"You should be clear on the procedure. It's just that this time, it won't be two eyes fusing together."
"You need to extract all of Yoya's Mangekyō ocular power beforehand."
"That is the key to preserving Yoya's eyes."
Keimei nodded. "I understand, Lord Orochimaru."
Orochimaru quickly began the procedure.
He first forced Keimei's eyes open and cut into his eye sockets without anesthesia.
Then, just as he had during the fusion with Itachi, he pushed Keimei's eyes deeper inside.

Shamu watched with rapt attention, but the ocular power extraction lasted a full two hours.
His eyes were
