Chapter 209: I Have a Road on the Sea

Uchiha Miao, who was nearly eighty years old, had a trace of surprise on his old face. His eyes were covered by drooping eyelids, and only dots of red light overflowed, giving people a sense of dignity.

"That's not it, but our goal should be big cousin's Mangekyo Sharingan!"

Uchiha Gin shook his head, indicating that he had no intention of donating for the time being. After all, Uchiha Madara himself was unwilling, and no one could force him.

"Gin, Madara's vision has blurred to the point of not being able to see things within a few meters."

Uchiha Tajima, hearing Uchiha Gin's answer, first breathed a sigh of relief, then adjusted his glasses and said slowly,

"So you still decided to transplant your eyes to Madara?"

Uchiha Gin, who skillfully pulled out a chair and sat down, looked at his old uncle with deep helplessness in his eyes,

"That's right, even if it's by unconventional means, I must transplant my Mangekyo to him."

Uchiha Tajima, who was fifty-four years old this year, felt that he was of no use to the family. A few years ago, he had completely handed over the government affairs to Uchiha Madara and his brother, and he himself lived in retirement.

However, seeing his excellent son facing the threat of blindness, Uchiha Tajima gritted his teeth and decided that no matter what, he would stuff his eyes to Uchiha Madara this time and let him see the light again.

"Elder Miao, do you think it will work?"

Facing his old uncle who had made up his mind, Uchiha Gin didn't waste any more words, but turned to ask the scientist Uchiha Miao,

"I can't guarantee it will definitely succeed. After all, there was only one successful fusion case before."

Uchiha Miao shook his head. The data he had on hand was really too little, and whether the successful case could be replicated was an unknown. When mentioning the precedent, his gaze looked toward Uchiha Gin.

After all, Uchiha Gin in front of him was an experimental subject who had once participated in the birth of the Eternal

"It will work!"

Facing Uchiha Miao's hesitation, Uchiha Tian Dao appeared full of confidence, which couldn't help but pique Uchiha Gin's curiosity. He didn't dawdle and directly pressed for an answer,

"Uncle, why are you so certain?"

After all, among the recorded Mangekyo in the Uchiha clan, only Little Guang had obtained the Eternal Mangekyo, and he had transplanted the eyes of someone who was not a blood relative. Why did Uncle think his own eyes could help his eldest cousin obtain the Eternal Mangekyo? It was simply too suspicious.

"Uh, since we are all family, I will no longer hide it."

Facing his eldest nephew's questioning, Uchiha Tian Dao pondered for a moment, then raised his head and spoke,

"Our Uchiha clan has a stone tablet passed down for a thousand years. The secret language on it can only be deciphered by the Sharingan. Ordinary Three-Tomoe can only see the title, but my Mangekyo can see more content, including the method to awaken the Eternal Mangekyo."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gin's body stiffened, and a sense of foreboding arose in his heart, as if a certain 'Little Black' were lurking in the shadows, coveting him.

Fine, fine, fine. I almost forgot about this bird-brained stone tablet. According to the timeline, that stone tablet has already been altered beyond recognition by that 'filial son.' So, what Uncle saw must be the content that Black Zetsu wanted Uncle to see.

"It seems there is someone even more anxious than us."

Uchiha Gin instantly understood the ins and outs of this matter. Nowadays, among those who want his eldest cousin to awaken the Eternal Mangekyo, the 'filial son' who is desperate to save his mother is the most anxious.

The reincarnation of Asura has already gathered all the conditions, but he didn't expect a hitch on the side of Indra's reincarnation. Uchiha Madara's Eternal Mangekyo is delayed in awakening, so that 'filial son' cannot show the subsequent content on the stone tablet to his eldest cousin.

The Rinnegan is still a long way off~

"The stone tablet records that the light blooming from the Mangekyo will gradually dim until blindness occurs, unless one obtains the ocular power of another person whose light is also blooming. Only then can it bloom permanently. The closer the blood relation, the higher the success rate."

Seeing Uchiha Gin fall into deep thought, Uchiha Tian Dao spilled the beans and shared the content he had seen,

"Indeed, according to science, the closer the blood relation, the lower the organ rejection rate."

Uchiha Miao nodded in agreement upon hearing this. He was a man who believed in science. If the level of technology were high enough in the future, it wouldn't be impossible to use artificial prosthetic eyes to utilize the Mangekyo.

"Fine, fine, fine. Then, Uncle, how do you plan to act? Even if the eldest cousin is on the verge of blindness, you wouldn't be able to get close to him, right?"

It wasn't that Uchiha Gin looked down on Uchiha Tian Dao; he was over fifty years old and shaking all day long. Even if his eldest cousin were truly blind, he could still pilot his Susanoo and hack him until he was howling.

"So I want to transplant my eyes to him while Madara is undergoing his routine check-up with Elder Miao."

So that was why Uncle came to find Uchiha Miao for this matter.

"I think that's inappropriate."

Uchiha Gin immediately shook his head, rejecting Uchiha Tian Dao's plan,

"Why?"

"Uncle, don't you understand the eldest cousin's character? Unless he is willing, even if you secretly transplant the Mangekyo to him, he would gouge them out on the spot and give them back to you."

The Uchiha clan is born with a paranoid mindset, commonly known as being stubborn. They all look incredibly cunning, but in reality, they are incredibly honest.

"Sigh, but how will we know if we don't try? What if..."

Uchiha Tian Dao sighed, his dim eyes filled with helplessness. He raised his son, so he naturally knew his son's temperament. But these are special times, and for the sake of the clan's future, he is willing to take the risk.

"Stop, don't try. If you try, he won't even make a sound; the eldest cousin will gouge them out for you in a minute~"

Uchiha Gin raised his hand to stop Uchiha Tian Dao's subsequent words, raised an eyebrow, and said with a strange expression,

"Actually, this matter isn't too difficult, it's just..."

"Don't mumble, spit it out if you have something to say!"

Seeing the teasing expression on Uchiha Gin's face, Uchiha Tian Dao became angry and immediately shouted.

It's already this late, and he's still playing coy. Is he really my nephew?

"Uncle, do you still remember my profession?"

"A salted fish?"

"Tsk! Not the current one. Think carefully, what have I held before?"

"A widow's water carrier?"

"No!"

"Then I really can't think of it~"

"A director! Have you forgotten?"

"Huh?"

Reminded by Uchiha Gin, Uchiha Tian Dao finally remembered that the eldest nephew before him had once directed a textbook-level cinematic masterpiece, successfully helping his two sons awaken the Mangekyo.

"You have another script?"

Uchiha Tian Dao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked,

"Guaranteed~"

Uchiha Gin squinted, nodded with certainty, and gave Uchiha Tian Dao an 'OK' gesture, indicating that he should leave it to him and that he would definitely be satisfied.

"Tell me quickly!"

Uchiha Tian Dao, whose interest had been piqued, demanded a spoiler on the spot, and Uchiha Miao, who was on the side, also leaned in, wanting to hear what clever method Uchiha Gin had.

"Ahem... The plot this time is very simple. Uncle, you go for a stroll on the battlefield, and I will play that white-haired guy from the Senju clan and stab you in the kidney. You pretend to be on the verge of death, and your dying wish will be to entrust the Mangekyo to the eldest cousin, letting him lead the Uchiha to victory~"

Without playing coy like before, Uchiha Gin recounted the basic plot,

Although simple, it is very practical.

It's fine, small is also cute~

"I think it's feasible. The plot rhythm is light and fast, fits reality, is smooth and not melodramatic, and most importantly, it doesn't test acting skills."

Before Uchiha Tian Dao could comment, Uchiha Miao spoke up first, nodding and sharing his humble opinion.

"Uh, I think it's not bad either."

Since his words had been used up, Uchiha Tian Dao could only say dryly that it was not bad, but then he frowned and asked,

"Then after I fake my death, how do I resurrect? I haven't learned the Yin Seal!"

"No need, just make the fake act real; dying is enough."

Uchiha Gin shook his head, and the words he spoke made the two elderly men present feel a chill down their spines. The looks they gave him were filled with vigilance.

"Huh? Don't look at me with those eyes; I have my reasons for this."

Seeing that he was about to be misunderstood again, Uchiha Gin hurriedly waved his hands and explained,

"Go ahead and speak, I definitely won't beat you to death."

Uchiha Tian Dao rolled up his sleeves, preparing to properly teach his rebellious eldest nephew a lesson.

"Ahem... Uncle, you should be able to understand the current situation, right?"

Uchiha Gin scratched his curly hair, looked at Uchiha Tian Dao, who had a questioning look on his face, and said slowly,

"Senju Hashirama's determination to unify the Ninja World of the Land of Fire is self-evident. Except for the Uchiha clan, other resisting families have either been destroyed or have submitted. And the eldest cousin's submission is just a matter of time, right~"

Upon hearing Uchiha Gin's analysis, Uchiha Tian Dao clearly couldn't hold his face up. He naturally knew some inside information about the entanglement between Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama. The reason the two families could still fight for so many years was because his son wanted to suppress the other side.

But reality is cruel. Uchiha Madara's battle record has never been ideal. It is estimated that when he can't even scrape the other side anymore, his Dao heart will collapse, and the two families will shake hands and make peace.

"Impossible! Once Madara transplants my Mangekyo and becomes the Eternal Mangekyo, he will definitely win!"

Uchiha Tian Dao, unwilling to admit that his son was inferior to Senju Hashirama, retorted stubbornly,

"Huh? It's not like you haven't been knocked on the head by a Wood Human~"

Uchiha Gin rolled his eyes, exposing Uchiha Tian Dao's old bottom.

"Since I can't beat him anyway, why bother faking my death!"

Uchiha Tian Dao, who clearly lacked confidence, stiffened his neck and retorted with a flushed face,

"Sigh~ Uncle, speaking of why I insist on you faking your death, I have to mention my other plan."

Uchiha Gin's expression changed from the previous teasing to a serious one. With a pair of dead fish eyes filled with seriousness, he looked at his most trusted uncle and said slowly,

"Uncle, I have a path on the sea. The benefits obtained after the matter is accomplished are something you wouldn't even dare to imagine in your lifetime. I hope you can seize this opportunity~"
