Chapter-27: The encounter and Breaking fetters

(MC POV)

After a few days of arrangements, I had finally passed the another one of the of the policies.

All the changes that I saw fit were now implemented and now the village was way more efficient in making stable as well as loyal shinobi.

I will relax for the time being and pass policies and plans later on.

I don't need to rush.

I also started more training for team-7 now.

I needed them to get even more stronger if they are to assist me in my endeavors.

I also assigned Jiraiya to get Tsunade back as I had some important terms to discuss with her.

I was going to tie her down to my village so that I can produce better medic nins.

Even with all the medic knowledge that I got from several people, especially Akihiko (Head doc of Konoha; Now dead), I still think that my knowledge will still be dwarfed by hers.

She only has 2 options now.

Either do make do with my terms or die as I absorb her soul information with human path.

I am not affected by her demeanor, looks or the like.

I simply do not care.

She is merely a tool for me.

My path will not be hindered.

Though I'd like her to be more sane and just accept my terms.

An alive Sannin is better than a dead one.

It was morning time and I was just reading the reports brought in.

Suddenly, an ANBU member appeared before me.

"Hokage-sama, 2 S-rank criminals from Akatsuki, Itachi Uchiha and Hoshigake Kisame have entered the village. It seems you assumption was correct and according to your order's we only observed them from a distance and relayed the message to you as soon as possible." ANBU said.

"Hahaha. I think it's time to blow off some steam." I said as I picked up my cloak.

My current outfit included standard full-length black pants with a white T-shirt with Uchiha symbol as well Uchiha written on it in Granjon Roman ( A font used by aesthetic companies like GUCCI.)

I also wore a white cloak with Uchiha symbol and Hokage written on it with Kanji with in Blood red color adorned with black and red colored flame pattern on the end.

After flickering following ANBU for a bit, I reached the location where Itachi and Kisame were fighting Kakashi, Asuma, Gai and Kurenai.

"My goodness! How dare you have all fun by yourself? This is a sort of betraying, isn't it?" I asked in a playful voice.

"Finally, we meet Kazuya or should I call you Hokage-sama?" Itachi said.

I didn't respond to him immediately but turned towards the jonins.

"You should probably take away Kakashi. I think that Itachi used Tsukuyomi on hi and Tsukuyomi is no joke to handle. All of you retreat. I won't accept disapproval. You should allow your cute Hokage to blow off some steam." I said to Gai who picked Kakashi and left along with Asuma and Kurenai.

They gritted their teeth and retreated. They knew they were too weak.

Gai simply retreated because he knew I could deal with them and Kakashi would die if he didn't leave.

"Now...Let's continue. Where were we? Oh if it isn't My dear big brother and his pet shark! Honestly I thought you would arrive last month. What do you think you are doing here?" I asked with a smile.

Kisame just had an enraged look in his eyes but Itachi just stared him and Kisame calmed down.

"You are someone well worth lopping his head off too. I didn't think I'd find two targets in a row today. Too bad you are Itachi's brother." He said as pointed Samehada towards me.

"So do you want to fight now? I was really bored from all the paperwork, after all. I'd entertain my foolishly manipulated and thrown away brother and a shark with existential crisis. Let's fight! But not here. I don't want you to destroy the village. Let's go somewhere else!" I said as I threw a few Kunai with explosion tags on them while I closed my eyes to quickly activate Rinnagan, use Amenoukihashi and Teleport behind them and teleport with them to a barren land.

I almost got cut by Samehada but decades of experience (from taking ninja memories) helped me and I dodged it seamlessly.

I deactivated my Rinnegan.

All this happened in an instant.

I was now in front of them.

I activated my Sharingan.

Itachi decided to attack me first.

Competing with him was easy as I had way more experience as well as abilities than him.

He used many interesting jutsu and I got to copy them.

One of them was Shadow clone explosion jutsu.

This will be handy for Naruto.

Imagining him blowing up his shadow clones even makes me a little uneasy. He won't be able to defeat me but one bad move might injure even Kage level ninjas.

Kisame also tried attacking me with Samehada.

Itachi used Tsukuyomi on me but dispelling it only needed me to activate rinnegan and use a genjutsu of my own on myself to overpower Tsukuyomi and hence me releasing the genjutsu I placed on myself, effectively removing Tsukuyomi.

Itachi was surprised a bit too much by this but nonetheless started using fire style against me.

I used my gunbai to dispell the effect though.

My proficiency is getting way better at gunbai.

It had a high skill bar to use as the recorded movement were extremely simple and the rest of the usage was just battle instincts.

I also created a few moves of my own.

I came up with this trick after experimenting a lot on genjutsu, human brain and sharingan.

We fought for about 1 hour.

I still had no major injuries, only a few scratches which were healing at a rapid pace due to concentrated Yang chakra in my possession while Itachi had a big scratch on his face which went from his right cheek, stretching diagonally towards his right shoulder and Kisame had a big burn mark on his face near the eye.

They were also really beat up.

"Now, Let's wrap this up." I said as I created 20 hand seals.

"Genjutsu: Deadlight Horror!" I said as I place only Kisame in the genjutsu.

I quickly moved towards Itachi and poked him really hard just under his ribcage with my fingers, make him grit his teeth and be in a lot of pain.

They would've retreated by now but the location change was too much for them. It would've backfired.

"How does it feel to toil for your own two little brother for absolutely no reason? How does it feel to be manipulated by 2 old dogs and massacring your entire clan? Does it feel sad? Do you feel as if you writhe in pain every single moment? Tell me!" I said with a maniacal grin while putting a foot on his chest and slowly increasing the pressure.

"You failed the clan too miserably. Even with an amazing degree of perception as well intelligence, you let your emotions get the best of you. Murdering the clan to prevent coup? You could've killed Shimura Danzo as well as the rebels in the Uchiha clan. Even if coup was successful, all you had to do was create a lot of chaos in between other elemental nations to distract them away while we recovered. But you decided on an even ardent path. One that will ensure your suffering and we suffer with you alongside..." I said with anger.

It felt really bad to do this.

I hated myself for doing this.

But I needed to know what he was thinking.

"That....That would've just incited more war. Peace would never be truly achieved. It will just continue the cycle of hatred. *Cough* We stick to what we know and that is what we define as our own reality. Breaking this cycle and seeing the bigger picture is the only way to truly achieve peace. I wanted to do it for you, for Sasuke, for my family, for the village. But all is lost to me. I lost myself as well as almost all my loved ones on the path that I treaded. The least I can do is make both of you able to survive this cruel world." He said with regret in his voice.

I was enraged.

Extremely enraged.

At least I need to look like that.

I increased the pressure on his chest.

A bone cracked.

He started scream in agony due to pain.

"That no justification. Let me conclude it for you. You stuck to your own delusions that you didn't want to break and ended up paying the price. When you couldn't, you just left and the debt was forever etched on our backs like slave marks. You made us live a life worse than death. I could simply suffer and survive for I am not that feeble to break down...but can Sasuke do it? He is now obsessed about getting revenge now. I don't have the heart to tell him the truth. What should I do? Tell him that his big brother massacred entire clan just to save his little brothers and the twin brother dealt with the true mastermind behind it. Do you think he will think that he has any purpose to live after that? He will collapse and die from the emotional presssure. I always thought that you could've been saved but I was wrong. You being saved is...Extremely contradicting. You deserve it but at the same time you don't. Peace is something that is only decided by the strong. As long as you are truly strong, many paths for peace open up to you. Something that your organization is working upon albeit in it's own wretched way." I said as I removed my foot.

I created 2 shadow clones.

Both of them picked up Itachi and supported him.

"I know that you are suffering constantly. Therefore, I will give you one last chance to pay off the little debt by saving Sasuke from Orochimaru's hands. I will not tolerate any failures." I said as I activated my mangekyo.

He was extremely surprised to see them.

"Do not worry about these eyes. Unlike yours, that are temporary, mine is eternal. Something I achieved on my path of science and death." I said as I turned my head away and looked towards Kisame.

Samehada was wriggling very ferociously when I started moving towards Kisame.

I activated my Rinnagan and used Deva path to pushed away Samehada.

It got launched to a random direction.

I came towards Kisame and activated Human path.

I just yanked him soul out very swiftly.

He couldn't do anything.

He didn't even suffer a bit.

Just like that, He was dead.

Kisame Hoshigaki, A S-rank criminal is dead.

Itachi was surprised that in one moment Kisame was alive and kicking and in other, he just went unconscious. He knew that Kisame was dead as he knew that the crazy shark won't stay still even for a second.

I just absorbed a lot Kisame's chakra and rapidly compressed it until it was size of a small ball inside my body.

I used Gunbai's bladed part to chop off Kisame's head and store it inside a seal.

I then used Amaterasu to burn off Kisame's body

I also ran towards Samehada and used Amaterasu on it too.

I don't want it to get in other people's hands.

It is a really dangerous sword.

"This is near border region between Iwa and Kumo on Kumo's side. Here is the emergency first aid kit. You can Navigate your way through, can't you? I expect that you work hard and not fail." I said as I dispelled the clones and I activated my Rinnegan and used Amenoukihashi again to teleport Konoha, where the fight was going on...

When I arrived, I deactivated my Rinnegan and saw that Gai was still there.

"Hokage-sama! Where are they?! I am ready to fight them but I couldn't find them anywhere nearby." He said with his hair standing straight.

He had at least 5th gate on.

I really need to learn this technique after I get some time.

"Itachi Uchiha was able to escape but Kisame Hoshigaki is now dead. The fight took place on Kumo and Iwa borders. I happened to learn a space-time ninjutsu and hence I teleported with them. Go inform all the Elite jonins who fought Itachi to arrive in my office as soon as possible. Bring Kakashi as soon as he wakes up. I need to break his fetters and make a sword out of it." I said as I flickered away to my office.

(After an hour of Report reading)

"Hokage-sama we are here." Gai said as he supported Kakashi in walking.

Asuma and Kurenai were there too.

"Ah finally you both are here. I was waiting for you Kakashi particularly. I need to break you fetters." I said as I smiled and walked up towards him.

"Gai hold him carefully. It will hurt a little too much if he moves." I said in a serious tone.

Gai started supporting him better.

"Asuma and Kurenai, don't move and try to do something stupid. This is important to Kakashi." I said to them in a serious tone.

I went towards Kakashi, activated my sharingan to confuse him and in the moment of confusion, I took away his Sharingan.

He screamed and wriggled hard.

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS HOKAGE-SAMA?!?!" Everyone screamed.

"Shut up for a damn minute." I said as I released some Killing intent towards everyone.

They all had very tense faces.

I healed Kakashi's wound just enough to not kill or hurt too much.

Now, I looked towards the Sharingan.

I started making a complicated fuinjutsu with a lot of words like 'Chakra', 'Control' etc. in the air, over the sharingan.

After completing the fuinjutsu, I passed some of my chakra.

"Fuin!" I said as placed the seal on the eye.

All the letters started glow with a serene green light and rushed towards sharingan.

The eyeball's color changed from Sharingan pattern to normal black eye and the sclera of the eye now had a intricate green lines in it. They were very fine but were noticable if someone came too close.

"A sharingan on a non-uchiha is just a burden. So much so that it is more of a fetter than a sword. It needs a lot of delicate fuinjutsu and studying to make it work for a non-uchiha. This month, I finally finished the study on the eye to make it work basing it on previous studies. The sharingan is now a sword, not a fetter." I said to Kakashi as all others had a shocked face.

"I didn't tell you about it because you would've declined and still would be suffering. Guilt is something that also became a chain to your growth, Kakashi. With this, your restricted growth will be unchained. Hopefully you can get more powerful and prepare yourself for future." I said as I placed his eye inside and used Medic ninjutsu and Yang chakra to heal the wound.

I also ran some yang chakra through his body to make the exhaustion go away.

He was quite better than previously.

"Here. As good as new. Try running some chakra through it." I said.

He followed and ran some chakra through it

The eye changed and transformed into a 3-tomoe sharingan.

"Push some more chakra through it." I said.

He followed and the pattern changed into a mangekyo pattern.

Everyone was surprised to see this.

Not many people knew that Mangekyo existed and Even less knew that Kakashi or rather, Obito awakened Mangekyo Sharingan.

"This cursed form is Mangekyo Sharingan. Something that grants the user their wish in the most desperate, most despairing moment of their lives. It says a lot about the person. Now that this is done, Kakashi you need to start your own training again. The sharingan will always help you now and not take any toll on you. Gai, Kurenai and Asuma, I want you all to assist Kakashi start training, if you can. This isn't an order but a request. A war will start in under a decade from my expectations. We need more power if we want to survive, let alone win." I said in a serious tone.

They had a serious face too, especially Kakashi.

He knew the real terror of war.

Losing his friends, family, love and teacher still sent chills down his spine.
