Kimimaro asked with a sigh, "Alright, what do you want?"
Kuroto chuckles at the fact that Kimimaro has finally given up, and asks: "Information, I want information about the Kaguya Clan and a shinobi named Kaguya Takashi who just joined the Akatsuki Organization." As said before, Kuroto didn't really want any information about Kaguya Takashi, but in order to cover her true purpose, she had to ask this.
Kimimaro frowned but understood that the question made sense. And given the fact that Akatsuki was an enemy of Orochimaru-sama as well, so he complied and kept answering. Although, the information he provided was not very useful since Kimimaro himself did not know much about the Kaguya Clan or Kaguya Takashi, either, so all the information he gave was based on his fight against Kaguya Takashi from a few days ago.
Kuroto still paid a lot of attention to Kimimaro, as there was a different possibility that Kimimaro as a member of the Kaguya Clan might know something that Kuroto or Yondaime Mizukage did not know about the Kaguya Clan.
At the same time, a voice rang out in Kuroto's mind, "Kuroto-sama, the effect of Genjutsu is perfect, am I allowed to kill him?"
'Oh right? Did I mention that all these discussions of mine took place in Genjutsu? If not, then I guess now is the time to say it.' Thought Kuroto after she heard the voice, then she also focused her attention on the real world.
…
Real world
In the real world, Kimimaro stood motionless with a puzzled expression. Kimimaro has yet to realize that the moment he steps inside Kuroto's house, he has been under Genjutsu.
Kuroto looked at Kimimaro, who was completely vulnerable at the moment, Kuroto nodded to himself, then looked at the person responsible for throwing this Genjutsu at Kimimaro.
“Should I say, the mastery of Genjutsu of the three priestesses in Ryuchi Cave is indeed praiseworthy.” Kuroto said in a slightly impressed tone as she looked at the girl floating next to her.
“Ne-ne Kuroto-sama, should I make her suffer mentally, right? Should me? Once he suffers greatly, his chakra will weaken and will almost disappear; and just before he dies, I can eat all of his Chakras, I like the weak Chakra and it will soon disappear.” Ichikishima hime asked in an excited tone as some of her snake traits appeared on her face and she licked her lips, greedily eating Kimimaro's chakra.
Kuroto immediately shook his head, "No, he should stay alive."
Ichikishima Hime seems a little saddened by Kuroto's rejection, but she quickly regains her cheerfulness and begins to drift around Kimimaro, observing his unique features.
Since the Genjutsu used by Ichikishima hime is based on the use of Natural energy, it can therefore be classified as Senjutsu therefore, releasing it is a very difficult task, not to mention releasing it, not to mention releasing it, even realizing that one is experiencing Genjutsu is a very difficult task unless they are quite experienced with Genjutsu.
Although not as powerful as the Genjutsu used by the combined efforts of the Two Wise Toads of Mount Myoboku; capable of trapping even the carriers of the Rinnegan and Tenseigan, it was still one of the strongest Genjutsu in existence.
This was why Kuroto was not too worried about the possibility of Kimimaro being aware of his current situation, or being able to get out of it.
At this time, Ichikishima hime who was hovering around Kimimaro asked Kuroto in a curious tone, “Since he is not here to feed me, then why is he here, , Kuroto-sama? What does this boy want?”
Kuroto did not answer Ichikishima hime but took out a storage scroll and unsealed the contents inside. The contents inside the Storage Scroll include several test tube injections, as well as other equipment needed to collect cell samples.
“Because he is my prisoner, so of course he has to pay the ransom to be released, don't you think Ichikishima hime? I will not kill him because he is useful to me, but I will take some of his cells to do tests and experiments.” Kuroto told Ichikishima hime then went on to collect samples of Kimimaro's cells.
Although Ichikishima hime didn't really understand what kind of experiment Kuroto-sama wanted to do, it wasn't very important to him. As long as he was fed the Chakra, he did not care what Kuroto did.
Usually, Ichikishima hime likes to eat rotting chakra, chakra that almost disappears, which is why he usually traps his victims in the Genjutsu world then makes them collapse mentally. But for some reason even she doesn't understand she likes to eat Kuroto Chakra as well, 'Maybe because Chakranya is yin dominant.' He could only take this as a possible reason, since other explanations made no sense.
'Oh well, that doesn't really matter.' But he also did not care much about the exact reason.
On the other hand, Kuroto assumed that there would not be many opportunities in the future, so he collected several times from normal and also made sure to take a blood sample of Kimimaro, he said, bone sample as well as hair sample, and then seal everything with Storage Scroll.
After Kuroto is finished in the real world, he focuses his attention back to the world of Genjutsu where Kimimaro is trapped.
…
Genjutsu World
Currently, Kimimaro had also finished giving all the information he knew about the Kaguya Clan and the shinobi named Kaguya Takashi.
After Kimimaro finished, Kuroto in Genjutsu world fell silent for a while, then asked curiously, “By the way, is there anything unusual in your body?”
Kimimaro frowned, "What do you mean by 'unusual'??"
Kuroto said, "In a sense, do you feel any sudden weakness or unnatural crippling sensations in your body?"
Kimimaro narrowed his eyes, and asked, "How do you know?"
Kaguya Takashi had told him about the curse of the Kaguya Clan, but Kimimaro had not told anyone about it yet, even Jugo gave his words to Kimimaro that he would not talk about this to anyone, even to Orochimaru-sama unless Kimimaro instructed him Even before, Kimimaro did not mention anything about the curse of the Kaguya Clan, not even to mention anything about the curse of the Kaguya Clan, because he did not want to provide information about his weakness.
But the fact that Hyuga Kuroto knew of this matter had shocked him.
Kuroto did not answer Kimimaro's question, instead, he asked the question in return, “What is Orochimaru-sama's theory about the cause of your illness? And what treatment did he use?”
Kimimaro's tone became heavier, "I haven't told Orochimaru-sama about it."
Kuroto was dumbfounded, then said, “It doesn't matter whether you have told him or not, he must have noticed that there is something unusual about your body, which is not the case, but maybe he lacks the right information to be able to understand well what it is. I'm Advising You to tell me immediately everything You know about Your illness. If he understands the true cause of your illness early enough, maybe you will be able to survive.”
"You don't have to worry about my business or my well-being." Kimimaro said in a cold tone, although his expression said that he was seriously considering Kuroto's words.
The reason why Kuroto advised Kimimaro was not because of his kindness or concern for Kimimaro, but to better understand Shikotsumyaku, at the same time, he also wanted Orochimaru's research on this Kekkei Genkai and the results he obtained while trying to find a way out.
Kuroto knows that the true potential of Shikotsumyaku is very, very high, and retraces the use of All Killing Ash Bones by Kaguya, who is Jutsu Kekkei Mora. All of the Killer Ash Bones were even superior to the Truth-Searching Orbs in terms of their potential. Just one touch was enough to turn even a Six Path level opponent into ashes. This was why Kuroto was so interested in him.
And seeing Kimimaro take his words seriously, Kuroto did not say anything more, having just released the seal on Kimimaro sealing his Chakranya (still in the world of Genjutsu) at the same time, the land that wrapped Kimimaro was also pulled back under the orders of Kuroto (still in Genjutsu World).
Kuroto then said, “Alright then, since I have gotten what I want, you can go back now. Also, it's Konoha, so you better not run around like this. The number of people in this village who were able to kill you was more than a few dozen. Once you get caught peeping, even he won't be able to save you. ”
Kimimaro snorted and jumped to the window, and just before he left, he looked at Kuroto coldly, and said, “This time I lose, but next time it won't be easy for you, it won't be easy for you, Hyuga Kuroto, you traitor and I will definitely eliminate you.”
Kuroto just chuckles, “Is that so? then, I'll wait.”
Kimimaro snorted and jumped out the window and back towards the guesthouse.
'The poor boy didn't even realize that as long as he was in my house, he was under Genjutsu.' Kuroto thought then shook his head.
Kuroto knew that Kimimaro's potential was very high, but he also had no understanding of Nature's energy, either, or the deep experience of Genjutsu so natural that under normal circumstances Kimimaro does not know that he is under Genjutsu.
After Kimimaro left, Kuroto turned to Ichikishima Hime and said, "You can also come back, I'll call you if I need you."
Ichikishima hime nodded, and before disappearing in a puff of smoke, he did not forget to speak, "Don't forget to prepare a prey for me Kuroto-sama."
Kuroto nodded, but not too seriously.
Now with Kuroto left alone at home, he muttered, "Obito and Nagato probably won't give me much time, so I need to speed up Project Godhood."
…
Inside the secret underground base of the Akatsuki Organization.
A swirling vortex appeared in the void, and Obito, without a mask came out from there.
Zetsu and Tobi Senior came and looked at Obito's left eye and asked, “How does it feel? Do you have a method to convert this Sharingan to Mangekyou Sharingan?”
Obito nonchalantly replied, "It's already a Mangekyou Sharingan."
Tobi Senior said in a surprised tone, “Have changed to Mangekyou Sharingan? You really deserve to be chosen by Madara-sama.”
Obito shook his head, "No, it's the Mangekyou Sharingan, before I even take it back." After saying that Obito's face showed a hint of emotion and recalling the moment he witnessed Rin's death, "Hatake Kakashi probably woke up the Mangekyou Sharingan at the same time as me."
Even Black Zetsu was shocked but he chose not to speak anything.
A shinobi who was not an Uchiha or Senju or Uzumaki; and had no close blood relation to Hagoromo's descendants who actually managed to resurrect the Mangekyou Sharingan? In Black Zetsu's opinion, Kakashi Hatake's talent was extremely high, one of the best talents the Shinobi World had ever seen.
Obito didn't seem to want to talk too much about Hatake Kakashi, or Mangekyou Sharingan, so he turned to Zetsu and asked, “Forget these things, let's talk about the important ones, let's talk about them, how is Nagato's condition, has he adapted to the transplant? ?”
Zetsu White said with a smile, “ Unexpectedly turned out to be good. The Uzumaki Clan and the Senju Clan were truly worthy of being close relatives. His body is almost perfectly adapted to Hashirama.” Cells
Obito nodded, but also whispered to himself, "I have to make sure Nagato doesn't get out of control."
Obito was very clear, and understood very well that if Nagato was too strong it would be difficult to control him, at the same time, he had no other choice because if Nagato were to die, Nagato would have no choice, and if the Rinnegan is destroyed then the Tsuki no Me Project cannot be completed, so he has no choice but to transplant Hashirama Cells in Nagato.
But because the stronger Nagato would be very difficult to control, with Obito's previous strength; and this was one of the reasons why Obito took back his left eye as well as increasing his direct control in the Akatsuki Organization.
Obito then turned to look at Tobi Senior and asked, "How are the people inside you adapting?"
Tobi Senior crossed both hands, and said in an excited tone, “He is the perfect choice.”
Obito nodded, then said, "How much combat power do you think you have with him in you?"
Tobi Senior thought a little, then said, “I think I will be able to press all five Kages quite easily.”
“Even Yagura?” Obito asked again, he knew that was the case, but he just needed to make sure.
Tobi Senior nodded, “Hmm, after all, the one inside me has the Sharingan Element and Wood.”
Zetsu said from the side, “It was a waste to let him stay with Shimura Danzo, bringing him was the best thing, though, the fact that he didn't have one hand was a bit of a problem, with Tobi wrapping it. ; that won't be a problem.”
Obito nodded, “Then, you can officially join Akatsuki, and you replace me as the only Tobi.”
Zetsu asked, "Then what about you?"
"I'm going to need a new mask, and I'm going to be myself, Uchiha Madara." Obito said in an indifferent tone.
"Good." Zetsu was not too surprised and nodded. Before Madara died, he entrusted Obito to be Madara in his place, and Obito was Madara instead.
Zetsu then said to Obito, “The investigation into Amatsukami has not yet yielded any useful information. Except for a few rumors that had no conclusive evidence to back it up, there was nothing we could find about them, they appeared out of nowhere and disappeared somewhere, no matter where, as if they don't exist at all.”
"And what about the temple of the Land of Heaven, which disappeared?" ask Obito.
Zetsu said, "It hasn't been seen yet, maybe it's been dumped somewhere, or maybe it's been hidden too well so we can't find it."
"Continue to investigate, we'll find something useful sooner or later." Obito said as he walked towards the glass wall.
At a glance, the glass wall was made up of many glass containers, and some of these glass containers seemed to have something floating inside that looked like an eye.
Some of them were taken by Madara when he left Konoha; as the former Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, Madara clearly had many Sharingans from the Uchiha dead at his hands. So, when she left Konoha, Madara took them with her.
Later many others have been collected by the Zetsu Clones from the dead Uchiha graves, while some of them were stolen by Obito from Root Base at the time Shinichi defected.
Looking at the Sharingan in front of him, Obito had a thoughtful expression, after considering for a while he removed the Akatsuki robe, as well as his combat gear, then said to Zetsu beside him, “I want you to transplant some Sharingan. as a sacrifice to use Izanagi.”
Zetsu asked, "But you already have both eyes, where to transplant them?"
Obito said nonchalantly, "Where in my body where they are not directly visible to me, I do not want to see these eyes."
Zetsu said, "For maximum effect, the eye must be connected to the Optic Nerve, if it is transplanted to another part of the body, then the effect may be reduced, moreover, there is a different possibility of rejection."
Obito did not care, and said lightly, "No problem, we have enough Sharingan to try many times."
Obito knew very well that what Zetsu said was true, but to him, it didn't matter. The effect ultimately depends on user control. And for him who has Hashirama Cells in his body, the effect will definitely be good. Moreover, as long as he got one second while using Izanagi, it was already more than enough for him.
"Alright, lie down, I'll transplant it." Zetsu said as he started his work, but suddenly he remembered something and said again, "By the way, it seems Nagato's training went quite smoothly, and he has been planning something recently."
Obito furrowed his brows, and asked, "What is he planning?"
Zetsu said, "I'm not too sure, but it looks like he wants to make Konoha feel pain or something."
