Chapter 54: Fearless In The Shadow Of Death

The emergence of the Nirvana Sharingan filled Sato with an unprecedented sense of security. He had always been afraid of death and never denied it. This fear caused him to forget to retrieve Shisui's body tissue when he was five years old, leading to long-lasting regret. His fear of death prevented him from participating in the Uchiha Genocide Night, even though he could have obtained the Mangekyō Sharingan earlier. Sato endured for nine years before perfecting his tomb robbery plan.

Throughout his life, Sato had never taken risks due to his overwhelming fear of death. However, in his current life, as an ordinary person with an extraordinary existence, his fear of death multiplied by a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times. This fear drove him to seek ways to attain eternal life, not only for himself but also for his loved ones. The appearance of the Nirvana Sharingan provided Sato not only with a sense of security but also with the freedom to make mistakes.

Sato, now liberated from excessive caution, could finally be arrogant, self-willed, and reckless. He realized why every Uchiha who awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan underwent a significant change in temperament. Their newfound power, mastering immensely powerful Sharingan techniques, led to inflated egos. Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke were no exceptions. Sato also experienced this swell of power when death was no longer a threat. He felt liberated from the constraints of the world, except for his limited lifespan.

Fortunately, Sato's past experiences had shaped him into a rational person. Although initially excited, he quickly calmed himself and proceeded with his plans. He retrieved another Uchiha's corpse and used the Impure World Reincarnation technique to bring it into the refining space. Within the refining space, the corpse underwent a transformation, its molecules dividing into four parts. The energy-enhancing part merged with Sato, enhancing his physical and mental energy. The memory film formed a floating ball of light, while the last part disappeared into thin air.

Simultaneously, Sato's consciousness followed the vanishing black light and entered a mysterious different space known as the "Nirvana space." In this space, characterized by a blood-red sky, a barren and cold atmosphere, and a river of blood, a tombstone emerged, and a corpse crawled out. This corpse, belonging to the Impure World Reincarnation Sato had devoured earlier, possessed a pair of Two Tomoe Sharingan. It was a puppet controlled by Sato, part of the abilities granted by the left eye's Nirvana Sharingan.

The Nirvana Sharingan's different space had advantages over the Impure World Reincarnation body, such as an immortal body that could be summoned repeatedly. However, the corpse lacked Chakra and required Sato's supply. The amount of Chakra the corpse could carry was limited to its pre-death level. Sato regretted this limitation but acknowledged the strength of the abilities granted by the left eye's Nirvana Sharingan.

In summary, Sato's fear of death led to missed opportunities and regrets throughout his life. The emergence of the Nirvana Sharingan provided him with a newfound sense of security and the ability to summon and control the corpses of devoured individuals. While the corpse possessed an immortal body, it required Chakra supplied by Sato and had limitations based on the Chakra level before death. Despite this, Sato recognized the power and potential of his newly acquired abilities.
