Chapter 83: Chapter – 81 I Don’t Care Anymore!
The essence of Truth-Seeking Balls is the condensation of high-density Chakra into the form of black orbs.
Truth-Seeking Balls encompass the power of all five basic natures as well as yin – yang chakra nature. As such it surpasses any single chakra nature, Kekkai Genkai, as well as Kekkai Tota.
Being able to condense Truth-Seeking Balls is more of a qualitative awakening.
For this reason, a thought suddenly flashed in Kuroto's mind.
'What if I use Truth-Seeking Balls to break through the Seal applied by Yondaime-Sama to seal the Dragon Vein?'
But after a little consideration, Kuroto gave up the idea.
Fuinjutsu is one of the most mysterious and powerful branches of Jutsu, and it can be both weird and unpredictable at times.
There is close to nothing that can't be sealed using Fuinjutsu, whether those big monsters or tailed beasts or the 'Impure World Reincarnations' which are in a half-life and half-death state and the illusionary things like the soul of a person!
Even the Chakra Ancestor 'Otsutsuki Kaguya' isn't immune to Fuinjutsu!
So, what might happen to the seal or the Dragon Vein Chakra setup once it comes into contact with the Truth-Seeking Ball is sort of unpredictable.
Moreover, currently, Kuroto can only summon one Orb, and if he uses this to break through the seal, all his chakra would be empty.
Once the seal breaks and all his chakra empties, Kuroto can only watch the huge Chakra of Dragon vein rush out uncontrollably.
And by then even if he had mastered all the techniques necessary for the artificial tailed beast plan, he wouldn't be able to do anything because of the lack of Chakra.
It would be impossible for him to suppress the Dragon Vein's overflowing Chakra.
Not to mention, if he doesn't successfully steal away the Dragon Vein Chakra in the least amount of time possible, its signature reaction will be picked up by the other ninja villages.
Especially the Sand Shinobi Village that's closest to the Roran!
In this series of events, Kuroto will become a helpless little fish.
And that too when there wouldn't be a time accident because of Dragon Vein, who's to say that it wouldn't send him to a different timeline?
So, using Truth-Seeking Ball will be a big NO-NO!
He can only increase his Fuinjutsu proficiency to break through the seal used by Yondaime-Sama.
While Kuroto reached this conclusion, he suddenly sensed a ninja rushing towards his direction in the forest of Death.
As soon as he sensed this Kuroto released the 'Tenseigan Chakra Mode' and deactivated the Tenseigan.
After a while of waiting, a ninja dressed in an Anbu uniform appeared on a tree branch before Kuroto, and said, "Hokage-Sama has summoned you!"
Kuroto nodded at the Anbu's news and followed him out of the death forest all the way to the Hokage Building.
As soon as he entered the main room of the Hokage Office, he discovered that Sandaime-Sama has summoned all the members of Anbu Team-11; since Kakashi, Guy, and Shisui were already there even before him.
With Kuroto's arrival, Sandaime-Sama put down the tobacco pipe on the side and glanced at the four people of Team-11 with a sharp eye, as he asked, "Did your Team-11 conceal any details about the secret mission in the report handed over?"
Kakashi's expression shrank as soon as he heard Hokage-Sama's words.
His mind was only thinking that Hokage-Sama was most likely referring to the matter of him awakening the Mangekyou, with a feeling of guilt he felt quite nervous and traces of sweat beads started coming off his forehead.
Guy also lowered his head directly, not daring to meet the eye of Hokage-Sama in fear that his expression might reveal something, he also thought that Hokage-Sama was referring to Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan.
The four members of Team-11 have already reached an agreement to not reveal the existence of Kakashi's Mangekyou.
This is because no one can predict what sort of reaction the Uchiha or the Konoha Council might have upon learning that a non-Uchiha awakened Mangekyou, so everyone and that's including Shisui, decided to conceal it. Lest the Uchiha Clan might end up doing something extreme that could intensify the already brewing conflict within the Village after getting such shocking news.
Kuroto was calmer and only brought out a confused look as if the matter was completely unrelated to him.
Shisui was feeling a little awkward but he was calm nonetheless.
The reason for Kuroto and Shisui's calmness was naturally because they knew that Hokage-Sama was most likely referring to those more than three hundred Cloud ninjas that Kuroto wiped out!
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the four totally silent people, without saying any word, so after shaking his head a little he directly brought out the papers describing the details about this incident that Shimura Danzo passed him, and threw it towards the four people, and said solemnly, "Look at it yourself!"
When Kakashi and Guy read the details of the information, they were taken aback, and immediately looked towards Kuroto and Shisui with clear surprise on their faces.
By the end of the battle, Kuroto and Shisui were the only two people that stayed behind to secure Guy and Kakashi's retreat, so this information must be somehow related to either of them, but neither of them mentioned having killed more than three hundred ninjas in the details when they talked about the battle later.
Now that both Kakashi and Guy are learning of things like 'The entire Valley being razed to a flat ground!', 'Hundreds of Ninja buried six feet under the mud and rocks' the shock on their faces can be clearly imagined.
Their reaction also prompted Sarutobi to turn towards the Hyuga and the Uchiha kid.
Kuroto was still calmly flipping through the pages; with an expression that said, 'Don't look at me, it has nothing to do with me!'
Sandaime-Sama was still silent, Kakashi didn't know what to say.
At this time Shisui took a step forward and said, "Hokage-Sama, it was me. To not reveal the existence of having awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, I didn't mention it in the mission report!"
Without waiting for anyone to speak, Shisui continued, "Kuroto-San was unconscious when all that happened, Captain Kakashi was in Coma and Guy-San was severely injured by the time I retreated while carrying unconscious Kuroto-San so the rest of the Team-11 didn't know of this."
Listening to Shisui's explanation Sandaime-Sama nodded.
From Sarutobi Hiruzen's perspective and based on the details of the report he has, if anyone in Team-11 might have the strength to slaughter hundreds of ninjas including several elite Jonin in an overnight, then it can only be Uchiha Shisui who has awakened the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan.
As for Hatake Kakashi, Might Guy, or Hyuga Kuroto?
All three of them are strong and talented for their age, and no doubt they might even be able to do such things in the possible near future, but at this stage, they don't have enough strength to achieve feats that require Kage-Class combat power.
"Since Cat has come forward to clarify this fact, and the matter was indeed a little hard to express, so it will be overlooked this time but make sure to not conceal anything related to the mission details from the next time, is that clear?"
"Yes!" All the four nodded.
"Well moving past that, Team-11 did great this time, the news of your achievements can't be made public because of your identities as the Anbu ninja, but the Council has consensus on rewarding the four of you. An opportunity to learn advanced Jutsu Don't be hasty in making the decision right away, take your time, and come back any time after consideration!"
"Thank you for your kindness Hokage-Sama!" All four responded and left the Hokage Office one-after-another.
After walking out of the Hokage Building, Guy hurriedly asked, "Shisui, did you really kill hundreds of Cloud ninjas alone!?"
Shisui awkwardly glanced at Kuroto from the corner of his eyes while nodded towards Guy.
"Ah… yes Guy-San!"
Without waiting for Guy to continue Kakashi whispered, "Thank you, Shisui!"
Kakashi was also shocked by the information of Shisui awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, but this made him more grateful towards Shisui for keeping his Mangekyou a secret, and he sort of understands why Shisui didn't reveal about that incident.
Shisui humbly shook his head, "It's for the peace of both the Uchiha and Konoha."
Obviously, Shisui is also a little unacceptable of Kakashi awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, even if his pride has been crushed, it is still a little difficult to accept a non-Uchiha awakening the legendary eyes. This is exactly why he understands the possible impact that it could cause once the news of Kakashi's Mangekyou leaks out.
If the Uchiha Clan learns of this news, it is hard to imagine what they might end up doing.
After some more chats, Guy and Kakashi left for training, while Kuroto and Shisui walked towards a secluded place.
Glancing thoughtfully behind him, Kuroto whispered, "Thanks Shisui!"
Shisui sighed lightly, "well… whatever, I don't care anymore..."

Chapter 84: Chapter – 82 Masked-Man’s Move
Looking at Shisui's tired face, Kuroto faintly said, "Don't worry, things will definitely turn for the better in the future."
Shisui nodded, "I hope so Kuroto-San."
The reason why the village is suppressing the Uchiha is also because of their own weakness.
And the initiator of most of the trouble that Konoha faces is Obito hidden in the dark.
Even the condition of Sandaime-Sama can be said to have been exhausted. His strength is rapidly declining because of aging. If the successor he had carefully chosen as the Yondaime Hokage hadn't died accidentally, all these problems wouldn't be there.
But unfortunately, the young and powerful Yondaime-Sama died, and now everything is completely different.
The trouble Konoha is currently facing, including the raid from the Cloud Village from the outside and the Uchiha's dissatisfaction inside the village, are all just the follow-up effects of the death of Yondaime-Sama.
If Yondaime-Sama and Uzumaki Kushina were still alive, Cloud Village wouldn't dare to make a move on Konoha, nor would the Uchiha Clan get restless.
Yondaime-Sama dies, and Konoha was entirely messed up, and the person Obito responsible for the Death of Yondaime-Sama really made the most effective blow on Konoha at the right opportunity and completely broke Konoha's backbone.
Kuroto can only sigh at just how much of a Devil Obito has become.
Taking a light glance behind him, Kuroto said in a low voice, "We are being followed."
Shisui nodded, "Hm, I realized it some time ago."
After pondering a little, Kuroto said, "The person following us should be a Root ninja."
Both Shisui and Kuroto are Anbu ninjas under Hokage. It's the job of Anbu to track and monitor others, no one will dare to target and monitor them, this is because if Hokage-Sama doesn't trust his Anbu ninjas, then those Anbu ninjas will directly be suspended instead of being monitored.
Therefore, only Root ninjas can have the audacity to monitor Anbu ninjas under Shimura Danzo's orders.
Shisui didn't care that they were being monitored, and said calmly, "I am loyal to Konoha and will never do something to harm the interest of the village, so I am not afraid of being under surveillance."
Kuroto shook his head as he said in a little disappointment, "If only it was that simple!"
Shisui asked in confusion, "What do you mean, Kuroto-San?"
"Being under surveillance is a signal of Shimura Danzo's distrust of us, which is not rare, but it also indicates that he isn't afraid to make a move against us!" after a pause Kuroto said with a dark tone, "He can distrust us all he wants, I don't care, but he has to understand that making a move against us isn't a wise choice!"
When Shisui heard Kuroto-San say this he immediately became a little worried. And Shisui's worry wasn't without a reason.
Since the incident at the valley in the Land of Lightning, Shisui has started to believe that the strength Kuroto showed there is his true strength, therefore, in Shisui's view, Kuroto-San is undoubtedly the strongest ninjas in Konoha, even Hokage-Sama or the Sannin Jiraiya wouldn't be able to match Kuroto-San.
"Kuroto-San are you really going to do something to Danzo-Sama?"
Looking at Shisui's look of trepidation, Kuroto sighed, and said, "You don't need to worry too much about it, just make sure to keep whatever I talk with you a secret, can you do that for me?"
Although Shisui was still not satisfied, he nodded nonetheless.
Kuroto is no longer afraid of Danzo and the senior management of Konoha. Basically, only those ninjas who are purely dedicated to the village may be afraid of Danzo, those that have an option of 'Defection,' which Kuroto now does, Danzo's existence only irks him a bit and nothing more.
…
In the Dense Forest outside of Konoha Village.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"
After releasing the Fireball Jutsu, Uchiha Shinichi knelt on the ground panting heavily, but without wasting any time he immediately stood up again and launched Shuriken at the distant target.
Since early morning he has been training arduously, even when soaked with sweat and exhausted completely, he didn't stop and continued to put more effort.
Shinichi has become a laughing stock of the Uchiha Clan ever since he lost to that damn Hyuga Kuroto and had to be carried back by Shisui. Everyone only ridicules him and looks down upon him, even the elders of the Uchiha have started to question his strength.
Because of losing the challenge, Shinichi even lost the recommendation from the Uchiha Clan for the Jonin assessment, as such he lost the opportunity to become a Jonin.
All this has made Shinichi crazy and hateful!
From that day on, he decided to train more and more, push himself harder than anyone and regain his lost reputation, which is why whenever he is free, he would always come to this area to practice and train heavily.
…
On a large tree not far away.
A strange man with a black cloak and swirl mask sat cross-legged on a branch of the tree as he observed Uchiha Shinichi.
After some time of observation, he asked, "So he is the one you found?"
On the side of the trunk, Zetsu whose only half body was exposed nodded, "I can feel the hatred in his heart."
However, the masked-man was not satisfied, "Such low hatred isn't enough!"
Zetsu said helplessly, "He is the only person that best meets your requirement currently.
Most of the ninjas of the Uchiha Clan serve in the Konoha Police Force, so generally, it is very rare for them to leave Konoha.
However, Uchiha Shinichi has been an exception for some time!
In addition to having 3 tomoe Sharingan, his strength is also Jonin class, moreover, he has hatred in his heart, so I immediately informed you about him."
The masked-man nodded after a little consideration, "Zetsu, you wait here, I will see if he can be useful!"
After leaving these words, his body twisted and disappeared inside a whirling spiral.
On the other side, the masked-man appeared behind Shinichi, and spoke in a deep hoarse voice, "Look at you, such a pathetic site you are in!"
Shinichi was shocked by the sudden voice that came from behind him, in reaction he immediately jumped back and turned around only to see a masked individual who looks completely suspicious no matter from where you look at him.
Drawing out his sword, Shinichi asked cautiously, "Who are you !?"
The masked-man laughed mockingly as he said, "It doesn't matter who I am, but I can give you what you want most!"
Shinichi was furious by the roundabout reply of the masked-man and asked in anger, "What do you want?"
Masked-man still said with a grin, "Heh… I don't want anything… I was just passing by…and I saw such a genius kid of the Uchiha Clan training so arduously… this piqued my interest… and after some observation I found you to be quite interesting… so here I am!"
"Well too bad coz' I am not into men!" Shinichi replied in irritation.
"Hahahaha…" Masked-man laughed at Shinichi's joke.
However, this reaction irritated Shinichi.
"You wanna hide behind the mask? Fine! I'll figure out who you are after I kill you!"
"You can try all you want! But you are not capable enough!" The Masked-Man said as he spread his arms open.
Shinichi felt insulted, the masked-man was treating him like he was nothing and this reminded him of that damn Hyuga!
Drawing his sword in anger, Shinichi rushed towards the masked-man!
Seeing that the masked was still stupidly standing with arms open, without making any attempt to dodge the incoming attack, Shinichi had a condescending smirk on his face.
"Go to hell you masked freak!"
But strangely as Shinichi's sword neared the masked-man, it directly passed through his body without any resistance, it was as if the person standing before him was just an elusive figure, not the real body.
"What…?"
Shinichi was both confused and horrified.
Without waiting for Shinichi to recover, the masked-man punched him in the stomach that flew him crashing on a nearby tree.
Getting up from the ground, Shinichi coughed violently,
'That punch hurt like hell, just how much strength he has?' Thought Shinichi as he tried to figure out just what the hell was going on!
Shinichi was now completely alert; he was also confused.
'Why did my attack pass through him?
Is he just an illusion?
No! That can't be it!
If he was just an illusion how did he hit me?
Or is it that it was also a genjutsu?'
Shinichi thought probably that was the case, so he immediately activated his Sharingan and looked around.
At this time, the Masked-man spoke, "Is that the best you have? Heh… I guess I was hasty… looks like I wasted my time!"
Shinichi gritted his teeth and shouted at the insult, "Shut up bastard! I have cracked through your genjutsu attack!"
After saying that, he formed several seals, "Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Instantly a huge fireball engulfed the figure of the masked man.
Boom…
The great fireball didn't stop and burned many trees down to charcoal!
Shinichi observed carefully, seeing no movements from the other side, he thought silently, "Is he dead?"
However, contrary to what he thought, the masked-man suddenly appeared behind him and instantly pressed his shoulder with one hand, dragging him into the spiraling whirl.
Leaving no trace of either of their presence in the surroundings other than the burning trees and a sword…
