Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan
chapter-33

Shishui’s emotional words made Itachi lost in thought.

He was naturally aware of the undercurrents surging within the family. He could already vaguely feel the contradiction between the Uchiha Clan and the village even when he was much younger, but he could not do anything about it.

After a moment of contemplation, Itachi wanted to say something but stopped: “Shisui-San, if the news of your loss to Kuroto-Senpai spread, I’m afraid…”

It’s not just the suppression from the Village that the Uchiha clan was excluded from the village. It can be said that most Uchihas are not very easy to get along with.

The main reason for all this is that once Uchiha’s people open their Dojutsu Kekkai Genkai, their strength will advance by leaps and bounds with the awakening of their Kekkai Genkai, and eventually they will grow into Jonin pretty easily, this is almost an inevitable fact.

It doesn’t take them too extraordinary effort to gain power above others.

Over time, it is natural for them to develop a sense of superiority over others.

Therefore, Itachi was very worried that after the news that Shisui the most genius of the Uchiha had lost to Hyuga Kuroto, the unruly individuals in the clan would definitely go to seek trouble with Hyuga Kuroto.

This is not unprecedented.

Shisui smiled: “I know what you are worried about, but you can rest assured that Kuroto-San is stronger than you or I might think!”

Itachi immediately understood the purpose of Shisui, so he was even more curious about the battle between Shishui and Kuroto, and hurriedly asked, “Tell me about your battle with Kuroto-senpai!”

Shisui recalled the previous contest with Kuroto and said slowly: “I never thought that Kuroto-San, who had been so unknown before, has higher Dujutsu power than me. Hey, every time I think of such a genius is so low-key, but I was repeatedly called the most genius by the Uchiha Clan, enjoying the envy and admiration of the companions in the village, I really felt ashamed.”

After shaking his head and sighing, Shisui described the process of the battle again.

“Both genjutsu and taijutsu are almost ineffective against him?” Upon hearing Shisui’s view of the battle, Itachi lowered his head and muttered to himself for a while, and then he said again: “Kuroto-senpai is so strong, it seems that I have been worrying too much for nothing.”

Shisui recalled something now, and said, “I also had a feeling during the entire time I was fighting him!”

Itachi asked, “What feeling?”

“Kuroto-San seems to know that I didn’t use my full strength in the battle, it seems as if he…”

Shisui wanted to say that he had a feeling that Kuroto seemed to be aware of the fact that he had awakened Mangekyo Sharingan, but he quickly shook his head and drove this kind of absurd idea out of his mind.

At present, there are only two people that are aware of the information that he has awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, and those two are none other than Shisui, himself, and Itachi, and Shisui believes that Itachi is more than sensible enough to not reveal this secret to anyone.

On the other side of Konoha Village,

Private Room, 2^nd Floor, Izakaya

Izakaya on the second floor.

After talking about his encounter with the Sasori of the Red Sand, Kuroto thought for a while, and tentatively asked: “Orochimaru-sama, do you know about the tail beasts?”

Orochimaru was a little surprised by Kuroto’s sudden question: “You are interested in the tail beast? Is it because of the Nibi Jinchuriki you met not long ago?”

Kuroto did not hide it and naturally nodded: “Due to my lack of talent, my chakra has never been sufficient enough. To solve this problem, I read many books and materials and conduct some research, but the final answers all point to the tail beast.”

Orochimaru smiled softly: “It seems we are quite similar, aren’t we? You too will do whatever it takes to get the answer you are looking for, but I’ll give you a piece of useful advice, don’t touch the tail beasts, they are more troublesome than one might think.”

Kuroto quickly said: “Tailed beasts are the secret Weapons of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. Of course, I won’t do anything to harm their interest so ignorantly. Therefore, I came to another conclusion, and I wanted to ask about it from you Orochimaru-Sama.”

“Hou… And what conclusion did you reach?” Orochimaru asked with some curiosity.

“Is it possible to artificially create something akin to that of a tailed beast?”

Now this question drew Orochimaru’s interest.

Seeing the positive change in Orochimaru’s expression, Kuroto immediately explained his idea of making an artificial-tailed beast to him.

With Kuroto’s current knowledge reserves, it is absolutely impossible to be able to create an artificial tail beast. If he wants the zero-tailed artificial tail beast to come into existence in advance, he must rely on the power of the Orochimaru, the second-best researcher in the Shinobi world.

As for why not the best? That question is very easy to answer!

The best is already dead, Nidaime Hokage-sama Senju Tobirama in Kuroto’s belief was the best researcher in the Shinobi World.

Moving that aside and coming back to the discussion.

Surprised by Kuroto’s thinking, Orochimaru was again taken aback for a moment, and then said in a hoarse voice: “Kuroto-Kun, you really are different from others, you are a person full of ideas and imagination.”

Kuroto looked at Orochimaru expectantly: “Is it possible to realize this vision of mine, Orochimaru-sama?”

After thinking for a while, Orochimaru said in a deep voice: “In fact, the Konoha village has been studying the tail beast since the time of Shodai Hokage-sama’s era of power. Until the Nidaime Hokage-sama came to power, the tail beast research project has always existed. But then I don’t know why, the project was suddenly called-off, all the research data was sealed, and the tail beast research project was completely suspended.”

Kuroto who heard this and thought in his heart: “The village really has studied the tail beast in the past!”

In fact, since he met Shinnō, Kuroto has been trying to figure out from which village did he possibly stole the technology to artificially create a zero-tailed tail beast.

Among the five great Shinobi Villages, the political situation of the Village Hidden in the Mist and Sand; has always been unstable, and their military strength is also not very high. Therefore, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that they simply do not have the ability to conduct in-depth research on the tail beasts, and this fact is clearly visible from their unstable Jiinchuriki. So, these two villages can be eliminated.

As for the Village hidden by the Rocks and Clouds, does focus on comprehensive research; but their focal point of research is the development of Earth Release and Thunder Release plus Taijutsu skills respectively.

Although Cloud Village has some understanding and research of Tailed Beasts because of Turtle Island and the inheritance left by the Clan of Ginkaku and Kinkaku that were distantly related to the Sage of the Six Path, this is clearly visible from the fact that Cloud Village has perfect Jinchuriki, but Kuroto doesn’t believe they have enough research resources and researchers that can conduct artificial Tail Beast research.

Therefore, Konoha is the only village, that had both resources and methods to conduct tail beast research, the presence of Shodaime Hokage-sama with his Wood release; alone made it possible to suppress the tailed beasts coupled with Nidaime Hokage-sama’s scientific interest and scientific psychology most likely made such comprehensive research quite possible.

Therefore, Konoha is the only village from which Shinnō could have obtained research results about the artificial tailed beasts

This is the reason why Kuroto believes Orochimaru is the most likely person to be able to give him some data on what he is looking for.

Converging his divergent thoughts, Kuroto asked promptly, “So what made the research to be suspended?”

Orochimaru replied, “Although I don’t know the specific reason, as much as I can guess, it was probably because of the unstable nature of the artificial tailed beast, I did check some information on this topic, and all the data states that the probability of the tailed beast running away is very-very high, there is no suitable method of sealing or suppression, and once the tailed beast runs away, it will be a total disaster, therefore Sandaime probably put a stop to this research!”

Kuroto once again put forward an idea, “What happens if we abandon the attack ability of the tailed beast and just use it as a Chakra ‘Battery’, wouldn’t that improve its stability?”

Orochimaru glanced at inquisitive Kuroto, and said in a guiding tone, “The accumulation of a large volume of chakra itself has quite the destructive power, and there is no such thing as abandoning the attack ability. I tried using similar assumptions that you’re thinking in my early years, but it didn’t work accordingly, therefore I reached a thesis, according to which ‘to improve the stability of the artificial there is most likely only one method and that is: using only one Chakra source to create the artificial tailed beast, additionally the source of chakra shouldn’t be too aggressive in nature.’”

Kuroto frowned upon hearing Orochimaru’s thesis, “Then according to this theory, in terms of single chakra source except for the tailed beasts themselves, close to nobody can act as a source of Chakra for supplying the artificial tailed beast.”

“Exactly, in the Ninja World, perhaps only Shodaime-sama can supply chakra to the artificial tailed beast with his own power. Anybody else, including Nidaime-sama, probably doesn’t have enough Chakra volume to meet the criteria.” After a short pause, Orochimaru continues, “Moreover, as I mentioned previously, the source of Chakra shouldn’t be aggressive or violent by nature, else the artificial tailed beast might run away, which again eliminate all the natural tailed beast, as their chakra is extremely violent by nature since there was no suitable source, so probably the research project was abandoned.”

Upon listening to Orochimaru’s thoughts on the matter, Kuroto tried thinking about everything from the memories of his previous life, hoping to find some answer to this seemingly unsolvable question.

He can vaguely think of several people, who have an extremely large amount of Chakra, but these people are all extremely strong standing at the pinnacle of the Ninja world, but no one of them would suitably work for Kuroto as a source of Chakra.

Excluding these useless people, Kuroto also thought of the two extremely mysterious places with extremely large energy sources.

First is the Ryumyaku [Dragon Vein] of the ancient city Roran in the Kingdom of Wind, and second is the Moryo sealed in the Land of Demons by the Witch of the Land of Demons…
