Chapter 14: Kagami Eyes!

Chapter 14: The Mirror's Eyes!

The Third Hokage's eyes twitched.

What's wrong with my appearance?

Although I'm old now, I used to be a handsome man, famous throughout Konoha.

Why did Teacher Tobirama choose me?

Being handsome was one of the reasons!

Danzo and the others couldn't compare to me at all!

The Third Hokage's face turned pale, his expression grim.

He suddenly remembered a saying circulating in Konoha: Others jump around to practice taijutsu, the Third Hokage jumps around to imitate a monkey!

As evidenced by the Second Hokage's words, he even affectionately called the Third Hokage "monkey."

He felt like he had discovered the truth.

He knew who spread the rumor.

"Clan Leader Fugaku!"

"You speak, Itsuki!"

Itsuki said faintly, "My eyes are gone, I wonder if the clan can transplant a new pair of eyes for me?"

Eyes?

Transplant?

Sharingan!

The people present instantly understood Itsuki's plan.

Since the Mangekyo Sharingan was gone, he would transplant a pair of ordinary Sharingan, he couldn't stay blind forever.

As for whether there were spare Sharingan... The Uchiha clan definitely had them!

The Sharingan was the core strength of the Uchiha.

No one would believe that the Uchiha higher-ups hadn't secretly collected the eyes of their clan members.

The people present were all high-ranking officials of Konoha, they knew very well that several of the Uchiha's forbidden techniques required sacrificing eyes.

So, wasn't it normal to have a few spare eyes?

"Yes!"

Unexpectedly, it wasn't Fugaku who answered Itsuki, but Setsuna.

This old man, whose cold aura was no less than Danzo's, revealed a sinister smile and said, "I happen to have a good pair of three-tomoe Sharingan, Itsuki, I'll give them to you."

The ward fell silent again.

"Setsuna, what are you trying to do?"

Homura's gaze was unkind.

"What?" Setsuna retorted, "Homura, you don't want to transplant eyes for Itsuki?"

"Hmph!"

Homura snorted coldly and didn't say anything.

Transplant?

That was for sure!

Even without the Mangekyo Sharingan, Itsuki was still a genius ninja, a pair of ordinary Sharingan was enough for him to become one of the few powerful elite jonin.

But!

This pair of eyes was given by Setsuna of the hawks, it always made people feel that he had ulterior motives.

So, he directly said, "I also have a pair of eyes here, I'll give them to Itsuki."

Looking at Itsuki, he added, "Compared to the eyes in Setsuna's hands, I think Itsuki would want mine more, because mine are the eyes of your deceased father!"

Hearing this, even Uchiha Itsuki couldn't help but be stunned.

My father's eyes, how could they be with you?

Damn it, you touched my father's body!?

Facing the questioning gazes around him, Homura's expression remained calm.

However, Itsuki's words made him crack.

"You killed my father?"

Homura's mouth twitched.

Why would you think in that direction?

Can't you be normal?

I was an old friend of Kagami, I watched your father grow up, in your eyes, am I that sinister?

Homura quickly explained, "Itsuki's parents died in the Third Shinobi World War, at that time, I happened to be their captain, before dying, he hoped that I would take his Sharingan and give it to Itsuki and Shisui when they became adults, or when they were in danger."

Everyone present fell silent.

Uchiha gifting eyes!

An open secret.

The Sharingan had a wide range of uses, many jonin, if possible, would have their eyes removed before dying and leave them to the clan or their children.

Therefore, Homura's words were not questioned.

Setsuna sneered and said, "Even if the eyes in your hands belong to Itsuki's father, Itsuki may not choose them."

"What do you mean by that?"

Homura shouted.

Even without evidence, people would subconsciously think that the eyes of blood relatives were better.

The Uchiha were based on bloodline.

"Hehe!" Setsuna sneered, walked slowly to Itsuki, and whispered something in his ear.

Itsuki's expression couldn't help but become strange.

"Let's talk about this later!" Itsuki paused and said, "Lord Hokage, can I have a few words with you alone?"

Everyone fell silent, then left the ward in an orderly manner.

They already had a vague guess in their hearts.

Only two people were left in the room.

"Speak, what do you want?" The Third Hokage's words carried a hint of indifference.

He was already prepared for the other party to make exorbitant demands.

However, Itsuki broke the Hokage's indifference with a simple sentence.

"I want Kagami's eyes, Uchiha Kagami's!"

"What did you say?"

The Third Hokage shouted angrily, "How could I possibly have Kagami's eyes? Kagami was my comrade, the person my teacher Senju Tobirama valued the most, the inheritor of the Will of Fire, he died for Konoha on the battlefield, his body missing, where would I find his eyes?"

"I'll add money!"

"... No amount of money will do!"

Was this about money?

"Is that so?" Itsuki said in a troubled tone, "The main thing is, a few days ago, someone gave me a dream."

"A dream?" Sarutobi Hiruzen almost laughed out of anger.

At least find a decent excuse?

Someone gave you a dream, so you're sure that Uchiha Kagami's eyes are in my hands?

Did Senju Hashirama give you the dream?

"Yes!" Itsuki sighed, "I dreamed of Lord Tobirama, the Second Hokage told me that the eye Danzo covers with a bandage is Uchiha Kagami's Sharingan!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "..."

He sighed and said, "Itsuki, I know you're feeling bad..."

"Why would I feel bad?" Itsuki asked in surprise, "I feel pretty good!"

"If I weren't injured, I'd even get up and dance for you."

"...You lost your eyes."

Itsuki shook his head repeatedly and said, "Lord Hokage, you have to believe me, the Mangekyo Sharingan is really not a good thing, it's the source of disaster."

"Losing it, I feel relieved."

"Just like back then, when Lord Danzo chased me for three miles naked with a knife, and I successfully escaped."

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen fell silent.

Then you must feel really good.

But my feeling isn't so great.

Every time he faced Itsuki, he felt like he was facing a hedgehog, unable to find a place to start!

The ward fell completely silent.

After a long time.

Itsuki carefully asked, "Lord Hokage, are you still alive?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes twitched.

You should say: Lord Hokage, are you still there?

Forget it!

Sarutobi Hiruzen said faintly, "I'm still alive, are you disappointed?"

"How is that possible? If you were dead, I would definitely be very sad."

The Third Hokage smiled coldly.

Hypocrite!

His smile was so wide it almost reached the back of his head.

"I will ask Danzo, if Kagami's eyes are in his hands, I will give them to you."

"Not to me!" Itsuki corrected, "My eyes are ready, it's Shisui who needs eyes now."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed slightly, and the scales in his heart tipped again.

Uchiha Kagami's Sharingan was undoubtedly a very powerful pair of eyes.

He was really unwilling to give them to Itsuki, but if it was for Shisui, it seemed... not impossible to consider.

That child's Will of Fire could be felt from afar.

And!

Damn Danzo!

It's best if Kagami's eyes aren't with you, otherwise, you'll have to explain yourself to me.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.
