Chapter 236: Chapter – 233 *Can’t think of a Suitable Title*
Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh…
One-after-another a large number of shinobi leaped from one tree to another in the night forest.
Although these figures were coming from all directions, their converging point was the same, that is, the place where that loud large explosion occurred a few minutes ago.
As soon as they reached the place, the first thing that they were greeted with was the sea of golden fire that was burning uncontrollably, the next thing they discovered was the deep pit which lied at the center of the sea of golden flames, then there were several hundreds of meters long trenches all over the battlefield, overall, it appeared as if a devastating war just took place here, which was actually true in a sense.
Before proceeding to take steps on the battlefield, the burning fire must be extinguished as the temperature of the flames was unusually high, which would cause burns if anyone carelessly treads at the battlefield.
As such, the ninjas that arrived at the battlefield endured the charring smoke that choked their throats and high temperature that caused heat burns even from a distance and began using all sorts of Water Style Jutsu to extinguish the flames.
However, some soon discovered that this unique type of golden fire was too violent and couldn't be extinguished by Water.
Fortunately, the fire was not spreading to the surroundings and was only burning this area so that was a bit relieving but they will have to put down the fire if the site analysis has to be done.
Not long after, Shimura Danzo, the commander of the hunting operation soon led a team of shinobi and arrived at this burning site.
Coming with Danzo were not only a large number of Anbu of the Root subdivision, many elites shinobi as well as the Toad Sannin Jiraiya.
Looking at the mess that this 'once upon a time calm mountain' is now, Danzo had a gloomy look, nobody could understand what Elder Danzo was thinking at this moment.
By now, the flames have started to gradually fade away for some unknown reason so it saved everyone a lot of trouble.
Carefully walking through the battlefield, Jiraiya squatted before a long trench and looked at it thoughtfully.
Hyuga Hizashi, who has recovered from his injuries walked to the side of the Toad Sannin and muttered in disbelief, "What kind of ninjutsu can cause such trenches all over the battlefield? Are they caused by some kind of Wind Style Ninjutsu?"
Jiraiya knew that Hizashi wasn't asking this question from him but from himself, he still decided to speak, so shaking his head, Jiraiya spoke, "These trenches are not made by the use of Wind Style Ninjutsu but because of Sword Energies!"
Unlike other shinobi from Konoha, Jiraiya's Summon Toad, Gamabunta uses a 'Tonto', of course, this tonto is small only relative to Gamabunta's humungous size but that's another topic of discussion.
So, anyway, Gamabunta's Tonto is a huge 'short sword.'
And Jiraiya is used to seeing many such trenches left on the ground every time he summons Gamabunta to participate in battles, therefore, he could easily tell that these trenches were not formed by some kind of Wind Style Ninjutsu but by some kind of giant sword slashes.
"Sword Energies!?" – Hizashi was stunned, "What kind of sword can create such long trenches?"
This was beyond Hizashi's understanding if the trenches were tens of meters long then that could still be found acceptable, but hundreds of meters long?
Were the people fighting here were humans or towering titans?
While everyone was busy making their own analysis, the sensor ninjas also got busy in search of any remains of chakra they can use to identify the people who fought here.
The leader of the sensor ninjas spoke, "There are three types of chakra traces present here, two of which are very similar and should belong to the closely related people, and their chakra is very cold and evil, while the third type of chakra is kind of strange, I have never sensed something like this, but this chakra is unusually gentle and soothing completely opposite to that of the previous two."
Uchiha Kaminari asked eagerly, "Can you identify who they are?"
"Let me try and see if that is possible!" – The leader of the Sensor-nin again closed his eyes and tried to sense and after a few seconds, he shook his head, "Reading the characteristics of Chakra is indeed possible, but their traces do not match with any type of Chakra I have sensed before. But there's something strange, all the three chakras…"- he couldn't seem to be entangled in words on how to describe it.
Jiraiya walked over at this time and questioned, "What happened to these chakra traces?"
As soon as he noticed Jiraiya, he seemed to have found his point of reference and immediately spoke, "Jiraiya-sama, the intensity of those two cold chakras is not any lower than yours, but what's troubling is that the chakra of the last one is much-much higher than you… I have sensed the Chakra of many people, even that of the Sandaime Raikage, but it wouldn't be wrong to say that the chakra of this third person was even higher than him.
And from this, I can conclude that the people who fought here are only three, not even a single more, moreover, that two evil and cold chakras were confronting that gentle and peaceful one!"
Jiraiya was also stunned if the chakra of those people reaches such an unusually high level and one of them even surpasses someone like the Sandaime Raikage, then that is a very concerning issue.
Not just Jiraiya but even the other shinobi around were stunned by the sensor-nin's words.
It must not be forgotten that Jiraiya is one of the strongest shinobi of the current Konoha, so the fact that it can be confirmed that all the three people who fought here were either on the same level as him or probably higher is indeed very concerning!
One of the shinobi said, "Could it possible that they are the last members of the Uzumaki Clan?"
Sensor-nin said, "It's hard to judge, so I am not sure!"
Hizashi muttered anxiously, "Since when did so many powerhouses appear in the shinobi world?"
Akimichi Choza muttered with some sadness in his tone, "If Yondaime-sama was still alive then these rogue-ninjas would have never dared to venture into the land of fire and cause so much trouble… sigh, but alas…"
An Uchiha spoke when he heard Akimichi Choza's, "Do not worry Akimichi-dono, as long as the Uchiha Clan is in Konoha, no one will be allowed to humiliate Konoha get by after doing it!"
As he spoke, another Uchiha added, "Yes, the Uchiha Clan will never let these bastards get away after causing so much trouble for Konoha!"
Another Uchiha questioned from the sensor-nin, "Can these chakra remains be tracked to find out where they went after the battle here?"
The sensor-nin tried for a while and soon shook his head, "I am afraid but it's not possible!"
"Is there really no way to track these three bastards!?" – questioned Uchiha Kaminari.
The sensor-nin said, "There are traces remaining here, however, these three shinobi suddenly disappeared, as if they were never even here, so the most likely possibility is that they used some kind of space-time ninjutsu to leave this place as such tracking them is most likely impossible!"
"Damn it!" – Uchiha Kaminari cursed, "If only they can be tracked, then with the strength of Patriarch and Shisui it might have been possible to catch them!"
From the beginning to the end, Shimura Danzo did not interject in the conversation, but he did pay close attention to it.
And one doubt was lingering in his mind, He was wondering who the three of people who fought here are?
If it is assumed that one side is related to Amatsukami then who is the other party?
And why was that part confronting Amatsukami?
Is it possible that they are Akatsuki, just like the last time?
It does seem possible considering that the hostile relationship between the two sides is quite apparent!
…
Kuroto Secret Laboratory.
Looking at the two small nutrition tanks before him, each containing a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, Kuroto again breathed a sigh of relief.
Although that 'Stimulus Test' took too much of his time, and was filled with many accidents and variables, the final result he obtained was worth all the hassle Kuroto had to go through!
Then Kuroto's gaze specifically turned towards the small nutrition tank containing Uchiha Hideki's Mangekyou Sharingan, "What could be Hideki's Mangekyou Sharingan Specific Techniques?"
Since Hideki did not use any of the techniques in the battle other than the Susanoo, so it was a little hard to guess.
Kuroto's thirst for knowledge is very similar to his sensei Orochimaru and is something he really can't restrain, for this reason, he has been so obsessed with all sorts of experiments. Discovering secrets and exploring the unknown gives Kuroto a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction which is one of his main driving forces pushing him forward towards his goal step-by-step.
Therefore, Kuroto did not wait any longer and quickly used the remaining of the two low-quality clones, putting the clone body on the test bench, Kuroto quickly used the chakra scalpel to remove the semi-completed Byakugan from the eye sockets.
Putting them in a solution jar at the side to keep them fresh, Kuroto transplanted Uchiha Hideki's Mangekyou Sharingan in those empty eye sockets of the clone body.
After having finished all of this, Kuroto sat on the chair at the side and made the hand seals, "Tenseigan Soul Descend!"
As soon as the seals were finished, Kuroto's main body suddenly became lethargic and lowered its head, and at the same instant, the clone body lying on the test bench opened its eyes.

Chapter 237: Chapter – 234 A Tough Decision
After transferring his soul to the clone body, Kuroto suddenly opened his eyes but a sudden sense of dizziness attacked, Kuroto had to grit his teeth and immediately close his eyes and then open again after a bit of adapting.
At this time, Kuroto's brain was able to perceive a strange red and black pattern from his eyes.
Kuroto's state was in sort of a trance due to the dizziness and he had to spend a few seconds getting used to the feeling and then try getting up.
"It's really not an easy task to use someone else's dojutsu!" – Kuroto muttered helplessly.
Now Kuroto can somewhat understand that people like Nagato and Kakashi; who could adapt to the transplanted dojutsu albeit only to a limited extent really have a tough time.
Shaking his head to let go of these thoughts, Kuroto focused on adapting to these eyes, and when the sense of dizziness subsided, he was finally able to concentrate to some extent; as such he carefully got up from the test bench and walked towards the mirror.
He really wanted to observe these transplanted eyes, and Kuroto was a bit surprised as he saw those unique black eyes with a scarlet pattern but at the same time, there was a bit of letdown because the pattern was not that of the Mangekyou Sharingan, but of the three-tomoe Sharingan.
Understanding this, Kuroto muttered, "No wonder the dizziness suddenly subsided!"
Initially, Kuroto was a bit happy and felt that the adaptability of the Mangekyou Sharingan was much easier than he expected as it only took a few minutes to adapt to the transplanted pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, but it appears that wasn't the case, as the Mangekyou Sharingan automatically retracted to the three tomoe state.
But after pondering for a while, Kuroto felt that this is natural.
After all, even Kakashi; who's Mangekyou Sharingan was awakened by his own chakra also couldn't fully adapt to the Mangekyou Sharingan, and had to spend a whole lot of time to train and get used to the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Even Nagato's case was the same and so was Danzo's.
This clearly shows that transplanting other's dojutsu is never going to be easy.
Of course, Kuroto has a lot of advantages over these people.
Firstly, Kuroto himself is a shinobi who has access to two dojutsu being the Byakugan and the Tenseigan.
Secondly, because of his experience in adapting to the Tenseigan at the time of awakening it, Kuroto will obviously not face as many problems as Kakashi and others went through.
Thirdly, his soul is used to the feeling of Tenseigan Chakra, which is a superior dojutsu compared to Sharingan and Mangekyou Sharingan so that's another plus point for Kuroto.
And finally, compared to Kakashi who had no personal knowledge, resource material, or guidance on how to use Sharingan and Mangekyou Sharingan, Kuroto is in a much better case, there is a lot of information he tortured out of the Uchiha Brothers, then there is Shisui and Shinichi who would not mind giving him all the information he needs, thus Kuroto wouldn't have to spend a lot of time and effort in getting used to the basics, unlike Kakashi.
With that clear, Kuroto used the same approach to activate the Mangekyou Sharingan as he used with the Tenseigan.
And soon enough, as the Chakra was directed towards the eyes, the three black tomoe spinning in the scarlet copy wheel started converging together.
Followed by the merging, the same sense of dizziness again struck Kuroto, the sudden trance caused by the dizziness interrupted the eye-opening process as the first attempt resulted in a failure.
"Huff… huff…!" – Stabilizing himself to prevent the fall, Kuroto heavily gasped for breath, although this attempt resulted in a failure there was no sign of disappointment on Kuroto's face. This is because Kuroto understood that his approach was indeed correct as he expected, it's just that it would take some time to get used to the pressure of Mangekyou Sharingan.
However, time is a currency that Kuroto lacks the most.
Slow adaption is also undesirable, although the current clone he is using does not have genes belonging to the Uchiha Clan, no matter how much effort is required to adapt in the least amount of time possible, Kuroto must do it.
Having made up his mind, regardless of whether he could bear the immediate burden or not, Kuroto forcible directed Charka to the Sharingan to activate the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Under Kuroto's control, the chakra in his body violently gathered around the veins moving towards the eyes and flowed into the Sharingan, as a result activating the Mangekyou Sharingan, but the sense of dizziness interrupted midway.
"Tch… now even a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan wants to stump me?" – as he cursed, Kuroto's expression hardened and he put more effort.
Kuroto didn't know how long it passed but the dizziness finally started to diminish and no longer prevented Kuroto from concentrating and thinking.
At the same time, his blurry vision also gradually started clearing up.
On his image inside the mirror, Kuroto also saw that the pattern of the eyes has finally changed from the three tomoe to that of Hideki's Mangekyou Sharingan.
Soon, information started coming to his mind about the name of some techniques and their mechanism.
"So, it's called 'Daikokuten'?" – Kuroto muttered with a thoughtful expression.
The techniques of both the eyes are the same, it is called 'Daikokuten' and it guards the user against darkness and guides the user towards the light, the darkness can be anything; that is spiritual, Genjutsu attacks, Soul attacks, or Fuinjutsu attacks that effects the soul of the user can be counted in the range of Daikokuten's coverage.
In other words, Daikokuten is a type of defensive Jutsu that guards the user's soul.
It's just that it does not have any active use but a passive one that would help the user stay guarded against any type of soul-damaging attacks.
Jutsu like Kotoamatsukami, Tsukuyomi, Taikyokuzu, Shiki Fujin (Dead Demon Consuming Seal) would no longer have any effect on a person who has Daikokuten in his arsenal!
Understanding this, Kuroto thought, 'Although this Dojutsu wouldn't be useful most of the time when needed in the face of people like Shisui, Itachi, Fugaku, and Uzumaki Fuinjutsu users, Daikokuten will be a real lifesaver!'
As such this technique was really valuable.
Who knows what is the true extent of this ability, there might even be a possibility that this Dojutsu can even resist Jutsu like, 'Mugen Tsukuyomi' and 'Karma Seal' to a certain extent, and if that's really the case, then Daikokuten is incredibly valuable, and Kuroto can't help but feel greedy for this technique.
Since he has already found out the technique of Hideki's Mangekyou Sharingan, next he replaced those eyes with Ryota's Mangekyou Sharingan to better understand what are the techniques Ryota awakened.
As soon as, the information was received by his brain, Kuroto learned that the two Techniques Ryota awakened are called, 'Yaoyorozu' and 'Amatsuhikone' for the left and the right eye respectively.
'Yaoyorozu' the technique of the left eye is an augmentation type technique and allows the user to increase the physical stats of all the things that he wants to, sort of like a buff or strengthening for the physical aspects of thins.
While 'Amatsuhikone' the technique of the right eye is also an augmentation type technique, but it is different from its antipode, Amatsuhikone that allows the user to increase the energy stats of all the things that he wants to, sort of like a buff or increase the energy aspects.
After getting this information, Kuroto was able to understand how Ryota was able to maintain such a large Susanoo with the condition he was in and was still alive even after suffering damage from Azure Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.
Ryota used 'Yaoyorozu' to increase his own and Susanoo's physical aspects, then used 'Amatsuhikone' to increase the chakra in his body to supply the necessary amount of chakra needed to maintain such a large Full-Body Susanoo.
But there was still one thing confusing Kuroto, 'If the two techniques are these then what was that golden fire?'
I mean his Susanoo's color is indeed golden but those golden flames were a bit different so they couldn't have been the same or is it possible that he created that golden fire using these two techniques?
This might be the case, or is it possible that those Golden Flames are abilities of Ryota's Susanoo itself? Each Susanoo grants its user some kind of weapon, perhaps Ryota's Susanoo allowed him to wield those Golden Flames.
"I will have to look into that later on!" – muttered Kuroto.
With that out of the way, Kuroto was now in another dilemma. He has to choose two techniques out of the three that he is going to keep at the time of fusing the two Mangekyou Sharingan pairs into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan pair.
It is inevitable that when the two pairs fuse to give the Eternal Mangekyou, the abilities of one of the pair will be lost, and since all the three techniques are incredibly useful, so there is a tough decision before him, and Kuroto will have no choice but to make it sooner or later.
"Which one to abandon, 'Daikokuten,' 'Yaoyorozu,' or 'Amatsuhikone'? A tough decision indeed!"
