Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Chapter 260 Breakthrough of the Eight Gates, Escorting Shennong to the Land of Rain

"This mission?"

Mikoto looked over and realized it was an escort mission.

The level is B, and the reward is around 200,000 taels.

They requested to escort a doctor into the Land of Rain.

"I never imagined that there could still be such dedicated doctors who save lives."

Mikoto looked at the notes above and couldn't help but sigh.

The outbreak of the Ninja World War resulted in smaller countries bearing the brunt of the damage that larger nations could not even imagine.

Despite the chaos, some people still risked their lives to travel to the Land of Rain to save the children there.

"How about we take on this mission, Mikoto-nee?"

Qingsi said.

The remaining two squad members are Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi.

Previously, these were all temporary formations, consisting of iron fire and rice fire.

The changes have been made; Misaka stayed, and the remaining two teammates were replaced with their original ones.

As for Minazuki Yuuki, he did not receive timely medical treatment in the Land of Demons, and the injuries to his hands became chronic and difficult to cure. He could barely exert his Chunin strength and could only do some logistical work.

"But... the Land of Rain is not very safe."

Mikoto raised her eyelids and looked at Kiyoshi.

There are countless ninjas from various major countries infiltrated there. They are listed as B-rank, but in reality, they may be even higher than B-rank.

No one knows what dangers they might encounter along the way.

"I possess the 'Flying Thunder God Technique.' I can't guarantee anything else, but I can definitely escape."

Qingsi said.

If anything unexpected happens, he can always run away with his sister.

The reason for choosing this mission is that the intelligence and ninjutsu that Samui collected a few days ago have been obtained.

To Kiyoshi's surprise, Shennong was in Konoha.

Because the physician escorting them this time was none other than Shennong!
Kiyoshi quickly recovered from the initial shock.

After the Land of Sky was destroyed by Konoha, Shennong, in order to obtain the "Zero-Tails Technique", infiltrated villages in various countries as a wandering doctor, and finally found the scroll for the resurrection of the Zero-Tails in Konoha.

How exactly he obtained this scroll—whether he found it by chance or someone gave it to him—is not clearly explained in *Naruto: Bonds*.

The only clear thing is that Shennong had contact with Orochimaru and even gave Orochimaru a half-finished "Forbidden Regeneration Technique".

This escort mission is likely because Shennong, after obtaining the scroll, was eager to experiment and prove its authenticity.

If you ask why, it's because in the chaos of war, the darkness in people's hearts is inexhaustible.

Therefore, after completing the "Zero-Tail Technique", Shennong immediately decided to declare war on the five great nations, so that the Sky Kingdom could become great once again.

"Well……"

Mikoto's gentle face showed a thoughtful expression. After considering it carefully for a while, she realized that Kiyoshi was right.

Even if she dies, Kiyoshi might not necessarily die.

There's no other reason than that the "Flying Thunder God Technique" is too good at saving lives.

"You'll have to discuss that with your other two teammates."

"it is good."

Qingsi nodded.

If Mikoto agrees, then the decision has already been made.

He wants to carry out this mission, and Kurenai Yuhi will definitely agree to go with him.

When Sarutobi Asuma saw that Kurenai Yuhi would be carrying out this mission, he naturally followed her.

So the whole team agreed to the task.

"I'll go ask them."

The next moment, Kiyoshi's figure disappeared, having used the "Flying Thunder God Technique".

A few minutes later, Kiyoshi returned.

"They agreed."

"I'll go get the scroll."

Mikoto nodded slightly, took down the scroll, and then examined the details with Kiyoshi.

We will depart in two days and meet at the Hokage Building.

Kiyoshi then accompanied Mikoto home, and later used the "Flying Thunder God Technique" to return to his own home.

"Hiss..."

The white snake's tail curled up a marble, which it played with on the wooden board.

Qing Si ignored the white snake and went straight into the courtyard.

The White Snake is not very intelligent and lacks experience, which makes her have the same mentality as a child.

That's fine. Qing Si mainly sent her out to count the miscellaneous soldiers and to act as a transfer and absorption device for the power of the demons.

As he arrived at the center of the courtyard, Kiyoshi's skin gradually turned red, and his black hair stood on end.

"First 'door opening'... Open!"

"The second 'Gate of Rest'... Open!"

"The third 'Gate of Life'...open!"

Kiyoshi was able to open the third channel that restricts chakra after only a few days of training.

I'll learn the fourth subject soon too.

It's worth noting that even in "Boruto," Kakashi only knows the first gate.

Might Guy spent over twenty years studying the Eight Gates Formation before he was qualified to open the eighth gate.

If Kiyoshi's wasted time were to be publicized, Might Guy's youthful spirit would likely be severely damaged.

"It seems to be because I have a very good foundation."

Kiyoshi opened his arms and looked at the green sweat flowing from his body, which kept evaporating into green steam, as if it were glowing.

In this state, his chakra is extremely violent, making it difficult for him to use ninjutsu.

By releasing the channels that bind chakra within the body, one can temporarily gain immense power. This power is like opening a dam in the body's reservoir, causing water to pour down like a torrent, rushing through the meridian system. Normally, one standard unit of chakra is used, but in this state, two or three standard units might be released.

Compared to the final gate, the Gate of Death, it grants power dozens of times greater than that of the Five Kage.

This alone is enough to show that the caster's ability to control chakra will decrease.

"Even with my chakra control abilities, I can barely maintain the operation of 'Dark Medical Ninjutsu'."

The lightning release technique within Kiyoshi's body even stopped, with only the "Dark Medical Ninjutsu" continuously repairing the muscles torn by Kiyoshi's release of the "Eight Gates Formation".

"We need to adapt for a while longer, but we should be able to start the Third Front project soon."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

He has only been practicing for a few days and is not yet familiar with the "Eight Gates Formation".

Being able to run two ninjutsu simultaneously within his body is already a result of his extraordinary talent.

Even if it were Might Guy from the finale, he wouldn't have the same level of control.

Once the 100,000 is completed, I should be able to use the Lightning Release Technique + Dark Medical Ninjutsu + Eight Gates Formation.

"The Might Guys' activation of the 'Eight Gates Formation' only passively damages my muscles, while I can continuously repair myself, so the aftereffects will definitely be less than what they suffered."

The green steam swirling around Kiyoshi stopped and returned to normal.

He felt the varying degrees of damage throughout his body, and it was indeed much better than not using "Dark Medical Ninjutsu".

The only drawback is that the excessive chakra consumption will result in Kiyoshi's short endurance.

This issue should be resolved once Kiyoshi continues to grow and increases his chakra reserves.

"After reading this Earth Release ninjutsu scroll, I'll go find Mikoto-nee."

Kiyoshi took out an Earth Release ninjutsu he had obtained from Samui and began to study it.

…………

Two days passed.

Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi arrived at Kiyoshi's house together, intending to call Kiyoshi to set off together.

"Lord Kiyoshi has already left."

However, only the little girl, Guren, whom Kiyoshi had adopted as a maid, opened the door.

"Kiyoshi is leaving?"

Kurenai Yuhi was puzzled.

Today was supposed to be the day we set off together for the mission, so why did Kiyoshi go to the Hokage Building alone to wait for us?
"Lord Kiyoshi has gone to Lady Mikoto's house."

The red lotus opens its mouth.

"Mikoto?"

The image of a gentle older sister appeared in Kurenai Yuhi's mind.

She remembered that Mikoto used to help Kiyoshi with many things in his life.

After asking Honglian where Mikoto's house was, Yuhi Kurenai set off on her journey to Mikoto's house.

"Kiyoshi, that guy, went to the Jonin team leader so early."

Sarutobi Asuma felt that Kiyoshi had become much more proactive, far more so than when Minazuki-sensei was around.

"Kiyoshi is really working hard."

Kurenai Yuhi had already imagined Kiyoshi discussing mission details with Jonin Mikoto in order to improve the mission's success rate.

"Speaking of which, Hong, don't you like illusions?"

Sarutobi Asuma turned his head and smiled.

He recalled moments when he lacked emotional intelligence.

Kurenai's desire to challenge Kiyoshi, a member of the Uchiha clan, using genjutsu was clearly motivated by a desire to prove that the Yuhi clan was capable as well.

He was also advising Kurenai not to argue with the Uchiha clan about this.

This isn't a question of right or wrong, it's a question of attitude and respect.

To this day, Sarutobi Asuma's emotional intelligence has improved considerably.

"Correct."

Kurenai Yuhi nodded. Now that she was a ninja specializing in illusion techniques, she was determined to stick to her path to the end.

"I recently learned the 'Fox Mind Technique,' would you like me to teach you?"

Sarutobi Asuma said confidently.

He learned this from the Sarutobi clan's ninjutsu library.

"Thank you, Asuma, you're such a kind person. But Kiyoshi taught me a lot of illusion techniques, I'll learn those first."

Kurenai Yuhi slowly shook her head.

Kiyoshi never stopped researching genjutsu, and the Uchiha clan possessed a large number of these techniques.

After all, the Uchiha clan is most famous for its fire-style techniques and genjutsu. Although the Sarutobi clan is also a large clan, only its fire-style techniques are well-known, and it lags far behind in other areas.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is known as the strongest Hokage, preferred to use Five Elements Ninjutsu and combination Ninjutsu rather than Genjutsu, such as "Five Elements: Great Combo Bullet Technique" and "Lightning Water Dragon Bullet".

His diverse and elaborate ninjutsu earned Hiruzen Sarutobi the title of "Ninja Doctor".

Kurenai's words immediately choked Sarutobi Asuma, preventing him from saying anything more.

No, Kiyoshi has explored every possible path, leaving no way out. How else can he go?
Sarutobi Asuma's mood soared, and he followed Kurenai Yuhi dejectedly.

Bang bang.

More than ten minutes later.

Kurenai raised her little fist and knocked on the door.

"Oh dear, here I am."

A gentle voice came from inside the house, suggesting that the owner was a virtuous woman.

Not long after the sound came out, the door creaked open.

What came into view was Mikoto wearing a white apron, which still had many white flour marks on it, as if she was kneading dough.

Behind her was a burly man, also wearing a white apron, holding a bowl and stirring.

At first glance, the two look like a warm and loving family.
