I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 175 The Ownership of the Flame Fan!

"Kyo-senpai, I'm so glad you're still alive!"

Minato Namikaze spoke to Kagami Uchiha with a bright and cheerful expression.

But as soon as he said it, he realized something was wrong and tried to salvage the situation.

"What I mean is, when are you going to return to the Pure Land...?"

"Sorry, Kagami-senpai, Minato-nii is a bit of a ditz."

Nara Rinka apologized to Uchiha Kagami.

"We have just killed Madara Uchiha, but the White Zetsu who was guarding him disappeared using a strange earth-burrowing technique."

"White Zetsu's abilities are indeed very unique."

Kagami's gaze shifted to Madara Uchiha's corpse in Minato Namikaze's hands, his face, which resembled shattered porcelain, filled with complex emotions.

No matter what Madara Uchiha did in the dark.

But for Uchiha Kagami, the other party was both an ancestor of the Uchiha clan and his savior.

At this moment, they saw Madara Uchiha die.

Uchiha Kagami's heart was filled with complex emotions.

However, as a ninja, Uchiha Kagami knew that Nara Rinkazu and Namikaze Minato would come here because they must have received orders from the village.

In other words, this means Konoha wants to eliminate Uchiha Madara!

On one side is the village, and on the other side is their benefactor.

A choice must be made between these two...

Fortunately, Uchiha Kagami was in the Edo Tensei state at this time, otherwise his eye power would have continued to increase.

"By the way, Kagami-senpai."

Minato Namikaze raised the Flame Fan in his left hand and asked.

"Do you know what this round fan ninja tool is? We found it in a cave."

"This is the Flame Fan, a treasure passed down through generations of the Uchiha clan, and also the most symbolic ninja tool of the Uchiha."

Uchiha Kagami suppressed his complex emotions and, while answering, brought up a past event.

"As far as I know, when Lord Madara left the village, he took the Flame Fan with him."

"For so many years, the Flame Fan has been kept in Madara's possession, and now it can finally return to the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Kagami did indeed have his heart set on Konoha, but that did not mean that he had no regard for his clan.

In Uchiha Kagami's eyes, he was first and foremost a Konoha ninja, and only secondarily a member of the Uchiha clan.

The village is larger than the family.

"Cough cough..."

Upon hearing that Uchiha Kagami had decided on the ownership of the Flame Fan, Nara Rinka couldn't help but cough twice.

Although he is not an Uchiha, and does not have red eyes.

But who could blame him for contributing so much to this mission?

"Senior Kagami, what do you think about handing over the [Flame Fan] to Shisui?"

In terms of relationship, Uchiha Shisui was a descendant of Uchiha Kagami;

In terms of strength, Uchiha Shisui had already awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan;

Isn't this the perfect candidate for the [Flame Fan]?

As for Nara Rinka, being Uchiha Shisui's captain and a "good guy" who voluntarily assigned the Flame Fan to Uchiha Shisui, could he occasionally borrow the Flame Fan from him to play with?

Minato Namikaze was unaware of Nara Rinkazu's ulterior motives, but he had no say in the matter.

There was an Uchiha in his team.

But he hadn't even activated his Sharingan.

Distance has already proven itself on the battlefield, and even earned the title of "Shisui of Instantaneous Movement".

Obito Uchiha was more than one level below him!

"Give the Flame Fan to Shisui?"

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Kagami spoke honestly.

"I don't think there's any problem... Shisui has already awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, which is very rare among the Uchiha clan at his age."

"Let's leave it at that for now!"

Nara Rinka took the initiative to find a future owner for the [Flame Fan].

"Furthermore, Senior Kagami, logically speaking, since Madara Uchiha was the caster of the Impure World Reincarnation technique and is already dead, your soul, as the recipient of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, should have already returned to the Pure Land."

How are you feeling right now?

"Feelings? Actually, I didn't feel anything."

Uchiha Kagami looked at Nara and the other man, and slowly shook his head.

"I don't have a deep understanding of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, nor have I ever had an experience similar to my current situation."

"Perhaps it's because the sealing technique Namikaze just used on me severed the connection between me and Madara-sama's Impure World Reincarnation technique."

This is indeed a possible inference.

Nara Lan Gui nodded slightly.

However, there is another possibility—Uchiha Madara, the one who performed the Impure World Reincarnation, did not die!

Minato Namikaze, who was standing nearby, had a similar thought flash through his mind.

However, looking at Madara Uchiha's corpse in his hands, he immediately dismissed that possibility.

"It's possible that the sealing technique we just used really worked."

Minato Namikaze first placed Madara Uchiha's body on the black eagle, and then spoke.

"I don't know if it's the effect of the Four Symbols Seal or the effect of the Contract Seal..."

"But I think that since the village has the technique of Impure World Reincarnation, it should also have a corresponding way to undo it."

"Or, Senior Mirror, shall I break the sealing spell for you first?"

"Excuse me, Namikaze-kun and Nara-kun, I have a request."

Uchiha Kagami shook his head and rejected Minato Namikaze's suggestion, while speaking sincerely.

"Last time, the Impure World Reincarnation technique ended too quickly, so I didn't have enough time to spend with Shisui."

"I want to spend more time with Shisui while the Impure World Reincarnation technique is still active."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kagami's request.

Nara Rinkazu and Namikaze Minato exchanged a glance.

"I have no objection."

Nara Rinkaku spoke up to express his opinion.

He doesn't mind seeking benefits for his teammates whenever possible.

"I have no objection either."

Minato Namikaze looked at Kagami Uchiha and hesitated.

"But Senior Kagami, given your current state..."

Minato Namikaze was unaware of the details and effects of the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

But to forcibly control a dead person's corpse with a soul...

This doesn't seem like a sustainable approach at all!

"Don't worry, Namikaze-kun."

Uchiha Kagami explained.

"I don't want to stay in the world of the living for long, but there are still some things I want to discuss with Shisui."

Minato Namikaze nodded.

"In that case, I have no further questions."

Minato Namikaze was about to use a psychic summoning technique to deliver the message that the mission was complete to the village.

"There's one more thing."

Nara Rinka spoke again, drawing the attention of the two.

"Senior Kagami, when we were fighting Madara Uchiha just now, White Zetsu used Wood Release, and Madara Uchiha used the special ninjutsu that you just used when you turned into a crow."

"At that moment, the three tomoe in his Sharingan transformed into a very special black windmill."

"Kagami-senpai, should we remove Madara Uchiha's left eye?"

"Or rather, your left eye?"

Did Madara Uchiha use Kagami Uchiha's left eye?

Minato Namikaze widened his eyes slightly as he looked at Kagami Uchiha.

"...You're really perceptive, Nara-kun."

Uchiha Kagami remained silent for a moment, then sighed.

That is indeed my left eye.

"Nara-kun, how did you find out?"

"This is the hint you gave yourself."

Nara Rinka helps the two recall their past experiences.

"When we last met, Senior Kagami said that you lost your right eye during a mission, but after being rescued by Madara Uchiha, you continued to carry out missions for him."

"Blind ninjas are basically incapable of carrying out missions..."

"Of course, the most important point is that Madara Uchiha only has one eye, and he used the same special crow ninjutsu as you."

"My eyes are indeed different from ordinary Sharingan with tomoe."

Uchiha Kagami once again marveled at the Nara clan's brilliant intellect, and at the same time revealed the Uchiha clan's deepest secrets to the two of them.

"That is something called the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"As for the special crow ninjutsu that Nara-kun mentioned, I call it 'Yatagara'."

The reason why Uchiha Kagami wanted to stay in the human world for a longer period of time was actually for the Mangekyou Sharingan above Uchiha Madara's left eye.

His plan was very simple—to give the Mangekyou Sharingan that once belonged to him to Uchiha Shisui!

Unexpectedly, before the plan even began, Nara Rangsuke had already spotted the problem...

"Yatagaraja?"

Nara Lan Gui nodded slightly.

"A rather cool-looking ninjutsu name."

"Is this cool?"

Minato Namikaze raised objections and quickly came up with a new name for the ninjutsu.

"If you ask me, it should be called Kaleidoscope: Dark Gale Dance of Crows!"

"Hmm, this name isn't quite right. How about we call it..."

"Sorry, Kagami-senpai, as I just said, Minato-nii is a bit of a ditz."

Nara Rinka apologized to Uchiha Kagami again.

"The name you chose for your Mangekyou Sharingan ninjutsu is good enough."

That's not the point, okay? Are you just as clueless as Minato Namikaze?

Uchiha Kagami's lips twitched slightly.

Minato Namikaze reluctantly stopped the part of naming his favorite ninjutsu.

"Kagami-senpai, since Madara Uchiha's left eye once belonged to you, do you want to remove it now?"

"I... have no vessel to hold my eyes."

Uchiha Kagami looked towards Nara Rinka.

"Let's talk about it when we get back to camp. There should be specialized medical equipment there."

Nara Ranka shook his head and looked at Namikaze Minato.

"Brother Shuimen, you can contact the village and explain the situation now."

Minato Namikaze dropped his relaxed expression and immediately used the "Summoning Jutsu" to summon Gamabunta Kosuke.

"Kosuke, deliver this scroll to Lord Sandai."

Minato Namikaze handed over another scroll.

The scroll details the general process of today's mission, highlighting the existence of "Impure World Reincarnation Technique" and "Wood Release".

At Nara Rinkazu's request, Minato Namikaze deliberately omitted the details of their battle, only saying, "After a fierce battle, the two defeated the reanimated Uchiha Kagami and successfully killed Uchiha Madara."

In addition, Minato Namikaze also added Uchiha Kagami's request in the scroll, and also mentioned Uchiha Kagami's special state at this time.

Kosuke the Toad immediately took the scroll and disappeared.

Nara Rinka piloted the [Ink Eagle], carrying one person and two corpses, and began flying towards the Konoha camp.

Not long after.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sent a message.

"Once all the data collected in Uchiha Madara's secret base has been inventoried, Minato Namikaze, Rinkazu Nara, and the other six ninjas will immediately escort the Five-Tails Jinchuriki and Uchiha Madara's body back to the village."

"Uchiha Kagami, stand by."

Second update.

There will be a third update later.

Around midnight.
