Chapter 236 - – 233 *Can’t Think Of A Suitable Title*
Although these figures were coming from all directions, their converging point was the same, that is, the place where that loud large explosion occurred a few minutes ago.
As soon as they reached the place, the first thing that they were greeted with was the sea of golden fire that was burning uncontrollably, the next thing they discovered was the deep pit which lied at the center of the sea of golden flames, then there were several hundreds of meters long trenches all over the battlefield, overall, it appeared as if a devastating war just took place here, which was actually true in a sense.
Before proceeding to take steps on the battlefield, the burning fire must be extinguished as the temperature of the flames was unusually high, which would cause burns if anyone carelessly treads at the battlefield.
As such, the ninjas that arrived at the battlefield endured the charring smoke that choked their throats and high temperature that caused heat burns even from a distance and began using all sorts of Water Style Jutsu to extinguish the flames.
However, some soon discovered that this unique type of golden fire was too violent and couldn\'t be extinguished by Water.
Fortunately, the fire was not spreading to the surroundings and was only burning this area so that was a bit relieving but they will have to put down the fire if the site analysis has to be done.
Not long after, Shimura Danzo, the commander of the hunting operation soon led a team of shinobi and arrived at this burning site.
Coming with Danzo were not only a large number of Anbu of the Root subdivision, many elites shinobi as well as the Toad Sannin Jiraiya.
Looking at the mess that this \'once upon a time calm mountain\' is now, Danzo had a gloomy look, nobody could understand what Elder Danzo was thinking at this moment.
By now, the flames have started to gradually fade away for some unknown reason so it saved everyone a lot of trouble.
Carefully walking through the battlefield, Jiraiya squatted before a long trench and looked at it thoughtfully.
Hyuga Hizashi, who has recovered from his injuries walked to the side of the Toad Sannin and muttered in disbelief, "What kind of ninjutsu can cause such trenches all over the battlefield? Are they caused by some kind of Wind Style Ninjutsu?"
Jiraiya knew that Hizashi wasn\'t asking this question from him but from himself, he still decided to speak, so shaking his head, Jiraiya spoke, "These trenches are not made by the use of Wind Style Ninjutsu but because of Sword Energies!"
Unlike other shinobi from Konoha, Jiraiya\'s Summon Toad, Gamabunta uses a \'Tonto\', of course, this tonto is small only relative to Gamabunta\'s humungous size but that\'s another topic of discussion.
So, anyway, Gamabunta\'s Tonto is a huge \'short sword.\'
And Jiraiya is used to seeing many such trenches left on the ground every time he summons Gamabunta to participate in battles, therefore, he could easily tell that these trenches were not formed by some kind of Wind Style Ninjutsu but by some kind of giant sword slashes.
"Sword Energies!?" – Hizashi was stunned, "What kind of sword can create such long trenches?"
This was beyond Hizashi\'s understanding if the trenches were tens of meters long then that could still be found acceptable, but hundreds of meters long?
Were the people fighting here were humans or towering titans?
While everyone was busy making their own analysis, the sensor ninjas also got busy in search of any remains of chakra they can use to identify the people who fought here.
The leader of the sensor ninjas spoke, "There are three types of chakra traces present here, two of which are very similar and should belong to the closely related people, and their chakra is very cold and evil, while the third type of chakra is kind of strange, I have never sensed something like this, but this chakra is unusually gentle and soothing completely opposite to that of the previous two."
Uchiha Kaminari asked eagerly, "Can you identify who they are?"
"Let me try and see if that is possible!" – The leader of the Sensor-nin again closed his eyes and tried to sense and after a few seconds, he shook his head, "Reading the characteristics of Chakra is indeed possible, but their traces do not match with any type of Chakra I have sensed before. But there\'s something strange, all the three chakras…"- he couldn\'t seem to be entangled in words on how to describe it.
Jiraiya walked over at this time and questioned, "What happened to these chakra traces?"
As soon as he noticed Jiraiya, he seemed to have found his point of reference and immediately spoke, "Jiraiya-sama, the intensity of those two cold chakras is not any lower than yours, but what\'s troubling is that the chakra of the last one is much-much higher than you… I have sensed the Chakra of many people, even that of the Sandaime Raikage, but it wouldn\'t be wrong to say that the chakra of this third person was even higher than him.
And from this, I can conclude that the people who fought here are only three, not even a single more, moreover, that two evil and cold chakras were confronting that gentle and peaceful one!"
Jiraiya was also stunned if the chakra of those people reaches such an unusually high level and one of them even surpasses someone like the Sandaime Raikage, then that is a very concerning issue.
Not just Jiraiya but even the other shinobi around were stunned by the sensor-nin\'s words.
It must not be forgotten that Jiraiya is one of the strongest shinobi of the current Konoha, so the fact that it can be confirmed that all the three people who fought here were either on the same level as him or probably higher is indeed very concerning!
One of the shinobi said, "Could it possible that they are the last members of the Uzumaki Clan?"
Sensor-nin said, "It\'s hard to judge, so I am not sure!"
Hizashi muttered anxiously, "Since when did so many powerhouses appear in the shinobi world?"
Akimichi Choza muttered with some sadness in his tone, "If Yondaime-sama was still alive then these rogue-ninjas would have never dared to venture into the land of fire and cause so much trouble… sigh, but alas…"
An Uchiha spoke when he heard Akimichi Choza\'s, "Do not worry Akimichi-dono, as long as the Uchiha Clan is in Konoha, no one will be allowed to humiliate Konoha get by after doing it!"
As he spoke, another Uchiha added, "Yes, the Uchiha Clan will never let these bastards get away after causing so much trouble for Konoha!"
Another Uchiha questioned from the sensor-nin, "Can these chakra remains be tracked to find out where they went after the battle here?"
The sensor-nin tried for a while and soon shook his head, "I am afraid but it\'s not possible!"
"Is there really no way to track these three bastards!?" – questioned Uchiha Kaminari.
The sensor-nin said, "There are traces remaining here, however, these three shinobi suddenly disappeared, as if they were never even here, so the most likely possibility is that they used some kind of space-time ninjutsu to leave this place as such tracking them is most likely impossible!"
"Damn it!" – Uchiha Kaminari cursed, "If only they can be tracked, then with the strength of Patriarch and Shisui it might have been possible to catch them!"
From the beginning to the end, Shimura Danzo did not interject in the conversation, but he did pay close attention to it.
And one doubt was lingering in his mind, He was wondering who the three of people who fought here are?
If it is assumed that one side is related to Amatsukami then who is the other party?
And why was that part confronting Amatsukami?
Is it possible that they are Akatsuki, just like the last time?
It does seem possible considering that the hostile relationship between the two sides is quite apparent!
…
Kuroto Secret Laboratory.
Looking at the two small nutrition tanks before him, each containing a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, Kuroto again breathed a sigh of relief.
Although that \'Stimulus Test\' took too much of his time, and was filled with many accidents and variables, the final result he obtained was worth all the hassle Kuroto had to go through!
Then Kuroto\'s gaze specifically turned towards the small nutrition tank containing Uchiha Hideki\'s Mangekyou Sharingan, "What could be Hideki\'s Mangekyou Sharingan Specific Techniques?"
Since Hideki did not use any of the techniques in the battle other than the Susanoo, so it was a little hard to guess.
Kuroto\'s thirst for knowledge is very similar to his sensei Orochimaru and is something he really can\'t restrain, for this reason, he has been so obsessed with all sorts of experiments. Discovering secrets and exploring the unknown gives Kuroto a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction which is one of his main driving forces pushing him forward towards his goal step-by-step.
Therefore, Kuroto did not wait any longer and quickly used the remaining of the two low-quality clones, putting the clone body on the test bench, Kuroto quickly used the chakra scalpel to remove the semi-completed Byakugan from the eye sockets.
Putting them in a solution jar at the side to keep them fresh, Kuroto transplanted Uchiha Hideki\'s Mangekyou Sharingan in those empty eye sockets of the clone body.
After having finished all of this, Kuroto sat on the chair at the side and made the hand seals, "Tenseigan Soul Descend!"
As soon as the seals were finished, Kuroto\'s main body suddenly became lethargic and lowered its head, and at the same instant, the clone body lying on the test bench opened its eyes.
