Chapter 57: Go to Memorial Stone at the Middle of the Night
Tonight is destined to be a night of harvest.
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, had a night of poor quality sleep.
Hatake Kakashi received news that his dear friend Uchiha Obito was still alive.
Uchiha Obito reaped the most; he gained a powerful subordinate, Akihara Kagura, as well as the opportunity to live in the world again under his true identity.
Even Naruto, the little rascal, managed to scrounge a meal.
As for Akihara Kagura, an ordinary employee, he received a new work assignment and a newcomer's welcome package from his new superior.
[System Prompt]: [New work assignment: Assist Hatake Kakashi in gathering intelligence on the rogue ninja Uchiha Obito from Konoha, assigned by the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.]
Tasks assigned by this superior always seem to be about execution without questioning the results, yet they invariably require successful outcomes.
By comparison
Akihara Kagura quite likes his new superior.
[System Prompt]: [You have a new superior (Uchiha Obito), reward: newcomer's welcome package, unlocking new trait 'Eye of Bond (Right)']
[Eye of Bond (Right), the legendary Mangeky Sharingan. Despite being only the right eye, it possesses unimaginable doujutsu power for mortals!]
[System Prompt]: Initiating Mangeky Sharingan awakening based on the host's inner will... Doujutsu awakening was successful! [Eye of Bond (Right)] has been replaced with the new trait [Mangeky Sharingan (Right)!]
[System Prompt]: The host has collected both Eye of Bonds [Mangeky Sharingan (Left)] and [Mangeky Sharingan (Right)], enhancing doujutsu powers significantly. Traits combined and strengthened into the new trait [Mangeky Sharingan]!
[Mangeky Sharingan: Possesses strong observational, copying, and hypnotic abilities, enhances observational skills, strengthens the ability to cast and see through illusions, can copy physical techniques and non-Bloodline ninjutsu, and even hypnotize Tailed Beasts. The left eye doujutsu is Tsukuyomi, the right eye doujutsu is Kamui, the ultimate dojutsu is Susanoo!]
[Limited Tsukuyomi (A doujutsu within the Mangeky Sharingan, when used on an enemy, it creates a new illusionary world based on the enemy's life and the host's will. The enemy's real body is drawn into the illusionary world using space-time powers. If the enemy cannot escape the fate of the illusionary world or defeat the host, they will be lost in the illusionary world forever.)]
[Limited Tsukuyomi Enhancement (With both eyes enhanced, the host can control everything in the illusionary world of Tsukuyomi and enter or leave at will using space-time powers.)]
[Limited Yomi (A doujutsu within the Mangeky Sharingan, used by the host on themselves. After activating Yomi, all injuries suffered by the host will turn into a dream and disappear after ten minutes. Each use of Yomi consumes a significant amount of doujutsu power.)
Hatake Kakashi shook his head, trying to dissuade Akihara Kagura: "Moreover, the truth about Obito hasn't been clarified yet..."
"No, I don't just want to report these"
Akihara Kagura shook his head and sighed, "I just feel that life in the Anbu is a bit hard, and I want to return to Lord Danzo's Root"
"The Third Hokage is unfair in his rewards and punishments. Tonight we did so much, and we can't even rest a bit, but have to continue researching with you... Initially, Lord Danzo even taught me two powerful Wood Release jutsu and rewarded me with a personal training ground!"
"..."
Hatake Kakashi fell silent for a moment.
Over the years of his career in the Anbu, Hatake Kakashi had seen many newcomers, but he had never seen anyone like Akihara Kagura. How could a member of the Anbu still be seeking treatment and rewards?
"I will report and apply to the Hokage."
Hatake Kakashi looked at the young Anbu member beside him and couldn't help asking again, "Wait... I remember, wasn't it you who actively wanted to join me in investigating Uchiha Obito?"
"Because I have to watch you..."
Akihara Kagura stated his attitude directly and spoke nonchalantly: "Lest Captain Kakashi let his past comrades go again... That guy mocked me for being extreme in my actions, but I really wanted to kill him!"
"Actually..."
You little kid, you are the most extreme...
Hatake Kakashi knew he couldn't say the second half of his thought aloud, to avoid an immediate internal conflict in their small team investigating Uchiha Obito.
"I want to go to the Memorial Stone first."
Hatake Kakashi suddenly proposed to go to the cemetery in the back mountain of Konoha.
"Let's go together, I have to watch you."
Akihara Kagura planned to follow Hatake Kakashi to see, and also suggested, "In the middle of the night, are we going to dig up Uchiha Obito's grave?"
