Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Chapter 267: Obtained the first gold-tier entry! (Three-in-one)

The "Eight Gates Formation" grants an amplification effect for each gate opened.

How big is the difference between the first and eighth gates?
Anyone with a brain knows that they can't compare.

"Yeah."

Qingsi shook his head.

The increase in the first door was indeed relatively small.

But he didn't just open the first door.

"Chaolongyan".

Kiyoshi "slowly" threw a punch, and instantly a ferocious dragon head appeared.

"Hirutora!"

Shennong formed a special hand seal, and the image of a white tiger seemed to flash through the air.

Dragons and tigers clashed, their air currents and flames intertwining endlessly.

boom!
The resulting shockwave once again swept outwards along this area.

"Zero tail!"

The white tiger's phantom was directly shattered by Qing Si, and the dragon flame roared as it headed towards Shennong.

With his shout, Zero-Tail's body shrank a bit.

Shennong's eyes turned black, his black pupils turned golden, and his body was surrounded by fluctuations of dark chakra.

His muscles rolled and writhed, growing even larger once more.

The result was that his physical abilities were enhanced once again, and he formed hand seals, unleashing another "Day Tiger" attack.

The even more solid phantom shattered Kiyoshi's dragon head flames.

boom!
Qing Si had arrived in front of Shennong without anyone noticing, and kicked Shennong with a whip kick.

Shennong bent his arm and used his elbow to block Qingsi's leg.

"The power of dark chakra is beyond the comprehension of a brat like you."

Shennong's self-confidence swelled to an unparalleled degree.

Even though Kiyoshi's summoning beasts were cutting off people's negative emotions, the excess negative emotions were still being transformed into dark chakra for him.

The villages nearby are now being supplied with a large amount of dark chakra under the threat of the super-heavy energy cannons overhead.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that his chakra reserves are comparable to those of a tailed beast.

Wherever the two figures went, trees flew and rocks shattered, leaving almost nothing intact.

Bang bang bang!
In the end, both of them chose close combat without prior agreement, and each collision produced a sound.

The huge, muffled sound traveled through the mountains and forests and reached the village.

Yahiko frowned.

He formed hand seals, and the fine rain in the sky indicated the chakra fluctuations nearby.

The ninjutsu that Yahiko is using right now is called "Rain Sensing Technique," which allows him to sense fluctuations within a certain range by using the rainwater in the air.

He also knew an advanced ninjutsu called "Rain Tiger Freedom Technique".

By infusing his chakra into the rain, he can control his sensory ninjutsu with ease, the range of which can almost cover an entire village.

However, he has not yet mastered the "Rain Tiger Freedom Technique".

"Did you sense something, Yahiko?"

Konan asked.

The rain fell from the sky, like endless tears.

The fire spread throughout the village and could not be extinguished even by rain.

People were scattering and fleeing everywhere.

"Those two streams of chakra are both astonishing; neither I nor you can handle them..."

Yahiko said with a solemn expression.

He wanted to say that Nagato was the same, but he wasn't quite sure.

After a long period of contact, as one of Nagato's closest people, he could vaguely sense that there seemed to be some kind of amazing power hidden in those light purple eyes.

They just kept it hidden.

Of course, this is just speculation.

Now, they'd better pray that Kiyoshi wins.

Compared to the inexplicable Land of the Sky, the Land of Fire, where Konoha is located, is at least one of the Five Great Nations.

They will not invade the Land of Rain, but will only use it as a vehicle for war and a buffer zone between major powers.

If Shennong wins, his first move will probably be to invade the Land of Rain and establish the so-called Land of the Sky.

"It seems that the ninjas of Konoha have set up a sanctuary."

Xiao Nan pointed in a direction.

A large gap suddenly appeared in the street, from which dirt was constantly being thrown out, as if someone was digging.

A large crowd had gathered around the gap, and a girl with a cool and aloof appearance and curly black hair was guiding villagers and the wounded into it.

In a short period of time, a large number of people poured in.

"It's just a hole..."

Yahiko was about to say it was useless when he suddenly saw another barrier rising.

His mouth suddenly closed.

Konohagakure is a vast village that accommodates a large number of ordinary people and ninjas, making it one of the most prosperous towns in the Land of Fire.

However, Konoha could cover the entire village with a sealing barrier.

Such sealing techniques are not available in every ninja village.

This is the difference in foundation.

Should we go help them?

Xiaonan Road.

"go."

Yahiko finally nodded.

It's good to do something within your ability.

The two started walking forward.

In addition to the yellow fluid seeping from Yahiko's lower body, the bandages were also stained with red blood.

Konan realized this and could only bite her lip and follow Yahiko.

She knew Yahiko's personality; at this moment, he would definitely put the safety of these villagers above his own.

Even if you mention treatment, Yahiko wouldn't agree.

Now all we can do is pray that Uchiha Kiyoshi's situation will improve soon.

The image of Kiyoshi bathed in lightning flashed through Konan's mind.

When Konan first met Kiyoshi, she noticed that he kept staring at her.

I initially thought he was a rude and lecherous man.

Now we have to place all our hopes on him; life is truly unpredictable.

……

Rumble.

The battle still continues.

The destructive power that ninjas can unleash is on full display at this moment.

There is not a single intact piece of land around Qingsi and Shennong.

Only the rubble and yellow earth that had been turned up resembled the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War.

"You have managed to endure until now under the dual pressure of my ultimate physical body and dark chakra, so I would call you the strongest in taijutsu."

Shennong's injuries began to heal gradually.

Kiyoshi remains.

The healing abilities he possesses in "Sage Mode" are astonishing, and his "Dark Medical Ninjutsu" continues to operate.

"I'm sorry, I won. Your time is up."

After Qing Si's wounds were fully healed, Shennong suddenly uttered a sentence.

Desiring revenge against Konoha, Shennong naturally gathered a great deal of information on Konoha's powerful figures.

Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin, possessed "Sage Mode".

Strangely, he liked to move around all over the ninja world, so there are records of him taking action in many places, and the information spread as a result.

"Sage Mode" can usually only be maintained for five minutes.

Qing Si continued to beat for nine minutes before the pale green light began to fade.

"That's it. This is the limit of humanity. The power gained after arduous training is nothing more than this."

Shennong couldn't help but laugh.

He laughed many times tonight, each time being interrupted by Kiyoshi.

Now, I can finally laugh freely.

His dark chakra was still inexhaustible, but Kiyoshi's "Sage Chakra" had already disappeared.

Who else can kill him?
Who else can beat him?
He is the most powerful user of dark chakra!
"You're right, human strength does indeed have its limits."

As the last of his "Sage Chakra" was exhausted, Kiyoshi's "Sage Cloak" and Sage Mask disappeared without a trace.

To enter "Immortal Mode" again, one must re-condense and refine natural energy.

"However, I have also achieved my goal."

"Purpose?"

Shennong was puzzled, wondering if Qing Si was bluffing.

Currently, Kiyoshi only has the first gate of the "Eight Gates Formation," and his "Sage Mode" has disappeared. What abilities does he still have?
"The reason I fought you for so long, do you think it's because you're strong? I just wanted to wear you down."

Kiyoshi shook his head and chuckled.

Those Sharingan eyes, which looked somewhat eerie in the darkness, stared at the chakra flow arteries within Shennong's body.

"You're not the only one who knows dark chakra."

Kiyoshi raised his hand.

The chakra of the demonic power emanated from his palm, like burning purplish-black flames.

"what!"

Shennong was shocked, and his eyes widened.

Kiyoshi... he also possesses this power?
Shennong looked closely and found that the power was different from the dark chakra in detail.

Ultimately, however different the paths taken, they all lead to the same destination and share many similarities.

"Thanks to your constant use of dark chakra to amplify your physical body, I have also figured out the key to it."

Kiyoshi was engulfed in purplish-black flames.

Wraith Chakra Mode!
This is the new form that Kiyoshi has come to understand.

The Sharingan's ability to see through chakra pathways and its powerful insight enabled Kiyoshi to continuously learn the techniques used by Shennong.

As long as one's eye power is strong enough and one's own talent is sufficient, one can easily replicate ninjutsu.

In the original work, "Kakashi with Sharingan" is said to have copied thousands of ninjutsu. Kakashi, who is the number one technician in Konoha, has mastered the ability of the Sharingan to copy.

Kiyoshi, whose Sharingan and talent surpass Kakashi's, accomplished what he has now with ease.

Not to mention, he had been studying this power for years and was just one step away from mastering it.

Shennong, just in time, completed the last piece of the puzzle, saving Qing Si a lot of time.

"So amazing, you can actually do that too..."

Even the narrow slits of the eyes on Zero Tail's mask widened a bit.

"All ninjutsu has the potential to be learned and mastered."

Qingsi said calmly.

The chakra of the demonic power swirled and coiled around him, gradually forming a black snake shadow.

The snake-like shadow resembled the white snake and was affectionately guarding Qing Si.

"In that case, I can only use the 'Super Active Fist' and the kick that unleashes all my chakra after fusing with the Zero-Tails."

Shennong's face was full of fear.

This guy is so scary.

He has now changed his mind.

Villages, the invasion of the Rain Country, and the revival of the Sky Country can all be ignored.

Kiyoshi must be killed first.

An existence like Kiyoshi will inevitably influence him sooner or later, and may even turn the entire world upside down.

It must be nipped in the bud.

"The 'Super Active Fist,' is this what you mean?"

Kiyoshi's fair fist was covered in a purplish-black color.

His figure suddenly disappeared.

Shennong's pupils contracted, unable to detect Qing Si's speed.

puff!

It was as if a punch that shook even the mountains had pierced through Shennong's abdomen.

His upper and lower body were connected only by the skin and flesh on the left and right sides.

The bones and internal organs in the middle had all disappeared without a trace.

"!"

"...Have you mastered this power?"

Shennong coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Kiyoshi casually waved his hand, throwing the blood away before it could be splashed on him.

The "Super Active Fist" is actually the technique of condensing dark chakra in the palm of the hand, compressing it into a chakra ball like particles, and then releasing it at close range in one breath.

In the movie, this move pierced Naruto's stomach, causing his body to twist and vomit blood.

Now, it was Shennong's turn.

Rumble.

As the two confronted each other, the royal fortress in the sky continued to plummet.

In the blink of an eye, it crashed into a mountaintop, flattening the peak.

A white figure was falling from the sky and landed next to Kiyoshi.

It was the White Snake!
"Well done."

Kiyoshi patted the white snake's head.

Even though a single scale of the white snake is now almost the size of his palm, the white snake still makes a human-like expression of enjoyment.

Finally, she flicked out her scarlet forked tongue and handed a scroll to Kiyoshi. That's right, there was a huge pillar in the hall of the movie, and hidden inside the pillar was the forbidden technique "Zero-Tail Technique" that Shennong obtained from Konoha.

In the original story, after Shennong threw the scroll to Sasuke, he took advantage of Sasuke's momentary daze to escape.

"Hiss..."

The white snake, whose intelligence was not particularly high, suddenly expressed doubt.

It seems to be saying why there's a snake that looks almost exactly like its owner next to her.

Could it be a newly acquired black snake?

As it pondered this, the white snake raised its fangs and hissed at the black snake, which looked remarkably similar to itself except for the color of its scales, as a warning signal.

It seemed to be trying to warn her that her master belonged to her.

"This is chakra."

Qing Si patted the white snake's head.

Improving this guy's IQ is absolutely urgent.

"Go to the village to absorb more negative emotions."

Kiyoshi noticed that the horns on the white snake's head had grown by a third compared to before. From the Sharingan's perspective, the gaps between the white snake's scales constantly emitted fluctuations similar to dark chakra.

Furthermore, this chakra seemed to be constantly altering the structure of the white snake, propelling her towards the third stage.

The snake's body also became longer and taller.

"Hiss... hiss..."

The white snake nodded, and before leaving, she didn't forget to ask Qing Si for a few top-quality white mice to eat after she finished.

After Qing Si agreed, the white snake left happily.

The enormous snake's body continued to slide forward along the gravel.

……

"Is this what battles between taijutsu ninjas are like?"

Nagato also descended from the sky. He knew six chakra nature transformations and used several wind-style ninjutsu to mitigate the impact, successfully and safely landing on the ground.

Kiyoshi's strong muscles and the visceral impact of his punches greatly surprised Nagato.

So, ninjas can fight like this?
He then continued to observe Qing Si and Shen Nong.

……

"Uchiha ninjas are troublesome no matter where they go."

While Kiyoshi and the White Snake were talking, Shennong took the opportunity to repair his body with dark chakra.

The cavity in its abdomen also merged with Zero Tail, becoming one with it, and the wriggling Zero Tail body extended from its abdomen.

Just like the fairy godmother.

Shennong's black hair had turned somewhat white, and his once youthful face had aged considerably.

Clearly, this stance is extremely taxing on chakra.

"This is my strongest attack; no one can withstand it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of red steam rose around Shennong.

A phantom red and black dragon shadow gradually appeared on his body.

"Darkness... Super Active Kick!"

Shennong roared as he charged rapidly toward Qing Si.

With each meter it approached, the dragon's shadow grew larger, advancing relentlessly and unstoppably.

Kiyoshi stood there, watching this scene unfold.

The purplish-black, viscous, liquid-like chakra of the demon began to climb onto his hands, layer upon layer, until it formed an arm armor resembling "Susanoo".

However, beneath that purplish-black chakra, pulses throbbed like blood vessels, and a similarly powerful flow of energy emanated from Kiyoshi's body.

They even ripped open Kiyoshi's shirt.

Kiyoshi merely stood there, yet his unintentional aura sent shivers down the spines of the creatures present. Even the sparrows that occasionally flew overhead quickly sped away into the distance.

Shennong, who had merged with Zero Tail, also noticed this.

But he could no longer stop; he had no choice but to fight with all his might.

As the red and black dragon shadow drew ever closer, Kiyoshi finally withdrew his fist.

Swing it out again with even more force!
boom!
Like a thunderclap in nature, Kiyoshi's punch landed squarely on Shennong's foot.

The red and black dragon image was torn to shreds like paper.

At the same time, the enormous impact sent half of Shennong's body flying, hundreds of meters away on the spot.

It was deeply embedded in the mountain wall, and spiderweb-like cracks spread out, even causing the mountain peak to tremble a few times.

"call……"

Kiyoshi took a breath.

That last attack used a significant amount of demonic chakra.

But the rewards were plentiful.

Sensing Shennong's increasingly sluggish aura, Qing Si opened the entry panel and selected "Advancement".

[Entry: Azure Beast (Purple)]

"The reward for defeating the seventh gate is alright."

Kiyoshi nodded and looked at the next one.

【Progress: (Completed).】

[Effect: Your will can influence your physical body to a certain extent, increasing your body control by 300%]

【Note: You can continue to advance later. 】

"It's worthy of being a golden entry."

Kiyoshi was slightly pleased with the effect of the dense handwriting.

His heart suddenly began to beat rapidly, and his blood was boiling.

Alternating hot and cold sensations, numbness and pain...

A multitude of feelings welled up in Kiyoshi's heart.

He touched it and found that the outer layer of skin was torn, revealing an even more tender layer underneath.

Natural energy began to protect Qing Si, and the concentration in the area where he was located automatically began to rise.

"The changes are expected to continue for some time."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

"Next, we can try fusing 'Bloodline Limits.' Which one should we develop first?"

Kiyoshi stroked his chin and thought for a while before looking at the final result.

"Does that mean I can live to be at least two or three hundred years old?"

If a ninja doesn't suffer from internal injuries and doesn't die from homicide, their physical condition is actually much healthier than that of an ordinary person.

Living to eighty or ninety years old shouldn't be a problem.

The reason why ninjas seem to die young is because the intensity and frequency of battles are too high.

"No, cells have a limited number of divisions. My reckless use of 'Dark Medical Ninjutsu' before, even if it didn't significantly deplete my life force, did shorten my lifespan somewhat."

Qingsi closed the entry panel.

As the entries continue to advance, will it be possible to gain longer lifespans, or even immortality?
This is an unknown.

Kiyoshi didn't know what was above the gold label.

We can only find the answer by slowly exploring and figuring it out.

Kiyoshi stood there for a while, feeling himself becoming stronger and his physical energy becoming abundant.

His chakra reserves also increased dramatically.

"Let's go and retrieve Shennong first."

Kiyoshi hurried on his way.

After a few seconds.

"Why... have you become stronger again?"

Qing Si stood before Shennong, who, in his final moments, looked at Qing Si with a last burst of energy.

Why... is this person completely different from before?
Unfortunately, Qing Si did not answer him, but silently crushed Shennong's neck.

Shennong's body still has great research value and can be used for future research.

Even until his death, Shennong had an expression of utter astonishment in his eyes.

…………

village.

Inside the makeshift shelter, everyone waited anxiously for the explosion.

This includes Yahiko and Konan, who have already moved here.

"Has it already exploded?"

Sarutobi Asuma, panting heavily, wiped the dirt off his chakra blade.

He had just heard several explosions, and the ground shook. He didn't know if it was artillery fire from above.

"I don't know, we can only wait. We can't go out rashly right now."

Kurenai held a candle in her hand, which was given to her by a villager as a token of her gratitude.

"I just hope Kiyoshi will be safe."

Mikoto frowned.

Without realizing it, she had become so concerned about that little brat from the past.

What should she do if something really happens?
While Mikoto was feeling melancholy, Yahiko wrapped his bandages around himself again.

The pain shielding provided by adrenaline is now gradually dissipating.

Yahiko could feel a burning, excruciating pain.

But there was another group of people here, including members of the Akatsuki organization, so it wasn't appropriate for him, as their leader, to take his pants off and check on them.

"I wonder how Nagato is doing."

Konan asked.

"...I hope everything is alright."

Yahiko's tone was uncertain, clearly indicating that he was also very worried.

While everyone's thoughts were racing, a gap was opened in the sealed barrier above.

Then someone dug a hole in the thick layer of soil that was covering it.

The moonlight poured down from the cave entrance, revealing a handsome face.

"Mikoto, Hong, come up here."

"Seiji!"

Mikoto recognized Kiyoshi's voice and quickly looked up.

Kiyoshi nodded, widened the opening a bit, and went down to explain the situation to Mikoto.

Mikoto touched Kiyoshi's hand, then touched his other hand.

I reckon if there weren't so many people, everyone would have wanted to check if Kiyoshi had any injuries in his pants.

Fortunately, there was nothing seriously wrong.

"I'm fine, Mikoto-nee."

Kiyoshi shook his head, his black hair swaying, his strong body appearing even more defined in the moonlight.

It was a scene that was visually striking.

Mikoto had a feeling that Kiyoshi had changed in some way, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

I just think Kiyoshi looks better than before.

"You... won?"

Konan stared at Kiyoshi, trying to get an answer from him.

She felt like everything today was a dream.

A crisis that happened in a muddle, and a solution that happened in a muddle.

"Miss Xiaonan, you can think of it that way."

Qingsi smiled slightly.

While they were talking, Nagato arrived.

Yahiko breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Nagato was safe and sound, and then asked Nagato about the details.

Upon learning that it was indeed as Kiyoshi had said, in order to appease the other villagers, he promptly informed them of the matter.

Soon, thunderous cheers erupted in the shelter.

Kiyoshi was also hailed as a hero.

It is foreseeable that the name "Black Lightning" will be widely circulated among the survivors for some time to come.

Qing Si didn't value these things much.

Having obtained the term and the "Zero-Tail Technique" this time is already a huge profit.

Shennong's body was also collected by the Qing Si and used as research material.

As for the Akatsuki's gratitude, it was icing on the cake for Kiyoshi.

"The Uchiha clan can make a deal with you and provide the ninja tools you lack."

Kiyoshi shook hands with Yahiko, then glanced at Konan beside him.

In the early stages of Akatsuki's development, it was suppressed by the Land of Rain, and surrounding merchants dared not sell ninja tools to them due to pressure.
