A few minutes later, Itachi slowly loosened his grip on the sheets, his breathing returned to calm, but his eyes remained incredibly resolute.
"I choose the second one, I want my father's eyes."
"A wise choice." Uchiha Xin nodded.
"While Shisui's eyes are powerful, the compatibility between blood relatives' eyes is irreplaceable."
He opened the glass jar and carefully took out Fugaku's Mangekyō Sharingan.
Without the need for sophisticated medical instruments, he unleashed a surge of powerful Yang Release Chakra at his fingertips and gently pressed his eyeball into Itachi's hollow eye socket.
With a soft hum, a pale green light flashed in the weasel's eye sockets.
The power of the Six Paths Level Yang Release instantly repaired the meridians and blood vessels, perfectly connecting the nerves of both eyes.
Within seconds, the stinging in my eyes completely disappeared, leaving only a warm and comfortable feeling.
Itachi slowly opened his eyes, and his blurry vision quickly became clear and bright.
Within his scarlet pupils, the Mitsudomoe spun rapidly, eventually settling into Fugaku's signature Mangekyō pattern.
"Incredible."
Itachi raised his hand and looked at the clear lines on his palm, his heart filled with shock, as if he had been reborn.
"Don't be too happy yet," Uchiha Xin casually advised.
"These eyes are not permanent; although nurtured by Orochimaru and nourished by my Yang Release, they will not easily go blind."
"As long as you don't overdraw your eye power to activate Susanoo as frequently as before, normal use will ensure you're healthy for life."
Itachi nodded solemnly and slowly got out of bed.
"Come on, let me show you where you'll be stationed from now on."
Uchiha Xin turned and walked towards the door.
Itachi followed closely behind, and the moment he pushed open the door, he froze completely in place.
He gasped, his mind reeling.
Before me lay an incredibly magnificent metropolis, with skyscrapers soaring into the swirling clouds, wide and bustling streets, and a cacophony of voices, like a paradise on earth.
The most awe-inspiring sight was the giant ball of Chakra suspended in mid-air.
Vast and pure energy poured down in all directions, illuminating the entire Moon Palace space as bright as day.
"Where exactly is this place?" Itachi's voice trembled slightly.
Having roamed the Shinobi World for many years and traveled to cities and towns of the Five Great Nations, he had never seen such a breathtaking sight.
"This is the Moon Palace."
Uchiha Xin stood at the edge of the corridor, hands in his pockets, looking down at the bustling city below.
"There are no territorial disputes between major powers, no chain of hatred passed down through generations, and no endless wars here."
"May everyone live in peace and contentment, free from worldly strife."
Itachi looked down at the happy people below, watching the children playing and laughing on the street, and the vendors haggling amicably.
This peaceful and tranquil place is the true peace he has been searching for all his life, despite bearing the infamy of his clan's extermination.
An unprecedented longing welled up in my heart.
He turned to look at Uchiha Xin, his eyes filled with intense seriousness.
"I'm willing to stay and guard this place for you."
"You're smart to know what's good for you." Uchiha Xin smiled with satisfaction.
In the days that followed, the Shinobi World was thrown into widespread turmoil as the Akatsuki hunted down Tailed Beast.
The five hidden villages were on high alert, setting up defenses one after another, struggling to cope with the Akatsuki's surprise attack.
Uchiha Xin completely ignored the noise and disturbances from the outside world.
He left a powerful Shadow Clone to guard Konoha, which would go to the Hokage's office every day to handle Tsunade's daily tasks.
He, on the other hand, stayed peacefully in the Moon Palace, enjoying a life of leisure and bliss.
Since Tenseigan in the Moon Palace, Hanabi Hyuga has fallen completely in love with this idyllic paradise far removed from worldly constraints.
The endless variety of delicious food, the daily companionship of Kazahana Koyuki and Sara, and the absence of the strict rules of the Hyuga Main Family —all these privileges made her so happy that she was determined not to return to Konoha.
However, the fact that Hanabi remained behind created a persistent headache for Uchiha Xin.
As night falls, a gentle breeze blows through the Moon Palace courtyard, and all is quiet.
Inside the bedroom, Uchiha Xin was enjoying a rare moment of tenderness with Hinata.
Suddenly, he paused, his brow twitching slightly.
The Tensei Rinnegan keenly detected subtle, hidden Chakra fluctuations.
A small figure was perched on the gray-blue tiles of the bedroom roof.
Hanabi opened her pair of bright blue Tenseigan and used her eye power to completely erase her own aura.
She peered through the cracks in the roof, her eyes glued to the sounds inside, her face flushed, watching with great interest.
"That brat."
Uchiha Xin gritted his teeth inwardly.
This is not the first time.
After awakening the Tenseigan, Hanabi seemed to have opened up New World, using her eye power to explore everywhere every night.
She had spied on all of his rooms, Hinata's, Koyuki's, and Sara's rooms.
If it weren't for the fact that his Tensei Rinnegan's laws were at a higher level, he wouldn't have been able to detect her presence at all.
Uchiha Xin felt helpless and seriously suspected that Hanabi was unwilling to return to Konoha.
It wasn't that they were enamored with the beauty of the Moon Palace; it was purely a voyeuristic addiction.
The Moon Palace courtyard was quiet and slightly cool in the night.
Inside the bedroom, Uchiha Xin's fingertips pulsed with blue Chakra as he rapidly set up layers of barriers both inside and outside the room.
He successively set up more than a dozen high-level perception barriers to block all visual detection.
This has become his routine lately, all to ward off the peeping Hanabi and preserve his private space.
Click! Click! Click!
A crisp cracking sound suddenly rang out in the closed room.
More than a dozen sturdy, high-level barriers, forged with Chakra, were instantly crushed by the Tenseigan power of the Tenseigan, like fragile glass.
The door was kicked open.
Hanabi, wearing loose, light-colored pajamas, swaggered into the room.
Her pair of blue, Tenseigan stood out conspicuously in the darkness. Her face showed no embarrassment at being caught spying, only self-righteousness.
Uchiha Xin sat on the edge of the bed, sighing helplessly as he rubbed his forehead.
" Hanabi, why are you here in the middle of the night trying to break down my barrier again?"
He felt utterly powerless and helpless in the face of his capricious sister-in-law.
You can't hit him, you can't scold him, and no matter how many layers of barriers he sets up, they will be forcibly broken by Hanabi's Tenseigan in the blink of an eye.
Even knowing that he would be discovered by a higher-level Tensei Rinnegan.
She didn't care at all, and now she's gone from secretly spying to openly barging in.
Hanabi stood with her hands on her hips, puffing out her still-developing chest, and slightly raising her chin.
" Brother Xin, why are you deliberately avoiding me?"
"I, Hanabi, am not a person who goes back on their word!"
"Back in Konoha, I said it before: you help me awaken the Tenseigan. What my sister can do, I can do too!"
Uchiha Xin's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly turned to look at Hinata was fast asleep beside him.
He only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Hinata hadn't been woken up by the noise, and then scolded her in a low voice.
"You're so young, and your head is full of nonsense!"
"Go back to your room and sleep, don't force me to take action."
Hanabi playfully stuck out her tongue.
"Hehe, you can't bear to hit me at all!"
After saying that, she turned around and ran out of the room in a flash, closing the door behind her.
Uchiha Xin stared at the empty doorway and shook his head helplessly.
From now on, there will truly be no more peaceful days to live.
The next morning, on the back mountain of the Moon Palace.
Here is a natural hot spring that Uchiha Xin personally created using a massive amount of Chakra.
