Chapter 863: Chapter – 856 Itachi’s Concern
Ancor Vantian
Looking at the figure of Karin squirming on the operation table, Kuroto's forehead wrinkled in tension. Not long ago, a large grey patch appeared on the pure white body of 'Type I Biological Armor' worn by Karin, upon checking the state of the armor with his Tenseigan, it became clear that the tissues were in a state of Necrosis, and the Yang chakra is completely exhausted in the grey areas.
"This armor is already reaching its limit?" muttered Kuroto with a thoughtful expression as he recorded his observations.
The armor reaching its limit is nothing too surprising since Kuroto had expected this scene long ago, but it happened a bit too early, and he was caught off guard for a moment.
Fortunately, he had made a lot of preparations in advance while he was in Konoha. He has earned the required funds in the past few weeks, so he can focus on the research and development of 'Type II Biological Armour' without having to worry about money.
With such a thought in his mind, Kuroto once again looked at the tired Karin, and after carrying out a brief physical examination, he questioned her, "Do you feel any swelling in your eye sockets?"
Karin shook her head, "Not anymore."
"That's good." Nodded Kuroto.
After observing Karin's eye sockets with his Tenseigan, Kuroto noticed that the two pairs of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in her eye sockets are in the middle of a fusion state, although the fusion is not yet completed, there is some progress.
Most importantly, the Yin chakra of both eyes is rapidly merging together and giving birth to a stronger Yin. At the same time, the Yang Chakra from Karin's body is being sucked out rapidly which is also the reason why the 'Type I Biological Armour' experienced sudden degradation.
Kuroto predicts that it should take about a month or two for the initial phase of fusion to complete, after that the second phase of fusion will start, which will be the fusion of the Yin and the Yang chakra.
If the Yin and the Yang chakra in her body continue to merge together, soon, the Yin-Yang chakra will take birth in Karin's body, and she will start to understand the 'Creation of All Things'. This will be the completion of the second phase. And finally, it will be time for the third phase.
In the third phase, the Yin-Yang chakra in her body will undergo qualitative improvement. Only after the qualitative improvement reach a certain stage, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in her eye-sockets will mutate into the Rinnegan.
Through these stages, Karin will constantly need the support of Yang Chakra. It's quite obvious that she cannot rely on the 'Type I Biological Armour', it isn't capable of fully supporting her through the first stage, let alone the second and the third stage when the need for Yang chakra will drastically increase.
Therefore, it is imperative for Kuroto to immediately start working on the next Biological Armour.
With these thoughts in his mind, Kuroto sent Karin back to her living quarters and started to work on the 'Type II Biological Armour'.
The designs of the next armor were already ready, he had spent quite a lot of time perfecting the designs. Although the design and structure are somewhat complicated, with his experience of working on the 'Type I Biological Armour', there shouldn't be much problem.
…
Konohagakure, Land of Fire
"Shikaku-san… then I'll take my leave…" spoke Kuroto as he got up and bowed to the Patriarch of the Nara Clan.
The Jonin Commander of Konoha accompanied Kuroto to the entrance of the Nara Clan and reassured the young Hyuga with a smile, "Rest assured Kuroto-kun, the Ino-Shika-cho will make careful choices in the Vote of Confidence."
Although Shikaku did not explicitly state that the Ino-Shika-Cho would support him, he did drop a few subtle hints which were enough for Kuroto.
Satisfied, Kuroto walked out of the Ino-Shika-Cho district and proceeded towards the next location while accompanied by Shizune.
Walking beside Kuroto, Shizune complained, "Kuroto-kun… do you finally understand how tiring this ordeal is?" and added, "You have been hiding for so long… and the entire work was dropped on our shoulders… because of you, we have suffered so much!"
Kuroto apologized with an awkward smile, "I am sorry Shizune-san."
"What…?!" Shizune was taken aback by Kuroto's apology and blushed in embarrassment.
Looking at Shizune's embarrassed expression, Kuroto asked in confusion, "What happened?"
Shizune quickly recovered, and waved her hand, "Oh.. nothing-nothing… It… it's just that I am not used to you being so polite to me."
Kuroto's eyes flashed for a moment, before returning to normal and he spoke, "I understand, in that case, I will talk with you normally… Shizune."
Shizune nodded with a smile, "Yes, that's better."
'It seems I need to be more careful… Fortunately, Shizune-san did not think too much about it, if it was someone else… they might have realized that I am not the real Kuroto-san, but someone else acting as him in his absence.' Thought 'Kuroto' to himself.
This person, impersonating Kuroto is none other than Uchiha Itachi.
As stated previously, Kuroto has quietly left Konoha to deal with more important matters, and Itachi is acting in place of Kuroto. With Itachi's Chakra control, no one can discern that he is not Hyuga Kuroto, but Itachi still needs to work on 'interaction', lest the cover will be blown because of small discrepancies.
Just as 'Kuroto' and Shizune were walking out of the 'Ino-Shika-Cho' district, they bumped into Uchiha Fugaku and his followers who were making their way towards the 'Ino-Shika-Cho' district.
Noticing his fellow Hokage candidate, Fugaku coldly snorted. Not even attempting to hide the animosity.
'Oops… we encountered the wrong people!' Shizune exclaimed in her heart as she looked at the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan. The domineering image of the Uchiha Clan has been deeply rooted in the hearts of Konoha Shinobi, although Shizune has been under Tsunade's influence for years, she isn't that affected when facing Uchiha Clansmen, a part of her still doesn't want to deal with these prideful and arrogant people.
Shizune feared that a conflict might break out between the two sides, especially with Kuroto's reputation, after all, the young Hyuga has repeatedly fought against the Uchiha Clansmen over the years.
'Kuroto' was also a bit surprised to see the Uchiha Patriarch, and thought, 'Not good, I can't stay in front of them for too long… if they activated their Sharingan, it will be problematic.' Although a little flustered, he calmed his nerves and quickly left. As for Fugaku's hostility? 'Kuroto' did not pay much attention to it, 'If it's Kuroto-san, he wouldn't have paid them any mind. Besides, it's not like Tou-san has any chance of winning.'
Since he is the eldest heir of the Uchiha Clan, so Itachi has the duty of supporting Fugaku. Although Itachi is busy impersonating Kuroto, his shadow clone is working tirelessly to garner the support and favor of other clans. Precisely why, Itachi knows that his father doesn't have any chance of winning the Vote of Confidence.
There is a subtle difference in the treatment that he received when he visited a clan as 'Uchiha Itachi' and 'Hyuga Kuroto'. It's not that he was mistreated, or people behaved rudely… it's just there was a sense of alienation. Something he did not feel when he visited as 'Hyuga Kuroto'.
Such a difference in other people's behavior made him realize that his father really had no chance of winning the elections.
What's more ironic is that the Uchiha Clan isn't defeated by Hyuga Kuroto or the Hokage faction that is supporting him from the shadows, rather, they are their own cause of defeat. Someone who hasn't made their way into their people's hearts has no chance of becoming their leader.
Itachi has a doubt in his heart. He is puzzled why his fellow clansmen are unable to see something so obvious. Their pride and arrogance have blinded them so much that despite possessing the eyes that are a reflection of one's heart, they are unable to read other people's hearts.
'Sigh… I wonder what will be their reaction once they are defeated…' Itachi is deeply concerned about the future of the Uchiha Clan.
If the Uchiha continued to walk on the same road, it would be a dead end for them. Think of the dark possibility, Itachi's chest tightens.
'Kuroto-san… please protect the Uchiha Clan!'

Chapter 864: Chapter – 857 Type II Biological Armour
In the blink of an eye, one week passed.
During this week, the Uchiha Clan continued to mobilize their clansmen and visited all the Clans in Konoha in an attempt to garner as many votes as possible, to this end, they even went as far as to send their clansmen to visit all the Jonins of commoner background.
The actions of the Uchiha Clan surprised everyone in Konoha, no one had expected such behavior from the proud and arrogant Uchihas, be that as it may, decades of estrangement cannot be changed overnight.
The Hokage Faction has maintained its connections among all classes of shinobi for generations, through overt and covert exchange of interests, almost all the shinobi have ties with the Hokage Faction.
Additionally, the branch members of the Hyuga Clan are also putting a lot of effort into soliciting votes for Kuroto, so even though it appears that Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Kuroto are on the same level and competing fiercely for each vote, in the eyes of discerning people, the outcome has already been decided.
Because many people have already predicted the outcome of the Vote of Confidence, they are also worried about the possibility that the Uchiha Clan wouldn't be willing to accept their defeat, and might launch a Coup d'état.
Sandaime has the same worry, therefore, in addition to dealing with the matters of the Hokage Elections and the general village affairs, he is also taking countermeasures to deal with a possible rebellion.
On the bright side, Hiruzen has made the Uchiha Clan put their entire focus on the Vote of Confidence, causing all their clansmen to be busy soliciting votes for their Patriarch.
In the dark, Hiruzen is secretly communicating with the Patriarchs of the major Shinobi Clans, actively preparing for war and devising effective strategies to deal with the possible rebellion that may be launched by the Uchiha Clan following their defeat in the Vote of Confidence.
So, even though the current Konoha is in a bright, cheerful, and lively state, undercurrents of war, massacre, and bloodshed are surging in the dark.
Despite being the center of all these events, the original Kuroto is nowhere to be found in Konoha as he is still present in his floating castle.
Of course, even if he is absent in Konoha, this does not imply that he is unaware of the upper currents and undercurrents in the village. Through regular reports from Itachi, Shisui, and, Naomi, Kuroto has a solid grasp of the village's situation.
…
Ancor Vantian
Having read the regular report sent by his three subordinates in Konoha, Kuroto shifted his gaze to the Large Nutrition Tank.
In the Large Nutrition Tank, a newly created Biological Armour was floating. Compared to the crude and rough 'Type I Biological Armour', the 'Type II Biological Armour' is new and improved, its design is much more refined, it's nicely structured, and has a better appearance.
Compared to the previous model, this model has a carefully crafted and intricately designed internal chakra meridian system for better, more stable, and safer Chakra transfer from the armor to the wearer's body. Based on his calculations, Kuroto expects cubic efficiency in chakra transport, which is definitely a qualitative leap!
And that's not all… 'Type II Biological Armour' has another added feature, it has an 'Exoskeletal Muscular Structure' that increases the wearer's physical attack power. This means that the wearer not only has more Chakra to work with, but they also have a higher attack power in each of their attacks!
Kuroto even believes that the strength of a Genin wearing this armor will easily surpass a Chunin, and an experienced Chunin wearing the 'Type II Biological Armour' will be able to fight a Jonin on equal terms... There won't be too much improvement for a Jonin in terms of physical attack power, however, they will have access to an external Chakra supply which will definitely prove to be useful.
The 'Type II Biological Armour' is revolutionizing, and it wouldn't be wrong to say that the added 'Exoskeletal Muscular Structure' has transformed the 'Type II Biological Armour' from 'just a source of external Chakra Supply' to a veritable armor that can be used in battles between Shinobi.
Kuroto's expectations from the 'Type II Biological Armour' are high, after all, this is not a semi-finished product that was prepared hastily in order to cope with a sudden emergency, rather, it is the crystallization of his knowledge of Biotechnology and Chakra that he has acquired in the past two decades of his life!
Kuroto wouldn't say that the 'Type II Biological Armour' is perfect, but it is definitely a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that can immediately overturn the Shinobi World.
Feeling proud of his creation, Kuroto turned around and looked at the five Nutrition Tanks on the other end of his laboratory as a faint smile appeared on his face.
In addition to creating the 'Type II Biological Armour', Kuroto has also put his time and effort into creating the Lightning Chakra Nature Clones. The result of his effort is clearly visible in the form of five undeveloped clones floating inside the Nutrition Tanks.
If you have money, there are a lot of things you can do without having to worry about the matter of funds, and since he has earned a lot of money because of the recent events in Konoha, he is not hesitant to openly splurge to speed up Project Godhood.
Aside from the matter of funds, Kuroto has to say that his and Kakashi's cells have very good compatibility, he did not have to create thousands of samples in order to obtain the fused cell, just a few hundred were more than enough.
Although the five clones have yet to develop completely, based on the monitoring data, he is assured of their quality, all five clones are going to be high-end goods, and he probably won't have to put much effort into training this clone.
Anyway, it will still take a few weeks for the Lightning Chakra Nature clone to be ready for training and cultivation, so he doesn't need to think about it.
With such a thought in his mind, Kuroto turned back towards the 'Type II Biological Armour', and after making sure that everything was all right with it, and it was fully developed, he drained the nutrient solution and left the cultivation chamber with it and called for Karin.
…
After removing the 'Type I Biological Amour', Kuroto got a better look at Karin's overall physical condition.
The little girl has been under too much burden these past few months, because of being constantly sucked out of chakra, she has become quite weak and lost a lot of weight. Although not to the extent of the skinny Nagato back when he hadn't implanted the Hashirama Cells, she is slowly reaching that stage as the demand for yang chakra supply is increasing.
Looking at Karin's dull complexion, and painful expression, Kuroto sighed softly and while caressing her head gently, he spoke, "Karin, you have been working very hard."
Having earned Kuroto's affection and praise, Karin smiled with some difficulty as she said, "Kuroto-sama, I can still hold on, it's not that difficult."
Kuroto nodded, "I know, you are a really strong girl." Then said, "But don't worry, it will be relatively easier for you from here on… I have completed the 'Type II Biological Armour'."
"Really? That's great." Karin's expression brightened immediately.
The 'Type I Biological Armour' was starting to lose effect, as it was no longer that effective in supplying Chakra, so the burden on her body was continuously increasing, but now that the 'Type II Biological Armour' is completed, it will be much easier for her.
After cleaning up her body, Kuroto made Karin wear the 'Type II Biological Armour'.
As 'Type II Biological Armour' started supplying her with Chakra, Kuroto documented the changes, and asked, "How do you feel?"
After a while of silence, Karin exclaimed in surprise, "Kuroto-sama… this one… it's really good! So much chakra is flowing into my body! And… and… it's much more comfortable to wear, it doesn't hurt!"
Kuroto nodded, "The chakra supply is tripled." And added after a pause, "And its design will allow more range of movement."
After he was done recording everything he wanted, Kuroto instructed Karin, "Try walking… let's see how it fairs… and also try to test the muscle strength."
Karin followed Kuroto's instructions. After a seamless walk and a few short sprints, she performed a few hops, she spoke in an excited tone of voice, "Kuroto-sama… this is so good. After putting on the 'Type II Biological Armour', It's as if my strength has suddenly increased!"
Kuroto nodded, "That is natural." This was all within his expectations.
After all the tests were completed, Kuroto called back Karin and checked her state with his Tenseigan.
"The timing was perfect, and everything is set… at least, the next two stages should proceed without a hitch."
