Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Although Kuroto felt a bit unpleasant, he knows Shisui wouldn't be using Mangekyo Sharingan abilities here, which is similar to how he wouldn't be using Rein Wheel and KakeKage's puppet.

What's more, if Shisui really did take out the big guns likes of Katoamatsukami and Susanoo here, Kuroto is quite sure he can't resist them without going all out, so without worrying too much, he calmly accepted the victory. ​​

After forming the Seal of Reconciliation, Kuroto walked off the battle range and was immediately surrounded by Guy, Asuma, and other Chunin around.

Guy happily congratulated: "Congratulation Kuroto!"

After winning this round, Kuroto's promotion to a Tokubetsu Jonin was now official, so Guy congratulated him in advance.

Asuma glanced at Shisui in the distance, and whispered to Kuroto, "I was right to have thought that Shisui has a well-deserved reputation. Except for you, I am afraid, close to nobody here can defend his Body Flicker technique!"

Guy also raised his head and agreed with Asuma's words: "Hmm, I thought for quite a long time, but I couldn't figure out a way to defend against this technique. Shisui's Body Flicker Technique is so fast, his kenjutsu skills are also off the charts, I am afraid if I have to fight against him, then without relying on Hachiman Tonkou I don't stand a chance."

Listening to the praises he was getting from all around, Kuroto thought silently, 'To some extent, I with the Tenseigan does restrain the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan.

Firstly, the Tenseigan is extremely resistant passively to normal Genjutsu, even if it is cast by the Sharingan user, this fact alone greatly suppresses most of the Uchiha specializing in Genjutsu.

Secondly, with the powerful insight provided by the Tenseigan, I am almost immune to Uchiha's Special Shurikenjutsu, which again makes me almost invulnerable to the Uchiha's with mastery in Shurikenjutsu.

And lastly, because of the evolution of the Byakugan to the Tenseigan, and the awakening of all the 33 genetic sequences, my growth in chakra volume has also surpassed most of the Uchiha of the same generation, therefore I have a lot of tactical advantages over the Uchiha because of higher Chakra level.

Of course, these advantages only lie over the normal Uchiha with 3 tomoe Sharingan.

If I have to compare against the Uchiha's with the Mangekyo awakened, it would be really hard to say whether my Tenseigan could withstand the Mangekyo Dojutsu techniques, at least at this point.'

Breaking out of his thoughts, Kuroto just smiled at Guy and Asuma who were still discussing Shisui's Body Flicker technique, and said "It is undoubtedly true that Shisui is the most genius Uchiha of this generation, and besides Itachi who is still very young in terms of age I am afraid hardly anyone can match him, so him having such strength is quite normal, don't worry too much about it."

Asuma nodded at Kuroto's words but his face remained gloomy.

Guy laughed heartily, "Ha ha ha, there is one more goal I have to catch up to….!!!"

Asuma was speechless by Guy's optimistic attitude, "What is there to be so happy about it?"

Guy patted Asuma on the shoulder and showed his white teeth while laughing happily, "The passionate competition between companion is the real YOUTH!!! You have to work hard Asuma, or you'll be left behind in the dust...."

Fending off Guy's hand that was patting his shoulder, Asuma looked at Kuroto, then glanced at Shisui in the distance, and finally stared at Guy, "Left Behind!? Huh…. don't underestimate ME!!!!" After speaking this Asuma turned and walked away to the side angrily.

Guy didn't care about Asuma's anger and started looking around eagerly, muttering to himself, "When will it be my turn!? My blood is rushing, I can't wait to fight!!!"

....

After the staff cleaned and repaired the damage of the 1st battle range, the assessment continued.

Guy and Asuma performed well and successfully defeated their opponents, each receiving a valuable spot in the Tokubetsu Jonin ranking.

After a series of more rounds, 15 winners were quickly decided, and with the emergence of these 15 winners, the Tokubetsu Jonin assessment officially came to an end.

Although Uchiha Shisui lost to Hyuga Kuroto, but because of his off the chart's strength and impeccable performance, he also won an extra special spot and was successfully promoted to a Tokubetsu Jonin.

Regarding Sandaime-sama's decision of promoting Uchiha Shisui to a Tokubetsu Jonin, under special consideration, none of the other candidates expressed any opinion, this is because everyone witnessed the battle between Hyuga Kuroto and Uchiha Shisui, and they all know that Shisui is overqualified for the rank of Tokubetsu Jonin rank, but it was just his bad luck to have been pitted against Hyuga Kuroto that resulted in his loss.

After the assessment was completed, Hokage-sama stopped Hyuga Kuroto, Might Guy, Sarutobi Asuma, and Uchiha Shisui behind.

While exhaling a puff of smoke from the tobacco pipe, he examined the four Tokubetsu Jonin, and spoke quite frankly, "The four of you are some of the most excellent shinobi of your generation, you all are also the future pillar strength of the Konoha Village, therefore, to further enhance your strength and experience, I hope you can accept to join the Anbu department and become the cornerstone of the village to protect Konoha from the shadows."

Konoha is in really dire need of a new generation of shinobi with high strength, Hyuga Kuroto, Might Guy, and Uchiha Shisui did not hesitate for a moment and immediately agreed on the spot, each has their respective reasons and objectives to accept this opportunity, but the ultimate goal is still the same.

However, that's not the case for all the four present here, unexpectedly Sarutobi Asuma, the son of Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, clearly expressed his opposition to the idea of joining the Anbu unit, he folded his arms over his chest and said, "I don't want to become a sneaky guy in the shadows!"

Hokage-sama frowned at the unexpected answer from his son, and spoke coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about!?"

Sarutobi Asuma, who is in his rebellious teenage period, and has his daddy issues, was not afraid of Hokage-Otōsan. He coldly swept past Kuroto, Guy, and Shisui and shouted at Hokage-sama in a loud voice, "I will prove to you that I am no worse than anyone here!"

After declaring this, he shook his head and left the office before anyone could react.

Asuma is not an idiot but in fact is a truly perceptive person, at least as a strategist he is a genius, so after these few rounds of assessments, facing the opponents in each round being exactly weaker than him, he realized the tricks being used to make him qualify as Tokubetsu Jonin.

Although Kuroto might believe that there's nothing wrong with this, but Asuma on the other hand who has got his Daddy issues can't stomach the fact according to his self-esteem that he is promoted because of the political influence of Hokage-Otōsan.

And he also realizes that he is not strong enough to fight against the likes of Hyuga Kuroto and Uchiha Shisui, and he can't guarantee his win even against Might Guy, so choose to leave with disappointment.

After Asuma's little trouble, Hokage-sama didn't have any interest left to continue to say anything, he just briefed the three about the whole process of being recruited into the Anbu, and then turned and left.

Being exhausted for the day Kuroto rejected Guy's proposal to celebrate their promotion and returned home alone.

But as soon as he entered the house, he found the one-eyed viper sitting right in the corner of his room, hissing his tongue.

After taking out the note from the Viper's mouth and looking through it, Kuroto burned it immediately, following which he changed into everyday clothes, and went to a specific Izakaya in the village.

Going up to the second floor, he entered a single reserved room and said to Orochimaru who was calmly resting while sipping Sake as if he was in his daddy's laboratory, "Orochimaru-sama, it could be very dangerous sneaking into the village in the broad daylight!"

"Dangerous!?" Orochimaru smiled contemptuously, "The Yondaime and the Kyuubi's Jinchuriki are no longer in Konoha and the old man is all time busy with the official and political affairs of the village. The village is far less dangerous for infiltrating than it seems."

And indeed, Orochimaru is damn well correct. There are not many Kage-level Shinobi's in the village and after the death of Yondaime-sama, hardly anyone in Konoha could pose a threat to Orochimaru who is a Kage-tier ninja himself.

Whether it is the toad Sannin Jiraya or the Sandaime-sama himself, they would be resistant to using full force when fighting against Orochimaru because of their long-term kinship and master-disciple relationship.

Not to mention him being almost unkillable, cockroach-like tendencies.

So, although Konoha at this time seems to be heavily guarded, for the likes of Orochimaru, who is extremely familiar with all the secret passages and routes of the village, coming to Konoha is like taking a walk in his backyard.

Thinking all this in his head, while resisting the oppression of being in Orochimaru-sama's presence, Kuroto asked respectfully, "In that case, what did you need me for?"

Orochimaru stared at Hyuga Kuroto for a while and finally spoke, "Oh don't be so hasty, how was the Tokubetsu Jonin ranking-up assessment? "
