Kabuto laughed, “Orochimaru-sama, they didn’t even dare to fight, is the deterrent effect of the first two Hokage so high?”
Orochimaru nodded, “Perhaps. He was the God of Shinobi, after all.”
Kabuto then said with a thoughtful expression, “If that is the case then we no longer need to fear Akatsuki or Amatsukami. As long as Shodaime Hokage is on our side Akatsuki is no longer a threat to us and coupled with the fact that Shodaime is an Edo Tensei, so he is practically immortal, and has infinite Chakra, he might even be able to deal with both Yama and Nagato.”
Orochimaru nodded, but then shook his head, “Hmm, the current him is definitely not the opponent of either of the two. This might be the case in the future when Edo Tensei is developed further and the reincarnated ones are able to display their full potential, but right now, they are not.”
Orochimaru is very clear about this, the fact that the five Akatsuki members managed to escape alone shows this, because if the two Hokage were at full strength, then the five of them wouldn’t have been able to escape, Wood Style and, Flying Raijin Jutsu would have put them out of their misery.
Kabuto said, “In that case, we must develop Edo Tensei further to restore the strength of Shodaime Hokage to his full potential.”
Orochimaru nodded. They have already improved Edo Tensei left by Nidaime Hokage quite a lot. “Additionally, the strength and quality of the sacrifices used must also be improved.”
Kabuto nodded, and said, “Alright, I will find the right sacrifices.”
Orochimaru said, “Do it as soon as possible we have a big thing coming ahead.”
Kabuto’s eyes widened, and he asked, “Do you mean you are accepting that agreement?”
Orochimaru licked his lips and said, “Just perfunctorily, I will be going to Konoha to discuss the Alliance agreement between Konoha and Otogakure.”
When the news of a new Shinobi Village being established in the Land of Rice Field/Land of Sound was received by Konoha, Sandaime Hokage immediately sent a formal representative to form an alliance with Otogakure.
Kabuto asked again, “Have you notified Shimura Danzo?”
“Danzo?” Orochimaru said with a disdainful snort, “Danzo no longer holds any qualification to cooperate with me… The path he is trying to follow will only lead to his doom, the only thing he is useful for is being a good guinea pig.” Then jumped and move towards the battlefield.
Kabuto did not say anything and silently followed.
Both of them did not the white Zetsu Clone hidden inside the ground who submerged itself inside the earth after everything was said and done.
…
Konohagakure, Kuroto’s home.
Looking at the pulsating green chakra Kuroto’s eyes widened, and he asked in surprise, “So, you are already able to use Iryo Ninjutsu?”
Yui shook her head, and said, “I learned the right frequency, but the potency is still too low so I can only heal small cuts, no major wound.”
Kuroto patted her head, and said, “Still, that’s a very good rate of progress.”
Yui smiled, she was genuinely happy.
When Kuroto returned from Kirigakure, he was surprised to find that on the very next day of his departure for the mission, Tsunade-sama had already summoned Yui and took a test on her; after she was satisfied with Yui, Tsunade-sama formally accepted Yui as her disciple.
Kuroto was happy when he learned of this and made sure to complete the end of his promise to Tsunade, so, in the past two days, Kuroto managed to sell the Byakugan to the Hyuga Clan, of course, only Hyuga Hiashi knows of this transaction, other than the Patriarch of the Hyuga Clan and ‘Fujin’ of Amatsukami, no one else is aware of this secret transaction.
The price ‘Fujin’ asked for the Byakugan was 70 million Ryo, and Hyuga Hiashi agreed to that price, after all, Amatsukami is too dangerous, if they were offended not only will the Byakugan not be obtained, but Amatsukami will become an enemy of the Hyuga Clan, and the Hyuga Patriarch wanted neither so he agreed.
Using those 70 million Ryo and adding some from his own pocket, Kuroto paid of Tsunade-sama’s debts, as promised.
But what made Kuroto more surprised was that, aside from Yui, Tsunade-sama had also taken another Kunoichi by the name of Uchiha Izumi as her disciple, which was a shocker.
‘Maybe, Tsunade-sama used this opportunity to also involve the Uchiha Clan in her plan, no wonder her plan was accepted by Hokage-sama, it is obvious that Hokage-sama will not refuse her with Hyuga Clan and the Uchiha Clan both backing her. Moreover, this perhaps works in the favor of both the Uchiha Clan and the Hokage faction, as they obviously intend to resolve their internal conflict so that they direct all their attention on Akatsuki and Amatsukami. Heh, poor Danzo.’ Kuroto smirked as he imagined what would be the mood of Shimura Danzo these days.
“Kuroto-kun, you are giving off a wicked smirk!” Yui pointed out.
Kuroto immediately put back his smirk, and said, “Oh sorry-sorry, anyway, now that you are a disciple of Tsunade-sama, you do not need to waste time cleaning up the house or my meal, focus on your growth, that’s more important.”
Yui frowned, and asked, “But you don’t do these things and if I don’t do them either, won’t this place become dirty?”
Kuroto shook his head, “It doesn’t matter, if it becomes let it become, if anything, I will do it myself.”
Yui looked at Kuroto as if she has heard the worst possible lie, and said as if she doesn’t believe him at all, “Yes, yes, I believe you.”
Kuroto’s felt as if his ego was being questioned, and said with some emphasis, “Hey, I am being serious, don’t do these tasks in the future, I will do them myself, or with my Shadow Clones, or if even that doesn’t work, then I will arrange someone else to do it for me.”
Yui said with a pout, “Except for me, who else will take care of you?”
Kuroto smiled, “Heh, I have subordinates in the Anbu, they are all free labor, if I order them to clean my home, obviously they dare not complain.”
Yui sighed, “Just what else did I expect? Besides, even if you don’t say it, I have also come to understand that I won’t have much time in the future, to learn under Tsunade-sama, then also taking care of Hinata-chan and Shion-Chan’s teachings, I will be very busy from now on, I just hope that there is some time I can spend with you.”
