Chapter 418: Eye Transplant
Masahiko felt that after his Yin attribute reached level ten, his IQ had increased by a large margin. Things that used to confuse him could now be understood with a little thought.
"The problem now lies in his first time travel, which was the time I was supposed to travel. Something must have happened that made him want to go back to the past and travel again."
"If he could sense his own bloodline in Sara, he would know that the era he arrived at in his second time travel was different from the first. But he still did it. Does it mean he didn't want me to have the same experience as him, or even... did he prevent some kind of tragedy? Do I have to thank him?"
"It's more likely that he was just being playful..."
"Find him and ask him clearly! If he doesn't talk, I'll beat him up. Who knows how many Witness Points that guy spent on Aino to let an ordinary person live for a thousand years... He can't possibly be my match!"
Masahiko's eyes gradually cleared, his thoughts finally completely sorted out.
Seeing this, the Sage of Six Paths spoke again: "Masahiko Uzumaki, don't you want to eliminate the other you?"
Masahiko was startled, then smiled and shook his head: "The thought that 'I must be unique' isn't something I should have at my age. That's the 'arrogance' of youths. Has he ever tried to eliminate me? I just treat him as a mischievous Shadow Clone now... Wait, Shadow Clone, why do I have a bad feeling about this..."
The Sage of Six Paths remained silent.
After standing dumbfounded for a moment, Masahiko shook his head and said: "Then what do you want to do? Eliminate him?"
The Sage of Six Paths tapped his staff on the ground: "He should not exist in this world, and the reason for Mother's drastic change in temperament is still unknown. He must be eliminated!"
Masahiko laughed and shook his head. That guy farmed Witness Points and even took the blame for Kaguya destroying the world? As expected of me... Now he finally understood why the Sage of Six Paths had always had a bad attitude towards him. Hate the house and the crow?
The Sage of Six Paths returned to his cross-legged floating posture: "I have explained everything clearly. Let me leave!"
Masahiko was stunned: "You want to slip away just like that? Hooligan Sage, give Hashirama to me quickly!"
The Sage of Six Paths frowned and waved his hand. Hashirama's soul appeared, enveloped in white light, in the unconscious state of the Underworld.
Masahiko pondered for a moment, not waking him up immediately, and turned his head: "And Tobirama!"
The Sage of Six Paths waved his hand again.
"And Nanako!"
The Sage of Six Paths waved his hand again.
"What about padding the word count? Hurry up!"
The Sage of Six Paths waved his hand repeatedly.
As the souls behind him gradually increased, Masahiko grinned, turned his head, and looked at them one by one: "Eldest Nephew, I've missed you to death!"
The one he had been separated from the longest was his Eldest Nephew, thirty years had passed in a flash...
Counting the numbers, Masahiko pondered slightly: "Hitomi and Naori Uchiha are still missing!"
"Naori Uchiha's soul is not with me; it was summoned by someone. As for Hitomi Uzumaki, his soul suffered trauma during the last Edo Tensei and is still recovering. It cannot be moved carelessly!" The Sage of Six Paths replied slowly.
Masahiko narrowed his eyes: "Hitomi opened the Eight Gates and kicked me so many times, did his soul get injured from that?"
He didn't suspect the Sage of Six Paths of lying. Since he had given so many souls, one more or less wouldn't matter. "How long does he need to recover?"
The Sage of Six Paths pondered for a moment: "Five years at the shortest, ten years at the longest! Masahiko Uzumaki, I have given you the souls you wanted. It is time for me to go!"
Masahiko blinked: "Stay a little longer. I still have a few questions for you. Who exactly is the one wanting to resurrect Kaguya?"
The Sage of Six Paths paused: "Just a pitiful person caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi whose memories awakened for some unknown reason. Don't worry about him; he will never succeed!"
"Infinite Tsukuyomi? Someone from a thousand years ago?" Masahiko scratched his head, "Someone 'Teuchi' offended? This ability to cause trouble... the more I look at it, the more he seems like a Shadow Clone..."
Looking at the Sage of Six Paths in front of him, Masahiko waved his hand: "Alright, you're done here! Go back for now, I'll pull you in again if I need you."
The Sage of Six Paths vanished instantly, expressing that he would be a fool to let himself be pulled in again.
Masahiko was dazed for a moment until Kagami came to his side: "Elder Masahiko, did you ask the Sage of Six Paths for the souls of the First Hokage and the others?"
"Ah." Masahiko explained: "If I want people to live freely in this spiritual space, there is a limit to the number of people. If there are too many, I can't maintain your conscious states. So I only asked for them. In the future... I'm afraid it won't be enough!"
Kagami Uchiha sighed softly: "This is enough, Elder Masahiko."
Masahiko smiled and turned his head: "The spiritual space is going to liven up! Let's restore them to their youthful states first. We have plenty of time to catch up this time!"
...
Three days later, in the Fat Sheep Casino, Masahiko stood up and stretched his body. Having chatted with a group of 'dead people' for three days, his mood was incredibly pleasant.
The juniors' worship of 'Sage Masahiko' was very enjoyable for him. It was a pity Hitomi wasn't there, otherwise, Masahiko could have been praised even more comfortably...
"Mere words of flattery absolutely cannot make me lose my true self... Mm, going in to listen once every three to five days from now on will be enough."
With most of his consciousness invested in the space, his physical body could only maintain basic daily movements subconsciously, like a fool...
Fortunately, Mito and Tsunade took care of him.
Seeing the life return to his eyes and the... smile curl up on his lips, the two instantly understood that Masahiko's 'soul had returned to his body'.
"Great-great-grandfather, how is it? Grandfather's soul...?"
Masahiko smiled: "Not only Hashirama, I also got back the souls of Kenji, Yoriko, and Nanako!"
Hearing this, Mito smiled: "Great-great-grandfather, how about you just send me in directly."
Tsunade nodded: "Mm, Grandmother has accompanied me for long enough!"
Masahiko paused and shook his head: "Wait a bit longer, I need your help with something."
He slowly pulled a sealing scroll from his pocket. After unsealing it, a square little box appeared before the three of them. Inside the box lay Kagami's pair of Mangekyou Sharingan.
"Either of you can transplant these eyes for me, just make it quick!"
Tsunade was taken aback. She didn't ask Masahiko why he was transplanting the eyes, but instead laughed and shook her head: "Great-great-grandfather, why don't you just do it yourself? By severing the pain nerves in your eyes, with your medical ninjutsu, it'll only take five seconds!"
Masahiko blinked: "Hurry up! I can't bring myself to do it to myself. How about you do it, Mito?"
Mito shook her head: "I am an Edo Tensei resurrected by the enemy after all. It's better if I don't do something as dangerous as an eye transplant. Let Tsunade do it."
Tsunade nodded. Masahiko gritted his teeth and watched as Tsunade's two delicate white fingers got closer and closer to his eyes...
He closed his eyes... not out of fear, just a conditioned reflex.
Ten minutes later, Masahiko looked at the world, and it had become different... Nearsighted patient +1.
At the same time, two new lines of attributes were added to the attribute panel:
Left Eye: Mangekyou Sharingan
(-765234/1000000)
Right Eye: Mangekyou Sharingan
(-800063/1000000)
"Kagami... negative eighty thousand. You didn't even go blind, it really wasn't easy for you."
"Do I have to use points? My physique... should be able to slowly nourish them back to health, right?"
Masahiko slowly gathered chakra, directing it toward his brand new pair of eyes...
