389 Adopted by the Second Hokage!
🕑 Added 2025-11-27 06:10:21 +0000 UTC"Is it really okay to let Kagami awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan?"
Shimura Danzō couldn't help but frown at Renya.
Although he knew that Uchiha Kagami wouldn't cause harm to the village, the Mangekyō Sharingan instinctively made him feel threatened.
He didn't like people in the village who slipped out of his control.
"It's fine." Renya said indifferently. "If something really happens, I'll take responsibility."
He understood what Danzō was thinking—nothing more than worrying that Kagami might threaten the village and feeling fear toward the Mangekyō Sharingan.
This was normal.
Renya helping Kagami awaken the Mangekyō actually had some selfish motives.
Two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan could fuse into a pair of Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
Since that was the case, as long as it was proven that no bloodline was needed to fuse them, he could use [Inka] to mass-produce Mangekyō Sharingan.
Although he couldn't guarantee a 100% success rate, producing a few pairs of Mangekyō would definitely not be a problem.
By then, there would be no need to worry about going blind, and the power of the Sharingan could be used freely.
And all of this only required the eyes of a few unruly Uchiha troublemakers.
If Renya hadn't left the Uchiha clan, he might have helped them awaken their eyes for free.
But now? Forget it.
If they really awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, they'd stir up a clan coup that very same day.
He could only secretly capture a few lab rats for experiments.
"I'm going to the hospital to visit Kagami. Do you want to come along?" Shimura Danzō asked before leaving.
"Forget it, I need to go home and cook. Remember to find out Kagami's Mangekyō ability and tell me when you get back."
Renya left the Hokage Building with him, and the two parted ways at the entrance.
One headed toward Konoha Hospital, and the other planned to buy groceries at the market before returning home to cook dinner.
When Renya, carrying his ingredients, arrived at the entrance of the Senju compound, he noticed a white-haired young man standing not far away.
He raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile:
"Sakumo, were you waiting for me?"
The visitor was none other than the future White Fang of Konoha, the father of Hatake Fifty-Fifty, a man blamed by Konoha's troublemakers, whose heart was shattered, leading him to ultimately take his own life——Hatake Sakumo.
Renya had known him for a long time.
Earlier today, when Danzō went to the Uchiha clan, Sakumo had been the one protecting him.
Whenever Renya had free time, he talked with him about psychological knowledge, which Sakumo found extremely helpful.
Right now Hatake Sakumo was still a young man, unmarried.
If he remembered correctly, Kakashi was born in Konoha Year 34, which meant there were still five years left.
"Renya-sama, I was indeed waiting for you." Hatake Sakumo bowed respectfully.
"Is something the matter?" Renya asked with a smile.
He subconsciously shook the groceries in his hand to indicate he was in a hurry.
"Renya-sama, I'll just ask one question and then leave." Sakumo immediately understood the hint.
"Alright, go ahead."
Hatake Sakumo organized his words and said, "Your earlier advice was very enlightening."
"As shinobi, we have to constantly grow stronger to increase our chances of survival in battle, but as for our inner selves… it feels like we can only rely on instinct to endure."
"I want to know—do you have any methods to temper the mind?"
What he was asking was not about treating trauma, but how to prevent it.
How to proactively strengthen the heart to face potential future pressure.
So he came to ask again.
"That's an interesting question." Renya explained with a smile. "Most people seek answers only after the problem has already appeared."
"But you are looking for a way to prevent the problem."
This wasn't to say Hatake Sakumo was exceptionally smart—Renya had intentionally guided him toward this question.
His goal was simply to prevent this guy from being shattered by a few harsh words one day.
A shinobi needed a mindset like Danzō's—no matter who cursed him, it had no effect.
Only a strong heart that wouldn't waver made a qualified ninja!
Take the original Danzō for example—Kettle King only ever had one goal:
To become Hokage of Konoha!
Even though countless people despised him, he never gave up.
With his unwavering conviction, he finally achieved his wish, turning from Kettle King into Kettle Shadow.
Unfortunately, just a few days after becoming Hokage, he was killed by Mad Dog Sasuke.
Ending his sinful life in regret.
But even so, he achieved his dream, didn't he?
"Please enlighten me, Renya-sama." Hatake Sakumo said respectfully.
Renya paused deliberately, as if organizing his words.
"In the shinobi world, there is no such thing as a perfect plan. Train yourself to accept 'the unknown' and 'variables.' Even if a mission fails for various reasons, don't be overly harsh on yourself. Relax your mind."
Renya couldn't help but sigh internally.
He didn't expect himself to speak such philosophical words.
He was really improving.
Worried that Sakumo might not fully understand, he switched to a simpler explanation.
"Put simply—don't blame yourself too much. If something unexpected happens, it's someone else's fault."
"If you didn't do anything wrong but someone still slanders you, it means the problem isn't with you—it's with the person slandering you, understand?"
"I understand. Thank you, Renya-sama, for clearing my doubts."
Hatake Sakumo looked like a serious elementary student listening to a lecture.
Although Renya-sama's lessons often sounded chaotic, he still learned a lot of useful knowledge.
"Good, you are teachable." Renya nodded in satisfaction.
He felt he had explained things well—he had a real talent for teaching.
If he became a school instructor, he would definitely raise excellent students!
"Renya-sama, I won't disturb you further." Hatake Sakumo bowed and left.
...
Senju Tobirama's residence.
"What were you talking about with Hatake Sakumo just now?"
Senju Tobirama asked curiously.
When Sakumo arrived at the entrance of the Senju compound, he had sensed him.
Then he noticed that he was waiting for Renya.
"Nothing much. He came to ask me about some psychological knowledge."
Renya explained casually and carried the groceries into the kitchen.
Leaving Senju Tobirama standing there dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.
He couldn't help but wonder if he had misheard.
Asking Renya for psychological advice?
Senju Tobirama's expression became strange.
In Konoha, there was probably no one with worse psychological issues than Renya.
Others might have a bit here and there.
But who could compare to Renya?
He had already developed split personality!
If it weren't for his own persistent treatment, the kid would have been taken over by his second personality sooner or later.
It seemed Hatake Sakumo really had a psychological issue—he would need to call a doctor for him later.
After all, he was part of the village's Anbu; mental health was important.
They couldn't afford to have another Renya situation.
Meanwhile, Renya—currently suffering in the kitchen while cooking—had no idea someone was questioning his teaching ability.
Otherwise he would definitely come out, kitchen knife in hand, to argue.
