Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha lacks motivation.

Chapter 47 Lost Memories: What Good Thing Could Possess Someone?

"You old man, release Xiao Guang right now."

Uchiha Yao's unusual behavior today made Uchiha Gin feel unfamiliar. He then looked at him with reddened eyes, his eye technique waiting for its master's command.

Tsukuyomi requests to join the battle!

Seeing that Uchiha Gin looked like he was about to attack him, Uchiha Yao thought for a moment, then stepped aside to make way for him.

"That was just a simple stress response test. You can take her back now."

Unexpectedly, the other party agreed so readily. Uchiha Gin frowned, withdrew the accumulated power in his eyes, and his eyes slowly returned to their normal color. He looked at the other party warily, but still stepped into the laboratory.

Upon entering, Uchiha Gin saw Uchiha Hikari lying on a hospital bed in the middle of the laboratory. The girl was still unconscious.

Uchiha Gin rushed over and found that the girl's hands and feet were bound to the hospital bed with belts. Her fair joints were red and swollen from struggling, which made his heart ache, and his eyes reddened again.

Let's use Amaterasu for now!

The girl's face was filled with a pain that Uchiha Gin had never seen before. Her delicate eyebrows were furrowed, her breathing was disordered, and her cherry-like lips were tightly clenched, as if she were having a terrifying nightmare.

"What did you do to Xiaoguang? For the sake of our grandfather-grandson relationship, explain yourself clearly, and I'll consider leaving you with your underwear."

Although there were no serious external injuries, Uchiha Hikaru's extremely painful expression fueled Uchiha Gin's anger, and he began to think about the correct way to use Amaterasu.

"It's just simple emotional manipulation."

Uchiha Yao remained cold and aloof, his eyes moving stiffly before finally settling on Uchiha Gin.

"It'll be your turn tomorrow. I hope you'll cooperate and not struggle unnecessarily."

Without answering Uchiha Yao's question, Uchiha Gin forcefully tore off the leather straps binding Uchiha Hikaru, his scarlet eyes glaring at the old man.

"I'll cooperate with you, my foot! You dare touch us again?"

A cold and obscure eye power instantly overflowed, heading straight for Uchiha Yao. This pure Yin Release chakra could keep an ordinary ninja awake for several nights. Consider it a lesson for this old man.

Seeing that Uchiha Yao remained silent, Uchiha Gin ignored her, picked up the unconscious girl, and turned to leave.

Uchiha Yao was left alone, slowly disappearing into the shadows of the laboratory, with only half of his face remaining in the light. A glimmer of clarity flashed in his single eye, but as the shadow slowly enveloped him, he was eventually buried in darkness.

Carrying the unconscious Uchiha Hikari on her back, Uchiha Gin walked very quietly. The girl's rapid breathing never stopped, but she showed no signs of waking up. It was unknown what kind of emotions had influenced the girl to make her look so frail.

At this moment, Uchiha Gin felt a pang of regret and remorse. If he could perfectly control his eyes, he could protect the girl from torment.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Gin's physique was too weak. Logically speaking, his physique was not even good enough to be a ninja. However, he was able to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, which was already a real perk for a transmigrator. If he wanted to go further, he probably had to take the path of science or use cheat codes.

Sigh~ Why don't I have a system?

I really want to improve my physical condition!

the day before.

After searching for a long time among the piles of documents in the clan's territory, Uchiha Miao raised his head. He felt that something was off about Uchiha Yao today.

According to his understanding, Uchiha Yao was the ultimate scroll king who had memorized all the documents of the entire clan, so how could he possibly forget the cases recorded in the documents?

Thinking back to Uchiha Yan, who had been "sent away" with him that morning, the ever-astute Uchiha Miao had some vague guesses in his mind.

No, I have to get back!

The clan's archives are some distance from the research institute, and it's already late, so we can only set off early tomorrow morning.

The next morning, when Uchiha Miao returned to the research institute at full speed, he received the experimental report that Uchiha Yao had prepared in advance, which was the so-called "war weapon" plan.

With this report in hand, Uchiha Miao went directly to Uchiha Tajima to seek his decision.

This led to the scene where Uchiha Miao, holding the plan, sought an audience with Uchiha Tajima.

"Uchiha Gin, come out!"

Uchiha Gin, who had stayed by the girl's bedside all night without closing his eyes, raised his head and looked at the several unfamiliar men standing outside the door. His eyes turned hostile.

"What exactly did you do to Xiaoguang?"

A night passed, and the girl, still unconscious, remained motionless. No matter what methods Uchiha Gin used, he couldn't wake her. These people must have tampered with her.

"If you want to know, come with us."

One of the men, with a cold expression, said.

The boy glanced at the girl lying on the bed, her face contorted in pain, and his anger surged. Now he wanted to see what kind of methods that old man, Uchiha Yao, had used.

"Let's go."

The boy who stood up had a dangerous glint in his eyes as he followed the group of people waiting outside the door toward the laboratory.

A short while later, Uchiha Gin entered the laboratory and found Uchiha Yao writing furiously at his workbench. Yao wasn't surprised to see him; instead, he lowered his head and continued writing for a few more minutes. He nodded in satisfaction and handed the document to a subordinate to take it away.

"Old Deng, did you sleep well last night?"

The suffocating boy gritted his teeth and asked, "That glare I gave you yesterday was too lenient. I should have used Tsukuyomi, even if it meant being bedridden for three days."

"No, I'm busy writing a project proposal."

Uchiha Yao shook his head, showing no sign of discomfort, which aroused suspicion in Uchiha Gin's mind.

"You have three seconds to tell me how to wake Xiaoguang up."

The other party's nonchalant attitude infuriated him. As his anger rose, a crimson glint appeared in Uchiha Gin's eyes, and a chilling aura filled the entire laboratory.

Faced with the aggressive young man, Uchiha Yao remained unmoved. He carefully studied Uchiha Gin's eyes and spoke thoughtfully.

"Don't rush me. Let me ask you, has your vision deteriorated recently?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Yao's puzzled question, Uchiha Gin was taken aback at first, then frowned and said,

"So what if it is?"

Since the start of the combat trials, every time Uchiha Gin used the Mangekyou Sharingan, he felt his eyesight deteriorating, but it was still much better than what he would experience in the future.

"really."

Upon hearing Uchiha Gin's answer, Uchiha Yao nodded to himself, then waved his hand.

"You should lie down on the bed first."

"Don't just talk nonsense!"

The tomoe in Uchiha Gin's eyes began to slowly rotate with the fluctuations of his emotions.

"If you want to know what Wuming went through, then cooperate with our experiment."

Seeing that Uchiha Gin was about to use force, Uchiha Yao frowned slightly, then spoke.

Since we can't communicate, then I have no choice but to...

Now that things have come to this, Uchiha Yao is actually being asked to participate in this inexplicable experiment. The pattern in Uchiha Gin's eyes changes; Tsukuyomi is already activated.

Even if his uncle blamed him afterward, he still wanted to get revenge.

Damn it, what kind of time traveler is this to be manipulated by the natives? Watch me!

However, at that moment, a faint light flashed in the darkness behind Uchiha Gin, and he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck while he was concentrating on the casting bar.

Before Uchiha Gin could turn around, a figure that had appeared behind him at some unknown time had already injected a full syringe of an unknown medicine into his body.

Just as Uchiha Gin was about to resist, he felt a strong wave of drowsiness wash over him, and his raised hand fell limply to his side. He fell into a deep sleep in less than a few breaths.

At this moment, the researchers who had been waiting quickly entered, took various testing instruments, installed them on Uchiha Gin's body, and began to test various data.

Before conducting the experiment, it was necessary to record Uchiha Gin's physical data clearly. Yesterday, Uchiha Mumei also underwent the same examination.

As a precaution, the researchers first secured his limbs with straps before starting the device to begin the test.

About an hour later, the lead researcher found Uchiha Yao.

"The physical examination of the experimental subject has been completed, and no abnormal indicators were found."

"Alright, you can all leave now. I'll conduct the rest of the experiment alone."

The old man walked inside without looking back.

"Yes."

The remaining researchers quickly packed up their equipment and evacuated.

Uchiha Yao walked to the bedside and looked at the sleeping boy's face. A hint of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, but as a black aura flashed in his eyes, the old man's gaze returned to its previous coldness.

"Gin Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan consumes too much of his eye power. Before he could develop much of it, his eyesight had already started to decline."

A strange voice rang out, but the old man didn't turn around, indicating that he was familiar with the speaker.

"Indeed, his eyesight won't hold up until the day I planned."

"Hehehe, that little girl from yesterday has more intact eyes, and her abilities are far superior to this kid's. Let's use her!"

From a pool of pitch-black ink in the darkness, a pure black figure slowly emerged—it was the same figure who had just given Uchiha Gin the acupuncture needles.

"Wangliang, even if you are my alter ego, don't make decisions for me. I will make my own judgments."

Hearing the suggestion from the voice in the darkness, Uchiha Yao spoke in a deep voice.

"Hehehe, as your alter ego, I naturally know your true thoughts deep down."

A strange light flickered in the shadowy figure's eyes, and his tone was extremely sincere.

P.S.: Because of the special era in which the protagonist lives, his precognitive abilities are useless. In addition, modern people are not as ruthless, so the protagonist's personality is somewhat sassy, ​​but not a saint.
