Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan Chapter 472– Mission

The strength of Orochimaru has been carved into the heart of every Konoha Shinobi, especially the ones who have personally seen his power. Even Hatake Kakashi, the best and strongest of their generation was frightened when facing Orochimaru.

In the cannon, Kakashi's first reaction in the face of Orochimaru was to do his best to be able to die together with Orochimaru, and later he realized just how absurd this thought of his was.

So, how can Kurenai, who is obviously not the best of their generation not be panicked in the presence of Orochimaru?

Kurenai's first thought is not to die together with Orochimaru because she knows that even if she does her best, she won't be able to die together with Orochimaru. So, her first thought is to figure out a way how to get out of here, or at least how to notify her Anbu captain and the village that Orochimaru has sneaked inside the Village.

After forcibly calming her tensed nerves, and taking a deep breath; Kurenai asked, “Wh… what is your purpose of sneaking inside the village?”

“Oh, I just need you to do something for me, it's not that big of a task.” Said Orochimaru as he observed every move of Kurenai.

“You want me to do something for you? But why me? In the first place, how did you sneak inside Konoha?” obviously Kurenai is trying to extract intelligence out of Orochimaru.

Orochimaru still as casual as ever said, “Did no one ever tell you that knowing too much is not a good thing?”

Kurenai snapped (just to delay time), “Even if you are one of the three legendary Sannin, you will pay the price if you continue to look down upon me!” as she started to print hand seals to use a Genjutsu in order to create a small opportunity that she would use to sneak out of her house

“Oh, is that the case?” Orochimaru smiled, not caring about Kurenai's attempt of using Genjutsu, and asked, “What kind of price will it be?”

'He is not afraid that someone will notice his presence in the village?' Kurenai was full of doubts upon seeing that Orochimaru doesn't seem to have any intention of making a move to stop her.

How tight the security of current Konoha is, Kurenai as an Anbu of the elite Team-Ro is very clear. Anbu shinobis are on full-time duty to make sure that the security of the village is high, and the members of the Konoha Military Police Force are also taking rounds around the village.

Moreover, several Kage level ninjas including Sandaime Hokage, Sannin Jiraiya, Sannin Tsunade, Uchiha Patriarch, and Uchiha Shisui are also present in the village.

So, no matter how strong Orochimaru may be, he will definitely suffer if he were to fight so many Kage-level Shinobi. Therefore, Kurenai was very surprised that Orochimaru, who specifically sneaked inside Konoha because he wants to use her for something, and yet he is in no rush to knock her out or stop her from using Genjutsu.

Just as Kurenai was about to complete the hand seals, she suddenly realized her mistake, “No!”

The only reason Orochimaru is not in a hurry to make a move is that he has already made a move long ago.

But by the time Kurenai reacted, her consciousness was already a little faded, and she staggered a few steps, fell on the ground, and said intermittently, “Poison… poisonous gas… you…”

Orochimaru smiled, he walked over, and after squatting in front of Kurenai who had lost all ability, he said, “This is a new poison I created, its specialty is that it's colorless, tasteless, and odorless so it cannot be detected by normal senses.

And the best part about this poison is that it does not take effect unless the target uses their chakra, and once a target uses their chakra, this poison would instantly plague their bodies making them useless unless, of course, an antidote is provided. So, it's very deadly against Shinobi. Now then Yuhi Kurenai, tell me, how do you feel?”

“You… won't… get… away… with…. This!” were her last words as she lost consciousness, being dealt with so easily by poison was the last thing she expected.

But the kind of poison Orochimaru used is a really dangerous one, if this poison enters the body of a shinobi, it basically renders them incapable of using chakra because using chakra would mean spreading the poison all over the body.

But not using Chakra would mean that they can not put up a fight against Orochimaru.

After Kurenai lost consciousness, Orochimaru who is immune to the poison stretched his hand to coil around Kurenai, picked her up, and muttered, “I suppose I should get going there.” After that Orochimaru cleared away the traces of his poison and disappeared from Kurenai's house.

Through the Murals at an abandoned site, Shisui, and Itachi, who had found some clues related to the pair of twin siblings and the wife, separated and started to search for further clues related to the three.

Solving the mystery behind the death of these three will probably lead them to the Sword of Totsuka and Yata Mirror, this is their conclusion.

Because Shisui and Itachi do not know the name of either of the three nor do the two know the year those three lived, so obviously all graves had to be dug to find clues related to the three.

Both Shisui and Itachi are from the Uchiha Clan, and because of their previous searches, both of them know the distribution of the Uchiha Clan's Cemeteries, coupled with their fast mobility, so in just a few days the two overturned several cemeteries.

Most of the graves were dug by the two, and even several old tombs were also unsealed, but they found nothing useful so there was still no new clue about the two spiritual weapons.

But Sword of Totsuka is important to the safety of the Village and the Uchiha Clan, so neither of the two have any intention of stopping and they continued their mission of robbing graves.

After unsealing another Tomb, Itachi walked inside the gloomy passage with a thoughtful look on his face.

Although, he has yet to see the coffin inside but based on the length of the passage, and several decorations and murals on the walls of the passage, Itachi can judge the identity of the person resting here must be extraordinary.

When he reached the end of the tomb, a Stone Stele greeted Itachi's eyes.

He looked at it and saw that this Stone Steele is quite familiar. It seemed that when Itachi was exploring a certain ruin, he had seen the exact similar Stone Tablet, except for an obvious protrusion at the center of the Stone Tablet.

After carefully studying the Stone Stele with his Mangekyou Sharingan, Itachi immediately reached out and pressed the protrusion at the center of the Stele.

As soon as he did so, a Stone Medallion was dropped from the protruding part of the Stone Stele, the size of the medallion was the same as that of the protrusion, and it had some complicated engravings that were white on one part and black on the other, kind of like the Yin-Yang symbol.

'Yin-Yang… black Susano'o, white Susano'o… is this medallion somehow related to the twin siblings?' was the thought in Itachi's mind as he also tried to remember the contents of the Stone Stele he had seen previously.

After picking up the circular stone medallion, Itachi looked at the grave, and upon opening the cover he found that nothing was inside, not even bones, meaning, 'This is a fake tomb.'

Itachi then studied the Stone Medallion with his Mangekyou Sharingan and soon discovered that this Stone Medallion is a map pointing towards a location. And the half-Black and half-White color of the stone medallion was also indicating that it might be related to the twins.

Understanding this, Itachi sent a Communication Crow to Shisui and informed him of a nearby location to meet up in order to explore the location on the map together to avoid any danger.

As soon as Shisui received the message, he rushed toward the location.

The current Shisui can be said to be the second-fastest shinobi in Konoha, and his speed is second only to Hyuga Kuroto, so it only took him about a few hours to reach the meeting point.

After meeting Itachi, Shisui also saw the Stone Medallion and he too agreed that this really might have something to do with the twins, but the fact that the location it was pointing towards had nothing to do with the Uchiha Clan was a bit confusing.

'Maybe the information about this place was kept hidden and not recorded in the Uchiha Clan archives.' After reaching this conclusion, the two rushed toward the location.

The place they arrived at was an abandoned Shrine in the middle of a dangerous forest, far away from any village or city with no signs of human or animal life around giving it a ghostly vibe.

But neither of the two was afraid and continued to move forward.

After searching around for a while, Itachi found a similar Stone Stele from which he took the stone medallion, but this one had a depression in it, and the size and shape of the depression were exactly the size and shape of the Stone Medallion.

Understanding what that depression was for, Itachi placed the Stone Medallion inside the depression, and soon both of them felt a wave of Chakra. After a while of silence, Shisui and Itachi both looked at each other with their Mangekyou Sharingan activated and Shisui asked, “Did you find that too Itachi?”

_{The latest_epi_sodes are on_the ʟɪɢʜᴛɴᴏᴠᴇʟᴡᴏʀʟᴅ.ᴄᴏᴍ website.}

Itachi nodded, “Yes, Shisui-san. This is most definitely a Genjutsu targeting the Uchiha Clansmen, and the level of this Genjutsu is very high, it is simply impossible to find the clues hidden within the Genjutsu without the help of the Mangekyou Sharingan as a guide or having an incredible mastery in Genjutsu.”

The moment Itachi placed the Stone Medallion inside the Stone Stele, the Fuinjutsu engraved on the Stone Stele activated and trapped both Shisui and Itachi inside a Genjutsu. But thankfully, both Shisui and Itachi are masters of Genjutsu and soon recovered their senses, and also got information about how to proceed further.

The moment they recovered; they observed the changes in the room. On one of the walls, some kind of nonreadable pattern appeared.

Walking towards the non-readable pattern, Itachi and Shisui, both printed hand seals, the moment the two completed the hand seals, the wall slid to the side and a passage appeared.

Without any hesitation, Itachi and Shisui walked into the passage and soon came to a tomb.

Inside the tomb, there was no coffin, which was strange but it didn't bother two too much, as there was something present inside, and noticed that it was just a giant Gourd-shaped stone sculpture that was giving off some kind of Chakra Waves.

Itachi said, “There are no more clues left, which can only mean that this Gourd-shaped stone sculpture has something to do with the Sword of Totsuka.”

Shisui nodded, “I think we should notify Kuroto-san, he understands Sword of Totsuka better than us, if this Gourd really has something to do with Sword of Totsuka, then maybe he will be able to take it.”

Itachi nodded and immediately sent a message to Kuroto using a Crow.

After sending the message to Kuroto, the two continued to search the tomb room except for the Gourd-shaped stone sculpture but found no more clues.

With a frown on his face, Itachi walked the Gourd-shaped stone sculpture and observed it carefully.

Shisui asked, “Is something the matter Itachi?”

“The pattern on this sculpture, it reminds me of-…” Said Itachi as he traced his hand on the carvings on the Sculpture.

Shisui on the side suddenly felt some kind of Chakra emanating from the Gourd and hurriedly said, “Itachi… distance yours-……”

However, Shisui's reminder came to a step too late. The moment Itachi traced his hand over the Gourd Sculpture, he was sucked inside the Gourd Sculpture.

“Itachi!” Shisui on the side panicked and hurried forward to catch Itachi before he is sucked in, but suddenly all the Stone tiles under his feet disappeared and Shisui fell into darkness.
