At the bedside.
"As expected of Kakashi, a genius who went to the battlefield at a young age. His brain's nerve cells are more active than others."
Satoru carefully examined Kakashi's body.
Kakashi had suffered a mental breakdown, which led to his coma.
He was a professional in this area, but he still felt it was better to leave the treatment to Tsunade; he would just ensure Kakashi's body was in better shape.
Why do this?
Of course, it was to welcome Tsunade and the others as the Fifth Hokage.
To prevent Tsunade from causing any trouble and making him continue as Hokage, he decided to leave the credit where it was due to Tsunade.
Anyway, Kakashi would be lying down a lot in the future, so one more time wouldn't hurt.
While examining Kakashi's body, Satoru also discovered that the Sharingan in his eye was still drawing his Chakra, even at this moment. This, to some extent, was one of the reasons for Kakashi's prolonged coma.
Kakashi's Sharingan was completely different from Sasuke's.
There were slight differences in its structure and Chakra nature.
He also figured out why Kakashi's Sharingan couldn't be deactivated.
It was due to the mutual repulsion between his body and the Sharingan.
To the body, the Sharingan was a foreign object.
To the Sharingan, the body was also a foreign object.
However, the Sharingan needed Chakra to sustain itself, which created a situation similar to the theory Satoru developed when creating the Pupil Setting Hand.
The ratio of physical energy to mental energy.
When physical and mental energy are out of balance, one will crave the other.
This was currently the case with Kakashi and his Sharingan.
The Sharingan repelled Kakashi's body, and because its mental energy ratio was highest, it needed physical energy to balance it, leading to Kakashi's insufficient Chakra.
This was because physical energy was supplied to the Sharingan, reducing the amount of Chakra that could be refined.
"This is another excellent research topic, and I can't help but marvel at Orochimaru's attainments!"
Satoru exclaimed.
The technique that could balance the energy of Hashirama cells and the Sharingan was truly amazing.
Fortunately, he was even more amazing now. Although he hadn't yet compared it to Hashirama cells, he could roughly infer that his body was very strong now.
After collecting Kakashi's body data, Satoru quickly formed hand seals.
As the hand seals were completed, countless Sealing Technique formulas transformed into runes, spreading across Kakashi's entire body. The nerves he had researched to be separable were sealed by him in a concealed way within Kakashi's Sharingan.
Satoru didn't know if the plot would still be the same as the original, where Madara would take Kakashi's eye.
But having a backup plan was still a good idea.
He was generous now; he didn't mind this bit of Chakra.
He wanted to prevent accidents as much as possible.
After all, in a transcendent world, accidents always happen.
A Ninja's quality is also about utilizing information, and there's nothing wrong with that.
"All right, it's done. Sleep well, Kakashi. You'll be busy in the future."
...Konoha, Tenyu's secret training ground.
Konohamaru walked alone under the shade of the trees, without the Konohamaru Corps behind him.
His eyes were lonely now, lacking their usual liveliness.
"Grandpa..."
Unbeknownst to him, he had arrived at the training ground where he and Tenyu had reconciled these past few days.
After receiving the insights gifted by Tenyu those days, he had worked very hard.
Until... this wasn't the first familiar place he had walked to.
His two companions, Moegi and Ise Udon, had already been sent away by him.
He wanted to be alone and quiet.
Puff puff puff!
Clang clang!
Suddenly, a sound came, and Konohamaru looked in its direction.
Through the gaps in the grass and trees.
He could see two figures engaged in fierce combat.
"Taneki, take this, Iron Fist."
"Dragon Ascent Sword."
Bang!
Konohamaru drew closer and saw Tenyu and Taneki training.
Maki was watching from the side, sucking on a lollipop.
"Tenyu has improved again, so amazing."
"Taneki, to ensure that no one invades Konoha again in the future, we must fight back with our fists.
We must train. Next time, we will absolutely not hide in a shelter, waiting for adults to protect us."
"Brother is right. In the future, we must protect the Village and save everyone.
We can't be like Konohamaru, who is completely dejected every day and doesn't train anymore.
In the future, we will protect people like him. Tomorrow, let's bring Moegi and the others.
Konohamaru not training shouldn't affect Moegi and the others."
"Sister, you said it so well. We must become stronger and protect Konohamaru.
He is no longer worthy of being our opponent. He cries all day and doesn't do anything serious."
"Yes, like Dad, like Grandpa, protect Mom and family; don't be a crybaby."
Konohamaru listened to their conversation, his fists clenched.
What do you know? You don't know anything.
Thinking of his grandpa, tears streamed down Konohamaru's face.
But then he remembered his grandpa's words.
"Konohamaru, if you want to be Hokage, you have to protect everyone.
It's not just about defeating Grandpa. You have to train hard for that."
His grandpa's kind smile appeared in Konohamaru's mind.
On one side was the sadness of his grandpa's passing, and on the other were the words his grandpa had once taught him.
He wanted to go out and refute Tenyu and the others, but the words caught in his throat.
Wiping away his tears, Konohamaru slowly retreated.
After Konohamaru had gone far, the three of them also stopped their previous conversation.
Tenyu: "Won't this provoke him even more? It wouldn't be good if he did something bad."
Maki: "Given Konohamaru's feelings, he must really admire his grandpa, right? Lord Third always said in his lectures that to be Hokage, you must protect your comrades. Saying this should cheer him up a bit, right?"
Taneki: "Tenyu, Maki, should we go back and ask Uncle Satoru?"
This was a temporary decision made by the three of them to invigorate this dejected Konohamaru.
Because all three of them had strong sensory abilities, they had already discovered Konohamaru before he even got close.
After discussing, they came up with a hasty plan.
Konohamaru's lack of motivation made them feel a bit down too.
After all, he had always been their rival.
"That makes sense. I'll ask when we go back. We can't let Konohamaru remain dejected," Tenyu said.
"Indeed, if we grow up and compete for the position of Hokage without a strong rival, wouldn't it have no value at all?"
Maki also nodded... Meanwhile, Satoru had already arrived at the Third Hokage's grave.
He placed chrysanthemums on it.
"My condolences. Lord Third was a hero who died in battle, a glorious name, wasn't he?"
Satoru said to Asuma, who was sitting in front of the grave.
"Hmm~ This is a Ninja's destiny; I had already come to realize that.
It's just that when I was young and rebellious, I spent too little time with the old man.
Now that I think about it, I really miss the days when I argued with him.
Back then, I really hated the old man; he had to manage everything about me, and because he was Hokage, he didn't have much time, which led to family issues not being handled well.
Haha, now I've also somewhat understood what 'the will of fire' is!"
As Asuma spoke, he suddenly laughed, wanting to light a cigarette, but ultimately put it back.
