This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Somewhere else in the Forest of Death

Time turns back to 5 minutes ago, when Naruto hadn’t summoned Garaga, and Asuma as well as the other three had just appeared in front of Sasuke and the other kids.

Obito and Zetsu were confused by the appearance of the four people wearing the uniform of the Akatsuki Organization, they wanted to check out what was going on, and also kidnap Uzumaki Naruto by the way.

With such intentions, as they rushed towards the battlefield where the children were fighting someone, they suddenly saw something and came to an abrupt stop.

The reason for their abrupt halt was a person sitting on a tree branch. He was wearing the cloak of the Amatsukami Organization and had a mask on his face that seemed very familiar to Obito and Zetsu. Seeing this person, Obito couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, “Dojin?” and immediately activated his intangibility, he didn’t want to risk exposing himself to danger knowing full well that Dojin might have spread his explosives around himself.

Although he didn’t have such an effective means of protecting himself as Obito, however, he was also vigilant and submerged most of his body inside the ground.

Seeing Obito and Zetsu being so vigilant of him, Dojin said in a playful tone, “Well well… what do we have here? You are still alive, huh? It seems you didn’t die from the gift I left behind for you. I must say, you are like a cockroach, really hard to kill.”

“Humph, the likes of you can’t kill me… I am Uchiha Madara,” said Obito with a cold snort.

Although he showed a cold demeanor on the outside, Obito was very vigilant of Dojin, especially after the other party mentioned ‘gift’, Obito knew that the Dojin in front of him was the real deal, not some faker.

Hearing Obito mention the name ‘Uchiha Madara’, Dojin mocked, “Ah yes… there we have it… the self-proclamation of being Uchiha Madara… do you think I would be afraid of some wanna-be Uchiha Madara?” then stood up and said coldly, “What you and the people of your organization did to my village… I have to settle it today… After all, you people must understand that I… Deidara of Iwagakure… is not easy meat!”

Obito thought to himself, ‘So, Deidara is really…’ and prepared to fight Dojin. Of course, he knows that it won’t be easy, however, when it comes down to it, he is not afraid.

However, before either side took any action, suddenly, Zetsu shouted from the side, “Madara… look there!”

Obito looked in the direction pointed by Zetsu, and as soon as he did, his eyes widened, “Suijin, Homusubi, and Fujin… all… all three of you are in Konoha!”

As Obito said, one by one, the figures of Suijin, Homusubi, and Fujin appeared around him. The one at the forefront was none other than Suijin, he looked at Obito and said to his companion, “The three of you have had your turns, now it’s my turn… I want to verify if he is really a cockroach as the rest of you say… and if that’s indeed the case… then… Hahaha…” The last words were left unsaid.

…

Monitoring Room.

Everyone in the forest of death looked at the monitor with solemn expressions, they were really nervous at this moment.

The things happening on the side of children indeed require their attention but compared to the threat of the Akatsuki Organization, those are just some trivial matters.

Therefore, other than sending Shisui and Kakashi to that side, everyone else continued to monitor the screen, especially Jiraiya and Tsunade, both of them hoped that Kuroto would succeed in whatever he planned.

In the monitoring screen, they can see that Kuroto and his Shadow Clones have successfully intercepted the two members of Akatsuki, and the two sides appear to be engaged in some sort of conversation.

The only problem is that the people in the monitoring room have no way of listening to the conversation between the two sides as audio is not transmitted, and because both sides are wearing masks, therefore, lip-reading isn’t possible either. That’s why they can only see two people opposite each other with nervous expressions.

For a moment, Tsunade even felt that this was a mistake, and was angered with herself, “I should have stopped him, this is ridiculous!”

Tsunade still feels that Kuroto’s approach is way too rash, if the two members were to figure out that he is just a fake and only testing them while pretending to be a member of the Amatsukami Organization by wearing a disguise, not only he will die, but the village will suffer from another attack from the Akatsuki Organization, which is something neither she nor the village is ready for.

Jiraiya said with a sigh, “I know how you feel about this… but perhaps this is the only solution we have, right now. We are not in a position to fight the Akatsuki Organization, so we can only trust the kid, and hope that whatever his plan is… it actually works.”

Tsunade shook her head in anger, “How can such a method work? They are not fools… they have fought several battles with the Amatsukami, won’t they feel something off about this entire situation?” and added after a pause, “Kuroto… he is still a bit naïve… the chances of his approach working is very less… and I can’t see him die.”

Jiraiya stared at Tsunade and said with a serious expression, “Tsunade… that kid… he is not as simple as he appears to be, you know this in your heart as well as I do. And let’s not forget that he was Orochimaru’s disciple… if not in him, at least have some trust in Orochimaru’s judgment…”

Tsunade sighed, “I hope you are right, Jiraiya. Because that girl… she won’t be able to live if something were to happen to him.” and looked at Kuroto on the screen with a worried expression, and thought to herself, ‘Don’t do something foolish kid.’

Not far away from Tsunade, Yui stared at the monitoring screen with a nervous expression. Her heart was beating fast, and her palms were sweaty as she continued to mutter, “Kuroto-kun… please come back safely.”

Standing beside Yui, Izumi held Yui’s shoulder and said in a soft tone, “Yui-san… Kuroto-sama… will definitely succeed… you don’t need to worry, just have confidence in him!”

Yui murmured, “I know Izumi-chan… but that’s Akatsuki Organization…!”

Izumi held Yui’s hands, and lightly whispered, “It doesn’t matter… Itachi-kun once told me that the shinobi world is very fortunate that in such a chaotic era there are exceptional shinobi like Kuroto-sama. I have faith in Itachi-kun’s judgment, therefore, I have faith in Kuroto-sama… he will be fine.”

These are Izumi’s genuine thoughts. She has unconditional trust in her lover’s judgment. Therefore, even if she is nervous, she believes that Kuroto-sama will not fail.

Yui nodded, and silently prayed, ‘Kami-sama… please protect Kuroto-kun.’
