BXBX NOVEL Chapter 676
Chapter 676: Alternate Approach
As Tsunade took the scroll back, she noted that Kuroto was not disappointed… noting this, she couldn’t help but be surprised, “Did you succeed?”
Kuroto just smiled mischievously and chose to remain silent…
Tsunade wasn’t sure, she had the feeling Kuroto hasn’t succeeded, but at the same time, his expression was telling that he has…
Kuroto said, “Well now that I have returned back the scroll, I’ll take my leave… as for my end of the deal, if any situation arises, I’ll do what I promised…” then turned around and left.
Tsunade nodded absentminded, as she watched Kuroto disappear from her office.
As for Tsunade’s state of mind, Kuroto sort of expected it… And if he has to tell the truth about whether he has mastered the Yin-seal or not, then the answer would be, ‘he has, but at the same time, he hasn’t.’
It is an indisputable fact that the Yin-seal is more suitable for females as per its design… as for whether it is impossible for males to master it? Then the answer is no… There is nothing impossible in this world… All that there is the level of difficulty.
Kuroto knows that as long as he is given some time, he can make the necessary changes to the seal, and make it suitable for males to use it…
It’s just that seven days is not enough to make all those changes…
So, what Kuroto did was use another approach…
He believes that if he gets the chance to personally experience the working of Yin-seal, then mastering it isn’t a big deal.
And to do so, he used his Tsukihi Clone and tried to burn the Yin seal in that clone.
Since the Tsukihi clone is biologically a female, so the chakra pathway system of that clone is that of a female, hence, there was no problem in regard to burning the Yin seal in it.
When tried, he succeeded in the first attempt and experienced the feeling as all the meridians in the body were connected to the seal.
He was really happy about the success, and for the next few days, he experienced the process of chakra gathering inside the Yin seal.
Using this approach, Kuroto was able to understand the Yin-seal quite well, and also figured out how to improve it so that males can also master it.
Of course, it would take some time as the goal is quite far, but since the road is smooth and clear, so, there won’t be any problem.
With these thoughts in his mind, Kuroto returned to the Ninja Academy.
Standing by the window of the principal’s office, and looking at the children on the training field, Kuroto pondered over the other matters.
This entire week he was busy cultivating the Yin-seal, but, even if he was busy, his attention on the intelligence of the shinobi world was never relaxed.
According to the information given to him by his various sources, the Shinobi World has recently fallen into turbulence because of the incident that recently occurred in Kumogakure.
Let’s start from the beginning.
As it is already known, after Sandaime took back the position of Konoha’s Hokage, he sent a negotiation team to the Land of Lightning with the intention of recovering Danzo back to Konoha and punishing him for his crimes.
However, this didn’t go exactly as planned… The negotiation team led by Elder Utatane was intercepted at the border of the Land of Lightning by the Kumogakure Shinobi and an argument broke out between the two.
The people of Konoha accused the people of Kumogakure of providing shelter to Konoha’s criminals and destroying the unity of the five nations, meanwhile, the people of Kumogakure accused Konoha of kidnapping their shinobi and using them to perform forbidden and inhuman rituals.
Both sides were accusing each other, and at the same time, both were right on their part, so obviously no negotiations could be held unless a third party gets involved.
When the two sides were arguing with each other, and the matter was starting to escalate, an unexpected, inexplicable fierce battle broke out inside Kumogakure.
The battle was of such a degree that it affected the entire village.
Although Kumogakure tried to block the news, such a thing is obviously impossible. The spies of one village are always inside the other, therefore, other villages such as Konoha, Suna, Kiri, and Iwa soon learned of it.
The most shocking part of the news was that during the battle, an incomparably large Susano’o of dark and dirty red color also appeared in the battle. It wasn’t seen for very long, but for the time it was, Kumogakure experienced catastrophic destruction.
After the Susano’o disappeared, the injured Raikage and Killer Bee led a large number of elite Kumo shinobi on a hunting mission outside the village.
When the other village got this information, everyone was at a loss. The Uchiha Clan showed clear concern in this matter.
The appearance of Susano’o meant that someone from the Uchiha Clan was involved in the battle, and since, the color and appearance of this Susano’o were completely different from all the Susano’o that have appeared so far, it meant that a new pair of Mangekyou Sharingan has appeared in the Shinobi World.
When Kuroto learned of this, he was able to roughly guess things.
Undoubtedly, the ones who fought in the battle were Kumogakure shinobi, probably including Raikage Ay as well as Killer Bee, and Danzo.
It seems that Hamu wasn’t able to keep control over that body for very long, and whatever later happened led to the series of events.
Anyway, the news that Raikage and Killer Bee led a large number of elite shinobi on a hunting mission meant that Danzo is no longer in Kumogakure, which is quite the conundrum.
This problem may be a good thing as well as a bad thing for Kuroto.
Good thing because he will be able to keep a close tab on Danzo’s movements and plan his next move accordingly, and the bad thing because other villages will also start to get involved in this matter.
“Sigh… it’s such a hassle…” he sighed then sat on his desk and started to study some scrolls.
Kuroto has a gut feeling that he will only get one chance to deal with Danzo, and if he doesn’t deal with Danzo in that one chance, then something might happen that he isn’t willing to see.
Since Kuroto doesn’t that to happen, so he needs to plan well before making his move.
As such, he calmly sat back on his desk…
The time is not yet ripe for Kuroto to act…
