Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan-Chapter 856 Itachi’s Concern
Ancor Vantian
Looking at the figure of Karin squirming on the operation table, Kuroto’s forehead wrinkled in tension. Not long ago, a large grey patch appeared on the pure white body of ‘Type I Biological Armor’ worn by Karin, upon checking the state of the armor with his Tenseigan, it became clear that the tissues were in a state of Necrosis, and the Yang chakra is completely exhausted in the grey areas.
“This armor is already reaching its limit?” muttered Kuroto with a thoughtful expression as he recorded his observations.
The armor reaching its limit is nothing too surprising since Kuroto had expected this scene long ago, but it happened a bit too early, and he was caught off guard for a moment.
Fortunately, he had made a lot of preparations in advance while he was in Konoha. He has earned the required funds in the past few weeks, so he can focus on the research and development of ‘Type II Biological Armour’ without having to worry about money.
With such a thought in his mind, Kuroto once again looked at the tired Karin, and after carrying out a brief physical examination, he questioned her, “Do you feel any swelling in your eye sockets?”
Karin shook her head, “Not anymore.”
“That’s good.” Nodded Kuroto.
After observing Karin’s eye sockets with his Tenseigan, Kuroto noticed that the two pairs of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in her eye sockets are in the middle of a fusion state, although the fusion is not yet completed, there is some progress.
Most importantly, the Yin chakra of both eyes is rapidly merging together and giving birth to a stronger Yin. At the same time, the Yang Chakra from Karin’s body is being sucked out rapidly which is also the reason why the ‘Type I Biological Armour’ experienced sudden degradation.
Kuroto predicts that it should take about a month or two for the initial phase of fusion to complete, after that the second phase of fusion will start, which will be the fusion of the Yin and the Yang chakra.
If the Yin and the Yang chakra in her body continue to merge together, soon, the Yin-Yang chakra will take birth in Karin’s body, and she will start to understand the ‘Creation of All Things’. This will be the completion of the second phase. And finally, it will be time for the third phase.
In the third phase, the Yin-Yang chakra in her body will undergo qualitative improvement. Only after the qualitative improvement reach a certain stage, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in her eye-sockets will mutate into the Rinnegan.
Through these stages, Karin will constantly need the support of Yang Chakra. It’s quite obvious that she cannot rely on the ‘Type I Biological Armour’, it isn’t capable of fully supporting her through the first stage, let alone the second and the third stage when the need for Yang chakra will drastically increase.
Therefore, it is imperative for Kuroto to immediately start working on the next Biological Armour.
With these thoughts in his mind, Kuroto sent Karin back to her living quarters and started to work on the ‘Type II Biological Armour’.
The designs of the next armor were already ready, he had spent quite a lot of time perfecting the designs. Although the design and structure are somewhat complicated, with his experience of working on the ‘Type I Biological Armour’, there shouldn’t be much problem.

Konohagakure, Land of Fire
“Shikaku-san… then I’ll take my leave…” spoke Kuroto as he got up and bowed to the Patriarch of the Nara Clan.
The Jonin Commander of Konoha accompanied Kuroto to the entrance of the Nara Clan and reassured the young Hyuga with a smile, “Rest assured Kuroto-kun, the Ino-Shika-cho will make careful choices in the Vote of Confidence.”
Although Shikaku did not explicitly state that the Ino-Shika-Cho would support him, he did drop a few subtle hints which were enough for Kuroto.
Satisfied, Kuroto walked out of the Ino-Shika-Cho district and proceeded towards the next location while accompanied by Shizune.
Walking beside Kuroto, Shizune complained, “Kuroto-kun… do you finally understand how tiring this ordeal is?” and added, “You have been hiding for so long… and the entire work was dropped on our shoulders… because of you, we have suffered so much!”
Kuroto apologized with an awkward smile, “I am sorry Shizune-san.”
“What…?!” Shizune was taken aback by Kuroto’s apology and blushed in embarrassment.
Looking at Shizune’s embarrassed expression, Kuroto asked in confusion, “What happened?”
Shizune quickly recovered, and waved her hand, “Oh.. nothing-nothing… It… it’s just that I am not used to you being so polite to me.”
Kuroto’s eyes flashed for a moment, before returning to normal and he spoke, “I understand, in that case, I will talk with you normally… Shizune.”
Shizune nodded with a smile, “Yes, that’s better.”
‘It seems I need to be more careful… Fortunately, Shizune-san did not think too much about it, if it was someone else… they might have realized that I am not the real Kuroto-san, but someone else acting as him in his absence.’ Thought ‘Kuroto’ to himself.
This person, impersonating Kuroto is none other than Uchiha Itachi.
As stated previously, Kuroto has quietly left Konoha to deal with more important matters, and Itachi is acting in place of Kuroto. With Itachi’s Chakra control, no one can discern that he is not Hyuga Kuroto, but Itachi still needs to work on ‘interaction’, lest the cover will be blown because of small discrepancies.
Just as ‘Kuroto’ and Shizune were walking out of the ‘Ino-Shika-Cho’ district, they bumped into Uchiha Fugaku and his followers who were making their way towards the ‘Ino-Shika-Cho’ district.
Noticing his fellow Hokage candidate, Fugaku coldly snorted. Not even attempting to hide the animosity.
‘Oops… we encountered the wrong people!’ Shizune exclaimed in her heart as she looked at the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan. The domineering image of the Uchiha Clan has been deeply rooted in the hearts of Konoha Shinobi, although Shizune has been under Tsunade’s influence for years, she isn’t that affected when facing Uchiha Clansmen, a part of her still doesn’t want to deal with these prideful and arrogant people.
Shizune feared that a conflict might break out between the two sides, especially with Kuroto’s reputation, after all, the young Hyuga has repeatedly fought against the Uchiha Clansmen over the years.
‘Kuroto’ was also a bit surprised to see the Uchiha Patriarch, and thought, ‘Not good, I can’t stay in front of them for too long… if they activated their Sharingan, it will be problematic.’ Although a little flustered, he calmed his nerves and quickly left. As for Fugaku’s hostility? ‘Kuroto’ did not pay much attention to it, ‘If it’s Kuroto-san, he wouldn’t have paid them any mind. Besides, it’s not like Tou-san has any chance of winning.’
Since he is the eldest heir of the Uchiha Clan, so Itachi has the duty of supporting Fugaku. Although Itachi is busy impersonating Kuroto, his shadow clone is working tirelessly to garner the support and favor of other clans. Precisely why, Itachi knows that his father doesn’t have any chance of winning the Vote of Confidence.
There is a subtle difference in the treatment that he received when he visited a clan as ‘Uchiha Itachi’ and ‘Hyuga Kuroto’. It’s not that he was mistreated, or people behaved rudely… it’s just there was a sense of alienation. Something he did not feel when he visited as ‘Hyuga Kuroto’.
Such a difference in other people’s behavior made him realize that his father really had no chance of winning the elections.
What’s more ironic is that the Uchiha Clan isn’t defeated by Hyuga Kuroto or the Hokage faction that is supporting him from the shadows, rather, they are their own cause of defeat. Someone who hasn’t made their way into their people’s hearts has no chance of becoming their leader.
Itachi has a doubt in his heart. He is puzzled why his fellow clansmen are unable to see something so obvious. Their pride and arrogance have blinded them so much that despite possessing the eyes that are a reflection of one’s heart, they are unable to read other people’s hearts.
‘Sigh… I wonder what will be their reaction once they are defeated…’ Itachi is deeply concerned about the future of the Uchiha Clan.
If the Uchiha continued to walk on the same road, it would be a dead end for them. Think of the dark possibility, Itachi’s chest tightens.
‘Kuroto-san… please protect the Uchiha Clan!’
