Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha lacks motivation.

Chapter 73: The buffs are stacking up!

"Your eyes now were pried off the bodies of intruders by that guy Uchiha Yan."

Uchiha Yao explained the origin of Uchiha Gin's current eyes.

"Logically speaking, you shouldn't be able to awaken the Sharingan."

The old man stared at Uchiha Gin's slightly reddened eyes, and he was also somewhat surprised when he learned that Uchiha Gin had awakened his Sharingan.

Eye swapping is not uncommon within the clan, as ordinary Sharingan can be used as consumables due to certain forbidden techniques.

"So what's wrong with my eyes?"

Touching his eye sockets, Uchiha Gin recalled the process of awakening his Sharingan, which seemed inextricably linked to the system. Could it be due to the system's rewards?

There are several possibilities.

Uchiha Yao thought for a moment, then began to explain.

"First, these eyes may have been switched; the eyes you received were indeed from your tribe."

This is unlikely. Back then, Uchiha Miao and Uchiha Yan were well aware of Uchiha Gin's physical condition. If they rashly replaced his Sharingan with the Sharingan, it could have increased the burden on his body and caused secondary damage.

"Secondly, your body has assimilated these eyes."

Assimilation? This was the first time Uchiha Gin had encountered such a blind spot in his knowledge. He looked at Uchiha Yao with a question mark on his face, hoping that he could explain it to him.

"The human eye contains countless blood vessels and lymphatic vessels that maintain its normal function. After an eye transplant, your blood occupies the eye, and the fundamental nature of the eye changes as a result of this blood flow."

Uchiha Yao whispered his guess to Uchiha Gin.

"This is the most likely possibility. After all, I haven't been able to fully unravel the mysteries of the human body even after a lifetime of research."

Uchiha Gin had no choice but to agree.

"Actually, I have another guess."

Just when everyone thought Uchiha Yao's speculation would stop there, he seemed to remember something after a while and spoke up.

"What?"

Uchiha Gin interrupted his own daydreaming and couldn't help but ask.

"Over the years, I have devoted myself to the study of bloodlines. Our clan has obtained a lot of experimental materials during the war. After studying many experimental materials, I accidentally discovered something interesting."

Uchiha Yao's intact eye moved slightly, as if he was recalling something.

Uchiha Gin didn't disturb him; instead, he listened attentively.

"I discovered that several unrelated ninja clans share similar gene chains in their bloodlines. I initially thought it was the result of mutual exchange over a thousand years, but some ninja clans have been enemies for many years, making it impossible for them to exchange genes or intermarry."

"Senju, Uzumaki, Hagoromo, Hyuga, Kaguya..."

Uchiha Yao then recounted the names of several ninja clans in detail.

"And the Uchiha."

These are not all descendants of the Otsutsuki clan. Knowing the plot, Uchiha Gin naturally knew that the aforementioned ninja clans were all descendants of the Otsutsuki clan who had once descended upon the land.

"And your eyes are from the Kaguya clan, specifically a hybrid of Kaguya and Hyuga."

It was only then that Uchiha Yao revealed his true colors to Uchiha Gin.

???

His eyes were taken from a hybrid of the Kaguya and Hyuga clans.

"Wait, let me sort this out, the relationships are a bit messy."

Uchiha Gin was completely dumbfounded when he heard the old man's words. The original owner's eyes had such a complex composition.

He is an Uchiha, his eyes are Kaguya's Hyuga eyes, and the system also gave him the Uzumaki bloodline. Now all he needs is Senju and Hagoromo to stack up the Otsutsuki clan's buffs and rush into the universe.

"Because of the same gene fragments in your bloodline, your eyes have adapted to your body and automatically transformed into Sharingan. If you are a member of the Hyuga clan, you will most likely awaken the Byakugan after getting these eyes."

Is it still adaptive hot-swappable?

"Since you were able to awaken the Sharingan, it means that these eyes are highly compatible with you. With proper nurturing, awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan is just around the corner."

Seeing Uchiha Gin frowning, Uchiha Yao mistakenly thought that the other party was very hostile to outsiders, and tried to comfort him.

"It's not difficult for you to unlock the kaleidoscope; the main problem is lacking a suitable opportunity."

Uchiha Gin once awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, which shows that he has extraordinary talent, and it wouldn't be difficult for him to awaken it again.

"All right."

Uchiha Gin naturally knew the secrets behind the so-called "opportunity" the other party spoke of.

But I have no one I love in this world, nor do I have any deep ties with anyone. How can I open this kaleidoscope?

"I do have a solution, but I don't know if it will work."

Sensing Uchiha Gin's anxiety, Uchiha Yao thought for a moment and then spoke up.

"Grandpa, help me!"

Such a good thing! Uchiha Gin immediately bowed down in worship. What was a little grievance compared to Tsukuyomi?

"Actually, I didn't want you to know about this so soon."

The old man shook his head, turned around, opened a hidden compartment in the wall, and reached in to take out a glass jar.

"These are your father's Sharingan eyes."

With a gloomy expression, Uchiha Yao placed a glass jar containing an eyeball in front of Uchiha Gin.

A pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes were soaking in a bluish-green nutrient solution. Even after losing its owner for many years, Uchiha Gin could still feel the immense power of the eye.

"These eyes recorded the entire process of your father being murdered by Uchiha Tajima. If you have seen them, you will most likely awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Uchiha Yao stroked the glass jar, his tone filled with deep hatred.

Who is telling the truth? Bringing up this topic again gives Uchiha Gin a headache. Apart from his grandfather, Uchiha Yao, everyone else tells the story of his father sacrificing himself to protect his teammates.

This time it's good, let him witness this event with his own eyes.

"If you use the power of your Sharingan to penetrate it, the scene sealed within will naturally appear."

Following Uchiha Yao's guidance, the tomoe in Uchiha Gin's eyes turned slightly, and a cold chakra merged into the Sharingan inside the glass jar.

A strange look flashed in the dim eyes of the man standing to the side as he quietly watched the grandfather and grandson's actions.

As his eye power made contact, Uchiha Gin felt a lightness in his body and entered a third-person perspective.

A curly-haired man was hurrying along, followed by several tribesmen dressed in the same clothes. All of them were injured, and kunai and shuriken kept flashing past them, reminding them that they were being chased.

"Captain, they're following too closely!"

The boy who spoke was Uchiha Gin's cousin, Uchiha Tajima, from his appearance. He was about twenty years old at the time, but his demeanor was as calm and composed as an old man.

"Don't panic, I'll hold them off for a bit, you just need to retreat."

The curly-haired man had a gentle, warm voice that instantly won people over. His confident tone made people feel at ease.

"Ah Jin, don't try to be a hero, I'll go with you."

A cold and beautiful woman standing right next to him glared at him and said through gritted teeth.

"I'll stay too!"

Young Uchiha Tajima also spoke out.

"Stop arguing, I can go by myself. You'll only be a burden to me if you stay."

Uchiha Kin shook his head.

"You guys go and meet up with Feng Huo first, I'll catch up soon."

With that, Uchiha Kin turned to face the enemy.

"That damned guy!"

The aloof woman was furious when she saw Uchiha Kin covering their retreat alone. She turned to the young Tajima and said...

"Tajima, you retreat first. I'm worried about your brother-in-law."

After saying that, she chased after the man's retreating figure.

Uchiha Tajima, who had stopped walking, had a conflicted look in his eyes. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he turned around and followed.

"Why did you still come? I told you to leave first."

Uchiha Kin, trapped in the encirclement, saw the two arriving and anxiously shouted,

How could I abandon my family?

The aloof woman drew her weapon with a slightly cold expression, while the boy Tajima beside her simply nodded before activating his Sharingan to prepare for battle.

After a bloody battle, the three fought and retreated. Just as they were about to speed up their escape, a dramatic change occurred.

"Tajima, what are you doing!"

Exhausted, Uchiha Kin stared in disbelief at the samurai sword protruding from his stomach, then turned with difficulty to look at the crazed Uchiha Tajima.

"Brother-in-law, I'm sorry, but if you don't die, I won't be able to inherit the position of clan leader."

With a forceful twist of his hand, a huge amount of blood gushed from Uchiha Kin's wound, and he trembled and fell backward.

"No!!!"

The final scene shows Uchiha Tajima's cold and lonely back view, and the desperate cry of the beautiful but aloof woman.
