Chapter 769: Chapter – 762 Sasuke’s Request
"Oh… so Hiashi-sama sent you to convince me, huh?" asked Kuroto.
Hizashi didn't need to reply, just by looking at his expression, Kuroto was able to judge that his guess was correct.
Naruto's performance in the recent assessment has brought many changes in Konoha. One of those changes is the understanding of the Three Big Unexplored Sage Regions. The places that remained hidden from the entire shinobi world for over a millennium have now entered the field of vision of Konoha Ninjas.
The thing is, even if people now have some understanding of these Sage regions, going to these places is still very difficult, precisely why, when Hiashi learned that Kuroto had brought Neji the chance to go to Mount Myōboku through Jiraiya, he immediately realized that this is a very good opportunity and should not be missed.
But the problem is, the one who arranged this entire thing is Kuroto, and because there is discord between Kuroto and the main family of the Hyuga Clan, so it was difficult for Hiashi to approach Kuroto with a straight face. Therefore, Hiashi asked his younger brother Hizashi to come to Kuroto.
Seeing that Kuroto guessed the entire thing, Hizashi nodded helplessly, "Yes…"
Kuroto said with a chuckle, "Well, at least Hiashi-sama still understands how valuable this opportunity is." Then nodded, "Since he wants to send Hinata… then so be it, let the little girl try her luck as well. I will talk to Jiraiya-sama about it…"
Hizashi was slightly surprised that Kuroto agreed so easily, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great!"
Kuroto had no problem with sending Hinata to Mount Myōboku. There are several reasons, for one, Kuroto has a very good impression of her based on her cannon self. Hinata may appear to be shy and weak on the outside, but inside, she is as tough as one can get. Pain's attack on Konoha proved this while everyone watched Naruto from the sidelines and didn't have the guts to step forward and help him, Hinata didn't hesitate for a second and faced Tendo. This bravery to face an enemy she can't defeat alone is commendable.
What's more, Hinata is Yui's disciple, so that gives Kuroto another reason to approve of Hinata.

Ninja Academy
Although the Sun had almost set, several trainees were still present in the training field, rigorously training and polishing their skills.
In one of the corners of the training field, Neji and Sasuke were training together. While parrying Sasuke's attacks, Neji couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sasuke… I have been wondering… what's with those scratches on your face…?"
As Neji mentioned this Sasuke subconsciously touched his face, and replied with a dark expression, "Cats scratched my face!"
"Cats?" Neji was taken aback, and asked again, "Did you get all these wounds from cat scratches?" It was a little hard for Neji to believe that cats could do so much damage to Sasuke.
Sasuke nodded, "Yes… cats… the ones I went to sign the summoning contract with." then hurriedly added, "But they were not normal cats… they had two tails, and some even had four eyes… they called themselves Nekomata, and they were really annoying."
"I see, that makes sense." Nodded Neji, then asked, "So, how did it go? Did you get a summon?"
Sasuke shook his head weakly.
Neji was surprised, and asked curiously, "What happened?"
'Sigh.' With a sigh, Sasuke muttered, "Forget it."
Sasuke was not in the mood to talk about it right now.
Seeing that Sasuke wasn't interested, Neji didn't pursue the matter and started to pack his things.
Today it was Sasuke's turn to be confused, "Our fight isn't finished yet, you are going back home so early?"
Neji nodded, "Yes I have to go." And explained, "I have to carry out some special training before the day I go to Mount Myōboku, Sensei has brought me this rare opportunity, I don't want to disappoint him by failing."
Sasuke was taken aback when he heard Neji's words, "You are going to Mount Myōboku?"
Neji nodded, "Yes." He didn't hide this from Sasuke.
Hearing Neji's answer, Sasuke couldn't help but blurt out, "Can I come too?"
Neji was surprised. He didn't expect Sasuke to make such a request out of the blue, and shook his head with an apologetic expression, "This… I have to apologize, because… it's not in my hands."
Sasuke also realized that he shouldn't have made such a request, and apologized, "No… I am the one who should apologize, I was being too impudent."
After this matter was sorted out, Neji said goodbye to Sasuke and went to his house.
Seeing Neji going home excitedly, Sasuke felt a little envious.
…
Uchiha Clan – Patriarch's House
Back at his home, Sasuke mentioned the matter of Neji going to Mount Myōboku to his father and asked tentatively, "Tou-san… I also want to go to Mount Myōboku, is it possible?"
Fugaku was quite surprised upon learning that Hyuga Neji was going to Mount Myōboku. He didn't expect that Hyuga Kuroto would be able to convince Jiraiya and bring such an opportunity for his disciple Neji.
Even as the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, Fugaku can't say that he too can do such a thing. He still remembers the time when Shimura Danzo and Jiraiya had a major conflict over a very similar matter.
A few years ago Danzo wanted to go to Mount Myōboku and asked Jiraiya to take him, however, Jiraiya denied Danzo's request immediately without even thinking about it. This angered Danzo and caused a major conflict between the two.
And now… Jiraiya agreed so easily to Kuroto's request. 'This is indeed surprising!'
Sasuke's question broke Fugaku out of his train of thought, "Tou-san… can you talk to Jiraiya-sama as well? I want to go to Mount Myōboku as well!"
Seeing his son's earnest expression, Fugaku nodded, "I'll see what I can do."

Chapter 770: Chapter – 763 A Trip to Mount Myōboku: Meeting Gamamaru
Two days Later
It was finally time for the kids to go to Mount Myōboku, and as per Jiraiya's instructions, Kuroto led Neji and Hinata to the place where Jiraiya told him to.
As Kuroto and the two kids were waiting for Jiraiya to arrive, suddenly he noted Uchiha Patriarch coming towards them with Sasuke and Kiyomi beside him.
Seeing the three people from the Uchiha Clan coming, Kuroto muttered to himself with a doubtful expression, "Why are they coming here?"
Neji was also stunned as he noted Sasuke and Kiyomi, and immediately said to Kuroto, "Sensei… the matter of going to Mount Myōboku… I told Sasuke. So, maybe he is also…"
Hearing his disciple's words, Kuroto teased him, "You told Sasuke… aren't you afraid that your chances of getting the approval of Mount Myōboku will be reduced with two more competitors?"
Neji shook his head with a clear expression, "I am not afraid."
Kuroto smiled and shook his head.
Uchiha Kiyomi is fine, but Kuroto feels that the addition of Sasuke will cause changes to his plan, after all, Kuroto is very clear about Sasuke's identity, and considering who lives at Mount Myōboku, there is no way he won't notice that presence inside Sasuke.
Of course, even if he has such a feeling, he doesn't plan to do anything about it, if Neji still manages to get the approval of the toads, then very good, but if doesn't, then that will be a lesson for Neji.
As for the question of how come the Uchiha Clan is here? This isn't a very tough question.
Uchiha Sasuke must have requested his father to create an opportunity for him too, and Uchiha Fugaku must have talked to Jiraiya. In normal times, Jiraiya would obviously not accept Fugaku's request, but this isn't normal times.
Considering the current complex situation of the village, in order to keep the Uchiha clan happy, Jiraiya had no other choice but to agree to Fugaku's request.
In fact, Kuroto feels that even if the Uchiha clan didn't know about Neji and Hinata going to Mount Myōboku through Neji, Sandaime-sama would have still leaked this news to the Uchiha Clan using his means so that the Uchiha Clan could owe a favor to the Hokage faction.
If Jiraiya has already agreed to take two kids to Mount Myōboku, then does it really matter if one or two more kids are added?
Obviously No! Adding Sasuke and Kiyomi to the list won't matter at all.
The excellence of Sasuke and Kiyomi, especially the talent and skills of Sasuke was witnessed by everyone during the recent assessment. Knowing this, if someone says that Sandaime-sama wouldn't want to draw Sasuke to the Hokage Faction, then Kuroto wouldn't believe it.
Moreover, now that Shisui and Itachi are no longer part of the Anbu, Sandaime-sama has all the more reason to draw another Uchiha into the Hokage faction, and what better candidate than Uchiha Sasuke?
That's why we are here with Sasuke and Kiyomi also going to Mount Myōboku.
Soon after the arrival of the three Uchiha clansmen, Jiraiya also showed up.
After greeting the four kids, Jiraiya looked at Kuroto and Fugaku, as he explained, "As I already said previously, I can promise to keep the kids safe… however, whether they can get what they wish in their heart depends on their luck and abilities… I have no say on that, I hope both of you are very clear about this."
Kuroto and Fugaku nodded together.
With that Jiraiya nodded, "Alright then, now it's time for us to depart." then reverse summoned the four children and himself to the Land of the Toads.
After watching the five people disappear in a poof of white smoke, Fugaku turned towards Kuroto and said, "I owe you a favor for this time."
Fugaku is fairly clear that the only reason Sasuke and Kiyomi have the opportunity to go to Mount Myōboku is Kuroto, if not for Kuroto to convince Jiraiya, it wouldn't have been possible.
Kuroto shrugged indifferently, "Whatever." And left the place.
Even if he has no intention of changing anything about Sasuke and Kiyomi going to the Land of Toads, he is not very happy that the two of them are going too. Because he is very clear that the presence of Sasuke in the group will cause changes.
Fugaku remained silent as he watched Kuroto disappear.
…
Mount Myōboku
After arriving at the Land of the Toads, five people met with Elder Fukasaku.
When Jiraiya introduced Elder Fukasaku as his Sensei to the kids, all four of them were taken aback and looked skeptically at the small green toad with a white beard, "He is… Jiraiya-sama's Sensei? This… how is this possible?"
Feeling the skeptical gazes of the kids, Elder Fukasaku was helpless. He brought Jiraiya to the side, and asked him, "Jiraiya-chan… these kids are…?" The elder Toad was surprised to see so many humans come to Mount Myōboku.
Jiraiya was also a little helpless and explained the entire situation to Elder Fukasaku.
After hearing Jiraiya's explanation, Elder Fukasaku sighed, and then he pondered over the situation for a while, "Well, we can't take all of them; that's for sure."
Jiraiya asked, "So what to do? And how to choose?"
Elder Fukasaku thought about it, and said, "There has never been a precedent of so many people coming to Mount Myōboku before… even I don't know what to do." and added after a pause, "I suppose only Great Elder has a say in the matter."
"Then please." Said Jiraiya.
Elder Fukasaku nodded and led the five people to the hall of Gamamaru.
…
Arriving at the great hall of Gamamaru, the five people sat quietly while Elder Fukasaku tried to wake up Elder Gamamaru, "Ojiji-sama… Jiraiya-chan has brought these children from Konoha… what should we do?"
And while Elder Fukasaku explained things to Gamamaru, the four children sat beside Jiraiya with a nervous expression. They swear that this is the first time they have seen such a giant toad in their life. Although old, he still appeared to be a little scary such that Hinata and Kiyomi subconsciously grabbed the sleeves of their elder siblings.
Of course, both Neji and Sasuke were also nervous, but they tried their best to reassure their younger siblings, 'Don't worry.'
Jiraiya chuckled at the kid's behavior and waited for Gamamaru to speak.
After Elder Fukasaku explained everything to Gamamaru, the millennium-old toad with a sleepy expression swept his gaze on the four kids. His gaze passed by Hinata, Neji, and Kiyomi without stopping, however, as soon as he saw Sasuke, Gamamaru's eyes shot open, his sleepiness disappeared and an incomprehensible expression appeared on his face. Perhaps Gamamaru noted something in Sasuke and muttered, "Indra?"
