Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Chapter 270 Tsunade's Appreciation (Part 3 Combined, Happy May Day to all readers!)
"Kiyoshi-kun...you're joking."

Hinata Ginka's face was somewhat pale.

I wonder if Kiyoshi was mocking her with those words.

What kinds of "soft boxing" techniques do you know?

Kiyoshi then raised another question.

From beginning to end, Kiyoshi never forgot his true purpose.

That is to keep getting stronger.

Improving one's pupil power is merely one aspect of becoming stronger.

"I know the 'Gentle Fist Technique - Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four'."

"Sixty-four palms..."

Qingsi nodded.

not bad.

He was much stronger than Hinata Hyuga. Hinata Hyuga was able to unleash the complete "Gentle Fist Technique: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four" only after receiving the "Nine-Tails Chakra Cloak" from Naruto during the final battle of Shippuden, coupled with Neji's flashback.

In other words, Hinata might not even be able to use this move under normal circumstances.

No matter how ignorant and incompetent Hinata Ginka was, she still managed to learn this move.

It's no wonder that Hyuga Hiashi decisively chose to create a second account and raise Hyuga Hanabi as his successor.

"anything else?"

"No...no more."

Seeing a hint of disappointment flash in Kiyoshi's eyes, Hyuga Ginka quickly tried to salvage the situation:
“I can learn more, I can learn more to teach you.”

Her tone was mournful, and her white eyes remained fixed on Qing Si.

"write down."

Kiyoshi took out a blank scroll and a pen.

There's no rush with the "Gentle Fist" technique; we can take our time.

Kiyoshi's "Eight Gates Formation" is still under development.

First, we need to study the exaggerated load of the dark chakra breaking the last few gates of the "Eight Gates Formation".

Although Shennong used a basic version of the "Eight Gates Formation," the dark chakra was genuinely effective.

"Hiss..."

A white snake coiled around Kiyoshi's wrist, its cold forked tongue catching all sorts of information in the air.

Kiyoshi touched the two fleshy horns on her little head.

During her trip to the Land of Rain, the White Serpent accumulated a large amount of negative emotions, which refined into a large amount of demonic power.

These past few days, Kiyoshi has been researching the "Zero-Tail Technique," intending to combine the advantages of both the power of the demon and the dark chakra to create a higher quality chakra.

This will facilitate the various experiments that Kiyoshi will conduct later.

Hinata Ginka buried herself in her writing, pen flying across the paper.

Since she couldn't remember many theoretical things, Hinata Ginka could only draw pictures.

Fortunately, the Byakugan can clearly see the human body's meridian system, so the diagram drawn by Hinata Ginka is quite accurate.

Kiyoshi wasn't worried that Hyuga Ginka might do something shady here that could cause side effects to his training.

Once there are conflicts or contradictions in the meridian system's operational routes, Qing Si will recognize them immediately.

The first essential for chakra control is to be extremely familiar with the meridian system and the chakra points on it, so that you can find the optimal solution.

"The handwriting... is rather ugly."

Kiyoshi watched for a while, then bent down and slowly stood behind Hinata Ginka.

Kiyoshi, who possesses the Sharingan, has impeccable handwriting, exactly like that in textbooks.

Hinata Ginka's handwriting is truly indescribable.

"Hold... I'm sorry."

Hinata Ginka could only lower her head, slow down her writing speed, and write carefully, stroke by stroke.

"Madam Yinhua, do you know that there is a correct posture for holding a pen and writing?"

Kiyoshi could clearly see the beautiful curves of Hinata Ginka's back, and if he continued to look down, he could even see the prominent lines.

Beneath the thick white kimono, some shapes were outlined.

"This should be written like this."

Kiyoshi bent down and took Hinata Ginka's hand from behind, helping her correct a mistake in a stroke.

"……it is good."

Hinata Ginka's eyelashes trembled slightly, like thorns on her back, and she felt goosebumps rise all over her body.

"And here, it's like this."

Kiyoshi then moved her hand and wrote a standard "の".

If an outsider were to witness this scene, they would notice that Kiyoshi appears to be holding Hyuga Ginka.

Afterwards, Kiyoshi kept teaching her to correct her gestures, and there were bound to be some bumps and bruises.

…………

Night gradually fell.

Honglian was constantly busy in the kitchen.

She takes every day very seriously so that Kiyoshi can eat the best food.

Moreover, the ingenious recipes that Qing Si gave her broadened Hong Lian's horizons.

One can only admire Kiyoshi. He must have traveled to many places in the ninja world and learned a great deal about local customs and traditions to be able to write such exotic recipes.

Click.

The kitchen door was pushed to one side, revealing the inner room.

To prevent the smell of smoke from spreading into the living room, Honglian always closes the door.

Hearing the noise, Honglian turned around and found it was Qingsi.

Kiyoshi's hands were wet, as if water had been poured out of a teapot, and they shimmered under the light.

"Lord Seiji."

Honglian called out.

"The food was quite good tonight."

Kiyoshi glanced at Honglian, who was wearing an apron and flipping the pot.

Honglian's height is growing very fast, and she no longer needs to stand on a stool.

"hey-hey."

Hearing Qing Si's praise, Hong Lian's earlobes turned red, and she felt happy.

Wow…

Kiyoshi went into the sink and pressed the switch to the side. Clear water immediately flowed from the faucet to wash his hands.

Honglian only noticed a strange smell, which dissipated as she rinsed under the tap.

"By the way, Lord Kiyoshi, is dinner tonight for three or four people?"

Guren asked.

The so-called three people refer to Kiyoshi, her, and the white snake that Kiyoshi keeps as a spirit beast.

That guy has a huge appetite and is very picky.

A guest from the Hyuga clan arrived today, and Guren was unsure what to do, so she took the initiative to ask Kiyoshi for instructions.

"Just do it as usual, she'll be leaving soon."

Wow…

The water continued to flow.

The water flowing over the smooth metal surface of the sink reflected Kiyoshi's scarlet eyes.

Kiyoshi's pulsating Sharingan gathered a small stream once more, pushing his potential even higher.

"His pupil power has almost reached another level."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

That is... the realm of kaleidoscopes.

What kind of things will his soul's eyes reflect?

Kiyoshi quietly watched his reflection in the water, his two three-tomoe jade pendants slowly rotating, getting closer and closer.

It seems that one day they will connect and form a completely new pattern.

……

In the living room, Hinata Ginka had a tear welling up in her eye.

She placed the water-stained white paper on the table and straightened the scattered teapot.

The blank page was now covered with black text and patterns, and in some places, there were traces of dried water.

Hinata Ginka tried to wipe it, but found it wasn't clean.

She had no choice but to roll the white paper together to form a scroll and tie it with a thin string.

Hinata Ginka straightened her conservative kimono, carefully bent down, lifted a corner of her skirt to reveal her small feet in white socks, put on her shoes, and quietly left Kiyoshi's house.

She walked alone in the Uchiha settlement.

Occasionally, Uchiha would pass by on the roadside. Hyuga Ginka would lower her head, and under the dim streetlights, it was difficult to see her face clearly.

Tens of minutes later.

When she finally returned to the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Ginka immediately took a bath.

"Yinhua, you...you're back."

Hyuga Nobuhiko's ears twitched slightly as he heard some noise.

To make it easier to take care of him, Hinata Ginka has moved next door.

After the two are officially married, they can live together.

"Lord Nobuhiko, Lady Ginka has gone to take a bath; she can't hear us here."

Hinata Natsumi spoke, watching Hinata Ginka's hurried departure in the distance. The sudden flush on her haggard face was still lingering in Hinata Natsumi's mind.

Hinata Natsumi seemed to have guessed something.

She wasn't sure which step it was.

"Ah Xia, did something happy happen? I can hear the emotion in your voice."

After learning that Hyuga Ginka was deaf, Hyuga Nobuhiko turned his face toward Hyuga Natsu.

His dark, empty eyes were covered with bandages so as not to frighten the children in the tribe.

"Eh?"

Hinata Natsumi was taken aback, and she subconsciously touched her face.

She noticed an exaggerated curve on her beautiful face.

She was...laughing.

A gloating yet twisted smile.

It was just short of letting out a piercing laugh.

"Lord Nobuhiko, your hearing is truly excellent."

Hyuga Natsu laughed in front of Hyuga Nobuhiko.

How pathetic, how pathetic.

Hinata Ginka, that arrogant and domineering woman, finally met her match.

This is the cycle of cause and effect; retribution is inevitable!

Hinata Natsumi felt extremely relieved, even a little excited.

"There's an old saying that goes, 'When the Sage of Six Paths closes one door, he will surely open another window for you.'"

Hinata Nobuhiko said.

To avoid going mad in the darkness, he could only try to find joy in his suffering.

Having lost his sight, his body automatically enhanced his hearing.

His hearing is now several times better than before.

"That's what Lord Hiashi told me."

When Hyuga Nobuhiko talked about Hyuga Hiashi, his tone became much lighter.

Even though he was punished, it was in accordance with the clan rules.

On the contrary, Lord Hiashi offered him some words of comfort, which warmed Hyuga Nobuhiko's heart.

"is it?"

A strange glint flashed in Hinata Natsu's eyes.

Ever since Hinata Nobuhiko was forcibly taken his seed by the Kirigakure men on the battlefield, something seems to have gone wrong.

Not long after, Hinata Ginka put on new clothes.

"A-Xia, go pour me a glass of water."

Hinata Ginka said hoarsely.

The way he was sitting on the tatami was a bit strange.

Hinata Natsu bowed her head in agreement and went to get the water bottle, a slight chuckle creeping onto her face in a corner unseen by Hinata Ginka.

"Yinhua, we're getting married next month."

Hinata Nobuhiko sighed inwardly.

This is probably the only good news during these dark times.

"Yes."

Hinata Ginka's face stiffened, and she slowly nodded.

In her mind, she imagined Kiyoshi's hand tracing the back of her hand, until...

A sense of guilt weighed heavily on Hinata Ginka's heart.

She felt sorry for Nobuhiko.

If it weren't for the fact that she was just one step away from being reunited, in other respects, she would actually be no different from Kiyoshi...

But all of this is for Nobuhiko.

for him.

Feeling guilty, Hinata Ginka could only find excuses to absolve herself.

"Nobuhiko... Nobuhiko, we've found someone to help you with your eye transplant. Perhaps in a while, you'll be able to see again."

Hyuga Ginka told Hyuga Nobuhiko the good news.

"!"

Hinata Nobuhiko was pleasantly surprised.

He will be able to see the light soon.

"They're just ordinary eyes."

Finally, Hinata Ginka added a sentence.

"It's okay, it's okay, normal eyesight is already very good."

Hinata Nobuhiko said excitedly.

If you have never seen the light, you can endure the darkness forever.

He lost his sight later in life, truly falling from heaven to hell.

Seeing Nobuhiko's barely suppressed joy, Hyuga Ginka's guilt lessened considerably.

What you do yourself is always the best way.

…………

The third training ground.

Just as dawn broke, Kiyoshi arrived at the agreed location. After his pupil power had increased the previous night, he had cultivated for a while and managed to open the fourth gate of the "Eight Gates Formation".

With each new day, all the things and experiences researched by those puppet clones were poured into Kiyoshi's mind.

After adapting, Kiyoshi created new puppet clones.

"Water Release ninjutsu... I need to find Ringo Ameyuri."

Kiyoshi arrived first, and now that he was alone at the agreed location, he began analyzing how to obtain the next set of terms.

He has acquired several Jonin-level ninjutsu attributes, including the chakra natures of "Wind," "Lightning," "Earth," and "Fire." He is currently only missing "Water."

"The Illusion skill will increase my Yin Release attribute, and the Healing skill will increase my Yang Release attribute..."

Kiyoshi plans to collect all seven attributes, and maybe then he can unlock a new gold attribute.

The increase in gold-level attributes is already so terrifying, so Kiyoshi naturally wants more, and even more attributes that surpass gold-level attributes.

"Seiji~!"

In the distance, a red-haired figure was waving at him.

"Kushina."

Kiyoshi looked at the person who had come.

Kushina had a hair clip in her hair, wore a white jacket with red swirl patterns on the shoulders, and a fitted short skirt that revealed her smooth and delicate long legs.

It's clear that Kushina has an excellent figure, with a graceful and exquisite physique.

Moreover, she exudes a vibrant and energetic aura, giving off a youthful and energetic vibe.

"Were you away on a mission recently?"

Kushina parted her red lips slightly.

"I went to the Land of Rain to carry out a mission."

Kiyoshi casually exchanged pleasantries with Kushina.

"Kiyoshi, you're here so early."

Behind Kushina walked a gentle-looking young man, none other than Minato Namikaze.

"Lord Minato is going on a mission this time as well?"

"That's right, this operation is of great importance, so it is a team of four Jonin."

Namikaze water gate.

"Who is the other person?"

Qingsi asked.

"It's me, Kiyoshi-kun!"

Matt Day walked over on his hands, muttering things like "self-discipline."

"Dai has been promoted to Jonin?"

Qingsi spoke.

“We all underestimated Dai’s strength in the past. He was able to open the final gate of the Eight Gates Formation. Now is a special time, so he is being promoted to Jonin as an exception.”

Namikaze Minato explained.

"Is that so?"

Qingsi nodded.

This is normal. During wartime, special policies are naturally required, and all capabilities must be subordinated to military force.

Among ninjas, it's all about who has the bigger fist.

Especially now, when there is a severe shortage of manpower.

"Hey, everyone's here so early."

After everyone had arrived, Tsunade slowly walked over.

"You're late, Lady Tsunade."

Qing Si spoke frankly and without reservation.

Minato Namikaze scratched his head and smiled.

Kiyoshi really has guts.

Even Jiraiya wouldn't dare speak to Tsunade like that.

"Ahem, I was delayed on the way, you know."

Tsunade rubbed her index finger and thumb together to make a money gesture.

"you lose?"

"What do you mean by losing? Can you call my business a loss? I'm just trying my luck."

Tsunade's womanly face was now serious as she explained to Kiyoshi:
"I usually have better luck when I do something after I've lost."

Tsunade has figured out a pattern in her condition.

"Makes sense."

Qing Si largely agreed.

Tsunade is a gambler who always loses. Whenever she wins big through her own abilities, it means she's about to suffer a major setback.

"Hey, you actually believe that? You can't stand to see me win?"

Tsunade stood on tiptoe and put her arm around Kiyoshi's shoulder, then gently tapped Kiyoshi's forehead with her finger.

The full curves of her slender waist swayed incessantly before Qing Si's eyes, almost completely obscuring his vision, plunging him into a deep abyss.

"Kiyoshi and Lady Tsunade have such a good relationship."

Minato Namikaze's unexpected incident.

I saw Kiyoshi and Tsunade at the Third Training Ground last time, and I didn't expect their relationship to be this good.

After all, Tsunade is the granddaughter of the God of Shinobi, the princess of the Senju clan, a top medical ninja, the student of the Third Hokage, and one of the legendary Sannin.

She was surrounded by a dazzling aura, and almost no one dared to joke around in front of her.

Only Orochimaru and Jiraiya, who were from the same period, had a good relationship with Tsunade.

"Well, it's probably because Kiyoshi is better."

Kushina frowned as she thought of an answer.

She had always had a good impression of Kiyoshi.

"Kiyoshi, have you grown taller again?"

Kushina stepped over and measured the height difference with her hand.

"Yes, it's a little longer."

Kiyoshi said, bending slightly over due to gravity.

Tsunade straightened her back only after letting go.

While the group exchanged brief pleasantries, the Nine-Tails within Kushina suddenly opened its eyes.

In the dimly lit cage, a crimson light opened.

"This feeling... is the Six Paths... no, it's not."

The Nine-Tails can barely sense the outside world through Kushina, so if the Jinchūriki is in danger, the Tailed Beast will know immediately.

In Kurama's perception, a group of natural energies spontaneously surged from afar, guarding a cold, ominous, yet enormous mass of chakra.

This affinity for natural energy was something Nine-Tails had only seen in the Sage of Six Paths.

It is said that when the Sage of Six Paths entered the Toad Kingdom, he learned the so-called "immortal arts" in the blink of an eye.

He had a deep impression of the Sage of Six Paths during his childhood.

This memory has been passed down to the present day, thousands of years later.

"Is it because they are descendants of Indra?"

Nine-Tailed Secret Passage.

He once lent his power to Ashura, the second son of the Sage of Six Paths, to fight against his eldest son, Indra.

Indra, in his pursuit of power, has fallen into the Asura realm.

Uchiha Seiji... this guy is clearly on the same side as Indra.

"Could it be... that he is the reincarnation of Indra?"

A terrifying thought arose in Kurama's mind.

Over the past few thousand years, he has witnessed the reincarnations of these two brothers fighting each other for thousands of years.

It may not happen in every era, but it will definitely happen.

"Hmph, the new vessel that holds me, I hope you will pay more attention to that Uchiha. This is my advice to you."

Suddenly, the Nine-Tailed Fox opened its mouth and spoke in the mental space.

He could sense the malice emanating from Qing Siyi.

"Stop talking badly about Kiyoshi."

Kushina suddenly frowned.

The Nine-Tails repeatedly tried to possess her body, and would rampage as soon as she left the barrier.

She wouldn't believe a single word of the Nine-Tailed Fox's seductive words.

"..."

Nine-Tails slowly closed his eyes, his eyes filled with restlessness and hatred.

These humans have imprisoned him here.

Since that's the case, he'd like to see what Kushina's future holds.

"Kushina?"

Minato Namikaze noticed that Kushina's chakra seemed to have fluctuated slightly just now.

As a ninja with strong sensory abilities, he was very sensitive to this.

"nothing."

Kushina forced a smile.

It seems that I cannot neglect my training in sealing techniques.

The nine-tailed fox would always find opportunities to bewitch her, whether there was a reason or not.

"Alright, that's enough catching up, let's go!"

Tsunade waved her hand.

After completing the final checks, the group headed out of the village.

Kushina waved goodbye.

She just happened to be passing by to say goodbye to Minato Namikaze and Kiyoshi.

……

A few days later.

The group continued on their journey.

Although the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind are very close, they do not border each other.

There are only three ways to get to the Land of Wind: either through the Land of Rain or the Land of Rivers.

Alternatively, one could take a boat and travel by sea to the Land of Winds.

Kiyoshi and his group are traveling along the river route this time.

The terrain here is full of towering loess canyons, and the environment is almost as harsh as the Land of Wind.

These small countries, like the Land of Rain, serve as buffer zones between large countries.

If the land becomes fertile and rich, it will likely be invaded by the Land of Wind in no time.

After all, their First Kazekage was a ruthless man who dared to ask for land but not tailed beasts in front of all the other five Kage.

"No matter how many times I come here, it's still so hot."

Tsunade fanned herself with her hand, and a few beads of sweat slid down her fair neck until they disappeared into the unseen cleavage.

They finally crossed the land of rivers and reached the land of winds.

"We should set up camp now, Lady Tsunade."

Kiyoshi glanced at the sky, which was beginning to darken.

The desert nights in the Land of Wind are extremely cold.

There are no clouds here, the atmosphere is almost devoid of moisture, and there are few rivers, oceans, or forests, making it impossible to retain the heat emitted by the sun during the day.

Therefore, while it is hot enough to fry an egg on a rock during the day, it is cold enough to cause frostbite at night.

"it is good."

Tsunade nodded.

I took the compressed tent out of my bag and started setting it up.

The same applies to others.

All of them were Jonin, and very experienced.

Even Might Guy, who was recently promoted, had accumulated a wealth of camping experience during his Genin stage.

"This area must be the land of the Boqi clan."

Minato Namikaze glanced at the surrounding landscape and spoke.

"The Boqi clan? The clan that was once from the Land of Fire, but later joined the Land of Wind?"

Matt Day asked, puzzled.

He only reached the level of a Jonin in terms of strength; his vision is still lacking.

"Correct."

Kiyoshi said.

The ninja clan may also seek refuge with other countries; they are not fixed.

The Hōki clan appeared in "Gaara's Secret Story: Sand Fantasy" and is located on the border of the Land of Wind.

There was a ninja in the clan named Shigemi, who was also Rasa's disciple.

Their clan's princess even went on a blind date with the future Gaara, and they almost became a couple.

"It is said that there are still many ruins buried here, and if you go forward a little further, there should be a white desert."

Kiyoshi introduced the surrounding area to the group.

The Land of Wind has buried many highly developed cities like Loulan, which are called ruins. For example, there is a place called "Sand Cemetery" nearby, which is one of the lost ruins.

Gaara fought Shigemitsu there.

"Kiyoshi, you know a lot."

Minato Namikaze sighed.

Even he couldn't speak so freely about the local situation and customs as Kiyoshi did.

Ninjas typically study at ninja academies for only six years, and even less if they graduate early.

Once they graduate, the village will no longer provide education, and ninjas will have to learn everything on their own initiative.

An admiring light also appeared in Tsunade's eyes.

As a top figure in the medical field, she naturally needs to know a lot of theoretical knowledge, and she knows better than anyone the tedious process of memorizing knowledge.

But Kiyoshi is not only outstanding in the medical field, but also excels in combat.

He even has such knowledge about geography, the history of various countries, and local customs; he can be described as...omnipotent.

Kiyoshi smiled at Minato Namikaze's praise but said nothing.

In contrast, he was more curious about where Loulan, who possessed the power of the earth's veins, was in the vast, boundless desert.
Before long, Kiyoshi took out a stove and a kettle from the sealed scroll, lit a flame in his hand, and heated the water stored inside.

At the same time, he added a lot of mint leaves and tea leaves.

These are not ordinary tea leaves; they help calm the nerves of ninjas.

At night, not only is the temperature low, but the howling wind is also a challenge.

"Would you like some sugar, Lady Tsunade?"

Kiyoshi looked at Tsunade.
