Chapter 877 Amatsukami Analysis Report: Part 2
As Kuroto turned the page, the next name that appeared before his eyes was that of Suijin from the Amatsukami Organization. Having witnessed firsthand the clashes between Sandaime Hokage and the shinobi of Kirigakure, Kuroto found the description of Suijin's battle style, tactics, and Jutsu to be far more intricate.
Kakashi spoke, "Undoubtedly, you should already be familiar with him, considering your unfortunate encounter with him nearly eight years ago."
Kuroto nodded, "Yes, he and Homusubi suddenly materialized before me and Shisui, subjecting us to a chilling freeze." Of course, this fabricated story served as a cover for Kuroto and Shisui's actual deeds.
Kakashi concurred, "Indeed… It's highly likely that Suijin is a skilled shinobi hailing from the extinct Yuki Clan of Kirigakure. His mastery over Ice Release Kekkei Genkai and Water Release Jutsu is extraordinary, enabling him to engage Sandaime-sama on equal footing. Additionally, he possesses an enigmatic technique that transforms him into a colossal dragon-like creature, capable of summoning an oceanic phenomenon in the sky. Only through the combined efforts of Yondaime Mizukage in his perfected Jinchuriki Mode and elite Shinobi from Kirigakure did they manage to compel his retreat.
Furthermore, there exists a possibility that he engaged several members of the Akatsuki Organization during Orochimaru's tenure. Not only did he confront them head-on, but he also emerged from the encounter alive, underscoring his formidable prowess and extensive combat experience."
Kuroto nodded, perusing the description of Suijin. Even without Kakashi's information, Kuroto possessed intimate knowledge of the enigmatic shinobi named Suijin. His gaze fixated on the term "unidentified" and he inquired with a faint smile, "So, we still have no inkling about his true identity?"
Kakashi sighed, "Regrettably, no… Even the denizens of Kirigakure remain clueless as to Suijin's origins. Over the past two decades, during the era of the ‘Village of the Bloody Mist,' numerous Shinobi defected from the village, making it arduous to distinguish friend from foe… Moreover, in that era, those possessing Kekkei Genkai were relentlessly persecuted by Kirigakure authorities following the Coup d'état. As a result, many concealed their true identities and their affiliations with Kekkei Genkai-bearing clans. Consequently, ascertaining Suijin's potential identity proves to be an exceedingly challenging endeavor."
"Hmm," Kuroto acknowledged, absorbing the information.
About the situation in Kirigakure, nobody possessed a deeper understanding than Kuroto himself. During the days when Yagura was clandestinely manipulated by Obito, uprisings erupted in Kirigakure almost every month. Even now, the village struggled to recover from the scars of civil wars, making it unsurprising that the true identity of ‘Suijin' remained elusive.
