Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

With a thoughtful expression, Kuroto muttered, “Next, which Clone should I choose?”

At present, Kuroto has four clones left to create, these four include, Earth Nature Clone, Wind Nature Clone, Lightning Nature Clone, and Yang Nature Clone.

Because of a lack of confidence in being able to create the Yang Nature Clone due to immature Cloning Technology, Kuroto has postponed the creation of Yang Clone for the time being.

Therefore, the choices in front of Kuroto are only limited to Earth Nature Clone, Wind Nature Clone, and Lightning Nature Clone.

Compared to the other two Chakra Natures, Earth Chakra Nature is most stable, so the difficulty of creating Earth Clone should be less when compared to the Wind Nature Clone and Lightning Nature Clone, and it is also a good choice when it comes to the matter of Kekkei Genkai of Earth Chakra Nature.

In Kuroto’s impression, the Kekkei Genkai related to Earth Release is Wood Release, Mud Release, Crystal Release, Lava Release, Explosion Release, Steel Release, and Magnet Release, and there is also the Kekkei Tota Dust Release.

Although Wood Release is without a doubt the strongest of all the aforementioned Kekkei Genkai, it is also influenced by the Yang Chakra, the stronger the Yang Chakra of the user, the stronger the effect of the Wood Style Jutsu, so in a way, Wood Release can be regarded as semi Kekkei Tota of the Yang Nature because of the influence of Yang Chakra on this Kekkei Genkai.

The others too are good and simple Kekkei Genkai, although each has its own advantages, the shortcomings are also quite clear.

However, the Kekkei Tota, Dust Release related to the Earth Chakra Nature makes him somewhat interested and can be regarded as the goal for the Earth Nature Clone.

But the problem is that in the current shinobi world, only Sandaime Tsuchikage Onoki has mastered Dust Release, and obtaining his cells as well as information on Dust Release would be an extremely difficult task.

It is necessary to know that even in the Fourth Great Shinobi War that happened 10 years later in the Canon, the old and frail Onoki was still a force to be reckoned with, so it is conceivable how strong he would be currently when he has just started to go downhill.

So even after thinking for a while, Kuroto couldn’t make up his mind, and because of being really exhausted, he failed to reach a conclusion as he went to sleep unknowingly.

…

One week later.

Today the Konoha Village is decorated all over, and there is a bit of a celebratory spirit in the village. The reason for such an occasion is the Grand Alliance Ceremony that the Village is hosting to officially finalize the Alliance with the nations surrounding the Land of Fire.

Kuroto’s Team Ro except for Itachi was also participating in the Alliance Ceremony, they were responsible for taking care of the defenses in the ceremony, of course, they were not in their Anbu disguises, but rather in general shinobi vests.

So, currently, Kuroto was dressed in his newly obtained Jonin Vest, while the three of his subordinates were also in their Konoha Shinobi Vests; watching the incoming people.

Standing on the roof of a house, with one hand on her waist; Kurenai muttered with a frowned expression, “Is it really safe to allow so many foreigners to enter the village all at once?”

Hayate coughed a little, then replied, “The purpose of holding this Alliance Ceremony is to deter the Akatsuki Organization and Amatsukami, of course, the bigger the ceremony the better, therefore, the participation of so many people is unavoidable.”

Yugao nodded with Hayate, “Yes, as long as this alliance ceremony is successfully completed, we will have allies in the northwest and southwest of the Land of Fire, so there would be no need to deploy so many shinobi to watch out for possible attacks from those specific directions, as such, more shinobi can be deployed into other tasks, such as locating the Akatsuki Base.”

Kurenai shook her head and said, “That’s not what I meant, what I mean is; what if there are spies present in this crowd? Any one of them could be a spy and we won’t know for sure… not to mention there is no guarantee that these villages don’t hold ill will towards Konoha, there is also a possibility that Akatsuki will take advantage of this ceremony to launch an attack on the village, what do you think Kuroto-san, your opinion; as the person-in-charge of the security?”

Kuroto nodded to Kurenai’s words, “It’s possible and something that is very likely to be true, but as Hokage sama stated, we don’t have very many options, as such, instead of talking and discussing; focus on the crowd and keep an eye for any sort of unusuality; should you find anything unusual immediately report it to Inoichi-san and let Shikaku-san and other shinobi handle them discretely.”

Kurenai, Hayate, and Yugao nodded and kept a watch on the crowd.

And Kuroto too focused his attention on the crowd, quietly observing the comers.

This time, there are five villages involved in the Alliance Ceremony, Konoha is one of the five, and in addition to Konoha, there are Sunagakure, Kusagakure, Takigakure, and the newly formed Otogakure. Sandaime also wanted to let Yugakure participate but that village has regressed into a hot spring town from that of a shinobi village. Amegakure no longer exists officially because the Daimyo of the Land of Rain has disbanded the village. As for the other shinobi villages? They have their own internal matters to deal with as such, they didn’t have enough time to participate in such a fruitless Alliance Ceremony, at least those are some official statements issued by various shinobi villages.

Kuroto wasn’t much surprised about this alliance thing.

Even in the canon, during Chunin Exam Arc, several shinobi villages participated in the Chunin Exams; and all of them were ‘allied’ to Konoha, even if that alliance was forced upon them.

So anyway, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that even if the threat of Akatsuki and Amatsukami did not exist, Sandaime would have still made some efforts to win the alliance of several shinobi villages in the countries around the Land of Fire.

After all, the lesson of the Third Great Shinobi War is too profound to be forgotten, Konoha was besieged from all four sides, and had it not been for the Yondaime Hokage to single-handedly turn the tides of the war at all the four battlefronts, there is no telling where would Konoha be now.

So, the Alliance Ceremony is not just a measure against Akatsuki, but also a measure against other great Shinobi Villages.

Although, how serious these villages are going to be when it comes to the matter of alliance; is not that hard to figure out, Kuroto is not really interested in it as they would make no difference in the end anyway.

While Kuroto was pondering over these things, suddenly his expression changed, this is because he caught the sight of a few familiar figures in the crowd.

The leader of the representatives from Otogakure is a young man in his twenties; with long brown hair tied in a ponytail and a gentle smile plastered on his face. The facial features of this young man exude a calm and wise demeanor, most of all, he seems to be a patient man of gentle nature.

‘But those eyes… he is most definitely Orochimaru-sama.’ thought Kuroto.

Orochimaru may be able to fool anyone with that disguise of his, but not Kuroto because Kuroto can literally recognize him at a glance.

‘He came here in person for the Alliance Ceremony? Does he intend to cause trouble?’ thought Kuroto, then he focused his gaze on the three shinobi following Orochimaru, ‘That’s undoubtedly Yamato; then Kimimaro, and finally Haku.’

The three shinobi following Orochimaru were all recognized by Kuroto, and this also made him feel surprised because Kuroto didn’t expect Orochimaru to be courageous enough to bring Yamato to the village, ‘Does he really intend to cause trouble? After all, why else would he bring Yamato of all people to Konoha if that’s not the case?’

“I think I will have to have a conversation with him.” Muttered Kuroto, because he is in no mood to deal with Orochimaru when the threat of Akatsuki is constantly lingering in his head.

After making up his mind, Kuroto’s gaze eased up and he moved his gaze to Kimimaro at the end of the line, looking at Kimimaro, a thought flashed in his mind.

Since Kuroto made the Yondaime Mizukage, Yagura a subordinate of his, he has read a lot of documents hidden in the archives of Kirigakure. A lot of them even involved Shikotsumyaku/Dead Bone Pulse, the Kekkei Genkai of the Kaguya Clan.

The documents seized from the Kaguya Clan before their annihilation even record a millennium-year-long history of the Kaguya Clan, and it has been explicitly stated multiple times that Kaguya Clan has existed since the founding of Ninjutsu and Ninja Sect, or maybe even before that when Ninshu was prevalent.

According to Kuroto’s own impression from Canon, Otsutsuki Kaguya has a Kekkei Mora Technique called: All-Killing Ash Bones. It is a certain kill technique where she uses her bone structure.

And it wouldn’t be wrong to assume that Dead Bone Pulse, that is the Kekkei Genkai of the Kaguya Clan, is derived from Otsutsuki Kaguya’s ability to manipulate and weaponize her own bone structure, coupled with the name of the clan, that is the Kaguya Clan; it is very likely that the Kaguya Clan is closely linked to Otsutsuki Kaguya.

Otsutsuki Kaguya had two biological children, the descendants of the elder of the two; Otsutsuki Hagoromo’s are fairly known, which include the Senju Clan, the Uzumaki Clan, and the Uchiha Clan, there is also some inexplicable linkage to Kinkaku and Ginkaku but there is no clear evidence in Kuroto’s hand at the moment.

But even If we take just the Senju, Uzumaki, and Uchiha Clan, then the Senju and Uzumaki inherited Rikudo Sennin’s body of sage, while the Uchiha Clan inherited the eyes of the Sage.

Therefore, if Kaguya Clan is also a descendant of Otsutsuki Kaguya, then it is very likely that they are the descendant of the younger brother of the two, that is the descendant of Otsutsuki Hamura similar to that of the Otsutsuki Clan of the moon, and Hyuga Clan.

On a bolder hypothesis, if Hyuga Clan and the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon inherited the eyes of Hamura, then Kaguya Clan most definitely inherited the body of Hamura.
