Unscientific Scientist From Sunagakure - Chapter 171
Sasuke stared at the mysterious space before him, somewhat stunned.
It looked empty.
Yet the shining metallic walls, occasionally streaked with light, told him this place was anything but simple.
Muzake turned around.
“You are the first person to come here after its completion.”
Sasuke felt honored.
“Thank you, my lord.”
Muzake led Sasuke to the end of the bridge.
“Sit.”
Sasuke sat down on a chair opposite Muzake.
Muzake picked up a helmet from the control panel and handed it to him.
“This is a brainwave receiver.”
“Put it on.”
Sasuke obediently donned it.
The silver helmet surprisingly fit his head perfectly.
Muzake also picked up one.
“This is a brainwave enhancer.”
One to enhance, one to receive.
Sasuke began to understand.
Muzake explained further, “Your Uchiha clan needs intense emotional stimuli to activate the Sharingan, and only through experiencing the pain of losing loved ones can it evolve into the Mangekyo Sharingan.”
“This ancient and primitive method, I believe, is a curse for the Uchiha clan.”
“The price you pay for power is too great.”
“One Mangekyo Sharingan might cost the lives of an entire family.”
“So it’s unsurprising that your Uchiha clan is nearly extinct.”
If only the Byakugan were as simple,
Activated safely without side effects, practically every clan member has it.
Sasuke remained silent.
He didn’t know how to change this dreadful situation.
Muzake pointed to the brainwave enhancer on his head.
Is it possible to use VR, virtual reality technology, to experience grief in a virtual setting, triggering the activation or evolution of your Sharingan?
Sasuke was somewhat puzzled.
“VR, virtual reality?”
Muzake:
“You can think of it as a grand or real illusion. It constructs a world where you live a real life.”
“In it, you can hear, smell, feel, and even get hurt.”
“There are sunlight, leaves, and wind.”
“And your family, father, mother, brother.”
Light began to twinkle in Muzake’s eyes rhythmically.
He was transmitting electromagnetic signals to hypnotize.
Looking into Muzake’s eyes, Sasuke gradually felt his eyelids grow heavy and finally closed them.
He fell into a deep sleep.
His consciousness and brainwaves began to be influenced by Muzake.
He entered the world created by Muzake.
According to the “Westworld” theory.
To experience reality, you need a script.
Only a realistic, visceral script can immerse someone.
Making it hard to tell real from virtual.
Thanks to the original story, everything about Sasuke was laid out.
Muzake needed to replay the narrative in Sasuke’s mind under the influence of the brainwave enhancer.
That world without Muzake.
The plot continued up to the Uchiha brothers’ duel.
Orochimaru dies stealthily,
Uchiha Itachi dies against the wall.
Upon learning the truth, Sasuke experiences grief and anger, which activates his Mangekyo Sharingan.
Using brainwaves to immerse another person in a virtual reality world and follow the script.
Even with Muzake’s mental solid powers,
It would be difficult without the brainwave enhancer.
Muzake began constructing the world, playing out the story.
At first, Sasuke subconsciously resisted.
Frequently frowning.
This is a natural response to the real versus virtual.
But as Muzake iterated over and over,
He finally immersed himself in it.
At that moment,
The metal plates of the spherical room began to display everything from Sasuke’s mind.
That was the original plot.
As the narrative progressed to the end,
Uchiha Itachi uses the Totsuka Blade to kill Orochimaru.
He stood with his arms hanging,
Blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, blood from his right eye,
His body radiates orange chakra.
He stepped towards Sasuke.
By then, Sasuke was lying on the ground with no strength left to fight back.
Behind him was a wall adorned with the Uchiha clan’s fan symbol.
Uchiha Itachi kept advancing.
Sasuke had nowhere to run.
Uchiha Itachi raised his right arm, extending two fingers.
His hand reached towards Sasuke’s face.
Sasuke, terrified, his pupils dilated,
Like a lamb about to be devoured, helpless.
His eyes were about to be taken by his brother.
Unexpectedly,
Uchiha Itachi simply said to him,
“Forgive me, Sasuke.”
“This is the last time.”
Smiling slightly,
He tapped Sasuke’s forehead at the brow chakra.
This was an action Uchiha Itachi often performed when Sasuke was a child.
Immediately after,
Uchiha Itachi crashed into the wall and died.
Sasuke was stunned.
His eyes widened.
He couldn’t understand what was happening.
Until Obito appeared and told him the truth.
It turned out Uchiha Itachi had shouldered the sin of killing their entire clan for his sake,
Initially, burning his life to defeat Orochimaru just for him.
Ah!
Sasuke, in pain, covered his face,
The intense sadness and pain erupted from within him.
This surge of emotion infected the chakra inside him.
It rushed like a flood towards his head, towards his eyes.
Muzake’s brainwaves connected with Sasuke’s.
He, too, felt this tumultuous flow of chakra.
Though he could not see,
Muzake felt as though he was genuinely seeing two rivers flowing with black and red.
That was Sasuke’s grief and pain.
That was the trajectory of the Sharingan’s evolution.
