Vision

"I can still see for now, but not for much longer."

Fugaku's tone was somewhat sad. After finally awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, such a powerful force, it couldn't last.

Would Itachi go blind in the future?

Would Natsuki go blind in the future?

Natsuki noticed Fugaku's reluctance and chuckled, "Clan Leader, you don't need to worry. There are two ways to restore the Mangekyō Sharingan's vision."

"Oh!?" Fugaku's spirits lifted, looking at Natsuki with anticipation.

Natsuki pondered momentarily, "Clan Leader, you know the five basic chakra natures in the ninja world: Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, and Lightning."

"Our Sharingan activation, however, is Yin Release, separate from these five natures."

"Yin Release!?" Fugaku repeated, hearing the term for the first time.

"Yes, Yin Release. This concept will only be recognized a decade from now. Yin Release is related to spiritual power."

"For example, our Sharingan and the Yamanaka clan's Mind Transfer Jutsu are both powers of Yin Release."

"As our Sharingan evolves, the chakra of Yin Release increases, making people more melancholic."

"Tobirama, that simpleton, didn't understand Yin Release chakra and thus labeled the Uchiha clan as evil. Truly laughable."

Natsuki's tone was filled with sarcasm towards Tobirama Senju. Despite Tobirama inventing many jutsus, his prejudice against the Uchiha remained due to the era and family feuds.

If Tobirama, with his scientific mind, had studied Uchiha's Yin Release seriously, Konoha wouldn't be the way it is now.

Only Orochimaru can be considered a pure researcher in the entire Naruto world, while Tobirama was merely a genius ninja.

"Is that so!?" Fugaku was shocked. He knew about Tobirama's history with Madara Uchiha but thought Tobirama's hostility was solely due to his brother's death. He hadn't realized there was more to it.

Natsuki continued, "Naturally, there is also Yang Release. The chakra of Yang Release is found in the Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan."

"The Uzumaki clan's vast chakra and vitality."

"The Senju clan's strong physique and regenerative abilities."

"Even the Akimichi clan's expansion jutsu is related to Yang Release chakra."

"Clan Leader, have you heard the legends about Hashirama Senju?"

Fugaku nodded.

"Of course."

Growing up, Fugaku had heard stories about Hashirama Senju, who was hailed as the God of Shinobi.

"Instant healing!?" Fugaku had a sudden realization.

Natsuki nodded, "Hashirama Senju had a rare Sage Body, so his body was filled with vitality, allowing him to heal without hand seals."

"So, Clan Leader, the first method is to inject Hashirama's cell solution."

"Injecting the cell solution merges Yin and Yang, producing the power of creation."

"Hashirama's cell solution?" Fugaku frowned.

"Hashirama Senju has been dead for many years. Where would we get his cell solution?"

Natsuki laughed, "Why do you think Orochimaru defected?"

"Hmm?" Fugaku knew about Orochimaru's human experiments.

"After Hashirama's death, Konoha always wanted to replicate Wood Release users, so they experimented with his cells."

"During the ninja wars, there were plenty of enemies for human experiments. After the wars, they had to use their own villagers."

"Did Orochimaru succeed?" Fugaku asked.

Natsuki shook his head, "It was a partial success and a partial failure."

"Hashirama's cells were too powerful. They experimented on sixty infants. Only one survived, the rest turned into trees."

"Turned into trees." Fugaku fell silent. He didn't think he was much stronger than others.

"And the second method?"

"The second method is to upgrade the Mangekyō Sharingan to the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, though the cost is very high."

Natsuki paused, "Why do you think the Uchiha's Sharingan is called a cursed eye?"

"It's because the second method requires transplanting a blood relative's Mangekyō Sharingan."

"Combining two Mangekyō Sharingan awakens the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan."

"Madara Uchiha transplanted his brother Izuna's eyes, evolving into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, becoming a rival to Hashirama."

"Hahaha, great! Great! This means Itachi can preserve his vision."

"And he can become an Eternal Mangekyō user! Wonderful!"

Fugaku wasn't saddened. His first thought was to give his eyes to Itachi, which would allow him to achieve the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and become a powerful ninja.

Natsuki found Fugaku's enthusiasm amusing, "Clan Leader, you're too optimistic. Sasuke is also highly talented. Awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan is only a matter of time."

Fugaku's expression stiffened. It must be true if Natsuki said Sasuke would awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Not only did Natsuki have the ability to glimpse the future, but he also acknowledged Sasuke's talent.

Now, what should he do? Both his sons might go blind. How could he choose between them?

Suddenly, Fugaku's eyes lit up as if he thought of something.

Natsuki preemptively dismissed the idea, "Don't think about giving one eye to each. Only by transplanting both eyes can one awaken the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan."

Fugaku felt discouraged.

Turning back, he saw Natsuki chuckling.

"Natsuki, you have a solution, don't you?"

"Hahaha, do you know why I insisted on the Uchiha clan becoming independent? And why I wanted all the ANBU spies removed?"

Fugaku looked at Natsuki intently.

Natsuki clenched his fist, "I want the Uchiha clan to stand at the pinnacle of the world! I want the Uchiha clan to become the strongest force!"

Natsuki deeply breathed, "I want every Uchiha to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan!"

"Every Uchiha to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan!?"

Fugaku's eyes gleamed with excitement! A clan where everyone possessed the power of gods! Such an Uchiha!

Fugaku could envision Susanoo flattening lands and conquering nations wherever the Uchiha went!

"It doesn't matter if you give your eyes to Sasuke or Itachi. Mikoto still has a pair of Sharingan."

Natsuki's words pulled Fugaku back to reality.

He frowned, "Even if Mikoto awakens the Mangekyō, if she gives up her eyes, she won't be able to see."

It seemed Fugaku was a loving husband, willing to go blind himself but not letting Mikoto go blind.

Natsuki rolled his eyes, "Why be so stubborn? We have plenty of Sharingan from our deceased clan members. Just transplant a pair back. They won't have Mangekyō abilities, but they'll still work."

??? Fugaku felt as if a new door had opened!

That's right. He could do that. Even after transplanting his Mangekyō Sharingan, he could still use other eyes.

Even without Susanoo's power, he would still be able to see.

During the Third Ninja War, many Uchiha died, and the clan collected their Sharingan for research, but lacking the necessary talents, they remained unused.

"Natsuki, do you know how to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan?"

Fugaku looked at Natsuki with bright eyes.

Natsuki pointed to his own eyes, "Of course. There's a method, but it requires certain conditions and talent."

"Having a method is already great." Fugaku sighed.

The Mangekyō Sharingan was only recorded in the clan's secret history for years.

In modern times, he was the only one to awaken it, and he did so by chance.

"Now that we've moved our clan territory and removed the ANBU spies, the Clan Leader can give the order."

"Order? What order?"

"To have children!" Natsuki said seriously.
