'Are you finally going to move to Kirigakure?' - Zetsu thought with a strange smile.
While Uchiha Madara was still alive, he secretly began to put ropes into Kirigakure, as many of Kirigakure's high-ranking shinobi became puppets in Madara's hands without them noticing.
This is also the reason why Uchiha Madara was able to kidnap Nohara Rin under the guise of Kirigakure's deeds, seal Sanbi inside her, and also stamp her with the Sign of the Curse of the Forbidden Individual, it leaves him with no other choice but to commit suicide at Kakashi's hands to keep Kirigakure's plan from coming to fruition.
Aside from all the planning hidden behind Nohara Rin's 'death', there are two reasons why Madara chose Kirigakure to be controlled from the shadows.
The first reason was their war potential. Kirigakure's overall strength was second only to Konoha because all Shinobi clans with strong Kekkei Genkai lived in the Water Country, which included, the Yuki Clan with the Ice Element, were, Kaguya Clan with Corpse Bone Veins, Terumi Clan with Lava Element and Heat Element, Hoshigake Clan, Karatachi Clan, Hozuki Clan, and so on.
The second reason is Kirigakure's location. The Water Country is located on the edge of the land, with the only mode of transportation to the continent being by sea, so the flow of information outside is very limited.
And Madara's control of Kirigakure was also one of the many reasons for Kirigakure's instability and internal conflict.
Madara's death and Karatachi Yagura's rise to Yondaime Mizukage's position gradually began to change Kirigakure for the better, the policy advocated by the new Mizukage had already begun to calm the internal strife in the Land of Water and there were signs that Kirigakure would soon rise.
So if Yondaime Mizukage was allowed to continue his rule over Kirigakure, then all the efforts that Uchiha Madara made to control Kirigakure from the shadows would mean nothing, therefore Zetsu also wanted the masked man to return to control Kirigakure.
"The guards who followed Mizukage were two elite Anbu!" - said Zetsu.
The masked man thought a little and said, “Then, we will target Mizukage, tell Nagato and Konan to meet me in the Land of Water, and there we will ambush Mizukage, effectively controlling the entire Kirigakure from the shadows. ”
Karatachi Yagura was indeed strong, with his own strength he had managed to reach a level of consensus with Sanbi sealed within him, thus his strength was clearly beyond reproach.
Although the masked man was confident that he could easily handle Mizukage very easily due to his Mangekyou Sharingan and Wood Element, having Pain and Konan would only make it easier to control Mizukage.
Zetsu said as he sank into the ground, "Alright, I will tell Nagato and Konan to meet you in the Motherland within about two weeks from today."
The masked man also disappeared into the spiral vortex, following closely the would-be Mizukage puppet.
…
A week later, Hyuga Kuroto's house.
Poofs…
With a puff of white smoke, a tiger-streaked orange cat appeared before Kuroto.
As soon as the cat appeared before he asked for Thousand Ryo as usual and after Kuroto gave the thousand Ryo money, the cat gave a scroll to Kuroto and went into a wisp of white smoke.
Kuroto unrolled the scroll and read the information inside, and muttered, “At the end of next month, there will be a celestial phenomenon that will cause the Aurora light to occur, which will cause the Aurora to glow, and Hiruko plans to use the opportunity to finish her ceremony?"
Kuroto deduces this based on the information Shinichi sent her.
“Currently the second week of the month, which means the ritual will take place about six weeks from now?”
When Kuroto thought of the fact that six weeks from now Hiruko would perform a ritual to absorb the five Kekkei Genkai, the sense of urgency in Kuroto's mind increased.
This was because he wanted to go to the scene and personally observe the entire ceremony in detail.
But the problem is that the entire Akatsuki will also be present because Pain has arranged for the Akatsuki members to help collect the Kekkei Genkai therefore it is clear that they will ensure his safety during the ritual process, so it was clear that Kuroto could not be present there so openly.
"How should I sneak there?" – as Kuroto was thinking about this matter, he suddenly got an idea.
…
A month later.
Perhaps it was due to the fact that Kuroto already had the experience of cultivating clones that he did not face any active problems.
However, there are some passive problems, one of which is the Chakra Nature of the Clone's body, because of the Shisui genes present in the clone, the chakra properties of this clone's body are Fire, Lightning, and Yin.
The Fire Element and Yin Element are obviously the main Chakra Properties, while the Lightning Element is the secondary Chakra trait.
And as far as Kuroto was concerned, there seemed to be no Kekkei Genkai in the shinobi world that was a fusion between the Fire Element and Lightning Element.
The only thing that even came close to the possibility of being a fusion of the Fire Element and the Lightning release was the Fire Element belonging to Uchiha Sasuke, who was a member of the Fire Element, but Kuroto knew that the Fire Element developed by Uchiha Sasuke was Amaterasu formed into various forms under the control of Kagutsuchi Sasuke.
As such, there was actually no Kekkei Genkai with Fire and Lightning as his Basic Chakranya Traits.
Therefore, if Kuroto wanted to achieve her goal of cultivating this female clone according to the standards used in the ritual, then Kuroto would have to develop a new Kekkei Genkai that had never appeared in the Shinobi World before.
It was definitely not an easy task, but he had no choice but to do it.
After completing one day of training, Kuroto came to his laboratory.
Seeing Uchiha Ryota on the exam bench, his eyes became even colder.
At this time the two pairs of eyeballs in each eye socket have begun to return to their normal shape, but it is still far from fused completely because there are still two pupils clearly visible in each eye socket, this shows that the two pairs of eyes have not yet fully fused to integrate successfully.
And this is where the problem lies, it has been almost two months since the fusion process began, but it is still far from finished, and this makes Kuroto very upset.
Considering her plan, Kuroto decided that she couldn't take it anymore and said coldly, “Stop pretending to be unconscious Uchiha Ryota, I haven't injected any drugs into you for the past month, I haven't injected you yet, and the fact that you are already aware has been seen from my eyes.”
A few days ago, Kuroto decided to stop injecting drugs into Ryota's body so that the speed of the fusion of the two partners increased, and it was clear that Ryota's consciousness was recovering due to the Mangekyou Sharingan's Eternal Incorporation.
At first, Kuroto did not care about it because, there was no threat from Ryota anymore, her entire body was sealed from the inside and outside so she could not even blink her eyes without warning Kuroto. And since there is a need for a trigger with his will to guide the fusion of two Mangekyou Pairs, then Kuroto chooses to keep quiet and let Ryota do the job that ‘should’ he did!
After all, that was all that was useful to him.
However Ryota who was detained, tortured, and almost killed by Kuroto has not taken lessons, let alone hastening the fusion of two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, he even tried to deliberately slow down the already slow smelting process, which had only raised Kuroto's dilemma, greatly troubled him!
Exposed by Kuroto, Ryota grinned weakly and flapped his lips talking something but no sound came out. Although Ryota cannot control his muscles perfectly to grin or speak, Kuroto notices that it is a mocking grin and also understands what he is trying to say due to his practice in lip-reading.
“True, I can't hide from you, but what's with your voice…? Why....why do you sound like a woman?”
Kuroto did not bother answering Ryota's question about why her voice sounded like a woman, and instead asked, “Why are you trying to prevent the merger of two Mangekyou Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?”
Ryota again flapped his lips, “Why? Because it's fun! Disturbing is fun! Without my desire to be the trigger for the smelting process of two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, you will never get the fully integrated Mangekyou Eternal Sharingan!”
Kuroto frowned, “Don't waste your wasted efforts, first and foremost, both partners will integrate regardless of what effort you try! All your efforts are in vain to stop the process and it will only slow it down and nothing more, so your efforts are ultimately useless.
And you seem to be confused about some things, you're not the only Uchiha, there's Hideki in one of my other secret labs, then there's Shisui, moreover, there's Shisui, your attempt to disturb me will only add to your suffering before your inevitable death, do you really want to suffer more? ”
But it seems Ryota doesn't care. "You can try whatever you want, but as long as these eyeballs are in my eye sockets, I will do everything to stop their integration!"
Kuroto was silent for a while and then asked curiously, “Since you chose to communicate with me, it means you still have something you want from me, right? Come tell me, what do you want?”
When asked by Kuroto Ryota suddenly fell silent and finally spoke, “I want the last fight with you to use all the power that a Uchiha has, namely with the power of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!”
