Chapter 471: Chapter – 465 Sandaime’s Trap
After spending more than 2 months out of the Village, Kuroto returned back to the Village.
In the past 2 months, Kuroto learned Sennin Mode, created and trained Wind Nature Clone to some extent, trained both Gaara and Karin, and also did a few other things. And after he was done, Kuroto returned back.
Of course, before returning, Kuroto did not forget to check up on the status of the two new clones he has set up in the Incubation Capsules two weeks ago.
These two new clones are made up of Sandaime Kazekage's cells. As per Kuroto's initial plans, the puppet body of Sandaime Kazekage is to be discarded and an all-new enhanced body is to take that place so that the strength of Amatsukami can be increased.
Since the creation of these two clones had nothing to do with the fusion of cells or anything tedious, so the initial process was very easy, and after the cloning bud was created the Clone was set up in the Incubation Capsules to be grown.
As per Kuroto's estimation, this Clone will be ready for Sandaime Kazekage to take over in about two to three more weeks, the reason for such a long time is to maintain a high quality of the Clone.
After completing most of the things that Kuroto had to do at Ancor Vantian, Kuroto returned back to the Village.
After returning, the first thing he did was to meet up with his Shadow Clone that has been acting as his replacement in the village for the past 2 months.
As for people wondering why the Clone did not dispel itself or disappear even after the real Kuroto used Tenseigan Soul Descend to repeatedly transfer his soul from one body to another?
For this, Kuroto will have to be grateful to Toyotama hime (Ryuumyaku), she made sure to keep a constant supply of Chakra to the Clone to ensure that the Clone does not disappear. In fact, she also made sure to continuously heal it if injured, to again ensure that it does not disappear into a poof, as that would have been very problematic and very difficult to explain for Kuroto.
And now that Kuroto returned to the Village, he dispelled the Shadow Clone who has been performing the Anbu Missions as the captain of Team-Ro.
The moment the Shadow Clone disappeared, two months' worth of memories instantly flooded Kuroto's mind, causing him to feel a bit overwhelmed as he realized just how many things have happened in the past two months.
After recovering from the migraine caused by the sudden influx of memories, Kuroto slowly started to sort out the memories one by one to get a general idea of everything that the Shadow Clone went through.
In the past two months, after Konoha's alliance with the surrounding nations was concluded, everything on the surface became extraordinarily calm and peaceful, giving great relief to the villagers exposed to the light, but those working in the shadows, i.e., the Anbu in specific were more than clear about the wind and waves that have started to blow, and clearly showing signs of a Storm that is soon about to hit this Shinobi World.
Kuroto was also surprised upon learning how busy his Shadow Clone was these days, basically, the Shadow Clone had no free time.
In his absence, the Shadow Clone continued performing missions assigned to him by Sandaime-sama, some with the Team-Ro, some with only one other member, and a few even solo missions that were very secretive. Each mission was classified as Rank-S, and few even surpassed Ranks-S for which Team-Ro would team up with another Anbu Teams to ensure that the mission is completed without a hitch.
Kuroto doesn't understand why exactly, but for some reason, the four, not actually three members of Team-Ro, except for Itachi suddenly became adamant in training to get stronger.
And since Kuroto is their captain who is much stronger than all the four combined, so obviously they started pestering him to train them. Therefore, Kuroto's Shadow Clone had no choice but to also make some time in his schedule in order to train Kurenai, Hayate, and Yugao. And since, the three of them were training so Itachi being a member of Team-Ro also trained.
Thus, Kuroto's Shadow Clone was no different from Kuroto, too busy to be able to relax.
Another thing that surprised Kuroto was the information he concluded based on all the missions his Shadow Clone completed. While sitting cross-legged in his room, Kuroto muttered, "What is Sandaime-sama's source of information?"
All the signs indicate that Sandaime-sama has been planning something in secret.
It stands to reason that Akatsuki has not made any move for so long, so the Village's vigilance should gradually relax, however, not only the vigilance and security wasn't relaxed, but in fact, it was gradually strengthened. This unreasonable behavior, coupled with all sorts of infiltration and assassination tasks that Team-Ro has been performing, undoubtedly shows that Sandaime-sama is very sure about something. And more than likely that something is related to Akatsuki's revenge on Konoha that should be getting closer and closer.
'But why is Sandaime-sama so sure?' Kuroto can't help but doubt this.
All the knowledgeable people understand that Akatsuki would undoubtedly seek revenge on Konoha, but given the fact that so many months have passed and yet there was no sign, so obviously many thoughts have started to emerge, one of them is about the possibility of Nagato's death, yet, Sandaime-sama dare not relax the vigilance, why exactly?
"Is he aware of something that I am not? But if that's the case, what exactly, and how exactly?" muttered Kuroto as the frown on his face deepened.
Since the Summit War at Amegakure, Kuroto has completely lost contact with Uchiha Shinichi, and as time passed by, Kuroto has become more and more worried about Shinichi's safety.
There are only two possibilities, either Shinichi's identity has been exposed and he has been already been killed by the Akatsuki Organization, or Shinichi has been put under 24 hours surveillance, so he is unable to deliver any message.
Of course, Kuroto hopes that it is the latter option, not because he is worried about Shinichi's life, but because he is worried about the intelligence that Shinichi has. Shinichi has also seen Kuroto's Tenseigan Chakra Mode so he knows the true identity of Yama. if his identity as a spy is exposed, then is very likely that all his memories have been extracted by Nagato which would mean that Nagato also knows about Kuroto, and this is something Kuroto does not want.
Therefore, Kuroto hopes that it is the latter, and if it is the latter, then that would mean Akatsuki has changed its policies, they no longer allow loose management of the members of the organization, and now strictly monitor all their movements.
And since there has been no sighting of any member of the Akatsuki (other than the time Obito sneaked inside Konoha in order to take back his left eye), so it can only mean one thing, all of them have gathered in one place.
"Are they really planning on something big?" This strange calmness in the Shinobi World has made Kuroto think of this possibility, otherwise, why would all the members of Akatsuki gather in one place?
The members of Akatsuki are nuke-nin from multiple villages, they have to not only guard against various enemies, they have to be cautious against each other too, but given the fact that all of them are more than likely to have gathered in one place, so it can only mean that the Akatsuki Organization is planning something big.
After reaching this conclusion, Kuroto left his house and walked in the direction of the Uchiha Clan, on his way, Kuroto thought about many things, and after considering these various things, there was only one conclusion in his mind, "Although I am not sure how he is doing it, Sandaime-sama must know something about Akatsuki's latest plan."
Since the failure of the joint raid at Amegakure, Sandaime has become more and more secretive, even the well-informed and trusted Anbu members loyal to him are not aware of most of the things, and no one is able to figure out what exactly he is doing, even Kuroto is unable to.
If it wasn't for the fact that Kuroto was a member of Anbu Team-11, and had a close friendship with Kakashi, else he wouldn't have gotten any information about the attack on Kakashi.
At the same time, if not for the fact that Pakura and Yagura are his subordinates, Kuroto wouldn't have gotten any wind about the upcoming Gokage Summit that is going to be held in secrecy in Konoha.
"Sandaime suppressed the news of the attack on Kakashi, renounced Shimura Danzo's control over Root subunit, then coupled with all these assassination missions Team-Ro is performing to stabilize peace in the Land of fire, all signs indicate that Sandaime-sama is trying to show or maybe confuse others and making them think that Konoha is safe.
At the same time, we secretly contacted the Kage of the other four great Shinobi Villages to hold a secret Gokage Summit in KONOHA, meaning he wants the other four Kages to be in Konoha.
Covering signs of all enemies' activities in the village and the country, while summoning the other four Kages in the village, it is as if Sandaime-sama knows when and what is going to happen in the village, and deliberately summoned the four Kage to help Konoha?" muttered Kuroto in a shocked tone, and even he was taken aback by this absurd guess of his.
But if this absurd guess of his is correct, then Sandaime is not only secretly weaving a trap against Akatsuki Organization but is also using the other four Kage in this trap.
"Heh, he may have gotten old and weak with time, but there is no change in his savvy character. In the name of Gokage Summit, he intends to use the other four Kage to protect Konoha." – Muttered Kuroto in an admirable tone, then he no longer cared about it, and proceeded towards the Uchiha Clan.
Sooner or later, his questions will be answered anyway, and Pakura and Yagura will give him information.
It didn't take long for Kuroto to come to arrive at the back forest of the Uchiha Clan, and he saw Shisui and Itachi training.
Noticing Kuroto's arrival, the two Uchiha teenagers who were busy in high-intensity combat stopped tacitly and quickly greeted him.
Kuroto returned the greeting, then asked Shisui, "How is your physical condition Shisui?"
Shisui said with a genuine smile, "My body has completely adapted, there is an additional increase in my physical strength. And my Chakra Volume has almost quadrupled since the day of transplantation."
"That's good." Kuroto nodded, he wasn't much surprised as these were expected results.
After the recovery and training of more than two months, it is natural that Shisui's body adapts to the Hashirama cells. In fact, aside from his physical strength, and Chakra Reserves, his Visual Prowess has also increased quite a lot.
As for the four times increase in his chakra? Kuroto feels that Shisui's Chakra should increase more as days pass by, after all, Hashirama Cells are no joke, and given the fact that currently, Shisui is not even an adult, so his Chakra reserves are bound to grow.
After understanding this, Kuroto asked Shisui again, "And have you noticed any negative effects?"
Shisui thought a little, then shook his head, "None so far."
"Alright, that's good, and are there any white face marks on your body?" Kuroto asked again, this was very important, if Hashirama's face were to appear on Shisui's body then it could cause problems.
Shisui looked at Kuroto with a weird expression, and asked doubtfully, "No, was a face supposed to appear on my body??"
Receiving Shisui's reply, Kuroto had a thoughtful look on his face, then said, "If it hasn't appeared then that's good, in any case, we can replace those eyes."
Shisui nodded quickly, "Alright."
In order to make sure that Hashirama Cells do not take over Shisui's body during the adaptation period, Kuroto did not replace the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan with Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan. And now that his body has perfectly adapted, there is no need for Shisui to not have his eyes back.
The operation site is still the Secret Laboratory in the Forest of Death.
Because it was a simple eye replacement operation, so it only took a minute for Kuroto to skillfully remove the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan out of Shisui's eye sockets, and then he replaced them with Shisui's original eyes.
After completing the eye replacement, "How do you feel?" asked Kuroto while observing Shisui's Vital Signs.
After a long silence, Shisui removed his hands from his eyes, and said, "I feel the same as I did earlier."
Kuroto nodded, then asked, "And what about your vision?"
"I am not sure yet, the eye has just been replaced, maybe it will take some time when my vision is restored?" answered Shisui with a doubtful tone.
Kuroto nodded, "Hmm, it will take about two to three days for your eyes to restore their normal vision, and then be enhanced further. At the same time, your visual prowess will also increase significantly."
Shisui nodded, then got off the operation table, bowed towards Kuroto, and said sincerely, "Kuroto-san, thank you for everything that you have done for me, if not for your help, I would have been blind with probably no solution at hand."
Kuroto waved his hand, and said, "Don't worry about it. You are a member of the organization so obviously, there are some special benefits. And I am just doing what's important for the village and the organization, nothing more."
Shisui said again, "Even so, I am grateful."
Kuroto smiled and didn't say anything more, he just proceeded to take a sample of Shisui's cells in order to study the changes in Shisui's cell and DNA structure.
In this transplantation operation of Shisui, Kuroto also gained a lot of things. In addition to the obvious increase in the visual prowess of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan under the nurturing of the Hashirama Cells, Kuroto also gained experience in transplanting Hashirama Cells into a living person's body.
This experience is very useful, and will definitely come in handy in the future while Kuroto plays around with the Hashirama Cells, especially when he creates the Yang Nature Clone. Therefore, it is Kuroto who should be grateful to Shisui for willingly allowing Kuroto to experiment on his body, not the other way around.
But even if Shisui had known Kuroto's thoughts, he would have been grateful to Kuroto either way.

Chapter 472: Chapter – 466 A Deal with Shimura Danzo?
After the transplantation operation was completed, Kuroto discussed his guess with Shisui and Itachi.
Upon listening to Kuroto's guess, Itachi asked doubtfully, "If Kuroto-san's guess is correct, it means that Hokage-sama not only knows about Akatsuki's plans, but he also has a rough understanding of the time Akatsuki will attack. Such a piece of secret information, how can Hokage-sama know about it?"
Shisui also said, "Did Hokage-sama also plant a spy in the Akatsuki Organization?"
The reason for using the word, 'also' has only one meaning, that being the identity of Uchiha Shinichi.
Shisui by now is more than certain that Uchiha Shinichi is a spy Kuroto-san has planted within the Akatsuki Organization. After all, all those pieces of intelligence that Kuroto-san knows have to come from somewhere, right?
And Shinichi once gave them information about Shinno and Ancor Vantian, although, Uchiha Tsukihi never explicitly stated that Shinichi is a spy and that was only a one-time thing, Shisui had some other thoughts.
Then there's also the fact that Shinichi did not cause too much damage to the tri-Alliance at the Summit war and coupled with a few other theories, Shisui is certain that Shinichi is a spy, after all, Kuroto never talked about Shinichi as a threat, this can only mean that Uchiha Shinichi is a spy, otherwise, how else did he survive against Kuroto-san back when he defected?
Kuroto did not point out Shisui's 'also' and Itachi did not comment on it either, the two of them consciously ignored it, then Kuroto said, "Unlikely, Akatsuki had suffered a serious loss not long ago, their base Amegakure was completely destroyed, and their leader Nagato almost died. Now they would definitely be very careful, so infiltrating into Akatsuki as a spy would be very difficult in my opinion, much less be aware of their plan of action."
Even Shinichi who has already become a trusty member of the Akatsuki does not have the opportunity to pass back any piece of information, so how can Sandaime manage to make his spy not only infiltrate the Akatsuki Organization but also pass back the intelligence in such a sensitive period?
After pondering a little, Itachi said, "Which means Hokage-sama must have some external means to get intelligence on Akatsuki's movements."
Kuroto nodded slightly, "I suspect the same. Most likely, there is some other organization that is collaborating with the Akatsuki, and Sandaime-sama has either managed to make someone infiltrate that other organization or, he has managed to sway some of the members of the second organization to side with him, and this spy, or this someone is the source of intelligence."
The second organization can be any other shinobi village, or some other organization, or perhaps some individuals, Kuroto isn't sure as to who exactly are they, but this possibility is the most reasonable.
Shisui asked, "If that's the case, what should we do? If Akatsuki were to attack Konoha, it would cause serious losses to the village."
Kuroto nodded, took out the training plan Itachi sent him about 2 months ago, and said, "I am giving the two of you a new mission. Visit all these places marked on the attached map and search them thoroughly."
Shisui took the pages that Kuroto handed to him, and was taken aback.
He obviously knew what these pages are, these pages are part of the training plan Itachi created to improve his strength as per Kuroto's instructions. But what's strange is that everything related to actually improving strength, including Taijutsu, Shurikenjutsu, Genjutsu, Dojutsu et cetera has been crossed out, leaving only the part that recorded the locations of places that had some connection with the Uchiha Clan at some point in time before the establishment of Konoha.
Itachi also looked, and was surprised, "Kuroto-san, are you serious about this?"
Kuroto nodded, and explained, "While researching about my own Kusanagi Sword, I happened to learn about two artifacts that once existed in the Shinobi World. One of the two artifacts is called Sword of Totsuka, a variant of the Kusanagi Sword that is capable of sealing the targets it pierces through inside a Genjutsu-like 'world of drunken dreams' for all eternity. I used various means to search for it, but couldn't really find it, but there was a clue I managed to obtain, and it pointed toward the Uchiha Clan. So, if my guess is correct then this sword is very likely to be hidden somewhere in the Uchiha Clan. And perhaps only an Uchiha can find this sword."
Itachi was stunned and remembered various past instances in a flash, "No wonder you mentioned the 'Sword of Totsuka' and 'Yata Mirror' several times to me. I did some personal research on these two artifacts, but there wasn't much I could find about them."
Kuroto nodded and said, "If we want to deal with the masked Uchiha who now has access to Kamui in both eyes, then we would definitely need this Sword. And the two of you are the only ones who can find this Sword, it doesn't really matter who among the two of you find it, but one of you must find this sword at all cost, it is very very important, at least I think, it is."
Shisui said with a worried tone, "But what about the Village?"
"For now, 'Sword of Totsuka' might be our only method to deal with the masked Uchiha, I am not sure if anything else is going to work. After all, Tsukihi has already once killed him, but he did not die because he used Izanagi, and there is no telling how many times he can keep using Izanagi as we don't know how many disposables three tomoe Sharingan he has.
Resolving the threat of this masked Uchiha would at least put us in a better situation.
So, don't worry about the safety of the village, Hokage-sama has his own plans, and he would do his all to protect the village."
Rather than wasting time and effort on weakening the enemy, Kuroto prefers to focus on improving himself. As long as he is strong enough, no one would be a threat.
Because Kuroto has both, direction and plan, so as long as he is given enough time, Kuroto has confidence in reaching the top of the Shinobi World. Once he reaches the top, no one can threaten him and he calmly deals with everything with just a few flicks of his fingers.
So, aside from their enmity, Akatsuki and Amatsukami are also in a race. A race to ascend, Whether Project Godhood is completed earlier, or Project Tsuki no Me is completed earlier will determine everything.
Whether Kuroto achieves Kekkei Mora earlier, or Nagato/Obito/Madara becomes the Jinchuriki of Juubi earlier will determine everything.
If Kuroto achieves Kekkei Mora earlier, then all the problems this shinobi world is facing will not be problems anymore, but if Akatsuki were to revive Juubi earlier and any one of Nagato/Obito/Madara becomes the Jinchuriki of Juubi, first, then Kaguya would come back to life, and Kuroto would have no choice but to face Kaguya, and obviously, Kuroto would die in that situation, because he would be no different from a slightly stronger cannon fodder as the current Kuroto is far from reaching the level Sasuke and Naruto after they received Rikudo Sennin's Chakra.
Therefore, other than preventing the revival of Juubi, Kuroto doesn't care about what actions Akatsuki is taking, and he is not very interested in wasting his energy on every action that Akatsuki takes.
While Shisui and Itachi were thinking a few things, a ninja crow flew in and landed on Kuroto's shoulder.
Taking out the letter from the crow's stomach, Kuroto opened it, and after taking a look, he immediately said to both Itachi and Shisui, "Pakura seems to have already arrived in the village."
"Already?" Itachi and Shisui were surprised.
Kuroto was no less surprised than Itachi and Shisui, and said, "It can only mean that the threat of Akatsuki is reaching closer. And since Pakura has already arrived in Konoha it also means that Sandaime-sama's plan is proceeding smoothly. The two of you need not worry about it and focus your attention on finding Sword of Totsuka and Yata Mirror."
Itachi nodded and Shisui nodded with a serious expression, "Leave it to us Kuroto-san."
Kuroto nodded then the three separated, Itachi and Shisui left for the Uchiha Clan in order to prepare for the mission, while Kuroto returned back to his home.
Of course, he did not forget to instruct the two of them to leave behind Shadow/ Crow Clones, because, given the state of emergency, they wouldn't be allowed to leave, especially Shisui, his combat power is indispensable for whatever Sandaime-sama is planning, that is why he wouldn't be allowed to leave, no matter how important mission.
This is the reason why Shisui has been staying in the village for so long and has not performed any Anbu mission, his presence alone is very important for the village's safety.
So, if the two want to leave for finding the two artifacts, then obviously they will have to leave behind Shadow/Crow Clone so that they act as replacements.
…
After arriving at his home, Kuroto took out the storage scroll that he prepared 2 months ago.
The objective is very clear, Kuroto plans to sell this scroll to Shimura Danzo for a good price. Given his current economic situation, Kuroto is in some serious need of funds, after all, the creation of Wind Nature Clone, along with the Kazekage Clone that is being cultivated has again consumed a lot of his funds, so by selling this scroll to Shimura Danzo, Kuroto is shooting two birds with one stone.
After preparing the disguise, and leaving a Shadow Clone again in the Village, Kuroto quietly sneaked out of Konoha.
…
In a mountainous forest outside Konoha.
A figure can be seen walking step by step through the forest.
The figure is dressed in a midnight Black Cloak with a complex golden pattern made of up gold thread, the symbol of Wind Chakra Nature on the chest, and five Chakra Natures at the back surrounding the Yin-Yang symbol, along with a wind patterned mask to cover the face.
He is slowly walking towards a hidden cave in the distance.
Whoosh Whoosh
At this time, two figures dressed in Konoha Anbu disguise appeared in front and behind the figure, and immediately launched an attack on him from both front and back.
At the same time, a third Anbu sitting on top of a tree at a distance away was ready to throw Shuriken and kill him should the figure jump upwards.
However, before the two tonto could reach closer to the figure, both the blades stopped midway, and not just the blades, even the bodies of the two Anbu stopped as they were entangled by Iron Sand that completely imprisoned the two Anbu.
The figure did not care about the attack from the two Anbu, he turned in the direction of the third Anbu who has changed his tactics and was about to fire a Lightning Jutsu at him, but stopped midway upon listening to the words of the figure, "Tell Shimura Danzo that Amatsukami wishes to make a deal with him."
