_______________
Watching Rokuro disappear into the distance.
Danzo raised an eyebrow slightly.
He had originally planned to assign Nikō and Masashi to Rokuro's team.
The goal was to force Rokuro to experience the pain of loss and separation eventually, molding him into an emotionless ninja. But now, it seemed that brat didn't need to go through that at all.
Companions?
Even if they died, he probably wouldn't shed a tear.
A person with this kind of personality came with both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage was:
When sent on missions—even against his own comrades—he wouldn't fail due to a soft heart. He was already a qualified Root ninja; he didn't need the standard emotion-killing training.
The disadvantage was:
He wouldn't be easy to control. A guy like this wouldn't easily submit to anyone. Not even to him, Danzo.
For someone like Kanda Rokuro, only self-interest could bind him.
He loved training. Therefore, Ninjutsu and training resources were the best weapons to control him.
As for betrayal?
Danzo wasn't worried.
Konoha was the strongest village in the ninja world. Rokuro wasn't stupid; why would he rebel against Konoha? Besides, Konoha possessed the most training resources in the entire world.
Although he wasn't afraid of Rokuro betraying him.
Necessary precautions still had to be taken.
That guy Kuro.
It seemed he couldn't be allowed to die too soon.
In a few years, he would let Kuro retire. Otherwise, if he kept fighting, using the Tyrant Body Style too frequently would likely kill him at any moment.
Right now.
Rokuro probably only had deep feelings for Kuro.
He needed to use Kuro to tether Rokuro to Root.
After thinking for a while.
Danzo got back to work. The Cloud ninjas were causing trouble again, and he had to act. As for Kanda Rokuro, he was only at the Chūnin level right now; there was no need to worry too much about him yet.
Kuro's Home.
Rokuro arrived in the training room and immediately began training.
As for Danzo's test earlier, he didn't care about it at all.
He couldn't be truly emotionless.
But when his own safety was at stake, he could be ruthless.
After all, he was a transmigrator; he didn't have much emotional attachment to this world.
Even if the person closest to him died, he wasn't sure if he would truly be sad.
Take Kuro, for example.
Right now, he was indeed very grateful to Kuro.
But if he were asked to die for Kuro, he felt he wouldn't be able to do it.
Training.
Thinking.
Time passed slowly.
For the next three days, the Random Quests were all minor tasks.
Day 1: Go into the forests of Konoha and eliminate a wild boar.
Day 2: Prank Hanata.
Day 3: Go to the entrance of Danzo's office and shout, "I want my Chūnin vest!"
He completed all three quests.
200 Experience Points per quest.
Doing these petty tasks made him feel that the System must be a vengeful little brat. Otherwise, the missions wouldn't be this boring; they were things only a child would do.
Three days passed.
He felt enough time had gone by.
So, he decisively dumped his Experience Points into the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Instantly!
He had fully mastered the basics of the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Inside the training room, he couldn't wait to cast it.
Poof!
A Shadow Clone appeared.
Staring at the clone that looked exactly like him, Kanda Rokuro's expression turned somewhat serious. He sized up the clone and said,
"Your mission today is to train in swordsmanship!"
The Shadow Clone nodded.
"Alright, give me the sword!"
Rokuro handed the Cloud Illusion Sword to the Shadow Clone.
Holding the sword, the clone found a spot and began practicing Kenjutsu.
Rokuro continued his own Taijutsu training.
After a while, Rokuro suddenly asked the Shadow Clone a question:
"Hey, since you are me, is there anything else inside your head?"
The Shadow Clone looked at Rokuro in confusion.
"What for? Are you saying I have a tumor in my brain?!"
Rokuro shook his head.
"No, I mean when you train, do you feel Experience Points increasing?"
The Shadow Clone looked completely bewildered.
It seemed he didn't know what Rokuro was talking about.
Seeing this, Rokuro breathed a sigh of relief.
When he watched Naruto, he knew that Shadow Clones had their own thoughts and inherited certain personality traits of the user. This made him worried that if the Shadow Clone also possessed the System, some kind of change might occur.
Like betrayal.
From the looks of it now...
It seemed the Shadow Clone didn't have the System, nor did it have Experience Points.
This made him relax.
However!
He didn't completely let his guard down.
He knew his own personality best. The Shadow Clone's expression could very well be an act.
The matter of the Shadow Clone...
He would have to research it more in the future and only rest easy once he was truly certain there were no issues.
Relaxing slightly, he resumed his training.
The Shadow Clone also continued practicing swordsmanship.
About five hours passed before the Shadow Clone turned into smoke and vanished; it seemed its stamina was exhausted.
The instant the Shadow Clone disappeared, Rokuro felt incredibly exhausted. He immediately spent 100 Experience Points to restore his stamina.
Feeling refreshed, he checked his Taijutsu Experience Points.
One look.
And his eyes lit up.
The Shadow Clone's training was indeed effective.
His Taijutsu Experience Points had increased by 11 points.
It seemed that in the future, he should create a few more Shadow Clones to train. That would rapidly increase his training speed.
However!
Shadow Clone training still consumed his stamina and Chakra.
He had to save up more Experience Points so he could replenish his stamina and Chakra at any time.
