While rubbing his chin, Kuroto muttered with a thoughtful expression, “I suppose I should not count Uchiha Fugaku as an option, it’s because obtaining his cells would be very troublesome, so it’s best that I don’t take him as an option!
And the next is Sasuke, aside from Madara, Sasuke is technically the best option, but I am not sure if I should use his cells and DNA for the clone, after all, he is the current reincarnation of Otsutsuki Indra, therefore, it is hard to judge how will Rikudo Sennin respond if I create a clone with the chakra of the current reincarnation of Indra.
It is obviously hard to infer Rikudo Sennin’s thinking in regards to his two sons, whether he is keeping a watch over Sasuke and Naruto and what are his plans for them is not something Kuroto can understand, after all, Rikudo Sennin has existed for centuries already, even if he is in his soul form after death, Rikudo Sennin is undoubtedly the current strongest being on the planet, therefore, I think that it is the best choice to not do anything that might offend him or leave a negative opinion towards me!”
What’s more, Sasuke’s Yin Chakra is probably the strongest so that would probably unbalance the intensity of seven chakra natures at the time of fusion through Chimera Technique, as such its best to avoid using his cells for creating the clone.
After excluding Fugaku and Sasuke, the remaining choices that he is left with are Hideki, Ryota, Shinichi, Shisui, and Itachi.
Among these five Shisui and Itachi are obviously the most talented, and it is very difficult for even Kuroto to judge whose talent is higher among the two of them.
If the age at which they awakened Mangekyou Sharingan is taken into account then that obviously Shisui seems to be more talented, but then we have to also consider that Shisui was born before Itachi and experienced more stimulations during the third great shinobi war so he was able to awaken Mangekyou Sharingan at a younger age compared to Itachi.
Other than the age of activating Mangekyou Sharingan, both of them are impeccable in all other shinobi arts so it wouldn’t be wrong to say that both of them are equally talented, so both of them seem to be the best options.
Thinking up to here, Kuroto suddenly remembered, “But Itachi’s illness…?”
The illness Itachi suffered from was a bit mysterious, there were many speculations and theories about it, some stated that Itachi suffered from some sort of lung disease while others pointed to the illness being the result of the overburden because of being too strong for his own good.
It could be possible that Itachi suffered from his Mangekyou power being too strong and his body was unable to bear the burden it caused as a result he lacked the necessary stamina to partake in drawn-out battles.
The illness could also be the result of his desire to die because of guilt, after all, depression, despair, and desire to seek death can stem from various causes that would ultimately kill you, its similar to how the Solomon Islands Cursing works.
Then again, his illness could also be a result of a Bloodline illness.
So it is very difficult for Kuroto to judge what kind of illness Itachi suffered from, but one thing that is very clear is the fact that this illness took away Itachi’s life.
So without having a proper understanding of the true cause it is best not to use Itachi’s cells, after all, if Itachi is suffering from Bloodline disease then his cells are obviously not suitable for making the Fire Chakra Clone.
Therefore, Shisui’s cells seem to be a better option of the two.
Although both Itachi and Sasuke are also very good choices, there are still some hidden dangers in choosing them, but no such danger is associated with Shisui, so it is obviously better for Kuroto to not take unnecessary risks.
And Shisui’s talent is unquestionably superior to Hideki and Ryota so there is no need for consideration.
“Finally, there is also an option of choosing Shinichi but I guess I will start with Shisui. If my and Shisui’s cells do not have compatibility then I guess I will try using Shinichi’s or Itachi’s cells, till then using Shisui’s cells is fine.” – with that decided, Kuroto packed up everything and left the secret laboratory.
…
One week later.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn this one week, the various units’ part of the hunting operation carries out some intensive search to locate Homusubi and the other member of Amatsukami but since there was no result so the troops returned back to the village.
The shinobi who participated in the encirclement operation brought back all sorts of news with them and aside from the classified news that was not to be released in public, most of this news was now the talk of the village.
Konoha’s repeated failure to capture or kill Amatsukami only flared up Amatsukami’s reputation and people even started to wonder whether Amatsukami was truly an organization with Gods part of it as its name suggests.
Of course, such devoted religious people were very few and were mostly ignored by others.
Although the intelligence about Amatsukami’s next target being the nine Bijuu was not made public, the threat that Amatsukami poses to Konoha and the other four great shinobi villages was now more than ever clear to the high level of all the villages.
Aside from all this, what was important was that rumors about Shisui being Homusubi were completely cleared up as Shisui’s and Homusubi’s fight was now public knowledge, with suspicions on him cleared, Shisui was no longer subjected to house arrest and was now again free.
After regaining his freedom, the first thing that Shisui did was obvious, he hurriedly rushed towards Kuroto’s home as he was in desperate need of so many answers, and only Kuroto had those answers that he needed.
Arriving at Kuroto’s home, he knocked on the door.
Knock… Knock… Knock…
A few seconds later the door was opened, “Oh, it turns out to be Shisui-Kun, please come in!”
Shisui is both a member of the same Anbu squad as Kuroto and also a regular visitor to Kuroto’s home, therefore Yui is very familiar with Shisui and welcomed him inside very enthusiastically. Sometimes when she sees Kuroto and Shisui working together or discussing some things, she even feels that both of them are like siblings.
Shisui nodded politely, “Thank you Yui-san!” and followed her to Kuroto’s study.
Kuroto who was busy doing some work was not surprised by Shisui’s arrival and nodded for him to take a seat.
Yui also sat on the other side of the Kotatsu, and seeing that Kuroto was still busy she decided to ask Shisui a few things that she was somewhat curious about, “So, Shisui-Kun, I heard that you fought against Homusubi of Amatsukami again, is he… is he really that powerful, you know as powerful as the rumors describe him to be?”
Shisui was a little embarrassed by Yui’s question and glanced towards the so-called ‘Homusubi’ sitting on the side, seeing that ‘the Homusubi’ that he fought against a few days ago had no intentions of speaking anything, Shisui scratched his hair awkwardly and nodded, “Uh… he… he is really strong, he was… even able to hold his own against Kumogakure’s A-B Combo, which in itself dictates just how strong Homusubi is.”
Hearing the word Kumo A-B Combo, Yui was a bit worried and turned towards Kuroto she wanted to speak something but it was better to not be spoken in Shisui’s presence.
Kuroto seemed to have noticed Yui’s worry, so he put down the scroll in his hand and said, “Don’t mind Shisui’s presence, you can speak freely there is no need to be worried.”
Yui looked at Kuroto then turned towards Shisui and then again towards Kuroto, and spoke “Will you really be alright Kuroto-Kun? All the members of Amatsukami seem to be extremely strong one can fight against Yondaime Raikage and Jinchuriki of Hachibi at the same time while the other can fight against Sandaime-sama and still manage to escape, Amatsukami is too dangerous, even Shisui-Kun says so! Right… Shisui-Kun? See! He is agreeing, should we… should we mention this matter to Hiashi-sama… so that… he can… you know… make arrangements with Sandaime-sama?” – as the last words came, Yui’s voice kept going light and light, if not for the fact that both Kuroto and Shisui being extremely perceptive they might not have been able to hear the last part.
And hearing Yui’s words, Kuroto snorted in contempt towards Amatsukami, “Huh, what dangerous? Just some small-time mercenary organization, they even have the gall to name themselves ‘Amatsukami’? All they do is hide and don’t even dare to come forward! From beginning to end, all they do is run away, in fact, I am telling you whether it was against Sandaime-sama or A-B Combo, both the time what Amatsukami did was run away. The last time I and Shisui encountered them, we were unprepared and were ambushed by three of them at once, if not for that we would have obviously defeated them! When I meet them next time… you will see the result.”
As soon as she heard Kuroto’s words, Yui complained, “You always do this Kuroto-Kun and I hate this…” – speaking up to here, she turned towards Shisui and requested sincerely, “Shisui-Kun, I want to ask you something, will you please consider it?”
Shisui who was suddenly brought to attention hurriedly nodded, “Yui-san… just speak what is your request… If… if I can do it, or it is within my power to be able to do it I will definitely do my best to help out!”
Yui glanced towards Kuroto with the corner of her eye then turned back towards Shisui and spoke, “Kuroto-Kun always does this, in order for me to not worry he always lighten up the threat posed by anyone when speaking about anything… he would look down on all the enemies and all when describing them to me, in fact, he even omits out most of the details where his life was in danger, although I understand why he does this, it still does not relieve me…
Moreover, I don’t even understand where Kuroto-Kun’s confidence comes from? To be able to look down on people such as Homusubi and Suijin… sigh… even Hizashi-sama said that Amatsukami is very dangerous and here he is treating them as NOTHING!
I can’t speak about this to Kakashi-Kun because of his… well I can’t speak about this to Kakashi-Kun due to certain reasons, and Guy-Kun is just too weird and I am not too sure how to talk to him about this… so you are the only person I can ask of.
Everyone knows that after awakening Mangekyou Sharingan, you are no longer a normal shinobi, your strength obviously surpasses all four of your squad, so will you please do me this favor and look after Kuroto-Kun and make sure that he doesn’t get careless and… when performing missions?”
“But… Kuroto-San… he… I…” – Shisui opened his mouth to speak but he didn’t know what to say anymore.
Protect him?
Protect him what?
Amatsukami?
What a joke!
He is the leader of Amatsukami! And he is sitting right here!
Aside from Amatsukami, even if a threat of such a level that could endanger Kuroto really existed, and if Kuroto-San couldn’t deal with it with his strength, then Shisui can be sure that there are very fewer chances that he would be able to deal with it.
Seeing that Shisui seemed to have some reservations, Yui said with a worried tone, “Shisui-Kun, is my request really so troublesome?”
Hearing Yui’s request Shisui was more embarrassed and turned looked at Kuroto as if asking ‘what should I do?’.
Kuroto also didn’t know what to say and could only give him a look that said, ‘Don’t ask me.’
Shisui’s look changed from ‘What should I do?’ to ‘Then who should I ask if not from you?’
“You don’t need to ask Kuroto-Kun’s opinion on this, this is a request I am making and Kuroto-Kun would obviously not deny my request, right Kuroto-Kun?” – Yui asked Kuroto with a very sweet look that sent chills down Kuroto’s spine, he knew that if he said anything other than a nod… he wouldn’t be getting any food for the next whole month!
Kuroto hurriedly nodded. Never anger or offend your woman… the consequences would be too terrible, and Kuroto has no desire to face those consequences.
With Kuroto’s nod, Yui again turned towards Shisui and spoke, “You see? Kuroto-Kun doesn’t have any problem with it, now will you consider my request?”
Shisui sighed helplessly and nodded, “A… Alright… you don’t need to worry Yui-san… I will take good care of Kuroto-San!”
Finally, Kuroto said to Yui with a smile, “Okay… no matter how strong Amatsukami may be, it won’t be stronger than Konoha. You don’t need to worry about these issues, for now, what you need to focus on is your training Yui, I hope you remember my words and understand what I said back then. That aside, I have some important matters to discuss with Shisui so you can leave us be and finish the things that you have to do.”
Yui nodded, “Well, I understand… I have some matters to take care of, I will leave you both to your devices, by the way, Shisui-san would you like to have dinner with us today?”
“Uh, no I wouldn’t want to intrude!” – Shisui said.
“It’s not troublesome at all, after all, I will obviously be cooking dinner for both Kuroto-Kun and myself so adding for you would require the same amount of work therefore there is no trouble. Besides, there are very few opportunities when Kuroto-Kun stays at home because of all the missions and all, and we would really love it if you would have dinner with us, right Kuroto-Kun?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKuroto nodded, “Hmm, right. Have dinner with us.” – This is actually a good thing, Shisui is also an orphan just like Kuroto, so he obviously stays alone, therefore, it would be better for Shisui if he gets to experience some familial environment.
Seeing that both Kuroto and Yui insisted, Shisui finally relented and nodded, “Alright, I will be troubling you then!”
“In that case, I will be going shopping, I have to make sure that something good is cooked tonight that Shisui-San will love!” – Yui said with a cheerful look.
“Please don’t push yourself too hard Yui-san!” – Shisui said.
“Don’t worry!” – Yui said to Shisui, nodded towards Kuroto, she got up left the room, a few minutes later she came back with a tray carrying two tea-cups, hot water, tea powder, matcha tea leaves, and some rice crackers for snacks.
Without interrupting the light discussion that Kuroto and Shisui were having, she brewed the tea for two, placed the cup before them, placed the rice crackers, and then left.
As soon as Yui left, Shisui couldn’t hold himself anymore and hurriedly asked, “Kuroto-san, what was up with that Mangekyou Sharingan pair that you had in your eye sockets at that time?”
Kuroto didn’t directly answer the question, but took out a storage scroll, printed the required hand seals, and tapped on it with his right hand.
Poof… Poof…
With a soft sound white smoke appeared over the scroll.
As soon as the shite smoke cleared away, two small glass capsules appeared before the two.
Looking through the glass cover of the capsule, Shisui noticed some light green solution that filled the capsule and two spherical objects floating within the light green solution in each capsule.
As soon as he saw the two objects floating inside the nutrition capsule, Shisui’s eyes narrowed, because those two objects make up a pair of eyes and not just any pair of eyes, they are Sharingan!
But Shisui was doubtful about something, “These are Sharingan?”
Kuroto nodded casually, “Right, these two pairs of Sharingan belonged to Uchiha Hideki and Uchiha Ryota.”
Although Shisui expected this result when his doubt was confirmed Shisui had a complicated and saddened look, he understands that Hideki’s and Ryota’s death was inevitable but seeing their eyes floating in the capsule, Shisui only feels guilty that he didn’t choose any other method.
Kuroto saw that although a little saddened, Shisui was still calm so he decided to drop the bigger bombs, “Both of these pairs of Sharingan are Mangekyou Sharingan.”
And boy did it work.
“What!?” – Shisui suddenly exclaimed and stood up at his position when he heard Kuroto’s words, looking at him with an incredible expression, seeing that Kuroto-San doesn’t seem to be joking he looked at the two pairs of Sharingan that are actually Mangekyou Sharingan pair with inexplicable expression, “How is this even possible?”
Kuroto didn’t answer this question as Shisui should already know how a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan is born, instead, he pointed at one of the capsules and said, “This pair of Mangekyou Sharingan belongs to Uchiha Ryota, and it is this pair that I was using when I enacted as Homusubi.”
Shisui looked at the two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan then turned towards Kuroto and asked seriously, “Kuroto-san, what did Ryota and Hideki go through so that both of them awakened Mangekyou Sharingan!?”
