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!"
