Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan Chapter 37

“If you think you can do it; why don't you try?”

Facing the Rock Village's elite Beheading Corp's squad leader, Kuroto wasn't afraid at all. He took a step forward; releasing his unmasked Killing intent for the other party.

Kuroto is more than clear why the other party is trying to provoke Konoha's Shinobi team.

Undoubtedly the impact because of the unexpected death of Yondaime Hokage and second-generation Kyuubi's Jinchuriki has yet to fade away. The Sand village and Mist village are not being so proactive against Konoha because of their weaker military power for whatever reasons but the Cloud Village and the Rock Village aren't the same. There are definitely signs of them trying to make small movements here and there.

This is one of the reasons why Konoha Shinobi can't afford to shrink back or appear weaker here because these kinds of provocations won't decrease if one party shrinks away; rather the more one party shrinks the more another party will intensify!

Feeling Kuroto's unmasked killing intent the captain of the Beheading unit squinted his eyes and put his hands on the short sword at his waist. For some reason, he felt that this not so young brat wasn't bluffing.

On Kuroto's side, Kakashi, Guy, and Shisui immediately got into a fighting stance, and the members of the Rock Beheading unit on the opposite also became alert for any possible attack.

An intense stare-off was taking place with both parties looking for an opportunity to make an effective attack.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse by the second the High Priestess sitting on the Futon stood up with the intentions to persuade and resolve this matter peacefully, “Ninjsan, I ask you all to please let go of your prejudices, for the time being, the Demon from the foreign world is breaking through the weakening seal as we speak, and the Stone army will soon be able to get past the barrier protecting this temple, I ask that you all work together to solve this upcoming calamity!”

Listening to Priestess' request both sides finally didn't continue with provocations anymore, they also know that infighting isn't a wise choice given the current situation since the monster is continuously approaching here, so each side took a step back to maintain a temporary peace.

Pakura who had been watching the two sides going at each other; finally asked the witch: “High priestess, could you please elaborate on the current situation??”

The witch nodded, “The enemy we have to face is a Demon from a foreign world; named 'Moryo'. His objective is to destroy the shinobi world and create 'Sennen Okoku' [Thousand Year Kingdom] to rule over it, long ago a clan of Shinobi had borrowed his Ghost Army to help him achieve this goal. However, he was stopped and sealed away by my ancestor. However, the seal isn't permanent and it has been broken by the descendant of that very shinobi clan, freeing the soul of the Demon.

The barrier enchantment I placed around the Temple can hold both the Demon and his Ghost army to pass-through however it cannot hold off against the cultist following him. This is why Moryo will definitely order his cultists to attack here in order to kill me, who can reseal him. If I were to die before resealing him, the whole Shinobi world will be destroyed by him.”

After understanding the gravity of the situation; everyone's faces were gloomy.

Although nobody here has faced the Demon Moryo but having dealt with his Ghost army gives them some understanding of what kind of power he might possess, and if it exactly as the Priestess described then letting him run amok in the Shinobi world would put the whole world in danger.

After the Priestess finished with the explanation Kakashi asked straightforwardly, “Miko-sama, you mentioned that you have a method of resealing the Demon?”

While stroking her daughter's hair, she replied, “Yes, that's right! The Priestess of each generation has the responsibility to keep the Demon sealed away, but the location where the seal is placed is in the Land of Swamps.”

It is obviously good news that the Demon can be resealed but the location is troublesome.

Pakura asked while pondering over all the details, “Then how are we going to lead the monster to the objective location?”

Hearing Pakura's question the Priestess smiled sadly, “Don't worry, everyone, I am the biggest threat to that monster. As long as I personally go there, he will definitely follow.”

As soon as Priestess revealed this detail, Kakashi took out a map and spread it directly on the ground.

Although the Land of Swamp is adjacent to the Land of Demons, the distance between the target location and the current location is still well over several hundred miles, the planning of the route has to be done carefully as the Priestess isn't a shinobi and paths are quite steep and mountainous.

After some more thinking Pakura said, “The Ghost Army isn't really troublesome, with their slow speed we don't have to be worried about them catching up to us as long as we break through their encirclement.”

The captain of the Rock team also nodded in agreement, “And in that case, the enemies we have to particularly careful against is the Demon himself and the cultists' Shinobi.”

The shinobi following the Moryo's command was originally just a group of weak ninjas with their leader Yomi only at the level of a Jonin.

But now they have been blessed by Moryo; they have an almost inexhaustible supply of evil Chakra from the Demon, with this they can unscrupulously perform ninjutsu, and even use several large-scale combined attacks making them much more dangerous.

Considering that the situation might get out of hands if their team were to be chased while traveling to the sealing mountain, Pakura said with a hint of blood lust in her tone, “Instead of being besieged by the cultists and the stone army on our way to the sealing mountain, it's better to use this enchantment that can block the intrusion of Ghost army to solve the cultists, and then escort the Priestess to the sealing mountain in the Land of Swamps.”

The captain of the Rock unit agreed, “We think so too.”

Kakashi also nodded with Pakura's proposal, “We have no objections.”

Following the unified opinions of Konoha, Sand, and Rock shinobi, they all mobilized in the temple immediately and prepared for the upcoming battle.

Because of the Byakugan and mastery over Revolving Heaven, giving him both sensor abilities and high defensive techniques, Kuroto was responsible to personally guard the Priestess and her daughter.

Unlike most of the Shinobi that were highly worried, Kuroto wasn't very concerned about the situation, so his thoughts were more focused on the artificial tailed beast plan.

As Kuroto has gained more knowledge and data about his Tenseigan in the past few months; he has come to understand that the biggest obstacle stopping him from being able to use other abilities of the Tenseigan is his lack of Chakra Volume. Therefore, only by increasing his Chakra supply can Kuroto utilize other abilities of the Tenseigan.

And this problem isn't very difficult to judge considering the case with Nagato and his Rinnegan.

Madara transplanted the Rinnegan to Nagato while he was very young but he awakened the Rinnegan only after the emotional stimulus because of his parent's death but it should be noted that he still couldn't use all its abilities, it was only when he had grown up did, he start using other abilities of the Rinnegan after another emotional stimulation due to Yahiko's death, but that still sucked away most of the vitality within him, making him the dried-up skinny person he appeared in the story.

One thing to not forget is that Nagato is from the Uzumaki Clan whom Madara selected carefully to revive him, the Uzumaki's are well known for their especially high Chakra Volume and tenacious vitality, and such a person was so overwhelmed under the effects of the semi-awakened 'eyes of God'.

So Kuroto suspects that the Tenseigan didn't yet awaken all the abilities is because it's probably protecting him as the current him can obviously not support the fully awakened Tenseigan.

This is the reason why Kuroto seeks the artificial tailed beast more relentlessly. He most definitely needs a 'battery' that continuously provide him with chakra energy, only then can he continue his research on the Tensigan with confidence, because he doesn't want to become like the skinny Nagato; as the gains wouldn't be worth it…
