Chapter 98 It’s broken, I have a brain!

As the Great Toad Sage fell asleep again, Fukasaku Sage left the cave with the pendant that housed Jiraiya.

Shima Sennin said: "Old man, if the child Jiraiya talks about is really the child of prophecy, little Jiraiya's wish can be regarded as fulfilled."

Fukasaku Sennin nodded slightly: "Yes, Jiraiya took this as his destiny, and now he can finally get what he wanted."

As for Jiraiya in the pendant, hearing the words of the two immortals, he also had mixed feelings in his heart.

I originally thought that in the prophecy, the Big Toad Fairy said that I traveled around the world in search of the prophecy's son, but I didn't expect...

well!

After all, it is far away in the horizon but close in front of us, but we still need to confirm whether it is true or not.

Jiraiya thought silently, Konoha? It has indeed been a long time since he went back.

…

Konoha, cemetery.

After Kakashi and Yamato returned and recounted the situation to the third generation, they never performed the mission.

He used the injury as an excuse to rest, feeling his eyes still vaguely uncomfortable, and the words of the rope tree swirling in his heart.

At this time, Kakashi looked down at the tombstone, which had the words "Grave of Harano Lin" engraved on it. There was a bouquet of flowers placed on it, making him silent for a long time.

In the past, he was numb to himself and just wanted to be a real "ninja". He focused on the task, did not need to think, and lived only to complete the task.

But now, some things, like Shengshu, suddenly made him feel like he has a brain, but having a brain is not a good thing.

Once he thinks about it, things that he once didn't think were problematic are now considered carefully and silenced.

And the illusion at that time...

Kakashi looked up at the tree over there, walked slowly over, and stared over there.

Exactly the same!

Even after so many years, except for some more tombstones, the rest of the picture has not changed at all.

If that illusion is real, who is that masked man? Is it Madara Uchiha?

But……

Kakashi denied this answer from the bottom of his heart, and subconsciously thought of that person, but that person should have been dead long ago, dying in front of him.

"Kakashi-senpai, you are here!"

At this time, Yamato came to the cemetery, looked at Kakashi next to the big tree, and couldn't help shouting.

"Speaking of which, this is my first time to visit Konoha's cemetery. Looking at these people who sacrificed their lives for Konoha, I can't help but sigh."

Yamato was walking and talking, his face full of sighs, looking at the strange names on the tombstones. These people were all heroes of Konoha.

Maybe one day, he will have his bones buried here, or maybe there will only be a monument and no bones left.

Kakashi looked at him, watched him pass by Lin's tombstone, and said, "Yamato, just stand where you are and don't move."

"ah?"

Yamato was stunned, stood there and looked at Kakashi, a little nervous, and said with a slight trembling: "Kakashi-senpai, what's wrong? Is there...is there anything?"

Such a reaction left Kakashi speechless. I didn't expect Yamato to be afraid of ghosts?

He sighed and said, "Nothing, just stand there and talk to yourself."

Yamato was stunned again, is this just the matter?

He didn't refuse. He looked at the recently taken care of the tombstone in front of him and began to think about it.

Kakashi was next to the big tree, looking at Yamato over there, and the sound of his thoughts could be clearly heard. He was silent for a while, and fell into deep thought for a while.

Yamato over there finished his thoughts, raised his head and secretly glanced at Kakashi, he couldn't help but feel depressed, he didn't listen at all.

"Kakashi-senpai, are you okay?"

Yamato's shout made Kakashi wake up from his thoughts and nodded to him.

"Well, it's okay."

"You are looking for me, what's the matter with you?"

Usually if nothing happened, Yamato would not come to him, and even came to the cemetery.

Yamato nodded: "There is indeed something going on. It seems to be related to the latest development plan in the village."

Kakashi frowned, raised his head and said, "Is it related to Danzo?"

Yamato did not deny it, but said with a bit of worry in his eyes: "It is indeed Danzo-sama's plan."

Then he added: "But the plan is still being carried out secretly. It seems that Kakashi-senpai will be the first batch."

"The first batch?"

Kakashi murmured, his expression uncertain. If it were before, he would not refuse or question it.

But now, his brain is very confused, and he thinks there are problems with many things, and it is the same this time, which makes him resist from the bottom of his heart.

Kakashi asked again: "Does the Third Hokage know about this?"

Yamato nodded cautiously: "The list this time is for Hokage-sama to see personally. I am also here to send a message that Hokage-sama summons you."

Kakashi was silent: "I know, I'm going to see the Hokage right now."

…

Hokage Building, inside the Hokage's office.

The third generation turned his back to Kakashi, looked at the village outside, and said in a deep voice: "Kakashi, are you dissatisfied that I agreed to you as the first batch of people in Danzo's experiment?"

Kakashi respectfully said: "No!"

The third generation sighed softly: "Don't be like this, Kakashi, I know this matter is very difficult for you, but now you are indeed the best candidate."

The third generation turned around slowly, looked at Kakashi in front of him, sat down on his seat, and crossed his hands on the table.

"I have blocked the news of Jiraiya's death. I don't want the village, which is now in danger, to know this news and make people panic."

"Similarly, among the next generation, after Jiraiya's death, there will no longer be anyone with enough prestige. This is what I'm worried about."

Kakashi was silent and understood this very well. In today's Konoha, those with strong status are not suitable, and those with suitable status are not strong. It is indeed not optimistic for the Hokage family.

The third generation's eyes darkened slightly and continued: "That's why I didn't refuse the list he gave me for Danzo's experiment this time."

Seeing this, Kakashi couldn't help but ask: "Hokage-sama, don't you know what this experiment is?"

The third generation pushed out a document in front of him, and Kakashi stepped forward to get it and read it carefully.

Immediately, his eyes widened slightly, and he was a little shocked when he looked at the information above.

Fusing the cells of the first Hokage allows people who have lost their limbs and cannot become ninjas to re-grow their limbs, regain their fighting power as ninjas, and master the Wood Release.

The third generation said slowly: "There is another key point about this experiment."

Kakashi closed the document, took a deep breath, and continued: "Sharingan?"

The third generation nodded, a glint flashing in his eyes: "Yes, the other part of this experiment is about fusing the first-generation cells so that the Sharingan can be used."

"This is also the reason why I want you to be the first batch of personnel."
