Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Chapter 225 Deep Tuning ⊙ Mei Terumi (6k)

"Be careful, Xia."

Hyuga Tetsu and Hyuga Natsu stood in the ranks of the Hyuga clan.

The veins on his forehead were bulging, clearly indicating that he had activated the Byakugan.

From Yugao's abdominal meridian system, streams of pale red chakra surged forth, gradually flowing through the meridian system to his limbs and bones.

That immense amount of chakra sent a chill down Hyuga Tetsuya's spine.

Is this... really the amount of chakra that humans can achieve?

After a long period of training on the battlefield, Hyuga Tetsuya learned about "war weapons".

Those people can seal monsters inside their bodies and then use the monsters' power; these monsters are called "Tailed Beasts"!
"Ah."

Hinata Natsumi's tone was perfunctory.

She glanced furtively at Kiyoshi, who was standing in front of her, afraid that he might misunderstand something.

She went to see Kiyoshi last night.

As always, Kiyoshi made her do those...shameless things.

Thinking of this, Hyuga Natsumi blushed slightly.

She quickly shook her head; there was a war going on!
"What's wrong with A-Xia?"

Hyuga Tetsu noticed that Hyuga Natsu's cheeks were a little flushed. Looking up at the cloudless sky, he wondered if the sun was too strong today.

"Do you think you can even covet a white eye?"

Hiashi Hyuga gathered chakra in both hands and swung it at the Hidden Mist ninja in the distance.

Bagua Empty Wall Palm!
Snapped!
A semi-transparent cloud of air flashed through the air, and a Hidden Mist ninja was instantly struck, coughing up blood and collapsing to the ground.

With Hiashi Hyuga's furious attack, the battle was about to begin.

"The 'Fierce-Eyed Fugaku'..."

Pipa Juzo carried the Executioner's Blade away.

click!
The sound of the kunai clashing with the guillotine rang out, sparks flying.

Fugaku's Sharingan with three tomoe appeared in his eyes, and he quickly engaged in combat with Juzo Biwa.

Hyuga Hiashi's younger brother, Hyuga Hizashi, fought alongside him against Biwa Juzo.

In a world where the power of the individual is so terrifying, the rule of "capture the leader first" has become the norm.

Once the strong members of the team are dealt with, the remaining minions can be easily eliminated.

A group of Hidden Mist ninjas immediately stepped forward, began forming hand seals, and unleashed their usual ninjutsu together.

Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique!

hum!
A fog began to envelop the battlefield.

This fog, which could even obscure the "Rinnegan," became even thicker and more opaque under the combined power of the group, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face.

All ninjas except those from the Hyuga clan were affected to varying degrees.

"Bagua Kongbi Zhang!"

"Bagua Kongbi Zhang!"

"Bagua Kongbi Zhang!"

The Hyuga clan continuously unleashed chakra bursts, attempting to disperse the mist.

Meanwhile, many bubbles were floating in the mist.

Whenever a Konoha ninja gets close, it will shatter with a snap, and the acid inside will flow out, directly melting the chainmail and corroding large areas of flesh.

A chorus of wails erupted.

Kiyoshi stood still, listening to the sounds around him.

This is the biggest drawback of "Sage Mode".

The process of refining natural energy into "Sage Chakra" requires "stillness".

"Has Yu Gao made a move?"

Kiyoshi's eyes held crimson three-tomoe jade pendants as he constantly scanned for the drifting traces of the mist.

Utakata has not yet betrayed Kirigakure and is still a member of Kirigakure.

His reason for betraying the country was laughable; it was merely a misunderstanding.

Utakata's master, Harusame, didn't want him to suffer discrimination from Jinchuriki anymore, but Utakata mistakenly believed that his master Harusame was coveting the power within him. In the end, he lost control and "transformed into a Tailed Beast," killing his master. From then on, he no longer believed in the bond between master and disciple and was labeled a rogue ninja by Kirigakure.

During his time on the run, Utakata met Hotaru, a blonde girl from the Tsuchigumo clan, and took her as his apprentice.

Of course, this is a story.

Since Kiyoshi is also interested in Hotaru, it's uncertain whether Hatake will be able to meet Hotaru again.

In the anime, Hotaru possesses the strongest forbidden technique of the Tsuchigumo clan, "Raging Hair Heaven," which allows her to absorb a large amount of natural energy from the hole in her back and passively refine it into "Sage Chakra."

If it accumulates long enough, it can erupt outwards from itself, destroying everything within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

Kiyoshi was eager to study the ability to accumulate "Sage Chakra" in this way.

"Now you're at a disadvantage."

Mei Terumi slowly approached Kiyoshi.

She has grown into a more charming woman than ever before, with every move she makes exuding allure.

“Uchiha Kiyoshi, let’s settle our scores first.”

"Oh?"

Kiyoshi looked at Terumi Mei's unparalleled confidence, as if she had him completely under her control, and couldn't help but smile.

"Hmph, you won't be laughing in a moment."

A smile appeared on Mei Terumi's face.

Lord Utakata is here too, so how could Uchiha Kiyoshi possibly jump up?
This time, we will definitely inflict heavy losses on Konoha and teach Kiyoshi a lesson he won't forget!

"I don't know if I'll be able to laugh later, but you definitely won't be able to laugh right now."

Kiyoshi gradually donned a flowing, turquoise cloak.

"!"

Terumi Mei's pupils shrank.

"How could that be? It's not time yet."

Terumi Mei was shocked.

She had specifically investigated Kiyoshi's abilities; entering "Sage Mode" required a great deal of time to refine and fuse chakra.

Moreover, it cannot maintain this form for an extended period of time.

Yesterday, Kiyoshi must have accumulated energy for a long time before bursting forth; just now, Kiyoshi clearly hadn't accumulated enough energy.

Mei Terumi clenched her fists and took a few steps back without making a sound.

She arrived at the exact time.

If Kiyoshi could use the same tactics as yesterday, she wasn't confident she could win.

"Hmph, bluff! Lava Release: Lava Monster Technique!"

Mei Terumi was disappointed in her own cowardice.

Thinking of what Kiyoshi had done to her, courage welled up inside her.

She spat out a large glob of sticky, highly corrosive orange acid.

sizzle...

The orange acid, still suspended in the air, emitted a chilling sound.

"The 'melting' escape is good."

Kiyoshi commented.

This move is so corrosive that it can even melt Susanoo.

If flesh and blood came into contact, it would probably turn into a pool of blood immediately.

Of course, Kiyoshi's current physical strength is not that great.

But there was no need for him to personally test the power of "Lava Release: Lava Monster Technique".

The next moment, Kiyoshi waved his hand, and flashing arcs of electricity shot out.

Lightning created using "Lightning" chakra is naturally slower than natural lightning.

Even so, its speed far exceeds the speed of sound!
Sonic speed isn't difficult to achieve in the ninja world; ninjas can do it in various ways.

But those ninjas who can do that are no longer weak.

As far as Mei Terumi is concerned now, she is still unable to react to speeds far exceeding the speed of sound.

Almost as soon as she caught a glimpse of the arc of lightning and her body instinctively tried to dodge, Mei Terumi felt herself hit a wall behind her.

"Do you remember what I told you? All unfavorable situations in this world are caused by the incompetence of the person involved."

Qingsi said calmly.

He refines "Sage Chakra" much faster than others. Yesterday, he only accumulated it a little longer because he wanted to test how much he could accumulate at most.

Judging him by yesterday's pace would only lead to the wrong conclusion.

Mei Terumi is clearly a prime example of such a failure.

"what!"

Startled, Mei Terumi instinctively twisted her body and threw a punch.

Kiyoshi easily caught Terumi Mei's fist with his palm.

His own strength is already among the greatest of all ninjas, and "Sage Mode" will greatly enhance the strength of his physical body.

Xianming could easily lift a summoned beast dozens of times larger than himself and fling it away.

When it was Kiyoshi's turn, the power of the blessing was even more terrifying.

He himself was unsure of exactly how far he could go.

Now, when using her palm to wrap around Mei Terumi's small fist, she was carefully holding back her strength.

I'm afraid I might accidentally shatter Mei Terumi's hand bones.

Even so, Mei Terumi frowned and her face turned pale.

What a strength!
Caught off guard, Mei Terumi didn't even have time to strengthen her body with chakra.

All I felt was the constant squeezing and excruciating pain in my hands.

"You're still too weak, Mei Terumi."

Kiyoshi shook his head in disappointment.

Mei Terumi now doesn't have the maturity of the future Fifth Mizukage; she still seems immature.

Since it's still green and immature, it needs some fertilizer.

And during this period, the scaffolding and pillars are erected so that the shape can be shaped and the desired result can be achieved.

That is, what is commonly known as "tuning"...

It is said that in some cases, the victims may even develop a distorted love.

Kiyoshi wasn't sure if this would be the case, but the improvement in his pupil power was undoubtedly real.

Beautiful things must endure wind and rain to reveal their true beauty.

"Because I killed your companion, you feel grief and resentment, and you hate me?"

"What do you think?"

Mei Terumi stared intently at Seiji, her gaze conveying a clear message.

She is someone who cherishes her companions and treasures every hard-won "bond".

These things are readily available elsewhere, but under the oppressive policies of the Blood Mist Force, they are extremely rare exceptions.

Everyone has closed their hearts, and everyone is on edge, afraid that the other will betray them.

Just as Mei Terumi and her two companions were full of confidence as they went to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Exams, hoping to start a new chapter in their lives from there.

But then Kiyoshi appeared.

Without any mercy, she killed her companion, Hozuki Reigetsu, as easily as killing a rabbit.

He once dreamed of traveling the world with a sword to prove himself, but his debut was his peak, and his teammates died as soon as he left the village.

"It seems I was right. In that case..."

Qing Si decided to add more ingredients.

Hate, is that it?

Then let's hate them to the bitter end.

After a flash of crimson light appeared in Kiyoshi's eyes, they returned to their golden vertical pupils, and a large amount of pupil power instantly rushed into Mei Terumi's body.

"You...what did you do to me?"

Terumi Mei exclaimed in alarm.

Kiyoshi must have cast some kind of illusion on her. Could it be that he wants to torture her to extract information about Kirigakure?
"Take a good look at the figures of others. This is all your fault. Because you are not strong enough, you can only live a pathetic and miserable life, helplessly watching the tragic state of others."

Kiyoshi said something that made Terumi Mei puzzled.

Crack!

The shuriken in Kiyoshi's ninja tool pouch slowly floated above him under the influence of magnetism.

Then it shot into the thick fog. *Thud!*

A drop of blood splattered from the mist before Mei Terumi's eyes.

The gushing, scalding blood stained the ground.

A ninja wielding a sword fell from a distance, his posture suggesting he was about to ambush Kiyoshi.

Mei Terumi's headband, stained with blood, was faintly visible; it was the mark of Kirigakure!
puff!
The air became a bit more humid.

Water gushed down.

This is the battlefield of Kirigakure. Facing a group of ninjas skilled in Water Release, it's perfectly normal for water to flow down from the ground from time to time.

Mei Terumi trembled all over, shaking uncontrollably.

"you……"

Mei Terumi was speechless.

Her body was going limp.

So soft that even standing up, she trembled, as if she would collapse at any moment.

However, Kiyoshi did not give Terumi Mei time to speak before his figure disappeared into the mist.

In his hand, flames and lightning intertwined, forming a dazzling drill-shaped longsword.

With a spinning hissing sound, whenever a Kirigakure ninja got close to Kiyoshi, he would mercilessly take their life.

A fog obscuring the view?
Sorry, under the perception of "Sage Mode", this thing is just a roadside object.

For Kiyoshi, this fog didn't exist at all; he could clearly "see" everything in the arena!
"Getting stronger..."

Kiyoshi's movements became increasingly skillful. Occasionally, a ninja would barely be able to react, but under the sneak attack, they would be caught off guard and their heads would be separated from their bodies.

With unparalleled speed and a fatal "Sage Art: Fire Release: Lightning Fire Sword," the chaotic battle became Kiyoshi's backyard in an instant.

"That brat from yesterday..."

While fighting Fugaku, Pipa Juzo glanced at the occasional flashes of light in the mist.

"That's Uchiha Kiyoshi."

A pinkish-purple tail appeared behind Yutaka, who blew a large bubble with a soap bubble blower and put himself inside it before quickly heading towards Kiyoshi.

While Kiyoshi attracted the attention of others, Mei Terumi used a special Kirigakure ninjutsu to penetrate the mist and keep locking onto Kiyoshi.

Every time Kiyoshi kills someone, her body trembles and she involuntarily releases a water-based escape technique.

Only now did Mei Terumi finally understand what Kiyoshi had done to her.

This guy...every time he kills someone, he...

"Uchiha Kiyoshi!"

Terumi meditates on the need to shout it out.

puff!
However, reality struck her down. The excessive blow caused her to collapse, leaving a shallow puddle around her.

It was impossible to tell whether it was the blood of a companion or the water formed by Water Release techniques.

Only his pupils, increasingly difficult to focus, were blurry, and his body collapsed onto the cold ground.

"The Tailed Beasts have arrived."

Kiyoshi keenly sensed the approaching massive chakra and dodged to the right, narrowly avoiding a rapidly flying bubble.

The bubble hit the ground and instantly corroded a deep pit.

At the same time, a dense stream of bubbles followed.

"Sage Art: Wind Release - Great Breakthrough".

Kiyoshi opened his mouth and exhaled a whirlwind.

With the blessing of "Sage Chakra", it quickly turned into a hurricane like a tornado.

Those air bubbles that were attached to the air were instantly swept away.

The thick fog tore open a clear corner.

"Water Release: Acidic Flow!"

The swirling acid was released from Yu Gao's hands during a brief pause in the hurricane.

Acid flowed down over a range of hundreds of meters, enveloping everything around Kiyoshi that he could move in.

"Seiji!"

Mikoto called out worriedly.

The Six-Tails is skilled at using "acid," and Utakata, who comes from Kirigakure, is also skilled at using Water Release techniques to combine with acid.

These things can even corrode hard armor and kunai, let alone Kiyoshi's flesh and blood.

Given Kiyoshi's speed, there's no way he would have time to throw out a kunai marked with the Flying Thunder God symbol to dodge.

At this distance, they're already trapped!
"Looks like that kid can't escape."

Every swing of Juzo Biwa's enormous guillotine sword produced a whooshing sound.

As Fugaku parried Biwa Juzo's onslaught, his spirits sank to the bottom.

Kiyoshi is the bridge between the Uchiha clan and the village; he must not be harmed.

"Die."

Yu Gao said calmly.

Kiyoshi stood still, neither dodging nor avoiding.

The intense electric arcs swirled around him, spreading outwards and flying into the distance.

"What's the point of using Lightning Release now?"

Yu Gao looked slightly puzzled.

In his final moments, did he want to hurt himself?
laugh!
The black arc of electricity flashed through the air and disappeared in a flash, too fast for the naked eye to see.

Only ninjas with exceptional observational skills could barely detect the traces.

In an instant, Kiyoshi used the Flying Thunder God mark on the electric arc to teleport behind Utakata, raised the spinning Thunderfire Sword in his hand, and cut off one of Utakata's chakra tails.

puff.

The sticky tail landed on the ground, releasing acidic liquid.

For the first time, Yu Gaoyou's face showed disbelief, and his pupils shrank sharply.

How did Kiyoshi get here?

He reached out, trying to grab Kiyoshi.

Unfortunately, the next moment, Kiyoshi's figure reappeared below.

"The power of the tailed beasts also depends on whether people can control them."

Kiyoshi pulled out a sealing scroll from his body and quickly collected the chakra tail that had not yet dissipated on the ground.

This is a valuable item; it's part of the Ten-Tails.

Theoretically speaking, as long as a portion of the chakra of the nine tailed beasts is obtained, the ten-tailed beast can be synthesized.

For example, Sasuke eventually used the "Perfect Susanoo" instead of the "Gedo Mazo" as a vessel to absorb the chakra of the nine tailed beasts, and even allowed the "Perfect Susanoo" to evolve once more.

As for the cost, it's that it can't compare to the original genuine product.

"Lightning Release ninjutsu or space-time ninjutsu?"

Yu Gao frowned.

He had never seen a ninjutsu that could move along with an arc of electricity; it was simply unheard of.

"Another new technique. Just how many kinds of ninjutsu does Kiyoshi know?"

"He dodged Yu Gao's attack in a single exchange, launched a counterattack, and managed to escape completely. Just how fast is that!"

"Isn't Uchiha Kiyoshi only capable of the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'?"

The clear, torn corner naturally allowed everyone around to see the clash between Kiyoshi and Yutaka.

The Konoha ninjas gasped in surprise.

Honestly, they knew that they wouldn't have escaped the predicament so easily; they would have been badly injured, if not killed.

"This is Kiyoshi's strength..."

Sarutobi Asuma watched this scene pitifully from behind.

Why is Kiyoshi so outstanding when everyone is in the same cohort?

Sarutobi Asuma turned his head and glanced at Yuhi Kurenai, who was staring intently at Kiyoshi, and felt quite uncomfortable.

He vaguely began to have the idea of ​​venturing out into the world.

He thought he would return after making a name for himself, but then he heard that the Daimyo was recruiting some kind of "Twelve Guardian Ninjas," and he was immediately tempted.

He wanted Kurenai Yuhi to have her eyes only on him!

"You don't need to know what kind of ninjutsu it is."

Seeing Yu Gao's puzzled expression, Kiyoshi had no intention of explaining it to him.

He rarely uses this tactic in front of outsiders.

The first time it was used was in the battle against Madara Uchiha at Kannabi Bridge. Apart from that, the only other time was in front of Mei Terumi just now.

The saying "one trick is all you need" is widely circulated in the ninja world.

His trick is currently fairly well kept secret; not many people know the underlying principles.

In a sense, it can be considered as the development of a new ninjutsu.

Examples include derivative ninjutsu such as "Flying Thunder God Slash", "Flying Thunder God Second Stage", and "Flying Thunder God Lightning Guide".

All the complex ninjutsu techniques eventually come down to using the one you are best at.

Minato Namikaze earned the title of "Yellow Flash" using only the "Flying Thunder God Technique" and the "Rasengan".

Kakashi Hatake, who will be known as Konoha's number one ninjutsu master in the future and has copied thousands of ninjutsu, most often uses "Lightning Blade".

They couldn't possibly only know a few ninjutsu; rather, they determined their fighting style from a wide variety of ninjutsu.

Just like Sasuke's signature "Chidori", Naruto's signature "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique" and "Rasengan".

"Insanity."

Yu Gao snorted coldly.

He has always been the only one to present himself with this confident and composed demeanor, but today he has met someone who is even better at putting on an act than him.

No wonder he has the surname Uchiha!

Pale red chakra continuously seeped from Utakata's body, instantly enveloping his entire form.

Then the color gradually darkened, as if a layer of flowing scarlet blood had enveloped the body.

"From 'Borrowing Chakra Mode' to 'Half-Tailed Beast Transformation'?"

Kiyoshi quietly looked at Yugao.

The so-called "borrowing chakra mode" means that the tail of a tailed beast appears on the body of the Jinchuriki, and he has a light red "tailed beast cloak" on his body.

"Half-Tailed Beast Transformation" further enhances the borrowed tailed beast chakra. In order to maintain stability, the overflowing chakra automatically gathers on the jinchūriki and will resemble the tailed beast's original form.

That's because the meridian system inside a Jinchuriki's body cannot withstand the massive chakra of a Tailed Beast, so it can only be supported externally. Even Naruto, a member of the Uzumaki clan, experienced varying degrees of tearing and burning on his skin after "half-Tailed Beast transformation".

"Then... the Sharingan."

Kiyoshi reopened his Sharingan, which had been closed after activating "Sage Mode." The golden vertical lines in his eyes turned dark gold, and three tomoe appeared, adorning the sides of the lines.

Physical fitness has been further improved.

He could clearly perceive every chakra flow on the "Tailed Beast Cloak".

"It's like an inexhaustible source."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

The more you perceive, the more you can experience how vast the chakra of the nine largest chakra aggregates in the world truly is.

However, Kiyoshi had no intention of taking the tailed beast and becoming a jinchūriki himself.

His chakra is still growing, far exceeding the amount of chakra that Naruto could normally possess.

One day, with the help of the entry system, it is not impossible to become a true humanoid tailed beast.

Give Kiyoshi enough time; even if Kaguya stands, she can make Kiyoshi crawl.

sizzle...

Yu Gao's deep red membrane continuously emitted white shockwaves, corroding everything around it as it rushed towards Kiyoshi.

"The advantage of a Jinchuriki is simply that they have a large amount of chakra. A ninja's understanding of ninjutsu can make up for the difference."

Lightning crackled continuously from Kiyoshi's palm, a high-intensity electric current formed by Lightning Release chakra and Sage Art chakra concentrated in his hand.

Immortal Technique: Thunderous Surge Across a Thousand Generations!

Utaka charged forward, his six tails sweeping towards Kiyoshi.

The air had a strong sour smell.

However, Kiyoshi seemed completely unaffected, simply raising the hand with the large amount of electric arcs gathered to block the six tails.

It gives others a feeling of lightness and detachment.

"It blocked the power of the Tailed Beast!"

Pipa Juzo and the others were startled and put aside their contempt, truly regarding Kiyoshi as an enemy of equal caliber.
