Chapter 22: Chapter 22
"So, is Orochimaru still running away?"
In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage listened to the whispered reports of Kakashi and the other anbu.
At this time, the Third Hokage were filled with five flavors. One of them was fortunate and a little lost. After all, the Third Hokage still couldn't bear to die. Orochimaru died. (EN: five flavors? Fortunate and lost? Hiruzen doesn't want to die? Orochi died? sorry y'all, I have no clue what this paragraph is trying to say at all)
"Okay, Understood. Everyone leave, except Jiraiya. I need to talk to you privately."
Upon hearing this, the Anbu immediately disperse from the Hokage's office.
"Old Man, what do you need me for?" Jiraiya said slyly.
With how normal Jiraiya appeared, the Third Hokage couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect Jiraiya to get over it so quickly. Afterall, the Old Man knew that when Jiraiya heard the news of Orochimaru's defection, Jiraiya rushed out like crazy.
"You took this easier than I expected. How did you get back up so quickly?" The Third Hokage could not help but ask curiously. (EN: in case this isn't obvious, Hiruzen is talking figuratively. How did Jiraiya recover from the shock of his teammate's betrayal is what he is asking.)
"Orochimaru has his own destiny and dreams. Since I know I can't stop him, naturally there is nothing between us to say." Jiraiya said casually, but only the Third Hokage can see that it is not as easy for Jiraiya as he said.
"Well, you saw the results yourself. What are you going to do next? Continue to travel around the world?"
"Naturally. I have to go all around the war for my research material." Jiraiya laughed, with a perverted grin on his face.
"You brat! Can't you stay here with me? I can use the help. Konoha is now a shadow of its former strength." The Third Hokage looked at Jiraiya with a glimmer of hope.
The Third Hokage had three disciples. Tsunade's heart has been broken, and suffering from hemophobia. If she cannot heal the scars in her heart, then life will unbearable to continue.
His most promising disciple, Orochimaru, is now on the wrong path and directly defected.
So, the only one left to help the Third Hokage is Jiraiya. Despite the fact that he looks unreliable, he turned out more reliable than anyone else.
Unfortunately, Jiraiya is destined to disappoint the Third Hokage.
"Sorry, Old Man, you know my character, I could never be bound to a single place for long." Jiraiya said with a slight apology.
The Third Hokage of eyes flashed a bit of disappointment. He sighed. Although he long expected this response, but when he actually got it, the Third Hokage was still inevitably slightly disappointed.
"Well, it seems that I still have to rely on my old bones." The Third Hokage said while sitting in his seat. At this moment, his figure seemed extremely lonely.
"Old Man, you don't have to be like this. New help and Asuma have already grown up. They will be excellent successors."
(The father of Konohamaru did not find the information, so I used the online saying that it was named Sarutobi Shinsuke.) (EN: huh? Has the illusive author graced us with his doctrine? Lol. I'm assuming 'new help' means Konohamaru's dad then.)
"Haha, the new help is okay. Asuma, that brat, has got me quite worried however." The Third Hokage said that he held his head. Asuma's rebelliousness has apparently given the Old Man quite the headache.
"haha, he's a kid in his rebellious stage. It's normal." Seeing the Third Hokage rack his brains trying to deal with his son, Jiraiya didn't know why he suddenly felt oddly refreshed.
"You brat..." Look at Jiraiya taking pleasure at his expense, the Third Hokage didn't know whether to laugh or cry. (EN: AYYYY. There it is. Lol)
"Kakashi is also very good seedling. He will become a towering tree that supports Konoha in the future." Jiraiya turned around and suddenly spoke of Kakashi.
"Kakashi?" The Third Hokage brought his pipe to his mouth, took a breath, and blew out a puff of smoke. Slowly, he said: "This child has changed into a completely different person after Minato's death."
"Yes, I was very surprised when I saw him again. But, I'm glad of whatever happened to him. When I saw him, I noticed he found a solution to the problems of the heart. His future is boundless. Old Man, you have to cultivate him well. Even if it is just for the sake of making it up to Sakumo, you should train him."
The Third Hokage looked at Jiraiya deeply. He sighed and said: "The matter of Sakumo…"
"Forget it, Old Man. Sakumo was not a fool. He chose this road without regrets. Otherwise, with his srength, he wouldn't have given in. In the end, the Village owes him, and Kakashi should no longer be defeated by Konoha."
There was silence for a long time before the Third Hokage slowly started to talk: "I know, the son of Konoha's hero should be treated well. Rest assured; I will not mistreat Kakashi."
"That's good, I believe that Kakashi will become Konoha's new jade, Old Man. I have relied on you before. If there is something you need, let me know, I will come back."
The Third Hokage of laughed, said: "Haha, Sure. Just make sure that you don't come late when I call you."
"No way! Rest assured I will be here on time."
The two men looked at each other and laughed. Sure enough, this feeling of being concerned about each other. This type of familial concern feels really good.
At Kakashi's home, Kakashi's face is ugly as he sits on his bed. The sweat on his face rolls down his neck, soaking Kakashi's clothes.
Kakashi closed his eyes and looked to be in a lot of pain. Looking at him, it is obvious he is experiencing an excruciating headache.
In Kakashi's sea of consciousness, the power of the two souls is constantly colliding. One is the soul of the original Kakashi, which is white. The other soul is the reborn Kakashi which is black.
The fusion between the two has reached the final step. After this step, Kakashi's Spiritual Force will advance, and the Mangekyō Sharingan will be available.
But if he can't pass it, then both the original Kakashi and the current Kakashi will die.
Although the prospect of the Mangekyo Sharingan is huge, so is the risk as one wrong move means death! (EN: original "Cheng Strength is big, but if you don't, you will die!")
At this time, Kakashi felt that the Chakra within his body was rampaging uncontrollably, and the three black tomoes in his Sharingan turned more frantically and looked quite terrifying.
Kakashi couldn't help but release a whispered cry of pain. Fortunately, there was no one in Kakashi's home. Otherwise, if his cry of pain was heard, Kakashi's abnormality could not be explained.
The white soul and the black soul blended together, gradually blending into one, as if they were the Tai Chi Ying Yang, rotating each other, and finally forming a Ying Yang figure.
But soon, this Ying Yang quickly turned invisible, and the fusion of the two was perfectly completed at this moment.
The new soul is neither white nor black, but a silver-white. It's like the color of Kakashi hair.
An unspeakable and wonderful feeling filled Kakashi's mind. An unprecedented sense of clarity made Kakashi feel refreshed in his mind.
It seems that his intelligence has also risen a lot.
It seems that his understanding of ninjutsu has risen by 1 level at the very least! (EN: original "Originally, the understanding of Ninjutsu seems to be even higher on Level 1")
Kakashi's body has already been exhausted, and the painful struggle has made the whole sheets seem a little messy. His body is even more sweaty and dirty.
Slowly struggling to get up, Kakashi's body looks a little dangling.
However, the difference is that Kakashi at this time is feeling very relaxed.
Kakashi slowly opened his scarlet Sharingan.
As always, the three tomoes appear. But at this moment, three tomoe begin to frantically turn, gradually turning into a dart-like black pattern!
Mangekyō Sharingan!
