or you might choke, but eat the whole thing.

@Yatagarasu

*Nods and takes a bite of the fruit*
