Chapter 379: A short Chapter
In the original story, Team Ro was an elite or perhaps the most elite Anbu Unit of Konoha. It housed some of the best Konoha Anbu of that time including Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Itachi, Tenzo/Yamato, Yugao Uzuki et cetera.
Hatake Kakashi was the captain of Team Ro, and after Kakashi officially left the Anbu, it was probably Tenzo who took on that role.
But here these roles have changed, Kakashi and Shisui have become part of Special Tactical Forces, while Kuroto has become the captain of Team Ro.
As for who will be the members of Team Ro? Kuroto doesn’t know that yet, but considering that they are going to be part of Team Ro, Kuroto does hope that they are some talented shinobi, otherwise, it will be really hard for him to keep that team alive.
Anyway, becoming the Leader of Team Ro also puts him a step closer to becoming the Hokage.
At this time Shisui asked, “Kuroto-san do you think the various divisions that are being created to specifically target Akatsuki members will be effective?”
Kuroto said, “Without knowing the accurate composition of teams, it is really hard for me to judge, but I don’t really think that they will be much effective, sure teamwork and targeted strategies might prove to be effective, but when it comes to the matter of showing significant result, the chances are quite less, because, in the face of absolute power, strategies, preparations, planning, tricks, teamwork, along with other similar things are all pretty meaningless.”
This is a hard and proven fact. Just take Uchiha Madara’s example, everything was useless in the face of Uchiha Madara’s power after he became the Jinchuriki of Juubi. If it hadn’t been for Kuro Zetsu, the entire Shinobi world would have been covered in an eternal Genjutsu.
Moreover, even if these targeted strategies are being created, the enemy too is getting stronger and figuring out tactics they can use to deal with us, so making a guess over such a thing is very difficult.
Kuroto himself is a little worried about this because many of his Jutsu has been exposed. Others may not perfectly understand them, but Kuro Zetsu should understand them well enough. Although, Kuroto doesn’t think that Kuro Zetsu would give out that knowledge so easily, you never know. If Kuro Zetsu starts to feel desperate in the face of Amatsukami’s strength, then he might start spitting out all the intelligence he has.
And even if Akatsuki does not perfectly understand his Jutsu, it won’t stop them from making various strategies.
Kuroto thought, ‘I do hope that Shinichi will be able to provide me with some sort of useful intelligence.’
The timeline of this world has completely shifted from the canon version of the shinobi world, and with this complete deviation, much of Kuroto’s knowledge of the plot has become rather useless, as such Shinichi’s importance as a spy in Akatsuki is more than ever.
Whether Nagato has really transplanted Hashirama Cells? Whether Nagato has succeeded? What actions are being planned by Obito? What will be Akatsuki’s next move in response to tri-Alliance? Which members of the organization will be going after which Bijuu? Who will be their next recruit? Where is Akatsuki’s new hideout?
Shinichi is the source of all this information.
But the thing is, Shinichi hasn’t contacted Kuroto for quite a while now. It is possible that he has been too busy… or maybe because the entire organization has been collected at the same place that he has been unable to contact him in other’s presence.
There is also a possibility that Shinichi’s cover is blown and he is been eliminated, so Kuroto is also worried about that.
If Shinichi’s is eliminated then that source of inside information will be gone, and if that happens, Kuroto can only have Itachi play the role.
Seeing Kuroto lost in thought, Shisui said, “Does that mean it will all be a wasted effort?”
Kuroto said, “Regardless of whether they work or not, Amatsukami will have to make their own side preparations…”
And Shisui nodded, “Alright I will keep that in mind. if there is nothing more to discuss, I will be taking my leave…”
Kuroto nodded, and with that Shisui disappeared from the room.
After Shisui had gone Kuroto moved to another room on the upper floor, and after making sure that no one was spying on him, as well as that Yui was still asleep, Kuroto took out a storage scroll and unsealed the contents stored inside it.
Poof…
What appeared before Kuroto was a set of sealed test tubes each of which contained a greenish liquid. These test tubes were marked from 1-A to 1-Z.
This green liquid substance inside all these sealed test tubes is processed by Hashirama Cells, each with a different potency.
‘Now I have to check which of these samples have the best match with Shisui’s cells.’ – thought Kuroto.
The possibility of success is obviously close to zero here, this is because no one will be directing the fusion of Hashirama Cells and Shisui’s cells, but even with that, the fusion sample will stay active for the most amount of time can be considered a success. This is because the Hashirama Cells in that particular sample will be most docile and easier to fuse with the body.
With the objective of finding out the most docile sample, Kuroto started to carry out the next series of preparations and tests.
