Chapter 25 - Eternal Mangekyou sharingan...

"Yuki!" Shouted Minato who was currently observing the massive Iwa army.

"Yeah?" Yuki said as he knit his eyebrows and squinted his eyes trying to see clearly. Minato who noticed this asked him "Are you going blind?" As Yuki sighed and nodded his head.

"The sharingan has three stages, the sharingan, the Mangekyou sharingan and the Eternal Mangekyou sharingan!" He explained and continued "The Mangekyou gives powers such as the Skeletal figure, the two forbidden techniques and finally two special powers given according to the user's will! However, using the Mangekyou results in blindness!" Minato was shocked and looked at him worriedly "Can you cure it?" He asked as Yuki nodded his head.

"I have to transplant my father's or brother's eyes, however he has not yet evolved his eyes!" Yuki said and brightened up immediately "I forgot about it! Thanks Baby-faced bastard!" He said and disappeared while Minato was scolding him.

In the base...

Yuki suddenly appeared infront of the strategists as all the officers became alert.

"Its me!" Yuki said as he raised both his hands up.

The pressure was getting into them as he could see some of them with deep eye bags.

"Commander Sousuke, I would like an audience!" Yuki said as his father sighed and walked upto him and left the tent.

He followed his father outside silently, Sousuke turned around "What is it?" He asked as Yuki looked at him seriously and replied "I want your eyes! I'm going blind after using the Mangekyou sharingan!" As Sousuke looked at his son angrily and scolded him "You fool! I told you not to use those eyes!".

Yuki smiled awkwardly as Sousuke sighed and spoke "Fine! We can do the operation today" as Yuki looked at him in shock "really?" He asked as his father chuckled "To tell you the truth! Even I'm going blind..." he said as Yuki nodded and went back to where Minato was.

Thirty minutes later...

"Where did you go?" Minato asked curiously as Yuki smirked and answered "I went to talk with my father!", "Really?!" Minato asked in shock as Yuki smiled and informed him"The operation will be at night". Minato sighed and continued spying on the enemy.

In a secret location in the Land of Water...

"Raikage... what have you come here for?" The third Mizukage asked cautiously as the Third Raikage chuckled.

"Onoki plans to kill that Uchiha kid and wants us to help him!" A said answering the Third Mizukage's question.

"Oh? And what are you going to do about it?" The Mizukage asked curiously.

"I won't lie to you! I'm sending my men to take care of the weakened Iwa shinobi, this will damage the Land of Earth and they would sue for peace!" A said as Yagura chuckled.

"And I believe you want me to send soldiers to kill the Uchiha kid?" The Mizukage asked as A nodded his head.

"The kid apparently has the powers of Uchiha Madara!" A informed as the Mizukage looked as if he was in disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e. He had heard about Uchiha Madara so he was quite worried when an enemy nation has such a powerful trump card.

"I see... that is indeed some worrying news, I'll send a fifth of my men! After all, you sent your forces during the invasion of Uzushiogakure!" He stated as A smiled and took his leave.

After some time, the third Mizukage laughed darkly...

"A, you really are a fool! I'm pretty sure Onoki would do the same thing! He might have already talked to the other villages..." he mumbled and went away, disappearing into the mist.

In the Land of Grass...

Yuki and Minato had returned from the reconnaissance and reported to the commanders who looked shocked.

"A thousand?!" The commander said in fear and sat down on his chair while sighing every now and then.

"You may go out!" He gave permission as the duo went away.

The two elites walked out and started conversing with each other.

"Yuki, you had a teammate right?" Minato asked curiously as Yuki nodded "Then where is he?" Minato asked again, Yuki smiled and answered "Honestly, I have no clue... he became an Anbu and since then everything about him became...", "Became what?" Asked Minato "Became Classified information!" Yuki answered with a smile as Minato sighed at his friend's antics.

"Minato, you have to guard me and my father during the operation!" Said Yuki seriously and reminded him "Keep this a secret!".

As the sky darkened Yuki, Sousuke and an Uchiha doctor gathered at a certain cave, hidden away by nature. Minato was on top of a tree, protecting them from the shadows.

A few hours later...

Yuki and Sousuke who were under anesthesia were secretly taken back to the base by Minato. They were inside their rooms for nearly four days until Yuki woke up.

He saw darkness and involuntarily touched his eyes and felt the bandages wrapped around his eyes.

His body trembled as he laughed silently in joy. "Power!" Was the first thing that came to his mind, he felt his chakra reserves become bigger and bigger.

He then rested for a day, until Minato came in to check up on him.

"Is... it Minato?" He asked while lying on his bed, "Yea!" Replied Minato as he helped his friend change the bandages.

However due to Yuki's bigger chakra reserves and the increased amount of chakra in his body, he healed faster due to the stimulation given to his cells.

"Minato, I think I can open my eyes!" He said while his eyes were firmly shut. "Are you sure?" Minato asked as Yuki nodded his head in confirmation and chuckled "I didn't know you cared so much about me!" Yuki teased as Minato scolded him "Take this seriously It's about your eyes!".

Yuki smiled in excitement while Minato carefully removed the bandages. Yuki was still closing his eyes, he was getting mentally prepared to open his eyes.

Yuki opened his eyes, he could see things clearly and sighed in relief realising that the operation was successful.

He smirked and looked at Minato who smiled and spoke up "You can see!", Yuki got up and walked a few steps, wobbling as he walked. He turned to Minato and asked him curiously "Baby-face, do you think about getting a genin team?" As Minato looked at him in shock "Can you read my mind? Is that your power?" He asked as Yuki shook his head.

"I'm just curious after all, we are jonins now!" He replied to Minato's barrage of questions. He then smirked at Minato, "I guess you are getting those fatherly instincts now... I'm getting old!" Yuki teased as Minato coughed.

Yuki then left, going to a stream to wash himself off of the grime and sweat. He stayed submerged in the water for quite some time, "Mikoto!" He thought, he had completely forgotten about her!

He quickly got up, dried himself and wore his uniform.

He went back to base while observing the surroundings for any traps made by the Iwa shinobi.
