Chapter 110: Chapter – 108 False World
Arriving at his home, Kuroto breathed a sigh of relief after noticing that the Shadow Clone left by Shisui was still there.
The Shadow Clone also noticed Kuroto's arrival and quickly greeted him, "Kuroto-San, you are finally back!"
Nodding in response, Kuroto spoke with a smile, "Thank you for the hard work Shisui!"
While Kuroto put some stuff aside, Shisui's Shadow Clone took out a hand note and passed it to Kuroto while explaining, "This is a list of the people that visited you while you were away Kuroto-San, I have recorded their names by the order of their visit."
Shaking his head helplessly, Kuroto reached out his left hand and took the note while saying, "Ah… thanks for the extra hard work I guess!"
As Kuroto read the list while holding it in his left hand, Shisui's clone noticed that Kuroto-San's right hand was bandaged, so he asked with a slightly worried tone, "Kuroto-San, your right hand?"
Kuroto didn't mind Shisui's question and replied casually while still looking at the list, "Oh this? There was just a small accident, nothing major to get worked up about, it should back to normal functioning in less than a week."
Most of the Natural Energy accumulated in his right hand has already been cleared because of continuous Tenseigan Chakra circulation that Kuroto carried out in the past few days.
Initially, his entire right hand up to the shoulder was petrified, but now most of the petrification has fallen and there is only slight skin hardening left that restricts his hand movement.
Therefore, according to Kuroto's estimates, his hands should be back to full working condition within three to five days.
Soon Kuroto read the list of visitors recorded by Shisui's clone.
In the twenty days that Kuroto was out of the village, the one to visit most frequently was obviously his fiancé Hyuga Yui, then there were Kakashi and Guy who are also part of the same Team-11, and finally, there were some other Hyuga people that visited him these days.
Obviously, all of them were turned away by Shisui's Clone, under the pretext of learning a Jutsu in isolation, even Yui was turned away, Kuroto smiled helplessly while wondering how he will make it up to her.
Anyway, that aside, based on this information and other things, Kuroto judged that no one other than Shisui was aware or noticed his absence in Konoha, which is a good thing.
After some more small talk, Shisui's Shadow Clone said goodbye and disappeared with a puff of smoke.
At this time, Kuroto unwrapped his right hand that was bandaged carefully, and started to silently circulate the Tenseigan Chakra Mode around his right hand to wash out the Natural Energy.
Although he was pretty casual about it but with the movement of his right hand being restricted, Kuroto's combat effectiveness has dropped significantly.
The most important point is that he can't use his right hand to print hand seals in this state, so until his hand recovers completely, Kuroto can't even enter into the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, as that also require hand seals!
Not only that, but he also can't use other ninjutsu or Fuinjutsu, and his taijutsu will obviously be limited.
Therefore, putting every other thing aside, his top priority is to restore his right hand into the best working condition as soon as possible.
Knock… knock… knock…
Before long there was a sudden knock at the gate of his house.
While sitting in the drawing-room to continue the chakra circulation, Kuroto glanced towards the gate with the Tenseigan and noticed that it was none other than Shisui who arrived here.
After simply covering his hand with a wet cloth, Kuroto opened the door and led Shisui inside while asking, "Looking at you, you seem to be in a panic Shisui!"
Shisui said while still catching his breath because of rushing here hurriedly, "Kuroto-San, someth-something happened!"
Kuroto wasn't surprised by Shisui's answer because while sneaking inside, he felt that there was something wrong with the Village's atmosphere, and looking at Shisui's serious expression his guess was only confirmed, "Alright, come in and explain everything that happened while I was away."
As soon as both were seated, Shisui immediately informed him of Uchiha Kurumi's death at the hands of a Root ninja, then the Root ninja's subsequent explanation as well as his personal guesses on the entire situation.
After listening to Shisui's explanation, Kuroto muttered to himself, "Why is this Uchiha Shinichi involved again?"
Even about 20 days ago when Kuroto was about to sneak out of the village, Shisui mentioned to him that the Root ninja responsible for monitoring Shinichi; strangely went missing, which caused some tension between Uchiha Clan and the Village.
And now after 20 days, as soon as he sneaked back into the village, there is another matter involving Uchiha Shinichi that has escalated the conflict between the Uchiha Clan and the Village to a more serious degree.
This series of events made Kuroto pay more attention to Uchiha Shinichi.
Although never mentioned in the original series, Uchiha Shinichi is around the same age as Kuroto, even if his strength is not among the best within the Uchiha Clan at this stage; but the fact that he has already awakened the three tomoe Sharingan for quite some time so his talent is also quite evident considering his young age.
After all, If that were not the case, then how come; the proud and arrogant Uchiha Clan send him to confront Hyuga Kuroto?
And now that he thinks about it, Uchiha Shinichi's personality is also quite straightforward, and straightforward people are the best high-class mob class chess pieces to have.
With all that clear, Kuroto muttered to himself, "Could it be possible that Obito has set his sight on Uchiha Shinichi?"
He thinks this because Shinichi shouldn't be the type of person to kill the girl he loved, Kuroto can be sure of this.
And since, Obito often played around Konoha and even sneaked into the Uchiha Clan's Naka Shrine several times, so Kuroto can't rule out the possibility that this is all Obito's handiwork.
'But how come; that idiot decided to act now? Shouldn't he be making his moves for Itachi a few years later? Or is it the legendary butterfly effect that's caused because of my presence? – thought Kuroto.
Kuroto can't even be sure about it, because even if there wasn't any mention of such a thing happening in the original story, it doesn't mean that it didn't happen, so Kuroto is a little confused.
And there is also the fact the current Konoha is quite different than it should have been, the most important point is the time of defection of his teacher Orochimaru and the changes following that!
Kuroto has still not figured out the real reason for his teacher's early defection!
Putting aside the thought about a certain Snake, Kuroto focused on the matter at hand and asked Shisui, "So, where is Shinichi now?"
Shisui didn't expect Kuroto-San to ask this suddenly, but even if he was surprised, Shisui quickly answered, "He was temporarily locked inside a prison room by Patriarch's order to let him stay there until the situation is resolved and his emotions calm down."
After nodding a little, Kuroto asked again, "Has there been any significant improvement in his Pupil Power? I mean did you notice it?"
"Yes, he was even able to break through a genjutsu that I cast upon him, which surprised me completely!" – Shisui nodded while recalling the scene where Shinichi easily broke through a genjutsu that Shisui cast upon Shinichi.
As soon as he heard Shisui say this, Kuroto flicked Shisui's forehead and chided him a little, "Haven't I already told you to not get overconfident of your genjutsu skills? This time you got lucky that it was a person who didn't have any hatred or bad intention towards you, otherwise, you will suffer!"
While rubbing the spot that was a little itchy due to Kuroto-San's flick, Shisui smiled lightly.
"Still not taking me seriously, are you?" – Kuroto spoke helplessly noticing Shisui's naughty smile. After sighing lightly, he removed the cloth covering his right hand and showed it to Shisui, "Look incidents such as these happen with even a bit of carelessness!"
Looking at Kuroto-San's hand, Shisui gulped nervously and finally nodded repeatedly and promised, "Okay-okay, I'll be careful from now on!"
"It's good that you understand, anyway putting that aside." Nodding at Shisui's response, Kuroto asked while going back to the topic, "Why do you think that the person hiding in the shadows used the Root ninja to kill Uchiha Kurumi, and also let Shinichi witness the scene?"
After a little bit of thinking, Shisui replied while looking away from Kuroto-San's right hand, "He wants to provoke conflict between the Uchiha and the Village?"
Shaking his head helplessly, Kuroto replied with a smile, "That's half of the intentions, I suppose!"
"Only half? Then what is the other part?" – Shisui asked in confusion.
"Yeah, this reminds me of a similar incident, a Bad Routine!" – muttered Kuroto.
Why is this a bad routine?
Because so many people use them!
But why do many people use them?
Because the freaking thing always works!
"The Routine?" – But Shisui was confused as he didn't understand what in the Sam Hill was Kuroto-San talking about!
Without any intention of explaining, Kuroto said, "Come on, take me to meet him, I would like to have a talk with him!"
…
Konoha Police Office, Shinichi's Prison Room.
A spiraling vortex appeared in the gloomy confinement cell, and our very own masked-man walked out of it leisurely.
Uchiha Shinichi who was sitting in the corner while covering his head and busy in some thoughts didn't notice the arrival of the masked man.
Chuckling comically while looking at Shinichi's depressed look, he spoke in a deep voice, "Hey there, I heard about all things that happened with you, and I figured I should pay you a visit, and now I am looking at your gloomy state, so I can't help but speak. Do you want some help?"
Upon hearing the voice of the person who left a deep impression on him, Shinichi stood up slowly and asked while turning his eyes to look at the masked-man, "It was you, wasn't it!?"
As soon as he spoke this sentence, the three tomoe rapidly spinning in his Sharingan finally merged together and changed into a strange pattern.
The masked-man was surprised at the sudden change and spoke with a chuckle, "Since you have awakened those eyes, then it's time for you to see through the truth of this false world!"

Chapter 111: Chapter – 109 Naka Shrine
While wearing a simple Yukata and keeping his right hand in the side pocket, Kuroto was casually walking down the streets as if he was on a casual shopping trip.
Following behind him was Shisui, who tried his best to not let the depression get on his face.
Midway down to their destination, Shisui couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Kuroto-San, why do you want to meet Shinichi?"
Shaking his head lightly Kuroto murmured only for Shisui to hear, "Not something troublesome, just to check his status!"
"Status!?" Shisui repeated the word in more confusion and asked with a little doubt, "What status?"
But instead of giving much of an explanation, Kuroto diverted the topic as he whispered softly, "Listen Shisui; when we get there and if I say to someone, 'So it's you' then you will immediately use Kotoamatsukami on that person, don't hesitate for even a single second and use all your pupil power on him, understand?"
Shisui was a little surprised when he heard this, "But Kuroto-San, Kotoamatsukami is a forbidden technique that can modify a person's will, how can I use it so casually?"
Glancing slightly at Shisui, Kuroto shook his head and sighed helplessly, "If you haven't even considered using Kotoamatsukami in battle, then why did you even bother talking about it to others?"
Shisui was silent hearing Kuroto-San's words.
No longer bothering to play anymore, Kuroto bluntly said, "I suspect that Uchiha Shinichi may have been in contact with the person who is pulling all the strings from the shadows, therefore, we can't rule out the possibility that we may encounter that person when we are visiting Shinichi!"
For Obito who has access to 'Kamui', Konoha Village is just like his personal back garden, he can come and go freely whenever he wants, wherever he wants, and however, he wants!
So, if Uchiha Shinichi was really being targeted by Obito, then it's not impossible for Kuroto and Shisui to bump into him when they are going to check Shinichi's status, and Kuroto can be sure that Obito shouldn't be aware of Shisui's Kotoamatsukami at this point in the timeline, so if this plan really worked then most of the problems will be solved instantly!
Listening to Kuroto-San, Shisui smiled disapprovingly, "You are kidding, right Kuroto-San? Shinichi is locked in the prison cell of Konoha Military Police Office, how can the person hiding in the shadows come there?"
From Shisui's perspective, the security of the Konoha Military Police office is second only to that of the Hokage Office. So, no matter how strong the man-behind-the-scenes maybe, it's impossible for him to sneak into Shinichi's prison cell silently without alerting any of the Uchiha ninjas presents there!
Kuroto didn't try explaining, and said directly, "Of course, I am saying for 'just in case', if by some chance we do encounter him, make sure to not hesitate at all, and also don't make any tentative attacks, directly use Kotoamatsukami and solve the biggest problem once and for all. Make sure to use all the strength in that one attempt, because the other party is more than likely to have Mangekyou, so if you don't go all out, you might not be able to control him!"
Although Shisui was still not very sure; he nodded nonetheless.
If what Kuroto-San is saying is really true then it might just be the best option!
With that decided, both of them continued traveling towards the Konoha Military Police Office.
…
Konoha Military Police Office, Shinichi's Prison Cell.
"The truth of this False World…?" – Shinichi muttered the masked man's words with confusion clearly visible in his eyes.
By now he has already realized that he has awakened the dojutsu above three tomoe Sharingan, but awakening Mangekyou didn't please him in the slightest.
On the contrary, Shinichi fell into self-blame, guilt, and loneliness.
Because after he was put into the prison cell, Shinichi realized with hindsight that the person to be actually responsible for Kurumi's death is he, neither was it the Root ninja, nor is it the masked-man, but he, Uchiha Shinichi!
If not for him then Kurumi wouldn't have become a target of their play in the first place.
So, the root problem is he!
Uchiha Shinichi is the one who caused Kurumi's death!
And this was the moment he finally awakened those cursed eyes!
After a long silence, Shinichi said with his fist clenched, "I don't know about this False World or whatever you are speaking and I guess I should be grateful to you for letting me clearly see the true face of this Village and the Clan, but all that aside, you'll still have to die for manipulating that Root ninja to kill Kurumi!"
The masked ignored Uchiha Shinichi's last words and said while crossing his hands over his chest, "Go to Naka Shrine, there you will learn the truth on the stone tablet in the secret room!"
Leaving these words, the masked-man didn't give Shinichi any other opportunity and directly vanished into the spiraling vortex.
Obviously, Masked-man doesn't know what kind of technique Uchiha Shinichi might have awakened in his Mangekyou, so unless he understands that, the masked-man is not sure to win Shinichi in the shortest time possible, so he didn't want to risk fighting Uchiha Shinichi in the middle of Konoha Village and attract the attention of all parties.
Besides, most of his goal has already been achieved.
The birth of Uchiha Shinichi's Mangekyou that is full of hatred for the Konoha Village and the Uchiha Clan, is more than enough to satisfy him for now, even if the masked-man is unable to bring Shinichi under his command, he has nothing to lose anyway.
So, without paying any mind to Shinichi's words, he simply disappeared.
After the masked-man left, Shinichi glanced at the spot the other party disappeared at with a gloomy expression.
Initially, he thought that with the Mangekyou Sharingan, he might be able to see through the other party's weird Jutsu, but unexpectedly even when the masked-man disappeared right in front of him, Shinichi still couldn't see the slightest of clue on the guy's techniques!
'Just who in the hell is he…?' – thought Shinichi as he deactivated the Mangekyou and sat back at his previous spot.
"The Truth! False World! Naka Shrike…! I guess I'll have to check that out." – murmured Shinichi before returning back to the gloomy silence.
…
Outside Konoha Military Police Office.
When Hyuga Kuroto arrived at the front of the Konoha Military Police Office, he was subject to both hostile and curious attention of the Uchiha Clansmen working around!
Noticing that everyone directed their attention on Kuroto-San, especially not in a good way, Shisui said with a little awkward expression, "Kuroto-San please don't mind them!"
Kuroto just smiled and said nothing.
Obviously, he was expecting this, his reputation in the village was built up by stepping over the Uchiha through several challenges.
This series of defeating Uchiha's flared up his reputation into one of the strongest of his generation to the extent that his name also became a hot topic during tea conversations throughout the village.
It wasn't just because of his strength but also his identity.
The collision between the shinobi of Konoha's two mightiest Clan has always been an attractive topic of discussion.
And this was also the reason why Shimura Danzo personally came to invite him to join the Root Unit, if not for Kuroto to have stepped over the Uchiha, then even if he became Special Jonin, Danzo might not have paid special interest in personally recruiting him.
Therefore, Kuroto wasn't troubled by all the stares he was getting, rather he was amused, and was wondering about who to step over next time for increasing his reputation further!
While Kuroto was busy musing, Shisui thought of the grudge that Uchiha Shinichi has with Kuroto-San, and he couldn't help but feel a little headache because of it.
To not make the matters worse, Shisui had to warn Kuroto-San in advance, "Kuroto-San, Shinichi may have some enmity with you, so if he says something he shouldn't; please ignore that, with Kurumi's death, his emotional state has been quite unstable lately, so please don't mind his aggressive behavior!"
Kuroto nodded in understanding, "Don't worry, it's not like I am here for that anyway!"
Breathing a sigh of relief at Kuroto-San's understanding, Shisui led Kuroto into the Police Office.
After obtaining permission from the Patriarch Uchiha Fugaku, Shisui, and Kuroto went to the prison cell where Shinichi was being held.
Noticing Uchiha Shinichi sitting in the corner of the dark and gloomy cell, Shisui immediately called the guy, "Shinichi I am here to explain the entire story to you!"
Shinichi raised his head and looked at Shisui with an indifferent expression, then moved his gaze past Shisui and finally landed on Hyuga Kuroto.
Shisui was a little afraid that Shinichi might attack Kuroto-San, so he hurriedly stepped in front of Kuroto-San.
The very reason why Shinichi was going out of the Village to practice was to defeat Kuroto-San, so Shisui was a little worried, how will Shinichi respond to Kuroto-San's presence!
But unexpectedly, Shinichi didn't stare at Kuroto for too long and brought his head back to its previous position. The way he responded to the presence of the two was like he was completely ignoring them.
Noticing Shinichi's behavior, both Kuroto and Shisui glanced at each other with the same expression that stated – "Something's wrong with him!"
