Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Itachi’s Plane of Consciousness

In the bleak and dark place of Itachi’s consciousness, Kuroto's arrival was like a beam of light that descended from heaven, it pierced through the curtain of hopelessness and dispelled all the darkness inside.

“Kuroto-san!” muttered Itachi with a tired expression.

While continuing to hover in the air, Kuroto looked at Itachi and, muttered, “You don’t seem to be doing too well.”

Itachi sighed, and answered with a bitter expression, “I am sorry Kuroto-san. It seems I am unable to do it.”

Kuroto was disappointed, “Is this the extent of your determination to protect your family and your clan? You should be aware of the path the Uchiha Clan is taking… and what will happen after the Vote of Confidence occurs… in that situation, the Uchiha Clan will require you to be there… but how will you be there? How will you protect the Uchiha Clan if you can’t even protect yourself.”

Itachi looked down, and muttered, “It’s just so difficult.” And added with a painful expression, “This is difficult, protecting my clan is difficult, protecting the village is difficult… everything is difficult… I… I am tired of continuously facing these difficulties!”

Kuroto was taken aback by Itachi’s sudden outburst and realized that no matter how perfect he is, no matter how excellent he is, Itachi is a child nonetheless who has been burdened with heavy responsibilities from the moment he was born.

Be that as it may, Kuroto cannot allow Itachi to give up, and spoke, “It’s unbelievable to see you give up and admit defeat. Very well… if you want to give up on the difficult path, then so be it, you will be using your father’s Mangekyou Sharingan… and the difficult path… the one involving the implantation of Shodaime-sama’s cells will be left for your younger brother Sasuke.”

Given Sasuke’s talent, Itachi believes that it won’t be strange if he were to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan. If he does awaken those eyes, Sasuke will also need their father’s eyes to awaken the eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Obviously, Itachi has known about this all along, and here comes the problem, if he were to fail now, he will have to choose the easy option, and leave the difficult option of undergoing the implantation operation to his younger brother Sasuke.

How can he allow such a thing to happen?

‘I cannot allow myself to fail this thing otherwise Sasuke will have to bear this excruciating pain!’

“No… I haven’t given up yet.” Spoke Itachi with a newfound determination.

Kuroto nodded with a smile, “Very well… I will be waiting outside. Show me that your determination is not baseless.”

Shinichi’s Plane of Consciousness

The exhausted Shinichi raised his head and looked at Kuroto bathed in light, and muttered with a chuckle, “Boss, you are so dazzling.”

“Stop playing dead… and get up.” Spoke Kuroto.

Shinichi shook his head with a tired expression, “It’s difficult for me… I am tired. You know… I have been living on the edge for the past decade, I can’t do it anymore!”

“Is that so?” muttered Kuroto, and nodded, “Very well, if that’s the case then forget it. I guess you are trash after all.”

Shinichi looked at Kuroto in surprise. He didn’t expect that Kuroto would directly label him as trash.

Feeling Shinichi’s surprised and suspicious gaze, Kuroto explained, “If you can’t succeed in this operation, then your Visual Prowess won’t be restored. Without your Visual Prowess, you barely have any strength… doesn’t that mean you are just trash?” and added with a chuckle, “I pity Uchiha Kurumi… she gave up her life for you… but here you are… nothing more than trash. It seems you have completely forgotten about her; I guess she didn’t really mean much to you, right? Moreover, it’s been so long… obviously, you don’t care about her anymore, am I right?”

“Boss… do you have to be so cruel?” spoke Shinichi as he struggled to get up with every ounce of strength he could muster.

Kuroto remained silent and watched as Shinichi got up from the ground, and complained, “Did you not say that even if we fail in the first attempt, we can try again? I… I am not in the right mood at the moment, perhaps we should try this after a while?”

Kuroto shook his head, “Forget what I said… it seems me telling you this has backfired… you seem to have developed a mentality that failures are acceptable… with this mentality, let alone one or two… even hundreds of attempts will result in failure! So, here’s the deal… this is your only chance, if you fail now, then that’s it. There won’t be a second attempt, you will be discarded like a piece of trash!”

The Yang Chakra in Hashirama cells is the representation of the ultimate life force, only with the strength of the soul, that is, willpower… which is Visual Prowess can a person contain this life force.

So, the success of the implantation operation is directly linked to a person’s willpower. The primary factor is willpower, other factors come into play later. If one has the necessary willpower, one will succeed even without any resources, just like Madara, but if they don’t have the willpower, no matter how many resources are provided, they will still fail!

This is because, if a person has a retreat, then their willpower will weaken, and by extension, their Visual Prowess will weaken.

Hearing Kuroto’s words, Shinichi nodded after a while of silence, “All right, I will do my best!”

Kuroto nodded, “Hmm.” And as he turned around, he spoke, “I will be waiting outside, don’t let me see your ugliness. I don’t want to discard you, but if you fail, then that’s it.”

Leaving such words, Kuroto left.

Just as Kuroto left, the dazzling light that dispelled the darkness in Shinichi’s Plane of Consciousness also disappeared.

As darkness started to cover him once again, Shinichi started running… attempting to catch up with the disappearing light.

Operation Room

“Huh? This is…” muttered Samsara in surprise. She was surprised to find that the raging Yang chakra in the bodies of Itachi and Shinichi was starting to calm down.

Retrieving his consciousness back to his body, Kuroto instructed Samsara, “All right, stop absorbing Chakra.”

Samsara hesitated a little but followed Kuroto’s instructions and immediately stopped sucking out the Yang chakra from their bodies.

With that out of the way, Kuroto injected another dose of Fusion Fluid into their bodies. Although injecting the second dose would put more burden on their bodies, it will make things a little easier for the two.

As the second dosage of Fusion fluid took effect, the operation room returned to silence.

This time, Itachi and Shinichi were unusually quiet. They clenched their teeth and silently bore the pain. Except for the occasional grunts, both of them kept their eyes closed and feigned sleep.

Kuroto kept a watch on both of them. Although he acted cold and indifferent to them a while ago, he does care.

And he could see that both of them were fighting desperately.

After a while, Samsara exclaimed in surprise, “Kuroto-sama, they… they have found a way!”

Kuroto nodded with a smile, “Indeed they did.” And instructed, “Transfer back the absorbed Yang Chakra.”
