Chapter 167 - 167 (2/2)

After a while, Konoha's Sensor Ninjas announced detecting Konoha's victorious troops not too far away.

Konoha's victory this time almost had no casualties after the destruction of Kannabi Bridge. With no resources and with Minato around, the Rock were not able to fight back.

Onoki's desperate tactics all paled in face of Konoha's Yellow Flash, and the thousands of Ninjas he had on the borders quickly collapsed.

As the Ninjas were getting closer to Konoha's gates, the villagers began to cheer.

Minato reluctantly forced out a smile to boost the morale of the people cheering around him.

After seeing that smile, the villagers went louder. But Kushina, whose soul was linked to that of Minato, knew that her boyfriend was forcing his smile.

In fact, Ryo and Minato's mood was far worse that she imagined. Minato, like Ryo, was blaming himself for failing to save his apprentice.

He had the Flying Thunder God, he could get to Kakashi in the blink of an eye, but he missed the window to save his disciples as he spent too much time fighting on the battlefield before deciding to check on them.

His guilt only went deeper every time he looked at Kakashi and Rin; especially Kakashi, who was falling into self-blame as well.

When Kushina saw that there were only two people in Kakashi's team, she understood why Ryo and Minato were so abnormal.

Looking back at Minato, she was very distressed. And then she saw the expression on Kakashi whose soul was crushed and could only sigh helplessly.

Kakashi was looking down, following Minato into Konoha. As a member of the police force saw Kakashi's left eye, his face changed heavily.

He unconsciously wanted to intercept Kakashi and question him, but he was stopped by his colleague.

”Do not act rashly! That's Kakashi Hatake, White Fang's son and Minato san's disciple. We'll report this Sharingan issue to great elder and he'll handle it!”

Soon, every last one of Konoha's Ninjas entered the village, and the civilians who were welcoming them scattered, while the police force went to Katachi Uchiha.

On the other hand, Kakashi returned home, and Sakumo was shocked at seeing his son's eye.

”Kakashi, what's this Sharingan?!” Sakumo asked quickly.

The Katake clan wasn't a Ninjutsu focused one. They relied on Kenjutsu, Taijutsu with Lightning Chakra Mode boosting that in their fighting style.

Sakumo could sense that the Sharingan kept consuming Kakashi's Chakra.

For him, a Sharingan will only be drag, keeping him from hitting his full potential. Therefore, Sakumo was so anxious when he asked the question.

Hearing his father, Kakashi unconsciously reached for his left eye, and then bitterly said: ”It's Obito's.”

”Obito… your teammate?”

”To save me, half of his body was crushed with a boulder. He gave me his Sharingan before he… died.” Kakashi's voice began to tremble.

Obito was Kakashi's savior, and this was his last memento. Sakumo wasn't going to let anyone take that away from his son.

”Kakashi, go to your room and rest for now. I'll handle the matter of your Sharingan.”
