Chapter 403 The Power of the Kaleidoscope

Shortly after the Konoha Crush, as the village was in dire need of rebuilding, Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, like Orochimaru before him, came to Kakashi's camp to recruit him.

Unlike the rogue ninja Orochimaru, Jiraiya was a formally employed member of the Konoha organization. Therefore, faced with the request from his elder and superior, Kakashi had no choice but to entrust the team's second-in-command, Naruto Uzumaki, to Jiraiya.

Later, two rogue ninjas belonging to the shady organization "Akatsuki" arrived in Konoha. One of them was Sasuke's older brother, Uchiha Itachi.

"Isn't the situation in Konoha in later generations far too chaotic?"

Looking at Itachi Uchiha's face on the screen, the Fourth Hokage, Minato, rubbed his forehead in pain.

He still had a lot of things to sort out before, and now another rogue ninja, Uchiha Itachi, has appeared.

What the hell is going on here?

What about Fugaku Uchiha?

What about the other members of the Uchiha clan?

Are all of you Uchiha dead? Even the young clan leader has become a rogue ninja, are you just going to stand by and do nothing?

If it weren't for his duty, the Fourth Minato would have really wanted to say: "I'm tired, let's just destroy it already."

"Third Hokage, is this the Konoha you longed for?"

The Fourth Minato felt indignant at the thought of the terrible state of Konoha in later generations.

Having only recently become Hokage, he didn't wield much real power.

Even the Anbu, which belonged only to the Hokage, was not given to him by the Third Hokage.

This forced him to promote Genma Shiranui, Raido Namiashi, and Iwashi, who were still Chunin at the time, to serve as his Hokage's guard.

It can be said that among all the Hokage, his Hokage Guard was the most shabby.

If the Third Hokage could improve Konoha, Minato wouldn't be so intolerant.

Anyway, the third generation is getting old, and he will hand over power to him sooner or later.

But when he saw that after he and Kushina died, the Third Hokage did not elect the Fifth Hokage but instead chose to return to office, making a mess of the village, Minato could not tolerate it.

"For the sake of Konoha, I need to find an opportunity to reclaim the power that rightfully belongs to me."

Accompanying Itachi Uchiha was Kisame Hoshigaki, one of the former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Their purpose in coming to Konoha was to arrest the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, namely Naruto Uzumaki, the second-in-command of the Technician Team.

However, Itachi and Kisame encountered two Konoha Jonin on patrol, Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai.

The two sides were about to fight at the slightest provocation, but Itachi and Kisame were so powerful that Asuma was no match for Kisame, and Kurenai was no match for Itachi. Soon after, both of them were defeated.

[At the critical moment, Kakashi arrived just in time, replicating Kisame's Water Shark Bullet to block the attack that Asuma was supposed to take. He then used his Water Clone to save Kurenai, instantly turning the situation into a three-on-two battle.]

[While this uploader has no intention of belittling Kurenai and Asuma's strength, the difference between Kisame and Itachi and Kurenai and Asuma is roughly equivalent to the difference between a college student and a high school student; the disparity in their demonstrated strength is indeed that significant.]

Faced with this unfavorable situation, Kakashi, well aware of the power of Itachi's Sharingan genjutsu, advised Asuma and Kurenai to close their eyes. Based on the famous saying that only magic can defeat magic, our Kakashi naturally believed that only the Sharingan could counter the Sharingan.

"Looks like Kakashi's going to suffer."

As a close friend of Fugaku, the Fourth Minato had a fairly deep understanding of the Sharingan.

He knew that, in addition to the three-tomoe Sharingan, the Sharingan could also evolve into the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Once it evolves into the Mangekyou Sharingan, it will be beyond the capabilities of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

Judging from the situation shown on the screen, Minato believed that Itachi must have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. Otherwise, no matter how weak Konoha was, Itachi with only three tomoe and a former member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist would not have been able to escape the village's encirclement.

Only the mysterious Mangekyou Sharingan could have allowed these two to disregard the Konoha ninja and come to the village to capture his son.

"Perfect, this battle might just let me witness the mysterious Mangekyou Sharingan."

[Theoretically, only the Sharingan can counter the Sharingan, but no one knows that Itachi, who outwardly possesses the three-tomoe Sharingan, has actually secretly evolved into the Mangekyou Sharingan.]

Next, Itachi used one of his Mangekyou Sharingan techniques, which was also a genjutsu: Tsukuyomi, allowing Kakashi's spirit to enter the world of Tsukuyomi.

[In the Tsukuyomi world, Itachi frantically stabbed Kakashi's body with his sword.]

When Kakashi came to his senses, he was already exhausted and in a state of collapse.

On the other side, Itachi acted decisively, ordering Kisame to take Kakashi away.

Fortunately, Kamen Rider's amazing best friend Might Guy arrived in time, kicked Kisame away, and successfully rescued the three of them.

After the battle, Kakashi fell into a coma and was taken to Konoha Hospital for treatment.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan is this powerful?"

Seeing Kakashi's miserable state on the screen, the Fourth Minato couldn't help but gasp.

He had no idea how strong Kakashi would become in later generations.

However, judging from Kakashi's current strength, he will definitely have the strength of an elite Jonin in the future.

There aren't many ninjas with this level of skill even in Konoha now, and there will probably be even fewer in future generations.

Even Kakashi, with his powerful Sharingan, was instantly defeated when faced with Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan.

It's easy to imagine how exaggerated the power boost the Mangekyou Sharingan provides to the Uchiha clan.

"No wonder the Third Hokage and his generation were so wary of the Uchiha."

After witnessing the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, the Fourth Hokage, Minato, began to understand the Third Hokage better.

If the Uchiha clan had a few more pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan like that, the Third Hokage probably wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully, fearing that he would wake up to find that the world of Konoha had changed.

Minato is different from the third generation.

First of all, he wasn't particularly power-hungry; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so harmonious with the third generation head, who was so fixated on power.

Secondly, his personality dictates that he will trust his companions.

In his view, as long as Konoha can become better, he doesn't care who becomes Hokage.

Therefore, he wished that the Uchiha would have more pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, so that Konoha could continue to maintain its dominance over other ninja villages and gain more benefits for the village.

In the days that followed, Sasuke and Hashirama grew jealous of Naruto's abilities, a fact that Kakashi, as their leader, was well aware of.

Harboring resentment, Sasuke challenged Naruto to a duel on the hospital rooftop. Just as both unleashed their ultimate attacks, Kakashi arrived in time to stop them and neutralize their Rasengan and Chidori.

Afterwards, Sasuke began to feel that staying in Konoha was pointless, and following Kakashi, who had been hospitalized after being beaten by Itachi Uchiha, was even less promising.

He remembered Orochimaru's offer, and after much deliberation and weighing the pros and cons, Sasuke decided to abandon his plans to learn how to become a top internet celebrity from Kakashi. He was determined to latch onto Orochimaru, this wealthy woman, and learn how to be a competent member of society.
