Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

In the office of the Hokage.

“It has been verified, someone is actually preparing a Coup d’état in Kirigakure, and this someone is Momochi Zabuza, the demon of Kirigakure,” Sandaime remarked, handing Kuroto a paper containing intelligence.

Kuroto couldn’t help but laugh internally as he heard Sandaime’s comments and read the intelligence imparted to him.

Konoha has already confirmed the forthcoming coup d’état in Kirigakure and the mastermind behind it; in such a situation, if the coup were to succeed, it would be remarkable and nothing short of a miracle.

‘Momochi Zabuza has obtained the Great Sword Samehada?’ Kuroto grimaced as he continued to study the contents. ‘This is a bit of a shock! But I suppose it isn’t; Kubikiribocho is in the hands of Biwa Juzo, who is still alive, and Suikazan Fuguki is dead, so Zabuza may have gotten his hands on Samehada in some way. But what about Hoshigaki Kisame if Momochi Zabuza has Samehada?’

“The preparation time granted to Team-Ro is already complete, any additional time cannot be given, thus Team-Ro must race to the Land of Water,” Sandaime explained as Kuroto pondered a few things. I’d like to learn more about Kirigakure’s circumstances, as well as the current Mizukage’s position. Take advantage of the Coup d’état and assassinate the Yondaime Mizukage Karatachi Yagura if it is determined that anything is amiss with him, as the rumours imply, and if he is the one cooperating with Akatsuki.”

“Understood Hokage-sama, it must be done,” Kuroto said with a nod.

“Team-Ro will be acting alone, and given that Kirigakure is in some sort of alliance with Akatsuki, an encounter with members of Akatsuki or Amatsukami is possible,” Sandaime said after a moment’s thought. “Should it become necessary, you can contact Morino Ibiki and the team under him, and act accordingly as per the situation.” – and then he passed another scroll with Morino Ibiki’s contact information on it.

Kuroto accepted the scroll with a nod.

“All right, now that everything is figured up, set off,” Sandaime remarked.

Kuroto walked out of the Hokage Office with a nod.

…

‘I wonder what move Amatsukami should make in this,’ Kuroto mused on his walk to the Training Field-R3. Should I, like Pakura, utilize Momochi Zabuza as a puppet Kage? Or should I hire Terumi Mei for this job? ‘Or is there a third possibility?’

Kirigakure is likewise a good country to take control over, therefore Kuroto’s feelings towards the country are similar to Madara’s and Obito’s.

The Land of Water is the smallest of the five major nations, consisting of several islands with varying habitats and customs. Because of its isolated location from the rest of the continent, this country tends to stay out of most political matters. Furthermore, the Land of Water is bordered on all sides by the sea, which has engulfed the land in a dense blanket of mist. The Land of Water’s natural atmosphere also benefits Kirigakure shinobi in the usage of Suiton-based Jutsu as well as specific Kirigakure assassination Jutsu… As a result, taking on the Kiri shinobi at home is a challenging task.

The duel between Momochi Zabuza and Hatake Kakashi in the Land of Waves Arc exemplifies this. Kakashi was an elite Jonin Class Shinobi with the alias Copy Ninja Kakashi at the time in the Naruto narrative, and few people could match his strength. However, when he faced Zabuza of the Misty environment, Kakashi fell into a pensive state and nearly perished.

Because of their increased combat effectiveness owing to home advantage, Kiri shinobis who have learned Suiton extensively and specialize in Silent Killing are especially tough to deal with in the misty environment.

Kuroto, in fact, understands this better than others; after all, when battling near a water source, his Suijin Clone becomes considerably more effective and powerful.

As a result, Kuroto intends to make the next Mizukage a puppet who will be loyal to Amatsukami, as this will provide him with numerous benefits.

‘That said, this task may need numerous large fights, and since I am currently unable to employ the full strength of my own body due to a variety of factors, it would be preferable to use Tsukihi clone.

the Tsukihi Clone is only second to the original body in terms of strength, and the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan will offer me an unrivaled advantage in fight against the Mizukage, who is a Jinchuriki.

Fighting is also the best way to enhance soul-body adaptation, so that’s one thing, plus I’d like to put Enton: Oshihomimi to the test against Suiton.’ – As he approached the gathering area, Kuroto gave a final nod.

…

“You’re late, captain!” Akame exclaimed. — and he was, of course, late. The reason for this is that Sandaime summoned him immediately before the departure.

“Don’t worry, I’m not that late,” Watatsumi replied nonchalantly, “it’s just fifteen minutes past the set hour, Sandaime-sama summoned me for some last-minute briefing.”

“Oh? Alright.” – Akame acknowledged with a nod.

“Have you all been thoroughly prepared for this mission?” – Watatsumi enquired of his four teammates.

“Yes!” exclaimed the four in unison.

“All right, now that the dust has settled, the team-Ro will embark on its first assignment.” – Watatsumi expressed his thoughts.

“Yes, Captain!” said the squad. – Watatsumi’s lead was followed by Akame, Rabbit, Hana, and Weasel, who all nodded.

The Team-Ro then took a hidden passage out of the village and set off in the direction of the Land of Water…

The Team-Ro then took a hidden passage out of the village and set off in the direction of the Land of Water…

…

In a gloomy environment where there is little or no light.

“Where am I?” – someone muttered in confusion.

“What place is this?”

“How did I get here?”

“I wonder how long has it been since I have been here? I can’t remember…”

“Where was I before I got here?”

“I can’t remember anything, and just who exactly am I?”

“Perhaps I should try to find a way to get out of here and maybe then I will get answers to my questions…”

“But… how should I get out of here? This place doesn’t seem to give me any sense of space or direction… everywhere I look there is only pitch-black darkness… I, can not even feel any sense of balance… what is up? What is down? What is left? What is right? What is forward and what is backward? Do these concepts even exist here?”

“Neither is there any sense of time… it feels as if I have been here for eons, at the same time, it also feels that I was here just an instant ago…”

“Yawn… I am feeling tired and sleepy… I should probably sleep… maybe I will remember something after I wake up.”

The person fell asleep with these thoughts in mind… and didn’t notice the change…

The pitch-black blackness transformed into pitch-purple/violet darkness when the person fell asleep, with a few traces of light and quiet echoes traveling through, similar to what one would hear inside a deep-sea…

Perhaps if this person hadn’t fallen asleep too early, she might have noticed the changes around her, as well as the two pairs of golden eyes that appeared, or perhaps she wouldn’t have noticed at all.

After all, these alterations might not have happened if she hadn’t fallen asleep, and the two pairs of golden eyes might not have appeared if this person hadn’t fallen asleep.

“It won’t be long Toyotama-hime-sama…” the two pairs of eyes close, and just a light murmur can be heard, “It won’t be long Toyotama-hime-sama…”
