Chapter 112 - – 110 A Fantasy…
For an instant, both Kuroto and Shisui felt that there was something wrong with Uchiha Shinichi.
The reason for such thinking was that according to their understanding, Shinichi was acting quite differently from how his personality is. With Shinichi's bold and straightforward type of personality, it would have been normal if he got a little hysterical and shouted at both of them, or maybe even cry a little with what he has experienced, but he shouldn't be so calm and indifferent!
Shisui couldn't help but feel sadness looking at Shinichi's condition. Undoubtedly, Kurumi's death has had a severe blow on him!
Even Kuroto was a little thoughtful at the moment.
At this time Shisui decided to explain the situation to Shinichi but before he could start, Shinichi waved his hand and said indifferently, "Someone has already told me the entire story, so you don't have to repeat it, please just go away, I want to stay alone!"
Shisui turned to look at Kuroto seeking any help in the matter.
After pondering a little at what Shinichi's said, Kuroto nodded towards Shisui while adding, "Let's go."
Sighing helplessly Shisui followed Kuroto out of Shinichi's cell, after taking one last glance at him, both Kuroto and Shisui left.
Walking out of the Police Station, Kuroto asked Shisui, "When will he be released?"
"The Patriarch only wanted to let Shinichi calm down, so he should be released by tomorrow." – replied Shisui.
Kuroto nodded silently at Shisui's response as both of them began to walk down the street.
While following Kuroto-San's footsteps, Shisui suddenly recalled how Shinichi's temperament has changed drastically and he asked Kuroto in a puzzled manner about something that Kuroto-San said, "Kuroto-San, you mentioned that you wanted to check Shinichi's status, what did you mean by that?"
Waving his hand slightly Kuroto added a perfunctory sentence, "Oh, I just said that casually, as I was just a little curious is all, don't worry too much about it." And as if he remembered something suddenly, Kuroto reminded Shisui, "Be careful during this period and do not forget what I said while we were coming here, if by some chance you encounter the man behind the scenes, do not hesitate to use Kotoamatsukami, understand?"
Although a little sceptical, Shisui nodded nonetheless, it's not like he has any better option, and if what Kuroto-San said is really true, then it's the best they have.
Upon reaching an agreement, Kuroto bid farewell to Shisui, and without wasting any time by wandering around the streets, he directly returned home.
While he visited Shinichi's prison Cell, Kuroto was able to perceive the severe increase of Yin nature within Shinichi, so even if Kuroto isn't sure whether Shinichi really awakened Mangekyou, he still has to think of corresponding countermeasures in advance.
"If I were him, what would I do just after awakening Mangekyou Sharingan?" – while continuing to wash out Natural Energy from his right hand, Kuroto tried to think of Uchiha Shinichi's follow-up actions by putting himself in Shinichi's position, and also considered how he can gain benefit from this whole fiasco.
But after thinking a little, Kuroto discarded putting himself in Shinichi's position.
This is not because he finds it troublesome or anything, but it's just that, grasping the thinking process of an Uchiha is not what others can do, let alone an Uchiha who is highly unstable by having possibly awakened the Mangekyou.
So, changing his course of thinking, Kuroto muttered, "No matter how paranoid his thoughts get, or how cold and indifferent he become, there is one thing that I can be sure of that he would not give up and is revenge, no matter what, he wouldn't give up revenge! Not every Uchiha has an 'Uzumaki Naruto' for him, so revenge is the likely course, therefore, the next thing to consider is who will be his first target?"
…
Next Day.
According to Shisui's guess, after noticing that Shinichi has calmed down quite a lot, Uchiha Fugaku released him from prison.
Uchiha Shinichi, who had gained his freedom didn't cause any trouble anywhere and directly returned to his house.
The whole day passed by silently with nothing changing, Shisui made sure to check up on Shinichi once in the evening and reported his situation to Kuroto.
Nodding at Shinichi's silent behavior Kuroto was more sure of his guess.
Late at night, Shinichi sneaked out of his home dressed in black attire and rushed towards the Naka Shrine.
…
At the Naka Shrine.
The two Uchiha-nin who were responsible for keeping watch at the Shrine were chatting casually.
"By the way, do you think the war with the Cloud escalate again?"
"Humph, does it matter? We Konoha aren't afraid of Cloud Village, if things get worse, then the Uchiha will support Konoha like always!"
"Hahaha… that's true!"
As the two were chatting casually, suddenly the sound of footsteps was heard.
Both of them became a little alert, while one of them muttered with a frown, "It's already so late, who will visit here at this time?"
While both of them looked in the direction of footsteps alertly, the gate of the shrine opened and Uchiha Shinichi dressed in a black vest walked inside.
"Shinichi!!?" – after an exclamation, both of them relaxed their guard and asked in a confused manner, "Shinichi, it's too late already; how come you are visiting here, did Patriarch send you?"
Without bothering to respond, Shinichi just looked at the Uchiha-nin who asked him the question.
Bang…
With just Shinichi's gaze, the person fainted and fell to the ground with a muffled noise.
Another Uchiha-nin noticed that Shinichi didn't cast any attack but just a simple genjutsu, so even if he was more alert, he didn't attack immediately but asked strangely, "What are you doing, Shinichi?"
But before he could get any response, he too fainted just like the other one.
Both of them were put in genjutsu and fainted.
Walking past the two fainted clans-men, Shinichi activated his Mangekyou, and after carefully scanning the surrounding with his eyes, he finally found the entrance to the secret room under a stone brick.
Entering the secret room, he stumbled upon his target 'The Stone tablet'
After a long time passed, Shinichi finally muttered to himself, "Is this the truth you speak of?"
…
A few days later.
"Huh, finally done!" – exclaimed Kuroto in joy as he moved his right hand with a relieved expression.
After several days of hard work, Kuroto was finally able to expel the remaining of the Natural collected in his right hand, therefore, restoring it to its peak state.
With the right hand recovered, his combat ability was back to his peak state.
And dealing with Natural Energy for the past few days also gave Kuroto some understanding of it.
The most critical thing that he has realized is that Natural Energy is way too dangerous.
Thinking of what happened to his hand, Kuroto couldn't help but think, "It's no wonder that there are very few people who have learned Senjutsu!"
Even in the Original Story, even by the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War, there were only a handful of known people to have mastered Senjutsu in the past millennia.
And Kuroto can bet that out of all those whether known or known, most of them would definitely be Asura's reincarnation!
After all, both Hashirama and Naruto were!
Just imagine that even shinobi like Orochimaru couldn't use Senjutsu, from this alone one can imagine just how difficult it is.
So, Kuroto decided to put that aside for now, because he doesn't have any clue on how to advance in Senjutsu, and if he tried rashly, the danger is too high.
Although Kuroto knows that without taking risks it is difficult to experience adventure, he still can't be too carefree about it.
But even if he put aside Senjutsu for now, Kuroto still won't be free as he has had a whole new idea.
From his last combat in the Land of Wind, Kuroto was able to gain more insight into the characteristics of the Tenseigan Chakra Mode and at the same time judge many of his shortcomings.
Using Truth-Seeking Ball, for example, he is able to condense Truth-Seeking Ball in the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, but this is actually a little bit of cheating because by nature Kuroto doesn't have access to all the seven Chakra nature, much less fusion of the seven to give birth to something like Truth-Seeking Balls.
Therefore, Kuroto said that's it's cheating.
Although it doesn't matter when looking at the big picture but sometimes to have a quality improvement, one has to consider and focus on many small details.
So, to completely solve this problem, he has to get down to its route cause!
In short, he has to gain these seven Chakra Natures and fuse them into one; to successfully achieve Kekkei Mora i.e., Bloodline Encompassing.
Being able to do such a thing is obviously next to impossible according to common sense!
This is because, in the current Shinobi World, only Otsutsuki Kaguya's Byakugan and Otsutsuki Hagoromo's Rinnegan can be classified as Kekkei Mora, while all others are Kekkei Genkai or Kekkei Tota.
But Kuroto has come up with a method that is close to fantasy, but if this fantasy can be realized, then it wouldn't be impossible for him to reach Godhood!
However, to bring this dream to fruition, Kuroto needs to make a lot of preparation, many of which are also unrealistic from a certain perspective and it is still unknown whether they can be realized, but that's what a researcher does, right…?
