Chapter 2 Eye Removal and Fusion
Hearing his father's words, Uchiha Itachi obediently looked at his father, meeting a pair of crimson Mangekyo Sharingan, their shape resembling shuriken, filled with killing intent.
Without any defense, Uchiha Itachi, caught off guard, fell victim to Uchiha Fugaku's Mangekyo Sharingan genjutsu—Tsukuyomi.
This genjutsu is an upgraded version of Itachi's Tsukuyomi, capable of pulling a person's spirit into a genjutsu world, causing their physical body to fall into a deep sleep. In the genjutsu world, he is invincible, and at night, the amount of ocular power required for the technique is minimal. If he is willing to expend more ocular power, he can even manifest injuries sustained in the genjutsu world into the real world.
Seeing Uchiha Itachi fall into a deep sleep, Fugaku had not yet relaxed when Uchiha Hidetoshi, carrying a white briefcase, hurried over.
Fugaku did not conceal his Mangekyo Sharingan and said faintly, "Do it."
Uchiha Hidetoshi quickly averted his gaze after stealing a glance at the Clan Head's eyes. Although the Clan Head had shown them to him before, seeing them again still sent a chill down his spine.
He unhurriedly opened the briefcase, put on his gloves, grasped his tools, and gestured towards Uchiha Itachi's eyes, beginning the miniature surgery.
Because it was a bit bloody, Fugaku only glanced at the beginning before looking away, not turning back until Uchiha Hidetoshi announced he was finished.
"Clan Head, the eye removal is complete."
Uchiha Hidetoshi's blood-stained glove held a glass container filled with an unknown liquid, with two spherical objects floating within.
Fugaku took the container, glanced at it briefly, and said, "Very good. Your mission is complete. Go back. Ryoichi will give you your compensation shortly."
"Clan Head, I am honored to serve you. There's no need for compensation."
Uchiha Hidetoshi quickly refused. Are you kidding? He just performed an eye removal surgery on the Clan Head's son, and he still wants compensation? What if the Clan Head holds a grudge and retaliates against him? He didn't want to be targeted by the Clan Head.
Although the eye removal was requested by the Clan Head, it was still his own son.
Fugaku was noncommittal, and Uchiha Hidetoshi simply walked away after refusing.
Fugaku was about to put away these Mangekyo when he suddenly froze.
A mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind, making his face light up with wild joy.
His cheat ability had arrived!
How could a transmigrator not have a cheat!
"Detecting unowned Mangekyo Sharingan. Do you wish to merge?"
Fugaku looked at the translucent light blue panel that suddenly appeared before his eyes, his heart stirring. Without hesitation, he whispered, "Merge!"
The next instant, a flash of light appeared in his hand. When Fugaku looked again, the glass container was still there, but the two eyes had vanished.
At the same time, the light blue panel also shifted, and Fugaku looked closely.
Name: Fugaku
Physique: 74
Mental Strength: 96
Chakra: 78
Bloodline Limit: Mangekyo Sharingan → Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan (Merging: 00:59:53)
Ninjutsu: Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, Shadow Clone Technique…
Other: Shurikenjutsu, Sharingan Windmill: Three Blades…
Carefully examining the character data on the light blue panel, his heart swelled with joy when he saw the Bloodline Limit section.
As expected, if it merged, it could only be the upgraded Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
Originally, he had planned to have a good talk with Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, trying to avoid a coup. But now, knowing that in an hour he would possess the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, his heart was no longer calm.
The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan breaks the curse associated with the Mangekyo Sharingan's use, allowing ocular techniques to be used without the threat of being sealed. The Eternal Eyes overcome the side effects of the Mangekyo, granting eternal light to both eyes.
Once he possessed the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, his eyes would not suffer from the side effect of blindness, and the physical toll of using ocular techniques would be greatly reduced, almost negligible.
Without worrying about these side effects, his power level would directly and steadily cross into the Kage-level.
One must know that the current Konoha is incredibly weak: the Sannin have left, the Fourth Hokage is dead, and the Third Hokage is old. The entire Konoha Village only has the Third Hokage who can barely be considered a Kage-level strongman; the rest are all Jonin and below.
If he were still using his original ordinary Mangekyo, daring to lead the Uchiha in a coup would inevitably lead to failure. Although there was only one Kage-level, the number of Konoha Jonin was large; the total number of Jonin in the entire Village was several times that of the entire Uchiha Clan.
And on his side, there was only one Kage-level, and ordinary Mangekyo had limitations. Konoha's Jonin could wear him down and kill him.
But now, things were different.
With the Eternal Eyes in hand, the world is mine. What if it's a rebellion? Let's do it!
Fugaku's eyes gleamed with cold light. In his previous life, he had read many Naruto fanfictions and had long disliked that old man, the Third Hokage.
Since heaven allowed him to replace Uchiha Fugaku and arrive on the eve of the Uchiha Clan massacre, then this was destiny.
Tonight, he would lead the Uchiha Clan to launch a coup and confront the Third Hokage and his allies, to see if their bones were truly made of iron.
Activate Susanoo, directly summon a Gundam on the spot, and release the Nine-Tailed for some fun!
Now that Itachi's eyes had also been removed by him and became nourishment for his Eternal Eyes' evolution, only Uchiha Obito remained. He would deal with that brat first.
Others might not know Uchiha Obito's true identity, but how could he, someone who had seen the end of Naruto, not know?
Just one Mangekyo, a mere intangibility ability. As long as one understood this ability, one could counter it.
Tonight, he would first deal with Uchiha Obito, this ingrate, and then go to Danzo to retrieve Shisui's eyes. After that, whether to fight or not would no longer be up to the Third Hokage and his allies!
Fugaku's mind was clear. Watching the merging time on the panel tick by, minute by minute, he felt no movement at all. The system was truly amazing.
He had originally thought he would endure the pain of his eyes evolving and merging.
But there was nothing. Five-star rating for the system!
Fugaku was excited for a while before turning his attention to his cheap son, Uchiha Itachi, who was still asleep.
He had only used Tsukuyomi once to put Uchiha Itachi to sleep. Now that his Mangekyo Sharingan was closed, the boy would wake up soon.
Although he had taken his eyes, Fugaku had not relaxed his guard.
His eyes were currently merging and evolving, and he didn't know if he could use them now. But to be safe, he definitely wouldn't. If it affected the eye merger and the Eternal Eyes evolution failed, he would have nowhere to cry.
He decided that during this hour of merging and evolution, he would absolutely not use his Mangekyo Sharingan.
It would be best not to even use Chakra.
Counting the time, the person who was supposed to come should be arriving soon.
As if on cue, just as that thought crossed his mind, the voice of the servant Uchiha Ryoichi sounded by the window.
"Clan Head, the Great Elder has arrived."
"Let him in."
Fugaku glanced at the sleeping Uchiha Itachi and said softly.
