Chapter 36: Kakashi, Stop Reading That Kind of Book—It'll Make You Impotent!
The powerful shockwaves from the battle erupting on the eastern coast naturally attracted the attention of many Konoha ninjas.
A short while later, the unconscious Kakashi and Nohara Rin's corpse were delivered.
Looking at Kakashi being carried into the infirmary, Uchiha Sanpō felt a struggle in his heart.
Others only knew that Kakashi's left eye held a Two Tomoe Sharingan, but Uchiha Sanpō knew that eye had already become a Kamui Mangekyō.
"Dig it out… or not…"
Thinking of how powerful the Kamui Mangekyō was, Uchiha Sanpō decided to follow his heart.
So he found Uzumaki Huiyi. She had previously been a medical ninja in Kusagakure and possessed basic medical knowledge. Moreover, her chakra had healing properties, so Uchiha Sanpō had people teach her Palm Sage Technique and Chakra Scalpel Extraction Technique.
"Huiyi, can you perform an eye transplant surgery now?"
Uzumaki Huiyi thought for a moment and said: "I can do the swap… but I have no experience with eye transplants."
Uchiha Sanpō stepped closer, the corner of his mouth curving into a faint smile: "No problem. I trust you. Later, dig out Kakashi's Sharingan. Then I'll give you another Sharingan, and you'll transplant it into me."
He took out a special nutrient bottle from his pocket; inside floated a left eye.
Uzumaki Huiyi accepted the bottle and felt the cold glass touch her fingers.
She didn't ask any questions, just nodded: "Okay."
Soon after, the two arrived at Kakashi's ward. Uchiha Sanpō had people guard the door.
Inside the room, Uzumaki Huiyi's fingers glowed with pale green chakra light. Palm Sage Technique precisely separated the eye nerves.
Finally she removed Kakashi's Kamui Mangekyō and placed it into a special nutrient bottle.
Uchiha Sanpō took the bottle; his fingers trembled slightly.
"Swap that eye into Kakashi."
Uzumaki Huiyi remained silent, then transplanted the new eye into Kakashi's left socket.
This was her first eye transplant; Uzumaki Huiyi was a little nervous. She wiped the sweat from her forehead: "The surgery was successful!"
The transplanted left eye was actually a Three Tomoe Sharingan, but it was not activated, so it wouldn't continuously consume chakra. Kakashi's condition therefore slowly improved.
(Reference: Uchiha Madara transplanted his Rinnegan into Nagato's eyes. Nagato only awakened the Rinnegan out of rage after his parents' death. Because the Rinnegan was not native to Nagato, he couldn't deactivate it after awakening.)
After the surgery ended, Uchiha Sanpō's gaze turned to Nohara Rin on the adjacent bed.
The young girl's corpse lay there, a hole in her chest.
Since she had died recently, fresh blood was still flowing out.
"Huiyi, I need you to extract some of Nohara Rin's eggs and bone marrow for future cloning."
Uzumaki Huiyi's fingers suddenly trembled; the scalpel nearly fell from her hand: "This… this is…"
Seeing Uchiha Sanpō's resolute gaze, the hesitation in her heart finally vanished.
She made an incision in Nohara Rin's abdomen and extracted some eggs and genetic material.
Finally, she used medical ninjutsu to regenerate flesh and skin, sealing the wounds on her abdomen and left chest.
At that moment, Kakashi's eyelashes fluttered a few times and slowly opened.
His eyes stared blankly at the ceiling: "Rin…"
Uchiha Sanpō's voice came from the side: "Kakashi, your Sharingan couldn't deactivate, continuously draining your chakra until you fell unconscious from chakra depletion. I temporarily… handled it for you."
Kakashi's expression showed no change at all.
"Do you want to see Nohara Rin's body? We've closed her wounds."
Kakashi turned his head toward the adjacent bed. Rin's corpse had been tidied up; the fatal wound on her chest had been repaired with medical ninjutsu.
His fingers unconsciously gripped the bedsheet tightly, as though using all his strength to speak two words.
"Thank you."
Uchiha Sanpō suddenly picked up a book with an orange cover and casually flipped through the pages.
Seeing this, Kakashi's pupils suddenly contracted—he felt a bit socially dead.
"'Icha Icha Paradise'… I never expected our genius jōnin Kakashi would like reading this kind of book."
Kakashi's face instantly flushed red: "Give it back… you… how could you peek at my book."
Uchiha Sanpō suddenly leaned over; his Three Tomoe Sharingan stared straight into Kakashi's eyes: "Don't be hasty. Since you like Rin so much… how about I clone one for you to be your wife?"
The room fell terrifyingly silent. Kakashi suddenly sat up, only to fall back onto the bed from dizziness.
His Adam's apple bobbed up and down; his voice trembled slightly: "This is… desecration… of Rin's corpse…"
Kakashi spoke haltingly, hesitantly!
Uchiha Sanpō chuckled lightly: "The dead Nohara Rin belongs to Obito—they'll live happily in the afterlife. The new Rin will belong to you. Kakashi, isn't that great? You should understand Rin's feelings."
At these words, Kakashi fell into silence, as though seriously considering the suggestion.
The room became quiet again. Uchiha Sanpō found it a bit boring and opened the door.
At that moment, Kakashi suddenly spoke: "Thank you… you're a good person!"
He never expected to receive a "good person card" from Kakashi.
Uchiha Sanpō didn't turn back, only saying softly: "Recover well, Kakashi. Read less of that kind of book in the future, or you'll end up with kidney deficiency, hahaha."
"You…" Kakashi started to speak but didn't know what to retort.
Looking at the distant setting sun, Uchiha Sanpō hid a deep malice in his eyes.
Actually, he did this to disgust Uchiha Obito.
Imagine when Uchiha Obito sees "Nohara Rin" living happily with Kakashi—how massive the psychological blow would be.
"What should we do next?" Uzumaki Huiyi's voice came from behind.
"Inside the outpost, some of our Uchiha children had their Sharingan dug out. I happen to have some Sharingan on hand. I need you to transplant them into those children."
Uchiha Sanpō's calm tone hid a trace of inexplicable coldness.
He had twenty-eight pairs of Sharingan—from one tomoe to three tomoe.
Back when he became battalion commander on the Iwagakure front, he had learned the forbidden technique Izanagi from Uchiha Hachidai, and then wanted to collect some Sharingan as spares.
Afterward, he went to the medical division and told some critically injured, dying Uchiha clansmen a fabricated story: "In the war, many Uchiha children had their Sharingan dug out. I hope after you die, you can donate your eyes to clansmen in need."
Unexpectedly, some clansmen immediately gouged out their own eyes.
That scene felt like a knife stabbing straight into Uchiha Sanpō's heart… I actually deceived… such cute clansmen…
