Feng and Kabuto: A Conversation Before the Konoha Crush

Because his foster mother, the Yakushi Nonō, is still alive and well under Feng's command, he is now merely someone Feng has exchanged for to learn from Orochimaru. He is not Orochimaru's trusted subordinate, and he will soon leave Orochimaru to return to Nonō's side.

Therefore, Yakushi Kabuto in this world doesn't care much about Orochimaru's future or his various attempts to manipulate him, and his bond and affection with Orochimaru are naturally very shallow.

This also meant that he wasn't as highly regarded by Orochimaru as he was in the original story, and similarly, Orochimaru wouldn't let Kabuto handle many of his secret matters.

Without Orochimaru's troubles, Kabuto himself was also quite cautious.

This means that Kabuto is still outwardly Konoha Ninja and his identity as a spy has not been exposed.

Currently, Konoha Ninja can save him a lot of trouble and allow him to continue obtaining a lot of intelligence.

"My lord, I have finished reporting the intelligence on Konoha. To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, I shall take my leave now."

So after chatting for a good part of the night and saying everything that needed to be said, Kabuto, who still wanted to maintain his identity Konoha Ninja, got up and prepared to leave.

But Feng did not let the other party leave:

"Dou, wait a minute, I just suddenly thought of a question that I need your help with."

"Sir, please speak."

"Yes, as you just mentioned, the success rates of Uchiha with different Tomoe Sharingan fusions with White Zetsu Cells are 50%, 70%, 90%, and 100% respectively."

Theoretically, the success rate of Uchiha with the Mangekyō Sharingan fusing with White Zetsu Cells is 100%.

So, I have a question: When you say you possess Mangekyō, is it Mangekyō that you must awaken yourself, or can you use Mangekyō transplanted from someone else to help you?

Feng stared intently at Dou, awaiting his reply.

The answer to this question is crucial, as it directly relates to the true success rate of the Uchiha clan's fusion with White Zetsu Cells.

"This..." Dou was momentarily speechless, pondering this question he had never considered before.

But after a moment of contemplation, he had his answer.

"Sir, both scenarios should be 100%."

"Oh? Is there any basis for this, or is this just your guess?"

"The reasoning is quite simple: due to your actions, Lord Orochimaru has not used any real Uchiha in any of the related live fusion experiments he is currently conducting."

Since there wasn't a single true Uchiha, their Sharingan couldn't possibly be their own.

Therefore, all the previous experimental data can be said to have been obtained from non- Uchiha Sharingan.

Therefore, theoretically, the success rate of transplanting someone else's Mangekyō should be 100%, while the success rate of awakening one's own Mangekyō is uncertain.

But based on my research with Lord Orochimaru, it's clear that Uchiha who awaken their Sharingan on their own have a higher success rate than non- Uchiha."

Upon hearing this, Feng's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Are you sure!?"

"While I can't be 100% certain, I'm 90% confident."

"Hahaha!! Great! That's fantastic!"

"Kabuto, once we return, I need you to immediately prepare for experiments to transplant White Zetsu Cells into several people!"

This time, Feng laughed, laughing heartily and uncontrollably.

90% certainty? What's the difference between that and 100%?

The Uchiha Clan currently possesses four Mangekyō Sharingan. Aside from the two that are implanted in himself, which he doesn't want to use for the time being, the other two, Mangekyō were transplanted into Kentaro Uchiha a couple of years ago, are ready to be used.

Replacing the Sharingan is similar to changing a light bulb; by using those two Mangekyō as a safety net, it won't be long before all the Uchiha ninjas are able to have their eyes chakra replenished, and there will be no more risk of going blind.

"Yes, sir, I will also be doing some preliminary preparations during this period."

"Dou, if this succeeds, I assure you that in the future, wherever you and your adoptive mother are under my command, as long as you abide by the law, no one will be able to interfere with you."

"Anyone! Whether it's Orochimaru, Konoha, or even if the Sage of Six Paths is resurrected, I guarantee you can freely choose the life you want, according to your own will."

Having received a satisfactory answer, Feng patted his chest and gave Dou the promise he needed most.

Seeing that Feng was genuinely happy and made a promise, Dou smiled too.

But after laughing, he suddenly became serious and said:

"Thank you, sir. I also hope for and look forward to that day."

"Um... sir, I suddenly thought of something and wanted to tell you beforehand, and I hope to get your permission."

"Oh? It's rare for you to take the initiative to make a request. Tell me what it is, and as long as it's not unreasonable, I'll definitely agree."

"My lord, it's nothing serious."

As you know, Director Nonō and I both came from Konoha's Orphanage, so I want to take some of Orphanage former classmates with me when the Konoha Crush Plan is implemented, so that everyone can reunite with the Director.

They hadn't seen the Director for a long time. Some people were hoping and waiting for the Director to return, while others even thought the Director had sacrificed himself.

Moreover, if I leave Konoha without them, they might suffer even more severe persecution from Danzo. I can't bear to leave them behind, and I'm sure Director would be worried too."

As he said this, Kabuto looked up and gazed into the distance towards the Konoha Orphanage, his eyes somewhat dim.

"That's it? No problem, I agree."

But once you bring them back, you'll be responsible for their guardianship. If any of them become spies or traitors from Konoha, you'll bear the responsibility. Is that alright?

"Of course, I will take full responsibility for the consequences. Thank you, sir."

"Well, since they all come from Orphanage, the best ones were already picked by Danzo. The rest are probably not very strong, and some of them might even be ordinary people."

Have you figured out how to take them away? Or I can help you take them away."

Feng's plan was simple: he would definitely use the Castle that Tokatsu transformed into to "empty" Konoha when Konoha Crush, and he would just need to bring a few more people with him.

However, he seemed to have forgotten that Kabuto had already signed the Summoning Scroll of Tokatsu's chameleon clan with his help. Kabuto had previously Summoning other chameleons countless times to fight the giant snake summoned by Orochimaru.

so.

"My lord, thanks to your previous generosity in allowing your subordinates to sign their names on the Kyakumei Forest Summoning Scroll, and your ingenious idea of using Summoning Beast to transport people."

I recently asked Blood Claw of Kyakumei Forest to learn how to transform into Castle from your Summoning Beast, Tokatsu, and it's been quite effective.

Therefore, I have already planned that when we retreat, Blood Claw will turn into houses and take everyone from the Orphanage to Kyakumei Forest first. If you are willing to take them in, that would be best.

If you do not permit it, I will settle them on a remote island somewhere in the Rainbow Country. Although life will be very difficult for them, it is better than being Danzo in Konoha."

"Hehe, well planned. It seems you've been thinking about this for a long time."

"In that case, you and Nonō can handle the arrangements for those people afterwards. I won't interfere, but don't cause me any trouble."

Upon hearing this, Feng smiled awkwardly and replied casually.

Suddenly, Dou knelt down with a thud, his expression serious as he kowtowed and said, "My lord, I acted on my own initiative and made arrangements without your permission. Please punish me."

Clearly, Kabuto, who had always lived cautiously outside, lacked understanding of Feng. Given the serious taboo he had committed, a normal leader in the Ninja World would certainly not let him off easily.

Therefore, although Feng didn't say anything at this moment, Dou was thinking to himself that he should take the initiative to admit his mistake and beg for forgiveness first, so that even if he was punished, the punishment would be less severe.

As for what punishment he might suffer, Dou didn't care. It wasn't that he thought he was valuable enough to be killed by Feng, but rather that he was willing to bear any price compared to taking his companions from the Orphanage.

"Huh? Hehe, haha!"

Don't make such a big deal out of it. Get up.

"Don't worry, Kabuto. I'm always very lenient with my own people. You and Nonō are in frequent contact, so you should know that very well."

Seeing Dou kneeling and confessing his sins, Feng was taken aback at first, but after thinking about it and understanding what was going on, he laughed heartily.

He genuinely didn't care about such a small matter. After all, this was the Ninja World, and the usual methods used by those in power to maintain their authority were just low-level tactics here.

Feng, however, holds the true 'truth' that maintains power in the Ninja World —the power to suppress everything.

Therefore, although he used such petty political maneuvering, he didn't care much about it.
