Seeing that Uchiha Shinichi wasn’t about to let him go so easily, Kuroto had no choice but to agree to the challenge.
After arriving at a remote grove, Kuroto glanced around and finally pointed towards a large tree at a distance, “Let’s take this duel there!”
Shinichi nodded and proudly declared, “I’m going to let you know this beforehand, I am different from Shisui, and I am not going to go easy on you!”
“Oh!” Kuroto nodded absent-mindedly.
Shinichi was annoyed by this absent-minded reaction it felt as if Kuroto was completely ignoring his presence, “Hey, are you even listening carefully? I-said-I-will-use-everything-I-got! If you don’t pay attention or take this battle lightly, you will die for sure!”
Kuroto nodded helplessly as Shinichi tapped his finger on his chest while shouting, however all he could reply was, “I really have something very important to do, can we please hurry this up?”
“DAMN IT!” Shinichi opened his Sharingan in annoyance, and stared fiercely at Kuroto, “You are too ignorant kid! You have to understand the difference between the strong and the weak, today I will let you experience the true might of an Uchiha!”
Having said that, Shinichi quickly printed the hand seal and shouted, “Fire Release: Fireball technique!”
As soon as Shinichi started printing hand seals, Kuroto’s figure flashed at high speed to avoid the ninjutsu attack.
Under the cover of Fire Release ninjutsu, Shinichi appeared in front of Kuroto with a quick Body Flicker Technique, the three tomoe in his Sharingan were spinning rapidly.
For a second, they both looked at each other.
As soon as Kuroto matched eyesight with Shinichi’s, he was suddenly in a dazed state, his body stopped moving and he stood straight dropping his head blankly just like a soulless puppet.
Shinichi curved his lips seeing the genjutsu attack succeed, “What, so weak? How could Shisui lose to someone so pathetic?”
While muttering to himself Shinichi walked closer to Kuroto.
In the vision of his Sharingan, Kuroto’s chakra flow at this moment is extremely chaotic.
This is also the state of having fallen under Genjutsu’s effect, so without any care, with the thought that he has already defeated Hyuga Kuroto in just a moment, he put a Kunai at Kuroto’s throat first, before proceeding to unlock the genjutsu, so that he can watch opponent’s shocked face and humiliate Hyuga Kuroto.
But just as Shinichi raised his right arm, without raising his head, Kuroto suddenly shot a series of palm strikes.
…………………tuk…tuk…tuk….
With the muffled sound of fist strikes, Shinichi fell to the ground with a shocked look and passed out.
While patting away some dust, Kuroto said lightly, “Okay, you can come out now Shisui!”
Whish!
As soon as Kuroto spoke, Shisui’s figure appeared next to him.
Shisui first glanced at Uchiha Shinichi who had a shocked face while being unconscious, then bowed to Kuroto and said with a smile: “Kuroto-San, thank you for the hard work!”
Obviously, Kuroto has long since noticed Shisui trailing behind Shinichi.
With the friendship between the two, Shisui would have notified him in advance, but since he didn’t it could only mean that this all happened all of a sudden.
Kuroto wasn’t very worried about Shinichi but something else so he asked feeling a little troubled, “This kind of troublesome thing won’t happen every day in the future, right?”
Shisui shook his head and said solemnly, “Of course not, Shinichi is also very respected in the clan. This time he lost so badly; the restless clansmen will definitely wait to strategize some countermeasure. So, I guess, it should take at least a few days at the earliest for the next challenge.”
‘How can you say that with a straight face!’
Listening to Shisui say that there would be more people coming, Kuroto asked helplessly, “More would be coming!?”
Shisui hurriedly promised, “Don’t worry! The elders will definitely make sure to not send elite Jonins after you, at most they will be at the level of Special Jonin or Jonin!”
However, Kuroto had black lines on his forehead as Shisui stated this all so calmly, “So, according to your estimation I am going to be dueling against most of the Uchiha Shinobi? By then, won’t I get the strange title of ‘Uchihas Nemesis’ or something along the lines!!???”
“Hahahaha, that sounds kind of nice! ‘Uchiha’s Nemesis!!’, it’s kind of funny, anyway thank you so much Kuroto-San for bearing with the actions of the Uchiha, okay bye, I’ll see you next time!” Giving a smirk, Shisui immediately picked up unconscious Shinichi and ran away in a panic!
Kuroto hurriedly shouted from the distance, “Hey, don’t escape, next time be sure to inform me in advance!”
The only reason Kuroto managed to defeat Uchiha Shinichi so easily this time, was purely because of the other party’s arrogance.
All he had to do was to disrupt his Chakra flow, and Shinichi was easily fooled because of his overconfidence in the Sharingan. If it was someone like Itachi or a more cautious type of person, then it wouldn’t have been so easy for Kuroto to win.
“Got it Kuroto-san!”
Shisui expects Kuroto-san to suppress the more and more unrestrained and domineering Uchiha clansmen, so obviously he offered to promise.
After solving this matter, Kuroto’s plan remained unchanged, so he went straight to the Forest of Death.
With yesterday’s experience, he was more familiar and comfortable with collecting samples.
Today, in less than 2 hours, he had more than twice the number of venom sacs compared to yesterday.
Just as he was about to return, there was a sound of bushes moving around.
Kuroto stopped and searched for the source of the sound.
From the direction of the sound, suddenly a baby wild boar, the same one Kuroto encountered yesterday, sprang out and looked in his direction stupidly.
Seeing the baby boar Kuroto was slightly surprised, “Huh, you are still alive!?”
According to his guess, the poison sac still left in the body of the cobra was more than enough to kill a wild boar ten times the size of this baby boar, so long as it eats the body of the cobra, it should have definitely died!
“Did it not eat the cobra, or did it remove the poison sac?” As soon as Kuroto thought about this, he couldn’t help but be more confused, because he suddenly discovered that there were traces of chakra flowing through the body of the boar, this is definitely different from what he saw yesterday.
“How come…?” This change was unexpected according to him.
Although the wild animals can learn to use chakra accidentally, the probability of such an accident happening is very small, more often such animals are intelligent than their peers, and generally, they are strong and the old types. For such a young baby boar to learn to use chakra, is undoubtedly unexpected.
“Is it the birth of a genius or a monster!?”
While Kuroto was thinking, the baby boar rushed towards him and grunted!
“What!?”
As Kuroto asked what does it want from him, the baby boar started circling around him.
“You wanna play!?”
It shook its head negatively.
“So, you understand me!?”
No reply!
“What do you want!? Something to eat!?”
Grunt-grunt, it makes a grunting sound as it shakes its head positively.
“So, you want something to eat!? Sorry little guy I don’t have anything—– WAIT!” he suddenly stopped halfway and took out a small thumb size sac from his waist pouch and threw it towards the baby boar. “Do you want to eat that?”
Wild animals generally have instincts that let them distinguishes between what’s good for them and what’s not, so Kuroto wants to check whether this unusual little boar he encountered will eat the poison sac?
After all, the smell of this poison sac is slightly pungent, let alone eating, ordinary animals will stay away from this sort of smell, but if this baby boar dared to eat this, then it would finally mean that he is extraordinary at least.
Here Kuroto was thinking that it would at least smell what it’s eating, but NO! As soon as Kuroto threw the poison sac, it jumped up and swallowed the poison sac as a whole while still in mid-air.
As the baby boar swallowed the poison sac Kuroto decided to wait for a while and watch what happens.
So, he waited… and he waited… and waited… and waited… and waited a little more… but nothing happened to the little guy as it continued nudging him at the feet asking for more.
“Heh, this is kind of interesting!” Kuroto smiled as he threw more poison sacs.
