The country of whirlpool.
The rebuilt Uzumaki clan.
Kakashi woke up from the darkness.
When he opened his eyes, he was in a daze. Chakra was consumed too much. At the same time, because the Sharingan consumed a lot of energy, he felt that his limbs were weak and weak, and his body ached.
"Am I not dead?"
The physical discomfort made Kakashi realize that he was still alive. He subconsciously rubbed the side of the bed and found that the White Fang dagger was hanging on the wall opposite the end of the bed.
The last memory in my mind was of Lin, the White Fang dagger piercing Lin's heart.
"Lin!"
Kakashi struggled hard, trying to get up, but his body couldn't use the strength at all.
At this time, the door to the room was pushed open, and Bai Yu walked in. Seeing Kakashi struggling to get up, he chuckled and said, "Your body can't withstand the torture now, so lie down quickly."
"Senior Bai Yu?" Kakashi was stunned for a moment: "Why am I here? Did you save me? Where is Lin? How is she...?!"
Bai Yu said: "You are lucky, you happened to meet 'me' passing by. Your injury is not serious, it is just excessive energy consumption. You can recover after a few days of rest.
As for Lin, her injury cannot be healed in a few days. Your knife stabbed her heart firmly.
If I had arrived a minute later, she might be dead by now. "
Bai Yu originally planned to meet Kakashi after meeting Orochimaru, but unexpectedly came back to the Uzumaki clan due to something unexpected.
So he controlled the incarnation of Kodama to leave the Kingdom of Oni. While doing a bounty mission with Kakuzu, he went to find Kakashi. Unexpectedly, he found a large number of Kirigakure ninjas tying up Nohara Rin, so he followed them.
He discovered that Nohara Rin's body actually had an extremely strong energy field reaction, and her chakra intensity had far exceeded that of a normal Kage-level expert, while Nohara Rin's original strength was only at the level of a chunin.
Bai Yu originally thought that with Kakashi's current strength, he should be able to deal with dozens of Kirigakure ninjas, so he didn't take action at first.
Unexpectedly, after he transplanted the Sharingan, his endurance would be so stretched that it would stop working after a few hits, and Nohara Rin would actually hit Kakashi's ninja sword by herself.
When the Kodama incarnation rescued Nohara Lin and sent her treatment to the Uzumaki clan, Bai Yu discovered that a seal had been set on her heart. More importantly, there was a sealing barrier on her lower abdomen, and the tailed beast was sealed inside. !
It has to be said that after transplanting Hashirama cells and white biological cells, the incarnation of the wood spirit learned the immortal skills of Shigulin, and his level of physical treatment even vaguely surpassed Bai Yu's, precisely because he continued to use powerful immortals. He used chakra to treat Nohara Rin's wounds, so she didn't die.
After all, for most ninjas, a heart injury is a fatal injury.
"Senior Bai Yu, are you saying that Lin is not dead?!" Kakashi looked at Bai Yu with surprise. Knowing the power of Bai Yu's medical ninjutsu, hope arose in his heart.
"Based on her physical condition, it is estimated that she will need several months of training." Bai Yu nodded: "It's just that the three tails were sealed in her body. As a Jinchuuriki, her physique is too ordinary. When she was seriously injured this time, fortunately, the tail The beast did not riot, otherwise no one would be able to save her.”
Bai Yu actually felt a little strange. Under normal circumstances, if the tailed beast was sealed, it would be as angry as the Nine-Tails. After all, they are all intelligent creatures. If they are locked in a cage, they will definitely resist.
Nohara Rin herself was of ordinary origin and had no special bloodline. She was just talented in medical ninjutsu, but she was very reluctant to be a jinchuriki.
While she was injured and comatose, if the Three Tails made a riot, she might be dead.
But the three tails were stunned that they didn't release any chakra during the whole process.
"What? The three tails are sealed in Lin's body?!" Kakashi was stunned.
Rin was captured by Kirigakure's ninja for less than half a day, so why did she become a three-tailed jinchuriki?
At this time, Kakashi suddenly reacted, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Did they actually..."
Kirigakure wanted to escort Lin to Konoha and then release the Three-Tails to cause disaster to Konoha.
So Lin is just a temporary container?
"Judging from your reaction, I should have guessed Kirigakure's purpose. To be honest, I also feel that this approach is quite outrageous. If the Kyuubi is released in Konoha, it may really bring huge losses to Konoha, but The three tails don’t seem to be very strong, so this approach feels a bit like a meat bun beating a dog and giving a tailed beast to Konoha Shiro.”
Bai Yu said.
He asked Jiuwei about it in the past few days. Jiuwei's description of Sanwei was very simple, just one sentence: Sanwei is very lazy. Every time I go to find it, it is either sleeping or getting ready to sleep.
This kind of Buddhist tailed beast is definitely not very powerful in combat.
Therefore, Kirigakure's action was very unreasonable, and Bai Yu was a little confused.
"It's okay Lin." Kakashi relaxed a little.
"No, she has something wrong." Bai Yu said seriously: "Kakashi, you only need to rest for a few days to recover, but as far as Konoha is concerned, Lin is dead, do you understand?"
"What?" Kakashi was stunned.
"With Lin's strength, she does not have any special bloodline, nor is she good at sealing techniques. Only by staying in the Uzumaki clan and following Kushina and me can she save the three tails and her own life.
If you return to Konoha, can you guarantee that the top management of Konoha will not replace the jinchuriki with a suitable person for the so-called safety of the village? "
Bai Yu explained.
Kakashi's face gradually darkened, it was indeed possible.
"I won't let the village do this! I promised Obito that I would protect Lin!"
Facing Kakashi's firm words, Bai Yu chuckled, with a hint of ridicule: "Just you? Without me, you would have gone to see Sakumo-senpai now. Lin still died with her own hands in order not to drag you down. Under your knife. Keeping promises is a beautiful quality, but do you have the ability?
Just like you were unable to save Sakumo-senpai who was slandered by everyone and had a death wish.
How much stronger are you now than before?
How dare you say such a certain thing so brazenly.
Are you prepared to rely on Namikaze Minato's relationship to possibly become the Fourth Hokage, or are you prepared to hope that the higher-ups in Konoha will show favor?
The decision-making power is in the hands of others, so what can you do? "
"I..." Kakashi clenched his hands and his body trembled slightly. Bai Yu's words deeply hurt his heart, whether it was his father's suicide, Obito's death, or Lin, he All seemed powerless.
Bai Yu continued: "If Kirigakure uses the truce as a bargaining chip and wants the Three-Tails back, do you think Konoha will agree? Maybe not, maybe it will.
However, if the Kirigakure Village wants Lin by name, regardless of his life or death, do you think Konoha will sacrifice an insignificant chuunin for the sake of peace.
Anyway, as long as the three tails in her body are extracted, Konoha can fill the gap left by the tailed beasts, and at the same time solve diplomatic incidents, killing two birds with one stone.
At that time, we can tell the outside world that Lin died because she could not bear the tailed beast riot. Do you think this kind of scene will not happen?
All in all, you are just a jounin of Konoha, and you are humble, but what can you do? ! "
Kakashi fell silent.
What Bai Yu said is absolutely correct.
Originally it was just for political struggle, to ensure Orochimaru's ascendancy, the third generation was able to sit back and watch others pour stigma and dirty water on his father.
Now in order to completely end the three wars, what does Lin's life mean to the village's senior officials?
The Will of Fire is adaptable to Konoha now.
"Mark my words. You and Lin were attacked by Kirigakure. Lin has died in the battle. Don't say anything about me, otherwise you will be kicked out of the political center.
Even if your teacher Minato Namikaze becomes the Fourth Hokage, for a long time in the future, the real power will be held by the senior officials headed by the Third Hokage.
Power is such a thing. Once they enjoy the huge benefits it brings, few people can let it go. "
Bai Yu said solemnly, then suddenly changed the topic and smiled: "Speaking of which, I personally hope that Danzo will become the Fourth Hokage.
Kakashi said solemnly: "I understand!"
"Don't be so serious. Say the bad things first, and then the good things will follow. At your age, I'm not as strong as you, so you don't have to worry. The point is to keep making progress." Bai Yu continued: "Now your writing The chakra is clearly hindering your progress, so I can probably give you two suggestions.
One is to remove the Sharingan. With my current level of medical ninjutsu, I can cultivate another eye for you. As long as you concentrate on practicing swordsmanship and breathing techniques, you will be able to surpass Sakumo sooner or later.
As for the second option, that is to temporarily seal the Sharingan. If you do not seal the Sharingan, your growth will definitely be affected, and your physique, chakra, and energy will be dragged down by the Sharingan. "
"This Sharingan is Obito's relic. I want to use his eyes to witness the changes in Konoha." Kakashi said firmly.
"Then you should choose the second one." Bai Yu nodded and said: "According to my expectation, you should also choose the second one. And in fact, I am more inclined for you to choose the second one. The upper limit of ordinary people's talent is Shadow level. Going higher still depends on the power of blood."
With close range perception, Bai Yu can discover that the energy field emitted by Kakashi's Sharingan is more than ten times more powerful than the ordinary three magatama sharingan!
But when Kakashi was unconscious, Bai Yu checked and found that his Sharingan evolved from double magatama to triple magatama, not the Mangekyo Sharingan.
For this situation, his other incarnation, Uchiha Issei, could not find the reason in the Uchiha clan's classics.
So Bai Yu wanted to find out.
If Kakashi gave up his Sharingan and gave it to him directly, Bai Yu would be happy.
However, his choice to keep Obito's Sharingan was also within Bai Yu's expectation.
"Senior Bai Yu, even if you have a good relationship with my father, why are you willing to do this for me? I think with my ability, I'm afraid I can't help you with anything." Kakashi was silent for a long time and said Although he knew that saying this might be a bit hurtful, if he didn't say it, he would be very confused.
"Because I want to see if your sword can cut through the thorns of Konoha. I want to see how far you can go." Bai Yu said with a smile: "Is this reason enough?"
Kakashi: "Thank you!"
"Don't thank me in a hurry. I might as well help you solve the Sharingan problem! Currently, the only ones I can think of that are suitable for sealing the Sharingan are the Four Symbols Seal and the Five Elements Seal. But whether it can be successful, I will It won't affect your chakra operation, I don't know yet. Besides, I still have some experiments that require your cooperation, so we can each get what we need."
Bai Yu waved his hand and said.
In fact, the reason why he helped Kakashi was not only because of Sakumo, but also because he liked the character Kakashi after reading the original work.
Of course, the most important thing is the power of emotions.
Although Kakashi looks cold on the outside, he is definitely not what he looks like on the inside.
The strong emotional power he was filled with at that moment had already explained everything to Bai Yu.
Charging the power of multiple emotions to 100% has only completed the first step of refining the "Emotional Rules".
But this first step is difficult to take.
Bai Yu needs all kinds of high-quality emotional power.
The emotional power that Kakashi currently contains can be ranked in the top five among the people Bai Yu has met.
And his strength is obviously not even at the shadow level.
So Bai Yu wanted to see what height Kakashi could reach and how much powerful emotional power it brought to him.
"I will fully cooperate." Kakashi responded. Bai Yu had a better relationship with him than the general master-student relationship. How could he be more than good and evil?
"You should have a good rest first. There is no rush to cooperate with the experiment. If you are hungry, just say hello and a servant will bring you food. I will leave first."
Bai Yu nodded slightly.
"Senior Baiyu, wait a moment." Kakashi called out quickly.
Bai Yu: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Kakashi: "I want to see Lin, is that okay?"
Bai Yu smiled slightly: "Of course, it's just that she's unconscious now. If you go to see her, she won't be able to respond to you."
"I want to see her." Kakashi said firmly.
"Okay." Bai Yu stepped forward and injected a stream of Yang Escape Chakra into Kakashi's body. At the same time, another stream of hot air entered his lower abdomen.
"Senior Bai Yu, this is..." Kakashi was stunned for a moment.
"This is the top-notch breathing method. You will gradually become familiar with it in the future." Bai Yu took his hand back and walked out of the room.
Kakashi regained some strength and followed.
After seeing that Lin's vital signs were stable in the special care unit of the Whirlpool Hospital, he returned to the room with peace of mind to recuperate.
...
"That child Lin is so pitiful."
In the room, Kushina leaned in Bai Yu's arms and murmured to herself.
Lin's experience reminded her of her early self, when she went to Konoha alone and became a jinchuriki.
Not every jinchūriki can reconcile with the tailed beasts.
For an ordinary girl like Lin, the fate of becoming a Jinchuuriki was too heavy.
"The Uzumaki clan will be her family from now on. Not only will she not be pitiful, but she will be happier than many people. Haven't you always liked her? Why don't you accept her as a disciple?" Bai Yu hugged Kushina. , smiled and said: "She was very organized when she was in school, and she will definitely be more than enough to be your assistant."
"Good suggestion!" Kushina's eyes lit up: "Last time, the Nine Lama said that the Eight-Tails was its younger brother, so the Three-Tails must also be its younger brother. If the Nine-Tails helps, it shouldn't be difficult for the Three-Tails and Lin to get along well, right? ?”
"That's...of course." Kyuubi said in the sealed space.
"Then I'll trouble you, Nine Lamas." Bai Yu asked with a smile on his face: "It shouldn't be like the Eight-Tails and won't give you this face, right?"
"How dare it?!" Kyuubi was furious and said with a slight lack of confidence: "Eight Tails was an accident that time..."
