Since awakening the Tenseigan Kuroto's comprehensive power has increased a lot; therefore, under Miko-sama's careful guidance he mastered all the 700+ techniques involved in the artificial tailed beast plan within 10 days.
"These Fuinjutsu techniques are aimed for sealing the tailed beasts, aren't they?" This was her conclusion.
Kuroto didn't try to hide from her since it was pretty much useless to do so in the first place and nodded while he also asked a question, "Miko-sama, do you think it would be possible to suppress the tailed beasts with mastery over this much knowledge?"
She thought for a while then shook her head, "Uzumaki Fuinjutsu knowledge is too deft, although I have understood most of what you have provided me with, it's still not enough for me to draw out a conclusion. Besides, there are many parts even I am not confident about, so I can't say for sure."
Kuroto frowned from her response, "You were able to seal Moryo who has a similar level of strength as a tailed beast, shouldn't you be able to judge using this fact alone?"
However, Kuroto had to be disappointed as Miko-sama denied with an apologetic smile, "You're misunderstanding as well as overestimating my strength Kuroto-san. The only reason I can seal Moryo is because of the natural restraint Miko's Fuinjutsu has on him. If it was a tailed beast in his stead, the result would have definitely been unpredictable.
As the two sides of one coin, Miko's and Moryo have a mutual restraint on each other, so our fight cannot be used as a basis to make an effective judgment."
Listening to her words Kuroto's frown deepened, for the past 2 weeks he has been using Miko-sama's battle with Moryo as a basis to judge the strength of tailed beasts.
But now that she has said otherwise, Kuroto finally understands that the reason why Konoha dropped the Tailed beast project is that the lack of Fuinjutsu knowledge to safely create a Jinchuriki. The tailed beasts must be secured with enough restraints, else it isn't a weapon against the enemies but a ticking time bomb for their own village, and with the demise of the Uzumaki clan, Konoha's source of obtaining such information disappeared.
Since he thought about it, Kuroto decided to have an in-depth discussion with Miko-sama. So, after pondering for a while, he asked her, "Miko-sama have you ever seen a tailed beast?"
Miko-sama shook her head.
"I personally estimate that the strength of Moryo is in the same class as Ichibi or maybe Nibi." Taking a short pause, he continued, "If you don't count the natural restraint you have on Moryo, do you think it would have been possible to seal Moryo with these techniques?"
Miko-sama took a moment to think and then replied, "If Moryo is in a weakened state, it may be possible! Regardless of that, if Konoha village needs help in sealing the tailed beast I might be able to help!"
"How?"
Miko-sama explained, "Uzumaki Fuinjutsu technique is different Miko's as their primary focus is internal sealing, while I have mastery over external sealing."
Since Kuroto has already mastered the basics of Fuinjutsu, he immediately understood what she was trying to imply.
Uzumaki Fuinjutsu pays more attention to practicality, their sealing technique is often focused from the inside to the outside, as such it is possible to obtain the power of the sealed subject. The best example of this power is the Kyuubi's Jinchuriki.
On the other hand, Miko's Fuinjutsu is more traditional, as they focus on isolation and suppression. In terms of subtlety, it is far inferior to Uzumaki's while in terms of stability they are far superior to Uzumaki's.
Now that he knows this Kuroto immediately cooked up a new idea, that is, a double seal!
In the first step, as per the thesis according to the scroll given to him by Orochimaru, use the core-shell made of 'Purple Clay', and use Uzumaki Fuinjutsu techniques to make an unstable tailed beast.
In the second step, use Miko's Fuinjutsu to seal the unstable tailed beast in an object that can be carried.
In this way, the risk of artificial tailed beast running away will be greatly reduced, and Kuroto wouldn't have to be worried about being influenced by it either. There would be no need to worry about it on regular days, and it can be immediately suppressed by external seals if something is found wrong while in battle.
With this objective in his mind, Kuroto decided his further course of action.
.................................…
A few days later, Kakashi and the others responsible for destroying the cultists returned to the Temple of Miko.
From the looks of it, the mission wasn't a success. After Moryo was sealed, these cultists vanished into thin air, no matter how much effort they put all they could find were some of the low-level members, but their leader Yomi was missing.
However contrary to what Kuroto expected Miko-sama didn't care too much about this.
According to her, without Moryo's support, Yomi is no different from just some Chunin class wandering nin, if he leaves any trace then she can just hire shinobi from the five great nations to eliminate him.
Since Miko-sama didn't care Kuroto also put past the thought, since Miroku-sama is alive which is different from the case according to the original series therefore Moryo's resurrection shouldn't happen, moreover, he will be in contact with her for his artificial tailed beast plan so there would be more opportunities to come to eliminate Yomi.
Kakashi and others were a little depressed about it, but they also knew that the 11th Class can no longer stay in the Land of Demons as it has already been close to a month since they left for the mission and since the Konoha is under great pressure so they have to leave, so with an apology they bid goodbye to Miko-sama and left.
Before they left Miko-sama also completed her part of the deal so Kuroto received Purple Clay as promised.
In fact, she went a little board and collected nearly a ton of Purple Clay by mobilizing the power of Land of Demons, although it must have cost a lot but nobody complained.
After all, some monetary value is nothing compared to the countless lives that were saved, including her own.
Additionally, Kuroto and Shisui repeatedly reassured her that they would never reveal her secret so Miko-sama went full throttle, and the authorities of Land of Demons naturally complied with her demand.
So after finally bidding farewell to Miko-sama and Shion, the four Shinobi of the Class-11 embarked on their returning journey.
On the way back, the four shinobi who went through many life and death battles together in the past few days were more friendly with each other and chatted without any reservation. This mission not only increased their knowledge, strength, and experience but also their trust in each other.
Even the silent and indifferent Kakashi would occasionally add sentences in the conversation.
The group mostly traveled with occasional stops, soon they were past the territory of the Land of Demons and entered the Country of Bears.
There is a small shinobi village in the Country of bears, but their military strength isn't very strong, so there are many wandering ninjas here that are supported by Rock Village. Their purpose is to quietly infiltrate this country and continuously plunder the resources of the Country of Bears.
While traveling through a dense forest, Kuroto at the front suddenly stopped.
Guy asked quickly, "What's wrong?"
Kuroto's replied with a gloomy face, "Ambush!"
Kuroto's reply immediately alerted the other three.
Kakashi sniffed his surroundings, he actually has very good smelling senses like that of an Inuzuka making him able to even notice what others can't. Even in the third shinobi war, he used this point to take advantage of his enemies.
Boom…... Boom... boom…
Suddenly, a series of violent explosions broke out all around, and the flames of the explosions engulfed the four shinobi of class 11…
