Chapter 15: Chapter – 15 Shinnō
After discussing the matter of team formation, Kuroto looked through the task list again, and Itachi stood aside properly, quietly waiting for Kuroto to select the task.
When I turned to the second page of the task list, a name suddenly caught Kuroto's attention.
"Shinnō!? Who, who dare to openly claim him?" Kuroto slandered in the bottom of my heart, and Kuroto immediately checked this task seriously.
The task is very simple. It is to escort a doctor named Shinnō to the Country of Land adjacent to the country of fire.
Staring at the task introduction, Kuroto frowned slightly. For some reason, he always felt familiar with something from it.
After a while, he finally remembered.
In the vague memory, there is indeed a remnant of the sky village disguised as a doctor, traveling around the countries, gaining prestige, while waiting for opportunities to steal the secret forbidden techniques of various Shinnō villages, and this guy seems to be called 'Shinnō'. Tossing out a man-made tail beast named 'zero tail', making a lot of noise in the ninja world.
"Will it really be him?"
Secretly, Kuroto decided that he would follow this task no matter whether it was allowed or not.
After completing the procedures for receiving the task, Kuroto and Itachi quickly met the client.
Looking closely at the man named Shinnō in front of him, Kuroto had an answer in his heart. The person in front of him, whether in appearance or dress, roughly matches the Shinnō in his memories.
There is no doubt that this guy is the remnant of Land of the Sky, the future creator of the Zero Tail.
Knowing the identity of the other party, Kuroto calmly introduced himself: "My name is Hyuga Kuroto, and I am a Konoha Chunin, and I am also the leader of the team who accepts your entrusted task. The one next to me is my team member. His name is Uchiha Itachi, Konoha genin."
Shinnō, who was just in his early thirties, was very polite and bowed: "Then I will ask you two this time.��
"We will definitely try our best, but before we set off, I need to know something about it." After a pause, Kuroto asked: "You should have your own reasons for raising the task to level B, right? Tell me, who is the enemy we might face?"
Shinnō was a little embarrassed and coughed slightly: "In fact, it's not an enemy, it's just a little misunderstanding. When I was in Yunyin Village before, it seemed that a theft happened in their village, so they suspected me of it. The theft is related, but you know that I am just an ordinary doctor, how could I have anything to do with this kind of thing!"
"I have to be an Idiot to actually believe you!" Kuroto secretly laughed because he knew Shinnō's true identity, he also changed his mind and thought, "This guy seems to have a good way to steal techniques from other ninja villages!"
Even the high-level spies of Konoha can hardly penetrate the ghost places like Yunyin Village. It is even more difficult to steal information, ninjutsu, forbidden skills, etc., and this shameless Shinnō can actually steal something from the cloud village, and what is even more amazing is that he can retreat after that? This is definitely something to surprise people.
Kuroto decided it might be useful to keep an eye on this guy as he might be useful in the future. Kuroto decided not to eliminate him. After a little preparation, the group of three set out on the trip to Tanokuni.
As soon as he left the village, Kuroto noticed Itachi's seriousness. Whether it was the choice of route or the camping location, his choice appeared quite decent and impeccable.
On the road, Itachi would even correct the errors and omissions on the map he carried with him from time to time. When camping, he would record the itinerary of the day and occasionally write down some experience.
It can be said that the existence of Itachi has saved Kuroto a lot of manual trouble.
Naturally, Kuroto was not idle either. He used the unparalleled insight of the Tenseigan to observe Itachi and Shinnō all the time. Through the changes in their facial expressions and the expansion and contraction of their muscles, he exercised his insight and predictive ability.
Sensitive Itachi quickly noticed this, but he thought Kuroto was just examining whether he was a qualified Ninja.
So there is no resistance.
Shinnō was also undoubtedly aware of it, but he tried his best to cover it up, revealing an appearance of ignorance, laughing, and talking about the interesting things when traveling around.
After several weeks of walking and stopping, the group finally arrived at the border between the country of fire and the country of Lightening.
Seeing it was getting late, Kuroto said: "Itachi, find a suitable camping site, rest well tonight, and cross the border tomorrow."
"Yes!"
Itachi responded properly, and then jumped to the tree, looking for a suitable camping site.
Shinnō on the side laughed and said, "Kuroto-kun and Itachi-kun are worthy of being Konoha ninja!"
Kuroto nonchalantly waved his hand ignoring the false praise from Shinnō, "The ninja world speaks only by strength after all."
Shinnō still smiled and said: "I have seen many ninjas when traveling around, but there are not many ninjas as good as you, and it will probably not be long before your names will be spread in the ninja world."
Knowing what Shinnō meant, Kuroto didn't care about the flattery and turned the topic to medical skills.
It is undeniable that this Shinnō is very accomplished in medical skills, especially in the fields of bandaging techniques, human meridians, herbal pharmacology, etc., surpassing ordinary doctors by a lot.
This is one of the reasons why he can pretend to be a doctor and travel around the world, otherwise, he would have been captured for being a spy long ago.
After finding a camp with a wide view, the three of them discussed the human meridians while eating dry food. Of course, it was Shinnō who was explaining, and Kuroto and Itachi were studying.
The meridians of the human body are not mysterious to Kuroto, because of being born in the Hyuga clan. He has learned meridian knowledge from the clan for the practice of soft boxing, while the meridian knowledge explained by Shinnō is for the medical fields, different ideas, and different viewpoints, under the collision, Kuroto has gained some deeper understanding of the human meridian system.
Itachi also listened very seriously, and within a short while, he wrote and painted several pages in his pocketbook.
The human meridians are not unfamiliar to the Uchiha clan either who have the Sharingan, but there is no medical inheritance related to the human meridian in the Uchiha clan, so this knowledge of Shinnō is especially precious.
Shinnō explained with dedication, but he did so naturally for a purpose. In his eyes, the two ninjas, Kuroto and Itachi, belong to the two great clans of Konoha, are of great value in making friendship. Once a personal relationship is established, he will be active in Konoha.
While chatting, Kuroto suddenly asked, "By the way, what the hell did Yunyin Village lose? Want to trouble you as a doctor so much?"
"I don't know this, I have nothing to do with this matter!" With an awkward smile, Shinnō explained: "This time, if it wasn't for the plague in a village in the country of Lightening, I wouldn't have gone there. An old friend of my friend came over personally and begged me to go there. I really don't want to run around at this time.
Knowing that there is no useful information coming out of Shinnō's mouth, Kuroto said: "Well, I will think about it. Let's rest for now. We have to hurry tomorrow."
Hearing this, Itachi used wire and bells to lay several tripwires around the camp, and then he jumped up and found a branch with a good view to rest.
Staring at Itachi, who is skilled in arranging traps, Kuroto secretly sighed, "Uchiha clan is really good at training ninjas. At such a young age, Itachi can already set up such complex traps."

Chapter 16: Chapter - 16 Matatabi Jinchuriki
After observing the early warning traps set up by Itachi, Kuroto randomly picked a clean spot, leaned against the tree trunk, and fell into a light sleep.
In the false sleep, Kuroto thought about his own affairs.
Except for the lack of inheritance about the information on Tenseigan, the biggest problem that restricts his improvement at the moment is the amount of Chakra.
As the Tenseigan entered a stable period after the adaption period, the increase in his Chakra volume has also stabilized. Although it is increasing every day, the effect is far less significant than during the adaptation period.
In terms of Chakra volume alone, although he already has an impressive chakra volume among the peers of the same generation, this does not satisfy him. He hasn't reached anywhere near Yondaime Hokage-sama's level!
In fact, there is no way to solve this problem.
The tail beast is a very good supply of chakras. Almost all the jinchuriki have near inexhaustible chakras in the raw form. The difference lies in whether they can control it or not.
However, the nine-tailed beasts are in the hands of the five great Shinobi villages, and they are still Akatsuki's goal in the future. Therefore, capturing these tailed beasts is no less than grabbing food from the mouth of a tiger. If he doesn't pay attention, he will set yourself on fire.
On the other hand, Reibi is different. This is a self-made artificial tailed beast. Although its strength and stability are far inferior to the original Nine-tailed beasts, if it is only used as a chakra 'battery', it might solve Kuroto's low chakra level problems.
Thinking of this, Kuroto inadvertently glanced at Shinnō who was resting not far away and thought to himself: "When Reibi officially appeared, Uzumaki Naruto had grown into a teenager. If I have to wait for more than ten years, it wouldn't exactly be useful for me, Need to search for another method to accelerate the time of Reibi's appearance."
The next morning,
The three packed up and went on the road again, and when they entered the territory of Ta-no-Kuni(Land of Sound), they were immediately spotted by a group of wandering ninjas.
The wandering ninjas are often missing-nin of the five Great Ninja Villages and the rebellion ninjas of the small Ninja Villages. These ninjas are generally not strong, so most of them are entrenched in small countries like the country of tea or waves without the protection of the Ninja village.
Looking at the wandering ninjas hiding far behind him, Itachi asked, "Captain, what should we do?"
Kuroto looked around and said lightly: "There are three ninjas ambushing from the front, and three are behind. I will solve the front, you solve the back, a quick fight don't delay if not necessary!"
swish...
swish...
Following Kuroto's order, he and Itachi turned into two afterimages, one after the other, pounced on the wandering ninjas who were staring at them.
On Kuroto's side, he didn't use Rein Wheel, but with the amazing insight of the Tenseigan, he solved the three wandering ninjas in front of him with two soft fists attack each.
And when Kuroto turned around to check, Itachi also ended the battle.
With the exquisite kunai throwing skills, coupled with the movements without a trace of extra action, Itachi's battle is also straightforward, not inferior to Kuroto in any aspect.
The whole battle seemed to be just an inconspicuous episode, and the three of them didn't care too much and continued on their way.
After walking for another half day, Kuroto suddenly stopped.
Both Itachi and Shinnō looked puzzled, but upon noticing that Kuroto looking into the distance with a very serious face, so they didn't ask questions, but unconsciously became alert.
After a few breaths, Kuroto said in a deep voice: "We are probably in trouble!"
Itachi asked, "Is it Cloud shinobi?"
Kuroto nodded.
The four people who are fast approaching them all have a good amount of chakras, especially the leading one. The amount of chakras is more than anyone Kuroto has ever seen before, even more than the Sandaime Hokage!
Moreover, the four of them did not even try to conceal their movements, this simply meant their target was his group.
Kuroto is not stupid, by now he had realized that what Shinnō had stolen in the cloud village should be something very important, otherwise, the other party would not be so set on retrieving it that they sent such an elite team to pursue it.
After just ten breaths, the four figures appeared on the surrounding big trees, condescendingly examining Kuroto and others without hiding their presence.
While the other party analyzing Kuroto's group, Kuroto also observed the other party.
There are a total of four people on the opposite side. The leader is a female ninja who is probably of the same age as Kuroto. And based on the memories of his previous life, Kuroto can make a good guess of her identity, although he doesn't exactly remember her name, but he can be sure she is the jinchuriki of Matatabi.
In addition to the jinchuriki, the other three in the team seem to be high-level chunin, their responsibility should be guarding Matatabi Jinchuriki specially arranged by Yondaime Raikage of the Cloud Village.
After a brief stare of the opposite party, Jinchuriki spoke coldly, "Hey, Konoha brats! Hurry up! Go back and tell your village, that you encountered Cloud Shinobi, Konoha won't blame you for giving up the task!"
It was obvious that she and Kuroto were of similar age, but he was treated as 'brats!', oh now the readers can imagine our protagonists' mood. {Wirter: I don't blame her! Taking a kid Itachi to the mission was your idea! Obviously, she doesn't understand who is Itachi!}
Similar to all the cloud shinobi's Matatabi Jinchuriki is also very conceited of her strength and did not hesitate to look down on Kuroto and Itachi. Such blatant disrespect isn't unnatural from the cloud shinobis side.
According to Kuroto's vague impression of Matatabi Jinchuriki she is too arrogant, she insisted to single out Akatsuki's undead duo and ended up being captured, not only lost Matatabi but also lost her life.
Shinnō's face was uncertain at this moment.
He has a lot of experience traveling around the world. In his eyes, Hyuga Kuroto and Uchiha Itachi are indeed very good ninjas, but compared with Cloud's jinchuriki, they are obviously weaker.
Itachi is a thoughtful person. When he saw the lineup sent by Cloud village, he guessed that Shinnō, as their employer, must be hiding something very important.
Seeing Kuroto and Itachi seemed unmoved, jinchuriki girl said again: "This guy named Shinnō has stolen our important secrets from Cloud Village. He is a complete liar. Do you think it is worth it to give up your life for such a worthless person?"
Shinnō immediately defended: "I have never entered your village at all. How could I steal your secrets? It is not honorable for you to treat a doctor like this!"
Jinchuriki sneered, "No need to argue, we will know after the interrogation, whether you're speaking the truth or not!."
Kuroto was really hesitant at the moment. He did the task to uplift his status and reputation. If he didn't fight, he would betray his employer, let alone complete his objective. I am afraid he would in fact be punished by the village for giving up on the mission.
And the jinchuriki is not an ordinary opponent, once he fights, the degree of battle is difficult to control.
Boom...
Just as Kuroto was weighing the pros and cons, there was a sudden explosion in the distance.
For a time, both the enemy and their eyes were attracted to the distance.
When Kuroto looked, he found that two people were fighting in that, and recognized both of them, they were none other than his teacher Orochimaru and Jiraiya, two of the three Konoha Sannin.
At this moment, from the corner of his eyes, he suddenly noticed that a hint of joy flashed across Shinnō's face...
