Chapter 45 - - 45 Self Realization
While supporting each other out of the cave, Guy's figure was the first one that came into Kuroto's sight.
Obviously, Guy faithfully followed Kuroto's instructions and didn't let either of the Sand or Rock shinobi enter inside the cave.
Finally noticing that the three people although in a battered state but safely came out of the cave, Guy showed his signature smile and spoke with a thumb up, "Kuroto, I knew you will succeed!"
Not far away Kakashi didn't say anything but took a breath of relief. No matter how cold and indifferent he may look, his subconscious actions speak otherwise.
Pakura along with the other shinobi of the Sand village also carefully observed Miko-sama, Kuroto, and Shisui. The previous movements and shaking of the cave was felt by everyone outside, so they can more or less guess, at least Pakura being a near Kage class Kunoichi can make some conclusions just how fierce the battle inside might have been, and the fact that both the Konoha Shinobi not only managed to come out alive but also successfully sealed the Demon, earned both of them her respect.
On the other hand, the look in the eyes of the Rock Beheading unit was not so good, although their captain didn't let it show on his face; by masking himself with a thoughtful look, that seemed to say that he was considering some things by being a little absent-minded, it wasn't that difficult for Kuroto to judge some of his intentions.
Since the Demon Moryo; which was a threat to the Shinobi world is successfully sealed, the cooperative relationship between the several Shinobi villages has also come to an end; and is replaced by previous hostility just like all times.
At this time, Miko-sama who was holding the cubical wooden box gratefully bowed to all the ninjas present and thanked them earnestly for helping her seal Moryo.
Although the others that were outside didn't play any significant role like Kuroto and Shisui, just from the broken stone puppets of the Ghost Army lying all around and the traces of battle left it's not hard for her to see that the battle that took place outside to stop the interference of the Ghost Army was just as fierce if not fiercer than the one that took place inside.
After all, until Moryo is completely sealed the ghost Army had a continuous supply of Chakra, because of which they were almost undefeatable due to their toughness and regeneration giving them an immortal trait.
And even then, the Shinobi guarding the cave didn't let even a single puppet pass through, which made it possible for Kuroto and Shisui to suppress the Demon, therefore, Miko-sama was earnestly grateful to all those present here.
After everyone accepted Miko-sama's gratitude, the Shinobi of Sand and Rock villages left one after another, while the Konoha Class-11 was responsible for safely escorting Miko-sama back to her Temple in the Lands of Demon.
Because of the deal between Kuroto and Miko-sama Konoha Shinobi were also given another mission of eradicating the remnants of Cultists as an excuse of their temporary stay in the Lands of Demons.
Of course, the work of eradicating the remnants of the cultists was handed over to Kakashi, Guy, and Shisui by Kuroto, while he recovered from his injuries at Miko's temple patiently waiting for the delivery of 'Purple Clay'.
While he didn't have nothing much to do Kuroto recollected and summed up his battle with Moryo.
This battle was the first time that he had used up all his Chakra since awakening the Tenseigan, therefore, even though he had to rely on the Secret Technique that cost him approximately 2 to 3 months of lifespan, it still exposed and gave him an understanding of many of his problems and flaws, which was an unexpected gain.
But the adverse effects of exhausting all his chakra volume were more serious than he expected them to be making him unable to exert any energy and an extremely worn out spirit in the following days to come.
Undoubtedly Kuroto is glad that the Tenseigan pair within his eye sockets is his own, making it perfect sync with his soul and body so the burden is easy to bear.
If his Tenseigan would have been transplanted from others, then by now he would have suffered an irrecoverable backlash, and even if he somehow managed to survive he would have lost much of his vitality.
And this was the case with Otsutsuki Toneri; after being defeated by Naruto the Tenseigan he awakened by transplantation of Hanabi's Byakugan faded away since his chakra and spirit were exhausted.
When someone like Toneri; capable of cutting the Moon in half wasn't able to keep the Tenseigan awakened, goes to show just how difficult it is to maintain the Tenseigan.
Similar is the case with the Rinnegan, the power displayed by Madara with it is obviously of another scale compared to Nagato or Obito.
They never used techniques like Tengai Shinsei, or Rinbo: Hengoku and other superior techniques of the Rinnegan like Madara did, this clarifies just how different it is when the real awakener uses the dojutsu compared to non-awakener.
The weaklings don't even have the qualification to possess the Eyes of Gods!
This again confirmed Kuroto's guess that his Tensigan is in sync with him spiritually and has been suppressing its abilities instinctively to avoid causing any irreversible damage to Kuroto who isn't yet worthy of possessing them.
After understanding this Kuroto couldn't help but sigh emotionally.
Now Kuroto has also understood not use all his chakra rashly in the future, at the same time he is more obsessed with the artificial tailed beast, the same kind of obsession that Orochimaru had with the Sharingan. As a result of which Kuroto couldn't help it anymore and asked Miko-sama to teach him Fuinjutsu.
However, her reply was a disappointment for him.
According to Miko-sama Miko's Fuinjutsu techniques can't be used by those not carrying their blood, and this point has been verified by several generations of Miko's.
Simply put, it's a Kekkai Genkai. This is also the reason why the position of Miko's of the Land of Demons is inherited only by their descendants.
So, Kuroto had no choice but to sigh in disappointment, but Miko-sama still promised to help him learn the other Fuinjutsu techniques he wants, as a Fuinjutsu master it is not very difficult for her to understand other techniques. Therefore, Kuroto immediately entrusted all the 700+ Fuinjutsu techniques involved in the artificial tailed beast plan to Miko-sama and asked for her guidance.
Miko-sama was also not reserved but in fact, showed great interest.
All the sealing techniques involve in the artificial tailed beast plan are of the Uzumaki Clan. Being the most proficient clan to have even developed techniques like the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, the Adamantine Sealing Chains, the Four Symbols Seal, etc. Even Miko-sama with extreme mastery over Fuinjutsu was amazed by their skills.
After several days of research and learning, combined with her own knowledge, she soon became familiar with the Uzumaki seals and mastered all the Fuinjutsu techniques involved in the artificial tailed beast plan.
"These techniques are simply too deft, Uzumaki's were really admirable to have developed such amazing knowledge." these words came from her heart.
Uzumaki Fuinjutsu style focuses on 'Controlling the strong by the weak'. With the weak body of a human, monsters like tailed beasts can be easily suppressed, this is the reason why since the establishment of Konoha, Kyuubi's Jinchuriki has always been the Uzumaki clansmen.
So, after learning all these sealing techniques Miroku felt that she had actually taken a big advantage off of Kuroto, which is why she wholeheartedly guided him in learning Fuinjutsu without any reservation…
