Chapter 83 Returning to the Village, Nohara Rin's Surprise
"Lightning Blade? Why would you suddenly want that?" Kakashi paused upon hearing Ishikawa's request, quite troubled by the situation.
The Lightning Blade is the most prestigious of the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure; how could it be casually handed over to a mere genin? There are far too many complexities involved; it's simply beyond Ishikawa's control.
It could even bring him death!
"Well, teacher, didn't you say you were going to teach me swordsmanship? I thought that sword was pretty good, so..." Ishikawa pretended to be naive, but his heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself, "I knew it."
Judging from Kakashi's words and expression, he could tell at a glance that it was basically hopeless!
But thinking about it, it makes sense. That was the Raiga, a ninja sword that could weaken the Hidden Mist Village and gain the right to speak in the clashes between major powers. How could the Third Hokage agree to hand it over to him?
"If that's all there is to it, I advise you to give up that idea. Although this sword is very suitable for swordsmanship training, it's also a problem!" As expected, Kakashi pondered for a moment and then refused Ishikawa's request.
Ishikawa, who was mentally prepared for this, was not disappointed. Instead, he changed the subject.
"Teacher, if you're worried about Kirigakure, then just give me one of them. The complete Raiga Twin Blades can't be taken out, but I can melt one down and reforge my own Raiga, that shouldn't be a problem!"
"Melted??" Hearing Ishikawa's arrogant words, Kakashi's lips twitched and he was speechless.
Fusion of the Lightning Blade? You've got some nerve, kid. Is the Lightning Blade that becomes a single blade still the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure, Raiga?
"Don't even think about that. Didn't you want to forge your own lightning blade? I have a broken sword at home that I can melt down and forge for you. Anyway, it's all made of special chakra metal, which is enough for you."
"A broken sword?" Ishikawa muttered suspiciously, but a glint of light flashed in his eyes. As far as he knew, Kakashi's only broken sword was the broken White Fang!
Could it be that he's going to give him that broken white fang sword?
"Thank you, teacher." Having received the benefits, Ishikawa no longer coveted the Thunder Blade and thanked him profusely.
He just wanted a suitable chakra blade to enhance his strength; he didn't really care whether it was the Lightning Blade or the White Fang Blade!
"What an unlovable guy..." Kakashi was speechless again as he watched Ishikawa's rapidly changing expression. He lazily waved his hand and continued to lie down to rest.
To this, Ishikawa simply chuckled and immediately went out to find the client to arrange food and drinks, while also taking turns with Tarojiro on guard duty.
Time flies like an arrow; for half a month after Kakashi awoke, everything went smoothly and peacefully...
These past two weeks have not only allowed Kakashi to fully recover, but Tarojiro's injuries have also mostly healed. Only Ishikawa, with his heart wound, needs at least another two weeks of rest…
Finally, amidst the eager anticipation of Ishikawa and Tarojiro, the long convoy slowly entered Konoha that evening.
"Alright, Ishikawa, you three go to the hospital to treat your wounds. I'm going to submit the mission to the Third Hokage." After watching the client leave, Kakashi turned to the three of them and said.
"Yes, Kakashi-sensei!" Tarojiro nodded hurriedly and, supporting Ishikawa who was about to speak, headed straight for Konoha Hospital.
My brother's injuries need to be treated as soon as possible.
"You guys, hey! I didn't have to be so... be gentle, slow down..." Ishikawa grimaced in pain. Couldn't these two be a little gentler?
This little brother is going to kill his big brother! ヽ(｀⌒′メ)ノ
"Heh! Looks like the three of them are still quite energetic." Kakashi smiled and vanished in a flash.
It was past 10 p.m. when Ishikawa returned home.
It wasn't that they spent too long in the hospital, but rather that after leaving the hospital, they went to pack up and move their ninja tools and weapons.
By the time we finished those things, it was already this time.
"Boom..."
As a wisp of white smoke drifted by, Ranmaru's head was summoned back to Ishikawa's eyes.
This time, Ishikawa did not continue to nurture the head but instead put it into the nutrient solution he had just bought at Konoha Hospital for later use.
For this reason, he bought enough nutrient disinfectant to fill a whole basin.
"Next, it's just a matter of waiting for her. I hope she won't break her promise tonight..." Ishikawa murmured to himself as he looked at the clock, which had only a little over ten minutes left, and waited silently.
As Ishikawa endured the tense and anxious wait, time ticked by and soon it was eleven o'clock.
Almost the instant the time arrived, the peaceful house once again overlapped, extended, and changed...
Before Ishikawa's eyes, a familiar figure was gradually materializing from the ethereal!
"Miss Lin, long time no see! Congratulations on your promotion to Chunin." Ishikawa's gaze fell on the emerald green Chunin vest the moment he saw her, and he greeted her with a smile.
Fortunately, Rin Nohara did not leave Konoha.
"Ishikawa, I've finally waited for you..." Nohara Rin smiled and nodded when she saw Ishikawa, whom she hadn't seen for about a month.
But just as she finished speaking, her beautiful big eyes were drawn to Ranmaru's head behind Ishikawa, and she opened her mouth wide!
“Ishikawa, that’s…”
"This is the Hidden Mist enemy who almost wiped out our entire team on this mission. Don't let his seemingly harmless appearance fool you; his abilities are actually terrifying." Ishikawa preemptively blocked Nohara Rin's curious gaze.
"What? You almost got wiped out??" Instantly, Nohara Rin, who had just felt a little sympathy for the boy's head, changed her expression drastically.
She wasn't some naive, inexperienced person who judged by appearances, especially since the other party was a ninja from Kirigakure, the village that had been an enemy of Konoha during her time and had caused Konoha considerable losses.
"Yes, this time we encountered Raiga Kurosuki, one of the legendary Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. He is Raiga's eye, a boy with the red-eyed bloodline limit. If it weren't for Kakashi-sensei and my good fortune, you might not be seeing me today!"
"Kurosuki Raiga of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist? Red-eyed??" Nohara Rin's expression changed again upon hearing this. Even though she lived during a time of war, she still knew of the existence of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
Although I don't know much about Raiga Kurosuki and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are indeed a terrifying and infamous group in the ninja world.
"Um, is Kakashi alright?" Nohara Rin asked anxiously, looking at Ishikawa with worried eyes.
Although Ishikawa's words implied that Kakashi should be alright, she still couldn't feel at ease without asking him directly.
"Teacher is fine, I'm the one who's most seriously injured!" Ishikawa pointed to his back injury with a wry smile before fixing his gaze on Nohara Rin with a serious expression.
“Miss Lin, since you were able to help Kakashi-sensei transplant a Sharingan, I'd like you to help me transplant a red-eyed eye as well. In return, I can give you my other red-eyed eye…”
Under Nohara Rin's adorable, dumbfounded expression, Ishikawa pointed at Ranmaru's eyes and uttered something astonishing!
"Transplant? To me?? What kind of bloodline limit is this red eye?!" Looking at Ishikawa Nohara Rin's serious expression, she subconsciously exclaimed in surprise, a little confused about what was going on.
Also, what do you mean she helped Kakashi get an eye transplant back then?
In terms of timing, that was supposed to happen a year from now...
