Chapter 23: Uchiha Mei's 'Calamity'!
Developing Jutsu! Uchiha Takashi would often consult Minato Namikaze on these matters.
After obtaining the advanced materials from the Uchiha archives, his understanding of chakra and jutsu far surpassed most ninjas.
With the help of the Clear Mind Potion, there's no more worry about his studies.
Armed with extensive knowledge of jutsu and the ability to consult Minato Namikaze, Uchiha Takashi could naturally develop his own unique jutsu.
In the future, Kakashi developed the A-rank jutsu Chidori at the age of 12, and later the S-rank Raikiri.
As a time traveler who can invest resources, there's no reason he can't surpass that, right?
Moreover, developing jutsu requires not just knowledge but also creativity.
In this regard, Uchiha Takashi might not claim everyone in the ninja world is trash, but he certainly stands above them.
Not to mention having Minato Namikaze as a guide.
The Rasengan, which Naruto would later use to conquer the world, was developed by him, showcasing his jutsu development prowess.
Thus, the jutsu that Uchiha Takashi had long envisioned was now on the agenda.
He returned to the clan grounds in high spirits.
But as soon as he stepped into the clan grounds, Uchiha Takashi sensed something was off.
The Uchiha he encountered along the way looked at him with extremely complex expressions.
In this strange atmosphere, he returned to his residence.
Just as he entered the courtyard, he bumped into Uchiha Fugaku, who was leading a group of people, "Uchiha Takashi, if you need any help, feel free to come to me!"
As he passed by, Fugaku said this before leaving.
"??"
At this moment, Uchiha Takashi really wanted to shout, 'Stop speaking in riddles!'
He entered the room where the clan meeting was held.
The first thing he saw was a figure lying on a woven straw mat, wearing only a thin white garment, appearing fragile and delicate.
Uchiha Mei! Her face was extremely pale, like a delicate porcelain that could shatter at any moment.
The most important detail was the bandages wrapped around her eyes.
It's over!
For a ninja, losing a hand still leaves you a ninja, but if you're blind, there's no way you can continue as one.
Especially if the blind person is an Uchiha.
Everyone knows that the pride of the Uchiha clan is their Sharingan.
If something happens to their eyes, the blow is far more devastating than to any other ninja.
Silence!
This aura of deathly stillness surrounded Uchiha Mei.
Besides her, there were only six Jonin from the main family in the room.
The only female, Uchiha Toru, was kneeling on the ground, her eyes full of pain and worry as she looked at Uchiha Mei.
Uchiha Shota, who was unusually strong for an Uchiha, stood in front of the other four Jonin, his eyes already blood-red, with three black tomoe floating like tadpoles.
The three-tomoe Sharingan!
Entering this state meant he was ready to act at any moment.
"This..."
Uchiha Takashi's pupils contracted slightly.
He hadn't expected Uchiha Mei to be in trouble.
Previously, her confidence and dominance made it instinctive not to worry about her.
But now he suddenly realized that he had labeled her as a 'rich, beautiful, strong, and tragic' character.
In the normal timeline, she probably never appeared because of this reason, right?
After going blind, she might have 'committed suicide' later, hence her absence.
He just wasn't sure if he had somehow influenced this outcome.
Due to the healing potion, he had gained some fame among the Uchiha and the village's higher-ups.
As Uchiha Mei's fiancé, she naturally benefited as well.
So someone like Danzo, who wouldn't want her to rise, might have acted preemptively.
### Chapter 23: Uchiha Mei's 'Calamity'!
Although Uchiha Mei is quite strong, she's only at the level of a Special Jōnin. If the Root were to truly make a move, they wouldn't fail. She's not the protagonist and doesn't have any protagonist's luck.
Not killing her outright might be out of consideration for the Uchiha clan.
After all, being injured and being dead are two very different things.
"Uchiha Takashi, you will take care of Mei from now on!"
Upon seeing Uchiha Takashi enter, Uchiha Toru stood up immediately and joined Uchiha Shota, positioning themselves in front of Shu Uchiha.
"Let's go!"
Shu Uchiha frowned slightly before leading his people away, with Uchiha Shota and Uchiha Toru following suit.
What follows is the internal power struggle within the main house.
Previously, stability was maintained because Uchiha Mei was the 'heir apparent.' Now that Uchiha Mei is blind, she naturally can't hold that position anymore.
Even the current clan leader would step down if they went blind.
As a clan leader, you don't have to be the strongest, but you must be able to hold your own. Otherwise, how could the clan withstand even a simple assassination attempt?
As for why Uchiha Toru asked Uchiha Takashi to take care of Uchiha Mei?
It's because the two are bound together.
Uchiha Takashi's protection by the Uchiha clan is entirely due to his fiancée, Uchiha Mei. If anything happens to her, that protection would vanish.
So, from any perspective, he, as the 'fiancé,' is the best choice.
Uchiha Toru and Uchiha Shota, being Jōnin of the main house, now need to stabilize the internal affairs, which is why they left in a hurry.
No one would target Uchiha Mei now.
Because she poses no threat! After becoming blind, she is no longer a threat to anyone, so naturally, no one will keep an eye on her.
After the others left, Uchiha Takashi checked on his puppet-like fiancée.
It's severe! Her eyes have been completely destroyed, and even medical ninjutsu can't heal them.
'What a coincidence?'
Uchiha Takashi couldn't help but feel it was too coincidental.
His newly developed potion was just at the human experimentation stage, and now a perfect 'test subject' appears.
Based on the healing potion's raw liquid and the regenerative abilities extracted from a batch of special lizards, the combination grants the potion a 'limb regeneration' effect.
However, he didn't know how effective this newly developed potion would be on humans or how much would be needed.
Without testing, he wouldn't dare use it on his fiancée.
Looking at the lifeless Uchiha Mei, Uchiha Takashi spoke.
"Do you want to return to normal?"
She is his 'White Thigh,' and if anything happens to her, it would be a disaster for him. So, he must heal her no matter what.
He doesn't want his fiancée to commit suicide due to blindness; by then, it would be too late. It's better to give her some hope now.
Hearing this, Uchiha Mei still showed no reaction.
No wonder, as she had secretly sought treatment from many people, all concluding that she was beyond help.
As for seeking Tsunade, the pinnacle of medical ninjutsu?
After her brother and lover died, she left the village, and no one could find her.
So, when a freshly graduated Genin like Uchiha Takashi says this, Uchiha Mei naturally doesn't react.
"Let's go!"
Seeing this, Uchiha Takashi knew that mere words wouldn't convince her, so he forcibly pulled her up.
In the past, if he dared to do this, the strong-willed Uchiha Mei would have kicked him away immediately, showing him who's boss.
But now, she was like a puppet, allowing herself to be moved, showing how much the blindness had affected her.
The two soon arrived at the underground laboratory.
Then, a miracle began to unfold.
