After a round of "friendly" conversation, Kabuto very "happily" agreed to Shinji's request.
It was like a burly man bursting into your house with a Gatling gun, only to rob you of a lollipop...
How could you possibly refuse!
Kabuto was more than willing!
He could not act cocky at all now, because he had neither the standing nor the ability to challenge Shinji.
What followed was simple.
The base Orochimaru had left behind was fully equipped, and Kabuto was also proficient in Medical Ninjutsu, so the transplant surgery was completed that very day.
Kabuto did not dare try anything throughout the procedure. His life was in someone else's hands, after all.
Besides, unlike Orochimaru, he had no particular obsession with the Sharingan.
The operation went smoothly, but at Kabuto's cautious insistence, Sasuke still rested for three days under observation.
If rejection did occur and something went wrong, there would still be time to remedy it.
Otherwise, no amount of explaining would clear Kabuto's name.
Fortunately, the problem Kabuto feared never arose. After Itachi's eyes were transplanted into Sasuke, they fit as though they were his own, without any adverse reactions.
So, three days later, Shinji kept his promise, left Kabuto unharmed, and departed with the others.
He really did not care in the slightest whether Orochimaru came back to life.
In fact, he could now thrash Orochimaru without even breaking a sweat.
Of course, Shinji did not forget to warn Kabuto not to mess around with Impure World Reincarnation.
As for whether the fellow would actually listen, that was beyond his control.
After receiving Itachi's eyes, Sasuke's strength increased enormously once again!
His Mangekyō Sharingan also became the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and he no longer had to worry about going blind.
His Dōjutsu surged, and even his Chakra increased
