Chapter 260: Chapter – 256 Amatsukami Made its Move Again?
With that decision, next Kuroto wrapped some bandages over the pubic area and the pair of breasts to keep them affixed and not become a problem while carrying out intensive movements and training, and after putting over on a simple robe he found in the lab, he walked barefoot towards the detached laboratory where Uchiha Ryota was detained.
Byakugan!
In the vision of Byakugan, Kuroto found that the two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan in the eye sockets of Uchiha Ryota are already past the preliminary fusion.
And because two eyeballs are midway through the fusion process, so together they appear to be a little bloated and have an overall elliptical outline.
"Sigh, the speed of fusion is still much slower than I expected." – Shaking his head in disappointment, Kuroto left the laboratory.
At this time, Kuroto thought on his way towards the main lab, "On genetic fusion technology, Orochimaru is also an expert, maybe I should ask some knowledge and insight from him."
Gene fusion is not a new field of science, as gene fusion experiments were even carried out during the era of Nidaime Hokage's rule, after the death of Shodaime-sama, many of the Senju clansmen volunteered in the experimentations to be able to inherit Shodaime-sama's Wood Release Kekkei Genkai by fusing his cells into their body, but without exception, all of them failed.
These experiments were, of course, carried out in secrecy and the general public is not aware of this knowledge, after Nidaime-sama's death, Sandaime-sama terminated these experiments but they were still secretly carried out by Shimura Danzo.
And it was Shimura Danzo who tempted Orochimaru to start his own research about the Wood Release, Yamato is the result of these experiments.
Not only did he survive the fusion experiment, but even manage to awaken the Wood Release.
Shimura Danzo also uses Shodaime Sama's Cells which is another result of those experiments.
It must not be forgotten that Hashirama cells are countless times more terrifying than cancer cells, they can completely swallow another person's cells, so the difficulty of Hashirama Cells fusion is much-much-much higher than the Uchiha cells.
And the fact that Yamato managed to successfully fuse with the Hashirama Cells, does not only showcase his specialties but also shows Orochimaru's expertise in the field of gene fusion.
So, his guidance would only benefit Kuroto.
But as you know, Orochimaru is a snake and one should always be careful when dealing with a snake!
"But if I contact Orochimaru he would obviously ask Haku to be sent back, what should I do then?"
For the past few months, Haku has been constantly living in the underground residence.
There is a reason why Kuroto has not sent him back to Orochimaru yet, it is because Haku is not only aware of the fact that Kuroto has been trying to learn Ice Release, but is also aware that Kuroto can use some strange technique to attach his soul to others, which happened when he used Tenseigan Soul Descend to leech his soul to Haku's body to experience Ice Release in personal.
As such, once Haku returns to Orochimaru, it is difficult to guarantee that Haku will not explain what he experienced here upon being asked by Orochimaru.
With Orochimaru's cunningness, as long as Orochimaru learns that Kuroto has been trying to learn Ice Release, and is capable of transferring his soul, then it won't take him much time to put two and two together, and he will immediately realize that there is some deep connection between him and Suijin of Amatsukami.
And when that happens Orochimaru might even be able to guess the true identity of Suijin, which will give him a perfect understanding of the secret behind Amatsukami!
This is something Kuroto does not want, so he has to think of some other ways out of this situation.
Occupied by so many thoughts, Kuroto soon returned to the main lab, and after transferring back his soul to his main body, he put the female clone inside the Large Nutrition tank again, then compiled all the data of the gene fusion experiment he carried out in the past few weeks.
After doing so he returned to his home.
…
Next day.
Today it was Kuroto and Shisui's turn to keep a watch over and ensure the safety of the protagonist of the canon, as per the mission assigned to Anbu Team-11, by Sandaime-sama.
Uzumaki Naruto who is already four years old, does not like staying in the lonely home he is given, no one other than him lives in that lonesome place, as such he spends most of his time walking through the village.
But because of the rumors of the demon fox being sealed inside him, and the hatred people of Konoha harbored for Kyuubi made those people direct their hatred towards the young Naruto, as such he has always been rejected, hated, and ignored by most of the villagers.
This has made Naruto's childhood lack the love and attention that a child needs and made him always be lonely without getting any answer as to why he is treated as such.
"Sigh…!" – Standing on the tree, Shisui sighed while looking at the little Naruto walking through the streets in the cold night, Naruto's head was low, and sadness in his eyes.
Kuroto also looked at Naruto with complicated emotions.
Kuroto knows that he will never be able to understand Naruto's pain, after all, Kuroto is at least aware of who were his parents, what kind of people were they like and so many more things, even after their death, Yui has always been there for him, so he has never truly felt lonely.
But Naruto's case is completely different.
As the son of Yondaime Hokage and the princess of the Uzumaki Clan, Naruto should actually be the prince of Konoha if anything, moreover, both his parents sacrificed their lives to protect Konoha, and the fact that Kyuubi has been sealed inside him makes him the Hero of the village, yet he suffers such treatment at the hands of the villagers.
It's really inhuman to make such a young child go through such a life and suffer through such coldness and hatred from others.
In fact, it wouldn't be wrong to say that it is Konoha's luck that Naruto did not go dark and kept up his positive attitude to seek everyone's acknowledgment, rather than slaughtering them coldly.
Whoosh… Whoosh…
While Kuroto was busy in thoughts, two figures appeared beside Kuroto.
They are none other than Kakashi and Guy who are also dressed in their Anbu uniforms.
Kuroto glanced at the two of them and asked curiously, "What are you two doing here, it's still not the time to change the shift, did something happen!?"
Kakashi and Guy removed their mask for a while and said, "Right, something serious happened."
Kuroto and Shisui also removed their respective masks, and Shisui asked in confusion, "Something really happened?" – he was stunned, then asked, "So, um… what happened exactly?"
Kakashi spoke with a sullen face, "Amatsukami recently made their move, this time they attacked Raikage-dono and his entourage who were on their way to the location discussed by the five Kage for the upcoming Gokage Summit, in this attack, both the guards that were accompanying him suffered!"
""What!?"" – both Kuroto and Shisui were taken aback by this sudden news and exclaimed at the same time.
Immediately, both looked at each other and asked the other party with a shocked and doubtful face, ""Amatsukami… Amatsukami has been making their moves recently?""
But seeing that both of them asked the same question and both of them had the same, shocked, confused and doubtful expression, they shook their heads instinctively, ""I don't know!""
Kakashi didn't think too much about Kuroto and Shisui's behavior, and their shocked and doubtful expression, according to him, both Kuroto and Shisui were probably asking the other party if he knew this information, so not minding their exclaim, Kakashi continued, "Hokage-sama is worried that Amatsukami will conspire some plans against the Kyuubi which is sealed inside Uzumaki Naruto, so assigned more Anbu to ensure Uzumaki Naruto's safety, so from now, entire Team-11 will keep watch over him together and our shifts will be changed with other Anbu teams during the 6-hour break we will get."
Both Shisui and Kuroto nodded, and after a while of silence, Kuroto asked, "Is Raikage-dono alright?"
"Raikage is safe and sound, the target of this attack was not Raikage-dono but his two guards." – Kakashi said.
Kuroto frowned and muttered, "But why would Amatsukami attack Raikage's guards? Was there anything special about them?"
Kakashi thought a little and said, "I am not sure, one of the guards following him was the Jonin who came to Konoha with the Kumo peace delegation, while the other one was a user of Storm Release Kekkei Genkai, and he was called Rai."
Shisui's gaze flickered, "I know him!" – Shisui's words attracted the attention of the rest of the team, seeing their questioning eyes which asked for further explanation, Shisui said, "It was during the third great Shinobi War, during one of the missions, our team encountered another three-man team of Kumogakure, at that time, I fought against Rai, who was the strongest of his team, our fight did not last long, but during that brief confrontation I was unable to take the advantage, and at that time, I already had three tomoe Sharingan, so it wouldn't be wrong to say that Rai was very strong even at that time! By now, he should have already been an elite Jonin!"
Kakashi nodded, "He is indeed an elite Jonin based on the information we have, and it is still unclear as to why would Amatsukami attack these two Jonin, Rai's status is unclear, it's possible that he is already dead, but we can't know for certain as there is no corpse to identify, but we do know that the other Jonin is dead, as his corpse was found, so we are assuming that Amatsukami's target was Rai in specific, and there is a possibility that he is still alive!"
Guy muttered with a dejected face, "In the face of Amatsukami, I am afraid… that Rai…"
But before Guy could complete his sentence, Kuroto asked, "Is there any information about which member of Amatsukami attacked this Rai fellow?"
Asked by Kuroto, Kakashi took out a few documents from his shinobi bag and passed them over to Kuroto and Shisui. "According to Raikage-dono's description, the member of Amatsukami that appeared this time had a strange face and body."
Upon listening to Kakashi's words Kuroto focused his attention on the document that listed the following information:

Kuroto frowned as he read the detail, "Is it the last member who did it?"
Kakashi shook his head, "There is no confirmation, this ninja led away Raikage, but it is still unclear whether he is actually responsible for the disappearance of Rai, or if there was the involvement of other members of Amatsukami."

Chapter 261: Chapter – 257 Greedy Cat!
There are only a handful of people in the shinobi would who would dare to attack or cause trouble with the Raikage.
Kuroto is no exception to this, as even he is unwilling to cause conflict with Raikage unless absolutely necessary, so the identity of the attacker is not so hard to guess, in all likelihood, it has to be the handiwork of Akatsuki, and this guess is more than likely to be true because there is mention of this member with plant-like appearance, which has to be Zetsu without a doubt.
But Kuroto is a little puzzled as to why would Akatsuki attack and intercept Raikage and his two guards?
'Moreover, even if they did attack, why would they want to blame this upon Amatsukami? Are they worried about something? That… should probably… not be the case, right!?' – thought Kuroto but he wasn't so sure.
At this time, Shisui who has also read the information asked Kakashi, "There is too little information about the enemy here, did Raikage not fight the new suspected member of Amatsukami?"
Kakashi shook his head awkwardly, "Raikage… Raikage was actually too impatient and rashly chased after this member of Amatsukami and was deliberately led away, neither was he able to catch this member nor did he have any battle with him. So, there is not much we know about this enemy."
"But it can be determined that Amatsukami's target was probably Rai." – After a pause, Shisui continued, "Rai's life and death status are unknown, but what could be the reason that Amatsukami went after Rai, weren't their target the nine Bijuu, so why to attack a non-Jinchuriki, after all, we do know that Amatsukami does not attack any unrelated party, so why attack him? Was it just the bounty on his head or did they hope to extract any information out of him, like the probable location of the Jinchuriki, or maybe the secrets of Storm Release?"
Kakashi said, "Both are possible, the second reason is more than likely to be the case, based on the fact that Amatsukami has already kidnapped two Uchiha Shinobi, it wouldn't be wrong to judge that Amatsukami is also targeting shinobi with different Kekkei Genkai too, but we can't loosen our guards as who knows when they will start to target Bijuu..."
Guy continued, "The threat on Naruto is more eminent; if Amatsukami dares to openly attack Raikage's entourage just for Kekkei Genkai user, unlike the other times when they carried out sneak attacks, there is no telling whether they will again sneak inside Konoha and try to do steal the Kyuubi, as such Hokage-sama has added more manpower to ensure Uzumaki Naruto's safety!"
'Storm Release huh!?' – Hearing Kakashi and Guy's words, Kuroto suddenly recalled Hiruko, and thought, 'Is it possible that Akatsuki's attack on this Storm Release user is related to Hiruko?'
Kuroto is not sure, this is because it's too early for Hiruko to act, even in the original series, Hiruko started to steal Kekkei Genkai when Naruto's generation had already grown up into teenage, it was also at that time that Hiruko completed his imperfect Chimera Technique.
But Kuroto has to also take into account that there have already been too many changes in the timeline, as such, the sudden attack and disappearance of this storm Release user at the hands of Akatsuki does lead to the possibility. Since Hiruko has joined Akatsuki, so this could be the only reason.
'But how come Hiruko manage to perfect Chimera Technique so early? Is it because he joined Akatsuki and got all the help he needed to complete that technique?' – thought Kuroto.
This could be the only possible case.
After completing their shift, Team-11 separated and went to their respective homes.
Shisui and Kuroto were going in the same direction, and after Kakashi and Guy left, he asked eagerly, "Kuroto-san, what's going on? Are there other members in Amatsukami?"
"If there were other members in Amatsukami, then why would I not inform you about them in advance!?" – snorted Kuroto, and continued, "The person who attacked Raikage and his entourage is someone else pretending to be a member of Amatsukami; their goal is obviously to put the blame of their actions on our head!"
Shisui was immediately angry, "Scoundrels! Kuroto-san, let's find them!"
Kuroto glanced at Shisui and said, "Don't be in such a hurry!" Then asked after a pause, "First answer this question of mine, what is the objective of Amatsukami?"
Shisui was confused as to why would Kuroto-San ask this, but he answered nonetheless, "To solve the conflict between the Uchiha Clan and the village?"
Kuroto nodded, "That's not exactly correct but it is one of the objectives in the big game, so does it really matter whether someone is putting the blame of their action upon Amatsukami? Although their intentions are obviously malicious towards us, by doing so, they are actually helping us further increase the threat of Amatsukami in the eyes of everyone, so this is obviously very helpful for us!"
Shisui thought a little and said, "Right, the more threat Amatsukami poses, the more concerned the Clan and village will grow towards them, so the internal conflict will continue to get delayed as time passes."
"Exactly!" – Kuroto nodded.
"But… but these people are doing such things and using our name to put on the blame, I always feel a bit uncomfortable, are we going to let them do as they wish?"
Kuroto said casually, "I have a few things in mind that we will be doing to deal with this problem, so you don't need to worry about this too much, what we should focus on now is to ensure Uzumaki Naruto's safety, because Akatsuki will definitely target Kyuubi!"
Shisui nodded as he understands the importance of Kyuubi for Konoha, and Uzumaki Naruto who hosts the Kyuubi must be protected at all costs.
With this final understanding, Shisui bid Kuroto farewell and returned to his home.
…
Kuroto who also returned to his home pondered a little, after biting his finger and printing the hand signs, Kuroto tapped his hand on the ground and muttered, "Summoning Jutsu!"
Poof…
Followed by a puff of white smoke, an all too familiar orange cat appeared before Kuroto that… didn't… look... familiar at all!
Kuroto frowned seeing this, it's because this orange cat's orange hair was covered in some stripes, these stripes were black in color over the orange fur, making the cat unrecognizable at the first glance.
Even Kuroto was a little confused and doubtful whether this is the same greedy cat, "You are…?"
Kasai, who was suddenly summoned by Kuroto looked a bit annoyed and said, "Meow, I am dying my hairs today, so I would not be delivering any message for today."
As soon as he heard that voice, Kuroto was sure that this fake tiger is definitely the same Kasai, and asked with s smile, "You gave me a good shock Kasai, for a moment I thought that a real tiger appeared in my room, those stripes look so real on you!" – said Kuroto in a fake surprise.
"Really?" – hearing from Kuroto, the cat was suddenly joyful and happily curled on the table, "Do they really look real? I guess I didn't do anything wrong after agreeing to his offer, the tiger stripes are dyed markings, I felt that when I get these markings, I will look intimidating and mighty."
'Who fooled this stupid cat?' – Kuroto thought but did not speak it out loud, and said, "Anyway, I called you because I want you to pass on a message to Shinichi."
The cat didn't seem to have heard what Kuroto spoke as it was busy daydreaming about how mighty and ferocious it will look with the tiger stripes, "Huh, it seems that hair dye shop is pretty good, you can also visit it and get some tiger stripes in the future if you want, I am telling you, you will also look intimidating, meow!"
Punch… crack…
Kuroto beat the table to bring Kasai out of his daydream and spoke, "Did you hear what I just said? I said that I called you this time because I want you to pass on a message to Shinichi for me!"
Kasai denied immediately, "Meow, I have to go back and complete the dying of my hair, consider me unavailable until then."
As soon as the cat spoke, Kuroto immediately took out a thousand Ryo bill and put it in front of Kasai.
"How about now?" – asked Kuroto.
A tangled expression was evident on Kasai's face, it still didn't faze it, looking back and forth between the thousand Ryo bill on the table and him, Kasai, shook his head, "It… gulp… I have to dye my hair…"
'Greedy Cat!' – Before Kasai could complete that sentence, Kuroto took out another thousand Ryo Bill and placed over the previous one, "How about now, do you still have to dye your hair?"
As soon as two bills were present in front, the cat's eyes were glued to them but still shook his head, "Hahaha… don't be funny, bribing me won't get you…"
Before Kasai could complete his words, Kuroto again took out another bill of thousand Ryo and put it over the previous two, and side while gritting his teeth, "I am sorry! I didn't hear you correctly, so what were you saying?"
By now the cat already had stars shining in his eyes and saliva literally dripping from the corners of his mouth, as soon as Kuroto asked the question, the cat fiercely grabbed the three thousand Ryo, and immediately put them inside the small bag hung around the neck while patting the chest with a determined expression, "Meow, you are of course a special exception to this, what message needs to be passed on to Shinichi, give it to me, I swear in the name of Nekobaa that it will be delivered in one minute!"
…
One of the many training grounds of the Uchiha Clan.
Uchiha Hiiragi, who had been training for the whole day, dropped his sword on the ground and wiped off the sweat with a hand towel.
The previous encounter with Homusubi has become a shame for Hiiragi, being defeated is another thing altogether, but being treated as nothing more than trash, and yet not being able to take a single step in the face of the enemy has become a thorn in Hiiragi's heart, he has not been able to let go of that look he received from Homusubi.
"To think that I would be intimidated by just a mere glance of his, it's unforgivable!" – whenever he thinks of that scene, Hiiragi not only feels anger at Homusubi but also upon himself, but he is ashamed of himself and his weakness, 'First I lost to Hyuga Kuroto, and now this Homusubi!?'
So, to make sure that such a thing does not happen again, Hiiragi has been constantly training whenever he is on a break or holiday from his regular Konoha Military Police Duties.
The effort he has been putting in is obviously being paid off as Hiiragi feels that his strength is steadily improving.
And this has made him feel somewhat better, but he still too far from reaching Homusubi's level who can fight against Kumo's A-B brothers at the same time.
After having wiped off the sweat, just as Hiiragi was about to draw his sword that rested on the ground, an unusual spiraling whirl appeared in front of him.
Hiiragi was immediately cautious and asked, "Who are you?"
He asked this because Hiiragi saw a figure emerging out of the eye of the spiraling whirl…
