Konoha: Offer your heart to the Hokage!

The premise is that her kaleidoscope can take another step forward.

Even without a unique eye technique, the owner of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is still considered a strong Kage-level user simply by relying on Susanoo.

Shen Er handed the scroll containing the corpse to Uchiha Yan: "Then so be it."

"Now, it's time for you to lie down on the lab table."

Uchiha Yan did as instructed.

She also noticed that her brother's eyes had changed before he died, and they seemed to be just one step away from becoming kaleidoscopes. Of course, she wouldn't be sentimental and say things like, "This is the last thing my brother left in the world."

Eyes crafted with life itself should naturally be used to their fullest potential.

Shen Er held the eye, preparing to transplant it into Uchiha Yan.

He is still in the exploratory stage regarding the laws governing the opening of the eternal kaleidoscope.

The most common explanation is that it involves transplanting a kaleidoscope of blood relatives.

But that's not necessarily true.

The logic behind the formation of all Eternal Kaleidoscopes is based on the commonalities between the two pairs of brothers, Madara and Izuna, and Itachi and Sasuke.

It can be attributed to the transplantation of the Kaleidoscope between blood relatives, or it can be understood as any Kaleidoscope being possible, or Madara and Sasuke being reincarnations of Indra, inheriting Indra's chakra.

Madara Uchiha said during the final battle that Sasuke Uchiha was the only person who possessed the Straight Tomoe Sharingan like him, suggesting that there might be a special connection between Sasuke and Madara beyond blood ties.

This special connection is the Indra chakra.

Based on the above considerations, he could not be certain whether the experiment would succeed.

Even if it can't evolve into the Eternal Kaleidoscope, there's hope that its eye power and durability can be improved, right?

Interstitial cells—that was a high-risk last resort.

Thinking this way.

Shen Er removed Uchiha Yan's right eye, looked at her empty and eerie right eye socket, and expressionlessly transplanted Uchiha Bin's right eye to her.

Then, a bizarre scene unfolded. The removed right eye gradually turned grayish-white, while the implanted eye transformed back into its original kaleidoscope shape.

After the eye transplant, the original eye died.

It seems that there is no possibility that each eye can retain its own shape and both eyes can activate the Eternal Kaleidoscope. The so-called eye replacement is essentially the fusion of the incomplete parts of the pupil power, which are combined together like puzzle pieces to complete a qualitative evolution.

Shen Er felt a pang of regret. The current outcome had blocked the possibility of exploiting the bug to obtain two pairs of Eternal Eyes at once.

But he didn't dwell on it too much. If the Sharingan was destroyed, so be it. The key was whether the Mangekyou Sharingan could complete its evolution.

Under his gaze, Uchiha Yan's eyes simultaneously glowed red, and her pupils became increasingly lustrous and full, with two lines of bloody tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.

This is……

Uchiha Yan frowned and groaned in pain, "My eyesight... it seems to have returned?!"

She was surprised to find that her eyesight, which had been damaged in the past battles, had been fully restored after transplanting her brother's eyes.

He was almost half-blind, but his vision returned to its peak.

The world was clear again.

Uchiha's eyesight, written as "vision" and read as "pupil power," signifies that her pupil power has also been replenished as her vision has been restored.

But the changes stopped there.

Whether through visual observation or instrument testing, it was found that apart from the complete recovery of his vision, Uchiha Yan's pupil power did not undergo any new changes in either "quality" or "quantity".

In other words, her limit is still only to unlock the third form of Susanoo, but she will no longer be troubled by vision problems.

Bad news: We failed to evolve the Kaleidoscope into its Eternal form.

Good news: The kaleidoscope no longer poses a risk of blindness, allowing you to use your eye power without hesitation in battle.

"Is this considered a success?" Uchiha Yan asked.

Shen Er replied, "You've succeeded halfway. Although there hasn't been a qualitative change, your Sharingan has stabilized."

"You won't have to worry about your eyesight in the battles to come."

"Uchiha Bin's sacrifice was not in vain."

"Let's move forward so that his sacrifice will be properly recognized."

...

A few days later, a shocking piece of news spread from Akatsuki Village.

Akatsuki ninja discovered the body of Konoha Jonin Uchiha Bin within the Land of Rice Fields. The body has now been officially handed over to the Konoha Anbu 2nd Division, who are responsible for returning it to Konoha.

It was drizzling.

The funeral was held at the Uchiha cemetery, and all members of the clan attended.

Even Uchiha Chiri accompanied him to the event, and the Senju brothers also attended as high-ranking officials of Konoha to pay their respects.

This incident can be described as the most heinous event in the history of Konoha. A veteran Jonin was kidnapped and died mysteriously outside the village.

Rain mingled with tears, streaming down the faces of many Uchiha clan members.

The body of Uchiha Bin in the coffin was emaciated, his eyes were closed, and his eyeballs were no longer visible in their sockets.

He looked like he had been tortured to death.

Witnessing this scene, many members of the clan were greatly shocked.

Some people awaken the Sharingan directly, some advance from one tomoe to two tomoe, and some break through from two tomoe to three tomoe.

Uchiha Bin was a veteran from the Warring States period, second only to Madara, Izuna, and Uchiha Chisato in status. In a sense, his passing also symbolized the end of an old era.

Only Uchiha Chiri remains.

If it weren't for the fact that her bloodline disease was contained a few years earlier, the Uchiha clan's Warring States period elders would have all come to an end by now.

"I must kill Uchiha Yan!"

Kenji Uchiha knelt before the grave, his fingers digging deep into the soil, letting out a low growl filled with resentment. His three-tomoe Sharingan flashed red light continuously.

This intense hatred prevented him from immediately activating his kaleidoscope.

But this obsessive hatred has taken root in their bloodline and will be passed down from generation to generation, eventually falling into the hands of Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke, bearing the most magnificent fruit.

Kenji's low growl expressed the sentiments of many Uchiha clan members present.

From the moment the body was returned to Konoha, Uchiha Chiri, in his capacity as clan leader, issued a long-term clan mission: to search for Uchiha Yana's whereabouts at all times and in all places; and to report any trace of her immediately, after which the clan would spare no effort to hunt her down.

This is a permanent kill order.

As long as Uchiha Yan is alive, the pursuit of her will never stop.

Even if it falls into the hands of the next generation of Uchiha clan members, this pursuit will continue like a long-term mission entrusted by the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, until the death of Uchiha Yan is confirmed.

This is exactly what Uchiha Bin said in his last words: "To carry the hatred of the Uchiha until the end of my life."

During the Warring States period, the Uchiha clan considered the Senju clan their mortal enemy. This deep-seated hatred continued in the hearts of many Uchiha members even after the founding of Konoha.

Uchiha Bin was once a leading figure in the fight against the Thousand Hands.

But on a night at the Naga Shrine in Konoha Year 6, he saw his destiny clearly in Izanami, the village of Uchiha Chiri. He foresaw that if the Uchiha continued to be enemies with the village under the Senju's rule, they would eventually face destruction.

So he chose to get involved himself.

With his own death, he rewrote the direction of the Uchiha's hatred.

In this way, the hatred between the Uchiha and the Senju-led Konoha can be weakened, while the motivation brought by hatred can be preserved, allowing the Uchiha clan to maintain their strong fighting power with the awakened Sharingan under the stimulation of emotions.

The fact that the Sharingan has been awakened and evolved one after another is the most direct proof. His death not only gave Uchiha Yan a pair of half-step Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, but also improved the quantity and quality of the Sharingan in the Uchiha clan.

"As expected, no ninja should be underestimated."

Shen Er sighed inwardly.

The ruthlessness and enlightenment of a ninja who is willing to risk his life and die for his cause is something that is difficult for someone like him, who pursues immortality and stands above the heavens, to emulate.

On this point, Shen Er had to admit his incompetence.

Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju stepped forward and presented Bin Uchiha with a bouquet of flowers.

Despite being enemies during the Warring States period, Uchiha Bin died as a Konoha Jonin.

He deserves the Hokage's respect.

After the funeral.

Tobirama and Hashirama returned to the Senju clan's territory side by side, and Tobirama said in a solemn tone:

"Brother, Uchiha Bin's body suddenly appeared in the Land of Rice Fields. I suspect something's wrong. Danzo's Second Division has been tracking him for years without any results. How could he just appear out of nowhere?"

"I doubt……"

"Stop doubting, Tobirama," Hashirama interrupted him. "Doubt itself is meaningless. Either find solid evidence or choose to believe. All estrangement and resentment begin with doubt, ferment step by step, and eventually lead to a complete break."

Tobirama remained silent for a moment, then bowed his head and replied, "Yes, elder brother."

Uchiha Chiri found Shinji.

We each ordered a bowl of their signature ramen at Ichiraku Ramen.

A full ten years have passed.

Ichiraku has aged considerably, and even his movements of scooping noodles have become clumsy, but the noodles and soup still taste absolutely delicious.

Looking at the two unchanged figures before him, he couldn't help but sigh, "The power of ninjas, is it really that amazing? I also want my son to become a ninja when he grows up..."

“That won’t do,” Shen Er said, lifting his head from the bowl.

"Ichiraku Ramen's culinary skills must not be lost. We ninjas serve the village, and you, as a ramen chef, are also serving the village. We are all participants in building the Will of Fire, and we all have a bright future..."

The child of a ramen chef should just stick to making ramen!

We can't let our skills get lost.

He doesn't want his permanent free voucher to expire.

Yi Le scratched his head: "You're right. I'll let my son be a ramen chef in the future."

Shen Er's words made Uchiha Chiri, who was standing next to him, smile.

The heavy atmosphere was also somewhat alleviated.
