Chapter 722: Two Birds With One Stone

Ancor Vantian

After putting the Tsukihi Clone inside the Recovery Capsule, Kuroto observed its state using an observation device. As he did this, he was surprised to find that the Tsukihi Clone had many internal injuries, basically, the chakra meridians were injured around the eyes and stomach. This injury is much more serious than his expectations.

“Is it because of ‘Takeminataka’ that Danzo used?!” muttered Kuroto with a thoughtful expression.

Because Tsukihi was using her Susano’o most of the time while fighting Danzo, so she didn’t suffer any physical injury, and the only time she was vulnerable was when Danzo held her by her throat, another thing is that Danzo used his Dojutsu named ‘Takeminakata’ to absorb her Visual Prowess at that time, so that is the only time when Tsukihi’s chakra meridians could have been injured.

Kuroto doesn’t have any information about ‘Takeminakate’ and how it works except for the fact that it can absorb other’s Visual Prowess. But as long as he thinks of what it does, it won’t be wrong to say that it does that forcefully, not tenderly, and the whole process of extraction of Visual Prowess must be destructive.

“Regardless of how her meridians were injured, it seems that it will take some time for them to slowly repair.” Muttered Kuroto with a sigh as he looked at the other Recovery Capsules in the room. At this point in time, among the six Recovery Capsules in the laboratory that Kuroto prepared as per the requirements of each clone that he has created so far or will be creating in the future, three are already in use, with each one containing one clone that is being treated.

In fact, the Fujin Clone is already an old guest; and will continue to stay here in the foreseeable future to make sure that the decay caused by the All-Killing Ash particles doesn’t destroy the clone.

The next one is Dojin who injured the chakra meridians of his hands not long ago because he made a small mistake while using just mastered Dust Release and is undergoing treatment. It will take several days for Dojin’s injury to recover.

And counting the Tsukihi Clone that just entered the Recovery Capsule, it can be said that aside from his main body, Kuroto only has Suijin Clone that he can use.

Fortunately, Danzo’s matter has been concluded on his end so he won’t have to worry about anything for the time being, as such, even if he can’t use other clones for a while, there is no major problem.

Besides, compared to the great achievement of obtaining an all-new pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, the injury of Tsukihi Clone is not that serious, in fact, it is not even worth mentioning, that’s how important this pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is for Kuroto.

Thinking of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan that he has just obtained from Danzo, Kuroto took out the storage scroll that contained the spoils of the previous battle.

After unsealing it, Kuroto carefully took out the pair of Dojutsu from the small nutrition capsule and observed the state of the pair of Dojutsu with his Tenseigan.

From the state of the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan Kuroto was able to see that the interruption of their evolution has left a bit of trauma on them.

The Yin-Yang chakra seemed to have vanished, and along with that, the alive character of the eyes is also weakened, it’s as if the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan has become a pair of ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan.

Of course, for his future plans, these eyes have to be restored to their peak, but the question is, “How to do that?”

Restoring their Visual Prowess shouldn’t be that difficult of a task, after all, they are a pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, not just Mangekyou Sharingan. The biggest difference between the two pairs of Dojutsu is that no matter how many times the Visual Prowess of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan gets exhausted due to overconsumption, it will definitely recover over time. As long as the eyes aren’t seriously damaged, they will never become blind.

Of course, this is always true, however, this is a prerequisite, that is, the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan needs to have a compatible bearer who can provide the necessary chakra for the restoration of Visual Prowess. Simply keeping the eyes in the Recovery Capsules won’t help. And here comes another question, ‘Whom should I use for this?’

After thinking for a while, Kuroto looked at his Suijin Clone, and muttered, “Before anyone, maybe I should try using testing the Suijin Clone… if it works, then there won’t be any need to rely on anyone for this.”

With such a thought in his mind, Kuroto took out the Suijin Clone and after checking all of its stats, he carefully transplanted the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in Suijin’s eye sockets. After completing this, he used Tenseigan Soul Descend to transfer his soul into the Suijin Clone.

As soon as his soul entered the Suijin Clone, an uncontrollable surge of mental pressure drowned him, it felt so overwhelming that Kuroto couldn’t even get up properly and stumbled on the operating table, unable to even get up.

It took more than an hour for him to adapt and stand up with a haggard expression.

While leaning on the operating table with a breathless expression, Kuroto couldn’t help but think, ‘What the hell… this is a bit too much, I expected the mental pressure to be overwhelming, however, this is simply too much… At this rate, rather than helping with the recovery of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Suijin Clone itself will have to undergo treatment to recover the loss of life force!’

Facts have again proven that controlling the Uchiha bloodline is extremely difficult, unless someone doesn’t have extreme Yang characteristics in their body like that of the Senju Clan or the Uchiha Clan, bearing the pressure of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is simply impossible!

With such a thought in his mind, Kuroto transferred his soul back into his main body and immediately took out the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan from its eye sockets.

Now that the Suijin Clone can’t be used, he will have to go with the option he has thought of, “It seems I can only rely on Karin for this purpose.”

Although there are a lot of people who might be compatible with the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, he still feels that Karin is the safest option, as she is the easiest to control and least prone to accident, moreover, she also has the Uzumaki descent making her a very good candidate.

It must not be forgotten that Nagato–who is also an Uzumaki–was transplanted with Uchiha Madara’s Rinnegan at a very young age and has been using that Rinnegan for over a decade now, true his life force was sucked by the Rinnegan, however, that all stopped when he was transplanted with the Hashirama Cells.

Kuroto has observed Karin’s growth for the past few years and believes that Karin is no worse than Nagato in terms of talent, although her chakra reserves aren’t as exaggerated as Nagato’s however, she has her own advantage; which is the high-intensity Yang chakra that she carries.

Based on the research he has conducted using Karin’s cells, Kuroto has concluded that Karin’s Yang Chakra is much more potent than Nagato and Tsunade’s, and this high-intensity Yang chakra is represented in the form of her ability to heal others when they bite her.

And because of this high-potent Yang chakra that Karin carries, Kuroto believes that she will be able to provide enough chakra for the recovery of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

“And letting Karin do this will also be a good experience for her while I prepare her for the Rinnegan in the future.”

Kuroto has long since planned to use Karin as his last card if things went south for him in the ritual, and for her to play that role Karin must have Rinnegan. Before giving her the Rinnegan, letting her get used to Mangekyou Sharingan is a good choice, this way he will be able to kill two birds with one stone.
