The next day.
Yeruashi came out of his room and entered the living room.
At this moment, Kurenai was preparing breakfast and, sensing Yeruashi's presence, she abruptly turned her head and exclaimed in surprise, "Yeruashi? You're back!"
In public, Rin and Kurenai usually referred to him as the Fifth Hokage, but at home they just called him Yeruashi.
Yeruashi felt very strange when he was called Hokage-sama of the house in the past.
"Yes, prepare an extra portion."
Yeruashi nodded.
Recovering from his surprise, Kurenai smiled and went back to cooking.
"Big brother?"
"When did you come back?"
Kakashi opened the door and yawned as he walked out of his room, but when he saw Yeruashi sitting on the couch, he immediately stopped and asked dejectedly.
Yeruashi was a man of few words, "Last night."
Kakashi looked at him and said, "Have you settled matters in Kirigakure yet?"
"Not yet."
Yeruashi shook his head and said, "I'll settle it after breakfast."
Obito's matter was settled rather late, so he didn't have time to deal with Kirigakure, and the issue of the peace negotiations and the swords of mist is still unresolved.
Thinking about the seven mist swords, Yeruashi took out the Kusanagi Sword and threw it at Kakashi.
Whoosh!
Kakashi caught the blade and looked at his older brother with a puzzled expression.
Yeruashi stretched out on the couch, looked at Kakashi and said lazily, "This sword is yours now, I can't use it anymore."
The sword formed from the Truth Seeking Balls is on a different level compared to the Kusanagi sword, and Yeruashi sees no sense in first infusing senjutsu chakra into the Kusanagi sword and then wrapping it with a cloak with the Truth Seeking Balls.
Kakashi stared dumbfounded at the Kusanagi Sword in his hands, then turned his gaze to Yeruashi and asked a bit incredulously, "Big brother, your strength? Has it increased significantly again?"
Recently, Yeruashi mentioned that if his power goes to the next level, he won't be able to use the Kusanagi sword.
Yeruashi just smiled mysteriously, without answering.
Kakashi: "..."
It always seemed to him that Yeruashi's power was growing too fast. Although he also trains hard every day, but his gap only increases every day, there seems to be no way to reduce it even a little bit.
It made him wonder if maybe he was a fake brother.
Obviously...
Yeruashi was only a year older than him!
But right now, Kakashi had no confidence in defeating even the Yeruashi of two years ago! Not to mention his current strength!
"By the way, Kakashi, Obito is dead!"
Yeruashi thought for a moment and decided to tell him about Obito.
These words made Kakashi, who was looking at the Kusanagi sword, stop abruptly and looked at Yeruashi, while Rin, who had just come out of her room, also stopped abruptly and looked at Yeruashi.
Yeruashi looked at Rin and then slowly described the whole process.
"...Well, here's how it went."
"Obito handed me his Mangekyou Sharingan."
Yeruashi took out the scroll that contained Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan, placed it on the table and looked at Kakashi, saying, "I don't need these eyes, but Obito hoped that you could use this power to protect Konoha and Rin."
Kakashi and Rin stood in silence.
Kurenai carefully served the breakfast on the table, trying not to disturb Kakashi and Rin, she was also clear about Obito's situation.
Kakashi approached the table, picked up the scroll and took a deep breath, his eyes shone with complex emotions as he said, "Obito, this guy... I decided to put all the responsibility on others, it's in his style..."
Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan was not only power to him, but also a responsibility.
There was no way for him to avoid it.
"I wouldn't recommend you use it right now."
Yeruashi looked at Kakashi seriously and said, "Due to the lack of the lineage of the Uchiha Clan, you won't be able to deactivate the Sharingan after the transplant, which will take quite a heavy burden on your chakra. I advise you to first transplant one eye and increase your chakra volume as soon as possible, and as soon as you develop the more basic Sage Body, you can also transplant the second eye."
Kakashi fell into deep thoughts after hearing the words of his older brother.
These words of Yeruashi mean that now he is not even able to carry the power left by Obito, and then he thought about Rin, who is now the Jinchuriki of the Sanbi.
These thoughts made Kakashi doubt his life.
Am I really a 'genius'?
...
As a result, Kakashi decided to temporarily postpone the Mangekyou Sharingan transplant and concentrate on increasing his chakra volume, and then practice the special Senjutsu created by Yeruashi for the development of the Sage Body.
Obito's eyes will be transplanted after developing the Sage Body to the point where he can carry the power of Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan, at which point he won't look so awkward in front of Yeruashi and Rin.
For next year.
Kakashi will go into crazy practice mode.
After breakfast, Yeruashi went to his office and reviewed the results of Konan's work, then created a shadow clone and concentrated on the space seal left on Mei's body.
After a moment, he activated Hiraishin and disappeared.
...
Kirigakure.
The fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, did not die.
But although Yagura managed to survive, he was seriously injured. Due to multiple fractures and internal injuries, he will not be able to move normally and perform his duties in the near future, fortunately, he was successfully saved from the effects of Genjutsu.
After waking up from the illusion and realizing everything that had happened, Yagura, as Mizukage, quickly made the decision to temporarily hand over all matters to Terumi Mei.
Terumi Mei is an Elite Jounin who has received recognition from many Kirigakure ninja and, after receiving Yagura's order, the Anbu also began to temporarily obey her.
Mei quickly eliminated the chaos that had arisen in Kirigakure.
However.
She had been doing it all night.
After finishing most of the chores, Mei, tired, returned home and went to bed without taking off her clothes.
In a neat and tidy girl's bedroom.
Mei opened her eyes.
Slowly regaining her composure, she stood up and rubbed her temples.
"He never showed up..."
She had stayed up most of the night yesterday, not only because of the need to control the order in Kirigakure, but also because she was waiting for Yeruashi to return, as he had said earlier that he was going to take care of the Kirigakure issue 'on the way'.
But as it turned out, he never showed up.
Mei stood up and began to remove her well-worn clothes, preparing to take a bath.
...
After a while.
Mei came out of the bath, dressed.
Suddenly, her face turning noticeably red, she slowly turned her head and spoke unnaturally to Yeruashi, who was sitting on the couch in the living room, "Ah, I apologize for keeping you waiting."
"Come on, Hokage-sama."
