"This…!!?" Homusubi gasped in horror and disbelief!
But she didn't have time to be astonished before the next stunning event occurred.
Homusubi recalls that only Danzo's right eye was grafted with the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan, while the other, the left eye, remained a normal eye... This fact was not altered by the preceding transformation operation.
This truth, however, has changed at this time... The left eye, which was supposed to be a regular human eye, has grown into a scarlet red Sharingan with three tomoe.
Even individuals who are utterly inexperienced with the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan would notice something unusual about the circumstance, let alone Homusubi, who has an excessive amount of knowledge and in-depth research on Sharingan.
As such, she couldn't stop herself from exclaiming, "What the hell?!!!"
And it wasn't even close to being over... The three tomoe of both the Sharingan in Danzo's eyes were swiftly swirling and showed hints of evolution... 'Is it really what I think it is? Is he... is Danzo truly on the verge of awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan?'
Homusubi's thoughts shifted sharply as she struggled to come up with a rational explanation for such a shift.
Danzo's left eye was his own, not the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan or the eye of an Uchiha Shinobi, hence it shouldn't have evolved into a Sharingan, let alone a three-tomoe Sharingan. However, if you think about it, what's actually needed to awaken the Sharingan are Uchiha Clan genes combined with the Yin Chakra, which has unique properties that only Uchiha Clan shinobi have.
If both of these conditions are met, then the Sharingan can be awakened, at least theoretically.
According to the same idea, during the last struggle against Ōtsutsuki Kaguya in the canon, even Kakashi briefly awakened both the Mangekyou Sharingan.
So, how did that happen?
The answer is straightforward and consistent with the hypothesis.
Kakashi did have certain Uchiha Characteristics in his body after bearing Obito's Sharingan in both eyes for over a decade, and after Obito's death, Obito gave Kakashi his Chakra, allowing Kakashi to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan in both eyes, allowing him to use Kamui in both eyes as well as the Ultimate Body Susano'o.
As a result, it may be inferred that to awaken the Sharingan; genes and Yin Chakra with Uchiha Characteristics are sufficient.
This also explains how Danzo's left eye can transform into a three-tomoe Sharingan.
Danzo's left eye has changed into the Sharingan, indicating that he is currently in a state of fusion and possesses a high-intensity Yin Chakra akin to an Uchiha shinobi who has awoken the three tomoe Sharingan.
And this isn't the end of it.
The fusing of Chakra with many distinct characteristics progresses as the ceremony progresses, and the intensity of Yin chakra in his body gradually increases, which explains why the three tomoe Sharingan in his eye socket are showing indications of turning into the Mangekyou Sharingan.
After figuring out all of this, Homusubi discovered something else.
Homusubi discovered that she no longer requires the Observation Equipment she is now employing. She believes that as the fusion of various Kekkei Genkai occurs, she will be able to accurately discern the physical and spiritual changes in Danzo's body if she continues to monitor the changes in Danzo's eyes.
And, without a doubt, this procedure will yield the most accurate findings.
If Homusubi can figure out all of this, Orochimaru will obviously not be left behind.
He was instinctively aware of the aberration in Danzo's eyes, which had evolved into a Sharingan and was showing symptoms of further evolution. His face erupted into a crazed expression. It was a mix of longing, expectation, covetousness, adoration, and even shock. The snake-like vertical pupils' greed totally burst, leaving no room for concealment!
Homusubi was definitely taken aback by Orochimaru's ugliness, but she didn't let it distract her from her task of closely observing Danzo.
Whatever scheme Orochimaru has concocted isn't as vital to her as gathering data.
"The new 'Chimera Buds' devouring and swallowing effect is better than predicted in a high-temperature setting..."
"The chakra is the real key to the advancement of the fusion after the ritual enters the fusion stage; even the Bijuu-class chakra may not secure the smooth completion of the ritual. This is an area where more attention should be paid..."
"The Sharingan of the test body has shown an evolutionary trend in the presence of ample chakra, indicating that the fusion of multiple Chakra natures in the test subject's body is proceeding smoothly. This fact also ensures that the ritual created by Orochimaru and myself is as effective as we hoped..."
"And, as long as all requirements are met, achieving 'Kekkei More' is not an unrealistic goal..."
Homusubi summed up the situation.
After around three minutes, both Sharingan in Danzo's eyes had shifted from the three tomoe state to a new pattern and a more powerful condition.
The design in both of his eyes resembles gears.
"Mangekyou Sharingan!" Homusubi exclaimed, staring at the newly awakened pair of eyes in front of her.
Although she had expected this shift a long time ago, she took a deep breath in amazement and surprise when she saw a non-Uchiha awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan directly in front of her eyes.
And, like Homusubi, Orochimaru was caught off guard... Simultaneously, the greed in his eyes grew even more.
Danzo, who was standing at the altar, appeared to be conscious of the changes in his eyes, and his face had a relaxed expression.
However, a weird expression appeared on Danzo's face at this point, which appeared to be fear and fury, as well as a trace of imperceptible sluggishness.
"Is this it?" Homusubi mumbled, frowning...
He was able to detect that something was awry on the altar because he is used to utilizing his soul to control multiple clone bodies.
Boom…!
Danzo's body burst, accompanied by a muffled sound. He, who had previously kept practically all of the 'Chimera Buds' in his body, was unable to retain it any longer, and the 'Chimera Buds' exploded explosively.
All of the Chimera Buds spread out over the ritual altar once more in an instant.
"Chimera Buds are out of control?" Orochimaru was taken aback and mumbled.
The obvious peculiarity of Danzo on the altar alarmed not just Homusubi and Orochimaru, but also the other root shinobi present inside the volcano.
When the top research officer at the root saw Danzo had lost control of the 'Chimera Buds,' he rapidly triggered a massive device that had been put on the altar.
Pooooffff…
When the instrument was turned on, freezing mist inundated the altar, and the out-of-control 'Chimera Buds' immediately lost their vigor and withered owing to the mist's rapid cooling.
The aberration in Danzo's spirit did not go away even when the Chimera Buds lost their vigor. He knelt before the altar, his countenance changing all the time.
Homusubi was unsurprised in this regard.
Danzo's chances of succeeding in this ritual were quite slim from the very beginning, therefore what's going on right now is nothing out of the ordinary.
