...'Kimimaro should be one of the last two survivors of the Kaguya Clan.' Kuroto thought while focusing his gaze on Kimimaro....
...Due to the information given by Yagura to her, Kuroto knows more details about Kaguya Takashi, so she finds out that Takashi is a shinobi from the Kaguya Clan....
...But even if that was the case, Kuroto still preferred Kimimaro to extract the cells of the Kaguya Clan, after all, Kimimaro was extremely talented and almost invincible....
...In the canon, there are not many accounts of Kimimaro's battle, ruling out dubious battles in which he helped Orochimaru in the Yondaime Kazekage assassination, his mere statements about him making him an extremely powerful character....
...As a child, Kimimaro continued to be imprisoned because the Patriarch of the Kaguya Clan feared him, when released to Kirigakure he was able to continue killing the Kirigakure shinobi and still managed to survive while the rest of his clan except Takashi was exterminated....
...Trained personally by Orochimaru; kimimaro's power is increasing rapidly....
...Then he becomes the leader of the Four Demons, and it is stated that he defeated the four Devils alone, the same four demons that defeated the Konoha Special Mission Platoon; as long as the Konoha Special Mission Platoon may be tired of their mission, but even so, their strength cannot be booed....
...Not to mention, Kimimaro was in a state of severe pain, a state in which he could move himself was considered miraculous, in the same state; he had not only obliterated over 300 Clones of Shadow Enhanced Kyuubi Chakra Naruto, but even against the weak Rock Lee and Ichibi's Jinchuriki; Gaara, and in fact, he not only fought them but nearly killed them both before dying of his deadly illness....
...He may have the advantage of being older and more experienced than the three but that advantage can be ruled out given his terminally ill condition in which he is only a step away from death....
...And the next part comes in the Fourth Great Shinobi War, where he even without using his Curse Mark is able to match the Shadows Clone of Naruto's Kyuubi Chakra Mode and still remain invincible; even the Iron Country Samurai could not do anything to him....
...Not to mention, he may and still be Orochimaru's first choice as Vessel after Uchiha Itachi....
...So overall it is not wrong to assume that the most talented Kimimaro is like Itachi; the same kind of talent if allowed to flourish would lay all; so, so, no wonder Kishimoto sensei decided to put the bud at the tip of the pen before it could bloom into a flower....
...“Good choice indeed.” muttered Kuroto....
...At this moment, perhaps it was because Kuroto did not try to be unscrupulous while observing Kimimaro; the boy saw someone watching him, he raised his face to look towards the observer, he said, and his expression instantly turned cold....
...At the same time, Orochimaru in disguise also followed Kimimaro's gaze and looked towards Kuroto; saw Kuroto wearing Jonin's vest; the corner of Orochimaru's lips trembled; revealing a smile that was not really a smile....
...Kuroto did not bother to comfort Orochimaru but paid attention to Kimimaro's appearance; he muttered, "Indeed very sharp."...
...Kuroto may not be careful, but this does not mean that he is explicitly, so the fact that Kimimaro is paying attention to him himself speaks volumes about him....
...But contrary to Kuroto's attitude towards the disguised Orochimaru; his subordinates' reactions were completely different....
...Kurenai subconsciously grabbed Kunai in her shinob bag, she did not know the specific reason, but her instincts yelled at her to be very careful with that Otogakure-nin....
...Kuroto immediately put his hand on Kurenai's shoulder and stopped him halfway through, and said, “Otogakure will be Konoha's ally so we can't move on him. Take a deep breath and calm your nerves, please, for now; he is not an enemy, at least, I hope he is not an enemy.”...
...As instructed by Kuroto, Kurenai took a deep breath and released the Kunai she almost pulled, "I'm fine, thank you."...
...Kuroto nodded and looked back at Orochimaru, at the same time, Hayate asked; "Captain Shinobi of Otogakure is very strong; probably stronger than Elite Jonin's level; we'd better keep an eye on him.”...
...Kuroto nods, “Yugao; tell Inoichi-san about him; also have Shikaku-san instruct someone to watch over him; the observer need not be hostile towards him; also have Shikaku-san instruct someone to watch over him; the observer need not be hostile towards him; stay close to make him understand that he is being watched, to keep his actions limited.”...
..."Yes, captain." Yugao nodded and gave Kuroto's instructions to Yamanaka Inoichi....
...Right now, Kurenai said, “That grey-haired boy; he also doesn't look ordinary, especially his cold expression towards us.”...
...Kuroto smiles and says nothing, as Kuroto understands that Kimimaro is someone who is very loyal to Orochimaru, and values Orochimaru's interests above all else; even himself....
...It didn't take long to follow Kuroto's instructions and the village sent someone to not only watch over him but also act as a guide for Otogakure's shinobi....
...Coincidentally, the one who came was none other than Mitarashi Anko; and Kuroto could only sigh upon seeing her, 'Of course, it must be Anko.'...
...After a brief greeting to Otogakure's team, Anko led them towards the Hokage Building....
...Of course, Anko was not a bad choice, she was probably chosen for the task while remembering that she could keep an eye on them; at the same time not making them feel uncomfortable due to her carefree attitude....
...Clearly, as time went on, Anko slowly came out of Orochimaru's shadow, and lately the girl has become almost like herself in Canon; loud, stubborn, and inclined to act thoughtlessly....
...While leading Otogakure's team, he even boasted about Konoha's power to the undercover Orochimaru; in an attempt to give them a good understanding of 'who's the boss here.'...
...But everything he talked about was completely useless as the person listening to him was none other than Orochimaru who had a mocking expression as he was deeply interested in Anko's bragging....
...At this moment, Kimimaro also stopped staring at Kuroto and it seemed like he had achieved some sort of determination....
...This fact was very similar to the Uchiha Clan, as all members of the Uchiha Clan had the Fire Chakra as their main Chakra Traits....
...This fact also showed that the Kaguya Clan; was very similar to the Uchiha Clan; not only was the Shinobi Clan extremely powerful; it also had a stable bloodline....
...'If the Kaguya Clan is really a descendant of Hamura, then using Kimimaro's genes to make the Wind Clone is a very appropriate choice....
...And if Kuroto created the Wind Clone using Kimimaro cells, then that means; his main body has Hamura eyes, and the Wind Clone has Hamura's body....
...In addition, the Flame Clone had the Uchiha Clone gene, which was equivalent to having a Sage eye; and then the Yang Clones that he would create in the future would definitely be chosen from the descendants of Uzumaki or the descendants of Senju; so the Yang Clones would have the bodies of Sage....
...In this way, when these four clones were combined together using the Jutsu Chimera; they would gather the bodies and eyes of Hamura and Hagoromo, and when thinking of such a thing, they would gather the bodies and eyes of Hamura and Hagoromo, Kuroto couldn't help but wonder, “If this is achieved in the last fusion, doesn't that mean I'll be the closest? with Otsutsuki Kaguya in terms of bloodline?”...
..."What are you muttering Kuroto-san?" Kurenai asked from the side....
...However, Kuroto was too busy to listen to Kurenai's question and did not answer....
...…...
...At a secret training field in Konoha....
...“Haah..haah..” Kakashi gasps while wiping the sweat on his forehead....
...“I wonder how long it has been since I trained in earnest.” Kakashi murmured as he recalled last month where he had been training almost without sleep, without caring for food or rest....
...When he was young; due to his talent and desire to prove certain things, Kakashi graduated earlier from the Academy without much effort, then as time went on, he was able to do so, he soon became the chunin of genin and later became Jonin at the age of 11 or 12, even successfully developing Class-A Lightning Ninjutsu: Chidori....
...Kakashi's talent has always been superior to the same generation; even the four noble Clones cannot be compared to him, Sarutobi Asuma, Hyuga Kuroto, and Uchiha Obito are no exception....
...However, after experiencing several tragedies one after the other including the suicide of his father Sakumo, the sacrifice of his friend Obito, the death of his other friend Rin in his own hands; then finally the deaths of Sensei Minato and Kushina whom Kakashi was supposed to protect according to the mission given to him, Kakashi loses all motivation he once had and becomes increasingly dark and gloomy....
...The friendship of Guy, Kuroto, and Shisui did help him in recent years but he is still far from overcoming it....
...But even so, her dark and decadent is still the best; at least until a while ago, Kakashi gradually realizes that whether Guy, Kuroto, or Shisui, the three seem to have surpassed her....
...Kakashi also becomes strong but all three are stronger than him, but he never feels any urgency, even if he knows that Akatsuki and Amatsukami's target is Naruto Uzumaki; he has no sense of urgency; his Sensei son whom he had to protect because Kakashi never really believed that these two organizations would be able to defeat the entire Konoha....
...Well, that was until the War of Summit....
...His entire perception of power and power was shattered in Amegakure....
...After witnessing the level of strength of the leaders of both organizations; Kakashi realizes how wrong he is, and how insignificant and powerless he is, at the same time, he understands that in his way, he, he will never be able to protect the village and Naruto, and then his long-lost desire to grow ever stronger is burning in his heart, he is determined to work harder than ever, this was why when given an offer by Sandaime to join the Special Tactical Team, Kakashi did not refuse and immediately accepted it....
...Looking at the broken tree in front of him, then in his hand, Kakashi muttered, "I still have to learn too much to match Minato sensei."...
...Kakashi sighed and stuffed Kunai into his shinob bag, "If I'm not mistaken then today should be the Alliance Ceremony, let's see if I can find anything interesting there." Kakashi muttered while stretching his tired body and left the training field....
...He would go home, take a bath, then take a walk in the village for a bit, at least that was his plan, but for some reason that Kakashi himself did not understand, he was on the outskirts of Konoha; rather in Konoha Cemetery, "Why did I come here?" kakashi muttered in surprise, as he looked at the bouquet of flowers in his hand that he had unwittingly bought at the Yamanaka flower shop, but Kakashi did not care much and continued....
...Kakashi spends much of his free time either at Konoha Cemetery or at Memorial Stone, and he often stays here all day to tell Obito, and Rin everything....
...Sighing a little, Kakashi slowly walked in front of Rin's tombstone and usually prepared to clean up the growing weeds, which were, burning incense and adding some flowers and talking about his life but when he arrived here, he found that his tombstone had already been cleaned and even a bouquet of fresh flowers; similar to his, he had, what Rin really liked was also present here....
...Kakashi looks around but sees no one around him, he wonders, "Who came to visit Rin, not to mention they even know about Rin's preference in terms of flowers?"...
...Kakashi's question is a valid one, as Rin is an orphan like her, making it difficult to imagine anyone other than her coming to visit Rin, at the same time realizing her fondness....
...“Maybe it was just a coincidence, and maybe other people remembered Rin as well. I think I should try to find out who that guy is.” Kakashi muttered as he also lit incense and placed flowers on Rin's tombstone, then proceeded to tell her everything that had happened in the village and shinobi world over the past few months, along with the things he has done all this time, and at the same time apologize for not being able to come more often....
...While Kakashi is busy talking to Rin; he does not notice the figure of a masked individual circling around sitting on a tree trunk and secretly watching him from a distant forest....
