After circling a few rounds around Kuroto, baby boar that happily swallowed a few more poison sacs nudged him a few times and disappeared into the forest.
"Is it resistant to poison?" Kuroto contemplated and thought of an experimental plan.
He has been lacking a suitable experimental subject. Although using guinea pigs like rats and rabbits for conducting tests is well and good, but they aren't ideal subjects as their poison resistance is far too weak.
As such the baby boar that seems to have strong poison resistance is a good solution to his problem.
With this thought in mind, Kuroto returned home.
There are two main types of poisons Kuroto is compounding.
First: Instant Paralysis Poison.
Ingredients: Venom powder from the crushed wings of a moth, venom from the tail of the red-tailed scorpion, and venom of the giant red ant.
The venom powder of moth has a strong paralyzing effect and the venom of red-tailed scorpion increases the rate of blood circulation as well as acts as a catalyst. The concoction of the two venom results in an instant paralysis venom.
Modulating venom, A with the venom of a giant red ant will increase the activity of the resulting poison by four to five times.
Second: Killing Poison.
Ingredients: Venom of One-eyed viper, tarantula spiders, giant black centipede, and saliva of the giant red ant.
Kuroto's summon beast, the venom of the one-eyed viper is already very toxic if it is mixed with other poisons and configured as a compound toxin than the standard antidotes used by the great ninja villages would be of no use.
Of course, these are just his thesis and theories, continuous research and experimentation is the necessary process to bring these poisons into reality.
So, after a whole afternoon of hard work, Kuroto prepared a total of ten samples of which five are paralytic and the other five are killing poison.
The reason for preparing so many samples is to find out the most optimum ratio.
Seeing that it was already past afternoon, he packed up all work and decided to go to Forest of Death tomorrow to find the baby boar.
As of the evening, he has other plans.
Uchiha Clan grounds.
Itachi, who was returning home from the academy, saw that the clansmen were gathered in groups of 2 or 3 and seem to be discussing somethings, this scene also attracted his attention, so while walking he perked up his ears and listened.
"Shinichi actually lost?"
"Yes, I heard that he lost terribly and Shisui had to carry him back while unconscious!"
"Too incompetent, how could he lose? Moreover, how could the elders and clan head allow him to go after Hyuga Kuroto if he was so weak! Isn't this discrediting the reputation of the Uchihas!!!"
"Don't be an idiot! We both know that Shinichi isn't weak, he has been a Special Jonnin for about 2 years. In fact, I heard he was going to take the upcoming Jonin assessment, so how he be considered weak?"
"So, what are you trying to say? That Hyuga kid is so strong?"
"Huh! How can that be? I heard that he was just a wartime Chunin a few months ago, how can he be so strong?"
"But it stands to reason that he defeated both Shisui and Shinichi!"
"There's only one explanation to this, I say Shisui didn't take him seriously!"
"Shisui may not have taken the Hyuga kid seriously, but Shinichi also lost to him… if again someone of the Uchiha is defeated by him, then..."
"Can't let that happen!"
"Definitely send a strong one next time!"
"We have to make sure that he realizes that Uchiha are not so easy to mess around with!"
After listening for a while, Itachi walked away with a helpless expression, "Sure enough…"
The 'Sure enough' here has two meanings.
First is that the Uchiha Shinichi really lost!
The second is that the Uchiha can't swallow this defeat silently.
Full of thoughts, Itachi returned home.
While passing by the courtyard, he found his father sitting in a room while turning over some documents. In order not to disturb his father, he subconsciously relaxed his steps.
At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku suddenly called, "Itachi?"
Being called suddenly, Itachi hurriedly stood up straight, "Father, I am back!"
Uchiha Fugaku just nodded without looking back, still doing some work, and asked in a flat tone, "Did you hear the rumors circulating among the Uchiha?"
"Yes, I just heard the clansmen talking about Shinichi's loss."
Fugaku nodded and asked, "What are our thoughts on the matter?"
Itachi's talent and mature mindset are visible to most, and being his father, Uchiha Fugaku is clear about this fact more than anyone, so from a very early time, Fugaku has been training Itachi as the next Uchiha clan head.
For this reason, Fugaku occasionally asks Itachi's views on certain affairs to exercise his knowledge and thinking ability to handle political affairs.
Listening to Fugaku's question Itachi was silent for a while, and after thinking a little he replied, "For the Uchihas, this loss may be a good thing."
Listening to Itachi's reply Fugaku waved his hand noncommittally, and said, "You can go…"
Itachi bowed to his father and left the courtyard silently while busy thinking.
Past evening.
After repeatedly confirming that no one was spying on him, Kuroto shut all the windows and doors of his house.
Kuroto uses the evening time to practice various techniques involved in creating an artificial tailed beast.
To successfully create an artificial tailed beast, of course, Fuinjutsu knowledge isn't the only requirement, one must also have mastery over chakra shape transformation and some ninjutsu's should also be mastered to reduce any errors or omissions in the process of creation because there would be no opportunities for modification once any mistake happens.
Therefore, before officially starting the artificial tail beast project, Kuroto is making sure that he is 100% proficient in all the techniques required.
But to have 100% mastery there isn't any shortcut except hard work, so taking advantage of this short vacation granted by Hokage-sama, Kuroto is practicing.
Because as the saying goes 'practice makes a man perfect!', so as long he practices enough, 100% proficiency isn't difficult to achieve.
While Kuroto was busy with all the practice and hard work, On the border of Land of Fire and Land of Hot Water.
One Cloud Shinobi crushed the throat of a Konoha ninja held in his hands and said to the Jonin captain beside him, "It seems that Konoha hasn't noticed yet!"
Yugito Nii who was squatting while looking at the map spread on the ground said "However, our team seems to be slower."
Another Cloud Jonin approached her and frowned while looking at the map: "The information sent by the spies is not accurate, this is already the fastest we can go!"
"It shouldn't be the problem of the intelligence team. It is very likely that Konoha recently changed their defensive formation at this border." After a pause, Yugito Nii continued, "Forget it, continue the advancement, we must confluence with the unit led by Bee-san in two days!"
With Yugito Nii's order, more than 20 cloud shinobi dashed towards the hinterlands of Land of Fire…

Early the next morning Kuroto came to the Forest of Death carrying a bulging bag.
Initially thought that it would take some time to find the baby boar, but unexpectedly as soon as he landed near the small pond that seems to be the little guy's hunting ground, it suddenly sprang out from the bushes.
It felt as if he didn't find the Baby boar rather the baby boar found him!
As soon as it came out Kuroto observed it.
Kuroto can judge that the size of the boar is obviously bigger than it was yesterday, but several patches of hair on its torso were bitten out and bled a little along with a bulging right eye that has gone purple, it seems this guy was seriously repaired by some other wild animal.
Looking at the limping baby boar, Kuroto asked with a smile: "Who did you provoke? It looks you have been repaired quite badly huh?"
After a little bit of teasing, Kuroto put down the bag he brought along.
Taking out a large chunk of raw meat, he cut them into small pieces with a short knife and laid them on the ground.
The baby boar that was squatting aside, stared at the pieces of meat greedily with saliva dripping from the mouth which Kuroto tried his best to ignore.
After orderly placing the meat pieces, Kuroto numbered them one by one, then took out five bottles of paralytic poison and injected them into the pieces of meat numbered from 1-5.
All five bottles of paralytic poison have the same ingredients, with only a difference in their composition ratio.
The objective of today's test is finding out the right ratio for most toxicity, which he will use to further fine-tune the poison.
After doing all the preparation, Kuroto threw the No. 1 meat piece towards the baby boar.
The little guy who has been eyeing the meat pieces with pure greed in the eyes ran over as soon Kuroto threw No. 1 meat piece, and swallowed it in two or three bites.
After finishing up, it again squatted on the ground staring at the remaining pieces.
At this time Kuroto quickly observed the baby boar with his Tenseigan.
However, the baby boar who ate the No. 1 meat piece containing paralytic poison was exactly the same as it was before. There were no obvious changes in its chakra flow or muscles around it, even the blood circulation was normal.
The only thing that has changed is the saliva dripping from the corners of its mouth, which seems to be more than before.
"No effect?"
Obviously, Kuroto was annoyed with no result. The No. 1 meat strip was injected with not just some ordinary poison, but a compound paralytic poison that he carefully modulated.
According to his estimation, even chunin class ninjas might not be able to handle it.
But here he is now, the annoying little boar is completely unaffected, after taking in the paralytic poison infused meat piece, there is no effect at all, this was completely unacceptable!
The unbelievable Kuroto threw out No. 2 meat piece… and then, piece No. 3, No. 4, No. 5…
The little wild boar took all the pieces in order very politely, and after eating, there was no change except for the greasy mouth and the dripping saliva that doesn't want to stop flowing out.
Seeing the little boar affectionately nudging his leg, and rubbing its saliva on his pants, Kuroto's forehead was full of black lines.
This piggy boar doesn't have any intention of being a subject for the live poison test at all, and actually regards him as a source of food!!!
"Do you think that's all I got!!?" Kuroto, who was a little frustrated having lost against a mere baby boar, took out the sixth bottle the most lethal one in anger, injected it into the No. meat piece, and threw it to the little wild boar…
An hour later, Kuroto who returned home started a completely new toxin preparation project.
As for the previous ones?
THREW THEM AWAY!!!
Even a baby boar that only seems to have a weak poison resistance can't be affected, what value does such a poison has?
In the next few days, Kuroto continued making poison, testing poison, and re-compounding poison repeatedly.
Talking about the results?
It's not as though there was no successful result, at least the little wild boar that is his test subject was fed properly to grow strong and healthy…
It was another such morning of his daily routine when Kuroto had just left the house to go to the Forest of Death, a person was waiting at his door.
The person saw Kuroto coming out, so he stood up, and said while blocking Kuroto's path, "My name is Uchiha Hiiragi, you should already be aware of my purpose for coming here, so decide, whether you want to start here or go elsewhere!"
While looking at the thin figure who is a shinobi of the Uchiha clan blocking his way, a small note that Shisui handed him last night flashed in his mind.
'Uchiha Hiiragi, Jonin with a cold personality, good at Fire Release, Wind Release, Taijutsu, Kenjutsu, and Shurikenjutsu, weakness: poor physical strength to match his Taijutsu and Kenjutsu specialty, accustomed to taking risks in kenjutsu battle, too focused on killing the opponent.'
Based on the description of Shisui's note, Uchiha Hiiragi's abilities are quite comprehensive.
The only weakness of poor physical strength may be a serious problem in a life and death battle but in a duel between two shinobi of the same village, it's not too big of a disadvantage. Not to mention Uchiha Hiiragi must have thought of a way to complement his weak physical strength.
It can be seen that this time the Uchiha clan has worked quite hard to win back their reputation.
So, the only thing that Kuroto can take advantage of is probably Uchiha Hiiragi's habit of taking a risk when using a sword, or that he is mentality is easily affected by his killing intent.
Thinking so, Kuroto said, "Alright, come with me."
Hiiragi nodded and followed.
Leading Hiiragi to a practice site, Kuroto said, "So what do you want to compare in the duel?"
Hiiragi seemed stunned. He didn't expect Kuroto to ask this, so after thinking a little he said, "Both Ninjutsu and Taijutsu are fine, you choose whichever you want!"
Kuroto smiled and said, "Then compare in taijutsu skills."
Since his battle with Iwamoto, Kuroto has discovered that the Hyuga style taijutsu may be strong but isn't effective enough when dealing with weird ninjutsu users, so although he didn't have much expectation but he still aroused Hiiragi to limit their type of combat. But unexpectedly Hiiragi let him choose the type of battle, and naturally, he would taijutsu skills.
After deciding the battle aspect of comparison, Kuroto and Hiiragi took the battle stance.
Kuroto's body sank slightly, with both palms wrapped in blue chakra.
Hiiragi pulled out his short sword.
The morning light hit the blade of the short kife, reflecting brilliant light.
...whiiiiiiish...
A breeze blew by, blowing off a few leaves scattered around.
The leaves whirled and floated in the air, and fell on the blade of Hiiragi's short sword, and silently broke into two pieces.
Looking at the short sword Kuroto was impressed, "Nice Sword!"
If a fine sword such as this one is in the hands of a Kenjutsu master then the effective combat power of the resulting party would increase exponentially.
Even Kuroto felt a little alert from the murderous energy coming off of the sword.
Woosh!
Uchiha Hiiragi moved suddenly and like an after image accompanied by the sound of breaking wind, rushed towards Kuroto.
Although Hiiragi's speed is extremely fast, in the vision of Tenseigan, his every movement and expression were clearly visible and moving like a slow picture, so Kuroto wasn't nervous and used the Gossip-palm stikes to meet him head-on.
In the early morning when the morning dew has still not faded away, Uchiha Hiiragi's chakra-infused Short sword and Huyga Kuroto's Hyuga-style gossip palm strike are competing for dominance!
