Inner workings

Kakashi and Mizuki were speaking for an hour straight, throughout the duration of their discussion, Mizuki was scanning Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan.

" Kakashi, if you don't mind me asking, you didn't recieve your Sharingan as a Mangekyou right? "

Kakashi was shocked, how did Mizuki find out? He himself found out in his fight with Zabuza, when he accidentally put too much chakra into his eye.

" How did you find out? And no, I got this eye as a two tomoe. "

Mizuki nodded, Sharingan wasn't very well understood, but from what the story had told, it was found that Sharingan evolved because of a special chakra Uchiha brain secrets.

' But Kakashi isn't an Uchiha at all, yet he still awakened Mangekyou, where did this special chakra required even come from? '

In a scenario like this, it didn't require a genius to understand, there was no special Uchiha brain chakra in Kakashi, which was supposedly what triggers the evolution.

It was a simple fluctuation of yin, or this fundamentally shouldn't be possible.

Now if this special chakra was but a chakra fluctuation caused by intense emotions, that would explain a few things.

" Nothing much Kakashi, I just saw Sasuke awakening his Mangekyou, this gave me a feel for it's presence. "

Kakashi was shocked, Sasuke awakened his Mangekyou? He would have to look into this when he gets out.

Thankfully sending pakkun was useful, Mizuki managed to bring everything back on track, just a few more days and they get out.

" Kakashi, I have a doubt, why do you think only some Uchiha awaken Mangekyou sharingan and others don't? It's not like people haven't seen loved ones getting killed, the Uchiha massacre should have been teeming with Mangekyou owners, Itachi didn't exactly kill everyone in one shot. "

Kakashi frowned, scientific research wasn't his forte, he just took whatever was known and if it made sense to him, he went with it.

" I am not sure, is it a question of talent? "

Mizuki shook his head.

" Then Sasuke shouldn't have a Mangekyou at all. And as far as I know, your friend who gave you the Sharingan wasn't exactly the brightest before awakening his either. "

Kakashi gave a wry smile at the mention of Obito, but did not let this bring him down.

" That's true, then what do you think happens? "

Kakashi wasn't into research, but Mizuki was, and he was a man who would learn whatever he could.

Mizuki smiled as shaking his finger he clarified.

" If I am right the only Uchiha part in you is the eye, not the brain, so there is something in the eye itself which evolved it, the only thing that I can think of are it's genes. "

Mizuki concluded.

" Sharingan is fundamentally a bloodline limit of Uchiha, passed on through DNA, everything about Sharingan has to have it's roots in genetics, even Mangekyou is no exception. "

Kakashi nodded, that made sense, Mizuki had explained to him the concept of genes a while ago, so he didn't have much problem catching on.

But Mizuki didn't tell him about his and Obito's Mangekyou pattern, it was identical, even their Kamui space itself also was connected, this has zero chance of happening if Mangekyou abilities were not somehow connected with the body's genetics.

At least their kamui spaces should have been different, even if by a massive stroke of luck they awakened the same jutsu seperately.

' Just because of Obito's double kamui we can conclude this, if for some reason he awakened different jutsu like Itachi, we couldn't confirm it at all, it was a stroke of fortune that we can see using the Kamui connection with Kakashi, how everything actually works, both eyes are connected. '

Understanding everything, Mizuki simply ended the conversation.

" That's all I can say for sure. "

Shrugging, Mizuki didn't explain any further, for people like Kakashi who understood half and figured they now know everything, telling them more is a waste of time.

He will leave it here, until Kakashi thinks for himself and understands the ideas Mizuki presented, Mizuki won't go out of his way to enlighten him further

It was an utter waste of time for him.

" Now if you will excuse me, I have to go and visit Hokage sama, she has been bugging me all the time, she even had Shizune leave, it's tiring. "

Kakashi twitched his lips, was this necessary to say to him? He was trapped in a dull cell.

But he then remembered what Mizuki had told him about Tsunade and his interactions and hesitated a little.

He wasn't sure if what he thought was right, but Kakashi had come to view Mizuki as a comrade and friend, people who kept up with him weren't many.

" Wait, I know I shouldn't exactly be saying this, but.. do you think Tsunade sama has some.. other ideas about you? "

Mizuki stopped in his tracks. As he looked back, confused.

" What other ideas? "

Kakashi became serious as he put his hands behind his back and somehow pulled out an Icha Icha.

' Where did he keep that? Wasn't everything taken away, this is a cell?? '

Kakashi not caring about Mizuki silently flipped over to a page.

Looking up, he seriously told Mizuki.

" See, both of your interactions match this page, and then if you go a little further. "

Looking at Kakashi giggling as he showed an explicit page Mizuki gave him a dry look.

" Are ya done? Mr I get all my romantic experience form Icha Icha? "

Kakashi looked offended.

" I will have you know, Mr Jiraya was Tsunade sama's teammate, his books are very reliable! "

Mizuki just looked at the page, as Kakashi read it out to him

" Look at this, she called him in, the house was empty, she gently asked him to play a game with her, then proceeded to remove...hehehe "

Resisting the urge to beat him on the head, Mizuki just walked away.

Kakashi quickly put the book behind him and it somehow vanished.

" Just be careful, she isn't as young as she looks! "

Mizuki didn't even bother walking away anymore and simply teleported, Kakashi sat down on his cell as he breathed a sigh.

" That's all I can do for you Anko. "

Kakashi had promised Anko before, he will make sure to keep an eye out and stop any hussies from approaching Mizuki, seeing how they were basically together, he decided to agree to her.

No way, she had limited edition icha icha, he couldn't say no.

" But I can't exactly stop the Hokage from approaching Mizuki now can I.. I am just stuck in a cell.. "

Kakashi scratched his hair, no way, he did his job, he cannot do anything now.

Meanwhile Mizuki had teleported to Senju compound.

' That Kakashi, he needs to get over Rin and get some actual experience, I'll set him up with Samui. '

Mizuki shook his head as he knocked on Tsunade's house.

* Knock knock *

" Come in! "

With a smile on his face, Mizuki entered.

' Huh, where's Shizune. '

Out of nowhere Kakashi's words echoed in his head. She called him in, the house was empty.

Shaking his head he removed the thought, he looked at Tsunade, who spoke gently.

" Mizuki, you came at just the right time, I have this new game, Shizune is out, I got nobody to gamble with. "

Mizuki frowned his eyebrows, no way, was this Kakashi's she gently asked him to play a game part??

No, that's just absurd, Icha Icha put thoughts in his mind. Begone!

Carefully taking a step forward Mizuki looked at Tsunade, who was fanning herself

" This time Konoha is really hot, I swear. "

As Mizuki saw Tsunade attempting to remove her upper cloak due to heat, he decided to leave, he wasn't about to see if Kakashi's other predictions come true.

The moment the next scenes play out, he was out of luck, he cannot go back.

" I am sorry Tsunade san, I have some work, I will definitely come next day, peace. "

And before Tsunade's wide eyes, Mizuki teleported away.

" What..? "

Tsunade looked confused, then grumbled and took out a book from underneath her resting pillow.

" Damn Jiraya. "
