Chapter 171: The Third Pair of Mangekyōs!

Seeing Shuichi frowning, Asuka quickly asked, "Shuichi, what's wrong?"

Hoshita Shuichi looked at Nohara Rin's face and said helplessly: "Lin said she can't control her body anymore."

Asuka was surprised: "How could this happen?"

"Is it because of your sealing technique?"

Yakushi Nono denied this inference: "It's not a sealing technique, but brain damage!"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "The Fire Seal will not make Rin unable to control her own body."

"The first generation cells only eroded part of Lin's body and did not spread to her head, so she would not be unable to wake up."

Asuka nodded and thought, "It is precisely because of this that the brain damage caused by the lack of heart in Rin was not restored by Hashirama's cells."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded, and at this time, the Yakushi Nono had completed the preliminary examination of Nohara Rin's brain and said solemnly: "It is indeed a serious brain injury, and a large area of brain cells have died."

We had tried our best to maintain Nohara Rin's blood oxygen circulation, but brain damage was still difficult to avoid.

"It's a bit troublesome..."

Hoshita Shuichi sighed.

Brain cell necrosis is not easy to cure, even if Tsunade comes.

Yakushi Nono immediately comforted him, "It's very rare to be able to achieve this level."

"If it were anyone else, there would be no chance of treatment."

Asuka nodded in agreement.

Yakushi Nono finally said: "The treatment of brain damage should be done bit by bit!"

"That's all we can do."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded, then used his spiritual clone to inform Nohara Rin of the situation, and then turned and left the ward.

…

Outside the ward, as Hoshita Shuichi came out, everyone's eyes immediately focused on him.

And there is also Kakashi who has woken up.

Hoshita Shuichi said: "The heart has recovered, but it is not enough to resist the power of the first generation cells. It can only be sealed for the time being."

"In addition, due to the previous heart injury, brain damage is inevitable, and a large area of brain cells have died. Currently, Rin is unable to wake up and control her body."

Kakashi was stunned when he heard this, and then asked anxiously: "Shuichi, will Rin always be like this?"

Tsunade listened and said, "Brain damage is to be expected. That kind of injury is unavoidable."

"As for brain cell necrosis, it's not that it can't be treated, but it's very troublesome. It requires replacing the dead brain cells little by little and growing new brain cells. This work is extremely delicate and cannot be solved in a short time."

"But as long as there are no problems with other organs, Rin's life will not be in danger."

"Kakashi, don't be so nervous."

"It's a miracle that we can achieve this."

Hoshita Shuichi patted Kakashi's shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, Rin will wake up."

"Moreover, her mental consciousness is actually clear."

"When you are transferred to the general ward, you can communicate with her through chakra."

Kakashi nodded, hesitating to speak.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said at this time: "Shuichi, Tsunade, both of you come to my office together."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded, but after thinking about it, he created a shadow clone and stayed behind.

…

Hokage's office.

Tsunade stood with her arms folded across her chest, frowning as she asked, "Why did you ask us to come here, old man?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Hoshita Shuichi and said, "Shuichi, you probably had something to say just now."

"Since Obito wasn't taken away by the Kiri Ninja, then who could it be?"

Hoshita Shuichi considered and said: "It is still unknown who it is, but the guy who controls Rin has very strong power."

"Most importantly, he has the three-magatama Sharingan."

Tsunade was surprised: "Sharingan?"

"The Uchiha clan?"

"As for the Uchiha clan, the strongest one at the moment should be the clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku. However, he should not be your opponent."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was deep in thought, he was worried that the Uchiha clan had discovered Danzo's affairs.

But that doesn't seem to be the case.

Hoshita Shuichi said: "Although he has the three magatama Sharingan, the illusion he used is not within my knowledge."

"I cut that guy's body in half. The two halves disappeared, and the man reappeared intact. It seemed that what I attacked was an illusion."

"But my illusion ability is not that bad..."

"And the price the opponent paid was the loss of the light of a three-magatama Sharingan."

"Of course, that's not the point."

"The key is another powerful force that is comparable to my many Rasenshuriken, or even stronger."

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Tsunade were both shocked when they heard this.

Hoshita Shuichi did not directly say the name of Susanoo, but described the appearance of Susanoo.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression suddenly changed after hearing this: "It turns out to be this..."

Tsunade quickly asked, "Old man, do you know what that ability is?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said in a deep voice: "That is the most powerful force of the Uchiha clan!"

"It's a pupil technique above the three-magatama Sharingan, belonging to the Mangekyō, called Susanoo!"

"Back then, Uchiha Madara used this eye technique to fight the first Hokage..."

Tsunade frowned: "As far as I know, after Uchiha Madara, no Uchiha clan has Mangekyō, right?"

"Where did this guy come from?"

"There are still some Uchiha clans who hide their power, but this is not right..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were solemn: "I am afraid there are other hidden secrets in this matter."

"It may not have anything to do with the Uchiha clan of the village."

Hoshita Shuichi pretended to be surprised: "Mangekyo... then it seems that Obito has also opened the Mangekyō!"

Tsunade was shocked: "How is it possible?"

"I remember that kid opened the double magatama in the Land of Grass before, right?"

Hoshita Shuichi said: "Tsunade-sama, please don't underestimate Obito."

"Obito is kind by nature. Although he encounters many problems and has a cowardly side, his talent is not bad."

"You also know the conditions for opening and advancing the Sharingan, Lady Tsunade."

"And according to my speculation, Rin was captured by the Kiri Ninja and implanted with the Three-Tails, in an attempt to have Rin bring the Three-Tails back to the village and then make the Three-Tails go berserk."

"But it's obvious that this must be a specially arranged game."

"When Kakashi and Obito rescued Rin and were escaping, Kakashi was responsible for covering their retreat, but he could not stop so many Kiri Ninjas by himself, so Obito and Rin were caught up."

"Rin's heart was cursed and she couldn't kill herself, so in order to prevent the three-tailed beast from wreaking havoc on the village, she chose to die under Obito's kunai."

"According to my observation, Obito was secretly in love with Rin. It is not impossible for him to go directly from the Double Magatama to the Mangekyō with such stimulation because his cherished companion and beloved died in his own hands."

"That's why Obito was able to take care of all the other Kiri Ninjas and put Kakashi to sleep."

"And the Three Magatama Sharingan is not enough to do that."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "So, the one who holds the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan is targeting Obito."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "Based on the current information, it should be Obito."

"Obito probably left on his own initiative. I'm afraid his character has changed drastically."

Tsunade looked serious: "Does this mean there are two beings like Uchiha Madara?"

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "Not only that, there is another discovery."

"The guy who controls the curse has the power of the first generation cells!"

"What?"

Tsunade and Sarutobi Hiruzen exclaimed at the same time.

Then Tsunade was extremely angry: "That bastard Orochimaru..."

The first person Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of was Danzo, but he immediately rejected it.

He knew Danzo, and there was no way Danzo would do such a thing.

If it was for Uchiha Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan, Danzo's method would probably be more direct.

"It's not Orochimaru..."

Hoshita Shuichi: "That guy's use of the first generation cells has surpassed Orochimaru."

Tsunade's face was grim: "Who could that be?"

"Who else in the ninja world knows so much about my grandfather's cells?"

"Also, what is that person's purpose?"

"The purpose of designing Uchiha Obito was to open his eyes, but he didn't take his eyes away directly. What's the purpose?"

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head pretending not to know.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of the Nine-Tails, and said in a deep voice: "Shuichi, it seems that we need to speed up the Tailed Beast Plan and let Kushina master the power of the Nine-Tails as soon as possible."

Hoshita Shuichi asked knowingly: "Is it for the Nine-Tailed Beast?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen explained: "The Mangekyō Sharingan can control the Nine-Tails. Back then, Uchiha Madara used the Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails and fought against the First Generation."

"Two pairs of Mangekyōs, and that illusion you mentioned that can reverse life and death, we have to be on guard."

Tsunade said: "Rin is not dead, so it should be possible to save Uchiha Obito, right?"

"Maybe we can get some information then."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "But we have to prepare for the worst."

"I will transfer Minato back from the front line."

"And Shuichi, you need to be prepared. In order to end the war with the Iwagakure as soon as possible, I'm afraid we will have to return the Four-Tails."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded, then pretended to hesitate and said: "This matter of the Uchiha clan..."

"I suspect the guy I fought was collecting the Three Magatama Sharingan."

Sarutobi Hiruzen listened and pondered for a moment, then said, "Shuichi, you can tell the story!"

"You, Shisui, and Obito are all good friends, so maybe it would be more appropriate."

Tsunade curled her lips upon hearing this.

Ultimately, it comes down to a lack of trust between the two sides.

Sarutobi Hiruzen pretended not to see Tsunade's expression, and asked Hoshita Shuichi: "Shuichi, you left a shadow clone just now, were you guarding against something?"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "The opponent's intelligence and invasion capabilities are very strong, otherwise it would be impossible to control the Kiri Ninja."

"Besides, this reminds me of the time when I felt I was being watched during the battle with the Suna Ninja in the River Country."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's scalp felt slightly numb, and he immediately said, "I will order the barrier squad and the perception ninjas to conduct a thorough search!"

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "Ordinary perception ninjutsu may not be enough, otherwise Asuka-sister Kagura's heart eye would be enough."

"Minato-sensei and I are not bad at perceiving things either."

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt increasingly heavy-hearted.

Tsunade also had a gloomy face.

"That'll be it for now!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said a little tiredly.

…

After leaving the Hokage Building, Hoshita Shuichi suddenly said to Tsunade: "Lady Tsunade, it seems that we need to speed up our research."

Tsunade frowned: "You can't speed it up just because you say so."

Hoshita Shuichi smiled, then asked seriously: "Master Tsunade, what do you think about me fusing the cells of the first generation?"

Tsunade was stunned, silent for a moment, then shook her head: "It's too dangerous."

"Besides, it's not your turn to take risks. There are old men above you, people like Danzo, Jiraiya, and Minato."

"You don't have to feel too stressed. You can kill that mysterious man now. Ten years later, he will be no match for you."

Hoshita Shuichi laughed when he heard it, and then said: "Directly fusing the first generation cells is indeed not my style."

"So, we have to master the secrets of primary cells!"

"And go one step further."

With the cheat in hand, he has enough confidence!"Lady Tsunade, I'm leaving first. See you at the experimental base tonight!"

Having said that, the person disappeared.

Tsunade stood there for a moment, then curled her lips and said, "You little brat, you're talking so passionately, but it's all empty talk!"

…

In the Uchiha clan's territory, after sensing Uchiha Shisui's chakra, Hoshita Shuichi directly used Flying Thunder God to teleport over.

At this time, Uchiha Shisui was feeding crows. When Hoshita Shuichi appeared beside him, he immediately sensed something and smiled without turning his head, "Shuichi, how come you have time to come here?"

"Important things."

Hoshita Shuichi said: "I am here on the orders of the Third Hokage. I need you, Shisui, to introduce me to the chief of the Fugaku clan."

Uchiha Shisui immediately became serious after hearing this, put down the bird food in his hand, and nodded: "I understand."

"Then wait a moment, Shuichi. I'll be back soon."

After saying this, Uchiha Shisui disappeared.

A moment later, Uchiha Shisui came back and brought Hoshita Shuichi to Uchiha Fugaku's house, and then saw a little kid in the corridor.

"Shuichi, this is the clan leader's son, his name is Itachi."

Uchiha Shisui introduced with a smile.

Uchiha Itachi heard the voice and immediately looked up and smiled: "Brother Shisui!"

Shouting, Uchiha Itachi ran over with his short legs.

Uchiha Shisui leaned over and pointed a finger at Uchiha Itachi's forehead: "I have to go see your father now. I will accompany you later."

"And this is my good friend Hoshita Shuichi, you can call him Brother Shuichi!"

Uchiha Itachi bowed politely: "Brother Shuichi, I am Uchiha Itachi!"

Hoshita Shuichi smiled and leaned over to touch Uchiha Itachi's little head: "Hello, I'm Hoshita Shuichi, nice to meet you!"

At this time, Uchiha Mikoto came out, and first bowed slightly to Hoshita Shuichi, and then shouted: "Itachi, don't disturb your father's guests!"

"It's mother!"

As he said this, Uchiha Itachi bowed to Hoshita Shuichi and Uchiha Shisui, then turned around and ran away.

Hoshita Shuichi first returned a salute to Uchiha Mikoto, then followed Uchiha Shisui into the living room and met Uchiha Fugaku.

After greeting each other and sitting down, Uchiha Fugaku asked, "Shuichi-kun, I wonder what secret order the Sandaime has?"

Hoshita Shuichi said: "It's not that the Third Hokage has any secret orders, but I came here for Obito."

"Obito?"

Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui were both a little surprised, and then their hearts sank.

"Shuichi-kun, could it be that Obito..."

Uchiha Fugaku asked.

Hoshita Shuichi immediately said: "No, Obito should be fine."

"Obito and his team were ambushed by the Kiri Ninja in the southern battlefield. Nohara Rin died and Obito disappeared."

"And according to the situation on the battlefield, Nohara Rin died at the hands of Obito. Obito probably activated his Mangekyō Sharingan at the time."

Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui were both shocked when they heard this.

"So, did Uchiha Obito defect?"

Uchiha Fugaku felt something was wrong.

"No."

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "The Kiri Ninja implanted the Three-Tails into Nohara Rin's body. She voluntarily died at the hands of Obito in order to protect the village."

"There is a hidden story behind this matter. When I arrived at the battlefield, I was ambushed by a mysterious person. That person had a three-magatama Sharingan and used the eye technique Susanoo that only the Mangekyō Sharingan can use."

Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but exclaimed: "What?"

At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku was sweating coldly on his back.

He almost thought that Hoshita Shuichi was cheating him!

But this matter...does it mean that they suspect Uchiha of betraying the village?

Looking at the serious and moving Uchiha Fugaku, Hoshita Shuichi had already made a judgment in his mind and continued, "Patriarch Fugaku, the mysterious man I saw was always showing the three-magatama Sharingan."

"When I killed him, his body disappeared like a dream bubble, and he was restored to his original state in another place, and one of his eyes was blinded."

Although it involved the secret of Uchiha, Uchiha Fugaku knew that if he covered it up at this moment, it would only make people more suspicious.

Moreover, Hoshita Shuichi was obviously here to obtain information on behalf of the Third Generation.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and Uchiha Fugaku said in a deep voice: "This should be the forbidden technique of our clan, Izanagi!"

"The ultimate illusion that can reverse life and death at the cost of losing light forever!"

"Shuichi-kun, according to what you said, the mysterious man opened the Mangekyō, but he probably didn't use his Sharingan, but someone else's transplanted Sharingan."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded and pretended to be amazed: "Izanagi, I didn't expect there is such an ultimate illusion. It seems that my deduction was correct."

"So, this time I came here to verify some things and to remind Patriarch Fugaku that someone is trying to seize the Uchiha clan's three-magatama Sharingan."

"Especially now that they have two pairs of Mangekyō, Obito should have taken the initiative to leave with that mysterious man."

Uchiha Fugaku looked solemn: "I understand, thank you Shuichi-kun!"

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "Patriarch Fugaku is too polite. Not to mention that Shisui and I are good friends, the Uchiha clan is also part of the village."

Uchiha Fugaku said in a deep voice: "The Uchiha clan will definitely find that mysterious man and bring back Obito!"

"Recently, many members of the clan have lost their Sharingan in the Iwagakure battlefield. Now it seems that it was not done by the Iwagakure, but most likely by the mysterious man that Shuichi-kun met."

"Also, Uchiha Yuu, who possessed the three-magatama Sharingan, disappeared, and even his body has not been found."

Uchiha Yu?

Hoshita Shuichi's eyes narrowed: "I see, that's how it is. The familiar chakra I sensed at that time..."

He speculated that it was White Zetsu who interfered with his perception, preventing him from immediately identifying it as Uchiha Yu.

"So, it was Uchiha Yu who opened the Mangekyō and betrayed the village?"

Uchiha Fugaku thought the mysterious man was Uchiha Yu.

Hoshita Shuichi said: "No, the one who left with Obito should be Uchiha Yu. The mysterious man who fought with me is someone else. His chakra is not familiar to me. He is not from the village."

This sentence made Uchiha Fugaku secretly relieved, and he thought: "Could it be the Uchiha bloodline that was lost in the past?"

Hoshita Shuichi said: "No matter who they are, they have bad intentions towards us."

"Patriarch Fugaku must be careful!"
