V.1-C.92│Calm Before the Storm II│

Entering his dimension, the Kamui dimension, Obito looked around the place to see if anything at all had changed. After all, gaining his very own Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan would, or should have some level of change to the whole thing.

The usual look was just a space that has some three dimensional shapes in the form of cubes and cuboids throughout this space.

As Obito entered, he looked around and noticed that everything seemed to be the same in appearance, that is until he looked into the 'sky.' Sure, this space was still a dimension made up of the basic colors of black, white and grey, but now there are some new celestial bodies, or what looks like such.

There was a sun, or what looked like to be a sun, black in color, rising from one side of this dimension, while on the other side, there is a moon, a red moon setting in the other. 'Huh...' Was all Obito thought as he observed the changes.

Obito felt a connection with which he could control this red moon and black sun, in which he could summon forth the black flames of Amaterasu and create illusions as he liked within this place. All without even having to use his Sharingan to activate such powers.

'I guess this would be useful...?' Obito thought, before his eyes travelled towards the jar that contains the eyes of Shisui Uchiha. 'I think I will look around a bit more later on, and see what else has changed, if there is anything that has...' Obito started to warp himself outside of this dimension, and returned back to the place he had gone in.

Within his home, within the Uchiha District, within Konohagakure.

The place has gone through a few renovations, specifically to increase the amount of guest bedrooms there are, since at this point, there is constantly people, many people living within.

Extending his sense, Obito pinpointed who he wanted to speak with in particular, or more like to speak with two people in particular regarding these eyes within the jar he holds. Tsunade Senju, and Mikoto Uchiha.

Tsunade almost always stays within this place, not wanting to go anywhere else, and to stave off her boredom, she has Obito 'play' with her in some gambling matches. Though, the type of gambles made didn't involve much else, other than her just wasting away and giving all of her fortune to Obito.

He is blessed by lady luck, it would seem, for he most definitely is very lucky, or could be perceived as such with his win rate. Which, at this point, is one hundred percent of the time.

Then there was Mikoto, whom has kind of, sort of retired to some extent. Obito did notice that Mikoto seemed to be keeping something from him, though he didn't think it was to be anything bad, but it did make him a little anxious.

'Yeah, I should confront her about that...' It had been about a month now since the two had officialized their relationship, though what sort of relationship they have with each other has not been said with words.

Obito first approached Tsunade, whom was within her room at this moment. Knocking on her door, Obito called out to her. "Tsunade...? Are you in there?" He asked, and waited.

"What do you want?" Tsunade came out herself, and not very appropriately dressed, though she didn't seem to care at all when in front of Obito. If anything, she seemed to want to tease him in some form or way.

Obito knows that Tsunade dislikes perverts as well, and her actions taken could place her within this title. "I wanted to talk to you, with you and Mikoto about something important." Obito replied, used to her actions by now.

"Oh...? What is so important?" Tsunade asked as she crossed her arms underneath her sizeable... chest area.

"Come with me. Let's go to Mikoto first." Obito grabbed onto Tsunade's hand, before pulling her out of the room and headed in the direction of where Mikoto is located.

"Hey!" Tsunade didn't put up much protest, though she seemed a bit flustered at having been dragged along by Obito, especially in her current state of dress.

Soon, Obito would lead Tsunade through the house and stop at another persons door, specifically a person that goes by the name of Mikoto Uchiha.

"Yes...?" Mikoto herself had opened her own door from her room, and seeing that it was Obito and Tsunade, she questioned. "Obito? Lady Tsunade? What is it?"

"I don't know. Ask him." Tsunade pointed towards Obito, whom had come here with a certain purpose.

"Obito?" Mikoto asked, her eyes gazing towards him.

"I'm here to talk about the Mangekyo..." Obito said, instantly allowing Mikoto to understand just what he was here for, though she is a little bit curious as to why Tsunade is here.

"The Mangekyo... you have... you have the eyes?" Mikoto asked, and the words she was using was confusing Tsunade whom didn't know much at all about the Mangekyo Sharingan.

"I have some eyes... though, you would be surprised to find that I no longer need some of my own." The way Obito and Mikoto were talking to each other implied that there was something about eyes?

Tsunade was confused, and it could be clearly seen on her face, though the conversation between Obito and Mikoto wouldn't be that hard to decipher. "What!? You..." Mikoto placed both of her hands, one on each of his cheeks, upon his face, and looked right into his eyes.

She seemed to be searching for something, yet couldn't find anything, while making Tsunade here feel as if she was being the third wheel here. So, of course she would open up her mouth here and speak out.

Coughing, Tsunade made sure to interrupt the two before anything else would happen. "So... what's this about eyes and some Mangekyo... something?" Tsunade questioned as Mikoto let go of Obito's face, and allowed herself to blush a little.

It wasn't all that embarrassing, though it was also considered somewhat of a display of affection. Something that she has been trying to keep secret for a bit now, especially after she did that test... "My apologies, Lady Tsunade."

"Nonsense! And stop referring to me as 'Lady Tsunade.' I get enough of that already from Shizune." Tsunade had thought she has grown comfortable enough around here to change the way honorifics are used.

It wasn't like she is an actual noble... 'Well, the Senju could be considered a noble-like clan... maybe even royalty.' Tsunade thought to herself, before continuing. "Just spill the beans all ready."

"Right... I think you should come and sit down for a bit. And Obito..." Mikoto replied to Tsunade, before she would look into Obito's eyes, seemingly come to a conclusion about something. "... We have something else to talk about as well... regarding certain things, that may even conflict with, the eye stuff."

"Ok. Whatever it is, I'm sure that we can handle it." Obito replied with a small smile to Mikoto, whom was comforted by his words, though his actions have also been a comfort in on itself.

Even if actions are more powerful, or are much stronger than words, words are still an important part of life, or more specifically for humans and other social species that uses language. Even body language could be considered another type of communication that is important.

The three gathered into Mikoto's room, one of which Obito has been in many, many times, and in much higher frequency as of late.

"Then...? What is this eye and Mangekyo thing about?" Tsunade asked as everyone settled in.

"It refers to out eyes, the Sharingan has an evolved or more advanced form known as the Mangekyo Sharingan. Most importantly, the Mangekyo Sharingan grants its users special powers and abilities, though at a cost. That cost being our sight if we use those abilities." Obito explained.

"Then there is a way to get around this weakness, which is to take the eyes of someone else, and with their Mangekyo Sharingan eyes, one can implant them into oneself. It would be much more better if it is a close family member." Mikoto added after Obito.

"Then? From the conversation before, you seem to have gotten some eyes..." Tsunade narrowed her eyes, for while she is someone that is rather uncaring about a lot of things, but that doesn't mean she would give in to negative acts so easily.

"Don't be mistaken. True, needing the eyes of another may require such methods." Obito admitted, and he actually had a very distinct feeling that Mikoto would very willingly gather some eyes herself, if not for him, then for herself.

"Then...?" Tsunade asked, prompting Obito to respond.

"I have some eyes on me." Seeing the two of them wish to say something more, he stopped them before they could. "And don't ask where I got them. It was... a donation, but trust me. I didn't kill anyone to get them." He was telling the truth as well, since he really didn't kill anyone.

Though, Shisui is very much dead. "Then how...?" Mikoto thought to those that had gone missing. "Are those... Shisui Uchiha's eyes?" Mikoto asked.

"Unfortunately, yes." Obito replied, making Mikoto cringe at the dreaded thoughts on that matter, for that child... well, was a child, much much younger than Obito. "These eyes are for you, Mikoto. Let me show you my own, in case you don't believe I have awakened the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Strangely enough, I never needed to have an implantation process." Obito added.

"Oh... so that is why you wanted to bring me along..." Tsunade finally had it click that this was the reason, her expertise in medicine should help Mikoto and Obito. However... "You don't even need me at this point. Obito, you on your own could transplant it into Mikoto, and don't even get me started as to whether or not I would participate."

"I would never ask of you to do that..." Obito replied back to Tsunade seriously, seemingly taking her current condition as something serious. Unlike how it went in his previous life, it would seem that Tsunade has not had the adequate amount of time, nor the impactful events needed for her to overcome her current flaw.

Hemophobia.

There was some silence for a bit, before Tsunade responded, maybe feeling a bit of warmth creep into her heart, as Obito seemed to care for her. Actually, it was an amount of care that was most definitely much more than what two relatively newly met people would share.

It would seem that Tsunade has either grown on Obito, or he felt the same way she did to him.

Connected in a strange manner, whatever this connection may be, or some long lost memory or memories of her brother overlapping with Obito, though not in a strange manner. One with which made her think highly of him.

Grow attached to him in a manner that is most certainly not... platonic in nature. "Then...?" Tsunade asked why she was brought into this.

"I just wanted to make sure. I'm unsure if this is possible, since there is a possibility that the implantation process may not work at all." Obito replied.

"Ok. Blood types?" Tsunade asked, referring to Mikoto and the donors eyes.

"Thankfully, both Mikoto and Shisui are both A types, meaning that it is suitable in this sense." Obito replied, having already gathered as much data he would need.

"This may be complicated, but I can help you give this a try..." Tsunade replied as she thought on this, before getting up and grabbing ahold of Obito's hand. "You don't need him, do you?" Tsunade asked Mikoto.

Looking between Tsunade and Obito, Mikoto thought for it a bit, before she nodded her head. "I just need to inform you, no, the two of you something before we go through with anything. I'm sure that this may affect whether or not we do this operation..."

"And what is that...?" Tsunade asked, and Obito felt a strange supernatural sixth sense unrelated to his chakra sensing abilities.

Mikoto knew that she would need to come clean sooner or later, so... "I'm pregnant."

"Huh...?" Was both Obito's and Tsunade's reactions at this declaration.

Uzushiogakure has gone through much hardship, and now their lands was a place full of ruins, and there didn't seem to be anyone, any village that would try and take over this land.

The main reason behind this being, probably fear of the hidden dangers on that island, large island that wasn't so much an island, but a somewhat small landmass.

Relative to everyone else, this place is a no go zone, not because the place is still defended or anything of the sort, but because this place is sort of like a zone that no village would be allowed to settled into.

No government or outside land would be able to infiltrate and make this place their own, for the sole fact that some of Uzushiogakure's defenses are still around, making it impossible to live in, in combination with the fact that no other village or land would allow anyone to go into here and set themselves up.

Especially the Land of Fire, whom is the closest in proximity relative to the Lands of Water and Lightning, where both would definitely want to set up base here.

Other things to consider are the people, the people here that still live in the Land of Whirlpools would not accept any outside government from being able to come in as well.

This place is a completely, much more isolated, land.

Much like Amegakure with its own isolationist policy against the entire world for being attacked so much. The Land of Whirlpools acts the same, even if there is no central controlled government, nor is there some uniting factor of the people there to call themselves a country.

No borders, no economy, population scattered and no military to help protect the land.

As of late, there has been some strange movement, movement of which would see the Land of Whirlpools start to recover... if only by a small margin, as communities are starting to rebuild themselves.

Only because of the mention of some Uzumaki, a descendent of the Land of Whirlpool's most prominent clans, was still alive. Outside of their lands however, but just this person being alive is enough to reignite some passion to live here on those lands.

Kushina Uzumaki has become such a topic there, that while most people don't know outside, a few at the very least, seem to consider Kushina a candidate to come back and help them recover.

Then there is supposedly some other rather strange rumors going around this Kushina Uzumaki having a partner with red eyes, whom is supposedly strong enough to help protect them.

Truly, the Land of Whirlpools was starting to have a turn around.

Though, what could or would happen is up to what happens next...
