nIn the blink of an eye, three weeks passed.

nAnd he was wrong on the part that the village would be sending a support team due to lack of the number of people at this outpost.

nKuroto was quite doubtful as to why the Konoha village did not send any support team during this period, nor was he of Anko sent on any so-called 'special mission'?

nThis is obviously not in line with his expectations, nor in line with common sense.

nIt would be understandable if there was some kind of short delay but three whole weeks? How can that be allowed? It is simply unthinkable to leave the guardpost understaffed!

nThis leads to only one possible scenario, at least that's what Koroto can think of.

n'Could it be that something major happened in the village?'

nKuroto then searched in his memories to find the clues to figure out if there was some kind of major event that happened at this point in time, but he wasn't getting anywhere as his memories are too vague.

nBut suddenly a picture flashed in his mind, and he was covered in a cold sweat, he now had the answer and all could do was murmur it silently:

"Nine… Nine-tailed Chaos!?

"

nAlthough he doesn't remember the exact time of Kyuubi Rebellion happened, Kuroto does know that it happened on the night of Uzumaki Naruto's birth.

nNaruto's mother, Uzumaki Kushina, who was the current Kyuubi's jinchuuriki, had all the information related to her regarded as highly confidential. And someone with zero political power like Kuroto can't inquire about her status.

nBut this does not affect his speculation, because Hinata is about the same age as Naruto, and he has already received news that the patriarch's wife was pregnant before he left the village. If Naruto is a few months older than Hinata, then Naruto's birth should be around this period.

n

"Why did I forget about this!?

"

nAt the bottom of his heart, Kuroto blamed himself.

nIn fact, this is also unavoidable. After all, he has been in the world of the ninjas for more than ten years, and his memory is a lot vague. In addition, he has always been under the threat of death because of his weak strength. Until recently, he neither had the ability nor any willingness to intervene in various major events, so he didn't care much about them happening in the Ninja World if they didn't involve him, and delved all his attention in finding a solid method to improve his strength.

nNow it's different now. With the Tenseigan awakened, he already has the ability to intervene in many things, so now he must pay attention to every major event in the Ninja world like a real reincarnated individual in order to profit from them for his advantage.

nAfter making a mental note for himself, Kuroto analyzed the current possible situation in the village.

nIf the Kyuubi Rebellion did happen, it means that the power center of the village will change drastically.

nThe Yondaime Hokage-sama, who was in his prime, passed away together with his wife Uzumaki Kushina who was the Kyuubi jinchuuriki, as a result of which Konoha has again lost two shinobi with Kage level Combat power. This will lead to an awkward state of the current military power of Konoha.

nIn the previous decade, Konoha has lost so many powerful individuals, Hayate Sakumo committed suicide, Senju Tsunade left because of experiencing severe mental trauma due to the death of her brother Senju Nawaki and lover Dan Kato, then not long ago Orochimaru defected, following which Jiraya left the village to pursue Orochimaru's tracks and now two of the most powerful shinobi have again passed away.

nIn current Konoha, if two-generations involving the young and the middle-aged generation, if we exclude Jiraya who is not in the village, then there is almost no one left with the combat power of Kage level.

nSandaime Hokage-sama and Shimura Danzo are the only two people with the highest raw power currently

nIn addition, at the time of the Kyuubi Rebellion, Kyuubi was suspected of being controlled by the Sharingan, leading the top decision-making authorities to suspect the Uchiha Clan to be responsible for this, as such the complete Uchiha Clan, an important combat force of the village was under constant surveillance and completely isolated from the rest of the village under high pressure.

nAll the powerful members of the Uchiha Clan were on the watch list. And based on the memories Kuroto can predict that Uchiha's infighting with the village will be inevitable.

nAfter thoroughly analyzing the changes that Konoha will experience in its power center, Kuroto began to analyze the change in his own situation because of Kyuubi Rebellion.

nThere is no doubt that the left-over old subordinates of Orochimaru are no longer such a threat to the village when compared to the powerful Uchiha Clan, suspected of causing the Kyuubi rebellion.

nWhat's more, a large number of ordinary ninjas were killed in the Kyuubi Rebellion, therefore the village has lost a lot of manpower, not only they have to rebuild the destroyed area immediately, but also deploy elite shinobi's to monitor the Uchiha clan, even if it is Konoha, strongest of the five major villages. I'm afraid that the manpower is still not so much at hand, especially because of the large number of death in the third ninja war, so it is not unreasonable to ignore the border post for some time.

n............

nIt didn't take long for Kuroto's speculations to be confirmed true.

nThe village sent a message, 'Abandon the outpost', and all the staff was ordered to immediately return to the village.

nAfter a simple cleanup, the four people at the outpost embarked on the returning journey back to the village. On the way, Kuroto secretly rejoiced, feeling that he was lucky, that Sasori did not find him for such a long time.

nIn fact, Kuroto was thinking about this matter.

nIt was actually an accident that resulted in him seizing up Sandaime KazeKage's puppet, Kuroto obviously didn't do it intentionally, and even if he did, he doesn't think he could have achieved it.

nKuroto is clear about this, but he doesn't know whether Sasori is clear about this or not.

nIn the eyes of Sasori, Kuroto's Rein Wheel Pull and the technique of manipulating puppets without the Chakra line or need for printing hand signs are really weird, which caused him to misestimate the strength ofKuroto, mistakenly believe that Kuroto's strength is at least the level of an elite jonin, therefore Sasori might have directly ignored some random border outpost that generally doesn't have any elite-jonin personnel as staff for keeping watch unless there is some emergency period which was obviously not the case at that time.

nThis is because according to common sense, border outposts that are mainly used for early warning will not deploy elite jonin.

nAs a result, the border post where Kuroto was located became a state of 'black under the lights', but it also became the safest place for him. This is why the Sasori has not been able to find Kuroto up until now.

nRushing all the way hurriedly, the four finally returned to the village a week later.

nThe village at this time is simply a big construction site, everywhere busy workers can be seen, various scaffoldings were spread throughout, transport vehicles were continuously coming and going.

nAnko asked Kuroto with a little confusion while pointing towards the damaged city walls in the distance:

"What happened in the Village?

"

nThe two suspected root ninjas who were traveling with them seemed to know some news, but looking at the scene in front of them, they still showed surprises in unison.

nObviously, the damage to the village far exceeded their previous expectations.

nKuroto was also surprised at this moment.

nAlthough it has long been known that the Kyuubi Rebellion brought deep bone marrow damage to Konoha, the dilapidated scene of the village still made it difficult for him to adapt for a while.

nYou must know that even in the three shinobi wars that have occurred since Konoha's establishment, and the village never once suffered such severe losses!

nAfter arriving at the task center, the four of them disbanded after a brief task handover.

nKuroto, who was finally freed for the first time in months, is not idle but inquired about the changes in the village.

nBefore long, he collected a lot of information.

nFirst of all, the exact time when the Kyuubi Rebellion occurred was about a month ago. If you count the time, it happened to be within a few days before or after, Kuroto encountered Sasori at the border.

nSecondly, in the turmoil of just one night, the village lost more than 20 elite jonins and hundreds of chunin and genin ninjas. Almost all the ninja families in the village suffered casualties. It is said that the funeral alone lasted for a whole week.

nIn the end, several blocks that had been ravaged by the Kyuubi were completely razed to the ground. The casualties of civilians are hard to estimate. Even now, there are still many civilians whose bodies have not been found.

nAfter collecting enough information, Kuroto returned home full of thoughts.

nThis guy Obito is no stranger to Kuroto, because, among the classmates of the same period, there were few who can barely be defeated by Kuroto, and Obito was one of them.

nAnd now such a person has grown strong enough to fight Yondaime Hokage-sama while controlling Kyuubi simultaneously and control the entire Ninja World in the palm of his hands as the backstage big BOSS and that too with just single mangekyo sharingan.

nTo be honest, Kuroto is really upset, this is too frustrating, even if Obito had the Uchiha Madara's inheritance with him or Zetsu helping him out to some extent.

nHowever, although Kuroto was upset, and he also knew in his heart that now that Obito had Mangekyo Sharingan and Hashirama's cells implanted in him, he was no longer the tail of crane, so Obito can't be treated similarly to how he used to be during their ninja academy days.

nAt the same time, Kuroto also has an ambition in his heart.

nSince Obito can stir wind and rain in the entire ninja world with just a single mangekyo, then why can't he who has finally awakened the Tenseigan get out of merely being an audience and step on the stage and control the ninja world as he wants?

nDecide the trajectory of the flow of events as per his whims?

nOr

nSimply change the face of this forsaken world into how he sees it fit to be?
