Chapter 74: Two Ways to Restore the Eye

Yami said to Fugaku very carefully.

"There are two methods, but I can't guarantee success."

"And I also have a replacement. When I return to the ninja world, I will help him obtain it."

After all, this was a father's wish.

The most important thing was that he wasn't 100% sure; it could only be said to be an opportunity to try.

"What are the two methods?"

Fugaku asked quickly.

He wasn't afraid that Yami would harm his son, but that this method would consume too much of the clan's manpower and resources.

If it cost too much, he would give up.

"The first one I had already mentioned before… the cells of the First Hokage can help the Uchiha clan improve their genes and make their bodies stronger."

"This method can minimize the side effects of the Mangekyō Sharingan and almost prevent blindness. However, I cannot confirm whether it can restore eyes that were blinded after using Izanagi."

Yami raised his index finger and said to Fugaku.

He felt that the success rate wasn't high, but Uchiha Madara had used his own eyes for Izanagi and faked his death to deceive the First Hokage.

After using the First Hokage's cells at the same time, he awakened the Rinnegan, restored his blind eyes, and regained his sight.

But Yami wasn't sure whether an ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan could also have such an effect.

"What's the second one?"

After Fugaku heard that this method's results were unclear, he felt that it wasn’t sufficient.

After all, the clan records stated that no one who used Izanami could recover their eyesight.

Then he asked about the second method, eager to know the likelihood of success.

"The second one is the exchange of Mangekyō Sharingan between close relatives."

"No one succeeded before Uchiha Madara. Even if the clan fought within itself and snatched the Mangekyō Sharingan, it was just equivalent to replacing new eyes, rather than restoring the Mangekyō Sharingan's vision."

"Exchanging the Mangekyō Sharingan between close relatives will definitely evolve the Mangekyō Sharingan to a higher level and reach the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. At the same time as the Mangekyō Sharingan evolves, it's highly possible to restore the vision of the blind eyes."

Yami explained the second method.

He didn’t have an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan now, but a perfect Mangekyō Sharingan, the perfect state of the Uchiha bloodline.

The only real Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan users were Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Sasuke, but both of them were reincarnations of Indra, and Yami couldn't confirm whether only the reincarnation of Indra could awaken the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

After all, when the Uchiha clan was fighting among themselves, they abused the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan and tried to plunder the eyes of other people who had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

However, the Mangekyō Sharingan's side effects didn’t disappear.

As for Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Sasuke, they were the ones to replace the Mangekyō Sharingan. One was given to Uchiha Madara by Izuna before he died, and the other was taken away by Obito after Itachi's death and replaced after Sasuke was almost blind.

The two who died had no chance to replace the eyes of their elder brother and younger brother, so it was impossible to confirm whether both parties could benefit and also awaken the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

When Uchiha Madara used Izanagi to fake his death and used the First Hokage cells, it was more like his eyes evolved to restore his blindness.

"So that's it, this method is indeed feasible."

This matter had been mentioned among the veteran officials before.

Regarding the Uchiha's secrets, Yami didn't hide them.

After listening to the method mentioned by Yami, Fugaku felt that it was feasible.

"Then we can try it with my eyes."

"I am also older, and my potential is far less than Itachi's. He holds more hope."

Fugaku's decision was quickly made.

He was willing to put his own eyes to the test.

The closest relative could only be him, and it couldn't be someone else's Mangekyō Sharingan. He had no objection to exchanging it for his son.

"Even if it fails, we can just replace the eyes."

"This method isn't risky, so don't worry."

Yami quickly said to Fugaku.

But his mind was full of thoughts.

Nagato's Rinnegan, he definitely wouldn't let it stay out there; he had to take it into his hands and put it away properly.

To avoid releasing Kaguya.

Dealing with her wasn't easy. Maybe the entire ninja world would be wiped out.

But now that Itachi had lost his vision due to his mission, he was still responsible.

So if he couldn't evolve his eyes to the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, then he'd give Itachi one of Madara's Rinnegan eyes.

"Mm."

Fugaku was relieved after knowing that his son could still be saved.

On the way back, Yami contacted the team working for the clan and asked them to stop chasing pirates and bring enough ships to accommodate all the clan members leaving.

He didn't plan to stay in the first half of the Grand Line.

After all, the place they were located was a desert island.

The living environment had only been slightly improved in the past six months, but it was still far from suitable for living.

For the sake of safety, Yami was ready to leave with them.

At the same time, he contacted Vinsmoke Judge and asked him to prepare for the eye transplant surgery and ready the necessary equipment.

Ten days later, they returned to the gathering place.

Shisui was assigned to be responsible for buying the ships, and then Yami began to arrange for the people in the clan to prepare for the move.

Many things could be sealed in scrolls.

Secondly, drinking water could be solved by Water Release.

The main thing was to bring food and necessary supplies.

It also took a few days to prepare, and during this time, the eye replacement surgery would be performed.

****

"Could there be a problem with this operation?"

Yami looked at the excited Vinsmoke Judge and asked seriously.

After all, the Mangekyō Sharingan was really hard to find, let alone a suitable one, and Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan could be used by Sasuke in the future.

If it was destroyed, he didn't know if Sasuke could still awaken the Rinnegan.

"No problem, Yami-san."

"I have performed countless surgeries on the human body and have a very good understanding of the body's structure."

"The eye structure of the Uchiha clan isn't much different from that of ordinary people. If it's true, as you said, eye exchange can improve the purity of the bloodline; the success rate would be very high."

Vinsmoke Judge replied confidently.

The number of people who had been cut open by his hand was not few.

He had transformed the clone soldiers bit by bit and made them into what he thought was the most perfect level before starting to produce them.

He was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days after being able to perform this eye transplant surgery, especially after Yami explained to him the reasons and importance of the surgery.

While Yami was away, new supplies were sent from the Germa Kingdom, along with some of the instruments he needed, enough to complete the eye replacement surgery.

"Then get ready to start."

Yami didn't say much.

This kind of fanatic would give 120% to the things he loved and make them the best.
