"You … You want my eyes!?"
Ningci looked surprised and his eyes were full of confusion.
Hyōjin in the shadow stared at Ningci and said: "I need a pair of pure and fresh Byakugan to relieve the trauma on my body now!"
Ningci hurriedly said: "But I am a branch family, I have been engraved with the 'Bird in the Cage'!"
Hyōjin was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Yes, because of the existence of the 'Bird in the Cage', if you choose to offer your eyes to me, your only end is death!"
Ningci was confused for a while. He didn't expect that Hyōjin called him here for his eyes.
Looking at Ningci's face sometimes struggling, sometimes tangled, and sometimes frightened, Hyōjin did not say anything more, but shrank in the shadow and waited quietly.
Hyōjin will not repeat the mistakes of Uchiha Madara, so his Tenseigan must be entrusted to a person who is absolutely trustworthy. If no one is trustworthy, it is better to keep it in a jar and slowly lose its activity than to give it to a person who cannot be trusted.
For this reason, he deliberately arranged this meeting in the cave.
In fact, he is not sure what choice Ningci will make now, maybe he will agree readily, maybe he will refuse, or even run away!
Because in this case, any choice is possible for Ningci, and any choice is understandable.
The human heart is the most vulnerable to temptation, and selfishness is the nature of human beings, so before arranging this test, Kuroto was already mentally prepared to accept everything.
I don't know how long it took, Ningci asked in a hoarse voice: "Sensei, can my Byakugan really help you?"
"Yeah."
Hyōjin responded softly.
Neji heaved a sigh of relief and said as if he had lost all his strength, "Then … then you can take it!"
"Is this your final decision?" Kuroto asked, enunciating each word clearly and slowly.
Ningci seemed to be speechless, but he forced himself to nod.
From Ningci's face, Hyōjin saw fear and cowardice, but also determination and stubbornness. It was a very complicated expression, so he could imagine the struggle in Ningci's heart at this moment.
But Ningci did not refuse, nor did he run away.
Hyōjin, who was in the shadows, raised the corner of his mouth slightly. His tone was still cold as he said, "This is not a matter of blindness. After I take away your eyes, you will definitely die. So don't worry about my identity as Naruto. I will allow you to back out."
Ningci heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had regained some of his strength.
Hyōjin said, "Okay, now tell me your decision again!"
"Thank you for giving me the chance to back out, but I won't. I'm willing to offer the Supercilious Eye, not because you are Naruto, but because you are my teacher!"
After saying that, Ningci looked at Hyōjin with some anxiety. Although he had made up his mind, he still felt a little scared when he was close to death.
"Heh …"
Suddenly, there was a chuckle in the shadows.
Ningci was confused: "Teacher, what are you laughing at?"
Hyōjin got up and walked to Ningci. He smiled and said: "I'm already dead, so I don't need your Supercilious Eye, but I need someone to help me nourish my eyes."
"You … You're dead?!"
Ningci was stunned.
Hyōjin glanced at Ningci: "What's so strange about dying once in a while?"
“???”
The confusion on Ning Ji's face deepened.
Hyōjin did not explain how he died, but turned around and opened a mechanism.
Click …
Suddenly, a stone door opened.
"Follow me!"
Hyōjin said and took the lead to step through the stone door.
Ningci hurriedly followed and found that behind the stone door was a brightly lit operating room full of various instruments, many of which he had never seen in Muye Hospital.
Hyōjin walked slowly to the nutrition tank containing his Tenseigan and explained to Ningci in a calm tone: "I'm indeed dead, but I have a way to resurrect, so you don't have to worry about this."
Ningci couldn't hide the shock on his face.
Death is very solemn in his eyes, it is the end of all existence, but when it comes from Hyōjin's mouth, it seems as if it's a common thing.
And not only death, but even resurrection, which only happens in legendary stories, seems to be easily done by his teacher, which makes him have an indescribable strange feeling.
"Just now was just a test for you, and your performance did not disappoint me." After a pause, Hyōjin continued to explain: "But I do need your help with one thing, not your Byakugan, but your living body, and your Byakugan Chakra, help me nourish my eyes and keep them alive."
"Yes!"
Although he didn't quite understand what Hyōjin said, Ningci still nodded subconsciously.
At this time, even if he is stupid, he can guess that Hyōjin Sensei must be planning something big, and this kind of thing that needs Naruto to personally handle is undoubtedly related to the survival of the village, and even the survival of the shinobi world, so at this time, his own life seems insignificant.
Hyōjin didn't know what Ningci was thinking in his mind. While preparing the surgical instruments, he casually asked Ningci: "You seem to envy Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan, right?"
Being seen through by Hyōjin, Ningci immediately lowered his head in guilt.
Kuroto has been concealing this thought very deeply, because he feels that he is a member of the Hyuga Clan, and he shouldn't envy Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan, but his repeated failures and Sasuke's dazzling performance made him envious and look forward to having a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan like Sasuke. How great would it be if he could have a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan like Sasuke?
If it was someone else, he wouldn't admit it, but in front of Hyōjin, he didn't dare to lie, so he just replied: "I'm sorry Sensei, I just think that the Uchiha Clan's Mangekyou Sharingan is very powerful, and our Byakugan doesn't have a similar powerful Pupillary Technique, so sometimes I envy Sasuke."
"Is that so …"
Hyōjin smiled casually.
Ningci hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, I will definitely correct this misconception."
Hyōjin shook his head and said with a smile: "Idiot, you don't have to apologize to me, I also have such a vision!"
Ningci was a little surprised: "Sensei also has such a thought?"
Hyōjin gently nodded: "Longing for powerful strength, this is the instinct of a ninja, and it shouldn't be criticized. As your Sensei, I'm sorry that I can't give you the Mangekyou Sharingan you want, but I can let you experience my eyes."
Ningci's eyes naturally fell on the nutrition can in Hyōjin's hand at this time.
Hyōjin raised the corner of his mouth: "Are you ready, young man?"
