After sending off Hizashi, Dojin didn’t wander off either and quietly returned to Ancor Vantian.

On her way, she tried to estimate Toneri’s current strength.

Since she was fighting only a puppet, accurately estimating Toneri’s true strength is quite difficult. Although Toneri’s strength, speed, and other factors can not be determined at this stage, Dojin can at least conclude that Toneri seriously lacks any combat experience, and his understanding of the shinobi world is also limited.

Of course, this is a major weakness that anyone with good experience can take advantage of, but this is still not the biggest problem as he can gain enough experience with time. Toneri’s biggest flaw is his arrogance.

Toneri tends to think that the people of the shinobi world are inferior creatures compared to him, believing that no one will be able to match him, and this habit of his will come to bite him in the back sooner or later.

Even in the cannon, Toneri only emptied Naruto’s chakra and spared his life without giving it a thought, believing that he was invincible and Naruto wouldn’t be able to defeat him, however, he was defeated by none other than Naruto.

Dojin was able to feel the arrogance carved into Toneri’s bones and realized that it would be impossible for her to communicate with him.

“But I suppose I can’t blame the boy… the ones who raised him are at fault, perhaps in the future, I will have the opportunity…” muttered Dojin with a thoughtful expression.

Ancor Vantian

As soon as Dojin returned to the flying fortress, Karin and Gaara came to meet Kuroto in the laboratory.

Due to frequent entry and exit in Ancor Vantian, and relatively similar behavior and habits, the two children have vaguely understood a few things. They seem to have realized that all these people in the different bodies is none other than Kuroto.

Since the two children were already aware of the existence of clones, Kuroto didn’t bother to transfer his soul back to his main body, he met the two of them and asked, “What happened? Is something bothering the two of you?”

Karin shook her head, “Nothing is bothering me… I just wanted to show you this Kuroto-sama.” Then she opened her eyes, revealing three black tomoe spinning in both of her eyes.

Kuroto was surprised, and a smile appeared on his face, “Your physique is really wonderful… The visual prowess of this pair of Sharingan is also restored in such a short time.”

“Hehehe… thank you.” Karin smiled.

Kuroto patted her head, and asked, “So, what do you think of this pair of eyes?”

Karin immediately answered, “These eyes are much better than the previous ones. They are less uncomfortable.”

“I see… as expected.” Nodded Kuroto with a smile, he wasn’t surprised. Unlike the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan obtained from Danzo, this one is pure and isn’t affected by the greedy nature of Chimera Buds, so it’s quite obvious that it is more peaceful and more comfortable.

As Kuroto was thinking about these things, suddenly, Karin looked at him, and said, “Kuroto-sama, about that thing… Since you asked me to give it a thought, I did it, and I have decided.”

Kuroto looked at Karin, and noting her determined expression, he asked, “All right, so what’s your decision?”

Before Karin could answer, Gaara interrupted, “Kuroto-sama, Karin-chan… she… she is not good enough. She is weak, it’s not safe to leave such a responsibility on her, so please let me carry out that task. I will make sure that I handle the task of your resurrection properly!”

Kuroto blinked his eyes and looked at Gaara in surprise.

He was wondering why Gaara came to see him this time but didn’t expect this to be the reason.

Hearing Gaara’s words, Karin was offended, and said angrily, “Gaara-kun, who are you calling not good enough? You are the one who is not good enough… I shouldn’t have asked about this from you, humph!”

Although Kuroto told her to think about it deeply before making a decision, however, how can a child think about it deeply on her own? She had to consult someone, right?

But the problem is, other than Kuroto, and Kaasa, Gaara is her only option. So, she mentioned this to him, believing that perhaps he would be able to help her reach a decision.

The two discussed it for a while and reached the conclusion that Kuroto must be brought back to life no matter the cost, this is the least they could do for him considering what he has been doing for them.

This line of thought helped Karin finalize her decision, and that’s what she wanted to tell Kuroto, but she didn’t expect that Gaara would treat her as not good enough and want to take the responsibility of resurrecting Kuroto.

Gaara avoided Karin’s gaze, and said, “What I said is true… you are weaker than me… if someone should shoulder the responsibility of resurrecting Kuroto-sama, then it should be me, I am stronger… and you… you would just make trouble for him… so just stay quiet, and let me do it!”

“Gaara-kun… I am warning you! Don’t you dare look down on me!” shouted Karin in anger.

“So what? What are you going to do? You know you can’t defeat me!” said Gaara, not paying much attention to Karin.

“You… you… you!”

Seeing the two children bickering, Kuroto shook his head with a smile.

It’s quite obvious that Gaara is not looking down on Karin, he is actually trying to protect her. As far as the two understand, resurrecting Kuroto would require the sacrifice of Karin, and Gaara doesn’t want that.

Therefore, he wants to take the task on his shoulders, believing that he will be the one sacrificed, not Karin.

His intentions are pure, but it’s a pity that it won’t work.

After seeing through Gaara’s intentions, Kuroto shook his head, “First of all, stop arguing.”

The two children stopped immediately and looked at Kuroto.

Kuroto nodded, and looked at Gaara, “I am really happy that you want to carry out this task, however, you are not suitable for this.”

“But… Kuroto-sama… I am stronger than Karin-chan… I know I can do it!” Gaara tried to reason.

Kuroto shook his head, “No, that won’t work.” And explained, “You may be stronger than her, however, strength is not the factor here, the descent is. To resurrect me, you would have to bear the Rinnegan, which is not something that anyone can do. In order to be able to bear the Rinnegan, you need to be a true descendant of Rikudo Sennin, and only the people of the Uchiha Clan, Senju Clan, and Uzumaki Clan are the true descendants of Rikudo Sennin, which Karin is and you are not. There’s just no way around it.”

Of course, this doesn’t mean that the ones who aren’t the true descendants of Rikudo Sennin won’t be able to bear the Rinnegan, it’s just that the probability of such a thing happening is very low, and Kuroto won’t take chances.

Hearing Kuroto’s explanation, Karin snorted, “Humph, so you still want to do it? You would only mess up things!”

Gaara looked away in disappointment.

Kuroto patted Gaara’s head, and said, “You don’t have to worry too much. Karin’s physique is extraordinary, if it is someone else, they will definitely die when resurrecting me, however, this might not happen in the case of Karin. There is a strong possibility that she might survive.”

Not only Gaara, but even Karin was surprised, and asked, “Really?”

Kuroto nodded, “Yes.” If appropriate measures are taken, then might survive, this is Kuroto’s calculation.

Hearing Kuroto’s response, Karin showed a brighter smile, and Gaara also breathed a sigh of relief.

Both children have unconditional trust in Kuroto. If Kuroto says that Karin might survive, then she will. They don’t need any explanation.
