Chapter 289: Kuroto’s Beacon

The original disgusting appearance of Yomi was beyond recovering after being cut into two pieces by the Golden Chakra Sword.

Kuroto couldn't even bother to look at him, as he felt nauseating despite the resistance he has towards seeing gross things, this 'thing' was way-way-way past the level of something bearable, unable to bear any more, Kuroto dispersed the Golden Chakra Sword, and was now in the process of preparing Azure Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, to completely shred this 'thing' into uncountable fragments.

Although Yomi is dying slowly, the faster he disappears the better, and because this guy knows Kuroto's secret of being 'Yama' so Kuroto doesn't want this 'thing' to ever come back, therefore, Kuroto wants to be extra sure.

And just when the Azure Wheel Reincarnation Explosion was near completion, 'Yomi' or whatever sanity was left of him, seem to have instinctively felt the danger coming from that Azure spiral ball in Kuroto's hand and shouted, "Damn it… even if I am going to die, I will take you to hell with me!"

Kuroto's face sank, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

Boom… Boom… Boom… Boom… Boom… Boom… Boom… Boom… Boom… Boom… Boom… Boom…

As soon as Yomi's voice fell, the entire temple was engulfed in a series of destructive explosions!

And because the temple was surrounded by an enchantment barrier, forming a confined space, therefore, the impact of the explosion did not disperse to the surroundings so the village where not even a single soul was alive anymore was not damaged but because the energy of the explosion could not be distributed so the waves and waves of explosion continued, repeatedly destroying everything.

And this increased the power of explosions dozens of times.

It was only after a few minutes that the explosions stopped, and the earth stopped trembling.

As the entire temple was destroyed, so was the Fuinjutsu destroyed with the temple, as such the enchantment around the temple also began to wither away, and finally dissipated completely.

And as the enchantment dispersed, smoke, dust, fire, and heat finally escaped out of the enchantment barrier and spread in the surroundings.

After a while the scene finally became visible.

And the place where the once magnificent and ancient temple stood was now nothing more than a ruin. There was hardly a single wall standing.

And at the center was a deep pit that spread for hundreds of meters in horizontal radius and about a hundred meters depth.

And at the very center of the pit lay a sphere pitch black in color.

There was not even a single crack in the black sphere, its surface extremely smooth.

Click…

At this moment the sphere suddenly disappeared, to reveal Kuroto's figure.

If Yomi were to look at Kuroto's current state then he will be shocked and completely out of his mind, that's because, the explosion did not even touch Kuroto's clothes, much less kill him.

Coming out unscathed, Kuroto observed his surroundings.

Truth-Seeking Orbs undoubtedly protected him.

It must be known that the temple was protected with tens of thousands of seals, and if such a temple could not withstand the explosion it can be understood just how much damaging they were, if not for the defensive power of truth-Seeking Orbs that protected him from the explosions, otherwise, Kuroto would have been a goner.

"Fortunately, I was cautious enough to sneak here at night, otherwise, if I sneaked here in daylight and Yomi was able to sense me then I wouldn't even have had the chance to have a talk with Miko-sama's spirit, much less retrieving those items that have to be passed to Shion-chan." – muttered Kuroto with a relieved sigh.

Under such an explosion, Miko-sama's spirit wouldn't have survived, Kuroto can be sure of this.

After scanning the surroundings Kuroto can only sigh at the destruction.

The temple which has been standing here for over a millennium was destroyed, the temple had unprecedented historical value, knowledge of several generations along with countless other things which also included thousands of years of inheritance were also destroyed along with the temple. And Kuroto will never have the chance to learn about them, and this made him sad.

Shaking his head helplessly, Kuroto focused on the matter at hand, and after carefully confirming that this time every trace of Yomi was really gone along with the explosion, he too disappeared from the ruins.

Kuroto has bigger troubles to solve, so he can't waste his time crying over the spilled milk.

From Yomi's words, it has been confirmed that Shinno and Hiruko have long left towards Konoha and should be arriving or have probably arrived there, and if they have arrived in Konoha then things are going to be too troublesome for Shisui to deal alone.

The thought of Yui and Shion being present at his home, and Shinno going towards them there to swallow down Shion really scared him. Kuroto rarely feels anxiety about something but thinking of what could happen to Yui if Shinno reached his home really terrifies him.

Rushing all the way, Kuroto arrived at a forest in the Land of Demons.

After a bit of groaning and observation, Kuroto nodded, "This place should be fine."

The distance from here and Konoha is too much, and no matter how fast he rushes or flies all the way using the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, it would take at least forty-eight hours for Kuroto to reach Konoha, and he does not have so much time at his hands.

Therefore, Kuroto decided to make a bold attempt and use soul travel to Konoha, all he has to do is to use 'Tenseigan Soul Descend' and transfer his soul to one of his clone bodies kept inside his secret laboratory.

Because the soul travels in the form of Chakra so the speed will be extremely fast, moreover ordinary people won't be able to see his soul, so there wouldn't be any need to avoid commercial routes, villages, and towns, just fly towards Konoha in a straight line.

But this kind of soul travel is not without its own problems.

While his soul is gone, Kuroto's body will be unprotected and will be vulnerable, it could be discovered by other passing by ninjas, or may even become breakfast or dinner for some animal.

After groaning a little, Kuroto bit his finger, printed the hand seals, then pressed his hand on the ground, "Summoning Technique!"

Poof…

With a cloud of white smoke, a huge figure appeared in front of Kuroto.

"What… how did this pig become so big!?" – Exclaimed Kuroto looking at OkinaButa whose body was easily over ten meters, and this shocked Kuroto.

While Kuroto was shocked, OkinaButa looked at his surrounding with a blank face, he shook his huge head, trying to figure out how he suddenly appeared here.

"Oi, Okina, here-here…" – Kuroto shouted, "Look below, below!"

Prompted by Kuroto's call, OkinaButa lowered his head and saw Kuroto with a confused expression, wondering how Kuroto became so small.

Kuroto has suddenly become so small, so OkinaButa hesitated to step forward because he did not want to crush Kuroto into a meat paste.

Kuroto asked, "You recognize me, right?"

After a bit of groaning, OkinaButa bent his head and carefully sniffed Kuroto's scent, after confirming that it was indeed Kuroto, OkinaButa nodded.

Kuroto sighed and used his sword to cut a big hole inside a nearby tree, the hole was of the size that could accommodate his body inside, and Kuroto did not forget to add several sealing techniques to conceal the hole. After doing this, Kuroto said, "Guard my body here, don't let any beasts come near the tree."

OkinaButa nodded and sat next to the tree.

With OkinaButa's nod, Kuroto entered the tree hole, and used 'Tenseigan Soul Descend.'

Suddenly Kuroto's soul came out of the body and hovered in the air above OkinaButa's body.

Then Kuroto **In the soul form** closed his eyes and tried perceiving various chakra reactions. Kuroto found that he was able to sense that in addition to the Tenseigan Chakra present in his body hidden in the tree hole, and the light Tenseigan Chakra present inside OkinaButa that was very difficult to perceive, Kuroto was also able to sense the Tenseigan Chakra sealed inside the Kazekage puppet present inside his secret laboratory.

And this Tenseigan Chakra became Kuroto's beacon light that will guide him to Konoha.
