Chapter 504 Eye Transplant
Inside the Root headquarters hidden in the darkness of Konoha Village, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy. All the Root ninjas seemed to be frozen in place, momentarily stunned, their faces showing disbelief.
In that instant, a strange feeling surged into their hearts—the sealing technique that had always been present on the tip of their tongues, like a leech clinging to their bones, had completely vanished without warning! This sudden change caused a dramatic shift in everyone's expression in an instant.
It's important to understand that for these Root ninjas, the cursed seal on their tongues is no ordinary object. It was meticulously carved with the blood of the awe-inspiring Danzo Shimura and placed on each Root ninja as a unique mark. This cursed seal not only represents their identity as members of Root, but also serves as a powerful means of restraint and control.
Normally, this cursed seal would only dissipate and lose its effect when Shimura Danzo himself dies. Now that the cursed seals of all the Root ninjas have simultaneously lost their effect, it means... that Shimura Danzo, who had only recently ascended to the position of acting Hokage, has met with misfortune and died! Thinking of this, a wave of shock surged through everyone's hearts, and they were unable to calm down for a long time.
A group of agile individuals sped off like arrows towards the towering, imposing Hokage Building. For these loyal followers, single-mindedly devoted to Konoha, delivering this crucial intelligence to the village's leadership was of paramount importance. Only in this way could they ensure Konoha could formulate a comprehensive and effective response in the shortest possible time.
When this urgent intelligence reached the upper echelons of Konoha, everyone present was unanimously shocked and stunned. Although many among them harbored reservations or even disgust towards Shimura Danzo's unconventional style and autocratic methods, at this moment, Shimura Danzo was, after all, representing Konoha Village at the world-renowned Five Kage Summit in the Land of Iron! If their village's representative were to die inexplicably in a foreign land, it would undoubtedly deal an immeasurable blow to the powerful deterrent and lofty authority that Konoha Village had established in the outside world.
For the upper echelons of Konoha, obtaining crucial intelligence as quickly as possible is paramount. Only then can they swiftly formulate effective strategies and measures to ensure the village's safety and stability. However, Konoha currently faces an extremely thorny problem—a leaderless state! The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, remains in a coma and is unable to fulfill her leadership duties. While other Konoha leaders possess considerable status, they lack the authority and position to directly command and coordinate the village's numerous ninja. This has plunged Konoha's leadership into chaos. Various opinions and voices rise and fall, making consensus difficult and the decision-making process exceptionally slow and arduous. Faced with this dire situation, Konoha's future is fraught with uncertainty and crisis.
In that breathtaking moment, Sasuke Uchiha and Danzo Shimura engaged in an extremely fierce battle! Both exchanged blows, neither giving an inch, each move carrying deadly power. Sasuke displayed his unparalleled ninjutsu skills, flames and lightning intertwining to create a dazzling spectacle. However, Danzo Shimura, as the head of Konoha's ANBU, was no less formidable, countering Sasuke's attacks with unpredictable and unpredictable methods.
After a grueling and arduous battle, Sasuke, through sheer willpower and immense strength, finally defeated Danzo Shimura. However, he paid a heavy price – his body was covered in wounds, large and small, and his clothes were stained with blood. Exhausted, Sasuke desperately needed time to recuperate and regain his strength so he could continue his journey and face the challenges ahead.
The mysterious masked man seemed to have been secretly observing the battle's progress. When he saw Sasuke win but be severely injured, he revealed himself without hesitation and quickly took Sasuke away from the smoke-filled battlefield. They sped along, soon arriving at the secret hideout where the Akatsuki organization was now operating.
This base was relatively quiet and safe, allowing Sasuke to recuperate in peace. However, Sasuke's injuries were far more serious than they appeared. His recently awakened Mangekyou Sharingan, in particular, was now extremely fatigued due to overuse in battle. His once clear and sharp vision was gradually becoming blurry, as if shrouded in a thick fog. This was undoubtedly a huge hidden danger for Sasuke; if he didn't receive timely and effective treatment and repair, it could have an immeasurable impact on his future strength.
The mysterious masked man narrowed his eyes slightly, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips. In a deep, magnetic voice, he said, "Uchiha Sasuke, I have an excellent suggestion that can lend you a hand!" The masked man paused, then continued, "You should know that Uchiha Itachi possesses an incredibly powerful Mangekyou Sharingan. If it could be transplanted into you, your power would experience a qualitative leap!"
As he spoke, he pointed at Uchiha Sasuke, as if he could already see him become an unparalleled powerhouse. "Moreover, if you successfully transplant these eyes, your Mangekyou Sharingan can evolve further, moving towards the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan! Just imagine the earth-shattering changes that unparalleled ocular power will bring you!"
However, the masked man didn't stop there. He leaned closer to Uchiha Sasuke and continued in a low voice, "Right now, you're already struggling so much just against Shimura Danzo. If you want to achieve revenge as quickly as possible, your current strength is far from enough. Only by rapidly increasing your strength in this way will you have a chance to complete the subsequent series of difficult revenge plans. Otherwise, it's all just empty talk..." After saying this, the masked man stood there quietly, waiting for Uchiha Sasuke to make a decision.
Now, Sasuke Uchiha has a very clear and profound understanding of his own strength, and he is no longer the arrogant and conceited person he was when he first awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. He once thought that he could dominate the world with this powerful eye technique, but his encounter with the Five Kage was like a bucket of ice water, completely waking him from his self-indulgent dream.
Especially when he faced Danzo Shimura and the other Kage-level ninjas from various villages, the terrifying strength they displayed was beyond his imagination! Their overwhelming power and unfathomable techniques made Sasuke deeply aware of his own insignificance and powerlessness. Every encounter was like throwing an egg against a rock; no matter how hard he attacked, he couldn't budge his opponent in the slightest. The despair and helplessness he felt facing such powerful enemies were etched into his memory, something he never wanted to experience again.
More importantly, Sasuke knew that his path to revenge had only taken its first, insignificant step, and he had already suffered such a heavy blow. If he were to truly confront the entire Hidden Leaf Village, that behemoth with countless skilled fighters and a deep foundation, he couldn't even imagine the desperate situation and predicament he would face. Perhaps the feeling of powerlessness then would be a hundred or a thousand times stronger than it was now, and he might not even have a chance to fight back... Thinking of this, Sasuke clenched his fists tightly, secretly vowing to become stronger, strong enough to defeat all enemies who stood in his way of revenge!
After careful consideration, Sasuke Uchiha finally agreed to the masked man's seemingly tempting but actually dangerous proposal. For Sasuke at this point, rapidly increasing his strength had become an almost obsessive desire and need. Only with sufficient power could he possibly realize the revenge plan that had long been hidden in his heart.
The harrowing battle he had just experienced was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the depths of Sasuke's heart. Through this intense clash, he gained a clearer and more visceral understanding of the terrifying power possessed by the supreme ninjas who stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world. Their strength far exceeded Sasuke's current comprehension. It was no exaggeration to say that, with his current abilities and level, defeating any one of them was nothing short of a pipe dream.
Not only that, even Konoha, long considered the strongest ninja village, has now become an insurmountable mountain in Sasuke's eyes. Konoha is teeming with powerful ninjas and possesses a deep-rooted foundation; its overall strength is far beyond Sasuke's current capabilities. Faced with such a behemoth, Sasuke knows that the road ahead is still very, very long…
Although he didn't want to transplant Itachi's eyes, Sasuke had no choice due to the demands of reality. Moreover, based on the strength of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan described by the masked man and Itachi, it should be enough to support him in completing his revenge and providing final solace to the departed Uchiha clan.
And so, Sasuke Uchiha lay quietly on the hospital bed, his eyes closed, as if entering a long slumber. He had just undergone a terrifying surgery—an eye transplant—a procedure that not only altered a part of his body but also ushered him into an unknown journey.
