Chapter 53: Six Months
Time flew, and six months passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, aside from his Anbu patrols, Root experiments, and sweeping low-level dungeons, Kyosuke had done little else.
Of course, the final results were satisfying.
Not only had several of his key technologies leveled up due to long-term experimentation, but his personal level had also risen to 28 thanks to the continuous accumulation of experience points.

Sharingan (Three-Tomoe): Greatly enhances dynamic vision, allows for copying of ninjutsu and taijutsu, and strengthens resistance to genjutsu.
With this, Kyosuke's personal strength had finally reached the Chunin level.
This wasn't just in one aspect; his taijutsu, genjutsu, ninjutsu, and so on had all reached the Chunin standard. And for a well-rounded ninja like Kyosuke, his true combat power was much higher than his official rank.
It could be said that, aside from a few elite Chunin, Kyosuke now feared no ninja below the Jounin level.
This was the strength increase brought about by his level up.
As for his ninjutsu, although he hadn't specifically trained it much during this time, the large number of scrolls dropped from the dungeons had still pushed his overall ninjutsu level up a notch.
Furthermore, his affinity for Wind, Lightning, and Water chakra had also improved through learning the skill scrolls. While not on par with his Fire and Earth natures, it was not far off from ninja who specialized in those elements.
Unfortunately, some of the items he had been eagerly awaiting, such as Sharingan scrolls or other Kekkei Genkai scrolls, had not dropped.
This just went to show how abysmally low the drop rate for these items was.
However, as Kyosuke's strength increased, the difficulty of the dungeons he could challenge also gradually rose. Correspondingly, the base level of the various dropped items had also increased significantly.
As long as he kept at it, he was confident that various powerful items would soon come his way.
That would be when Kyosuke's strength would truly begin to explode.
So, for now, he still needed some patience and luck.
This was the change in Kyosuke's strength over the past six months.
Now, let's talk about some of the events that had occurred in Konoha during this time.
First, the impact of Sakumo Hatake's suicide had finally subsided, and Danzō was now starting to stir again. But the Third had not given him the order to retake control of Root, so he could only continue to manipulate events from behind the scenes.
As for Kakashi, his personality had completely changed after the incident. He had become just like the one described in the original story, a person who was all about rules and the ninja code. Because of this, after graduating, Kakashi had been assigned to many squads, but had ultimately left them all due to conflicts with his teammates.
Although many, including the Third Hokage, had tried to counsel him, it had not had much effect.
This was a task that would likely have to be left to the future Obito.
Perhaps out of guilt, when the Third saw Kakashi's "decline," he had directly assigned him to Minato Namikaze's squad.
And with that, Team Minato was officially formed.
Of course, although the current Kakashi was somewhat aloof, he still got along well with his old friends. This included Kyosuke, who had once tried to help his father.
Although the two were not close, when they met, Kakashi would take the initiative to greet him.
For Kyosuke, that was enough.
He believed that with this relationship, if anything were to happen in the future, Kakashi would be on his side.
Having covered the aftermath of the Sakumo Hatake incident, let's move on to the Uchiha clan.
The clan was still the same. Although they were frantically pursuing power, unfortunately, besides Fugaku, there were really no other powerful figures to speak of in the clan at this time.
Under these circumstances, the elderly elders had gradually handed over their power to Fugaku, including the Great Elder.
Of course, the Great Elder's decision was not only due to Fugaku's own abilities, but also another key point.
Fugaku was now engaged to the Great Elder's granddaughter, Uchiha Mikoto.
When Kyosuke heard this news, he felt an indescribable sense of annoyance.
Although this outcome was what he wanted...
In any case, Kyosuke had only shown his face on the day of their engagement and had paid no further attention to the matter. After all, he had his own mess to deal with.
He was now caught in a vortex of four different factions.
The Uchiha, Root, Orochimaru, and the Hokage's Anbu.
Although Kyosuke seemed to be living a carefree life, he was actually quite anxious.
Because if any of these four factions were to explode, it would be very difficult for him to escape unscathed.
The Uchiha's coup, Root's secret research, Orochimaru's human experiments, the Hokage's clan annihilation order.
These things were like swords hanging over Kyosuke's head, constantly reminding him that now was not the time to relax.
However, although Kyosuke felt the pressure, it was what it was.
As long as his strength could reach a certain level, all these problems would naturally be solved.
Of course, he couldn't guarantee that he would reach the "God of Shinobi" level of Hashirama before the night of the clan massacre.
So, some planning and preparation were still necessary, just in case.
This was, more or less, what Kyosuke had been able to learn over the past six months.
