"Oh? What are you talking about?" Hiruzen's voice sounded.
The several people who were discussing all stood up. Only Tsunade remained seated casually. Hiruzen didn't mind, Tsunade was naturally like that.
After Shinji explained to Hiruzen, he turned to look at Kakashi, who had been silent. "Kakashi, what have you decided?"
"Will it harm this eye?" Kakashi's face was calm, he just looked at Shinji and asked this question.
Shinji was stunned. This old boy didn't care about his own safety, but he cared about this eye.
Sure enough, bromance is true love, isn't it?
Shinji could only say, "Don't worry, it won't."
He wasn't lying to Kakashi, this Jutsu focused on Kakashi himself.
Hiruzen stood by silently. After all, Kakashi had to think carefully about such a matter himself.
"Okay."
Hearing this, Kakashi no longer hesitated and nodded.
With him agreeing, Tsunade and the others naturally began to prepare. Soon, Kakashi was led into an operating room.
Shinji explained to Kakashi one last ti, "Kakashi, next, we will establish a controllable valve between your Sharingan and your Chakra pathways."
"Since I'm already in, it's all up to you." Kakashi, lying on the operating table, nodded, his tone slightly relaxed.
After all, for him, whether it succeeded or not wasn't a problem.
Seeing this, Shinji said no more. Next, he would take the lead in sealing and controlling.
Tsunade, on the other hand, would use her dical ninjutsu to safely engrave the seal onto the delicate eye Chakra pathways as Shinji instructed.
Inoichi would attempt ntal synchronization with Kakashi once the surgery began.
"Alright. Let's begin."
Tsunade changed into her clothes, her face full of excitent.
After so many years, this was the first ti she was operating on sothing of such high difficulty, she was naturally a bit excited.
As for being rusty? What a joke.
Shinji and Inoichi nodded, each beginning their respective tasks.
Soon, Kakashi fell into a deep sleep, feeling as if he had a dream. In the dream, everything passed by like a fleeting glimpse.
He even saw his father again, and that familiar face made him dazed for a long ti. In the end, he didn't know what he said to his father.
Kakashi then slowly opened his eyes.
"Awake?"
A voice sounded.
Kakashi blinked, and it took him a while to realize it was Shinji's voice.
Shinji was sitting on a chair, this was the ward. After the successful surgery, Kakashi was moved here.
Initially, Tsunade, seeing Kakashi hadn't woken up, thought sothing had gone wrong. However, Shinji confird that Kakashi was in a state of self-closure.
"I had a very long dream." Kakashi sat up from the hospital bed and nodded, saying.
This dream made him sowhat nostalgic for the past.
"Your surgery was very successful. Your Sharingan is now in a closed state." Seeing this, Shinji stated the reason why he was watching here.
Hmm?
Kakashi reacted to these words, realizing that he no longer felt his Chakra being forcibly plundered by the Sharingan.
"Here." Shinji handed Kakashi a mirror.
Kakashi took it and glanced at it. He wasn't wearing a mask, which made him instinctively panic for a mont. But then his attention was drawn to his left eye in the mirror.
At this mont, his left eye was no longer the crimson Sharingan, his pupil had returned to black.
Around his left eye, on the eyelids and lower eyelid, a circle of extrely subtle, purplish miniature sealing runes appeared. If one didn't look closely, they wouldn't even notice them.
"Both opening and closing thods are done by hand signs. You only need to inject a small amount of Chakra into the seal of your left eye."
"The hand signs to open are Rat - Horse. To close, it's simply the reverse."
Shinji took the opportunity to explain to Kakashi, as Tsunade would be too lazy to co and specifically give these instructions.
"Okay, but—"
Kakashi glanced at Shinji and asked, "Where's my mask?"
"Lost it." Shinji smiled.
He did it on purpose. Before, Kakashi always wore his mask, even during als with them.
Taking advantage of this mont, if he didn't take it off, was he supposed to wait until Kakashi woke up?
"You really are childish." Kakashi was speechless.
People he knew had always been curious about what he looked like under his mask. He kept it hidden out of habit and also due to a mischievous streak. Yet, Shinji pulled such a stunt while he was asleep.
Shinji spread his hands, his face showing an expression of 'This is , what can you do about it?'
"Thank you." Kakashi sighed and looked out the window, saying.
Shinji waved his hand and stood up, saying, "You're welco. However, now, in the closed state, your Sharingan's Chakra consumption is almost zero. I believe you must have already sensed it."
Kakashi nodded. "Yes, I haven't felt this relaxed in a long ti."
This was the first ti he had felt so relaxed in over ten years. His Chakra reserves had also returned to normal levels, and his combat endurance would be greater in the future. He wouldn't need to gather intelligence first when encountering a difficult opponent, as he did before.
"Then that's it for now. You should be discharged tomorrow. I'm very curious to know the true strength of the genius Kakashi."
Shinji reached out and patted Kakashi's shoulder, then turned and left.
Without the burden of the Sharingan, what level Kakashi could reach in the future was truly unpredictable.
One should know, this was several years earlier than Kakashi ten years after the Fourth Great Ninja War.
"A genius, huh—" Kakashi murmured softly.
Shinji, walking out of Konoha Hospital, looked up at the sky. It was neither too early nor too late. He should return to the Hokage Office to deal with so matters first.
Hiruzen was already preparing. Obito is still alive. Although this matter was only a unilateral confirmation, it still needed to be addressed.
Minato and Kushina, these were not just two ordinary lives.
In contrast, Jiraiya was relatively calm. In his words, this matter was actually sothing Kakashi needed to face more. And he, Jiraiya, would do his part when the ti ca for action. If he could act, he would go all out.
Shinji shook his head and slowly stepped forward.
Dealing with Obito was one thing, but Black Zetsu, lurking in the shadows, was what truly needed attention.
Having lain dormant for over a thousand years just to release Kaguya, such a fellow had to be controlled before the war began. Otherwise, if he escaped, the entire Ninja World might fall into chaos.
