Chapter 83: The Theory of Dojutsu Transfer
After returning to Konoha for only two days, HaRoko~kun left the village again. Accompanying him was the current head of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Fugaku, as well as—
"Uh... is it really okay for you to show your face like this?"
Uchiha Itachi, who was wearing a playful festival mask and was instantly recognized by HaRoko~kun.
"I asked him to come," Fugaku replied. "HaRoko~kun, I actually withheld some information regarding the treatment."
"Hmm?" HaRoko~kun stopped in his tracks and turned to look at him.
Fugaku glanced at Uchiha Itachi beside him and took a deep breath, as if he had made a major decision.
"Although the Mangekyo Sharingan is powerful, it comes with a curse of inevitable blindness. According to the clan's records, only by transplanting the Mangekyo of a close relative and merging the two sets of Dojutsu power can one give birth to eyes that will never lose their light—the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."
HaRoko~kun understood immediately; he already knew what Fugaku was about to do.
"One of my eyes is already ruined, but the Dojutsu power and bloodline contained within these eyes still remain."
Fugaku raised his hand and touched his bandaged right eye, his tone as calm as if he were discussing the weather.
"Although Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyo has not been active for long, if he continues to use it, he will sooner or later follow in my footsteps. I have already decided to step back behind the scenes; keeping these eyes on me would be a waste."
He looked at Uchiha Itachi, the dignity of a clan head no longer in his eyes, replaced by the purest and heaviest love of a father.
"The surgery I want to ask Tsunade to perform is not for treatment, but for transplantation."
"Uchiha Itachi, I want to give you my eyes."
Beside him, the masked Uchiha Itachi trembled violently, clearly hearing this for the first time.
"Father! I don't need..."
"Say no more." Fugaku interrupted him. "Since you have chosen to carry the darkness forward, you need a pair of eyes that can see through all darkness. I know better than anyone how strong Obito is, having fought him before."
"Uchiha Itachi, this is the last thing I can do for you as a father."
HaRoko~kun stood to the side, watching this scene of fatherly love and filial piety, and couldn't help but rub his temples.
He originally thought he was just taking a patient to see an ophthalmologist, but it turned into the only successful eyeball evolution surgery in the history of the Ninja World?
If Tsunade found out, not only would she have to treat the illness, but she would also have to help you guys with this "eye-swapping play" that only exists in horror legends...
"Fugaku, I hope you really brought enough money..."
HaRoko~kun let out a long sigh and started walking again.
"I have to charge more. I definitely have to charge more."
...
In the same familiar hotel room, Tsunade was worrying over a pile of horse racing tickets. When she saw HaRoko~kun bring people in, her brows finally relaxed a little.
Especially when Fugaku went "poof," pulled a briefcase out of a scroll, and opened it to reveal neat bricks of cash inside, Tsunade's eyes instantly became brighter than a Sharingan.
"It seems the Uchiha Clan is very sincere."
Tsunade casually picked up a stack of money and patted it against her palm, unable to suppress the smile on her face.
"Speak up. Besides treating the eyes, what else do you want to do? As long as it's not resurrecting the dead, for the sake of this... ahem, for the sake of HaRoko~kun, I'll take the job."
Fugaku took a deep breath, stepped forward, and bowed deeply to Tsunade.
"I would like to ask Tsunade to help transplant my pair of Mangekyo Sharingan to Uchiha Itachi."
The smile on Tsunade's face vanished instantly. She threw the money back into the suitcase and let out a scoff.
"Huh? Are you crazy? Do you know what you're saying?"
"I know very well," Fugaku said in a calm tone. "The forbidden secret of the Uchiha Clan—the use of the Mangekyo Sharingan leads to blindness. Only by transplanting the Mangekyo of a close relative can it evolve into an Eternal Mangekyo, granting Dojutsu power that never loses its light."
"Uchiha Madara did exactly that."
"Uchiha Madara is Uchiha Madara, and you are you," Tsunade interrupted impatiently. "Do you think no one in the Uchiha Clan has tried this before? Whether before or after Uchiha Madara, I don't know how many self-righteous Uchiha Clan Members have tried swapping eyes, and what was the result?"
"The best outcome was simply swapping eyes, and the worst was that both parties went blind," Fugaku answered calmly. "That is why I have come to ask for your help. Even if it's just a little bit, I hope to avoid the worst-case scenario."
"Do you think this is a normal eyeball transplant? The Mangekyo Sharingan involves power deep within the bloodline; it's not a problem that can be solved just by my high medical skills."
"I am prepared to take the risk." Fugaku said, bringing out another scroll and taking out a stack of documents from it. "These are the experimental records from within the Uchiha Clan; you might need them."
Looking at Fugaku's firm attitude, Tsunade held her forehead and sighed.
"It seems you won't turn back until you hit the wall."
The atmosphere became somewhat heavy for a moment.
HaRoko~kun, who had been watching from the sidelines, felt caught in a dilemma.
'This is so troublesome, I really want to go back... But if Uchiha Itachi goes blind and there's no one to keep Obito in check, the trouble will be even bigger. It might even trigger the Fourth Great Ninja War before the prince grows up...'
"Um..." Although reluctant, HaRoko~kun still spoke up. "Can I take a look at these documents? I have a few ideas that need verification."
Tsunade frowned: "HaRoko~kun, what are you doing? This has nothing to do with you."
But Fugaku glanced at Uchiha Itachi and nodded: "If there is anything you want to see, go ahead."
Tsunade was a bit surprised that Fugaku gave permission, but since the other party nodded, she didn't object anymore.
HaRoko~kun began to flip through the documents, and everyone's eyes gathered on him.
"Just as I thought..." HaRoko~kun cleared his throat. "I have an idea."
"Speak." Tsunade signaled him to continue.
"Master just said that the experiments before Uchiha Madara failed, and the experiments after Uchiha Madara also failed. Is it possible... that the problem doesn't lie in the surgery itself, but in the timing?"
"Timing?" Tsunade frowned.
"Yes." HaRoko~kun gathered his thoughts. "According to the Uchiha's records, the use of the Mangekyo leads to blindness. But this process is not instantaneous; it is gradual."
"Furthermore..." HaRoko~kun looked at Fugaku and Uchiha Itachi. "The power of the Mangekyo Dojutsu hasn't changed significantly as the eyesight declines, right?"
The two looked at each other, and Fugaku confirmed: "If we set aside the precision issues caused by the eyesight, then yes, in terms of sheer power, it is."
"Then that's it. Is there a possibility—that during the process of using the Mangekyo, the Dojutsu power hasn't disappeared, but is gradually merging with the user's body? It looks like blindness on the surface, but in reality, the Dojutsu power is transferring into the body?"
Giving them some time to digest this, HaRoko~kun continued his statement.
"Uchiha Madara's eyes were only replaced once they went blind, which means the Dojutsu power had already been transferred to his body to the maximum extent."
"Replacing them with new eyes at this point is equivalent to one person possessing two sets of Dojutsu power simultaneously, which is why the Eternal Mangekyo evolved."
HaRoko~kun pointed to the documents and added: "The experiments recorded here either involved eye-swapping between non-blood relatives, causing failure due to rejection. Or, they were in such a rush to swap eyes shortly after awakening the Mangekyo that the Dojutsu power accumulated in the body wasn't enough, which is why they failed."
The Theory of Dojutsu Transfer.
This was the conjecture put forward by HaRoko~kun, who, as a transmigrator, knew of another successful case.
