Chapter 68

Ps: The new book is out; I’m asking for auto-subscriptions. The support of my dear readers is the motivation for the author to write more chapters!

“As expected of Father.”

“To suppress the Three-Tails so easily.”

“Although there is still a distance compared to Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha at their peak.”

“But in Sage Mode, his strength has already surpassed the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.”

“Father is still young.”

“There is still a lot of room for growth in the future; by his peak, he will at least be at the peak of Super Kage-level, and possibly even Six Paths-level.”

“.........”

Black Zetsu, hiding in the shadows.

Silently observed Senju Hoshiya’s performance; whether it was the state of entering Sage Mode instantly or the power of the Wood Release he displayed, it was breathtaking.

At the very least.

In the current era of the Five Kage, he could be called a leader.

Dealing with those Otsutsuki clan members who haven't eaten the God Tree fruit, a combatant at the peak of Super Kage-level is also very important.

If.

Father could step into the Six Paths-level.

Then, by joining forces with Mother, they could better defend against the invasion of the Otsutsuki clan.

“Sage Art: Wood Release: Great Wood Binding Technique!”

Senju Hoshiya clapped his hands.

Directly summoning a large number of trees with surging life force, wrapping them around the unconscious Three-Tails.

Since he didn't know proper sealing jutsu.

He could only use Wood Release to drag the full-body Three-Tails back to the Hidden Leaf Village.

This is an energy body that can shorten the maturation time of the Tree of Life Kabbalah by a hundred years; it cannot be wasted.

“Let’s go, Kakashi.”

“Ah...... yes.......”

Looking at this scene.

Kakashi Hatake’s eyes were a bit dumbfounded, and he said blankly.

However.

He quickly came back to his senses.

Shaking his head, he threw the extra thoughts out of his mind.

He hurried up to check the condition of the Uchiha girl, but it was a bit too late; her life force had completely dissipated.

Whether it was the piercing wound from that Chidori or the life extraction from the Tailed Beast leaving her body.

Facing this situation.

Unless one used the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique of the Rinnegan, it was impossible to save the life of a dead person.

No way.

Kakashi Hatake could only pick up the corpse of this Uchiha girl.

At the very least, he had to bring her body back to the Hidden Leaf Village.

“Lord Hoshiya, those Mist Mist Mist Anbu—”

“Them? Don't worry so much, someone has already taken care of them all.”

Exiting Sage Mode.

Senju Hoshiya said indifferently.

Because he could no longer feel the life force of the Mist Mist Mist Anbu; all dozens of them had been killed by Obito Uchiha, who had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.

During the Chunin Exams.

The Obito Uchiha he saw was just an elite Genin who hadn't awakened the Sharingan.

Now.

Not only had he awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.

His strength had also leaped to the level of a Jonin.

Coupled with the blessing of a special White Zetsu individual named 'Tobi', he could even temporarily rise to the quasi-Kage level.

As long as he recovers well from his injuries, stepping into the Kage-level in the future is a certainty.

Because.

For the Uchiha clan.

Awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan is roughly equivalent to an entry ticket to Kage-level strength.

“Kakashi, as long as Itachi master the power of that eye, stepping into the Kage-level in the future is just a matter of time.”

“Obito’s....... eye?”

“The Mangekyo Sharingan is an upgraded mode of the three-tomoe Sharingan, which can only be opened after experiencing huge negative emotions, such as witnessing the death of a loved one, and generating special chakra. It not only enhances the original abilities of the Sharingan but can also develop powerful ocular techniques.”

Because no one in the Uchiha clan has awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan for a long time.

So, there are very few relevant records.

At the very least, Kakashi Hatake, as an outsider, certainly didn't know this information; he thought the limit of the Sharingan was the three-tomoe.

Now.

Hearing Senju Hoshiya’s popular science.

Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but nod.

Realizing how precious this eye, which Obito gifted him before he died, is now.

If the Uchiha clan knew that an outsider had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, they would probably all go completely crazy.

Even wanting to take action to take it back directly.

“Of course.”

“There are also side effects to using the Mangekyo Sharingan.”

“The more Itachi use it, the faster your vision will decline, until the day Itachi go completely blind.”

“So, before there is a solution.”

“It’s better to use this power sparingly.”

“........”

Senju Hoshiya also reminded him a couple of times.

After all, Kakashi Hatake is also a commoner ninja who has received the favor of the Senju of the Forest, not from the faction of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, but loyal to the Senju of the Forest faction.

It is no exaggeration to say.

With Kakashi Hatake’s own talent, even without the Sharingan, he could step into the Kage-level domain.

Moreover.

The Sharingan that couldn't be closed in the early stages.

Instead, it dragged down the growth speed of Kakashi Hatake’s strength, so that he, who was a Jonin at twelve, was only at the elite Jonin level at twenty-four, completely dragged down by that one Sharingan.

The solution.

Is not entirely non-existent.

Either upgrade to the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, or transplant Hashirama cells.

However.

Kakashi Hatake doesn't have a brother who awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.

And, Senju Hoshiya doesn't have Hashirama cells on hand, but going to Orochimaru or Danzo Shimura should be able to find similar things; it’s just a question of whether Kakashi Hatake can accept that power.

“I understand, Lord Hoshiya.”

Regarding Senju Hoshiya’s reminder.

Kakashi Hatake also nodded, indicating that he understood and wouldn't mess around.

“If I’m not mistaken, the ability of your left eye is called ‘Kamui’, which is a space-time ocular technique.”
