Chapter 827: Chapter – 820 Guesses
"Uchiha?!" muttered the masked man, looking at the Uchiha Clansmen. For a while, his gaze stayed on the Uchiha Patriarch, then shifted to Uchiha Itachi, and finally rested on Uchiha Shisui.
Looking at the Uchiha Shisui who seemed to be ready for battle, his expression under the mask turned gloomy, as he thought, 'So it seems that Shinichi was working under the orders of Uchiha.'
By now, there is no doubt that the person who ordered Shinichi to enter Akatsuki as a spy is the Uchiha Clan, the fact that Uchiha Clansmen came for Shinichi's rescue after his defection from the Akatsuki Organization proves this.
But for the masked man, this is very surprising considering Uchiha Patriarch's nature.
In his opinion, the current Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan is an indecisive person. He never expected that such a man would order Shinichi to join the Akatsuki as a spy.
Precisely why, the masked man never put the man in his eyes, and he only considered Uchiha Shisui as a genuine threat from the Uchiha Clan.
However, now it seems that he was mistaken about Uchiha Fugaku, and he will have to pay more attention to Uchiha Fugaku as well.
The exhausted Shinichi stood up with support from a Uchiha Clansman, and complained to Fugaku, "Patriarch-sama, what took you so long? If you had come a little late, I would have been dead!"
Fugaku didn't answer and remained silent.
He was thinking about the outcome of the battle should they face the masked man.
Fugaku has an understanding of Shinichi's strengths. Considering his Mangekyou Sharingan, Shinichi is no pushover, yet the masked man was able to easily push him into such a desperate state without any injury.
'It seems even Shinichi doesn't have any good counter against his space-time Jutsu.' Fugaku thought as he looked at the masked man.
However, even if that's the case, Fugaku is not afraid. No matter how difficult to kill the masked man is, he won't be able to harm them. After all, he and Shisui both have Mangekyou Sharingan.
But of course, even if Fugaku is not afraid, he can't deny the possibility of the presence of other members of Akatsuki around, therefore, he didn't make any rash move.
If it's up to him, he wouldn't want to incite a conflict with the Akatsuki at this stage, not when the village is not ready to fight the Akatsuki.
Similar to Fugaku, the masked man was also weighing things.
The masked man doesn't care about the presence of other Uchiha, even the presence of the Uchiha Patriarch can be ignored. However, Uchiha Shisui… 'I can't risk a battle against him' These are his genuine thoughts.
It's not that he can't fight Uchiha Shisui, no that's not the problem, the problem is Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan ability. If by some chance, Uchiha Shisui manages to affect him with his 'Kotoamatsukami', that would be troublesome.
The masked man doesn't have any counter for 'Kotoamatsukami', therefore, he doesn't want to take such a risk.
Moreover, he has to consider the possibility of interference from Amatsukami.
Konoha has been cooperating with the Amatsukami for a while now, and he wouldn't be surprised if members of that organization were to appear here all of a sudden.
'No, I can't risk it.' Thought the masked man as he took one last glance at Shinichi, 'You get to live' and then disappeared.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as the masked man left, then under Fugaku's order, they quickly left the area, and took Shinichi back to Konoha.
…
Ancor Vantian
Caw! Caw! Caw!
As he noticed the crow summon coming to the room, Kuroto raised his hand and allowed it to land on his hand.
After that, he took out the small scroll tied to its leg read the content of the scroll, and nodded to himself, "Good." There was no change in his expression.
The scroll was sent by Shisui, and it told Kuroto that they had successfully met with Uchiha Shinichi and were on their way to Konoha.
This entire Uchiha Shinichi rescue operation was obviously arranged by Kuroto. And how did Kuroto know of this?
Well, before Shinichi went after the puppet, he had already sent his summon cat to Kuroto, in order to tell Kuroto what he is going to do and that he would probably need some help later. Along with that, he also informed Kuroto about his current situation at the organization and told him that leaving it would be better since he is useless there.
Kuroto didn't oppose Shinichi's actions and allowed him to do what he was doing, as for helping him, although he could have gone, he was busy with something very important, therefore, he told Shisui and instructed him to disclose this information to the Uchiha Patriarch.
Fugaku has been seeking Shinichi's return to the Uchiha Clan, so upon learning this news from Shinichi, he immediately leads an elite unit out of Konoha in order to make sure that Shinichi is safely brought back to the village.
Putting the matter of Shinichi to the side for a while, Kuroto thought about the person who approached the Akatsuki.
He didn't have to guess too much, it was obvious that the person was Hyuga Aoki.
However, this confused Kuroto.
The information that Aoki is exchanging with Akatsuki, Kuroto is not worried about that. It's quite obvious that Aoki doesn't know the identity of the leader of Amatsukami nor does he know any secret about the Amatsukami.
Why is Kuroto so sure?
The answer is simple. If Aoki really knew the identity of the leader of Amatsukami, he wouldn't try to recruit Kuroto as a subordinate.
That's why Kuroto believes that Aoki is either trying to fool the Akatsuki or has made some misjudgment about the identity of the leader of Amatsukami.
Rather than the misjudgment that Aoki has made about the identity of the leader of Amatsukami, what concerns Kuroto more is Aoki's intention to cooperate with the Akatsuki. Based on Kuroto's judgment of Aoki's attitude after he obtained the Giant Tenseigan of the Hyuga Clan unless exposed to a stronger threat, he wouldn't try to cooperate with the Akatsuki.
And what's important here is that Aoki has labeled Amatsukami as the common enemy of both Akatsuki and, which is quite interesting. Kuroto doesn't think he had any interaction with Aoki while acting as a member of Amatsukami, so what kind of enmity?
In the current shinobi world, other than Amatsukami, Akatsuki, and Five Great Shinobi Villages, the only other power that can put enough pressure on Aoki is the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon. Kuroto had an encounter with the Toneri's puppet, it wouldn't be strange if Aoki also encountered that puppet.
If that is indeed true, then Aoki has probably mistaken the Otsutsuki on the moon to be the power behind Amatsukami. This also explains why he and Amatsukami have enmity.
'I guess this is a good development for me…' thought Kuroto as he thought of how to use this misjudgment to his advantage.
"I suppose I will wait until I have the opportunity to make those moves." Muttered Kuroto with a smile as he put his attention back on the Biological Armor he had been working on.

Chapter 828: Chapter – 821 The Promise
Shinichi's return caused quite a stir in Konoha.
As a former member of Akatsuki, although he didn't do too many bad things, he did after all participate in all of Akatsuki's actions. He was part of the team attacking Konohagakure, and Iwagakure, including the Tsuchikage, many people opposed his return and wanted him to be punished for his crimes.
For Konoha, Shinichi's return means something else entirely. Even if Shinichi was part of Akatsuki, his return meant that there was another Kage-level combat power in the village, at the same time, it also meant that they could finally get an understanding of the Akatsuki Organization.
The benefits of accepting him back in the village far outweighed the benefits of punishing him.
Therefore, including the Uchiha Clan, many people vouched for Shinichi's acceptance in the village, and the decision was made accordingly.
Even if it was decided that he would be accepted, a proper inquiry had to be conducted.
So, Shinichi had to spend the last week in the interrogation room and tell everything that was asked of him.
Finally, after he gave all the information that was asked of him, Shinichi was allowed to leave the interrogation room and return to the Uchiha grounds.
Of course, he wasn't completely free. Although he was allowed to freely move in Konoha, however, he couldn't step out of the village without Hokage-sama's permission. At the same time, a shinobi assigned by Hokage-sama will always accompany him at all times.
And now that he was free to move, Kuroto finally contacted him to understand the situation. After the two talked for a while, Kuroto brought him to his former laboratory.
As for the shinobi who has to accompany Shinichi? Well, fooling that person isn't such a big issue for the likes of Shinichi and Kuroto.
…
Forest of Death, Konohagakure
Following Kuroto for a while, the two arrived at a tree, and as Kuroto removed the barrier, the passage leading underground was opened.
Walking through the dark passage, the two arrived at Kuroto's former laboratory.
Since obtaining Ancor Vantian, Kuroto has moved almost everything to the air fortress. Now this place is only used for carrying out some small operations and experiments that involve others. For instance, the Hashirama Cells implantation operation that Shisui went through was performed here.
Shinichi curiously looked at everything in the laboratory, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration, "Tsk... tsk… Boss… I didn't expect that you would have such a place here. I doubt anyone in the village knows about this place, right?"
"Shisui and Itachi do." Answered Kuroto as he walked deeper into the laboratory.
Shinichi restrained his curiosity and followed Kuroto.
Coming to the deepest section of the laboratory, Kuroto removed the seals in the area and revealed a Cloning Capsule.
Inside the cloning capsule, Uchiha Kurumi's body was kept, her injury was healed and her body was spotless.
At first glance, anyone would think that she is only asleep, and there is nothing amiss with her.
But both Kuroto and Shinichi knew that she was in fact, dead.
Looking at the lifeless body of Kurumi on the other side of the glass, Shinichi's breath quickened, "Boss… she…"
Kuroto leaned on the wall with his arms folded on his chest, and said, "Don't worry… the promise I made to you will not be broken. That's why I have done everything I can to preserve her body."
In order to preserve Uchiha Kurumi's body, Kuroto has used all the latest technology he can access. This is done in order to fulfill his promise to Shinichi.
For the resurrection of Kurumi the better the state of her body, the less difficult it will be to bring her back to life.
Shinichi nodded and once again looked at Kurumi. This time, his eyes got wet. He immediately turned his head to the side, trying to make sure that Kuroto didn't notice.
Seeing through Shinichi's intention, Kuroto smiled and left the storage room without saying a word.
After a while, Shinichi walked out of the storage room with swollen eyes and marks of tears on his face.
Seeing that Kuroto was looking at him with a smile, Shinichi rubbed his eyes and said, "Ah… I got something in my eyes, it was really uncomfortable."
Kuroto shook his head with a chuckle, "Sure, whatever you say."
Shinichi knew that he couldn't fool Kurot, and sighed. Then he looked at Kuroto and sincerely expressed his gratitude, "Boss… thank you."
Kuroto waved his hand, "Don't worry about it. This was the content of your deal. And don't thank me yet, she still has to be resurrected, which will take some time, I hope you can wait a little more."
Shinichi nodded, "I will." And asked, "Ah… that… can you give me an idea of how much time will it take?"
Kuroto thought about it, and explained, "I can't say for certain, but at least three years."
Based on Kuroto's speculation, after he crosses the threshold of the Six-Path level, and fully grasps the Yin-Yang Release as well as Creation of All Things, he will be able to bring the dead back to life as well.
But he will be able to do that only after he has completed Project Godhood.
Considering the current progress, of the six clones, four are nearly completed. The factor of Chakra sources is also being taken care of thanks to the Yin seal and Eight Inner Gates that he is working on. The optimization of the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual, looking for location, preparing the ritual ground, and other things will have to be considered as well. Therefore, Kuroto believes that it will take him at least three more years to complete Project Godhood.
"Three years huh?" muttered Shinichi with a thoughtful expression and nodded, "I understand."
The promise Kuroto made was to resurrect Kurumi after fifteen years. Currently, it hasn't even been a decade, so three more years don't exceed the agreement.
Kuroto smiled, "Good." And added, "Since that's out of the way, let's talk about Akatsuki now."
