Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Chapter 677: To Learn Eight Inner Gates

“Having escaped Kumogakure after creating troubles… where will Danzo go?” muttered Kuroto with a thoughtful expression.

As one of the former senior consultants of Konoha, Danzo knows a lot about the Shinobi World. Even if all the Root hideouts recorded on the papers are eliminated, there would still exist hundreds of hideouts that only he knows and can use to hide.

Without a doubt, Danzo realizes that he is in a pretty bad situation. He has been declared wanted by several nations and is being hunted down by them. In this situation, even if there are some problems in his soul, as long as, he doesn’t make any big mistakes or give away his trace, finding him would be nearly impossible for anyone.

What’s more, even if someone does manage to find him, they won’t be able to do much damage to him, given his current strength. The current Danzo is nothing to scoff at, his strength has surpassed most of the shinobi out there, and he can no longer be taken lightly. The damn old man has seven Kekkei Genkai, each one more dangerous than the other, giving him the ability to survive the fights against most of the Shinobi out there. In fact, it wouldn’t even be wrong to say that there exists only a handful of shinobi out there who can defeat him.

What happened in Kumogakure is the direct proof of this.

Kumogakure wasn’t able to deal with Danzo inside their village and allowed him to escape their village, it’s hard to say whether the hunting team Raikage and Killer Bee have led to Danzo would be of any effect or not.

Shaw…

As Kuroto was thinking this, suddenly a sharp hawk whistle resounded.

He walked up to the window of the Principal’s office and noticed a small black spot gradually disappearing. Seeing this, he thought, ‘Communication Eagle used by Konoha… it seems Konoha is also planning to make its move…’ then frowned, ‘But is the village even aware of the exact situation?’

It’s hard to say whether Konoha has any significant information…

Based on what Kuroto knows so far, currently, Konoha doesn’t have any useful information… But considering the bold move the village seems to have made, it seems they have conducted an in-depth analysis and some speculation on all the likely possibilities.

After all, there aren’t too many reasons why Kumogakure would become the center of attention of the entire shinobi world, moreover, why and who would attack Kumogakure out of nowhere?

It could have been the Akatsuki, but considering that Killer Bee was not taken away, and chased after the attacker along with the Raikage instead of hiding somewhere, so the Akatsuki Organization can be ruled out.

Since the attacker was not a member of the Akatsuki Organization, it means that it has to be someone else… and it just so happens that Danzo had defected to Kumogakure not long ago.

Although no one in Konoha wants to accept it, it is a possibility that can’t be denied, so sending in Anbu squads to investigate the matter is plausible.

Completely clear of the intentions behind Konoha’s move, now Kuroto has to think of his move.

After weighing it up, he decided to stay put for the time being.

Kuroto’s personal energy is limited, and he would much rather spend that energy somewhere productive instead of aimlessly searching the entire shinobi world by himself. Kuroto believes that staying in one place and concentrating on collecting information is a much better idea.

Anyway, Kuroto controls two shinobi villages from the shadows and also has a very good grasp over the intelligence network of Konoha, with the assistance of the intelligence network of three great Shinobi villages, Kuroto will be able to stay updated on every movement. As long as Danzo shows up, Kuroto will definitely be the first one to know his location and can plan accordingly.

Since he has decided to stay put for a while, Kuroto focused his attention on another important matter and came to the training field of the Konoha Ninja Academy.

The person he is looking for is none other than Might Guy.

Since he has almost mastered the Yin-seal, the next step is mastering the Eight Inner Gates. And the best way to master this forbidden Jutsu is to learn it from the pro.

After strolling for a while, Kuroto came to the place where Might Guy was present.

And looking at what Guy was doing, Kuroto smiled lightly and walked up to him.

Bang… Bang… Bang…

As he walked closer and closer, the rhythmic sound of fists and feet colliding on the wooden stump could be heard.

He walked up to Guy’s side, and asked with a smile, “Has that kid caught your interest?”

Undoubtedly, Guy was hiding behind a tree and observing a child in the distance. And yes, the sound of fists and feets colliding on the wooden stumps was the result of the child carrying out his training.

Guy has of course noticed Kuroto approaching by his side, and hearing his question, Guy nodded, “Kuroto… isn’t that kid similar to you and me? We used to be the same, don’t we?”

Hearing what Guy said, tic marks appeared on Kuroto’s forehead, and snorted coldly, “What do you mean similar to me and you? He is only similar to you… I was never like that!”

Guy rubbed his forehead sheepishly, and nodded with a melancholic expression, “Yes… now that I think about it, you were more of a book guy, lazy and absent-minded in the classes, but still the smartest among all of us… To be honest, I never saw you carrying out physical training all that much, and you still grew up to be such an excellent shinobi… you are really talented…”

Kuroto shook his head, “That’s not the case… I was never the talented one…” then added, “It’s just that I knew my upper limits, and also the way to increase those upper limits… and worked on it, so the type of hard work I did was different from everyone else…” then said with a smile, “And for your information, I did train, but the only person who saw me training was Yui… others didn’t…”

Guy smiled, “Hahaha… I guess that’s true…” then looked in the direction of the kid, and added, “But I can’t deny that this kid is very similar to me… Similar to me, he can’t even learn any of the three basic ninjutsu, as a result, he ended up ranking last in this assessment.”

The content of the last assessment was to perform one of three basic ninjutsu.

And Rock Lee is incapable of using Ninjutsu and failed spectacularly, of course, Uzumaki Naruto wasn’t far behind and raked just above him, but thanks to the presence of Rock Lee, Naruto was spared from being last.

Anyway, when the results of the assessment were displayed on the School Notice Board, many children were discouraged, and it required the joint effort of the faculty to reencourage them… Might Guy thought that Rock Lee might also be discouraged, and come here to help the kid get over it, however, what Guy saw surprised him, he didn’t see Rock Lee mewling or crying, instead, he found the kid training…

Of course, this isn’t the first time Guy has observed Rock Lee’s training, however, there is something different about Rock Lee this time, his eyes are filled with determination and perseverance that is beyond his peers. And it is this determination and perseverance that has moved Guy who has experienced a similar situation in his childhood.

Looking at Rock Lee who seemed to be tired as hell and sweating buckets, Kuroto stated, “In fact, his situation is way worse than you… Rock Lee lacks the skill necessary to use Ninjutsu and Genjutsu… However, I have come to notice that he has an unrivaled talent for Taijutsu… if you feel that he is up to it, why don’t you take him under your wing?”

Guy nodded, “I am thinking of doing the same… however, I need to see more… Having been through this experience, I fully understand that ordinary people can not easily stick to the path that my father and I have walked… it takes unmatched struggle… Therefore, I need to be extremely certain about Rock Lee before taking him under my wing.”

Years of same, simple, and monotonous training that is extremely hard upon oneself… Not everyone can endure it. About this, no one can know more than Guy, Guy doesn’t yet know whether Rock Lee can endure taking such a path… this is why, even if he was moved, he didn’t plan to start Rock Lee’s training immediately.

Hearing Guy’s words, Kuroto sighed… He wasn’t too surprised by this.

After a while of silence, Kuroto no longer paid attention to Rock Lee’s matter, and touched on the matter for which he was here, “Guy, I too wish to learn the Eight Inner Gates.”

Guy looked at Kuroto in surprise, “Huh… it’s really strange and surprising.”

Kuroto was confused about Guy’s reaction, and asked, “What’s so strange about it? Can I not learn the Eight Inner Gates?”

Guy waved his hands, “No, no, no… you can, you definitely can learn the Eight Inner Gates… It’s just that…”

Kuroto asked doubtfully, “Just what?”

“It’s just that Kakashi also expressed his intention of wanting to learn the Eight Inner Gates technique…” said, Guy, then asked, “Did you two discuss this with another?”

“Kakashi also wants to learn the Eight Inner Gates? That’s news to me!” muttered Kuroto in surprise.

Guy nodded, and said proudly, “In fact, Kakashi has wanted to learn the Eight Inner Gates for a very long time… but he was too lazy to train all that much, and didn’t want to do anything troublesome… But recently, he found me himself and asked me to teach him the Eight Inner Gates…”

Kuroto nodded in understanding, “I see.”

Kuroto is indeed surprised.

In the cannon, Kakashi was indeed capable of using the Eight Inner Gates, but that was only superficial use and he could open only the first gate, however, in this world, that would no longer be the case.

Thinking so, Kuroto asked Guy, “So, what is your reply? Will you help me?”

Guy laughed out loud, and said with a thumbs up, “Obvious yes! You and Kakashi have finally asked for my help in something… obviously I can’t refuse…! It just so happens that I and Kakashi decided on the time of our first training session tomorrow, join us at that time, and we can get started with both of your training…”

Kuroto immediately agreed, “Alright… I’ll meet at the location.”

Guy nodded, and added with a smirk, “Kuroto… don’t say that I didn’t warn priorly… Training the Eight Inner Gates won’t be easy. Even if you and Kakashi are one of a kind genius, you have to be prepared for the struggle.”
