Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Chapter 38 - - 38 Promise



Kuroto wasn't very concerned about Moryo and the Ghost army because he is aware that although they are undeniably a big threat that cannot be underestimated, but that's all!

There are countless such powerhouses hidden within the ninja world; let's not mention the others; Nagato with the Rinnegan is more than enough to deal with the Moryo and his Ghost army; therefore, even if the Miko-sama fails to successfully seal the Demon; it is impossible for him to truly destroy the shinobi world. ​​

Moreover, Kuroto vaguely remembers, this seemingly weak Miko-sama of the Land of Demons in front of Kuroto actually has mastery over extremely powerful Fuin [Sealing] techniques. If nothing changes, then her self-sacrifice would be more than enough to seal the Demon successfully.

Therefore, Kuroto converged his racing thoughts and started to make his own set of calculations over how he can be benefitted from the situation here.

After a while of brainstorming, he glanced at the little girl beside the Miko-sama and asked, "Is she your daughter Miko-sama, what is her name?"

The little girl didn't wait for the Miko-sama to answer and said in an excited voice, "My name is Shion!"

Miko-sama smiled at her daughter's excitement as watched Kuroto and Shion talk.

Kuroto squatted beside Shion and spoke in a teasing manner, "Oh, your name is Shion-chan? hum you have a pretty nice name!"

Shion-chan stared straight at Kuroto's eyes and asked courageously; "Ninja-nii-chan, your mask is really interesting, can I see it?"

With a smile, Kuroto took off his mask and handed it to Shion-chan.

Shion -chan jumped and ran around the hall in excitement.

Looking at the carefree Shion-chan, a trace of melancholy appeared on Miko-sama's face.

From the conviction that Kuroto could see within her eyes, he understands that she has made up her mind, even if she has to sacrifice herself, she would do it all to seal the Demon.

So, Kuroto asked, "Miko-sama, are you really sure you can seal the demon?

Miko-sama lowered her head and answered: "In order to avoid the threat so that everyone can live safely, I will seal it, definitely!"

"Even at the cost of your life?"

Miko-sama suddenly raised her head in shock at Kuroto's sudden unexpected question. Although she didn't understand why he would ask this but still calmed herself down and nodded her head firmly, "Yes, even at the cost of my life!"

As soon as the Miko-sama nodded; a loud sound echoed.......

BOOOM...

The loud sound was the result of a violent explosion just outside the hall.

There is no doubt that the enemy has infiltrated the Temple.

With this Kuroto was immediately alert, he immediately took his Anbu mask from Shion-chan and stood on guard in front of the Miko-sama and her daughter.

Gradually, the sounds of explosions outside became more frequent, the entire temple was faintly shaking, shouts of the enemy; shouts of guards and the wailing of the wounded were all mixed together in this chaotic situation.

Kuroto was staring at the gate with only one thought repeating in his mind.

'It doesn't matter whether this mission was simply a coincidence or some kind of enticement from the Hokage sama; since I have come to the Land of Demons, I can't afford to waste this unexpected opportunity."

Since Kuroto made up his mind, he whispered lightly to the Miko-sama, "Your daughter is still too young; she isn't yet ready to live without the protection of her mother!"

Miko-sama asked in puzzlement, "What are you trying to say?"

Kuroto said quite frankly, "The Demon isn't exactly as dangerous you think it to be. I would say he is at the level of a tailed beast at best. In the Shinobi world, although there aren't many methods to suppress someone as strong as a tailed beast; but that doesn't mean there aren't none!"

Hearing Kuroto's words Miko-sama seemed to be thinking something.

Without waiting for her to speak, Kuroto directly stated his condition: "I need some special materials from the Land of Swamps; if Miko-sama is willing to help me in obtaining them, I can guarantee your life!"

Arranging some special materials wouldn't be much difficulty for someone of her position; at best it could be considered extra reward or compensation, but she had doubts whether a 14 or 15-year-old teenager really had the ability to go against the Demon Moryo.

But she also doesn't have very many choices, so she asked, "What exactly do you want?"

Kuroto stated his requirement, "Purple Clay!"

Purple Clay is not only expensive that would take him at the very least 3 to 5 years if he were to collect it alone, but it would also bring attention towards Kuroto; as Purple Clay is a really precious material.

But if it were the Miko-sama of the Land of Demons this problem would be solved. With her high-status, the expensive price wouldn't be a trouble and it would also avoid any suspicious attention giving him a sense of assurance over the secrecy of his artificial tailed beast plan.

Hearing that Purple Clay is what Kuroto wants, Miko-sama frowned slightly, "As far as I know Purple Clay can be used for Fuin techniques, what do you need it for?"

Now Kuroto obviously can't answer this question, so he promised once again, "As long as Miko-sama gives her word in helping me obtain Purple Clay, I will guarantee your safety until you successfully seal the Demon, and I don't back down on my promise!"

This promise is not some empty words from Kuroto but he really has the confidence to fulfill it. With his strength, he isn't much worried and if worst comes to worst, he can just bring out his secret cards.

Whether the KazeKage's puppet in his possession or Shisui's Susanoo, both of them have the ability to fight against tailed beast class opponents for a short time, and can also be used against Moryo without any problem.

With him and Shisui keeping the Demon busy; it would get much easier for the Miko-sama to seal it.

Seeing Kuroto's confidence Miko-sama decided to trust in the words of the teenager, after all even if he can't fulfill it, she would only die and death is something she has prepared herself to face long ago.

Therefore, "Alright, I promise you!" was Miko-sama's reply.

Although 'Purple Clay' is precious but not enough to make Miko of the Land of Demons to consider too much or hesitate.

After the deal was settled both parties quiet down tacitly.

Only the ignorant Shion-chan raised her head, stared at her mother for a while then turned towards Kuroto, not understanding why the both of them went quiet all of a sudden.

When suddenly, several shinobi in white robes rushed into the main hall of the Temple.

Kuroto didn't hesitate and directly used Rein Wheel rotation to attract them towards him and killed them instantly with precise Gentle Fist Strikes, this whole process only took a few breaths, as soon as traces of panic started to appear on Miko-sama's face the enemy shinobi were already dead.

Miko-sama who couldn't even see the enemy shinobi's appearance was taken aback and finally exclaimed, "You really are an excellent ninja!"

"Since I have made a promise then I would naturally do my best to keep Miko-sama safe." After a short pause, Kuroto asked again, "I hope Miko-sama can keep our agreement confidential!"

Miko-sama nodded gently, "Don't worry I give you my word!"

As more time passed, the outside noises started to calm down.

Not long after, the shinobi of Konoha, Sand, and Rock returned to the hall of the Temple one-by-one under Pakura's lead, "Most of these cultists have been eliminated by us, the leftover won't be enough to pose a threat."

The captain of Rock's unit said, "Miko-sama, we should depart now."

Kakashi also nodded silently.

Kuroto glanced at the group of people, they all looked a little tired but none of them was injured, and this is also normal considering that the enemy shinobi were only genin or chunin level at best while Konoha, Sand, and Rock shinobi are all elites of their own villages.

Aside from the enemy's high chakra volume provided by Moryo; all their techniques are only chunin or genin class, so it is natural for them to suffer a crushing defeat.

Suddenly Kuroto thought of something and asked, "What happened to their leader of the cultists?"

Guy laughed heartily, "Their leader managed to escape but I don't think he would survive considering he was pierced by Kitsune's Chidori!"

Hearing Guy mention this Kuroto vaguely remembered it was remnants of cultists that triggered the resurrection of Moryo in the main series, but he isn't sure whether the leader of the remnants in the future is the same as the current one.

But it was no use thinking about it anymore, who knows what might happen in the future; after all his presence here will keep affecting the events, and as he starts getting more and more involved with the happenings, the future might be a totally different picture then what Kishimoto-sensei painted…
