Chapter 44 Ling feels confused

"So... what is Akihiko's decision? Or, what is Akihiko going to do after he learns about the Mangekyō Sharingan?"

Uchiha Akihiko raised his eyes to look at Ling who was sitting opposite him, and looked away after a while, "I plan to find an opportunity to die in front of Kazuhiko later, and then transplant my eyes to him...

It can not only allow Kazuhiko to gain more powerful strength, but also preserve a pair of eternal Mangekyō Sharingan for the clan... This is the best solution I can think of."

"Didn't I tell you? Don't let your bloodline limit control you." Ling sighed and shook his head. "Things haven't even gotten to that point yet and you've already chosen the worst-case scenario and sentenced yourself to death... You still have the nerve to call me extreme."

Uchiha Akihiko pouted unabashedly, "...Then what do you say we should do?"

"Like I said before, the stone tablet I saw only said that our Uchiha clan would gain more powerful power under chance. Now it seems that this so-called powerful power is undoubtedly the Mangekyō Sharingan, but this "chance" is still debatable."

Ling raised his hand and gently stroked his chin, "If we can only rely on the people who have lost their loved ones to gain strength, our ancestors should have written something like [a turning point in times of grief and despair] instead of something like [coincidence] - unless the opportunity at that time is not the same as our current opportunity.

And the emphasis on sacrificing blood relatives is also suspicious - even if the last record says something like "I wanted my dead relatives to continue to be by my side, so I dug out their eyes and merged them, and finally figured out a way to evolve" I would believe it without hesitation, but now... there are too many doubts. "

"Whether it is true or not, the facts are before us... It's not just my Mangekyō Sharingan. The tribesmen who had their eyes opened before all experienced immense despair. I saw all of this with my own eyes from the various pupil powers left on the stone tablet... Ling, sometimes people really need to accept their fate. You don't need to persuade me anymore. I'm very calm and have made up my mind—"

"Stop it." Ling raised his hand, his expression was indescribably complicated, but a closer look revealed his helplessness. "You are not like me, with your eye sockets completely destroyed and unable to transplant eyes... At worst, you can dig out your eyes and give them to Kazuhiko, and then transplant a pair. Why are you trying to commit suicide? Compared to that, the most important thing is to think of a way to open Kazuhiko's eyes without suffering, right?"

Uchiha Akihiko: ...Yes.

"Tsk, those old immortals in the clan said I was possessed..." Uchiha Akihiko raised his hand to cover his forehead, his face slightly red, "And you said it so bluntly, it's really... damn it, I want to find a hole in the ground to crawl into."

"Hey, hey, be respectful to the elders..." Ling sighed, "You used to be very thoughtful, but now your judgment has declined to this extent...

It seems that I need to re-evaluate the impact of the Mangekyō Sharingan on me after it is opened. Although it is a bit troublesome, can I ask Akihiko to help me engrave the information you can see on the stone tablet? I want to study it a little bit. "

"Hmm? Okay, okay," Uchiha Akihiko glanced at the bamboo book Ling had placed aside, "I'll help you carve a copy when I go to the stone tablet to record the information on the Mangekyo after my injury heals."

"Well, please, I always feel that this matter is a bit strange... maybe we have a more peaceful way to open the eyes." Ling frowned slightly, "And to be honest, Akihiko, your current chakra is very different from before. It gives me a very cold feeling. Your pessimistic thinking is also likely to be affected by this chakra. You have to pay more attention to this aspect in the future."

Uchiha Akihiko also thought of the stupidity he had just done and immediately covered his face, "I know, I will think twice before taking action next time... Okay, that's all I have to say, I'm leaving now."

"Wait a minute, I have something else to ask you."

Uchiha Akihiko then raised his head again, "...what?"

"You just said that you would go to the stone tablet to record the pupil technique after you recover from your injuries, right? Is it your unique pupil technique for the Kaleidoscope?"

"Well, what's wrong? In addition to the instructions for using the Mangekyō Sharingan, it also records the unique eye techniques of each generation of the Mangekyō Sharingan."

Ling lowered his head and thought for a moment before speaking, "How many unique pupil techniques did Zhao Yan awaken?"

"...I only have two eyes, of course they are two different types." Uchiha Akihiko crossed his arms, "Why? Do you want me to tell you what my eye techniques are?"

"No, I want you to only record one pupil technique on it this time. After I read the engraved book you brought back and think about it, we can have a detailed discussion. Then you can use the excuse of awakening again to engrave the information on the stone tablet again - it must be completely consistent with the content of the stone tablet, including the strokes."

Uchiha Akihiko: ...

Although he felt that Ling was simply looking for an excuse to make trouble for him, Uchiha Akihiko did not refute. He nodded and said that he would do so. Then he did not stay any longer and stood up to say goodbye to Ling.

Ling did not try to persuade him to stay, but just stood up and walked him to the door.

But seeing Ling's unhindered movements even without a cane, Uchiha Akihiko's expression became strange, "...Have you developed some strange ninjutsu again?"

Ling tilted his head when he heard this, "Huh? What do you mean by developing a strange ninjutsu?"

"No... you are now... um-"

"Ah, you are wondering why I didn't bring a cane?" Ling chuckled, "After the last sparring with you, my perception in all aspects, including my physical fitness, has improved. In addition, I have adapted to the darkness. I just walked you to the door and back, so I don't need a cane to assist my perception."

Uchiha Akihiko opened his mouth but couldn't ask anything in the end. He just smiled and said teasingly, "...You really have always been ahead of us, no matter in the past or now."

Ling:……?

"What...you're suddenly laughing so disgustingly."

"Ah, think about it, the end point of the Mangekyō Sharingan is blindness, so you've leapt a huge step forward for us, haven't you? With you leading the way, maybe we can even put together a special force?"

Ling thought about it seriously for a moment and said, "I don't think it's possible. After all, among the people who can open their eyes, Hong is the only one who has the perception system...

As for the rest of you... I'm sorry, Akihiko, I really don't look down on you, but there are some things that you really can't do without the perception system."

Uchiha Akihiko: ...Are you allergic to jokes?
