Sasuke suddenly stopped, he turned around and looked at the canopy of a tree not far away with a frowned expression.
Noting the direction of Sasuke’s gaze, Neji whispered, “So, you noticed too huh?”
Sasuke nodded, “Yes.” Then he looked around and said, “Dozens of ninjas have surrounded the Academy... And they are using different means to partially hide their presence... I am just wondering who they are and why they have surrounded the academy?”
Neji answered Sasuke’s doubt, “They are Anbu.”
“Anbu?” Sasuke was taken aback, and questioned, “But why would Anbu surround the Academy? It doesn’t make any sense!”
Neji shrugged, “Beats me.” Then he looked in the direction of the gate of Konoha, and said, “But I have a feeling... something bad might happen here... and they are here probably trying to prevent that from happening.”
Sasuke shook his head, “No... I don’t think so...” and explained, “If something bad was about to happen at the academy, then Iruka-Sensei, my brother, and Principal would have instructed us to evacuate... since they did not warn us... it means everything is going to be fine. There must be some other reason why so many Anbu are present here.”
Neji sighed, “I hope that’s the case.”

Principal’s Office
After temporarily sealing Uchiha Shin’s Chakra, Kuroto handed him over to Iruka to keep a watch over him, then he returned to his office and took out a notebook and continued to work on the designs of ‘Type-II Biological Armor’ that was left incomplete earlier.
Kuroto didn’t really care about the Anbus surrounding the academy, nor did he care about the villagers gathered outside the gate of the academy. All his attention was on his notebook as he was completing the armor’s design.
After a week of testing and trial, Kuroto has figured out various shortcomings of ‘Type-I Biological Armor’.
Most of the shortcomings can be tolerated for the functionality, however, the fact that the chakra supply is unstable can not be ignored at any cost.
Because of this shortcoming of ‘Type-I Biological Armor’ Karin’s life is in danger. If any goes wrong, not only will she die, but even the two pairs of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan that are undergoing fusion will also suffer the backlash and end up being destroyed.
Just as Kuroto was busy thinking of a way to earn funds, suddenly there was a knock on the window of his office.
Kuroto looked over and found out that the person who came was none other than Kakashi, seeing him, Kuroto quickly closed the notebook and said, “Come in!”
Kakashi opened the window and walked in with a solemn expression.
Looking at Kakashi’s expression, Kuroto asked, “What happened?”
Kakashi replied, “Just as we expected, things are going to get troublesome.”
“Troublesome?” muttered Kuroto and asked, “What do you mean?”
Kakashi took the opposite seat, and explained, “We have received word... it won’t be Uchiha Shisui or Uchiha Patriarch to come to pick up Uchiha Shin... rather it will be Uchiha Shinichi.”
Kuroto was surprised by the information Kakashi brought, and muttered, “I am quite interested in knowing the identity of the spy you just mentioned.”
Kakashi shook his head, “I am sorry... this is something I can’t tell you for the time being.” Then he said, “But don’t worry... that person is reliable and the information is accurate.”
Kuroto waved his hand, and said, “No... no... I was just joking with you, obviously, I know that these secrets can’t be revealed.” Besides, he already knows the identity of the spy. And added after a pause, “Anyway, you were talking about Uchiha Shinichi.”
Kakashi nodded, “Yes... So, the Uchiha Clan has sent Shinichi to bring back Uchiha Shin.” And added in a worried tone, “The two of you had several conflicts in the past, so we can’t deny the possibility that he will once again seek trouble.”
Kakashi continued, “If Uchiha Shinichi causes trouble... the lives of children at the academy will be in danger... so the two of us will have to work together to neutralize him.”
“Well...” muttered Kuroto with a surprised expression.
Before he could say anything, Kakashi interrupted him, “Kuroto, there is no time to think about it! His Mangekyo Sharingan ability won’t be easy to deal with, so it would be safer this way!”UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m
