Reborn Into Naruto World With Tenseigan
The Amatsukami Plan
After arriving at Shisui's place, Itachi told him about what happened some time ago, and the masked man from the Akatsuki Organization came to him to make a deal with him...
"Information about the possible identities of the two Homusubi with an imbalance returned Sasuke back?" shisui muttered with a thoughtful face, then asked, "What are you going to do?" Shisui asked so because he had no real say in the matter, after all, Sasuke's life was at stake, and they couldn't risk it here, because even a small mistake could lead to Sasuke's death...
"I've thought about it, and I want to talk about this matter with Kuroto-san and ask for his opinion." Itachi said as approved by Shisui.
Shisui created the Shadow Clone to act as his disguise, then with Itachi he secretly left the Uchiha Clan, then both of them went towards Kuroto's house.
There was a reason why they were so cautious despite being in the Uchiha Clan district within Konoha Village, and it was likely that the masked man left something to spy on them and monitor all their actions.
Of course, both Shisui and Itachi had the belief that the masked man would not surprise them when they were vigilant, but they did not want to take any risks at this moment, after all, this time, right now, they are in a situation where even a little mistake can cause them to be expensive ...
So, in this way, Shisui and Itachi together arrived at Kuroto's house, which seemed to have been waiting for their arrival and welcomed them inside his house with a smile.
After sitting around Kotatsu who had prepared tea and snacks for the three of them, Shisui and Itachi looked at each other and asked, "Kuroto-san, or did you know that we were coming?"
Kuroto replied, “Oh.. I hope you two will come here soon, so I have prepared tea and snacks, besides, why did you two come here… if I don't guess wrong, it must be related to the masked man Akatsuki who visited Itachi right?”
Shisui was surprised and asked, "Kuroto-san, how do you know?"
Kuroto replied with a smile, "Because not too long ago, she also visited me. and used my disciple Neji to blackmail me..."
Obito could use Neji to blackmail Kuroto, so naturally, he would not miss the opportunity to use Sasuke and blackmail Itachi, this was not something too difficult to guess, and Kuroto realized it even before she agreed to the so-called Obito deal.
"As I thought ..." Itachi nodded, he was not too surprised either, and said, "The mysterious masked Uchiha of the Akatsuki Organization approached me when I was alone at a training ground near the Uchiha Clan district and said that she wanted to make a deal with me ...
At that time, because she was never out of an intangible state so I could not find the right opportunity to use Tsukuyomi on her. Although I understood that he might just make an empty promise, and did not really intend to fulfill the final agreement, I had no other choice but to agree temporarily to ensure Sasuke's safety.”.
At this time Shisui who was chewing the rice crackers suddenly thought of something and asked, “Say, Kuroto-san, the masked man approached Itachi and asked him to hide the identity of both Homusubi in Amatsukami… does he want you to do something? similar?"
Kuroto took a sip of his green, and nodded, "Yes, he ordered me to use my identity as the Captain of the Anbu Forces to ambush whatever intelligence Konoha has about Amatsukami."
Obito thinks that as the captain of Team-Ro's squad, Kuroto might be able to hide and pass on all the secret information Konoha has about Amatsukami.
Why does he believe that Konoha will have intelligence on Amatsukami?
It was only because the masked men and the majority of the residents of Konoha and the other Shinobi Villages believed that Amatsukami and Konoha were most likely in some kind of cooperative relationship, so, so, Konoha certainly has some important information about Amatsukami that might prove useful to Akatsuki who wants to defeat Amatsukami.
But it was a pity that the masked man was so wrong. There was no such thing, and only four people including Sandaime Hokage, Utatane Koharu, the Commander of Anbu, were, and Kuroto who knows what kind of cooperation Amatsukami has with Konoha. The cooperation relationship between Amatsukami and Konoha is only oral, the agreement is verbal, even the verbal agreement is currently limited to the commission that Sandaime issued to Homusubi in the hope that Amatsukami can help Konoha in saving the fourth son.
Thus, the information Konoha has about Amatsukami is nothing more than the information Akatsuki already has about Amatsukami…
Thinking so, Shisui looked at Kuroto and Itachi with a speechless expression...
Whether the informant/spy that the masked man of the Akatsuki Organization is trying to develop inside Konoha to hide intelligence about the coincidence Amatsukami is a member or leader of the organization, this makes Shisui feel funny, she said, and he couldn't help but pity the masked man…
Right now, Itachi asked, "Kuroto-san, have you thought about what to do about this matter?"
Itachi did not need to think too much, and replied, "The Akatsuki organization wants intelligence on Amatsukami, we can give them what they are, but only the part we want them to know..."
Shisui added, "Yes, and using the advantage we have over them in terms of intelligence, we might even be able to ambush them surprisingly and possibly eliminate them all..."
Kuroto nodded, "My thoughts are the same. but we must be patient, the Akatsuki Organization will not lower their vigilance towards us easily..."
Both Itachi and Shisui nodded...
Akatsuki and the masked man in particular had suffered repeated defeats at the hands of Amatsukami, so there was no denying that they would be very careful at first, he said, but once they confirm that Kuroto and Itachi are not threatening them, they may slowly relax their vigilance. , that would allow Kuroto to take advantage of their failure and take the lead in his palm and perhaps even eliminate Obito and Nagato.
At the thought of this Kuroto glanced at Itachi with his Tenseigan.
Right now, the only person who could effectively neutralize Obito's threat was Itachi who possessed the Totsuka Sword, so its existence was very important.
After the events of that night, when Kuruto was free, he asked Itachi and Shisui about the ins and outs of the cause of their disappearance and also got all the information he could about their experience.
Itachi explains how he managed to obtain the Sword of Totsuka and the Yata Mirror and Shisui explains how he accidentally ventured into the Nekomata Domain and studied Senjutsu to get out of that Domain.
Kuroto's interest in Nekomata Domain wasn't too great because it wasn't strange if there were more than three Sacred Places where one could practice Senjutsu, and he himself was in contact with one of those, so, so, his attention was mostly centered on the Totsuka Sword and the Yama Mirror that Itachi had managed to obtain.
After knowing all the information about the two artifacts, Kuroto understood that they were tied to the user's soul, and could not be provided without damaging the soul.
Of course, Kuroto did feel a little regretful that she could not use both artifacts, but what was okay to do, so she did not care about it.
At the same time, he also understood why Itachi at Canon had never entrusted the two artifacts to Sasuke…
It was known that Itachi at Canon left almost everything he could for Sasuke before his death, even his Mangekyou Sharingan partner would be transplanted to Sasuke after he became blind.
Only two things that Itachi did not leave to Sasuke included the Totsuka Sword and the Yata Mirror…
Why didn't he leave those two artifacts? This question always confused Kuroto? This is definitely impossible!
And after understanding Itachi's experience, Kuroto finally understood, not because Itachi was unwilling to give the two artifacts to Sasuke, only that he could not for two specific reasons…
The first reason was that after the two artifacts were tied to one's soul, they would not let go unless the person's soul was completely destroyed, which meant that even if the person died, it would not, both artifacts will remain attached to his soul…
So if Itachi gave Sasuke two artifacts, the first thing he had to do was destroy his soul, of course, knowing Itachi he would do so without hesitation, yet he chose not to… there is another reason for this ... And this was the second reason, even if the soul of the person was destroyed, and artifacts were released from it, they also could not be manually given to the next person, nor would they go to the next best candidate, either, instead, they would just return to where they came from.
That is, if the next user wanted to obtain both artifacts, then they would have to pass the trial from the beginning.
The test was related to defeating one's inner shadow, but making everyone achieve such a feat? Beating one's inner shadow may sound easy, but far more than it seems on the surface, the chances of failure are very high, and failure means the person will forever be trapped inside Profit, the shadow will take over.
Itachi who understood Sasuke's character and the hatred in his heart knew very well that Sasuke might not be able to defeat his inner darkness at the time, so he did not want Sasuke to take such a big risk…
