Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan
Chapter 197: Akatsuki’s Reaction

And if it can be determined that the traitor is an insider, then the scope of the investigation will be narrowed.

All the members of the Main branch can be excluded because they enjoy the power and status brought by the clan, they wouldn’t have any reason to betray the clan.

Even among the members of the Branch division, the number of people who are truly dissatisfied or have a conflict with the Main family wouldn’t be too many, as long as those people are checked one by one, then the traitor can be easily identified.

Hiashi said, “Well, I will keep an eye out on that matter.”

Kuroto nodded, he doesn’t need to mention this matter to Patriarch, as the leader of the Clan, Hiashi-sama would surely give his all to narrow down the traitor.

With that out of the way, Hiashi finally heaved a relieved sigh, and said, “Putting aside that matter, I must express how grateful I am to you Kuroto-Kun, no matter how the situation turned out because of the intervention of bounty ninja, your timely response to resolve the crisis is something I am very grateful for!”

Kuroto shook his head, and said, “This is just my responsibility as a shinobi of the Hyuga Clan, if Hyuga Clan faces hardship, then I have to help out in any way, I can.”

Hiashi smiled, “Be that as it may, I would like to reward you. Speak your desire, as long as it is within an acceptable range, I will see that it is fulfilled.”

Rejecting Patriarch’s good intention would be disrespectful, so Kuroto was silent and thought, ‘what can I ask?’

Hiashi didn’t disturb Kuroto and allowed him to think carefully.

After some consideration, Kuroto spoke, “Hiashi-sama must be aware that during the incident, Yui encountered the bounty-nin, although I am happy that she wasn’t seriously injured, the matter could have gone worse, is it possible for her to be transferred and receive formal training of the main family techniques?”

Hiashi was surprised and questioned, “If I am not wrong, you have mastered the techniques of the main family, have you not?”

Kuroto nodded, he has indeed mastered the techniques, there was no reason to hide it.

“So, why not teach her yourself, there was no reason to ask?” – asked Hiashi.

“I am mostly busy with the Anbu missions and therefore, it is not possible for me to help her in her training, moreover her combat style is a bit varied and quite different from mine, so I am not sure if I will be able to train her if Himeji-sama would be willing to train Yui…”

Hiashi was silent for a while and after a little consideration he finally nodded with a smile, “Alright, Yui’s talent is good, so it would be worth it, I will see that It happens!”

Kuroto bowed to Hiashi gratefully.

Hiashi just smiled and said, “Don’t worry Kuroto-Kun, the times are changing, I think it is also time for the stuck up Hyuga Clan to change, it would be a bit objectionable but I will see that certain things are changed, you needn’t worry, I think Himeji will also be happy to have Yui as her disciple.”

Uchiha Clan

Uchiha Fugaku sat in his study doing some paperwork.

Knock… Knock… Knock…

At this time, a knock came from the door.

“Come in.”

Followed by the command, the gate was opened, and Uchiha Shisui entered the room.

“Patriarch, you wanted to see me?” – asked Shisui.

Fugaku didn’t raise his head from the report he was reading and just said, “Sit down.”

“Yes!” – said Shisui and took his seat.

For a while, there was silence and just the sound of paper scratching resounded as Fugaku was finishing with the paperwork.

Shisui did not disturb, just sat silently.

After he was done with the paperwork, Fugaku lifted his head and observed the injuries on Shisui’s body, he had a worried expression seeing those injuries.

Fugaku was really panicked when he received the news that Shisui suffered a sneak attack from Amatsukami.

Currently, in the Uchiha Clan, only he and Shisui have the Mangekyou Sharingan, if something was to happen to Shisui, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Uchiha Clan that has begun making preparation of a Coup d’état.

After learning that the injuries he suffered were just some frostbite, and nothing too serious, Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was really glad that Shisui’s eyes were not stolen.

‘Perhaps because Sandaime was pretty close that at the time, that the bounty ninja did not have the chance to steal Shisui’s eyes!’ – thought Fugaku as that could be the only reason he thinks of.

As for the real reason, that is obviously different, for one, the ambush part is just made up, but even if it was real, Shisui isn’t much worried, as he has a seal placed on both of his eyes, according to which, if his eyes are removed without deactivating the seal than his eyes would be destroyed. With this even if someone does manage to steal his Mangekyou Sharingan, they wouldn’t be able to use it.

Shisui took Kuroto’s help in putting this seal after much consideration, Kotoamatsukami is a very dangerous technique, therefore, Shisui doesn’t want it to go into the hands of someone who could harm Konoha and the Uchiha Clan.

And only Kuroto and Shisui are aware of this information, not even Kakashi and Guy are aware of this.

Noticing Fugaku’s silence, Shisui asked, “Fugaku-sama!?”

Upon Shisui’s beckoning, Fugaku put aside his thoughts and questioned, “Describe the events that took place, and how did you end up encased in an ice tree!”

Hearing Fugaku’s questioning, Shisui didn’t hesitate and reveal the same information as they have revealed to Sandaime-sama, and finally, he said, “I didn’t expect that all three of them would be so strong and was caught off guard when Homusubi used Mangekyou Sharingan!”

Fugaku nodded, although he didn’t know what Mangekyou Sharingan Dojutsu Shisui has, Fugaku understood the strength that Homusubi has, and no matter how talented, Shisui is still somewhat young, so it’s not strange for him to have lost.

At this time said, “I can be certain that Homusubi is not Shinichi, he is a traitor and most likely the person responsible for controlling the Kyuubi, although I haven’t yet figured out as to who exactly he is, betraying the clan and the village is unforgivable. I have deployed people to collect information about him and keep track of him, as soon as he appears and we get the wind, you will come with me to kill him, letting an unstable figure with Mangekyou Sharingan is highly problematic and must be resolved.”

“Yes!” – Shisui nodded.

“Also, I am quite certain that Sandaime will deploy personnel to collect all the possible intelligence about both Amatsukami and Akatsuki, so keep your eyes and ears open!”

“Yes, I will make sure!” – Shisui agreed.

“And lastly, do not run around carelessly, both Amatsukami and Akatsuki are dangerous, so it would be best to be very careful when dealing with them, lest damage will be irrecoverable, is that clear?” – Fugaku warned.

Shisui again nodded helplessly, “Yes, Fugaku-sama, I will be careful!”

3 days back.

Inside a dark cave somewhere in the Land of Rain.

Several illusionary projections of different members of the Akatsuki Organization could be seen standing in a circle.

This is another one of a rare gathering of all of the Akatsuki members.

Pain, the leader of Akatsuki looked at Kakuzu and Sasori and said flatly, “Tell me what exactly happened, in detail!”

Sasori was silent, he didn’t say a word.

Seeing this Pain turned towards Kakuzu, who spoke, “We encountered two members of Amatsukami last night, at that time, they seem to have offended Konoha and were being chased by Sandaime Hokage and Uchiha Fugaku, along with many Anbu and Uchiha Clan elites…”

Kakuzu described the details of the entire incident.

Everyone was again surprised by the bold actions of Amatsukami and the fact that they escaped the siege of such people.

Pain has to also acknowledge and seriously pay attention to this seemingly new organization called Amatsukami.

Hiruko said, “With ‘Yama,’ ‘Suijin,’ and now this ‘Homusubi’ there are three known members of Amatsukami, right?”

Kakuzu nodded, “Yes!”

Shinno said, “Are members of Amatsukami really so strong?”

Without waiting for Kakuzu to speak, Sasori said coldly, “Are you questioning me?”

Shinno just smiled lightly and did not speak any further.

At this time, Uchiha Shinichi spoke with a smirk, “Do you know why Amatsukami was being pursued by the Hokage and Uchiha Patriarch?”

The eyes of all the members turned towards Uchiha Shinichi.

Seeing that everyone turned towards him, Shinichi said, “I received news that the head ninja of Kumogakure who was the leader of the delegation and was responsible for signing the peace treaty between the two nations was killed by the members of Amatsukami for the bounty on his head, and Hokage not wanting to lose the face of his village anymore personally chased but could neither capture the culprit nor take back the corpse, hahaha… it’s so funny, the Hokage is completely useless… one after other people are using Konoha as their playground and all he does is sitting in his cozy office smoking tobacco… so pathetic!”

Shinichi is obviously very happy that Konoha is facing so many difficulties one after another, the Hokage doesn’t value his people, he should suffer, as for the question of whether he is worried about being destroyed?

Obviously, no. Hyuga Kuroto is part of Konoha, so how could it be destroyed so easily?

Pain was silent for a while and said, “Continue with the missions and keep an eye out for any intelligence of Amatsukami. Hiruko, and Shinno, you both will now enter the Land of Fire, also Sasori and Kakuzu, solve the matter of Orochimaru as soon as possible and then start an in-depth investigation of Amatsukami.”

Hiruko narrowed his eyes, it appeared that he was hesitating slightly but nodded, “Alright!”

Shinno also nodded, “Yes!”

Sasori said, “I need to remodel my body, so it will take some time.”

Kakuzu also said, “I too need to restock a few of my hearts that were damaged!”

Pain knew that Sasori and Kakuzu’s combat power would be affected otherwise so nodded, “Acceptable!”

“One thing I want to warn everyone, I don’t care if you all take it seriously or not, but the members of Amatsukami are very cunning and vicious, as seen in both the encounters we had with them, so it would be best to be careful of this!” – said Kakuzu.

Everyone had a different reaction to this but nobody voiced their opinion.

With that out of the way, one-by-one the holographic projections of the Magic Lantern Body Technique disappeared one after another, and the view of the eternal rain of Amegakure came into the view.

Taking a look at the clouds, Tendo Pain sitting on the tongue of the stone statue stood up and walked inside the room.

Inside, Uchiha Madara wearing the Orange mask stood leaning on the sidewall.

As pain walked in, he questions, “So?”

Tendo Pain didn’t turn to look at Madara, just relayed all the information and said, “Perhaps we have to pay some attention to Amatsukami!”

In Pain’s view, just two members, who aren’t even leaders of that organization played around with Konoha, one of the great shinobi villages; like tools in their hands. The entire pursuing force return empty-handed, moreover Kakuzu and Sasori were involved in the fiasco against their will.

As for how strong is Yama to have shinobi of such capability under his command, Pain knows nothing about it.

As such, Pain has to consider Amatsukami a threat, even if a minor one.

“Should I search them?” – asked a Kunoichi. She has short, straight blue hair with a bun, grey eyes that are cold and devoid of any emotion, along with lavender eye shadows, and a labret piercing. A greyish-blue paper flower clipped on her bun, and fair skin, finally she wore the traditional Akatsuki high neck turtle Akatsuki Cloak.

Pain turned towards the Kunoichi named Konan and shook his head, “It’s not time yet.”

Because Pain has a feeling that he will soon have an encounter with Yama.

Madara pondered a little and said, “I will soon be going to the Land of Fire for a while, the Uchiha Clan needs someone to add fire!”
