You're Strong, But You Can't Beat Those Two

The power of the Mangekyō Sharingan is immense!

at this point...

Shisui had already sensed it before.

but.

He also felt that his current abilities were insufficient to safely use this Dōjutsu, as its use might have irreversible consequences.

so.

Deep down, he had already accepted Kyohiko's guess.

His powerful talent allowed him to awaken the Sharingan at a young age, but it also brought some hidden dangers.

The transplantation of "First" cells with Obito attached by Banrang may be intended to enhance physical condition and mitigate potential health risks.

Then, I can make up for it using the same method!

Shisui took a deep breath to calm his nerves.

"Don't be afraid. This technology is actually very mature and has been proven in the Iburi Clan. Furthermore, it can be controlled within a safe range; otherwise, we wouldn't dare to use it on humans."

Orochimaru, his voice hoarse, comforted Shisui.

Then, he licked his lips.

"Let's begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a strong wave of drowsiness wash over him, as if it were Genjutsu, but also partly the effect of the drugs.

when?

He was half-asleep when he heard—

"Where do you want to plant it? It might leave a white mark. Also, I suggest keeping it away from critical organs to avoid being too late for rescue."

"Shoulder."

Shisui responded vaguely.

Orochimaru was always willing to grant requests, and with Kyohiko by his side, he wouldn't do anything else. Shisui was quite at ease, so he fell into a deep sleep within seconds.

In the forest at night, only the chirping of insects could be heard.

Orochimaru underwent surgery, Kyohiko performed disinfection and wound healing techniques.

In fact, no magic is needed.

Although White Zetsu Cells are not as powerful as Hashirama Cells, they still have basic self-healing capabilities; once flesh and blood are implanted, they begin to heal automatically.

Kyohiko stared at the wound, his Chakra already gathered in advance, ready to seal it away at the slightest sign of movement.

Orochimaru was also extremely nervous at this moment.

Uchiha, Hashirama Cells.

This was a direction that had been speculated on but couldn't be verified before, but Obito's current condition suggests that the two could indeed merge, and it could also be done with Shisui...

Therefore, it can be basically concluded that Izanagi, and thus survived to this day.

so.

Shisui's "medical treatment" is actually related to his inner speculation and the verification of a secret.

One second, two seconds...

The white area has expanded slightly.

Orochimaru's face tightened, fearing that the area would expand further. If that happened, he would have to use Curse Mark and seals to block it off.

That would mean failure.

His expression visibly tensed up, his gaze fixed intently on Shisui's wound.

After a few seconds, the white area gradually solidified.

"Call!"

A long exhale echoed through the base.

Orochimaru glanced at him and saw Kyohiko with a half-smile.

"Orochimaru- senpai, it's rare to see you so nervous. How does it feel?"

"Hehe, after all, this is a very important study. If it succeeds, I can now be pretty sure that Madara is old and frail and has no fighting power left."

Orochimaru licked his lips, "If we could find him..."

How strong can an old man be in combat?

With Kyohiko and Minato's abilities, a surprise attack and encirclement should make it easy for them to take down the enemy!

"It will be difficult to find them. The Shinobi World is vast, and they possess the ability to hide. Unless they reveal themselves, it will be even more difficult now."

Kyohiko sat to one side.

The Shisui level has basically stabilized.

The Uchiha bloodline allows him to fuse relatively perfectly with White Zetsu Cells. With the support of White Zetsu Cells, Shisui's body should receive a significant boost.

At that time.

With the Mangekyō Sharingan and physical body forming a virtuous cycle, the possibility of bloodline diseases is basically eliminated. On the contrary, it will become stronger and stronger, and it is even possible that it will master Wood Release.

"It seems to have succeeded."

Orochimaru slowly exhaled.

He sat to the side and chuckled, "Kyohiko, you're only twelve years old, and you're already taking on disciples?"

"The Uchiha and Konoha need a liaison to ease tensions, Shisui is a good choice. His talent and background are both excellent, and he will be the future leader of the Uchiha."

Kyohiko nodded, making no attempt to conceal his intentions.

He trusted Shisui more than Itachi Uchiha.

Regardless of his original path or his present situation, Shisui has his own logic, principles, and bottom line, while Itachi doesn't seem to be someone with a bottom line, or...

His bottom line is his unborn younger brother?

In short, it's better for the Uchiha to be in Shisui's hands than to remain in the hands of Itachi Uchiha and Fugaku Uchiha.

And now.

What he needed to ensure was that nothing went wrong with Shisui!

With the Mangekyō Sharingan and cell transplantation, the problem of bloodline disease is basically nonexistent.

On the outskirts of the village, Minato Namikaze took a stroll around, originally intending to go back and check on the village's interior.

but.

Upon reaching a spot where he had sprained his ankle, he suddenly sensed a strange aura.

Following the past.

A boy stood before a pile of ruins, gazing at the collapsed houses ahead.

This used to be an old lady's home.

However, she was later attacked and killed by ninjas from Kirigakure, and in the end, she and her house were blown up and burned.

He is...

Obito Uchiha?

Minato Namikaze's eyes narrowed.

Obito Uchiha was already missing-nin!

and.

According to the intelligence he had just received, the other party infiltrated the Uchiha Clan, killed many people, and awakened a special space-time ability.

The spatial Barrier will be detected by the other party.

So--

In an instant, he burst forth from his feet, charging forward.

"Obito!"

The moment Minato's aura erupted, Black Zetsu immediately sensed something was wrong.

However.

By the time Obito realized what was happening, Minato Namikaze was already upon him.

That's terrifying.

The speed is almost instantaneous!

Without hesitation, Obito instantly activated the power of his Dōjutsu, entering a state of nothingness.

Bang!

The Rasengan struck him.

A Kunai silently appeared behind Obito.

Minato Namikaze's eyes hardened.

Although he already knew that the other party possessed space-time abilities, he did not expect that Obito could actually conceal his body between himself and another space.

Call out!

Obito flashed past, then reappeared instantly, drawing his sword and slashing at Minato Namikaze.

In his current view, Konoha and Uchiha are no different; they are all stumbling blocks on the road to peace.

They should all be swept away!

A resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

Bang!

The blade collided with the Kunai, and the next second, flames of Chakra emanated from the blade.

Uchiha Style Kenjutsu!

But.

In an instant, Minato Namikaze disappeared.

Flying Thunder God!

Whoosh!

In an instant, behind me.

Bang!

A tremendous force surged through him, Chakra flooded his body, causing it to churn like a raging sea.

pain.

It hurts so badly!

He almost thought he was going to die, but soon, wooden spikes grew from his back, forcing Minato Namikaze to withdraw his hand.

The next second, he swiftly activated his Sharingan and entered another dimension.

Minato Namikaze sensed the spatial passage that had opened instantly, and he had just left the Flying Thunder God Mark on the opponent, but unfortunately...

Obito has learned his lesson this time.

After entering the Kamui Dimension, he quickly used his eye power to close the spatial passage behind him, preventing the remaining spatial passage from being used by Minato Namikaze.

Then, Obito finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He lay prone on the floor of the Kamui Dimension, his eyes filled with despair.

Why are they all so strong?

"..."

Black Zetsu is a difficult question to answer.

Obito's Dōjutsu is incredibly powerful. Theoretically, as long as he doesn't encounter Minato Namikaze or Kyohiko Yoshimine, he could hold his own against even the Sannin.

It's highly unlikely that they would be seriously injured in a single encounter.

However.

It was just bad luck that he ran into the two toughest opponents he couldn't beat.

Fortunately, there was no danger to his life.

Although there was a significant injury to the back, it could heal by lying on the ground and recovering slowly.

I have to say--

Hashirama Senju's abilities were indeed powerful!

Black Zetsu thought to himself.

Seeing that Obito was somewhat dejected, he thought for a moment and said, "You can only beat the two of them right now, don't be so discouraged."

"Really?"

"Certainly."

Black Zetsu gave a very firm answer.

Obito remained silent.

After a long silence, he said, "I must achieve true peace! So that no one in the world will have to experience the pain of war!"

"Of course, we've always been on this path."

The Black Shadow twisted slightly.

The message he left behind became more reliable and credible through Ban's existence, and the silly boy didn't question it at all.

If it were Shisui Uchiha, he might not be so easily fooled.

Black Zetsu sighed inwardly as he thought of that brat.

Such a genius might one day awaken his Mangekyo, and then he would become their greatest threat.

This defeat may have completely pushed the Uchiha Clan to Konoha's side.

"However, at least Obito Awakening his Obito, so it was all worth it. It's just a pity that we couldn't kill Rin Nohara."

The Black Zetsu Passage.

After waiting for quite a while, Obito finally recovered and silently got up.

"I'll go to the hospital to see Grandma, and then I'll leave."

The longer he stayed in Konoha, the greater the chance he would encounter Kyohiko Yoshimine and Minato Namikaze. Moreover, he felt that apart from Rin, there was nothing left for him to miss.

And Rin Nohara...

She can't go with me.

Obito had this awareness.

He carefully created space and escaped from inside.

We're still on the edge of Konoha.

It's not too far to get to Konoha Hospital.

He arrived at Konoha Hospital without any obstacles and was able to see the person he wanted to see.

Rin Nohara, and...

Grandma has already been covered with a cloth.

Obito watched that scene through the walls and the space between them, his inner pain intensified.

He hadn't thought of it—

Was his grandmother's death related to him? Could all of this be too much of a coincidence? Could Black Zetsu's ability to control him be used on someone else...?

In Obito's mind, all he could think about was so-called hatred and peace.

certainly.

And there's Rin Nohara, seen in her eyes.

"Lin, thank you for taking care of my grandmother. I will create a completely peaceful world for you!"

Obito knew.

Judging from how Lin interacted with her grandmother, he could imagine how much Lin had helped him during this time.

If it weren't for Lin, Grandma might have passed away long ago.

A few minutes later, footsteps were heard outside, Obito immediately shrank into the wall.

The door was pushed open, Kurenai Yuhi, holding a thin blanket, pushed it open a crack, then sighed softly and came over to cover Rin with it.

Witnessing this scene, Obito Earth Style: Earth Release to leave.

Rin can live a good life in Konoha.

An hour later, Shisui slowly woke up from her sleep.

He looked around.

This is a dimly lit room.

"This is the Anbu. Do you want to go home now?"

"Teacher?"

Shisui sat up, and then his consciousness gradually returned.

I had the surgery myself...

So, it seems like a success?

He pulled aside the shirt over his shoulder and quickly saw a small white patch on it. It wasn't very noticeable; it was just a small patch that you could barely see if you weren't looking closely.

Is this a success?

Shisui was secretly surprised, and then tried to activate his Sharingan.

but--

For the time being, he seemed unable to activate that special Sharingan state.

"You can't fully control it yet, so you can't activate it stably. With more practice, you'll get better. However, based on the Second Hokage's observations and some legends within your clan, I think these eyes might have some side effects."

Kyohiko said.

Upon hearing this, Shisui was immediately lost in memories.

Tribal legends?

The only clan rumors he could recall about this matter were...

"Madara Uchiha stole his younger brother Izuna's eyes? But I've heard that's not true; the real truth seems to be that Izuna willingly handed them over to Madara."

Shisui retorted.

Kyohiko nodded. "Then, why give him your eyes?"

"This..."

Shisui couldn't answer.

Based on later developments, it's clear that Madara also possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Why take Izuna's eyes?

"Perhaps there's another reason..."

Shisui couldn't answer.

Kyohiko said, "Pupil power depletion? Or, overuse of the eyes may have eye-related side effects, and replacing the eyes can resolve these side effects."

"Families with familial Dōjutsu complications are often associated with blindness."

Shisui's expression froze abruptly.

perhaps--

The Teacher is right.

The Mangekyō Sharingan might have eye-related side effects.

"I'll be careful."

"Remember, these eyes do possess great power, but no matter what, they are only an aid, not the whole thing."

As Kyohiko spoke, he pointed with his finger, and a sapling grew below. "It's like Wood Release; in the hands of the First Hokage, it could conquer the world, but in Obito's hands, it could only be used to hurt others."

No matter how skilled you are, the ultimate limit is still determined by the person themselves.

Shisui nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"I understand, Teacher, you don't want me to become dependent on these eyes."

"Yes."

Kyohiko nodded.

Although he was only five years younger than Shisui, the gap in their strength and understanding of Ninjutsu was not simply five years.

"I will keep striving until the day I can become the Uchiha Clan Head!"

Shisui Uchiha answered firmly.

As for Hokage...

With Kyohiko around, the word "Hokage" didn't exist in his ideals; his only goal was to pass on and expand the Uchiha.

And now.

He seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
