Nomu Creation

In the cave, Kurogiri dismissed the clone that was in the holding cell, and he realized that he needed to create his own Quirks and Nomu before resting. Since he no longer had to worry about running away or anything else, he could focus on his task. So, he sat in a meditation pose and reached his soul space to feel the energy collected from the captured ninjas. As he reviewed the energy level of each ninja, he was aware that each person had a different energy level. He could deduce that because the feeling of the Third Hokage's energy which was beyond anything he felt so far.

While he felt the energy, Kurogiri instinctively knew how much he needed to create a Quirk and how strong it could be. From the amount of energy he had now, he determined that he could create four medium-strength Quirks or eight basic-level Quirks or two high-powered Quirks. Since he had to overload the body with at least two Quirks, he eliminated the high-end ones. Thus, he decided to create two medium-strength Quirks, and four low level quirk each of which would be useful in different situations.

Kurogiri began the process of creating the Quirks by focusing on the energy he had collected. He drew on this energy to create a new energy field around him. With focus and concentration, he felt the energy around him changing to his desire.

The first quirk he created was the telepath quirk, which he intended to use for sending instructions to his Nomu over a distance. Upon creating it, Kurogiri could sense the sensation in his head and had an instinctual knowledge of how to use it.

The second quirk Kurogiri created was the hologram quirk, which he believed would have several practical uses. Similar to the telepath quirk, Kurogiri could only feel a sensation in his head without any physical manifestation. By using this quirk, he was able to hide the entrance to the cave.

The third quirk he was going to make was the polygraph quirk, which would aid in future interrogations. He planned to use this quirk until he had enough energy to create a brainwash quirk.

 Lastly, he intended to create a search quirk to track people and be aware of his surroundings. After creating this quirk, he used it to search for anyone within a twenty-five-meter range, finding no one he was relieved.

With these four low-level quirks that improved his survivability, Kurogiri was now able to focus on creating two quirks for his first Nomu, starting with the Dupli-arms.

Using his Nomu cells, Kurogiri inserted them into the ninja's unconscious body, creating extra appendages growing out of the shoulder area, connected by skin webbing to increase the fighting potential of his Nomu.

During the process of creating the quirk, the ninja woke up from extreme pain and tried to scream, but Kurogiri quickly made a clone to cover the ninja's mouth and stop the scream. With his clone holding the ninja still, he focused on making the next quirk, while the previous transformations assimilated and the Nomu processing completed.

The last quirk he created for the Nomu was the Body Bulk quirk, which would allow to grow in size three to five times, making it an even better protector for Kurogiri. The combination of the two quirks blended well together, increasing the Nomu's potential. After the process was complete, the newly transformed Nomu stood up, waiting for instructions from Kurogiri.

Seeing his new subordinate, Kurogiri was proud and decided to sleep, allowing his clone to operate the hologram that blocked the cave. He used telepathy to relay instructions to the Nomu to keep an eye out and protect him from any threats while he slept. Lying down on the ground, Kurogiri realized that he needed an energy saver quirk to avoid feeling exhausted. With that last thought, he went to sleep, knowing that his clone could operate with basic instructions like the Nomu.

Meanwhile, back at the former lab, the Anbu had extinguished the fire around the sinkhole and started investigating it. They discovered that the previous team's items were not fully destroyed, confirming that the team had been there. They decided to continue their investigation to find anything that might have been hidden.

 In the village, an Anbu from the prison area rushed to the Hokage's office to report the disappearance of Kurogiri from his cell. He entered the office and knelt in front of the Third Hokage, reporting urgently, "Hokage-sama, the creature has disappeared from his cell."

The Anbu who reported the disappearance of Kurogiri was surprised by the Third Hokage's lack of surprise. But the Third Hokage had a hunch that Kurogiri was not here to prove himself as a non-threat but had come to gather information and distract Konoha. Although he was not pleased, he knew that Kurogiri's actions were only contributing to the lack of peace in Konoha.

The village was still recovering from the Nine Tails attack, which happened only four years ago. Now with the loss of four chunin and two special Jonin, the Hokage couldn't afford to waste any more manpower. He only sent that squad of chunin and special Jonin after Kurogiri because all their Jonin were occupied with other missions to prove their capabilities hadn't dropped since the attack.

Although he had told Kurogiri that Konoha would not let him get away, the Hokage knew that capturing him would be more challenging than he had let on. Despite his worries, the only Shinobi he could spare to go after Kurogiri was Kakashi. But he couldn't do it without full confidence in Kakashi's abilities, especially since the village had just lost a squad of six.

After dismissing the Anbu, the Hokage was left alone with his thoughts in his office. Meanwhile, Danzo had received the same news from one of his operatives and decided to share this information with his former partner, Orochimaru.

Danzo knew that once Orochimaru found out about this creature created through his effort, he would stop at nothing to obtain it, even if it meant working with Danzo.

After coming to this conclusion, Danzo sent out one of his operatives to reach Orochimaru's last known location, the Land of Grass. Danzo sat back waiting for results, hoping to have his former partner on his side in obtaining the creature.

The ninja sent by Danzo quickly made his way to the Land of Grass, leaving the information in the designated location with the Root secret sign for the message. Hours later, a ninja dressed in purple with a rope around their waist arrived at the spot and received the message.

 The ninja returned to the base and entered the door that led underground, where Orochimaru's assistant met them. The assistant, a short blonde boy with glasses, took the message from the ninja and returned to the lab with Orochimaru.

Orochimaru, recognizing the insignia on the message, knew it had come from Root and Danzo himself. He opened the scroll and started reading the message, his pupil contracted, and a creepy smile with his long tongue came out, licking the air. Orochimaru was excited about this creature that he had actually managed to create through his experiment before being chased off. He turned to his assistant, Kabuto, and showed him the information.

Orochimaru instructed Kabuto to spread the information to his followers and tell them that if they could capture or kill the creature and bring it to him, he would grant them strength. After receiving the assignment, Kabuto left the lab to get the information to Orochimaru's followers.

Orochimaru chuckled to himself as he watched Kabuto leave, knowing that with this creature in his hands, his goal of immortality would be closer than ever. As the creator of the creature, Orochimaru would not let it go and would unlock all of its secrets.

And if he could not unlock the secrets of its body, he would take the creature's body for himself. Little did Kurogiri know, sleeping in the cave, that one of the biggest predators of the ninja world was after him for his body.

The presence of Kurogiri had caused a lot of changes in the Land of Fire, and once Konoha releases their new Bingo book, the world would know about Kurogiri's existence.

However, what the other nations did not know yet was how they treated Kurogiri would determine how he treated them. Kurogiri believed in returning kindness with kindness but would show his enemies the true wrath of the Demon King.
