Chapter 255

Upon saying this, Kaito slightly sat upright and then slowly closed his eyes before speaking calmly.

"Firstly, about the eyes. You're not mistaken. My eyes have indeed changed, because above the Mangekyou, there exists an even more incredible pair of eyes!"

At this point, Kaito suddenly opened his eyes. Instantly, an overwhelming power began to surge out.

Facing this force, even Shisui felt a sudden fear rise within him. Those mysterious eyes with dual patterns slowly rotated within Kaito's sockets.

"You can refer to these eyes as 'Eternal Eyes', because no matter how you use them, they will never suffer from the consequence of blindness due to overuse of the eye's powers," Kaito spoke in a deep voice.

"Besides, these eyes are not something an ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan can compare with. The power they hold is just too terrifying and too strong. I believe you can feel it."

"Yes, I can feel it," Shisui replied earnestly, nodding. To describe these eyes as merely 'powerful' seemed an understatement.

Even for someone at Shisui's Mangekyou level, gazing into those eyes gave him a dizzying sensation, as if he was under a genjutsu, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Furthermore, without Kaito doing anything, the power emanating from those eyes alone was enough to suffocate him. He couldn't imagine what it would be like if these eyes were used in battle. And how did Kaito obtain such powerful eyes? He had never heard of them before.

"In fact, for the Uchiha clan, these eyes have always been an extreme secret," Kaito began, sensing what Shisui might be pondering.

"Because to obtain these eyes, it's not something you can achieve through individual power alone. Specifically, these eyes require the fusion of another Mangekyou. I think you've realized, though both of us possess the Mangekyou, we have significant differences. My strength lies in controlling jutsu, and my chakra is vast. Your forte, on the other hand, lies in taijutsu. Your speed and your reaction time are your most formidable abilities. As for the eye techniques, one shouldn't worry. The eye techniques manifest based on what we deeply desire when they are awakened. What truly matters is our innate abilities."

Kaito's words left Shisui deep in thought, a question he had never seriously considered before.

But now, through Kaito's explanation, he truly realized the differences caused by the Mangekyou.

Such differences seemed to segregate two specific abilities, and each person was proficient in just one of these powers.

With this in mind, Shisui looked at Kaito with confusion. He wondered whose eyes Kaito had taken. Could it possibly be Itachi's?

"Don't let your imagination run wild. My situation is somewhat unique and special," Kaito said, seeing the look on Shisui's face and cutting him off with some annoyance.

"Moreover, using someone else's eyes often leads to specific complications, even causing one's own eyes to become completely useless.

The power of the Eternal Eyes is immense, and its requirements are stringent. However, someone has unlocked these eyes before: Uchiha Madara! Madara's Eternal Eyes were a fusion of his and his younger brother's eyes, which gave me a significant hint.

The key to the birth of the Eternal Eyes lies in brothers. The power of the Eternal Eyes is divided in two, much like you and me. And to restore the inherent power of these eyes, the best candidates are siblings.

But both siblings must possess the Mangekyou for a fusion to be possible.

Once fused, the result is a pair of perfect eyes that can enhance jutsu, physique, and chakra!

Perhaps these eyes are the true Mangekyou Sharingan."

Kaito's words left Shisui increasingly dazed. He had never dreamt that his Mangekyou was, in essence, incomplete.

However, on further thought, if they were normal eyes, wouldn't they go blind more quickly with use?

Additionally, splitting a pair of eyes to boost jutsu on one hand and physique on the other was indeed peculiar and strange.

But, if such pairs were combined, the resulting eyes would indeed be perfect!

Yet, as Kaito pointed out, obtaining such eyes is an unimaginably difficult task.

It's already hard enough to awaken the Mangekyou, so for two siblings to unlock these eyes together is almost beyond comprehension.

The most crucial point is that to fuse these eyes, one has to act against their own brother, whether older or younger. Not everyone can do such a thing!

"So, what about your eyes?" 

After holding back for a while, Shisui couldn't resist anymore. He looked intently at Kaito and asked.

"I don't have a brother. Logically, I shouldn't possess these eyes."

Kaito gently shook his head, then spoke with utmost seriousness.

"But what's peculiar is, during my battle with Uchiha Madara, I felt a power erupting within me. 

That power seemed to be from the arm I prepared for you. Supported by that force, my eyes inexplicably achieved a breakthrough.

Now, I can constantly feel a power within me, a power I've never used before."

Kaito's answer left Shisui stunned once again, as he realized that according to Kaito's words, such achievements were indeed impossible for him.

He did not doubt Kaito's words. As a clan leader, Kaito surely had access to various detailed clan documents.

Moreover, Shisui genuinely felt the strength of Kaito's eyes and the transformation that the white arm brought to him. However, the power endowed by that white arm seemed to differ slightly from Kaito's description.

Regardless, he no longer had to worry about using his ocular powers. 

Furthermore, his physical condition was undergoing astonishing changes, and his chakra was steadily increasing.

At this thought, Shisui felt a surge of excitement.

He had always thought that the Mangekyou was the pinnacle, but now it seemed there was a special power above the Mangekyou waiting!

Those true Mangekyou eyes, they are perfect, fully unleashing the power of the Mangekyou.

Although Shisui wasn't obsessed with power, deep down, he yearned for constant improvement.

He used to think there was no path ahead, but now he sees a brand new way. How could he not be tempted?

Especially after following Kaito for these years, he realized some matters couldn't be resolved merely by reasoning.

He also needs to have enough strength. When reasoning doesn't work, he has to "talk physics" with others. Only in this way can many things truly resonate with people.

"It seems I have a new goal."

Shisui murmured, his gaze becoming firm.

"Although my experiences might not be reliable because I'm unsure if my situation can apply to everyone."

Seeing Shisui's reaction, Kaito immediately decided to offer a word of caution.

"But regardless, we are moving in the right direction. Moreover, some issues might be solvable through technological means."

"Technological means?"

Shisui was somewhat puzzled by Kaito's words and rubbed his head, asking,

"You mean those devices that exploit chakra for some unfair advantage, or just regular communication equipment?"

The development of technology in the ninja world is extremely unbalanced. Perhaps this is due to the suppression of the world's will.

Moreover, in the presence of supernatural powers, some technologies might not seem that impressive.

And if one were to think a bit more cynically, the ninja system might intentionally or unintentionally suppress the technological system to ensure their dominance in the ninja world.

Thus, in this world, technological advancement mainly focuses on improving daily life, but in terms of weaponry, it's quite lacking.

In any case, Kaito hasn't seen any powerful weapons, and he holds this perspective.

The key is to utilize the power of chakra. As long as technology benefits the lives of the general public, that's enough. That's how the world operates.

However, there are also some interesting developments, like...

"Cloning."

Kaito looked at Shisui, smiled, and then pointed at him.

"Though I'm not sure if it's feasible, or exactly how it's done, shouldn't we research the differences between two clans with unique physical traits? 

Find the key difference and clone oneself using their own cells.

Then find a way to transfer one's consciousness into this cloned body and attempt to activate the Mangekyou again.

Tell me, if we go through with this, might we obtain a new pair of eyes?"

Hearing Kaito's words, Shisui was utterly taken aback. He had never imagined that Kaito would entertain such a perilous idea.
