Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Sasuke remained expressionless, giving Naruto one last look before not calling him "loser" again in a friendly manner.

Those jet-black eyes suddenly turned bright red.

The three tomoe in each eye rotated continuously, creating new patterns, and a kind of eye technique similar to Kamui was instantly formed.

In an instant, Naruto's Shadow Clone Technique, which was comparable to an endless array of shadow clones, was instantly disintegrated in mid-air.

Naruto's body suddenly became incredibly heavy, as if it were frozen in amber, making it extremely difficult to even move a finger.

All he could hear was the whistling wind; he could only fall helplessly downwards, watching himself drift further and further away from Sasuke.

Naruto raised his right hand with slight trembling, as if he wanted to touch his friend who was out of reach.

Just as Naruto was about to land, Sasuke imbued him with spatial powers, allowing him to land unharmed.

The others quickly surrounded Naruto, while Sasuke slowly turned around, his eyes filled with blood and tears, and flew towards the airship with only a vague sense of direction.

"I'm sorry, Naruto, you were my only bond..." Sasuke staggered back into the airship, slumped down alone, and muttered to himself.

At this moment, Hiruko appeared in the airship at some point. He sighed and said, "Didn't I tell you? Try to use your eye techniques as little as possible until your eyes are fully recovered. Look at your eyes now, you're almost half blind."

Hiruko couldn't help but mutter, "Although the presence of Hashirama cells can slowly restore your vision, the Ashura chakra contained within can even allow your eyes to transform to a higher level."

"But it's best to use your eye techniques recklessly only after you've completed your transformation. If you continue to use them so recklessly, your eyes will be completely ruined."

At that point, unless you transplant your brother's eyes, I'm afraid no other means will be of any use.

Hiruko has already thoroughly researched Sasuke's eye techniques. The energy consumption of these two eye techniques is something that ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan cannot withstand.

After just one use, the durability of your eyes will plummet, and if you use both eyes at the same time, the consumption will be even more terrifying.

If Hiruzen hadn't been so pleased with himself when he captured Lady Mikoto that he transplanted the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai into Sasuke, Sasuke's eyes would probably already be irreversibly damaged.

Without Itachi's eyes to replace his own, Sasuke is destined to go blind in the future.

Amenominaka no Sukami is the power of Sasuke's double eye technique. Because the power of one eye's Mangekyou Sharingan is limited and cannot withstand such a high-level eye technique, both eyes are needed to bear this eye technique together.

According to ancient Japanese texts such as the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, Amanomiminakanushi is one of the gods of the otherworld in Japanese mythology who created the world.

It is the original sovereign god of the universe, symbolizing the foundation, center, and order of the universe.

From a certain abstract perspective, the concept of order and center in the universe is closely related to spatial structure, and its existence lays the foundational framework for the entire universe.

Having acquired the Mangekyou Sharingan, which possesses the power of "Amenominakanushi," Sasuke has absolute control over spatial abilities, making him, in a sense, Obito's nemesis.

This was also because after seeing Obito's seemingly unbeatable Sharingan, Sasuke secretly competed with him, yearning to possess the Mangekyou Sharingan, which was also born from spatial power.

Hiruko continued, "You must have used this ability of Amaterasu no Minakanushi on others before, right?"

Otherwise, if someone with Hashirama cells occasionally used their pupil technique on themselves, their vision shouldn't have regressed.

Hiru sighed. He suddenly felt that investing in Sasuke might not be a wise choice.

This little guy is too emotional and doesn't cherish his body at all. It seems that because he knows that Hiruko has the ability to resurrect the dead, he has the illusion that he can squander it at will.

You little rascal!

Chapter 177 Mrs. Mikoto's Love!

You little rascal!

If we continue to neglect and neglect his training, my future star fighter might die unexpectedly, leaving me with nothing.

"I'll be more careful next time," Sasuke said calmly.

"Um... is there anything that can restore my eyesight quickly?" Sasuke then asked somewhat awkwardly.

According to Orochimaru's intelligence, Konoha has already begun to take action against Itachi and Kisame. If they delay any longer, he fears he might miss the best opportunity to perfectly complete the mission.

He originally planned to wander around the area around Konoha and Sunagakure, intending to use the Nine-Tails' power within Naruto to attract the attention of lone Akatsuki members.

By keeping them preoccupied with their advice, he could then seize the opportunity to obtain the necessary intelligence.

However, fate played a cruel trick on him, and he unexpectedly encountered Naruto.

During their conversation, Naruto suddenly became serious, and the situation veered off course, leading to the current predicament.

He was secretly annoyed, feeling that he had acted impulsively and now he had to clean up the mess.

Hiruko muttered irritably, "If I want to restore my eyesight, do I have to get a new pair of eyes?"

We need to find a way to make up for this loss.

He pondered that the interstitial cells might be a solution, and that a month of rest might allow them to repair themselves automatically. But was there a way to quickly replenish his pupil power?

Should they proceed with surgical transplantation, ignoring the risks and clinging to the last glimmer of hope?

Alternatively, transplanting the eyes of a direct relative into oneself might evolve into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he felt it was inappropriate and that he shouldn't let Sasuke use others so easily.

At this point, Orochimaru suggested continuing to inject Hashirama's medicine to increase the amount of Wood Release in his body.

Hiruko casually replied, "Of course, if I were to extract Naruto Uzumaki's chakra, it should also replenish my eye power."

"After absorbing it, your eyes might even regress to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, or perhaps even fuse with more power and evolve into the Rinnegan."

"Naruto? Sasuke bit his lip. He had just severed ties with that loser, how could he possibly go to him to borrow his eyes!"

Just then, Mrs. Mikoto, who had been hiding outside the door, slowly walked in after eavesdropping.

She could keenly sense her son's embarrassment and resentment, and as a mother, she felt she should do something.

As for her Mangekyou Sharingan, it had actually been activated on the night of the massacre of her clan, but Sasuke was unaware of it.

In this world, his mother also possesses great power.

Mikoto Uchiha was unaware that she had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, in the past few days, as Hiruko continuously injected her with the essence of energy, her strength also increased accordingly, naturally triggering this power.

She patted her head, feeling as if it were all a dream. Therefore, her kaleidoscope ability is "A Great Dream," which can plunge people into a beautiful dream.

“Sasuke, accept these eyes. Hiruko’s technique will allow you to completely absorb the power of these eyes and obtain the power of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan,” Mrs. Mikoto said gently.

“Mother, I don’t need these powers,” Sasuke refused.

Uchiha Mikoto, however, unleashed her dazzling Mangekyou Sharingan and said firmly, "Sasuke, even if my son and I have different choices regarding life and destiny, you and your brother have always been sons I am proud of. As your mother, I will always stand by your side."

"I understand your thoughts. I suppose you now know the whole truth and may not be able to accept that your brother continues to manipulate your life, nor can you accept what I have seen."

But accept your mother's power; after all, she will only be by Hiruko's side in the future and will not need this power at all.

"If you have ambitions you wish to achieve, the power of the Eternal Kaleidoscope is indispensable."

Mikoto Uchiha uses simple and unadorned words to demonstrate the deepest love parents have for their children—unconditional support.

She didn't act on impulse; she had already given the matter of her two sons a lot of thought.

"Mom..." Sasuke clenched his fists, his emotions running high.

"In that case, let's begin." Hiruko gently stroked his chin, his expression serious, and said slowly.

For him, the stronger Sasuke is, the better.

If we could proactively strengthen Sasuke's power, that would be an excellent suggestion.

Furthermore, Mrs. Uchiha Mikoto's eye problem can be completely solved using cloning technology.

We cloned a pair of eyes for her, just like the originals, without any problems.

"Go and make proper arrangements for the cloning-related matters. That being said, it doesn't matter if information is leaked," Hiruko thought to herself.

Although there are only known cases of brothers successfully fusing the Mangekyou Sharingan, for him, perfectly fusing another pair of Mangekyou Sharingan would be a piece of cake.

Moreover, there is no need for a long wait; it can be integrated like a hot-swappable device, just like in the later stages of Naruto, without any rejection reaction.

Unlike in the original work where Sasuke fused with Itachi's eyes, he didn't need to cover them for a period of time to adapt.

Meanwhile, in a secluded hideout, Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki were resting.

Suddenly, the intelligence agent White Zetsu appeared in a hurry, reporting the recent situation in a flustered manner.

According to intelligence sources, Naruto Uzumaki's obsession with Sasuke remains undiminished, while Sasuke Uchiha has ruthlessly rejected him.

Furthermore, Sasuke Uchiha mentioned one person multiple times—Hiruko.

"Beiluhu?"

As Itachi Uchiha murmured the name, a strange sense of tension welled up inside him, as if this person he had never heard of was extremely important to him.

The situation seemed to have spiraled out of control and was beyond his grasp.

Even Itachi Uchiha, who was known for his impeccable composure and absolute rationality, couldn't help but feel flustered when it came to his younger brother.

"That Hiruko possesses overwhelming power against Orochimaru and is an extremely dangerous individual."

"How could Sasuke associate with someone like that, and it seems he even gained some special power from him?" Itachi Uchiha frowned, his heart filled with worry.

He was well aware that to gain immense power, he would have to pay a price that was unimaginable to ordinary people.

He was aware of Orochimaru's desire for his younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha, and had already made thorough preparations for it.

He possesses special attack methods against Orochi, as well as a two-tiered protection package to deal with various emergencies. In this way, he can temporarily control the situation and eliminate some potential threats for Sasuke.

However, the sudden appearance of a new character about whom he had no information whatsoever was giving him a real headache.

In the world of ninjas, battles largely depend on intelligence.

Nothing is invincible; all ninjutsu has weaknesses. It's just that ninjas often don't have the opportunity to test their enemies' abilities.

Ultimately, humans are fragile, and life is only given to us once. We cannot afford to take unnecessary risks, or we will end up like Asma, with a tragic fate.

Itachi Uchiha was not afraid to face powerful enemies, and he would not back down no matter how invincible or terrifying the enemy's abilities seemed.

Because he firmly believed that everyone has weaknesses, and those with weaknesses are bound to be defeated.

But what truly troubled him was the unknown.

He even heard rumors that Hiruko could revive the dead at will, and that he had recently revived the Fourth Hokage.

Is this true or false?

"Is this true?" Itachi Uchiha frowned, his mind filled with doubt.

Unlike him, who was focused solely on Sasuke, Kisame was more concerned with the matters related to his resurrection mentioned in the intelligence report.
