Chapter 67: Open the Cans!

Shinji's psychological expectations were actually not high.

In his opinion, among the ten cans in front of him, as long as he found his grandmother Uchiha Jiri's pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, the risk taken today would be worth it, even if the other nine cans turned out to be useless!

So, nervously, he opened an old can while activating the 'Susanoo'.

At that moment, after activating the 'Susanoo's third form, there were only two pairs of eye sockets remaining.

In other words, if he wanted to identify other Sharingan, he had to remove the pair of Mangekyō that Uchiha Fugaku had controlled before.

After taking a deep breath, he activated the pupil technique and released the control.

"Ah!"

Soon, a stinging pain came from his eye sockets. Since he had previously controlled two pairs of Mangekyō, activating both the 'Susanoo' and the 'Susanoo's third form' simultaneously was not too difficult.

Now that he had released control of Fugaku's Mangekyō, all the strain fell on his own Mangekyō, and he immediately felt overwhelmed.

Enduring the intense pain, he carefully placed Fugaku's Mangekyō into the new nutrient tank that he had prepared in advance.

Then, he deftly took out the Sharingan from the old tank and held it in his hand.

As the 'Susanoo' was activated again, a beam of light shot out from the empty eye socket, shining on the pair of Sharingan in Shinji's hand and absorbing it into the empty eye socket of 'Susanoo'.

"Ah."

In just a few breaths, the information of this pair of Sharingan entered Shinji's brain, causing him to sigh.

This pair of Sharingan is an ordinary three-tomoe, and due to the long time and lack of maintenance, it has lost all its pupil power and decayed.

After adjusting his mood, Shinji opened the second old jar, took out the Sharingan inside, and then activated Susanoo again to remove the rotten Sharingan and replace it with this pair.

Then he was suddenly stunned and exclaimed, "Mangekyō!"

He opened the second jar and got a Mangekyō! But soon his surprise subsided because he did not feel a blood connection with this pair of Mangekyō.

That is to say, this pair of Mangekyō is not the one that his grandmother Uchiha Jiri had.

Moreover, the owner of this pair of Mangekyō should have used Izanagi before his death. The right eye of the Mangekyō has completely lost its pupil power and light. Only the left eye is still intact, but the loss of pupil power is also very serious.

According to the feedback given by the Susano primordial light, if it is not nourished, the pair of Mangekyō will also rot in half a year at most.

"Fortunately, I took it in time. If it had been delayed, the pair of Mangekyō would probably be useless!"

Shinji was very grateful.

And if the Mangekyō was like this, it would be hard to say how much activity the remaining Sharingan in the jar would have if it was not a Mangekyō.

After removing the pair of Mangekyō, Shinji put it into a brand-new nutrient jar that he had prepared in advance and placed it side by side with Fugaku's pair of Mangekyō.

Then, he opened the third jar, the fourth jar, and the fifth jar—all containing three tomoe.

After opening three consecutive corrupted three tomoe Sharingan, Shinji covered his eyes and took a rest.

Repeatedly activating the 'Susanoo primordial light' put a great burden on his Mangekyō Sharingan, and in just a moment, he felt the stinging pain in his eye sockets intensify.

After a short rest, he looked at the remaining five jars, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

His target this time was the pair of Mangekyō of his grandmother Uchiha Jiri, but he had already opened half of the jars, and there was still no trace of it.

Then he opened the sixth can. After putting on the Sharingan in the sixth can, he was suddenly startled, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"How is it possible!?" This is another pair of Mangekyō, but unlike the previous pair, this pair of Mangekyō has lost all its pupil power.

Even if Shinji uses the 'Susanoo primordial light', he cannot extract a single bit of pupil power from it.

Shinji was stunned for a long time before muttering, "Even the Mangekyō has decayed."

If it were just a pair of three tomoe, its decay wouldn't mean much, but he finally got a pair of Mangekyō, and it also decayed, which made him very uncomfortable.

As he continued to examine these old Sharingan, he gradually discerned the pattern of decay.

Insufficient preservation technology and lack of reasonable maintenance are naturally the main reasons for the decay of these Sharingan.

But in addition to this, the strength of the pupil power of the Sharingan itself is also one of the important factors in whether it decays or not.

The weaker three-tomoe Sharingan, due to lack of maintenance, were the most prone to decay, and many of them were completely corrupted.

The power of the Mangekyō was much stronger than that of the three-tomoe, so it could last longer.

But strictly speaking, the Mangekyō in the jars could not be considered normal Mangekyō because their owners had used "Izanagi" in their lifetime, completely consuming the Mangekyō's power. Thus, they were in very poor condition before they were collected.

This naturally made Shinji worried about his grandmother Uchiha Jiri's pair of Mangekyō.

Because Uchiha Jiri had also used "Izanami", a forbidden technique that would also completely consume the Mangekyō's power, in her lifetime.

After taking down the corrupted pair of Mangekyō, Shinji also put it into a brand-new nutrient jar.

After hesitating for a while, he placed it side by side with the previous two pairs of Mangekyō.

After all, it was once a pair of Mangekyō, and perhaps there was some way to save it. Shinji was really unwilling to give it up.

He looked at the remaining four jars again, and his heart was lifted.

With the example just now, let's not talk about whether Grandmother Uchiha Jiri's pair of Mangekyō is in these four jars. Even if it is, it is still questionable whether it can be used.

He opened the seventh jar, finding a decayed three tomoe Sharingan. He opened the eighth jar, revealing a three tomoe Sharingan in poor condition.

This pair of three tomoe should have been collected relatively recently, so it is relatively well-preserved.

Opening the ninth jar, he found another decayed three tomoe Sharingan.

Looking at the last jar, Shinji was confused.

He had opened two pairs of Mangekyō that were not related to him by blood. If he didn't find his grandmother Uchiha Jiri's pair of Mangekyō, who was the main target, it would be embarrassing!

"I was never so panicked when I drew a limited edition lottery in my previous life."

Rubbing his face with his hands, he opened the tenth jar, then took out the Sharingan inside and held it in his hand to activate the 'Susanoo primordial light'.

Soon, a special feeling was fed back to his mind.

This pair of Sharingan is related to him by blood, or rather, this pair of Mangekyō Sharingan is related to him by blood!

And the preservation of this pair of Mangekyō is better than the previous two pairs.

In other words, the owner of this pair of Mangekyō hardly used its pupil power during his lifetime, except for the blind left eye.
