Chapter 52: Doubts about the Mangekyo Sharingan

  Uchiha Ryo, who believed that the ancestors had fabricated certain deeds, rolled up the first volume of the Bamboo Carving Book and pced it beside him, paying no more attention to it. Instead, he took out the second volume and began to read it carefully, exploring the content.

  Compared to the unreliable stories in the first volume, the records in the second were much more formal. The first thing it introduced was the ability that every pair of Mangekyo Sharingan possessed—the Susanoo.

  The Susanoo is the ultimate strength residing in the Mangekyo Sharingan. Strictly speaking, it is not formed by pupil power. Instead, it is a manifestation. A rge amount of chakra is guided by one's own pupil power and then materialized to form it.

  Moreover, depending on one's personality and attributes, it will present different colors and chakra weapons, making it a well - deserved powerful weapon in battle.

  However, there is one thing to note. The pupil power stored in the Mangekyo Sharingan is limited, and the ratio of the recovery speed to the consumption speed when using eye jutsu is an astonishing one to ten thousand.

  That is to say, the pupil power consumed when using eye jutsu will take ten thousand times the time it takes to use it to recover.

  More intuitively, if you use the Mangekyo for a full hour, it'll take 417 days without using it to recover the consumed pupil power.

  As the pupil power decreases, one's eyesight will be affected. The consumption of pupil power is high, and the recovery is slow, with a significant impact. In this era where people don't live long and battle intensity is high, it's like shoving the word 'blindness' right in the Uchiha cn's face.

  "Hmm... So is the need for another pair of Mangekyo Sharingan to repce this kind of loss?" Ryo stroked his chin. "And the pupil power that can be stored after the fusion of two pairs of eyes should also increase..."

  "But why do they have to be the eyes of a blood retive? Could it be that the eyes retain the will of the owner and thus affect the fusion? Or is it that without the same bloodline, they cannot be fused properly? Well... I should find an opportunity to ask Hiro about this."

  "Let me see what's next... Blood Inheritance Disease?"

  Prematurely awakening the Sharingan and the Mangekyo Sharingan might cause the pupil power to erode the body. After contracting the Blood Inheritance Disease, it can be treated and alleviated with Yang - attribute chakra, but it cannot be completely cured. The internal organs will gradually necrotize and lead to death. The best time to awaken the Sharingan is after the age of ten, and for the Mangekyo, it should be after the even ter age of fifteen...

  "Oh, then it's very likely that I could have contracted the Blood Inheritance Disease back then... And Akihiko isn't even fifteen yet, right? I have to urge him to have a physical examination ter. But using Yang - attribute chakra to alleviate it..."

  Among ninja cns that use Yang - attribute Healing Technique, the most well - known one is probably the Uzumaki cn. With such a bad retionship between the Uchiha cn and the Uzumaki cn, it would be very difficult to get treatment from them. Moreover, due to the Uzumaki cn's alliance with the Senju cn, there is a natural ck of trust...

  Could it be that if such a situation occurs ter, I have to capture an Uzumaki cn member alive and use genjutsu to control them to assist in the treatment? But most of them probably have Sealing Tags set up in their bodies. Sigh—I really don't want to deal with those guys with all sorts of strange methods.

  Uchiha Ryo's expression turned a bit more distressed. He read the contents of this Scroll over and over again, but in the end, he could only let out a sigh. He carefully rolled up this Scroll, pced it on the table, and then reached for the next one.

  Compared with the first Scroll, which was just annoying, the second Scroll contained so much useful information that Uchiha Ryo couldn't take it all in at once. He decided to put it away properly and read it ter.

  The third Scroll recorded how to love someone and then kill them to awaken his Sharingan, or how to guide the person you love to awaken it through suicide.

  In summary, it taught those aiming to awaken the Mangekyo to deliberately create tragedies for Strength. It also advised having many descendants to secure this power and even suggested taking a child's eyes if necessary. After Uchiha Ryo finished reading it patiently, he rolled it up and threw it at his feet just like the first one - another piece of junk.

  He thought about how Akihiko, who used to have a positive outlook, had become so pessimistic. It turned out that these unreliable ancestors were deliberately leading him astray. As ancestors, shouldn't they try to solve problems for their descendants? Instead of solving problems, they even created more for the younger generation. Were they just hoping for the family to die out?

  When he opened the fourth Scroll, it recorded all kinds of medical knowledge about eyes, including the removal, transpntation, and preservation of the Sharingan. Uchiha Ryo just skimmed through it briefly and then rolled it up and pced it on the table. Each has his own specialty, and this Mystical Palm Technique didn't suit him. He would give it to Hiro ter to learn, and he only needed a simple understanding.

  Just as he finished reading this Scroll and was about to reach for the fifth one, Uchiha Akihiko came with a Ninjutsu Scroll. After they greeted each other, Uchiha Akihiko gnced at the two Bamboo Carving Books on the floor. "Are the first and third Scrolls useless?"

  "It's just a load of crap," Uchiha Ryo said as he opened the fifth Scroll, looking uncharacteristically annoyed. "You just need to know what's on them. Only a fool would take it seriously. Hey, when you leave, give the fourth Scroll to Hiro. Tell him to return it to me after he's done learning it."

  "Sure," Uchiha Akihiko nodded. Looking at Uchiha Ryo's action of stroking the engraved marks, he added, "After the fifth Scroll, it records personal Mangekyo jutsu and the process of awakening the Mangekyo. I carved down all the parts that were still legible. Just read it slowly. This part is quite interesting."

  Uchiha Ryo nodded slightly. "Okay, I'll ask you if I have any questions."

  After that, the two of them sat on either side of the table. One was carefully carving on the Bamboo Carving Book, and the other was studying the ninjutsu recorded in the Ninjutsu Scroll. They would exchange ideas from time to time, creating a rather peaceful atmosphere.

  As time passed, Uchiha Ryo finally finished reading all nine Bamboo Carving Books. The strange and powerful eye jutsu recorded in these Scrolls even made Uchiha Ryo suspect that the Uchiha ancestors had some connection with the Uzumaki cn.

  What surprised Uchiha Ryo even more was that among the recorded eye jutsu, there were hardly any duplicates. At most, only three or four out of every hundred eye jutsu were duplicates. Moreover, these duplicate eye jutsu belonged to different users. Due to their different personalities, these users had come up with different ways to use them.

  [Now I get why the traditional Gitai of the Uchiha cn is all about showing off skills,] Uchiha Ryo sighed softly, feeling extremely eager. [Who wouldn't go wild with all sorts of combat styles if they had korega?]

  Tsk, I was too hasty back then. I should have awakened the Mangekyo and given it a try before going blind... Come to think of it, wasn't I in an intense emotional state even when I was on the verge of death?

  Well—there are still a lot of Doubts about the Mangekyo Sharingan, though.
