To be honest, Kuroto is not worried whether Sandaime-sama will figure out that it was he and Shisui who disguised as Suijin and Homusubi just based on their abnormal behavior.
After all, no one knows what kind of personality traits does the two members of Amatsukami have.
What he cared about was the reaction Sandaime-sama would have once he hears that Homusubi has the Mangekyou Sharingan.
From the doubtful look that Sandaime had when he read the report, Kuroto guessed that the Uchiha Patriarch concealed this part of information about Homusubi.
'Honestly, has Uchiha Fugaku finally gone mad, why not use this opportunity to blame Homusubi for the Kyuubi's attack?' – Kuroto was really confused by Uchiha Fugaku's actions.
In Kuroto's opinion, this was an excellent opportunity, as long as the blame for Kyuubi's attack is transferred to Homusubi, the hostility that the village leaders have towards the Uchiha Clan will decrease, and slowly and steadily the two sides can mend their relationship.
But Uchiha Fugaku concealed this from Sandaime-sama, by doing this not only did they miss the perfect opportunity to solve their problems, but it also increased the distrust between the two factions.
Kuroto couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment, Uchiha Fugaku also expressed his true intentions by doing so, and it really disappointed Kuroto.
Taking a look back at the Hokage Building, Kuroto withdrew his thoughts.
Following the rules, if a ninja performing the task fails to complete it, like in the case with Team-11 where they were unable to protect the Kumo delegation, he will be severely punished, so accordingly, Team-11 must receive serious punishment.
But the fact that even Sandaime himself was not able to capture or kill the bounty-nin responsible, and returned without any success, so no one mentioned the matter of punishment.
Therefore, Team-11 not only did not get punished but in fact, they received one week-long vacation to perfectly recover from all the injuries that the team suffered.
Therefore, the first thing that he did was to go to the Konoha Hospital. Their injuries were all treated by the Anbu medical unit in the past three days, but a careful check has to be conducted at the hospital.
…
At the Konoha Hospital.
After checking the injuries on Kuroto's body, the medic-nin on duty nodded and said, "The frostbite you suffered has been cured and all that's left are just some skin wounds, nothing to worry about, take enough rest and you will recover soon enough, there is no need to use Iryo Ninjutsu."
Kuroto nodded and said with an embarrassed look, "I have to start with some serious training, so it would be really helpful if Furofuki-sensei heals these injuries…"
The medic-nin Furofuki-sensei shook her head helplessly and used Iryo Ninjutsu to heal all the skin injuries.
After the treatment was finished, Kuroto removed the bandages wrapped over his body and quietly left the hospital.
The purpose of him coming to the Konoha Hospital and getting his injuries healed was just an excuse.
Because next he is going to be meeting the Hyuga Patriarch, and since the Water Clone Body doesn't have the curse of Caged Bird so he obviously can't use this clone body to meet the Patriarch, after all, Hiashi-sama must have his ways of sensing the Curse Seal.
Therefore, Kuroto can't risk it, he must be in his main body when meeting the Patriarch, but there was a problem, his water body had suffered several injuries, and he was to take the main body that does not have any injuries, then it would be hard to explain, so he came to Konoha Hospital to get his wounds healed to get rid of loopholes.
With that out of the way, Kuroto who had changed his body came to the Hyuga Clan territory.
Hyuga Hiashi was obviously restless for the past three days, so as soon as he received the news that Kuroto came to see him, he immediately asked the maid to bring him in.
Under the escort of a maid, Kuroto came to the study of Hyuga Hiashi.
After the maid was done pouring tea for the two, she withdrew from the study leaving Kuroto and Hiashi.
The Hyuga Patriarch couldn't take it anymore, "I heard about everything that took place, who were the two bounty-nin?"
Kuroto just shook his head and apologized, "Please forgive me Hiashi-sama it would be best for you to not know the details of all the event as we have been ordered by Hokage-sama to not reveal them, what I can tell you is that I and the other Anbu were ambushed and Watanabe's corpse was taken away by the two bounty-nin, their reason seems to be the bounty on his head."
Hiashi nodded, if Hokage-sama has restricted them to not reveal this matter, then Hiashi wasn't going to pressure Kuroto, but he worried nonetheless, "I heard that even Sandaime-sama and the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan failed to stop them, and some of the Anbu also died?"
Hiashi obviously didn't suspect that Kuroto was one of those bounty-nin, for one, the bounty-nin seems to be the user of Ice Release, and secondly, the strength displayed by the bounty-nin.
Hyuga Kuroto is undoubtedly very strong, Hiashi knows this, but he doesn't believe that Hyuga Kuroto would be strong enough to go toe-to-toe against Hokage-sama.
What Hiashi considered was the possibility of a cooperative relationship between Kuroto and those bounty-nin, therefore, he asked about that bounty-nin.
Now that Kuroto has confirmed that he didn't know the two, Hiashi has mixed feelings.
Hiashi is relieved that Kuroto didn't collude with shinobi of unknown origin, but he is also worried that the bounty-nin took away Watanabe's corpse, which means that they now know the true cause of his death.
If they openly publicized this matter, whether Kuroto, Hiashi, or the rest of the Hyuga clan, the implication would ultimately land upon them, and I am afraid that the follow-up trouble would be worrisome.
Kuroto seems to realize Hiashi's worries and said, "Patriarch, you don't have to worry too much, firstly no one would believe the words of a bounty-nin over the words of a loyal shinobi, and the possibility of Hokage-sama suspecting the Hyuga Clan just based on the rumors is very less, besides even if he suspects the Hyuga Clan, he wouldn't make any move without any solid evidence, the same case applies to Kumogakure."
Hiashi nodded in understanding, in fact, he also understands that unless Watanabe's body is directly found in the Hyuga Clan territory, it would be impossible to implicate or cause any substantial harm to the Hyuga Clan.
At this time Kuroto said, "Patriarch, I am sure you must have also realized this, but there are still many loopholes that are yet to be filled, for one, how did Watanabe manage to sneak into the Hyuga Clan territory? How was he able to get past all the security? Most of all, how did he know the layout of the Patriarch's mansion, that he was able to find Hinata-sama's sleeping quarters?
Not to mention, Watanabe, who is a ninja of another village, even the shinobi of Konohagakure shouldn't be able to do this, an enemy being aware of such precise details is quite concerning."
Hiashi nodded with a serious look, he has been considering these matters for a while and the only possibility is that there is a traitor in the Hyuga Clan, and he is hostile not only towards the Clan but also towards the village.
Hiashi can be sure of this because the layout of the Patriarch's mansion is even unknown to the Hokage.
Only the members of Hyuga Clan with Byakugan can help the outsiders to get past all the security of the Hyuga Clan territory and sneak into the Patriarch's mansion to be able to kidnap the young lady.
It's is impossible for others to do so.
With a light sigh, Hiashi said, "I did a preliminary investigation in the past three days, but I have yet to find anything or any sign that would give away any clue."
Even Kuroto pondered a little, 'Who could it be?'
Initially, Kuroto thought that it might be Shimura Danzo, but then he quickly eliminated that possibility.
For one thing, Kuroto can be sure that Shimura Danzo is not aware of the layout of the Hyuga Patriarch's mansion, secondly, Shimura Danzo has no reason to do so. Danzo may have some hostility towards Kuroto, and certain dissatisfaction towards the Hyuga Clan for not allowing him to recruit any Hyuga shinobi in Root, but Danzo wouldn't be foolish enough to do anything against the Hyuga Clan before he destroys the Uchiha Clan.
Because if he takes any action against the Hyuga Clan before that, then the Hyuga would be offended and forced to ally themselves with the Uchiha, and since, the Hyuga shinobi are the most amicable in the village so they would obviously get support from the other major shinobi clans, overall, Danzo would be offending pretty much all the clans if he takes any action against Hyuga.
Besides, Kuroto doesn't think Danzo would collude with the shinobi of an enemy village and let him harm Konoha, at least not until he can be sure of his position. Even if the original story, whether it was destroying the Uchiha Clan or letting Sandaime be killed at the hands of Orochimaru, Danzo's main purpose was the position of Hokage, not to destroy Konoha.
And the person who assisted Watanabe obviously wanted to drag Hyuga Clan into the muddy waters, instigating both the major clan, Uchiha and Hyuga to take part in a civil war.
In other words, the ultimate aim of that person is not only to destroy the Hyuga Clan but also to destroy Konoha.

And if it can be determined that the traitor is an insider, then the scope of the investigation will be narrowed.
All the members of the Main branch can be excluded because they enjoy the power and status brought by the clan, they wouldn't have any reason to betray the clan.
Even among the members of the Branch division, the number of people who are truly dissatisfied or have a conflict with the Main family wouldn't be too many, as long as those people are checked one by one, then the traitor can be easily identified.
Hiashi said, "Well, I will keep an eye out on that matter."
Kuroto nodded, he doesn't need to mention this matter to Patriarch, as the leader of the Clan, Hiashi-sama would surely give his all to narrow down the traitor.
With that out of the way, Hiashi finally heaved a relieved sigh, and said, "Putting aside that matter, I must express how grateful I am to you Kuroto-Kun, no matter how the situation turned out because of the intervention of bounty ninja, your timely response to resolve the crisis is something I am very grateful for!"
Kuroto shook his head, and said, "This is just my responsibility as a shinobi of the Hyuga Clan, if Hyuga Clan faces hardship, then I have to help out in any way, I can."
Hiashi smiled, "Be that as it may, I would like to reward you. Speak your desire, as long as it is within an acceptable range, I will see that it is fulfilled."
Rejecting Patriarch's good intention would be disrespectful, so Kuroto was silent and thought, 'what can I ask?'
Hiashi didn't disturb Kuroto and allowed him to think carefully.
After some consideration, Kuroto spoke, "Hiashi-sama must be aware that during the incident, Yui encountered the bounty-nin, although I am happy that she wasn't seriously injured, the matter could have gone worse, is it possible for her to be transferred and receive formal training of the main family techniques?"
Hiashi was surprised and questioned, "If I am not wrong, you have mastered the techniques of the main family, have you not?"
Kuroto nodded, he has indeed mastered the techniques, there was no reason to hide it.
"So, why not teach her yourself, there was no reason to ask?" – asked Hiashi.
"I am mostly busy with the Anbu missions and therefore, it is not possible for me to help her in her training, moreover her combat style is a bit varied and quite different from mine, so I am not sure if I will be able to train her if Himeji-sama would be willing to train Yui…"
Hiashi was silent for a while and after a little consideration he finally nodded with a smile, "Alright, Yui's talent is good, so it would be worth it, I will see that It happens!"
Kuroto bowed to Hiashi gratefully.
Hiashi just smiled and said, "Don't worry Kuroto-Kun, the times are changing, I think it is also time for the stuck up Hyuga Clan to change, it would be a bit objectionable but I will see that certain things are changed, you needn't worry, I think Himeji will also be happy to have Yui as her disciple."
…
Uchiha Clan
Uchiha Fugaku sat in his study doing some paperwork.
Knock… Knock… Knock…
At this time, a knock came from the door.
"Come in."
Followed by the command, the gate was opened, and Uchiha Shisui entered the room.
"Patriarch, you wanted to see me?" – asked Shisui.
Fugaku didn't raise his head from the report he was reading and just said, "Sit down."
"Yes!" – said Shisui and took his seat.
For a while, there was silence and just the sound of paper scratching resounded as Fugaku was finishing with the paperwork.
Shisui did not disturb, just sat silently.
After he was done with the paperwork, Fugaku lifted his head and observed the injuries on Shisui's body, he had a worried expression seeing those injuries.
Fugaku was really panicked when he received the news that Shisui suffered a sneak attack from Amatsukami.
Currently, in the Uchiha Clan, only he and Shisui have the Mangekyou Sharingan, if something was to happen to Shisui, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Uchiha Clan that has begun making preparation of a Coup d'état.
After learning that the injuries he suffered were just some frostbite, and nothing too serious, Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was really glad that Shisui's eyes were not stolen.
'Perhaps because Sandaime was pretty close that at the time, that the bounty ninja did not have the chance to steal Shisui's eyes!' – thought Fugaku as that could be the only reason he thinks of.
As for the real reason, that is obviously different, for one, the ambush part is just made up, but even if it was real, Shisui isn't much worried, as he has a seal placed on both of his eyes, according to which, if his eyes are removed without deactivating the seal than his eyes would be destroyed. With this even if someone does manage to steal his Mangekyou Sharingan, they wouldn't be able to use it.
Shisui took Kuroto's help in putting this seal after much consideration, Kotoamatsukami is a very dangerous technique, therefore, Shisui doesn't want it to go into the hands of someone who could harm Konoha and the Uchiha Clan.
And only Kuroto and Shisui are aware of this information, not even Kakashi and Guy are aware of this.
Noticing Fugaku's silence, Shisui asked, "Fugaku-sama!?"
Upon Shisui's beckoning, Fugaku put aside his thoughts and questioned, "Describe the events that took place, and how did you end up encased in an ice tree!"
Hearing Fugaku's questioning, Shisui didn't hesitate and reveal the same information as they have revealed to Sandaime-sama, and finally, he said, "I didn't expect that all three of them would be so strong and was caught off guard when Homusubi used Mangekyou Sharingan!"
Fugaku nodded, although he didn't know what Mangekyou Sharingan Dojutsu Shisui has, Fugaku understood the strength that Homusubi has, and no matter how talented, Shisui is still somewhat young, so it's not strange for him to have lost.
At this time said, "I can be certain that Homusubi is not Shinichi, he is a traitor and most likely the person responsible for controlling the Kyuubi, although I haven't yet figured out as to who exactly he is, betraying the clan and the village is unforgivable. I have deployed people to collect information about him and keep track of him, as soon as he appears and we get the wind, you will come with me to kill him, letting an unstable figure with Mangekyou Sharingan is highly problematic and must be resolved."
"Yes!" – Shisui nodded.
"Also, I am quite certain that Sandaime will deploy personnel to collect all the possible intelligence about both Amatsukami and Akatsuki, so keep your eyes and ears open!"
"Yes, I will make sure!" – Shisui agreed.
"And lastly, do not run around carelessly, both Amatsukami and Akatsuki are dangerous, so it would be best to be very careful when dealing with them, lest damage will be irrecoverable, is that clear?" – Fugaku warned.
Shisui again nodded helplessly, "Yes, Fugaku-sama, I will be careful!"
…
3 days back.
Inside a dark cave somewhere in the Land of Rain.
Several illusionary projections of different members of the Akatsuki Organization could be seen standing in a circle.
This is another one of a rare gathering of all of the Akatsuki members.
Pain, the leader of Akatsuki looked at Kakuzu and Sasori and said flatly, "Tell me what exactly happened, in detail!"
Sasori was silent, he didn't say a word.
Seeing this Pain turned towards Kakuzu, who spoke, "We encountered two members of Amatsukami last night, at that time, they seem to have offended Konoha and were being chased by Sandaime Hokage and Uchiha Fugaku, along with many Anbu and Uchiha Clan elites..."
Kakuzu described the details of the entire incident.
Everyone was again surprised by the bold actions of Amatsukami and the fact that they escaped the siege of such people.
Pain has to also acknowledge and seriously pay attention to this seemingly new organization called Amatsukami.
Hiruko said, "With 'Yama,' 'Suijin,' and now this 'Homusubi' there are three known members of Amatsukami, right?"
Kakuzu nodded, "Yes!"
Shinno said, "Are members of Amatsukami really so strong?"
Without waiting for Kakuzu to speak, Sasori said coldly, "Are you questioning me?"
Shinno just smiled lightly and did not speak any further.
At this time, Uchiha Shinichi spoke with a smirk, "Do you know why Amatsukami was being pursued by the Hokage and Uchiha Patriarch?"
The eyes of all the members turned towards Uchiha Shinichi.
Seeing that everyone turned towards him, Shinichi said, "I received news that the head ninja of Kumogakure who was the leader of the delegation and was responsible for signing the peace treaty between the two nations was killed by the members of Amatsukami for the bounty on his head, and Hokage not wanting to lose the face of his village anymore personally chased but could neither capture the culprit nor take back the corpse, hahaha… it's so funny, the Hokage is completely useless… one after other people are using Konoha as their playground and all he does is sitting in his cozy office smoking tobacco… so pathetic!"
Shinichi is obviously very happy that Konoha is facing so many difficulties one after another, the Hokage doesn't value his people, he should suffer, as for the question of whether he is worried about being destroyed?
Obviously, no. Hyuga Kuroto is part of Konoha, so how could it be destroyed so easily?
Pain was silent for a while and said, "Continue with the missions and keep an eye out for any intelligence of Amatsukami. Hiruko, and Shinno, you both will now enter the Land of Fire, also Sasori and Kakuzu, solve the matter of Orochimaru as soon as possible and then start an in-depth investigation of Amatsukami."
Hiruko narrowed his eyes, it appeared that he was hesitating slightly but nodded, "Alright!"
Shinno also nodded, "Yes!"
Sasori said, "I need to remodel my body, so it will take some time."
Kakuzu also said, "I too need to restock a few of my hearts that were damaged!"
Pain knew that Sasori and Kakuzu's combat power would be affected otherwise so nodded, "Acceptable!"
"One thing I want to warn everyone, I don't care if you all take it seriously or not, but the members of Amatsukami are very cunning and vicious, as seen in both the encounters we had with them, so it would be best to be careful of this!" – said Kakuzu.
Everyone had a different reaction to this but nobody voiced their opinion.
With that out of the way, one-by-one the holographic projections of the Magic Lantern Body Technique disappeared one after another, and the view of the eternal rain of Amegakure came into the view.
Taking a look at the clouds, Tendo Pain sitting on the tongue of the stone statue stood up and walked inside the room.
Inside, Uchiha Madara wearing the Orange mask stood leaning on the sidewall.
As pain walked in, he questions, "So?"
Tendo Pain didn't turn to look at Madara, just relayed all the information and said, "Perhaps we have to pay some attention to Amatsukami!"
In Pain's view, just two members, who aren't even leaders of that organization played around with Konoha, one of the great shinobi villages; like tools in their hands. The entire pursuing force return empty-handed, moreover Kakuzu and Sasori were involved in the fiasco against their will.
As for how strong is Yama to have shinobi of such capability under his command, Pain knows nothing about it.
As such, Pain has to consider Amatsukami a threat, even if a minor one.
"Should I search them?" – asked a Kunoichi. She has short, straight blue hair with a bun, grey eyes that are cold and devoid of any emotion, along with lavender eye shadows, and a labret piercing. A greyish-blue paper flower clipped on her bun, and fair skin, finally she wore the traditional Akatsuki high neck turtle Akatsuki Cloak.
Pain turned towards the Kunoichi named Konan and shook his head, "It's not time yet."
Because Pain has a feeling that he will soon have an encounter with Yama.
Madara pondered a little and said, "I will soon be going to the Land of Fire for a while, the Uchiha Clan needs someone to add fire!"
