Kuro's theory were about tricking his mind to think that he needed either of the three (17, 21 or Zero) than the darkness in him.
He didn't know which three will come in or it will work so that is why he said 'Gacha Roll.' It is just some stupid joke of his.
'I want out too, peko! (1%)' Pekora said so but she was ignored so she got even noisier.
'Don't ignore me peko! (1%)'
'Damn it peko (1%)'
'Fappiu (1%)' Finally she couldn't hold in anymore, she started insulting in a way 17 and 21 sometimes do.
Because of the different accents, she managed to successfully fail it.
'Hey me, are we going to continue doing this? I am starting to feel sorry for her. (6)' Kuro whispered to 21.
'Keep continuing it, if you started giving her attention it will take 111 years for her to shut up. (21)'

Meanwhile in the real world, 17 started exercising Kuro's body, experimenting with it—moving it from fingertips to his toe—17 moved every body parts he can.
'This feels so nostalgic.' 17 thoughts to himself as he proceeded to using some techniques Kuro trained hard to learn or make.
[Origin Mana] to create an magic circle, create an physical objects, controlling [Force Explosion] to create an weak explosion that barely harms his fist. [Ki Sense: God's Eyes]
'hm. perfect. my(6) body perfectly remembers the moves and our souls were showered with the experiences.' Now that he confirmed that there was no abnormality in his(6) body under his (17) control,
"ah, ahh Ahh~" 17 started practicing tone. Kuro(6) had two normal tones which he uses regularly—One was an childish tone he uses when he is joking around, the specialty about this tone was
It sounds abnormally cute...
"Ahem." Kuro(17) coughed.
The second tone was the specially cold voice that made people chilly. When speaking with this Kuro instantly make an unknown pressure in the atmosphere making peoples sweat in their back.
As he was done practicing his tone, Ayame instantly approached to him as she pointed her blade in his neck.
"Where did you take Kuro?" Her hairs turning black, she made an similar cold tone on what Kuro sometimes make.
'Crap, she is scary.' Kuro(17) felt his heart beating specially fast now.
"He-he wanted to take a break so he left this matter to me." Seeing the psychopathic-like girl in front of him, Kuro(17) was reminded of Gasai Yuno from Future Diary.
Except, this one here have the potential to be more terrifying.
'Ahh, crap. How should I convince her? hey, me, can you come out a bit? (17)'
'Nah, I don't need to come out. (6)' While 17 started a conversation with himself, Ayame said brightly.
"Oh, is that so. Sure then! Use me whatever plans you comes up!"
"O-okay..." 17 said troubled.
'Is it... okay for this to be this easily?' 17 thoughts to himself but he quickly grasped the current situation.
.
.
.
Closing his eyes, he activated the his Ki Sense.
[Ki Sense: God's Eyes]
The Kuro now had the mind of an adult and the body of a child, he was extremely close situation with Edogawa Conan.
As he is right now, Kuro wouldn't do things half-heartedly. Using the God's Eyes at his limit, by removing all the unnecessary information, Kuro kept in all the important information.
Human, Sea Creatures, Bridges, Ground, Durability, Attacks. Even if Kuro got rid of the unnecessary information, the information of these past 1,000m were still enough to make an ordinary person's brain paralysis.
However, 17 wasn't an ordinary person and Kuro's pain resistances came from him.
[Information: The Battle For Bridges]
[Goal: Keep the bridges intact]
[Winning Conditions: Stop the enemies' attack.]
[Lose Conditions: The bridges destroyed, people dies.]
[Estimated Time For The Troops to Lose Their Strengths: 50~55m]
[The Probability of Reinforcements Arriving in Time: 0.7%]
[Quest Start]
17 silently chanted to himself as he opened his eyes.
Snapping his fingers, a plate appeared above his hand, teleported from somewhere—inside the plates were an still warm food.
Laying the food on the top of bridges, 17 created a blade with his Origin Mana before cutting his palm.
Soon enough, blood started flowing out, taking his hand outside the bridges, blood flew down to the water below the bridge,
the fishes or some disgusting creatures starting splashing toward the direction where the bloods flowed like an Neutral Monsters Idiot.
The next moment, 17 threw the still-warm plate with foods in it—as the food hit the water surfaces, the idiots which was splashing around to greedily eat the bloods now changed their goal, now going toward the foods.
Like an hungry idiots.
[New Route Discovered: Genocide]
[Genocide Routes Advantages: All sea creatures dies, The Great Naruto Bridges will be safe for a period of time.]
[Genocide Routes Disadvantages: May not entirely annihilate the ocean creatures, the environment will be destroyed, the alliances opportunities with ocean creatures will be lost.]
"Hey, Ayame, which route do you prefer, Genocide or Pacifist?" 17 looked at her as he noticed the strangeness inside his body.
"Hmm... Genocide is where you kill everyone and Pacifist is where you make everyone friendly, right? If it was me, I'd choose a pacifist route! I want everyone to live happily and ever!"
She gave out an adorable and innocent decision.
"Okay." Kuro nodded to her.
This time, before taking an action, he undergone the final self-test. The test was easy and can be done quickly.
He looked at Okayu which was doing her best to protect the bridge before shifting his eyes to the girl in front of him.
Then compare the changes in his body.
'As expected.' His(6) heart was beating fast when he(17) was looking straightly at Ayame's eyes.
'I(6) am in love.' Kuro(17) smiled toward himself(6).
'But you are not at the age to notice your own feeling yet.' Saying to himself inwardly, he snapped his finger making the portal big enough for the two person as they teleported toward Uzumaki's sides.
"Hey Zuma, you have any devices that'll allow me and Ayame to safely dive onto water? The one that's human sized and won't interfere with my movements."
It's just a coincidence but I just thought of something amazing.
Anyway I honestly have no plan on how I should finish this arc and get to the Aqua/Marine Arc.
