Due to Kuroto's identity as Anbu; he didn't even take half a day to investigate the details of Team-3 of the Enchantment Class and he made sure that there were no good perceptual ninjas on that team.
So, after a little consideration, Kuroto finally decided to make his laboratory at ‘Hutan Kematan’.
The place he ended up choosing was a secluded area around the node that was on the edge of the Deathly Forest and close to the place where no one had come.
And since this area is under the influence of the enchantment knot, so most of the Jutsu perceptions will be protected by this, making it difficult for anyone to know the location of his laboratory.
All of these points make this area one of the many blind spots in the village, but because the protected area is not too large, so it cannot be used as a strategic location, and because there are no important facilities in the vicinity, therefore no one cares about this place other than a few regular visits to keep the charm.
Once the problem of finding a suitable location was resolved, Kuroto did not delay any more and started the construction work.
According to Kuroto's plan, the laboratory will be built 20 m underground, so the entire construction process will involve considerable work.
Kuroto, his shadow clone, and Puppet Kazekage together for about 1 week to complete the basic structure of the laboratory.
The laboratory entrance is located inside a tree hole, under a large tree.
Then there is a special mechanism that Kuroto created in the tree cave which he thinks if someone other than him accidentally or intentionally touches the tree, there would be some explosions that would destroy the entrance of the cave, making it impossible for anyone to notice that there might be a laboratory under the tree.
Then Kuroto made sure to use many secret sealing techniques along the passageway under the tree hole.
If anyone tried to get inside the laboratory, the sealing technique would actively cause hundreds of explosions by explosive talismans hidden under the passageway, this would blow up the entire underground passageway.
After passing through the underground passageway, part of the main laboratory began.
Kazekage puppets would always be present here to guard against possible intruders, and if there would be any signs of a powerful enemy trying to enter, he would immediately gather all the important equipment or research items, and if there would be any signs of a powerful enemy trying to enter, and then destroyed the entire laboratory.
Even with all this work, the appearance at the entrance of the cave did not change from beginning to end. This was because Kuroto made sure to seal all the mud and gravel into storage scrolls and dispose of them in some remote forest or lake.
Even people familiar with this place would never be able to realize or know the slightest hint of the existence of the entire underground laboratory.
After finishing the basic structure and finishing some rooms, Kuroto moved some of the experimental instruments he had stolen from Root Base.
Large test benches, high-precision microscopes, cell incubators, nutrient tanks, cold storage devices, and many other instruments he robbed from Danzo became the first batch in his laboratory.
After completing the basic setup, Kuroto took out a notebook and started writing some requirements that still had to be met.
Looking at the long list in front of him, Kuroto sighed helplessly.
This laboratory was the next second and most important step for him to climb to the top of the shinobi world in the future. In its grand plan, at least 40% of the research and experiments will be conducted here, so there is still a requirement of at least 20 large instruments and hundreds of small instruments to start its research.
Looking at the laboratory setup in front of him, Kuroto had trouble finding a method to purchase or arrange these instruments.
‘The total amount needed to buy all these items will reach 3 Billion Ryo!’
Looking at such a high price, Kuroto couldn't help but think, ‘Is that why Orochimaru had to seek funding assistance from Danzo? Otherwise, buying such an instrument is almost impossible!’
Scientific research always spends a lot of money to produce useful results, there is no doubt about that.
And this is also the reason why Orochimaru is willing to cooperate with Shimura Danzo because Danzo clearly has access to large funds as one of the four elders of the Konoha Advisory Council.
It was obviously unrealistic for Kuroto to get 3 Billion Ryo in such a short amount of time, so he decided to just buy the instrument he needed the most to start his research.
Even after that was done the price still reached 1 Billion Ryo!
As long as he gathered around 1 Billion Ryo; the need to purchase a much-needed instrument would be completed, with this, at least his plan could finally begin.
But collecting 1 Billion Ryo was also not an easy task!
After much deliberation, Kuroto decides that being a ninja gift is the only possible way to earn a high reward in a short period of time.
After all, dealing with most of the targets would not be a big problem for Kuroto given her strength, and as long as she did not pursue the target with an extremely sensitive identity or background, either, making money would be very easy for him.
But the only problem is that Kuroto cannot use his identity, Hyuga Kuroto cannot act as a bounty hunter, therefore he needs a new identity.
After all, the Dark Market also had its own set of rules, and unexplained ones were generally unacceptable in the Dark Market, too, hence Kuroto needed a good disguise that would allow him to adapt to the rules of the Dark Market.
And only by gaining a certain reputation; along with winning the trust of the employer, he would succeed in taking a high beneficial commission.
After a little consideration, Kuroto took out a black robe and mask.
These robes and masks were specially designed by him during his studies of Fuinjutsu. His original purpose was only to conceal his identity when acting in secret, but now Kuroto plans to use this as his disguise to act as a bounty hunter.
His robe was Black Midnight with a golden line on it, which was actually an intricate sealing technique that Kuroto carved on it with a Golden Thread. The robe is able to isolate the wearer from most Sensory-type techniques and is highly capable of protecting the X-Ray Byakugan's vision.
The mask is also black with a slight white on it, symbolizing the Yin-Chakra element of the Yin-Yang symbol. The mask is also carved with the Fuinjutsu complex from the inner side which again prevents ninja censorship or Byakugan Perception.
As soon as he put on the Cloak and Mask, Kuroto's entire temperament changed.
He is no longer Hyuga Kuroto but is an incarnation of a certain God of Death.
“Now I have a disguise, I also need an alias, how about ‘In’? Or maybe ‘Yama’?” – muttered Kuroto while pursing his lips, because the name ‘Yama’ sounds pretty good…
…
At the same time, in a cave in the Land of Grass.
The figures of Masked Man and Zetsu appeared outside the Cave.
Looking at the dark cave in front of him, the masked man asked curiously, “Is he inside?”
Zetsu nodded, “Ya, it looks like it is recuperating.”
Giving a nod to Zetsu whose lower body was still submerged on the ground, the masked man casually walked into the cave.
Uchiha Shinichi who was recuperating inside the cave, immediately stood up while carrying his sword.
The masked man noticed Shinichi's actions and said lightly, “No need to be too vigilant, this is just me!”
The moment Shinichi realized that it was a masked man, his anger instantly flared up, and shouted loudly while lunging towards the masked man with his sword, “Basic bastard! You have the guts to appear before me! ”
