Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

“Why is that?” – asked Kuroto.

Miko-sama thought a little and then said, “Although I am not exactly sure, it is probably related to the high amount of Natural Energy that Ryuumyaku contains.”

Kuroto frowned, “Because of Natural Energy?”

Miko-sama nodded, “I am not certain, but that’s the most logical explanation. Ryuumyaku contains a very high portion of Natural Energy, and since you are something like a Jinchuriki of the Ryuumyaku, so your state is very close to Nature, and the predictions, prophecies, and future telling targets individuals, not nature as a whole. As far as I think, predicting the course of Nature is not possible, so as long as you have Ryuumyaku predicting your future should be impossible.”

“So, according to you, Ryuumyaku makes me immune to all the prophecies, predictions, and future telling?” – Kuroto muttered.

Miko-sama nodded and added, “But that’s just a hypothesis of mine, I have no conclusive evidence to be sure whether this hypothesis is correct or not.”

Then Kuroto asked in confusion, “Okay I understand that, but then how were you so sure that I would come regardless of your warnings?”

Miko-smiled, “I did not send my daughter to be under your protection just for nothing. There is something we call ‘trust,’ and ‘understanding’, and as cliché, as it may sound, you can say that I had faith, faith that you would definitely come!”

Kuroto was embarrassed and said, “When I learned that Yomi was not dead and launched a rebellion in the Land of Demons, I couldn’t rest easy, regardless of your warnings.”

The Kuroto explained how he killed Yomi, beheaded Yomi the last time.

Miko-sama had a thoughtful look after listening to Kuroto’s words and explained, “Even if Yomi is not strong as a shinobi, he was blessed with many forbidden and dark techniques by Moryo, so perhaps whatever technique he used to survive even after being beheaded must be through one of those techniques.”

Kuroto said, “Maybe that’s the case, but regardless of everything, I will kill him this time without any error.”

Miko-sama sighed, “He is present in the temple, and I would suggest you be very careful of him, I know you are strong but still be careful. His state is completely different from what it used t be before.”

Kuroto frowned, “Completely different?”

Miko-sama nodded, “I am not exactly sure how so just be careful. Anyway, my spirit form won’t last very long, there are a few favors I want to ask of you Kuroto-Kun, I hope you can promise to fulfill them.”

Kuroto spoke, “Favors? Please tell me, if I can then I will try to what I can.”

Miko-sama asked, “Have you brought that scroll that I sent to you?”

Kuroto nodded and took out that scroll, “Here it is.”

Miko-sama looked at the scroll in Kuroto’s hand and said, “Follow me.”

Kuroto followed and arrived near a bookshelf that was half-filled and half empty.

Miko-sama said, “Place that scroll on the 3^rd empty shelf of the 5^th row.”

Kuroto nodded and placed the scroll at the position where Miko-sama said.

Based on the development of things now something must happen, Kuroto was waiting in anticipation but nothing happened.

Kuroto was confused and looked at Miko-sama with a frown.

Miko-sama seems to have noticed Kuroto’s confusion and said, “That was just the first step, now I will tell you the order in which you have to arrange all the books and scrolls, and you will follow.”

Kuroto raised an eyebrow in a frown but seeing that Miko-sama was serious, he nodded nonetheless.

And the rearrangement process of the shelf started, 4^th scroll on the 7^th shelf of the 1^st row to the 6^th empty shelf of the 2^nd row, 9^th book on the 4^th shelf of the 5^th row, to 11^th shelf of the 8^th row, and so on… after all the rearrangement was carried the bookshelf a ‘cluck’ sound was heard.

At this time Miko-sama said, “Open that cabinet.”

Kuroto nodded and opened the cabinet, what came out of it was not some secret tressure nor some kind of secret scroll, in fact, it contained nothing, but Kuroto’s gaze was still on the cabinet as it a pattern was drawn on the cabinet with the insignia of Miko carved at the center of the pattern.

While Kuroto was studying the pattern, Miko-sama was silent, she believed that she didn’t need to explain to Kuroto what that pattern is.

After understanding the pattern, Kuroto turned towards Miko-sama and asked, “Few drops of your blood, as well as the name of the first Miko, will be two components required to complete the seal.”

Miko-sama nodded and said, “Pick out the 19^th scroll from the last shelf of the bottom-most row.”

Kuroto did as she said, unfolded the scroll.

The scroll had a lot of text written on it, but what surprised Kuroto was that the text was of red color along with a light fragrance of iron coming off from the pages.

“This scroll is written from my own blood, now I will show you a specific sealing pattern, you have to perform that specific pattern on top of the page.” – said Miko-sama and performed the sealing pattern.

Kuroto looked at the pattern and after she was done, Kuroto printed the same sealing pattern on the page.

As the sealing pattern was completed, all the red ink printed on the scroll came to life and started collecting at the center point. From the center point which soaked that part.

But soon enough the red ink seemed to be defying gravity and started rising up, and soon enough a small drop of red blood was floating in the mid-air. It was constantly changing shape, like an aether.

“Now place your fingertip below that drop of blood and use it to complete the seal.” – said Miko-sama.

Kuroto did as instructed, and put the drop of blood on the top of Miko’s insignia printed at the center of the pattern.

“Next is the name of the first Miko.” – spoke Kuroto.

“Her name is ‘O-Inari’!” – Miko-sama said.

Kuroto was shocked, but calming himself, he drew O-Inari’s symbol to complete the seal.

As the seal was completed, the crystal chandelier hanging on the roof dropped a scroll.

Seeing the falling scroll, Kuroto used Rein Wheel Attraction to draw it towards.

As Kuroto caught the scroll, he looked at Miko-sama for further explanation.

Miko-sama said, “Open it.”

Kuroto nodded and unfolded the scroll, and inside he was able to see several things stored inside, so this was a storage scroll.

Kuroto did not have to wait for the explanation, as Miko-sama said, “This scroll stores some items that I want you to pass on to Shion at the right time.”

Kuroto nodded, “Okay, I think I can do that.”

Miko-sama pointed at one of the symbols and said, “First is the Crown of Miko, Shion will be required to have it when she inherits the position of the next Miko, this crown will also help her better control her powers, you have to pass it on to her when she reaches adulthood.”

Kuroto nodded, “Alright.”

After that Miko-sama again said, “Second is the Mystic Bell, please pass it on to Shion as soon as you return to Konoha, and make sure to instruct her to always carry this bell with her.”

Although Kuroto did not know much about this ‘Crown of Miko,’ Kuroto did have some impression of this ‘Mystic Bell.’

Kuroto vaguely remembers that Shion was able to perform various techniques using the bell she carried with her.

Curious about the ‘Mystic Bell’ Kuroto asked, “If I am not wrong, this is a sealing artifact, why does Shion need to carry this with her, would it not limit her Miko powers?”

Miko-sama nodded, “Yes, the ‘Mystic Bell’ will seal her Miko power, but that’s necessary, after my analysis, I have come to understand that Shion is most definitely a child with the most potential, her powers are too strong for her own good. Her powers are more of a curse than a blessing until she is ready to wield them, so in order to not inadvertently hurt others or cause a disaster for others, it is better to seal them until she is ready.”

Kuroto was highly surprised but he decided not to ask too much for now.

At this time Miko-sama said, “Third items are the scroll of Miko’s Fuinjutsu, there are five scrolls, pass them to her in the order of their numbering as per her progress, I have helped her build up the necessary foundation to master Miko’s Fuinjutsu so it should be fine to give her the first scroll immediately.”

“And the last items are these vials of elixir, there are five vials stored inside, I have already given one vial to Shion a few months back, give one of those vials to her when she is 10 years old, and the second at the age of 14. As for the last two vials, you can use them as you see fit, I give them to you as a gift.” – said Miko sama.

Kuroto nodded and then asked, “What is the role of these vials of elixir?”

Miko-sama explained, “This Elixir has been passed down in the Miko’s lineage, and it is necessary to help us activate and enhance our bloodline sealing abilities, it also helps us develop an understanding of Nature as well as allows us to gain a passive control over the Natural Energy.”

Kuroto was stunned, and exclaimed, “Does that means that as long as someone takes this elixir, he can master how to use Senjutsu Chakra?”

Understanding Nature, controlling Natural energy, learning to use Senjutsu Chakra are all necessary steps to master Sennin Mode. And once someone masters Sennin Mode, he can directly step into the realm of a Super Kage.

Even in the original series, Uzumaki Naruto who had just learned Sennin Mode was able to combat Rikudo Pain.

Miko-sama laughed, “For the descendant of Miko lineage it is indeed possible, but for other people…”

“What about for other people?” – Kuroto asked eagerly.

Miko-sama said, “For others, the effects will mostly be limited, at most it will help them improve their perception of Natural Energy, as for whether those individuals can control natural Energy is another matter altogether, and Elixir will not play any role in that, but it will have a passive strengthening effect and maybe improve their talent towards Nature to some degree. But that’s just it.”

After hearing Miko-sama’s explanation, Kuroto sighed, “Is that all? Sigh, it seems there are no shortcuts to master Sennin Mode…” – muttered Kuroto while folding back the scroll and putting it inside his Shinobi bag.

Miko-sama said with an apologetic tone, “I know that a ninja of your level doesn’t care about monetary things, so I did not bother to prepare those, I hope you don’t mind.”

As soon as he heard Miko-sama say this Kuroto opened his mouth like a fish but no words came out, he did not even know what to say.

Kuroto is too poor now. What he lacks most and needs most is money. Because of lack of money, all his experiments have also come to a halt, and he is left with no choice but to make do with the female Fire Clone.

Tap… tap…

Miko-sama was confused by Kuroto’s sudden change, but before she could ask anything sound of footsteps approaching came from the outside.

Kuroto frowned and activated his Tenseigan.

Miko-sama said anxiously, “It’s Yomi, he must have noticed that you sneaked in here!”

Kuroto also noticed that it was Yomi, and his lips arched in a cold smirk, “Just right, now I wouldn’t have to bother searching for him.”

Miko-sama anxiously said, “There is one more thing you need to know, a man named Shinno has swallowed Moryo, and he must be on his way toward Shion now if he is allowed to swallow the powers of Miko from Shion, then he will gain unimaginable power, so you have to protect Shion from him… he must not be allowed to get near Shion.”

Kuroto asked, “Alright, I will rush out as soon as I kill Yomi, and what are you going to do Miko-sama?”

Miko-sama said with a bitter expression, “The chakra that my spirit contains won’t stay much longer, time is running out for my spirit… ev-…”

Before Miko-sama could finish her words, the gate of this room was pushed open and a gloomy voice came, “I knew you will come ‘Yama’ I have been waiting for you, now come… and be prepared to die… hmm? Who are you?” – The gloomy voice stopped midway, and looked at Kuroto with a confused expression, “Wait, I recognize that face. You are Hyuga Kuroto of Konoha, right? What are you doing here? Wait are you ‘Yama’?”

Kuroto did not bother to answer, as there was no need to.
