Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan
chapter-128

Shinichi was highly surprised and asked in shock, “What!? You want me to join his organization?”

Kuroto didn’t bother explaining the ins and out of the matter; just stated flatly, “He should have invited you to join his organization, right? I need information on that organization, and your first assignment will be to join that organization as my spy!”

The current actions Obito took are already very different from the original story, from these alone; the direction of the plot has started to deviate more and more from what Kuroto remembers.

Therefore, his knowledge of the future would soon become less and less useful, and sometimes his actions to maintain the plot might even backfire, which Kuroto can’t afford to have, so instead of wasting his time to keep the plot in check, Kuroto would rather use other means to have an advantage over others.

This is why he needs a spy in the Akatsuki Organization; to have a grasp over their real-time movements and goals, after all, Kuroto can’t leave such dangerous people like Obito and Pain; without any check.

And what better candidate for this job than Shinichi?

Various reasons make Shinichi the perfect candidate for this job.

First is that all the events surrounding Shinichi’s defection have been initiated by Obito, so in a sense, Shinichi is just a chess piece that Obito cultivated, therefore, he would be less wary of Shinichi.

The second is that; Shinichi is already strong enough to be a high-tier member of the Akatsuki, so it will be easier for him to gather intelligence on their movements.

The third is that Shinichi defected after killing many of the Root and Anbu ninjas, so there wouldn’t be that much worry about him being a spy.

The fourth is that Kuroto can be sure that Shinichi wouldn’t betray him, as long as, Kuroto keeps his word, so Kuroto doesn’t have to worry about Shinichi’s loyalty getting out of hand.

At this time Shinichi said with a little hesitation, “I… I’m not sure if I’ll be a good spy, I am worried that I wouldn’t be able to restrain my anger when I see that masked man and he will see through my façade…”

This statement made Kuroto smirk… this is the final reason, Uchiha Shinichi isn’t an idiot, he may be arrogant, emotional, and a little annoying, but Shinichi is definitely not dumb, so this makes him one of the current best candidate if you don’t count Itachi…

Crossing his arms over his chest, Kuroto said with a smile, “Yes, that’s why you would be the perfect candidate…”

“Eh…? How come?” – Shinichi asked in confusion.

“It’s very simple actually… You just don’t need to cover your hatred towards him, you don’t need to deliberately suppress yourself, in fact, you can even attack him whenever you see him, that will only make him believe that you are not a spy… and he would, in fact, drop his guard against you!”

Shinichi asked in confusion, “Why?”

Initially, Kuroto wanted to say, ‘Because you are both crazy and idiots’ but looking at Shinichi’s serious look, Kuroto changed his words, “Because both of you are Uchiha!”

“Huh… as expected he is also an Uchiha… but aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill him; if I do attack him; that is?”

Kuroto sighed at this sentence and muttered in his heart, ‘If only it was that simple! I have awakened the Tenseigan, and I am sure that I still can’t kill him!’

Shaking his head, Kuroto answered Shinichi, “I mean even if you do attack him, he won’t suspect you to be a spy, but I recommend not doing so as you still don’t have any means to kill him.”

Cough-cough…

Shinichi wanted to argue at Kuroto’s blunt statement, but before he could speak, he spurted blood!

Kuroto frowned when he saw this happen and asked while narrowing his eye, “What’s happening to you?”

While continuing to cough out more and more blood, Shinichi waved his hand towards Kuroto to indicate that he was alright.

Seeing all this happening Kuroto’s expression became more and more serious.

This is because Kuroto was able to see that Shinichi’s Chakra was getting weaker by the second and there are no signs of stopping.

Not only that, Kuroto even felt that Shinichi’s vitality is also declining, it feels unclear but there is no doubt about it.

Puff…

However, before they could do anything, a cloud of blood burst out of Shinichi’s chest.

Immediately afterward, several sword marks started to appear over his chest and arms, with obvious bluish-purple traces, indicating the presence of toxins within them.

At a glance; Kuroto recognized them as the spread of the paralytic poison he concocted and used on his Kusanagi Sword.

“That’s the paralytic effect…?” – muttered Kuroto with a thoughtful look.

The injuries that started to appear on Shinichi’s body are obviously the ones that Kuroto inflicted him with; in their previous battle.

This undoubtedly shows that Shinichi’s ‘Guardian’ state has been lifted and they seem to all appear at once on his body.

Then Kuroto thought of the fact that how he slashed Shinichi’s body into two halves with the ‘Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion’ and frowned, “He wouldn’t die just like this, right?”

However, Kuroto’s worries were soon becoming a reality!

As sword wounds started to appear on his chest.

Very soon, these cuts spread up to his waist, and finally, his body started being divided into upper and lower fragments.

“This…?” – Kuroto hurriedly ran towards Shinichi, to try to save him, but looking at Shinichi’s body that was already divided into two parts, Kuroto wasn’t able to do anything for a while.

At this moment, a bloody tear flowed out of Shinichi’s other eye.

Seeing this tear, Kuroto was slightly surprised.

Immediately activating his Tenseigan, Kuroto looked at Shinichi’s state.

Uchiha Shinichi, who should have already been dead because of his body dividing into two parts, didn’t die, but in fact, recovered to his previous state in the blink of an eye.

If it was someone else, maybe they wouldn’t have noticed anything, but in that brief moment, when his body has divided into two halves to the moment he recovered, Kuroto noticed many details, and just one thought flashed in his mind.

‘This is not recovery or regeneration, it’s actually backflow of time!’

Kuroto keenly noticed that the recovery of Shinichi’s all the wounds happened in the exact opposite order of their appearance, and the recovery also happened as if the clock was turning back, this is simply the backflow of time, not just regeneration!

It didn’t take long for Shinichi to recover to his peak state; and if it weren’t for the shocking presence of all the blood that was still present on the ground, Kuroto might even suspect that the scene that happened before him wasn’t true!

Recovering from his shock, Kuroto asked Shinichi with a curious expression, “Your Mangekyou Sharingan ability is related to time?”

Shinichi, who was slightly pale due to blood loss nodded and said with slight weakness, “The ability of my left Mangekyou is called ‘Hachiman’, it’s a ‘Guardian’ ability; that will maintain my peak condition for a certain period of time, and all the injuries and chakra depletion I suffer in this period will become worthless in that time frame, and finally break out later when the ability is deactivated.”

Kuroto nodded in understanding and said, “As I guessed, but what you just used a few seconds before was the ability of your right eye wasn’t it?”

Shinichi covered his right eye and said with some pain he was feeling, “The ability of my right is called, ‘Nakisawame’, It’s sort of a ‘Resident Time House’, and it allows me to revert the flow of time!”

‘Seriously! Both of them are too much of cheat ability, and more so when combined together!’ – this was Kuroto’s thought when he heard the description of Shinichi’s Mangekyou abilities.

After thinking a little, Kuroto asked, “You just used the ability of your right Mangekyou Sharingan to revert back the flow of time and then remove those injuries you suffered from the normal time flow, right?”

Shinichi glanced at Kuroto with a helpless expression, as he said weakly, “I didn’t expect you to see through it in just one glance!”

After getting his confirmation, Kuroto pointed at the ground and asked in confusion, “If that’s the case then what’s the matter with all the blood? If you are reversing time and removing your injuries from the normal time flow, shouldn’t this blood also return back to you?”

Shaking his head, Shinichi said with a saddened expression, “The power of Nakisawame only acts on me, once something is out of my Chakra range, i.e., the blood has flowed out of my body, my ability wouldn’t affect it… this is also the reason I couldn’t bring the dead back to life with this ability!”

Kuroto nodded in understanding, “No wonder we saw a lot of those bloodstains in a tree cave before. It turns out those bandages weren’t used to wrap the wounds but to prevent the blood from flowing out of your body!”
