Nine Rings

After learning that Kakashi and Tenzo decided to serve the Uchiha clan.

"You should know that now the entire ninja world has united and assembled an army of more than 20,000 people to annihilate the Uchiha clan, right?"

Dan asked calmly.

"we know."

Both of them nodded with firm expressions.

Choosing to join the Uchiha clan at this time would undoubtedly risk your life.

"Okay, I appreciate your courage and determination, but..."

After praising the two of them, he changed the subject and said, "With all due respect, your strength is completely inadequate. Even if the two of you were put together, you might not be able to beat my nephew Uchiha Itachi."

Well.

When the two heard this, they were immediately embarrassed.

One of them is the son of White Fang, and the other is a wood escape genius. Even among the Anbu of Konoha, they are outstanding elites.

But when it comes to the Uchiha clan, it's really not enough.

Although Itachi is only twelve years old, he not only awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, but also transplanted the cells of the first Hokage, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Wooden escape, Susanoo...

Powerful abilities come one after another.

Even if Kakashi and Tenzo join forces, they may not be Itachi's opponent.

Therefore, the two of them could only say apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Dan. We will work hard and try not to hold back the Uchiha clan."

After hearing the words, Dan's eyes flashed and he smiled:

"Don't look down on yourself too much. Since you are on the Uchiha ship, let's share the power of the Uchiha clan. Come with me."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the conference room.

Sharing the power of the Uchiha clan? Does it mean...

Kakashi and Tenzo looked at each other again, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

After going out, Dan found his brother-in-law Fugaku.

"Clan leader, please arrange Sharingan transplants for these two guys. They are now following the Uchiha clan."

Dan said this.

Tenzo is the only survivor of Orochimaru's human experiment. His gene itself has been screened, and he is a one-in-a-million seedling.

With the Mokuton bloodline, he is equivalent to a member of the Senju clan. Like Tsunade, he can adapt well to the power of the Sharingan.

As for Kakashi, he has already had the experience of transplanting Sharingan, so there is no problem.

However, Kakashi is not in good health. With his pitiful amount of chakra, he can only transplant one Sharingan at most, which is the limit.

After thinking about it for a while, he took out a glass container filled with organ embalming fluid, and saw an eyeball floating in it.

It was the Byakugan he had snatched from Kirigakure's "Byakugan Killer" Ao not long ago.

This Byakugan is more pure than the hundred pairs of Byakugan given to the four great ninja villages by the Hyuga clan, because it is the Byakugan of the Hyuga main clan.

"Put it on Kakashi too."

Dan added one sentence at a time.

After Fugaku was surprised, he came back to his senses and responded solemnly: "Okay, no. It's all up to you."

At this juncture.

The Uchiha clan naturally welcomes the addition of Kakashi and Tenzo.

Since someone has provided help in times of need, the Uchiha clan should also reciprocate.

"Also, we can't wait any longer. All Uchiha ninjas, regardless of whether they have Sharingan activated or not, transplant Hashirama cells."

Dan made another suggestion.

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Transplanting Hashirama cells does not necessarily mean gaining great power. It is more likely that Hashirama cells will backfire and endanger one's own life.

If it were normal, Fugaku, Itachi and others would definitely object, thinking that Dan's suggestion was too radical and crazy.

But at this moment.

The crisis of genocide is before the Uchiha clan.

At this time, in order to win this upcoming life-and-death battle, even if he knew that transplanting Hashirama cells would take huge risks, he couldn't care less.

Feel the solemn atmosphere permeating the Uchiha clan.

Tsunade frowned, and after being silent for a while, she said:

"I can help and perform all transplant surgeries, trying to ensure that there are not too many... casualties."

Facing the tens of thousands of troops from the five major ninja villages, the Uchiha clan dared to fight head-on. Tsunade still admired the pride and courage of this clan.

Moreover, her thoughts are actually the same as Kakashi's.

Seeing Konoha being turned into a colony, Tsunade felt uncomfortable. After all, it was a village that her grandfather founded and devoted his whole life to.

For the sake of the prosperity and stability of the village, the Senju clan even went so far as to hide their names collectively and integrate their blood into the big family of Konoha.

Tsunade wanted to do something, but was unable to do anything.

At this point, only Dan and Uchiha can become the saviors of Konoha.

This is why Tsunade decided to stay and fight alongside the Uchiha clan.

"Then let's get started."

Dan said lightly.

Following his order, everyone immediately became busy.

...

In the blink of an eye, another half a month has passed.

In the room, Kakashi was lying on the bed, slowly waking up from his sleep. Because his eyes were bandaged, he could only see a dim light.

"Senior, you finally woke up, are you ready?" Tenzo's voice rang in his ears.

 "Hm."

Kakashi nodded, then raised his hands and personally removed the bandage from his eyes.

After gradually adapting to the light in the room, he slowly opened his eyes and was able to see the light again.

Tenzo brought a mirror.

From the mirror, you can see that Kakashi is no longer a one-eyed dragon. A scarlet three-magatama Sharingan is quietly embedded in his left eye socket.

This means that the once famous copy ninja Kakashi is back.

In addition, Kakashi's right eye has also undergone obvious changes, from the original black pupil to a white pupil. At first glance, it looks like the pupil has disappeared.

Kakashi's heart moved, and he started to move the chakra in his body.

Byakugan, open!

A large number of blue veins suddenly appeared around his right eye, and his entire eye turned blue and white.

Kakashi raised a hand, covered his left eye, and observed the world from the perspective of his right eye.

The Tenzo in front of him seemed to be transparent, and the chakra route in his body was clearly exposed to Kakashi's field of vision.

In addition, his eyesight suddenly became very good, and he could even see the dust in the corner of the room clearly.

What's even more amazing is that although Kakashi only used one eye, his front, back, left, right, and every corner of the room were captured by his sight.

Even right behind the brain is no exception.

Perspective, microscopic vision, and 360° vision are all abilities of the Byakugan.

Kakashi soon discovered that, unlike the Sharingan, the side effects of transplanting the Byakugan were significantly less.

Even he can afford the chakra consumption of the Byakugan.

​He doesn't know.

In the final analysis, it is because the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan has degenerated. Compared with the Byakugan of the Otsutsuki clan, they only have the same name, but are actually not on the same level at all.

As a member of the Sage bloodline, the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan retains more power and can even evolve to the level of the Rinnegan.

Therefore, the Sharingan is difficult for outsiders to control.

"Senior, from today on, in addition to copying the title of Ninja, I'm afraid you will also have the title of Byakugan Killer."

When Tenzo saw this scene, he laughed and teased.

Kakashi is the first person in history to have both the Sharingan and the Byakugan transplanted.

With the help of these two eyes, his abilities in detection, tracking, combat and other aspects can be said to be complete, without any shortcomings.

"What about you, have you completed the transplant successfully?"

Faced with Tenzo's teasing, Kakashi asked with some confusion, because he noticed that Tenzo's eyes did not seem to change.

"Haha, I have adapted to it."

Tenzo smiled and touched the back of his head. His eyes suddenly turned into scarlet three-magatama, then faded away and returned to normal.

​Obviously, like the Uchiha people, he can also switch the Sharingan on and off freely.

Is it because of the wood escape cells?

This guy Tenzo is indeed the chosen one.

Kakashi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and he was also a little envious.

"By the way, Master Dan has called us to a meeting, saying that he want to discuss combat strategies. Senior, hurry up and get over."

Tenzo remembered the business and reminded Kakashi.

So.

The two of them walked out of the door and hurried to the conference room.

When passing by the training ground, Kakashi's attention was attracted by the Uchiha tribesmen who were preparing for battle.

"!!!"

Uchiha Izumi shouted, and after forming the seal, two solid wooden bars flew out from behind her and headed straight for Uchiha Yashiro on the opposite side.

Wood escape: the technique of silent killing and binding.

Yashiro's eyes narrowed, and he also responded with Wood Release. After forming the seal, he slapped his palm to the ground.

Boom.

A row of wooden pillars emerged from the ground and curved upward to form an arch wall, protecting Yashiro and blocking Izumi's attack.

Wood escape·Wooden spindle wall.

Seeing this scene, Kakashi was surprised, and then asked Tenzo next to him:

"Have all Uchiha ninjas completed the transplantation of Hashirama cells?"

Tenzo nodded and explained.

​In the past half month.

A total of 150 combatants in the Uchiha clan, including those with and without eyesight, had all undergone Hashirama cell transplantation.

The final success rate was two-thirds, which meant that a hundred people adapted to Hashirama Cells and gained the power of Wood Release.

"Then...where are the remaining people?" Kakashi asked.

Tenzo was silent for a moment, and finally said: "They are all dead."

Kakashi was shocked and his pupils shrank.

Since Uchiha and Senju have the same ancestor, the Uchiha clan has a strong adaptability to Hashirama cells, and Tsunade, a medical master, personally performed the transplant surgery.

Under such circumstances, a full fifty people died.

​That is to say.

Before the war officially started, the combatants of the Uchiha clan had been reduced by one-third.

Fortunately, for paying such a high price, the rewards are considerable.

For ordinary people, after successfully transplanting Hashirama cells, they will only gain the ability of wood escape.

For the Uchiha clan, the most precious thing is the resilience of Hashirama cells, which allows them to use the Sharingan more heartily without worrying about exhaustion of the eye power.

As a result, although the Uchiha clan has been reduced by one-third, its overall strength has become more than three times stronger than before.

Facing such an Uchiha clan, if the Ninja Alliance forces are careless and underestimate the enemy, they may be in for a big surprise.

Soon.

The two came to the conference room.

Dan, Samui, Fugaku, Tsunade, Tetsubi, Itachi, and Chisuko were all waiting inside.

"Sorry, we're late."

Kakashi and Tenzo bowed and quickly found seats to sit down.

Everyone has arrived and the meeting has begun.

"The Uchiha clan is ready. Under the current circumstances, we must not sit back and wait for death. We must take the initiative to attack, at least to find out the general situation of the enemy."

Fugaku was the first to speak and put forward his own opinion.

Hearing this, everyone nodded: "The patriarch is right."

"I agree."

Dan also agreed, and based on this, further put forward his own opinion, "I think Akatsuki's model is very good and worth learning from."

Akatsuki?

Is it the extinct Akatsuki organization?

"Dan, what do you mean..." Fugaku looked puzzled.

Faced with the curious eyes of everyone, he gave an explanation:

"The core members of Akatsuki are all very powerful. They all work in pairs. They can take care of each other and are highly mobile. It is the most efficient model. We can definitely follow suit."

"Well, that makes sense."

Everyone was thoughtful.

Dan glanced at Samui, who immediately stood up and brought a plate with nine rings quietly placed in it.

"Go on."

Dan picked up one of the rings and threw it to his nephew Uchiha Itachi.

Itachi stretched out his hand to catch it, and after a closer look, he found that it was an exquisite red ring with a black word "Suzaku" written on it.

What does it mean?

Itachi looked at his uncle with doubtful eyes.

Samui followed Dan's instructions and spoke calmly, answering Itachi's confusion.

Suzaku, representing the red bird, is the phoenix.

Itachi has shown an astonishing talent for fire escape since he was a child. He only watched Fugaku's demonstration of the fire ball technique once and learned it on the spot.

Therefore, Suzaku, which represents the flame, is his code name.

"Suzaku..."

After listening to Samui's explanation, Itachi murmured to himself and accepted his code name.

Then, he put the ring on the ring finger of his right hand.

"Give the rings to everyone."

Dan gave Samyi another instruction.

The ring Fugaku got was codenamed "Gen."

Gen is the mythical beast Genbu.

It is said that the power of Genbu can predict the future, and its back armor is the best tool for divination, which is very consistent with the ability of Fugaku's kaleidoscope eye technique "Amabie".

The codename of Iron Fire is "Tian".

Tian, that is, Jiutian, is a mighty god with a dynamic nature.

Jiutian of weapon, fighting and killing, corresponds to Tetsubi's Kaleidoscope Eye Technique "Dynamic Prescription".

Chisuko's code name is "Di".

Earth, that is, Prthivi, is the god of firmness, soft and quiet.

Prthivi are where troops can be stationed and defended, corresponding to Chihideko's kaleidoscope eye technique "Ama Iwato".

Kakashi and Tenzo also got their own rings.

Kakashi's codename is "Lin", which is Qilin, a divine beast with the attribute of thunder, which corresponds to the thunder escape ninjutsu he is good at.

And Tenzo's code name is "Qing", which means Qinglong. The green dragon belongs to wood, which represents endless vitality and corresponds to Tenzou's Wood Release Ninjutsu.

"Here, this is yours."

Dan personally picked up a ring and handed it to Tsunade.

It was an orange ring with a black word "Nan" printed on it.

Nan represents life and symbolizes immortality.

In the Akatsuki organization, the one wearing this ring is Kisame Hoshigaki, known as the tailless beast. That guy's vitality is indeed strong and difficult to kill.

However, compared to Tsunade's vitality, Kisame can only be regarded as a younger brother.

This woman is still young at seventy or eighty years old. She can survive even being cut in half.

So she is very suitable for the codename "Nan".

"Boring."

Tsunade looked disdainful, feeling like she was playing a child's house game.

With that said, she still accepted the ring. After all, it was made of gemstones and was worth a lot of money at first glance.

After looking at it for a few times, Tsunade put the ring on her right index finger.

Then, Dan picked up the ring that belonged to him from the plate.

Codenamed "Bei".

If Nan governs life, then Bei governs death, which means killing, destruction, crusade, destruction and death.

Dan and Tsunade are completely opposite to each other.

The next step is grouping.

This is quite simple.

First of all, Fugaku and Itachi form a father-son team, with the young Suzaku teaming up with the mature Genbu.

Next is Kakashi and Tenzo. They are old partners who work well together. There is no need to replace them. Qinglong and Qilin walk together.

Then it was Tetsubi and Chisuko's turn, one focusing on offense and the other on defense, a combination of heaven and earth.

Finally, Dan and Tsunade, Nan and Beidou merged to form the strongest combat power among the four groups.

For such a grouping, everyone has different reactions.

Fugaku, his son, and Kakashi naturally had no objections and accepted it readily.

Tetsubi glanced at Chisuko and said nothing.

He is taciturn and has always obeyed the family's arrangements, dedicated himself to Uchiha and never complained.

Chisuko, on the other hand, lowered her head and muttered as usual, seemingly dissatisfied, but was ignored.

In comparison, Tsunade's reaction was the biggest.

"Why should I be paired with a guy like you?"

She stared at Dan with wide eyes and crossed her arms to show resistance.

"Because you have only one mission, which is to treat me as soon as possible when I am injured or poisoned, so that I can maintain my best condition."

Dan said calmly, the implication is that Tsunade is a medic.

"..."

Tsunade was naturally very angry, but when she calmed down and thought about it, Dan was indeed the strongest combat force in her own camp.

As long as this man does not fall, the five great ninja villages will not be able to completely eliminate the Uchiha clan.

So she finally endured it and reluctantly agreed to be Dan's partner for the time being and act together with him.

Dan looked at the plate, and there was still the last ring left, with the word "Gyoku" engraved on it.

Gyoku means jade and represents inner innocence.

It is the ring left for Shisui.

However, that guy was already dead, even though he had obtained the Book of Sealing, which recorded the technique of Edo Tensei developed by the Second Hokage.

But to master the Edo Tensei, it will take at least a year and a half.

In other words, Shisui will have to stay in the Pure Land for a while, and he may not be able to be resurrected in the short term.
