When Lin Chuan woke again, he was already in a warm swaddle. Everything felt so soft, except his body was no longer his original one—it had become that of an infant.
Looks like... the Heavenly Reincarnation Technique succeeded... Lin Chuan thought to himself.
Though his memories were hazy and there were many things he could not recall for the time being, the final moment before his death remained fresh in his mind. Everything about it was exceptionally clear.
This allowed him to clearly recognize that he was Lin Chuan, not a newborn infant.
His battle with Crown Prince Hai unfolded in his tiny mind as though he were flipping through a book. It placed immense pressure on his young body, but Lin Chuan did not stop. He needed to understand many things, and he had to do so immediately.
At the time, Lin Chuan had faced certain death. The first solution that came to mind was sacrificing one Sharingan to use the Uchiha Clan's ultimate Dojutsu, Izanagi!
Izanagi worked by having the Sharingan record the caster's state at the instant the jutsu was activated. During its effective duration, any injury suffered by the caster—even death itself—could be physically restored to the state recorded by the Sharingan. The price was that the Sharingan would go permanently blind and never open again.
The reason he had ultimately not used it was not because Lin Chuan could not bear to lose a Sharingan, but because the technique had a time limit. It had to be activated during its effective duration in order to evade death. Once that limit passed, everything would be pointless—not only would the Sharingan be permanently blinded, but it would fail to achieve the intended result.
