Chapter 8: Chapter – 8 Title at the END!
After spending more than a decade as Hyuga Kuroto, many memories of the previous life have become blurred, so Kuroto can't seem to remember whether Otsutsuki Toneri needed to use hand sign printing to enter the Tenseigan Chakra mode.
"If it is necessary to print hand seals, what seals should be used? And what would be the direction of flow of Chakra?"
Because of facing so many doubts and uncertainties, Kuroto now realized the troubles he was going to be facing because of the lack of knowledge he inherited from his ancestors, unlike Otsutsuki Toneri.
Furthermore, he has now reminded of the fact that all the individuals who have brought major wind and rain in the Ninja World up until now or will do so in the future like Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Obito, Uzumaki Nagato, Uchiha Itachi, Yondaime-sama, etc., have more or less received the careful guidance of powerful Kage-level or superior ninjas, and have, therefore, inherited all kinds of knowledge and techniques.
And him on the other hand?
Nothing!
Don't get me wrong! He has in fact learned a vast amount of scientific knowledge under Orochimaru's guidance, but he still doesn't know much knowledge and techniques as a ninja.
But Kuroto is not the kind of person who would get depressed over it, if he finds a problem, then he has to find a method to solve it.
Speaking of the most valuable inheritance for Kuroto is naturally the inheritance left by Otsutsuki Hamura on the moon, there is also the guardian Giant Tenseigan formed by the fusion of a large number of Byakugan, but currently, Kuroto doesn't know how to get on the moon, and there is also the existence of Otsutsuki Toneri on the moon so he can only ignore them for the time being.
The Hyuga Familly may have hidden some secret inheritance, which may be worthy of his attention.
Orochimaru's research and development capabilities are among the best in the world, so if he wants to go any further, the connection with Orochimaru cannot be broken.
But the way of cooperation, Kuroto felt that it had to be changed.
Continuing to be a spy for Orochimaru, being a marionette without any self-consciousness, has no future in his opinion. He must change his identity from a mere subordinate to a collaborator to gain profit from it.
This again involves a question of his strength. In the ninja world, the weak are not qualified to talk about cooperation with the strong.
After thoroughly re-adjusting his mentality, Kuroto began to evaluate his current combat capabilities.
In terms of Chakra, he has undoubtedly surpassed the level of a high-level Chunin and almost reached the level of a Special Jonin, coupled with the unparalleled insight of the Tenseigan, as well as the soft fist and the unpredictable Rein Wheel Push/Pull. If not unexpected, he feels that defeating a Tokubetsu Jonin is possible for him, but if facing a real jonin?
He will most certainly die!
Of course, that is only according to his current strength level.
With the enrichment of experience and the further development of the Tenseigan, he believes that it will not take long for his strength to reach the level of a Jonin, even surpass the elite Jonin.
By then, he will be qualified to have a good talk with Orochimaru-sensei.
After looking forward to the future, Kuroto brought his thoughts back to the present.
He is still in the village's cleansing plan, and his strength is far from the point where he can wrestle with the village. Therefore, how to protect himself without exposing his Tenseigan is his immediate priority.
As soon as he returned to the outpost, Mitsui recruited Kuroto and said coldly, "Be prepare, there is a task for you tomorrow."
Kuroto's expression shrank: "What mission?"
Mitsui said: "I will personally lead the team, and I will talk about the specific task tomorrow on the road."
Kuroto wanted to refuse, but after a slight hesitation, he finally nodded.
In fact, he also knew that he had already escaped a round of cleansing because of his 'illness', so now that he has recovered from his illness, he can't afford to rely on it anymore.
The next day.
The heavily armed Kuroto and Mitsui set off because the Mitarashi Anko's injuries were not healed, so only the two of them participated in this operation.
On the way, Mitsui gave a brief explanation of the task.
Like the previous missions of Anko and Oda, it is also to respond to the Konoha spy lurking in the Sand hidden Village and retrieve the information collected by the spy.
After listening to the mission introduction, Kuroto was 100% sure that this mission was a trap to cleanse him.
His expression on the outside remained the same, but he thought to himself in his heart: "Who will be responsible for final execution? Is it the root ninja? Or the Anbu? Or will it be a Sand Ninja?"
If it's the root ninja, Kuroto can be sure that nine out of ten chances of the person who presided over the purge is Shimura Danzo, and if it was Anbu, then the eight out of ten chances for the person responsible is Sandaime, but if it was Sand Shinobi, the situation could be complicated.
If it's Sand, it would simply mean that the Konoha village and Sand Village have reached a consensus.
In other words, this is no longer a matter within the village, but a matter involving more than one Village. The authorities of both the village behind the scenes are probably responsible not just a certain person, that would eventually mean but the entire Konoha high-level decision-making body.
While running through, Kuroto quickly analyzed the situation that he was about to face in his mind.
'To deal with a Chunin promoted during Wartime, there is no need to dispatch a Jonin! The opponent should be a four-person team composed of Chunin.'
'Because I belong to the Hyuga clan, the other party should not presuppose an ambush, otherwise, it would be exposed in advance.'
'The other party should attack me from all directions after I reach the junction point. Or, pretending to be a junction, take advantage of my precautions, and strike the killing move!"
So what role does this Mitsui play in all this? Is he just leading me into the ambush, or would he participate in the siege?"
After awakening, the Tenseigan, Kuroto's mentality is gradually changing. If earlier, all he wanted was to survive, then now he has more desire and ambition in his heart.
It is also because of Tenseigan that he is full of confidence, so after getting rid of negative emotions such as fear, confusion, etc., he accurately analyzed the situation that he might face.
After a long crossing.
Mitsui and Kuroto came to the junction, here is the Gobi covered with rubble. The surrounding area can be described as unobstructed, and it is not a suitable place to make contact.
At the far end, stood a lone figure, appeared a little fuzzy in the wind and sand.
Kuroto stared at him and immediately found that the opponent's body contained a large volume of chakras that far exceeded the level of a Chunin.
In addition, Kuroto also found that besides the figure, there seemed to be some corpses of Sand Shinobi lying stumblingly.
This strange scene made Kuroto feel the danger. He immediately stopped and said in a deep voice, "Captain, something seems to be wrong."
Mitsui also frowned tightly at this moment, obviously, the situation before him was a little different from what he had expected.
But he didn't have the sharp insight of Kuroto, so he could neither judge the strength of the stranger nor observe the few corpses looming in the sand at the feet of the stranger through the wind and sand.
After hesitating for a while, Mitsui ordered: "Go, let's go over!"
Mitsui was the captain. He gave the order, so Kuroto had no choice but to follow him slowly towards the stranger.
After a while, the two came to the stranger.
The stranger was wrapped in a gray-brown cloak, and even his face was covered with a cloth cover, only a pair of bright eyes were exposed, but the pupil in these eyes was extremely murderous, like a beast watching his prey.
At this time, Mitsui found a few corpses dressed in sand hidden costumes lying at the stranger's feet, and his face suddenly became embarrassed: "You…Who are you?"
The stranger slowly uncovered his hood, pulled off the cloth cover, tilted his head, and said with a joking expression: "Oh, it turns out they are waiting for you here."
"Sasori of the Red Sand!?"

Chapter 9: Chapter – 9 Sandaime KazeKage’s Puppet
"Sasori of the Red Sand!?"
Looking at the red-haired man in front of him, Mitsui and Kuroto exclaimed in unison.
The identity of the other party is no stranger to the two who have just experienced the third ninja war.
The Sasori of the Red Sand, a genius puppet master, one of the strongest ninjas of Sand Village, who disappeared along with the disappearance of the Sandaime Kazekage, and was finally classified as an S-Rank missing-nin.
He has appeared on the battlefield many times to collect the corpses of ninjas and has several records of killing the elite Jonin. His strength is so strong that even ninja villages gave up on chasing him. He is a trouble that the five Ninja villages are unwilling to put their hand into.
Sasori stood akimbo with his hands on his hips and chuckles: "Do you recognize me already? Yeah, Konoha ninjas, now that you have had the chance to meet me, please help me try this newly made artwork!"
As he said so, Sasori took out a scroll with 'three' written on it.
Bang…
After a burst of white smoke, a puppet appeared in front of Mitsui and Kuroto.
Looking at the black iron sand floating around the human puppet, Mitsui, who was stunned, said tremblingly: "This is Magnetic Dun? San…Sandaime Ka…Kazekage!?"
Kuroto was also very surprised, but he was not surprised by Sandaime Kazekage's puppet, but by the fact that he encountered such a strong ninja, like Sasori of the Red Sand at such a remote place!
Such terrible luck!
It is difficult for Kuroto to judge exactly what strength Sasori currently possesses, but at the very least he should be above the level of an elite Jonin, he is an enemy that Kuroto can't deal with anyway at present, so the moment he saw Sasori, he only had one thought left in his mind.
And that's! ......…. HOW to save his life!?
The man puppet who manipulated the Sandaime Kazekage slowly floated up, while Sasori smiled and said mischievously: "This is my most satisfying work so far, Shinobi's of Konoha, enjoy my art!"
As soon as Sasori's voice fell, the iron sand floating around the Sandaime Kazekage's puppets turned into countless fine needles in the sky and shot like raindrops at Mitsui and Kuroto.
Mitsui flung back while holding three kunai with detonating charms in each hand and shot it towards the sky.
Kuroto, who was slightly behind, hid behind Mitsui and ran backward quickly.
Boom… boom… boom…
The explosion of the six detonating Charms caused a burst of smoke on the Desert.
Seeing that the thrown detonation paper barely blocked the iron needle, Mitsui took a cold glance at Kuroto and then fled towards the outpost without uttering a single word.
Even if you don't speak anything, will you even run away alone!
That's just fantastic!
Obviously, Mitsui has finally torn showed his true self and no longer concealed his malice towards Kuroto.
Naturally, Kuroto no longer cared about anything either and fled in another direction.
Watching the two of them flee after putting up just a small resistance, Sasori smiled and jumped to the back of Sandaime Kazekage's puppets, and then Sandaime Kazekage's puppet turned the iron sand into two huge iron sand wings through magnet-dun and flew in the direction of Mitsui's escape. Obviously, the leader Nara Mitsui was Sasori's first priority.
"He can fly!?"
The corner of his eye swept Sasori, flying with the help of the Sandaime Kazekage's puppet, and Kuroto heart sank.
In the ninja world, the ability to fly is a huge advantage. Once you encounter a ninja with the ability to fly on the battlefield, you will often fall into an extremely passive situation.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the Kuroto, running on the ground is definitely not as fast as the Sasori flying in the sky.
Suppressing the mixed thoughts, Kuroto calmly observed the movements of Sasori, while secretly analyzing his situation.
"I saw Sandaime Kazekage's puppets, Sasori will definitely not let me go!��
The fact that the Sandaime Kazekage's corpse was turned into a human puppet by the Sasori should still be a secret, so in order to avoid trouble, Sasori will not let anyone who knows this secret stay alive.
In other words, at the moment when Sasori revealed the Sandaime Kazekage's puppets, Mitsui and Kuroto were already on the list of targets to be killed.
"The nearest post from here is nearly two and a half hours away, and even if we somehow managed to arrive at the outpost, the stationed ninjas there can not resist enemies of Sasori's level. "
'So simply trying to escape is not an option, I have to find a way to repel Sasori!'
While Kuroto was pondering the countermeasures, he suddenly discovered that Mitsui, who was running as fast as him, suddenly fell to the ground.
"What's going on!?" After a little shock, Kuroto immediately reacted: "The iron needle just now was poisonous!"
The explosive tag thrown by Mitsui before did block a large number of iron needles, but one or two iron needles still passed through the explosion and scratched Mitsui's arm.
No matter what happened, neither Mitsui Nakaichi nor Kuroto paid much attention to this fact.
But now seeing Mitsui suddenly fell, Kuroto immediately reacted, and he was also reminded according to the memory of his previous life, Sasori was indeed a master of poison.
Without Mitsui's resistance, continuing to escape will not only waste physical strength but will only add to the embarrassment, so Kuroto decisively stopped.
Stepping forward while bringing out a kunai, and killing Mitsui who was poisoned and unable to move, Sasori leisurely came to Kuroto and said with a playful smile: "Why, did you give up on escaping?"
Kuroto looked at the Sasori: "I have always been curious, why did you defect? With your strength and status, even if you want to be a Kazekage, it is not impossible, right?"
Unexpecting of the calmness shown by Kuroto, Sasori glanced at him once again, and said with a smile: "Don't try to buy time, no one can save you."
As Sasori continued to walk forward, Kuroto continued to speak: "That's right, you dare to plot even against the 'Sandaime KazeKage', known as the strongest KazeKage, how can a mere Sand Village be in your eyes!? Isn't that the case!?"
Sasori didn't answer but narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were still full of playfulness, he was really curious about what Kuroto wanted to do while he was trying to borrow time, although curious Sasori still slowly approached Kuroto.
'Nineteen meters…'
'Seventeen meters… just two meters more to go…, come on,'
'Fourteen meters… just a little more,'
On the surface, Kuroto appeared calm, but in his heart, a group of Kuroto silently calculated the distance between himself and Sasori.
Right now, his only chance of winning is to unexpectedly use Reing Wheel Push/Pull to unexpectedly land a heavy impact on Sasori's body and then use soft fist taijutsu to seal Sasori���s acupoints and stop his chakra flow.
And the current effective range of Rein Wheel is only about 15 meters, so Kuroto must be as close as possible to Sasori.
When Sasori approached a distance of about eleven meters, Kuroto slowly raised his hands.
The Sandaime KazeKage's puppet connected by the chakra line shining with light blue light quickly floated, and the iron sand surrounding it also turned into iron spears.
Knowing that it was close to the extreme distance, Kuroto no longer hesitated, immediately stretched out his hands, and started Rein Wheel Pull with all his strength!
At the moment Kuroto raised his hand, Sasori, who had already had a rich experience for a long time-fighting, life, and death battles, raised his mouth, and revealed a mocking smile. Then, while the puppet manipulating the Sandaime KazeKage protected his front, he retreated backward.
In the eyes of Sasori, Kuroto's actions were nothing more than activating a one-hit kill type suicide ninjutsu, he had already encountered this situation many times, and there was nothing to care about.
Being the maker of The Sandaime KazeKage's Puppet. Sasori couldn't be more clearer of its defense capabilities. Even the A-level ninjutsu can hardly break the iron sand defense of Magnetic Dun, so those ninjas who tried to die with him eventually became part of his collection and nothing more.
"This…!?"
However, what he was expecting to happen did not happen, but on the other hand, the corner of Sasori's mouth that hadn't fully grinned suddenly froze.
Accompanied by a huge howling sound, the Sandaime KazeKage's puppet that stood in front of Sasori was sucked away by a very powerful suction force. This suction force was so strong that it even broke the Chakra line connecting his hands and the Sandaime KazeKage's puppet in an instant.
And when Kuroto saw that it was not Sasori but the puppet of the Sandaime KazeKage that was pulled by his Rein Wheel Pull, Kuroto was also left speechless!
