Chapter 383: Chapter – 378 Anbu Team-11’s Dissolution
"Don't worry… It will only be for a short while…" – said Kuroto upon noticing Shisui's complicated mood.
Shisui was confused, and asked, "Kuroto-san… there is no source for me to acquire Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan… so what do you mean when you say 'it will be only for a short while?"
After a little bit of thought, Kuroto explained another method of acquiring a permanent Mangekyou Sharingan… that is through Hashirama Cell Transplantation, along with its other benefits as well as corresponding risks to Shisui.
Shisui was silent upon hearing this, then questioned, "Is it really possible to gain permanent Mangekyou Sharingan after transplanting Shodaime-sama's cells?"
Kuroto nodded, "Theoretically it is possible…" – but Kuroto did not guarantee it.
After pondering for a while, Shisui asked, "And what is the rate of success?"
After understanding the benefits and risks involving Hashirama Cell Transplantation, Shisui's concerned about the success rate.
Kuroto replied, "For an Uchiha, especially an Uchiha who has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, I would say that the success rate is high as fifty to sixty percent… this is because the Yin Chakra in Uchiha's Sharingan can help in keeping the Yang Chakra of Shodaime-sama's cells in check."
Hearing Kuroto's assurance, Shisui had some hope on his face.
As they say; 'A drowning man will grasp at a straw'.
No one wants to be a blind man for the rest of his life, especially someone like Uchiha Shisui who has a very strong sense of responsibility for his clan and village.
Kuroto continued, "And this probability will further increase, the higher the ocular power is…"
This has been clearly proven by Madara, his Ocular Power was very-very high, and he transplanted Hashirama cells very easily, without any backlash.
Kuroto has even checked the previous records of Hashirama Cell transplantation that the village conducted from the Archives stored in the Forbidden Sections, and according to the data, Kuroto can confirm that in the previous Hashirama Cell transplantation experiments conducted by the village, no Uchiha shinobi was a subject, the majority of subjects were the volunteers of the Senju Clan, some Uzumaki were also there, but no Uchiha.
This is probably because the village authorities feared that if someone from Uchiha Clan awakened Mokuton, then suppressing Uchiha Clan will become impossible.
Moreover, the arrogance of the Uchiha Clan wouldn't allow them to volunteer to participate in the experiments involving the transplantation of Shodaime Hokage's cells. Because if they do participate, then they would be admitting that Sharingan is inferior in comparison to Mokuton… otherwise, why else would an Uchiha already having Sharingan will risk his life by participating in an experiment with a zero percent success record.
Shisui nodded, and said, "Kuroto-san… I... am willing to take the risk if it will help me regain light."
Kuroto said, "Don't be too hasty… the success rate of cell transplantation is indeed high, but you must not forget that I have very little knowledge or experience when it comes to dealing with Shodaime-sama's cells… therefore, take your time and think about it for the next few days, then give me an answer."
Shisui shook his head and said with absolute seriousness, "I am partially responsible for the losses the village has suffered, in such a scenario, if I can't even be of use to the village; if I can't even help the village resist the enemy, then I would never be able to forgive myself, I would rather die trying, then live with such a guilt…"
Looking at Shisui's resolved expression, Kuroto sighed, 'Convincing him seems to be impossible.' – shaking his head helplessly, Kuroto said, "Alright, if you are so resolved then I will start the preparation… but the preparation itself will take quite some time because there are a lot of testing required. I will match the adaptability of your cells with Shodaime-sama's cells… so give me some time."
Shisui nodded, "Okay."
Then Kuroto asked, "Now tell me which division have you been transferred to?"
There have been several changes, one of which is the dissolution of the Anbu team-11, all four members of Team-11 have been transferred.
Shisui said, "Special Tactics Division – 4, I am the Captain of Division-4."
Kuroto nodded, then asked again, "Division - 4? And who is the target?"
Although, the raid resulted in failure, however, a lot of intelligence was obtained, and therefore, special tactical divisions have been created. Each division has been created while keeping in mind the abilities of their target and possible counters to it.
Kuroto does know that both Kakashi and Shisui have been transferred to special divisions, but which special division, the identities of the specific members of the team, and who is the specific target is unknown to him. This information is only known to the specific member of the division and Hokage-sama. Not even the members of the elders are aware of this information. This measure was taken to eliminate all the possibilities of intelligence leakage from any source.
Shisui said, "Target of our team is Hiruko."
Kuroto nodded, then questioned, "Hmm? Hiruko… I guess I understand the reason… Tell me the composition of your team."
Shisui answered, "Other than me, there are three more members in Division-4.
First is Yamanaka Santa, a Jonin from Yamanaka Clan. He is very apt with Yamanaka Clan Jutsu, good at Taijutsu, is an extremely proficient sensor-nin, and also has some degree of knowledge of Iryo Ninjutsu, additionally, he also has a mastery of Futon…
Second is Sarutobi Asai, a Jonin from Sarutobi Clan, he is proficient in Katon, and Raiton, but his specialty is Fuinjutsu, Juinjutsu, and Kenjutsu… he is also a sensor-nin, so that's a plus point.
Then the third is a former member of the Root subdivision, he calls himself Rai, his strength easily reaches the level of a Jonin, he is a skilled Kenjutsu user as well as a master of using many weapons. He also has a variety of Kuchiyose at his disposal. And these Kuchiyose can spit out different types of fluids, that being, glue, acids, slimes, poisons, oils et cetera. The good thing is that these are naturally produced body fluids, so they cannot be absorbed by Hiruko using his Meiton."
After hearing the description of the three, Kuroto nodded, "Hmm, the division-4 is strong enough, and covers all aspects of battle… With this team, it might even be possible to kill Hiruko."
In the entire village, perhaps only Shisui (other than Kuroto), has the speed to match Hiruko's Jinton, coupled with the insight of his Mangekyou Sharingan, Shisui can easily keep up with Hiruko's movements, therefore, Shisui is perhaps the best candidate to target Hiruko. Then adding the support of the team, it might be possible for him to indeed kill Hiruko.
Shisui nodded, "The team assigned by Hokage-sama to me is indeed good."
Kuroto said with a serious expression, "But still, be vigilant of this Rai person. If he is a former member of the Root subdivision, then his loyalty is directed towards Danzo… I suggest you keep him under a Genjutsu, also temper with 'Zekka Konzetsu no In' (Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal) on his tongue, I will give you the scroll of this Juinjutsu… or you can also use any other measure that you can think of but make sure that he does not betray you to Shimura Danzo.
From his previous failed attempt, Shimura Danzo is already aware of the Fuinjutsu I have used on your Mangekyou Sharingan, he may not understand what exactly that Fuinjutsu does, but he might try to steal your Mangekyou Sharingan, and in no way do I want that to happen."
Shisui nodded, the last time Shimura Danzo did try to steal his Mangekyou Sharingan, although nothing major punishment was given to him because of the implication Shisui had upon him at that time. And because Shisui was unconscious at that time, therefore, he was unable to say anything either
Later when he regained consciousness, Shisui decided to not reveal Shimura Danzo being able to use Izanagi, there was a reason behind it and that was…
"So, um… Kuroto-san you mentioned that you plan to deal with him… when do you plan to do so, and how do you plan to do so?" – Shisui asked with a bit of hesitation.
Kuroto said in a vague manner, "Very soon… I have one use of him… after that, he will be dealt with."
Shisui was silent, he did have some thoughts but chose not to speak them.
Kuroto is both a friend, an elder brother-like existence, as well as the person Shisui has sworn his loyalty to. Kuroto's wish is his command, and if Kuroto plans to deal with Shimura Danzo, then even if Shisui has some thoughts, he will keep them to himself and follow the order.
At this time, Kuroto questioned, "And do you have any information of who is Kakashi's target?"
However, Shisui shook his head, "No, only Kakashi-san knows that…"
Kuroto nodded, "Understandable."
Out of all the members of Akatsuki, Kuroto can only think of one person who can be Kakashi's team's target, and that is definitely Tobi/Obito/'Madara'. Simply because Kakashi can also use Kamui, so it makes sense. As for whether Kakashi has given this information to Hokage-sama, or whether he, himself is aware of this or not, Kuroto has no idea… Only, Kakashi and Hokage-sama can know the answer to it.
Kuroto muttered, "And since Guy is promoted to a Jonin, so he is not targeting anyone specific… he will become a Jonin commander."
Shisui nodded, then asked, "What about you Kuroto-san?"
Kuroto said with a bitter smile, "Well, I have yet to meet my team, all of them were out on different missions and will be assembled 2 days later. Till then I am sort of free. But the thing is, my team will not be specifically targeting any member of Akatsuki or Amatsukami… My team will most likely have completely different duties."
Shisui had a frown, "Most likely, meaning you are not sure?"
Kuroto nodded and continued, "I am not so sure. What I do know is that the Anbu team I will be in charge of is called Team Ro…"
"Team Ro…?" – Shisui muttered.

Chapter 384: Chapter – 379 A short Chapter
"Team Ro…? – Shisui muttered thoughtfully.
Kuroto nodded.
In the original story, Team Ro was an elite or perhaps the most elite Anbu Unit of Konoha. It housed some of the best Konoha Anbu of that time including Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Itachi, Tenzo/Yamato, Yugao Uzuki et cetera.
Hatake Kakashi was the captain of Team Ro, and after Kakashi officially left the Anbu, it was probably Tenzo who took on that role.
But here these roles have changed, Kakashi and Shisui have become part of Special Tactical Forces, while Kuroto has become the captain of Team Ro.
As for who will be the members of Team Ro? Kuroto doesn't know that yet, but considering that they are going to be part of Team Ro, Kuroto does hope that they are some talented shinobi, otherwise, it will be really hard for him to keep that team alive.
Anyway, becoming the Leader of Team Ro also puts him a step closer to becoming the Hokage.
At this time Shisui asked, "Kuroto-san do you think the various divisions that are being created to specifically target Akatsuki members will be effective?"
Kuroto said, "Without knowing the accurate composition of teams, it is really hard for me to judge, but I don't really think that they will be much effective, sure teamwork and targeted strategies might prove to be effective, but when it comes to the matter of showing significant result, the chances are quite less, because, in the face of absolute power, strategies, preparations, planning, tricks, teamwork, along with other similar things are all pretty meaningless."
This is a hard and proven fact. Just take Uchiha Madara's example, everything was useless in the face of Uchiha Madara's power after he became the Jinchuriki of Juubi. If it hadn't been for Kuro Zetsu, the entire Shinobi world would have been covered in an eternal Genjutsu.
Moreover, even if these targeted strategies are being created, the enemy too is getting stronger and figuring out tactics they can use to deal with us, so making a guess over such a thing is very difficult.
Kuroto himself is a little worried about this because many of his Jutsu has been exposed. Others may not perfectly understand them, but Kuro Zetsu should understand them well enough. Although, Kuroto doesn't think that Kuro Zetsu would give out that knowledge so easily, you never know. If Kuro Zetsu starts to feel desperate in the face of Amatsukami's strength, then he might start spitting out all the intelligence he has.
And even if Akatsuki does not perfectly understand his Jutsu, it won't stop them from making various strategies.
Kuroto thought, 'I do hope that Shinichi will be able to provide me with some sort of useful intelligence.'
The timeline of this world has completely shifted from the canon version of the shinobi world, and with this complete deviation, much of Kuroto's knowledge of the plot has become rather useless, as such Shinichi's importance as a spy in Akatsuki is more than ever.
Whether Nagato has really transplanted Hashirama Cells? Whether Nagato has succeeded? What actions are being planned by Obito? What will be Akatsuki's next move in response to tri-Alliance? Which members of the organization will be going after which Bijuu? Who will be their next recruit? Where is Akatsuki's new hideout?
Shinichi is the source of all this information.
But the thing is, Shinichi hasn't contacted Kuroto for quite a while now. It is possible that he has been too busy… or maybe because the entire organization has been collected at the same place that he has been unable to contact him in other's presence.
There is also a possibility that Shinichi's cover is blown and he is been eliminated, so Kuroto is also worried about that.
If Shinichi's is eliminated then that source of inside information will be gone, and if that happens, Kuroto can only have Itachi play the role.
Seeing Kuroto lost in thought, Shisui said, "Does that mean it will all be a wasted effort?"
Kuroto said, "Regardless of whether they work or not, Amatsukami will have to make their own side preparations…"
And Shisui nodded, "Alright I will keep that in mind. if there is nothing more to discuss, I will be taking my leave…"
Kuroto nodded, and with that Shisui disappeared from the room.
After Shisui had gone Kuroto moved to another room on the upper floor, and after making sure that no one was spying on him, as well as that Yui was still asleep, Kuroto took out a storage scroll and unsealed the contents stored inside it.
Poof…
What appeared before Kuroto was a set of sealed test tubes each of which contained a greenish liquid. These test tubes were marked from 1-A to 1-Z.
This green liquid substance inside all these sealed test tubes is processed by Hashirama Cells, each with a different potency.
'Now I have to check which of these samples have the best match with Shisui's cells.' – thought Kuroto.
The possibility of success is obviously close to zero here, this is because no one will be directing the fusion of Hashirama Cells and Shisui's cells, but even with that, the fusion sample will stay active for the most amount of time can be considered a success. This is because the Hashirama Cells in that particular sample will be most docile and easier to fuse with the body.
With the objective of finding out the most docile sample, Kuroto started to carry out the next series of preparations and tests.
