Chapter 65 Current Situation (New book, please collect and recommend~)
After the funeral, Uchiha启 returned to a relatively stable life.
His daily routine involved reading in the library, training, and recording Mangekyo data.
These days were simple yet fulfilling, but certain circumstances forced Uchiha启 to slightly adjust his schedule, such as moving the Mangekyo data recording to the morning.
This was because after Kakashi was discharged from the hospital, perhaps due to Minato Namikaze being too busy, and his interest in Uchiha启's progress with Chidori training, he came to find Uchiha启.
Of course, Kakashi didn't dare to go to the Uchiha Clan compound, as he knew that with his Sharingan, he probably wouldn't be a welcome sight to the Uchiha Clan.
It just so happened that to avoid Might Guy, Kakashi had to enter a relatively unfamiliar forest, where he coincidentally ran into Uchiha启, who was training with a Shadow Clone.
After some back and forth, Uchiha启 could only adjust his time and train with Kakashi.
Although this was a bit troublesome, it gave Uchiha启 a greater sense of security.
With Kakashi's cover, even if Konoha was truly tracking him, they probably wouldn't find anything, right?
Moreover, with Kakashi, Uchiha启 gained a relatively qualified sparring partner.
Although his 'Chakra reserves' were a bit lacking, he had the Sharingan and abundant combat experience.
Uchiha启 had always felt that practicing in isolation was useless, because you would never truly know how well you were practicing or what kind of effects your training would yield.
Uchiha启's rapid increase in strength, besides his special method of activating the Sharingan, was also truly earned through desperate struggles on the battlefield—though sometimes it was his teammates' lives that were on the line.
He had learned so many new things, but he didn't have a qualified opponent for sparring, and Uchiha启 temporarily didn't want to seek out Uchiha Fugaku.
Therefore, this matter had been delayed until Kakashi conveniently showed up.
"Bang."
Uchiha启 kicked Kakashi to the ground.
After uninhibitedly using his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, Uchiha启 realized that he seemed to be no worse than Kakashi at this age.
Uchiha启's survival techniques were the Body Flicker Technique and sneak attacks, but sneak attacks were useless in a head-on battle.
His fights with Kakashi were truly 'man-to-man battles'.
However, Uchiha启 also knew that Kakashi was still not accustomed to the Sharingan, which was why he kept getting defeated, right?
"Are you alright?"
Uchiha启 walked over and extended his hand to pull Kakashi up.
"You're still not very accustomed to the Sharingan, and your use of it is extremely basic.
No genjutsu, no deeper insight ability.
You still need to work harder."
"Thanks." Kakashi took Uchiha启's hand and stood up.
"The Sharingan consumes too much of my Chakra, and my Chakra..."
Due to a bloodline issue, Kakashi received the Sharingan, but it led to some awkward situations, namely that he couldn't close that eye.
A constantly open Sharingan consumes a tremendous amount of Chakra, especially since Kakashi's current age clearly hadn't reached his peak.
Furthermore, because of the bloodline issue, the consumption of Kakashi's two-tomoe Sharingan was several times greater than Uchiha启's Three-Tomoe Sharingan, which was also Kakashi's helpless predicament.
"Train more, there's no other way." Uchiha启 could only shrug his shoulders regarding this point; he had no good suggestions.
Should he tell Kakashi to get a Tailed Beast?
Or, like Danzo Shimura, incorporate some First Hokage cells into his body?
Don't be ridiculous, Uchiha启 himself wouldn't let go of a Tailed Beast!
And just by looking at Danzo's inhuman, ghost-like appearance, one could tell how much torment that guy had endured, so achieving that step was clearly not easy.
If it weren't for Orochimaru's assistance, continuously researching and improving, Danzo Shimura reaching that point would truly be a miracle.
In the entire Hokage world, there's probably no one who can compare to Orochimaru in terms of research!
"Sigh, indeed, the Sharingan is a bottomless pit of Chakra for me." Kakashi and Uchiha启 found a random spot to sit down, then pulled up his mask to cover his eye.
"Keep it up.
Once your Chakra can keep up, maybe I'll teach you some of my insights on the Sharingan."
Uchiha启 thought for a moment and decisively issued a verbal check, then, before Kakashi could react, he continued to ask, "By the way, where was your father's blade, the one that could perfectly integrate with Chakra, forged?"
"Thank you, Qi-kun." Although Kakashi was a bit slow to react, he clearly heard it.
"As for my father's blade, I'm not very clear either.
What's wrong, do you want a blade?"
"Yes." Uchiha启 nodded.
"I hope to get a blade that can integrate well with Chakra, because I have some ideas and thoughts about your Chidori."
Uchiha启 wouldn't tell Kakashi that he simply didn't want to get too close to enemies.
That guy Kitsuchi had left a deep impression on Uchiha启; one punch and a person was gone, and Uchiha启 didn't want to experience that again.
Uchiha启 had already learned enough sword techniques, and he had long planned to find a suitable blade, but the blades sold in Konoha generally couldn't withstand Uchiha启's Chakra, breaking quickly.
This made Uchiha启 think of Kakashi.
In Uchiha启's memory, it seemed that besides the blade Orochimaru gave Sasuke, only Kakashi's previous short sword could withstand Chakra's destruction.
Uchiha启 couldn't go to Orochimaru.
He had seen Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi at the funeral memorial event in Konoha a while ago.
That time was actually the best opportunity for him to make contact, but Uchiha启 gave up on the idea.
Unless necessary, he didn't want to deal with this dangerous guy who was destined to defect from Konoha.
Orochimaru's current public opinion was somewhat strange, as rumors in the Village were getting more and more intense, basically divided into two camps.
One side, represented by Orochimaru's subordinates, strongly condemned and even occasionally physically punished those who spread rumors.
The other side, however, saw the continuous spread of rumors about Orochimaru's illegal experiments, especially after Orochimaru's subordinates took action and with the constant disappearance of Konoha villagers and Ninja, which brought the matter to a peak.
Uchiha启 neither participated in nor discussed such matters, and Orochimaru also showed no intention of defending himself.
Clearly, this was a proud individual; he disdained to explain anything, or perhaps he disdained to lie?
In addition, the Third Hokage had, more or less, expressed thoughts of abdicating earlier, making the entire Konoha high command somewhat enigmatic.
"New ideas, and a blade?" Just as Uchiha启's thoughts drifted, Kakashi murmured, "Perhaps I can help you."
