Chapter 70: Chapter – 68 Forbidden Spots
A few days later.
Land of Hot Water.
Kakashi and Guy who were unconscious lay side by side on the ground inside a small cave, while Kuroto sat on the side and Shisui was sitting at the campfire busy cooking.
Stirring the small pot on the fire Shisui whispered, "Kuroto-San, the soup is just about ready!"
Kuroto nodded eagerly, he was really hungry right now.
Although he still has Military Ration Pills left with him, their taste is just too awful.
Now, it's not that Kuroto hates eating it but like most other Shinobi he would also prefer eating something delicious like fish soup over the tasteless Military Ration Pills.
Without much delay, Shisui brought a bowl of fresh steaming fish soup for Kuroto.
While drinking the soup, Kuroto looked over towards Kakashi and Guy who were lying unconscious.
It's funny to think that Guy who retreated first with Kakashi on Kuroto's orders, was more injured than him and Shisui.
But it's not that strange if you think about it, even if Kuroto and Shisui tried their best, they were unable to stop any follow-up chase after Guy, as a result, he was intercepted by cloud ninjas and had no choice other than to use Hachimon Tonkou.
Hachimon Tonkou is a forbidden Jutsu that damages the enemy 1000 points and injures oneself by 800 points, so although Guy successfully managed to repel the enemy shinobi, he was also injured severely.
On the other hand, Kakashi's situation is even more complicated.
Although Kakashi has serious injuries and excessive blood loss, the reason for him being in a coma is something else.
As for what that reason might be?
Kuroto has no idea for the time being.
He doesn't even have much time to worry about Kakashi right now as his own troubles have not been solved yet.
...…. crack...
For some reason, Kuroto suddenly wrinkled his eyebrows, and the bowl in his hand fell to the ground, breaking into several fragments which alerted Shisui.
Shisui suddenly asked, "Kuroto-San, are you alright, did something happen? Is there anyone approaching here?"
Kuroto only shook his head negatively with a sullen face, "Huh… Nothing happened."
After reassuring Shisui one more time, Kuroto turned to look outside the cave.
The night sky outside was very charming, bright stars like diamonds filled the night sky, bright and soft moonlight only enhanced this beauty, making it all feel surreal.
Looking at such a charming night, Kuroto can only sigh as he was worried about something else, "Huh… did that small incident shocked them so much?"
Kuroto thinks so only because just a few moments ago the search curtain of Tenseigan Chakra again went past them. He wouldn't have even noticed this if not for the fact that he is now familiar with Hamura's chakra.
Shisui, sitting beside him didn't react all.
This just goes to show how secretive the chakra search of the giant Tenseigan is. Even Shisui with the Mangekyou can't perceive it at all.
'This has already been the seventh time today! Why haven't they given up yet? Wasn't it just some tiny amount of Chakra? Why can't they let go of this for once?' – Kuroto thought.
He is very annoyed by this, but he knows that the last members of the Otsutsuki Clan on the Moon are all pure radicals.
Obviously, they misunderstood Hamura, thinking that the Shinobi World created by the Sage of the Six Path is nothing more than a failure, and took it upon themselves to destroy and recreate the world.
If they come to know about his existence, Kuroto can't even to begin thinking of what might be the consequences!
Moreover, now he, who has borrowed the chakra from the Giant Tenseigan knows better than anyone, just how powerful giant Tenseigan is!
It wouldn't be wrong to say that it is undoubtedly a supreme treasure that belongs to the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon!
Even Kuroto with the Tenseigan only barely managed to resonate with its Chakra in a near-death state, while those Otsutsuki descendants can freely use it as per their wish.
From just this alone it can be seen, that the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon has a much higher authority than the Hyuga Clan.
And if they come after him, what Kuroto would have to face will be the onslaught from the Giant Tenseigan which is thousands of times superior to him in terms of both the quality as well as quantity of chakra.
The result isn't that hard to figure out!
Honestly, Kuroto even thinks that he is quite lucky.
Fortunately, his Tenseigan went into temporary dormancy due to Chakra exhaustion bringing back the Byakugan. Otherwise, he would have had no method to avoid giant Tenseigan's search.
…
On the Moon.
"… Cough…!"
After a short cough Elder 1 resealed the giant Tenseigan and shook his head negatively.
When Elder 2 saw this, his brows tightened, "Still nothing?"
Elder 1 calmed down his coughs, then said slowly, "Apart from the Forbidden Spots, there is no other abnormality in the Shinobi World!"
The last descendants of Otsutsuki have desired to destroy the Shinobi world long since.
It's just that, using Giant Tenseigan's regular explorations of the Shinobi World, they have found several places where the light of the Tenseigan is unable to reach, therefore the Otsutsuki have close to no information about these places, and termed them collectively as 'Forbidden Spots'!
Some of these 'Forbidden Spots' are densely filled by Natural Energy., some are occupied by weird extraterritorial forces, while the others have been contaminated with evil energy.
Due to these reasons, the Otsutsuki's have hesitated to make a move up to now.
Now there aren't many people left on the moon, except for the 3 elders, there is only a 3-year-old child named Toneri and his father left.
Their current power is not enough to smoothly destroy the entire Shinobi World, so no matter how radical they may be, the elders can only endure and choose to wait for the right opportunity, or wait for Toneri to grow up and fulfil Hamura's wish.
Elder 3 asked at this moment, "What about the Gedo Statue? Is there any finding of it?"
Elder 3 asked this because they did manage to briefly sense the 'Gedo Statue' a few years ago, but before they could use the Tenseigan to search, the induction disappeared, so the Elders could only stay disappointed for not being able to find its exact location.
Elder 1 again shook his head at Elder 3's question.
Elder 2, who is the most radical of all stood up from the futon: "Are we just going to watch and do nothing?"
Elder 3 calmly said, "We have grown too old and don't have enough strength to fulfil Hamura's last wish. Let Toneri take this important task. He is the most gifted child the Otsutsuki has ever witnessed, if it is him, he would definitely be able to fulfil it!"
Elder 1 tentatively suggested, "We may be able to seek help from the Hyuga Clan, after all, they also have the same blood as us!"
Elder 2 snorted coldly, "Hyuga? No! They are fallen people, they are unworthy, and their fate will be the same as the rest of the Shinobi world, they are part of the failed world created by the Sage of the Six Paths, so they too have to perish along with it!"
Elder 3 thought of suggesting that if all of the people were exterminated, then the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon which is already close to extinction wouldn't escape this fate as well, but seeing the decisive look of Elder 2, he chooses to sigh and let go.
In the final analysis, all three of them share the same thought that the Hyuga Clan is really unworthy of being compared to the Otsutsuki Clan on the Moon…

Chapter 71: Chapter – 69 Caged Bird.
At the border of Land of Earth and Land of Grass.
Sandaime Tsuchikage, Onoki looked at the information on the piece of paper in his hands and said: "So, the commander from Konoha facing us is Shimura Danzo?"
The Jonin commander standing by Tsuchikage-Sama's side replied, "Yes Tsuchikage-Sama, according to the information collected by the intelligence team Shimura Danzo is commanding the Konoha front!"
Rock Village suddenly assembled its army at the Border of Land of Grass, so Konoha had to take some countermeasures.
Shimura Danzo of the Konoha Council was assigned by Sandaime Hokage to guard the front line against the Rock Village.
Utatane Koharu was responsible to go to Sand Village in person to discuss alliance matters.
While Mitokado Homura had to go to the coastline on the east of the Land of Fire to prevent raids from the Mist Village.
Such pieces of information are difficult to conceal, so the Rock Village intelligence department easily intercepted them.
After pondering a little, Tsuchikage asked, "What about the Hokage himself?"
Jonin leader shook his head, "There is no accurate information yet, but most likely opinion states that he is still sitting in the Konoha Village."
"Heh… Hokage is really calm about the situation!" Tsuchikage smiled mockingly, then as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked: "By the way, is there any news about the shinobi responsible for killing Iwamoto and his team?"
As the captain of one of the remaining few Beheading Units in the Rock Village, Iwamoto was an elite Jonin of the Rock Village. So, his death undoubtedly made Tsuchikage very angry and annoyed.
"According to the intelligence sent by the spies planted within the Land of Demons, it was Team-11 of the Konoha Anbu Black Ops, that killed Iwamoto and his team."
Tsuchikage frowned hearing this, "Konoha's Anbu?"
No matter which village, the identity of the Anbu is highly confidential and in some cases only known to the Kage himself, so finding out more detailed information about this Team-11 wouldn't be an easy task, even for Rock Village.
"Did this Team-11 make an appearance on any of the battlefield yet?" – Tsuchikage asked while holding his chin.
The Jonin browsed through all the documents and pieces of intelligence at his hands and replied: "No Tsuchkage-Sama!"
The battle between the Konoha and Cloud Village naturally attracted the attention of all the Shinobi Villages, and among them, Rock village undoubtedly placed special attention on that front to have all the first-hand information.
Therefore, at the beginning when the intelligence about the sudden raids from the Cloud Village was known Rock Village dispatched a large number of ninjas proficient in sneaking and information gathering into the Land of Fire, to receive the intelligence on any changes in the war situation on that front at the latest.
In the battle of intelligence gathering, Konoha undoubtedly suffered a big loss this time.
Several lines of defense at the border was so easily breached by the secret raid of the Cloud Shinobi, again leading to the loss of both material and personnel.
Tsuchikage-Sama is of course very happy seeing Konoha suffer: "If Cloud keeps up with this speed, they should be able to attack Konoha Village within a few weeks."
This battle completely exposed Konoha's current state, every village was able to see that Konoha Village is no longer the invincible existence that overwhelms the entire ninja world singlehandedly.
However, the Jonin leader on the side wasn't as optimistic as Tsuchikage-Sama, he shook his head negatively and said, "I am afraid it wouldn't be that easy Tsuchikage-Sama! After the Toad Sanin Jiraiya arrived at the Cloud Front, Konoha's situation is much better, making Cloud Village's offensive temporarily contained."
So, far no one has any idea as to why Jiraiya arrived at the battlefield a whole week late than expected, but his arrival did slow down Cloud's offensive.
Tsuchikage pondered a little, and said, "Konoha's reaction is a bit strange this time. Hokage should know that the combat power on the battlefield is insufficient, but there are no signs of the Uchiha Clan participating like in the 3rd Shinobi War.
Then there is no trace of this seemingly strong Team-11 of the Anbu Black Ops.
Moreover, Jiraiya arrived later at the War.
Hokage himself is still sitting in the village.
I have a feeling that there is something more to it than meets the eye, arrange some ninjas to check this out, I want to know why is this the case!"
"Yes Tsuchikage-Sama, I will arrange it!"
…
Land of Fire, Cloud Camp.
After receiving the news from the rear, Yugito Nii and Cloud Head Ninja looked at each other in confusion.
The content of the message only has few words: 'Pause the Attack!'
Killer bee raised his head and asked the two who were looking at each other in confusion: "Well, why did brother A send such an order?"
The Head ninja shook his head in confusion, "This is simply incomprehensible, we have already destroyed Konoha's frontal defense. If we stop now then the previous efforts would all be in vain!"
Yugito Nii suggested, "Could it be that something happened at the village?"
Both Killer Bee and Head ninja agreed to Yugito Nii's suggestion, otherwise, there is no reason for Raikage-Sama to send such absurd orders.
Well what choice do they have, Raikage-Sama ordered, they have to follow through!
So, the offensive from the Clou Village's end temporarily stopped.
…
Land of Fire, Konoha Camp facing Cloud Offense.
Nara Shikaku walked into the head tent and quickly said: "The opposite side seems to have stopped attacking!"
Standing on the side, Hyuga Hizashi frowned at Nara Shikaku's words and asked, "They are obviously on the dominating side, why did they suddenly stop?"
Jiraiya who was sitting at the center knew the most possible reason, so he said at this time: "Most likely old man's strategy worked."
Having said that he briefly explained, that Hokage-sama gave orders to the Anbu Black Ops to destroy the secret warehouse of the Cloud Village at the border of the Land of Lightning to slow down the Cloud offensive.
Everyone who heard about this information, couldn't help but sigh.
This kind of mission of sneaking into the enemy's territory involves too much risk even if it is some small Shinobi village, not to mention Cloud Village being one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
For someone to have completed this task is way beyond expectations, but everybody was extremely grateful to them.
At least now the Konoha side has a temporary breathing period.
…
Land of Hot Water.
Kuroto who was freshening up by the lake; untied the black-goggle that Yue gave him.
The clear water in the lake reflected the Byakugan in his eye sockets
Looking at his reflection in the lake intently, Kuroto found that his Dojutsus were indeed Byakugan, although their purity has increased slightly, they are the Byakugan no doubt about that.
After repeated confirmation, Kuroto closed his eyes and injected Chakra into them, after doing this for a few seconds, he reopened them.
This time his eyes flashed with the royal blue light; the floral pattern formed by the white irises looked like a beautiful star in the night sky.
As soon as he opened them, Kuroto's field of vision became clearer, he could even perceive the linings on the bark of a small tree far away.
"Thank goodness, the Tenseigan was only dormant, not lost!"
Kuroto chuckled and breathed a sigh of relief.
He finally learned the method to be able to activate and deactivate the Tenseigan. After several more attempts to check for any signs of abnormality, Kuroto was sure that his Tenseigan can be closed just like the Uchiha.
In the normal state, he can use the Byakugan similar to Sharingan, and at a further stage, he can activate the Tenseigan similar to Mangekyou.
But that wasn't it, Kuroto checked several times and was surprised to find that as soon as he deactivates the Tenseigan, the Curse seal on his forehead activates.
This discovery really made him interested in the 'Cage Bird'. This curse seal is obviously not simple as it may seem, the secrets hidden within it are much deeper than one would expect.
Suddenly, Kuroto found that this Curse seal seems to be of great research value…
