Chapter – 91 Commencing the Project

After the three members of Team-11 left the Hokage office, Danzo stood up and slowly walked towards the Hokage's desk with grim eyes and stated, "Hiruzen, it's time to decide!"

Sandaime shook his head, "The matter has not reached such a point yet!"

"Have you not considered how severe the losses of Konoha would be if they take the initiative?" after a short pause, Danzo urged, "Leave the matter in my hands, and I will make sure the damage is kept minimal."

Taking a puff of smoke, Sandaime stated, "Have you not learned anything from the turmoil of the Mist Village? I will handle the matter of the Uchiha Clan in the future, you don't need to interfere in this anymore."

Even Danzo was left speechless when Sandaime mentioned the turmoil of the Mist Village.

It wouldn't be wrong to say that the Mist Village has completely lost its strength to be considered one of the five great Shinobi Village.

Therefore, no matter how desperate the situation gets, Konoha can't afford to have a tragedy like that with its current troubles.

With a slight hesitation, Danzo said again, "Hiruzen, you can't let Uchiha Shisui stay in the Anbu. His strength has already surpassed what you or I can suppress; if he chooses to side with the Uchiha Clan; you will be in danger."

Sandaime nodded this time.

The reason why Sandaime readily agreed to Danzo's proposal of suspending the entire Team-11 was also because of the fear of Uchiha Shisui's strength.

Because of the story pulled off by Kuroto and Shisui, the Konoha Council now believes that the tragedy of the Valley at the Land of Lightning was Uchiha Shisui's doing and Hyuga Kuroto didn't have any part in that at all.

Therefore, the members of the Konoha Council are more vigilant of Uchiha Shisui. Coupled with his ability, Kotoamatsukami has raised the threat level of Uchiha Shisui even higher in their eyes.

In their beliefs, whether it is Sandaime himself or Danzo, there is no possibility of suppressing Uchiha Shisui in one-to-one combat.

And since the Anbu members under Hokage have the authority to directly enter and exit the Hokage building freely. Therefore, if Uchiha Shisui chooses to side with the Uchiha Clan, then one fatal attack is all it will take to kill Sandaime.

Although Hiruzen believes Shisui wouldn't betray the village, as the Hokage, he can't afford to take such risks.

This is why he had no choice but to suspend the entire Team-11.

A week later, before the end of the two months, Kuroto returned to the village.

Upon returning he got to know of the suspension of Team-11 which didn't surprise him much, as the position of Anbu was no longer so important for him.

From the very beginning, Kuroto's purpose of joining the Anbu was to learn some advanced Jutsu, after that he would have naturally resigned from the Anbu department even if Sandaime didn't suspend him.

Now that he has already learned the entire layout of the Hokage Building, the details of security, and most of the information of all the Anbu members, he is confident in sneaking around if necessary.

Even the fact that he served in the Anbu department has been added to his resume. So, continuing any further in the Anbu would only be a restriction for him, which is not something Kuroto wants to be put under.

Although Anbu ninjas have all sorts of privileges, they are also subject to many restrictions.

For example, ordinary ninjas can leave the village after receiving a task at the task center without any restrictions, unless of course, there is some sort of mandatory task assigned by officials.

This is not the case with the Anbu ninja, all the tasks are given under Hokage-Sama's directive, their every movement is under the directive of Hokage-Sama. They must also report anything and everything to Hokage-Sama otherwise the consequences would be similar to that of now. In short, Anbu ninjas are too bound to the village.

And such a thing may not be a problem for ordinary Konoha Shinobi, but it is very troublesome for Kuroto, so the identity of being an Anbu ninja does more harm to him than good.

Therefore, he didn't care about the suspension.

But what confused him a little was why was the entire Team-11 suspended?

Thinking a little, Kuroto guessed that it was probably because of the fear the Konoha Council has because of Shisui's abilities and strength.

Since he guessed the possible cause, Kuroto threw aside this matter altogether.

Konoha will not make any move against the Uchiha Clan until the peace talks with Cloud Village are finished.

So, in this period Kuroto has to focus on the tailed beast project that will help him improve his strength by solving the low Chakra problem.

After all, strength is the most important factor in the shinobi world, if you are as strong as Madara, then no matter what anyone thinks or intends to do, you can single-handedly solve all the issues.

For the next few days, Kuroto spent some normal days along with the rest of the Team-11 in training and sparring sessions, interacted with some of the clansmen of the Hyuga Clan, and also spent private time with Yui, the purpose of this was to let everyone in the village know that he has returned.

Danzo didn't send anyone else to monitor him these days, and Kuroto didn't bother to investigate the possible reasons.

After Kuroto was done with all this, he isolated himself at his house to finally commence the Artificial Tailed Beast Plan.

Now he needs to create the shell or better yet the core of the tailed beast.

The material used for this is Purple Clay, as described in the Scroll given to him by Orochimaru.

Kuroto has already done several experiments previously and the result did indicate that the Purple Clay indeed has a very strong ability to isolate Chakra. It is the perfect material for making the core of the artificial tailed beast.

… Byakugan…

After scanning around his house to confirm that no one was spying on him, Kuroto took out the scroll that stored the Purple Clay, given to him by the Miko-Sama.

Looking at the pile spread in front of him, Kuroto opted to shape the core into a simple circular shell.

Choosing a simple round shape is to make the structure as simpler as possible for better stability.

After all, the artificial tailed beast is nothing more than a chakra battery for him, if he opts to make a fancy appearance like that of Ichibi or Kyuubi, there is a probability that the stability of the structure would decrease.

With this in his mind, Kuroto started to mold the Purple Clay as per the procedure recorded in the scroll.

One thing to note is that the molding has to be completed without a break, i.e., Kuroto has to complete it overnight, neither can he pause midway nor are any mistakes allowed.

Even the slightest of flaws will affect the stability of the structure, which might directly burst the core while filling in the chakra of the Dragon Vein in it.

For this reason, Kuroto directly activated the Tenseigan, and using the insight of the Tenseigan, he continued with the task.

He has to control the chakra extremely meticulously to avoid any after issues.

'It's accurate to say that when you do something with full dedication and focus, the passage of time only become faster'

By the time he was finished molding the shell, there was already dawn outside.

With a slight yawn, Kuroto looked at the time, as he deactivated the Tenseigan.

Spending the whole night in the molding process, and because of continuous Chakra consumption, Kuroto was really tired now.

After sealing the core of the artificial tailed beast that he molded in a scroll, Kuroto got up and stretched his waist to refresh himself while looking at the rising sun of the morning sky…
