Seeing that Uchiha Shinichi wasn't about to let him go so easily, Kuroto had no choice but to agree to the challenge.
After arriving at a remote grove, Kuroto glanced around and finally pointed towards a large tree at a distance, "Let's take this duel there!"
Shinichi nodded and proudly declared, "I'm going to let you know this beforehand, I am different from Shisui, and I am not going to go easy on you!"
"Oh!" Kuroto nodded absent-mindedly.
Shinichi was annoyed by this absent-minded reaction it felt as if Kuroto was completely ignoring his presence, "Hey, are you even listening carefully? I-said-I-will-use-everything-I-got! If you don't pay attention or take this battle lightly, you will die for sure!"
Kuroto nodded helplessly as Shinichi tapped his finger on his chest while shouting, however all he could reply was, "I really have something very important to do, can we please hurry this up?"
"DAMN IT!" Shinichi opened his Sharingan in annoyance, and stared fiercely at Kuroto, "You are too ignorant kid! You have to understand the difference between the strong and the weak, today I will let you experience the true might of an Uchiha!"
Having said that, Shinichi quickly printed the hand seal and shouted, "Fire Release: Fireball technique!"
As soon as Shinichi started printing hand seals, Kuroto's figure flashed at high speed to avoid the ninjutsu attack.
Under the cover of Fire Release ninjutsu, Shinichi appeared in front of Kuroto with a quick Body Flicker Technique, the three tomoe in his Sharingan were spinning rapidly.
For a second, they both looked at each other.
As soon as Kuroto matched eyesight with Shinichi's, he was suddenly in a dazed state, his body stopped moving and he stood straight dropping his head blankly just like a soulless puppet.
Shinichi curved his lips seeing the genjutsu attack succeed, "What, so weak? How could Shisui lose to someone so pathetic?"
While muttering to himself Shinichi walked closer to Kuroto.
In the vision of his Sharingan, Kuroto's chakra flow at this moment is extremely chaotic.
This is also the state of having fallen under Genjutsu's effect, so without any care, with the thought that he has already defeated Hyuga Kuroto in just a moment, he put a Kunai at Kuroto's throat first, before proceeding to unlock the genjutsu, so that he can watch opponent's shocked face and humiliate Hyuga Kuroto.
But just as Shinichi raised his right arm, without raising his head, Kuroto suddenly shot a series of palm strikes.
......…tuk…tuk…tuk….
With the muffled sound of fist strikes, Shinichi fell to the ground with a shocked look and passed out.
While patting away some dust, Kuroto said lightly, "Okay, you can come out now Shisui!"
Whish!
As soon as Kuroto spoke, Shisui's figure appeared next to him.
Shisui first glanced at Uchiha Shinichi who had a shocked face while being unconscious, then bowed to Kuroto and said with a smile: "Kuroto-San, thank you for the hard work!"
Obviously, Kuroto has long since noticed Shisui trailing behind Shinichi.
With the friendship between the two, Shisui would have notified him in advance, but since he didn't it could only mean that this all happened all of a sudden.
Kuroto wasn't very worried about Shinichi but something else so he asked feeling a little troubled, "This kind of troublesome thing won't happen every day in the future, right?"
Shisui shook his head and said solemnly, "Of course not, Shinichi is also very respected in the clan. This time he lost so badly; the restless clansmen will definitely wait to strategize some countermeasure. So, I guess, it should take at least a few days at the earliest for the next challenge."
'How can you say that with a straight face!'
Listening to Shisui say that there would be more people coming, Kuroto asked helplessly, "More would be coming!?"
Shisui hurriedly promised, "Don't worry! The elders will definitely make sure to not send elite Jonins after you, at most they will be at the level of Special Jonin or Jonin!"
However, Kuroto had black lines on his forehead as Shisui stated this all so calmly, "So, according to your estimation I am going to be dueling against most of the Uchiha Shinobi? By then, won't I get the strange title of 'Uchihas Nemesis' or something along the lines!!???"
"Hahahaha, that sounds kind of nice! 'Uchiha's Nemesis!!', it's kind of funny, anyway thank you so much Kuroto-San for bearing with the actions of the Uchiha, okay bye, I'll see you next time!" Giving a smirk, Shisui immediately picked up unconscious Shinichi and ran away in a panic!
Kuroto hurriedly shouted from the distance, "Hey, don't escape, next time be sure to inform me in advance!"
The only reason Kuroto managed to defeat Uchiha Shinichi so easily this time, was purely because of the other party's arrogance.
All he had to do was to disrupt his Chakra flow, and Shinichi was easily fooled because of his overconfidence in the Sharingan. If it was someone like Itachi or a more cautious type of person, then it wouldn't have been so easy for Kuroto to win.
"Got it Kuroto-san!"
Shisui expects Kuroto-san to suppress the more and more unrestrained and domineering Uchiha clansmen, so obviously he offered to promise.
After solving this matter, Kuroto's plan remained unchanged, so he went straight to the Forest of Death.
With yesterday's experience, he was more familiar and comfortable with collecting samples.
Today, in less than 2 hours, he had more than twice the number of venom sacs compared to yesterday.
Just as he was about to return, there was a sound of bushes moving around.
Kuroto stopped and searched for the source of the sound.
From the direction of the sound, suddenly a baby wild boar, the same one Kuroto encountered yesterday, sprang out and looked in his direction stupidly.
Seeing the baby boar Kuroto was slightly surprised, "Huh, you are still alive!?"
According to his guess, the poison sac still left in the body of the cobra was more than enough to kill a wild boar ten times the size of this baby boar, so long as it eats the body of the cobra, it should have definitely died!
"Did it not eat the cobra, or did it remove the poison sac?" As soon as Kuroto thought about this, he couldn't help but be more confused, because he suddenly discovered that there were traces of chakra flowing through the body of the boar, this is definitely different from what he saw yesterday.
"How come…?" This change was unexpected according to him.
Although the wild animals can learn to use chakra accidentally, the probability of such an accident happening is very small, more often such animals are intelligent than their peers, and generally, they are strong and the old types. For such a young baby boar to learn to use chakra, is undoubtedly unexpected.
"Is it the birth of a genius or a monster!?"
While Kuroto was thinking, the baby boar rushed towards him and grunted!
"What!?"
As Kuroto asked what does it want from him, the baby boar started circling around him.
"You wanna play!?"
It shook its head negatively.
"So, you understand me!?"
No reply!
"What do you want!? Something to eat!?"
Grunt-grunt, it makes a grunting sound as it shakes its head positively.
"So, you want something to eat!? Sorry little guy I don't have anything----- WAIT!" he suddenly stopped halfway and took out a small thumb size sac from his waist pouch and threw it towards the baby boar. "Do you want to eat that?"
Wild animals generally have instincts that let them distinguishes between what's good for them and what's not, so Kuroto wants to check whether this unusual little boar he encountered will eat the poison sac?
After all, the smell of this poison sac is slightly pungent, let alone eating, ordinary animals will stay away from this sort of smell, but if this baby boar dared to eat this, then it would finally mean that he is extraordinary at least.
Here Kuroto was thinking that it would at least smell what it's eating, but NO! As soon as Kuroto threw the poison sac, it jumped up and swallowed the poison sac as a whole while still in mid-air.
As the baby boar swallowed the poison sac Kuroto decided to wait for a while and watch what happens.
So, he waited… and he waited… and waited… and waited… and waited a little more… but nothing happened to the little guy as it continued nudging him at the feet asking for more.
"Heh, this is kind of interesting!" Kuroto smiled as he threw more poison sacs.

After circling a few rounds around Kuroto, baby boar that happily swallowed a few more poison sacs nudged him a few times and disappeared into the forest.
"Is it resistant to poison?" Kuroto contemplated and thought of an experimental plan.
He has been lacking a suitable experimental subject. Although using guinea pigs like rats and rabbits for conducting tests is well and good, but they aren't ideal subjects as their poison resistance is far too weak.
As such the baby boar that seems to have strong poison resistance is a good solution to his problem.
With this thought in mind, Kuroto returned home.
There are two main types of poisons Kuroto is compounding.
First: Instant Paralysis Poison.
Ingredients: Venom powder from the crushed wings of a moth, venom from the tail of the red-tailed scorpion, and venom of the giant red ant.
The venom powder of moth has a strong paralyzing effect and the venom of red-tailed scorpion increases the rate of blood circulation as well as acts as a catalyst. The concoction of the two venom results in an instant paralysis venom.
Modulating venom, A with the venom of a giant red ant will increase the activity of the resulting poison by four to five times.
Second: Killing Poison.
Ingredients: Venom of One-eyed viper, tarantula spiders, giant black centipede, and saliva of the giant red ant.
Kuroto's summon beast, the venom of the one-eyed viper is already very toxic if it is mixed with other poisons and configured as a compound toxin than the standard antidotes used by the great ninja villages would be of no use.
Of course, these are just his thesis and theories, continuous research and experimentation is the necessary process to bring these poisons into reality.
So, after a whole afternoon of hard work, Kuroto prepared a total of ten samples of which five are paralytic and the other five are killing poison.
The reason for preparing so many samples is to find out the most optimum ratio.
Seeing that it was already past afternoon, he packed up all work and decided to go to Forest of Death tomorrow to find the baby boar.
As of the evening, he has other plans.
Uchiha Clan grounds.
Itachi, who was returning home from the academy, saw that the clansmen were gathered in groups of 2 or 3 and seem to be discussing somethings, this scene also attracted his attention, so while walking he perked up his ears and listened.
"Shinichi actually lost?"
"Yes, I heard that he lost terribly and Shisui had to carry him back while unconscious!"
"Too incompetent, how could he lose? Moreover, how could the elders and clan head allow him to go after Hyuga Kuroto if he was so weak! Isn't this discrediting the reputation of the Uchihas!!!"
"Don't be an idiot! We both know that Shinichi isn't weak, he has been a Special Jonnin for about 2 years. In fact, I heard he was going to take the upcoming Jonin assessment, so how he be considered weak?"
"So, what are you trying to say? That Hyuga kid is so strong?"
"Huh! How can that be? I heard that he was just a wartime Chunin a few months ago, how can he be so strong?"
"But it stands to reason that he defeated both Shisui and Shinichi!"
"There's only one explanation to this, I say Shisui didn't take him seriously!"
"Shisui may not have taken the Hyuga kid seriously, but Shinichi also lost to him… if again someone of the Uchiha is defeated by him, then..."
"Can't let that happen!"
"Definitely send a strong one next time!"
"We have to make sure that he realizes that Uchiha are not so easy to mess around with!"
After listening for a while, Itachi walked away with a helpless expression, "Sure enough…"
The 'Sure enough' here has two meanings.
First is that the Uchiha Shinichi really lost!
The second is that the Uchiha can't swallow this defeat silently.
Full of thoughts, Itachi returned home.
While passing by the courtyard, he found his father sitting in a room while turning over some documents. In order not to disturb his father, he subconsciously relaxed his steps.
At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku suddenly called, "Itachi?"
Being called suddenly, Itachi hurriedly stood up straight, "Father, I am back!"
Uchiha Fugaku just nodded without looking back, still doing some work, and asked in a flat tone, "Did you hear the rumors circulating among the Uchiha?"
"Yes, I just heard the clansmen talking about Shinichi's loss."
Fugaku nodded and asked, "What are our thoughts on the matter?"
Itachi's talent and mature mindset are visible to most, and being his father, Uchiha Fugaku is clear about this fact more than anyone, so from a very early time, Fugaku has been training Itachi as the next Uchiha clan head.
For this reason, Fugaku occasionally asks Itachi's views on certain affairs to exercise his knowledge and thinking ability to handle political affairs.
Listening to Fugaku's question Itachi was silent for a while, and after thinking a little he replied, "For the Uchihas, this loss may be a good thing."
Listening to Itachi's reply Fugaku waved his hand noncommittally, and said, "You can go…"
Itachi bowed to his father and left the courtyard silently while busy thinking.
Past evening.
After repeatedly confirming that no one was spying on him, Kuroto shut all the windows and doors of his house.
Kuroto uses the evening time to practice various techniques involved in creating an artificial tailed beast.
To successfully create an artificial tailed beast, of course, Fuinjutsu knowledge isn't the only requirement, one must also have mastery over chakra shape transformation and some ninjutsu's should also be mastered to reduce any errors or omissions in the process of creation because there would be no opportunities for modification once any mistake happens.
Therefore, before officially starting the artificial tail beast project, Kuroto is making sure that he is 100% proficient in all the techniques required.
But to have 100% mastery there isn't any shortcut except hard work, so taking advantage of this short vacation granted by Hokage-sama, Kuroto is practicing.
Because as the saying goes 'practice makes a man perfect!', so as long he practices enough, 100% proficiency isn't difficult to achieve.
While Kuroto was busy with all the practice and hard work, On the border of Land of Fire and Land of Hot Water.
One Cloud Shinobi crushed the throat of a Konoha ninja held in his hands and said to the Jonin captain beside him, "It seems that Konoha hasn't noticed yet!"
Yugito Nii who was squatting while looking at the map spread on the ground said "However, our team seems to be slower."
Another Cloud Jonin approached her and frowned while looking at the map: "The information sent by the spies is not accurate, this is already the fastest we can go!"
"It shouldn't be the problem of the intelligence team. It is very likely that Konoha recently changed their defensive formation at this border." After a pause, Yugito Nii continued, "Forget it, continue the advancement, we must confluence with the unit led by Bee-san in two days!"
With Yugito Nii's order, more than 20 cloud shinobi dashed towards the hinterlands of Land of Fire…
