The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

Images of Obito Uchiha with Kakashi and Rin Nohara from the past flashed through his mind.

"Lin, I miss you so much."

A series of footsteps approached, bringing Obito Uchiha back to his senses.

Immediately, an invisible vortex appeared, and the next moment, Obito Uchiha's figure disappeared.

"Kakashi!"

"Kakashi, what's wrong?"

The Konoha ninja stepped forward, helped Kakashi up, and breathed a sigh of relief after checking that Kakashi was still breathing.

But soon, he noticed the emptiness in Kakashi's eye sockets.

"Eye!"

"Kakashi's eyes are gone."

Kakashi regained consciousness.

A sharp pain came from my eye.

Within a very short time, news that Kakashi had lost his Sharingan spread throughout Konoha's ranks.

Everyone was shocked.

Everyone has witnessed Kakashi's actions after obtaining the Sharingan.

The Sharingan certainly became a burden for Kakashi.

However, Kakashi's exceptional dynamic vision, which allows him to see through the flow of his opponent's chakra, still provides him with a significant advantage.

Many people believe that Kakashi's strength increased after obtaining the Sharingan.

"Could it have been done by Kirigakure?"

"Not long ago, Kisame Hoshigaki of Kirigakure lost Kiriichimonji. We have now found out that it was probably taken by Taketori Neko, a rogue ninja from Kirigakure."

"Without Kiriichimonji, Kisame Hoshigaki's strength has greatly decreased, and he has directly lost his position as the number one among the younger generation."

"So this position naturally falls to Kakashi."

However, this is only the opinion of the Konoha ninjas.

Other ninja villages, such as Kumogakure, had different ideas.

"This dealt a certain blow to the morale of Kirigakure."

"Therefore, Kirigakure has a reason to take action against Kakashi and seize his Sharingan."

"How shameless!"

“They’re having a hard time, so they resort to such despicable means.”

However, some people have raised questions.

"If the people of Kirigakure had a chance to steal Kakashi's Sharingan, why didn't they just kill Kakashi?"

After this question was raised, another suspect arose in everyone's mind.

Uchiha family.

The Uchiha clan protested when Kakashi had just obtained the Sharingan.

The Uchiha clan believes that the Sharingan must not be revealed to outsiders.

Only members of the Uchiha clan are capable of using the Sharingan.

Even a Konoha ninja like Kakashi couldn't do that.

When Kakashi was still in the medical department, many members of the Uchiha clan came to him.

However, Minato Namikaze intervened and stopped the Uchiha clan members.

The Uchiha clan gave Minato Namikaze this face.

Not only because Mikoto Uchiha and Kushina Uzumaki were on good terms, and Fugaku Uchiha and Minato Namikaze had a good relationship, but also because Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi stood behind Minato Namikaze.

On the surface, the Uchiha clan can no longer attack Kakashi.

But what about behind the scenes?

Could it be the Uchiha clan acting in secret?

Taking advantage of Kisame Hoshigaki losing Kiriichimonji, they made everyone suspect Kirigakure.

Fugaku Uchiha, of course, denied such speculation.

This is not something the Uchiha clan would do.

However, at this very moment, some arrogant, conceited, and extreme-tempered members of the Uchiha clan actually exacerbated the spread of these rumors.

"There's no evidence yet to prove that it was done by our Uchiha clan, yet you spout so much nonsense."

"Even if it was done by our Uchiha clan, so what?"

"The Sharingan originally belonged to our Uchiha clan."

"No one else is qualified to get involved."

"Even if our Uchiha clan takes back Kakashi's Sharingan, it would be perfectly reasonable."

Originally, thanks to the mediation of Minato Namikaze and Fugaku Uchiha, the relationship between the Uchiha and Konoha had been somewhat eased.

However, the sudden outbreak of this incident caused the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha to deteriorate to a much worse level than before, to the point that even Minato Namikaze and Fugaku Uchiha could not control it.

Fugaku Uchiha frowned deeply.

"These people are so foolish!"

"If this continues, the conflict between the Uchiha and the village will likely escalate to an unpredictable degree."

"I'm afraid it will end up like the Kaguya clan and Kirigakure."

"All my previous efforts have been in vain."

"All my efforts have been in vain."

"As the head of the Uchiha clan, there are too many things to do."

"Too difficult."

Fugaku Uchiha sighed.

“Some of my people complain about me, but how can they know the difficulties involved? And who can guarantee that they could do a better job than me in my position?”

"If it weren't for me, the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village would have erupted long ago."

"It was I who stabilized the Uchiha's situation."

"But not everyone is willing to listen to me."

"Elder Setsuna, Eighth Generation Elder"

"Hawks"

"If only time could pass faster, these old radicals could disappear."

"In its place is Shisui, who has grown up, Itachi."

"They will definitely be a great help to me in completely stabilizing the situation of the Uchiha clan."

Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked in the direction of the Uchiha camp.

"Honestly, it's unlikely that Kirigakure will be involved."

"Then, it's highly likely that it was the Uchiha who did it."

"To attack Kakashi at a time like this."

"Do you still have the village in your hearts?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi withdrew his gaze.

"Minato, the method you proposed will ultimately not work."

Hiruzen Sarutobi harbored resentment towards the Uchiha clan.

Danzo, however, saw an opportunity to target the Uchiha clan directly in this matter.

Unlike Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo's attitude was much more radical.

Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi was dissatisfied, at most he could only suppress the Uchiha clan.

But Danzo truly wanted the Uchiha to die.

As Tobirama Senju's disciple, Danzo's prejudice against the Uchiha clan surpassed even that of Tobirama Senju.

"These Uchiha people are truly evil!"

"Selfish and self-centered."

"They disregarded the village for their own selfish interests."

"It even indirectly helped Kirigakure."

"This is simply unforgivable!"

Uchiha Shisui showed a pained expression.

"Why did it turn out like this?"

"Why did the clan choose this particular time to attack Kakashi?"

There were clearly better options.

After learning about the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha, Uchiha Shisui constantly sought to ease and resolve the conflict, continuously thinking and searching for solutions.

However, Shisui Uchiha has not come up with any clues, and the relationship between the Uchiha and Konoha has deteriorated even further.

"Could it be that the Uchiha clan will eventually follow the path of the Kirigakure Taketori clan?"

"Or will it get even worse?"

Having lost his Sharingan, Kakashi withdrew from the battlefield and was sent back to Konoha's medical department.
