Naruto: Starting with Snatching the Mangekyō Sharingan

Time flew by, and soon it was July of Konoha's 52nd year.

In the past four months, the situation in the ninja world had gradually stabilized. The confrontations between Konoha and Kumogakure were limited, with no large-scale battles breaking out. Both sides' commanders displayed exceptional patience, maintaining a stalemate without escalating the conflict.

Despite this relative calm, neither side reduced their military presence. Instead, the number of shinobi deployed on each side rose from an initial 1,000 to around 2,000. Konoha, bolstered by the substantial support of the Fire Daimyō in Year 52, showed no signs of weakening on this front. The war budget for the year was particularly generous, ensuring the village could hold its ground.

Meanwhile, in ShinTen Biotech, Akira's private laboratory, a significant breakthrough was nearing completion. After four long months, the clones he had cultivated were fully grown, with all their bodily systems completely developed. This batch of clones was distinct from previous experiments.

The production of clones this time was more extensive, primarily to support the experimentation with the Tenseigan. Akira had created 30 clones of Hyūga Hinata alone. This large quantity was necessary for his plan to stack Byakugan powers in mass and determine whether simply accumulating Byakugan would lead to the birth of a Tenseigan.

Other clones were fewer in number, with just one backup each to meet specific experimental needs. Akira was confident in his ability to transplant Mangekyō Sharingan abilities successfully. After all, techniques that were feasible in the Warring States period should be even more so with today's advancements.

Having decided on his approach, Akira's spiritual form entered a clone, activating its Mangekyō Sharingan. He then began the process of transferring Mangekyō Sharingan abilities.

The transplant resembled the fusion process for the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. Both required merging two pairs of eyes into one, but the differences were fundamental. In the case of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, the eyes truly fused, combining even their patterns, completing the user's potential.

However, the ability transfer involved absorption, where one eye consumed the other's powers. The absorber gained the abilities of the consumed eye—a form of outright plundering.

This key distinction impacted the results:

Fusion brought qualitative changes, elevating the Sharingan and preventing blindness.Absorption, while acquiring new abilities, failed to address the Mangekyō Sharingan's inherent flaws, meaning the user could still go blind.

The procedure to transfer abilities took Akira only ten minutes. Once completed, he moved on to the next step—fusing the eyes to create an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. For Akira, obtaining both abilities and evolution was the ultimate goal.

His plan consisted of two phases:

First, transferring the abilities.Then, fusing the eyes to unlock the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

This experiment was purely for feasibility verification, to test whether the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan required Indra's chakra or if blood relatives' eyes were mandatory. This question was crucial for the Uchiha clan. If only Indra's chakra were necessary, it would be a monumental breakthrough.

In the future, the Uchiha clan could potentially have five Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan users, including Akira himself, Fugaku, Shisui, and possibly Itachi and Sasuke.

To test his hypothesis, Akira divided the experiment into two groups:

One group's clones were implanted with Sasuke's cells.The other group remained unaltered.

This setup would determine the exact requirements for unlocking the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

Standing by the experiment table, Akira looked at the lifeless clones and murmured, "The results will be clear in two days."

Turning to Hinata's clones, now grown to resemble adults, Akira muttered, "Next, it's time to explore the Tenseigan."

Akira's spiritual form entered Hinata's clone, activating its Byakugan. Unlike the Sharingan, the Byakugan required little effort to awaken. Even with minimal aptitude, as long as proper guidance was provided, it could activate easily.

After hours of effort, Akira successfully awakened the Byakugan in all 30 of Hinata's clones. Next, he removed a pair of Byakugan from one clone and transplanted them into a Ōtsutsuki Toneri clone.

The process went smoothly, and as Akira examined the Toneri clone, he noted no abnormalities. His spiritual form entered the clone, and he immediately began refining chakra.

To his astonishment, the chakra produced by the Toneri clone was not only superior in quantity to the Senju Hashirama clone but also far purer in quality. The gap between the two was significant.

"This is the Ōtsutsuki clan? Such chakra reserves and quality—it's no wonder they are born to dominate..." Akira murmured.

He also noticed a unique energy within the Toneri clone's chakra that seemed to affect the transplanted Byakugan, initiating its transformation.

After hours of testing, Akira concluded that Hinata's Byakugan and Toneri's chakra could produce the Tenseigan, but not instantaneously like Hanabi's Byakugan. It required an unknown amount of time for the transformation to complete, indicating Hinata's Byakugan had high purity but lacked optimal compatibility with Toneri's chakra.

"This complicates things," Akira mused. "To achieve the Tenseigan, the Byakugan must continually absorb Toneri's chakra. This process is slow and requires constant refinement."

Given that the clones lacked independent consciousness, Akira would need to personally refine chakra daily to sustain the transformation.

"Well, no matter," he thought, smirking. "For someone with Spirit Transformation and Kamui, spatial distance means nothing. Let's attempt the Giant Tenseigan first."

He approached another experiment table, where 29 Byakugan pairs lay in storage. Inspired by the Ōtsutsuki clan's methods on the moon, Akira prepared to see if a Giant Tenseigan could be formed by combining them.
