Chapter 120: Chapter – 117 Am I That Unworthy?
Root Base.
After robbing the secret storeroom, Kuroto and Obito both again faced each other.
Their previous fight was although short, still made both of them understand that neither of them could kill the other party in a short amount of time.
Now that they don't have much time in their hands, as the Anbu ninjas may arrive here at any time, then it would be troublesome, and once such a golden opportunity is missed then it wouldn't be easy for the next one to arrive.
With that understood, Obito asked in a deep voice, "You should know that there is more than just one storeroom here, so how about we continue our truce and continue the work we were doing?"
Kuroto nodded in agreement, "As long as you don't interfere with me, we can continue!"
Both of them are cunning since they understand that fighting each other will be fruitless, so it is better to work in a truce and act separately to continue robbing the old coot Danzo rather than hindering each other and go back empty-handed.
After reaching a consensus, Obito nodded and distorted into the spiraling whirl.
Observing the entire process with his Tenseigan Kuroto couldn't help but mutter in wonder, "Kamui is indeed both convenient and weird. And it's truly amazing to even be able to break through Truth-Seeking Balls!"
From this alone, the true power of the Kamui can be determined, and it's perfectly unreasonable.
At the same time, it also shows that Truth-Seeking Balls cannot defend against spatial shredding.
Thinking upon just how much of a cheat various abilities of the Sharingan can be, Kuroto couldn't help but sigh…
Putting away his thoughts, Kuroto also disappeared with a flicker and rushed towards the other secret storeroom to continue robbing Danzo.
Obviously, it's not the right time to care about the true power of Kamui, if he doesn't take advantage of the opportunity that Uchiha Shinichi presented him with, then his plan to build a new laboratory would take a lot of time, and Kuroto can't have that.
Quickly traveling through various underground passages, Kuroto stopped at a corner.
Using the X-Ray vision of the Byakugan, he observed through the wall only to find a large laboratory past the wall.
And from the looks of it, the laboratory specializes in live; in-vivo, and in-vitro experimentation.
And strangely enough, neither was there any test subjects in any of the incubators; nor any researcher or other staff, and from the condition of all the equipment, either the laboratory was newly designed or that there was a temporary pause in its operating.
Kuroto sneaked into this lab past the seal at the gate after repeatedly confirming that there was no presence of any enemy in the surroundings.
As soon as he arrived inside the lab, there was a visible sparkle in his eyes while greedily looking at all the things with literal saliva dripping from his mouth.
'This is a large Cell Incubator!'
Moving past that, he came to a row of MicroArray.
'I have never seen this type of Nutrient shells, is it newly developed?'
Stroking the glass cover of nutrient shells, Kuroto walked towards the test bench and his eyes fell upon a microscope.
'Holy Shit! Orochimaru only had one of such a high-power microscope!'
With just a short walk around, Kuroto roughly understood the level of this laboratory.
If by standards, the laboratory left to him by Orochimaru was Level: 1, then this lab can easily be graded as Level: 5.
Kuroto isn't even sure what many of the devices here are used for!
This shows just how high-end and advanced this laboratory is.
'If I can have such a lab…'
Suddenly such a thought ignited, but suddenly Kuroto realized that he doesn't have enough Storage Scrolls with him.
The amount of space in each storage scroll is limited, and especially when you are sealing delicate equipment space has to be reserved accordingly to avoid any damage.
Therefore, Kuroto wouldn't be able to store and carry away much of the equipment.
'If only I had Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan!'
But unfortunately, that's not possible for now, so Kuroto was now fishing in troubled waters, initially, he thought that the storage scrolls he brought with him should be enough, but now he clearly can't do that.
At this moment Kuroto was a little jealous of Obito, who could just transfer these all inside the Kamui Space!
'Damn, I underestimated Danzo's background!'
While slandering the old coot in his heart, Kuroto started to choose the equipment. Since he can't steal everything, then it's better to choose the most advanced and valuable ones…
…
In a Dense Forest Outside Konoha.
Boom… Boom… Boom…
The wind waves generated by the explosions sent everything flying around.
Kakashi flickered backward and paid close attention to Uchiha Shinichi's movements with his Sharingan.
Through this period of observation, Kakashi found that Uchiha Shinichi is not only very strong in Genjutsu but also a master of Taijutsu, Shurikenjutsu, Kenjutsu, as well as Ninjutsu, his Kenjutsu is especially profound!
Ding… Ding… Ding…
While deflecting some of the shurikens that were shot at him easily, Shinichi sneered coldly, "Your shuriken and kunai feel like a child's throw to me, are you guys even serious?"
The five Anbu ninja ignored Shinichi's ridicule while panting in silence.
This series of fierce attacks consumed most of their Chakra and seeing that it didn't bring any result made all of them feel frustrated.
There was not even a scratch on Uchiha Shinichi's body!
An Anbu noticed that the morale of the team was dropping so he shouted in encouragement, "Don't worry, as long as we hold him back, more reinforcements will soon be coming from the Village!"
"Hahaha… Hold Me? That's a nice one, I didn't know that Anbu ninjas are taught to be a comedian, but still, I gotta say you really are funny, do they teach you to kill the enemy by making them die of laughter?" – Mocked Shinichi as if he heard the funniest joke.
After a light chuckle, he continued with a cold tone, "You all think you can decide that?"
Followed by his voice, a dark green Chakra phantom started taking form around Shinichi and slowly it turned into a half skeletal figure.
No doubt, it's the first stage Susanoo!
"You people don't understand just how scary can the Mangekyou Sharingan be! But you all don't have to worry, why? Because I'll teach you all before sending you all to meet these two!"
As Shinichi's voice fell, the roar of the Susanoo resounded in the forest.
With just a wave of his Susanoo's single all five of the Anbu ninjas were swept away!
"W-what is that…?" – Kakashi who was silently observing Shinichi was shocked.
After knocking away the five Anbu ninjas, Shinichi didn't go after them but simply glanced towards Kakashi.
Facing the gaze of the Demonic figure, even Kakashi can't help but feel the cold sweat simply because of the heavy and cold chakra pressure.
Smirking towards Kakashi who couldn't even move due to shock, Shinichi roared, "Hatake Kakashi, die you bastard!"
'This kind of Power is not something that ordinary ninjas can resist, if all the members of Team-11 are here, then there might even be a chance of a victory, but with me alone, it's completely impossible to defeat him!" – The panic of being in the presence of a monster was building up within Kakashi.
Initially, Kakashi thought that with the Mangekyou Sharingan in his left eye, he would somehow be able to resist and subdue Uchiha Shinichi but now he understands that he was thinking too much.
At this moment, Uchiha Shinichi who roared towards Kakashi frowned suddenly.
Then without waiting for Kakashi to react, he releases the Susanoo, and without saying anything, just turned and left in quite a hurry all while completely ignoring Kakashi's presence.
His action seemed like he had more important things to do than just killing Kakashi.
Kakashi who was preparing himself to fight to the death was stunned on the spot and could only flap his lips like a fish in awkwardness.
"What happened? He clearly had the upper-hand and could have easily killed me, so why go away? Is it that I am unworthy for him to even bother about killing me?"

Chapter 121: Chapter – 118 Drawing Shisui
'There are definitely no signs of any injury on his body…'
'Neither is there any weirdness in his Chakra Flow, and he also has a large volume of Chakra left…"
'Then why? What made him leave the battlefield so suddenly…?'
Watching Uchiha Shinichi leave, Kakashi didn't rush to pursue him but tried to analyze the reason for Shinichi's retreat.
Analyzing and Evaluating the opponent's ability and strength are some of the qualities that every good shinobi must-have.
Being White Fang's son, Yellow Flash's disciple, the baptism he received in the third shinobi great war, coupled with the teachings of the Anbu department, and finally his personal experience as a shinobi, that adding with his incredible talent makes Kakashi one of the best battlefields analyzer.
Therefore, the reason why he didn't chase after Shinichi is not that he is afraid of death.
He didn't chase after Shinichi, because Kakashi understood that even with his Chidori he wouldn't be able to break through the defense of the dark green chakra phantom.
Therefore, it is better to stay alive and pass on the information about Shinichi's ability to the village rather than dying a meaningless death.
Once accurate information is passed back, then using that information as a basis a more targeted team can be organized to increase the success rate of hunting Shinichi.
Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh…
While Kakashi was considering these things, few figures flickered at his sides one-by-one.
The leader of this group was none other than the leader of Root Unit, Shimura Danzo.
Accompanying him were the patriarchs of the Ino-Shika-Cho clans, as well many other elites' ninjas including Hyuga Hizashi as well as other elite chunin and Jonin.
Scanning the entire battlefield coldly, Danzo's already gloomy expression only became gloomier.
At this time; the entire battlefield was already in a mess with burning forest on one side, muddy ground on the other, the trees on the left were embedded, broken, or pierced with Kunai, Shuriken, and Senbon, while the right side was a straight-up empty because of the Susanoo's attacks.
All the Anbu ninjas were either dead or severely injured, and only one non-Uchiha Anbu with a Sharingan seemed to be okay.
The situation here clearly dictated the tale of a tragic failure of the hunting operation organized by Sandaime.
Kakashi who was wearing his Dog Anbu Mask respectfully greeted Danzo and spoke with a guilty expression, "Please forgive us Danzo-Sama, we weren't able to suppress Uchiha Shinichi"
Danzo stared at Dog-Masked Anbu with a cold expression and muttered in a gloomy voice, "Which way did he go?"
Dog pointed in the direction Shinichi escaped and continued, "Danzo-Sama, it wouldn't be a good idea without targeted planning, Uchiha Shinichi's Mangekyou ability is quite strange, I think-…"
However, before Dog could finish speaking, Shimura Danzo ignored him and disappeared in the direction Shinichi left.
Being ignored by him, Kakashi could only sigh helplessly.
To pursue Uchiha Shinichi, Sandaime dispatched three Anbu squads.
Unfortunately, the four members of the first Anbu squad died without putting much of a resistance, then the two members of the two squads that Kakashi led died because of underestimating the enemy while the other five are injured critically leaving only him who was still fine.
But even after the sacrifice of so many trusted ninjas of the Anbu unit, nothing was achieved. Not only did they fail to subdue and bring Shinichi back to the village for the trial or kill him but they couldn't even obtain all the information about Shinichi's Mangekyou Sharingan and his other abilities.
Their deaths were more or less meaningless.
Soon the news of the failed hunt was passed back to the village.
Sandaime who was outside the Uchiha Compound along with several Anbu and Konoha ninja had an unconsciously serious expression upon learning this news.
Frankly speaking, the degree of growth of Uchiha Shinichi's strength is somewhat beyond his expectations.
And Shinichi's defection is like a sudden pebble, that stirred up the calm lake, i.e., Konoha is now again engulfed into the ripples of chaos.
The unstable balance between the Hokage Faction and the Uchiha Clan is again disturbed.
Not to mention the weakness of Konoha was again revealed, an Uchiha brat who just awakened the power of the Mangekyou can already mess around the village and walk away indifferently, this just goes to show how rotten the tree planted by Shodaime has become.
Sandaime who was playing with the tobacco pipe glanced towards Uchiha Fugaku's expression from the corner of his eyes.
Sandaime was indeed worried that Anbu's failure to hunt down Uchiha Shinichi might even make the Uchiha Clan more hardened for the Coup.
And Sandaime already knows that aside from Shinichi, Shisui has also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.
After shifting his gaze from Fugaku to Shisui, Sandaime observed the young genius of the Uchiha clan with a calculating gaze and finally reached a conclusion, 'We must draw Shisui to our side, otherwise, Konoha might even become a history!'
With that thought in his mind, Sandaime left the Uchiha compound. Since the Uchiha Clan didn't participate in Shinichi's rebellion, so after calming down the agitated Uchiha Clan and reassuring Fugaku a little; Sandaime left and the other Konoha ninjas that surrounded the Uchiha Clan parameter dispersed under his order.
And around the same time, Kuroto also returned to Yui's house after robbing Danzo!
…
Next Day.
As soon as the first ray of the morning light fell on his courtyard, an Anbu ninja arrived at his house and informed Kuroto, "Special Jonin Hyuga Kuroto, the temporary suspension of Team-11 is lifted, report to Hokage-Sama's summon immediately!"
Kuroto who was already somewhat prepared nodded immediately and after simply dressing up in his combat vest, he arrived at the Hokage Building.
After entering the Hokage Office, Kuroto nodded towards the other three members of Team-11 who had already arrived and were waiting for him and then stood before the desk patiently.
With Kuroto's arrival, Sandaime nodded towards Kakashi.
Kakashi who received Sandaime's permission immediately described the entire information and his side of the story.
After Kakashi finished speaking, Sandaime exhaled the smoke and ordered with a sharp eye, "With that said, the mission of Team-11 is to hunt down the missing-nin, Uchiha Shinichi, is that clear?"
"Yes!"
After leaving the Hokage Building, Kakashi ordered the three members of Team-11, "Time is limited, everyone will have only half an hour to prepare for the mission, we will gather at the meeting point in thirty minutes and set off for the hunting mission, as for the other information on Uchiha Shinichi's ability, I will describe it in detail on the way!"
All three nodded and dispersed to prepare for the mission.
Back at his home, Kuroto who was preparing the ninja equipment and Military Pills thought to himself, "The cooperation between Shinichi and Obito is still not clear, if they are really working together, then I'll have to be careful of Obito too while on this mission!"
According to the information that Kakashi told the team, Kuroto understood that Shinichi wasn't able to find Danzo last night.
And this is precisely why Kuroto was a little confused.
Because not only can Obito freely enter and exit the village but he also has access to information because of Zetsu by his side, so if Shinichi and Obito were in a cooperating relationship, Shinichi would have definitely found Danzo just like Sasuke did!
And since this didn't happen, so it could only mean one thing, 'Shinichi took actions on his own and didn't have Obito's direct support!'
Although Kuroto is more or less sure of his guess, it is still not 100% confirmed.
But anyway, Kuroto also decided to take an extra storage tank filled with green nutrient solution.
This mission is also a chance to obtain a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan for research, as long as Shinichi's Mangekyou ability is not too exaggerated, Kuroto is sure that he can take away that pair of Mangekyou.
After all, as long as the situation permits Kuroto wouldn't mind collecting something that has incredible research value as well as high trade value with Orochimaru!
