I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 739 What brings more joy than being praised is hearing one's enemy slandered.

Sharingan

Sasuke's heart tightened, and a look of hesitation appeared in his eyes. Those eyes were too important to him.

Because he had so many questions, he thought that killing that person would answer them, but what he got in return was even more questions.

After the battle with Itachi, Sasuke's ninja sword pierced his heart, and Sasuke judged that he would not survive. But just as he pulled out the Kusanagi sword, Itachi activated the genjutsu Tsukuyomi.

When Sasuke woke up, all he saw was a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan eyes that had been peeled off, and bloodstains on the ground that far exceeded lethal amounts.

But I still have some doubts in my heart: Is Itachi really dead? Why did Itachi leave behind the Mangekyou Sharingan? Why did he use genjutsu on him but not kill him? And where did Itachi go?

The only clue left for Sasuke was his pair of Mangekyou Sharingan eyes, so when Tobirama Senju asked him to take them out, Sasuke was somewhat resistant.

Moreover, Tobirama Senju did not have a good reputation among the Uchiha clan. Even though Sasuke only had a few memories of his childhood, mostly of his parents and brother, he still remembered many prejudiced voices against Tobirama Senju.

Even though he had communicated with Tobirama Senju a few years ago and felt that Tobirama Senju was not the kind of person his clansmen thought he was, impressions are not so easy to change.

Tobirama Senju stared at Sasuke and said, "I am not so greedy as to covet a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan. I was indeed interested in the Sharingan in the past, but it was just an interest."

"I could return Uchiha Setsuna's body to the Uchiha clan back then, let alone Uchiha Chizuru and the others who would be willing to offer their Sharingan with just a word from me."

Sasuke nodded upon hearing this, and took out a sealing scroll from his ninja tool bag. After unsealing it, a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan eyes inside a bottle appeared before them.

"Fourth Hokage, the rest is up to you."

Tobirama Senju looked at Tatsuma, who nodded, and then said to Sasuke, "Did Itachi mention anything about the further development of the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke nodded and said, "Legend has it that Madara Uchiha stole his younger brother's Mangekyou Sharingan, merging the two into one, allowing the Sharingan to undergo another transformation."

"etc."

Tobirama Senju suddenly raised his hand to stop them, then asked, "Is that what you Uchiha people think?"

"What's wrong?"

Sasuke asked in confusion, and Tobirama Senju shook his head and turned slightly away. Sasuke was a little puzzled, but Tatsuma, who was to the side, clearly saw the corner of Tobirama Senju's mouth that was harder to suppress than an AK.

Tatsuma took a deep breath to shake off Tobirama Senju's emotional influence, and then said seriously to Sasuke, "The drawback of the Mangekyou Sharingan is that its consumption is not proportional to its replenishment rate."

Therefore, after overusing the Mangekyou Sharingan, vision will gradually decline, and in severe cases, it can lead to blindness. The Mangekyou Sharingan will also become unusable, and all its abilities will be rendered unusable.

To overcome this drawback, expansion is necessary, including the upper limit of eye power, volume, conversion efficiency, recovery efficiency, and so on. Therefore, it is necessary to integrate the eye power of other Mangekyou Sharingan.

The original Mangekyou Sharingan was like a reservoir connected to a small river downstream. Once the sluice gates were opened, the flood would directly destroy the river channel, causing irreversible damage to the river channel and its surrounding area.

The transformed Mangekyou Sharingan is like a river that can perfectly accommodate the water discharge from a reservoir, allowing the reservoir and river to be used for a long time. Therefore, such a Mangekyou Sharingan can become an eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, any transplant surgery can cause rejection, including the transplant of pupil power. Therefore, it is necessary to find a Mangekyou Sharingan of the same origin, such as between brothers.

Therefore, Itachi left his Sharingan to you.

"The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan"

Sasuke couldn't help but raise his hand to touch the area around his eyes. He had only recently acquired the Mangekyou Sharingan, so he didn't know much about it.

It was only after Tatsuma explained that he realized the Mangekyou Sharingan had so many drawbacks.

Previously, in order to test his abilities, he had exhausted his eye power in one go. At that time, he felt that his vision was blurry, but after resting and replenishing his chakra and eye power, the condition subsided. He just thought it was due to fatigue from overuse of his eyes.

Looking back now, he realized that he had unknowingly damaged his eyes. If he hadn't received this information today, he might not have taken the temporary vision loss to heart.

Over time, one may unknowingly fall into a permanent decline in vision, only thinking that it is due to the depletion of pupil power that has not yet recovered.

By the time you realize it, it's too late to undo the damage.

Sasuke finally understood why Itachi had spared him back then and said some strange things, encouraging him to keep striving and working hard to catch up with those Mangekyou Sharingan.

Because the Mangekyou Sharingan between brothers can be fused, creating a pair of eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

but

His doubts deepened. Why did Itachi give him the chance? Was it because Itachi's heart had been pierced and he thought he couldn't survive?

unreasonable.

"Do you feel even more lost now?"

Tatsuma looked at Sasuke and asked with a smile. Sasuke nodded instinctively, without even thinking much about Tatsuma's question. Tatsuma continued:

"Then let's use even brighter eyes to see the future clearly. It's not appropriate for any outsider to comment on Itachi's affairs, but strength is essential to finding the truth."

Is he still alive?

Sasuke looked up and asked. Tatsuma shrugged and said, "He should still be alive, but I still don't have any news about him."

"Is that so?"

Sasuke looked down at the glass bottle containing a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan eyes, then said, "Fourth Hokage, how do I fuse the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

"Physical transplantation".

"what?"

"Eye transplant."

Tatsuma approached and gestured for Sasuke to give him the bottle. This time, Sasuke didn't hesitate and handed the bottle to Tatsuma. Tatsuma said, "You can allocate your eye power yourselves."

"You can store your pupil power in your mind or infuse it into your eyes. Just recall your pupil power to your mind, and I will remove your original eyes and replace them with these new ones. Then, simply wait for the pupil power to merge."

"So, Madara Uchiha didn't steal his brother's Sharingan?"

Sasuke finally understood why Tobirama Senju's behavior was so strange. Maybe Itachi Uchiha actually knew the truth and was just deceiving this fool.

Hard! The fist is hard!

Why does that bastard always treat him like a child, easily fooling and deceiving him?!

"Let's get started now. We don't have much time, especially since the Second Hokage seems to be getting impatient."

Tatsuma formed hand seals and summoned a slug no bigger than an arm. The slug was using its slime to clean Itachi's Sharingan.

"Right here? No need to go to the hospital or anything?"

Sasuke looked around. The environment was dirty and messy. Was it really okay to perform surgery in such a place?

"Don't worry, you'll just have to endure the darkness for a while."

Before Sasuke could react, he suddenly felt everything go black, followed by pain and an empty feeling in his eyes. The next second, he lost consciousness.

The entire process took less than ten seconds. Before Sasuke's body could even fall to the ground naturally, Tatsuma had already completed the surgery. Tatsuma looked at Tobirama Senju and said, "From now on, I'll leave him to you to take care of, Second Hokage."

The First Generation Leader and my "students" have also arrived.

"Go, I will provide the village with the Uchiha ninja the village needs in the shortest possible time."

In an instant, Tobirama Senju circled behind Sasuke, grabbed Sasuke by the back of his pants, lifted him up, and then disappeared using the Flying Thunder God Technique. Tatsuma sealed the eyes in his hands that had lost their power, and then turned into a silver light and flew away.
