Chapter 183 Catching up with Kakashi, almost late
Night, a time-traveling room.
"It did happen as expected! This time the whitening is more obvious than before and has spread all over my body, so this enhancement can only end here." Standing in front of the mirror, Ishikawa looked at his slightly pale skin and sighed helplessly.
This had happened before. After the initial shock, Ishikawa noticed that the whitening would gradually disappear after the doorknob was touched a second, third, and fourth time...
However, as the dosage increases, the number of times the breakdown process needs to be completed also increases. That's why Ishikawa decided to stop temporarily, since the time he and Karin had agreed upon was almost up!
Unless absolutely necessary, Ishikawa didn't want to create any unnecessary complications, especially at a time when Orochimaru was launching the Konoha Crush plan.
Anyway, after these few days of gradual experimentation, his body has accumulated about one and a half pill-sized Hashirama artificial cells.
This greatly improved Ishikawa's physical abilities, and his chakra doubled, reaching two chakra levels.
After more than a year, he finally caught up with the former elite Jonin, Kakashi, in terms of chakra.
But that's not the point; the point is a deeper level of physical transformation.
During this period of ninjutsu training, Ishikawa discovered that his physical recovery speed was more than twice as fast as before.
As is well known, a ninja's chakra is refined by fusing physical and spiritual energy. The most direct feeling of doubled physical strength recovery is the accelerated recovery of chakra.
Therefore, as long as Ishikawa controls the proportion of chakra output, his combat power is not simply based on two chakra units.
"crunch..."
Just as Ishikawa was satisfied and preparing to continue his cheat code to solve the bleaching reaction, the door in the inner wall was suddenly opened from the outside.
"Ishikawa, we finally succeeded! Uh, your skin??" Nohara Rin quickly closed the door, her happy smile still lingering, before she covered her mouth and stared at Ishikawa with wide eyes, her expression full of surprise and uncertainty.
What's wrong with this guy? Why is his skin different from before? It even has a hint of Zetsu's skin tone??
Could it be because of Uchiha Madara?!
"Red Eye - Open..." Thinking that Ishikawa might have met with an accident, Nohara Rin shouted and her right eye instantly turned crimson.
"Uh, I'm fine, you don't need to be so nervous." Ishikawa waved his hand and handed over a syringe.
"This is a special injection I stole from Madara Uchiha. When used with the doorknob to resolve the rejection reaction, it will make us stronger." Without mentioning Wood Release, Ishikawa said succinctly and casually.
"What is it? Never mind, just tell me the specifics of your encounter with Uchiha Madara." Nohara Rin confirmed that Ishikawa was in good health before she could relax and excitedly ask more questions.
She didn't care about any special injections; what she cared about was how the two of them managed to change Obito's fate right in front of Madara Uchiha.
Finally, she took the first step to change her destiny!
"Okay, we'll talk about that later." Ishikawa nodded and smiled helplessly. Anyway, it was still early, so he didn't mind taking a little longer.
While Ishikawa and Nohara Rin were sharing their feelings of victory, on the other side, in the Land of Waves...
"It's been almost half a month, I feel like I can't wait any longer! Let's go, let's go find Captain Kakashi now." Karin irritably threw down the Water Release scroll, unable to concentrate on reading it at all.
This feeling had been lingering in her heart since the tenth day, and she couldn't calm down. If she waited any longer, she would go crazy!
“I agree. It’s too dangerous for our brother to go into Kirigakure alone to gather intelligence without any news from us!” Jiro immediately chimed in, and Taro nodded in agreement.
"Follow me! I've sensed the location of Kakashi's team these past few days!" Karin's face lit up with joy, and she immediately jumped up and rushed towards Tazuna's house.
Tarojiro naturally followed closely behind, and the three of them arrived at Tazuna's house in less than an hour by hurrying along.
"What? Ishikawa went to Kirigakure alone to gather intelligence?? And he's been gone for more than ten days!!" Upon hearing the purpose of the three's visit, Kakashi, who had been woken up, instantly became fully awake.
He acknowledged that Ishikawa was currently very strong, and his Red Eyes and Spirit Transformation techniques made him even more formidable for intelligence gathering. However, Kirigakure was, after all, one of the Five Great Nations, and if Ishikawa were to encounter an accident, he could still be captured by Kirigakure.
"You all come with me to Kirigakure. We'll use Zabuza as an excuse to probe them. Karin, you're in charge of sensing Ishikawa's exact location." Without hesitation, Kakashi made the decision immediately.
The value of his decision not to kill Zabuza lies precisely in this moment; whether it's a deal with Kirigakure or an excuse, it couldn't be more appropriate.
If it's confirmed that Ishikawa has been captured, Kirigakure would be best to exchange prisoners with him. If they're unwilling, then Mizukage Terumi Mei will be their bargaining chip in exchanging Ishikawa.
Thinking of this, Kakashi's dark left eye, hidden under his headband, instantly turned crimson, and then transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan.
"Wait, Kakashi-sensei, take me with you..." Naruto shouted as he arrived, while Sasuke beside him also looked on intently.
That senior brother actually dared to venture into the Hidden Mist Village alone to gather intelligence; he's incredibly audacious.
However, this also proves the opponent's confidence in their own strength! This caused Sasuke, who was determined to become stronger, to have two black tomoe flash in his eyes, turning them crimson.
"I'll go too, Kakashi-sensei."
How could he possibly lose to that opponent! With these eyes, Sasuke Uchiha would definitely not be much weaker than that senior brother...
"No, you stay here to protect Mr. Tazuna." Kakashi refused without hesitation. He might be going to fight Kirigakure this time, so how could he bring two burdens along?
Ignoring Naruto and Sasuke who were about to speak, he immediately ordered Karin and the other two to escort Zabuza and Haku away.
"Oh dear! Teachers, what are you all doing making such a fuss?" Just as the group stepped out the door, a familiar voice rang out from the woods in front of the door.
"Ishikawa!!" Kakashi exclaimed with relief and delight upon seeing who it was.
Karin, who had been waiting for a long time, leaped and threw herself into Ishikawa's arms, bursting into tears of joy. "Ishikawa-kun, you're finally back!"
"Uh, Karin, you don't need to get so excited, there are a lot of people watching..." Ishikawa chuckled helplessly, thinking to himself that he was just one step away from getting away with it.
If he hadn't immediately controlled the White Zetsu to return after the hyperspace connection ended, something unexpected would definitely have happened if it had dragged on until tomorrow!
But what's with Sasuke's Sharingan?
However, when his gaze fell upon Shiro, who was captured next to Zabuza, Ishikawa probably had a guess in his mind.
"Well, since you're back, that's all right! You all go back and rest. Ishikawa, come with me." Kakashi waved his hand, regaining his lazy demeanor, and gave Ishikawa a look before heading towards the bridge behind the house.
"Haha, looks like there's going to be some fun at home tonight! I'll take care of everyone's food and lodging." Tazna chuckled, instantly giving everyone a sense of security.
Four more Konoha ninjas have arrived. If they still fail to build the bridge, he might as well just jump into the sea and commit suicide!
