“Hiruko too! You must have been joking..!” – After seeing this name, Kuroto's expression became very serious.
After all, in Kuroto's grand plan, Hiruko [one of Konoha's runaway ninjas] has an irreplaceable role, therefore, Kuroto has been inquiring about his whereabouts for a while now.
The only problem is that Hiruko's trail is very mysterious, so even though she uses Anbu Konoha's intelligence network, she still can't find any clues related to Hiruko.
And Kuroto never expected that Akatsuki would be interested in Hiruko, as well as finding her whereabouts first, now this has exceeded Kuroto's expectations.
“Huh, I did not expect that a brief encounter with Obito at Root Base would cause such a huge change in the plot, the power of fate was also quite mysterious, it seemed like escaping from its clutches would not be that easy, as well, after all, who can speculate it!”
As chaos theory says, changes in the world are caused by small or small things, the flapping of a butterfly can create storms on the other side of the world… and Kuroto had just started to witness these things in person.
The actions that Akatsuki had taken at this time had been accidentally initiated by her, Kuroto could truly sense that the victim of everything in this world was impermanent.
But now that such a change had occurred, Kuroto could not waste time crying over the spilled milk, the next best thing to do was to decide on the next course of action with this knowledge.
Both Hiruko and Orochimaru are from the same generation, and it's not strange if the two have a secret cooperation that no one knows about, and even if it doesn't, it doesn't change anything. However, the fact that Akatsuki hired Orochimaru and Sasori to find Hiruko, they should have two intentions behind this move: to:
First it is clear that Obito wants to verify if Hiruko is the mysterious person he met at Root Base.
The second is that, in both cases, Pain or Obito wants to recruit Hiruko into Akatsuki.
And this is more troublesome!
‘It should be too late to stop this now! – with one hand on his chin, Kuroto kept thinking.
There was no superior or subordinate relationship in Akatsuki, between any team, therefore, Orochimaru and Sasori had no particular reason to reveal any information about their duties to Shinichi.
And Shinichi also had no reasonable reason to ask Orochimaru that much detail, therefore, Kuroto was unable to stop Akatsuki from making contact with Hiruko.
“What impact will it have on my project if Hiruko joins Akatsuki?”
All Kuroto needed from Hiruko was her Jutsu, so even if she joined Akatsuki, as long as Kuroto could master the technique, she would not care about it.
After all, even if Hiruko were to join Akatsuki, all that would happen was that she would become one of their members. So, Kuroto wasn't too worried about him.
With that thought, Kuroto released the greedy cat and quietly returned to the Village.
…
As soon as Kuroto returned to Konoha, Kuroto went straight to her laboratory without caring about anything else.
The devices he bought in the first batch were chosen very carefully by him, and those were some of the most needed for the start of his current plan, therefore, now that he had them, it was only after he had them, Kuroto at least has the option to start his plan. .
But before he did, he still needed to see his teacher Orochimaru once.
After all, in the field of Bio-Engineering, Genetics, and other related departments, Orochimaru can be considered an undeniable master, and even though Kuroto has awakened the Tenseigan by activating all of his gene sequences, he can be considered an undisputed master, this does not mean that he can rival Orochimaru in this field.
Therefore, Orochimaru's resources and research are indispensable if Kuroto wants to start his big project.
Kuroto also needs to confirm Hiruko's situation through Orochimaru, which Kuroto is actually worried about is not that Hiruko will join Akatsuki, but that Hiruko will refuse to join Akatsuki, and as a result, will not be able to, he will be eliminated by them.
If Hiruko dies mysteriously, there will be a lot of twists and turns in Kuroto's plan, and this could be a problem.
Through the One-Eyed Viper, Kuroto sent a scroll containing a request to meet Orochimaru as soon as possible.
And not long after, the One-Eyed Viper reappeared before Kuroto.
Taking a roll from Viper's stomach, Kuroto immediately unfolded it and muttered, “So, Voice Country, yes.!”.
There was no information whatsoever on the scroll other than a few sentences, stating that Orochimaru would meet him at a secret headquarters in the land of Suara formerly known as the Land of Sawah, about two weeks later from now.
Since then it was decided, Kuroto burned the scroll and after adjusting his lab to the latest equipment, he, he returns home and lives a simple Anbu life over the next two weeks which mostly involves some task completion within the Fire Nation territory.
…
Right now, Kuroto was leisurely walking in the forest in the Land of Voices territory, dressed like a simple traveler with a simple white Kimono, black hakama, and a black jacket on it, her brown hair was braided on the side, giving Kuroto a plain look, which was expected of a teenager.
Whooshing sound…
As Kuroto was walking, a Kunai suddenly shot at his steps, prompting him to stop.
Stop, Kuroto did not take his hand out of his pocket and just said, “I'm here to see Orochimaru-Sama!”
With Kuroto's sentence, a figure appeared before Kuroto and after taking a deeper look at her appearance, she respectfully declared, “Please follow me!”
Looking at the other party's face, Kuroto was greatly shocked because the person who appeared before him was none other than the sole survivor of Orochimaru's ruthless experiment, ‘Yamato’ who managed to awaken the Wood Element after adapting to Hashirama Cell!
Why did Orochimaru defect first?
Why did Orochimaru and Danzo suddenly get into a fight?
Why did Danzo try to eliminate all Orochimaru people on a large scale, even at the expense of much of the village's labor?
This doubt had plagued Kuroto for a long time, and the moment he saw Yamato in front of him, the picture became very clear, it might not be the right reason, either, but that was the best explanation Kuroto could hope for at this stage.
Yamato, the only person who managed to join the Hashirama Cell, was most likely the axis of everything, and the fight between Orochimaru and Danzo most likely occurred because of him, which prompted Orochimaru to defect.
The young Yamato looked at Kuroto in confusion and asked, “What's wrong with you? Why don't you move?”
Shaking her head slightly, Kuroto suppressed the shock on her face and started walking.
Secretly following after Yamato, Kuroto thought to himself, ‘In the main story, Orochimaru thinks that Yamato failed, therefore, he was picked up by Danzo, who is the only one who has ever seen him, but suddenly Orochimaru did not ignore Yamato this time!’
As the sole survivor of the Hashirama Cell transplant project, Yamato has tremendous research value.
Therefore, it was not difficult to understand that when Orochimaru and Danzo, both of them discovered that Yamato was awakening the Wood Element, a conflict occurred between the two sides.
As a result in front of Kuroto, Orochimaru managed to get Yamato, but was forced to defect from the Village.
Following Yamato, Kuroto came all the way to the entrance of the underground cave.
Stopping at the entrance, Yamato turned towards Kuroto and said lightly, “There will be some snakes along the way but don't worry, they won't attack you as long as you follow me!”
Kuroto nodded with a smile.
This reminded him of the time when Kuroto was doing the work Yamato was currently doing.
Shaking his head, he continued to follow behind Yamato and passed through the dark and damp underground passageway and entered Orochimaru's secret headquarters.
Passing through several corridors under Yamato's lead, he finally arrived in front of a secret room.
At this point, Yamato stepped aside and said, “Orochimaru-Sama is inside, you can go and see for yourself!”
Looking around at his current location, he nodded towards Yamato and stepped inside.
Kuroto finds ten traps, five seals, and more than twenty ninjas hiding in the darkness along the way, such a strict arrangement is definitely not good hospitality.
Undoubtedly, Orochimaru was planning something for him.
However, in Kuroto's view as well, this was more or less understandable.
If a subordinate suddenly wanted to rise through the ranks to become an equal collaborator, it was inevitable that he would have to pass some unexpected and unwanted tests, he said, not to mention we are talking about Orochimaru here, so such a sight is definitely unavoidable.
Turning the handle of the door, Kuroto calmed down and walked in with a calm expression…
