Naruto: With Favorabiltity System

Chapter 240: Awakening the Eternal Mangekyo and Saving Shisui!

After dealing with Danzo, Haneda gave Bai and the others a few instructions before vanishing with the Flying Thunder God Technique.

He arrived at a hidden cave and retrieved Shisui's right eye from a test tube.

"The opportunity to awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan has arrived."

"If my guess is correct, I should be able to…"

Haneda activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, channeling the power of Shinra Bansho to forcibly influence Shisui's right eye.

At that moment, Shisui's Sharingan fiercely resisted.

But under the overwhelming might of Haneda's ocular power, its resistance was futile.

Once the eye fully surrendered, Haneda felt a searing heat and sharp pain in his own eyes.

It was the sensation of his ocular power growing stronger!

Haneda quietly marveled at the profound changes taking place in his eyes.

The process of awakening the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was just as he had predicted.

Transplanting a relative's Mangekyo Sharingan ≈ Mangekyo + Shinra Bansho!

"One eye's power isn't enough!"

Haneda released all the ocular power stored within his system.

At that moment, his Mangekyo Sharingan began spinning wildly.

The blood-red pattern of his eyes didn't change much, but it gained a dazzling and mesmerizing beauty.

A faint blue screen appeared before Haneda's eyes.

"Absorbed ocular powers will influence the awakened Rinnegan abilities?"

"According to the original timeline, the Fourth Great Ninja War is still thirteen years away. Thirteen years is more than enough time to awaken the Rinnegan."

"Looks like I'll need to be careful about whose ocular powers I absorb."

Haneda then looked at his current strength, just a step away from the Six Paths level.

His thoughts turned to Black Zetsu, that master manipulator.

Currently, the only threats to him in the ninja world were the hidden Sage of Six Paths, the potential existence of the Otsutsuki clan, and Black Zetsu.

As long as Haneda refrained from actions that greatly endangered the ninja world, the Sage of Six Paths likely wouldn't interfere.

As for the Otsutsuki, Haneda doubted the events of Boruto would even happen.

At the very least, he hadn't detected any trace of the Otsutsuki's existence.

That left only Black Zetsu, an enemy Haneda was determined to face.

However, for now, Black Zetsu was by Obito's side.

As long as Haneda didn't actively target the Akatsuki or their collection of the tailed beasts, Black Zetsu would likely remain inactive.

Haneda opened his palm, revealing a dim and lifeless eye resting in it.

Using a small blade, he made a cut on his arm and pressed Shisui's eye into the wound.

The eye, completely drained of its power, could only recover slowly with the help of Haneda's Sage Body.

If his plan succeeded, Haneda intended to return Shisui's eye after repairing it and perhaps offer Kagami's eyes as a replacement in the meantime.

As the day turned to night, a faint crescent moon hung in the sky.

In the Forest of Death, countless Foundation ninjas were hunting down Shisui.

This time, the ambush was even more overwhelming than in the original timeline, with a greater number of Foundation operatives participating.

Danzo had staked all his hopes on Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan.

Nearly every ninja from the Foundation base had been dispatched, leaving Danzo without much personal protection.

Underneath the green glow of his Susanoo, Shisui staggered toward Konoha, step by step.

Surrounded by Foundation ninjas, they attacked relentlessly, willing to die if it meant wearing him down, little by little.

"Uchiha Shisui, give up your struggle!"

"With your eye, Lord Danzo will surely lead Konoha to a new era!"

The Foundation operatives tried to break Shisui's will.

"He's just stubbornly protecting Konoha in his own way."

"He doesn't even want Uchiha to take the position of Hokage!"

Shisui's weak voice responded, blood dripping down his face.

To maintain Susanoo, his ocular power was draining rapidly. He couldn't hold out much longer.

Suddenly, a crow's caw pierced the air.

Itachi appeared, intercepting the attacks aimed at Shisui.

"Shisui, I'm here to save you!"

Itachi activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, holding a combat stance.

But Shisui motioned for him to come inside the Susanoo.

"Itachi, you…"

"My Susanoo won't last much longer, and I don't have the strength to escape."

"Danzo has already taken my right eye. You know what that eye means."

"Now, I can only entrust my other eye to you, my dear friend."

Shisui removed his remaining eye and handed it to Itachi.

"Take my eye and stop Danzo!"

"Only if Lord Haneda becomes the Fifth Hokage can the Uchiha's future truly change!"

A flock of crows carried Shisui's eye away as his green Susanoo faded rapidly.

Itachi understood Shisui's resolve. He had to take the eye and escape.

As he turned to flee, his three-tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly, transforming into a new pattern.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning illuminated the forest.

Haneda appeared, carrying Danzo like a defeated trophy.

The Foundation ninjas stared in shock at Haneda. He held none other than their leader—Lord Danzo!

"You can surrender now, just like three years ago," Haneda said with a smile.

The Foundation operatives remembered their past humiliation. Once again, they were forced to submit to Haneda.

Ignoring their resentful gazes, Haneda approached Itachi and patted him on the shoulder.

"You can return Shisui's eye now."

Itachi, understanding something from Haneda's smile, remained silent as he carefully placed Shisui's eye back into its socket.

At that moment, Haneda used medical ninjutsu to heal Shisui's injuries.

Another group of Foundation operatives arrived, explaining the situation to the main force pursuing Shisui.

Itachi finally understood—this entire ordeal was orchestrated by Haneda.

Its purpose was to push him to awaken his Mangekyo Sharingan.

As for how Haneda had captured Danzo alive, it must have happened right after Danzo attacked Shisui.

Everything that occurred in the Forest of Death today was part of Haneda's grand design.

"Uncle Haneda, you…"

Itachi looked at Haneda with a complicated expression as he tended to Shisui's wounds.

"Don't worry. Shisui won't die. I'll explain everything later—too many people are around right now," Haneda replied.
