Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Chapter 673: A Talk with Tsunade-hime

In order to minimize the adverse effects of Danzo’s ritual and his defection, the Elder Council announced that Shimura Danzo would no longer hold the position of Konoha’s Agent Hokage, at the same time, he was branded as a wanted criminal and a rogue shinobi with a bounty of several hundred million Ryo for killing and injuring hundreds of Konoha Shinobi.

The position of Konoha’s Hokage, as discussed in the meeting, was filled up by Sarutobi Hiruzen who soon took over the command of the Village with Daimyo’s agreement.

And as discussed in the meeting, a team of elite shinobi was led by Elder Koharu to the Land of Lightning in order to negotiate with the Raikage in regards to the handover of Danzo.

On his end, Kuroto wasn’t idle either…

He ordered Godaime Kazekage Pakura and Yondaime Mizukage Yagura to spread out their men all over the Shinobi World, especially inside the Land of Lightning to collect as much information as they can on the movements of Shimura Danzo.

Also, he instructed his former subordinates in Konoha Anbu to use their own channels to collect intelligence on Danzo.

With that done, Kuroto waited and focused on the other important matters.

On Yui’s end, there was soon good news, only a few days after she started pestering Tsunade-hime to teach her the Yin-seal, Tsunade-hime relented and agreed to teach her the Yin-seal. Without a doubt, Senju Tsunade loves her disciples, so, she directly gave Yui the secret scroll of Yin-seal.

Since the Konoha hospital is extremely busy these days, so, Yui didn’t have the time to come home and give Kuroto the scroll he needed at home, therefore, she called him to the Konoha Hospital during her break time, and passed him the scroll…

After receiving the scroll of Yin-seal, Kuroto patted Yui’s head, and said, “Don’t worry, I will keep it safe… now you can go back to taking care of the patients.”

Yui nodded, “Take care Kuroto-kun.” then left the room.

After Yui was gone, Kuroto opened the window of the room, and said while looking up… “She is gone, you can come in.”

With Kuroto’s words, a shadow leaped inside the room.

Whoosh…

As the light of the room fell upon the shadow, their appearance became clear.

A fair-skinned woman with brown eyes and blonde hair, a diamond mark on the center of her forehead, wearing a grey, kimono-style blouse with no sleeves, held closed by a broad, dark bluish-grey obi that matches her pants. Her blouse is closed quite low, revealing a sizeable cleavage.

Looking at her standing before him, Kuroto muttered, “As expected, it’s really you… Tsunade-sama… I wonder what you were trying to do while spying on me and my fiancé.”

Tsunade didn’t answer… she walked closer to Kuroto, and noted his eyes… “You didn’t activate your Byakugan… despite that, you were able to sense my presence even while I was suppressing my chakra… it’s quite commendable.”

Kuroto chuckled, “It seems I was underestimated…”

Tsunade nodded, “That you were…” then she looked at the scroll in Kuroto’s hand, and asked, “So… what’s up with that Scroll… I remember giving it to my disciple… why do you have it?”

Kuroto apologized, “I am sorry about this… I really needed the Yin-seal… So, I asked Yui to help me get it… don’t blame her… she did this for me.”

Tsunade pondered a little, and questioned with a sharp look, “What do you want to do with the Yin-seal? Based on your knowledge of Fuinjutsu, you should already know that the Yin-seal can’t be used by males… “

Faced with Tsunade’s question, Kuroto remained casual, and answered, “Want to study it… I am aware of what exactly is Yin-seal capable of… so I want to use it to solve a problem I have been facing since my childhood. I believe that if I can solve that problem, my strength will improve immensely.”

“I see…” nodded Tsunade in understanding… Then added, “Even if you are telling the truth even if your intentions are pure… your method is not correct… what you are doing is practically stealing someone’s secret Ninjutsu…. And what is the punishment of stealing someone’s secret ninjutsu, this, you as a former Anbu, and the Principal of Konoha Ninja Academy should be very well aware of…”

Kuroto nodded, “Indeed… I am aware…”

Kuroto’s reaction was unexpected, and Tsunade couldn’t help but say, “Aren’t you worried that I might reveal this to the public? Oh… you don’t happen to think that just because you are the principal of the Ninja Academy, you won’t be punished at all… or do you think the Hyuga Clan will be able to protect you?”

After speaking such words, Tsunade expected at least some reaction on his face… but she had to be disappointed… Rather than being intimated or getting worried, Kuroto sighed tiredly and said, “Don’t you think it would save both of us a lot of time if you directly move to your main objective rather than beating around the bush? We both know that there is something you want from me… as for what exactly that is you will have to tell me yourself… I won’t know it unless you tell me.”

Hearing Kuroto’s words and seeing his calmness, Tsunade was annoyed, and questioned, “What makes you think that I want something from you?”

Kuroto answered as a matter of fact, “It’s too obvious!”

Tsunade was confused, “How is it so obvious?”

Kuroto explained, “You didn’t directly take the scroll from me… instead, you engaged me in a conversation and attempted to intimidate me about the consequences and all… It’s obvious you want my help with something… it’s just that you don’t know how to ask for help, or maybe your pride as a Sannin isn’t allowing you to openly ask for help… so you are trying to scare me into doing that thing for you.”

Seeing that her intentions were seen through by Kuroto so easily, Tsunade pouted, “Alright… alright… I need your help with something.”

Kuroto asked, “See… was that so difficult?”

Tsunade glared, “Beat it, kid!”

Kuroto surrendered, “Alright…” then asked, “So, what does Tsunade-sama want me to do for her?”

Remembering the matter, Tsunade’s face darkened, and she explained, “Because of the stupid actions of that bastard Danzo… the dignity of the village is greatly affected… And the most troublesome matter is that the Uchiha Clan that was silent up until now has started to become restless again.”

The Uchiha Clan’s desire for taking over the position of Konoha’s Hokage was never diminished.

It’s just that because of the pressure from eternal enemies such as Akatsuki and Amatsukami, they had to curb their desire and work together with the Hokage faction… This was obviously not their intention but the only choice they were forced to make in order to survive.

But… the current situation doesn’t seem to be all that bad… On the surface, Amatsukami seems to have reached an agreement with the village and is defending the shinobi world and Konoha from the threat of the Akatsuki Organization.

At the same time, due to the destruction of the village, the cruel actions of Danzo, and the deaths of several thousand Konoha shinobi in a very short span of time, the reputation of the Hokage faction is no longer what it used to be in the eyes of the villagers. Although they have chosen Sarutobi Hiruzen again as the Hokage, internally they are also frustrated…

This has presented a wonderful opportunity for the Uchiha Clan, and several Uchiha Clansmen have started to work their minds on this opportunity.

Obviously, this matter wasn’t unnoticed by Kuroto.

Tsunade continued, “I have received reliable information from a source of mine… In their last Clan gathering, the Uchiha Clan began to openly discuss the steps they are going to take to compete for the position of Hokage… Although this is not a problem at this point… however, it can become troublesome over time…”

“And?” asked Kuroto, knowing full well where this is going to go.

Tsunade sighed, “I am going to be straight with you… the village needs the explicit support of the Hyuga Clan!”
