Chapter 70: Gains
Chapter 70: Gains
Since he can now freely activate and deactivate the Tenseigan, so there was obviously no need to wear the dark goggles anymore.
After all, wearing the goggles also has a considerable impact on his field of vision, especially at night, the dark color of the lens interferes with his insight.
So, after putting the goggles in the ninja bag around his waist, Kuroto got up and returned to the small cave where the Team-11 was hiding.
As soon as Guy saw Kuroto walking in, he smiled and said, “Hahaha, I couldn’t even recognize you for a second, looks quite strange without the goggles!”
Kuroto didn’t mind Guy and observed him while asking, “how is your condition?”
Guy immediately gave his ‘Nice Guy’ pose: ‘a thumbs up, wink, and a winning smile showing his front teeth – complete with the proverbial ‘ping’,’ and while laughing enthusiastically said, “Don’t worry, I am Konoha’s Sublime Blue Beast of Prey! Such small injuries will not stop me from brimming with the ‘Power of Youth!’.”
And Kuroto has no doubt about Guy’s words.
Undoubtedly, Guy’s resilience is far extraordinary than one might think. If ordinary people push themselves as hard as he does in his training, they will not only be physically overwhelmed but even mentally collapse.
This time the injuries he suffered were not minor but only a few days of rest and he can already jump around.
So he only shook his head helplessly at Guy’s enthusiasm and walked forward.
Going further inside the cave, Kuroto found Shisui chatting with Kakashi in low voice.
Seeing both of them a little serious, Kuroto asked casually, “What are talking about with such serious looks?”
Shisui glanced at Kakashi and seeing that the other party nodded, he said to Kuroto in a weird tone: “Kuroto-San, Captain Kakashi has awakened Mangekyou Sharingan.”
Kuroto looked at Kakashi, “Did you awaken at the Valley?”
Kakashi who was still in weakness shook his head negatively, “I don’t know much!”
Obviously, Kuroto isn’t surprised about Kakashi awakening the Mangekyou, because as far as he remembers, Kakashi did have it in the original series.
It was about the same time when Obito awakened his Mangekyou, probably because of the resonance between the two and the intense emotional fluctuation that the two experienced due to Rin’s death.
It’s just that Kakashi might have not realized this fact until now, but his battle at the valley in the Land of Lightning probably allowed him to learn of this fact.
Seeing that Kakashi was still in pretty bad condition, Kuroto didn’t ask for any more information.
Besides, he didn’t want to show his interest or familiarity with the information on the Mangekyou, as it would bring a lot of unnecessary trouble and suspicion.
After all, for a Hyuga to have such knowledge on the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is indeed suspicious.
There are already other people who have a deep interest in the Sharingan as well as Mangekyou, Shimura Danzo in the Village, and Orochimaru outside the village are a few of the examples.
There is also Obito being hidden in the dark, who plans to destroy the Uchiha Clan as well as weaken Konoha, and not to mention the freak Zetsu, who Kuroto can’t even begin to think about.
Kuroto doesn’t want to become the target of their focus, as it would only bring way too much trouble upon him.
Seeing Kuroto-Kun not very interested in Kakashi-San’s Mangekyou, Shisui didn’t say much.
It’s just that he was already in a dumbfounded state, never in his life would he have thought that a non-Uchiha member who transplanted the Sharingan could awaken the Legendary Mangekyou revered by the Uchiha.
In his opinion, the very existence of Captain Kakashi’s Mangekyou is the biggest mockery of Uchiha’s pride.
Countless Uchihas who have been hailed as geniuses failed to awaken the Mangekyou, even now as far he knows, he is the only Uchiha to have awakened the Mangekyou.
And the power of Mangekyou even terrifies him, he fears that this Mangekyou would only bring ominousness to both the Village and the Uchiha.
This is also the reason why he guards this power that represents the Uchiha’s pride so carefully, and here he is now witnessing Captain Kakashi who is not even an Uchiha to have awakened it inexplicably.
This is way beyond hilarious, Shisui doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Fortunately, Shisui’s inner pride has already been torn to shreds by Kuroto-San not long ago. In his belief, the proud Uchiha have obviously been defeated by the Hyuga Clan.
At least in his thinking, the power of Mangekyou cannot rival Kuroto-San’s power he witnessed at the valley.
Therefore, this time it was much easier for him to accept the loss of Uchiha. ‘After all, Captain Kakashi is also the son of White Fang, it should be acceptable, shouldn’t it?’ – this was his question to himself.
Shisui’s complicated mental activities were unknown to Kuroto and Kakashi.
One was immersed in his own spiritual world.
While Kuroto was pondering over the events that took place in the past few days.
This battle at the valley again taught him a lesson, even if has a lot of hole cards in his hand, he must remain cautious, otherwise, he may lose his life in just a split second and wouldn’t even get the chance to use those hole cards.
And this thing almost happened this time. Although he had the Kazekage puppet with him, and he could have easily escaped using it, but just one small negligence almost made him lose his life.
It must never be forgotten that this is the Shinobi World, the very same Shinobi World where even the Jubi Jinchuriki Madara was left helpless in the face of Black Zetsu’s sneak attack, and even Kaguya was sealed twice.
Even a bit of carelessness isn’t an option, you have to be vigilant even when you are as strong as the Sage of the Six Paths or the Chakra Ancestor!
…
The biggest gain is undoubtedly the information he obtained from the giant Tenseigan about the method to enter ‘Tenseigan Chakra Mode’ as well as using the other techniques like ‘Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion’ and ‘Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion’ using the Truth-Seeking Orbs.
In fact, now Kuroto can even understand Kaguya, Madara, Nagato, and Toneri’s God complex. The moment he entered the ‘Tenseigan Chakra Mode’, Kuroto himself felt like he was a God, and all the enemies were just some tiny little ants he could crush with just a wave of his hand.
This feeling of course made him very happy, unlike those that might feel disgusted about it.
But it’s a pity that those Otsutsuki descendants on the moon reacted way too quickly and sealed the chakra flow of the Giant Tenseigan, so he didn’t have enough time to familiarize himself with the ‘Tenseigan Chakra Mode’.
But Kuroto is not too much worried about it.
After that incident, there are traces of Hamura’s chakra left on him, and with enough rest and recuperation, his original chakra has also almost recovered.
Although with his Chakra Volume, using ‘Tenseigan Chakra Mode’ for too long wouldn’t be ideal, familiarizing himself with it should be possible.
However, Kuroto wasn’t in any hurry, such things should be taken steadily one at a time, moreover, those Otsutsuki descendants on the moon are also searching the Shinobi world quite a lot so laying low for a while is the best course of option for him for now at least.
After returning to the Land of Fire, he would test the Tenseigan Chakra Mode…
