Chapter 92: Chapter – 90 Warning and Suspension
Yamada accepted the balance amount along with the seal of approval for the completion of the task and left along with the guide they hired.
During the whole process, in fact, for the entire month, Yamada didn't try to snoop around Kuroto too much.
Being a Jonin, Yamada has long since discovered that 'Mr. Mu' is also a ninja, after all, one can't continue running around the desert for a month, even if the body is strong, the spirit will be exhausted, but 'Mr. Mu' didn't show the slightest sign of fatigue, indicating that he is also a shinobi.
As an experienced ninja from a small shinobi village, Yamada has performed all sorts of missions, that could even be considered too weird if anything, there have even been cases where the task was issued by a ninja of a great shinobi village to assassinate a ninja of the same village.
All this experience has taught him one thing, i.e., the less he knows things unrelated to him, the safer he will be and the longer he will live. Therefore, he didn't bother asking anything from 'Mr. Mu' about his purpose and all.
Kuroto was also very satisfied with Yamada's awareness.
If Yamada had asked about anything or showed any signs of snooping around in search for Kuroto's purpose of finding the Roran survivors, Kuroto would have no choice but to take that ten million bounty reward on his head.
But since Yamada didn't care, Kuroto naturally didn't bother either.
After the grass ninja and the guide left, Kuroto concealed himself behind the sand dunes and observed the Roran survivors.
Not long after, his eyes fell upon a woman with red hair.
The woman appeared to be around 20 years old, holding a baby in her arms with a melancholy expression.
Kuroto was a little uncertain and muttered to himself, "Is she the one?"
In his impression, the last queen of Roran, Sara, was probably four to five years older than Kakashi who was traveling with Minato-Sama at the time. Since Kuroto and Kakashi are of the same age, so Sara should be four to five years older than him. This means her current age should be about twenty years old.
And the age of the woman with red hair holding the baby in her hand appears to be the same. Among all the survivors present here, only she meets the condition, so Kuroto finally concluded that she has to be Sara.
"Finally found her!" – muttered Kuroto.
'With this, another problem for the artificial tail beast project has been solved.' – Kuroto thought with emotion.
Since this task is done, he summoned the Kazekage puppet out of the scroll.
The purpose of Kuroto's trip has been completed.
Of course, he wouldn't be getting in touch with her this time. This is because if something strange happened to the Dragon Vein while he is out of the Village, then there are chances that the suspicion would fall upon him, which is something he doesn't want to deal with just yet.
Kuroto had two objectives in this two-month trip.
The first was to check out the seal technique used by Yondaime-Sama to seal the Dragon Vein.
The second was to confirm the whereabouts of the last Queen of Roran.
Now that both of the objectives have been completed, he only needs to leave the Kazekage puppet behind to keep track of Roran survivors. While he can return back to Konoha and then find an opportunity to secretly sneak out of the village to steal the Dragon Vein silently.
Puff…
Before Kuroto can even do something, the lazy figure of the one-eyed viper appeared on his shoulder.
Kuroto was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the one-eyed viper.
Calming down his heart, he took out the scroll from its mouth to read the psychic communication sent by Orochimaru.
After reading the content of the scroll, he couldn't help but sigh.
"That guy is so persistent!" The information in the scroll is a warning sent by Orochimaru to inform him that Sasori has been able to track his movements in the Land of Wind, and now they will be coming here.
In the search for the whereabouts of the remnants of the Roran Survivors, Kuroto traveled to many places and interacted with all sorts of people. Since Sasori was able to track his movements this could only mean that someone might have been able to see through his disguise and informed Sasori.
But it doesn't matter anymore, he has already completed his objectives so there is no need to stay in the Land of Wind any longer.
Thinking about the warning Orochimaru sent him, Kuroto also took out a scroll and handed it to the One-Eyed Viper.
The content of the scroll records the detailed information of the Anbu members Kuroto collected up to now, this even details about the Anbu ninja that died in the war against the Cloud village.
This was one of the conditions Orochimaru presented to him in exchange for the information of artificial Tailed.
After so long, Kuroto has to obviously give his teacher some information.
Not to mention, Orochimaru's warning this time also saved him from big trouble named Sasori, so Kuroto had to repay the favor.
…
Konoha Village, Hokage Office.
Sandaime-Sama stood by the window to observe the hustle and bustle of the village, Danzo silently sat on the side while tapping his crutches in impatience.
The three members of the Team-11 nervously stood in front of the Hokage's desk; each one's heart beating more vigorously then the other because of the sound of the crutch tapping the ground.
After waiting for little, while the three members read the information they were given, Sandaime turned around and questioned the three members of Team-11, "Have you finished reading the details?"
Kakashi and the other two nodded.
"So, what are your opinions on the matter, would Hyuga Kuroto do such a thing?" – Sandaime questioned.
Guy was the first to answer, "Hokage-Sama, I believe that Kuroto would never kill a ninja of the same village!"
Putting back the report in his hand Kakashi also said, "I also have faith in Kuroto."
In Kakashi's opinion, Kuroto even led back the team to help him, not to mention he opted to stay behind and secure a retreat for him and Guy in the face of hundreds of Cloud Ninja, and he even did so much damage to the cloud village, all for the sake of Konoha.
How can someone so dedicated to Konoha betray the village?
Even if the Root ninja in the report did die in Kuroto's hands, the first attack must have been initiated by the Root ninja, Kuroto himself wouldn't choose to take the initiative.
Different from Guy and Kakashi, Shisui was a little more nervous, because different from the two he has already seen and knows of the Kazekage puppet, therefore he realized that it must have been Kuroto-San who killed the root ninja, and coupled with the tension between Danzo-Sama and Kuroto-San just makes it all the more clear.
But even if Shisui knew of this, he couldn't bring himself to tell this to Hokage-Sama because of the promise he made to Kuroto-San.
So, even if he felt guilty for hiding this, Shisui gritted his teeth and gave the same answer as Kakashi and Guy.
"Humph!" – Danzo snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied with the three.
Sandaime sighed and said, "Even if Hyuga Kuroto didn't kill Kuroshimasu himself, he does bear some responsibility for his death, as such he will be suspended from the Anbu Black Ops!"
"Hokage-Sama, Hyuga Kuroto is a member of my Team-11, if he is responsible, I too am responsible as the captain of the team!" – Kakashi said calmly.
"Your Team-11 concealed a part of the truth last time, this time a member of your team is suspected of assassinating a ninja of the same village. I suggest all the members of the Team-11 be suspended from their positions in the Anbu!" – Danzo said coldly.
Sandaime sighed and stated, "Very well, Team-11 is suspended from their position in the Anbu department."
In Hiruzen's opinion, this suspension will only be for a short while, he didn't want to bother too much with this trivial matter in arguing with Danzo, so in order to appease Danzo who lost a ninja in his Root unit, Sandaime chooses to temporarily suspend Team-11.

Chapter 93: Chapter – 91 Commencing the Project
After the three members of Team-11 left the Hokage office, Danzo stood up and slowly walked towards the Hokage's desk with grim eyes and stated, "Hiruzen, it's time to decide!"
Sandaime shook his head, "The matter has not reached such a point yet!"
"Have you not considered how severe the losses of Konoha would be if they take the initiative?" after a short pause, Danzo urged, "Leave the matter in my hands, and I will make sure the damage is kept minimal."
Taking a puff of smoke, Sandaime stated, "Have you not learned anything from the turmoil of the Mist Village? I will handle the matter of the Uchiha Clan in the future, you don't need to interfere in this anymore."
Even Danzo was left speechless when Sandaime mentioned the turmoil of the Mist Village.
It wouldn't be wrong to say that the Mist Village has completely lost its strength to be considered one of the five great Shinobi Village.
Therefore, no matter how desperate the situation gets, Konoha can't afford to have a tragedy like that with its current troubles.
With a slight hesitation, Danzo said again, "Hiruzen, you can't let Uchiha Shisui stay in the Anbu. His strength has already surpassed what you or I can suppress; if he chooses to side with the Uchiha Clan; you will be in danger."
Sandaime nodded this time.
The reason why Sandaime readily agreed to Danzo's proposal of suspending the entire Team-11 was also because of the fear of Uchiha Shisui's strength.
Because of the story pulled off by Kuroto and Shisui, the Konoha Council now believes that the tragedy of the Valley at the Land of Lightning was Uchiha Shisui's doing and Hyuga Kuroto didn't have any part in that at all.
Therefore, the members of the Konoha Council are more vigilant of Uchiha Shisui. Coupled with his ability, Kotoamatsukami has raised the threat level of Uchiha Shisui even higher in their eyes.
In their beliefs, whether it is Sandaime himself or Danzo, there is no possibility of suppressing Uchiha Shisui in one-to-one combat.
And since the Anbu members under Hokage have the authority to directly enter and exit the Hokage building freely. Therefore, if Uchiha Shisui chooses to side with the Uchiha Clan, then one fatal attack is all it will take to kill Sandaime.
Although Hiruzen believes Shisui wouldn't betray the village, as the Hokage, he can't afford to take such risks.
This is why he had no choice but to suspend the entire Team-11.
…
A week later, before the end of the two months, Kuroto returned to the village.
Upon returning he got to know of the suspension of Team-11 which didn't surprise him much, as the position of Anbu was no longer so important for him.
From the very beginning, Kuroto's purpose of joining the Anbu was to learn some advanced Jutsu, after that he would have naturally resigned from the Anbu department even if Sandaime didn't suspend him.
Now that he has already learned the entire layout of the Hokage Building, the details of security, and most of the information of all the Anbu members, he is confident in sneaking around if necessary.
Even the fact that he served in the Anbu department has been added to his resume. So, continuing any further in the Anbu would only be a restriction for him, which is not something Kuroto wants to be put under.
Although Anbu ninjas have all sorts of privileges, they are also subject to many restrictions.
For example, ordinary ninjas can leave the village after receiving a task at the task center without any restrictions, unless of course, there is some sort of mandatory task assigned by officials.
This is not the case with the Anbu ninja, all the tasks are given under Hokage-Sama's directive, their every movement is under the directive of Hokage-Sama. They must also report anything and everything to Hokage-Sama otherwise the consequences would be similar to that of now. In short, Anbu ninjas are too bound to the village.
And such a thing may not be a problem for ordinary Konoha Shinobi, but it is very troublesome for Kuroto, so the identity of being an Anbu ninja does more harm to him than good.
Therefore, he didn't care about the suspension.
But what confused him a little was why was the entire Team-11 suspended?
Thinking a little, Kuroto guessed that it was probably because of the fear the Konoha Council has because of Shisui's abilities and strength.
Since he guessed the possible cause, Kuroto threw aside this matter altogether.
Konoha will not make any move against the Uchiha Clan until the peace talks with Cloud Village are finished.
So, in this period Kuroto has to focus on the tailed beast project that will help him improve his strength by solving the low Chakra problem.
After all, strength is the most important factor in the shinobi world, if you are as strong as Madara, then no matter what anyone thinks or intends to do, you can single-handedly solve all the issues.
For the next few days, Kuroto spent some normal days along with the rest of the Team-11 in training and sparring sessions, interacted with some of the clansmen of the Hyuga Clan, and also spent private time with Yui, the purpose of this was to let everyone in the village know that he has returned.
Danzo didn't send anyone else to monitor him these days, and Kuroto didn't bother to investigate the possible reasons.
After Kuroto was done with all this, he isolated himself at his house to finally commence the Artificial Tailed Beast Plan.
Now he needs to create the shell or better yet the core of the tailed beast.
The material used for this is Purple Clay, as described in the Scroll given to him by Orochimaru.
Kuroto has already done several experiments previously and the result did indicate that the Purple Clay indeed has a very strong ability to isolate Chakra. It is the perfect material for making the core of the artificial tailed beast.
… Byakugan…
After scanning around his house to confirm that no one was spying on him, Kuroto took out the scroll that stored the Purple Clay, given to him by the Miko-Sama.
Looking at the pile spread in front of him, Kuroto opted to shape the core into a simple circular shell.
Choosing a simple round shape is to make the structure as simpler as possible for better stability.
After all, the artificial tailed beast is nothing more than a chakra battery for him, if he opts to make a fancy appearance like that of Ichibi or Kyuubi, there is a probability that the stability of the structure would decrease.
With this in his mind, Kuroto started to mold the Purple Clay as per the procedure recorded in the scroll.
One thing to note is that the molding has to be completed without a break, i.e., Kuroto has to complete it overnight, neither can he pause midway nor are any mistakes allowed.
Even the slightest of flaws will affect the stability of the structure, which might directly burst the core while filling in the chakra of the Dragon Vein in it.
For this reason, Kuroto directly activated the Tenseigan, and using the insight of the Tenseigan, he continued with the task.
He has to control the chakra extremely meticulously to avoid any after issues.
…
'It's accurate to say that when you do something with full dedication and focus, the passage of time only become faster'
By the time he was finished molding the shell, there was already dawn outside.
With a slight yawn, Kuroto looked at the time, as he deactivated the Tenseigan.
Spending the whole night in the molding process, and because of continuous Chakra consumption, Kuroto was really tired now.
After sealing the core of the artificial tailed beast that he molded in a scroll, Kuroto got up and stretched his waist to refresh himself while looking at the rising sun of the morning sky…
