After observing the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharing Karin's eyesockets, Kuroto couldn't help but mutter with a frown, "This is a bit strange."
Karin got worried by Kuroto's frown, and asked, "Kuroto-sama, what's the matter? Is something wrong with these eyes?"
Kuroto was too busy thinking that he didn't answer Karin.
Since Karin can feel the living characteristics of the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan so early, it can only mean that the pair of eyes has recovered the visual prowess. However, this is quite strange in his opinion because the time it took for the pair of eyes to recover the visual prowess is less than his prediction.
Before he took these eyes from Danzo, these pair of eyes were only a step away from evolving into the Rinnegan. If Kuroto had delayed a second, then another pair of Rinnegan would have taken birth in the Shinobi World, but he made it in time and gouged out these eyes at the right time and interrupted their evolution.
This sudden interruption of the evolution caused a heavy injury to the pair of eyes. The injury would have been irreparable if it was a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan and in that situation, it would have been better to just destroy these eyes, fortunately, these are Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and their visual prowess would be restored over time.
But the thing is, restoration should have taken a lot of time because of the injury. Despite Karin being responsible for the restoration, it would take at least five to six months for the eyes to recover their lost Visual Prowess as per Kuroto's expectation.
Unexpectedly, it's only been two months or something and the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan has already recovered to the point of being able to make Karin feel its alive characteristics.
He could only attribute the result to Karin's special physique, and thought, 'It seems that with the increase in Karin's physical strength, her ability to heal others has also improved.'
Seeing Kuroto silent, Karin became more and more nervous, she held Kuroto's sleeves, and asked, "Kuroto-sama, did you find something? Is something wrong with these eyes?"
Kuroto recovered from his thoughts, "Ah… I was distracted for a second." and shook his head and replied to her with a smile, "No need to be nervous."
Karin asked, "Does that mean there is nothing wrong with these eyes?"
Kuroto nodded, "Pretty much." And added, "I was just surprised that these eyes recovered their lost Visual Prowess much faster than my prediction."
Karin nodded, "I see." And asked in a puzzled tone, "This isn't a bad thing, right?"
Kuroto said, "Yes, it's not a bad thing." And added, "But here's the problem, since these eyes are recovering their lost visual prowess faster than my expectations, you won't be able to perfectly adapt to them in time, and soon they will start to affect you."
"This…?!" Karin was stunned.
Kuroto smiled and shook his head. This is pretty normal considering that this pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan was obtained through unconventional means. It is like a by-product of the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual that Danzo went through.
Since it is a by-product of that ceremony, it contains the obsession of almost all the shinobi who were part of the ceremony including Danzo who was its prime user. This is why controlling this pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is much more difficult compared to the orthodox pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, especially for Karin who is but a child.
Kuroto had planned to train Karin slowly so that she could adapt to these eyes over time, but since they are recovering faster, his plans are affected which is a little problematic. But all is not bad. Since these pairs of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan are recovering faster, this also means that the Rinnegan can be created earlier than he initially planned, and now he will have to reformulate his plans.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Karin. He is a little worried that these changes of plans will put a lot of toll on her.
Perhaps Karin felt Kuroto's concern and smiled at him. Indicating that she'd be fine no matter what, she has the determination. To Karin, being helpful to Kuroto is the most important. She doesn't care about the consequences.
Seeing Karin's smile, Kuroto patted her head. If Karin has the determination, then Kuroto is ready to go through and start to reformulate his previous plans as per the current circumstances.
As per Kuroto's own understanding of things, there are two ways to create the Rinnegan using the resources he has in his hands.
The first method is the forced absorption of Visual prowess from the other pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan to trigger the evolution of Dojutsu. This is the method Shimura Danzo was trying to use to evolve his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan into the Rinnegan.
The second method is the transplantation method which involves the fusion of the Yin-Yang chakra. Karin will be the source of Yang Chakra and the two pairs of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan will be the source of Yin Chakra. These Yin and Yang chakra sources will fuse over time and give birth to the Rinnegan.
Of the two methods, the first method will obviously take less time and will be easier, but at the same time, it is more risky and dangerous compared to the second method.
On the other hand, although the second method will be more time-consuming, and laborious, it will not be as risky and dangerous.
If he didn't have Karin, Kuroto would have chosen the first method, but since he has Karin, so the second method is his choice.
Besides, a difference of a few months will have no impact on his plans. Kuroto is not in immediate need of Rinnegan, so has all the more reason to go with the second method.
After making up his mind, Kuroto looked at Karin.
Karin muttered, "Kuroto-sama?"
Kuroto rubbed Karin's head, and said with a smile, "Well, since this pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan has almost healed from the injury and is close to recovering its lost Visual Prowess, it's time to replace this pair with another pair of eyes that I have. Those eyes are also injured and require healing. Are you fine with changing the eyes?"
Karin nodded quickly, "Yes, I have no problem."
With that Kuroto took Karin to his laboratory and started the eye transplantation operation on her.

In less than fifteen minutes Kuroto completed the eye transplantation operation, changing the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in the eye sockets of Karin.
After cleaning the surgical tools, he asked Karin, "How do you feel?"
Karin spent a few minutes, and replied, "I… I don't feel anything… these eyes seem to be the same as the previous ones."
Kuroto nodded, "That is natural. These eyes are similar to the ones you were using until a while ago." And added after a pause, "Oh and one more thing… similar to the last time, these eyes are also in a dormant state because of the exhaustion of Visual Prowess. It will take some time for the visual prowess to be restored."
Karin nodded, "I understand." Then she paused and asked, "Kuroto-sama, may I ask a question?"
"Go ahead." Replied Kuroto, while sealing the other pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan inside a scroll.
Karin thought about it for a while, and spoke, "Kuroto-sama, initially, you transplanted a pair of eyes, and once they were healed, you changed them with another pair… you have given me those eyes, and then changed, it's not just because you want them to be healed, right?"
Kuroto blinked at Karin's question, and couldn't help but think, 'She has indeed become sharp.' He wasn't upset or anything, and replied with a smile, "Yes, my purpose is not just the recovery of eyes, there is a lofty goal behind doing these actions." He paused here and said, "If you are interested in knowing then I don't mind telling you… I am actually carrying out preparation for the synthesis of the Rinnegan."
"The Rinnegan?" muttered Karin, ignorant of what 'Rinnegan' means.
"Mm-hmm, the Rinnegan." – Being aware of Karin's lack of knowledge, Kuroto explained what Rinnegan is to her.
"So… the Rinnegan are the eyes of the Sage of Six Path!" She was highly surprised. She didn't think that Kuroto-sama planned to create something so incredible and admired him more.
Kuroto smiled at her excitement, and explained, "For the synthesis of Rinnegan, I need someone who has high chakra reserves, can provide Yang Chakra, and is trustworthy… You are the only one besides me who fulfills all these requirements; therefore, I have chosen you for this." Then he paused and asked, "So, what do you say, do you want to help me?"
After a while of silence, Karin asked, "Kuroto-sama, is Rinnegan important to you?"
Kuroto nodded, "Yes. I require it for something."
Hearing Kuroto's answer, Karin nodded, "Since Rinnegan is important to you, then I will definitely help you. I will do my best in synthesizing it and I will return them to you for sure!"
Kuroto rubbed Karin's head, and said, "It's true that I need the Rinnegan, however, I can't use it considering what my purpose is."
"Huh? What do you mean Kuroto-sama?" asked Karin, stunned and confused.
After pondering for a while, Kuroto felt that it was necessary to tell her his purpose, and explained, "The reason why Rinnegan is known as the greatest of three Dojutsu is that aside from granting incredible power to its user, it also grants them the ability to reverse life and death… that is the ability I need."
"Reverse Life and Death?" muttered Karin. She seemed a little stunned, but as the realization dawned on her, she became panicked, and asked, "Does that mean… does that mean you are…?"
Kuroto rubbed Karin's head and said, "Don't worry, I am completely fine right now, it's related to the future." And explained, "In the new future, I will be doing something very dangerous. That something is full of uncertainty and even I am not sure if I will be able to survive, in fact, there is a ninety percent chance that I will fail and end up dying."
Although Kuroto has a lot of expectations from the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual, this doesn't mean he isn't afraid of failure. Even after he has gained a lot of knowledge after witnessing two ceremonies, he is still not completely assured of success.
After all, the ceremony in Kuroto's mind is way more dangerous than what Hiruko and Danzo went through.
Unlike those two, he wants to become the true God, just like Kaguya and that is not easy. It is the qualitative change of life. Not something one can achieve in the earlier stages of the ceremony.
In the millennium-year-long history of the Shinobi World, except for Kaguya, there has never been another person to have achieved true Godhood.
Even Kaguya's two sons, the Sage of Six Path and Hamura haven't achieved true Godhood.
But Kuroto wants to do it, however, it is very dangerous and he might end up dying in the process.
Karin was anxious now, and asked, "Since it's so dangerous then please don't do it… if something were to happen to Kuroto-sama… then… then…"
Kuroto shook his head, "I can't stop… I have to do it… No, I must do it… this is the pursuit of my life."
Tears started to flow from Karin's eyes, and she tried to persuade Kuroto, "Please… Kuroto-sama…"
Kuroto just smiled and shook his head, "I can't." and added, "And you don't need to be so anxious… Am I not already preparing a countermeasure to my failure?"
No amount of preparation can give him the confidence that he will succeed. Therefore, he needs the Rinnegan, a Dojutsu capable of reversing life and death; and bringing people back to life.
With Rinnegan Kuroto can be brought back to life, and once that happens, he has another chance to undergo the ritual. After learning from the mistake of the first attempt, he can make all the necessary changes so that he definitely succeeds on the second attempt.
"The Rinnegan?" muttered Karin in realization.
Kuroto nodded, "If I were to fail and end up dying, I would need someone to use the Rinnegan and bring me back to life."
"I see, it makes sense." Nodded Karin, and said, "Then please leave this task to me, I will definitely bring you back to life."
Kuroto flicked Karin's forehead to interrupt her and said, "Don't be so eager to reply, first hear all the details. Although Rinnegan can reverse the cycle of life and death and bring people back to life, however, it's not free of cost. The price is the user's own life, which means that if you were to bring me back to life, it would be at the cost of your own life."
"At the cost of my life?" muttered Karin, somewhat afraid.
Kuroto nodded, "Yes." And asked, "So, tell me, are you willing to sacrifice your life for me?"
"I… I…" she stammered, a little afraid initially. But as she thought more about it, all the fear disappeared and she nodded with a resolute expression, "I will… For Kuroto-sama, I will do anything!"
