Revitalizing the Uchiha clan starts with becoming a Kage.

Ultimately, isn't fusing the Mangekyou Sharingan into the Eternal Eye just a bloodline purification process that's essentially a copy of that?

Fugaku's eyes are also kaleidoscopes.

By transplanting Fugaku's eyes into oneself, absorbing the primal power within his kaleidoscope, and fusing it with the primal power of one's own eyes, the resulting bloodline purification can also allow the eyes to advance!

Of course, no one in the original story has ever accomplished this, so we can only say it's a possibility, not 100% certain. But at least compared to before, the road has been widened considerably.

"Indeed, I was mistaken. Kaleidoscopes are all from the same source. It doesn't mean that you have to have a sibling kaleidoscope. Other eyes may work, it's just that people haven't tried it before."

Jiang Si murmured to himself, and as he spoke, his vision became brighter and brighter. Just as he had said before, this thing was a manifestation of the sublimation or purification of one's own bloodline. It was definitely most suitable between brothers, since there were examples to prove it, but other blood relatives could certainly do it too!

Jiang Si took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his increasingly agitated heart. But then, a thought struck him, and he frowned, saying, "No, clan leader, if you give me your eyes, what will happen to you? You should know very well how serious a loss it will be for us to lose the Mangekyou Sharingan. Your strength might plummet to the Jonin level. If that happens..."

"No, Shoji, giving you my eyes is the most appropriate choice. I've already said that I'm old. I'm not talking about my age, but about this."

Fugaku pointed lightly to his chest, and continued with a hint of self-deprecation.

"Since it's just the two of us here, I'll speak frankly. Shoji, I've always felt like a sinner to our clan. Since becoming the clan leader, I haven't changed the clan's situation at all. I once thought my forbearance could bring true peace, but the facts prove that without you, the clan might have declined because of my misguided leadership. This is my mistake, a sin I must atone for. But you are different, Shoji. Your youth symbolizes the bright future of our clan. Your potential, your magnanimity, your talent, and your vision—I firmly believe that the position of Kage, which the Uchiha clan has longed for generation after generation, will be realized by you. Although it's not Hokage, it's the same as Tsuchikage. You are the hope of our clan!"

"And I have lost the courage and the right to move forward."

"Moreover, my eye technique is telling me that you are the most suitable and only candidate, the one who will become the eternal eye that sees the future for our race, Jiang Si."

As Fugaku spoke, he looked at the commander before him with an unprecedented gentleness and said this.

"A pupil technique? Could it be..."

Jiang Si's expression changed again, and a hint of shock appeared in his pupils.

"So, don't refuse, Shoji, you can take these eyes!"

Then, as if he didn't want to give Shoji any more words of refusal, Fugaku pulled out a bottle of elixir from his pocket, which, in Shoji's suddenly contracted pupils, contained a pair of obviously scarlet eyes, accompanied by waves of familiar and mysterious fluctuations.

"Chief! You!"

Needless to say.

These must be Fugaku's Mangekyou Sharingan!

At this moment, Jiang Si could hardly contain the shock on his face. His clan leader had actually gouged out his eyes long ago!

It must be said that at this moment, this development was far beyond Shoji's expectations. The shock in his heart left him speechless. He could only stare blankly at Fugaku, who still had a gentle expression on his face, with an endless complex expression on his face.

375. Decision and Choice

P.S.: I'm really grateful for everyone's votes and donations!

These were seemingly calm words, but Shoji could hear the unwavering will of Fugaku in them. The mere act of removing his Mangekyou Sharingan beforehand was enough to demonstrate Fugaku's determination.

While the portrayal in the original work might have seemed somewhat subtle and ambiguous, in this life, after personally encountering and experiencing it, Shoji can clearly know that Fugaku and Shisui truly cherish the clan. They may indeed have this or that problem, but at least they are still worthy of the name 'Uchiha'!

One is over-trust.

One is indecisiveness.

In the original work, the two men did bear an undeniable responsibility for the Uchiha clan's predicament, but they cannot be entirely blamed. Humans are ultimately limited. If Shoji had not been a transmigrator and had been involved from the beginning, he might not have made a better choice than Shisui and Fugaku.

After all, Shoji was naive and even foolish at the beginning. However, out of the caution that a transmigrator should have, he made two preparations at the beginning. Now, in Shoji's view, everything in the past is no longer so important, but it is clear that Fugaku is deeply concerned in his heart and cannot sleep day and night.

At this moment, in this special situation.

Two people facing each other directly.

Shoji could clearly sense the weariness and guilt emanating from Fugaku. He truly felt like a sinner to his clan. In the original story, when he ultimately chose not to resist and died at the hands of his own son, he probably felt that he had no hope left. Since that was the case, he might as well be decisive and let his two sons have their way.

Ultimately, Fugaku was also human, and he had his own selfish desires.

Looking at Fugaku now, Shoji had a strong feeling that if there had been even the slightest chance of survival in the original story, Fugaku might not have just given up. After all, he was the most prestigious person in the clan and was deeply respected and loved by his clansmen.

Beneath that gentle face lay a resolute intent.

The pair of Sharingan eyes on the desktop.

Jiang Si took a deep breath and swallowed back the words of persuasion that had just welled up in his heart. He understood that at this moment when the clan leader in front of him had made up his mind, it would be useless for him to say anything. Choosing to agree with his 'atonement' was the greatest respect he could show him.

not to mention.

Shoji also knew how important these Mangekyou Sharingan were to him. Compared to the great risk of transplanting the First Hokage's Wood Release cells to replenish his eye power, it was obviously the best choice to transplant Fugaku's Mangekyou Sharingan!

To put it simply, even if the former succeeds, it only ensures that one's eyes will never lack pupil power. However, the latter can allow one's eyes to undergo another sublimation, although it cannot compare to the true qualitative change from ordinary Sharingan to Mangekyou Sharingan or from Eternal Eye to Rinnegan!

But the advancement from Mangekyou Sharingan to Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

It can also enhance one's eye power!

At the very least, only under the gaze of these eyes could he easily activate the fourth form of Susanoo, and even the ultimate complete form, which was the highest secret technique of the Uchiha clan that could truly suppress the nine tailed beasts!

Back then, Madara Uchiha easily suppressed the nine tailed beasts by using Susanoo in Eternal Eye mode, and then used the powerful eye power of Eternal Eye to control Kurama, which was known as the strongest tailed beast!

All I want is to successfully acquire these eyes!

His future growth potential is comparable to that of Madara Uchiha at his peak!

Moreover, the First Hokage's research on Wood Release cells can serve as preparation for the next stage of the Rinnegan!

The true source of a clan's bloodline.

The true power of all things in the universe can be obtained!

As these thoughts raced through his mind, Jiang Si took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes again.

"Yes, clan leader, I will do my utmost to become the guiding light that leads our clan to see the future and walk the brightest path!"

Shoji prostrated himself on the ground, bowing solemnly to Fugaku in the highest seat with the most standard and respectful gesture, and spoke in the most firm and solemn tone.

This is the ambition of the general, this is the determination of the general, and this is the oath of the general!

"Yes, the future of the clan is entirely in your hands, General!"

With a look of satisfaction on his face, Fugaku said softly.

When his clan broke away from Konoha last year, Fugaku had already considered this idea. He did so partly to atone for the sins committed against the clan, and partly out of personal consideration for the future of his two children. As he himself said, Shoji is the most outstanding one in the clan now, and with Onoki's obvious appreciation, there is no doubt that Shoji has a high probability of becoming the Tsuchikage in the future.

That would fulfill the long-cherished wish of the clan!

Shoji can lead the clan to a brighter future. For both public and private reasons, I will do my best to help Shoji. Not to mention that my eldest son is now Shoji's direct subordinate. If Shoji becomes the Tsuchikage in the future, Itachi's status in the village will definitely rise accordingly!

They were cared for and taught by the general.

Fugaku firmly believes that Itachi will definitely grow into a prominent figure in the ninja world, and the same applies to Sasuke, who is only three years old at the time.

As for why he didn't leave the Mangekyou Sharingan to his son, the reason is simple: even if Fugaku really thought his son was exceptionally talented, the Mangekyou Sharingan isn't something that you can awaken just because you're talented enough!

As the holder of these eyes, Fugaku was well aware of the price he would have to pay. Although he wanted his son to become stronger, he did not want to see him have a similar experience. Moreover, it was not like a real experience would necessarily unlock the powers of the Sharingan. After all, Fugaku could not predict the future. Even though the eye techniques of his Mangekyou Sharingan could allow him to see a glimpse of the future, they were still very limited.

Most importantly, as mentioned earlier, the key to the future trajectory he saw through his unique eye technique lies in Shoji. Considering all these factors, Fugaku will definitely choose to entrust his eyes to Shoji, not Shisui, and certainly not his own children who are only eight and three years old.

If the Mangekyou Sharingan were that easy to activate, it wouldn't be the ultimate secret technique of the Uchiha clan!

The fact that three pairs of kaleidoscopes would appear in their generation at the same time was far beyond Fugaku's expectations. No one can predict the future!

"Yes, Chieftain!"

Shoji straightened up and solemnly took the bottle of nourishing liquid from Fugaku's hand. Upon closer contact, he could vaguely sense the pull of the original eye power, which further confirmed to Shoji that what Fugaku said was the true meaning of his clan's pair of eternal eyes!

The eyes of blood relatives can be fused.

The closer the blood ties between people, the higher the resonance frequency and intensity will be!

My future path hinges on these Mangekyou Sharingan!

Shoji took a deep breath and carefully placed it in his arms. He knew he would have to revise his plan. Although he almost completely believed Fugaku's words, there was no precedent for this in the original story. Only Madara and Sasuke had truly achieved the Eternal Eye through fusion, and both of them had to transplant the eyes of their own brothers to evolve it.

Therefore, transplantation surgery is not difficult.

However, Jiang Si won't just get the eyes today and have them transplanted tomorrow. There will still be some preparations and necessary experiments beforehand, such as adaptation issues and exclusion issues. To put it bluntly, Jiang Si is probably only 50% sure right now. She will only choose to have these eyes transplanted when she is at least 70% or 80% sure.

Otherwise, it would be better to keep these eyes!

"Also, clan leader, there should still be some research on the Kaleidoscope and the Eternal Eye in the clan, right? If possible, could you please make a copy for me? After all, if I were to transplant your eyes, some preparations and experiments would be necessary beforehand!"

"Yes, don't worry, all the information is here!"

Fugaku had indeed made thorough preparations. As soon as Shoji finished speaking, he pulled out another dark scroll from his pocket. Although the clan had left Konoha a year and a half ago in a hurry, resulting in the loss of many things, Fugaku must have taken these key research materials related to the clan's highest secrets.

As Shoji took the scroll from Fugaku, he couldn't help but admire his clan leader's thorough preparation. Although it completely disrupted his previous plans, this unexpected turn of events was actually the biggest surprise.

After all, who wouldn't want to obtain a pair of Eternal Eyes if they could? Obito Uchiha's method seemed to be infinitely close to the Eternal Eyes, but in reality, there was still a certain gap between them and the true Eternal Eyes. It was only because his unique eye technique was too overpowered. Even if a slightly more ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan solved the problem of eye power consumption like Obito, it still couldn't compare to the Eternal Eyes!

In terms of pupil power, the Eternal Eye is definitely superior!

"By the way, Shoji, you clearly didn't understand that I was going to give you my eyes, right? It seems like you had other plans? Do you have another way to upgrade your eyes to the level of the Eternal Eye?"

After all the conversation had ended.

Fugaku seemed to recall Shoji's performance at the beginning.

The contrast between the two is quite obvious.

Fugaku was certain that Shoji had absolutely no idea he would give him these Mangekyou Sharingan. He himself hadn't even considered it; he thought the Eternal Eyes were meant to be shared between brothers.

In other words, Jiang Si had ulterior motives from the beginning.

At that moment, Fugaku looked at Shoji with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Eh? Yes, clan leader, my initial plan wasn't to discuss your Mangekyou Sharingan with you. After all, as you know, I genuinely believed that the Eternal Eye required the Mangekyou Sharingan of brothers to fuse and evolve. Of course, I couldn't possibly know of any other way to obtain the Eternal Eye. It was just that while I was still in Konoha, during my private investigations, I discovered that Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were researching the First Hokage's Wood Release cells, as well as our Uchiha clan's Sharingan research. I accidentally discovered that the First Hokage's Wood Release cells seem to be able to achieve a subtle balance and fusion with our Sharingan!"

"By chance, I obtained the Wood Release cells of the First Hokage. So my original plan was to apply to you to extract a batch of Sharingan from our clan members who died in battle, and then conduct relevant research to see if we could find a way to solve the problem of our clan's Mangekyou Sharingan power consumption from the First Hokage's Wood Release cells!"

In any case, there is indeed relevant research in Konoha. The First Hokage's Wood Release cells on Danzo in the original work, as well as his arm full of Sharingan, are enough to illustrate the point. Don't say that it was the result of the Uchiha clan being wiped out!

Although a large amount of Sharingan material from the Uchiha clan was definitely obtained after their clan was wiped out, Shoji is 100% certain that old man Shimura Danzo must have started related research much earlier!

This is a terrifying power capable of suppressing tailed beasts!

This old silver coin is something that people are more passionate about than anyone else!

Therefore, attributing the blame to Danzo Shimura is absolutely not an insult to him, and there is absolutely no problem with it.

As expected, Fugaku had no doubt about Shoji's source of information. In Fugaku's view, this was indeed something that the high-ranking officials of Konoha would definitely do. He was simply very surprised that Shoji said that the First Hokage's Wood Release cells could have a certain connection with his Sharingan.

"What? The First Hokage's Wood Release cells can resonate with our clan's Sharingan? Shoji, are you sure?"

This was information that their own family had never heard of before.

Fugaku could not hide the surprise on his face at this moment. If what Shoji said was true, then it might not be a bad way out for the Uchiha clan. After all, it is really difficult for a clan to produce two Mangekyou Sharingan at the same time, and it has to be one person helping the other. As for why they can't transplant them to each other.
