"Tea, please."
When Guren saw that a new guest had arrived, she made Kakashi a cup of hot tea.
The steaming vapor rose in wisps and disappeared into the ceiling.
"I've come to thank Kiyoshi for helping me preserve Obito's Sharingan."
Kakashi returned the medical record to Rin Nohara.
"No, you should thank Lin. Lin worked very hard on this."
Qingsi shook his head.
Rin had already done her best to help Kakashi with this.
Rin Nohara was just an ordinary person, bound by class constraints, unable to see through the Konoha leadership or the Uchiha clan.
So she became the busiest person, running around asking people for favors and doing errands for Obito to give Kakashi the Sharingan.
Neither the Uchiha nor the Konoha leadership cared about this matter; they were focused on the deeper interests behind it.
If the benefits are great enough, Kakashi will give him the Sharingan anyway, since it won't end up outside the village.
Even clans like the Hyuga clan, which bear the "Caged Bird Seal," still have distant relatives. However, to outsiders, the "Little Hyuga Clan" has lost the ability to inherit the Byakugan.
However, there is actually someone in the Kohinata clan who has reverted to their ancestral form and awakened the Byakugan. However, due to their impure bloodline, they only have one Byakugan. That person is Kohinata Mukai from "Itachi Shinden". He will be killed by Itachi and Shisui in the future.
If the Uchiha and Hyuga clans were like this, then Kakashi, being the son of White Fang, must have retained some of White Fang's connections.
Anyone else who wants to emulate Kakashi and obtain the Sharingan should first consider whether they can obtain the Uchiha clan's freedom of action.
"Thank you, Lin?"
Kakashi repeated.
Nohara Rin's expression instantly turned unnatural, and she almost dropped the medical record in her hand.
"Be careful."
Kakashi moved the teacup away.
The medical record almost got into the tea. If that happens, won't Lin have to make a new one?
"Um……"
Nohara Rin gripped the medical record form tightly in her hand again.
Kakashi didn't pay much attention to Rin Nohara's change, thinking she was probably just distracted.
He was thinking that what Kiyoshi said did make sense.
Given Yilin's personality, she probably went to great lengths for him.
Kakashi felt a warmth in his heart; this was what was called "bonds".
Kiyoshi watched this scene quietly.
Does Kakashi truly have no romantic feelings for Rin Nohara?
That's not necessarily true. It's just that Obito's feelings for Rin are so open and undisguised that it puts the other two in a difficult position.
There's a detail in the anime where Kakashi uses "pink lilies" when he visits Rin Nohara's grave.
With so many flowers to choose from, why lilies, and specifically pink lilies?
The meaning of "pink lily" includes unrequited love, and it is suitable to give to your lover.
Kakashi happens to be this kind of reserved person; he couldn't help but want to touch her, but he didn't dare to speak up easily.
Ultimately, burdened by the self-reproach of abandoning Rin and the promise made to Obito, he buried it deep in his heart.
"Lin, Qing Si is right, thank you so much this time."
Kakashi expressed his sincere gratitude and even bowed.
"It's nothing, Kakashi. This is a collective effort. I hope Obito's spirit can rest in peace."
Nohara Rin felt a pang of sadness, her eyes reddened, and she rubbed them as if she had sand in them, wiping away her tears.
Kakashi may never know what price he paid.
She might already be pregnant...
There's nothing we can do about it; she's just an ordinary person.
Although it might seem like she was using Kiyoshi as a tool, what could she possibly have to repay him, or what leverage would motivate him to give his all?
"Hiss..."
The white snake glided lazily across the tatami mat, watching this scene with its black eyes narrowed.
I always find these humans a bit boring.
After a while, she slipped into Qing Si's sleeve again; it was still more comfortable with her master there.
More than ten minutes later, Kakashi left.
Nohara Rin, however, remained where she was.
She hesitated before bringing up the question with Kiyoshi.
After investigating Nohara Rin, Kiyoshi laughed and said that she was overthinking it.
"Take this medicine and you will return to normal."
Kiyoshi prescribed some medicine for Nohara Rin.
Medical ninjutsu is not an external skill; it can only treat certain illnesses.
Some illnesses require gradual treatment.
Nohara Rin felt a huge weight lifted from her heart. She picked up the prescription and looked at it, but couldn't understand whether the combination on it was appropriate.
Trusting in Kiyoshi's medical skills, Nohara Rin carefully put away the prescription before bidding Kiyoshi farewell and leaving.
"What will become of Kakashi and me in the future?"
Nohara Rin walked out of the courtyard with a sense of bewilderment.
After a while, she pessimistically thought that given her current state, she would have been eliminated long ago.
……
The mountain cemetery.
Inside the dimly lit cave, Obito covered the right half of his body.
A lump grew there, as if a new hand was about to grow back.
"How long have I been here? Why do I feel like I'm going to be here for a very long time?"
Chapter 231 Hinata Natsu, So Desperate to Improve (6k)
"You don't need to pay rent, so there's no need to worry."
One of the white Zetsu had its left hand supporting its hip, while the other half of its body was covered in pale white tentacles.
"We are produced by the 'God of the Outer Path,' so we don't need to eat."
"No need to spend money on food...no need to go to the toilet...and most importantly, we don't need to poop!"
The other white Zetsu was named Afei. Its face was like a vortex, with only a hole showing in its right eye. The hole was dark inside, as if there was nothing there, just an empty shell.
The spiral patterns on his face spread down his neck, and his entire torso also had spiral patterns.
"So what? Don't lump me in with you! I just have this weird thing sewn onto half of my body."
Obito covered his right side of his torso.
He had never heard of any ninja technique that could regenerate severed limbs, but the torso these guys had sewn onto him was showing signs of continuous growth!
Obito felt a chill run down his spine. Was this even human?
He didn't want to become one of those white guys.
"Thanks to that, you can survive even without food or water. You should thank it."
The White Zetsu, whose body was deformed on one side, said, "We don't want to be lumped together with you. Your part is just an artificial body without emotions."
"We are artificial beings...we possess our own emotions!"
Afei said excitedly.
Finally, he added, "We just don't need to poop, but compared to you, our vocabulary and intelligence are much higher."
"Noisy!"
Obito looked at the group of noisy guys.
These two guys claimed to have been sent by Madara Uchiha to monitor him and help him complete his rehabilitation training.
"Wow...!"
Obito suddenly covered his empty left eye and felt a stinging pain again.
He seemed to vaguely see Nohara Rin again.
The image was torn apart, with many black snowflake patterns, making it impossible for Obito to see any further.
"It's that hallucination again."
Obito and the others only put their hands down after the pain subsided for a while.
Ever since he gave the Sharingan to Kakashi as a gift and then got stuck here, he has occasionally seen hallucinations.
Those hallucinations were all about things happening around Kakashi.
Today he saw his beloved Lin at Qing Si's house again, but he didn't know what she was doing.
"I will definitely get rid of this awful place and go see Rin and Kakashi!"
Obito said with great ambition.
It doesn't matter if half of his body is replaced by an artificial one, as long as his handsome face is still there.
After we get out, he can form a duo with Kakashi and become the Sharingan duo. Rin will definitely admire him a lot!
In the dimly lit cave, a faint red light emanated.
Madara Uchiha opened his eyes, raised his deeply lined old face, and looked at Obito.
"I can't wait any longer, but... the plan will be completed soon, and you will see your long-awaited companion."
Uchiha Madara looked at Obito.
Just as he once told Obito not to thank him too soon, the final step of the plan had only just begun.
In this way, after his death, someone will inherit his will and act as "Madara" in the ninja world to carry out the "Eye of the Moon Plan".
"Hmph... I hope that junior can live to see that day."
The image of Kiyoshi appeared in Madara Uchiha's mind.
Such an outstanding talent would surely have a place among people of his generation.
Unfortunately, being born too late means being too late, and there's no chance to turn things around.
He has combined the power of the Senju clan and obtained the Myriad Manifestations of the Universe, which is the ultimate power of the Uchiha clan, the "Rinnegan," enough to glimpse a corner of the level of the Sage of Six Paths!
So he leaped up and, relying on this power, became the mastermind, able to view the entire ninja world as a chessboard.
No matter how outstanding Uchiha Kiyoshi is, he cannot escape this chessboard.
This is where the limitation of one's perspective lies.
Madara Uchiha closed his eyes once more, leaning against the throne woven from trees, and fell into a deep sleep amidst the bickering of Obito and White Zetsu.
…………
Hyuga clan.
"Nobuhiko."
Hinata Ginka placed a bouquet of flowers in a vase and looked at Hinata Nobuhiko.
His eyes were covered with a white bandage, and you could clearly see that the area around his eye sockets was slightly sunken.
