Coming Home

"Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan?"

Namikaze Minato asked in confusion.

"That's right. The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."

Qian nodded, then explained further, "According to the information I obtained, as long as someone has awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, they can completely remove the eyes' defects and obtain an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan that will never go blind by fusing another pair of Mangekyo Sharingan from a brother or sister."

"I see..."

Namikaze Minato murmured, then suddenly reacted and said, "Qian, I remember you don't seem to have any brothers or sisters, do you?"

"Mm."

Qian nodded, but immediately followed up, "That the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan requires fusing a brother's or sister's Mangekyo Sharingan is only the intelligence I obtained. As for whether it can fuse someone else's, or whether someone has found another path, that is unknown."

Although Qian did not mention where he had obtained his information, Namikaze Minato generally believed this explanation.

This was not because Namikaze Minato trusted Qian deeply, or because he was soft-eared and easily believed others.

Rather, as early as when he learned Qian might have awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, he had used the Hokage's authority to consult the village's top-secret files concerning the Uchiha clan.

From those files, he learned that the Uchiha clan's former Clan Head—Uchiha Madara—had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.

And as far as he knew, Uchiha Madara also had a younger brother named Uchiha Izuna, who had likewise awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.

In addition, judging from Uchiha Madara's various displays, his eyes had not shown the blindness curse unique to the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Previously, he had not understood what was going on.

Now, combined with Qian's explanation, he understood the reason.

Perhaps it was precisely because Uchiha Madara had fused his younger brother's Mangekyo Sharingan and awakened the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan that he had escaped
