Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan
Chapter 88 - – 86 Reaching Roran CityUsing two Ink Lions to stall some time, Kuroshimasu immediately fled towards the campfire.
Glancing at Hyuga Kuroto still sitting by the campfire and casually savoring the roasted rabbit meat, the corner of his lips curved in viciousness, and he thought in his heart, 'You should die here idiot, an unworthy bastard, dare to refuse Danzo-Sama's order!'
After solving the two ink lions with ease the mysterious ninja quickly followed behind Kuroshimasu. While he was still running the iron sand around him turned into countless needles and shot at Kuroshimasu like raindrops.
Kuroshimasu was both shocked and panicked, and immediately thought, 'Why is he attacking me now? Could it be that his goal isn't Hyuga Kuroto, but me…!?'
Obviously, Kuroshimasu couldn't protect himself from the rain of Iron needles, so matter how hard he tried to dodge and deflect the incoming iron sand needles, there were still a few dozens of them that got through his body.
Compared to Shuriken and Kunai, Needle's power is undoubtedly inferior, so although Kuroshimasu's body was ridden with needles, he would still stay alive for a while.
Kuroshimasu collapsed on the nearby tree with staggering steps and pointed at Hyuga Kuroto who still didn't bother to look this side, "You… you are allied with him, aren't you!?"
How can Kuroshimasu not understand such a thing at this point, he is dying just 10 meters away from Hyuga Kuroto, how could the other party not even notice?
But even if he understands this, he still can't figure out how did an elite ninja who mastered Magnet Release ally with pathetic brats like Hyuga Kuroto?
Kuroto noticed the eyes of the Root ninja that were going blank, so he got up and walked towards him and asked calmly: "What order did Danzo give you?"
Cough… Cough…
Kuroshimasu coughed out blood because of the injuries in his body, and snorted coldly, "You traitor, you dare ally yourself with an enemy ninja, someone like you will never be able to escape, you're going to di-…"
Kuroto didn't bother listening to the other party's cursing and muttered thoughtfully, "'Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal' wouldn't let him speak either about Danzo or Root."
All the Root ninja have the 'Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal,' to prevent them from revealing any information about the Root and Danzo.
Shaking his head in disappointment, Kuroto returned back to the bonfire and again started eating the rabbit meat and let Kuroshimasu die at the hands of Kazekage puppet as if both of them had nothing to do with him.
Kuroshimasu was again confused by Hyuga Kuroto's behavior.
As far as he can see, both Hyuga Kuroto and the mysterious ninja are indifferent to each other, but no matter what; he has to pass the information about Hyuga Kuroto's betrayal to Danzo-sama.
Mustering up the last of his strength, Kuroshimasu spread the scroll he was carrying to cast a Jutsu using the last of his chakra.
"Ninpou: Multiple Super Imitating Beast Drawing!"
Whoosh… whoosh… whoosh…
With a series of noises, hundreds of small ink birds flew out from the scroll spread by Kuroshimasu and spread in all four directions in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the ink birds going away, Kuroshimasu who was almost on the verge of losing consciousness had a gratified smile, however, his smile suddenly froze and turned into horror because he just realized that all the ink birds had suddenly stopped midway in their flight and were all attracted towards Hyuga Kuroto by some inexplicable traction force.
Before Kuroshimasu could even do anything, an iron spear pierced right through his head.
On Kuroto's end, after filling up his stomach, and sealing away the Kazekage puppet, he rushed towards the nearest Konoha guard post carrying the Root Ninja's corpse.
Arriving at the outpost, he said to the ninja responsible for the post, "I was attacked by a bounty ninja, during the battle, unfortunately, this Anbu ninja died, send the body back to the village for autopsy and report the situation to Hokage-Sama."
The ninja responsible nodded at Kuroto's instruction and sent a ninja to complete the task.
With Kuroto's status of being Anbu ninja, issuing such tasks is a piece of cake.
After a brief explanation, Kuroto left the post.
It was better for him to send Kuroshimasu's corpse back to the village then to dispose of it by himself to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Hokage-Sama must be aware that Hyuga Kuroto carries a large bounty on his head, so such attacks wouldn't be too rare, and even if he suspects that it might have been Kuroto himself who killed the Root ninja, there is no proof of it.
So, him pushing the Root ninja's death on the Bounty Hunter-nin is the best course of action.
With this, he also indirectly expressed his attitude towards Shimura Danzo.
As for what would be Danzo's reaction to this?
Kuroto couldn't care less about it.
Shimura Danzo isn't someone who will let you off just because of your softness and loyalty to the village. Shisui is the best example of this. Even when he dedicated himself to the village, Danzo still stole the Mangekyou, which prompted Shisui to commit suicide in silence to not let his death escalate the conflict between the Uchiha and the Village.
So, even if Kuroto shows acceptance towards Danzo, even if he agrees to Shimura Danzo's offer to join the Root Unit. With Danzo's nature, he wouldn't be satisfied unless he engraves several curse seals on him. Shimura Danzo doesn't trust anyone, not even his loyal followers.
Therefore, Kuroto had to make his stand clear.
After this small episode, Kuroto rushed to the forest.
Activating the Byakugan to check for any pursuit or any nearby presence.
After confirming that no one was following him, he activated the Tenseigan.
Kuroto only has about 2 months, and he can't waste most of the time traveling.
So, after checking the route he has already planned, he resummoned the Kazekage puppet and flew all the way to the Land of Wind with the help of Magnet Release.
In just about 3 days, he crossed the border of Land of Fire, passed over the Land of Rivers, and finally arrived back to the Land of Wind.
The ancient of Roran lies in the vast sea of sand of the Land of Wind. Even with the map pointing to its accurate location, it would have been extremely difficult for anyone to reach it if not for the deep knowledge of the terrain around the area.
Fortunately, Kuroto has means of flight so it took him only about 10 days to find the ruins of Roran city which was much less compared to the ordinary ninjas.
Kuroto was a little mesmerized looking at the towering buildings of the ancient Roran City, if not for these buildings, I am not even sure I would've been able to find the location of the Dragon Vein."
Even when he is so close to the actual site, he couldn't perceive the slightest trace of chakra leaking from the Dragon Vein, which just goes to show how strong the seal implied by Yondaime-Sama is.
But this fact was within his consideration, because if the seal was so easy to break, then the Sand Village wouldn't have let the dragon Vein rest here peacefully as if completely ignoring its existence.
Since he has finally found it, Kuroto cautiously ventured into the ruins of the ancient Roran City…
