Capítulo 42: 42. Kakashi Being Targeted
The Uchiha clan defended Danzō so tightly that he had no way of attacking them. For many days in a row, he provided feedback points to Yagami on time every day, along with the points provided by the clan.
During the days when Konoha was corrupt, Yagami's pockets gradually swelled.
Of course, things like the Rinnegan and Sage Body weren't expected, but some Forbidden Techniques could be exchanged. So, when Flying Thunder God Technique was refreshed in the shop, it took 1 million feedback points to obtain it.
The reason Yagami was so fixated on the Flying Thunder God Technique was its convenience, especially for travel.
If we're talking about how much this technique would enhance Yagami's combat power, it wasn't actually substantial. With the Mangekyō Sharingan, he could adopt a more direct combat style without needing to rely on Flying Thunder God for flashy manoeuvres.
Besides, Yagami also understood that he didn't possess the battle intuition of Senju Tobirama or Namikaze Minato, so he couldn't utilize this technique to its fullest combat potential.
He primarily sought this technique because, in the original story, Terumi Mei arrived at the battlefield directly from the daimyo's position thanks to the combined efforts of the three Shiranui Genma.
As noted in the original story, the reason Shiranui Genma and the others needed three people to perform this was due to their lack of strength; it wasn't that this feat required three people universally.
After learning the Flying Thunder God, it could be said he could go anywhere in the ninja world—and at any time.
For example, previously, travelling to the Land of Water took three days with all his effort.
But with the Flying Thunder God, he could be in Konoha in the evening, reach Kirigakure by nightfall, and leisurely return to Konoha the next morning after spending time with Terumi Mei...
"Ugh! These feedback points are so hard to save, and they're spent all at once..."
Walking on his way to the ninja academy, Yagami couldn't help but sigh. Luckily, the system exchanges were perfected items; otherwise, it would have been too frustrating.
He recalled that the Second Hokage was a master of Flying Thunder God but was killed by Kinkaku and Ginkaku, which proved that although his Flying Thunder God was developed, it wasn't perfected like the Fourth Hokage's. Otherwise, the Second Hokage could have returned to Konoha directly and wouldn't have had to expose himself to cover the Third Hokage's retreat.
Seeing his seven-digit feedback points suddenly drop to four digits, Yagami sighed helplessly and exchanged for the daily random items.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a pair of Byakugan!]
[Mangekyō Sharingan detected; system merging, please wait...]
What the heck! Byakugan!
Is this something a random item can yield? Isn't it usually just a small amount of chakra or pupil power?
Feeling the warmth in his eyes, Yagami was shocked. Apparently, random items could work like probabilistic blind boxes!
Once the Byakugan fused, the first sensation was an expanded and clearer range of perception, including an area behind his head.
"Byakugan!"
Before, the changes brought by the Byakugan hadn't been activated. Now that he had it, he naturally wanted to experience its unique perspective.
Activating the Byakugan, Yagami's eyes didn't change as with the Hyūga clan; there were no prominent veins around his eye sockets, and even the eyeballs remained unchanged, appearing just like the usual Sharingan.
However, Yagami's perception was vastly different. He could now see farther and observe chakra flow, and his Sharingan abilities remained functional in this state.
Yagami took a sharp breath unexpectedly. As everyone knows, although the Sharingan is powerful, it lacks x-ray vision—but the Byakugan is different!
In other words, no one would suspect me if I stood next to the bathroom with the Sharingan activated...
"Bah bah bah! What am I thinking? How could I misuse the Byakugan like that? But then again, Gentle Fist is useless to me; these eyes…"
Suppressing his surprise at the random item, Yagami also realized that compared to the strength of his Mangekyō Sharingan, the Byakugan at this stage didn't add much aside from expanded perception.
"Huh! Is that Kakashi?"
Arriving at the gate of the ninja school, an Anbu figure appeared in his Byakugan's field of perception. The chakra fluctuation in his left eye was familiar to Yagami.
It was an Anbu member with a Sharingan—Kakashi, the famous fifty-fifty.
Yagami wasn't surprised to see Kakashi here; with Naruto at the academy, it was normal for Anbu to be watching over him, as he was Jinchūriki, after all.
But what surprised Yagami was that someone seemed to be watching Kakashi! A complete three-person team, no less.
"Byakugan!"
Activating his Byakugan to focus on the area, the three individuals in the distance became clear to Yagami. When he saw the forbidden seal runes flowing on their tongues, Yagami recognized them as members of Root.
So, Root was watching Kakashi. It seemed that the old dog Danzō, unable to make a move on the Uchiha clan, had shifted his attention to Kakashi's Sharingan.
Tsk tsk! I had thought about taking Obito's Sharingan back from Kakashi, maybe catching him off guard. But I didn't want to provoke the Third Hokage right now, so I let it be.
Unexpectedly, Danzō set his sights on Kakashi himself. After all these years, Danzō was finally doing something good for the Uchiha clan!
It was no secret that Kakashi possessed a Sharingan, so it was unsurprising for Danzō to consider targeting him.
After all, years ago, Danzō had sent Yamato, who later defected, to attack Kakashi. When the Third Hokage got involved, the outcome was that Yamato, then known as "A," defected from Root and joined Anbu, adopting the name Tenzo.
Kakashi remained in Anbu under the protection of the Third Hokage, forcing Danzō to back down. At the time, with the Uchiha still subdued, Danzō had many opportunities to acquire a Sharingan, so he wasn't overly concerned with Kakashi.
But now, with the Uchiha acting cautiously and Danzō guarding him like a dog, he had no chance to make a move. Fixating on Kakashi's Sharingan again was entirely within Danzō's character.
With this development, Yagami naturally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to retrieve Obito's eye… no, reclaim his clan's lost Bloodline Limit.
Thinking this, Yagami decided not to disturb Kakashi or Root but instead glanced through the window at Sasuke and Naruto. After all, he had promised Itachi he'd help look after Sasuke.
In the past, with Sasuke under the clan's care and Fugaku watching him, Yagami had kept his distance.
Now that Sasuke was attending the ninja school, Yagami had to make his presence known, sending a clear message to Konoha's leaders: Sasuke could attend the academy, but if anything happened to him, they'd better be prepared.
The ninja academy is primarily a benefit Konoha provides to civilian shinobi. After all, ninjas don't really need schools—they inherit ninjutsu and secret techniques from their clans.
Ninja children attend school partially to strengthen bonds with the next generation and partly because of Konoha's civilian shinobi support plan.
This initiative was started by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama. To promote the plan, he even encouraged his own clan, the Senju, to integrate with civilians.
However, when the Third Hokage assumed power and implemented the Hokage-root system with Danzō, the so-called civilian support plan changed entirely.
Many of Konoha's smaller ninja clans faded away as if the plan's goals had been met, while a few minor clans grew disproportionately…
