Chapter 690: Chapter – 683 New Understanding
Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh…
Accompanied by sharp sounds, several after-images of Kuroto appeared on the training ground filling up the otherwise empty training field.
"Yes… this is the feeling, this is what it feels like to draw out the true potential of a human's body! This is what it feels like to use the Eight Gates Formation…!"
Although Kuroto has yet to open the third gate, however, he is no longer a stranger to the result of the first two gates, despite this, every time he opens the first two gates he feels amazed.
The more he sees and feels the changes in his body, the more he becomes addicted to this feeling.
Having been taught by Orochimaru while very young, and because of his own mental blocks because of having the memories of his previous life, Kuroto is accustomed to holding back a little… Perhaps it would be better to phrase it in a different manner, more than often, Kuroto is not able to give his hundred percent while in battle… there is always something holding him back… he has always wondered why this is the case, but to no avail until recently…
Only now has he understood the reason.
Kuroto has always been the cautious and non-reckless type of guy… Although this has allowed him to survive time and time again, this also limits him in many ways.
Well, other things aside, he has never been able to enjoy the battle of flesh and blood where he goes all out.
But since Kuroto started training the Eight Inner Gates, he has started to get over this problem.
At the end of the day, mastering the Eight Inner Gates is all about breaking the limits of body time and time again in order to tap the hidden true potential of our bodies…
To master the Eight Inner Gates, Kuroto has to exert every bit of effort he is capable of putting up and then some more… which is why; slowly but steadily, he has started to let go of his mental blocks and started to stop holding back.
Training the Eight Inner Gates Technique has been useful to him in more than just one way.
Because of being unreserved while training himself to death, what he actually wanted has started to happen… his body has started to become physically stronger, and because of becoming stronger, the Yang chakra in his body has started to balance with the Yin chakra in his body.
And considering the speed with which he is improving, Kuroto also realized one more thing, 'It seems I still don't completely understand my body… and this is also a very big problem.'
If shinobis can't even understand their own body perfectly, it will become a very big hurdle for them to tread forward. After all, for shinobi, their body is their true weapon, and if someone doesn't even understand the weapon they have how are they going to perfectly use it in the battle?
And for Kuroto, this is a bigger reason for concern compared to others… If he doesn't understand his body and carries out Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual in an attempt to achieve Kekkei Mora, it is very likely that he will encounter some obstacle that will pose a very big danger to his life.
There is also the possibility of him becoming a monster like Hiruko or unstable like Danzo, which is obviously not what he wants, therefore, Kuroto has come to the understanding that he needs to renew his knowledge of himself and his body…
After all, only by having complete understanding and a hundred percent control over his body will he be able to control the fusion of all the seven chakra natures and finally attain Kekkei Mora.
If he can't even control his body as he wants, it would be in his best interest to put away the attaining of the Kekkei Mora.
Realizing this, Kuroto decided to pay more attention to the changes in his body while continuing to master the Eight Gates.
For him, mastering Eight Gates is not only a means to meet chakra requirements during the ritual, and to balance the Yin and Yang chakra in his body but also a method to method to gain a deeper understanding of the depths of his body so as to gain better control over himself.
While Kuroto was pondering over these things, Shisui appeared by his side.
Broken out of his thoughts because of Shisui's arrival, Kuroto wiped the sweat on his body, then asked him, "Sent them away??"
Shisui nodded, "Yes… I have warned them not to come here, as this is your exclusive training field."
Kuroto nodded lightly, then asked with a smile, "So the one who discovered me… it was Neji if I am not wrong?"
Shisui nodded, "Yes… it was him… Sasuke followed him because of curiosity and rivalry."
"The two of them dared to come forward in such a situation… it seems they haven't suffered hard enough…" he said, then added with a sigh, "At any rate, it seems that I have to deploy the final enchantment as early as possible, lest someone might continue to discover me while I am in the middle of training."
Shisui chuckled and said nothing.
Kuroto shook his head helplessly, then looked at him and asked, "Anyway, putting this matter aside, did you complete the task?"
Shisui nodded with a smile, "Yes… and I didn't face any problem." then added, "But Kuroto-san are you sure it is the right approach to let her become part of the ninja academy?"
Kuroto nodded, "Yes, I have made this decision after giving it much thought… letting Mika enter the academy is the best choice at this time. She will grow up with Neji and Sasuke's generation, and we will be able to keep a close watch over her."
Shisui nodded, "Well, if you have thought about it, then I am relieved. I will complete the final measures, and soon she will transfer to the same class as Sasuke, Neji, and Naruto-kun. At the same time, Naomi-san is employed at the Ichiraku-ramen."
Kuroto nodded, "Perfect."
After Naomi rescued her niece with the help of Homusubi (Itachi), according to the instructions given to her by Amatsukami, she went into hiding until given further notice by the organization. Since Kuroto was busy with all sorts of things up until a few days ago, she into hiding all this while.
Not long ago, he remembered them and thought of what to do with them.
Initially, Kuroto thought about letting them live on Ancor Vantian but soon discarded that thought. Mika is somewhat dangerous after getting that thing and Kuroto can't afford to let anything happen to the floating castle as the castle has his research lab and all…
So after giving up on the first idea, Kuroto gave it much thought and finally decided to make Naomi and Mika live in Konoha.
The reason is that it will be less difficult for Naomi and Mika to adapt to the sudden changes in their life while living in Konoha, and also allow Kuroto to always keep an eye on Mika.
Moreover, Mika has to recover after all she went through… and Kuroto is somewhat concerned about her mental state after what she went through…
He believes that she needs to live in an environment that will help her overcome the trauma, and Konoha appears to be the best choice among all the Shinobi Villages
Of course, letting the two of them become part of Konoha is not an easy thing… but Itachi and Shisui helped Kuroto solve that trouble.
The Root Base from where Mika was rescued also had an archive, and Danzo had hidden the documents that proved Mika and Naomi's citizenship of Konoha in that archive… When Itachi and Naomi destroyed that Root base, Itachi didn't forget to retrieve the archives with him.
Having those documents proved that both of them were born and raised in Konoha, so, the problem of not having any documents of being Konoha citizens was solved… and they were able to return to Konoha.
Of course, a lot of manipulation was done behind the scenes to avoid any trouble, and Shisui used Kotoamatsukami to avoid any suspicions about the two of them, but it wasn't that big of a deal for him especially now that he has Hashirama cells implanted in his body.
Well, after that was done, Mika also became part of the Ninja Academy.
Initially, Kuroto transferred her to a class that is never the focus of attention, and after some time, he plans to transfer Mika to Neji, Sasuke, and Naruto's class so that she can grow up with Naruto and Sasuke's generation.
Doing this wouldn't be too difficult for Kuroto because he is the Principal of the Ninja Academy.
Well anyway, as for what happened to Naomi. She got a job at Ichiraku Ramen, so she along with Ayame will be serving Ramen to the customers.
…
On Neji and Sasuke's side.
While Kuroto and Shisui were engaged in a conversation related to Kuroto's plans concerning Naomi and Mika, Neji and Sasuke, were back with the rest of their peers and reminiscing on their recent experience.
"Hey, Neji, was it just me, or you were there too… I mean to ask… we did go into the woods a while ago, right?"
Neji looked at Sasuke with strange eyes, and questioned, "Of course we did! But why do you ask such a question?"
Sasuke put his hands in his pockets, and said with a helpless expression… "Well… there is a famous saying among the Uchihas… 'What we see and what we hear may not necessarily be true' it could just be… my nii-san says that reality is a very vague concept, it can easily be altered at the whim of someone…"
Neji was stunned by Sasuke's words, and asked him, "Do you mean to say that we might have been under someone's Genjutsu?"
Sasuke nodded, "It's possible… I have heard rumors that Shisui-nii-san is the strongest Genjutsu user in the Uchiha Clan and Konoha… everyone says that if he were to use a Genjutsu on us, we would never even realize it… much less resist it."
Neji didn't buy it, "I doubt that's the case… Don't get me wrong, I am not questioning Shisui-sensei's abilities, I just find it hard to believe that he would use Genjutsu on us… I mean, does he even have any reason to use Genjutsu on us…? It makes no sense."
Sasuke nodded, "Yeah… he has no reasons… but then how do you prove what we saw out there?"
Neji was left speechless, "I… this…"
Seeing that Neji didn't have anything else to say, Sasuke shook his head, no longer caring about this matter, and joined the rest of the peers, meanwhile, Neji stood where he was and looked back with a thoughtful expression.

Chapter 691: Chapter – 684 Progress of Day and Night
In the following days to come, during the daytime, Kuroto continued to train in the steel fist Taijutsu style in order to train his body and become familiar with the second gate.
To make sure that his body constantly hits the limit so that he can break them time and time again and allow his body to quickly adapt and become stronger, Kuroto decided to keep the Gates open while carrying out his Taijutsu training.
If Guy were to learn of this, he would be stunned and might even berate Kuroto for over-exerting himself too much.
After all, even if the Gate of Opening and the Gate of Healing are the first two gates, the burden they exert on the body is still a lot. There is no problem opening them for a short time, however, when kept open for several hours, it's definitely not an easy task. The body gets completely drained… this is so dangerous and it's practically self-harm… And Kuroto is barely able to carry it out, provided that his food intake has increased quite significantly as he constantly needs to recover energy.
But of course, all this trouble and inhuman penance are not without its benefit, the results of carrying out this form of training are also very obvious.
On the afternoon of the fifth day, while Kuroto was carrying out his training, he managed to successfully hit the third gate, and breach the Gate of Life… This was unexpected, as he was able to open the Gate of Life one and a half days earlier compared to his expectations.
However, when Kuroto approached the guy and asked for his help on how to open the fourth gate, he found that just a few hours ago, Kakashi also approached him with the same purpose… meaning that, Kakashi had also opened the Gate of Life.
Kuroto was shocked, 'That's unexpected… It turns out that even if I carried out such rigorous training, it still took me more time than Kakashi…'
Upon asking further about how Kakashi is carrying out his training, Kuroto soon learned that Kakashi is using Lightning Chakra to keep his cells activated while training, this approach is helping Kakashi speed up his training and it made sense.
Thankfully, Kuroto is also experimenting with things to increase his progress rate, lest he would have been left behind by Kakashi!
Well, Guy on the other hand was different… Seeing that Kuroto also managed to open the Gate of Life so early, he couldn't help but sigh, "It took me nearly one and a half years to open the Gate of Life… but the two of you managed to open it in less than a week! Compared to the two of you… I really lack any form of talent…!"
Kuroto shook his head, "That's not the case… While you were training, you had to start from the start… and you also had to carry out the basic training, to build up a solid foundation, that's why it took you so long, I and Kakashi don't have to carry out the basic training, we already have a strong foundation because of years of training, which is why our speed of progress is fast for now, eventually, it will slow down."
Guy smiled at Kuroto's attempt to console him, and said, "Kuroto… you don't have to comfort me, and I was just kidding around… To be honest, seeing the two of you learning the Eight Gates, I feel excited, and challenged… and I am loving this challenge!"
Kuroto knows that Guy is telling the truth, so he no longer discusses anything off-topic and directly asks Guy's advice on how to open the fourth gate.
After Guy gave him a detailed explanation about the fourth gate, that is the Gate of Pain and the training procedure for opening it, Kuroto thanked Guy and soon left.
Coming back to his home, Kuroto made sure no one was spying on him, and after he had confirmed, Kuroto made sure to lock the doors and windows of his house, as well as shut the curtains, then took out the storage scroll as well as the contents stored in it.
The storage scroll contained an incomplete diagram of a shinobi's chakra pathway system, as well as scrolls of hundreds of types of Fuinjutsus.
With everything present before him, Kuroto started to work on it.
For those who don't know, Kuroto basically does two things these days, one, he trains his body to open all eight gates, second, he works on the Yin-seal, and tries to improve it so that males can also use it.
And to study the Yin-seal, Kuroto uses the Homusubi Clone. The reason is that if he encounters any problem, he directly transfers his soul inside the body of the Homusubi clone and tries to figure out the solution to that problem.
The incomplete diagram of all the meridians in the body of a human has been drawn using this approach.
Having made such progress, Kuroto couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, improving the Yin seal to meet the needs of a male is not an easy task, fortunately, he has Homusubi's clone at his disposal, else, even Kuroto with his knowledge couldn't have come so far.
And Kuroto knows that what he is doing now is really useful, because, he has compared the chakra pathways of his body with that of Homusubi, and by doing so, he was able to mark several small and subtle differences in the chakra pathways.
When Kuroto discovered these subtle differences, he was very happy… for his guess was finally confirmed… the reason why the original Yin seal wasn't working on him, and why males are unable to use the Yin seal are these subtle differences, and knowing this, Kuroto also understood that as long as the working of the seal is rewritten the problem will be solved.
And since the human male body has been mapped, then the working of the seal can be rewritten with not too much difficulty.
Of course, just because Kuroto says that this will be easy, doesn't mean that it will really be that easy… If someone intends to rewrite the working of the seal as per the requirements of a male's body, then that person needs to first have mastery of Fuinjutsu…. But that is still not enough, because the rewritten seal has to be tested… which can be quite dangerous.
If the person who rewrote the Fuinjutsu made any mistake, then the life of the person using the seal will be at stake… even if it is Kuroto himself who rewrote the seal, he won't completely trust it to be harmless until he verifies it to be so.
After all, when it comes down to the level of chakra meridians, even a very minute difference can lead to very big changes, and Kuroto doesn't have any plans to risk the safety of his body.
To get rid of this doubt and try out the rewritten seal, Kuroto plans to use the trial-and-error elimination method.
He plans to use spare male clones in his laboratory as trials and correct the errors using those trials to complete the seal as early as possible.
