Because there were no casualties in the incident, and because Anbu Konoha knew enough who the perpetrators of the attack on the two Chunins were; therefore, Kimimaro's actions did not cause a commotion. And since Kuroto gave intelligence information to Kaguya Takashi at the right time, therefore, no significant events occurred except the warnings received by the Otogakure squad leader to ensure that his subordinates remained under surveillance.
In this case, Kuroto can also understand that Hokage-sama seems to have no intention of creating a conflict with Otogakure, however small Otogakure the newly created Shinobi Village is, he said, Sandaime also has no intention of making a conflict with Otogakure.
The attack on Kakashi has proved that the Akatsuki Organization is showing signs of moving again, so the more difficult the situation, the calmer and more restrained Sandaime will be, otherwise it will be too devastating for the village.
So, after receiving information about Kaguya Takashi, the matter did not proceed any further.
Early the next morning, Kuroto left his Shadow Clone in the Village to act as his successor, then quietly slipped out of Konoha with a newly obtained sample of Kimimaro's cells.
Flying all the way, Kuroto soon arrived at the flying aerial fortress on the eastern side of the Land of Fire.
During this period of time, under the control of the Sandaime Kazekage, the air fortress was hidden behind the heavy rain clouds and floated above the Sea. Because it had hidden quite well within the rain clouds, and because there were hundreds of seal charms covering the air fortress, therefore, no one had been able to see or find Ancor Vantian until now.
Of course, this is not without its own disadvantages, long-term hiding within the rain clouds has led to constant exposure to moisture; which further results in corrosion of the outer structure of the air fortress. The 24x7 active defense spell has pretty much prevented corrosion, but few are preventable.
The defensive charm that remains active 24x7 leads to a lot of Chakar consumption; and only because of the presence of Moryo who has been sealed in the energy chamber that meets the requirements of such a high Chakra, otherwise, not only will the Air Fortress that will be detected for a long time even collapse.
Upon arriving at the air fortress, Kuroto first checked the current status of the Chimera Shoots he had planted some time ago (Chapters 329 - 330).
And as he had expected, among all the Chimera buds he had planted, the two buds were successfully merged with his cell; thus, making them suitable to be transplanted into his body for the Jutsu Chimera.
Seeing the two buds succeed, though Kuroto is happy that she is one step closer to the Merger Ceremony, Kuroto knew that he could not be as reckless as Hiruko because this Shoot had a tendency to even swallow the host.
'I have to be careful when dealing with them.' Kuroto thought.
Immature shoots of Chimera may seem harmless at first or second glance, but Kuroto knew better than anyone that this bud was actually a monster capable of actually fusing the flesh and blood of several people into its host. Once such a monster got out of control, it was hard to imagine how the consequences would be disastrous.
Kuroto had gained a deeper level of understanding about the Chimera Shoot after research and development over the past few months, no matter what he had done, the matter of the Chimera Shoot had never left his mind.
The way Hiruko handles the Chimera Shoots is clearly visible and then repeatedly postulated by Kuroto. According to Hiruko's manner, she loosened the restrictions on Chimera Buds to increase the ability of the flesh and blood fusion to increase the success rate of the Ceremony.
Of course, from a certain point of view, there is nothing wrong with Hiruko's approach, because in the field of science, the success rate is most important. After all, if the experiment itself resulted in failure, then what was the point?
That is, if Hiruko's own existence would be erased, then what use would there be in the hidden dangers that exist or not in her experiments, they would be meaningless, right?
Therefore, first, the experiment was conducted keeping in mind the highest success rate, which Hiruko did. After that, subsequent improvements in various parameters were made to eliminate hidden dangers while keeping the same success rate in mind, and then the success rate was further improved.
Hiruko follows the first step, but unfortunately for her, she will not be able to proceed to the second or third step, because once a subject is tested, then there is no turning back for that subject.
So, Hiruko's state was already fixed, and even if Hiruko might have predicted the hidden dangers of the Chimera Shoots, she obviously underestimated them.
The shoots of Chimera were monsters, they were true Chimera-like creatures capable of fusing flesh and blood, but the problem was that their ability to combine flesh and blood was too strong and a kind of instinct, at the same time they have independent consciousness. .
This independent awareness usually helps the host in healing the wound and protecting the host while he is unconscious, but they are also able to forcibly take control of the host's body and consciousness, as well as the host's, which can be very dangerous.
And it might become difficult at some point to judge whether it was the original host controlling the Chimera Shoots on his body, or the Chimera Shoots controlling the host.
And the stronger his host, the stronger his Chimera Buds, therefore, Kuroto knew that he had to be very careful when dealing with this seemingly harmless creature, which he was, it is not much different from the Venom of the Spiderman verse.
Rubbing her chin, Kuroto thought to herself, 'It seems that I need to use someone for step 2, to further improve and refine all the parameters to make the experiment safer, at the same time, also increase the success rate of the operation.'
Kuroto greatly admires Hiruko's courage to brave the river by feeling the rocks, but on the road to becoming a god, there is no turning back, whether it be a success at the end, a partial success of a dead end, a partial success of a dead end, or just death. .
So, Kuroto can't do what Hiruko did, only death will give her another chance.
'Who could be the most suitable Pawn?' it was the thought in Kuroto's mind when several candidates appeared in Kuroto's mind in an instant.
Of course, not just anyone can be a good pawn, he must be a capable person but not capable enough. Otherwise, he will be difficult to control, he must be knowledgeable, at the same time must not be knowledgeable enough.good pawns because he will realize that he is being used, and yes, he is, the pawn must have sufficient financial strength because its pouch will be stripped in the hope of forging the King, the most important thing is that the pawn must be quite ambitious .
In fact, the first three criteria are not so important, the most important is ambition.
When Kuroto thought about it, there was only one person who matched all four criteria. And when Kuroto thought of her name, her lips curved into a wicked grin, “It's time for you to play your role Shimura Danzo.”
Shimura Danzo is the type of man who will not hesitate to use the Jutsu Chimera on himself, Kuroto can be sure about this, after all, the man has no basis, no basis, no, he actually dared to graft his Sharingan and Hashirama Cells into his body.
In addition, note, Shimura Danzo is also one of Konoha's high-level leaders, so he has a lot of political power and financial resources on his hands. He was able to invest large funds in the further development of the Jutsu Chimera.
He is also capable and knowledgeable enough but not knowledgeable enough because he often relies on Orochimaru and other researchers to achieve his goals.
And more important is that he is an ambitious person, even in his deteriorating old age, he still dreams of becoming Hokage and spending all his efforts on it, at the same time, he said, he had no basis for it, after all, the man actually dared to take out some missions with the aim of killing Sandaime Hokage; so he must be the pawn that Kuroto was looking for.
Others may be able to resist the temptation of the Jutsu Chimera, but Shimura Danzo who has been trying to obtain this Jutsu for a long time will not be able to resist the temptation, especially if Kuroto considered the restrictions that Sandaime had recently placed on Shimura. Danzo and his Root subunit.
With that understanding, Kuroto sealed a copy of the Jutsu Chimera scroll along with the incomplete Chimera Buds who did not have their cells into the storage scroll, and thought, 'I think I can sell this to Shimura Danzo for a good price which should be between 150 million Ryo to 200 million Ryo, not too expensive nor too cheap.'
After dealing with the matter of the Chimera Buds, Kuroto put it aside for now and focused his attention on the Wind Realm Clone, and began to carry out the process of Merging the Cells for the Wind Realm Clone.
As always, before performing the actual Cell Merger process, Kimimaro cells need to be filtered to remove or reduce the potential for other Chakra Properties except for the Wind Chakra Properties. At the same time, since Kimimaro cells also contain the Orochimaru Earth Seal, therefore, the Cursed Earth Seal containing the Orochimaru Chakra needs to be removed as well.
So the whole screening process takes three days in total.
Among the 200 cell samples Kuroto used, 17 groups managed to survive the screening process while still maintaining its strong vitality.
In the screening process, Kuroto discovers that Kimimaro's cells contain a very large proportion of Yang Chakra, so despite repeated filtering, the powerful Yang Chakra still remains inside his cell.
After all, this is also natural, Shikotsumyaku Kekkei Genkai; which is a manipulation of the skeletal structure of the body, depends heavily on the Yang Chakra Nature. And this is also in line with Kuroto's theory of the Kaguya Clan representing the Yang part of the Hamura lineage.
And as per Kuroto's analysis of the Yang Chakra present in Kimimaro's cell, the physical members of the Kaguya Clan are second only to the Senju Clan and the Uzumaki Clan.
After getting those results, Kuroto went further, and as the screening process went smoothly, then he went on to the next most difficult step of all, which is the process of cell fusion.
While creating the Fire Clone, Kuroto encountered too many problems, and no matter how much effort he put in, nothing worked except one clone with the female gender, with no other choice, no one else, Kuroto had to compromise and chose the Tsukihi Clone.
However, the process of merging the cells for the Wind Clone went smoothly unexpectedly, too smoothly so Kuroto was very surprised. Of the 17 samples, ten samples successfully fused and still have high vitality.
Achieving such a result, even Kuroto was shocked, because these ten samples could be used to make Clone buds and start cultivating to cultivate Clones.
'It seems that my theory is indeed correct, the Hyuga Clan and the Kaguya Clan are indeed distant brothers.' That was the conclusion Kuroto had in mind.
There have been previous rumors and speculations about the two great Shinobi Clans, Hyuga, and Kaguya being closely related to each other for generations. However the communication between the two Clans was entirely in the hands of the Main Family, and Kuroto who was a member of the Branch Family did not have much knowledge about this.
Moreover, as the two Clans became part of different countries, the two Clans became very distant from each other over the years, especially after the Village System began.
Not to mention, the impact of the three great Shinobi Wars that have taken place in the last few decades, the, the two Clans that were once very close to each other were now completely destroyed with no communication left, so there was not much to do.
But the results of the experiment in front of him clearly showed that the Hyuga Clan and the Kaguya Clan were very close to each other.
