Before leaving Naka Temple, Kuroto gives some instructions to Itachi, urging Itachi to stay close to Shisui and protect him during the adaptation period, and at the same time warned Shisui to be very careful lately against enemy attacks.
After all, Obito, Danzo, and Orochimaru, were all threats that could not be underestimated.
Moreover, the three of them had the right motivation to face Uchiha Shisui, the strongest Uchiha Clan at the moment, because in order to face the Uchiha Clan one must first overcome the obstacles of Uchiha Shisui.
But since Shisui is not in the right condition right now, therefore, he cannot use his true combat power; that is why he must be protected.
Itachi clearly understood Kuroto's reason and made sure that he would protect Shisui, at the same time, he would carry out the other instructions given by Kuroto as well.
Satisfied, Kuroto bid farewell to Shisui and Itachi, then quietly walked back to his house.
On the way to his house, Kuroto naturally thought of the many changes that happened during the day; and to be honest, he was thinking about the many changes that happened during the day, Kuroto was quite happy that he did not become arrogant and overconfident after awakening the Tenseigan and did not reveal his combat power and true identity to the public, otherwise, he would be the center of attention of all enemies.
And if that was the case, Kuroto would have to be constantly worried and wary of all sorts of conspiracies, not only from Obito and the other enemies but also from the many people around him, after all, who knows when someone will start getting weird ideas, or maybe the person they care about the most is being held hostage leaving them with no choice but to fulfill the instructions of the kidnappers.
Judging from the method Obito used to conspire against his own Sense; he was definitely the type of man who had no basis in achieving his goal, naturally, Kuroto was no different, but that was not the point here. The point is, if Obito knew Kuroto's true identity and strength, Obito would get more chess pieces he could use to exploit Kuroto's weakness, but that wouldn't happen to Kuroto. After all, Obito was completely empty from the inside and someone who did not even care who he was, and since there was no one still alive who Obito seemed to care about anymore so there might be nothing stopping him from using even the dirtiest means to take advantage of, but Kuroto would not be able to do it.
Later on, Kuroto has no choice but to revive Nohara Rin and use her to deal with Obito, but bringing her back to life will be a very difficult task for Kuroto at the moment, she said, because if he currently brought it to life, then he would die as a result that would definitely not be of sufficient benefit.
Fortunately, Kuroto had become a level-headed person, and had only chosen to reveal himself to a lesser extent, and would not cause him too much trouble.
Now one could argue that if Kuroto really wanted to, she could have been hiding completely; not attracting the slightest bit of attention and it would have been much more profitable, but Kuroto did not think that way. In his opinion, being too flashy was also quite suspicious because at some point it would definitely attract attention, after all, there were only so many people who could actually hide, she said, and there were only so many people who could defend against just based on luck.
This is why, it is better to express some things, making others think that they are in control; making others believe that they know everything about him when in reality they do not know how deep his ability really is.
In this way others will believe that he is a rather difficult person to deal with, but at the same time, he will be, he is not very dangerous and can be thrown away at any time if they really want to do so, as a result, he said, they will focus on more important and more threatening things and people (namely Amatsukami) compared to the elite Captain of the Anbu Army alone.
Now given the fact that Amatsukami is very secretive and hidden too well, so Obito and the other Akatsuki must direct more of their attention and efforts to find and understand them in order to be able to deal with it. But since they won't be able to find it, they will also be afraid of Amatsukami. After all, the fear of the unknown is the greatest of all fears. And this unknown, Amatsukami, will also stop them from running rampant, and limit them unconsciously so that they will not dare to act rashly.
'I guess even now, all Akatsuki personnel are most likely increasing their individual strength or investigating Amatsukami's footsteps around the world right now.' Kuroto thought as her lips curved into a mocking grin.
Before finding Amatsukami who plays Akatsuki and the other villages in the palm of their hands, Akatsuki should not dare to deal with the Five Great Shinobi Villages, unless they are confident enough, he said, the lessons they learned in Amegakure should be more than enough to keep an eye on them, after all, even Nagato who had the Rinnegan and could summon Gedo Mazo, who was the one who had the ability to call out to him, and Nibi almost lost his life at the hands of the Amatsukami leader. So despite Akatsuki's reluctance; they must admit that Amatsukami can actually threaten their existence.
This was probably the only reason why they had been silent for so long and had not carried out their other plans, even Obito sneaked into Konoha and took back his eyes, but not caring about the Uchiha Clan that had yet to be destroyed., he also did not care about all the movements Konoha had made lately.
In Obito's eyes; the threat from the Uchiha Clan and Konoha was nothing compared to Amatsukami, but what he did not understand was that if he did not move in the Uchiha Clan and Konoha, he would not, he would never be able to find anything about Amatsukami, which would eventually form an endless circle.
…
The Konoha Wisma.
Kimimaro saw the night scene outside the window with many thoughts raging in his mind.
The events that happened throughout the day continued to flash through his mind, but the main part of all the flashes was the scene where Hyuga Kuroto dared to publicly insinuate Orochimaru-sama. An intense killing intent emerged in his heart whenever he thought of Hyuga Kuroto.
At this moment, a shadow emerged from the darkness and slipped into the room quietly.
"You who? Show yourself!" Kimimaro turned around quickly and said as a bone knife protruded from his hand; staring at the intruder with cold eyes.
The shadow did not panic under Kimimaro's cold gaze, but rather smiled and said, "As expected of Kimimaro."
“Kabuto?” Kimimaro recognized the tone, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Kabuto adjusted his glasses at the base of his nose, then said, “I've heard about everything that happened today. How does it feel to be able to defeat a genius child of the Uchiha Clan?”
“Jenius Clan Uchiha? He's not enough for me to bother caring!” since the victory against Uchiha Sasuke was too easy, Kimimaro did not feel any sense of accomplishment.
Kabuto grinned and said in a relaxed tone, "That's right, compared to the hateful Hyuga Kuroto who betrayed Orochimaru-sama, the genius child of the Uchiha Clan is really not worth mentioning, huh?"
As soon as Kimimaro heard Kabuto's words, his face turned grim.
Kimimaro could ignore the others who insulted him, but what he could not ignore was the insult to Orochimaru-sama, and Hyuga Kuroto not only dared to betray Orochimaru but even insinuated Orochimaru on his face, which really made Kimimaro angry, and determined to kill him. .
'That's right, Kabuto should know, huh?' Kimimaro's eyes sparkled, and after making up his mind, he asked Kabuto, "Kabuto, you should know where he lives, right?"
Kimimaro said coldly, "Tell me where he lives, and you don't have to care about other things."
With a slight hesitation, Kabuto drew a map on a piece of paper; then handed it to Kimimaro with a worried expression, “Be careful, if you feel you have no chance then do not force it.”
With an indifferent gaze, Kimimaro took the map from Kabuto, and without saying a word he disappeared from the room.
After Kimimaro left, Kabuto showed a strange smile.
Similar to Kimimaro who hates Hyuga Kuroto, even Kabuto hates Hyuga Kuroto, and he also wants to get rid of Hyuga Kuroto.
After Kimimaro left, a hoarse voice suddenly came from behind Kabuto, “Kabuto, I don't remember, I allowed you to do something like this.”
Kabuto turned around trembling; immediately kneeled respectfully on the ground, and said, “Oro.... Orochimaru-sama?!”
Orochimaru slowly walked out of the shadow and said, "Are you not going to give me an explanation?"
Sweat pours from Kabuto's forehead, and he gulps down deeply as he feels the heavy pressure he is under, “Oro... Orochimaru-sama, I. I just... I just want to clean up..
"Is that so?" Smiling, Orochimaru directed his gaze out the window, and said, "Alright then."
After realizing that Orochimaru had no intention to pursue the matter, Kabuto heaved a sigh of relief, at the same time, he also realized that if Orochimaru really opposed the idea, he would not, then he will stop Kimimaro before Kimimaro leaves.
Gazing at the night view of Konoha outside the window, Orochimaru said lightly. "It's okay for him to try it, but whether he succeeds or not is a completely different matter." At the same time, Orochimaru felt Anbu Shinobi's reaction to Kimimaro's movements and furrowed his brows upon realizing something.
'Seems like he's not willing to take any chances, huh?' his mind.
Originally, Orochimaru had completely different plans for the Alliance Ceremony. Orochimaru wanted to humiliate his Sensei, Sandaime Hokage in front of everyone by using Edo Tensei from Shodaime and Nidaime to kill him.
Whenever Orochimaru thought about Sarutobi Sensei being forced to fight to the death against the two Hokage earlier; who was also his Sensei and the scene where the three of them together destroyed the village after their battle, Orochimaru felt very excited.
For him, besides the pursuit of eternal life and the mastery of all Jutsu, destroying all that Sensei loves and cares for has been a pleasure for him.
But Orochimaru never expected that Konoha's defenses would be so tight, so much tighter than the spies initially reported. The presence of representatives of Sunagakure, Kusagakure, and Takigakure was something Orochimaru did not take into account. Not to mention there are also Jiraiya and Tsunade in the village. Later the Konoha Military Police Force led by Uchiha Fugaku as well, and finally the identity of one of the Anbu guarding it.
Although the fourth Anbu joined in to watch him not long ago, Orochimaru recognized him based on the recent intelligence he had just received from Shimura Danzo about an hour ago; The fourth Anbu with the mask of a Weasel watching him was none other than Uchiha Itachi of the Uchiha Clan.
'No wonder Uchiha Itachi respects Kuroto-kun, after all, he is a subordinate in Anbu Kuroto-Kun's army.' Orochimaru thought about what he had learned from Shimura Danzo's mouth in return for some things.
Facing so many high-level combat personnel, especially Uchiha Itachi even Orochimaru could only sigh and not dare to act rashly.
In addition, Orochimaru was also unsure about what combat power the two Edo Hokage could demonstrate; therefore, he decided not to make a move in Konoha, at least for now.
But of course, this did not mean that he would not test some things.
For example, what does Hyuga Kuroto want from Kimimaro? And Uchiha Itachi's attitude towards Konoha and Hyuga Kuroto. After all, the moment Kimimaro slipped out, he was clearly noticed by the four Anbu, but none of them stopped him, not even Uchiha Itachi, therefore, Orochimaru was more curious about many things.
…
Among the four Anbu.
Hana asked the Weasel, "Is it okay to ignore it?"
The ferret (Captain Clone) nodded, "The captain has asked me to follow him secretly, so his movements are still under my supervision."
The rabbit said, "But I want to know what the captain wants from him?"
Akame answered Rabbit's doubts, “It's to get intelligence information about Kaguya Takashi, Akatsuki's newest member, according to the intelligence that the Captain managed to obtain while he was in Kirigakure, Kaguya Takashi along with Hoshigaki Kisame, and Chinoike Mageta have also joined Akatsuki, and since this child, Kimimaro is one of the last two members of the Kaguya clan, therefore, Kimimaro is one of the last two members of the Kaguya clan, he is a source of intelligence that we can't just let go of.”
Hana nodded, "It makes sense I guess." Then without a care anymore, he continued the mission assigned to the four members of Team Ro by their captain.
