Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

After Shimura Danzo walked out, Homusubi and Orochimaru also got up from their respective seats and left the meeting room.

While walking side by side through the gloomy passages of the Root Base, both of them remained silent, and only the sound of their footsteps echoed in the quiet and empty passage.

A while later, the two of them came out of the Root Base, then by using a secret passage that both of them were quite familiar with, they made their way towards the forest not far from Konoha.

After confirming that no one was following them now, Orochimaru licked his lips, and while continuing to jump from one tree to another, he said, “I now fully believe that Nidaime Hokage-sama had a very good eye for judging someone’s character, and he made the right choice by not making Danzo Hokage… Shimura Danzo is really not suitable for that position… Ever since he has gained some political power and identity that is not even Hokage, he has started to lose himself… I won’t comment on other matters, but… it worries me that he has started to get out of our control too.”

While continuing to jump from one tree to another, Homusubi turned her head towards Orochimaru, and said, “A dying person who won’t live for very long, just bear him for a while… As long as we are careful, nothing will happen.”

Listening to Homusubi’s words, Orochimaru stared at her with interest and said, “It’s really surprising that you–who is not only an Uchiha but also a member of the overbearing Amatsukami Organization–can tolerate him to this extent. This further makes me believe that someone in your organization really wants to become a God!”

Tsukihi did not deny Orochimaru’s guess, “This is not a secret.”

“Is it your leader Yama?” he asked quickly, then for some reason paused and continued with a confused expression, “But Yama already seems to have such great power, isn’t he already a god?”

Tsukihi asked, “What do you think?”

Orochimaru shook his head and said, “It’s a pity that I have no idea whether your leader has stepped in the domain of God or not…” then paused and continued again, “In fact, I have always been curious, what exactly is your leader pursuing? Why did he create an organization such as Amatsukami, and how exactly did he manage to gather such Shinobi under him?”

Tsukihi denied answering this question, and simply stated, “You have too many questions.”

Orochimaru smiled lightly, and while licking his lips, he said, “My curiosity has always been very deep.”

Tsukihi said, “I am sure you must have heard the idiom, ‘Curiosity killed the cat.’ Make sure to restrain your curiosity…”

Orochimaru chuckled, and said, “But I am not a cat, I am a snake… so that idiom doesn’t apply to me…”

Tsukihi too chuckled, “I guess I can’t deny that… so let me ask you… how are you able to tolerate Shimura Danzo to this extent?”

“Being able to participate in this plan of creating a god is something I want to be part of, hence I can do everything necessary for that, tolerating just a Shimura Danzo is not a problem.” He said, then looked towards Konoha Village not far away with a melancholic expression, and said lightly, “Until a few months ago, I wanted to destroy Konoha, the cherished village of my Sensei right before his very eyes… and I was making various plans for that… but, when I witnessed Konoha being crushed by Tendo Pain, I lost interest in doing that… Now, I have only two goals, first is to learn all the Jutsu in the Shinobi World, and the second is to gain eternal life so that I can fulfill my first goal. For these two goals of mine, I can do anything and everything!”

Tsukihi nodded lightly, “I see.”

She neither denied Orochimaru’s goal nor did she accept it, she just remained silent and did not comment on it.

Orochimaru too remained silent as they parted ways and went their individual ways.

…

A few days later, the Office of the Principal of Ninja Academy

Hyuga Kuroto–while controlling the Suijin Clone disguised as Kuroto–was leisurely sitting on his comfy chair, and sipping hot green tea all while studying the scrolls of the Secret Ninjutsu of the Hozuki Clan that he got from the Ninjutsu archives of Kirigakure.

Sometimes his face would have a deep frown, other times it would have a look of understanding than an exciting smile, these changes in his expression meant that he was making progress in what he was studying.

Right now, all of Kuroto’s plans are moving forward in an orderly manner and steady pace.

Even if Shimura Danzo has ascended to the position of temporary Hokage agent and has started to get out of control, Kuroto is not that worried, because in doing so, Danzo has offended the entire Hokage faction that is led by Sarutobi Hiruzen, so Danzo is completed isolated at this time and there is no one trustworthy enough present around him who can monitor his actions and keep a check on them to make sure that Danzo doesn’t make a mistake.

Moreover, considering Danzo’s character, it is nothing strange that he has chosen not to trust anyone, so all the preparations of the ritual ceremony are handled by him alone. Others can’t get involved and he won’t even allow anyone whose life is not in his control to get involved either.

Of course, because of the presence of Naomi on Danzo’s side, Kuroto has all the real-time updates of Danzo’s movements, so he is not worried that Danzo will do something that might affect Kuroto’s plans in the future or catch him off guard, so he is not all that worried.

As for Deidara? Well, this kid is sort of trouble. The Kirigakure Anbu are searching for him, but this unpredictable kid is wandering all over Shinobi World with no purpose or goal, so tracking his movements has become sort of difficult, especially because he has very high maneuverability.

Even if getting Deidara’s cell tissues is urgent for Kuroto for creating the next clone, he can only wait for the news from Kirigakure Anbu, as such, he has no choice but to remain patient.

Considering that he no longer has to be extremely busy with Anbu duties and secret missions, and he also doesn’t have to worry about funds for the time being so he is not doing any Black-Market mission at this time either, therefore, it can be said that Kuroto is quite free and relaxed these days.

Kuroto decided to use this free time to do something productive and as such he is now studying all sorts of Water Style Secret Ninjutsu that he has managed to gather; his main objective is to master all the Secret Water Style Ninjutsu of the Hozuki Clan.

Oh, and the reason Kuroto is studying the Water Style Ninjutsu is to balance the average strength of his Suijin Clone with the other clones.

The Fujin Clone that has mastered five Kekkei Genkai is much more powerful compared to Kuroto’s Suijin Clone, even the Wind Nature Chakra of Fujin Clone is extremely potent, as such, its strength is higher compared to the other two Clones. This difference can cause a lot of problems for Kuroto during the final ritual, so he is left with no other choice but to work on the other two clones and balance all three of them.

Among the two clones that he has to balance, he finds working on Suijin Clone to be easier, and as such he chose this clone, this is not only because the affinity of Suijin Clone with Water Chakra Nature is extremely good, but also because Kuroto has developed some future plans for this Clone.

It is no secret that Suijin Clone has already mastered the Secret Technique of Hydration of the Hozuki Clan, having used it for quite a while, Kuroto feels that this Jutsu has very high potential that has not been exploited up until now… And Kuroto believes that he can do it.

Of course, what Kuroto has thought up is only valid for him, and not anyone else because there is no one other than Suijin out there who has mastered both Hydration Technique of the Hozuki Clan at the same time also possesses the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai of the Yuki Clan. Only when someone has both of these abilities with them at the same time will they be able to create the effect that Kuroto has thought of?

If Kuroto is able to successfully create that effect, the strength of Suijin Clone will shoot up, and undoubtedly reach the upper domain of Super Kage Class.

Well, anyhow… his short-term goals are very clear and Kuroto is working on them.

As he was busy studying the Jutsu recorded in the scroll before him, suddenly…

Knock Knock Knock

The door of the principal’s office was knocked on by someone.

He put the secret scroll in his hand inside the drawer of his table, then said, “Please come in.”

Following Kuroto’s call, Iruka and Mizuki together walked inside the principal’s office.

Kuroto looked at the two, and noticing the helpless expression of Iruka, he asked curiously, “What’s the matter?”

Iruka handed a report to Kuroto, then said, “Principal-san, this is already the ninth time today… please blame me for my ineffective supervision and carelessness that has affected the normal teaching progress of the class…”

Kuroto raised an eye after hearing Iruka’s words, he took the file from Iruka’s hand then read the report and said, “Uzumaki Naruto Challenged Uchiha Sasuke six times in the middle of the class… Rock Lee challenged Uchiha Sasuke twice, Akimichi Choji also challenged Uchiha Sasuke, and even Sai also challenged Sasuke?”

Without a doubt, this is the result of Sasuke’s declaration in front of everyone at the grand entrance ceremony… After the classes started, there were many students who wanted to defeat the arrogant kid, and as such, a lot of kids challenged Uchiha Sasuke.

However, all of them were easily defeated by Sasuke… Among all the students, Naruto is the one who has challenged Sasuke the most, and each time he was defeated miserably without even being able to counterattack or defend.

This continuous streak of loss made everyone clear that Naruto has not mastered Senjutsu, he was just bragging to draw attention to himself…

Of course, the ones who know the truth knows, Kuroto didn’t comment on it and allowed things to play out as they are.

Back to the present.

Seeing that Kuroto was looking at the report quite intently, Mizuki also added from the side, “Principal, Iruka isn’t the only one who bears the responsibility for this, I too am…”

Kuroto raised his head and glanced at Mizuki with a smile.
