The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

Chapter 166 Uchiha Kakashi

Before we knew it, it was mid-October, and the autumn chill was deepening.

Golden maple leaves fell in Kakashi's courtyard, carpeting it like a soft rug.

Since Rin Nohara's resurrection, Kakashi has turned down almost all missions. He even stopped his daily training, spending all his time with Rin.

This has been going on for over a month.

Meanwhile, in the council hall of the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Water, Uchiha Mitsumine looked at the report presented by the Anbu, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

The report clearly stated: "Kakashi Hatake has not taken on any missions for nearly a month, his attendance at the training ground is zero, and he spends his days at home with Rin Nohara."

"Hmph, Kakashi is such a disappointment."

Uchiha Mitsunori put down the report and tapped his fingertips lightly on the table: "It's true that once you have a lover, you forget your 'duty'. He's a tool I've carefully cultivated, and I can't let him go to waste like this."

He raised his hand to summon the Anbu: "Someone, bring Kakashi to the Daimyo's residence."

Soon, Kakashi appeared in the council hall of the Daimyo's mansion.

He was dressed in casual clothes, and his hair was slightly messier than usual, clearly because he had been summoned suddenly and hadn't had time to tidy it up.

Facing Uchiha Sanfeng, who was sitting in the main seat, he subconsciously lowered his head.

Kakashi sensed dissatisfaction from the other person's oppressive gaze.

"Kakashi, I'm a little disappointed with your performance over the past month."

Uchiha Mitsunori's tone was quite calm, but it made Kakashi's heart sink.

Kakashi immediately bowed, his tone apologetic: "I'm sorry, Daimyo! I was negligent and shouldn't have let personal matters interfere with the mission and training."

He knew that the three peak lords had high hopes for him, and his performance over the past month had indeed fallen short of those expectations.

Looking at his sincere expression, Uchiha Mitsunori's coldness lessened slightly: "Let bygones be bygones, consider it as time for the two of you to enjoy your honeymoon."

Kakashi looked up abruptly, a slight blush creeping onto his face. "Thank you, Daimyo!"

He hadn't expected His Excellency to describe this time as a "honeymoon," which made him feel a little embarrassed, yet also warm inside.

Uchiha Mitsunori took out a silver syringe from a drawer. The syringe contained a pale red liquid that shimmered under the light.

He stood up and walked over to Kakashi, holding up the syringe: "Kakashi, this is the Uchiha Gene Optimizer. After the injection, your chakra level will increase significantly, and there's a high probability you'll awaken a pair of Sharingan of your own."

Kakashi's eyes widened instantly, his gaze fixed on the syringe.

He knew the power of the Sharingan all too well.

Over the years, thanks to transplanting Obito's Sharingan, his strength has greatly increased, but it is still someone else's eye. Using it will consume a lot of chakra and there will be a rejection reaction.

If only I could have my own Sharingan...

Before he could think it through, Uchiha Mitsumine continued, "I've decided to bestow it upon you, but on one condition... you must change your surname to Uchiha."

Kakashi was stunned, his brows furrowing. "Change your surname to Uchiha? Lord Daimyo, isn't that a bit inappropriate? Changing your surname is such a big deal..."

He never thought of leaving the Hatake clan, after all, it was the surname left by his father, Hatake Sakumo, and it was his root.

Seeing his hesitation, Uchiha Mitsunori's tone turned serious: "Kakashi, a man cannot be without strength. Without the Sharingan, you're just an ordinary Jonin now. If one day, someone attacks Nohara Rin, just like back then, would you want to see her die in front of you again?"

"I……"

Kakashi felt as if his heart had been struck by a heavy hammer. He saw Nohara Rin fall into his arms, and blood once again stained his hands.

He never wanted to experience that feeling of helplessness and pain again.

He suddenly knelt down, his forehead slamming heavily against the ground, his voice resolute: "I am willing to change my surname to Uchiha! I beg Your Excellency to bestow upon me the Uchiha gene-enhancing agent!"

In order to protect Rin Nohara, Kakashi was willing to change his surname or pay an even greater price.

Uchiha Mitsunori nodded in satisfaction, reached out to help Kakashi up, and pointed the syringe at his neck: "The process of gene fusion will be a little painful, so please bear with it. I will use my eye power to help you develop the Sharingan, so that you can adapt to this power more quickly and have your own Sharingan."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will endure it!" Kakashi gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and prepared himself to bear the pain.

The cold needle pierced the neck, and a pale red liquid slowly flowed into the body.

At first, it was just a slight stinging pain, but soon a burning sensation spread from his neck to his whole body, as if countless fine needles were pricking his body, or as if flames were burning inside him.

Kakashi's body began to tremble, his clothes were instantly soaked with cold sweat, and his teeth were clenched so tightly that they made a grinding sound, but he did not utter a single groan.

Seeing this, Uchiha Mitsunori reached out and placed his hand on Kakashi's head, slowly channeling his pure eye power into Kakashi's body, guiding the Uchiha genes to merge with his body.

"Relax, don't resist."

Uchiha Mitsumine's voice rang in his ears, carrying a soothing power.

Note 1: After Kakashi's eyes were gouged out, Mitsunori Uchiha had someone clone an eye using Kakashi's cells, so Kakashi now has both eyes.

Note 2: Kakashi has type O blood, so the gene-enhancing agent he received was from Obito Uchiha, who also had type O blood, minimizing the body's rejection rate. (Kakashi, Obito Uchiha, and Madara Uchiha all have type O blood.)

Note 3: As for why he has Obito Uchiha's blood and genes, it's because when Obito Uchiha first ran to the palace, he was beaten to the point of vomiting blood by the three peaks of the Uchiha clan, and he specially had them collected.

After an unknown amount of time, the burning sensation in my body gradually subsided.

Kakashi felt his chakra surging like a rising tide, at least twice as much as before.

What surprised him even more was that he possessed his own two-tomoe Sharingan!

Looking at the Sharingan in Kakashi's eyes, Uchiha Mitsunori withdrew his hand: "Now your chakra reserves have increased significantly, and you've even gained your own Sharingan. Develop it well, and maybe you'll have your own Mangekyou Sharingan in the future."

Kakashi felt the powerful energy within him, and recalling Rin Nohara's gentle smile, his eyes reddened slightly.

He bowed again, his voice filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Your Excellency! I will certainly not let you down and will use this power to protect Rin and the Land of Water!"

Uchiha Mitsunori waved his hand: "Alright, you can go back now. Remember to accept missions on time from now on, and stop just focusing on dating."

"Yes!" Kakashi nodded in response and turned to leave the council chamber.
