Chapter 142 Returning to the Village, the Third Generation's Pipe Can't Hold Back Anymore
"Phew... I didn't expect things to end so smoothly. That was really dangerous!"
"It almost started a war, but fortunately Ishikawa turned the tide at the crucial moment. Hmm, Captain Kakashi is also very impressive, showing no mercy in the face of the threat from Kirigakure."
"By the way, Ishikawa, what's wrong with your eyes? You can actually see through that guy's Byakugan. And Captain Kakashi, how did your Sharingan and strength suddenly increase so much?"
On the sea, the three of them, Xuanjian and his companions, were having a lively discussion, and finally turned their puzzled gazes to the silent master and disciple.
Although it was satisfying to intimidate the Hidden Mist Village just now, the changes in these two are something the three of them cannot ignore!
"Uh, didn't that rogue ninja named Hiruko say that his Oni-Garra Technique was a forbidden technique that fused with a bloodline limit? Although I'm just guessing, that's the only possible reason. We were affected and assimilated by that technique during our battle with him, and then we were influenced to have the current effect."
"This eye is very likely the first bloodline limit he mentioned, possessing X-ray vision abilities comparable to the Byakugan. When used, the eye is completely red, so I call it the Red Eye," Ishikawa said, scratching his head in speculation, while simultaneously giving Kakashi a mental suggestion.
By using Biluhu to allow the Red-Eyed One to surface openly and legitimately, this was his only chance to do so.
The so-called trump card is to constantly introduce new ones. Currently, White Zetsu is his second trump card besides the Hyperdimension Room!
"Is that so? But that guy's eyes were indeed very red before, with an arrogant look that seemed to see through everything. Hmm, he seemed to have said before that the Dark Release was the second bloodline he was going to fuse with, so this must be the first." Genma nodded in deep agreement, which prompted Kakashi next to him to nod repeatedly.
This is probably the only explanation for the changes in him and Ishikawa. Although Hiruko's motives were impure, he inadvertently did him a great favor!
Feeling the Mangekyou Sharingan now closed and without any burden, Kakashi's mood was once again extremely pleasant...
However, out of habit, and also to keep the secret and give the enemy the wrong information, he still covered his left eye with the Konoha headband as before.
"Keep Ishikawa's eyes and my kaleidoscope a secret. I will report to the Hokage personally later. Now go and meet up with Tarojiro and the others, and hurry back to the village to hand in the mission."
"Yes, Captain." Upon hearing Kakashi's instructions, Genma and the other two responded in unison. For ninjas, keeping their comrades' information confidential is a basic principle.
As experienced seniors, they naturally wouldn't reveal the information casually, lest the enemy learn of it and target them in advance.
"Follow me, I see Taro and the others." Ishikawa called out in a low voice and led the way, relieved that they had finally passed through safely!
As long as those few believe it to be true, the third generation who are not present will absolutely not suspect anything.
Meanwhile, about a kilometer behind them.
"Ao, have you found anything? Is that guy's chakra the same as the genjutsu chakra that controlled the Fourth Hokage?" Mei Terumi asked solemnly, holding her lightning sword, after witnessing Kakashi's disappearing figure.
If Konoha is indeed behind the manipulation of the Fourth Hokage, does that mean the infamous Akatsuki organization also has some connection with Konoha?
The waters here are very deep; a slight misstep could lead to repeating past mistakes.
“No, the chakra in Kakashi Hatake’s Sharingan is different from the genjutsu chakra on the Fourth Hokage! Moreover, the Fourth Hokage’s control can be traced back to the Third Shinobi World War, so according to the timeline, that person shouldn’t be him.” Ao shook his head helplessly with his Byakugan, which made Terumi Mei secretly breathe a sigh of relief while gritting her teeth.
Damn it, if it weren't for that mastermind, Wuyin, how could they have fallen into such a terrible situation, almost abandoned by everyone?
"Let's go back and report to Master Yuan to fulfill the contract. At the same time, the village should also select a new successor for the Thunder Blade." Suddenly, Terumi Mei tossed her long hair and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Qing and the members of the Dark Guard exchanged a glance and quickly followed, fleeing into the distance...
The next morning, at the Hokage Building in Konoha.
"What? You've encountered an S-rank rogue ninja, Hiruko??" Upon hearing Kakashi's opening remarks, the Third Hokage's lips twitched, clearly not impressed by Kakashi's bad luck.
He had previously said everything was going smoothly and there shouldn't be any surprises, so he only sent Ishikawa and two others to deliver the contract. Unexpectedly, Ishikawa and his team encountered unexpected trouble upon arrival, and their opponent was an S-rank rogue ninja from the same cohort as Jiraiya.
"Well, everything turned out alright! This is the contract signed by Kirigakure and the intelligence we gathered about Kirigakure, and then..." Kakashi handed over two scrolls, then briefly recounted the battle, the awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan, and Ishikawa's Red Eye.
However, Kakashi wasn't stupid enough to reveal everything. Knowing about Danzo of Root, he didn't mention that he had eliminated the side effects, perfectly controlled the Mangekyou Sharingan, and that his physique had improved significantly, allowing him to extract more chakra.
And that's not the main point. The main point is that without the Sharingan's burden, his body has regained its vitality, and his chakra has entered a phase of rapid growth, accumulating strength for a powerful burst! In less than a year, he will surpass his father, Konoha's White Fang, without relying on the Mangekyou Sharingan.
"Kaleidoscope Sharingan! Red eyes!!" Seeing Genma and the other two nodding in confirmation, the Third Hokage excitedly slammed his hand on the table, almost dropping his pipe.
Konoha is desperately eager to have a new Hokage-level ninja! Kakashi, with his Mangekyou Sharingan awakened, definitely deserves to be compared to a Kage.
Most importantly, with Kakashi around, Naruto can be handed over to Kakashi to lead the team without any worries about the safety of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
It's stable, everything is stable!
Konoha has finally entered a phase of orderly development again...
"Very good, then you'll be rated S-rank for this mission. I'll arrange the distribution of the mission rewards later. Go back and rest!"
"Yes, Lord Hokage." Including Ishikawa, Kakashi and Genma, the other three, respectfully took their leave at the same time.
As for the two underlings? These genin don't need to attend such reports; they've already gone home to rest!
"The Demon Sprout Technique, huh? I didn't expect that Hiruko would actually complete the development of that forbidden technique. What a pity..." After Kakashi and the others left, the Third Hokage sighed softly, thinking of that figure from his memories.
If we can obtain that technique, perhaps the long-dormant Wood Release experiments can be restarted. Konoha will then usher in a true rise to great power!
What a pity, what a pity...
