After returning to Konoha, Hoshita Shuichi and Jiraiya immediately met with Sarutobi Hiruzen and reported to him about the trip to the Rain Country.
"Obito..."
Hearing about space-time ninjutsu, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but have a headache.
There are many strange and bizarre secret techniques and forbidden techniques in the ninja world, so intelligence is very important.
Among the many ninjutsu, time and space ninjutsu is definitely the most difficult one.
Because this kind of ninjutsu is very difficult to deal with even if you know the information.
"If they join forces to capture the Nine-Tails..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen expressed his greatest concern.
Jiraiya smiled and said, "Don't worry too much about that."
"As for space-time ninjutsu, we have Minato and Shuichi. As for the Rinnegan, we Three Sannin will handle it!"
Hoshita Shuichi is not as optimistic as Jiraiya.
The Three Sannin are fighting against the Rinnegan?Not to mention the now-powerful Nagato, even if it was the original Nagato, it would not be that easy for the Three Sannin to fight against him.
The abilities of the Rinnegan are too comprehensive.
So, after thinking for a while, he said, "I will find a suitable opportunity to take back Obito."
"Nagato's Rinnegan, I will gather enough information as soon as possible."
He had a general idea of the abilities of the Rinnegan, but things had changed from what he knew now, so he still needed to understand Nagato's mastery of the subject.
Sarutobi Hiruzen reminded: "Don't forget there is another Uchiha Madara."
"If Nagato is not lying, Uchiha Madara is still alive and still has amazing fighting power."
However, Hoshita Shuichi said: "Third Hokage, I am not worried about Uchiha Madara."
"Even if he has the first generation of cells, he is very old."
"Moreover, from now on, why did Uchiha Madara plot against Obito and take the opportunity to lead Nagato down the wrong path?"
"The Shura of the Ninja World back then was a strong man on par with the First Generation. Given his personality, it stands to reason that he would have been invincible after the First Generation. It would not have been difficult for him to snatch the Nine-Tails or even destroy Konoha."
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya were both lost in thought.
If the second generation was still around, it would be understandable that they were afraid of Flying Thunder God.
After the death of the second generation, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked himself that although his strength was not bad, he had to admit that he was inferior to the former Shura of the ninja world.
"So, Shuichi, what you mean is that Uchiha Madara's physical condition is actually not good?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "I also know something about Uchiha Madara leaving the village. According to the Second Hokage, he left because of the position of Hokage and because his philosophy conflicted with that of the First Hokage."
"He wanted to wipe out other ninja villages by force, but unfortunately, no one wanted to go back to the past. Even the Uchiha clan didn't agree with his approach."
Jiraiya said: "Nagato's current idea is similar to Uchiha Madara's. He wants to use force and war to make people feel pain, so that they will fear war and end it."
He sighed, "So, this happens to be the key to his and Uchiha Madara's cooperation."
Then Jiraiya straightened his expression and said, "Under the current situation, even with Nagato's Rinnegan, it is impossible to deal with five ninja villages."
"So they need a more powerful force... a tailed beast?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked solemn: "It seems that this is the only answer."
"Although I don't know the ability of the Rinnegan, but the Mangekyō Sharingan can control the tailed beasts."
"And now Uchiha Madara and Obito, they are two pairs of Mangekyō."
Listening to the two people's analysis, Hoshita Shuichi almost applauded, but he still had to continue to guide: "If I were Uchiha Madara, if I were a hundred years old now, if I still had unfinished business..."
"I should ask God to lend me another 500 years!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya were stunned.
Then Jiraiya said in surprise: "The power of the Rinnegan, the eye technique that is said to belong to the Sage Of Six Path, has the power to destroy and create the world... So, Shuichi, what you mean is that Uchiha Madara wants to use Nagato's Rinnegan to return to his peak state?"
Hoshita Shuichi's speculation was far-fetched and bold, but after careful consideration, both Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya felt that it was very likely.
As for whether the Rinnegan can resurrect a person, they don't consider it.
The Sharingan can perform the ultimate illusion Izanagi, and the Rinnegan is said to be able to destroy and create the world.
What's more, resurrecting people is not without precedent in the ninja world.
For example, the Impure World Reincarnation of the second generation Senju Tobirama can also be considered.
Sarutobi Hiruzen remained calm and said, "Everything is speculation now. We need sufficient information to prove it."
"Kushina has Minato there, Shuichi, gather your team as well."
"If we go on a mission, we'll still do it as a team."
Even though they have Flying Thunder God, Sarutobi Hiruzen feels that it is safer to form a team.
After all, the opponent now also has time and space ninjutsu.
In response, Hoshita Shuichi nodded and agreed immediately.
It is indeed better to have someone to cooperate with.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Uchiha Shisui opens the Mangekyō.
…
Coming out of the Hokage building, Jiraiya stretched and said with a lewd look: "Shuichi, how about we go to the hot spring house together?"
Hoshita Shuichi decisively refused.
It is better to go to Pakura in Daimyo instead of going to the hot spring house.
He hasn't tasted the beautiful back of the young lady yet!
Besides, Nagato's situation gave him a sense of urgency.
He remembered that after Nagato's Impure World Reincarnation, he almost defeated Nine-Tails Naruto and Killer Bee alone.
Judging from the current situation, Uchiha Madara is very likely to teach ninjutsu to Nagato. Combined with Hashirama's cells, it means that Nagato's control over the Rinnegan will be even stronger.
"But this way, I'll be more motivated!"
He waved at Jiraiya and Hoshita Shuichi disappeared.
Jiraiya smiled helplessly: "Young people nowadays really don't know how to enjoy themselves, but..."
Thinking of Nagato's situation, and the two Mangekyō of Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito, Jiraiya sighed: "It seems that we have to work hard!"
"Let's go to Mount Myoboku to practice."
Jiraiya gave up his plan of collecting folk songs out of heartache.
…
Time flies, and it's December in the blink of an eye.
Konoha, Suna Ninja, and Iwagakure finally signed a tripartite peace and ceasefire agreement, and the three major ninja villages officially ended the war.
The Konoha ninjas also withdrew from the front line one after another, and Kakashi started the tailed beast experiment again.
Uchiha Fugaku also returned from the front line with the young Uchiha Itachi.
This person is also a Wolf Slayer. Uchiha Itachi was taken to the battlefield when he was less than four years old.
The day after Uchiha Fugaku returned, Hoshita Shuichi came to visit again with Uchiha Shisui.
"What, Uchiha Madara is not dead?"
The usually calm Uchiha Fugaku lost his composure after hearing Hoshita Shuichi's information: "This... How is this possible?"
"He is a person of the same era as the first generation. Even if he used Izanagi to avoid death in the battle of the Valley of the End, he should be…"
Hoshita Shuichi said: "It is indeed unbelievable, but it is true."
"He got the primary cells."
Uchiha Fugaku calmed down: "So, our enemy is Uchiha Madara."
Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "Indeed."
"Of course, it is currently speculated that Uchiha Madara is dead, and he wants to use the Rinnegan to revive himself so that he can have the power of his peak."
"Although it's just speculation, it's very likely."
"The design of Obito should also be for his resurrection plan, so this time, I also want to find the answer from the Uchiha clan."
Uchiha Fugaku digested Hoshita Shuichi's information for a while before saying, "The Uchiha clan has very few records about Uchiha Madara, and he didn't leave anything behind."
Hoshita Shuichi looked at Uchiha Fugaku and said, "There must be a reason why Uchiha Madara suddenly left back then."
"And the root of this is the Uchiha clan. I am very sure of this."
"Patriarch Fugaku should also understand what I am saying, right?"
"After all, you are also the one who opened the Mangekyō!"
Uchiha Shisui showed a look of surprise, while Uchiha Fugaku's eyes darkened and cold sweat broke out on his back: "Shuichi-kun is indeed the strongest person in the village at present. You actually saw through it."
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "Because I have a deep understanding of chakra, and I am a perception ninja, I can sense that the chakra of the Fugaku clan leader is different."
"This is also a significant change in the Uchiha clan after their eyes were opened and the Sharingan was upgraded. Most people cannot escape it. This is related to the way the Sharingan was upgraded."
"Of course, I have no intention of prying into the secrets of the Sharingan, nor will I covet or fear the power of the Sharingan, because I believe that I have enough ability to obtain the same bloodline limit as the Sharingan."
Uchiha Fugaku nodded: "I believe in this point, Shuichi-kun, after all, he has the strength to compete with Uchiha Madara."
"The reason why I concealed the fact about the Mangekyō is because this pair of eyes is too special. I believe Shuichi-kun can understand that."
Hoshita Shuichi nodded to show his understanding and said, "Danzo has been killed by me!"
Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui were both surprised.
"Shuichi, you..."
Uchiha Shisui spoke worriedly.
Hoshita Shuichi raised his hand to interrupt: "Don't worry, Shisui, the Third Hokage knows about this."
"So I also hope that Patriarch Fugaku understands that not everyone is like Danzo."
"Both me and Mr. Minato have enough confidence and support the policies of the first generation."
"I heard that Patriarch Fugaku brought Itachi with him to the battlefield this time?"
Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and nodded: "Yes, as the son of the clan leader, you are born to have to take on more responsibilities."
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said: "I am very optimistic about Itachi's future. If possible, I will recommend him to join the Anbu."
Uchiha Fugaku was surprised and happy.
Although Hoshita Shuichi is currently just an ordinary jonin in Konoha, his status is extremely special.
Judging from what he said just now, Uchiha Fugaku has realized that there will be no changes after Namikaze Minato becomes the fourth generation.
So, with Hoshita Shuichi's strength, it seems that it is only a matter of time before he becomes the fifth generation.
In this case, Hoshita Shuichi's promise is obviously effective enough.
Uchiha Fugaku has always wanted to get closer to the core of Konoha, but because of the hostility of Danzo and others, he has been excluded from the edge. Now Hoshita Shuichi's hints are very obvious.
So, after just thinking about it, Uchiha Fugaku revealed: "If there is anything related to Uchiha Madara's departure, then it should be only that one."
"The stone tablet left by the Sage Of Six Path is at our clan's Nanga Shrine."
Uchiha Shisui was stunned and said, "Clan leader, that stone tablet doesn't seem to record anything special."
Uchiha Fugaku said in a deep voice: "That's because Shisui didn't open the Mangekyō Sharingan."
"The higher the level of the Sharingan, the more you can see."
"And what I can see now is the method to take the Mangekyō Sharingan one step further and reach the Eternal Mangekyō."
Hoshita Shuichi pretended to be thoughtful and said: "So, Uchiha Madara's Mangekyō is already the Eternal Mangekyō."
Uchiha Fugaku nodded: "It should be."
"If you overuse a regular Mangekyō, it can cause blindness."
Hoshita Shuichi cooperated in the acting: "Is that so?"
"It seems that it is because of the lack of Yang Release power."
These words surprised both Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui.
Hoshita Shuichi explained: "From the perspective of the changes in the nature of chakra, the Sharingan is dominated by Yin Release, and the bloodline limit is formed by the fusion of the changes in the nature of Yin Release and Yang Release."
"Yin Release represents spiritual power, while Yang Release represents physical power."
"This is also the conclusion I came to from analyzing the opening, promotion, and pupil techniques of the Sharingan."
Uchiha Fugaku pondered for a moment and exclaimed: "It is true that Shuichi-kun's achievements today are not due to luck at all."
"The method recorded on the stone tablet to open the Eternal Mangekyō is to transplant a pair of Mangekyōs of a direct relative, and you will gain eternal pupil power!"
Uchiha Shisui's expression changed: "Clan leader, this is too harsh. And wouldn't this method mean killing your loved ones?"
Uchiha Fugaku was silent, then he sighed and said, "So the Sharingan is called the cursed eye."
Hoshita Shuichi thought: "The key is not the transplanted eyes, but the chakra behind the eyes."
"The opening of the Uchiha eye and the advancement of the Sharingan both involve changes in chakra. This special chakra creates changes in the nervous system, leading to the opening and advancement of the eye."
"So theoretically speaking, if one has enough physical and mental strength, one does not necessarily need to transplant eyes to obtain the Eternal Mangekyō."
The reason why Hoshita Shuichi made this speculation was based on two people.
The first one is Indra, the son of the Sage Of Six Path.
The second is Obito, who transplanted Hashirama's cells.
The so-called Eternal Eyes will not cause irreversible damage to the eyes and lead to blindness. Even if used frequently, it will only consume chakra.
The second is the complete form of Susanoo.
If Indra didn't say anything, Hoshita Shuichi didn't know much about him.
But Obito, who frequently uses Kamui, is no different from the Eternal Eye.
The complete form of Susanoo was also lent to Kakashi after both eyes were fully formed.
There is no doubt about Obito's talent, and he is definitely not weak mentally, after all, he withstood the tearing of the Ten-Tails' consciousness.
Add to that Hashirama's cells, and it can be said that both yin and yang are present.
Of course, for now, Hoshita Shuichi is only making theoretical speculations.
Theories are theories, but individual differences are huge.
So Hoshita Shuichi just stopped there and didn't continue to lead to Hashirama's cells.
It's not the right time yet.
Even if he wanted to test the Eternal Mangekyō for the Uchiha clan, Hoshita Shuichi would not choose the uncontrollable Uchiha Fugaku.
Let's wait until Shisui opens his eyes before we talk about anything else.
Today's speech is, first of all, to pave the way for subsequent intelligence.
The second is to enhance trust through a certain degree of mutual honesty.
Hoshita Shuichi represents the future high-level officials of Konoha, while Uchiha Fugaku represents the entire Uchiha clan.
