After a round of discussion with Fugaku, Obito helped him transplant Hashirama's cells.
Since this was the final version created in another world by Orochimaru, developed through the collective consciousness and experience of people across the globe, the technique was more perfected than ever before.
So, although during the process there were some signs of Hashirama cells violently rampaging out of control, once Fugaku activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, he successfully suppressed it.
Before long, the Hashirama cells had fused completely with his body.
Feeling the Yang-nature chakra from the Hashirama cells slowly flowing throughout his body, especially flowing into his eyes, beginning to gradually repair the damage from using the Mangekyo, Fugaku couldn't help but sigh.
"Who would've thought, the Uchiha and the Senju, dead enemies since the Warring States era, confronting each other for nearly a thousand years, and yet in the end, their bloodlines could merge so well."
Obito smiled faintly, "They both came from the same source, after all, sharing the same ancestors."
After a pause, Obito tossed Fugaku a scroll, "Inside are the final adjusted samples of Hashirama cells, along with the training and transplantation methods. Clan Leader, keep it safe in the Uchiha clan's vault."
"From now on, every clansman who awakens the Mangekyo Sharingan will be eligible for transplantation. That way, the Uchiha clan's top-level combat power will be guaranteed."
"This counts as me atoning for what I did in the past."
Fugaku grew excited. What Obito had given was simply the greatest treasure to elevate the Uchiha. If every Mangekyo user could use their eyes without side effects, he didn't dare imagine how strong the clan would become.
But Obito reminded him, "Clan Leader, don't be too happy too soon. The Mangekyo isn't so easily awakened. Within it lies a curse, that's the price the Uchiha cannot escape. From the future you learned through Sasuke, countless awakenings of Mangekyo might only be the death throes before the clan's extermination."
It was like a bucket of cold water poured over Fugaku's head, instantly sobering him.
He had just transplanted Hashirama's cells and felt his strength rise greatly, becoming a little carried away.
But Obito was right. In truth, he would rather the Uchiha not give birth to so many powerful ones, and that everyone could live happily instead.
Behind every pair of Mangekyo Sharingan lay a very sad story.
He bowed respectfully to Obito, "Obito, no matter what, thank you. The Uchiha of the past having you may have been a disaster, but the Uchiha of now having you is nothing but a blessing."
Obito smiled, "Clan Leader, things are about settled. Go take care of your affairs. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you further."
"Rin."
After saying that, he used Kamui to send Fugaku back home, then closed his eyes to sense Rin's location.
The next moment, the space around him swirled, and his figure disappeared within.

[Konoha Village, Senju clan grounds, Inside a Large Mansion]
Tsunade was examining Kushina's body. Rin had just come by and was pulled over by Tsunade to help.
Then Rin heard a piece of news that made her cry out in surprise.
"Mistress, you're pregnant?"
Kushina gently stroked her stomach with a tender expression, "Yes, and according to Tsunade-sis's confirmation, it's a girl. Hahaha, my Uzumaki Naruko will soon come keep me company."
A smile also spread across Rin's face, "That's wonderful, Mistress. Congratulations."
Kushina, seeing Rin's sincere gaze, couldn't help but tease, "And you? In the future, do you want to have a boy or a girl with Obito?"
Rin's face flushed slightly.
But having gone through so much with Obito, her outlook and awareness had already surpassed the age where she would become shy just from such jokes.
Especially after experiencing her other self in another world, the one who could quietly wait at the entrance of the Pure Land, her soul had, in a way, ascended.
So, she naturally answered, "Mistress, if that day really comes, either a boy or a girl is fine. Everything goes with fate. Actually, even if we don't have one, it won't matter."
Kushina gave a teasing auntie's laugh, "Not having kids won't do. How about when Minato becomes Hokage, I'll host a grand wedding for you two?"
The words had barely left her mouth when Tsunade's fist came down on her head, "Kushina, don't lead my cute disciple astray!"
As Konoha's Red-Hot Habanero, Kushina had always been the one punching others, never the one being punched.
But Tsunade was different. Born with the authority of the elder sister's bloodline and equipped with her superhuman monstrous strength, she was the only one who dared meet Kushina's violence with greater violence.
So Kushina had to cover her head, "Tsunade-sis, that hurts!"
Tsunade sternly said to Rin, "Before sixteen, you must strictly obey the Three Ninja Taboos. Especially when it comes to anything lustful, it's absolutely forbidden!"
"Even if Obito can't hold back, you must firmly reject him. Understand?"
Rin sulkily answered, "Understood, Tsunade-sensei."
Still, recalling how in the Fourth War Tsunade had sought out Orochimaru and had another her summoned by Edo Tensei, Rin couldn't help but feel a faint sting inside.
She asked, "Tsunade-sensei, if one day the entire ninja world united and demanded you hand me over, would you?"
Tsunade immediately raised her fist and smashed a crater into the ground, "Whoever dares do that, I'll smash them to pieces!"
Rin instantly relaxed.
Right, in that other world she hadn't forged such deep feelings with Tsunade. Add to that how back then Tsunade had already been forced into being Hokage, carrying humanity's fate on her shoulders, many things had been out of her control.
Now she no longer minded. She even raised her own fist, "Actually, no need for Tsunade-sensei to act. I can smash their dog heads myself."
Tsunade paused, then suddenly recalled how, when Rin had just been helping her, Rin's chakra control was so skillful it was already on par with her own.
Although Rin's combat strength wasn't weak, before it had only shown in her being a perfect Dragon Vein jinchuriki. In areas that required accumulated experience, she had still been behind.
So how had that gap suddenly closed?
Tsunade asked curiously, "Rin, you've only gone on one mission, been out just a few days. Why do I feel your chakra control has suddenly improved by an enormous level?"
Rin's eyes grew deep.
After experiencing the entire Fourth War with Obito, her outlook had improved greatly.
That made her suddenly understand many things. Even her use of chakra had inexplicably leapt forward.
Maybe chakra really was such a mysterious power. Experience and awareness truly grew through the events one went through.
Then what kind of answer would Obito give at a time like this?
She suddenly grew playful, "Tsunade-sensei, maybe I'm just the once-in-ten-thousand-years genius from legend."
Smack!
Tsunade thumped Rin on the head, displeased, "As expected, following that brat, you've picked up bad habits."
Rin couldn't help but cover her head. Sure enough, copying Obito's way of talking easily invited a beating.
At this moment, the space around Rin twisted, and Obito appeared at her side.
Seeing the group playing around, Obito smiled cheerfully and greeted, "Big Sis, Lady Tsunade, hello there."
Tsunade froze. Looking at Obito's sudden appearance, it took her a while to react, it was the Flying Thunder God Technique.
As for Kushina, she was already frowning unhappily.
"Hey, Obito, you haven't learned a single one of your teacher's good points, but you've mastered all his bad ones. Always coming and going without a word, suddenly popping up in front of people. This won't be allowed in the future, understand?"
Seeing Big Sis raise her fist, Obito could only yield, "Big Sis, I'll definitely be careful next time."
