As Satori realized that it was being dragged out of the village, its struggle intensified as it tried to return to the village. Seeing this, Kuroto frowned, "Why is it trying to return to the village? Is it because Aoki gave it so kind of instruction?"
The Tenseigan, of course, has the power of controlling others. In the canon, Toneri used this ability of the Tenseigan to control Hinata. Considering that Aoki used the chakra of the Giant Tenseigan of the Hyuga Clan to release Satori’s seal from the Box of Bliss, it's not impossible that he gave such an instruction to Satori.
This could be the only reason; otherwise, Satori wouldn’t be so persistent to return to Konoha. Figuring out the reason, Kuroto made up his mind, “I can't allow it to return to the village!" He tightened his grip around Satori and sped up.
It didn't take long for Kuroto to completely drag Satori out of Konoha and smash it into the forest in the distance.
BOOM!
RUMBLE!
The impact caused by the fall of Satori made the ground rumble as trees were crushed, and smoke and dust covered the sky.
…
Konohagakure
As Kuroto dragged Satori away from the village, the residents of Konoha finally breathed a temporary sigh of relief. However, the loud rumbling from a distance, the continuous violent shaking of the ground, as well as the roars of the monsters that still reached their ears, told them that a terrifying battle was occurring outside the village between Godai Hokage Hyuga Kuroto and Satori. The result of this battle might even decide the fate of Konoha.
If Kuroto wins, Konoha will be saved; however, if Kuroto loses, there is a very strong possibility that a major disaster will break out in Konoha because nobody seems to have the power to fight against Satori in the village, save for Kuroto.
“Kuroto-kun… I will do what you instructed to do… and I trust in your strength. Therefore, you must defeat that thing and co back to safely!” thought Yui as she prayed for Kuroto to win.
“Hokage-sama… you… you must win!”
“The fate of Konoha depends on you, Hokage-sama!”
“Kami-sama, please bless our Hokage-sama… he must not lose!”
The villagers who experienced the attack of the Nine-tailed fox more than eleven years ago were reminded of that night’s tragedy and prayed for Kuroto’s win.
Tonight is very similar to that night; the only difference is that instead of the Nine-Tailed Fox, the one attacking the village is the monster Satori. And instead of Yondai Hokage Namikaze Minato, the one defending the village is Godai Hokage Hyuga Kuroto.
Due to these similarities, many Konoha residents and shinobi are worried that even Godai Hokage might die while trying to seal the monster, just like Yondai Hokage died while attempting to seal the Nine-Tailed Fox.
Feeling the shocks and explosions that did not stop, Tsunade-hi appeared worried. For the aftershocks to reach this far, Tsunade-hi tried to imagine how fierce the battle outside must be. Although she was not present on the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox’s attack, she also found a lot of similarities.
Therefore, she too was worried and spoke to Elder Hiruzen with a dignified expression, “Sensei… I will go after him… Even if Kuroto can hold it on his own, with both of us combined, it would be easier to deal with it.”
Elder Hiruzen nodded, “Hmm,” and spoke, “Take two squads from the Sealing Division with you as well.” Then he paused for a mont and turned towards Anbu, “Go to that place and bring the Box of Bliss. That monster needs to be sealed; killing it is simply not possible.”
If it wasn’t for the fact that the matter regarding the Uchiha’s Coup wasn’t completely resolved, and he needed to sit at the center to make sure that things don’t escalate, Elder Hiruzen would have personally followed Kuroto to deal with that thing.
Tsunade-hi nodded, “All right,” then she took a few shinobi from the Sealing Division and rushed in the direction where the battle was going on.
At the sa ti, the Anbu whom Elder Hiruzen had instructed nodded, “As you command!” He took a squad with himself to the location where the Box of Bliss was sealed.
…
It didn't take long for Tsunade-hi and the two Sealing Squads to arrive at the battlefield. However, as soon as they arrived, they were surprised to find that the scene before them was completely different from what they had imagined.
Considering the violent tremors, they had imagined a fierce battle going on between Kuroto and Satori. However, that wasn't the case at all.
At the center of the ssy forest, Satori seed to be bound by an eastern dragon-shaped creature that coiled around it, spewing out powerful chakra blasts at Satori, which caused repeated rumbling. Satori’s roars that echoed from ti to ti appeared to be its wailing as it suffered under the attacks of the purple Eastern Dragon.
anwhile, Kuroto, wrapped in the sa Chakra Cloak, was hovering in the sky, looking at everything transpiring below, including the miserable appearance of Satori, with an indifferent expression on his face.
Seeing this scene, Tsunade-hi and the others were taken aback. “It… it seems to have been completely defeated!”
“Great… Hokage-sama defeated this monster!” the mbers of the Sealing Squad cheered in happiness.
Of course, the arrival of Tsunade-hi and the mbers of the Sealing Squad she brought didn't go unnoticed by Kuroto. “Great timing…” he muttered as he flew down and landed beside them.
“Hokage-sama!” called the mbers of the Sealing Squad with respect and admiration. After witnessing Kuroto’s strength, his actions, and his dedication to protecting Konoha, their initial respect turned into admiration. With his actions tonight, Kuroto has proven that he is not the weakest Hokage, as many people thought. Rather, he is strong and capable enough to turn despair into hope, as he saved the village from Satori!
Tsunade-hi spoke with a sigh, “You kid… I was really worried. Turns out that it was for nothing. You have already subdued the monster. How did you even bypass its ability to read killing intent and maliciousness?”
Kuroto shrugged, “I am just too fast for it. Even if it can read killing intent and maliciousness, it's unable to react to my speed.”
“I see,” muttered Tsunade-hi in understanding. At this ti, Kuroto said, “Although I have defeated Satori, sealing it is a bit cumberso… Help out a bit!”
In fact, if ‘Kuroto' wasn't a Shadow Clone, he would have sealed Satori on his own without any trouble. However, being a Shadow Clone, he has a few limitations, and therefore, he requires the assistance of the Sealing Squad.
Tsunade-hi nodded, “Yes,” then instructed the shinobi with her, “Everyone, let’s seal it!” The Sealing Squad responded and took their positions. Kuroto also flew over, and under his lead, the Sealing Squad started the procedure of sealing Satori inside the Box of Bliss, while Tsunade-hi kept a watch around.
Although the individual strength of the mbers of the Sealing Squad is average, with each of them being a Chunin, because they are all masters of Fuinjutsu, under Kuroto’s guidance, they were able to seal Satori. Its body started to get sucked inside the Box of Bliss, and its roars disappeared.
As the threat of Satori was resolved, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, just as everyone was starting to relax, several strong Chakra fluctuations appeared in the distance, causing everyone to beco vigilant once again. These fluctuations naturally appeared within Kuroto’s range of vision. His expression changed, and he looked at Tsunade-hi, instructing, “Take care of the Box of Bliss…” Without waiting for her reply, he flew in the direction from where the Chakra Fluctuations were coming.
