Chapter 317: Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan are Assembled
Having successfully resolved the matter of Minato Namikaze, Ino quietly opened the Soul-Nurturing Wood that night.
Chiyo had sacrificed her life; Shisui had sacrificed more than half of his soul body.
After death, a person can go to the Pure Land to rest in peace.
If a soul body dies again, it dissipates completely. Even the Reanimation Jutsu cannot bring it back because the soul cannot be found.
"Senior Shisui, do you regret it? Actually, if we found your body, we could have resurrected you with the One's Own Life Reincarnation technique," Ino asked.
Shisui was taken aback, then chuckled and gently shook his head. "There's no need to resurrect an incompetent person like me. To be able to do something more for Konoha after death, I am already very happy. Thank you."
He removed the Mangekyo Sharingan from his soul body. "As a friend, I have one last thing to ask of you. This eye is too dangerous; it should never have appeared in the ninja world. Please help me destroy it."
Ino was a classic case of 'making a whole batch of dumplings just for a bite of vinegar.' Her reply at this moment was exceptionally frank. "Of course. I would have done so even if you hadn't asked."
Shisui removed his left eye, and the speed at which his soul body collapsed accelerated.
"I really, really want to return to Konoha Village again. To be born here, grow up here, and die of old age here… how happy that would be. If there is a next life, I don't want to be an Uchiha again. It's just too tiring…"
Shisui's soul completely collapsed and dissipated with the wind.
The wind tonight was a bit clamorous. A few soul fragments from the completely collapsed soul body were blown to the Sarutobi household. Comrade Asuma Sarutobi was doing some indescribable things with Kurenai Yūhi. When the two reached their peak, a gust of night wind blew, and their bodies suddenly shivered, causing them to surrender directly…
On the other side, having finally obtained the left eye of the Mangekyo Sharingan, Ino was overjoyed.
The ocular power in this eye was nearly depleted. She dared not delay. Using the Flying Thunder God Technique, she went underground and, with extreme tension, performed surgery, transplanting the left eye into Kimimaro's left eye socket. At the same time, she increased the infusion of life force from the plants into the corpse. After waiting a while, she was finally relieved to see the corpse provide a drop of ocular power to the eyeball again.
She finally had the left eye.
Both of Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan were assembled.
After waiting for three days, Ino still couldn't hold back. She used the Spirit Transformation Technique to wrap the ocular power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, which had just been transplanted into Kimimaro's left eye socket, into her spiritual body and brought this unique ocular power back to her own body.
Although it was very scarce, the incomparably cool ocular power flowed into her eyes, giving her the illusion that the world was about to change before her very eyes.
The world would certainly not change; what changed were the eyes with which she observed the world.
The amount of ocular power in her left eye was very small, completely incomparable to the ocular power of her right eye, which she had absorbed several times. But it was indispensable, representing a kind of completion at the genetic level.
Before, she was limping; now, she was finally walking on two legs.
It was as if a thin film was covering her eyes, making the outside world seem like looking at flowers in a fog. It seemed that with a gentle poke, a qualitative transformation could be completed.
Ino was very resolute this time. She used Yin Release chakra to suppress the restless ocular power. If she were to open her eyes now, the benefits would be too low.
Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan's ocular power was extremely pure. Even though Ino's left eye only had a trace of ocular power now, its quality was very high, enough for her to complete the modification of her eye organs and awaken her own Sharingan with ease.
The quality was high, but the quantity was low.
With this little ocular power, she estimated that after modifying her eyes, it would only be at the level of a normal one-tomoe.
Then, Ino would have to be like an ordinary Uchiha, painstakingly training her eye abilities, progressing through two-tomoe, three-tomoe, Mangekyo, Eternal Mangekyo, and Rinnegan.
According to her research on Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan during this period, an ordinary Uchiha's genes are normal. If they don't awaken their eyes, they can still be an ordinary ninja.
Once the eyes are awakened, the originally perfect and healthy genetic balance will mutate. Each time the eyes evolve, the genes change accordingly. One-tomoe changes, two-tomoe changes, three-tomoe continues to change. By the Mangekyo Sharingan stage, the genetic defects are frighteningly large.
Various Kekkei Genkai diseases appear, which can only be rectified by relying on another pair of Mangekyo Sharingan to complete the missing genes.
Once you embark on this path, the result is irreversible. Where would Ino find a sibling to transplant a Mangekyo from?
Madara Uchiha's method, according to the stone tablet, of first obtaining Hashirama cells, then nourishing the Eternal Mangekyo for decades to turn it into a Rinnegan, couldn't be said to be wrong. But considering that Black Zetsu had rewritten the stone tablet's content, this process was definitely tampered with by Black Zetsu, and being led astray was the least of her worries.
Putting the Ōtsutsuki clan aside, only two people in the ninja world had awakened the Rinnegan. Besides Madara Uchiha, the other one who awakened the Rinnegan was the Sage of Six Paths.
The woman the Sage of Six Paths deeply loved was sacrificed, and he awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan. When his younger brother Hamura was killed, he evolved directly from the three-tomoe to the Rinnegan in an instant, without needing decades of bitter suffering.
Ino was definitely not as good as the Sage of Six Paths. Even if she killed Naruto and Sasuke now and absorbed all the reincarnation chakra of Asura and Indra, she would at most reach the level of the Sage of Six Paths' sons. The ceiling for the landlord's two foolish sons was right there; no matter how much she schemed, she couldn't surpass the Sage of Six Paths.
She couldn't replicate the Sage of Six Paths' path from three-tomoe directly to the Rinnegan. He had the bloodline of the Ōtsutsuki clan, and his natural Sage Body could increase his ocular power. She didn't have these conditions.
She couldn't compare to those above, but she could compare to those below.
It was like a very fair racetrack. Everyone stood at the starting point, then ran forward.
Whether you find a teacher to teach you running techniques first, then train hard, and finally run on the starting line with a full set of sports equipment, or run with a missing arm or leg, it's actually all fine. No one restricts you. As for whether you can reach the finish line, that's unknown.
Ino would not rush forward recklessly.
For her, the pitfall of the Mangekyo Sharingan was an objective reality. The Sage of Six Paths had long legs; three, two, one, go! He could jump directly from the three-tomoe to the Rinnegan. Ino couldn't. In this aspect, she was even worse off than Indra's reincarnate, Madara Uchiha; she had to enter the pit.
But entering the pit also required a specific method. The first step was crucial.
She would continue to accumulate ocular power to the limit, then awaken her eyes at the three-tomoe stage.
Then, she would use a Sage Body to repair the genetic damage to her eyes, while continuing to accumulate ocular power, to awaken a genetically stable Mangekyo, commonly known as the Eternal Mangekyo. Finally, she would use the traditional method of relying on intense spiritual stimulation to awaken the Rinnegan. At that time, she would definitely have to sacrifice a "person" who was crucial to her. The first target Ino thought of was her silly friend, the Shinigami…
