Bab 150: **Chapter 150: Why Are You Not Sick?**
After Shisui confirmed that there were no issues with Obito's health, Reiki looked puzzled. Under his system's scan, Obito showed no signs of any "illness" or residual effects from awakening his Sharingan. *How could he not be affected at all?*
"Something wrong, Reiki?" Shisui noticed Reiki's expression and asked.
"It's nothing serious," Reiki replied quickly. "But could you step out for a moment? I want to talk to Obito alone."
Shisui nodded and disappeared quietly, leaving Reiki with Obito.
"Boss, what did you want to tell me?" Obito asked eagerly. "I was thinking of finding Kakashi and the others to show off my new Sharingan!"
Before Reiki could answer, he responded with a quick punch to Obito's head.
"Ow!" Obito cried, clutching the large bump that appeared almost instantly. The system chimed, notifying Reiki of the injury.
*Good, the system's working fine,* Reiki thought, relieved. *So Obito really wasn't sick.*
"Boss, why'd you hit me?" Obito asked, his face a picture of hurt and confusion.
"Think about it, Obito," Reiki scolded. "A strong ninja doesn't immediately show off his power. True strength is shown in confidence, in knowing your own limits and not needing to flaunt it. Do you see Kakashi or Gai boasting about their skills?"
Obito nodded, rubbing his head. "Got it, Boss. So, what was it you wanted to tell me?"
"That was it," Reiki said, reaching out to heal the bump on Obito's head with his chakra. As he worked, he ran a scan again, confirming there was still no issue with Obito's health. *Strange. Why didn't that strange power appear with Obito's Sharingan?*
"Alright, go take a break," Reiki told him. "You'll need to train hard to keep improving. I know you can surpass Kakashi and Gai."
Obito, still lost in the excitement of his newly awakened Sharingan, nodded and left the courtyard.
After Obito was gone, Shisui reappeared beside Reiki. "Did you find anything?" he asked, having observed Reiki's strange reaction earlier.
"There might be something odd," Reiki admitted, but shook his head. "Then again, I can't say for sure."
Shisui looked puzzled. "So… no actual findings?"
Reiki shrugged, but he still had doubts. "Anyway, let me know if you notice anything else unusual," Shisui said. "I'll be leaving on a mission tomorrow with some others from the clan, so I'll be gone for a bit."
"Stay safe," Reiki replied, smiling.
"When I'm back, dinner's on me!" Shisui waved, leaving with a bright smile.
…
That evening, Shizune brought in their meal, looking at the table set for two. "Brother, you didn't invite them to stay for dinner?" she asked, a bit disappointed.
"Oops, I didn't think of it," Reiki admitted. "But don't worry; they wouldn't mind."
They ate in comfortable silence, but Reiki's thoughts kept drifting back. *Why didn't any strange power show up when Obito awakened his Sharingan?* His main reason for initiating this training was to observe if the strange energy that appeared with new power came from within Obito or entered him from outside. But Obito's Sharingan activation had shown no such signs.
*Maybe it's just something that only appears under intense emotion,* he reasoned. "We'll just have to wait for Shisui to return and test it with someone else."
With that, Reiki set aside his thoughts and focused on his chakra refinement for the evening.
…
Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office, Danzo addressed Sarutobi Hiruzen with a grim look.
"Hand him over to me," Danzo said firmly. "I can ensure he won't say anything."
With Tsunade actively seeking Kato Dan's whereabouts, the search was growing; hundreds of ninjas were now involved. If Kato Dan were found, chaos would break out in Konoha, and secrets could come to light that would destabilize the leadership.
Koharu spoke up. "Danzo's curse seal is quite effective. Hiding Kato Dan isn't doing you any favors. He's a broken piece now. It's time to discard him."
Homura said nothing, but his silence indicated agreement. Once intended to manipulate Tsunade, Kato Dan had now become her mortal enemy. If left in place, he could become a much more dangerous liability.
