Guy approached Kuroto after the meeting and said, “Kuroto, are you taking revenge?”
Kuroto seemed somewhat perplexed as he questioned, “What do you mean?”
“I won’t say anything about the test next month, that’s good,” Guy remarked. “But what about the method of announcing results, which is to post them on the school’s notice board… Isn’t it going to be too much? The entire village will be aware of the results using this way…”
Kuroto’s perplexity persisted, and he said, “So?” once more.
“Have you considered the feelings of individuals who rank last and are not very talented?” Guy asked, nervously.
“No one knows better than us about the feelings of people who rank last,” Kuroto stated, placing his hand on Guy’s shoulder. “However, I also believe that this is the only way to motivate these children… How will they survive in conflicts if they can’t handle such minimal pressure? Where would their incentive to develop come from if there is no pressure on their shoulders?”
Hearing Kuroto’s explanation, Guy felt that it was reasonable, “Although you are right, however…”
He used to rank among the top few from the downward order when he was a student in the ninja academy; he felt pressure at the time, but he was never overwhelmed, and he worked harder because he wanted to overcome Kakashi, the kid who used to rank at the very top from the upward order. It was this notion that he worked harder and trained more arduously than everyone else…
At the end of the day, all of his hard work and sweat paid off, and he is now who he is…
As a result, he acknowledges that being under pressure isn’t always a terrible thing.
But… but…
“At that time, the second great shinobi war had just finished, significant battles between nations were raging, and the third great shinobi war was about to begin, thus the pressure was required to motivate the students at the academy,” Guy said, shaking his head. “So…”
“You appear to be forgetting something, Guy,” Kuroto interjected before Guy could finish his sentence, “Isn’t now wartime too…? Or is it possible that the Akatsuki Organization does not pose a threat to Konoha and the Shinobi World in your eyes…?”
“Well, if you phrase it that way…” – Guy was rendered speechless.
When Kuroto noticed Guy was silent, he got up from his seat, came up to the window, and stated gently, “I can tolerate these children cursing me for making their life tough, and I can accept these children cursing their trainers for being hard and unkind to them… But I can’t accept these children dying in vain on the battlefields…
These children are green, and they have yet to see the harshness of this world; but, that day will come, and when it does, I want them to be prepared; I want these children to have strong minds so that they do not break… I don’t want these kids to wind up like the majority of our friends…”
Guy’s emotions shifted as he listened to Kuroto’s reasoning… He’s been through the dangers and sorrows that come with wars… He and his genin companions would have perished in the third Great Shinobi War if not for his father’s sacrifice.
“You must constantly remember that we are all shinobi, and as shinobi, we will all travel to the battlefield at some point,” Kuroto remarked calmly. “If they can’t endure even this small strain, it’s better to be a civilian.”
“I get it…” Guy nodded seriously, then stood up and walked out of the meeting room, his face solemn.
Watching Guy leave, Kuroto smiled lightly.
…
A few days later
The Ninja Academy’s new laws were promptly promulgated thanks to Kuroto’s aggressive promotion.
The trainees sobbed bloody tears as they read the notification, realizing that everyone was now in danger.
Even the eldest Naruto has been diligently practicing the ‘Three-Body Techniques,’ which will be evaluated later this month… No one, including Naruto, wants to be the crane’s tail in the eyes of the entire village.
As a result, the daily pattern of challenging Sasuke on campus has dwindled, and the playground is no longer the same.
At the same time, after some intellectual wrangling, Danzo finally agreed to Orochimaru’s proposal and permitted him to carry out a complete transformation of his body.
Danzo issued an invitation letter to the Amatsukami Organization, inviting Homusubi to observe this transformation process, maybe to offset Orochimaru’s presence.
Kuroto, or rather, Homusubi, naturally accepted the invitation after receiving it. He has long yearned for Orochimaru’s human body modification technique, but he also understands that learning the essence of Orochimaru’s body modification technique only by viewing the operation in real-time is tough.
Kuroto transferred his soul into the Homusubi Clone and came to the Root Base on the day of the operation.
After all of the preparations were finished, the remodeling work began right away.
In addition to Danzo on the operating table and Orochimaru in charge of the procedure, there is also the root’s chief research officer, Uchiha Tsukihi in her Homusubi guise, and two Danzo guards in this makeshift operating room.
The presence of these bystanders appeared to have had no effect on Orochimaru’s ability to operate the scalpel in his hand, as he skillfully controlled numerous surgical equipment and began the remodeling procedure.
The fact that Danzo’s physique is aged can’t be denied.
As a result, Danzo’s physical metamorphosis should not be too drastic. Otherwise, given Danzo’s physique, one would either die from a lack of control over the Hashirama Cells or from organ failure.
With this in mind, Orochimaru injected a huge amount of fusion fluid into Danzo, attempting to strengthen the union of the Hashirama Cells and the Sharingan he had implanted in his body… Because his body will only be really strong when the Yang Chakra of the Hashirama Cells and the Yin Chakra of the Sharingan he has implanted in his body are truly united.
Although Orochimaru hasn’t seen the stone tablet left by the Sage of Six Path in the Naka Shrine, this doesn’t stop him from appreciating the significance of Yin and Yang harmony on the basis of Chakra equilibrium.
“Ah…” Danzo abruptly screamed in pain after receiving a heavy dose of fusion fluid.
The two Danzo guards in the surgery room were anxious and glared at Orochimaru with homicidal intent.
They were stopped by Homusubi. “Don’t get worked up over it; that’s a normal human reaction!”
Although Homusubi is unsure of Orochimaru’s fusion fluid’s exact composition, the fluid’s purpose is to suppress the body’s rejection reaction and speed up the merging of transplanted cells, flesh, and blood with the person.
The human body’s biological impulse is rejection. The body will naturally suffer some harm and discomfort if one’s instincts are forced to be suppressed. This can’t be avoided.
“It was, after all, a natural reaction…”
Danzo’s crying gradually diminished over time, and his body changed as well.
The portion of the body where the Hashirama Cells were transplanted is the most noticeable. The creases on the surface of that hand have begun to fade, the skin has smoothed out, and the entire body appears to have aged several years.
Tsukihi’s everlasting kaleidoscope writing wheel eyes have been triggered under the mask of the flame pattern, and because of the eternal kaleidoscope writing wheel eyes, she can see all the small changes in Danzo’s body.
“This is the power of ‘Creation of all things,’ and it can’t be wrong…” Homusubi sighed, clearly moved.
