Chapter 179
"Lin!"
Obito opened his somewhat heavy eyes, and his blurry vision gradually became clear. Then, a face that made him worried and tearful appeared clearly in his eye sockets from above and was reflected in his eyes.
"You're awake, Obito!"
The familiar voice mixed with the surprised smile blew up Obito like a bomb in an instant, and his brain, which had just regained consciousness, was moving slowly at this moment.
"Am I not dead?"
Obito thought of the last scene in his memory, and the next moment, a look of horror flashed across his face.
"You are not dead! Teacher Minato took you to find Lady Tsunade, and Lady Tsunade saved you!" Rin's voice pulled the panicked Obito back from his wild thoughts the next moment.
"I thought you were dead too!" Obito gasped, "I was just about to scold Kakashi for not protecting you."
"The idea of being the last one."
Another familiar voice that made Obito's face freeze came from the side. He turned his head on the bed and saw Kakashi with white hair at the other end of the room with one hand in his pocket and glancing at him.
Obito did not have the usual quarrel with Kakashi, but instead smiled broadly at him. This smile made the arrogant Kakashi's face stiffen, and he turned his eyes away instantly, but his wandering eyes and clenched palms with blue veins still revealed his true emotions to some extent.
"You've been in a coma for many days, and Kakashi has been here with you for many days. He's very worried about you, Obito." Lin was afraid that the two would quarrel, so she took the initiative to reveal the information.
"I didn't! I was just following Lady Tsunade's instructions to monitor his condition! Now that he's awake, let's notify Lady Tsunade." Kakashi said hurriedly and took the initiative to leave.
"How do you feel?" Lin watched Kakashi's figure disappear in the room, then she retracted her gaze and looked at Obito lying on the hospital bed, and asked carefully.
"Not bad." Obito tried to put on a relaxed smile.
"Does it hurt?" Lin carefully observed Obito's expression and noticed a slight twitch on his face. She had seen this expression too many times on the wounded, so she understood at the first moment that Obito was enduring the pain.
"It's a good thing to be able to feel pain! The most frightening thing is to feel nothing and your body is numb!" Lin comforted Obito with her own words.
"This at least means that the situation is not developing in the worst direction! When you recover from your injuries, you can still be a ninja!"
"Tell me what happened next." Obito's voice was weak and powerless, but his eyes were full of joy at seeing Rin and his companions.
Lin picked out the key points and told him what happened after Obito was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Finally, as if she remembered something, she explained: "Because Minato-sensei came and solved those enemies, your eyes were not replaced by Kakashi."
"Is that so?"
Obito closed his eyes. The reason why he wanted to give his intact eye to Kakashi before he died was because Luna said that the Byakugan and Sharingan would help Kakashi to use his Chidori to the fullest.
However, since the change was not successful, Obito had no regrets.
"are you awake?"
Tsunade swung her ponytail and followed Kakashi into the house. She looked at Obito lying on the hospital bed with joy in her eyes.
No matter how confident she was before, Obito's current clarity of mind proved without a doubt that her medical ninjutsu had reached a level she had never dared to think about before.
She broke the limits of the medical ninjutsu used for treatment.
"Tsunade-sama!" Lin bowed respectfully and greeted. To a medical ninja like her, Tsunade was a unique idol. Her medical ninjutsu was unmatched, and her personal strength was extremely strong.
Every Genin who graduated from the Ninja School and learned medical ninjutsu would be full of admiration and excitement when meeting Tsunade, and she was no exception. Even though she had met her several times before, she still felt the same way.
"Don't worry, since he has woken up, it means his body is recovering." Tsunade did not use medical ninjutsu again to stimulate Obito's body to recover quickly, especially when his vitality was as shaky as a candle in the wind.
"You take care of him. With injuries like this, he can go back to the village to recuperate."
Tsunade checked Obito's body, withdrew her hand when satisfied, and suggested.
"Don't we need to carry out the mission anymore?"
Lin was a person with a delicate mind, and following a good teacher, she knew very well that the current situation in the village was not very good, especially in terms of manpower.
It's possible that Obito will return to the village to recuperate, but she and Kakashi may get a new teammate and continue to carry out missions with Minato-sensei.
"Didn't Kakashi tell you?" Tsunade glanced at Kakashi, who turned his head away and said nothing, raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked back.
"He and Lu Nie have to return to the village to report on their mission and be promoted to Jonin in the village." Tsunade took the initiative to say, "Iwagakure has suffered a heavy blow, and that old guy Ohnoki was also tricked by Orochimaru. In the short term, the offensive of Iwagakure will ease."
"Jounin?"
After Obito and Rin heard Tsunade's words, they only remembered this one key point. Especially Obito, he looked at Kakashi unwillingly.
It's a good thing that my partner was promoted to Jonin.
I have not been promoted and am inferior to others. This is something I cannot tolerate!
However, no matter how strange his thinking was, Obito knew what a jonin meant to a village. This was not a position that could be obtained by throwing a tantrum or being unwilling.
"Is Lu Nie-kun going to be promoted to jonin too?"
While Lin was happy for Kakashi, she was a little surprised that Shikagawa was also about to be promoted to Jonin. But when she thought about the news she heard recently when she was changing the wounded, she was not surprised.
Being able to subdue the Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure independently is worthy of at least two S-level missions based on this achievement alone.
……
On a hillside.
While Shisui was removing the bandage from his eyes, Lu Nie asked him how he felt. "How is it?"
Shisui knew what Luna wanted to ask, so he clenched the removed bandage in his palm, opened it slightly and remained quiet.
The light he once had once again favored him.
“Very clear!”
Shisui was a little excited, and after regaining his sight, he looked around greedily, even though the scenery looked so boring.
"Don't you feel any discomfort?" Lu Nie asked. Shisui felt it carefully, and under Lu Nie's gaze, he shook his head firmly: "I'm fine, I feel the best I have been in for a while."
"It seems that there is no rejection or abnormality in the early stage." Lu Nie nodded, "Let's proceed to the next step. Can you open the Sharingan?"
As soon as Lu Nie finished speaking, Shisui's eyes turned blood red, and three magatama appeared clearly on his pupils.
"Three magatama." Lu Nie looked at Shisui's eyes and said with satisfaction. This represents success, not a defective product.
"Do you want to open the Kaleidoscope?" Shisui was eager to try. He felt that the power of his eyes was far from reaching its limit.
"You can give it a try." Lu Nie also wanted to see how far Shisui could go now.
The eyes in Shisui's eye sockets began to change again. The three magatama were faintly connected into a four-cornered windmill in the eye sockets. Even outside the four-cornered windmill, there were faintly three straight bars emerging. But in the end, the three straight bars disappeared, leaving only the pupils of the four-cornered windmill.
Then, Shisui tentatively used Susanoo, and the power of Yin escape gathered. A giant skeleton emerged from thin air. Then, under the irrigation and output of Shisui's pupil power, the height of the skeleton giant continued to rise, and muscles and veins covered it, followed by skin and armor.
Finally, in the armor stage, Shisui seemed to have hit a bottleneck and could no longer continue.
Forehead!
Shisui covered his eyes with his hands, and the giant that spread upward from his body collapsed in the next moment.
"The second to third stage of Susanoo?" Lu Nie pondered slightly as he watched the skeleton slowly shrink back into Shisui's body.
Not surprisingly.
After all, these were eyes that had just regained their sight, and Lu Nie was already very satisfied that he had achieved this. At least he didn't have to start over from the three magatama.
"Failed?"
Shisui's expression was also a little lost, he could feel that his eyes still contained an unknown and powerful power that had not been unleashed, but when he touched that power, he suffered backlash.
Or rather, rejection!
That power refused his use and contact. It was like there was a door between them. He wanted to open the door and go in, but was kept out because he didn't have the key.
"I haven't been able to tap into the power you mentioned."
Shisui raised his head and looked at Luna with a somewhat shameful look.
"It's okay. This is normal." Lu Nie didn't care about Shisui's apology, and comforted him instead: "Just like the Samsara Eye, if you want to explore its pupil techniques and deeper functions, it takes time to nurture and adjust.
This is not something that can be accomplished overnight!
You can't think of it as the Sharingan of the past, or as a ninja tool, but as a being with self-awareness and the ability to communicate!"
"Like the tailed beasts and the jinchūriki?" Shisui replied subconsciously after hearing what Kagawa said.
"It's like the tailed beasts and the Jinchūriki." Luna nodded, agreeing with Shisui's analogy, and continued with this analogy: "Although the Jinchūriki can borrow the power of the tailed beasts to increase their own strength, once the upper limit is exceeded, they will fall into a state of confusion and be affected by the tailed beasts and run away.
But if the Jinchūriki can reach a tacit understanding with the tailed beast and establish a good relationship, he can borrow more power from the tailed beast without worrying that the tailed beast's consciousness will in turn erode and affect him.
This is difficult, but once you do it, you can become a perfect Jinchūriki, able to borrow all the power of the tailed beast without reservation, even if you completely transform into a tailed beast. "
After a pause, Lu Nie felt that he still had to explain to Shisui, "These eyes are forged from your Mangekyo, a part of the sacred tree, and a part of your soul.
All you can say now is that you have recovered a certain amount of your original kaleidoscope abilities.
The Mangekyō Sharingan is known as the eye of spiritual reflection in your Uchiha history. When it opens, it will grant its owner two, or a set of unique eye techniques based on the owner's spiritual will, personality and ideas.
It is also known as the Uchiha's ultimate eye technique.
But after adding your soul and the fragments of the sacred tree, your kaleidoscope has the possibility of being upgraded again. In other words, you will gain new power!
That is the power that you desire deep in your soul!
Just think of it as a kaleidoscope opening."
"A different kind of kaleidoscope opening?" Shisui took Lu Nie's words to heart. "Does it require experiencing something that stimulates the mind, just like the kaleidoscope?"
“No, the opening of the Mangekyo can be sought from outside. As long as there is an Uchiha clan member who is qualified to open the eyes, after experiencing a major event that is profound enough to affect his future, the Mangekyo may be able to open the eyes.
But the correct way to dig out these eyes is to look inward. That is to say, you need to have a dialogue with yourself, and with the other self that was cut out.
Only when you get his response and have him merge with you again in a similar way to the tailed beasts and the Jinchūriki, will you be able to use his power. "
Listening to Shisui's words, Lu Ni shook his head and corrected him.
"A conversation between souls?" Shisui nodded solemnly. At this moment, the kaleidoscope in his eye sockets was closed, and the black pupils with a hint of nothingness were moving in his eye sockets like real eyes.
If you look closely, you can see that Shisui's eyes are blurry and empty, without substance.
That was the spiritual weapon forged for him by Lu Nie.
Using most of the Five-Tails Jinchuriki's chakra as energy, and a part of the sacred tree as the main material, and added with a piece of Shisui's soul that was cut off by Kagawa, it was finally put into Shisui's Mangekyō to take shape.
It is between entity and nothingness, acting as an eye, and can also use some of the abilities of the kaleidoscope, but in essence, it has long been distinguished from the kaleidoscope.
The purpose of Lu Nie's test this time was to see to what extent Shisui could make use of this spiritual weapon.
At present, it seems that although there is no rejection or abnormality, the spiritual weapon has accepted Shisui very well and recognized Shisui's right to control and use it, but at a deeper level of power, it has not responded to Shisui.
In other words, he has not yet regarded Shisui as a recognized master.
Lu Nie speculated that this might be because Shisui's thinking had not yet changed. His understanding of spiritual tools was still mostly based on the ability of the Mangekyo.
Therefore, what the spiritual weapon gave back to him was also the power of the kaleidoscope.
Susanoo.
No god!
However, if Shisui's mind does not change, the true power of the spiritual weapon will not only fail to materialize, but will be sealed under Shisui's will, and he will be seen as a pair of kaleidoscopes.
Although this is not bad, for a spiritual weapon, it is undoubtedly a waste of time.
So Kagane reminded Shisui to communicate with his other self and gain recognition.
