Chapter 38 S-Class Top Secret Mission
Chapter 38 S-Class Top Secret Mission
"Itachi, do you know what the Sharingan is?"
"The Uchiha clan's bloodline limits: the Observation Eye, the Copying Eye, the Hypnotic Eye..."
"No, that's not right." Kazuhiko interrupted Itachi:
"The Sharingan is a mirror reflecting the depths of the Uchiha's heart."
He looked at the mother and son on the sofa.
"It reflects not the enemy, but the fear deep within your heart."
"Some people are afraid of losing, and they awaken the Sharingan to protect."
"If someone wants to change the status quo, then the Sharingan is the power to overturn everything."
"Some people are not in control of their own destiny, but the Sharingan allows them to take control of their fate."
"And you, why did you awaken the Sharingan?"
After a brief moment of thought, Itachi blurted out:
"I want to protect my family, protect Konoha, and protect peace."
Kazuhiko looked at Itachi, lost in thought.
The question he asked contained two options that foreshadowed Itachi's future Mangekyou Sharingan.
Amaterasu represents power; it is the ultimate power that Itachi wanted to use to change the current state of the Uchiha clan.
Tsukuyomi represents manipulation; it is Itachi's ultimate genjutsu, used to control his own destiny.
It was this obsession that led Itachi to acquire these two eye techniques after witnessing Shisui's death.
What Itachi wants now is protection.
If we continue to guide him in this direction, will his eye technique change when he unlocks the Kaleidoscope in the future?
Clearly, this is a case study that is well worth exploring in depth.
If it were truly possible to change Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan...
"Dr. Kazuhiko? Is there a problem?"
Kazuhiko shook his head and smiled:
"Of course, no problem. Your answer is excellent, very good."
Boom!
The mental health clinic was suddenly knocked on.
"Doctor Kazuhiko!"
"Enter."
A member of the ANBU wearing an animal mask entered the clinic, looked at Kazuhiko, and spoke respectfully:
"Dr. Kazuhiko, the Hokage summons you."
"I understand. I'll be right out in a moment."
Kazuhiko frowned slightly.
Hiruzen Sarutobi?
What was he doing at that moment?
He glanced at Mikoto and Itachi, and smiled apologetically:
"It seems our conversation will end here for today."
Mikoto stood up and straightened her kimono:
"It's alright. Since it's the Hokage who summoned you, Dr. Kazuhiko, please attend to your business first. Itachi and I will visit again another day."
Kazuhiko took out Itachi's psychological diagnosis report and handed it to the other person.
"Itachi, I know you better than you think, so I have high hopes for you."
He reached out and placed his hand on Itachi's shoulder.
"Being willing to protect your family, your Sharingan will become very strong, strong enough to awaken the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan."
"Therefore, you must always remember why you want to obtain the power of the Sharingan."
Itachi stared at him in astonishment.
For seven-year-old Itachi, the Sharingan was a distant dream.
Does the legendary eye technique, the Mangekyou Sharingan, really exist?
Kazuhiko nodded to Mikoto and turned to leave.
Outside the door, ANBU ninjas were waiting quietly.
"Please lead the way."
Judging from the Kage-level entries that Hiruzen Sarutobi contributed before, this summons is definitely not a bad thing.
You can go without worry.
The Hokage Building, the Third Hokage's office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sat behind his desk, a pipe in his hand, his brow furrowed as he looked at the documents.
"Lord Hokage."
The third generation then raised their head and looked at Kazuhiko.
"Uchiha Kazuhiko, right? Please sit down."
Kazuhiko sat down with neither arrogance nor servility, meeting the Third Generation's gaze with composure.
"I've learned about your psychology and medicine; it's very innovative. I'm particularly interested in the placebo therapy; could you elaborate?"
The three generations get straight to the point.
His time was precious, so his summons to Kazuhiko was certainly not without reason.
Kazuhiko smiled slightly:
"Positive beliefs can heal, while negative beliefs can be fatal. The placebo effect, simply put, is when you believe 'this medicine can cure me,' then your brain and body will genuinely change physiological indicators, making you move in a positive direction, and it certainly won't get worse."
The third generation squinted his eyes:
"This method seems to have applications beyond psychotherapy..."
"Of course," Kazuhiko readily admitted.
"This treatment is effective even for common ailments."
The third generation's eyes lit up; they saw the potential in this treatment concept.
War means enormous expenditures, and you can never have too many medical resources.
Placebo therapy appears to be surprisingly effective during times of drug shortages.
He looked at He Yan and became even more certain of his earlier judgment.
In fact, the Third Generation's summons to Kazuhiko was certainly not for any placebo therapy.
Rather, it was because Kazuhiko helped Shota awaken the three-tomoe Sharingan, proving the potential of psychotherapy.
The placebo therapy was merely an unexpected bonus.
"Kazuhiko, would you be interested in coming to Konoha Medical Headquarters and establishing a psychological medical system?"
coming.
This was the true purpose behind the three generations summoning him.
Kazuhiko felt a chill run down his spine, but his expression remained unchanged:
"The Hokage seems to have a high opinion of my psychological medical philosophy."
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to see you in person. What, you don't want to?"
Kazuhiko speaks frankly:
"I'm unwilling. The Konoha Medical Headquarters is prejudiced against Uchiha ninjas, and going there wouldn't be as free as going to the clan's clinic. However, Hokage-sama can designate ninjas to study at the psychological clinic, and I will definitely teach them everything I know."
The third generation was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:
"Hahaha... Kazuhiko, you certainly speak your mind."
[Hiruzen Sarutobi's affection for you has increased]
"I was just telling the truth."
Kazuhiko smiled too; the Third Generation clearly liked people who spoke their minds.
Naruto, you're right, aren't you?
The third generation stood up, walked to the window, and turned his back to Kazuhiko:
"When firelight kisses the fertile earth, when the cold wind blows through the forest, when war takes away our loved ones, our hearts still beat to the rhythm of Konoha!"
He turned around, his gaze intense:
"You said those words yourself, didn't you?"
Kazuhiko nodded. "Yes."
So, you've really seen my loyalty to Konoha?
"Very good! Kazuhiko, come and take a look at this."
The Third Hokage picked up a scroll labeled "S-Class Secret" from the table.
He removed the seal from the scroll and showed its contents to Kazuhiko.
The contents recorded can be easily summarized as follows:
Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, suffers from hemophobia and is no longer able to perform combat missions.
"Tsunade's condition is very serious."
The Third Hokage's smile vanished, and his expression became extremely serious.
"Tsunade, you should know that her hemophobia is clearly caused by psychological problems."
"That's why she's disappeared from the public eye until now."
"With Konoha's current medical technology, it's completely impossible to solve Tsunade's psychological problems."
"So I have a favor to ask today: I hope you can use your psychological skills to try to cure Tsunade's hemophobia."
"Of course, since this concerns Tsunade, this mission will be classified as S-class top secret."
The third generation looked at Kazuhiko with utmost solemnity:
"Kazuhiko."
"You founded a mental health clinic, clearly to address these real psychological problems."
"Whether you succeed or not, I will support you in setting up a 'psychological clinic' at the Konoha Medical Headquarters."
"If you need anything, just report it to me directly."
"Do you accept this task?"
