Unlike previous Sharingan transplants, this was his own eye, and he felt no burden at all.
He no longer needs to cover his eyes every day.
There's no need to worry about not having enough chakra.
After Orochimaru's previous guidance, and the bond forged through the cloned eyes...
Kakashi is now closer to Orochimaru.

Kakashi was still preoccupied with the matter of the Impure World Reincarnation.
But after hearing Karin's words, he knew that the Third Hokage was about to arrive.
He had no choice but to visit Lord Orochimaru another day.
Kakashi, his eyes bandaged, walked out the door and ran right into the Hokage as he entered.
"Hokage-sama."
Kakashi paused for a moment before greeting him, but a fleeting, unreadable emotion flashed in his eyes.
"Is Orochimaru inside?"
The Third Hokage was temporarily preoccupied with Kakashi.
After receiving Kakashi's affirmative reply, he went into the inner room.
Kakashi glanced back, then left.
Orochimaru was packing up his equipment; for him, replacing Kakashi's eyes was just a minor surgery.
He is more concerned with the state of the cloned eyeball returning to the body.
Kakashi's eyes were delayed for a long time because Orochimaru was more meticulous in collecting data.
In another laboratory, Fugaku's cloned eye is being cultivated.
Itachi's Sharingan is also fusing with the Eternal Eye.
Let's leave Kakashi's data out.
Orochimaru directly replaced Kakashi.
"Orochimaru."
The third generation entered without any secret agents following behind him.
Orochimaru, without even looking up, said, "Old man, what are you doing here?"
The Third Hokage saw Orochimaru calmly and slowly exhaled.
"Uchihado has used his power."
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru looked up and asked, "What did Kawasaki do?"
The Third Hokage recounted the Uchiha clan's extravagant spending habits.
"The Uchiha clan also successfully won over the Hyuga clan."
"Various rumors have started circulating in the village."
The rumors about the Hyuga clan are quite subtle, only stirring up conversations among the villagers.
They induced the villagers to reveal some of the actual facts.
For example, three generations have been in power for a long time and are reluctant to relinquish it.
For example, the Third Hokage condoned Danzo's evil deeds, causing Konoha to suffer enormous losses.
Danzo was captured but imprisoned in solitary confinement, and eventually escaped, among other things.
It's important to know that the Hokage has the Anbu under his command.
If you talk nonsense, you will be arrested.
But what others are saying is true; we can't just arrest all the villagers.
Orochimaru chuckled and said, "Old man, you're in trouble. This is an open conspiracy by the Uchiha."
Kawasaki only informed Orochimaru that he was preparing to reconcile with the major ninja clans.
The specific methods were not explained, and Orochimaru didn't seem to care much at the time.
Now, after hearing the Third Hokage's report, Orochimaru realized how direct Kawasaki was.
First, he tried to win over the Hyuga clan and spread information that was detrimental to the Third Hokage.
Then they directly used money to win over the various ninja clans.
Unfortunately, the Third Hokage had no good solutions.
Seeing Orochimaru's attitude, the Third Hokage changed his mind and said to Orochimaru:
"Are you just going to let the Uchiha win people over like this? The Uchiha don't have good intentions these days."
All of the Uchiha's actions were calculated schemes, and the Third Hokage saw through their intentions at a glance.
But the power of an open strategy lies in the fact that it is impossible to counter it.
The only solution is to confront them head-on.
The Third Hokage clearly wanted to bet on Orochimaru.
But Orochimaru simply shook his head and said:
"Fugaku and Itachi still need my cloned eyes; they can only beg me."
The Third Hokage was somewhat exasperated to see Orochimaru looking completely uninterested.
·····Requesting flowers·········
After Orochimaru tricked the Uchiha, his hostility towards the Uchiha was no longer deep.
After all, the Uchiha clan suffered in silence.
In terms of subsequent profit sharing, Orochimaru can continue to take advantage of the Uchiha clan.
Orochimaru now has ample funds and territory.
They spend all day in the lab doing experiments and don't care about anything else.
After Orochimaru returned, the Third Hokage observed him for a long time.
The observation results were mixed.
The good news is that Orochimaru's wisdom is comparable to Kawasaki's.
The worrying thing is that Orochimaru has absolutely no interest in power.
My fascination with experiments is now greater than ever.
In the past, he would even carry out missions to attract people to voluntarily follow Orochimaru...
Even behind Orochimaru, there is still a group of loyal followers.
Orochimaru has lost all interest in carrying out missions these days.
................. 0
There were only a few people left around him, including a personal guard and a few little ones.
Therefore, to this day, the Third Hokage has never asked Orochimaru whether he intended to become Hokage.
However, today, the Third Hokage suddenly realized something.
Even if Orochimaru has no intention of becoming Hokage, he can still be pushed to the forefront, and the power can simply be kept in his own hands.
Just like when the Fourth Hokage was introduced.
"Orochimaru, I'm considering passing the Hokage position to you."
The third generation said in a deep voice.
Orochimaru exclaimed in surprise, "Grandpa, have you taken the wrong medicine?"
But the Third Hokage's expression was serious, showing no sign of joking.
Orochimaru slowly furrowed his brow, then let out a soft hum.
He said with dissatisfaction, "Didn't you think Minato was more suitable than me back then? Now you want me to be Hokage?"
The Third Hokage sighed inwardly; Orochimaru truly harbored resentment over not receiving support back then.
Orochimaru is incredibly arrogant; he may not want it, but you can't refuse to give it to him.
Orochimaru may not have been absolutely certain of becoming Hokage back then, but the Third Hokage's actions at the time greatly displeased him.
Although the Third Hokage was old, he was very shrewd and would never lose face at such a moment.
He stated bluntly:
"I was wrong about what happened back then. Only now do I realize that you are the most suitable candidate for Hokage."
