Chapter 025: Izuna Shocked — Uchiha Had No Hokage?! (Asking for support/data)
When Terumī Mei finally mastered multitasking and set off, on the waters near the Land of Waves...
Kakashi stared ahead grimly.
He realized he might have underestimated things.
After his Chidori shattered the Executioner's Blade, a thick mist began to rise.
The mist emerged from the center of the sea, merging with the surrounding sea fog to envelop everyone's vision.
Kakashi focused chakra on the soles of his feet and stood directly on the water's surface. He held half of the Executioner's Blade in his hand, but his expression was full of caution.
His chakra was limited. When he realized kunai couldn't block the opponent's attacks earlier, he immediately opted for his big move — Chidori.
Though it broke the Executioner's Blade, it also consumed a quarter of his chakra.
Now, the mist clearly wasn't natural — it had to be Kirigakure's Hidden Mist Technique.
"So much fog..."
"Can't even see clearly," Naruto muttered.
Sasuke.
"Sharingan!"
Sasuke actually came in handy here. His dark pupils began to turn crimson.
In his red eyes, a single tomoe formed.
A one-tomoe Sharingan.
"Sharingan is the Uchiha clan's Kekkei Genkai," Sasuke explained, assuming Naruto and Kitahara Kaede were seeing it for the first time.
"It's one of the most powerful dojutsu."
"It can perceive all genjutsu, ninjutsu, and even taijutsu."
"It has the ability to copy and analyze."
"And right now…"
"This mist is likely a Kirigakure jutsu."
"But…"
"As long as we find the source of the opponent's chakra…"
"Found it!" Sasuke suddenly shouted. "Kakashi-sensei, your left side — at your waist!"
"Something's coming!"
Kakashi remained on guard, listening carefully to Sasuke's warning. He immediately raised the broken Executioner's Blade to block the left side.
At the same time, his right hand — with the speed of a lifelong bachelor — swiftly pulled out two kunai.
Clang!
A spark flew from Kakashi's right side, at his back.
Meanwhile, a figure appeared on his left, only to be struck down by the blade — it was just a water clone.
The real Zabuza had attacked from the right.
Sasuke had misjudged...
If Kakashi hadn't been alert, he would've been cut in half by Zabuza.
So his vigilance saved his life.
Sasuke. "Sorry."
He hadn't had much opportunity to use the Sharingan back in the village, so he was still a newbie.

[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: ...I can't watch this anymore.
[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: How can this Uchiha Sasuke be this clumsy?
[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: Is this what Uchiha has become?
[Senju Tobirama]: He's weak, yeah, but wasn't this how you were as a kid?
[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: He only looks like me, but I was a genius — he's not even close.
[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: Senju Tobirama, are you always trying to argue with me?
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: Now, now, don't fight.
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: It's rare for the three of us to be together like this.
[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: ...Who wants to be with you two?
[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: I just want my big brother to show up.
[Senju Tobirama]: Speaking of your brother — your "evil" Uchiha Madara became a Konoha traitor, and every major crisis in Konoha has traces of him involved.
[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: ...
[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: ...What's that got to do with me?
[Senju Tobirama]: Nothing. Just stating facts.
[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: Wait a second, Senju Tobirama — don't tell me you're trying to trick me into fighting my own brother.
[Senju Tobirama]: ...
Tobirama didn't reply.
Because… he was planning exactly that.
Even though they were all dead now, his research and forbidden jutsu could still influence the future.
One of his forbidden techniques — Edo Tensei — could bring the dead back to the living world.
So, in the future, if Madara ever appeared again, Tobirama's idea was to use Edo Tensei to summon Izuna and have him go against Madara.
If Izuna showed up and directly attacked Madara, the chance of success might be 70%.
That was Tobirama's next move.
At this moment, however, Izuna suddenly shouted.
[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: Oh! That guy Kakashi also has a Sharingan!
[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: Oh! Nice!
[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: It's getting good!
Izuna got excited.
After being ambushed, Kakashi lifted the forehead protector that usually covered his left eye.
And that's when everyone saw — his left eye was also a Sharingan.
And not just Sasuke's one-tomoe version, but… a complete Mangekyo Sharingan.
[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: This Uchiha Kakashi is actually quite impressive.
[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: His group nickname is Sixth Hokage, right?
[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: Hah, the Uchiha clan is actually pretty strong!
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: ...
[Senju Tobirama]: Pfft...
[Senju Tobirama]: Hahaha...
Tobirama suddenly burst out laughing.
[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: ???
[Minato Namikaze]: No, Kakashi isn't part of the Uchiha clan.
[Minato Namikaze]: His Sharingan was a gift from Uchiha Obito — my student — who entrusted it to him before dying.
[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: ???
[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: ???
[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: So my Uchiha clan… never had a Hokage?
[Minato Namikaze]: No, never.
Minato replied helplessly.
[Tobirama's Achievement - Izuna]: "Hokage" literally means "Fire Shadow," doesn't it? And my Uchiha clan is born with Fire Release affinity!
[Minato Namikaze]: Well...
[Senju Tobirama]: Just keep watching.
Tobirama spoke again.
Even he found it odd.
It made sense for Hiruzen to assign Kakashi to mentor Naruto, but Sasuke's abilities were so subpar — why would Kakashi personally take him on?
Was there really no one left in the Uchiha clan?
