Kakashi sat cross-legged on the floor of his small Hell's Kitchen apartment.
His mask was pulled down, a rare moment of relaxation as he sipped tea, his thoughts were occupied with Odin's words.
'Odin said my eyes absorbed the essence of Shinto gods present in Asgard. So, the Amatsu-Kami were there once. But whose essence did the sharingan absorb? And have I awakened any new ability?'
He mumbled to himself, his voice low. "I don't feel any changes. I knew how to use Kamui when I awakened my Mangekyou—it came with a manual, basically. If I awaken new abilities, there'd probably be a manual for those too."
'Like a jutsu scroll, just in my head. Convenient, but complicated.'
His thoughts deepened, tracing the possibilities. "The question is, will I awaken each Amatsu-Kami's abilities in both eyes? Each eye having a different power from the same god? That'd be a mess."
'One eye's already a strain. Two sets of god-level jutsu? I'd need Naruto's chakra reserves to use even two of those abilities in a single battle.'
He sighed, his mind drifting to Kamar-Taj's records, which he'd skimmed during a SHIELD mission.
'My Kamui likely came from Bishamon. They mentioned Bishamon, the Japanese god of war and fortune and a member of Amatsu- Kamu. His Kamui let him evade attacks, paired with swordsmanship that made him a battlefield terror.'
Kakashi's thoughts turned somber, remembering Obito. 'Obito might've awakened Bishamon's power. He cursed his bad luck, blamed himself for Rin's death. Wanted the strength to change his fate.'
His eye softened. 'These eyes carry more than I ever thought. Obito's legacy, now gods?'
He shook his head, setting his tea down. "Enough brooding. Time to work on that puppet."
Kakashi stood,'Fury never asked about the Destroyer. Good.'
He'd sent the Asgardian construct to his Kamui dimension during the Puente Antiguo fight, making it seem like it vanished with Thor's crew.
'Agent Sitwell was looking at the destroyer when it vanished, and I don't need Fury hounding me for stealing SHIELD's new toy.'
He activated Kamui, the swirl pulling the Destroyer's massive frame into the room. Its metallic body gleamed, runes etched across its surface.
He studied it, running his fingers over the metal. 'This thing would conduct chakra very well. Durable, too—stronger than any puppet Sasori ever made.'
His thoughts turned towards the runes,'The runes work like a Yamanaka's mind-transfer jutsu—remote control with magic. I can tweak them for chakra, skip the strings, and avoid knocking myself out like a Yamanaka'
He smirked under his mask. 'This would work. It could replace the use of a shadow clone, thus saving my chakra. This thing can also store chakra in its runes for days, letting me fight without draining myself.'
Kakashi wanted to make the puppet function automatically without any input from him like how a shadow clone does.
He wanted to keep the weapons already installed in the destroyer and add some of his own. And with stored chakra, he would not have to keep giving it chakra, he would just have to restore the chakra whenever it's chakra tank is emptied.
'If I sync it to my chakra, it'll move like an extension of me. Perfect for my style.' He started working on the puppet.
As he worked, Pakkun appeared, his nose twitching. "Boss, bad news. Madame Gao—the one you killed? Saw her. Alive, breathing, walking around like nothing happened. She and the Hand are laying low, probably scared of you, but they're planning something."
Kakashi's eye narrowed, 'So, the Hand's fingers are immortal, huh? Good thing I know how to deal with immortal people.'
He recalled Hidan, the Akatsuki's unkillable zealot, and the rituals that kept him alive. Seal their chakra, trap their soul, or bury them where they can't crawl out. Gao was no different.
Kakashi thought,'With my current Fuinjutsu skills, it would be easy to seal her away or any other fingers of the Hand. But I would have to find how they managed to revive her. I am pretty sure that she was dead when my destroyed her heart with the lightning blade.'
'Kamar Taj records say they are looking for dragon bones. Their immortality must be related to it somehow.' Kakashi thought
Pakkun flopped onto the floor, his thoughts grumpy. No hammer, no bone yet. This world's unfair. "Boss, you gonna zap Gao again? She's creepy."
Kakashi's voice was dry. "Pakkun, chill. We'll handle her. Keep sniffing out her hideout. Also look for other hand agents around especially the other fingers."
Kakashi thought about Agent Sitwell. He has some suspicions regarding the man.
"Also keep an eye on SHIELD. Tell the pups to see if there is anything suspicious with any of the Shield agents."
Kakashi looked at Pakkun who looked a little sad.'He's still sulking about Mjölnir. Odin's bone better be worth it.'
Pakkun's tail twitched, "Fine. But you better make sure to get that thing from that Old man soon. I don't know why but I really liked biting the hammer. It's as if my inner dog side overtook my mind."
Kakashi wanted to say,'What do you mean by inner dog? You are a dog!' but he knew better.
