After a hearty banquet, it was evening.
The others dispersed, and Kakashi, who had drunk a little too much, walked with Kuragami Uchiha along the Naka River to digest his food.
"Kakashi, you have helped a lot in our operation this time. What do you think about your future position?"
Kuragami Uchiha asked.
"As long as I can help you, any position is fine." Kakashi said.
"Then I'll be frank. I hope you can become the Hokage's assistant and take over my duties as the captain of the Konoha Military Police Force."
Kuragami Uchiha said: "After that, I plan to refine the powers of the Konoha Military Police Force, separate the powers of handling trivial matters within the village and legislation, and set up two new departments, and the Konoha Military Police Force will simply serve as an intelligence and enforcement unit within the Land of Fire."
"Okay, I understand." Kakashi nodded.
"Next, you have to help me well." Kuragami Uchiha smiled.
"Of course." Kakashi also smiled.
The two walked up along the Naka River until the sunset completely fell, and they came to the edge of the village.
At this time, Kakashi suddenly asked: "Kuragami, what is the identity of that masked man?"
Kuragami Uchiha stopped and looked at the bright moon reflected in the clear water of the Naka River and said: "Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"
"It seems that it is really him." Kakashi sighed.
"Yeah, I don't know what he has experienced. The former hero of Konoha has become like this." Kuragami Uchiha said.
"This is his eye."
He then retrieved a scroll from his robe, unrolling it to reveal a test tube filled with a nutrient solution. Suspended within it was Obito's eye.
"Take it. Judging from the fluctuations of the power I sensed that night, your eye should have evolved to the level of Mangekyo Sharingan."
"That's right."
Kakashi pulled up the forehead protector covering his left eye, revealing the Sharingan. The three tomoe in the Sharingan slowly rotated, and soon, it turned into a Mangekyō Sharingan with the pattern of Fuma shuriken.
"Try to use Mangekyō Sharingan's Visual Jutsu as little as possible. You are not like me, who can nourish it with Nature Energy. If you use it too much, your eyes will go blind. Take this." After Kuragami Uchiha gave Kakashi some instructions, he handed the other Mangekyō Sharingan to Kakashi.
Kakashi took the Mangekyō Sharingan in silence.
"As for Obito, let him die as a hero. This is good for everyone." Kuragami Uchiha said.
"Thank you."
Kakashi said. He knew that the reason why Kuragami Uchiha didn't make a big fuss about the identity of the masked man later was probably more because of him.
"Why are you saying this?"
Kuragami Uchiha smiled and stretched out his hand to Kakashi.
After Kakashi stretched out his hand and shook it, Kuragami Uchiha turned his wrist and held Kakashi's hand tightly: "You and I will be comrades for life, right?"
"Of course." Kakashi smiled and nodded.
… … …
As the sky gradually darkened, Kuragami Uchiha returned home after saying goodbye to Kakashi.
As soon as he entered the house, the housekeeper, Keiko Uchiha, said to Kuragami: "Master, Sasuke-sama is waiting for you in the study."
"Really? How long has he been here?" Kuragami Uchiha nodded and then asked.
"Sasuke-sama has been waiting for you for two hours." Keiko Uchiha replied.
"I know."
Kuragami Uchiha nodded: "In the next two hours, no one should come to study to disturb us."
"Understood." Keiko Uchiha took the order and left.
Kuragami pushed the door and walked into the study. As soon as he entered, he saw Sasuke constantly flipping through the textbook that Kuragami Uchiha had written for him.
Sasuke was disturbed by the sound of the door opening. He looked up and saw that Kuragami had come back, and then he put down the book.
"Teacher, you are back."
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting here for a long time." Kuragami Uchiha smiled gently.
"No, teacher, your matter is more important. It's okay for me to wait for a while." Sasuke said.
Kuragami Uchiha looked Sasuke up and down. It must be said that the things he taught him before were still somewhat useful. The current Sasuke has changed a lot compared to the original arrogant and proud kid.
The current Sasuke can be called a humble gentleman.
"Tell me, what do you want to see me for?" Kuragami Uchiha came to the study, sat down, and asked.
"Teacher, you said that when I feel that what you taught me can't explain the world I observe, I can come to you again."
Sasuke said.
"Is it because of your brother?" Kuragami Uchiha asked.
Sasuke nodded.
"Do you think your brother did something wrong in this incident?"
Kuragami Uchiha asked.
Sasuke thought for a moment before speaking: "Brother, he shouldn't stand against the clan."
"What if we put aside the clan's standpoint?" Kuragami Uchiha asked.
Sasuke fell into silence after hearing this.
"Don't worry, speak boldly." Kuragami Uchiha said with a smile.
"Teacher, you once taught me that you should be loyal to the person who entrusted you with the task. If we stand on the village's standpoint, my brother is the captain of the village's Anbu. The Hokage trusts my brother and has given him such an important responsibility. Brother naturally has to be loyal to his duties."
After speaking, Sasuke looked up at Kuragami's expression and felt a little nervous.
"Don't be nervous."
Kuragami Uchiha touched Sasuke's head: "Since you think your brother did nothing wrong in this matter, do you think that the clan did something wrong in this matter?"
"No."
Sasuke shook his head: "The Konoha Military Police Force was loyal to their duties, whether it was martial law in the village or arresting Jiraiya-sama who violated the law, so the clan did nothing wrong in this matter."
"Then who was wrong in this incident?"
Kuragami Uchiha said.
"I don't know…"
Sasuke lowered his head helplessly: "But my brother died that night."
"Sasuke, there are some things in this world that are not important, whether they are right or wrong." Kuragami Uchiha said.
"This… I don't understand." Sasuke looked confused.
"In fact, Sasuke, the clan, was actually in a coup that night. From the perspective of the village, your brother is in the right party." Kuragami Uchiha smiled.
After hearing what Kuragami Uchiha said, Sasuke's pupils shrank.
"But from the perspective of the clan, the clan also has reasons to have a coup."
Kuragami Uchiha said: "Some people in this village cannot tolerate the Uchiha Clan, so the clan has already stood on the edge of a cliff, and if they are not careful, they will be doomed."
"How could this be?"
Sasuke said, puzzled.
"You may not know the previous situation. Now, I will tell you everything in detail."
