Chapter 121

On the question of whether Hiruzen Sarutobi was right or wrong, Kaito had already said enough that there was no need to continue.

Shisui, too, needed time to digest what Kaito had said. Although Kaito had always emphasized the need to look at problems from various angles, now Kaito has provided an even more comprehensive and multi-perspective way of looking at and thinking about problems from different standpoints.

And this is enough for Shisui to ponder for a while, especially when he remembered Kaito's phrase, 'The world is not black and white, but a delicate grey.'

Although this phrase gave Shisui's thinking a bit of a shock, he had already become the vice chief of the Uchiha clan.

He has some resilience in this regard, and after Kaito broadened his horizons through teaching by word and deed, his acceptance has become stronger and stronger.

While his beliefs have not changed, his logical thinking has become more comprehensive, and this change is very pleasing.

"After all, this is an Uchiha. If I can change an Uchiha, would I be afraid of other lunatics?"

Kaito felt that if he could go back, he might not need to mix in the workplace anymore and could directly work in a mental hospital.

But this is just his wishful thinking. In fact, the madness of the Uchihas is just that their emotional expressions are too extreme.

Either love completely or hate decisively, and at the same time, they value physical strength.

If you can persuade them physically and psychologically, they will definitely show you the greatest goodwill.

No matter what you say, they will listen carefully, even think about it seriously!

Back at the clan, Kaito asked Shisui to pass on the matter with Hyuga and the elders to Fugaku, and then he went home to rest.

The Hyuga wouldn't come over so quickly. After all, Hyuga himself needed to choose carefully, and after choosing, he needed to explain things to the person.

It would take at least half a month to a month to sort this out.

But Kaito doesn't mind, Hyuga's joining will certainly bring positive effects to the security department, but the most crucial is the transformation of the security department itself.

Only when the security department improves itself will there be a fundamental change.

[Current Binding: Uchiha Clan]

[Current Status: Relative Balance——You have solved the clan's internal problems and eliminated one of the external enemies, but the development of the clan is multifaceted, and there are still villains]

[Prosperity: 16350 (The basic prosperity of a normal clan is 10000)]

[Suggestion: Make appropriate modifications to the clan, let the clan truly integrate into Konoha, and let the clan develop better]

Opening his system panel casually, Kaito took a good look at his current system information.

Although he was mentally prepared, seeing this prosperity level, he couldn't help but sigh, indeed, when he wasn't doing big things, his points were too few.

The last time he looked, it was 15570, a very subtle number, which reminded Kaito of a certain world record time.

However, so much time has passed and it hasn't even risen to a thousand, which is quite frustrating.

But Kaito's mindset is very good. After feeling frustrated, he quickly adjusted his emotions.

He clearly understood that during this period, the Uchiha and the security department are keeping a low profile, and aside from reforms, the most significant thing was probably injecting the Senju Hashirama cells into Shisui and Fugaku.

Kaito isn't sure if these nearly thousand points he's accumulated were due to the reforms, or due to injecting the cells into the two men.

But overall, he is getting closer and closer to the points needed for his next draw!

"This is good news, but unfortunately I still need more time."

Kaito quietly closed his system panel, although he sighed inwardly.

Reforms still need time, achieving the results of the reforms also needs time, and even the transformation of Shisui and Fugaku also needs time!

Shisui and Fugaku's bodies are still adapting to the energy produced by the Senju Hashirama cells, which leaves him slightly bewildered.

Although it took Obito several months to let his body adapt and accept this power, the problem is, Obito had half his body transplanted!

Shisui and Fugaku only refined some cells, which is far behind compared to Obito.

This made Kaito think that if Obito hadn't turned to the dark side, wouldn't he really be the true lead character?

Thinking about it carefully, Obito's life circumstances do indeed seem to qualify him as a lead character.

His team and the future Team 7 are not just similar, they are exactly the same.

A genius aloof male, paired with a medical female ninja who is part of a 'he likes her she likes him' situation, plus a dummy who always comes last, this is precisely Team 7!

The only difference between Minato's team and Team 7 is that the aloof male was persuaded on the edge of turning to the dark side, while the one who always comes last fell into the abyss after awakening.

Perhaps, in some sense, Obito is a dark Naruto.

And Kakashi became a person who lives for others, which is quite similar to Sasuke.

"What similar destinies, but with such helpless outcomes."

Shaking his head lightly, Kaito didn't feel like thinking about Obito anymore. Even though he might be the potential lead character, this is only in the original story.

The cruelty of reality can't compare to the cheerful atmosphere in the original. The cheerfulness in the original is only due to policy influences.

In wartime, missions are above everything else. In Naruto's era, everything has turned into an age dominated by 'bonds'.

"Forget it, why think so much about it. Rather than pondering these things, I might as well think about how to improve myself."

Shaking his head, Kaito stopped thinking about these things. Since he can't rely on others, and the system hasn't 'paid a salary', then Kaito can only think of ways himself.

Although Kaito has a lot of room for growth in terms of power, since owning the Mangekyou Sharingan, his chakra has been growing rapidly.

And after experiencing the baptism of the 'Dark Scythe', his physical condition has also begun to improve.

Pairing two and two together, his eyes had also seen gradual enhancement, but when he would reach a satisfying stage was unclear.

However, he wasn't devoid of means to augment his own power, and undoubtedly, the worthiest subject of study was Susano'o!

As of now, Kaito had reached the second stage of Susano'o, relying on the power of the Reverse Path.

If he were to confront a run-of-the-mill adversary, this state would be entirely sufficient. But against a more formidable opponent, things were less certain.

After all, he was very clear on what the future would be like, an intense battle among demigods. Even in that future, Susano'o would undoubtedly remain one of the most vital means of survival.

"Previously, to protect my eyes, even though I was aware that Reverse Path could lower the difficulty of using Susano'o, and to some extent reduce consumption, I dared not overuse it. Until now, it remains in the second stage, even though I have developed the weapon for it. Alas, I lack the protagonist's luck."

Kaito's Susano'o reached the second stage quite early. This was the reason he could challenge Sarutobi Hiruzen back then.

However, the difficulty of enhancing Susano'o is substantial. On one hand, there's the issue of consumption. To put it bluntly, the Mangekyou Sharingan can hardly bear such strain.

On the other hand, this technique requires an extremely high level of proficiency to steadily open the subsequent stages step by step.

Do not envy the original Shisui who could initiate Susano'o with a single eye. He was already adept at this technique, and he was desperate at the time.

Already desperate, who would care about the consumption of their eyes?

The only one who truly integrated Susano'o into himself was Uchiha Madara.

Uchiha Madara could directly use the mature fourth stage of Susano'o, even without depending on his eyes.

Estimating for himself, Kaito believed that the limit for Mangekyou Sharingan to open Susano'o was probably the third stage - the state of having armor and weapons without legs.

One could only imagine how terrifying the gap was.

"My goal now is the third stage. After all, my condition, physical fitness, eyes, and my chakra can all support me in this endeavor.

Since this is the case, I have to give it a good try. I hope there won't be any problems."

Thinking this, Kaito instantly moved to his rear. He didn't choose to move too far mainly because he wasn't particularly confident.

And this was just an attempt, an opportunity to summarize experience after trying once. Failure would be slightly disappointing, but generally speaking, it wouldn't matter much.

His eyes closed slightly and when they opened again, they had become a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan.

Along with the spinning pattern of the Mangekyou, a chakra full of destructive power emerged from his body!

Chakra quickly gathered, and in an instant, the phantom of a skeleton appeared beside him, soon solidifying.

A ray of light rose from him, and the hollow body of the skeleton was filled with chakra, quickly forming the shape of a giant.

Kaito's actions immediately caught the attention of the Uchiha clansmen living nearby. Although Kaito had become the clan head, he hadn't moved his residence yet.

Having lived here for so many years, Kaito had become accustomed to it, and therefore he had never made any requests.

Moreover, he himself thought that living close to these clansmen enabled him to better understand the actual situation of the clan.

Therefore, he didn't take it to heart when these clansmen came out to observe him. After all, they didn't pose any threat as long as they didn't approach.

Taking a deep breath, the spinning speed of Kaito's left eye began to accelerate, and the chakra within his body erupted wildly at this moment.

The power, filled with destruction and despair, instantly spread outwards, and everyone in the clan felt this terrifying aura.

The body of the Susano'o began to grow rapidly, doubling its size within a few breaths!

However, at this moment, the aura of Susano'o became chaotic, and even the chakra on his body began to fluctuate.

But Kaito continued to forcefully suppress it. He did not end it all. He felt that he hadn't reached his limit yet.

"Steady!"

When the chakra gathered to an extreme point, Kaito suddenly shouted. The rapidly coalescing chakra on Susano'o's body instantly solidified.

An armor appeared with the solidifying chakra quietly covering it, then fully enveloping it.

A helmet with the visage of the dark tengu, bearing a long nose, was placed on his head, and a slender sword quietly rested in its scabbard, hanging behind him.

At this moment, the face of Susano'o was incredibly clear, as if it was a terrifying and ferocious Rakshasa statue in a temple, instilling fear in anyone who looked upon it.

"Boom!"

When Susano'o was completely solidified, suddenly, a terrifying wave of energy swiftly swept around.

The earth trembled at this moment, and the surrounding houses began to collapse under such vibrations and the onslaught of energy!
