For the next month, aside from carrying out missions, Uchiha En and Asana focused on researching the first hokages cells.
After a month of research, Uchiha En basically confirmed his conjecture: he only needed to use points to enhance his vitality to counteract the hidden dangers of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
As long as his vitality was strong enough, he could use the Mangekyo Sharingan as freely as Obito.
This was good news for Uchiha En.
Of course, if he could develop a more perfect version of the first hokages cells, Uchiha En wouldn't mind transplanting some, which would save a large number of points.
Just as Uchiha En and Asana were immersed in research, Orochimaru received news that the battle between Konoha and Iwagakure was about to enter a critical phase.
Just like in the original work, after Iwagakure killed the Third Raikage, they faced a fierce counterattack from Kumogakure.
Naturally, Konoha seized the opportunity and attacked Iwagakure alongside the Kumogakure Ninja.
To resolve this predicament, Iwagakure dispatched thousands of Iwagakure Ninja to cross the Land of Grass and harass the Konoha border, hoping to force Konoha to submit and gain more leverage in subsequent negotiations with Konoha.
Unfortunately, the war launched by Iwagakure was destined to end in failure.
Because Iwagakure was already at the end of its tether.
After losing the Third Raikage, the Kumogakure Ninja turned their grief and indignation into strength, erupting with powerful combat ability and forcing Iwagakure into continuous retreat.
As for Konoha, Minato Namikaze utilized his powerful Flying Thunder God Technique to gain an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield.
The Kannabi Bridge, located within the Land of Earth, was a vital supply line for transporting materials to the Iwagakure Ninja on the front lines.
Since Iwagakure had crossed the Land of Grass and advanced deep into enemy territory alone, without supplies, they couldn't even solve the problem of feeding themselves, let alone fighting a war.
Therefore, as soon as the Kannabi Bridge was destroyed, Konoha could essentially declare victory in this war.
Just like in the original work, Minato Namikaze's squad accepted the mission to destroy the Kannabi Bridge.
A few days later, Asana learned the results of the Battle of Kannabi Bridge from Orochimaru.
After the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, Konoha saw the rise of two heroes who used the Sharingan.
One was Kakashi, who copied thousands of Ninjutsu using Obito's Sharingan and was known as "Copy Ninja."
The other was Uchiha Obito, whose name was etched onto the Memorial Stone as "body completely destroyed."
The Battle of Kannabi Bridge can be said to have completely changed the lives of Obito and Kakashi.
This war also laid the groundwork for the future plot of Naruto.
As a Transmigrator, Uchiha En naturally understood the importance of this war.
Obito must have been rescued by Uchiha Madara by now, and half of Obito's body would subsequently be replaced by the first hokages cells.
Then Uchiha Madara would start plotting to use Rin Nohara to make Obito awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Obito's Mangekyo Dojutsu, Kamui, could be described as a bug-like existence in the world of Naruto.
The principle of the Kamui technique is simple: it transfers the user or other surrounding objects back and forth between reality and the self-contained Kamui Dimension.
But this ability allows Obito to switch between real space and the Kamui Dimension, giving him the power to ignore all attacks. With Kamui in hand, Obito is practically invincible by nature.
To be honest, if he had the choice, Uchiha En would not want Obito to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Obito's ability is too overpowered, but Uchiha Madara is still alive, and Uchiha En doesn't want to confront Uchiha Madara at this stage.
Moreover, Uchiha En doesn't have a good impression of Obito. If he took a huge risk to help him now, Obito might repay him later by preparing a perfect life for him in the new world created by the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
It's better to stay far away from such an ungrateful person.
However, Uchiha En felt it was necessary to make contact with Kakashi now.
The fact that an outsider like Kakashi obtained a Sharingan from the Uchiha Clan had already caused quite a stir within the Uchiha Clan.
Setting aside everything else, the members of the Uchiha Clan currently stationed at the Land of Bears camp had varying opinions on this matter.
"Senior Mei, is it true that an outsider like Kakashi got a Sharingan?" Uchiha Oto, who had just received the news, ran into Uchiha Mei's tent and asked.
At this time, all the members of the Uchiha Clan had gathered in Uchiha Mei's tent, and Uchiha Oto was the last to arrive.
"Kakashi did indeed receive Obito's Sharingan," Uchiha Mei replied.
"How can this be allowed!" Uchiha Oto, who belonged to the hawk faction, said with a frown.
Although Uchiha Oto stood with the hawk faction due to her father's influence, over the years, her ideology had indeed grown closer to theirs through constant exposure. When it came to issues concerning the Sharingan Bloodline Limit, Uchiha Oto's attitude was the same as the rest of the hawk faction: they would absolutely not allow the Bloodline Limit to flow outside the clan.
"Senior Oto, please calm down. Kakashi isn't here with us right now, so talking about this won't help much," Uchiha Aya said.
"Cai is right. The main family will definitely discuss this with Kakashi; we don't need to worry unnecessarily," Uchiha Mei said.
"The main family? Leaving others aside, the Clan Head probably won't take back that Sharingan, right?" Uchiha Oto said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Oto, what do you mean?"
"The literal meaning. You all know the Clan Head's personality. He probably can't afford to be forceful when dealing with the Village, can he?" Uchiha Oto said.
"Senior Mei, what does this have to do with the Village? Didn't Kakashi receive Obito's Sharingan?" Uchiha Mei asked.
"Senior Mei, Kakashi is currently a hero of the Battle of Kannabi Bridge. Furthermore, Kakashi is Minato Namikaze's disciple and Jiraiya's Grand-disciple—a bona fide Direct Member of the Hokage Faction. The high-ranking officials of the Village will absolutely protect him," Uchiha En, who had remained silent, finally spoke.
Uchiha Mei frowned after hearing Uchiha En's words and asked, "En, then according to your thoughts, how will this matter ultimately be handled?"
"Senior Mei, I think Senior Oto is right. The Village will help Kakashi keep this Sharingan, and the Clan Head will most likely tacitly approve this, then conduct certain negotiations with the Village in exchange for some benefits."
Uchiha Mei's expression showed displeasure upon hearing this: "Using a clansman's Sharingan in exchange for benefits? Isn't the Clan Head going a bit too far?"
"That depends on the specific circumstances. First, we need to confirm whether Obito's Sharingan was forcibly seized by Kakashi or if Obito willingly gifted it to him before death.
If it was a willing gift, I personally lean toward using this Sharingan to exchange for something else. After all, it was Obito's dying wish, and we should respect it. Of course, the exchanged items must satisfy the majority of the clansmen."
"But if Kakashi forcibly stole the Sharingan, then regardless of the circumstances, that Sharingan cannot remain with Kakashi," Uchiha En concluded.
