"However, the main reason is that I have become too strong."
"It's really boring."
"I once worked extremely hard to become strong and excellent."
"Aiming to surpass Kakashi."
"But now, I have gained power far beyond Kakashi's."
"However, I have lost Rin."
"This world is really meaningless."
Obito became somewhat disinterested.
He sat down on the spot, not far in front of the fallen Kakashi, looking up at the sky, lost in thought.
Scenes of being together with Kakashi and Rin appeared in Obito's mind.
"Rin, I miss you so much."
A sound of footsteps approached, bringing Obito back to reality.
Suddenly, an invisible vortex appeared, and the next moment, Obito's figure vanished.
"Kakashi!"
"Kakashi, what's wrong?"
A Konoha Ninja stepped forward, helping Kakashi up, checking that he was still breathing, and sighed in relief.
But soon, they noticed the empty eye socket of Kakashi.
"Kakashi's eye is sgone."
Kakashi regained consciousness.
A wave of pain came from his eye area.
In a very short time, the news of Kakashi losing his Sharingan spread throughout the Konoha camp.
Everyone was shocked.
Kakashi's performance after obtaining the Sharingan was evident to all.
Although the Sharingan certainly caused a burden to Kakashi,
its extremely strong dynamic vision and ability to see through the opponent's Chakra flow still provided Kakashi with significant advantages.
Many believed that Kakashi's strength increased after getting the Sharingan.
"Could it be the work of Hidden Mist Village?"
"Not long ago, Hidden Mist Village's Hoshigaki Kisame lost the Kiriichimonji. It has been discovered that it was likely taken by the rogue ninja Kaguya Neko from Hidden Mist Village."
"Without Kiriichimonji, Hoshigaki Kisame's strength dropped significantly, losing his position as the top young ninja."
"So, naturally, that position fell to Kakashi."
However, this was only what Konoha Ninja thought.
Other ninja villages like Hidden Cloud had different ideas.
"This caused a significant blow to the morale of Hidden Mist Village."
"Therefore, Hidden Mist Village has a reason to target Kakashi and take his Sharingan."
"So shameless!"
"They are having a tough time, so they use such despicable methods."
However, someone raised a question.
"If people from Hidden Mist Village had the opportunity to take Kakashi's Sharingan, why didn't they just kill Kakashi?"
When this question was raised, everyone started suspecting another party.
The Uchiha Clan.
When Kakashi first got the Sharingan, the Uchiha Clan protested.
The Uchiha Clan believed that the Sharingan should not be leaked to outsiders.
Only members of the Uchiha should use the Sharingan.
Even someone like Kakashi from Konoha couldn't.
When Kakashi was still in the medical unit, many from the Uchiha Clan approached him.
However, Minato stepped in and stopped the Uchiha Clan members.
The Uchiha Clan gave face to Minato.
Not only because Uchiha Mikoto was friends with Kushina Uzumaki and Fugaku had a good relationship with Minato, but also because Jiraiya and Hiruzen stood behind Minato.
On the surface, the Uchiha Clan couldn't make a move against Kakashi anymore.
But what about secretly?
Could it be that the Uchiha Clan acted in secret?
Taking advantage of Kisame losing Kiriichimonji to make everyone suspect Hidden Mist Village?
Fugaku, of course, denied such speculations. This wasn't something the Uchiha Clan did.
However, at this time, some arrogant, conceited, and extreme Uchiha members actually intensified the spread of these rumors.
"There's no evidence proving it was our Uchiha Clan, and you all talk so much crap."
"Even if it was our Uchiha Clan, so what?"
"Sharingan is originally something that belongs to our Uchiha Clan."
"Others are not qualified to touch it."
"Even if our Uchiha Clan takes back Kakashi's Sharingan, it's a reasonable thing."
Originally, under the mediation of Minato and Fugaku, the relationship between Uchiha and Konoha had eased to a certain extent.
But the sudden outbreak of this incident caused the relationship between the Uchiha Clan and Konoha to deteriorate to a much worse level than before, to the point that even Minato and Fugaku couldn't control it.
Fugaku frowned.
"These clan members are too foolish!"
"If this continues, the conflict between Uchiha and the village will reach an unknown level of intensity."
"I'm afraid it will be like the Kaguya Clan and Hidden Mist Village."
"All my previous efforts are all in vain."
"Being the Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan is too difficult..."
Fugaku sighed.
"Some clan members complain about me, but how do they know the difficulties involved? Who can guarantee that they would do better in my position?"
"If it weren't for me, the conflict between the Uchiha Clan and the village would have erupted long ago."
"Elder Setsuna, Elder Yashiro..."
"If only time could pass faster, these old radical will disappear and be replaced by the growing Shisui and Itachi."
"They will surely become the assistance I need to completely stabilize the Uchiha Clan's situation."
...
Hokage Building.
Hiruzen looked in the direction of the Uchiha Compound.
"To be honest, it's unlikely to be Hidden Mist Village."
"Therefore, it's very likely that the Uchiha did it."
"To make a move against Kakashi at such a time."
"Do they still have the village in their hearts?"
Hiruzen withdrew his gaze.
"Minato, your proposed method ultimately doesn't work."
Hiruzen was dissatisfied with the Uchiha Clan.
But Danzo saw an opportunity to target the Uchiha Clan directly in this matter.
Unlike Hiruzen, Danzo's attitude was much more radical.
Even though Hiruzen was dissatisfied, he would at most suppress the Uchiha.
But Danzo genuinely wanted the Uchiha to perish.
As a disciple of Tobirama, Danzo's bias against the Uchiha surpassed even that of his teacher.
"These Uchiha people are truly evil!"
"Selfish and self-centered."
"For personal gain, they disregard the village."
"They even indirectly helped Hidden Mist Village."
"This is simply unforgivable!"
Shisui showed a painful expression.
"Why did things turn out this way?"
"Why did the clan choose this moment to make a move against Kakashi?"
"There were clearly better choices."
Since learning about the conflict between the Uchiha Clan and Konoha, Shisui had been trying to ease and resolve this conflict, constantly thinking and seeking solutions.
But now, Shisui had no ideas, and the relationship between Uchiha and Konoha had worsened.
"Could it be that the Uchiha Clan will ultimately follow the path of the Kaguya Clan of Hidden Mist Village?"
"Or will it become even worse?"
Kakashi, who had lost his Sharingan, withdrew from the battlefield and was sent back to Konoha's medical unit.
Professional medical ninjas treated Kakashi, and they selected a suitable eye from the fallen on the battlefield to transplant into Kakashi.
It wouldn't have the abilities of the Sharingan, but having two eyes is always more convenient than one.
...
Kakashi lay on the hospital bed, recalling the events.
"Who was that person?"
"Why did they he familiar?"
On the other side, Fuguki looked at Kisame in front of him.
"Kisame, you should return to the village for now."
"In your current state, you're temporarily unfit to stay on the battlefield."
"Coincidentally, on Konoha's side, Kakashi also lost his Sharingan."
"Your departure from the battlefield won't have much impact on the situation."
"Go back to the village, adjust your mindset, and talk to Chief Uehara. When you've adjusted your mindset, return to the battlefield. By then, I believe you will be even stronger."
"Ninjato is indeed important, but Kisame, you are important too."
"Everyone knows what happened with losing the Ninjato, it's not your fault."
"Chief Uehara certainly won't blame you either."
"Maybe Chief Uehara will create a new Zanpakuto that suits you."
Kisame fell silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Alright."
...
...
War is cruel.
Some achieve great feats and become famous.
Others fall in the dirt, with no one even retrieving their bodies.
Initially, Kisame wielded Kiriichimonji, defeating Asuma and Kakashi with significant advantages, and participated in the operation to defeat Orochimaru.
This earned him the title of the top young talent.
But losing Kiriichimonji affected Kisame's mindset.
On the other hand, Kakashi also lost his Sharingan so he too returned to Konoha for treatment at the medical unit.
Both of them temporarily withdrew from the battlefield.
For a while, debates about the younger generation geniuses continued unabated.
The strength of the Golden Generation is beyond doubt. However, the situation has not changed much.
In comparison, discussions about the Silver Generation undoubtedly carry more weight.
And such discussions also stimulate the radical ambitions of some young ninjas.
They are more willing to go to the front lines, engage in battles, and demonstrate their abilities.
"Father-sama, I want to go to the front lines."
Kitsuchi approached Onoki.
Onoki glanced lightly at Kitsuchi.
In truth, Onoki was not entirely satisfied with this child.
His mentality, efforts, spirit... all were not a problem.
But there was one issue: lack of talent.
This issue was fatal.
As a result, Onoki could not possibly pass on the position of Tsuchikage to Kitsuchi in the future.
"Kitsuchi, are you influenced by those remarks?"
"Father, I want to prove myself."
"Just relying on Earth Release?"
Kitsuchi's expression faltered for a moment, but quickly his eyes regained determination.
"Yes, father, relying solely on Earth Release, I believe I can become an extremely powerful ninja."
"No bloodline limit, no ninja sword, no Secret Jutsu, I will create my own Secret Jutsu."
Onoki raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Very well, then go ahead. Since you've decided to go, don't disappoint me."
"Yes, father-sama."
...
Hidden Sand Village.
A young man practiced diligently with Wind Release, sending out blades of wind that cut through the target on the opposite side, leaving it riddled with holes, on the verge of collapse.
"Sasori Senpai has disappeared."
"Maki is not very useful."
"Among the young generation of Hidden Sand Village, the only one who can step forward is me, Baki."
"I must work harder."
Only Darui from Hidden Cloud Village seemed a bit lazy.
But under the Raikage's arrangements, he also arrived at the front lines.
However, in terms of competition within the ninja villages, undoubtedly the fiercest is Hidden Mist Village.
Ameyuri has already changed battlefields, shifting from the Hidden Sand's battlefield to the Konoha Ninja's battlefield.
Ameyuri has adapted to the situation of war.
Compared to the Hidden Sand, Ameyuri is more eager to kill Konoha Ninja.
Especially the ninjas of the Hyuga Clan.
In addition, the young ninjas of Hidden Sand Village really don't have much to offer.
Defeating them won't gain much fame.
...
"Zudomon's Hammer is finally nearing completion."
Soma wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the metal in front of him.
"Just one last round of forging to go."
