Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Kakashi - Uchiha's Grand Vision
Inside a secret chamber.
The majority of the ninja tools and techniques seized from the Mountain Graveyard had been distributed among the clan members according to their contributions and needs.
With some time and diligent training, it was believed that the Uchiha clan could not only recover but also elevate their overall strength.
However, the Hashirama cells, which were the most coveted by the Uchiha, were not something that could be transplanted casually. They required thorough and careful study.
As far as they knew, Uchiha Madara had successfully transplanted Hashirama cells into Obito using the power of the Rinnegan and Gedo Statue, which was why it went so smoothly. Orochimaru, with the support of Danzo, had conducted numerous human experiments on Hashirama cells, but only Yamato had survived.
Therefore, hastily transplanting Hashirama cells was a risky endeavor.
This was where Tsunade came in.
As the granddaughter of the First Hokage, she had a deeper understanding of the Senju clan's physique and power than most. Coupled with her renowned medical skills, she could significantly reduce the risks associated with the transplant surgery.
Thus, Tsunade once again moved into the Uchiha's medical room.
There, she studied Madara's notes, familiarized herself with the transplant procedure, and conducted systematic research on Hashirama cells. It was believed that she would soon produce preliminary results.
During this period, to improve Tsunade's work efficiency, they brought her attendant, Shizune, to assist.
Shizune was familiar with the Uchiha clan because she had been mentioned by them and had been thrown into a roadside bush. Initially, she was nervous about being recognized and potentially exposing Tsunade, but she quickly realized she had overthought it.
Apparently, Tsunade had already reached an understanding with the Uchiha clan and was collaborating with them under an anonymous identity.
In the afternoon, at the ANBU training ground.
"Zzzzz!" A piercing sound, like a thousand birds chirping, echoed through the air, accompanied by a blinding light. A figure, enveloped in lightning, darted across the training ground at an incredible speed.
Thud!
Kakashi's hand pierced the dummy's heart, fast, precise, and powerful.
He then withdrew his hand, the high-intensity electric current formed by his lightning chakra gradually dissipating in the air.
Chidori.
A lightning technique developed by Kakashi himself, with an S-rank difficulty level.
This technique combined chakra's nature and shape transformations and was a close-range assassination technique used against enemies during high-speed movement.
Since joining the ANBU, Kakashi had used Chidori to mercilessly pierce the hearts of his enemies multiple times, earning him the nickname "Cold-blooded Kakashi."
He raised his hand and touched his left Sharingan.
Chidori had to be used in conjunction with the Sharingan.
Only the dynamic vision of the Sharingan could keep up with the speed of Chidori, allowing Kakashi to seize the perfect moment to unleash it during combat.
Previously, due to the physical strain caused by the Sharingan, Kakashi could only use Chidori four times a day before exhausting his chakra.
But recently... things had changed.
Kakashi distinctly felt that using the Sharingan was no longer as tiring as before, and the burden seemed to have lessened significantly.
The most direct evidence was that he had already used Chidori six times on the training ground that day.
He couldn't help but recall the recent incident when he was invited to the gym for a meal by the Uchiha clan and ended up passing out due to "drunkenness." Kakashi realized something must have been done to his left eye by the Uchiha clan.
Rather than making wild guesses here.
After much consideration, he decided... to ask them directly.
So.
Kakashi lowered his headband, covering his eye, and headed towards the Uchiha clan's territory.
At the Uchiha Fitness Center.
Inside, two staff members were holding cameras, taking new promotional photos for the Fitness Center.
These photos would be displayed inside and outside the gym to attract customers and motivate members to exercise.
As for the models participating in the shoot.
Needless to say, they were the gym's manager, Uchiha, and the coach, Samui.
Samui was wearing the Fitness Center's white t-shirt and red shorts, highlighting her youthful vitality and attractive curves.
Dumbbell rows, barbell squats, resistance band training...
In front of the camera, she demonstrated almost all the gym equipment and workout poses.
Just then, "Let's take a few shots of the manager and the coach together. The effect will be great."
With one staff member's suggestion, the others' eyes lit up, and they all chimed in agreement.
Samui nodded, looking a bit shy and nervous.
Uchiha walked over, shirtless, his exaggerated deltoids, broad chest, and well-defined abs exuding a strong masculine charm.
During the shoot.
"Manager, coach, could you get a little closer, be a bit more intimate."
"Yes, just like that."
The photographer kept guiding the two, and the other staff members joined in the teasing.
To almost everyone present.
Uchiha Dan and Samui seemed like a perfect match, and no one would believe there was nothing going on between them.
Under everyone's teasing, Samui blushed and felt a bit uncomfortable.
Dan noticed her discomfort, furrowed his brow, and said to her:
"The most important thing for a fitness enthusiast is to confidently showcase their physique. Focus on the shoot, don't think about anything else."
Having said that.
He stretched out a massive arm with a serious expression, and to Samui's surprise, he hoisted her up single-handedly, letting her sit on his right shoulder.
Dan believed that this pose, with Samui as a prop, would perfectly showcase his broad shoulders, drawing attention to his perfect shoulder lines.
His shoulders were wider than the main street of Konoha, after all.
When it came to showcasing his muscles, Dan had a lot of poses up his sleeve.
All along.
Only when he was working out and showing off his muscles was Uchiha truly invested, serious, and focused.
This was called staying true to one's original aspiration.
After being used as a prop for showing off muscles and being tossed around by Dan, Samui finally finished the shoot, panting heavily.
Samui was naturally aloof.
Those who knew her said she was an icy beauty, hard to approach.
This personality made her more rational and calm than most, which was why she was chosen by the Fourth Raikage to be a high-level spy infiltrating Konoha.
But being aloof didn't mean she was emotionless.
Samui wasn't the type to fall in love at first sight, and as a spy, she always tried to suppress her emotions.
However, after spending three years with this man named Dan, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have developed some indescribable feelings for him unknowingly.
Was it love that grew over time?
What concerned Samui more was - what did Dan think?
After a mental struggle.
"Boss..."
Samui mustered the courage to approach Uchiha, intending to have a serious talk with him.
If possible, she wanted to hear a rejection from Dan, so she could extricate herself from these dangerous feelings in time.
Just as she was about to speak.
"Boss, a ninja named Kakashi is here to see you. He's waiting in the reception room."
A staff member suddenly ran over, interrupting Samui's words.
Oh?
Hearing Kakashi's name, Dan's eyes flashed, and without a word, he headed towards the reception room.
Leaving Samui alone, feeling lost.
At least at this moment.
Samui was disheartened to find that even Kakashi, an outsider, seemed to be more important to the manager than she was.
She must have been overthinking.
In the reception room.
Under Kakashi's tense gaze, Uchiha strode in and sat down across from him.
"What do you want to ask?"
Dan knew that Kakashi wasn't here for a casual visit, so he cut to the chase, skipping unnecessary pleasantries.
Upon hearing this, Kakashi lifted his headband to reveal his left eye and asked directly:
"What did you do to my left eye when I passed out during our last meal?"
"It seems you've noticed."
Dan seemed to have anticipated this question and explained it to Kakashi.
Looking at Kakashi's left eye, he said with a furrowed brow:
"The transplantation of the Sharingan is not as simple as you think. I don't know who helped you with the transplantation of your left eye, but the technique was crude, pressing on the optic nerve, causing you to expend more chakra to maintain it. Over the years, you must have been tormented by this eye."
Upon hearing this, Kakashi's expression changed.
His left eye was transplanted by Rin. At that time, Rin was indeed a novice medical ninja.
Seeing that Kakashi didn't refute him, Dan continued: "We Uchiha often transplant Sharingan and have accumulated mature surgical experience. So when I discovered your situation, I asked our medical ninja to readjust your left eye while you were unconscious. The benefits this surgery brought you, I believe you've felt them, haven't you?"
This was, in fact, a bluff. The fundamental reason Kakashi couldn't handle his left eye was that it was a Mangekyou, not a regular three-tomoe Sharingan.
But Kakashi apparently didn't realize this.
After hearing Uchiha's words, he breathed a sigh of relief.
So that was it.
What puzzled Kakashi was.
"Why is the Uchiha clan being so kind to me?" He looked directly at Dan, wanting to know the answer to this question.
Dan chuckled lightly, explaining: "Since Obito gave you his eye in the name of the Uchiha, it's only right that the Uchiha help you take care of the Sharingan. We wouldn't want people in the village to say that the genius Kakashi was held back by the Sharingan. So, if you have any questions about the Sharingan in the future, feel free to ask any of us Uchiha."
"..."
Kakashi was stunned, speechless for a long time.
He hadn't expected the Uchiha clan to be so magnanimous.
This time, he had misjudged them.
"Any other questions?"
After bluffing Kakashi, Dan asked one last time.
Kakashi hesitated for a moment.
Since Dan said he could freely ask about the Sharingan, then he... wouldn't hold back.
So he asked Dan: "Is it possible for two Sharingan, if transplanted into two different people, to share a field of vision?"
Oh?
Kakashi's question piqued Dan's interest.
