New Eyes

Madara took out his eyes and replaced them with the new eyes he had created.

After a slight moment of pain and discomfort, and after using healing jutsu, he was once more able to see again.

It was only after gaining a fresh pair of eyes that Madara was truly able to see exactly how much his original eyes had deteriorated.

It was a gradual decline over time that made him be like a frog in boiling water.

Perhaps he would only notice his blindness when it was too late.

Clicking his tongue, Madara tried to activate the Sharingan with his new eyes but realized that he couldn't and frowned.

Madara channeled chakra from his brain into his eyes and eventually felt a burning sensation on his irises.

When he glanced into a mirror, he saw two red eyes with a single tomoe each reflecting back at him.

"And I half expected it to come as a Mangekyo Sharingan," muttered Madara as he messed around with his two original eyes before placing them in a vial.

Taking a deep breath, Madara steeped himself before making his way outside his laboratory.

He stared at the still-bright sky with a wistful expression.

He had finally achieved his first success in the series of experiments that he had planned out but this was only the beginning.

Having a new pair of eyes that were of the same genetic makeup would bring up a lot of questions.

Would the new Mangekyo Sharingan share the same appearance? The same abilities?

Madara recalled in his memory a certain white-haired white-faced weirdo who made clones of himself but his results were due to his unique genetic makeup.

Would the results be the same for Madara as well?

Madara stomped on the ground hard, causing a chair made of earth to burst out of the ground.

He closed his eyes and let the world play before him, birds would sing while the leaves would rustle from the wind. He could sense multiple chakra natures moving around the village living life and having fun. He could even sense his brother far away with his new fiancé, as well as Hashirama who was also in his house with Mito on a bed-

Madara stopped sending the chakra around him with an awkward expression.

Perhaps he should refrain from using his chakra-sensing abilities for now. He didn't want to become known as a perverted peeper like a certain old grandpa with a glass orb.

"Hashirama sure is busy expanding his clan hahaha," muttered Madara with a wry smile before shaking his head.

"Perhaps I should settle down soon… create a family as well. The Uchiha clan massacre doesn't seem likely to happen in the future and the Uchiha clan has lost many people over this long and tedious war… nah. I'll just make Izuna contribute to the prosperity of the clan again," snorted Madara as the thought of settling down seemed absurd to his battle-hungry mind.

Madara heard a rustle as he heard something fall from the tree in front of him.

It was a small pale blueish-green egg with blotches of black that had somehow not cracked while falling down.

Madara sensed a weak chakra emanating from the egg.

"… must be fate. Consider this your lucky day." Said Madara as he picked up the egg and brought it inside.
