Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

On the scroll sent by Shinichi, he briefly mentioned the recent task that was assigned to him and Biwa Juzo, the task was to capture a Swift Release Kekkei Genkai user in the land of Whirlpool.

“Firstly, Storm Release, and now Swift Release…?”

Putting down the scroll from his hand, Kuroto’s expression gradually became a solemn one.

If hearing the news of the Storm Release Kekkei Genkai user disappearing led Kuroto to guess, but now that he received the brief summary of the task that Shinichi was assigned with clearly answers his doubts. Kuroto can surely conclude that this is being done under Hiruko’s directives.

‘It seems that Hiruko has indeed completed his imperfect Chimera Technique.’

The reason why Kuroto was not in a hurry to obtain the Chimera Technique was that he believed that it would take Hiruko at least a decade or more to be able to complete his imperfect Chimera Technique.

Kuroto didn’t really expect that Hiruko who has joined Akatsuki would complete ‘his’ Chimera Technique so early, this was beyond Kuroto’s calculations and planning, and now that things have gone a little off-track Kuroto is caught off guard.

‘Since Hiruko has already targeted Storm Release and Swift release, then he must have also been eyeing other Kekkei Genkai.’ – After a pause, Kuroto continued his thought, ‘With Akatsuki Organization assisting him in his plans of capturing the Kekkei Genkai users he has been targeting, it would be impossible for the targets to escape his palms, it’s also possible that he has already succeeded in gathering all of them.’ – As Kuroto though this, a sudden sense of crisis emerged in his heart.

Kuroto has to brainstorm a method to get his hands on that imperfect Chimera Technique, otherwise, it would be very very very difficult to obtain the information on the Chimera technique once Hiruko completes his Kekkei Genkai Stealing/Absorption Plan.

It must not be forgotten that in the original series, Hiruko’s strength took a massive boost even after he fell short of success and failed to merge the last Kekkei Genkai, which was Sharingan, so even with his Kekkei Genkai Absorption Plan unsuccessful, he and his bird alone were easily able to overpower the combined might of the Konoha-11, and Kakashi.

And if Hiruko managed to complete his Kekkei Genkai Absorption Plan, then there is no telling just how high will his strength evolve.

When that happens, it would be very difficult to extract out the secrets of the Chimera technique from the hands of Hiruko, as such, Kuroto must do what he can to get his hands on the Chimera Technique which is the most crucial step for his Project Godhood!

So, after making up his mind, Kuroto again wrote a message on a scroll that will be sent to Shinichi, the content of the scroll was an order for Shinichi to pay close attention to Hiruko’s every move and keep Kuroto notified.

Now Kuroto is obviously very anxious about which Kekkei Genkai Hiruko is targeting, whether they are the same as in the Original Series or is there some degree of deviation? Sas he succeeded in obtaining all of them, and lastly, when and where will the ritual to absorb the Kekkei Genkai take place, will it be the very same Mount Shumisen or some other place?

…

Next Day.

As soon as Kuroto and Shisui met for their regular duty to keep a watch over Uzumaki Naruto, Kuroto noticed that Shisui had a sullen face.

Curious, Kuroto asked, “What’s wrong, did something happen in the Clan?”

Shisui spoke with a resentful tone, “Kuroto-san do you remember Uchiha Hiiragi?”

“Uchiha Hiiragi? Wasn’t he one of the challenges that the Uchiha Clan sent?” – Kuroto answered, as he recalled Uchiha Hiiragi.

And not long ago, when Kuroto disguised himself as Homusubi, it was Hiiragi who he encountered, as such Kuroto does remember, Uchiha Hiiragi.

Shisui nodded and said, “Yes him, he disappeared last night, only his sword was found in one of the clan training grounds, so everyone suspects that it is again the work of Amatsukami.”

Kuroto frowned when he heard this.

In the past, if a clan member was not seen for a night or two, then it was not that big of a deal, but now the situation is completely different.

Whether the village, the Uchiha, or other clans, they are all on very high alert under the threat of Amatsukami.

And the fact that Uchiha Hiiragi was not seen for an entire night, he did not even come for his assigned duties, as such there was only one conclusion, the shameless and bastards of Amatsukami have again acted against the Uchiha Clan, and this time they kidnapped Uchiha Hiiragi.

The reason why Kuroto frowned was another reason, it wasn’t difficult for him to relate the disappearance of Uchiha Hiiragi with Hiruko’s Kekkei Genkai Absorption Plan, but what surprised him was this change.

In the original series, Hatake Kakashi was Hiruko’s target, and Kakashi was also marked with the puppet Curse of Hiruko.

As such, Kuroto initially thought Hiruko’s target will be Kakashi, but it appears that’s no longer the case, but when Kuroto thinks about it, it does seem reasonable.

In the original series, Hiruko was not part of the Akatsuki, so he was obviously unwilling to deal with the Uchiha Clan, so Hatake Kakashi, who was a non-Uchiha, and yet had the Sharingan became his target because stealing Sharingan from Hatake Kakashi would have been much hassle-free when compared to the other Uchiha Shinobi.

But here the circumstances are different, Hiruko has joined Akatsuki, he is obviously not afraid of some Uchiha Clan, so he would obviously target a full-fledged Uchiha and try to obtain the complete Sharingan Kekkei Genkai, as such, Uchiha Hiiragi became the unlucky prey.

Or is it that the person who came to kidnap Hiiragi intentionally did not target Kakashi?

Kuroto thought, ‘Someone was able to sneak into the village and also kidnap Uchiha Hiiragi without alerting anyone? Even in the Akatsuki, only Obito should be able to accomplish such a thing.’

And if Obito was indeed the attacker, then the chances of Hiiragi’s escape were obviously zero without any question!

Regardless of all that, Kuroto can now be sure that the Kekkei Genkai that Hiruko is targeting are pretty much the same as they were in the original series, with Storm Release, Swift Release, and Sharingan confirmed, the other two Kekkei Genkai will obviously be Dark Release and Steel Release.

…

Hozuki Castle, the scene of 2^nd Gokage Summit.

“A bounty-nin organization like Amatsukami composed of missing-nin appeared in the shinobi world precisely because of the incompetence of you all, so obviously you all should be responsible for this!” – Roared Yondaime Raikage as he smashed his fist on the wooden table in front of him.

Ay’s current was past the level of tolerance, and his roars continued to be echoed the walls of this prisoner castle.

The previous attack not only caused the Yondaime Raikage to lose two of his powerful Jonin ninjas but also lose Kumogakure’s face and his own prestige as a Kage of one of the five great Shinobi Villages.

With his violent temper, it is obvious that he is very furious at Amatsukami, but unfortunately, there is no method for him to vent his anger on the bastards of Amatsukami, as such the Kages of other villages became his targets, because Amatsukami comprises of missing-nin from their villages.

Sandaime Tsuchikage Onoki snorted softly, he had a look of disdain towards the Yondaime Raikage who couldn’t even control his temper.

Onoki’s snort obviously didn’t go unnoticed by the Raikage, turning his head towards the Tsuchikage, Ay glared at him and spoke, “I have yet to completely settle accounts with Iwagakure about the assassination of Watanabe, I suspect that your Iwagakure is connected with Amatsukami, and you are secretly supporting them, otherwise, why would Amatsukami take Iwa’s issued mission and assassinate our head ninja in Konoha?”

Listening to Raikage’s accusation, everyone’s eyes turned towards the Tsuchikage.

Tsuchikage was unperturbed, “What Amatsukami? We Iwagakure have never even heard of them until now! Even if Kumogakure wants to frame us to cover up your incompetence, you have to first bring a shred of solid evidence to prove your conjecture, otherwise, your accusations are nothing but complaints. Come on Raikage, do you any evidence?”

The already furious Raikage was more furious, and blue Lightning Chakra Cloak subconsciously appeared over him, it was extremely violent and threatening.

Tsuchikage was also not afraid, he floated in the air, eyes stern, dazzling white light started to emerge in between his hands as if he was ready to start whenever the Raikage wants.

Kumogakure and Iwagakure are old enemies, Sandaime Raikage died because of Iwagakure’s betrayal, and almost ten thousand Iwa shinobi dies in the hands of Sandaime Raikage so the parties will obviously not settle such hatred so easily.

As such, it has not even been full five minutes since the Gokage Summit commenced and Tsuchikage and Raikage were already pointing blades **metaphorically** at each other’s throats.

With Raikage and Tsuchikage ready to go at it, everyone in the room got up and raised their guards.

“Cough-cough…!” – At this time, Shimura Danzo who did not speak from the beginning stood up, drew everyone’s attention towards him with a cough, and said, “Everyone, I proposed to hold the 2^nd Gokage Summit so that we can peacefully sit down and discuss how to efficiently deal with these emerging bounty-nin and mercenary organizations like Amatsukami and Akatsuki, so let’s let go of our previous hatred for a while and commence an effective…”

As Shimura Danzo was speaking, Raikage suddenly interrupted him midway, “Who do you think you are? Why has Hokage not come to the summit, and instead chose to send one of his subordinates to the Summit?”

Asked by Raikage, everyone’s attention also shifted towards Shimura Danzo, waiting for his answer.

However, Shimura Danzo was silent, as if a cat got his tongue… nothing he could say would amount to anything, why? Because he is not the Hokage!
