After Orochimaru applied medicine to Itachi to promote recovery, he covered Itachi's eyes.
"In the time that follows, your eyes and Fugaku's eyes will merge, and your pupil powers will converge."
You need to carefully experience this feeling.
"Once the eye power is fully integrated, you will be able to open your eyes."
Itachi felt that his eyes were not hurting as much anymore, and replied, "Understood, Lord Orochimaru."
Kawasaki instructed Shisui, "Itachi will stay here from now on, so Orochimaru can keep an eye on him. You stay here and take care of Itachi."
"Understood, senior."
Kawasaki looked at Fugaku, who was lying to the side.
Because he lost both eyes, Fugaku's eyelids were sunken, making him look somewhat frightening.
Within the family, clan members take priority; between husband and wife, Mikoto takes priority.
15 Between father and son, Itachi and Sasuke were always given priority.
Tsk, what a typical tool-like dad.
..
After Orochimaru finished the surgery.
Karin was sent out, and she left Orochimaru's laboratory and went outside.
Under a tree, Xianglin tapped twice.
A member of the secret service appeared.
Karin recalled Kawasaki-sama's instructions and said:
"Reporting to the Hokage, Fugaku Uchiha has indeed developed an eye problem and is now blind."
"Itachi Uchiha has also nearly lost his sight, and both of them need the eyes cloned by Lord Orochimaru."
"Uchiha Shisui has been recalled by Kawasaki and is currently with Lord Orochimaru along with Fugaku and Itachi."
"understood."
The secret agents didn't say much; their figures flashed and they disappeared.
A sly smile spread across Karin's small face; she thought the Third Hokage was practically a fool.
I'm always getting completely confused by Lord Kawasaki and Lord Orochimaru.
.....
The Anbu quickly arrived at the Hokage's office.
After listening to the report from the secret service.
The Third Hokage waved his hand, telling them to step back.
Upon hearing this news, the Third Hokage felt much more at ease.
Both Fugaku and Itachi lost their sight, so even if their eyes were copied, they wouldn't have the Mangekyou Sharingan.
In this way, only Kawasaki and Shisui remain as the top combatants of the Uchiha clan, greatly reducing the possibility of a military coup.
As long as the Uchiha clan cannot seize power by force, the Third Hokage's burden will not be so heavy, especially in this special period.
However, Kawasaki was unpredictable and cunning, so the Third Hokage dared not underestimate him and could only wait and see what his next move would be.
Just thinking about it.
Another report came from the secret service outside.
After leaving Orochimaru, Kawasaki went to the Hyuga clan alone.
The Third Hokage's brows furrowed again. Ever since the peace talks with Kumogakure a few years ago, the Hyuga clan had gradually distanced themselves from the Hokage's side.
Although the Hyuga clan later stole the culinary secrets, the relationship between the Uchiha and Hyuga clans did not deteriorate as a result.
Instead, the Uchiha handed over the management of all the shops in the Eighth Street to the Hyuga.
The close relationship between the Uchiha and Hyuga clans is a significant disadvantage for the Hokage.
In recent years, Hyuga has managed the security force very well, handling various issues appropriately.
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the Third Hokage, had no reason to blame the Hyuga clan.
Kawasaki went to see Hinata again this time; I wonder what he's up to.
With the monthly Konoha high-level meeting about to be held, it remains to be seen whether the Uchiha clan will participate.
The situation regarding the battles between Kumogakure and Kirigakure remains unclear.
With a multitude of thoughts running through his mind, the Third Hokage felt extremely exhausted.
He sighed and got up.
He strolled to the window, gazed at the bustling lights outside, picked up his pipe, and took a deep drag.
.....
On the territory of the Hyuga clan.
Kawasaki was warmly welcomed by the Hyuga clan upon his arrival.
Kawasaki had visited once before, and upon returning, he still felt that the layout of the Hyuga clan's territory was grand.
The rockery, courtyard, bamboo grove, and mountain spring are arranged perfectly.
Furthermore, the area is heavily guarded, which goes without saying.
Tall trees prevent spying, and the barrier that weakens perception is also fully deployed.
Even Kawasaki's Eternal Eye was greatly suppressed.
Kawasaki observed as he walked, noting that these were areas the Uchiha clan could learn from and improve upon.
As arranged beforehand, Hyuga Hizashi was also waiting at the clan when Kawasaki visited.
"Hizashi, it's been a long time."
Kawasaki came to Hizashi's study once again and sat down facing Hizashi.
Hizashi poured Kawasaki a cup of tea and said:
"It's rare that you could take the time to come, Kawasaki."
Kawasaki took a sip of tea and said, "You've been quite busy lately, haven't you, sir?"
Ri almost nodded and said:
"With the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village on the verge of war, the future of the battle is unpredictable, and the Hidden Leaf Village has raised its alert level."
Kawasaki gently tapped the table and said:
Linglong10016710(v)
"Don't worry, the battle between Kumogakure and Kirigakure won't last long."
Kawasaki's voice was very certain.
Oh? QQ group 817
Hizashi looked at Kawasaki with a puzzled expression.
Kawasaki returned his smile with a meaningful one.
Since Kawasaki didn't say anything explicitly, Hizashi didn't dwell on the topic, but silently noted down the information.
The Hyuga clan was aware of the previous clash between Kawasaki and Orochimaru.
The Third Hokage immediately ordered the Hyuga clan to close off the surrounding streets.
However, Hinata was unaware of the specific situation inside the barrier.
It's certain that Orochimaru is on the Hokage's side.
"You sparred with Orochimaru the other day?"

Kawasaki waved his hand dismissively and said, "I suffered a little loss; I made some exchanges with the Third Hokage."
"The Third Hokage also gave me the position of honorary elder."
If a clan has two honorary elders, then its influence in Konoha is considerable.
Prior to this, only the Hyuga clan in Konoha had two highly respected honorary elders, but now the Uchiha clan has joined their ranks.
"Hizashi, have you ever thought that Hiruzen Sarutobi has been in the Hokage position for a little too long?"
Kawasaki's sudden remark caused Hizashi's hand to pause slightly.
Clearly, he hadn't expected Kawasaki to bring this up suddenly.
After a moment, Hizashi slowly replied, "It has indeed been quite a long time."
Kawasaki chuckled and said, "Hizashi, who do you think would be suitable to be the Fifth Hokage?"
Hizashi wasn't sure what Kawasaki was really thinking, so he didn't give a direct answer.
"Anyway, our Hyuga clan is not suitable, but it seems that the Third Hokage has no intention of retiring."
Kawasaki said nonchalantly:
"That's because the elders in the family and the clan are already used to it."
If there are new people who can help our family develop better, someone will definitely suggest it.
In general, the position of Hokage is filled by either the previous Hokage or someone who has passed away.
Either the previous Hokage wants to retire, and then the next Hokage will be elected.
Chapter 174 The Hokage Position! Kawasaki's Dominance!
But there is another way: any elder can suggest a replacement during the Hokage's meeting.
If more than two-thirds of the elders agree to a re-election, then even if the current Hokage doesn't want to, there's nothing he can do to stop it.
However, this practice has never occurred since the rules were established.
