Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan-Chapter 12 - – 12 The Puppet’s Test

After taking care of Kuroto's wounds, Anko returned to her room without saying anything unnecessary as she also understood their current situation.

Kuroto was now lying on the bed, thinking carefully about what happened today. ??

Expectingly, today's mission was a trap, and Sand also participated in it. If there was no unexpected presence of the 'Sasori of the Red Sand', what Kuroto would have faced today is probably Sand Village's assassination team's combined siege.

Perhaps, if necessary, Captain Mitsui would have also participated in the siege to eliminate him!

As for why Sand Village is getting involved in Konoha's cleaning operation, Kuroto pondered a little over this matter, and after a little Brain Storming, he had the most likely answer.

Sand Village's Yondaime KazeKage has just taken his position because of the disappearance of the Sandaime KazeKage.

With the third Shinobi war being over, the Yondaime KazeKage needs to weaken the influence of Sandaime KazeKage in the Sand Village, so Sand Village actually needs to clean its own people too, and for them, this demand is much stronger than Konoha's.

In addition, after the war, Sand signed the alliance treaty with Konoha.

This can also explain why Sand Village participated in Konoha's cleaning operation. The highest level of the two sides has obviously reached an agreement to clean up the abandoned children for each other.

This not only prevents one's own hands from being contaminated with the blood of his fellow villagers but also provides a possible excuse for them to blame the death on someone.

Having figured this out, Kuroto also knew that even if it was Danzo who presided over this purge in the village, the Sandaime Hokage-sama, and other high-level officials must have tacitly approved of this or at least were aware of the details.

Otherwise, Danzo alone would not be able to bypass the village authorities and negotiate such a major action with Sand Village without consent from others.

At the thought of so many people being ruthlessly abandoned by the village, Kuroto was both disappointed and angry.

It can be said that 90% of these people are innocent. It was only a small group of them who have actually participated in the human experiments performed by Orochimaru, and most of them have only participated in a peripheral scale, like Kuroto.

The real core projects that involve bloody human experiments are almost all done by Orochimaru personally, and there are very few people who are even qualified to about them, much less participate in them in the first place, and even Kuroto is not one of those.

This is not Kuroto trying to shirk the responsibility, but except for Orochimaru, there might only be a handful of people who can independently carry out complex human experiments.

"What is the purpose of the village going so far this time?"

The more Kuroto thinks about it, the more he feels that something is wrong in this whole fiasco. The village's senior leaders cannot be unaware that this purge will affect many innocent people, but they still did it. There must be something Kuroto didn't know about.

Kuroto did more brainstorming thinking about Orochimaru's active defection and the uncharacteristic behavior of Danzo, who has always tried to maintain some level of cooperative relationship with Orochimaru.

And suddenly it finally struck him!

It must be because of some anger and grievance due to something that Orochimaru must have done, that might have made Danzo go into hysteria and the bastard finally decided to eliminate all the possible subordinates or Orochimaru from the village.

It has to be the case!

But regardless of whether Kuroto is correct or not, it can not change the fact that the purge has already begun. So, he has to converge his diverging thoughts and calmly sort out the threat he is facing right now.

The threat at hand is undoubtedly the purge issued by the village.

Now that the purge has already begun, the village will not let go of him, so even if Kuroto has escaped this time, there will be another waiting for him, and the intensity will exceed as the times' increase.

In addition, the threat of Sasori cannot be ignored.

Sandaime KazeKage was once known as the 'strongest KazeKage', but in the end, he died at Sasori's hands. Just this fact alone proves how dangerous Sasori actually is?

Now that Kuroto has offended the other party, he has to be on constant vigilance.

Thinking about it, in fact, what is most imminent is the village's reaction to Mitsui's death. Once the village suspects that Kuroto had some hand in it, then there will only be one option available for him and that is to defect.

"I don't know if I can hide that scene from the village."

It was actually a wonderful move on his part to have used KazeKage's puppet enact as a wandering ninja. Because of the third ninja war that finished not long ago, there are a large number of wandering ninjas who defected from many ninja villages, so it's not strange to have encountered one of those during a mission, as currently, the power spere of each village has weakened to some extent, and this is especially the case at the borders.

In addition, the two other team leaders who were suspected to be the roots ninja in the post also saw the puppet posing as a wandering ninja, which made Kuroto's words more convincing.

After thinking about it all night, Kuroto recovered the Sandaime KazeKage's puppet that had been hidden near the outpost and sealed it inside a scroll at the first opportunity he got the very next day.

Right now, there is serious attrition in the post.

Among the remaining 4 ninjas, there are two wounded, Anko and Kuroto, so the village will send a support team over at any time, or may already be on the way.

And the support squad will inevitably have a scout-type ninja. If he continues to let the puppet wander near the post, it is likely to hit the support squad and be exposed.

In the final analysis, the identity of Sandaime KazeKage??s Puppet is too eye-catching. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

Not to mention someone like Kuroto who is very cautious by nature, even the bold Sasori dare not use it so easily, and once it is exposed in Kuroto's hands, it is very difficult for him to give any explanation without revealing the secret of the Tenseigan, which is a risk he is unwilling to take.

After all, the Sandaime KazeKage was once the Kage of a village from the five major ninja villages.

Even if it is just to maintain their image as a major ninja village, Sand Village wouldn't stop at anything from eliminating the possible suspect of killing their Kage and retrieving the dead body of their Kage.

Kuruto who has already been listed as a target to be cleansed by Konoha doesn't have any intentions of offending Sand Village at all.

Anyway, at present, there are only 2 people alive who are aware that the Sandaime KazeKage was turned into a Human Puppet, and they are Kuroto and Sasori. Kuroto has no intention of revealing this information, and as for Sasori, as the culprit who killed Sandaime KazeKage and turned him into a puppet, he would definitely not take the initiative to reveal this information.

Furthermore, as far as Sasori's temperament is concerned, it is estimated that at this moment, he is still wandering around the ninja world collecting corps for making various puppets while also brainstorming on how to retrieve the KazeKage puppet from Kuroto. He won't be exposing this information at all, as it would also disgrace him for losing such a thing in the first place.

While thinking these messy thoughts Kuroto went back to his room to continue rest for recovering.

For the next few days, everything was calm.

Taking advantage of the few remaining opportunities, Kuroto continued studying the Tenseiagn's ability to control the puppet.

After many attempts, he found that the flexibility of the puppet depends entirely on the amount of Tenseigan Chakra he poured into the puppet. In short, the higher the volume of Chakra, the higher will be the flexibility of the puppet.

Kuroto is obviously not a puppet expert.

He doesn't know if KazeKage's puppet belonged to a relatively high-end quality or not? In short, simply activating it consumes almost half of his chakra volume. If he wants the puppet to use its high-end ability like Magnetic-Dun, it requires more than two-thirds of his total Chakra.

So, when the KazeKage's puppet is activated at most one-third of his chakra can be used by Kuroto!

Kuroto also tried infusing all his Chakra into the puppet to see if this puppet could go further and possess a small amount of self-autonomy.

But the result disappointed him.

He doesn't know if his total amount of chakras is too small, or for other reasons, anyway, even if he infused all of his chakras, the Puppet did not change any further.

However, at this time Kuroto has learned to adjust his mentality, and nothing is compared with the impression of Otsutsuki Toneri, so he did not feel too frustrated, just a little annoyed over his weakness…
