Early Morning of the next day.
Both Shisui and Itachi came to the Forest of Death as per Kuroto's instructions.
They searched for Kuroto, and soon found him asleep on the branch of a tree, Shisui looked at Kuroto's sleeping posture and suddenly had an idea.
Shisui motioned Itachi to not make any sound as he drew out a Calligraphy Brush from his pocket.
Itachi wanted to speak to Shisui that this is not a very good idea, but seeing Shisui's look, Itachi chose to remain silent.
Now with the Calligraphy brush in his hand, Shisui took silent cat steps towards Kuroto, making sure that he did not make any sound lest he wakes up Kuroto, and shortly he was standing in front of the sleeping Kuroto.
Now standing before Kuroto, Shisui motioned his free hand to and fro, in order to make sure that Kuroto was really sleeping.
After confirming that Kuroto was indeed asleep, Shisui snickered and without any wait, he raised his hand to give Kuroto's face a nice touch of art.
Shisui motioned Itachi again to make sure that he does not make any sound, all while bringing the brush closer to Kuroto's face, and just as he turned back towards Kuroto; Shisui noticed that Kuroto's eyes were wide open and Kuroto was looking at him with a deadpan expression, "Shisui, what do you think you are doing?"
Shisui's hand stopped midway, and he blinked two times to realize the situation he was in, sweat poured out of his face and he jumped backward in panic, "Kuroto-San, you are awake!!!?" Then while trying to hide the brush in panic he said, "I… I thought you were sleeping… and…"
Itachi sighed, "I had known that this was a bad idea."
Kuroto yawned and stood up, after stretching his body to get rid of all the sleepiness, Kuroto said to Shisui, "It's early morning and you are already so lively."
Shisui nodded, "Y… yeah, it's such a lively day, isn't it?" just to make sure that Kuroto does not pursue the matter earlier.
And of course, Kuroto did not pursue it, Shisui is nervous, Kuroto can see that, and if a bit of humor and prank can help Shisui calm his nerves then it's all fine and good with him.
"Anyway, putting aside your childish antics, I hope you are ready for the implantation operation." Kuroto said to Shisui.
At the mention of the operation, Shisui's face turned serious, and he nodded, "Yes."
Kuroto nodded and jumped down from the tree, and started weaving hand signs.
Shisui also jumped too, and looking at Kuroto weaving hand signs in front of the tree, he asked with a confused tone, "By the way, Kuroto-san, why to call us to the Forest of Death?"
Kuroto answered Shisui's doubts, "Implantation operation can not be carried out at your or my home, it would be too risky, as such we are going to perform it here."
"Here?" Shisui muttered.
Kuroto nodded, "Here was a Secret Laboratory of mine, but since we acquired Ancor Vantian, so I transferred the Laboratory to the Sky Fortress, but it's still a secret hideout as this place was never found by anyone because of how cleverly it has been hidden. A perfect place to carry out the operation while still remaining in the village."
Itachi raised his brow upon hearing Kuroto's words.
He still remembers that the Genin Team he was part of once had a mission of killing a very dangerous and ferocious Wild Boar that was disturbing the Food Chain in the Forest of Death because of how much it ate, and Itachi remembers that Kuroto happened to be present here at that time, and took it upon himself to take care of that Wild Boar.
At that time, Itachi didn't think about it too much, as it isn't strange for a Konoha Shinobi to be present in the Forest of Death, after all, this place is not only a sight to carry out Chunin promotion Tests, but also a training field for frequently used by many shinobi.
Not to mention, this place is also used for acquiring materials for brewing poisons and other medicines.
And now that he is hearing of the Secret Laboratory, Itachi can't help but think, 'It seems that it wasn't just a coincidence that we encountered Kuroto-san at that time, Kuroto-san had prepared a secret hideout here.'
At this time, the entrance inside the tree opened, and Kuroto walked inside followed by Shisui in tow, before both of them went inside completely, Kuroto said to Itachi, "Itachi-kun, the implantation operation may take a few hours, during this time, neither I nor Shisui will be in any condition of helping out, so please guard the entrance and make sure that no one interferes."
Itachi nodded courteously, "I understand Kuroto-san, please make sure that the operation is carried out successfully, you needn't worry about anyone interfering."
Kuroto nodded, "Hmm." Then started to walk deeper inside the laboratory.
And just as Shisui was about to follow Kuroto, Itachi said to him, "Be careful Shisui-san."
Shisui turned back and asked with a smirk, "What is it I am seeing here Itachi, are you worried about me?"
Itachi neither nodded nor denied.
Shisui just smiled and waved his hand, "Fear not my friend, I shall prevail in this battle, and beat the lady of death before she can take my heart."
'He is being unusually poetic and funny, this is not like Shisui-san, no doubt about it, Shisui-san is indeed nervous about what's to come.' Itachi thought as he looked at the fading backs of Shisui and Kuroto and the entrance to the hideout being closed.
And with both Kuroto and Shisui gone, Itachi jumped over the tree and sat there watching the surroundings, at the same time he spread his crows to help him keep watch over the surroundings.
It didn't take long and the entire forest of Death was already under his watch.
…
Inside the Secret Laboratory.
While walking through the passageway which was lit with several fluorescent lamps, Shisui's mind was filled with various thoughts.
Just from one look at how deep the passage goes, Shisui can't help but sigh, "I never expected that the Secret Laboratory you have here would be so big Kuroto-san."
Shisui's eyesight may have almost deteriorated, he was still able to see and sense many things, after all, his perception is still top-notch.
Kuroto while walking in front nodded indifferently, "It's nothing strange."
"Is it really?" Shisui sighed lightly.
After a while, both Kuroto and Shisui arrived in the operating room.
This operating room was been neatly rearranged by Kuroto, all for the purpose of the implantation operation. A lot of money was spent by Kuroto for making sure all the instruments were present.
Looking at the various medical instruments in the operating room, Shisui was stunned, "Kuroto-san, isn't this just an implantation operation? What need there is for so many instruments, they are kind of making me more nervous."
Kuroto motioned Shisui to down on the bed and started to explain, "There is nothing to be nervous about, these instruments are placed here to keep your real-time vital signs in check during the implantation operation.
There is a Cardiac Meter to measure heart rate, a Pulse Oximeter to keep the Pulse in check, then there is a Respirometer as well as an oxygen supplier, a Blood Pressure Monitor to measure your Blood Pressure, additionally, there is a thermometer, a body water level measurer and a few other devices.
Obviously, all of these are not necessary, but I have arranged them to make sure that everything goes without a hitch."
Shisui nodded.
At this time, Kuroto took out an injection, added a few medicines to it, then injected it directly into Shisui's bloodstream, while explaining, "This is an intravenous injection, and the fluid it contains is a potent cell activator… For successful cell implantation, a cell activator is necessary."
"A cell activator, is it?" Shisui muttered as he suddenly started to feel something in his bloodstream and the entire circulatory system.
After completely injecting the fluid, Kuroto threw the injection into the trash can, and said, "It would take about 2 to 5 minutes for it to have full effect, in the meantime, change your clothes into the patient gown."
…
5 minutes later.
Shisui did as was told, and after changing into a patient gown, he was currently lying on the bed made out of stone.
After preparing a few other things, Kuroto said to Shisui, "Now that almost everything is ready, let me first introduce the complete procedure to you."
Shisui nodded with a distracted expression because the cell activator was giving making him feel extremely hot, so hot that even though this operating lab is extremely cool, Shisui was still sweating heavily.
Kuroto said, "In the First Step, I will remove your Mangekyou Sharingan and replace them with the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan…"
The distracted Shisui nodded at first, but the very next moment, he realized what Kuroto had said and instantly sat up in surprise, "What!? But why? This is a Cell implantation Operation, so why those eyes?"
Kuroto patiently explained, "Your eyes are completely blind, so I am afraid that with your current Occular Power you will not be able to suppress Shodaime-sama's Cells, so to make sure that nothing goes wrong, I will implant Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."
Shisui asked, "But will Tsukihi agree to it? After all, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is already in her…"
Tuk…
Shisui hadn't even finished speaking, and Kuruto had already placed a small Nutrient Capsule on the table on the side.
Shisui looked at the Nutrient Capsule and noticed the pair of eyes floating inside the glass capsule, and he didn't know what to speak anymore.
Kuroto patted Shisui's shoulder and motioned him to lay down, as he said, "Don't worry, Uchiha Tsukihi is a selfless girl and she is happy to lend the eyes to you, in fact, knowing that your operation was about to be carried out, she approached me on her own accord and presented me with the idea of using these eyes. To make sure that you survive."
Shisui said sincerely, "Kuroto-san if I don't survive, please thank her in my place for all that she has done and is doing for the Uchiha Clan."
"I would rather not, do that yourself. Which means that you are not allowed to die." After a pause here, Kuroto explained the further steps, "So after your eyes are replaced in the first step, for the second step I will inject a Fusion Solution inside your body. The Fusion Solution is made of a few special drugs and will cause you some pain, but you must endure the pain because this is necessary for successful implantation."
"After the first two steps, we will have the third step, in this I will inject specially treated Shodaime-sama's Cell inside your body, what you must do is use your own ocular power to suppress them and make sure that they do not take over your body completely else it would mean death by becoming into a tree," explained Kuroto.
Shisui nodded, "Alright."
Kuroto added, "One thing I want you to keep in mind is that I am not going to be using any anesthetic agent in the entire implantation operation so that you can fully use your Ocular Power and sense the changes going in your body. So, bear in mind that the pain you feel will be extreme. It would be so unbearable that you would rather want to die. But you have to survive."
Shisui nodded, understanding what Kuroto was implying here. Shinobi are trained to endure pain. Cuts, wounds, fractures, muscle tearing, and other kinds of pain can be easily ensured by them and there is no need to even mention those things. So, the fact that Kuroto mentioned it and emphasized the term 'extreme pain' must mean that the pain will be higher than what he as a trained shinobi can endure, but he must endure, and not only he must endure, he must prevail over it.
Kuroto informed him of this in advance to make Shisui prepare himself psychologically.
"Yes." Shisui nodded, he is very confident in his pain tolerance limit.
At last, Kuroto said in a deep voice to make sure that Shisui pays attention to his words, "Remember that Hashirama Cells are more cancerous than any kind of tumor, and they take over their target extremely fast, faster than what the human mind can work. Some time, ago, I managed to get my hands on the experimental data of the Hashirama Cell Implantation experiments and operations carried out by the village. All records point out that no matter how strong-willed of a person the subject was, in the face of Hashirama Cells, he/she couldn't endure.
Dementia, Hypersalivation, Hyperhidrosis, temporary failure of the sensory nerves, Urinary Incontinence due to losing control over the bladder, and Feces Incontinence due to loss of control over Bowel Movements, are some of the things that you will experience aside from pain, there is also a possibility that you will turn into half-human, half-tree like creature if you don't pay attention. So be careful."
Shisui heard Kuroto's words, and asked with a dazed expression, "Uh… is that why you instructed me to not intake water or food for the past two days?"
Kuroto nodded, "Yes, so anyway, what I am implying is that be careful, ahead is a battle of life and death."
Shisui asked again, "But did you not say that the success rate is hundred percent?"
Kuroto nodded, "It is, as long as you are able to preserve, if you, yourself are unable to preserve and give in, then there is nothing I can do about it."
Shisui was silent and after taking a deep breath, he nodded, "Alright, I have too much to protect, I would never be able to forgive myself if I were to die on an operation table, so death is not even an option here."
After understanding Kuroto's words, Shisui let go of all the fear, nervousness, and anxiety, and his expression returned to calm and collected as if he was present on a battlefield.
Kuroto took a look at Shisui quietly lying on the operation table, and without waiting anymore, he started with the implantation operation.
Kuroto's intention of replacing Shisui's eyes while carrying out the Implantation Operation is not just to increase the success rate of the operation, but it is also to improve the Ocular Power of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan with the help of the Yang Chakra present in the Hashirama Cells in an attempt to evolve the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan into the Rinnegan.

Excluding Rikudo Sennin's Rinnegan, there have been only one and a half pairs of Rinnegan in the Shinobi World, canonically speaking.
And in the one-and-a-half pair of Rinnegan, Uchiha Sasuke's Rinnegan was also evolved because Rikudo Sennin gave him the Yin part of his own Chakra, so in a way, it wasn't awakened by Sasuke himself, rather it was a given to him by Rikudo Sennin to prevent the revival of Kaguya, so it can not be used as an object of reference by Kuroto, because this method is extremely difficult to copy.
As such, Uchiha Madara's method of awakening the Rinnegan is worth Kuroto's research.
Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan is the product of the fusion of Yin Chakra of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and Yang Chakra of the implanted Hashirama Cells in his body.
In other words, if we use Madara's Rinnegan as an example, the fusion of Yin Chakra of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and Yang Chakra from Hashirama Cells can theoretically result in the birth of Rinnegan.
Moreover, in the canon, Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto hypothesized that the Rinnegan can be awakened by combining Uchiha and Senju DNA. To that end, Kabuto successfully recreated the Rinnegan by infusing Hashirama Cells in Madara's reincarnated body.
But considering that Uchiha Madara was the reincarnation of Otsutsuki Indra, at the same time, Senju Hashirama was the reincarnation of Otsutsuki Asura, so after implanting Hashirama Cells, Madara had access to both Indra and Asura's Chakra, and the combination of Indra and Asura's Chakra allowed him to obtain Hagoromo's own chakra thus he awakened the Rinnegan.
If we keep both the conjectures in mind, then a question arises here, whether combining the Chakra of Indra and Asura to give birth to Hagoromo's Chakra is necessary or not to evolve a pair of Rinnegan? Kuroto's objective is to figure out this problem using this Implantation Operation.
Kuroto wants to understand whether Obtaining Hagoromo's Chakra is the only condition to awakening the Rinnegan or is it just one of the many ways.
If Hagoromo's Chakra is not the only necessary condition, then Kuroto has the confidence in cultivating a pair of Rinnegan.
But if Hagoromo's Chakra is the only necessary condition, then Kuroto will have to involve Uchiha Sasuke too in his research because Sasuke is the reincarnation of Indra.
With the objective of figuring out this problem, Kuroto started Shisui's implantation Operation.
After attaching all the devices to keep monitoring Shisui's vital signs all time, Kuroto disinfected the surgical instruments, then calmly replaced Shisui's eyes with the Eternal Mangekyou.
A few seconds after the eyes were implanted in Shisui's sockets, Kuroto asked, "How do you feel?"
After adjusting to the returned vision, Shisui observed the surroundings for a while, then said with a doubtful tone, "I am not sure why, but these eyes are giving me a very familiar sensation, and there is no resistance, as if these are no foreign body part, rather they have been part of my body."
Kuroto nodded with a smile upon hearing Shisui's doubts, "That's good then."
Uchiha Ryota's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan has been washed and nurtured by the Chakra of Tsukihi Clone for quite a few years already and has a high acceptance of Tsukihi Clone's Chakra.
Tsukihi Clone is a fusion of Kuroto's and Shisui's Cells, the gender of the resultant clone may have changed due to female gender determining genes being dominant, but this doesn't change the fact that Tsukihi Clone's Chakra is quite similar to that of Shisui's own Chakra, as such it is only natural that these eyes have a high acceptance rate of Shisui's Chakra.
While Shisui got more and more familiar with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Kuroto monitored the slight changes in his vital signs, and said, "The Cell activator is in full effects, the activity of the cells in your body has increased by 17%, and is still increasing which might be because of the implant of these eyes. Activate the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and let the Yin Chakra flow in your brain."
Shisui nodded, closed his eyelids, then opened them, and this time, the black eyes in his sockets have changed into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
Seeing that Shisui was able to perfectly activate those eyes, Kuroto nodded.
The first step of the operation was the replacement of eyes, which has been completed successfully, now comes the next step of injecting the Fusion Solution.
Fusion Solutions are quite unstable in nature, they can only remain stable for about an hour, after which they start to decompose, and the reaction of decomposition they generally follow is a zero-order reaction, with a half-life period of 5 minutes.
As such, they can not be kept in storage and must be prepared on sight.
So, Kuroto started the on-sight development of Fusion Solutions.
Since all the materials required were already prepared beforehand, as such, it only took about half an hour for Kuroto to prepare the Fusion Solution. After it was prepared, Kuroto transferred the Fusion Solution into an injector, and carrying the injector Kuroto walked towards the Operating Table.
After taking a reading of Shisui's Vital Signs, especially his cell Activity and Body Temperature, Kuroto said, "Now I am going to inject the Fusion Solution, be prepared to feel the pain."
Shisui nodded calmly.
Kuroto then injected the medicinal green color Fusion Solution inside Shisui's Blood Stream.
As soon as, the Fusion Solution was injected inside Shisui's blood Stream, all his veins bulged, and the dark green color veins were now visible to the naked eyes, it was as if something started to ferment in his body and the rate of transpiration increased again by 30%.
If it hadn't been for a water dripper to have been attached to Shisui's artery, he might have died due to dehydration.
Further, his heart rate increased to 240 beats per minute which are already past the dangerous levels even for a top-tier athlete, but he is a Shinobi, and Shinobi must endure and so did Shisui. Intense Pain raged in his body, it felt as if all his blood vessels will explode but Shisui only gritted his teeth and endured the burning pain.
Kuroto could see that Shisui is suffering from intense pain at this moment, but he didn't say anything and proceeded with the third step.
From a small freezer, Kuroto took out two injectors along with a dozen small glass capsules that contained a cloudy-whitish liquid.
The cloudy-whitish liquid inside the glass capsules is the specially treated Hashirama Cells.
After placing the injectors and glass capsules on the side bench, Kuroto said to Shisui, "The effect of Fusion Solution will only last for a while, so the Cell Implantation must be carried out immediately, are you ready to face one of the most intense pains of your lifetime?"
Shisui chuckled with a ragged breath, "Kuroto-san, you really aren't encouraging here."
"You are right I suppose." Kuroto nodded, then said, "Okay, so how about this?"
'Transformation Jutsu!'
Poof!
Instantly, Kuroto transformed into a cute and sexy nurse with a big bust, and said to Shisui in an encouraging tone all while winking her left eye, "Ganbatte Kudasai Shisui-kun!"
"Cough-cough, that's not funny Kuroto-san!" Shisui coughed in embarrassment, he was left speechless.
Kuroto chuckled then released the transformation, and asked, "Are you ready Shisui?" only this time, his tone was much more serious.
Shisui nodded, "Yes, I am."
"Okay, so now I am injecting the Hashirama Cells." With that said, Kuroto placed a capsule in the injector, then after taking a reading of all of Shisui's Vital Signs, he started injecting Hashirama Cells, and while keeping his eyes on monitors, he said, "Do not forget to use the Visual Prowess to suppress Hashirama Cells from taking over your body, will power alone can not stop the erosion of Hashirama Cells."
One by one, Kuroto started to inject all the 12 capsules into Shisui's body. The reason for more than one capsule is because he has reduced the potency of Hashirama Cells quite a lot, at the same time, each capsule contains a specific gene-focused Solution, therefore, all 12 are necessary for perfect implantation.
Kuroto determined this segregation upon studying the Hashirama Cells with respect to his own genes and reached the conclusion that for the perfect implantation this method is currently the most suitable one.
By perfect implantation, Kuroto means no extra face or whiteness visible in the body, which is different from the Hashirama Cell Implantation of Madara, Obito, and Danzo.
In Kuroto's view, their methods are quite crude, as such the result is not perfect, there are obviously visible traces of implantation of Hashirama cells. Shodaime-sama's face is on Madara's Chest, on Danzo's shoulder, and on half of Obito's White Zetsu-type body.
Their implantation methods were quite crude and only successful on a cellular level, or organ level, whereas, the implantation Operation, Kuroto is after is at the Genetic Level, only when the gene itself is altered, will the implantation operation will be successful, this is his opinion.
In the current Shinobi World, there are very few people capable of reaching such a level, currently, they only include him, Orochimaru, and Hiruko, at least, as per Kuroto's understanding that is.
There might be a few others, but Kuroto is not yet aware of those.
By the time, the 12th Capsule was being injected, Shisui was already writhing in pain, and this time the pain was so intense that even if he wanted to, he couldn't help but shout and wail, "Argghhhh..."
'Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!'
Poof Poof Poof Poof Poof
"Hold him still!" Kuroto created five Shadow Clones to keep Shisui on the operation bed, as well as stuffed a piece of cloth in Shisui's mouth to make sure that he doesn't accidentally bite his tongue.
After completely injecting the 12th Capsule, Kuroto put the Injector on the side and observed Shisui's state with his Tenseigan.
He could see, the intense rise in cellular activity by more than 200% additional to the previous increase.
Shisui was struggling, and it took all five of Kuroto's clones to keep Shisui's body on the bed.
If it is said that Kuroto himself wasn't nervous, then it would be a lie. Few things in the Shinobi World can make him nervous, and Shisui's current state is one of them, in fact, Kuroto could even see some tree buds sprouting out of Shisui's body and taking the form of a sapling if those buds continue to grow, then it would be very dangerous for Shisui.
But Kuroto can only watch and wait and let Shisui fight his way out, 'Come on Shisui, I know you can do this.'
