Chapter 314: Chapter – 310 Discussion with Kakashi
On the way to his home, Kuroto thought, 'Compared to Shisui, Itachi is really more cautious.'
During their conversation, Itachi revealed his Mangekyou Sharingan, and even if Kuroto is the only person he has revealed this secret to, and even if Itachi is willing to completely trust Kuroto. He still did not mention his Mangekyou Sharingan abilities at first.
It was only after Kuroto asked Itachi about the description of the battle between him and Oto Yumie that Itachi briefly mentioned Amaterasu, as for the other technique he still chose to remain silent.
And this is a very good thing, and Kuroto is also the same.
No matter how trusted one person is, Kuroto will never reveal all his cards to others.
One should never reveal all their cards even to their trusted individuals because trust is both precious and fragile at the same time. Moreover, this matter is not even about trust, it's more about reassurance and cautiousness.
Even if the people you trust do not want to betray you and do not want to give away intelligence on your abilities, there are countless methods others can utilize to get their hands on that intelligence. Hostage-taking, Mind Control, et cetera are just a few of the known methods. So, it's always best to keep your secrets to yourself.
Not long after, Kuroto returned to his home.
At this time, Taruho returned the Ryuumyaku Gourd Artifact, then knelt before Kuroto, and spoke, "I am very grateful for everything that you have done for us, Kuroto-sama!"
Kuroto nodded, and after taking the Gourd in his hands, he sensed that the remnant spirit of Miko-sama that was staying within the Gourd was no longer there, which means that, "Miko-sama, she…"
Taruho nodded sadly, as a trickle of tear escaped his eyes, which he wiped away instantly.
This meant that after her last conversation with her daughter, Miko-sama's spirit body collapsed and she finally departed from this world to the afterlife.
Kuroto was silent, he tied back the gourd around his waist, then asked after a while, "Where is Shion-chan?"
Taruho replied, "After seeing Miko-sama, Shion-sama cried a lot and just fell asleep."
Kuroto nodded and immediately took out the bell artifact Miko-sama gave to him, and said, "Miko-sama should have mentioned this bell to Shion-chan, give this to her, and instruct her to always keep it close to her. This bell will seal Shion's power, as well as also protect her from Moryo, and Shinno, neither of them would be able to sense her position."
Taruho quickly took the bell from Kuroto's hands, with a nod, "Yes, I will pass this on to Shion-sama!"
Kuroto asked again, "With that out of the way, tell me Taruho-Kun, what are your plans now?"
Taruho said without any hesitation, "As per Miko-sama's instructions, everything is subject to your arrangements, Kuroto-sama."
Kuroto nodded, "Alright then let's do it this way. For the time being both of you will live in my house until Shinno's threat is resolved." – After a pause, Kuroto continued, "As for Shion's education, I will await for Sandaime-sama's instructions, but one thing is decided, which is that next year Shion will enroll in the ninja academy."
Although Yomi was killed by Kuroto, Shinno is still there who has swallowed Moryo's power and will definitely come after Shion again, and given the fact that an entire Akatsuki is standing behind Shinno, Shion's safety is obviously not assured.
There is obviously no point in sending both of them back to the Land of Demons, as that country is almost destroyed so there is nothing left there. So Shion will be living in Konoha closer to him that way he would be able to better protect her.
As for the reason why Kuroto intends to enroll her into the ninja academy, this decision was also made after careful consideration because of various reasons.
First is that Konoha's ninja academy is undoubtedly the best compared to the education system of other villages, aside from teaching basics of Shinobi training, there are also a lot of extracurricular and cultural classes that have been designed to cultivate the character of their Shinobi.
So, this will save a lot of trouble for Kuroto to personally educate Shion about various things that she can learn from the academy.
The second reason is that Shion must learn to control her powers, so she definitely needs a strong foundation, there is also a need for companionship, which she will make at the academy.
The third is that Shion is heir to the throne of Miko of the Land of Demons. So, it is natural that Sandaime will monitor her very closely, so enrolling her into the academy would be the best method to dispel many of Sandaime's worries.
"One more thing, I will have Yui instruct Shion-chan in etiquette and other teachings, like 'Flower Arrangement,' 'Tea Ceremony,' 'Calligraphy,' 'Classical Dance' etc that a woman of her status must be proficient in, so make sure that Shion-chan is prepared for everything, understand?" – Kuroto said.
Taruho nodded.
After instructing a few more things, Kuroto went out again. This time he bought a few flowers at the Yamanaka Flower Shop, along with some fruits, and then went to the direction of Konoha Hospital.
After confirming the ward number where Hatake Kakashi and Might Guy were admitted, Kuroto walked over.
In their hospital room, Guy put one hand which was plastered behind his back, and was doing one-hand push-ups.
While Kakashi was lying on the bed flipping the pages of a certain book.
Kuroto put the fruit basket on the side bench, and asked, "So, un, how are both of you?"
"997… 998… 999… 1000!" – As soon as he completed a thousand pushups, Guy immediately jumped up, and while waving his hand excitedly he said, "Do not worry Kuroto, such meager injuries would never stop the flames of my youth to burn as fiercely as ever."
Kuroto nodded awkwardly, "Right."
Then Guy immediately took an apple from the fruit basket and took a big bite of it.
Meanwhile, Kakashi just nodded, and after the book he was reading he said to Kuroto, "Kuroto, there is something I want to talk to you about."
Kuroto nodded, "Alright, then let's go to the rooftop!"
Soon both of them came to the rooftop.
A light wind was blowing the drying sheets. The wind was also blowing Kuroto and Kakashi's hair.
At this time, Kakashi looked at Kuroto and asked, "Kuroto, I heard from Hokage-sama that you went to the Land of Demons, so is Miko-sama still alive or…?"
Kuroto said directly, "She is dead, killed by Yomi and Shinno."
"And what about the Land of Demons?" – asked Kakashi.
"The Land of Demons is almost destroyed, most of the population of that country is dead." – added Kuroto.
Kakashi was silent, if you think about it, the destruction of Land of Demon is their team-11's responsibility. Their team was responsible for eliminating Yomi, but they failed, he should have died from Kakashi's attack, yet he did not, and now this happened.
"And what about her daughter?" – Kakashi asked.
"She is in Konoha, she was entrusted to me by Miko-sama, and she will stay here until she feels she is ready to face everything." – answered Kuroto.
Kakashi was silent, Kuroto did not say much, he knew that Kakashi was probably blaming himself for failing to eliminate Yomi at that time, but there was nothing he could have done, nobody had known what secrets Yomi had hidden within him.
After a while Kakashi sighed, then said, "As for the seal on Shisui's eyes, I take that you placed it, right? Kuroto were you aware of…?"
Kuroto nodded, "Considering who my Jonin Sensei was, there are many things I have known as such I had warned Shisui of that matter beforehand and also took the necessary precautionary measures to safeguard his Mangekyou Sharingan. After all, that technique can mess with anyone's mind, it's too dangerous if it falls into the hands of people who should not have it."
Kakashi nodded, at this time, Kakashi's expression also sharpened, and said, "By the way, this time the masked man who tried kidnapping Uzumaki Naruto was very strong, he had mastery over some type of Space-time Jutsu, as such we have to be more careful from now on!"
Kuroto nodded, he has already learned the entire story from Shisui. The fact that Obito dared to reveal himself has almost freaked out Kuroto. The progress of events has completely changed from the story, and Kuroto has no choice but to deal with the matters more cautiously.
"So, what are the next arrangements of Uzumaki Naruto's protection?" – asked Kuroto.
Kakashi sighed, "It hasn't been decided yet, because of our injury, Uzumaki Naruto is under the protection of Hokage Guards, but that will soon change… regardless of the approach that Sandaime-sama deploys, the identity of Naruto being the Jinchuriki of Kyuubi has become Akatsuki's knowledge, and it would be best to assume that Amatsukami too is aware of this information!"

Chapter 315: Chapter – 311 Visiting Orochimaru
After leaving the Konoha Hospital, Kuroto strolled on the streets.
Because several blocks have to be rebuilt, Konoha at this time has become a large construction site again, and the streets are full of carts transporting building materials.
Fortunately, Sandaime-sama issued an emergency on that night and evacuated most of the villagers so even though a lot of buildings were destroyed, the casualty count was still quite less.
Of course, Kuroto also played a large part in resolving Shinno's threat, otherwise, even if the villagers were evacuated, there is a high possibility that they wouldn't have been able to escape the pursuit of the Ghost Army.
With these thoughts in his mind, Kuroto quietly came to his secret laboratory.
To be honest, Hiruko's success in the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual about ten years earlier than it was supposed to happen has really disrupted all of Kuroto's plans, making him feel exhausted and troubled for the past few months.
And what worries him more is that as Hiruko's strength and fame rise more and more, people all over the shinobi world will also try to get their hands on Chimera Technique, because the potential of Chimera Technique if succeeds is too high, so no one will deny that this technique is really capable of changing the Shinobi World.
"I have to obtain this Chimera Technique as soon as possible!"
Initially, Kuroto was not in a hurry, because there was always Shinno who would be willing to sell this technique to Shinichi or someone else with enough of a price.
But since Kuroto as 'Uchiha Tsukihi' disrupted Shinno's plan of swallowing Shion, as well as injured Shinno quite a lot, so Shinno would be unwilling to sell Chimera Technique to Shinichi, because it was Shinichi's subordinate who disrupted his plans.
As such this direct channel is obviously not going to work.
"I still have that one option, but it would be best to visit Orochimaru prior to that, firstly I will be able to confirm his state before commencing that plan, and maybe try to see if Orochimaru is willing to give Chimera Technique to me at a low price" – muttered Kuroto.
After making up his mind, Kuroto created a Shadow Clone to cover for his absence and then secretly left the village.
…
Two days later, Land of Sound.
Kuroto was walking through a dense forest of the Land of Sound.
At this moment, Yakushi Kabuto came out from behind a tree, and after greeting Kuroto, he said, "Orochimaru-sama is waiting for Kuroto senpai, please follow me."
Kuroto nodded, and then followed Kabuto.
Not long after Kuroto was in the underground laboratory of Orochimaru, and saw Orochimaru sitting on a stone chair with bandages wrapped all over his body.
Although Kuroto did not activate his Byakugan, it did not stop him to sense the strangeness within Orochimaru. Kuroto was able to sense the presence of some sort of discomfort within Orochimaru's body.
This kind of feeling may have been difficult for others to detect, but not for Kuroto, as he is already very familiar with the soul and body. Whenever there is aversion between body and soul such a feeling of discomfort arrives.
'It seems Orochimaru has suffered more than I expected!' – thought Kuroto.
"Cough-cough…" – Looking at Kuroto's thoughtful face, Orochimaru coughed to attract Kuroto's attention and said in a hoarse voice, "Kuroto-kun, I wonder why you suddenly decided to pay me a visit?"
Kuroto asked tentatively, "What happened to your body?"
Orochimaru chuckled, "Sigh, the kid from Uchiha Clan is the cause."
Although Orochimaru seems to laugh it off as something casual, Kuroto, however, was able to sense Orochimaru's gloomy aura when he said so.
"Uchiha Itachi, huh…?" – after a pause, Kuroto Said, "He is obviously not an ordinary Uchiha."
Kuroto's words seemed to bring back some painful memories, and an indescribable expression flashed in Orochimaru's eyes. But this expression was fleeting and soon disappeared.
At this time, Orochimaru asked, "I wonder why you suddenly came here?"
Kuroto directly expressed his reason, "For Chimera Jutsu!"
Orochimaru said with a smile, "I shouldn't be surprised, you came to look for me in such a hurry, it must have been for the Chimera Technique."
There was no need to hide his intentions, and Kuroto nodded with a smile, "So, you have it, right?"
As far as Kuroto understands Orochimaru, it is obvious for Orochimaru to have it. Even if Orochimaru disdains Hiruko he wouldn't mind getting his hands on a magical technique like the Chimera Technique which is capable of plundering others' Kekkei Genkai.
This fact can be clearly highlighted from Orochimaru's actions, when he personally went to observe Hiruko's ritual, even if as a woman.
Orochimaru weighed Kuroto's words, then said, "Right, I do have the original version of Chimera Technique, but I have to warn you that the success of Hiruko in plundering other's Kekkei Genkai is not solely because of this technique, other techniques were also involved."
Although Kuroto knows this, he still asked curiously, "He also developed other Kinjutsu to help him?"
Orochimaru shook his head contemptuously, "No, being able to create something like Chimera Technique took most of his time so I don't think he had enough energy left to develop other Kinjutsu. Hehehe… I also heard that he lost to old man this time even after succeeding in his ritual, which is ridiculous…" – After mocking until here, Orochimaru continued, "He was able to survive until the end and complete the ritual because of two other Kinjutsu, one of them being Secret Technique of Physical Regeneration which he got from Shinno while the other being, Dark Medical Ninjutsu that he obtained from someone named Yomi from Land of Demons."
Kuroto thought, 'Hiruko used both the Techniques? I thought it was only Dark Medical Ninjutsu, but it appears that I was wrong…'
After pondering a little, Kuroto asked, "What price do I have to pay to get 'Chimera Technique' as well as 'Dark Medical Ninjutsu'?"
…
Meanwhile in the Land of Rain, at Amegakure, inside Akatsuki's Base.
Tendo Pain looked into the distant sky and asked, "So, the objective was a failure this time?"
Madara shrugged helplessly.
Pain said indifferently, "Stop doing such meaningless actions."
In Tendo Pain's eyes, the actions of Madara to induce civil strife in Konoha are all meaningless. Pain's philosophy is pretty simple, that is, to suppress all forms of dissatisfaction and conflicts with absolute strength, pain, and fear. Only when people experience's others' pain can they ever hope to understand other's pain and only then will peace prevail over war.
Madara didn't answer Pain's words, instead, he said, "Shinno is hiding something, for that 'something' he decided to carry out unauthorized actions which exposed him to the people of Konoha and gave away the presence of the third party, so overall, it was because of his actions that the plan failed."
Pain frowned, and said, "I will have Hiruko investigate him."
When Hiruko was mentioned, Madara thought a little and said, "Hiruko seriously lacks in combat experience, you would better send him to perform some tasks, the way he lost this time was too ridiculous… I don't want to see his potential being wasted."
Standing at the top of the Rain tower, Pain lifted both of his hands and said, "It does not matter, soon Gedo Mazo will be ready, and we can finally start collecting the nine Bijuu… once Juubi is resurrected nothing will stop Akatsuki from bringing peace to the Shinobi World."
Madara reminded, "Do not forget Amatsukami, they have remained silent for a while now, and I wouldn't be surprised if they act suddenly… they have already declared that their next goals are the nine Bijuu, we will need as much manpower as we can to deal with Amatsukami."
