Chapter 268: Chapter – 264 Why go to such length?
The sudden dazzling light that illuminated the sky with a golden glow prompted Ryota to raise his only hand to cover his eyes.
At this time, the two hands that have fallen on the ground exploded further splashing flames everywhere.
The sound of the explosion was obviously very loud, and it still lingered within Ryota's ear.
After forcefully adapting to the golden bright light Ryota suddenly realized that the Golden Sword that Kuroto carried was longer than before and it had already penetrated the chest part of the Susanoo armor.
Two cleaved off hands and the chest pierced by the sword reminded Ryota of that night, and he was instantly angrier when he saw this!
After getting the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan (the epitome of power that an Uchiha can have ) Ryota knows that he stands at the pinnacle of the Uchiha Clan, at the same level of Uchiha Madara, and yet he is so helpless in the face of Hyuga Kuroto, even if he knows that his defeat is inevitable, he doesn't want to be so helpless!
"Ahhhhhh...!!!!!"
With a roar, Ryota urged 'his' Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan with all his power such that bloody veins became apparent on the white sclera, but he didn't care and continued putting more and more and more and more… chakra, squeezing out every bit and fragment, his body started to suddenly age, yet he did not care…
What he cared now was to not die miserably!
Followed by Ryota's roar, and the instantaneous burst of chakra, the golden flams that were encasing the Susanoo armor with a protective cloak sizzled and grew violent, raging uncontrollably.
It grew and its form changed, the empty spots from where the arm was cleaved off were now covered with the golden flames that took the shapes of two giant hands of the Susanoo armor.
And it seems that Ryota was not finished with this, his roar continued, and the Golden Flames even covered the empty interior of the Susanoo armor.
Now the giant Susanoo was a Golden Flame giant, and when Kuroto saw such a change, his face sank.
Although not as strong as Uchiha Sasuke's Indra Susanoo, this Susanoo was only a step or two away from reaching such high power, all that Ryota lacked to be able to match that level of power was the amount of Chakra!
But Kuroto knew that even if this Susanoo is not as exaggeratedly strong as Uchiha Sasuke's Indra Susanoo, he still can't be careless with it.
This is because he is more than familiar with the characteristics of the Golden Flame. Kuroto has already done experiments with this Golden Flame and understands this very well that aside from being very hot and violent, the Golden Flames which is actually a special ability of Ryota's Mangekyou Sharingan (aside from the two dojutsu abilities) these Golden Flames seems to be able to burn the Charka itself.
Which is to say, once pure Chakra comes in contact with these Golden Flames, these flames violently react and engulf that source itself.
As a result, the Chakra source will be instantly consumed, which is extremely dangerous!
Not wanting to take the risk of getting touched by those flames, Kuroto instantly dispelled the Golden Sword, then collected all the Truth-Seeking balls in his right hand, to which he further injected the Tenseigan Chakra and then shouted, "Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
Instantly, an extremely violent silver storm spewed out of Kuroto's hand.
The raging winds of the violent silver hurricane filled the interior of Ryota's Susanoo, in just a short time and blew away the Golden Flames.
"But… tch, damn it!"
Even Ryota who was standing in the diamond cavity on the forehead of the Susanoo was blown away by the hurricane and its wings were ridden with holes at this moment.
Boom…
The huge Susanoo that could no longer stay in the sky lost control and fell on the sea past the mountain cliff.
As the huge body of Susanoo fell into the sea, it set off a huge wave, and the wave swept past the mountainous coast.
Fortunately, enough, there was no house near the coast.
The reason why Kuroto chose the Land of Tea as a battlefield because he knows that the Land of Tea is pretty isolated and the chances of people of shinobi interfering with the fight will be extremely less, so Kuroto would not have to worry about being discovered by anyone.
Gurgle… Gurgle…
With the Susanoo falling into the sea, the water poured into the hole, and soon enough the entire Susanoo was seemingly submerged into the sea.
Even the golden flames that were again lit because of Ryota's chakra, although did not extinguish, were still weakened.
On Kuroto's side, because of the Tenseigan, his vision was not at all hindered by all the rising steam that was starting to cover the battlefield along with the dust, and smoke.
Seeing that the Susanoo was starting to submerge into the water, Kuroto stopped the Silver Tornado and again drew his right hand as the Gold Sword reemerged in his hand.
And without even waiting for a second to pass, Kuroto waved the sword.
Whoosh…
The Bright Golden Chakra Sword, drew a shining arc, leaving a conspicuous halo wherever it passed and cut-off everything in its path with ease.
And soon it ran across the head of Ryota's Susanoo, and without even the slightest of effort, the sword easily cut-off that head.
Now Kuroto used Rein Wheel Pull to pull out Uchiha Ryota from the broken Susanoo, and smashed him on the other side of the shore.
Boom…
With a muffled noise, Ryota, who was thrown by Kuroto smashed violently on the side of the shore.
Cough-cough… Cough-cough… Cough-cough…!
Ryota was coughing violently, at this point it was getting hard for him to breathe, his cells have deteriorated very badly and it is very hard for him to even stay alive for a few more minutes.
Staring at Kuroto who had an indifferent look, as if nothing went beyond his expectation during the entire battle, Ryota chuckled, "You… are a monster… you know that? And just what kind of ninjutsu do you use, all of them… all of them…!"
Kuroto did not answer Ryota's question, although he still had that indifferent look, he was actually panting for breath, after all, using Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion and Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion simultaneously with such power is also a bit difficult for him, so obviously he was also a bit drained in this battle.
After all, he went as far as to use seven Truth-Seeking Orbs in both the techniques, so obviously there is some exhaustion!
Ryota didn't really expect any answer from Kuroto at this point, but he went on to say, "You know, I was able to notice that…"
Kuroto did not care what Ryota wanted to say, so he continued ignoring Ryota's words, and as soon as he recovered his breath, he immediately crouched down and took out the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan from Ryota's eye sockets.
Ryota obviously did not resist, he knew that this was inevitable, moreover, he was unable to stop Kuroto, both because of the other person's strength, his own weakness, and tiredness, but most of all, because of that curse tag buried in his heart.
After losing his eyes, Ryota kept asking, "Tell me, why did I lose? Was it just because you were too strong?"
Kuroto put the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan inside a small nutrition tank, deactivated the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, and then spoke, "I have nothing to speak, even before the battle started I repeatedly told you that you have no chance of winning, yet you wanted to experience the painful defeat, and that's what you are getting."
Ryota nodded, then again said, "You are right! But that is not the answer to my question."
Kuroto sighed and spoke, "Unfortunately, this is shinobi world, a world where even the dead are unable to keep the secrets buried, as such I am not going to speak anything that I do not want to."
Ryota sighed, "Maybe you are right?"
Kuroto looked at the tears mixed with blood coming out of Ryota's hollow eye sockets, he sighed and after groaning a little, Kuroto spoke, "Although I won't be telling you anything about my powers, what I can tell you is that the strength you displayed in this battle even with that half mutilated body of yours, I can most definitely say that your overall strength has far surpassed the level of a Kage, in fact, you have reached the level of a Super Kage, although you are not as strong as Uchiha Madara, and Shodaime-Sama, you are still one of the strongest shinobi to have lived in the shinobi world.
The defensive power of your Susanoo and those Golden Flames makes you extremely strong, and I can guarantee that very few people in the shinobi world, whether dead or alive ever reached your level.
Unfortunately for you, no one will ever come to know of your strength."
"So, you are telling me that it's not that I am too weak or powerless, but that you are too strong?" – with a wry smile, Ryota asked again, "Can you tell me your purpose for doing all this? With your strength, let alone Konoha, you can control the entire Shinobi world, no one will ever be your opponent, so why go through all this trouble? Why make me and my brother go through such a horrible experience? Why do you want Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan? You have no use for those eyes. Why go to such lengths for things that are completely meaningless to you?"

Chapter 269: Chapter – 265 Uchiha Tsukihi
Hearing Ryota's earnest questions, Kuroto was silent for a while, then said, "I promised Shisui that I would not let Uchiha Clan fade away, I don't really care if you believe what I am saying is true or not, but part of the reasons I did all this has something to do with saving the Uchiha Clan."
Ryota was taken aback, and after understanding some things he seemed a little lost.
Kuroto said, "Uchiha Clan's plans of Coup d'état are destined to fail, the chief combatants that your clan hopes to rely on during the rebellion are strictly opposed to the idea of Coup, be that Shisui or Itachi, and even if by some miracle your clan succeeds in starting the rebellion, it will completely destroy Konoha and the other villages will not let miss such a chance, thus the entire shinobi continent will be engulfed into the flames of war causing too much destruction and death, and I am really not interested in such a thing becoming a reality…"
Ryota said in a deep voice, "As long as the entire Uchiha Clan is united, nobody in the entire shinobi world will ever be able to harm the Uchiha Clan!"
"Maybe, you are right." – Kuroto nodded, then said, "But the reality is not as you hope, the entire Uchiha Clan does not support your cause, there are people who secretly oppose the Coup, and the radicals of your clan are pushing them; putting pressure on them that they must support the clan, so inevitably what you people are doing is actually more damage to your clan."
Ryota was silent for a while then said, "So what do you expect the Uchiha Clan should do?"
Kuroto said, "To be honest, I don't know, but I do know that Coup is not the way, perhaps a change?"
Ryota frowned, "Change? What kind of change?"
"I… I don't know, to be honest, I'll figure out these things because I promised Shisui to not let the Uchiha Clan be destroyed, and that's what I will do."
The reasons for the destruction of the Uchiha Clan are many, there is Danzo inside the village then there is Obito outside, so Kuroto has no perfect method to solve this issue for now, but maybe he will have one in the future.
After a long silence, Ryota said with a bitter tone, "I hope so."
Speaking so, Ryota lifted his hand which held a Kunai, and directly pierced his heart, ending his life here.
For a few seconds, Kuroto kept his silence and after noticing that all signs of life disappeared, Kuroto murmured, "There is one more thing that I have not told you, although Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is the highest level of dojutsu that an Uchiha can have with just his Yin chakra, it is still not the end as there are other higher forms of dojutsu that Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan can evolve into if the right conditions are met."
…
Two days later, inside a cave in the Land of Rain.
Poof…
As the white smoke cleared, the tiger-striped Kasai appeared before Uchiha Shinichi.
Looking at the familiar cat that was now wounded and wrapped up in bandages, Shinichi frowned, "Hey, how come you got all these injuries?"
As soon as Shinichi asked, the cat started to cry waterfall tears and said, "Uwaaahhhh, tiger-stripes don't work every time, they were unable to fool the hound dogs…. and… and…"
Shinichi sighed, "Alright-alright, first stop wiping away your snot on my clothes, second, you are pretty stupid for trying to fool a hound dog… "
"But… but… you said that if I were to have tiger markings, I would look very intimidating…"
"I was just joking buddy, getting some marking doesn't change the fact that you are still a cat."
"Then what do you think I should do?"
"Firstly, you should give me the scrolls sent by him, and as for the second you should take a holiday to recover."
As soon as Shinichi said this, the cat extended his paws and asked, "Meow, if you say so, then give me two thousand Ryo for the scroll!"
Shinichi's eyes widened as soon as the cat asked the money, "Why have you raised the price? And how much are you charging from him?"
Kasai said in the most natural tone, "I wanted to settle for three thousand Ryo, but he didn't agree, finally we reached an agreement at two thousand Ryo. Here I am doing the work while injured so obviously the fees will be doubled, meow!"
"If I did not know any better, I would have certainly thought that all your injuries are your new rip-off schemes, greedy cat!"
As soon as Shinichi said this, all the hair on the cat stood up and sweat started to come out, "Ahahahaha… w-what are you talking about? I… I… I am surprised that you know such humor… anyway, give me the bills fast, I have to go, m… my wounds have suddenly started to ache!"
Shinichi narrowed his eyes as soon as he saw the sudden change in the behavior of the cat.
The two thousand Ryo bills he had in his hands were stopped midway.
But the greedy cat realized that Shinichi seems to have noticed something and suddenly snatched the two bills, threw the scroll towards Shinichi, and disappeared into a cloud of smoke.
"Sigh, this Fu**ing greedy cat!" – muttered Shinichi helplessly.
Shinichi shook his head and unlocked the scroll with the specific hand seals preselected by them, and after he unfolded the scroll sent to him by the Kuroto, and just as he read the contents of the scroll, Shinichi can't help but frown, "Why in the hell is he asking for this?"
The scroll sent by Kuroto recorded only one sentence, 'Go to the border of Land of Fire and Land of Rain, meet the person sent by me and take that person to the ritual ceremony hosted by Hiruko.'
"Is he out of his mind? Why in the hell would he want such a thing, has he finally gone insane? Or does he think that the ritual ceremony will be a firework show that anyone can watch if they want to?"
No matter how much he thinks, Shinichi can't understand why Kuroto would order such a thing.
This is because Akatsuki is an organization that even he as a member of the organization, has to be very vigilant about, and Kuroto should know this better than him, so why in the hell would he suddenly ask for such a thing?
As far as Shinichi knows, Kuroto is the kind of person who has always preferred to work in secrecy, so then why this sudden outrageous move which can destroy everything they have done to infiltrate Akatsuki?
Is that ritual so important?
No matter what Shinichi thought about this absurd order, Shinichi still decided to put his trust in Kuroto and decided to go to the location marked in the map he received with the scroll.
Shinichi would obviously measure out if the person sent by Kuroto is up to the task, and then decide if he will bring him to the ritual site, but if the person is not up to the task, then Shinichi would obviously not bring an incompetent person with him to a site that would be filled with the main Akatsuki members!
…
Three days later.
With intervals of travel and rest for the past three days, Shinichi finally arrived at the location marked in the map sent by Kuroto.
This is the border of Land of Fire and Land of Rain, when one looks around the place is filled with lush green vegetation and dense forests along with the continuous rain from the dark rain clouds.
As soon as he traveled a little more, the rain stopped and the sky cleared, Shinichi took off his rain gear which consisted of a raincoat and the Bamboo Hat while slandering inwardly, 'The Land of Rain is really an unsuitable place for people to live comfortably!'
Shinichi has always felt that the gloomy rain of the Land of Rain is really depressing, it is as if the country itself is crying for the people of the land of rain, and Shinichi really hates staying in the Land of Rain!
While Shinichi was getting over his depressed mood, he suddenly looked towards the distance and noticed a figure of a person slowly walking towards him.
A while later, the figure finally stood opposite Shinichi.
Looking at the person standing before him, Shinichi had a thoughtful look.
The other party is a girl, her age is around fifteen to sixteen years old from what Shinichi can judge, but what highlights about her is her unusually beautiful yet cold appearance, indifferently noble temperament, and distinguished aura.
By looks, she is a fair-skinned girl with sharp eyes, long flowing black hair that reached down to her lower back, and were currently tied in a ponytail, she wore a short white kimono with long sleeve, the white kimono had black flower prints with a black obi tied over, coupled with black full-length stockings, white bandages wrapped from the ankle up to the knees, a pair of black shinobi sandals, and a long Katana strapped around her waist.
Shinichi was sure that he has never seen her in his life, but he didn't know why he faintly felt that the Kunoichi standing in front of him was familiar, as if he had known her a long time ago.
'Weird, why do I feel that I know who she is when this is clearly the first time, I am seeing her?'
Shinichi stopped thinking and questioned, "So, who are you and what are you doing here?"
The Kunoichi replied calmly. "I am the person you are supposed to take to the place of the ritual."
Shinichi said coldly, "And why should I trust you?"
The Kunoichi was not at all affected by Shinichi's cold tone, and calmly replied, "You don't need to trust me, all you need to do is to follow Kuroto-sama's instruction."
The fact that the other party mentioned Hyuga Kuroto's name, reduced Shinichi's suspicions, and he immediately asked, "And what is your name? And why does he want you to be present during the Hiruko's ritual?"
"My name…? I am… I am Uchiha Tsukihi." – after a pause, Tsukihi continued, "As for why Kuroto-sama wanted me to observe Hiruko's ritual ceremony, it is because he is very interested in that experiment."
"Uchiha Tsukihi!?" – Shinichi didn't seem to hear Tsukihi's next words as soon as he heard the name 'Uchiha Tsukihi,' Shinichi instantly activated his Sharingan and said coldly, "Care to repeat your name again?"
"Uchiha Tsukihi." – Tsukihi stated as a matter of fact.
"Are you sure you want to lie to me? I am also an Uchiha, and the last time I checked, I don't seem to know you, so who are you?" – Shinichi said coldly as he suddenly raised his hand and held Tsukihi by the neck, raising her above the ground, and spoke, "I suggest that you use the next ten seconds very carefully, because if I am not satisfied with what you have to say in your defense, then you will be dead!"
The Kunoichi who was held by the neck did not panic as expected, nor did she speak anything in her defense, and just when Shinichi was about to put strength in his arm to break off her neck, her onyx black pupils changed into scarlet ones with three tomoe spinning in them.
