57 Chapter 57: Go to Memorial Stone at the Middle of the Night
Tonight is destined to be a night of harvest.
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, had a night of poor quality sleep.
Hatake Kakashi received news that his dear friend Uchiha Obito was still alive.
Uchiha Obito reaped the most; he gained a powerful subordinate, Akihara Kagura, as well as the opportunity to live in the world again under his true identity.
Even Naruto, the little rascal, managed to scrounge a meal.
As for Akihara Kagura, an ordinary employee, he received a new work assignment and a newcomer's welcome package from his new superior.
[System Prompt]: [New work assignment: Assist Hatake Kakashi in gathering intelligence on the rogue ninja Uchiha Obito from Konoha, assigned by the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.]
Tasks assigned by this superior always seem to be about execution without questioning the results, yet they invariably require successful outcomes.
By comparison…
Akihara Kagura quite likes his new superior.
[System Prompt]: [You have a new superior (Uchiha Obito), reward: newcomer's welcome package, unlocking new trait 'Eye of Bond (Right)']
[Eye of Bond (Right), the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan. Despite being only the right eye, it possesses unimaginable doujutsu power for mortals!]
[System Prompt]: Initiating Mangekyō Sharingan awakening based on the host's inner will... Doujutsu awakening was successful! [Eye of Bond (Right)] has been replaced with the new trait [Mangekyō Sharingan (Right)!]
[System Prompt]: The host has collected both Eye of Bonds [Mangekyō Sharingan (Left)] and [Mangekyō Sharingan (Right)], enhancing doujutsu powers significantly. Traits combined and strengthened into the new trait [Mangekyō Sharingan]!
[Mangekyō Sharingan: Possesses strong observational, copying, and hypnotic abilities, enhances observational skills, strengthens the ability to cast and see through illusions, can copy physical techniques and non-Bloodline ninjutsu, and even hypnotize Tailed Beasts. The left eye doujutsu is Tsukuyomi, the right eye doujutsu is Kamui, the ultimate dojutsu is Susanoo!]
[Limited Tsukuyomi (A doujutsu within the Mangekyō Sharingan, when used on an enemy, it creates a new illusionary world based on the enemy's life and the host's will. The enemy's real body is drawn into the illusionary world using space-time powers. If the enemy cannot escape the fate of the illusionary world or defeat the host, they will be lost in the illusionary world forever.)]
[Limited Tsukuyomi Enhancement (With both eyes enhanced, the host can control everything in the illusionary world of Tsukuyomi and enter or leave at will using space-time powers.)]
[Limited Yomi (A doujutsu within the Mangekyō Sharingan, used by the host on themselves. After activating Yomi, all injuries suffered by the host will turn into a dream and disappear after ten minutes. Each use of Yomi consumes a significant amount of doujutsu power.)
[Limited Yomi Enhancement: With both eyes enhanced, the host can freely control the duration of Yomi, up to a maximum of ten minutes, with a three-second interval between continuous uses.)]
[Susanoo (The ultimate dojutsu of the Mangekyō Sharingan, materializes massive chakra into a formidable warrior for combat. An ultimate dojutsu that is both offensive and defensive, growing in stages with the user's doujutsu power, currently at the first stage.)]
[System Prompt]: ①To use Limited Tsukuyomi and Yomi, the host needs at least SSS-level chakra! ②Excessive use of Limited Tsukuyomi and Yomi will lead to the exhaustion of the Mangekyō Sharingan's doujutsu power and blindness! ③The Hashirama cells in the host's body will significantly reduce the doujutsu power consumption of the Mangekyō Sharingan! ④After the host's Mangekyō Sharingan advances to the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, it will greatly enhance the ultimate dojutsu Susanoo!
The Mangekyo Sharingan in both eyes possesses some strange power.
Akihara Kagura touched his own eye sockets. The technique in his left eye is a Limited Tsukuyomi, which is understandable. After receiving the blessing of both eyes, he could freely enter a certain illusionary world, meaning that he could also learn to hide in another space like his new superior, Uchiha Obito…
As for the technique in his right eye, it's the Limited Yomi…
Akihara Kagura felt that this technique, which turns the injuries one receives into a dream, seemed a bit like a forbidden technique called Izanagi? Izanagi, the ultimate forbidden technique of the Uchiha clan, can turn injuries into dreams, but the duration is not very long. After using it, one of the Sharingan will go blind…
The limited Yomi…
Shouldn't go blind…
That's also normal.
After all, both of his superiors are quite adept at using the forbidden technique Izanagi.
For example, Shimura Danzo, the old superior, is an expert in using Izanagi. Could it be that because he has always been too loyal to Shimura Danzo, his right eye awakened a technique similar to Izanagi?
"I want to see Lord Danzo now…"
Akihara Kagura sighed softly when he left the house of the Third Hokage.
"Do you want to report about Obito to Shimura Danzo?"
Hatake Kakashi felt that Akihara Kagura's idea was somewhat dangerous.
Once Shimura Danzo knew about this, that guy had always coveted the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan. There was not much he could do in the village, but now that he knows about a rogue ninja from the Uchiha clan, Shimura Danzo would definitely send someone to hunt down Uchiha Obito immediately!
"Information from the Anbu cannot be leaked casually!"
"Even if Shimura Danzo is the Hokage's advisor, it's not allowed!"
Hatake Kakashi shook his head, trying to dissuade Akihara Kagura: "Moreover, the truth about Obito hasn't been clarified yet..."
"No, I don't just want to report these…"
Akihara Kagura shook his head and sighed, "I just feel that life in the Anbu is a bit hard, and I want to return to Lord Danzo's Root…"
"The Third Hokage is unfair in his rewards and punishments. Tonight we did so much, and we can't even rest a bit, but have to continue researching with you... Initially, Lord Danzo even taught me two powerful Wood Release jutsu and rewarded me with a personal training ground!"
"..."
Hatake Kakashi fell silent for a moment.
Over the years of his career in the Anbu, Hatake Kakashi had seen many newcomers, but he had never seen anyone like Akihara Kagura. How could a member of the Anbu still be seeking treatment and rewards?
"I will report and apply to the Hokage."
Hatake Kakashi looked at the young Anbu member beside him and couldn't help asking again, "Wait... I remember, wasn't it you who actively wanted to join me in investigating Uchiha Obito?"
"Because I have to watch you..."
Akihara Kagura stated his attitude directly and spoke nonchalantly: "Lest Captain Kakashi let his past comrades go again... That guy mocked me for being extreme in my actions, but I really wanted to kill him!"
"Actually..."
You little kid, you are the most extreme...
Hatake Kakashi knew he couldn't say the second half of his thought aloud, to avoid an immediate internal conflict in their small team investigating Uchiha Obito.
"I want to go to the Memorial Stone first."
Hatake Kakashi suddenly proposed to go to the cemetery in the back mountain of Konoha.
"Let's go together, I have to watch you."
Akihara Kagura planned to follow Hatake Kakashi to see, and also suggested, "In the middle of the night, are we going to dig up Uchiha Obito's grave?"
