Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Kuroto is not surprised that Obito is using the power of the Akatsuki to find the mysterious black-masked man that he faced at the Root Base.

After all, Kuroto not only fought against Obito but in fact, survived that small bout, and this might have caused some doubts in Obito's mind about the identity of that mysterious person. ​​

For Obito, the sudden appearance of such an existence is a great variable in the project Tsuki No Mi.

And Obito would obviously not allow such a variable to continue to exist that might interfere with his plan, but unfortunately for him, no matter how hard he tries, even if he uses all the power of the Akatsuki Organization, he wouldn't be able to find anything about Kuroto.

What's more, now that Shinichi has passed on this intelligence to him, so Kuroto would obviously be more careful.

"Heh… Shinichi is also very keen sometimes, from the vague description alone, he was able to guess that the person Obito is looking for is me!" – Kuroto chuckled and put away the scroll.

In the past few months, there has been no peace in the Shinobi World.

Uchiha Shinichi's defection broke away the peace talks going on between Konoha and Kumo, as a result, both the nations have again fallen into a deadlock state.

Konoha is accusing Kumo of giving asylum to Shinichi and plotting against Konoha.

Kumo obviously denies it with a straight face, claiming that they have never even seen Uchiha Shinichi, and have no plans of accepting a defected Shinobi.

However, the fact that Kumo dispatched the unit led by Yugito Ni into the hinterlands of the Land of Fire can't be hidden, so their words obviously not credible, let alone Konoha, even other great Villages have distrust at their pitiful excuse of self-defense.

This time Kumogakure's name has fallen into mud, and there is no way to change that.

There are even rumors that the Uchiha Clan also sent someone to Kumogakure secretly, in an attempt to contact Shinichi that might have defected to Kumo, but no one knows what happened to be exact.

It is only thanks to the fact that Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan was revealed and him fighting Shinichi on a one-on-one basis that stopped Kumogakure to not start a war again, but there is still a lot of Anbu tasks that Kuroto has been completing.

Mostly those tasks are done by his Shadow Clone that's still in Konoha, and thanks to Shisui's effort, no one has been able to figure this out yet. Kuroto would of course go back to Konoha after completing each mission to remain updated, and therefore he has knowledge of most of the underground movements.

In such currents, the information of the thievery of Ryuumyaku had very little impact.

Although Sandaime paid some attention to the intelligence that Ryuumyaku disappeared along with all the Roran Survivors, but the continuous troubles he has been facing that are involved to Konoha is keeping him occupied, so he has no energy to deal with Ryuumyaku's issue, therefore, that intelligence has been added to the archives.

Konoha's indifferent attitude towards the theft of Ryuumyaku caused the suspicions of the senior leaders of Sunagakure, so they are tending to believe that this is Konoha's handiwork. This again caused a headache for Sandaime-Sama.

Overall, the current situation has been too troublesome, but it had no major effect on Kuroto, he is still arranging things for the completion of his plan.

As for the too many Anbu mission that Team-11 has to handle?

Kuroto's Shadow Clone has about half of his Chakra, so the overall strength of the Clone also surpasses the level of a Jonin, coupled with the presence of Shisui, Kakashi, and guy.

There is hardly any opponent that they can't deal with!

…

A few weeks later, Mishima Clan Mansion.

"Yagami-San, the equipment you want has arrived." – The head of the Mishima Family, Mishima Yutaro said respectfully to the person opposite to him who was dressed as a Ronin with a bamboo stick in his mouth.

The Samurai named Yagami nodded with a smile, "Then bring it in."

This samurai named Yagami Iori is none other than Kuroto who used a Transformation Jutsu upon himself when he entered the territory of the Land of Iron.

Inspired by the rogue-nin, Kuroto was also going to take the villainous route to gather funds, so he had the idea of hitting on some wealthy merchants to start his rip-off streaks.

After a careful investigation, it didn't take him long to land on the Mishima Clan, which has a large-scale garment business in the Land of Iron, the party is both rich and also doesn't have the backing of any great Shinobi Village, so Mishima Clan was finalized by him as the first target.

Initially, Kuroto planned to kidnap one or two Concubines of the current Patriarch and ask for a big ransom in exchange, but it turned out that on the night he planned to make his move, he happened to discover that the Concubine had a secret affair with a Samurai hired by the Mishima Clan, and Kuroto actually witnessed them while they were doing the deed.

After a little investigation, Kuroto discovered that the secret couple planned to poison the head as well as the rest of the members of the Clan to seize all their property.

Upon finding such information, Kuroto immediately changed his approach and appeared before Mishima Yutaro, as a wandering samurai named 'Yagami Iori.'

And through careful planning, he revealed the conspiracy of the Concubine and the Samurai before Mishima Yutaro, and even the other conspirators involved in all that scheme were also eliminated by him with ease, making Mishima Patriarch very grateful of the said Ronin.

His life-saving grace and extraordinary skills immediately made Yagami Iori a special guest of Mishima Yutaro.

Although Mishima Yutaro doesn't have the backing of any of the Five great power, the business they have in major countries is not small, therefore they have many contacts in major countries.

For this reason, Kuroto used the Mishima Clan's contacts to purchase the various experimental equipment that he needed.

If he were to purchase these instruments with his own identity, he would soon be spotted by someone. The intelligence department of any village isn't blind to such purchases and would soon investigate him.

At least Konoha would, in the hopes of tracking the missing-nin, Orochimaru.

And if Kuroto purchased this equipment through the Black market, the price will increase by 40% to 50%, and such a large purchase would again attract attention from the interested parties.

So, through the contacts of the Mishima Clan, purchasing pieces of equipment in small batches would provide a cover as well as reduce costs.

So, although Kuroto didn't get any ransom, this approach still helped him.

After the servants of the Mishima Clan carefully brought everything into the yard, Kuroto hurriedly walked over.

Mishima Yutaro smiled at Kuroto's eagerness and followed after him and gave some description of the things present, "Look here, Yagami-San, this Filter Centrifuge is the latest piece of equipment from the Land of Lightning, I had to use several of my connection to get my hands on it!"

"I am really grateful Mishima-Sama!" – Kuroto nodded and moved his gaze to the other device, and asked with a frowning expression, "Hm, this one is a used, right?"

Mishima-Sama nodded and explained, "Don't worry, although it's not brand new, it is still in perfect working condition!"

Kuroto also understands that arranging some of the new equipment will be difficult for merchants even through their personal connections, so he didn't blame Mishima-Sama.

So, after an understanding nod, Kuroto checked the rest of the devices one-by-one, and finally expressed his gratefulness towards Mishima Yutaro with a satisfactory expression, "Thank you for helping me out!"

With that, Kuroto gave 90 Million Ryo he collected to Mishima Patriarch.

Kuroto estimates that the total market value of all these devices would be around 110 Million Ryo, and he buys them through the Black-Market connections, it would reach up to 140 Million Ryo, so obtaining the first batch at just 90 Million Ryo greatly benefitted Kuroto.

After one last check over everything, Kuroto carefully stored them in the storage Scrolls and left the Mishima Mansion.

Puff…

As soon as Kuroto stepped out of the Mansion Gate, Kasai emerged with a puff of smoke.

Stretching its furry paw towards Kuroto, it asked, "Meow, One Thousand Ryo, Boss!"

Listening to the cat's demand, Kuroto asked it, "Can't you ask Shinichi for the money?"

"He already gave it, meow!"

Kuroto was stunned, "So, you collect One Thousand Ryo from both sides?"

He always thought that only he had to pay, but unexpectedly even Shinichi had to spend money to receive the services of his summon ninja Cat.

The Orange Cat nodded with a greedy grin as the Dollar sign emerged in its eye, "Yes, that's it, meow!"

Helplessly shaking his head, Kuroto passed One Thousand Ryo and took the small scroll sent by Shinichi.

"The search for the mysterious person came to an end, the organization has locked two guys. Juzo Biwa, the guy who is my partner in the organization and I, are responsible for finding the first person whose name is Shinno, while Orochimaru and Sasori's team is responsible for finding another person named Hiruko."
