I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 123 Great-Grandma's "Reward"

Several kilometers away.

As the air swirled slightly, Obito's figure reappeared.

Not far away, Black Zetsu, which looked like a pitcher plant, also emerged from underground.

"How is it?"

"...Hiruko's situation is settled. Next, we need to negotiate with the people from the Land of Demons. Have you found their leader's whereabouts?"

"certainly."

Black Zetsu paused slightly, then added, "By the way, Obito, some interesting things have happened in Konoha lately. Root leader Shimura Danzo has escaped from prison and has been classified as an S-rank rogue ninja... Should we make contact with him too?"

"Danzo..."

Upon hearing that name, a hint of disdain flashed in Obito's eyes, but he still replied earnestly, "I remember, the death of Nagato's previous comrade was inextricably linked to Shimura Danzo, wasn't it? If we try to recruit him into Akatsuki, Nagato will likely strongly object, won't he?"

"That's true. However, everything Danzo has now is thanks to Uchiha Hikaru. He must hate Konoha and the Uchiha clan to the core now, and he can become one of our helpers in destroying the Uchiha."

As for Nagato…”

Black Zetsu paused for a moment: "We can promise him that once Madara's plan is completed, Danzo will be handed over to him to do as he pleases."

—In Madara's plan, Nagato was doomed. Therefore, this promise was just an empty check.

Both Obito and Black Zetsu were well aware of this.

After a brief silence.

Obito nodded: "Alright, you and White Zetsu continue to observe. I'll try to persuade Nagato and the others. If both sides are fine, then go see him."

The words fell.

The two figures disappeared again.

……

Three days after meeting with Shisui.

Hikaru Uchiha finally fulfilled his promise to Fugaku, gathering the younger members of the Uchiha clan together and taking the time to watch their talent show.

Zhishui, rice fire, weasel, spring, six flowers, seven solids...

It's better to say something than to say it.

Itachi's flashy shuriken throwing technique was indeed spectacular. Regardless of its skill level, the visual effects were absolutely amazing.

While watching, Uchiha Hikaru subtly activated his Sharingan, completely copying the talent so he could show it off in other worlds in the future.

Until a group of younger performers finished their performance.

Uchiha Mitsuaki pondered for a moment before offering his comments in turn.

With her current mastery of ninjutsu, she is qualified to offer valuable feedback and guidance to her clansmen, including Shisui, from a high-level perspective.

the end.

Uchiha Hikaru then called Shisui over separately and asked him a few questions about the latter's eye power.

"...Reporting to Grandmother, I have indeed recovered some of my eye power these past few days. If given more time, I should be able to recover to the level of three tomoe...but the Mangekyou Sharingan will be a bit difficult."

Zhi Shui bowed respectfully and spoke in a very respectful tone.

Upon hearing his response, Uchiha Hikaru pondered for a moment: "Then... what if it's like this?"

As they spoke, Uchiha Hikaru slightly leaned forward from the rattan chair, placed a finger on Shisui's forehead, and then secretly activated "Eight Thousand Spears," injecting a wisp of his eye power into Shisui's body. During this process, the two black tomoe in Shisui's eyes trembled gently, then began to rotate, until, when the eye power increased to a certain limit, a third black tomoe suddenly materialized—

Three tomoe!

However, when Uchiha Hikaru continued to inject his eye power, this change gradually stalled, and the expected Mangekyou Sharingan did not appear for a long time.

"...It seems that the kaleidoscope cannot be restored simply by injecting eye power."

"It may require some emotional stimulation, just like when it was first activated."

Uchiha Hikaru wondered if he should try Itachi's method, forcing Shisui's head to watch "The Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre.avi" thousands of times...

But it doesn't really matter.

While Shisui's strength in his three-tomoe form is indeed somewhat reduced compared to his prime, he still possesses the level of an elite Jonin and, theoretically, can temporarily contend against Kage-level opponents using his Susanoo.

—Judging from the original storyline, Susanoo is not very dependent on the eyes. Once it has been successfully activated, even if one goes blind, one can still activate it again using the residual ocular chakra in the mind. For example, Madara Uchiha did this.

On another timeline, Shisui also had the feat of opening Susanoo with one eye.

"...The power of my eyes that I left in your eyes is enough to support a battle in which I use Susanoo. Just in case, I also left two transcribing seals, Amaterasu, which are triggered by seeing a person wearing a black robe with red clouds."

Uchiha Hikaru moved his fingers away and casually instructed, "However, with your skill in eye techniques, you might be able to break the transcription seal and trigger it on your own. When I'm not in the clan, the safety of the Uchiha clan is in your hands."

"I will follow my great-grandmother's teachings."

Zhi Shui nodded solemnly.

Uchiha Hikaru waved his hand and called Izumi and the others over, asking them to try injecting their eye power into each other in turn.

After a series of experiments.

She drew several conclusions:

First, Sharingan that has been activated but degenerated for some reason can be restored by injecting ocular power, but it can only be restored to three tomoe at most.

For example, stopping water flow.

Secondly, injecting ocular power into a normal Sharingan may lead to advancement or it may remain unchanged, depending on the individual. The reason is speculated to be related to each person's level of ocular power development, emotional accumulation, and physical constitution. The higher one's overall qualities, the greater the chance of advancement.

For example, Inahime and Izumi both successfully activated their three-tomoe gems in this experiment.

Third, even if the number of tomoe remains the same, her ninjutsu ability will be slightly improved after she infuses it with her eye power.

For Uchiha Hikaru, this was merely an attempt to verify his inner thoughts.

but……

Fugaku and the others were stunned.

"Great-Grandma can actually help people advance the number of tomoe in their Sharingan?"

"Is this the 'reward' that Great-Grandma mentioned before?"

"Um, Great-Grandma, I've actually been stuck at the second tomoe level for a long time too, could you perhaps...?"

"..."

Uchiha Hikaru glanced at the last person who spoke, thinking to himself, "You're an old man in your fifties, by ninja standards you're practically halfway to the grave, what are you doing here, just joining in the fun..."

However, since the misunderstanding has already been formed...

She simply went along with what these tribesmen wanted and made up a lie without batting an eye:

"As you can see, I do possess a secret technique that can enhance the potential of the Sharingan, but this technique is very energy-consuming and cannot be used frequently."

"If any of you juniors can deliver a performance as outstanding as Shisui and Izumi just now, I may grant you the same reward, depending on the circumstances."

It's true that the consumption is huge.

After all, the eye power injected into Shisui and the others by the "Eight Thousand Spears" was drawn from Uchiha Hikaru himself, and the amount was even more than the total eye power of an ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan.

Only someone with a regenerative constitution could withstand such exertion, and right now she only feels a slight soreness in her eyes; she should recover after a good night's sleep.

"Speaking of which, Kikyo's spiritual power has recovered. I'll take some time in a couple of days to visit her in the world of Kosei for a meal, and then ask her to help 'purify' my evil thoughts once more..."
