Chapter 80 Test Subject
However, reaching that level is truly not a simple matter; there are a great many difficult problems to solve.
For example, Uchiha启 wants to acquire some 'materials' similar to Uchiha Obito's, but how to process them after acquiring them is also a headache.
Also, he needs to find someone who can help him monitor his body's statistics, and none of these things are easy to accomplish.
But Uchiha启 has no intention of giving up. Back then, Uchiha启 persevered with a tenacious spirit and a strong will to survive to reach where he is today, and he successfully obtained the Mangekyo Sharingan he had always dreamed of.
This can only be considered a phased victory. Considering the terrifying individuals who will appear one after another in the future, if Uchiha启 remains at his current stage, he will undoubtedly die!
"As for 'materials,' I already have an idea, and with some luck, I might even acquire them. But once I have them, what should I do?"
Uchiha启 felt a headache coming on. Looking at the Uchiha Compound drawing closer, he could only shake his head: "Forget it, I won't think about these things. If worst comes to worst, I'll intercept Orochimaru when he tries to escape. Or perhaps raid his hideout?"
Uchiha启 is likely not a match for someone like Orochimaru. After all, Orochimaru at this stage is probably not the same individual who would be 'taken down by a single genjutsu' in the future.
A direct confrontation with Orochimaru would likely be hard to call. Even if he could defeat Orochimaru, he wouldn't be able to kill him, because before he left, he had already researched the 'Cursed Seal,' a simplified Sage Mode.
So, Uchiha启 felt that the best method would still be to raid his hideout. Perhaps he might even find something.
Or perhaps... intercept Orochimaru when he is injured?
"The only thing to be careful of is the Third Hokage and his people."
Uchiha启 remembered that the Third Hokage was also at that location at the time, and he watched Orochimaru escape. Afterward, he dispatched troops to track Orochimaru.
Thinking of this, Uchiha启 could only sigh helplessly. He finally decided to take things one step at a time and make a judgment based on the situation when the time came.
No longer thinking about Orochimaru, Uchiha启's thoughts returned to the Eternal Eyes. Uchiha启 had a certain understanding of the Mangekyo's power, but the Eternal Eyes truly required careful consideration.
Based on Uchiha Madara's words and Uchiha启's own judgment, he essentially categorized the Eternal Eyes into two types: Mangekyo that enhance physical coordination and agility, and Mangekyo that increase Chakra volume and power.
Uchiha启 speculated that when brothers awaken their Sharingan, it's very likely that two different types of eyes will appear.
Most typically, while Uchiha Itachi's eyes are not explicitly defined, they are likely eyes biased towards the body, whereas Uchiha Sasuke's eyes are ones that amplify Chakra and power.
Although Uchiha Madara said that Uchiha Sasuke's eyes were for agility, by that time, Uchiha Sasuke's eyes were already Uchiha Itachi's.
Once these two types of eyes are merged, it is equivalent to enhancing physical coordination and Control, while also increasing the Chakra volume and power that the eyes possess!
There's a reason why a single Mangekyo has no future. Since Indra, no one has been able to awaken the Eternal Eyes in one go. The subsequent appearance of the Eternal Eyes also proved that the power of these eyes was split.
Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna were brothers, and Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke were brothers. According to the original story, it seems that only these two pairs of brothers had one of their eyes reach the level of the Eternal Eyes.
This can also be fully understood as the eyes of these brothers merging, completing the Mangekyo's incompleteness, preventing their eyes from ever going blind, and significantly enhancing the abilities the eyes possess!
Thinking of this, although Uchiha启 wasn't sure if his judgment was correct, he felt that his direction was right.
His own eyes had a bias; his eyes focused on physical coordination, something Uchiha启 could feel.
"So, do I need to find a Mangekyo whose eyes are biased towards Chakra?" Uchiha启 frowned: "Uchiha Shisui? Or Uchiha Itachi?"
After a brief thought, both of them were immediately excluded by Uchiha启. Clearly, even if he could move against them, based on his speculation, it was basically a no-go.
Uchiha Itachi no longer needed to be considered; he, like Uchiha启, was likely biased towards physical coordination. As for Uchiha Shisui, his situation was a bit perplexing.
But judging by his title, Shunshin no Shisui, perhaps this kid is also an agility-type Ninja?
"Alright, I see them but can't use them, they're no use at all." Uchiha启 sighed: "There is one more person, but..."
But Uchiha启 didn't dare to act against him. That person was Uchiha Fugaku!
Leaving aside the question of whether he could win, Uchiha启 felt that if he were to act, he could simply catch him off guard. A single Dojutsu aimed at his neck would likely succeed.
But what then?
After that, all of Uchiha启's pre-planned schemes would be ruined. At that point, Uchiha启 would not be able to stay in the entire Uchiha Clan, or even the entire Konoha, unless he endured humiliation and joined Root. Otherwise, he would have no choice but to leave.
Shaking his head, Uchiha启 felt it was better not to take risks, not to mention being unsure of Uchiha Fugaku's specific bias.
If he was biased towards physical coordination, then Uchiha启 would be completely screwed. Even if it was a Mangekyo Sharingan that met Uchiha启's needs, what would he do after acquiring it?
He couldn't possibly implant those eyes into his own to experiment, could he?
Uchiha启 would never experiment on himself like that. If anything went wrong, even his own eyes would be ruined!
"If only I had a pair of brothers or something, how great that would be."
Uchiha启 sighed: "Catch them, torture them, and finally find a way to force them to awaken the Mangekyo. Then kill one of them and use the other as a 'breeding ground' to cultivate the Eternal Eyes. But... where do I find people and equipment?"
Uchiha启 felt he truly had a headache. Finding people was a troublesome matter, because the people he needed to find couldn't be brothers who clearly had no future.
Uchiha启 needed individuals who had strength and whose eyes had already reached the Three-Tomoe stage. Ideally, the brothers would have a very close bond.
Secondly, there was the equipment issue. Uchiha启 needed to eliminate one of them when they were at their weakest, and while the other would be left alive, he would likely erase that individual's consciousness.
A breeding ground doesn't need consciousness; it only needs to provide its physical strength to cultivate the Eternal Eyes.
How could a person without consciousness survive? This would require some equipment to maintain their bodily functions.
It could be said that Uchiha启 currently lacked both of these necessary conditions. Perhaps he could find a way to buy the equipment, but the crucial point was that he had no money!
Uchiha启 rubbed his temples in distress, but he quickly stopped because someone blocked his path.
"Uchiha Yu?" Uchiha启 tilted his head: "What do you mean by stopping me here?"
"I have something to tell you." Uchiha Yu looked at Uchiha启 with great disdain: "Otherwise, do you think I would come looking for you?"
"You don't need to say it." Uchiha启 interrupted him directly: "If you're telling me to prepare myself mentally or to take sides, then you can shut up."
"Brat, you're really asking for death." Uchiha Yu's gaze became dangerous. If this weren't in the Uchiha Compound, he probably would have already made a move, right?
But as his gaze turned dangerous, Uchiha启's gaze also became somewhat dangerous.
It seemed, wasn't this a ready-made 'test subject' delivered right to him?
