Saving Uchiha, Starts by Flipping The Table

It's not surprising for the Uchiha clan to form outside marriages.

The Uchiha don't have restrictions on the patriarch marrying outside the clan, nor do they restrict their members from marrying outside.

They just place more importance on marriages for children with good talent.

On the other hand, for the Hyuga clan, not only is it impossible for the main family's daughters to marry outside, even the branch family has a hard time with it.

Who would have thought that the nearly unreasonable clan rules of the Hyuga clan would be broken?

No wonder Uchiha Yan is so focused on the Byakugan taken by Kirigakure Village. It seems he wants to build a good relationship with the Hyuga clan.

Building a good relationship with the Hyuga clan is secondary. As long as Yan can bring back the Byakugan that fell into Kirigakure's hands, his prestige in Konohagakure will rise.

He can openly tell everyone.

Things others won't say, Uchiha Yan will.

Things others won't do, Uchiha Yan will do.

Things others can't bring back, Uchiha Yan will bring back!

The Hyuga clan can't do it, the Third Hokage can't do it, Tsunade can't do it, but Uchiha Yan can!

Mentioning a connection with the Hyuga clan is just to give Yagura a reasonable way out.

After all, he's the Mizukage of Kirigakure Village; face must be given.

Otherwise, others would rather risk breaking cooperation than hand over the goods.

"Konohagakure must also compensate Kirigakure Village."

If the Byakugan isn't handed over, this matter won't continue.

At that point, Yagura will become the target of others' disdain and opposition.

Yagura doesn't want Kirigakure Village to be left out, and he doesn't want to take any risks. If the Akatsuki really attacks Kirigakure Village and the other villages refuse to help because of this, Kirigakure Village will be in big trouble.

At that point, he might end up taking the blame.

Between the choice of a little displeasure now or ongoing frustration, Yagura will choose the former.

"Fine."

It's just a little compensation, nothing major. Anyway, Oonoki, Raikage, and Rasa won't give Kirigakure Village too much. Konohagakure will just follow along.

Yagura wanted a way out, and I'll give him one.

You want to save face, I'll give you enough face.

Now you're satisfied, right?

"Yes."

With the compensation sorted out and face given, Yagura had no more reason to refuse. His expression slowly returned to normal.

"Since that's the case, let's start discussing how to handle Obito's Sharingan. I'll send someone with the Byakugan, and it'll be delivered within two days."

As for how the village will react, Yagura couldn't care less.

Even if there's a strong reaction, so what? He's the Mizukage of Kirigakure Village!

When he goes back, bringing the compensation from the other four villages and the face Konohagakure gave him, who would dare challenge him?

Does anyone think his blade is losing its edge?

Don't be fooled by Yagura's young face and short stature. He may look like a child, but he's ruthless.

During the Third Mizukage's time, he became a tool in the Third Mizukage's hands. Many people died by his hands. Since becoming Mizukage, he's killed many as well.

Just look at the almost extinct Kaguya clan and the Yuki clan to understand how fast Yagura's blade is.

"Fine."

The four villages gave Kirigakure Village some compensation, and no one said anything.

After all, it's just a token gesture; Kirigakure Village wouldn't dare ask for too much. They won't give away anything valuable either.

As long as the face is saved, nothing else matters.

Yan gestured to Nara Shikaku, who nodded and patted Kakashi on the shoulder, leading him to the medical department.

"Kakashi, Shikaku is doing this for the village, I hope you can understand."

"If this Sharingan stays here, it will bring endless trouble to you and the village."

"You've seen the change in Obito. He's no longer the innocent Uchiha Obito from before. Now, he's an enemy of the village."

"He's the one who caused the Nine-Tails attack, the one who killed the Fourth Hokage and his wife."

Some persuasion was still needed, so this important task was handed over to Shikaku.

"I understand, and I'm willing to cooperate."

Even if Obito's true identity hadn't been confirmed yet, as long as the village needed it, Kakashi would still cooperate and have his Sharingan removed.

Now that Obito's identity had been confirmed and the conspiracy behind his father's death had been revealed, Kakashi no longer hesitated and obediently chose to cooperate.

Shikaku signaled for Kakashi to lie on the operating table and passed on Yan's message:

"Yan told me to let you know that after the Sharingan is removed, he will have someone grow a suitable eye for you, using your own body cells. It will be the eye that fits you best."

"Mm."

Kakashi didn't say anything else, just lying quietly and waiting for the surgery to begin.

The Sharingan was soon removed.

It was taken to the command center. Aside from Yan and his trusted subordinates, almost no one knew that Obito's Sharingan had already been replaced.

The technology in the Hokage world was a bit off-track, but growing an eye using Kakashi's cells wasn't too difficult. Many people could do it.

However, the most skilled at this was Orochimaru, who had been tinkering with it under Yan's guidance.

What should be done with this Sharingan?

The Sharingan belongs to Konohagakure, and you, Uchiha Yan, represent Konohagakure and are also an elder of the Uchiha clan. How do you think we should handle this?

Once the Sharingan arrived, everyone turned to Yan.

Yan had already decided how to handle the Sharingan.

"I believe this Sharingan is critical to the peace of the ninja world and the safety of the Five Great Shinobi Countries, so it must be handled carefully."

"To prevent Uchiha Obito from finding it, I suggest we seal it and hide it in a secret location."

"To ensure fairness, I think each of the Five Great Shinobi Countries should seal it with their own sealing techniques."

Each of the Five Great Shinobi Countries would take turns sealing it, and then they could hide it in a secret place. That should work fine.

The important part was that other villages should feel involved—nothing else really mattered.

After all, this Sharingan wasn't Obito's anymore.

The ideal outcome was that the other villages would take the Sharingan, which had been sealed several times, and hide it.

Imagine this: when Obito finally finds the Sharingan after much effort, he breaks the seals only to discover it's not his.

That would be a very interesting scene.

He'd probably be so angry his face would twist.

"So where should we hide the Sharingan?"
