Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

"You don't need to pay rent, so there's no need to worry."

One of the white Zetsu had its left hand supporting its hip, while the other half of its body was covered in pale white tentacles.

"We are produced by the 'God of the Outer Path,' so we don't need to eat."

"No need to spend money on food...no need to go to the toilet...and most importantly, we don't need to poop!"

The other white Zetsu was named Afei. Its face was like a vortex, with only a hole showing in its right eye. The hole was dark inside, as if there was nothing there, just an empty shell.

The spiral patterns on his face spread down his neck, and his entire torso also had spiral patterns.

"So what? Don't lump me in with you! I just have this weird thing sewn onto half of my body."

Obito covered his right side of his torso.

He had never heard of any ninja technique that could regenerate severed limbs, but the torso these guys had sewn onto him was showing signs of continuous growth!
Obito felt a chill run down his spine. Was this even human?
He didn't want to become one of those white guys.

"Thanks to that, you can survive even without food or water. You should thank it."

The White Zetsu, whose body was deformed on one side, said, "We don't want to be lumped together with you. Your part is just an artificial body without emotions."

"We are artificial beings...we possess our own emotions!"

Afei said excitedly.

Finally, he added, "We just don't need to poop, but compared to you, our vocabulary and intelligence are much higher."

"Noisy!"

Obito looked at the group of noisy guys.

These two guys claimed to have been sent by Madara Uchiha to monitor him and help him complete his rehabilitation training.

"Wow...!"

Obito suddenly covered his empty left eye and felt a stinging pain again.

He seemed to vaguely see Nohara Rin again.

The image was torn apart, with many black snowflake patterns, making it impossible for Obito to see any further.

"It's that hallucination again."

Obito and the others only put their hands down after the pain subsided for a while.

Ever since he gave the Sharingan to Kakashi as a gift and then got stuck here, he has occasionally seen hallucinations.

Those hallucinations were all about things happening around Kakashi.

Today he saw his beloved Lin at Qing Si's house again, but he didn't know what she was doing.

"I will definitely get rid of this awful place and go see Rin and Kakashi!"

Obito said with great ambition.

It doesn't matter if half of his body is replaced by an artificial one, as long as his handsome face is still there.

After we get out, he can form a duo with Kakashi and become the Sharingan duo. Rin will definitely admire him a lot!

In the dimly lit cave, a faint red light emanated.

Madara Uchiha opened his eyes, raised his deeply lined old face, and looked at Obito.

"I can't wait any longer, but... the plan will be completed soon, and you will see your long-awaited companion."

Uchiha Madara looked at Obito.

Just as he once told Obito not to thank him too soon, the final step of the plan had only just begun.

In this way, after his death, someone will inherit his will and act as "Madara" in the ninja world to carry out the "Eye of the Moon Plan".

"Hmph... I hope that junior can live to see that day."

The image of Kiyoshi appeared in Madara Uchiha's mind.

Such an outstanding talent would surely have a place among people of his generation.

Unfortunately, being born too late means being too late, and there's no chance to turn things around.

He has combined the power of the Senju clan and obtained the Myriad Manifestations of the Universe, which is the ultimate power of the Uchiha clan, the "Rinnegan," enough to glimpse a corner of the level of the Sage of Six Paths!
So he leaped up and, relying on this power, became the mastermind, able to view the entire ninja world as a chessboard.

No matter how outstanding Uchiha Kiyoshi is, he cannot escape this chessboard.

This is where the limitation of one's perspective lies.

Madara Uchiha closed his eyes once more, leaning against the throne woven from trees, and fell into a deep sleep amidst the bickering of Obito and White Zetsu.

…………

Hyuga clan.

"Nobuhiko."

Hinata Ginka placed a bouquet of flowers in a vase and looked at Hinata Nobuhiko.

His eyes were covered with a white bandage, and you could clearly see that the area around his eye sockets was slightly sunken.

"You're here again, Yinhua."

Hinata Nobuhiko's nostrils twitched slightly as he caught a whiff of floral fragrance.

Knowing it was Hinata Ginka who had come to find him with flowers.

"The clan will definitely find a way to get back at you for the eye roll incident."

Hinata Ginka sighed softly.

Within the Hyuga clan, there are also members of the main family who die peacefully of old age or from accidents, leaving behind Byakugan (white eyes).

Like other normal eyeballs, the whites of the eyes only have a lifespan of 60-70 years, after which they begin to decline, aging, losing vision, and even developing diseases.

If Nobuhiko's Byakugan had been destroyed, perhaps nothing would have happened.

The key issue was that it led to the leak of the Byakugan. Although he was also a victim in this matter, some elders took their anger out on Nobuhiko, which caused the matter to remain unresolved for a long time.

The fact that there are few members of the clan does not mean that members of the clan are necessarily precious.

At the top of the Hyuga clan's hierarchy are only the elders who have lived for many years and each successive clan leader.

Why didn't you apply any medicine?

Hyuga Ginka glanced at him and noticed that Hyuga Nobuhiko's medicine was almost gone.

"I'll apply it for you."

Hyuga Ginka picked up the medicine and prepared to remove Hyuga Nobuhiko's bandages.

"do not come!"

Unexpectedly, Hyuga Nobuhiko suddenly stepped back, shouting in terror to Hyuga Ginka not to come any closer.

"I...I'll do it myself."

Hyuga Nobuhiko asked Hyuga Ginka to put the things on the table.

After being captured and tortured by the Hidden Mist Village, he became very wary of others getting close to him.

Seeing Hyuga Nobuhiko in this state, Hyuga Ginka knew that he had been traumatized by the enemy.

After sighing, Hyuga Ginka called out:
"A-Xia, go get Xin-Yan some new medicine, the same as last time."

"Understood, Madam Yinhua."

Hinata Natsu's voice came from outside, and soon after, footsteps faded into the distance.

However, when she went out, Hyuga Natsu did not go to Konoha Hospital immediately, but went to Kiyoshi's house instead.

As a member of a branch family, one must absolutely obey the orders of the main family.

Hinata Natsu once believed in this wholeheartedly, but now her beliefs are gradually changing.

So what about the main family?
On the battlefield, they were treated like dogs, their eyes gouged out and their bodies crippled.

From this perspective, not all members of the main family are born holy.

It was just lucky that it wasn't engraved with the "Caged Bird Seal".

The "Caged Bird Curse" is not entirely unsolvable.

Everything changed after meeting that person.

Thinking of Kiyoshi's methods, Hyuga Natsu felt her mouth go dry and instinctively activated the prerequisites for the Water Release technique, so she quickly quickened her pace.

……

Kiyoshi's family.

Hyuga Natsu described the "Gentle Fist" technique she had recently learned, as well as the latest information about the Hyuga clan.

"Did Nobuhiko Hyuga suffer psychological trauma?"

Qingsi touched his chin.

This is normal; ninjas who fall into enemy hands are unlikely to have a good ending.

They were lucky they didn't go insane; they were already being forced to interrogate and torture for information.

Even in Konoha, when interrogating the enemy for information, it is difficult to prevent the enemy from breaking down.

Hyuga Nobuhiko possessed the more valuable Byakugan, and given the time constraints, he was spared this ordeal.

"By the way, continue to find out what kind of injury Hiashi Hyuga suffered."

Qing Si gave the instructions.

After returning to the village, it seems that Hiashi Hyuga did not receive treatment at the Konoha Hospital, but instead asked someone to treat him within the Hyuga clan.

The medical ninja in charge of the matter remained tight-lipped, only saying that it was a difficult and complicated case.

This piqued Kiyoshi's curiosity: under his butterfly effect, what exactly was Hiashi Hyuga injured?

"Yes."

Hinata Natsumi immediately nodded.

As she waited for Kiyoshi's next instructions, she found the room silent.

She raised her head, her white eyes gazing at Kiyoshi.

"You've been doing well lately."

Kiyoshi ignited a purplish-black chakra flame at his fingertips, and the aura of demonic power permeated out.

He gently stroked Hinata Natsu's forehead, instantly making Hinata Natsu feel a cool sensation.

After a slight pain, Hyuga Natsu was pleasantly surprised to find that the "Caged Bird Seal" had loosened its restraints a little more!
If this process continues indefinitely, one day she will truly gain freedom!

"Thank you... Lord Kiyoshi."

Hinata Natsumi suppressed her emotions and said gratefully to Kiyoshi.

"It's nothing, but I'd much rather hear you call me 'Master'."

Kiyoshi's dark eyes reflected Hinata Natsu's figure.

She wore a black and white maid outfit, had short, dark green hair, and a pretty face, looking like a vibrant young maid.

A maid is, of course, a servant who serves her master.

How could we possibly skip this step?

"Kyoji...lord...master."

Hinata Natsu blushed slightly and spoke with embarrassment.

Qingsi nodded in satisfaction.

Now, won't that create a romantic atmosphere?

He continued to look at Hinata Natsumi.

"Gentle Fist is indeed good, but the Uchiha also have taijutsu, which is a style within the Uchiha clan. I want to see if these two will clash and produce any results."

To improve a skill, you need to become familiar with it and compare it with other types.

This is how you can make rapid progress.

This is what is known as the collision of knowledge.

Only after such intense collisions can sparks of wisdom emerge, enabling people to continuously progress.

In Kiyoshi's view, the way of the ninja is the way of endurance.

After enduring the pain that leads to progress, you will reap the joy of success.

This is what is called self-discipline.

This is something that Kiyoshi could not have done alone.

"……it is good."

Upon meeting Kiyoshi's gaze, Hinata Natsu instantly understood the meaning behind the burning sensation in her body.

She...is too eager to improve.

I also want to see what is called "Uchiha Fluid Technique".

……

in the afternoon.

Hyuga clan.

"Why hasn't Xia come back yet?"

Hinata Ginka frowned.

She felt that Hinata Natsu had become increasingly lax lately.

Sometimes when she gives Hinata Natsumi instructions, Hinata Natsumi always takes a while to finish.

Unable to bear it any longer, Hyuga Ginka summoned Hyuga Tetsuya and ordered him to go out and find Hyuga Natsuya.

"Madam Yinhua, I will definitely find A-Xia."

Hyuga Tetsuya nodded.

It just so happens that he also wanted to go see A-Xia, and their schedules didn't conflict.

He tied his hair back and quickly left the Hyuga clan's gate.

In the Hyuga clan, both women and men have very classic hairstyles.

Most other ninja clans and commoners have short hair, but the Hyuga clan is the opposite, with many male members having long hair, preserving a custom from the Warring States period.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Hyuga Himon crossed his arms and called out to Hyuga Tetsuya at the entrance of the Hyuga clan compound.

"Madam Yinhua asked me to go and find A-Xia."

Hyuga Tetsuya turned and replied.

"Did Lady Silver Flower send you to find A-Xia, or did you want to find A-Xia yourself?" Hyuga Hido Asahika Tetsuo gave a knowing smile.

Faced with his friend's teasing, Hyuga Tetsuya could only smile.

Having been tempered by war, he had matured considerably and was no longer as reckless as before.

The only thing he can't let go of right now is his beloved Hinata Natsumi, the white moonlight in his heart.

Despite the war, Hinata Natsu did not show any negative or depressed emotions.

On the contrary, she also exudes a positive and energetic vibe.

This is quite different from the other branch family members who are lifeless because of the "Caged Bird Seal." While others might feel depressed because of this, Hyuga Natsu is not.

Or perhaps I had it before, but I don't know when it started, I've become more and more confident.

This deeply attracted Hyuga Tetsuya.

He also wanted to be as positive and optimistic as Hinata Natsumi, as if he were bathed in the light of hope.

At this moment, Hyuga Tetsuya was filled with confidence.

Because he practices meditation for fifteen hours every day during his holidays.

The thought of A-Xia gave him boundless energy.

This is what is called "love".

Through continuous practice, Hyuga Tetsuya actually mastered the "Eight Trigrams Palm: Reversal" technique on his own.

Although it only has one-fifth the power of the original, it is a good omen.

This shows that Hyuga Tetsuya is by no means a useless good-for-nothing!

Ah Xia, he deserves it!
……

"The Hyuga clan's 'Gentle Fist Technique' is indeed quite good."

Outside the courtyard, Kiyoshi was practicing "Gentle Fist Technique".

This martial art has many merits.

The Hyuga clan cannot play a real role simply because they have too little chakra.

Hyuga Hiashi, Hyuga Hizashi, or even Hyuga Neji, the most talented member of the Hyuga clan, while their strength was considerable, their chakra reserves were not particularly high.

Otherwise, a "Bagua Palm: Reversal" that spans several hundred meters would have a similar effect to "Shinra Tensei" in terms of clearing the ground.

"If given the chance, we can try the 'Eight Gates Formation'."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

With his current physique, it's hard to say how many gates he can open, but it's unlikely to be low.

To activate the "Eight Gates Formation," in addition to physical strength, certain aptitudes are also required.

For example, Kakashi can only open the first gate at most.

Despite undergoing the same training as Might Guy, Rock Lee could only open the sixth gate in the Shippuden ending.

In "Boruto," the middle-aged Rock Lee still only has six gates.

This cannot be attributed to a lack of effort on Li's part; his only limitation is his aptitude.

Wow…

Inside the room, the faint sound of bathing could be heard.

After Kiyoshi finished demonstrating the "Gentle Fist Technique," Hinata Natsu stood in the corridor wearing her slightly wrinkled maid outfit.

Her dark green hair still had some water droplets on it, indicating that she had taken a bath and immediately dressed before coming out.

"I...I'll be going now, Kiyoshi...Master."

Hinata Natsu crossed her arms in front of her chest and lowered her eyes.

"I don't need to tell you when to come next time, do I?"

Qingsi said calmly.

He instructed Hyuga Natsu that he should be the first to be informed of any disturbances or changes within the Hyuga clan.

Hyuga Natsumi had become Kiyoshi's pawn planted within the Hyuga clan.

"I will, Master Kiyoshi."

Hinata Natsu nodded slightly and left the Kiyoshi family's door without making a sound.

Before leaving, Hinata Natsu also took the Kiyoshi family's trash with her.

Kiyoshi watched Hinata Natsu's departing figure, pondering:

"Hyuga Natsumi doesn't know many 'Gentle Fist' techniques; she'll have to rely on the main family."

Hyuga Ginka is the best candidate.

Even if Hyuga Ginka's talent is lacking, her status as a member of the main family will help Kiyoshi learn the "Gentle Fist" technique, which only members of the main family can learn.

After a moment of contemplation, Kiyoshi continued his cultivation.

…………

On a sweltering afternoon, the sun hung high in the sky, casting its light on every part of the leaves.

Many ninjas began to continue their training.

"One thousand and one, one thousand and two..."

Matt Kai walked on his head, using only two fingers to walk on the ground.

"Tomorrow it's my turn to go to the battlefield again. Ah, youth, it's time to burn brightly once more!"

In a while, he will be going to the battlefield with Genma Shiranui and Ebisu to carry out a mission.

The war between Kirigakure and Konoha has been quite intense recently, and they are short of manpower.

“My father is over there too, and I have to let him see how wonderful my youth was.”

Matt Kai cheered himself up and continued to train hard.

After leaving Kiyoshi's house and getting her medicine from Konoha Hospital, Hyuga Natsu saw Might Guy, this freak, on the streets of Konoha and quickly avoided him.

Matt Kai wore a green bodysuit and always liked to have a watermelon-shaped hairstyle. People in his class used to think that he was just like his father, Matt Dai, and not very bright.

Hinata Natsuya also chose to avoid it.

She hadn't walked more than a few steps when a boy with a disdainful look ran towards her.

"Ah Xia, so you were here."

Hyuga Tetsuya waved excitedly.

He searched for A-Xia for ages before finally finding her, having gone to several streets. He was just about to try his luck at Konoha Hospital when he unexpectedly ran into A-Xia there.

"Atie."

Hinata Natsu nodded slightly as a greeting.

"What do you want from me?"

"Lady Yinhua sent me out to find you."

Hyuga Railway.

He looked at Hinata Natsumi.

Hinata Natsu's face was rosy and radiant, like a flower that had been in a dry land for a long time and was suddenly watered by rain, full of the fresh fragrance after the rain.

It is also full of feminine charm.

Hyuga Tetsu's heart rate increased slightly.

Ah Xia is getting more and more beautiful.

Suddenly, Hyuga Tetsu's gaze sharpened.

Why is there water on the ends of A-Xia's hair?

He then realized that perhaps the sun was too strong today, causing him to sweat.

"Then let's go back now."

Hinata Natsumi guessed that Hinata Ginka was getting impatient, so it was time to go back now.

Why did it take you so long?

As the two walked back together, Hyuga Tetsu casually asked a question.

"There are many people in line."

Hinata Natsumi's expression remained unchanged as she calmly offered an excuse.

"Now it's wartime, the situation is different from peacetime."

Hyuga Tetsuya recalled how he had waited in line for ages when he went to Konoha Hospital to get his medicine last time, so it was normal for Hyuga Natsuya to take a little longer.

"Asha..."

Along the way, Hyuga Tetsuya asked several more questions.

Hinata Natsumi's response remained consistently indifferent.

Hyuga Tetsuya quickly realized this.

Why is A-Xia becoming more and more indifferent to him?

Was it because the topics he brought up were uninteresting?
Hyuga Tetsuya pondered how to stir up Hyuga Natsuya's emotions, but couldn't come up with anything after thinking for a long time.

"Ah Xia, I think I've recently been able to reverse-engineer the 'Baguazhang: Reversal of Heaven' technique."

Hyuga Tetsuya lowered his voice.

The Hyuga clan forbids branch families from stealing or learning the advanced "Gentle Fist" technique, which is only taught to the main family.

Throughout the long history of the Hyuga clan, it is inevitable that a few geniuses will emerge who learn those techniques without a teacher.

The main family will test the details of the moves, since it's impossible for something learned on one's own to be exactly the same as the original.

If it is truly self-taught, it will be included in the main family's "Gentle Fist Method," and geniuses will be allowed to learn more of the "Gentle Fist Method."

"You're really amazing, Tie."

Hinata Natsu uttered impressive words, but her face remained expressionless.

In the past, she would have been deeply moved and shocked, as that was a level of understanding that only members of the main family could grasp.

But now it seems, even if it's just a pure and genuine Hyuga main family, so what?
Even when faced with a monster like the Six-Tails, there's still no way to deal with it.

Only the Qing Si Da Ren is different.

"Ha ha……"

Hyuga Tetsu laughed heartily, wanting to see Asha's admiring expression.

He watched for a while and felt that Xia didn't seem to be moved at all.

Ultimately, he could only use his previous battlefield experiences as a starting point, saying:
"During the battle in Kirigakure, Uchiha Kiyoshi seemed to have mastered some new ninjutsu, and his whole body would glow, allowing him to fight against the monsters on the other side of Kirigakure."

As Hyuga Tetsuya finished speaking, he quietly focused his attention on observing Hyuga Natsuya's reaction.

"Kiyoshi-kun is such a genius, it's normal for him to do anything."

When Uchiha Kiyoshi was mentioned, Hyuga Natsu's expression became much more normal, and her earlobes even turned red as if she was thinking of something.

Hyuga Tetsuya noticed this detail with his Byakugan.

My heart suddenly aches and I have difficulty breathing.

When did it start that A-Xia drifted further and further away from him, while getting closer and closer to Kiyoshi?

Hyuga Tetsu couldn't understand why A-Xia and Uchiha Seiji initially came into contact because of Hyuga Ginka.

The two shouldn't have much in common.

"Ah Tie?"

Hinata Natsumi said with great interest that Kiyoshi seemed to have grown a little taller, and that his reputation in the village was getting better and better.

Suddenly, he turned his head and saw Hyuga Tetsu clenching his fists.

He looked distressed.

"It's nothing, just some unpleasant thoughts."

Hyuga Tetsu forced a smile and released his grip.

"That's it."

Hinata Xia nodded.

At first, the two did have a bit of a childhood sweetheart vibe, but now Hyuga Natsu only sees Hyuga Tetsu as an ordinary acquaintance.

The two of them were never from the same world.

From the moment Hyuga Tetsuro lost all desire to rebel against the Hyuga main family, he built a thick barrier.

She didn't want Kiyoshi to misunderstand, so she kept her distance from Hyuga Tetsuya.

The two remained silent until they reached the gates of the Hyuga clan.

Hyuga Natsu waved goodbye to Hyuga Tetsuya and went to find Hyuga Ginka with the medicine.

"I've tried so hard, but I still can't catch A-Xia's eye?"

Hyuga Tetsuya was somewhat devastated.

After a long while, he clenched his fist again.

No, I won't end here.

Hyuga Tetsuya looked towards the corner, where no one was; Hyuga Natsuya had already walked away.

If "Baguazhang·Huitian" is not enough, then "Rouquanfa·Bagua Sixty-Four Palms"; if that's still not enough, then "Rouquanfa·Bagua One Hundred and Twenty-Eight Palms".

Kiyoshi has the Sharingan, and he has the Byakugan; both are among the three great dojutsu.

Are the Hyuga clan really inferior to the Uchiha clan?
The Hyuga clan is the largest clan in Konoha!

Hyuga Tetsuya is determined to hone his "Gentle Fist" skills, hoping to make a name for himself in the future.

…………

Another few days passed.

Kiyoshi received a message.

That was when Rin Nohara and Kakashi were summoned back to the battlefield.

Kiyoshi understood that the time was ripe. (End of Chapter)
