Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan Chapter 81

The essence of Truth-Seeking Balls is the condensation of high-density Chakra into the form of black orbs.

Truth-Seeking Balls encompass the power of all five basic natures as well as yin – yang chakra nature. As such it surpasses any single chakra nature, Kekkai Genkai, as well as Kekkai Tota.

Being able to condense Truth-Seeking Balls is more of a qualitative awakening.

For this reason, a thought suddenly flashed in Kuroto's mind.

'What if I use Truth-Seeking Balls to break through the Seal applied by Yondaime-Sama to seal the Dragon Vein?'

But after a little consideration, Kuroto gave up the idea.

Fuinjutsu is one of the most mysterious and powerful branches of Jutsu, and it can be both weird and unpredictable at times.

There is close to nothing that can't be sealed using Fuinjutsu, whether those big monsters or tailed beasts or the 'Impure World Reincarnations' which are in a half-life and half-death state and the illusionary things like the soul of a person!

Even the Chakra Ancestor 'Otsutsuki Kaguya' isn't immune to Fuinjutsu!

So, what might happen to the seal or the Dragon Vein Chakra setup once it comes into contact with the Truth-Seeking Ball is sort of unpredictable.

Moreover, currently, Kuroto can only summon one Orb, and if he uses this to break through the seal, all his chakra would be empty.

Once the seal breaks and all his chakra empties, Kuroto can only watch the huge Chakra of Dragon vein rush out uncontrollably.

And by then even if he had mastered all the techniques necessary for the artificial tailed beast plan, he wouldn't be able to do anything because of the lack of Chakra.

It would be impossible for him to suppress the Dragon Vein's overflowing Chakra.

Not to mention, if he doesn't successfully steal away the Dragon Vein Chakra in the least amount of time possible, its signature reaction will be picked up by the other ninja villages.

Especially the Sand Shinobi Village that's closest to the Roran!

In this series of events, Kuroto will become a helpless little fish.

And that too when there wouldn't be a time accident because of Dragon Vein, who's to say that it wouldn't send him to a different timeline?

So, using Truth-Seeking Ball will be a big NO-NO!

He can only increase his Fuinjutsu proficiency to break through the seal used by Yondaime-Sama.

While Kuroto reached this conclusion, he suddenly sensed a ninja rushing towards his direction in the forest of Death.

As soon as he sensed this Kuroto released the 'Tenseigan Chakra Mode' and deactivated the Tenseigan.

After a while of waiting, a ninja dressed in an Anbu uniform appeared on a tree branch before Kuroto, and said, “Hokage-Sama has summoned you!”

Kuroto nodded at the Anbu's news and followed him out of the death forest all the way to the Hokage Building.

As soon as he entered the main room of the Hokage Office, he discovered that Sandaime-Sama has summoned all the members of Anbu Team-11; since Kakashi, Guy, and Shisui were already there even before him.

With Kuroto's arrival, Sandaime-Sama put down the tobacco pipe on the side and glanced at the four people of Team-11 with a sharp eye, as he asked, “Did your Team-11 conceal any details about the secret mission in the report handed over?”

Kakashi's expression shrank as soon as he heard Hokage-Sama's words.

His mind was only thinking that Hokage-Sama was most likely referring to the matter of him awakening the Mangekyou, with a feeling of guilt he felt quite nervous and traces of sweat beads started coming off his forehead.

Guy also lowered his head directly, not daring to meet the eye of Hokage-Sama in fear that his expression might reveal something, he also thought that Hokage-Sama was referring to Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan.

The four members of Team-11 have already reached an agreement to not reveal the existence of Kakashi's Mangekyou.

This is because no one can predict what sort of reaction the Uchiha or the Konoha Council might have upon learning that a non-Uchiha awakened Mangekyou, so everyone and that's including Shisui, decided to conceal it. Lest the Uchiha Clan might end up doing something extreme that could intensify the already brewing conflict within the Village after getting such shocking news.

Kuroto was calmer and only brought out a confused look as if the matter was completely unrelated to him.

Shisui was feeling a little awkward but he was calm nonetheless.

The reason for Kuroto and Shisui's calmness was naturally because they knew that Hokage-Sama was most likely referring to those more than three hundred Cloud ninjas that Kuroto wiped out!

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the four totally silent people, without saying any word, so after shaking his head a little he directly brought out the papers describing the details about this incident that Shimura Danzo passed him, and threw it towards the four people, and said solemnly, “Look at it yourself!”

When Kakashi and Guy read the details of the information, they were taken aback, and immediately looked towards Kuroto and Shisui with clear surprise on their faces.

By the end of the battle, Kuroto and Shisui were the only two people that stayed behind to secure Guy and Kakashi's retreat, so this information must be somehow related to either of them, but neither of them mentioned having killed more than three hundred ninjas in the details when they talked about the battle later.

Now that both Kakashi and Guy are learning of things like 'The entire Valley being razed to a flat ground!', 'Hundreds of Ninja buried six feet under the mud and rocks' the shock on their faces can be clearly imagined.

Their reaction also prompted Sarutobi to turn towards the Hyuga and the Uchiha kid.

Kuroto was still calmly flipping through the pages; with an expression that said, 'Don't look at me, it has nothing to do with me!'

Sandaime-Sama was still silent, Kakashi didn't know what to say.

At this time Shisui took a step forward and said, “Hokage-Sama, it was me. To not reveal the existence of having awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, I didn't mention it in the mission report!”

Without waiting for anyone to speak, Shisui continued, “Kuroto-San was unconscious when all that happened, Captain Kakashi was in Coma and Guy-San was severely injured by the time I retreated while carrying unconscious Kuroto-San so the rest of the Team-11 didn't know of this.”

Listening to Shisui's explanation Sandaime-Sama nodded.

From Sarutobi Hiruzen's perspective and based on the details of the report he has, if anyone in Team-11 might have the strength to slaughter hundreds of ninjas including several elite Jonin in an overnight, then it can only be Uchiha Shisui who has awakened the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan.

As for Hatake Kakashi, Might Guy, or Hyuga Kuroto?

All three of them are strong and talented for their age, and no doubt they might even be able to do such things in the possible near future, but at this stage, they don't have enough strength to achieve feats that require Kage-Class combat power.

“Since Cat has come forward to clarify this fact, and the matter was indeed a little hard to express, so it will be overlooked this time but make sure to not conceal anything related to the mission details from the next time, is that clear?”

“Yes!” All the four nodded.

“Well moving past that, Team-11 did great this time, the news of your achievements can't be made public because of your identities as the Anbu ninja, but the Council has consensus on rewarding the four of you. An opportunity to learn advanced Jutsu Don't be hasty in making the decision right away, take your time, and come back any time after consideration!”

“Thank you for your kindness Hokage-Sama!” All four responded and left the Hokage Office one-after-another.

After walking out of the Hokage Building, Guy hurriedly asked, “Shisui, did you really kill hundreds of Cloud ninjas alone!?”

Shisui awkwardly glanced at Kuroto from the corner of his eyes while nodded towards Guy.

“Ah… yes Guy-San!”

Without waiting for Guy to continue Kakashi whispered, “Thank you, Shisui!”

Kakashi was also shocked by the information of Shisui awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, but this made him more grateful towards Shisui for keeping his Mangekyou a secret, and he sort of understands why Shisui didn't reveal about that incident.

Shisui humbly shook his head, “It's for the peace of both the Uchiha and Konoha.”

Obviously, Shisui is also a little unacceptable of Kakashi awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, even if his pride has been crushed, it is still a little difficult to accept a non-Uchiha awakening the legendary eyes. This is exactly why he understands the possible impact that it could cause once the news of Kakashi's Mangekyou leaks out.

If the Uchiha Clan learns of this news, it is hard to imagine what they might end up doing.

After some more chats, Guy and Kakashi left for training, while Kuroto and Shisui walked towards a secluded place.

Glancing thoughtfully behind him, Kuroto whispered, “Thanks Shisui!”

Shisui sighed lightly, “well… whatever, I don't care anymore……”
