The Sharingan began to possess uniqueness when it evolved into the Mangekyō Sharingan, so its next stage of evolution had to follow this same principle.

The Rinnegan, on the other hand, had broken through the ceiling and reached an entirely different level, so it no longer had this limitation.

"Then what's your plan?"

A trace of pathological excitement appeared on Orochimaru's face. "Since a 'circle' and a 'triangle' can't be combined into a new 'pattern,' what if we introduced a 'square' at this point?"

Aoba immediately understood what Orochimaru meant!

Then B gave his original eyes to C, obtaining an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan formed by the overlapping of a "triangle" and a "square."

Finally, C gave his original eyes to A, completing a brand-new Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan formed by combining a "circle" and a "square."

Moreover, there was no rule stating that after giving one's Mangekyō Sharingan to someone else and helping them awaken the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, one would lose the qualifications to awaken it oneself!

On top of that, awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan was already
