Koharu Utatane, that old witch, is truly irritating. Kaito originally thought he wouldn't have to deal with them so soon.
After all, he had just taken down Danzo, and let the Third Hokage and his interest group take a significant blow.
Even if the other side would keep their promise to work, the hatred they harbor for him must have already reached its limit.
As a result, they wouldn't break their promises to Kaito, but they would make it hard for him in every way outside of those agreements.
And the major families had already had their fill in this incident, all digesting their respective spoils.
Therefore, they wouldn't risk offending the Hokage's party for Uchiha, a person they had just included in their circle.
Especially considering whether Uchiha had truly been accepted into their circle is still up for debate, since only Nara Shikaku of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio seems to accept him, while the attitudes of the others remain unknown.
"It seems that my plan to have these troublemakers produce things, engage in side businesses such as producing kunai, was indeed correct."
Kaito rubbed his brow. He had always understood the importance of money, and now his understanding was even deeper.
Anyway, when dealing with people like Hiruzen Sarutobi, it's like eating sunflower seeds in a toilet - how wide can you open your mouth?
The discomfort of dealing with Sarutobi and his ilk was already as unbearable as being in a toilet, and asking them for help would be impossible. Kaito might as well find his own solution.
"In any case, let's take this matter slow. But what needs to be done must be done. If nothing else, get them to start making daily necessities directly.
At least that can help offset some household expenses. It's much better than leaving them idle, or even having the time to exchange experiences and exercise."
Kaito rubbed his head and finally gave this command. Both Fugaku and Shisui could only agree.
If these problems hadn't been discovered, it would be fine. But now that the issues have been identified, it would be truly untenable not to do something.
As for the troubles, there's nothing to be done. If there are difficulties, try to overcome them. What else can be done?
Kaito could see their difficulties, but there was no way around it, unless he planned to use the family's budget for the security department.
However, such a thing is obviously impossible. The security department is Uchiha's security department, yes, but it is actually affiliated with Konoha.
Besides, the family needs money, too. Kaito doesn't plan to use the family's money to save this side.
Therefore, the difficulties and troubles will ultimately fall on them.
Fortunately, the three of them are mentally prepared, and they are all people with a strong inner resolve. They can pull through with persistence.
"Let's leave the matter of the security department for now. Although it's giving you both a headache, ultimately, we will have a good future."
Kaito pondered for a moment, then revealed a smile. He made a hand signal to Shisui, which made Shisui pause.
With a slight nod, Shisui quickly made a series of hand seals, and the next moment, a soundproof barrier appeared inside the office.
"Clan leader, this is....."
Uchiha Fugaku looked a bit puzzled at the scene. Having been on the battlefield, he naturally understood the meaning of the hand signals.
He just didn't understand why they were being so cautious in the security department.
"The main issues have been discussed, so now we need to talk about some other equally important matters.
And unless a new Mangekyō Sharingan appears, these discussions are not for outsiders."
This time, Kaito's expression became very serious, combined with the 'new Mangekyō Sharingan' he mentioned.
Immediately, both Shisui and Fugaku realized that their following conversation would probably be of extreme importance.
Clearly, they were about to discuss issues related to the Mangekyō level, which certainly wouldn't be suitable for others to overhear.
The power of the Mangekyō is currently the strongest within the clan, and the difficulty of acquiring such power is truly unimaginable.
Among the three of them, two have truly experienced such heart-wrenching feelings, gone through the sense of helplessness and despair.
It's questionable whether anyone else could withstand such feelings, so it's truly miraculous that the clan has three pairs of Mangekyō.
Moreover, without the presence of the three Mangekyō.
During this standoff with Hiruzen Sarutobi, Sarutobi wouldn't have listened to their explanations and might have ordered an attack right away.
Such power has already created a gap from other Sharingan. Even if ordinary Sharingan users were to listen, it wouldn't be of any practical use.
"I understand, clan leader." Shisui and Fugaku exchanged a glance, then immediately replied, "We will not speak of today's matters to anyone."
"Don't be nervous, we are all Mangekyō Sharingan users. I believe you can sense something as well."
Kaito spoke with a smile, then he took out two scrolls from his ninja tool pouch.
Opening the scrolls, the word 'eye' was written in the center of one, and 'hundred' in the other.
The appearance of these two scrolls made both Shisui and Fugaku somewhat curious, but then Kaito spoke, unsealing the 'eye' scroll as he did.
"We all know, the Mangekyō is a pair of dangerous eyes. It not only poses a danger to our enemies but also to ourselves.
Long-term usage poses unimaginable harm to our eyes. However, this isn't something that cannot be changed.
I remember the first method was used by Uchiha Madara, which is to use the eyes of a relative."
With that said, a puff of smoke appeared, and an eyeball emerged on top of the scroll.
As the eyeball emerged, Fugaku and Shisui immediately understood whose it was.
They haven't forgotten that when Kaito dealt with the nameless man, he removed one of his eyes. Evidently, this eye belonged to that man!
Kaito picked up the eye and handed it to Uchiha Fugaku: "Though it's only one, I think it will be useful. This eye is now yours."
After saying this, Kaito directly handed the eye to Uchiha Fugaku, then shifted his gaze to the other scroll.
"Besides this, I've been pondering what could reduce the Mangekyō's consumption of chakra.
It wasn't until the man who caused the Nine-Tails incident eight years ago appeared that I realized the answer might be found in him.
Eight years ago, he controlled the Nine-Tails and could remain untraceable, all while using his own jutsu.
But after eight years, his eyes didn't seem to have any issues, which piqued my curiosity. It wasn't until I chopped off his arm that I discovered something."
"Bam!"
With a puff of smoke, a pale arm appeared before the three of them. As soon as the arm appeared, Shisui and Fugaku noticed at once.
This arm was completely formed from a kind of white flesh, even bone was not present inside!
"This arm is unique, its vitality unimaginable. Even when I severed it, it showed no signs of problem.
Moreover, the man's entire torso was made of this white substance, which led me to contemplate..."
Kaito glanced at the two, then continued with a smile.
"Perhaps because of this white flesh, that man could use his Mangekyō without restrictions!
So, I plan to establish a laboratory, a laboratory led by the three of us.
And the purpose of this lab will be to use the material from this arm to unlock the limitations of the Mangekyō!"
Upon saying this, Kaito paused for a moment before his expression turned serious.
"Gentlemen, this is an opportunity for us, an attempt and breakthrough for our successors.
Are you willing to take a risk with me, to join me in unlocking the limitations of the Mangekyō?"
"We are willing, clan leader!"
