Chapter 224 Correcting Hyuga Ginka, Utakata Attacks

Chapter 224 Correcting Hyuga Ginka, Utakata Attacks (6k)

"So...powerful."

Hinata Ginka's eyes gleamed with a strange light, as if she had grasped a glimmer of hope.

Kiyoshi is strong and powerful, and he can even fly!

Such a technique would likely consume an enormous amount of chakra, which would mean that Kiyoshi's endurance and stamina would be... astonishing.

If it were Kiyoshi, it wouldn't be impossible for him to save Nobuhiko's life and rescue him.

Hinata Ginka stood there, lost in thought.

"what?"

Hinata Natsumi didn't hear Hinata Ginka's mutterings clearly.

"nothing."

Hinata Ginka shook her head, her expression indifferent.

This is not something that Hyuga Natsu, a servant, should know.

"what is that?"

"So bright!"

"Uchiha? I've never seen this technique before."

The people around him were making a fuss, looking at Qing Si with curiosity and awe.

They had seen techniques that could attach a certain chakra nature attribute to a person, but Kiyoshi's was clearly not one of them.

Who can possess chakra and cause changes to their physical body?
Golden vertical striped pupils, raised keratinized granulation tissue, and faintly visible scale patterns.

It gives people... a snake-like feeling.

"Sage Mode."

As Fugaku Uchiha watched Kiyoshi dissipate his chakra and gradually return to his original form, he seemed to understand something.

Besides Jiraiya possessing "Sage Mode," there are actually other rumors circulating about "Sage Modes."

Back then, Madara Uchiha obtained the "power of the Mangekyou Sharingan" and even used the Nine-Tails as a summoning beast. The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, relied on "Sage Mode" to fight against it.

The struggle between Madara and Hashirama took place several decades ago, and much of the information is recorded in the clan's ancient texts.

Normally, everyone is risking their lives, living the life of a ninja who lives on the edge of a knife, and they don't even have time to improve their strength, so few people read or study history books.

If it weren't for the Three Commandments of Ninjas, Fugaku probably would have led many ninjas into a life of debauchery and indulging in the present moment.

"A young man with great potential."

Hiashi Hyuga brought his clansmen over.

If Kiyoshi hadn't launched such a swift attack, disrupting the Kirigakure ninjas' formation, the situation might not have ended so easily.

"Fugaku, your Uchiha clan is full of talented people."

Hiashi Hyuga sighed.

"No, the same goes for nobles."

A smile appeared on Fugaku's square face.

Regardless, Kiyoshi's increased strength is a good thing for the Uchiha clan.

This war needs powerful ninjas.

If Konoha falls, the Uchiha clan will face being forced to wander the ninja world.

The Land of Whirlpools, founded by the Uzumaki clan, is the best example. It was once so powerful, and its sealing techniques reached the pinnacle of the entire ninja world, yet it ended up with the destruction of its country and the extinction of its clan.

Other ninja villages only wanted the Uchiha bloodline, not these remnants of the old regime.

After all, having obeyed the "Will of Fire" their entire lives, how could their loyalty possibly compare to that of the new generation who have been brainwashed since childhood?

"We'll take a break today."

After speaking with Hiashi for a while, Fugaku issued an order.

The crowd began carrying the wounded inside, cleaning up the battlefield, and redeploying the cordon.

Kiyoshi was immediately surrounded and received many congratulations.

Novel things always easily arouse people's curiosity.

After dealing with the crowd for a while, Qing Si squeezed through the crowd and walked into the tent.

It's time to harvest the puppet clones.

Kiyoshi would harvest the puppets every other day, dismantle their clones, and gain their various experiences.

"Kiyoshi, what kind of move was that?"

Kiyoshi hadn't gone far when Sarutobi Asuma ran over.

"Want to learn?"

Qing Si turned back.

Sarutobi Asuma scratched his head, genuinely curious about the ninjutsu Kiyoshi had used; it was so impressive.

"It's definitely going to be difficult, Asuma."

As the sun sets, crimson figures stroll gracefully towards her.

She was also very curious.

However, fearing that this move would be presumptuous and damage her image in Qing Si's eyes, she refrained from asking Qing Si.

"It's quite difficult. If you fail in your studies, you'll turn into a snake and get eaten."

Qingsi said calmly.

Even Orochimaru couldn't learn Ryuchi Cave's "Sage Mode." Kabuto Yakushi had to cobble together techniques and modify his body countless times to be able to withstand Ryuchi Cave's "Sage Mode."

The same applies to Mitsuki, whom Orochimaru cultivated. He was a gene-edited clone from the start, and even then, it took many experiments before he succeeded once.

Finally, Mitsuki was placed next to Boruto, forming a new trio for the new era.

"Turn into a snake?"

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Asuma began to have second thoughts.

This risk is far too high; it's no different from practicing forbidden techniques.

"Kiyoshi, there weren't any lasting effects, were there?"

Xihi Kurenai said worriedly.

I gently pinched Qing Si's strong arm and found that it was normal skin, without the scales of a snake.

"Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, also possesses this ability; you can consider it as the power of a Sage."

The corners of Qingsi's mouth rose slightly.

Is it really necessary to worry so much just because of something I said casually?

The "Sunset Red" training program is becoming increasingly mature.

Kiyoshi could tell that he held a significant place in Kurenai's heart.

In the original work, Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi would develop into lovers, but their relationship was far less close than depicted in the story.

Sarutobi Asuma's one-sided pursuit never seemed to receive a response from Yuhi Kurenai.

Thinking of this, Kiyoshi's pupil power increased slightly.

Yes, what you, Sarutobi Asuma, cannot obtain, I can obtain with ease.

The three chatted for a while until dusk fell.

Having arrived here, they naturally couldn't just sit around doing nothing. Soon, Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi left to attend to their respective missions.

Perhaps because he was new to the place, or perhaps because he had just performed brilliantly, Kiyoshi stayed in the tent without being assigned any tasks.

Kiyoshi was happy to have some peace and quiet, so he began his practice in the tent.

Bang.

The puppet clones were summoned by Kiyoshi and then vanished into smoke.

"The progress bar for the Fire Release Jonin attribute is at 95%."

Kiyoshi closed his eyes, sensing the experience after the puppet clones were released.

Directly dispelling the puppet clone will result in significant chakra depletion due to the distance.

The greater the distance, the greater the loss.

Therefore, unless it is an emergency, Kiyoshi usually summons a puppet clone and then dispels it.

The same thing happened last time in Ryuchi-dong, except that Kiyoshi's spiritual communication was quick and easy.

It's worth noting that he also has the entry for Summoning Ninja, because the White Snake entered its developmental stage and was promoted to Chunin.

The chakra consumption required for summoning has been greatly reduced, and the summoning process has been simplified. As long as there is a piece of cloth on your body with the summoning incantation written on it, you can immediately perform a summoning.

When the simple alarm clock in the Qing Si tent struck seven in the evening, the sound of footsteps rang out.

"Reached?"

Before even seeing the person, Kiyoshi knew who it was through his senses.

"It's Madam Yinhua. There shouldn't be any grudges between us anymore."

Kiyoshi pulled back the curtain, feigning confusion.

Hinata Ginka bit her lower lip, feeling like she was being pricked by Kiyoshi's gaze, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

But when she thought of Hyuga Nobuhiko, Hyuga Ginka still took a few deep breaths.

She forced a smile onto her delicate and beautiful face.

"Qing...Qingji...kun."

Seemingly out of reverence for Kiyoshi, Hinata Ginka found it difficult to speak, stammering out a single sentence over and over.

"So, Madam Yinhua can use the word 'respect' now. I thought you always treated everyone with a haughty attitude."

Kiyoshi smiled as he listened to Hinata Ginka's words.

Her smile was somewhat jarring, and Hinata Ginka buried her head deeply.

Asking for help from someone she once looked down on was indeed a difficult situation for Hyuga Ginka.

If I hadn't said those discriminatory things about the Uchiha clan and offended Kiyoshi, things probably wouldn't have turned out this way.

Hinata Ginka felt a pang of regret.

"Kiyoshi-kun is too kind. May I go in first?"

Hinata Ginka wore only a thin coat, which, as the cold wind blew, outlined her figure.

She tightened her body, afraid that her clansmen would see her in front of the Uchiha tent.

It wouldn't be good if gossip about me got out.

She just wanted to get inside as quickly as possible before saying anything.

"Isn't that inappropriate? I'm afraid people will gossip and spread rumors."

Kiyoshi said in a serious tone, as if expressing his fear that Hyuga Ginka would implicate him.

"..."

Hyuga Ginka almost couldn't hold back, and the veins in her snow-white eyes almost involuntarily surfaced, a trait only seen when using the Byakugan.

She's a young woman and she didn't say she was afraid of gossip, yet this guy, Kiyoshi, said such things.

Do you dislike her?

Hinata Ginka's stiff expression softened for a moment, replaced by an even more ingratiating smile.

"Kiyoshi-kun, actually, I have come here today with an important matter to ask of you."

"what's up?"

Qingsi smiled.

He already knew what Hinata Ginka wanted him to do.

But Kiyoshi just wouldn't point it out.

Such a haughty, arrogant, disdainful, and mocking noblewoman is, to put it bluntly, a sissy.

No, it should be "female demon".

The Qing Si took a proper rest.

The practice of "Gentle Fist" by the female members of the Hyuga clan from a young age is not without its benefits; it promotes physical development, and beneath their heavy robes lies a vast and powerful heart.

Hinata Hyuga is the best example of this.

This perfectly describes the phrase "looking slim in clothes but muscular when undressed."

"I would like to ask Kiyoshi-kun to take care of Hyuga Nobuhiko's life when he is on a mission with the unit."

Hinata Ginka prayed.

Unexpected disruptions today caused the timing of the operation to change.

It is estimated that they will launch an attack on Kirigakure tomorrow to ensure that Hyuga Nobuhiko's bloodline is not leaked.

As for whether he himself is alive or dead?

Few people would care about Hyuga Ginka; in fact, some people would rather Hyuga Nobuhiko die, because once he's gone, everything will be fine.

"Save Hyuga Nobuhiko..."

Kiyoshi pulled the curtain wider and made way for him.

Hinata Ginka breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and seeing that no one was looking in her direction, she confidently walked into Kiyoshi's tent.

"The environment is simple, so let's leave it at that."

Inside the tent, there was only a bed, a small table beside the bed, and a teapot.

Hinata Ginka stood for a while, but eventually had no choice but to sit on Kiyoshi's bed.

I was feeling somewhat tormented.

She is a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder related to cleanliness.

Kiyoshi observed this very well.

"Don't you even have the most basic manners if you want someone to do you a favor?"

Kiyoshi's tone turned colder.

Hyuga Ginka waved her hands repeatedly, saying that she didn't have any.

She looked at the teapot on the table, stood up, poured herself a cup of tea, and handed it to Qing Si with great courtesy.

"cold."

Kiyoshi took a sip and unceremoniously placed the teacup on the table.

"me……"

When faced with Kiyoshi's difficult behavior, Hinata Ginka thought to herself that there was no heating equipment available here.

"what happened?"

"I will be right back."

Hinata Ginka took the kettle and went to a public water dispenser outside to fill it with hot water.

When I got back, I brewed another pot of tea for Kiyoshi with hot water.

"It's right this time."

Kiyoshi drank it all in one gulp. Seeing Hyuga Ginka's expression of utter humiliation as she desperately tried to hide her displeasure, he couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that Hyuga Ginka usually makes things difficult for Hyuga Natsu, but now the tables have turned.

"What's wrong, feeling tired?"

Kiyoshi glanced at the panting Hyuga Ginka.

"I...I can give you the money. Didn't we settle our score before?"

Hinata Ginka also realized that Kiyoshi was deliberately trying to make things difficult for her.

She looked unwell, only managing to stay upright by sheer willpower.

After searching his body for a while, he took out a sealing scroll and gave it to Kiyoshi.

"There's 700,000 here. I think that's more than enough to hire you for an S-class mission."

The Hyuga clan is indeed a large clan with many businesses under its control, and Hyuga Ginka also received dividends.

The amount that an ordinary ninja would need to fight to the death to achieve in order to save money is equivalent to what she earns by collecting her monthly dividends. Over a year, she can save a considerable amount.

"As expected of the main family, they are very generous."

Kiyoshi didn't even glance at the sealing scroll, but simply pulled back the curtain and gestured for him to leave.

"If you're not sincere, please leave."

"!"

Hinata Ginka was stunned.

No, even 700,000 won't buy you a single act of kindness from Qing Si?
Does this guy consider money dirt?
"Kiyoshi... Kiyoshi-kun, I... I'm not tired at all, please continue to give me your orders!"

Hinata Ginka hurriedly spoke up.

She tugged at Qing Si's sleeve, her tone filled with sorrow.

"hehe."

Kiyoshi's face showed even more smiles.

He did this in order to suppress others.

To correct the arrogant Hyuga Ginka, you have to keep suppressing her.

She considered herself a lowly person.

Only in the end can one inherit the fine virtues of the Hyuga clan: being a devoted wife and mother, raising children with love and care.

In retrospect, this is actually a good thing.

It's normal for Hinata Natsu to be working for him now and to stand up for his subordinates.

"Then... could you give me a back massage?"

Kiyoshi lay on the bed, face down, his broad back facing Hinata Ginka.

Hinata Ginka nodded and went to help massage his back.

"No, don't you know it should be lower?"

Kiyoshi turned his head and glanced at Hyuga Ginka, who was massaging his back.

"Continue...low?"

Hinata Ginka was slightly taken aback.

She shuddered as she looked into Kiyoshi's meaningful gaze.

Lower it further, and you can massage the back more thoroughly.

But then you'll run into Kiyoshi.

Because the human body is not flat, but has curves.

The curved surface will fall due to gravity, a fact known to all the ninja students at the ninja academy.

Hyuga Ginka, after all, is a Chunin.

She knows these things very well.

"I...I am Hinata..."

Hyuga Ginka invoked the name of the Hyuga clan, attempting to politely decline.

"You might not believe it, but the Hyuga and Uchiha were once one family."

"Kiyoshi-kun, you're joking."

Hinata Ginka's fingers, which were pounding her back, could no longer control the force.

How could the Hyuga clan possibly be related to the Uchiha clan, who are inherently evil and insane?
"Hurry up, didn't you want me to go rescue Hyuga Nobuhiko? I've been running around all day, how can I be in top form if I don't get some rest?"

The Qing official appealed to their emotions and reasoned with them.

Hinata Ginka's heart skipped a beat.

Uchiha Seiji... could he be interested in her?

This guy likes older women?

Hyuga Ginka felt a chill and fear.

But... what else could she do?

Hinata Ginka remained silent for a long time, her gaze fixed on Kiyoshi's back.

Finally, bending down slightly to get closer and give Kiyoshi a better back massage.

This shameless act of trying to please others caused Hinata Ginka immense torment.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Kiyoshi finally made her stop.

Hinata Ginka took a few steps back.

What puzzled her was that no matter how much force she used, Kiyoshi's back didn't leave any marks.

What level of physical skill is required to achieve such resilience?

Hinata Ginka couldn't understand it, and didn't want to think about it.

Her mind was in turmoil at that moment.

"Leave the money, you can go."

Kiyoshi waved his hand.

"Nobuhiko's matter..."

"I'm a soft-hearted person, and I'll spare his life when I'm on a mission."

Upon receiving a definite answer from Kiyoshi, Hinata Ginka burst into tears of joy.

As Kiyoshi watched Hinata Ginka thank him and walk away, a smile crept onto his lips.

This is the end?

Of course that's impossible.

He is a man of his word; if he says he will save someone's life, he will definitely do so.

As for his health condition and whether he has taken back his eye-rolling, that's another matter entirely.

No longer involved in this transaction.

Need to pay more.

Kiyoshi recalled the heavy weight he had just felt on his back, and a smile crept onto his lips.

His pupils regained some strength.

The chakra bottleneck... slowly rises.

The greater the amount of chakra, the more "Sage Chakra" can be synthesized.

With the "Sage Mode" amplifier, Kiyoshi's base stats will become much stronger with each additional point.

"How much more eye power will be added when it's time to harvest it?"

Kiyoshi was curious whether the revised Hyuga Ginka could compete with Hyuga Natsu in terms of loyalty.

Sometimes, it's good to have the branch family and the main family compete together.

……

Hinata Ginka Tent.

Hyuga Natsu, who was helping Hyuga Ginka tidy up her things, saw Hyuga Ginka hurriedly returning towards Kiyoshi's direction.

A terrible thought surged into her mind.

Could it be that Hyuga Ginka went to see Kiyoshi because of Hyuga Nobuhiko?

If that were the case... that would be so exciting.

Hinata Natsu felt a shiver run through her body.

Could the prestigious main family really end up like her?
Even those high and mighty people will experience what it's like to serve others.

This impartiality gave Hinata Natsu a distorted sense of equality.

In the shadows, half of Hinata Natsu's beautiful face was obscured.

As Hinata Ginka approached, Hinata Natsu's face broke into a genuine smile.

"You must be tired, Madam Yinhua. This is tonight's dinner."

"no appetite."

Hinata Ginka was surprised that Hinata Natsu was being so proactive today.

But she wasn't in the mood to think about it and hurriedly walked past Hinata Natsumi.

She rummaged through her clothes and changed into a new outfit.

"Go and throw this dress away."

Hinata Ginka threw away the clothes she had just worn with disgust.

How can I accept Kiyoshi's clothes after I've already touched them?
"Yes, Madam Yinhua."

Hinata Natsu put the clothes away and went to the area outside the camp where she was responsible for handling the daily garbage.

Just as they were about to arrive, Hinata Natsu stopped.

"This is definitely worth keeping."

Hinata Natsu secretly kept the clothes.

She will take the clothes out again if there is ever a day when "equality" truly exists.

I imagine Hyuga Ginka's expression will be priceless.

"It's time to go see Lord Kiyoshi."

Hinata Natsu walked toward Kiyoshi's tent.

…………

The next day.

The coastline on the border of the Land of Fire.

"The ninjas from Konoha have arrived."

Ao used his Byakugan's ability to see far to relay information to the other Hidden Mist Villagers.

"Is Uchiha Kiyoshi, whom you mentioned, inside?"

A man with long hair covering half his face, wearing a dark blue Mist Ninja combat uniform, said.

"Lord Utakata, please be careful, that guy knows flying ninjutsu."

Qing said.

Flying ninjas are akin to a dimensional reduction attack against non-flying ninjas; if they can't win, they can simply run away.

"It's alright, I can do it too."

Yu Gao smiled faintly, exuding a refined and scholarly air.

"Even Yu Gao is here."

Ringo Ameyuri stood among a group of Kirigakure ninja, a look of interest flashing in her eyes.

She was curious about how Uchiha Kiyoshi would deal with Utakata.

Utakata is the jinchūriki of the Six-Tailed Saiken!
Furthermore, it is skilled in using the "Bubble Technique," and can also fuse with the Six-Tails' "Acid" to increase its power, making it impossible to defend against.

If both of them can fly, they might end up in an aerial battle later on.

"Senior Yu Gao is very strong?"

Mei Terumi asked curiously.

She had never seen Utakata fight.

Tailed beasts, as weapons of war, are typically only deployed last.

Even if used in war, it wouldn't be its full power.

Because there is a risk of it getting out of control.

For a tailed beast to be sealed inside a ninja, not only does the ninja's physical body need to meet certain requirements, but the quality of the sealing technique also matters.

Konoha's "Four Symbols Seal" is better than Kumogakure's "Iron Armor Seal," and the "Iron Armor Seal" is better than Kirigakure's technique for sealing tailed beasts.

This concerns the probability and intensity of things getting out of control.

"Very strong."

Lin Yuyu spoke.

It is no exaggeration to say that tailed beasts can be called weapons of war.

The battle between the two Jinchūriki after they lost control could shift mountains and tear the earth apart.

At least for Ringo Ameyuri personally, she has never seen a ninja whose destructive power can rival that of a tailed beast.

"Lord Juzo, this is a seed of the Hyuga clan."

The bald Kirigakure ninja handed a sealing scroll to Juzo Biwa.

"it is good."

Pipa Juzo solemnly accepted it.

Bringing this batch of goods back will be a great achievement.

"How are you doing?"
