Chapter 104 Kakashi Returns, Hizashi Dies!
He wasn't questioning, but confirming. If he couldn't do it, the Snow Country would inevitably suffer the other party's wrath, so he had to speak up.
Izumi put down her teacup, glanced at him, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
"You don't need to worry about that."
"These projects will be assisted by skeletal golems."
Feng Hua Zaoxue was slightly taken aback. He had witnessed the power of those white figures before; they had easily controlled the entire Daming Prefecture.
Tireless, undeterred by the bitter cold, fearless of death. If a group of such beings were to be deployed to construction—
"In addition," Izumi added, "we will have Fuuka Nutsuo develop some equipment and put it into use."
Feng Hua Zao Xue was taken aback again.
raging waves?
Izumikawa seemed to see his confusion, but did not explain further, simply saying, "The technology of chakra armor, when used in construction, may not be inferior to that used in combat."
Feng Hua Zao Xue remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.
He carefully put the reel away and bowed again.
"I see."
This time, his voice lacked the previous worry and the bitterness of forced obedience.
Instead, something—something he himself couldn't quite explain—was introduced.
It was as if I had seen a possibility, or as if I had been groping in the dark for a long time and finally saw a glimmer of light ahead.
He turned and left, his footsteps fading into the distance in the corridor.
Inside the room, Momona tilted her head and looked in the direction where Kazaka Hayate had left, then looked at Izumikawa, and asked softly, "Master, he seems... a little different than before?"
Izumi picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said nothing.
People always prefer compromises. If you suggest opening a window, they absolutely refuse.
But when you threaten to tear the whole roof off, they obediently agree to open the windows.
The fleeting beauty of nature today is just like that.
The villainous image he had deliberately created must have already made Kazahana Hayase prepare for the worst.
The Land of Snow is likely to fall into dire straits, with its people suffering, families ruined, and even daughters unsafe.
But when Kazayuki actually saw the plan he presented, she realized that things were not as bad as she had imagined.
To control the Snow Country, all that's required is to develop industries, improve people's livelihoods, and advance construction.
If that's the case, it won't destroy the Land of Snow; it might even make it better.
As a result, people's acceptance of Feng Hua Zaoxue increased significantly, and even—deep down—they might have felt a bit of gratitude towards him.
That's human nature, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Alright, let's begin!
Izumi put down his tea; the plan to establish the second base needed to be put on the agenda.
At the same time, he should also begin his attempt to fuse Hashirama cells; after such a long delay, it's time to take this step.
Furthermore, the chakra and power characteristics contained in the nurtured Eight-Tails fragment are closely related to flesh and blood.
If we're talking about which tailed beast is best suited to the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse), it would probably be the Eight-Tails, Gyūki.
The ability to regenerate and control flesh and blood is similar to that of the "butterfly" in the Ino-Shika-Cho triad, which is also the core of the Akimichi clan's secret technique.
It can enlarge the body or change its shape to a certain extent. When used in conjunction with the Corpse Bone Pulse, it can be described as a powerful combination.
Now, with Obito's left eye, he also has the ability to enter the Kamui dimension.
The only unfortunate thing is that this eye is currently connected to Obito's main body.
He can get in, and so can Obito, but conversely, they want to deal with him.
Having this eye is also the simplest way; as long as he enters the Kamui dimension, Obito will eventually discover him.
Next, we need to find the Uchiha clan's secret technique for transplanting eye techniques.
The method is simple: just unseal that Uchiha prodigy and try to obtain traces from his eyes.
After taking Obito's right eye, I will completely merge Kamui and all of his ocular power into his left eye.
With intercolumnar cells at hand, there's no need to worry about going blind.
With further refinement and improvement through optimization, it should be able to reach the level of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
As for the Rinnegan—let's not even think about it for now.
Without the intertwining of Asura's and Indra's chakra, those eyes could not have evolved.
That's a matter for another time.
After the transplantation of the Hashirama cells is successful, I'll go find Obito and have a chat, and see if he'll break down.
One week later, Konoha.
A travel-worn Kakashi walked through the familiar streets, without going home or stopping, and went straight into the Hokage Building.
There was a knock on the door of the Hokage's office.
"Come in."
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, put down his pipe and looked up at the doorway. Kakashi pushed the door open and entered, kneeling on one knee with a swift and decisive movement.
"Third Generation Lord, mission accomplished."
Without saying anything more, he handed over the task report he had prepared in advance with both hands.
Only then did they begin to report the important intelligence that had occurred during the trip, information that was not suitable to be written down and could only be spoken orally in person.
The third generation took the report and quickly scanned the paper.
The establishment of diplomatic relations with the Land of Snow was within his expectations. Kazahana Hayayuki was willing to establish trade relations with the Land of Fire, which would benefit both sides, and this part was easy to handle.
But his brows quickly furrowed.
The person who appeared in the Land of Snow and stole Kakashi's Sharingan was Taketori Izumi.
This wasn't the first time this name had appeared on his desk.
From kidnapping Tsunade to infiltrating Konoha, and now targeting Kakashi—this rogue ninja from Kirigakure has repeatedly attacked Konoha, and each time his target has been a key figure in the village.
Tsunade, Kakashi, and those hidden schemes yet to surface all filled the Third Hokage with deep apprehension.
He had assumed that the person who had set his sights on the Uchiha clan and the Sharingan would eventually target Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi.
Unexpectedly, he feinted and then took Kakashi's eye.
The three generations sighed inwardly.
He raised his head slightly, his gaze falling on Kakashi, and said in a steady, deep voice, "Kakashi, let me see your left eye."
Without hesitation, Kakashi silently pulled off the Konoha headband he was wearing at an angle.
The left eye was visible, and it looked no different from a normal person's eye.
Black pupils, green under-eye area, very ordinary, seemingly nothing special.
However, compared to Kakashi's right eye, it appears to have heterochromia.
The third generation stared at that eye for a long time, his gaze sharp, trying to discern something from it.
For example, traces of the technique, residual chakra, or any slight abnormality.
But there was nothing there. The eye was quietly embedded in Kakashi's eye socket, like an ordinary eye.
He nodded slightly, and Kakashi pulled his headband down again to cover it.
"You did a good job." The Third Hokage's voice carried a hint of approval. "You didn't damage the eye, nor did you leak any information."
He paused, then added, "In the future, perhaps we'll be able to use these eyes to find traces of that guy."
.
This statement is not definitively stated, but it is at least a possibility.
"Regarding this eye—" the Third Hokage's tone became more cautious, "Have you experienced any discomfort or other sensations along the way?"
Kakashi shook his head slightly. If he had to say something, it would be that he had gained a lot more chakra after losing his Sharingan.
But—this should be the normal situation, and that's what puzzled him.
When that eye was inserted, the excruciating pain that spread throughout his body caused him, a ninja who had undergone special training in the Anbu, to faint.
But when I woke up, it was as if nothing had happened.
It doesn't hurt, it doesn't itch, there's no foreign body sensation, and even the flow of chakra is smooth and free.
He checked it countless times but couldn't find anything wrong.
The third generation fell into deep thought once again.
He thought of Tsunade.
The hidden hand that person left in Tsunade and Shizune's bodies is controlled through the Yin Seal.
Kakashi doesn't have that scarlet diamond-shaped mark on his forehead—is it not marked, or is it marked somewhere else?
Is something missing? Or did the other party never intend to control Kakashi the way they controlled Tsunade?
But if there was no intention to control it, why put that eye into Kakashi's eye socket?
What's the point of letting him keep this eye?
The third generation was slightly irritated, but he didn't show it on his face.
He took a drag of his cigarette, slowly exhaled, and the smoke rose and dispersed between the two of them.
"Although we don't know what their purpose is, just to be on the safe side—" The Third Hokage's tone became formal, "go to the Anbu and conduct a thorough investigation."
Kakashi didn't move, listening quietly.
"Go back to the sealing class and have them seal your left eye. That's to prevent the other party from doing anything to that eye."
The Third Hokage paused here, his gaze falling on Kakashi's face, his expression softening.
"Of course—if you want to remove it, I will agree with your opinion."
He understood the significance of that Sharingan to Kakashi.
That was a memento left to him by Obito, one of the things he cherished most.
Now that he's been given an eye of unknown origin, he must be feeling terrible.
The third generation didn't want to force him to keep the eye, so they gave him this option.
Kakashi's expression remained completely unchanged.
Along the way, he had thought a lot and adjusted his mindset.
It's a fact that Obito's eye was taken away.
The eye that remained in his eye socket was the enemy's eye, something the enemy had deliberately left behind.
He will not let personal feelings cloud his judgment, and he will obey any order.
and----
He has a new goal.
Take back Obito's Sharingan from that person.
"No need!" Kakashi's voice was calm and firm. "I'll report to the Anbu and the Sealing Squad. This eye—keep it for now; it might really be a clue to finding him."
The third generation looked at him and nodded slightly.
"Go."
Kakashi stood up, turned, and left the office. The door closed softly behind him, and his footsteps faded into the distance.
The third generation picked up the pipe again and took a deep drag.
Amidst the swirling smoke, his gaze fell upon the intelligence report before him; these were turbulent times indeed.
Not long ago, the arrival of the Cloud Ninja envoys, who infiltrated the Hyuga clan's territory in an attempt to kidnap the main family's heir, was met with a single blow.
The Cloud Ninja turned the tables and aggressively tried to exchange lives for lives, but in the end, the Hyuga clan handed over Hizashi's body to settle the matter.
This led to a peace agreement between Konoha and Kumogakure, bringing an end to the war.
