Chapter 669 The Next Steps

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

As soon as Kuroto returned to the village, he sensed the tense atmosphere of the village.

The security of the outer wall was much stricter than a few days ago, in fact, the number of guards had almost doubled as compared to what Kuroto remembers, and not only that, even a few perception barriers that aren’t easily deployed were also activated. This tight security also caused problems for Kuroto as it took quite a lot of effort on his part to sneak inside the village without alerting any barrier.

Of course, he was able to pass through without any trouble and made his way toward the Konoha Ninja Academy.

After entering the principal office, Kuroto deactivated the Shadow Clone he left behind and hurriedly sorted out all the memories that were experienced by the Shadow Clone.

With that done, Kuroto smiled slightly, walked towards the window of the principal office, and muttered while looking towards the Hokage building, ‘Surprisingly, the village’s response wasn’t slow either…’

According to the memories of the Shadow Clone, not long ago, Sandaime Hokage gathered hundreds of shinobi present inside the Konoha Village and hurriedly led them outside the village.

Obviously, the location where Sandaime is headed is the Volcano where Danzo’s Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual took place, Kuroto is so sure about this because other than that, it doesn’t make any sense for Sandaime to hurriedly rush out of the village with such a large force, given that the Akatsuki Organization has not made any move recently, and nor does any other Village has any taken any aggressive action Konoha in the recent times.

Kuroto muttered with a thoughtful expression, “Well, this is no surprise… The chakra transmission array used over fifteen hundred Konoha Shinobi, obviously, Sandaime would be able to track them one way or another…”

Despite the measures Danzo took to cover up the transfer of Konoha Shinobi outside the village, his secret maneuvers were discovered by Sandaime, which means that it is impossible to bypass everyone’s eyes, as long as people are involved it is impossible to achieve complete secrecy.

This has further strengthened Kuroto’s determination to carry out his Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual alone, only then, will his ritual not be discovered or tracked by anyone and ensure total safety and non-interruption.

Thinking so, Kuroto held his chin and muttered with a thoughtful expression, “I should put learning Yin-seal and Eight Inner Gates to the agenda…”

Kuroto has thought of learning Eight Inner Gates even before, not only will this be beneficial to him in terms of chakra level while the gates are open, but learning Eight Inner Gates will also increase his physical strength which will help him overcome the only problem he has been facing in perfectly mastering Senjutsu.

Therefore, it’s time for Kuroto to delve into learning the Eight Inner Gates Technique.

Kuroto knows that the Eight Inner Gates Jutsu is different compared to all the other forbidden Jutsu out there, unlike others, mastering this Jutsu requires regular training… Only daily training, grinding, and constantly breaking through their limits allow the user to be able to make progress in the Eight Inner Gates Formation.

According to Kuroto’s estimation, the first six gates are pretty useless to Kuroto. Even now, with his pure physical strength, Kuroto can compete with Guy while he has opened six of eight gates, therefore, what’s Kuroto’s target is to breach the seventh and more importantly, the eighth gate before the ritual.

But Kuroto also knows that opening the seventh and eighth gates will be an incredibly hard process for him.

I mean, just look at Might Guy, he has been training himself for the past 15 years, and even then, he has only opened the seventh gate; the eighth gate is still far too head, this goes to show how much effort and training is required to open the eighth gate…

This is why Kuroto needs to immediately start his training, because if he doesn’t, then it is very likely that all of his Chakra clones will be created, but he won’t be able to open all the eight gates.

Creating the Yin-seal is just as important for him as the Eight Inner Gate Technique, so the sooner he starts working on it, the better for him as he will be able to start accumulating chakra.

The chakra reserves of current Kuroto are far higher compared to Tsunade-hime, therefore, his efficiency in collecting chakra will be much better than hers, and he will be able to collect large volumes of chakra in a very short period of time.

Kuroto isn’t sure how much Chakra he will be able to gather, but it should amount to at least something!

“Danzo, Yin-Seal, Eight Inner Gate Formation, and of course, the Earth Chakra Nature Clone… all of these are important matters that I have to work upon…” muttered Kuroto.

Among the four tasks before him, he can learn the Eight Inner Gates Formation from Guy.

Might Guy is a good friend, so, there won’t be any problem with it, Kuroto knows that as long as he approaches Guy with the intention of wanting to learn it, Guy will definitely teach him.

And the other two matters are also not that problematic, cultivating the earth Chakra Nature Clone is going to take some time, so that’s not urgent, as for dealing with Danzo, it is also not of immediate concern as it’s going to take some time and planning.

But the matter of learning Yin-seal is a bit troublesome, or should it be said that rather than learning Yin-seal, obtaining it is a more troublesome task.

As Kuroto was wondering how to get his hands on Yin-seal, he suddenly thought of a method, “Perhaps I can ask Yui to help me… She is Tsunade-hime’s disciple, there is a good chance that Tsunade-sama won’t deny her request…”

Thinking of this, Kuroto planned to go to Konoha Hospital and ask for her help, but just as he was about to jump out of the window, Shisui hurriedly rushed into his office, and said, “Kuroto-san, Danzo-sama… he… he defected!!!”
