Chapter 45: Chapter - 45 Self Realization
While supporting each other out of the cave, Guy's figure was the first one that came into Kuroto's sight.
Obviously, Guy faithfully followed Kuroto's instructions and didn't let either of the Sand or Rock shinobi enter inside the cave.
Finally noticing that the three people although in a battered state but safely came out of the cave, Guy showed his signature smile and spoke with a thumb up, "Kuroto, I knew you will succeed!"
Not far away Kakashi didn't say anything but took a breath of relief. No matter how cold and indifferent he may look, his subconscious actions speak otherwise.
Pakura along with the other shinobi of the Sand village also carefully observed Miko-sama, Kuroto, and Shisui. The previous movements and shaking of the cave was felt by everyone outside, so they can more or less guess, at least Pakura being a near Kage class Kunoichi can make some conclusions just how fierce the battle inside might have been, and the fact that both the Konoha Shinobi not only managed to come out alive but also successfully sealed the Demon, earned both of them her respect.
On the other hand, the look in the eyes of the Rock Beheading unit was not so good, although their captain didn't let it show on his face; by masking himself with a thoughtful look, that seemed to say that he was considering some things by being a little absent-minded, it wasn't that difficult for Kuroto to judge some of his intentions.
Since the Demon Moryo; which was a threat to the Shinobi world is successfully sealed, the cooperative relationship between the several Shinobi villages has also come to an end; and is replaced by previous hostility just like all times.
At this time, Miko-sama who was holding the cubical wooden box gratefully bowed to all the ninjas present and thanked them earnestly for helping her seal Moryo.
Although the others that were outside didn't play any significant role like Kuroto and Shisui, just from the broken stone puppets of the Ghost Army lying all around and the traces of battle left it's not hard for her to see that the battle that took place outside to stop the interference of the Ghost Army was just as fierce if not fiercer than the one that took place inside.
After all, until Moryo is completely sealed the ghost Army had a continuous supply of Chakra, because of which they were almost undefeatable due to their toughness and regeneration giving them an immortal trait.
And even then, the Shinobi guarding the cave didn't let even a single puppet pass through, which made it possible for Kuroto and Shisui to suppress the Demon, therefore, Miko-sama was earnestly grateful to all those present here.
After everyone accepted Miko-sama's gratitude, the Shinobi of Sand and Rock villages left one after another, while the Konoha Class-11 was responsible for safely escorting Miko-sama back to her Temple in the Lands of Demon.
Because of the deal between Kuroto and Miko-sama Konoha Shinobi were also given another mission of eradicating the remnants of Cultists as an excuse of their temporary stay in the Lands of Demons.
Of course, the work of eradicating the remnants of the cultists was handed over to Kakashi, Guy, and Shisui by Kuroto, while he recovered from his injuries at Miko's temple patiently waiting for the delivery of 'Purple Clay'.
While he didn't have nothing much to do Kuroto recollected and summed up his battle with Moryo.
This battle was the first time that he had used up all his Chakra since awakening the Tenseigan, therefore, even though he had to rely on the Secret Technique that cost him approximately 2 to 3 months of lifespan, it still exposed and gave him an understanding of many of his problems and flaws, which was an unexpected gain.
But the adverse effects of exhausting all his chakra volume were more serious than he expected them to be making him unable to exert any energy and an extremely worn out spirit in the following days to come.
Undoubtedly Kuroto is glad that the Tenseigan pair within his eye sockets is his own, making it perfect sync with his soul and body so the burden is easy to bear.
If his Tenseigan would have been transplanted from others, then by now he would have suffered an irrecoverable backlash, and even if he somehow managed to survive he would have lost much of his vitality.
And this was the case with Otsutsuki Toneri; after being defeated by Naruto the Tenseigan he awakened by transplantation of Hanabi's Byakugan faded away since his chakra and spirit were exhausted.
When someone like Toneri; capable of cutting the Moon in half wasn't able to keep the Tenseigan awakened, goes to show just how difficult it is to maintain the Tenseigan.
Similar is the case with the Rinnegan, the power displayed by Madara with it is obviously of another scale compared to Nagato or Obito.
They never used techniques like Tengai Shinsei, or Rinbo: Hengoku and other superior techniques of the Rinnegan like Madara did, this clarifies just how different it is when the real awakener uses the dojutsu compared to non-awakener.
The weaklings don't even have the qualification to possess the Eyes of Gods!
This again confirmed Kuroto's guess that his Tensigan is in sync with him spiritually and has been suppressing its abilities instinctively to avoid causing any irreversible damage to Kuroto who isn't yet worthy of possessing them.
After understanding this Kuroto couldn't help but sigh emotionally.
Now Kuroto has also understood not use all his chakra rashly in the future, at the same time he is more obsessed with the artificial tailed beast, the same kind of obsession that Orochimaru had with the Sharingan. As a result of which Kuroto couldn't help it anymore and asked Miko-sama to teach him Fuinjutsu.
However, her reply was a disappointment for him.
According to Miko-sama Miko's Fuinjutsu techniques can't be used by those not carrying their blood, and this point has been verified by several generations of Miko's.
Simply put, it's a Kekkai Genkai. This is also the reason why the position of Miko's of the Land of Demons is inherited only by their descendants.
So, Kuroto had no choice but to sigh in disappointment, but Miko-sama still promised to help him learn the other Fuinjutsu techniques he wants, as a Fuinjutsu master it is not very difficult for her to understand other techniques. Therefore, Kuroto immediately entrusted all the 700+ Fuinjutsu techniques involved in the artificial tailed beast plan to Miko-sama and asked for her guidance.
Miko-sama was also not reserved but in fact, showed great interest.
All the sealing techniques involve in the artificial tailed beast plan are of the Uzumaki Clan. Being the most proficient clan to have even developed techniques like the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, the Adamantine Sealing Chains, the Four Symbols Seal, etc. Even Miko-sama with extreme mastery over Fuinjutsu was amazed by their skills.
After several days of research and learning, combined with her own knowledge, she soon became familiar with the Uzumaki seals and mastered all the Fuinjutsu techniques involved in the artificial tailed beast plan.
"These techniques are simply too deft, Uzumaki's were really admirable to have developed such amazing knowledge." these words came from her heart.
Uzumaki Fuinjutsu style focuses on 'Controlling the strong by the weak'. With the weak body of a human, monsters like tailed beasts can be easily suppressed, this is the reason why since the establishment of Konoha, Kyuubi's Jinchuriki has always been the Uzumaki clansmen.
So, after learning all these sealing techniques Miroku felt that she had actually taken a big advantage off of Kuroto, which is why she wholeheartedly guided him in learning Fuinjutsu without any reservation…

Chapter 46: Chapter – 46 Title at the END
Since awakening the Tenseigan Kuroto's comprehensive power has increased a lot; therefore, under Miko-sama's careful guidance he mastered all the 700+ techniques involved in the artificial tailed beast plan within 10 days.
"These Fuinjutsu techniques are aimed for sealing the tailed beasts, aren't they?" This was her conclusion.
Kuroto didn't try to hide from her since it was pretty much useless to do so in the first place and nodded while he also asked a question, "Miko-sama, do you think it would be possible to suppress the tailed beasts with mastery over this much knowledge?"
She thought for a while then shook her head, "Uzumaki Fuinjutsu knowledge is too deft, although I have understood most of what you have provided me with, it's still not enough for me to draw out a conclusion. Besides, there are many parts even I am not confident about, so I can't say for sure."
Kuroto frowned from her response, "You were able to seal Moryo who has a similar level of strength as a tailed beast, shouldn't you be able to judge using this fact alone?"
However, Kuroto had to be disappointed as Miko-sama denied with an apologetic smile, "You're misunderstanding as well as overestimating my strength Kuroto-san. The only reason I can seal Moryo is because of the natural restraint Miko's Fuinjutsu has on him. If it was a tailed beast in his stead, the result would have definitely been unpredictable.
As the two sides of one coin, Miko's and Moryo have a mutual restraint on each other, so our fight cannot be used as a basis to make an effective judgment."
Listening to her words Kuroto's frown deepened, for the past 2 weeks he has been using Miko-sama's battle with Moryo as a basis to judge the strength of tailed beasts.
But now that she has said otherwise, Kuroto finally understands that the reason why Konoha dropped the Tailed beast project is that the lack of Fuinjutsu knowledge to safely create a Jinchuriki. The tailed beasts must be secured with enough restraints, else it isn't a weapon against the enemies but a ticking time bomb for their own village, and with the demise of the Uzumaki clan, Konoha's source of obtaining such information disappeared.
Since he thought about it, Kuroto decided to have an in-depth discussion with Miko-sama. So, after pondering for a while, he asked her, "Miko-sama have you ever seen a tailed beast?"
Miko-sama shook her head.
"I personally estimate that the strength of Moryo is in the same class as Ichibi or maybe Nibi." Taking a short pause, he continued, "If you don't count the natural restraint you have on Moryo, do you think it would have been possible to seal Moryo with these techniques?"
Miko-sama took a moment to think and then replied, "If Moryo is in a weakened state, it may be possible! Regardless of that, if Konoha village needs help in sealing the tailed beast I might be able to help!"
"How?"
Miko-sama explained, "Uzumaki Fuinjutsu technique is different Miko's as their primary focus is internal sealing, while I have mastery over external sealing."
Since Kuroto has already mastered the basics of Fuinjutsu, he immediately understood what she was trying to imply.
Uzumaki Fuinjutsu pays more attention to practicality, their sealing technique is often focused from the inside to the outside, as such it is possible to obtain the power of the sealed subject. The best example of this power is the Kyuubi's Jinchuriki.
On the other hand, Miko's Fuinjutsu is more traditional, as they focus on isolation and suppression. In terms of subtlety, it is far inferior to Uzumaki's while in terms of stability they are far superior to Uzumaki's.
Now that he knows this Kuroto immediately cooked up a new idea, that is, a double seal!
In the first step, as per the thesis according to the scroll given to him by Orochimaru, use the core-shell made of 'Purple Clay', and use Uzumaki Fuinjutsu techniques to make an unstable tailed beast.
In the second step, use Miko's Fuinjutsu to seal the unstable tailed beast in an object that can be carried.
In this way, the risk of artificial tailed beast running away will be greatly reduced, and Kuroto wouldn't have to be worried about being influenced by it either. There would be no need to worry about it on regular days, and it can be immediately suppressed by external seals if something is found wrong while in battle.
With this objective in his mind, Kuroto decided his further course of action.
.................................…
A few days later, Kakashi and the others responsible for destroying the cultists returned to the Temple of Miko.
From the looks of it, the mission wasn't a success. After Moryo was sealed, these cultists vanished into thin air, no matter how much effort they put all they could find were some of the low-level members, but their leader Yomi was missing.
However contrary to what Kuroto expected Miko-sama didn't care too much about this.
According to her, without Moryo's support, Yomi is no different from just some Chunin class wandering nin, if he leaves any trace then she can just hire shinobi from the five great nations to eliminate him.
Since Miko-sama didn't care Kuroto also put past the thought, since Miroku-sama is alive which is different from the case according to the original series therefore Moryo's resurrection shouldn't happen, moreover, he will be in contact with her for his artificial tailed beast plan so there would be more opportunities to come to eliminate Yomi.
Kakashi and others were a little depressed about it, but they also knew that the 11th Class can no longer stay in the Land of Demons as it has already been close to a month since they left for the mission and since the Konoha is under great pressure so they have to leave, so with an apology they bid goodbye to Miko-sama and left.
Before they left Miko-sama also completed her part of the deal so Kuroto received Purple Clay as promised.
In fact, she went a little board and collected nearly a ton of Purple Clay by mobilizing the power of Land of Demons, although it must have cost a lot but nobody complained.
After all, some monetary value is nothing compared to the countless lives that were saved, including her own.
Additionally, Kuroto and Shisui repeatedly reassured her that they would never reveal her secret so Miko-sama went full throttle, and the authorities of Land of Demons naturally complied with her demand.
So after finally bidding farewell to Miko-sama and Shion, the four Shinobi of the Class-11 embarked on their returning journey.
On the way back, the four shinobi who went through many life and death battles together in the past few days were more friendly with each other and chatted without any reservation. This mission not only increased their knowledge, strength, and experience but also their trust in each other.
Even the silent and indifferent Kakashi would occasionally add sentences in the conversation.
The group mostly traveled with occasional stops, soon they were past the territory of the Land of Demons and entered the Country of Bears.
There is a small shinobi village in the Country of bears, but their military strength isn't very strong, so there are many wandering ninjas here that are supported by Rock Village. Their purpose is to quietly infiltrate this country and continuously plunder the resources of the Country of Bears.
While traveling through a dense forest, Kuroto at the front suddenly stopped.
Guy asked quickly, "What's wrong?"
Kuroto's replied with a gloomy face, "Ambush!"
Kuroto's reply immediately alerted the other three.
Kakashi sniffed his surroundings, he actually has very good smelling senses like that of an Inuzuka making him able to even notice what others can't. Even in the third shinobi war, he used this point to take advantage of his enemies.
Boom…... Boom... boom…
Suddenly, a series of violent explosions broke out all around, and the flames of the explosions engulfed the four shinobi of class 11…
