“Did he start already?” – Kuroto muttered while looking at the ninjas rushing towards the Hokage office.

If there really is some disturbance within the village at this time, then it proves that Kuroto’s guess that Uchiha Shinichi who was a nobody in the original series might have awakened the Mangekyou in this time & space is indeed correct.

Although the fact that Shinichi acted so quickly still surprised Kuroto.

After all, whether getting used to the sudden increase in strength or to gather all sorts of intelligence and make other preparations, all requires quite some time, and Kuroto doesn’t believe that Shinichi could have prepared everything in such a short period.

But the fact that Shinichi still acted, must mean that either he is doing it all recklessly without complete preparation or he has Obito’s support behind him.

While Kuroto was busy analyzing, Yui also noticed that something was wrong and walked to the terrace and asked Kuroto, “Kuroto-Kun, what happened?”

While lightly stroking Yui’s hair, he spoke in a gentle tone to ease her nervousness, “The Village is heavily guarded and Hokage-Sama is also present in the Village, what can happen with him around? Don’t worry about it.”

“But what about them?” – asked Yui in a worried tone.

Looking in the direction of Village, Yui also noticed that there were still some ninjas rushing towards the Hokage Building, and she couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.

For her who has experienced the third Shinobi War and the follow-up Kyuubi’s rebellion, even a little bit of disturbance in the village would produce anxiety and instinctive fear, and the situation just now seems to be turning exactly what fears her.

“Don’t worry, nothing’s going to happen, perhaps Sandaime-Sama ordered an urgent task!” – while casually joking around, he added, “Now listen, you will go to your home and rest, with the presence of Patriarch and Hizashi-Sama, the clan will be safe, and after checking around the situation I’ll be joining you, understand?”

Seeing Kuroto’s look, Yui suddenly held his sleeve and said quickly, “Please, l-let’s go to the Clan together, Kuroto-Kun, please…”

Kuroto noticed that Yui was being quite emotional and feeling a little uneasy, so bringing her into a gentle hug, Kuroto patted her back to ease her nervousness and said softly, “It’s alright Yui, haven’t I already promised that I would always come back to you? No matter how far I go, I will always come back to you… so rest assured…”

Kuroto’s promise did ease her a little and she finally nodded.

Seeing that Yui agreed, Kuroto explained, “Although the squad I am part of is under a temporary suspension, as an Anbu direct under Hokage-Sama, I should remain on stand-by for any notice.”

Yui also knew of Kuroto-Kun’s identity as an Anbu Shinobi so she nodded in understanding.

“Shadow Clone Technique!”

Kuroto created 2 clones and sent one clone to escort Yui to her home, while he left his other clone at his home and he disguised himself in a black cloak coupled with a black mask, to cover his entire face.

With his cover set, Kuroto immediately swallowed the fruit of the Snake Grass.

This fruit is nothing too powerful, but it can effectively change the smell of a person and therefore make any method of tracking using odor useless.

Kuroto was once ambushed by the Rock Beheading unit because of his smell and the other time found by the Cloud shinobi in the Land of Hot water because of being tracked due to the odor, so to not repeat that mistake again, he searched for a method to hide his odor.

And now he makes sure to have this fruit every time he moves to hide his tracks.

After everything was ready, Kuroto’s figure disappeared with a flicker in the night.

First Goal is Hokage Building, only after confirming what actually happened can he proceed to take personal actions.

After easily sneaking into a house with a vintage view of the movements occurring around the Hokage Building, Kuroto observed the entire situation with his Byakugan all while the owner of the house has fainted peacefully on his bed.

The lights in the Hokage Building were brightly lit, with dozens of ninjas already gathered at the square, with more coming from time to time, indicating that the situation was really serious.

Moving his gaze from the square outside to the Hokage building, Kuroto was able to discern that at least 10 Anbu squads have already been assembled and waiting for the order.

Tapping his chin while analyzing every detail, Kuroto thought to himself, ‘There was no attack at the Hokage Building must mean that Uchiha Shinichi’s target for revenge should be the base of the Root!’

Sandaime-Sama has already assembled so many elite ninjas, but he still did not order for civilians to take refuge.

From this alone, it can be judged that Shinichi’s actions are independent with no involvement of the Uchiha Clan in the rebellion, therefore these ninjas assembled by Hokage-Sama should be called for monitoring and guarding against any possible attacks from the Uchiha Clan.

Otherwise, a single Uchiha’s rebellion wouldn’t make Sandaime-Sama call for so much combat force; unless Sandaime knows of Shinichi’s great secret…

After understanding this, Kuroto again disappeared with a flicker and arrived at the base of the Root Unit.

Upon arriving at the Root Base, Kuroto found that the guards at the entrance were already fallen in the pool of blood.

“His goal really is Root!” – muttered Kuroto silently as this confirmed Kuroto’s guess.

After nodding to himself, Kuroto also entered the Root Base without any delay.

The silence at the Root Base was deafening, with the smell of fresh blood permeating the air.
The situation clearly narrates a very tragic tale of several battles that must have occurred here not very long ago.

Following the underground passage, Kuroto stepped into the deepest part of the root base.

On the way here; he didn’t find even a single Root Shinobi alive, each and every single one of them was dead by a sword cut, even when he removed their masks to check the situation, Kuroto discovered that there was no extra expression on their faces.

This implied that either they all died under the effect of Genjutsu or that they couldn’t even respond to Uchiha Shinichi’s attack speed, that is to say, Shinichi was too fast for them to even notice.

“That guy’s strength has improved to such a degree?” – muttered Kuroto as he raised his guard, the degree of Shinichi’s improvement in strength actually seems beyond Kuroto’s expectations!

After turning a few corners, Kuroto finally saw signs of alive people.

Seeing the four Root ninjas stood on guard in an alert state, Kuroto immediately retreated backward to not let them discover his presence.

“If there is still a team here guarding something with such alertness, so in all likelihood, it has to be the storehouse of the Root Base!” – nodding himself that he finally found the right location, Kuroto put his hand in the ninja bag and readied his Kunai.

Kuroto’s entire purpose of sneaking into the Root Base at this time was to use the golden opportunity that Shinichi presented him with to rob Danzo!

After all, whether they are the scrolls of Forbidden techniques from Danzo’s collections or the test results of Human Experimentation carried out under Danzo’s orders, all are of an urgent need for Kuroto.

So, having made up his mind, Kuroto immediately rushed out, his current strength has long surpassed the level of a Kage, so even if he doesn’t enter into the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, there wouldn’t be any problem fighting just four Root ninjas.

“Who?”

“Be careful it’s an enemy attack!”

As soon as Kuroto’s figure appeared before them, the Root ninja exclaimed immediately, strangely enough, the reason for their exclamation wasn’t Kuroto, but another man wearing a swirl mask, who suddenly appeared out of thin air from some sort of spiraling whirlpool.

Two died under Kuroto’s kunai while the other two were thrown into the spiral whirlpool by the orange masked-man.
With the continuous appearance of two strangers, four Root ninjas inexplicable died even before they could initiate an attack.

After solving the four mobs, the two guys; each wearing a black cloak and a mask over their faces stood opposite each other.

With the two of them facing each other, the atmosphere turned a little embarrassing.

Even Kuroto wearing a black mask couldn’t help but curse in annoyance.

Undoubtedly encountering Obito here really frustrated him!

And same was the case for the orange masked-man.
He obviously didn’t expect someone to suddenly jump into the game, not to mention it was also a guy wearing a black cloak and a mask just like himself.

This is a surprise!

Neither of the two sides back off and stood opposite to each other at the suspected door on the Root Base’s storehouse…
