Chapter 33 Eternal MangekyoBefore Naruto could even be happy, Shisui spoke again: "However, I have one request. No matter what you intend to do, I will support you unconditionally, but my only request is that I hope you do not let the Village fall into war."After hearing this, Naruto shook his head and said: "Regarding this request, I can only say that I will do my absolute best, but I cannot give you any guarantees. Perhaps you don't know my identity yet. My name is Uzumaki Naruto. Just as you suspected, I am the son of the Fourth, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. I also want to protect the Villagejust as much; this is something my parents gave their lives to protect.""But as you have seen, the invasion by the extraterrestrial Ōtsutsuki is directed at this world. Their goal is to destroy this planet to obtain the nutrients they require. It can be said that they are the enemies of the entire Ninja World. As long as a creature lives on this planet, it is their target. No one can stay out of it.""This is also the main reason why I want your help but do not want to use Kotoamatsukami on you. You were willing to betray your clan for the sake of the Village and ultimately sacrificed yourself. I believe you are a person willing to sacrifice for the greater good."After hearing Naruto's identity, Shisui was shocked at first, but then a look of disappointment appeared on his face. He muttered to himself: "Is there no other way? Very well then. Regardless, I have decided to help you. Only in this way can I better protect the Village.""After all, even Lady Tsunade has chosen to stand on your side, and you are the child of the Fourth! I believe you will not do anything to harm the Village."Upon hearing his words, Naruto understood that the majority of the reason Shisui made this decision was because he wanted to protect the Village, not because he truly wanted to help him. But what did that matter? As long as the final goal could be achieved, Naruto didn't care about anything else.Therefore, Naruto continued: "By the way, you must be very confused as to why your Sharingan is with me! Actually, after Danzo ambushed you that day, we did the same thing and took your eyes from him.""I am very sorry that we did not choose to help you at that time; after all, we didn't know then whether you would join us. Besides your eyes, we also took two other Sharingan from him. I still have a use for your eyes; please use these two for the time being. When the opportunity is right, I will return yours to you."Upon hearing this, Shisui smiled and said: "It's fine. You saved me and were able to help me restore my sight; this is already a great kindness. These eyes can play a greater role in your hands; just treat this as a welcome gift!"Naruto said: "Then thank you very much, Shisui. However, there is one more thing I may need to apologize to you about in advance. The Uchiha Clan may still have to be wiped out, because this is part of our plan.""You also know that I am someone who has seen the future. The rebellious heart of this clan is already set. Even if I were to follow your previous idea and use Kotoamatsukami to change Fugaku's mind, it would still lead to a terrible outcome. However, I will do my best to minimize the losses of your clan."Shisui said: "Yes, in those images just now, it seemed that only Itachi's younger brother survived in the end. If possible, I hope you can also save Itachi.""No problem." Naruto agreed to this request, because Itachi was already one of the people he intended to recruit.Tsunade did not participate in the surgery for Shisui's eyes; she had Robin and Shizune perform it together. Although she claimed it was to train the two of them, Naruto strongly suspected that this was just an excuse for her to slack off.Because this was the first time both of them had performed surgery on a living person, although there were some minor hiccups, overall it was very successful. Furthermore, after the surgery was completed, something unexpected happened to everyone: Shisui had unexpectedly obtained the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan!The awakening of the Mangekyo Sharingan occurs when a member of the Uchiha Clan loses a significant loved one or feels pain over their own failure. Special Chakra surges in the brain, acting on the optic nerves, causing the eyes to change and evolve.After the Mangekyo Sharingan is awakened, it grants different abilities. Its power is far greater than that of a normal Sharingan, but its use also comes with risks. Each time it is used, one's eyesight declines until permanent blindness occurs. However, the Eternal Mangekyo does not have this issue.The method to awaken it requires transplanting another Mangekyo Sharingan. The closer the bloodline, the easier it is to obtain. You must know that throughout the entire Shippuden, there were only two people in the Uchiha Clan who awakened the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan: Madara and Sasuke. The strength of these two people goes without saying; they both obtained it by transplanting the eyes of their own brothers.As for these two eyes, it is unknown where Danzoobtained them. After Shisui transplanted them, he unexpectedly awakened the Eternal Mangekyo. However, after thinking for a while, Narutoprobably had some guesses.He said to Shisui: "Shisui, what is your relationship with Uchiha Kagami?"Facing Naruto's question, Shisui didn't think much and replied: "He is my grandfather, but because he passed away quite early, I never met him. Why are you suddenly asking about this? Could it be that you mean...?"Naruto nodded and replied: "I am afraid that is the case. As far as I know, during the alliance ceremony between the Hidden Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning and the Konoha Village of the Land of Fire, the rogue ninjas Kinkaku and Ginkaku of the Hidden Cloud Village rebelled and attempted to assassinate the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama. The Second Raikage, A, was killed on the spot by Kinkaku and Ginkaku.""The Second Hokage led Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Uchiha Kagami, and others to escape. Kinkaku and Ginkaku led 15 elite Jonin to pursue them. To protect the Village and the young people of the Village like Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, the Second Hokage designated Hiruzen Sarutobi as the Hokage on the spot, then faced the enemies alone. He killed Ginkaku, severely wounded Kinkaku, but was also heavily injured himself and ultimately sacrificed his life.""But after this, there was no more information regarding Uchiha Kagami. Not long after, news of his death spread. If one were to ask who could have obtained his eyes, after thinking it over, Danzois the most likely candidate.""You should know the conditions for awakening the Eternal Mangekyo, right? It requires transplanting someone else's Sharingan to be possible, and the closer the bloodline, the easier it is to awaken. While it seems there is a certain probability, in reality, it is extremely difficult. Otherwise, Madara would not have been the only one to succeed in Uchiha history.""And since you successfully awakened them right after transplanting these two eyes, I cannot think of any other reason besides this explanation."
