Kagami's Eyes!

Kagami's Eyes!

The Third's eye twitched.

How did this old man look on the outside?

Though this old man was old now, he had once been one of Konoha's famed handsome men.

Why had Teacher Tobirama chosen me?

Being handsome was one reason!

Danzo and the like could not compare to this old man at all!

The Third's face turned green, his expression hostile.

He suddenly recalled a saying that circulated through Konoha: when others leaped about, they were practicing Taijutsu; when the Third leaped about, he was imitating a monkey!

The Second Hokage had said so himself. He had even affectionately called the Third "Monkey."

"Like back then, when Lord Danzo ran after me for three miles, naked and carrying a knife, and I managed to escape."

He sighed and said, "Kazuki, I know you must be feeling terrible..."

"What?" Setsuna retorted. "Sōgi, you don't want to transplant eyes for Kazuki?"

Every time he faced Kazuki, he felt as though he were facing a hedgehog. There was nowhere to start!

The hospital room fell completely silent.

Was this about money?

Yet Kazuki shattered the Hokage's indifference with one simple sentence.

Unexpectedly, it was not Fugaku who answered Kazuki, but Setsuna.

"..."

Setsuna merely sneered. "Even if the eyes in your hands belonged to Kazuki's father, Kazuki might not choose them."

At least come up with a decent excuse?

The Uchiha had always placed bloodline first.

Facing the doubtful gazes around him, Sōgi remained remarkably calm.

"Oh, I see!" Kazuki said awkwardly. "The main thing is, someone came to me in a dream a few days ago."

Sōgi snorted coldly and said nothing.

That was for certain!

"Hmph!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Go on. What do you want?" The Third's voice carried a hint of indifference.

The Sharingan!

Everyone present instantly understood Kazuki's intention.

"...You lost your eyes."

You should have said: Lord Hokage, are you still alive?

So, he said directly, "I also have a pair of eyes here. I can give them to Kazuki."

It was just that my own feelings were not nearly as pleasant.

"Fine!"

These eyes had been given by Setsuna of the Hawk Faction. It always felt as if he had ulterior motives.

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

The Will of Fire in that child could be felt from far away.

Someone came to you in a dream, and you decided Kagami Uchiha's eyes were in my hands?

Did Hashirama Senju come to you in that dream?

But!

As for whether the Uchiha had spare Sharingan... they absolutely did!

Everyone fell silent, then filed out of the hospital room in an orderly manner.

"Heh heh!" A cold smile appeared on Setsuna's face. He slowly walked over to Kazuki and whispered something in his ear.

Kazuki's expression could not help becoming strange.

Everyone present fell silent.

Kagami Uchiha's Sharingan were undoubtedly an exceptionally powerful pair of eyes.

Sōgi looked displeased.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eye twitched.

No one would believe that the Uchiha leadership had not secretly collected their clansmen's eyes.

Forget it!

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "..."

Since the Mangekyo was gone, he could transplant an ordinary pair of Sharingan. He could not stay blind forever, could he?

"Speak, Kazuki!"

After a long while.

A transplant?

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

Why would you think in that direction?

Could you be normal for once?

I'm an old friend of Kagami's. I watched your father grow up. Is that how sinister you think I am?

Sōgi hurriedly explained, "Kazuki's parents died in the Third Shinobi World War. I happened to be their captain at the time. Before he died, he asked me to remove his Sharingan and give them to Kazuki and Shisui once they came of age, or if they were ever in danger."

"Without it, I actually feel lighter all over."

"Why would I feel terrible?" Kazuki asked in surprise. "I feel pretty good, actually!"

He felt that he had discovered the truth.

"How could that be? If you died, I would definitely be very sad."

"I'll pay more!"

That old man, whose gloomy aura was not much weaker than Danzo's, revealed a sinister smile. "I happen to have an excellent pair of Three Tomoe Sharingan. Kazuki, I'll give them to you."

Hypocrite!

"What did you say?"

"Not for me!" Kazuki corrected him. "My eyes have already been arranged. Shisui is the one who needs eyes now."

Sōgi's mouth twitched.

Looking at Kazuki, he added;

"Compared to the eyes in Setsuna's hands, I think Kazuki would prefer mine, because mine are the eyes of your father, who died in battle!"

Sōgi shouted in a low voice.

He truly did not want to give them to Kazuki, but if it was Shisui instead, perhaps it was not impossible to consider.

Kazuki repeatedly shook his head. "Lord Hokage, you have to believe me. The Mangekyo really isn't a good thing. It's the source of calamity."

They already had a vague guess in their hearts.

The Sharingan was the Uchiha's core power.

How could my father's eyes be with you?

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

"Let's discuss this later!" Kazuki paused, then said, "Lord Hokage, can I speak with you alone for a few moments?"

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

Even without proof, people would instinctively believe the eyes of a blood relative were better.

"Setsuna, what are you trying to do?"

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

The Uchiha Eye Gift!

An open secret.

The Third roared, "How could I possibly have Kagami's eyes? Kagami was my companion, the person my teacher Tobirama Senju thought most highly of, the inheritor of the Will of Fire. He died for Konoha on the battlefield, and his body was never found. Where would I get his eyes?"

Only two people remained in the room.

The hospital room fell silent once more.

He had already prepared himself for the other side to make an outrageous demand.

Therefore, Sōgi's words did not arouse suspicion.

Upon hearing this, even Uchiha Yishū could not help freezing.

Hiruzen Sarutobi fell silent.

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

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

Then you really do feel pretty good.

"Yes!" Kazuki sighed. "I dreamed of Lord Tobirama Senju. The Second Hokage told me that the eye Danzo kept wrapped in bandages was Kagami Uchiha's Sharingan!"

"You killed my father?"

Yet one sentence from Kazuki made him completely crack.

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

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

A transplant?

Kazuki said faintly, "My eyes are gone. I wonder if the clan can transplant a new pair into me?"

"...Not even for more money!"

The Third smiled coldly.

"A dream?" Hiruzen Sarutobi nearly laughed in anger.

Eyes?

And besides!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression shifted, and the balance in his heart tilted once again.

He knew who had spread the rumor.

Everyone present was part of Konoha's upper ranks. They knew very well that several Uchiha Forbidden Jutsu required sacrificing eyes.

"Clan Head Fugaku!"

His mouth was clearly stretched into a grin that nearly reached the back of his head.

Damn Danzo!

Kagami's eyes had better not be with you. Otherwise, you would have a lot of explaining to do.

A flash of viciousness passed through Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.
