Chapter 464: Chapter – 458 Hustle
The next day, Kuroto received a letter from Itachi; and in the letter, as instructed by Kuroto, Itachi jotted down all that he can and will do should the situation become desperate enough under the assumption that all the senior members of Amatsukami are dead, while the Uchiha Clan, the Konoha Village, and the entire Shinobi World is facing the threat of Akatsuki Organization.
Kuroto read the details, crossed out some parts that involved various forms of training, then drew several circles one after another on several parts. These parts specifically marked several locations not only around the Land of Fire but also included locations from other countries spread all over the continent.
One thing, without an exception, is common about all of these locations. These are all places that have had something to do with the Uchiha Clan at some point in time during the Warring States Period before the Uchiha Clan moved to Konoha.
In the past few days, Itachi worked day and night to find, theorized, and finally jotted down these locations from the scrolls that the three read at the Naka Shrine a few days ago.
'It seems that Itachi wants to enhance his understanding of Sharingan and the roots of the Uchiha Clan from these places, it certainly is a good idea and will probably give him valuable insight into things that have been lost or ignored by the Clan. And perhaps even give him something that will help him improve his strength.' Thought Kuroto.
And it's understandable that Itachi would choose this method.
The information that we know of isn't always true, it's always manipulated, bend, and forged in a way that would benefit our way. As it's stated that the might makes right, the winners are always the righteous ones, so there is no guarantee that what they have learned in the Clan and the Village is the real truth. So, tracing back the past, the roots of the Uchiha Clan, and the Sharingan might as well be what's needed for him to figure out his path ahead.
The relics of the past can teach us a lot of things. Things that have been left out, things that were forgotten, things that were intentionally ignored, or the things that were unintentionally lost. Things that were hidden from the others, and the things that no one knows anything about, can all be learned from the past. And perhaps tracing the past of the Uchiha Clan is the only method to get the Sword of Totsuka and Yata Mirror.
"Even in the original time-space, Itachi must have done something similar. At that point, Itachi's situation was much worse than it is today, he was in a real desperate state, and had no one he could truly trust or rely on, so the relics of the past must have been his guide to forge his path ahead. And perhaps Sword of Totsuka and Yata Mirror are what he got his hands on while exploring the roots of the Uchiha Clan." Muttered Kuroto.
Itachi's complex life in the Original Time-Space is difficult to understand, his choices in life are not to be questioned. But keeping the track of his involvement in various things is quite simple. Itachi awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at the age of 12, perhaps? Then, he destroyed the Uchiha Clan when he was about 13 years old and left the Village in order to spy on Akatsuki for the village. He worked in Akatsuki for 7 to 8 years, and by the time he was 21, Itachi died of his illness at an Uchiha hideout after sealing Amaterasu in Sasuke's right eye after their battle.
Sword of Totsuka and Yata Mirror are special spiritual artifacts and require the use of Mangekyou Sharingan. So, it is very likely that Itachi acquired the two artifacts after he had left Konoha.
Kuroto again held his chin with a thoughtful expression, "Black Zetsu was watching the battle between Sasuke and Itachi, and when he saw Itachi use two artifacts, he was obviously quite surprised, which means that the Akatsuki organization had no clue about Itachi having the two artifacts in his hands."
After eliminating the possibility of Rikudo Sennin intervening and helping him, the only possible location where Itachi could have gotten his hands on the two artifacts is one of these locations.
'If I want to find the two artifacts, then I must visit all these places, these are hundreds of places, and even then, there is no hundred percent guarantee that I will find those two artifacts in either of these locations.' Kuroto couldn't reach a conclusion.
Even after thinking about, it for a very long time, Kuroto still couldn't find a solution, so he decided to put this matter aside for a few days.
After all, Shisui is still in the recovery and adaptation period. Firstly, he has to return to normal levels, then further train himself in order to understand and then adapt to the increase in his strength levels. And all this while, Kuroto wants Itachi to stay by Shisui's side, not only protect him but also help him adapt to his new strength by sparring with him.
On the other hand, Kuroto too has too much on his plate.
Firstly, Kuroto has to keep a watch over the two Wind Clones that are being cultivated, then he has to research, and further understand the Curse of the Kaguya Clan at a deeper level.
Then he has to study and understand various Kekkei Genkai related to Wind Chakra Nature. Figure out what's best suited for the Wind Nature Clone, and then learn that Kekkei Genkai too.
He has to also keep a track of all the Anbu missions team-Ro is and will be performing.
Train Gaara and Karin, this is very important. Gaara is the Jinchuriki of Shukaku, if Gaara's strength is strong enough, then capturing him would further become difficult for Akatsuki. At the same time, Karin has the potential to become the best Iryo-nin in the world, so obviously, she cannot be ignored.
Create a completely new body for Sandaime Kazekage. The threat of Akatsuki has been increasing day by day, and Kuroto needs more people who have high-level combat power. Sandaime Kazekage is a good choice for combat personnel, and if Kuroto creates a completely new and better body for him, then it is very likely that he will be able to display much higher power than his keep as the Kazekage.
At the same time, Kuroto also needs to understand Puppetry for many things.
Then comes more crucial things, Kuroto has to learn Senjutsu, this has been delayed for quite a while, but Kuroto doesn't think that he is in any position to delay this anymore, given how serious the current situation is.
And most important of all, Kuroto has to also keep an eye out for Akatsuki's revenge on Konoha.
So, overall, it wouldn't be wrong to say that Kuroto is too busy and can't possibly spend any of his personal effort in the search for Sword of Totsuka and Yata Mirror unless he has some solid clue pointing towards their exact locations.
Then there is also the fact that just because Itachi could find the clues does not mean other people can find them too. And, there is no guarantee that there won't be any repercussions along the way, so the safest approach is to let Itachi delve his efforts into finding them, as he did in the Canon.
This is why Kuroto has decided to wait until Shisui's body recovers and he gets used to his new strength, then he would make both Shisui and Itachi run around together in order for them to investigate clues about the two artifacts. When the two of them are together; as long as they don't run into Nagato, both of them should be fine.
With this objective in mind, Kuroto focused on the list of what he had to do as well and then started hustling.

Chapter 465: Chapter – 459 Sennin Mode and Failure…?
Two Weeks Later.
On one of the isolated islands somewhere in the Land of Water.
The figure of two kids, both with redheads can be seen playing along the shore, while the figure of two other people, one with brown hair and the other with purple hair can be seen a little distance away.
"Yes, that's it." – nodded Ichikishima hime as she observed the blending of Nature Energy with the inner Spiritual Energy and Physical Energy of Kuroto in a balanced 1:1:1 ratio.
"I do feel a little different compared to usual, at the same time, I am also able to sense a completely different type of Chakra." Muttered Kuroto as he sensed his current Chakra, the Senjutsu Chakra, which is different from the Tenseigan Chakra he usually uses.
"Senjutsu Chakra is basically a balanced combination of Natural Energy with your own Chakra. Since you have already been able to sense Natural Energy, and are also adapted to Natural Energy to a certain extent even before we started the Senjutsu Training, so absorbing Natural Energy was not that difficult for you, especially with Toyotama-sama residing within you, and reaching this perfect balance, as well as maintaining it is the next step for you Kuroto-sama." – explained Ichikishima hime in a guiding tone.
Senjutsu chakra is basically a balanced combination of Natural Energy, with the user's inner Spiritual Energy, and Physical Energy.
To be able to use Senjutsu Chakra, the user must be able to draw Natural Energy from Heaven and Terrain inside himself and blend it with his own Spiritual and Physical Energy to give birth to a stronger and more powerful Chakra, which is basically the Senjutsu Chakra.
"This advantage of yours has significantly shortened the time it took you to reach this perfect balance." – muttered Ichikishima hime, and continued, "I am still amazed that you have reached this level in just three weeks." And this time her tone clearly dictated her wonder as she noticed that there are no animal characteristics on Kuroto's skin, so it wouldn't be wrong to say that the Sennin mode he is using is the perfect one.
'But still, there should have been some kind of pigmentation, and that too is not available… if I hadn't known any better because of the dense Senjutsu Chakra inside Kuroto-sama, I would even think that he is not in any Sennin Mode.' Thought Ichikishima hime as she looked at Kuroto's face.
Unlike many Sennin Mode users, there is also no pigmentation of any color around the eyes of Hyuga Kuroto either, which is kind of strange in Ichikishima hime's perspective. The pigmentation around the eyes is proof of entering the Sennin Mode.
The users of Sennin Mode taught at Ryuchi cave have purple or black pigmentation around their eyes, along with vertical snake slits irides, the users of Sennin Mode taught at Mount Myoboku generally have orange, yellow, or red pigmentation around their eyes along with horizontal toad slats irides, and finally, the users of Sennin Mode taught at Shikkotsu Forest have either black or perhaps blue pigmentation around their eyes as well as rest of their bodies.
But Hyuga Kuroto has no pigmentation around his eyes, which is something new.
'Maybe it's because he did not use any external shortcut to speed up his learning.' This was Ichikishima hime's conclusion.
To increase the speed of learning, and to make it easier for the users to sense Natural Energy present in Heaven and Terrain, each of the three unexplored Sage Regions has its own methods that they use.
At Mount Myoboku, they use Toad Oil and rub it on the practitioners' skin to make it easier for them to perceive Natural energy.
At Ryuchi Cave, the three Priestesses, or the White Snake Sage herself, inject Natural Energy in the form of Snake Venom inside the body of the trainee through a snake bite. This Snake Venom allows the practitioner to directly feel Natural Energy, then try to control it.
And finally, at the Shikkotsu Forest, the practitioners' have to soak their naked bodies in the mucus secreted by Katsuyu for a very long time to be able to sense the Natural Energy.
Each of the three Sage Region has its own method and these methods allow the practitioner to slowly and steadily be able to use the Sennin Mode of the corresponding Sage Region.
Of course, these three are not the only methods to learn Senjutsu, and there are many other methods and sources, but finding them is an incredibly difficult task.
Hyuga Kuroto did not use any of the three methods. Neither did he use toad oil of Mount Myoboku, nor the Snake Venom from the Ryuchi Cave, and also not the Slug Mucus from the Shikkotsu Forest, And this is probably the reason why there are no signs of pigmentation on his face.
But this doesn't mean that there are no indications or no change in Kuroto's appearance, at least, his Byakugan which was featureless white until a few minutes ago seems to have changed and turned Golden as Senjutsu Chakra Gathered in his Dojutsu.
Kuroto was also surprised by this change, he did not expect his Byakugan to turn Golden. There is not much known about the Golden Byakugan in the Cannon, but in the Boruto series, Golden Byakugan has been displayed a few times, and all those times it was possessed by the members of the Otsutsuki Clan.
'But it seems that these Golden Byakugan that I have in the Sennin Mode are different from the ones the Otsutsuki have.' This was the thought in Kuroto's mind as he analyzed this change in his Dojutsu.
What are the exact requirements for having Golden Byakugan? And what exactly is Golden Byakugan? Kuroto doesn't have much of an idea, in fact, Kuroto isn't even sure whether the Golden Byakugan he has in the Sennin Mode is the same as the Golden Byakugan possessed by Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Otsutsuki Urashiki in the Canon, after all, their methods of the transformation of this Dojutsu are different.
Otsutsuki Momoshiki ate the Chakra of Otsutsuki Kinshiki in order to gain Golden Byakugan and the Golden Rinnegan, while Otsutsuki Urashiki ate the Chakra of his Fishing Rod, and container along with both of his Dojutsu in order to awaken the Golden Byakugan and Golden Rinnegan.
On the other hand, Kuroto did no such thing, he has only mastered how to be able to use Sennin Mode, so although, his current Chakra is stronger than usual, Kuroto doesn't really think that it's enough to meet those requirements. In fact, Kuroto himself doesn't feel any big difference except for some obvious increase in the range of his vision.
"Whether these Dojutsus are the same or different can be determined sooner or later anyway, for now, I must focus on getting used to the Sennin Mode." Muttered Kuroto as he got up from the tile he was sitting on atop a pointed rock.
To absorb Natural energy, one must stay still, as even a bit of body movement can result in the disruption of absorption of Natural Energy. Therefore, Kuroto has been sitting still, without even a bit of body movement for quite a long time.
Normally, the issue of staying still to gather the Natural Energy is not that big of an issue for Kuroto, as he can always use the Natural Energy from Toyotama's Chakra in his body; but for the sake of learning and experience, Kuroto first decided to get used to the basics in the standard way to get the gist of Sennin Mode, afterward, he can obviously make the best use of his own advantages.
And now that he has entered the Sennin Mode, Kuroto must get used to the Sennin Mode, and figure out what new abilities he has gained as the by-product of Sennin Mode.
After all, whether it is the Toad Sennin Mode of Mount Myoboku or the Dragon Sennin Mode of the Ryuchi Cave, each of them has its individual fighting style in the Sennin Mode. In the cannon, Uzumaki Naruto after learning the Toad Sennin Mode also learned Frog Kata, a unique combat style used by the Toad Sages. And Kabuto who learned Dragon Sennin Mode from Ryuchi Cave also learned several of their Senjutsu including the Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation, Sage Art: White Rage Technique, et cetera.
Therefore, Kuroto is also quite certain that he should be able to use at least a few Senjutsu that his Sennin Mode would allow him.
"Let's begin, Ichikishima." Said Kuroto to the Snake Priestess, who nodded and got ready for the combat, "Yes, Kuroto-sama!"
…
Three Weeks Later.
For the next three weeks, Kuroto focused most of his attention on learning and getting used to the Sennin Mode. And he made quite a bit of progress at it.
But what's problematic is that his strength in Sennin Mode is not as strong as his strength in Tenseigan Chakra Mode. This is natural given the fact that Tenseigan Chakra Mode is stronger than the Sennin Mode.
This is why, after Kuroto was sure that he is quite apt with the Sennin Mode, he tried to stack the Sennin Mode on top of the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, just like Uzumaki Naruto stacked his Sennin mode on top of Kurama Chakra Mode (or was it the opposite? I don't remember exactly.).
Kuroto knows that if he succeeds in doing it, then his strength in the newfound, Tenseigan Sage Mode will increase by leaps and bounds, at least, it will be on the same level when he uses the Tenseigan Chakra Mode while drawing Chakra from the Giant Tenseigan on the Moon, which is obviously much, much stronger compared to when Kuroto uses his own or Toyotama's Chakra.
The difference is obviously because the Giant Tenseigan contains Chakra purely representing Hamura, while Kuroto's own or Toyotama's Chakra is different.
It can be explained by creating an analogy. If we assume that Kuroto's Chakra is similar to Naruto (Asura's Chakra), then Hamura's Chakra for Kuroto is similar to the Chakra of Rikudo Sennin for Naruto. The effects it brings are obvious.
So, Kuroto tried to achieve this synchronization and guess the result. A failure! Kuroto failed at it miserably. It was too miserable that it's almost embarrassing.
No amount of effort or hard work changed this fact. As soon as Kuroto activates the Tenseigan, the Senjutsu Chakra in his body becomes unstable. And if he tries to Enter Sennin Mode with the Tenseigan activated, it just doesn't work, Kuroto is unable to enter Sennin Mode while the Tenseigan is activated.
Kuroto tried theorizing the possible cause for his repeated failure in this, and he did have a few guesses.
"Is it really as she said?" muttered Kuroto in doubt as he thought of the words of Ichikishima hime.
Kuroto is able to individually use both Tenseigan Chakra Mode and Sennin Mode but is unable to combine them. According to Ichikishima hime, the reason is an imbalance of Spiritual Energy and Physical Energy while the Tenseigan is active.
According to the knowledge Kuroto has acquired up to now about Senjutsu and Sennin Mode, and according to what Ichikishima has spoken; Physical energy is more important to be able to use Senjutsu compared to Spiritual energy. This is also the reason why the reincarnates of Asura can master the Sennin Mode much easier when compared to the reincarnates of Indra or other people.
This also explains why the Uchiha and Hyuga who represent Yin, have never been known to use Senjutsu, meanwhile, those of the Senju and Uzumaki who represent Yang are able to use Senjustu if they manage to learn how to use it, that is. This is all because Asura inherited the Physical Energy from Rikudo Sennin.
But if we go by this theory, Kuroto shouldn't be able to even learn Senjutsu much less use it, but that's not the case, the problem of Physical and Spiritual Energy imbalance is not an issue for Kuroto while he is in base form and is not using the Tenseigan, because, with just his Byakugan active, Kuroto's physical energy is more than enough to keep up with the spiritual energy of the Byakugan.
But this changes completely when Kuroto uses the Tenseigan.
As soon as the Tenseigan is activated, Kuroto's Spiritual Power increases exponentially. True Tenseigan is a Dojutsu of the same level as the Rinnegan, but different from the Rinnegan, the necessary condition to awaken it is not the fusion of Yin and Yang.
In reality, the Tenseigan, much like the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is a Yin dominant.
Awakening naturally increases the physical energy of the body in correspondence to the increase in Spiritual Energy over time, but the balance still remains Yin Dominant.
So, Kuroto's Chakra, all this while has been Yin Dominant. This is also the reason why Ichikishima hime likes to eat his Chakra.
And because of all these reasons, when Kuroto tries to synchronize his Senjutsu Chakra with Tenseigan Chakra he fails at it, the physical energy is just unable to keep up.
And this is also the reason why his body starts to petrify when his body absorbs excess Natural Energy from Toyotama while using the Tenseigan Chakra Mode. This petrification happened when Kuroto was fighting against Nagato in Amegakure.
Initially, Kuroto thought that because he has not mastered Sennin Mode, so absorbing too much Natural Energy is the cause. Although it is the cause, only partially, not entirely, and the main cause is low Physical Energy compared to Spiritual Energy.
Sighing slightly, Kuroto thought, "Sigh, now I must also figure out a way to increase the physical energy of my main body. Else I would never be able to synchronize Tenseigan Chakra and Senjutsu Chakra."
Thus, the objective of increasing Physical energy was also added to the list of things that Kuroto MUST put on the agenda.
