Chapter – 717 Why can’t it be me?

Danzō asked in disbelief, "How can you be the leader of Amatsukami?!"

Kuroto questioned curiously, "Why can't it be me?!"

Danzō asked, "The overall strength of the Amatsukami Organization far surpasses even that of the Akatsuki Organization, not to mention any other shinobi village out there. As for the identity of the leader Yama, I have been investigating for many years now, but I haven't been able to get any clue, not a damn single clue! So… how… how could it be you? You were right under my nose all along!"

Looking at the stupefied Danzō, Kuroto chuckled lightly, "To be honest, it's all your credit… The reason I became the leader of Amatsukami, heck the very reason I created Amatsukami, it's all because of you… You wanted to destroy the Uchiha Clan, but I didn't want that to happen… at the same time, I didn't want to attract any attention to myself, so I secretly created Amatsukami… if not for you, perhaps Amatsukami wouldn't even exist. And ever since the conflict with the Akatsuki Organization increased, Amatsukami is protecting Konoha."

Hearing Kuroto's words, Danzō became speechless, "You… you!"

He thought of all the things Amatsukami had done in the past, and he was surprised to find that he couldn't deny that the actions of Amatsukami indeed protected Uchiha Clan from being exterminated. At the same time, Amatsukami is also protecting Konoha from the threat of the Akatsuki Organization.

Thinking of all this, Danzō became more and more speechless. He still can't believe that the person behind all of this is a boy from the Hyuga branch who had been living right under his nose all along…!

This is too absurd for him to believe!

"Heh… you are having a really hard time accepting this fact, now think about the Akatsuki Organization… the founder of the Akatsuki organization… Yahiko–who died because of your plotting with Hanzō of the Salamander from Kirigakure–was Jiraiya-sama's disciple… even the current leader Nagato is Jiraiya-sama's disciple and a member of the Uzumaki Clan so not only the leader of Amatsukami… but even the leader of the Akatsuki Organization is also related to Konoha in one way or another…" said Kuroto.

In fact, not just Yahiko, and Nagato, but even Obito the leader of Akatsuki on the dark side is also from Konoha. Even the mastermind responsible for bringing Nagato and Obito to this path, Uchiha Madara is also from Konoha!

So, it's not wrong to say that the core of the Akatsuki Organization is from Konohagakure.

As for Amatsukami? There is really no need to talk about them.

In conclusion, it won't be wrong to say that both Amatsukami and Akatsuki who are coercing and dominating the Shinobi World are all people of Konoha fighting among themselves, all along, it has been infighting and internal conflict within Konoha that has swept the entire Shinobi Wolrd and nothing more.

Hearing Kuroto's words, Danzō's expression became sluggish.

What Kuroto just said completely subverted his knowledge of the two organizations and of Konoha Village.

But soon, Danzō took a deep breath ignored everything, and focused on the matter of evolution of his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, "Whether you truly are the leader of Amatsukami or not… none of that matters now… The moment my eyes evolve, even if it is you, I will crush you!"

"Heh… is that what you think?" Kuroto smirked and glanced at the short black blade that was piercing Danzō's body.

"Such a small injury isn't worth mentioning… I have Shodaime Hokage-sama's cel–!" Just halfway through his words, Danzō couldn't help but again vomit out blood… At the same time, he was surprised to find that the place where he was stabbed by Kuroto had become completely numb and this numbness is constantly spreading.

Swish!

Seeing Danzō a little panicked, Kuroto suddenly pulled out the short black blade, and while playing with it in his hand, he explained, "This is no ordinary blade, in fact, it's not even a blade… it's known as Truth-Seeking Orb, it's actually the fusion of all seven chakra natures. Unless you have Six Path Chakra or Senjutsu Chakra, then let alone fight, you can't even survive once you touch this thing… your body will disintegrate, no matter how strong your recovery is… so you see…"

"Truth-Seeking Orb?!" Danzō muttered in confusion and fear as he listened to Kuroto's explanation.

He has gone through the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual, so he can somewhat understand the implication of the fusion of seven chakra natures.

While Danzō's face turned pale, Kuroto continued, "When you chose to absorb her Visual Prowess instead of running away, you missed your chance to escape… now, death is the only thing you will get, there is no way to escape that."

"No…! I won't accept this! How can I die like this!?" Danzō shouted and used his free hand to attack Kuroto.

Boom!

Instantly, countless tree vines rose from the ground and swarmed Kuroto.

However, they weren't able to do any damage as Kuroto just molded the Truth-Seeking Orb in his hand into a sharp rotating double-edged knife and cut down all the vines. No matter how many tree vines kept coming, they couldn't get close to his body and kept turning into ash.

Danzō was taken aback, "How is this possible? My Wood Release is as strong as Shodaime Hokage-sama… it is of no effect?"

Hearing Danzō's words, Kuroto was speechless, "Either you are a complete idiot, or a completely ignorant, or maybe too arrogant, you haven't even touched the threshold of Senjutsu and you dare to compare your Wood Release to Shodaime Hokage-sama…?"

Of course, even if it was Shodaime Hokage-sama's wood Release, it wouldn't have been that much trouble for Kuroto. But Kuroto was too lazy to bother to deal with Danzō anymore and just with a wave of his hand, he released a strong push force from his hand and destroyed all the trees at once.

As Kuroto used Shinra Tensei, his eyes glowed for a moment and attracted Danzō's attention… seeing those eyes, Danzō was taken aback and exclaimed, "Your eyes… they are not Byakugan! Whose eyes did you transplant?"

Kuroto replied in a flat tone as he stepped forward, "Why would I transplant someone else's eyes? These are my own!"

Danzō shook his head and took a step back, "No, it's impossible! You are a Hyuga… how can you have any Dōjutsu other than Byakugan? You must have stolen someone else's eyes! Answer me! Whose eyes did you steal?!"

Kuroto snorted, "Just because you like to steal other's Dōjutsu, you think others are the same?" and explained, "The Uchiha's Sharingan can evolve into Mangekyō Sharingan, Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and the Rinnegan… Why can't Hyuga's Byakugan evolve?"

"Evolution of Byakugan?" Danzō's eyes widened in shock, "Is that really possible?!"

"These Tenseigan of mine are the proof that Byakugan can evolve!"
