"Gulp, gulp, gulp~" Uchiha Mei lifted the wine gourd and took several large swigs.
Seeing this, Uchiha Cai also took a large gulp of wine.
After a few drinks, Uchiha Mei's face flushed. He slammed the table and exclaimed, "Damn Yagura Karatachi! One of my Sharingan went blind just like that! I'm so unwilling!"
"Senior Mei, do you want me to kill the Fourth Mizukage for you?" Uchiha Cai asked, following Uchiha Mei's lead.
"Cai, don't be impulsive. Our strengths are similar. I wasn't his opponent, and you definitely aren't either.
Yagura Karatachi is very strong. He has a massive amount of Chakra and can use large-scale Water Release even where there is no water, and he also knows some very strange Water Release Ninjutsu. I admit I have no way to deal with these Ninjutsu.
Moreover, since I lost one of my Sharingan, you are the strongest person left in the Third Squad. I want to hand over the Third Squad's management to you."
"Senior Mei, are you really in such a hurry to step down? You only lost one Sharingan, you didn't go completely blind. Besides, there's a chance your eye can be restored."
Hearing this, Uchiha Mei gave a wry smile: "Heh! Restored eyesight? That's easy for you to say. Opening the Mangekyo Sharingan is something I wouldn't even dare to dream about."
"What if?"
Uchiha Mei pursed his lips and didn't reply, drinking the remaining wine in the gourd in one gulp.
"Well, sirs, Senior Mei's eye..."
"That's not something you should be asking about. You are not qualified to know right now," said Uchiha Cai.
Uchiha Mei waved his hand upon hearing that: "It's not like it's something unspeakable. Given En's talent, he'll open the Three Tomoe and rise to the upper ranks of the Police Force sooner or later. It's fine to tell him."
"Then Senior Mei, you tell him! I won't violate the rules set by my ancestor."
"Alright, I'll tell you! En, the reason my eye went blind is related to two Dojutsu of our Uchiha Clan, many years ago..."
Uchiha Mei detailed the origins of Izanagi and Izanami, and also explained the effects of both Dojutsu to Uchiha En.
(PS: Everyone should know the origins of Izanagi and Izanami, right? If you don't, you can search for them. I won't write them in the main text.)
Once Izanagi is activated, unfavorable events that occur within a certain period can be turned into non-events, only allowing favorable outcomes to become reality. The activation time varies depending on the user's ability, but the Sharingan will definitely go blind after use.
Furthermore, while the technique is active, even death can be altered from reality, making it a terrifying Dojutsu that grants the user invincibility.
Izanami, on the other hand, is the only Dojutsu capable of stopping Izanagi, and it also causes blindness after use.
The effect of Izanami is to record a sequence of actions taken by both the opponent and the user, and then make that identical sequence repeat again.
An opponent caught in the Genjutsu is trapped in the time loop between the first and second remembered sequences, entering a world of infinite recurrence. For the opponent to break free from this Genjutsu, they must accept their original fate and sincerely repent.
According to Uchiha Mei, these two Dojutsu are classified as Forbidden Dojutsu within the Uchiha Clan, and only the Clan Elders, high-ranking Police Force members, and the descendants of those who invented the Dojutsu are qualified to know about them.
But rules are rigid while people are flexible. In reality, quite a few people throughout the Uchiha Clan know about the existence of these two Dojutsu.
This is also why Uchiha Mei decided to tell Uchiha En about the matter.
"Senior Cai, you just said you didn't want to violate the rules set by your ancestor. Are you a descendant of the ancestor who invented these two Dojutsu?" Uchiha En asked tentatively.
"That's right, I am a descendant of Uchiha Jiri, the inventor of Izanami. Our branch is the only one in the entire Uchiha Clan whose hair color is slightly purple," said Uchiha Cai.
"Then, Senior Cai, is it true that you said the Sharingan could possibly be restored?"
"Of course it's true. Senior Mei just said it too—it can be restored by activating the Mangekyo.
There's actually a precedent for this in the clan. That ancestor's eye went blind after using Izanagi, just like Senior Mei's, but later, due to excessive grief over his wife's death, he awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, and the blind eye was restored along with it."
After hearing Uchiha Cai's words, Uchiha En couldn't help but think of Uchiha Madara.
In the original work, Uchiha Madara used Izanagi in advance during the Battle of the Valley of the End, sacrificing one eye to bite off a piece of flesh from Hashirama.
After the Izanagi technique took effect, Uchiha Madara revived, spat out the flesh, and implanted it into his wound, successfully obtaining Hashirama's Cells. He also successfully awakened the Rinnegan just as his lifespan was ending.
Uchiha En remembered that Uchiha Madara's two eyes both evolved into the Rinnegan, and the eye that had gone blind from using Izanagi also successfully evolved.
Combining this with Uchiha Cai's statement, Uchiha En basically confirmed that as long as the Sharingan evolves, a blind eye can be restored.
This gave Uchiha En a glimmer of hope. He secretly resolved that in the future, he must find a way to help Uchiha Mei's eye evolve and restore his sight.
The next morning, after Uchiha En ate breakfast, he arrived at the designated meeting spot.
When he arrived, Asana and Yamanaka Kagetsu were already there.
Uchiha En checked the time; it was still 15 minutes before 8 o'clock. He had arrived 15 minutes early, so why did it feel like he was late?
"When did you guys get here?" Uchiha En asked.
"I arrived at 7 o'clock and did a warm-up while I was waiting," Asana replied.
"I was here a little earlier than Asana, and I also warmed up first," Yamanaka Kagetsu said.
"Asana is understandable, she's always been quite diligent, but Kagetsu, why are you here so early too?"
"I don't want Senior Ding Yan's sacrifice to be in vain. I must be worthy of his sacrifice," Yamanaka Kagetsu said with a serious expression.
"It's good to have that resolve." Just as Yamanaka Kagetsu finished speaking, Aburame Shibi's voice came from behind him.
"Teacher Shibi, good morning!" Uchiha En greeted Aburame Shibi.
Aburame Shibi nodded and then began observing the condition of Uchiha En and the other two.
After a moment, Aburame Shibi nodded: "It seems none of you slacked off while I was away. Your strengths have all improved somewhat.
However, En, I suggest you lighten your weights. You are still young, and your bones haven't fully set. You can use weights to assist your training, but don't make them too heavy, or you might end up with hidden injuries, just like that person over there."
Uchiha En and the other two looked in the direction Aburame Shibi was pointing.
"When did Might Guy get so big?" Yamanaka Kagetsu asked with a strange tone.
