Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan-The Promise - The Promise

Shinichi’s return caused quite a stir in Konoha.

As a former member of Akatsuki, although he didn’t do too many bad things, he did after all participate in all of Akatsuki’s actions. He was part of the team attacking Konohagakure, and Iwagakure, including the Tsuchikage, many people opposed his return and wanted him to be punished for his crimes.

For Konoha, Shinichi’s return means something else entirely. Even if Shinichi was part of Akatsuki, his return meant that there was another Kage-level combat power in the village, at the same time, it also meant that they could finally get an understanding of the Akatsuki Organization.

The benefits of accepting him back in the village far outweighed the benefits of punishing him.

Therefore, including the Uchiha Clan, many people vouched for Shinichi’s acceptance in the village, and the decision was made accordingly.

Even if it was decided that he would be accepted, a proper inquiry had to be conducted.

So, Shinichi had to spend the last week in the interrogation room and tell everything that was asked of him.

Finally, after he gave all the information that was asked of him, Shinichi was allowed to leave the interrogation room and return to the Uchiha grounds.

Of course, he wasn’t completely free. Although he was allowed to freely move in Konoha, however, he couldn’t step out of the village without Hokage-sama’s permission. At the same time, a shinobi assigned by Hokage-sama will always accompany him at all times.

And now that he was free to move, Kuroto finally contacted him to understand the situation. After the two talked for a while, Kuroto brought him to his former laboratory.

As for the shinobi who has to accompany Shinichi? Well, fooling that person isn’t such a big issue for the likes of Shinichi and Kuroto.

…

Forest of Death, Konohagakure

Following Kuroto for a while, the two arrived at a tree, and as Kuroto removed the barrier, the passage leading underground was opened.

Walking through the dark passage, the two arrived at Kuroto’s former laboratory.

Since obtaining Ancor Vantian, Kuroto has moved almost everything to the air fortress. Now this place is only used for carrying out some small operations and experiments that involve others. For instance, the Hashirama Cells implantation operation that Shisui went through was performed here.

Shinichi curiously looked at everything in the laboratory, and couldn’t help but sigh in admiration, “Tsk… tsk… Boss… I didn’t expect that you would have such a place here. I doubt anyone in the village knows about this place, right?”

“Shisui and Itachi do.” Answered Kuroto as he walked deeper into the laboratory.

Shinichi restrained his curiosity and followed Kuroto.

Coming to the deepest section of the laboratory, Kuroto removed the seals in the area and revealed a Cloning Capsule.

Inside the cloning capsule, Uchiha Kurumi’s body was kept, her injury was healed and her body was spotless.

At first glance, anyone would think that she is only asleep, and there is nothing amiss with her.

But both Kuroto and Shinichi knew that she was in fact, dead.

Looking at the lifeless body of Kurumi on the other side of the glass, Shinichi’s breath quickened, “Boss… she…”

Kuroto leaned on the wall with his arms folded on his chest, and said, “Don’t worry… the promise I made to you will not be broken. That’s why I have done everything I can to preserve her body.”

In order to preserve Uchiha Kurumi’s body, Kuroto has used all the latest technology he can access. This is done in order to fulfill his promise to Shinichi.

For the resurrection of Kurumi the better the state of her body, the less difficult it will be to bring her back to life.

Shinichi nodded and once again looked at Kurumi. This time, his eyes got wet. He immediately turned his head to the side, trying to make sure that Kuroto didn’t notice.

Seeing through Shinichi’s intention, Kuroto smiled and left the storage room without saying a word.

After a while, Shinichi walked out of the storage room with swollen eyes and marks of tears on his face.

Seeing that Kuroto was looking at him with a smile, Shinichi rubbed his eyes and said, “Ah… I got something in my eyes, it was really uncomfortable.”

Kuroto shook his head with a chuckle, “Sure, whatever you say.”

Shinichi knew that he couldn’t fool Kurot, and sighed. Then he looked at Kuroto and sincerely expressed his gratitude, “Boss… thank you.”

Kuroto waved his hand, “Don’t worry about it. This was the content of your deal. And don’t thank me yet, she still has to be resurrected, which will take some time, I hope you can wait a little more.”

Shinichi nodded, “I will.” And asked, “Ah… that… can you give me an idea of how much time will it take?”

Kuroto thought about it, and explained, “I can’t say for certain, but at least three years.”

Based on Kuroto’s speculation, after he crosses the threshold of the Six-Path level, and fully grasps the Yin-Yang Release as well as Creation of All Things, he will be able to bring the dead back to life as well.

But he will be able to do that only after he has completed Project Godhood.

Considering the current progress, of the six clones, four are nearly completed. The factor of Chakra sources is also being taken care of thanks to the Yin seal and Eight Inner Gates that he is working on. The optimization of the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual, looking for location, preparing the ritual ground, and other things will have to be considered as well. Therefore, Kuroto believes that it will take him at least three more years to complete Project Godhood.

“Three years huh?” muttered Shinichi with a thoughtful expression and nodded, “I understand.”

The promise Kuroto made was to resurrect Kurumi after fifteen years. Currently, it hasn’t even been a decade, so three more years don’t exceed the agreement.

Kuroto smiled, “Good.” And added, “Since that’s out of the way, let’s talk about Akatsuki now.”
