Hearing Jiraiya's worry, Sandaime said, "Uchiha Shisui also has Mangekyou Sharingan, therefore he is the best candidate from the Anbu to contend with Homusubi, what's more, Hyuga Kuroto, Might Guy and the captain of the team Hatake Kakashi will also be there. So, this team-11 is the most suitable Anbu team to protect Uzumaki Naruto, as such, there should be no problem in regards to Naruto's safety."
"There is Mangekyou Sharingan, Byakugan with sensory purpose, Minato's disciple is also there and finally Might Dai's son is also in the team, you are right sensei, Team-11 indeed seems to be the most stable choice to ensure Naruto's safety." – Jiraiya nodded with a smile and continued, "So I can leave with confidence."
Sandaime frowned, "Leave!?" Where are you going to leave? First and foremost, Gokage Summit is going to be held soon, as such no shinobi other than the team that will go to the predetermined location will be allowed to leave the village for any reason, secondly, this is an order from me, you are no longer allowed to continue your travels in this period of emergency."
Jiraiya put away his smile and said with a serious expression, "I want to bring back Tsunade, the threat that Amatsukami poses is too great. They are not doing massive damages to the manpower for now, but we don't know if that will remain the case in the future, so the village would definitely need her strength whether as a Medical-nin or as a combatant."
"Tsunade…?" – Hearing Tsunade's name being mentioned, Sandaime couldn't help but remember the days when he instructed the three children who later came to be known as the legendary Sannin, "Sigh… I wonder if she will choose to come back? Moreover, you should also be aware of her…"
Jiraiya did not let Sandaime finish that sentence and said, "I will definitely bring her back!"
Sandaime sighed he did not say anything more about it, if Jiraiya can really bring back Tsunade then a lot of things will be solved. So, after nodding slightly, he closed up this matter and questioned another matter, "You have personally observed the battlefield where Yondaime Raikage and the Jinchuriki of Hachibi fought with the two members of Amatsukami, what is your personal opinion on this?"
Jiraiya thought for a while and then said, "If not for the fact that I personally saw that battlefield with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that only four shinobi caused so much destruction, and from what Raikage has stated, most of the damage to the battlefield was caused by Homusubi, Raikage, Killer Bee or the other member of Amatsukami played less part in that damage."
Sandaime asked again, "And what about the report about that unique golden fire? Is it the same golden fire that appeared at the mountain a few days ago?"
Jiraiya nodded, "Yes, all the characteristics match. From what Uchiha Shisui can think of, those golden flames are probably a special ability of Homusubi's Susanoo, therefore we can assume that it was Homusubi who was responsible for the destruction of that mountain. The flames are extremely hot and very difficult to put down, the last time I had to use Senjutsu infused Water Release, and only then the golden fire was extinguished, this time Killer Bee used Water Release infused with Hachibi's dense chakra and that managed to extinguish the fire, therefore we can assume that normal Water Release will not work on that Golden Fire."
Sandaime was shocked because that Golden Fire is now a bigger issue, if Homusubi just lit Konoha with that golden fire then the whole village will burn down to ashes unless Jiraiya is-… 'Wait! Fuinjutsu should also work in dealing with that golden fire.'
While Sandaime was thinking, Jiraiya continued, "What I am more concerned about is the identity of the person Homusubi was fighting against at that Mountain, after all, the opponent would definitely not be so simple for Homusubi to resort to using such power that literally destroyed entire mountain and so much area around it."
One after another more and more unidentified individuals with Kage or a higher level of strength are appearing in the shinobi world and this has only made Sandaime's feel more pressured, "Go and get Tsunade back to Konohagakure!" – Ordered Sandaime.
…
Two days later.
Kuroto received the Sandaime-Sama's order for the summon of Anbu Team-11.
After the four members of team-11 were gathered at the Hokage office, Sandaime ordered that their previous mission was officially put to a stop and then assigned a new mission.
Taking the scroll from Sandaime, all four of them read the content, after the team was finished reading all the details, Sandaime ordered, "From now on until ordered otherwise, Team-11 will only perform one mission, and that mission is to ensure the safety of Uzumaki Naruto!"
Captain of Team-11, Hatake Kakashi who wearing his Dog Anbu uniform nodded seriously after realizing the seriousness of the matter based on the information written in the scroll.
Kakashi obviously knows that Uzumaki Naruto is his teacher's, Yondaime Hokage Namikaze Minato's son, therefore, Kakashi is really very concerned about Naruto's safety after reading the details that Amatsukami will start targeting 9 Bijuu.
The other three members of the team did not have any issues so they naturally did not object.
With the mission assigned, the four of them left the Hokage Building.
While the team was leaving the Hokage Building Uchiha Shisui and Hyuga Kuroto, who were in their, Cat Anbu and Eagle Anbu disguise looked at each other.
From the fact that Sandaime-sama has assigned the mission to ensure Uzumaki Naruto's safety, it can be understood that the village authorities have believed that Amatsukami's next targets are 9 Bijuu, and therefore, Hokage-sama has made corresponding deployments.
The four came to their usual meet-up point, and at this time Kakashi said, "We will follow the same approach as always, team-11 will be divided into two sub-teams and will keep a watch over Uzumaki Naruto alternately."
None of the three members of the team had any objection, obviously, all four of them can not keep a watch over Uzumaki Naruto twenty-four hours every day, therefore, making sub-teams is only natural.
Before Kakashi could sub-group them into two teams, Shisui raised his hand, "In that case, it should be fine if I and Kuroto-san are a team, right?"
Kakashi was not so surprised by Shisui's question, over the years, he has come to understand that Kuroto and Shisui's understanding is very good and generally both of them forms a group if a sub-grouping has to be done, so he just looked towards Kuroto, and seeing that Kuroto nodded, so he also did not object and said, "Alright, you two will be a sub-team, and I and Guy will be sub-team, we will work in shifts, of 8 hours each, and after every eight hours we will switch, for the first eight hours I and guy will keep a watch and then both of you will switch!"
The four of them agreed and with that, Kakashi and Guy did not waste any more time and immediately went to start the mission of protecting Uzumaki Naruto from Amatsukami.
After Kakashi and Guy were gone, Shisui asked, "So, Kuroto-san, how should we work on keeping a watch over Uzumaki Naruto?"
Kuroto said casually, "Just send a Shadow Clone for now, are you really going to go, guard, that kid all day?"
Shisui sighed, "Alright if you say so. By the way, Patriarch agreed to my request and passed me the scroll of the Transcription Seal!"
As soon as Kuroto heard this he was really happy, "Great!"
Shisui said, "The Transcription Seal is not that difficult, even I managed to learn it in just these two days, it does not even require hand seals to use it and is purely activated using visual prowess, according to the patriarch, only members of the Uchiha Clan can use Transcription Seal." – Speaking up to here, Shisui handed the scroll to Kuroto and continued, "So I am not sure if you will be able to learn this technique."
Kuroto thought a little and said, "I will think of something, if nothing else works, then I could just transplant a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan to learn it."
Shisui nodded.
Kuroto put away the scroll and said, "I also need some of your blood as well as other cell tissues."
Shisui did not think too much about this request nor did he deny it and allowed Kuroto to extract blood samples as well as cell tissues from nails, hair, skin peelings, etc.
After collecting the cells, Kuroto bid farewell to Shisui and came to his secret laboratory.
The first thing he did was to properly store all the cells he extracted from Shisui, the next thing he did was to spread the scroll he received from Shisui and started studying it seriously.
The visual prowess is not unique to the Uchiha Clan; if the requirement to be able to use the Transcription Seal is to have strong enough visual prowess, then Kuroto should also be able to learn and use the Transcription Seal because he has the Tenseigan.
With that understood, Kuroto earnestly focused on learning the Transcription Seal based on the information written in the scroll.
It was only a few hours later that he finally nodded to himself, "Shisui was right, it truly is not as difficult as I initially thought it would be."
After these few hours of studying, Kuroto has roughly understood the functioning and mechanism of the Transcription Seal, now all he has to do is use it practically.
