Kakashi was strong, though far from Shisui's level. If it were just Shisui alone, without overwhelming power, it would still be challenging to take down Kakashi quickly. However, with several others, including two Jonin with three-tomoe Sharingan, it became a different story. Kakashi was overwhelmed, barely keeping up with the flurry of illusions and additional attackers. His Sharingan's copying and perception abilities were limited compared to the Uchiha.
Having dodged Jiro's lethal kunai, Kakashi was immediately faced with Kaze's attack, struggling to defend himself. Even Shisui would find it difficult if surrounded like this. Damn it! Kakashi cursed, gripping his kunai and White Fang short sword, slashing towards Kaze.
"???"
To his surprise, Kaze seemed to anticipate this, looking at him mockingly. Then, a shadow flashed before Kakashi, and a pair of three-tomoe Sharingan filled his vision.
"Thud!!!"
Kakashi's movements slowed, as if something had gripped his heart. A sharp pain followed, and he lost sight in his left eye.
"Shisui, you're too slow. Don't tell me you can't even control Kakashi with your genjutsu," Kazuki snapped, flicking the blood from his hand. Shisui awkwardly looked down.
"Let's go!!!"
Without further delay, Kazuki secured the Sharingan and led his team away. They had to act fast as Tsunade was already on her way. Kazuki had to intervene, not wanting to cause more trouble. Being questioned later was better than being caught on the spot.
As Kazuki led the group away, Jiro couldn't resist mocking Shisui, "Some genius, couldn't even handle the Copy Ninja. We had to help, and the captain had to step in."
"I..."
Shisui wanted to defend himself, explaining he hadn't used his full strength. But he couldn't deny the truth; the initial fight was indeed prolonged. If he'd gone all out from the start, Kakashi wouldn't have lasted long, forcing even Kazuki to intervene.
"Enough. We're all on the same side. Shisui, take this as a lesson. Don't let it happen again," Kazuki reprimanded them.
"Understood."
Seeing Kazuki's anger, Shisui and Jiro quieted down.
The excruciating pain reminded Kakashi of the time he lost his eye, only to have Obito give him his own. Now, he had failed to protect it, and it had been taken.
Breathing heavily, Kakashi clutched his empty eye socket.
"Kakashi?"
Tsunade arrived with a group, noticing Kakashi's pained and contorted face. "Were you attacked?"
Struggling to breathe, Kakashi nodded, "Uchiha Shisui came to reclaim Obito's Sharingan. Then Uchiha Kazuki attacked me and took the Sharingan."
"Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Kazuki... Have they lost their minds, attacking a village ninja!!!"
Many people at the scene exclaimed in surprise.
Tsunade's face darkened, and her heaving chest showed her inner turmoil: "What is that brat thinking?"
She had led a team to negotiate at the Daimyō, and while things seemed to be going well there, trouble had arisen with Kakashi. Kazuki and Shisui had attacked him and taken his Sharingan. Even though they hadn't intended to seriously injure Kakashi, their blatant attack on a fellow village ninja was unacceptable to everyone. The Third Hokage would surely be furious when he found out. That brat was really giving her a hard time.
"Enough! The Sharingan has already been taken. I will personally speak with Uchiha Kazuki and Uchiha Shisui about this."
"Let's go back."
Tsunade clenched her fists and quickly left the scene, her steps even slightly unsteady. Seeing Kakashi's face covered in blood was a sight she least wanted to see.
"Shizune, help treat Kakashi. I'll go find Kazuki."
Leaving Kakashi to Shizune's care, Tsunade returned to the Daimyō's residence and headed straight to the Uchiha's quarters. She was determined to ask Kazuki what he was thinking. To attack a fellow village ninja at such a critical moment? That was as serious as attacking an ANBU member.
"Alright, everyone, return to your posts. Fū, pass the message to the clan leader. The rest of you, disperse early. I'll handle the aftermath."
Back at the temporary residence of the Uchiha, Kazuki washed his hands, placed Obito's Sharingan in a solution, and sealed it in a scroll. He changed out of his blood-stained clothes and dismissed his team. It was no surprise that Tsunade would soon come to question him.
"Uchiha Kazuki!!"
As expected, less than three minutes later, Tsunade arrived.
"Oh, you still have the mood for tea?"
She stormed into the courtyard, fuming, and saw Kazuki sitting there calmly, sipping tea as if waiting for her arrival. Tsunade couldn't help but laugh in anger.
"Do you know what consequences your actions could bring?"
Kazuki leisurely set down his teacup and replied, "Attacking a fellow village ninja is indeed a serious offense, but since I did it, I'm prepared to face the consequences. Everything I did was to reclaim what rightfully belongs to the clan, nothing more."
Attacking a fellow village ninja was a serious issue, but the severity depended on whether the higher-ups chose to pursue it. Most importantly, Kakashi's life wasn't in danger; only his Sharingan was taken. Besides, the Sharingan wasn't originally his. According to tradition, the Uchiha had the right to reclaim any Sharingan that ended up outside the clan. However, out of respect for the Third Hokage, Fugaku had suppressed this matter. The clan had argued about it many times.
She couldn't believe him. Each ninja clan had its own special rules, and the Uchiha had the right to reclaim lost Sharingan. Tsunade had no argument against that. Sitting down across from Kazuki, Tsunade was so angry that she felt her teeth ache.
"The old man doesn't like the Uchiha to begin with. What you've done will only make him target the Uchiha even more."
"So what? Should I return the eye? Or should I go and apologize?"
Kazuki smiled indifferently.
"You..."
Tsunade felt like punching him out of anger. "For now, keep a low profile. We'll deal with this after the Daimyō's matter is settled and we return to the village. I'll inform the old man about this first. You were too impulsive; even if you wanted to reclaim the clan's property, you shouldn't have done it this way."
"The news will spread quickly, so prepare yourself mentally."
It wasn't right to attack a fellow village ninja, but if the Uchiha wanted to reclaim the Sharingan from Kakashi, what could Tsunade say?
