Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan
chapter-208

Hiashi handed the convening order issued by Sandaime to the young brother Hizashi while he was considering something.

Hizashi read the content of the scroll and said without any hesitation, “I will go!”

Even though there have been many casualties over the years, the number of elites has somewhat grown over the past two years therefore, Hiashi was also a bit worried whether the situation would return back.

But an order is an order, nothing can be done about it, so the participation of Hizashi in the hunting operation is also an inevitable thing.

“Amatsukami is not a simple bounty-nin organization, pay attention to safety.” – After a short pause, Hiashi continued, “Make sure to choose some of the elites, excluding Kuroto-Kun, and take them with you, honestly I would rather let Kuroto-Kun handle this matter, but it seems he will be busy with Anbu task, anyways that aside, pay attention to your safety as well as the safety of others from the clan.”

Hizashi nodded and after selecting 5 ninjas at the level of Jonin and Tokubetsu Jonin, Hizashi rushed to the gathering point.

As soon as he arrived at the gathering point, Hizashi noticed some of the acquaintances.

‘Inoichi, Shikaku, Choza…’ – Looking at the familiar faces, Hizashi paid more attention to the matter.

On the other side of the gathering point stood, Patriarch of the Inuzuka Clan, along with Inuzuka Tsume and their canine partners, Aburame Shibi and the other Aburame Clan shinobi quietly sitting.

At this time, Shimura Danzo led a large number of civilian shinobi as well as Anbu ninja at the gathering point.

Standing at the high platform, Danzo tapped his crutch on the ground harshly to attract everyone’s attention and said coldly, “This time the mission is to hunt and wipe out the criminal organization Amatsukami, I will be the commander, I do hope that everyone will work together and follow the given orders, that is all!”

After that, Danzo waited for everyone to process his words, and a few seconds later the entire unit set out.

…

Hyuga Kuroto’s home.

Only a few minutes passed since he returned to his house from the Dungeon Prison and released the shadow clone and let the information sink in.

At this time, an Anbu appeared at the front gate and conveyed the summoning order issued by Sandaime-Sama.

Kuroto nodded and after getting dressed in his Eagle Anbu combat uniform, he rushed towards the Hokage Office.

Arriving at the Hokage office, Kuroto saw that the other three members of Team-11 had already gathered at the Hokage Office before him.

With the arrival of the last member of Team-11, Sandaime turned away from the window of the Hokage Office and passed the scroll detailing the content of the mission to the captain of Team-11.

Kakashi in his Dog Anbu vest received the scroll, and briefly looking through the contents he stepped forward and bowed, “Team-11 will obey the instructions!”

As stated before, the Anbu do not have the right to refuse any mission they are ordered to complete. Even if the Hokage task them with the death mission, the Anbu must fulfill it without any question, unless he wants to be labelled as a nuke-nin.

Sandaime nodded, “The village has decided to let Elder Consultant Shimura Danzo be the commander responsible for the annihilation of Amatsukami.”

As soon as he heard this, Shisui’s gaze turned towards Kuroto, but noticing that there was no change in Kuroto’s expression, as usual, Shisui also calmed his mind and turned his attention back to Sandaime.

“I want all the details of the hunting operation, so the mission of Team-11 is to observe and monitor all the personnel involved in the hunting mission.”

Kakashi asked with a bit of hesitation, “Does Elder Consultant Shimura Danzo also has to be monitored?”

Sandaime nodded and said in a deep voice, “All the personnel participating in the operation must be monitored, Elder Consultant Shimura Danzo and the Toad Sannin Jiraiya are no exception, is that understood?”

Kakashi replied, “Yes, Hokage-sama!”

With Kakashi’s reply, Sandaime’s gaze turned towards the other three of the team-11 and finally landed on Shisui, “Uchiha Shisui, Anbu Code-Cat, you will be responsible for monitoring the movements of the Uchiha Clan!”

Without any hesitation in his voice, Shisui nodded, “Yes, Hokage-sama!”

Sandaime’s words and actions imply that he is willing to trust the Uchiha Clan and try to resolve the conflict, and the same is happening from the side of the Uchiha Clan too, therefore, it wouldn’t wrong to say that the Coup will be delayed until the threat of Amatsukami is resolved, with this Shisui was very relieved and happy.

The clever idea to prepare a common enemy for the Uchiha Clan and Konoha was very ingenious and clever, with this they have more time to resolve the issue of the Uchiha Coup!

After leaving the Hokage Office, the four members arrived at a remote secret route that Team-11 uses for going out of the village during their mission.

Dog said, “The objective of the mission is focused monitoring and surveillance, however, there are too many targets to be monitored, therefore, we will all act separately.”

Eagle, Cat, and Monkey nodded in agreement.

With no objection from any of the members of the team, Dog said, “I will be responsible for monitoring Elder Consultant Shimura Danzo and the other Anbu beside him, be that of the Root subdivision, Eagle will be responsible for monitoring Jiraiya-sama and the shinobi of all the other major clans such as the Hyuga, Ino-Shika-Cho, Sarutobi and so on, Monkey will be responsible for monitoring the minor clans and the civilian shinobi, finally, as Hokage -sama ordered, Cat will be responsible for the elites of the Uchiha Clan, is that clear?”

Everyone nodded.

Hyuga Kuroto can’t help but have a respectful look towards Hatake Kakashi, in all the missions they have performed up to now, Kakashi has always taken the initiative to perform the most dangerous part and it is not because he distrusts others ability but it is because he does not wish to let other comrades die before him, and this is worth respecting if anything!

This time is also similar, the commander of the operation obviously has the most sensitive identity, and team-11 has to make sure that they are not noticed while carrying out this secret mission, therefore monitoring Shimura Danzo is a highly challenging task.

After everyone’s part was assigned, the team separated, Dog and Monkey left towards the direction their targets will be.

After confirming that no one was around, Cat removed his Anbu mask and said with a slightly excited expression, “Kuroto-san, your method has really started to work!”

Eagle also removed his Anbu mask and asked curiously, “Has it started to work so soon?”

Shisui nodded repeatedly, “In the clan meeting held not too long ago, everyone only discussed how to hunt down and eliminate Amatsukami as well as rescue Uchiha Hideki, and no one mentioned anything about the Coup, even the other shinobi of Uchiha Clan were angry at the shameless Amatsukami and no one mentioned anything related to the Hokage faction, this is the beginning of something…”

Seeing Shisui’s excited expression, Kuroto nodded and patted him on the shoulder, “If that’s the case then very good, but make sure to not be too happy, currently the two factions have somewhat realized the threat that Amatsukami pose, but they have not deeply understood just how dangerous Amatsukami is and will be in the near future, so we can’t let our guards down, until this point is ingrained in their hearts, moreover the main objective of all this is to divert their attention towards a common enemy and then close the rift between the two factions over time, otherwise the dissatisfaction in the hearts of both side will not completely disappear.”

Shisui who was ruthlessly poured down with cold water nodded with a sigh, “Yes, now everyone is somewhat scared of some fictional enemy called Amatsukami, and this has prompted them to work together, it will take much longer to resolve the conflict between the two sides…” – shaking his head to clear up his mind, Shisui asked again, “So Kuroto-san, what should we do next?”

Kuroto thought a little and said, “This time the village has launched a large-scale hunt down operation, additionally tasked us for the monitoring purpose, the objective should also be to find out if there are any eyeliners hidden inside Konoha, well we don’t have to worry about the second point, as for the first we don’t need to deal with pointless trouble, so let Amatsukami be out of the limelight, for the time being, this way Akatsuki will get more unwanted attention.” – After Kuroto said this, the two of them nodded to play it safe for the time being and disappeared in a different direction for the monitoring task.

This time, Konoha was not restrained and quickly demonstrated its power, even though greatly weakened, Konoha still maintains the most strength of the five great nations, and as expected, within a few short weeks, most of the black-market exchange spots, secret intelligence offices, gold exchanges, and other underground organizations hidden in the territory of the Land of Fire were all swept in one fell swoop.

A large number of black-market officers were arrested and thrown into prison cells for the inquiry and mind reading.

Not only that, all the bounty ninja and defected-nin that were hiding inside the Land of Fire were also fished out of the waters and suffered mercilessly at the hands of torture specialists and Yamanaka shinobi.

After all, not all bounty-nin can be as strong as the members of Akatsuki and Amatsukami and were quickly resolved.

And a few handful ones, those who have a good level of strength were informed of the troubles that Amatsukami has caused with Konohagakure and has already left the Land of Fire tacitly because they understood that Konoha would not sit back and let them do as they please.

Overall, the hunting operation didn’t encounter any major resistance and went very smoothly in the face of the difference in combat power of the two sides, in fact, the operation went too smoothly that everyone felt too pressured, because they couldn’t find anything about Amatsukami no matter how much they searched… It was as if Amatsukami doesn’t even exist in reality…!
