Chapter 151 Eyes
"Nagato!"
A figure moving at high speed leaped more than ten meters and quickly approached Nagato, Kane and the others.
Yahiko stopped in front of Nagato. His heart, which had been tense all the way, finally calmed down completely the moment he saw Nagato.
Although he had been informed in advance by Lu Ni, he always had a sense of emptiness and floating before he could meet Nagato.
"Shisui's eyes?"
After spending a few moments with Nagato and calming down his nervousness and excitement, Yahiko's gaze fell on Kane and the other two behind Nagato, and his gaze stayed on Shisui's face with a bandage wrapped around his eyelids.
He already had some guesses in his mind, and subconsciously looked at Lu Nie, wanting to get an accurate answer from him.
"Don't worry about me. Even if I lose my Sharingan, I can still be a ninja."
The one who answered Yahiko was Uchiha Shisui. His tone and expression were not as depressed and sad as expected, but rather showed a kind of open-mindedness.
For other Uchiha clan members, losing the Sharingan is tantamount to losing everything they have.
The Sharingan is a symbol of identity and strength for the Uchiha clan! It is also the source of Uchiha's glory.
Just like Hinata takes his own Byakugan very seriously.
But as an outlier in the Uchiha clan, although Shisui is proud of the power of the Sharingan, he does not regard the Sharingan as unparalleled like most of the clan members, belonging only to the Uchiha and representing the power of the Uchiha.
Even without the influence of Orochimaru and Kagane, the Sharingan was just a bloodline limit power in his heart.
Although he was blind at the moment, he could still use the Hougyoku mode. In Hougyoku mode, his senses would replace his eyes and help him distinguish the enemy's chakra, and based on the chakra, he could tell the enemy's position and the attributes of the ninjutsu he was using. His ears could judge the enemy's attack direction based on the sound.
Shisui and Anko have had sparring sessions before. Although Shisui's strength has obviously declined due to his blindness, under the effect of the Hogyoku mode, ordinary ninjas are still no match for him.
Yahiko had mixed feelings because he felt that he had not helped Shisui and Kane. However, he had experienced a lot of great things during this period and had grown up quickly.
Yahiko quickly calmed down his fluctuating emotions and said to Lu Nie: "I met Master Jiraiya. He led the ninjas of Konoha to investigate the battlefield between Shisui and that White Zetsu! I told him everything I knew.
Oh, and what about the White Zetsu?"
"I don't know. Maybe, dead?"
After hearing Yahiko's last question, Nagato looked at Shisui and said hesitantly. In fact, if Yahiko hadn't asked this question, Nagato himself didn't seem to have any doubts about White Zetsu's fate.
Nagato didn't believe that anyone could stay there and survive.
But is it really so? How can we determine the boundary between life and death? Nagato could not come to a conclusion in his heart.
Maybe from the perspective of the Ninja World, the White Zetsu is really dead. But in another place, his consciousness and soul may still be alive?
"Senior Jiraiya? I understand." Lu Nie nodded. He had no doubt about the fact that Konoha's ninjas were going to explore the battlefield.
During the war, with the Kirigakure ninjas and a small number of Iwagakure ninjas active in the territory, Konoha would naturally be on high alert and extremely sensitive.
From the complete narrations of Nagato and Shisui before, we can hear how huge the fluctuations of the battle between them were. It was impossible not to attract the Konoha ninjas.
If nothing unexpected happens, Jiraiya should have returned to the village by now to report the intelligence he had gathered and the news he had received from Yahiko.
"Don't worry about Shisui, I will make him back to normal." Lu Nie added. In fact, he had already found a few pairs of ordinary ninja eyes for Shisui that barely matched him.
After all, people are dying on the battlefield every moment, and among the corpses of the ninjas from Kirigakure and Iwagakure, the only important things are their brains and bodies.
Unfortunately, the situation after the transplant was a bit complicated. It was not as he imagined that replacing a pair of eyes would allow Shisui to regain his sight. Even if the rejection problem was temporarily solved by using drugs and medical ninjutsu.
It's as if Shisui's eyes have sealed his vision, so simply replacing a pair of eyes won't do the trick.
Although a more detailed examination has not yet been carried out using instruments, medical ninjutsu can also cover some of the examination items and allow Lu Nie to make a rough inference based on this.
Based on the results of the examination, Lu Nie speculated that the replacement eye was swallowed by the blind kaleidoscope.
Shisui's eye sockets were now a pair of black holes that devoured pupil power. Even if an ordinary ninja's eyes devoured more, it would not be able to restore his sight.
Even if it was the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, even if it was three magatama, it should be the same. Apart from wasting the pupil power of a pair of three magatama Sharingan, it was useless.
Only when eyes of equal mass are fused and devoured can the blind kaleidoscope regain its brightness.
In other words, one must have at least a pair of kaleidoscope eyes, and only after the pupil power and eyes are fused with Shisui's kaleidoscope can one have a chance of regaining sight.
The closer the blood relationship and pupil power are, the better the recovery effect may be.
However, if there were two pairs of Mangekyō at the same time, given the Uchiha's obsession with and emphasis on their own eyes, who would be willing to risk blindness and loss of power to transplant their eyes to others and sacrifice themselves for others?
Perhaps only people with extremely close blood ties and very good relationships would make such sacrifices and choices when they have no other choice.
Does Shisui have such relatives?
In Lu Nie's impression, it seems not.
Because of his special character and family background, although he is very talented, Shisui was not valued by the Uchiha clan. His philosophy is exactly the same as that of Uchiha Kagami, which is unacceptable to most of the Uchiha clan members.
Family and honor always come first in the hearts of most Uchiha people.
After opening the Mangekyō, in the eyes of the Uchiha clan members, he possesses power similar to that of Uchiha Madara. Among the current Uchiha clan members, who can give up such power?
Besides, whether transplantation can only be performed between father and son, or between brothers, is also a question that needs to be verified.
As for the so-called straight and curved kaleidoscopes in his memory, they were not within Lunie's consideration because there were too few samples or no samples at all.
But if Zhiba is just the so-called pupil power output that makes it easier to go blind, then the power of Bengyu can play a similar role to some extent.
In other words, the power of the Hougyoku can be used as fuel to increase the upper limit of all ninjutsu and bloodline, including the Sharingan. If an Uchiha clan member can master the Hougyoku mode perfectly and has a very strong eye power of the three-magatama Sharingan, it is possible to use Susanoo with only a pair of three-magatama eye power without opening the Mangekyō.
Although it may just be the first stage Susanoo in the end.
Although this is the speculation, if the Uchiha clan is willing to use a pair of three-magatama Sharingan as the price of the experiment, Luna also wants to transplant it to Shisui to see if it is really as he speculated.
Of course, if eye transplantation is not feasible, you can also take another path and try to restore the lost pupil power through time and other powers.
Although it is uncertain whether the so-called eternal kaleidoscope can be obtained in this way, based on Lu Nie's speculation, we can try to conduct the experiment.
The only downside is that it may take a longer time to wait.
"Has any of your elders ever opened a kaleidoscope?"
Watching Yahiko and Nagato leave, Kane suddenly asked Shisui beside him.
"You want to ask about my direct blood relative Kagami-sama's eyes, right?" Shisui has discussed a lot about eyes with Luna these days, and knows Luna's speculation about the Mangekyō. He also provided Luna with a lot of secrets about the Uchiha Sharingan during the speculation process.
Although most of the forbidden techniques related to the Sharingan in the Uchiha clan are collected and managed by the elders and clan leaders, except for a few forbidden techniques like Izanagi and Izanami, generally, as long as you have made merits for the clan, or have reached the level of strength, you can apply to the clan leader to learn it in private or at the clan meeting.
As a subordinate of Orochimaru, Shisui's status in the family becomes higher and higher as the bond between Uchiha and Orochimaru becomes deeper and deeper.
This rise in status does not mean that Shisui can rival the elders or some of the elite jonin in the clan, but is more of an honorary status.
Many Uchiha were looking forward to establishing a stronger relationship with Orochimaru and Kagane with Shisui as the hub.
For example, Uchiha Itachi, the son of clan leader Fugaku, is waiting for the day when Shikagawa is promoted to jonin and starts leading the team.
This was something that both parties had already reached a tacit understanding on, and although Orochimaru was not happy about it, he also acquiesced to it.
No one would worry that Lu Nie would not be promoted to jonin, especially during war. Every war would certainly lose a large number of ninjas, but at the same time, new jonin and chunin would quickly fill in.
The promotion of ninjas during wartime is not as time-consuming as in peacetime. In the case of a shortage of manpower, the village can also afford to support the jonin promoted during wartime.
“I have heard of the name of Uchiha Kagami. He, the Third Hokage, the advisor, the Hokage assistant, and the elder of the Akimichi clan, were all once under the Second Hokage and were members of the Hokage’s guard.
His strength is very strong according to Elder Qufeng, and he has used the power of the Sharingan to perfection. Has he ever opened the Mangekyō?"
Lu Nie also asked directly. He was not sure whether Uchiha Kagami had the Mangekyō. So he wanted to ask Uchiha Kagami's direct descendant Shisui.
If it is turned on, where is the opponent's kaleidoscope?
"I don't know."
Shisui shook his head, giving Luna an unexpected answer.
"You don't know either?" Lu Nie sighed in his heart.
"My Lord has never shown me the power of the Kaleidoscope. Although he loves to teach me in his free time, he is always busy."
Shisui replied softly.
"So how did he die? Where is his body and eyes?" Lu Nie asked curiously. This seemed to be a secret that had never been mentioned.
"In the Uchiha cemetery." Shisui said openly, "In the cemetery near the village memorial, there are also some of his clothes and hats."
"As for the eyes, generally speaking, when a member of the tribe dies, there will be a responsible elder in the tribe to take care of it."
After a moment of silence, Shisui looked in the direction of Lu Nie with his bandaged eyes and took the initiative to explain: "Generally, the Sharingan will be recycled and destroyed, while some Sharingan with strong pupil power will be preserved with special medical methods.
As far as I know, there is a secret room in the clan that is used to store the seniors' Sharingan. As for how many pairs of Sharingan are stored in it, I don't know.
Elders like this who are specifically responsible for the eyes should also exist in the Hyuga clan! Although the Hyuga branch family has a caged bird that destroys the Byakugan and seals its pupil power.
But after the death of the Hyuga clan, the fate of the Byakugan is a secret. Like the Uchiha clan, there should be an elder in charge of handling and managing the eyes. "
Lu Nie nodded in understanding and did not continue to ask.
In fact, he also knew that Shisui had already revealed a lot of family secrets this time. If he asked more, Shisui might not hide anything from him, but it would be meaningless for him to know the deeper family secrets.
"If I change the way and use your Mangekyō Sharingan as the material to make a set of ninja tools for you, would you accept it?" Lu Nie suddenly asked whimsically.
"Use the Mangekyo as the material to create a set of ninja tools?" Shisui couldn't keep up with Lu Nie's thoughts. Weren't they discussing how to restore his eyesight before? How come the next moment, they were going to use his eyes as the material to create a set of ninja tools?
"To put it simply, it is to use your eyes as materials to create a set of ninja tools with the power of Kaleidoscope." Lu Nie said out the inspiration that emerged in his mind.
"Is this possible?" Shisui asked in disbelief after hearing what Lu Nie said.
Can he use the power of the Mangekyō to create a set of ninja tools with the Mangekyō eye technique? Does this mean that if he gets this set of ninja tools, he can open Susanoo and use his Mangekyō eye technique?
How can this be?
However, when Shisui thought about Luna's previous research results, the determination in his heart suddenly became a little confused.
It seems that Lu Nie's inventions and research always make the impossible possible! Especially the bloodline limit inherited by the ninja bloodline, which has been successfully artificially created in Lu Nie's laboratory.
This is the Fire Release Technique that Hongdou has!
Also, since even incredible items like the Hogyoku have been created, then it doesn't seem impossible to just forge the bloodline into a set of ninja tools?
"Why not?" Lu Nie said with shining eyes: "This is not difficult, it just requires some preparation and materials.
And we need to find a test subject first to test whether the pupil power can be restored. If this plan is feasible, your kaleidoscope may become another form of eternal kaleidoscope."
