Chapter 724: Dojin’s True Identity

Looking at Karin’s bright smile, Kuroto muttered to himself, “It’s just a pair of spectacles.”

Karin just smiled and remained silent, as she carefully put the spectacles inside her pocket.

For Kuroto it’s just a pair of spectacles, however, for her, they are extremely precious, and she doesn’t want to lose them at any cost.

Seeing Karin’s action, Kuroto shook his head, then without taking care of that matter, Kuroto started to clean the surgical instruments as he ordered her, “If you feel any discomfort from those eyes, immediately inform me.”

Even if Kuroto has confidence that Karin will be able to adapt to those eyes because of her Uzumaki bloodline, he is not completely certain, there is always a possibility of rejection, besides, these are Danzo’s eyes that are a result of Kekkei Genkai Absorption ritual, Kuroto is somewhat worried and he doesn’t wish to take any risk.

Karin nodded then looked at herself in the mirror, as soon as she did, she was surprised and immediately asked Kuroto, “Kuroto-sama, why have these eyes turned black? They were red a while ago.”

Kuroto answered, “That’s how Sharingan is when deactivated.”

Karin asked curiously, “In that case, how do I activate these eyes?”

Kuroto shook his head, “You can’t.” and explained after a pause, “At least not now. Because of some reason, the visual prowess of these eyes has been exhausted and they have entered a dormant state. I suggest that you don’t try to stimulate them for the time being.”

Karin nodded, “I see.” She was a bit disappointed.

Noting her disappointment, Kuroto said with a smile, “Don’t worry, with your physique, these eyes should recover their exhausted Visual Prowess within a few months, when that happens, maybe you will be able to use them, until that happens, continue with your training.”

Karin nodded, “Okay.”

Kuroto smiled and added, “Karin… I have high expectations from you because of your potential, so work hard on your training so that your future achievements are as good as I imagine them to be.”

Karin nodded with a determined expression, “I will work hard and I swear to never disappoint your expectations.”

Kuroto then gave Karin a few other instructions that she has to follow with these new eyes and then sent her away.

As soon as Karin went away, Kuroto was going to busy himself with something, however, the sudden cawing of a crow stopped him in his tracks.

Kuroto walked outside the laboratory and took the scroll brought by the crow. After taking it out of the holster tied at the Crow’s feet, he unfolded it to read what was written inside it.

As soon as he did that, his expression became incredible.

The scroll was sent by Yagura, in the scroll that he sent, Yagura briefly mentioned what he did to follow Kuroto’s instructions in order to create the illusion that Shimura Danzo is still alive. He also led many Kirigakure Shinobi all the way to the Land of Wind while chasing Danzo.

Obviously, Yagura’s actions didn’t go unnoticed by Konoha and Suna, however, the two villages only sent a few men to keep watch on Yagura and his unit.

Of course, all this information about Yagura’s actions is not what shocked Kuroto. The real reason he was taken aback is the other information that Yagura sent, and it is about everything that Danzo has done in the past week.

Fighting the Akatsuki Organization, Kusagakure Shinobi Village, Kumogakure’s AB combination, and much more.

After reading all this, Kuroto couldn’t help but mutter, “Thankfully Danzo didn’t encounter the real body of Nagato, if that were to happen, then there is no way I would have managed to obtain this new pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.”

Danzo may have defeated Nagato’s Six Paths of Pain however, Kuroto didn’t even consider the possibility that Danzo could have managed to win against Nagato. The result would have been instant death for Danzo, just like it happened when Kuroto fought Danzo using his main body.

“At the same time, I should consider myself to be very fortunate that Danzo directly went to Kirigakure and made it easier for me to deal with him, if not for that, the situation would have become a lot more complicated as Akatsuki was also targeting Danzo.” Muttered Kuroto with a thoughtful expression.

In addition to being fortunate, Kuroto is also quite worried about Akatsuki Organization becoming active again and thought to himself with a worried sigh, “I just hope that they either stop and go back to the Land of Iron or limit their actions to hunting Danzo, otherwise, I don’t know what would happen.”

…

Land of Frost

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

With a sound breaking through the wind, one after another, several figures wearing the traditional Akatsuki Organization cloak appeared on a beach and stood behind Nagato.

Seeing all the members have gathered, Nagato––while continuing to gate at the endless sea––asked in an indifferent tone, “Did anyone find something?”

Uchiha Shinichi shook his head, “On my side, it was just a trap, Danzo’s tracks went up to the Land of Moon, however, they were made only by a Wood Clone, real Danzo was never there.”

Kakuzu also said from the side, “Same on my side, I followed Danzo’s tracks up to the Land of Demons, however, it was only a Clone.”

Similarly, one by one all the members of the Akatsuki Organization shook their heads and gave the same reason, “It was just a clone.” Even Konan was no different, although she was keeping track of Danzo’s movements, however, at some point, Danzo switched with his clone without her paper birds noticing, so she too lost track of Danzo.

After a while of silence, Nagato while staring at the sea, “Danzo crossed so many countries, and in each country, he left fake tracks that went all the way to some faraway nation… All this proves that Danzo is being really cautious… I wonder… where could he have gone?”

At this time, Konan asked, “What about the Land of Water… could he have gone there?”

Nagato said with a thoughtful expression, “It’s possible. That country is not on the mainland, it is relatively closed, and has no one powerful enough to threaten him, it can become a good hiding place for Danzo.”

When the other Akatsuki members heard Nagato’s words, they felt that he made sense. Danzo could have hidden on some uninhabited island of the Land of Water, and no one will be able to find him.

“What to do? Should we go to the Land of Water and uproot Danzo out of his hiding?” Just when Nagato was pondering over what to do, suddenly White Zetsu leaned out of the ground and reported to Nagato, “Nagato, we found something that you should know… It’s about Amatsukami… We were able to find the true identity of their newest member!”

“What?!” Everyone including Nagato was taken aback by White Zetsu’s words.

Zetsu nodded, and explained, “We fought the newest member of Amatsukami, he called himself Dojin, although we weren’t able to capture him, we managed to identify who is he based on his fighting style and ninjutsu that he used in the battle.”

Nagato’s expression became solemn as he questioned, “Who is he?!”

Zetsu answered with a smirk, “It’s Deidara of Iwagakure, and I have confirmed that Deidara is in Iwagakure right now.”

As soon as he heard Zetsu’s answer, Nagato immediately ordered all the members standing on the beach, “Go, we are going to the Land of Earth!”
