Chapter 278: Stealing Konoha
"Three Tomoe are the Sharingan's basic form. Each tomoe represents a different ocular technique: enhanced dynamic vision, copying, and amplified genjutsu.
"The Mangekyo also represents an ocular technique. Could we treat the Mangekyo pattern as an individual entity, like a tomoe, and arrange three Mangekyo patterns in a triangle, like the Three Tomoe Sharingan?
"If that's too difficult, Lord Orochimaru could try cultivating an eye with three pupils, then fuse or transplant the Mangekyo patterns onto it and find a way to link them together. We could see whether the three can be fused..."
After voicing his thoughts, he considered the Tomoe Rinnegan. Each tomoe represented an ocular technique, while the essence of the Mangekyo was also an ocular technique. So, could they simply attach the Mangekyo patterns to it?
As for the idea of multiple pupils, he had drawn inspiration from the four-eyed fellow in the neighboring Perfect World. Double pupils meant having two pupils in one eye.
Moreover, judging from the structure of the eyeball, it was theoretically possible to create an eye with multiple pupils.
This was even more common among insects. They were called compound eyes, and their numbers of pupils could be terrifyingly high.
Orochimaru, meanwhile, grew more excited the more he listened. He licked his lips more and more frequently, clearly tempted.
"Eyes are easy to make. Many insects have multiple pupils, and fusion shouldn't be difficult either. But to achieve balance, we'll need different cellular genes as the foundation, while maintaining sufficient connections between them. Ideally, they should be blood relatives..."
After analyzing the idea, Orochimaru felt increasingly certain that it was viable. He was even impatient to leave and verify it through experimentation.
"Lord Hiroshi, I have something else to do, so I won't disturb you."
Orochimaru immediately
