Chapter 200: Chapter – 197 Akatsuki’s Reaction
And if it can be determined that the traitor is an insider, then the scope of the investigation will be narrowed.
All the members of the Main branch can be excluded because they enjoy the power and status brought by the clan, they wouldn't have any reason to betray the clan.
Even among the members of the Branch division, the number of people who are truly dissatisfied or have a conflict with the Main family wouldn't be too many, as long as those people are checked one by one, then the traitor can be easily identified.
Hiashi said, "Well, I will keep an eye out on that matter."
Kuroto nodded, he doesn't need to mention this matter to Patriarch, as the leader of the Clan, Hiashi-sama would surely give his all to narrow down the traitor.
With that out of the way, Hiashi finally heaved a relieved sigh, and said, "Putting aside that matter, I must express how grateful I am to you Kuroto-Kun, no matter how the situation turned out because of the intervention of bounty ninja, your timely response to resolve the crisis is something I am very grateful for!"
Kuroto shook his head, and said, "This is just my responsibility as a shinobi of the Hyuga Clan, if Hyuga Clan faces hardship, then I have to help out in any way, I can."
Hiashi smiled, "Be that as it may, I would like to reward you. Speak your desire, as long as it is within an acceptable range, I will see that it is fulfilled."
Rejecting Patriarch's good intention would be disrespectful, so Kuroto was silent and thought, 'what can I ask?'
Hiashi didn't disturb Kuroto and allowed him to think carefully.
After some consideration, Kuroto spoke, "Hiashi-sama must be aware that during the incident, Yui encountered the bounty-nin, although I am happy that she wasn't seriously injured, the matter could have gone worse, is it possible for her to be transferred and receive formal training of the main family techniques?"
Hiashi was surprised and questioned, "If I am not wrong, you have mastered the techniques of the main family, have you not?"
Kuroto nodded, he has indeed mastered the techniques, there was no reason to hide it.
"So, why not teach her yourself, there was no reason to ask?" – asked Hiashi.
"I am mostly busy with the Anbu missions and therefore, it is not possible for me to help her in her training, moreover her combat style is a bit varied and quite different from mine, so I am not sure if I will be able to train her if Himeji-sama would be willing to train Yui…"
Hiashi was silent for a while and after a little consideration he finally nodded with a smile, "Alright, Yui's talent is good, so it would be worth it, I will see that It happens!"
Kuroto bowed to Hiashi gratefully.
Hiashi just smiled and said, "Don't worry Kuroto-Kun, the times are changing, I think it is also time for the stuck up Hyuga Clan to change, it would be a bit objectionable but I will see that certain things are changed, you needn't worry, I think Himeji will also be happy to have Yui as her disciple."
…
Uchiha Clan
Uchiha Fugaku sat in his study doing some paperwork.
Knock… Knock… Knock…
At this time, a knock came from the door.
"Come in."
Followed by the command, the gate was opened, and Uchiha Shisui entered the room.
"Patriarch, you wanted to see me?" – asked Shisui.
Fugaku didn't raise his head from the report he was reading and just said, "Sit down."
"Yes!" – said Shisui and took his seat.
For a while, there was silence and just the sound of paper scratching resounded as Fugaku was finishing with the paperwork.
Shisui did not disturb, just sat silently.
After he was done with the paperwork, Fugaku lifted his head and observed the injuries on Shisui's body, he had a worried expression seeing those injuries.
Fugaku was really panicked when he received the news that Shisui suffered a sneak attack from Amatsukami.
Currently, in the Uchiha Clan, only he and Shisui have the Mangekyou Sharingan, if something was to happen to Shisui, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Uchiha Clan that has begun making preparation of a Coup d'état.
After learning that the injuries he suffered were just some frostbite, and nothing too serious, Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was really glad that Shisui's eyes were not stolen.
'Perhaps because Sandaime was pretty close that at the time, that the bounty ninja did not have the chance to steal Shisui's eyes!' – thought Fugaku as that could be the only reason he thinks of.
As for the real reason, that is obviously different, for one, the ambush part is just made up, but even if it was real, Shisui isn't much worried, as he has a seal placed on both of his eyes, according to which, if his eyes are removed without deactivating the seal than his eyes would be destroyed. With this even if someone does manage to steal his Mangekyou Sharingan, they wouldn't be able to use it.
Shisui took Kuroto's help in putting this seal after much consideration, Kotoamatsukami is a very dangerous technique, therefore, Shisui doesn't want it to go into the hands of someone who could harm Konoha and the Uchiha Clan.
And only Kuroto and Shisui are aware of this information, not even Kakashi and Guy are aware of this.
Noticing Fugaku's silence, Shisui asked, "Fugaku-sama!?"
Upon Shisui's beckoning, Fugaku put aside his thoughts and questioned, "Describe the events that took place, and how did you end up encased in an ice tree!"
Hearing Fugaku's questioning, Shisui didn't hesitate and reveal the same information as they have revealed to Sandaime-sama, and finally, he said, "I didn't expect that all three of them would be so strong and was caught off guard when Homusubi used Mangekyou Sharingan!"
Fugaku nodded, although he didn't know what Mangekyou Sharingan Dojutsu Shisui has, Fugaku understood the strength that Homusubi has, and no matter how talented, Shisui is still somewhat young, so it's not strange for him to have lost.
At this time said, "I can be certain that Homusubi is not Shinichi, he is a traitor and most likely the person responsible for controlling the Kyuubi, although I haven't yet figured out as to who exactly he is, betraying the clan and the village is unforgivable. I have deployed people to collect information about him and keep track of him, as soon as he appears and we get the wind, you will come with me to kill him, letting an unstable figure with Mangekyou Sharingan is highly problematic and must be resolved."
"Yes!" – Shisui nodded.
"Also, I am quite certain that Sandaime will deploy personnel to collect all the possible intelligence about both Amatsukami and Akatsuki, so keep your eyes and ears open!"
"Yes, I will make sure!" – Shisui agreed.
"And lastly, do not run around carelessly, both Amatsukami and Akatsuki are dangerous, so it would be best to be very careful when dealing with them, lest damage will be irrecoverable, is that clear?" – Fugaku warned.
Shisui again nodded helplessly, "Yes, Fugaku-sama, I will be careful!"
…
3 days back.
Inside a dark cave somewhere in the Land of Rain.
Several illusionary projections of different members of the Akatsuki Organization could be seen standing in a circle.
This is another one of a rare gathering of all of the Akatsuki members.
Pain, the leader of Akatsuki looked at Kakuzu and Sasori and said flatly, "Tell me what exactly happened, in detail!"
Sasori was silent, he didn't say a word.
Seeing this Pain turned towards Kakuzu, who spoke, "We encountered two members of Amatsukami last night, at that time, they seem to have offended Konoha and were being chased by Sandaime Hokage and Uchiha Fugaku, along with many Anbu and Uchiha Clan elites..."
Kakuzu described the details of the entire incident.
Everyone was again surprised by the bold actions of Amatsukami and the fact that they escaped the siege of such people.
Pain has to also acknowledge and seriously pay attention to this seemingly new organization called Amatsukami.
Hiruko said, "With 'Yama,' 'Suijin,' and now this 'Homusubi' there are three known members of Amatsukami, right?"
Kakuzu nodded, "Yes!"
Shinno said, "Are members of Amatsukami really so strong?"
Without waiting for Kakuzu to speak, Sasori said coldly, "Are you questioning me?"
Shinno just smiled lightly and did not speak any further.
At this time, Uchiha Shinichi spoke with a smirk, "Do you know why Amatsukami was being pursued by the Hokage and Uchiha Patriarch?"
The eyes of all the members turned towards Uchiha Shinichi.
Seeing that everyone turned towards him, Shinichi said, "I received news that the head ninja of Kumogakure who was the leader of the delegation and was responsible for signing the peace treaty between the two nations was killed by the members of Amatsukami for the bounty on his head, and Hokage not wanting to lose the face of his village anymore personally chased but could neither capture the culprit nor take back the corpse, hahaha… it's so funny, the Hokage is completely useless… one after other people are using Konoha as their playground and all he does is sitting in his cozy office smoking tobacco… so pathetic!"
Shinichi is obviously very happy that Konoha is facing so many difficulties one after another, the Hokage doesn't value his people, he should suffer, as for the question of whether he is worried about being destroyed?
Obviously, no. Hyuga Kuroto is part of Konoha, so how could it be destroyed so easily?
Pain was silent for a while and said, "Continue with the missions and keep an eye out for any intelligence of Amatsukami. Hiruko, and Shinno, you both will now enter the Land of Fire, also Sasori and Kakuzu, solve the matter of Orochimaru as soon as possible and then start an in-depth investigation of Amatsukami."
Hiruko narrowed his eyes, it appeared that he was hesitating slightly but nodded, "Alright!"
Shinno also nodded, "Yes!"
Sasori said, "I need to remodel my body, so it will take some time."
Kakuzu also said, "I too need to restock a few of my hearts that were damaged!"
Pain knew that Sasori and Kakuzu's combat power would be affected otherwise so nodded, "Acceptable!"
"One thing I want to warn everyone, I don't care if you all take it seriously or not, but the members of Amatsukami are very cunning and vicious, as seen in both the encounters we had with them, so it would be best to be careful of this!" – said Kakuzu.
Everyone had a different reaction to this but nobody voiced their opinion.
With that out of the way, one-by-one the holographic projections of the Magic Lantern Body Technique disappeared one after another, and the view of the eternal rain of Amegakure came into the view.
Taking a look at the clouds, Tendo Pain sitting on the tongue of the stone statue stood up and walked inside the room.
Inside, Uchiha Madara wearing the Orange mask stood leaning on the sidewall.
As pain walked in, he questions, "So?"
Tendo Pain didn't turn to look at Madara, just relayed all the information and said, "Perhaps we have to pay some attention to Amatsukami!"
In Pain's view, just two members, who aren't even leaders of that organization played around with Konoha, one of the great shinobi villages; like tools in their hands. The entire pursuing force return empty-handed, moreover Kakuzu and Sasori were involved in the fiasco against their will.
As for how strong is Yama to have shinobi of such capability under his command, Pain knows nothing about it.
As such, Pain has to consider Amatsukami a threat, even if a minor one.
"Should I search them?" – asked a Kunoichi. She has short, straight blue hair with a bun, grey eyes that are cold and devoid of any emotion, along with lavender eye shadows, and a labret piercing. A greyish-blue paper flower clipped on her bun, and fair skin, finally she wore the traditional Akatsuki high neck turtle Akatsuki Cloak.
Pain turned towards the Kunoichi named Konan and shook his head, "It's not time yet."
Because Pain has a feeling that he will soon have an encounter with Yama.
Madara pondered a little and said, "I will soon be going to the Land of Fire for a while, the Uchiha Clan needs someone to add fire!"

Chapter 201: Chapter – 198 A serious talk
Walking out of the Patriarch's Mansion, Shisui walked down the streets of the Uchiha Clan with serious thoughts.
The people of the Uchiha Clan were coming and going, some in a hurry, some leisurely walking and discussing things with their acquaintances, although there was some inexplicable tension, there was also peace and joy, all these people are the ones who are non-shinobi, ordinary people, or the young ones who have yet to awaken the Sharingan.
Looking at this peaceful atmosphere, Shisui sighed.
'If you don't make up your mind only annihilation awaits Uchiha Clan!'
Kuroto's words kept echoing in Shisui's mind.
"Shisui-nii-san, are you going to play with us today?" – asked an Uchiha kid.
"Baka Itsuki, Shisui-nii-san must have to go on a mission, how can he casually play with us?" – spoke another kid.
"Ne-ne Shisui-nii-san, c-can you help us in Shuriken practice, please, I want to be a shinobi just like you when I grow up, so can you please teach us?"
One after another the children of the Uchiha Clan have surrounded Shisui and spoke out their desires with enthusiasm and cheerfulness.
'If you don't make up your mind only annihilation awaits Uchiha Clan!' – those words again resounded in Shisui's mind.
'… Only annihilation awaits Uchiha Clan!'
'No what am I thinking? I'll never let these children die, they have nothing to do with all the mess, they are completely innocent!'
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces of the people of the clan, Shisui's mind was in a mess, his feeling vivid, and only Kuroto's words kept resounding in his mind. Finally, patting the head of the children, Shisui made up his mind and his gaze became determined, these children, these people that have nothing to do with the politics and shinobi life are innocent, 'I am going to protect them, no matter how much guilt and darkness I must embody, even if I have to betray my beliefs I have believed in up to now, I will protect them, this is my Nindou, my ninja way!'
The final bits of hesitation also disappeared, and Shisui didn't realize that at this moment because of his determination and emotional influence, his Chakra was a bit erratic, and his ocular power strengthened, the Yin Chakra in his body flared up. As a result, his insight has increased again, his eyes are still Mangekyou Sharingan, but his insight has increased.
It didn't take long for Shisui to realize this change and he soon calmed his emotions.
While Shisui was going to reply to the kind, a person stopped in front of Shisui and said with a mocking tone, "Oh, isn't this Uchiha Shisui, the most genius shinobi of Uchiha Clan?"
"What do you want Ryota-san?" – Questioned Shisui in an annoyed tone.
The children were suddenly silent by the sudden arrival of Ryota and were able to sense the hostile atmosphere between the two, so they nodded towards each other and tacitly retreated.
No kidding, they weren't idiot enough to interfere here. Bothe Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Ryota are famous within Uchiha Clan, especially because of their opposing ideologies.
Uchiha Ryota, age: 24, one of the many top geniuses of the Uchiha Clan, current captain of the third division of the Konoha Military Police Force.
He awakened Sharingan at the age of eleven and had a fully matured Sharingan with three tomoe by the time he was sixteen years old. His strength is undoubtedly among the top five of the current Uchiha Clan, obviously excluding Fugaku and Shisui.
He is also the unofficial leader of the most radical members of the Uchiha Clan.
Being the arrogant and prideful person he is, Ryota could obviously not tolerate being surpassed by Shisui who is ten years younger than him. So, one day he found Shisui and challenged him.
The result obviously need not be said.
The gap in strength was too evident, and Ryota miserably lost, couldn't even connect a single strike, and in the end, defeated.
Ever since then, he has been annoying the hell out of Shisui, and he has to compare everything.
When he heard that Shisui has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he was in disbelief, he trained relentlessly, with the hope of one-day awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan and tried many methods to do so, but if Mangekyou Sharingan was so easy to awaken then it wouldn't have such precious value.
Because of his continuous failure, he has been acting too much arrogantly, has to taunt and annoy Shisui whenever the two encounters each other.
Listening to Shisui's frustrated tone, Ryota was happy and said with a mocking tone, "I heard a rumor that you were defeated by bounty-nin?"
Shisui was in no mood to talk about that, and stated, "Yes, and what does that have to do with you?"
"Come now Shisui, are we not friends? It's a pity that I was on a mission at that time, If I went along with Patriarch to hunt down the bounty-nin, the result would have obviously… hehe…"
Ryota said and stopped halfway to chuckle, he seems to be mocking that even with the Mangekyou Sharingan, Shisui was still defeated…
Shisui ignored Uchiha Ryota's sarcastic words and flashed past him, in an attempt to just leave and not create a scene here.
But how could Ryota allowed Shisui to leave so easily? He said with a cold snort, "Just you wait brat, I will awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan very soon, and restore the reputation of the Uchiha Clan, something that you have yet to accomplish!"
As soon as he heard these words, Shisui's face sank, and only one thought appeared in his mind, 'If he also manages to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, then wouldn't the Clan immediately launch the coup!?'
As soon as this thought appeared, Shisui also remembered that Uchiha Ryota also has an older brother.
Uchiha Hideki, another one of the genius of the Uchiha Clan with the strength that undoubtedly places him in the top ten of the Uchiha Clan, however, compared to Ryota, Hideki's character is a bit mild.
…
Hyuga Clan, Kuroto's house.
Hyuga Yui, who cleaned up and tidied up Kuroto's house came and sat down beside Kuroto, as he had asked.
At this time, Kuroto also put down the scroll in his hand and spoke with a serious face, "Your team has been taking part on patrol duty, why was I not informed of this?"
"It was just a recent change in duties, it was no big deal, so I did not want to worry you Kuroto-kun." – said Yui.
"Well, you worried me, when I heard about what happened to you!" – Kuroto said.
Thinking of what happened a few days ago, Yui bit her lip in frustration, hasn't she decided to become strong? Then why? She couldn't even land a single hit. If not for the fact that Suijin didn't have any intention of killing unrelated people, she would have undoubtedly died.
At the thought of this, tears started to well up and slowly fell on her hands that were resting on her knees, silently crying at her weakness.
Kuroto sighed and brought her close, it was Kuroto's fault to begin with, he is responsible for these tears. I mean even Hokage couldn't manage to do anything to him, what will she do? She is not even a Jonin yet.
After a bit of soothing as Kuroto rubbed her back, Yui finally stopped, but her eyes still had a shade of red.
At this time, Kuroto said, "Listen, Yui, I can't disclose the exact detail, but I want you to know that the next 10 to 15 years are going to be the most dangerous years of the shinobi era. I have a feeling that one after another people of such immense strength and calibre as Suijin and Homusubi will come into the picture…
And in this period of the next few years, the value of a shinobi would decrease, the Genins, Chunins, and Jonins, will all become nothing but pure cannon fodder class people. I know it sounds ridiculous, and difficult to imagine, but it is going to happen, whether we like it or not.
And I realize that I won't always be there to protect you in the midst of all this, but I also know that I can't stop you. You are a Kunoichi, a talented one at that.
And I don't want to lose you, I have already lost my parents, and you are all that's left so I don't want to lose you, ever. For that reason, you will have to work hard and train, train to reach the level of a Kage and then further, I know it is difficult… very few have and will ever reach this level, but I would like to believe that the girl I love would not give up just because something seems impossible, right?"
Yui nodded, she would not give up, she has already decided on this.
"Good, now I want you to know that I have already had a talk with Hiashi-sama, and he will transfer you to internal management while you will train under Himeji-sama, in the main family gentle fist techniques, in the meantime, I will also make notes on Fuinjutsu, that you will learn and master, understand?" – Kuroto spoke in an unquestionable tone.
Yui knows that Kuroto-Kun is doing this for her, and nodded.
Yui's talent is very good, and Kuroto believes that she can reach the level of an elite Jonin, under the teachings of Himeji-sama, and Kuroto will obviously arrange other methods to make sure that she goes further.
Looking at Yui who still seems to be somewhat down, Kuroto rubbed her back and gave her a few kisses, on the forehead and cheek, making her feel embarrassed.
One of the main reasons Kuroto refuses to reveal his strength openly is that he knows that once he is out in the open, his situation would become similar to Namikaze Minato.
Everything around him will become a weakness that the enemy can and will exploit.
And Kuroto isn't sure if he could remain as calm as Yondaime-sama was if he is put in a similar situation as he was during the Kyuubi's rebellion.
The wife was dying because the Kyuubi was extracted, the village and villagers were being destroyed by the Kyuubi, and an unknown enemy with dangerous thoughts and ideologies was facing him, yet he was calm enough to make such deduction and decisions that shaped the entire future of the shinobi world.
Kuroto isn't sure if he could have been the same if he was in Yondaime's shoes.
Therefore, he doesn't want to risk it.
