• In Root’s laboratory, Hyuga Satoru examines Uchiha Rin’s Sharingan and discovers that her eyesight—especially in her heavily used right eye—is deteriorating rapidly.
• Satoru explains that transplanting Hashirama Cells could prevent Rin from eventually going blind. Although the procedure is dangerous, Rin’s Mangekyo ability to reverse time would allow her to undo a failed transplant, making her chances of survival much higher than normal.
