Chapter 118 Kakashi: I have the Mangekyou Sharingan?
In the cold, familiar darkness, Naruto suddenly opened his eyes.
He subconsciously looked around and found himself standing among rows of dark, empty audience seats.
Naruto pouted, looking disappointed, and muttered, "Tch, in the stands again—looks like it'll be Sasuke again today!"
Just as he was muttering to himself, two soft sounds suddenly came from not far away. With two "whoosh" sounds, two figures appeared one after another in the seats next to him.
"Kakashi-sensei! Sakura-chan!" Naruto immediately waved excitedly.
"Well, good evening, everyone." Kakashi smiled and nodded to Naruto and Sakura.
"Oh, right, Sakura-chan! I have some great news for you!" he whispered mysteriously, "I've learned a super powerful ninjutsu! It's even more powerful than the one Sasuke learned yesterday!"
"Oh?" Sakura looked at Naruto, who was beaming with skepticism. "Really? I don't believe it!"
Naruto raised his head proudly: "Of course it's true! It's 100 times more powerful than Sasuke's ninjutsu!"
Sakura couldn't help but roll her eyes. "100 times? You're bragging again. I don't believe it."
"No way!" Naruto exclaimed, waving his hands frantically. "I risked a lot of danger to learn this technique; it'll scare you to death if I told you!"

Kakashi chuckled helplessly as he watched Naruto and Sakura bicker back and forth.
Although she still had dark circles under her eyes, her mood had visibly improved.
However, he also noticed some anomalies.
He let out a soft sigh of relief, his gaze sweeping across the vast audience seats.
Why have there been only three people in the audience these past two days?
Inside the VIP box.
Uchiha Itachi also stood up steadily.
His Akatsuki-style black robe with red clouds swayed slightly with his movements.
In the dim light, Itachi's lips were tightly pressed together, his dark eyes fixed on the gradually clearing screen, his expression extremely solemn.
"Here we go again?"
The weasel muttered to itself.
Before going to bed today, he not only found a very secluded cave, but also carefully investigated the tracks behind him, confirming that no one was following him.
They even set up several traps around the area.
Uchiha was certain that no one could get to his side without disturbing him.
"Even if the surrounding area is sealed off completely, it can't stop him from pulling me into this place. Just who is he?"
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Itachi Uchiha have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
The screen then lights up, and Sasuke reappears on screen.
Seeing this, Itachi Uchiha's expression became even more solemn. He involuntarily straightened his body and watched his younger brother's dream unfold that night.
As the white light fades, a clear blue sky comes into view.
The soft morning sunlight shone on the training grounds of Konoha Village, making the dewdrops on the grass sparkle.
Sasuke opened his eyes and found himself in a familiar training ground.
Beneath my feet lay soft soil and green grass, and the melodious chirping of birds filled my ears.
"Is this the training ground?"
A gentle breeze brushed his face, and he realized that he was not in his own bedroom.
Sasuke cautiously looked around and saw three familiar figures in the training ground: Kakashi-sensei, Naruto, and Sakura.
Naruto frowned and asked with concern, "Kakashi-sensei, are your eyes alright?"
Kakashi waved and smiled at Naruto and Sakura, saying, "It's nothing, just a minor injury, it won't have much of an impact now."
Sasuke looked at Kakashi's face.
At this moment, Kakashi's left eye was wrapped in a thick bandage, but he did not look particularly weak and was obviously out of danger.
Naruto's expression was full of worry.
Seeing Kakashi say this, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Sakura looked equally worried: "Kakashi-sensei, losing an eye will affect your life, won't it?"
"Haha, don't worry." Kakashi smiled, his eyes crinkling. "In fact, I feel much more relaxed without this eye."
As he said this, there was a hint of relief in his voice.
"Really?" Sakura, who was standing nearby, felt relieved upon hearing this.
in the audience.
Sakura and Naruto exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, it seems that Kakashi-sensei in the dream has recovered quite well."
"Yes." Naruto nodded, his heart finally at ease.
In the dream, Team 7 wanted to visit Kakashi-sensei in the hospital, but they were attacked by the enemy on the way and didn't see Kakashi until the dream ended.
In reality, they never knew what Kakashi was like in the dream world.
Seeing that he was in good spirits despite losing his left eye, Naruto and Sakura both breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Kakashi himself in the audience didn't relax for long.
He stared at his own image on the screen, bandaged and swollen, recalling the dream from that day. His gaze gradually deepened.
The injury to the left eye—
Kakashi on the screen glossed over the details of what happened, but how could he, as the person involved, not know what actually happened?
Kakashi slowly raised a hand and touched his perfectly intact left eye in reality, a complex and inexplicable emotion suddenly surging in his heart.
In the dream a few days ago, a mysterious masked man suddenly appeared and forcibly took away his Sharingan.
At the time, it seemed that the other party did that simply because he had offended him.
But now, various clues suggest otherwise.
That masked man is very likely Obito!
If the masked man really is Obito, then his motives for everything he did that day become quite intriguing.
Kakashi has been observing Sasuke's dreams from the audience seats for so many days. He has seen many of Sasuke's dreams, including scenes of Shisui teaching Sasuke and even some of Shisui's guidance.
Through these experiences, he gained a profound understanding of the Sharingan, especially the special abilities of the Mangekyou Sharingan.
It's important to know that Kakashi's Sharingan in his left eye was a keepsake that Obito personally gave to him when he thought he was going to die.
For so many years, Kakashi has been fighting with this eye.
Although the Sharingan's power is immense, it doesn't truly belong to him. For him, it's more like a double-edged sword, constantly draining his chakra.
Just a few days ago in a dream, the masked man displayed a strange ability that allowed any attack to pass straight through his body!
The Obito in Kakashi's memories obviously wouldn't know such a technique.
This suggests that it was likely a special eye technique that Obito possessed after activating the Square Flower Sharingan.
Thinking of this, Kakashi couldn't help but murmur to himself, "So, it's very possible that the masked man's real target that day wasn't Kushina, but rather Kakashi in the dream—his goal was to reclaim his own eye?"
Upon realizing this, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Kakashi's eyes.
He slowly raised his hand and touched his left eye, a bold conjecture flashing through his mind: his left eye might not be as simple as the three-tomoe Sharingan it appeared to be.
Who knows... that might actually be a Mangekyou Sharingan!

At this moment, the conversation in Miyo's training ground continues.
Kakashi stood there, looked around at Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura, smiled, and asked, "While I was in the hospital, you guys didn't slack off, did you?"
"The final trial of the Chunin Exams is about to begin. I've heard that many geniuses from various ninja villages are participating in this exam."
Upon hearing this, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura straightened their backs and answered in unison, "No! We've all been training diligently!"
"Yes, very good." Kakashi nodded with a satisfied smile.
Naruto also put away his gentle smile and revealed a rare, sharp and serious expression.
With brimming confidence, he raised his head and declared, "Don't worry, Kakashi-sensei! I'm already ready to see the geniuses from other villages!"
"Is that so?" Kakashi replied with a smile, about to say something more, when he heard a soft hum from the side.
Sasuke crossed his arms, a subtle smile suddenly appearing on his lips.
He stepped forward, staring at Naruto, and said, "Hey, Naruto—" Sasuke's lips curled into a confident smile, tinged with impatience, "Want to have a match now?"
"A contest?" Naruto was slightly taken aback.
Sasuke nodded, his eyes burning: "Consider it a way to show Kakashi-sensei the results of our recent training."
He cracked his knuckles, a sharp smile playing on his lips. "Perfect timing. I've learned a few new tricks from Nissan lately, and I'm eager to try them out—to see if I can really beat you now!"
These words, though spoken in a low tone, conveyed a strong fighting spirit.
The air suddenly became tense.
