I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 120: Three sentences led Shisui to gouge out his eyes.

"...These are the latest comic books and DVDs."

"This is a game console. It has a lot of single-player games installed. You can play it as long as there is electricity."

Uchiha Hikaru demonstrated how to play the game to the Cat Sage, and then watched as the Cat Sage clumsily tried to play it himself.

Hmm...it is a bit clumsy, indeed.

After all, using cat paws to operate a PS3 is really a bit much...

After playing King of Fighters with the lonely old cat for a while and chatting about his training progress for half the night, Uchiha Hikaru finally left the Dragon Ball world and returned to the long-lost Konoha Village.

……

As dawn broke.

It was still that detached villa within the Uchiha clan's compound.

Compared to when I left, nothing in the house had changed. The pillows and blankets on the bed, the books and potted plants on the table... everything was exactly the same except for a bit more dust.

only……

After spending a few weeks in the bustling modern society of the Dragon Raja world, Uchiha Hikaru suddenly felt that the room was a little empty when he returned here.

"Maybe it's time to keep some animals at home..."

Uchiha Hikaru washed his face in front of the mirror, changed into a thicker coat, and then opened the door, preparing to go out for a walk.

As soon as I stepped out of the house, I saw a short figure standing guard at the door, looking on with longing eyes.

"...Sasuke?"

The person who came was indeed Uchiha Sasuke, who was five years old at the time.

Upon seeing Uchiha Hikari, the little boy's eyes lit up: "Oh, Great-Grandma, you're back? Please wait here for a moment, I'll go back right away and tell Father... he has something he wants to discuss with you."

"Um?"

Uchiha Hikaru was a little confused, but since it wasn't anything important, he called Sasuke over and went with him to Fugaku's house.

Fugaku was clearly used to her disappearing for a while and then suddenly reappearing in the clan's territory. After bowing respectfully and greeting her, he got to the point: "Grandma, do you remember when Shisui and the others went out of the village to carry out an investigation mission a while ago...?"

Uchiha Hikaru did indeed remember this incident.

The source of the information is Quan.

Since the Kirigakure attack a month or two ago, members of the Uchiha clan who were sent out of the village on missions have been frequently attacked by "unidentified individuals," and three or four members have gone missing.

Therefore, Konoha dispatched a special ANBU team to investigate the situation, including Jiraiya and Shisui.

Originally, this lineup was quite strong; it could easily handle intelligence gathering, let alone fighting a small-scale battle.

Can……

"...When Shisui and his group were conducting an investigation on the border of the Land of Fire, they encountered a premeditated ambush. Among the attackers were not only the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, but also several powerful individuals of unknown identity. At that time, Jiraiya was not present, and in order to protect his other teammates, Shisui had no choice but to activate Susanoo."

At this point, Fugaku's expression became somewhat complicated: "As you know, that kind of eye technique puts a considerable strain on the body, so..."

"So, Shisui's eyes were gouged out?"

Uchiha Hikaru immediately thought of this possibility.

Is it possible that Shisui's eyes are destined to be gouged out, and even without Danzo, someone else will do it?

But Fugaku was taken aback: "Huh?"

"No... It's just that Shisui's eyesight has deteriorated severely due to excessive consumption of his eye power. Although he successfully repelled the enemy, his vision has deteriorated to the point of near blindness. According to the examination results from Konoha Hospital, he may no longer be able to perform the duties of a ninja."

"Oh……"

That's alright.

If "Kotoamatsukami" falls into the hands of Kirigakure or Obito, the situation would be a little troublesome, but blindness... Uchiha Hikaru doesn't really care.

But for the Uchiha clan, this was a bolt from the blue.

After all, with Fugaku intentionally hiding his abilities, Shisui was the only member of the Uchiha clan with a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan. His retirement meant a weakening of the Uchiha clan as a whole...

"So, you want to ask me if I have a solution to this problem?"

"Yes."

Fugaku nodded: "According to the clan's ancient texts, a kaleidoscope needs to be completed with the eyes of a blood relative to become an eternal kaleidoscope and never lose its light, but it seems you also..."

Uchiha Hikaru pondered for a moment, then said, "Take me to see him."

A dozen minutes later.

Led by Fugaku, Uchiha Hikaru arrived at a mansion located on the other side of the clan's territory.

Cross the courtyard.

Uchiha Hikaru took off his shoes in the hallway, stepping onto the wooden floor in only white socks. After walking a few steps forward, he pushed open the door and entered the room. There he saw Shisui lying on the bed with his eyes covered by gauze, looking somewhat listless. Uchiha Itachi was also there, helping to serve tea and water.

"Great-Grandma, you've arrived."

Hearing footsteps, Shisui on the bed struggled to get up and bow.

After exchanging a few simple pleasantries, Uchiha Hikaru gestured for Fugaku and his son to leave, then got straight to the point: "I have a general understanding of what happened. Now you have two choices. First, as the doctor at Konoha Hospital said, stop using the Mangekyou Sharingan from now on and retire from the ninja ranks."

Second, get a new pair of eyes.

"?!"

Shisui was taken aback: "You mean...find a member of your tribe and transplant his eyes into me?"

"It's not a transplant, it's your own eyes."

Hikaru Uchiha pulled a Senzu Bean from his pocket: "This is a healing elixir that can cure all injuries. Even if your eyes are gouged out, they will grow back. However, I haven't tried it on any Uchiha clan member, so I can't guarantee that these eyes will still be the Mangekyou Sharingan, nor can I guarantee that their vision will be restored..."

To put it bluntly, this is a risky experiment. Do you want to try it?

"Growing a new pair of eyes... is that even possible?"

Shisui was a little surprised.

But Uchiha Hikaru's tone was very confident: "If I say it's possible, then it's possible."

silence.

Much later.

Zhi Shui nodded: "Okay."

Next, Shisui personally gouged out his eyes, put them into a container filled with nutrient solution, and then ate the Senzu Beans.

Sitting next to him, Uchiha Hikaru watched as the flesh and blood in his eye sockets gradually filled up, eventually transforming into a new pair of eyeballs that reappeared.

"How is it?"

"...My vision seems to have recovered, but..."

As Shisui activated his pupil power, two black tomoe appeared in his eyes.

"Tsk, it's dropped that much..."

Uchiha Hikaru was a little disappointed.

She had originally thought that if the newly grown eyes were still kaleidoscopes, she would go to Fugaku to discuss it, and she would provide Senzu beans so that Fugaku could keep digging out eyes and making them grow, artificially creating dozens of pairs of kaleidoscopes so that everyone in the clan could have a pair... It seems that she was just overthinking it.

But at least...

"I'll take these eyes? Consider it payment for restoring your eyesight, is that alright?"

After obtaining Shisui's consent, Uchiha Hikaru put the container containing Shisui's eyes into his pocket.

For Shisui, these nearly blind eyes were useless, and might even become a source of trouble due to the residual pupil power within them. But for her... if Dr. Brief's research made progress in the future, perhaps the genetic defects in these eyes could be corrected, advancing them to the Eternal Kaleidoscope, and then a trustworthy person could be found to install them.

A pair of Eternal Kaleidoscopes with the ability to "Kotoamatsukami" are still quite valuable.
