Chapter 674: Chapter – 667 A New Art to Pursue
To make almost all the Shinobis in existence obediently stand on the Chakra Transmission Array while their chakra is being sucked dry until they all die…? Even if Kuroto were to become Hokage, he still wouldn't be able to do such an outrageous thing.
What's more, he doesn't want his Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ceremony to become public knowledge to avoid involving unnecessary people in it in any way, to make sure that the ceremony isn't interfered with by outsiders in any way, because the more people involved in it, the more troublesome it would become and the more difficult it would be to manage.
In fact, if circumstances were to permit, Kuroto would much rather prefer to carry out the ritual alone.
However, the problem of chakra is still a problem that has to be solved.
"Maybe I can…!" Suddenly Kuroto thought of an idea, but it was discarded soon, and Kuroto drove this thought out of his mind.
The method he thought of to solve the problem of chakra source was actually very simple, that is, to allow Black Zetsu's Project Tsuki No Me to continue and allow him to rescue Kaguya… As long as Jūbi is resurrected, the Infinite Tsukuyomi is cast upon the Shinobi World, and the entire Shinobi World is bound to the roots of the God Tree, then there will be no problem with chakra as the chakra of the entire Shinobi World would gather together.
But this idea is too risky, which is why this approach can't be used.
If the Akatsuki Organization were to revive the Jūbi and cast the light of Infinite Tsukuyomi on the moon, at that time, Kuroto would be forced to face either Nagato in the Six Path state, Obito in the Six Path state, or Madara in the Six Path State or probably unsealed Kaguya…
Regardless of which of the four he ends up dealing with, Kuroto knows that he wouldn't be able to put up much of a fight, therefore, it is better to not allow Akatsuki to revive Jūbi.
Of course, there is one more approach, Kuroto himself can try to collect all the Nine Bijū, revive Jūbi, then cast the light of Infinite Tsukuyomi on the moon to unit all the chakra into himself, but Kuroto knows that if he were to do such a thing, the Sage of Six Path won't stand by silently… he will definitely take some kind of action… and by that time, Kuroto's fate would be no different from any typical villain
In conclusion, it can be said that reviving the Jūbi and using the Infinite Tsukuyomi is not an appropriate solution to the problem.
"Looks like I will have to find some other way…" With these words, Kuroto highlighted the Chakra problem and closed his ledger.
In fact, there are quite a lot of Chakra sources scattered all over the Shinobi World… Reviving Jūbi or extracting Chakra from Shinobis are just two of those methods that are on the dangerous and crueler side.
The other methods are…
The method that Hiruko adopted, absorbing energy from celestial phenomena, such as Aurora Waves or perhaps Solar or Lunar Eclipse, then There is also the option of using some kind of medication, such as Takigakure's Hero Water, or Akimichi Clan's Three-Colored Pills which would temporarily give him high Chakra.
In fact, these are not the only options, Kuroto can also opt for something else, such as using Fuinjutsu such as Yin-Seal to store Chakra Reserves over the years that he can use during the ritual or perhaps some kind of Forbidden Jutsu like Hachiman Tonkou that would temporarily increase his chakra while the gates are open, or maybe some other Forbidden Jutsu that would give him incredible Chakra boost at the cost of burning away his life.
Other than all these options, Giant Tenseigan on the Moon and the other Giant Tenseigan that is probably hidden somewhere in the Shinobi World are two of the many Chakra Sources that can be used during the ritual to maintain the chakra supply… As long as Kuroto obtains these two Giant Tenseigans, to some extent, he will be able to solve the problem of Chakra.
In short, there are many methods to solve the problem of Chakra… All Kuroto has to do is identify the useful ones, and get his hands on them.
After making a list of things he could use to solve the problem of Chakra, Kuroto walked out of the archive room of Ancor Vantian and came to the Cloning Room.
…
Cloning Room.
Inside the cloning room, a large number of Cloning Tanks were placed, and in each of these tanks, a Clone was floating… In total, there were 30 Cloning Tanks, hence a total of 30 Clones.
The clones were of various varieties, some had long hair, while some had small hair with various shades of golden blonde, blackish-brown, and reddish-brown… Some were tall, some were short, some were males, while the others were females…
One thing common in all of them was that they all had white eyes that were unfinished Byakugan.
These 30 or so clones are Earth Chakra Nature Clones that Kuroto cultivated, their quality is very high as they were created using the most cutting-edge technology that the Shinobi World has to offer at this point in time…
But that's not important, what's important is that all these 30 clones are second-generation clones, and all these 30 clones carry the genetic material of four people at the same time, unlike all the previous ones that carry only the genetic material of only two people.
The purpose of incorporating the genetic material of four people is to bring the best out of all four and make a clone that is in perfect synchronization with the Earth Chakra Nature Clone, such that the final clone has no problem learning the Dust Release Kekkei Tōta.
Among the four people whose genetic material Kuroto used, one is obviously himself, while the other three are Deidara, Terumi Mei, and finally Kurotsuchi.
Although this is the first time, he created a clone using the genetic material of four people, given the status of clones before him, he would say the result is not bad.
Of course, it would still take around a month for the clones to be ready, but based on the data he has collected of these clones so far, two clones seem to meet his requirements.
After a while of observation, Kuroto couldn't help but mutter with a sigh, "Although quite unexpected Deidara's cells seem to have a very good aptitude for fusion, and only because of that aptitude was I able to fuse the genetic material of four people… I suppose I should thank him…"
With that, Kuroto turned off the lights of the Cloning room…
…
Iwagakure.
"Aaaachoooo…."
At the same time as Kuroto was appreciating Deidara's cells, there was a loud sneeze in the Tsuchikage's office…
Deidara wiped clean his nose, then did a dogeza in front of Sandaime Tsuchikage and apologized, "Old man… the shinobi world is too dangerous, I understand I was wrong, I shouldn't have stolen the forbidden Jutsu, please forgive me this time, and take me back into the village… otherwise, those people from the Akatsuki and Amatsukami Organization wouldn't leave me alone!"
Ōnoki snorted coldly, "Humph… you betrayed the village by stealing a secret scroll, do you think it is so easy for you to come back?" Although he said so on the surface, internally, Ōnoki was very happy with Deidara's return.
The situation of today's Iwagakure is very bad, that's not to say that the strength of the village is weak or anything, the strength of the village is fine and there are many elite shinobis in Iwagakure, the only problem is all of them are elites, there is no other Kage Class shinobi in Iwagakure except him, as such, the burden on his shoulders is a bit too much.
Fortunately, Ōnoki has been able to hold his own up until now even with his small stature and old shoulders, otherwise, Iwagakure would have fallen by now, and its status as one of the five great shinobi villages would be in jeopardy.
But Ōnoki has already passed his prime, and he is aware that his strength is declining with each passing day, so he needs someone, possibly a Kage Class shinobi as his successor… Someone who can lead Iwagakure and carry the village on their shoulders.
But it's a pity that Ōnoki wasn't able to find such a candidate up until now…
In Ōnoki's eyes, Deidara did have that potential, but the kid turned out to be defiant and had no other interests other than his art and how that art is an explosion…
The waste of potential really ached Ōnoki's heart.
But now that Deidara has returned, hope has awakened in Ōnoki's heart. He may not show anything on the surface, but as said before, he is really joyful within.
Ōnoki feels that the future of the shinobi world is full of stormy waves, therefore, he knows that Iwagakure would need a strong Tsuchikage such that Iwagakure can stand tall in those storms, and Deidara is a candidate who can lead Iwagakure in those troubled times.
While Ōnoki was having an inner monologue, Deidara looked at him with a determined expression and said, "Old man Ōnoki, I want to learn your Dust Release!"
Ōnoki was taken aback by Deidara's sudden words, he studied Deidara's expression for a while, then questioned with a smile, "You want to learn Dust Release? Then what about your art? If I remember correctly, once you stated that you only care about your art… why a sudden change of heart?"
Deidara recalled the embarrassment he experienced when fighting against Homusubi, and how he was mesmerized by that goddess-like figure bathed in golden flames and even questioned his belief in art, recalling that feeling, he couldn't help but grit his teeth, and say, "I just… I suddenly started to think that breaking down things at the molecular level is also very artistic… which is why I want to learn Dust Release."

Chapter 675: Chapter – 668 Theory of Strangeness
While moving down the hallway of Ancor Vantian, Kuroto squinted his eyes and thought of Danzo, and as he thought of Danzo, something else came into his mind, "The Rinnegan!"
Thinking of the Rinnegan, Kuroto took out the small capsule from his pocket and looked at the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan floating inside it.
From his observation of this pair of Sharingan, Kuroto can clearly see that after absorbing the Yin-Yang chakra from Danzo's ritual, the visual prowess of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan has improved quite a lot… in fact, it can even be said that the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in his hand is only a step away from evolving into the Rinnegan… just the right trigger is required, and it will be done.
This makes Kuroto quite delighted… Even if Kuroto already possesses the Tenseigan, he is still very excited to think that the Rinnegan with the power to distort the boundaries of life and death is within his reach.
But Kuroto can't yet judge whether this is a good thing or a bad thing because along with the increased visual prowess, even the independent will that the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan carries within has also become stronger and more active.
And this 'Independent Will' deeply affects Homusubi's thought process…
Even while she was hiding in the woods and observing the conversation between the Raikage and Hamu, she had to put a lot of effort into controlling the greed she was feeling at that time. The Independent Will in her eyes was urging her to steal Danzo's eyes even if it risked all her plans, and it took too much effort on her part to control that greed.
"Haaah…" After a deep exhale, Kuroto put back the capsule in his hand inside his pocket and smiled.
He now has a new plan in his mind, and that plan involves the use of Rinnegan.
Based on his understanding of the Chimera Jutsu up until now, Kuroto has concluded that no matter how much improvement is made in Chimera Jutsu, undergoing the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual is an extremely risky process with no guarantee of hundred percent success.
Therefore, having a pair of Rinnegan in his hand is a good practice as it would provide him with reassurance that if something unexpected happens to him and he dies, he can at least be brought back to life with the help of Rinne-Rebirth.
This also means that Danzo must be eliminated as Kuroto would need that pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in his eye sockets to create the Rinnegan.
It's just that Kuroto feels quite weird about Danzo's situation.
Especially his conversation with the Yondaime Raikage Ay.
In fact, by that time, Kuroto had already understood the gist behind Danzo's strange behavior.
From what Kuroto has observed, the reason behind Danzo's strange behavior was the unexpected change in the ritual that was brought by Orochimaru's Cursed Seal that he secretly planted in Danzo's body.
That Cursed Seal was obviously not the right solution to the problem of fusion of souls…
Natural Energy eroded all the souls, and Danzo's own soul wasn't spared… Although, his soul recovered with the awakening of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, however, once something is broken, then even if it is repaired, there are always cracks left behind, and those cracks in Danzo's soul are the cause of his strange behavior.
The other souls in his body were not completely eroded by the Natural Energy, they are still present inside his body. And since Danzo doesn't seem to have any power to suppress them for the time being, therefore, those souls are able to manifest themselves from the cracks in his soul.
This is the only reasoning Kuroto has come up with to explain why Danzo showed several different personalities in such a short amount of time.
Thinking of this, Kuroto summoned a crow and wrote a message to Yagura.
If Kuroto's guess is indeed correct, then among the five souls present inside Danzo's body, only four of them have manifested so far during the battle.
The first soul manifested itself while 'Danzo' used Crystal Release Jutsu to cut off the tree roots that were holding the volcano in order to escape… the coordination and planning he used highlighted that the soul that was in control of Danzo's body had some experience as a Shinobi, but not too much, otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to do things so messily.
The second soul appeared when 'Danzo' slaughtered Kumogakure Shinobi and showed an excited expression… At that time, the battle prowess of 'Danzo' was very poor… This was definitely the soul of someone who was just a civilian, without any understanding of how Shinobi fights.
The third soul appeared when Danzo was heavily punched by Raikage's thunder-ax, but survived and then used Vapor Release Jutsu. At that time, Danzo's temperament had again changed, he showed the calmness of a shinobi and displayed good battle tactics…
And finally, the fourth soul manifested, when Danzo suddenly stopped his battle with the Kumogakure shinobi and identified himself as Hamu.
One of the souls has yet to manifest itself, but it doesn't really matter all that much.
What's important is that if the soul of Kirigakure Shinobi inside Danzo's body is manifested, then there is a good probability that 'Danzo' might try to run away from Kumogakure and go to Kirigakure. Kuroto is not sure if this will really happen, it's just a possibility.
Precisely why, Kuroto informed Yagura of the situation and instructed him to be prepared in advance so that encircling 'Danzo' becomes more accessible.
As for the possibility that Hamu aka Danzo will not leave Kumogakure?
Kuroto highly doubts it.
Raikage has indeed taken Hamu to Kumogakure, but Raikage is no fool… obviously, he won't give Hamu the kind of treatment 'Danzo' might be expecting… This is Shinobi World…! Where benefits are the first priority.
Moreover, even if Raikage is willing to give shelter to Hamu, he wouldn't do so without complete reassurance that he won't be a danger to the village and that he will be helpful to the village because nobody wants to carry baggage.
And even if he is willing to provide shelter to Hamu, the senior staff of Kumogakure wouldn't allow it to happen so easily.
Therefore, the most likely thing to happen to Hamu is that he will be locked up in some dark cell or tied to a test bench, and then his nightmare will start.
Kuroto believes that Danzo should also understand this, as such, he won't dare stay in Kumogakure any more than necessary.
This is more evident from the fact that while Hamu explained Raikage quite a lot of things related to the ritual, he didn't mention a thing about Wood Release and Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan that Danzo can use.
Knowing this, Kuroto's worries in regards to the safety of the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan also diminished, because at this point in time, other than, him, Orochimaru, and 'Danzo', no one is aware of the presence of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in Danzo's eye sockets.
