Chapter 241 : Left Eye!
"Darn it, why has my ocular power been halved?!"
In the dense woods, Takeshi covered his left eye and bellowed. The energy meant to trigger eye evolution seemed to have been redirected by some concealed rules.
Initially, both eyes felt a burning sensation of evolution. However, presently, all that power had concentrated solely on the left eye, accompanied by a peculiar pain originating from cells and genes.
"Hu-hu-!"
Takeshi found himself sweating profusely. Although the awakening of the Mangekyō Sharingan was expected to be painful, it didn't seem like this. Should it take this long?
Why does it feel like my entire body is undergoing a transformation? Could it be related to the ocular technique I acquired?
Uh...why is only the left eye undergoing change?!
"Don't be surprised. The other half of your ocular power was absorbed by Orochimaru's clone," White Scaled Snake casually remarked in Takeshi's mind.
"As for why only one eye is changing, it's because the quality of the absorbed energy is sufficient, but the quantity is insufficient. So, I concentrated them in your left eye. Otherwise, the eyes wouldn't evolve, and these energies would ultimately dissipate. Wouldn't you find that regrettable?"
"What? Just one eye undergoing evolution?!" Takeshi had more than one "mmp" (expression of dissatisfaction) in his heart, wondering if he had unlocked a fake Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Idiot, I've mentioned before, your devouring power is far more complex than simply being able to use a Mangekyō Sharingan without rejection," White Scaled Snake seemed to grasp Takeshi's thoughts and said casually. "The ability of the White Scaled Snake bloodline is to fundamentally transform your bloodline."
"Is there any difference?" Takeshi asked straightforwardly.
"In simple terms, even if your eyeballs are removed, your abilities will remain intact upon regrowth," White Scaled Snake pondered for a moment.
"Nani?!"
"Hey, that means, those Uchiha folks, their ocular power is contained within their eyes. In your case, the power comes from within, and the eyes serve merely as carriers of that power."
White Scaled Snake explained casually, "This is the normal state, and I suspect it's also the situation with the powerful Otsutsuki in the beginning. Eye injury doesn't necessarily mean a loss of ocular power. As for their descendants, the separation of Sage body and eyes represents a form of degeneration."
Continuing, White Scaled Snake stated, "Due to this degeneration of bloodline, the Uchiha clan relies solely on their eyes to store power. Losing their eyes means losing everything, essentially reducing them to the status of mortals."
"That's it. So, I can only open one eye because my situation is different from the Uchiha's when unlocking the Mangekyō Sharingan. I gain the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan without as many restrictions!"
After contemplating for a while, Takeshi finally exclaimed excitedly.
"That's correct," White Scaled Snake's tone was reassuring, akin to teaching a child. "So, you don't need to worry about your eyes. While there are usage restrictions, you won't go blind. Most eyes can't withstand the pressure of force, and they may get damaged, and their body won't be able to repair them."
"But your body is very resilient; it's just a little troublesome to repair. Of course, the power comes from the bloodline itself, and once your eye leaves the socket, it's just an ordinary eyeball."
"Oh, really..."
White Scaled Snake's words suddenly extinguished a trace of hope in Takeshi's heart.
Originally, he thought, since the eyes can be regenerated, wouldn't it be amazing to keep deducting them to create a "Mangekyō Sharingan"?
It seems that I still think too much. It is impossible for such a loophole to exist...
However, it's good to be able to use the pupil technique without going blind. You can just pretend to be Madara Uchiha like Obito. After all, even if others have a Mangekyō Sharingan, they can't use it as effortlessly as he does.
I just don't know what kind of ability my eye has awakened?
"By the way, can my pupil power be given to Orochimaru?" Takeshi suddenly thought.
"Orochimaru is your first clone and has the closest relationship with you. This time, the power you obtained from the Mangekyō Sharingan is extraordinary, involving the deep soul and bloodline, arousing the resonance of your own body. Your whole body reacts.
Since this ability is closely related to your body, Orochimaru, who is most closely related to you, also acquires this ability.
Well, what's the use of explaining what you don't understand... In short, he should have opened a Mangekyō Sharingan with the same ability as you."
"Hey, who can't understand it's so simple?"
"..."
In short, that is to say, the ability of the Mangekyō Sharingan is a reflection of the soul, and everyone can obtain the ability that they most need, the most useful pupil technique.
"The ability that is closely related to my body... Hey, I originally imagined that I could awaken Space-Time abilities to travel at home, kill people, run away if I can't be provoked, and have infinite storage space. It seems that I missed it...
Could it be Itachi's Tsukuyomi? After all, my mental strength is so strong...
Well, as long as it's not a useless fire Amaterasu, it will be fine, although it's cool..."
Humans have been dreaming of flying for thousands of years, but instead of growing wings, they have evolved the most useful brain for human beings, determined by their living conditions.
Obito witnessed Rin's death at the hands of his former friend Kakashi. He was full of despair over reality and wanted to destroy it, so he awakened Kamui, one to tear apart everything in the world, and one to escape from the real world.
Uchiha Shisui was eager to resolve the tit-for-tat situation between the family and the village, but he couldn't convince them, so he awakened Kotoamatsukami and could control two sides to convince them both.
When it came to Itachi, the conflict could no longer be resolved. He had to make a choice, use his own power to destroy, but also needed to express his will, so he awakened Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi.
And Sasuke is a complete destroyer, not only awakening Amaterasu but also further awakening Kagutsuchi which can control it...
So what do you need most?
It seems that now we only need to develop in a vulgar way, accumulate strength silently, and finally surpass the limit that ordinary humans can achieve. In the future, we will compete with those non-human powerhouses that appear, and rewrite everything.
Relying on this Mangekyō Sharingan, even if one attains a momentary surge in formidable power, garnering fame in the ninja world remains ephemeral.
Even reaching the level of a powerhouse like the Hokage is insufficient; Madara Uchiha effortlessly engages with five kages without breaking a sweat in the later stages.
In this realm where bloodline contends and success may hinge on luck, aspiring to become a supreme powerhouse demands venturing beyond the ordinary path. Mere affluence, like that of the giant snake Orochimaru, falls short and becomes a mere source of amusement.
So, what is this power that can resonate so profoundly with one's being? Can one truly shape their destiny relying on this ocular technique?
The anticipation lingers...
The left eye intensifies in heat, and the body experiences a growing numbness, akin to countless ants relentlessly biting.
In the distance, Orochimaru remains half-kneeling on the ground, abstaining from the skirmish between C, Jiraiya, and the Summoning beasts. It appears as though he senses something.
"Hurry, hurry! The chain dropped at a crucial moment... Wow, C hammered them into pieces!"
Orochimaru roars. Suddenly, he perceives a lightness on his body, the pain waning like a receding tide, and clarity returning to his left eye.
At that very moment, Takeshi opens his eyes, greeted by a world that seems brighter.
Within the left eye socket, a scarlet eyeball adorned with intricate and magnificent patterns rotates slowly.
