The action was direct and simple. After a few dozen seconds, the eye swap surgery was completely done. Uchiha Jinsuke's Blood Wheel Eye had a new owner.
Orochimaru blinked, the feeling of something foreign in his eye socket quickly going away. "Tsk tsk tsk... A special eye ability, it's really a useful power."
He wiped away the stuff at the corner of his eye, and started excitedly testing the Blood Wheel Eye's abilities.
Watching, copying, hypnotizing... Besides the basic Sharingan abilities being stronger, just like he thought, the Blood Wheel Eye didn't need any extra push.
Skipping the process of awakening it, instead, like gathering Chakra in normal body parts, he could just use the eye power directly.
In other words, if he wanted to, he could take this Blood Wheel Eye for himself, without any bad effects on his body.
Beside him, Yakushi Kabuto put Orochimaru's old eyes into a small container with liquid. Seeing this, he pushed up his glasses.
Orochimaru glanced at him, and laughed, "What, are you worried I'll steal Uchiha Jinsuke's eyes?"
After getting the Blood Wheel Eye, Orochimaru's senses were very sharp. Not to mention he also learned Sage Art. Yakushi Kabuto's emotions were just a little bit off, but how could he hide it from him?
In the gaze of those bloody eyes, Yakushi Kabuto didn't look away. His face was normal, and he said calmly, "To become Orochimaru-sama's eyes, Uchiha Jinsuke should feel honored."
"But, it would be better if he didn't have this honor, right?"
Orochimaru had a smile on his face that wasn't really a smile. "Looks like you two got along well during this time."
Seeing Yakushi Kabuto wanted to say something more, Orochimaru pointed to his forehead, and laughed, "Compared to normal Sharingan, these eyes are sharper. They can see not only what's on the outside, but also emotions."
"Even though you were a good spy, don't be too sure of your mask. The world of ninja is very big."
Yakushi Kabuto couldn't handle Orochimaru's gaze anymore, and turned his head, his face a little stiff.
But this wasn't because he was worried about showing who he really was to Orochimaru.
If the Blood Wheel Eye can sense people's emotions, doesn't that mean its original owner, Uchiha Jinsuke, also...
"Kabuto, you should know, even though I've been using you, I don't mind if you have another place to belong."
Orochimaru's playful face disappeared, and he said slowly, "Like Yamato, you can also start a new life."
"That's not needed."
Yakushi Kabuto looked up, a smile appearing on his face, but it wasn't his usual fake smile. It was full of self-mockery and bitterness.
He said, "I'm not worthy."
Lady Nonou was dead after all. He was covered in blood, how could he stand on his savior's dead body and chase after so-called... happiness?
So, Yakushi Kabuto didn't mind Orochimaru using him at all. He was willing to live an empty life.
This was, in the first place, a type of punishment.
"Okay."
Orochimaru glanced at Yakushi Kabuto, looked away, and kept testing the Blood Wheel Eye's abilities. He talked to the genie on his back, "How is it, can you copy the Blood Wheel Eye after seeing this much?"
The genie leaned forward, a clear smile on his face. "I've recorded almost everything. As long as your body can handle it, I can help you unlock the Blood Wheel Eye at any time."…
Orochimaru also smiled, his eyes shining with surprise. "That's good."
That's right, he didn't need to want Uchiha Jinsuke's eyes at all. With the genie, he could have his own special eye power.
When it comes down to it, a special eye ability is just the result of the body's Yang Release, which stands for physical power, combining to some extent with Yin Release, which stands for mental power. Every ninja has these two powers. Orochimaru is no different.
The only hard part is that normal ninja don't have strong enough versions of these two powers. You have to know, the Senju clan and Uchiha clan have bloodline advantages, and they only have one of them.
But this obstacle that seems impossible to get over won't be a problem anymore after Orochimaru perfectly combines the First Hokage's cells, and fixes his soul from the Pure Land.
"Actually, I think you should also record the Sharingan's state from one tomoe to three tomoe."
The genie smiled, his voice tempting. "To turn your eyes directly into Blood Wheel Eye is a big jump. But if you have these stages to ease into it, the cost of unlocking it will be much smaller, maybe even have no cost at all."
Orochimaru slanted a look at the genie, and added the words the genie didn't say. "And saving the changes from the one tomoe Sharingan to the Blood Wheel Eye will also be good for your future host, right?"
The genie didn't deny it, nodding, his face very matter-of-fact. "Of course."
Even though he knew it already, Orochimaru still couldn't get used to the genie's shamelessness.
Especially when he went through a lot of effort to make something new, and the genie's future host can just use it directly, he felt even more annoyed.
But, from another point of view, with the genie's personality, if his foundation gets deep enough in the future, he'll definitely be able to pull off more tricks than now. It's hard to say whether his future host is getting a good deal or not.
Damn... No matter what, the genie is winning.
Orochimaru found out the truth again.
But even if that's the case, what needs to be done still needs to be done. The advice the genie gave was actually very valuable.
Using a bomb tag to kill a mosquito is like using a sword for killing cows to kill a pig... It sounds like a waste of power, but it's really easy on the user.
Why do psychiatric problems show up in the Uchiha Clan? It's because their bodies can't handle their mental power at all, like a small horse pulling a big cart.
Learning from the past, he naturally wouldn't make the same mistake.
...
After putting the Blood Wheel Eye back into Uchiha Jinsuke, Yakushi Kabuto gave him the antidote.
Soon, Uchiha Jinsuke slowly woke up. He sat up, looking at the two people in the lab confused. "Orochimaru-sama, is it over? What's the next test?"
"There is no next test. The Blood Wheel Eye test is already done."
Orochimaru pointed to his forehead, and laughed, "I already did the detailed testing for you."
Uchiha Jinsuke blinked, taking a few seconds to understand what the 'for' meant. His face looked a little strange.
To be honest, as a researcher, the experimental data Orochimaru got from experiencing the test himself is definitely more accurate than watching from the side.
But… Seeing the other guy use his eyes as something you can just plug in and take out, Uchiha Jinsuke still felt a strange unease.
This is only Orochimaru, he would get mad if it was anyone else.
Also, their eye swapping skill is too good, right? I didn't even feel it.
Seeing the awkwardness on Uchiha Jinsuke's face, Orochimaru grinned, his face becoming much more serious.
"Your Blood Wheel Eye is already a mature special eye power compared to the Sharingan."
"This is a good thing, but it also means your eyes have lost their protection."
Orochimaru licked his lips. "The reason I could test your eye ability earlier wasn't because I used some special way. On the contrary, I didn't use anything."
"This means other jonin, or Kage-level powerful ninja, can also use your eyes without any trouble."
Orochimaru patted Uchiha Jinsuke's shoulder, and laughed, "Like the Byakugan of the Hyuga main family, you might also face this kind of greed in the future."
