Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

"Shisui entrusted Kotoamatsukami to Itachi, which Shisui designed to protect Konoha. It's not very practical, no wonder Sasuke didn't try to use it."

"I wonder if my idea can be realized?"

Chapter 188 Orochimaru's Research Results

A shelter built by Konoha.

A large number of villagers live here, mostly women, the elderly and children.

Holding Sasuke the cat, Sakura walked through the crowd and quickly found Ino. Ino also saw Sakura, and the two met but remained silent.

“I regret it…” Ino said.

"What's the use of regretting it?" Sakura said helplessly.

"Sasuke arrived suddenly and deliberately waited for half a month, until some villagers could no longer hold out and had to return to the village. He would then suddenly appear and make his move while the villagers were working to earn a living."

"At that time, the situation was completely unstoppable and impossible to defend against."

“After hearing about Sasuke’s experiences, I felt sorry for him, but now…” Ino sighed.

"Seeing so many families grieving because of the loss of husbands, sons, and fathers, I felt that Sasuke was despicable."

"Do you see that boy over there? He was shouting that he wanted to avenge his father when he was still awake."

"Although that woman only cried and didn't say anything, it was clear that her hatred for Sasuke was extremely intense."

"besides…"

Sakura remained silent as she listened to Ino's quiet words and looked in the direction Ino indicated.

“Sasuke is determined to destroy the village because of hatred, and these people also want to kill Sasuke because of hatred,” Ino murmured.

"Is there no way to get rid of hatred? No matter how I look at it, it's a vicious cycle."

Although family and friends are safe and sound, they have not actually experienced the taste of hatred.

Ino was just thinking about it...

Who killed the person she loved most, the most important person, and the person she cherished most? At that time, was she able to let go of her hatred and forgive the other person?

After all, revenge only leads to more revenge. Someone has to choose to let go of hatred, otherwise, the cycle of revenge will never end.

Honestly, Ino couldn't do it; she would definitely seek revenge.

"Don't overthink it, don't get stuck on it, and don't make trouble for yourself," Sakura said.

"We are human, not gods. We can't be perfect in every way. As long as we have a clear conscience and do what we believe is right and within our power, that's enough."

Knowing that hatred is an unsolvable problem, Ino shook her head and stopped thinking about it, glancing sideways: "What's going on with this little cat?"

Sakura didn't hide anything and told the truth.

“I see…” Ino said.

"Do you know how to raise a pet? You're so busy usually, you probably don't have time. How about I take care of it..."

"No need," Sakura said without hesitation. "No matter how busy I am, it won't stop me from taking care of my cat. Don't forget I have shadow clones."

"Then let me keep it for a while." Ino said, "Don't be so stingy. It's not like you can't share Naruto. It's just a cat, which you can share."

“It’s just a cat…you make it sound so easy!” Sakura said.

"This is no ordinary cat. It's one of a kind in the whole world, and it's the cat that Naruto entrusted to me. This is very meaningful."

“Stingy…” Ino muttered.

"Naruto wanted to keep a cat, Hinata couldn't stand it, so it ended up with me," Sakura muttered to herself, picking up Sasuke the cat.

"Rounding it up, this is my son with Naruto! Son, Mommy will love and cherish you, my sweetie."

"..." Sasuke the cat.

"Son...son? You bastard!" Ino was stunned.

"Do you think we should neuter them?" Sakura hesitated. "I heard that neutering is better for cats and can reduce the occurrence of many diseases."

Sasuke the cat's fur stood on end.

“If it were an ordinary cat, we would just neuter it, but this is a one-of-a-kind, rare cat,” Ino said in a strange tone.

"If Naruto wasn't lying, it would be better to keep them alive to reproduce more and avoid extinction."

“That makes sense.” Sakura nodded, then couldn’t help but chuckle, “Look, the moment they heard they were going to be castrated, their fur stood on end.”

"Ninja cats, of course, must be highly intelligent." Ino said dismissively.

Unaware of all this, Naruto created Six Paths clones, Pain and Deva, from Itachi's corpse to replace the empty shell of Hamura.

Back in the ninja world, control Itachi to use the Summoning Jutsu to summon a crow implanted with Shisui's Sharingan.

Take this kaleidoscope and go find Orochimaru.

"Oh! Transplanting and fusing the Mangekyou Sharingan of a brother can advance it into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, whose eye power will never run dry!" Orochimaru said in surprise and confusion.

What is the principle behind this? What is the scientific basis for it?

"Regardless of the principle, as long as there's a path to follow," Naruto said.

"Quickly, bring me the kaleidoscope I gave you. I'll try to fuse it into an Eternal Eye."

Orochimaru, who was deep in thought, glanced at Naruto, turned around and left: "Come with me, I'll show you something interesting."

Naruto followed Orochimaru to a wall, where Orochimaru formed hand seals, and the wall opened wide. Naruto followed curiously.

Inside the enormous container at the very end, a huge horn came into view.

“The Eight-Tails’ horns…” Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"Oh dear, this must be your first time seeing this," Orochimaru said, surprised.

It appeared in the story, of course I remember.

Naruto waved his hand, puzzled, and asked, "The interesting thing you're talking about, is it...?"

“There.” Orochimaru pointed.

Naruto looked closely and then realized that there was something else inside the enormous container that held the Eight-Tails' horn.

How do you describe that strange thing?

Meat balls.

It's about a little smaller than a football.

This fleshy ball is round and plump, with two duck-like little feet. On top of this fleshy ball, there is a slit that looks a lot like an eyelid, and the eyelashes are not short.

"I've been studying this kaleidoscope ever since I got it," Orochimaru said.

"I won't go into the details of the failure, I'll just state the conclusion."

"I discovered that the Mangekyou Sharingan reacts to natural energy, the chakra of the Tailed Beasts, and Hashirama's cells."

"The power of the pupil cannot be replenished; this common sense about kaleidoscopes has been shattered."

"I used Hashirama cells, Jugo... He was an experimental subject that I obtained by chance. He can absorb natural energy, but his drawback is that he can go out of control."

"Interstitial cells, Jugo cells, seven-tailed cells, eight-tailed cells."

Tailed beasts have flesh and blood, so naturally they also have cells.

"It's a carrier I cultivated using these four types of cells. It doesn't look very appealing, but it's usable and effective."

Orochimaru smiled slightly and continued.

"Experiments have shown that this can slowly restore pupil function."

"Single seven-tailed cells or eight-tailed cells are also effective, but the speed will be slower. Combining both can improve the recovery speed."

"Therefore, I have reason to believe that the cells of other tailed beasts have the same function, and the more types there are, the faster the recovery speed."

"Considering that the Mangekyou Sharingan is above the Rinnegan, let's boldly speculate whether this method can elevate the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Of course, it may take a long time, as long as an ordinary person's lifetime, or even longer."

Naruto looked closely and, just as Orochimaru had said, the power of his eyes within the Mangekyou Sharingan had slightly recovered.

It's to the point that it's undetectable without careful observation.

Chapter 189 Eye-Catching!

“It is indeed a great discovery.” Naruto nodded in agreement.

The power of the Kaleidoscope can be replenished and restored, meaning that Kotoamatsukami has another chance to be used.

"So, do we still need to merge?" Orochimaru asked.

"Success would be great, but if it fails... it's very likely that both kaleidoscopes will have to be scrapped."

“That’s unnecessary.” Naruto shook his head. “I’ll just use it as is. Take it out and give it to me.”

"Take it out?" Orochimaru was taken aback, then suggested, "It would be better to keep it in the container. This little guy has a defect; it won't live long without the nutrient solution."

“I can restore my eye power myself, I don’t need to leave it here,” Naruto said.

Seeing Naruto's insistence, Orochimaru stopped trying to dissuade him. He stepped forward, formed hand seals, summoned the artificial little life form with Shisui's Sharingan installed, and dug out the Sharingan.

"No need, just give it to me." Naruto said, seeing that Orochimaru was still looking for a special container to store his eyes.

Thus, Shisui's Sharingan was complete, now in a pair.

Because Shisui limited his left eye to protecting Konoha, its usefulness was greatly reduced.

Fortunately, my right eye doesn't have this problem and can adjust itself.

"What have you been researching lately?" Naruto asked casually, observing the Sharingan.

“An artificial human,” Orochimaru said.

"An artificial human?" Naruto glanced sideways.

"You won't let me attack Sasuke-kun, and Itachi Uchiha is too strong. I'm not confident I can take him down," Orochimaru said with a smile.

“This little guy gave me an idea.”
