Returning the soul back to the main body proved much easier compared to what Kuroto had to go through before. There was an instinctive guide so there was no need to track directions, moreover, the return speed was also several times faster than before.
Before he knew it, Kuroto's soul had already returned into his main body.
Whoa…
Out of the tree hole, Kuroto stretched her body and felt a little refreshed.
Because the seal placed around the tree hole was not broken, so Kuroto was sure no person or animal would dare to approach the tree hole as long as his soul was not around. For that Kuroto was very happy, because he did not have to bother wasting time hunting some irrelevant people or animals that would later become the subject of his exam or would be fed to the Blind Okina.
At this moment, Okina Buta's nose twitched, and she immediately got up. Realizing that Kuroto had come out of the tree hole, she leaned over and tried to surround Kuroto.
But given its size, circling around shaking the entire forest, Kuroto smiled helplessly and jumped onto the back of this idiot boar, after patting the boar's head Kuroto said, "Yes, yes, this time I owe you a favor, I'll be sure to send you a gift!"
As soon as Kuroto said this, hot air came out from Okina Buta's muzzle, which showed that she was happy and excited for the treat.
Although Okina Buta has not been around Kuroto for a long time, Kuroto also does not often call for Blind help, however, whenever Kuroto calls Blind, she is useful in one way or another. There was also the fact that Blind seemed to have Kuroto in his mind as some sort of master or owner probably because Kuroto gave him a lot of poison when he was young, which might have been an act of kindness from someone's point of view.
After all, this wild boar was now useful because he was almost as big as Gamabunta, which made him a good summoning beast because he was already very strong, and he also had an instinctive understanding of Chakra, which made him a good summoning beast, probably because of the pure chakra circulating within his body. .
After convincing Okina Buta, Kuroto deactivates Call and sends Okina Buta back to her habitat.
Kuroto himself did not procrastinate anymore either and after spending a few more days in the Demon Country he decided to return to Konoha.
…
Two weeks later, Kuroto returned to the village.
The first thing he had to do was to have a meeting with Sandaime-sama regarding the situation of the Demon Country, but it seems that Sandaime-sama is very busy with the affairs of the village as well as some other political issues so that he can not avoid.the time to meet Kuroto in person, is very busy, therefore Kuroto handed over his report to Sandaime-sama and returned to his home.
Whenever Sandaime-sama has time, he will Call Kuroto.
Upon returning home, he is greeted with a view of Yui, Shion, and Taruho having lunch.
Seeing Kuroto's return, Yui hurriedly got up from her seat and greeted Kuroto, "Kuroto-kun you're finally back!"
Kuroto hugged him and rubbed Yui's back. There was a brief silence as the two remained in the same position, this was necessary to ease Yui's anxiety, but seeing Shion's expectant gaze, Kuroto separated from Yui and walked towards Shion.
He doesn't say much, he just untied my Ryuumyaku Pumpkin and gave it to Shion, telling him and Taruho to bring this up and they'll understand everything.
Miko-sama's remaining spirit body lives inside that Pumpkin, and it is difficult to predict how long she will stay in the Shinobi World, so Kuroto believes that rather than her explaining anything to Shion, it would be best for her mother, which is Miko-sama who does it herself. That would be the best option since Shion and Miko-sama would at least have a last chance to talk about something. And Miko-sama can also express the words she was initially reluctant to say.
Although Shion was a bit skeptical, having no confidence in Kuroto, she nodded and went to the room where she had been staying for the past few weeks.
After Shion and Taruho climb upstairs, Kuroto asks Yui to tell her everything that happened in the village when she was not around, "Please explain everything to me very carefully!"
Yui nodded and quickly explained, suddenly there was an emergency beacon lit up a few weeks ago that made everyone worried, as soon as the village entered a state of emergency and Hokage-sama ordered the villagers to go to the evacuation site.
Then when Yui, Shion, and Taruho go to the evacuation site, there is a cocky man named Shinno, he chases after Shino, though Yui fights him and even nearly kills him several times, however, he chases after her, he has a kind of regeneration.The technique that helps him always recover. Therefore, Yui was not sure what to do with her.
Then Kunoichi named Uchiha Tsukihi came and gave him the opportunity to retreat with Shion, and Taruho.
As for what happened later, Yui did not witness it, but she heard that Uchiha Tsukihi sacrificed herself to defeat that man named Shinno. Then everyone found out that he was a member of Akatsuki, and then more things happened, there was Hiruko fighting against Patriarch Uchiha and some other things also happened.
Overall, the situation was chaotic, and too many things were happening, many shinobi also died, so the next day the funeral ceremony was performed and their names were engraved on the memorial monument, especially Uchiha Tsukihi who sacrificed herself for the village.
Kuroto is not too surprised after hearing everything, which makes Yui frown, she has an instinctive feeling that even though Kuroto-Kun is not in the village she is somehow told about everything that happened. Unable to understand the possible cause, Yui decides to let go, since it doesn't really matter, as long as Kuroto-kun is fine then that's all that matters.
However, Kuroto's mind was slightly different, 'Yui's understanding of this situation is limited, I should ask Shisui for a better understanding of all the events!'
At this moment, Yui spoke, "By the way Kuroto-kun, that person Shinno also asked about you, I don't think he knows who I am, but it seems like he knows you."
Kuroto nodded and explained the events of the first mission he had done with Uchiha Itachi after surviving the cleaning operation.
When she heard the details, Yui nodded in understanding as she recalled the mission where Kuroto-kun met Jinchuriki Nibi Kumogakure and was then praised by Jiraiya-sama.
Then Kuroto had another discussion with Yui and then went to look for Shisui.
From Shisui Kuroto for more information. It turns out that all the Anbu who went looking for Uzumaki Naruto searched the entire village and its surroundings but did not find it, then when they returned to the village and thought Naruto was missing or might be kidnapped again. by someone from Akatsuki, they discover that at some point Naruto has returned to his home and is immersed in a deep sleep along with another child, who turns out to be Sasuke's Uchiha.
Seeing such a scene, everyone heaved a sigh of relief and asked the details of the temporary Eagle, who turned out to be Uzuki Yugao as she was assigned to cover Kuroto's absence in team-11.
Uzuki Yugao explained as requested, and finally, the matter was resolved.
Danzo is desperate to eliminate Uchiha Shisui for the crime of betraying the village, Hatake Kakashi and Might Guy on the other hand are also very stubborn. They did not even allow Shimura Danzo to touch Uchiha Shisui, so even though both played very well, but because both were outnumbered both suffered serious injuries.
It was at that moment that Elder Mitokado arrived along with the other Shinobi and saved the three team-11 members from Shimura Danzo.
The Uchiha Clan also knew of this incident and were furious that Shimura Danzo dared to take action against one of their elite Clans, Danzo also insisted and did not even bother to apologize, he used the excuse that Uchiha Shisui was the culprit who tried to assassinate the Hokage and tried to compromise with Jinchuriki Kyuubi.
However, this time, Sandaime rebuked him loudly and Danzo finally had to bite the bullet, and publicly apologized to Uchiha Shisui, he was also ordered to stay away from the Uchiha clan, he said, which everyone knew that he did not receive it well given his sour expression. .
But considering it was the Hokage's order, Danzo had no choice but to obey whatever he wanted.
At the same time, the Uchiha Clan was very grateful to the other 11-team members for protecting Uchiha Shisui, and Sandaime also praised the decision of captain Kakashi.
Kuroto could not help but smile, she did not worry too much about any of them because she knew that after all, they would be fine. Could Guy and Hatake Kakashi together be a force to be reckoned with.
After understanding the general situation, Kuroto was busy considering a few things.
At this time Shisui said, "Kuroto-san, as you would expect, Danzo-sama is really eyeing my Mangekyou Sharingan, I didn't expect him to choose to attack me even when Uzumaki Naruto's safety was at stake."
Kuroto nodded and said, "Luckily Kakashi and Guy understood Danzo's thoughts and acted at the right time."
Shisui nodded, "Luckily there is also a seal you put on my eyes, and Captain Kakashi and Guy-san acted at the right time, otherwise, Danzo-sama might have succeeded!"
…
At the same time, in the house of Uchiha Fugaku.
"Patriark, you have to tell us, who exactly is Uchiha Tsukihi? Is there really a secret unit inside the Konoha Military Police Force as the rumors say?"
"Yes, rumors are circulating that Uchiha Tsukihi is an elite member of the secret unit, and some even say that even Sandaime-sama is not aware of this unit, is there really such a secret unit?"
Seeing the excited expression of his clan members, Fugaku sighed.
After returning, Fugaku had researched all the clan records and he found nothing about Uchiha Tsukihi.
Even the description of Uchiha Tsukihi that he got from Hyuga Yui's testimony did not match up with any of the Kunoichi Uchiha Clans that had ever cultivated, so Fugaku himself was confused as to who exactly the Kunoichi was.
And for some reason, Fugaku feels that Kunoichi is not dead, maybe he is wrong, but maybe he is right. This was Fugaku's instinctive feeling but there were also some facts behind his reasoning.
But regardless, Fugaku did not plan to waste the opportunity the Uchiha Clan had due to his fight. Now everyone in the village knew that Uchiha Tsukihi was fighting and sacrificing herself for the safety of the village as the Yondaime Hokage had once done, so that people would be more accepting and trusting of the Uchiha Clan.
an Kunoichi who died while protecting his clan and village even though he never lived here. It was strange to think about it, but maybe he didn't think so. Maybe he wanted to leave something that all the members of his clan could be proud of. He idolized the Yondaime Hokage and it just so happened that he died the same death.
It may be a coincidence that he was in the village recently, perhaps because he knew of the coming attack, I am not sure how, only he knew about this, but anyway, he said, he died the death he wanted and we should be proud of him. She is a strong girl, a strong Kunoichi, and a true Uchiha. All Uchiha should try as hard as him!"
By the time, Fugaku was finished, everyone was shocked by what they heard, no one expected that Uchiha Tsukihi's life was so difficult, and everyone felt proud that she was an Uchiha, he said, a true Uchiha.
Looking at everyone's pride, Fugaku couldn't help but sigh helplessly, this was so unlike him, the nonsense never pleased him, but what could he do?
If it was necessary for the clan then he would do it, because that was the role of the Patriarch.
After a few more talks, Fugaku fired the clan member who was now being pushed because he had to consider many things. With this open attack from Akatsuki, many things in the village would start to change, and he would have to prepare himself and the Uchiha Clan for it.
Fugaku also has a feeling that the coming years will be more troublesome now. The wind of the Shinobi world had already begun to change, and the Uchiha Clan had to ride that wind to survive.
At this moment, Fugaku saw Itachi walking in the corridor.
Fugaku is not sure why, but he feels that since the events of Sasuke's kidnapping by Oto Yumie, who is another member of Akatsuki, Itachi's personality and temperament have changed drastically.
For a while, Fugaku wanted to connect this with the Mangekyou Sharingan that Itachi might have awakened, but given Itachi's past youth, Fugaku shook his head, saying, because Itachi was too young to be able to awaken something like the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Therefore Fugaku was a bit worried about Itachi. After all, Itachi was his successor, the heir to the Uchiha Clan.
Fugaku even considered the possibility of mental trauma or guilt that Itachi might have suffered, but he wasn't sure. At least, Itachi's emotions seemed stable, or rather too stable in fact.
Fugaku sighed, he had to trust his son, because he knew that his son would never let him down, he said, a person who had a scene of a battlefield burning in his mind at the age of four would never be traumatized by such a small event.
'Who am I kidding, maybe it's really because of that ...!'
