Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Chapter 273 The Requirement to Become Tsunade's Apprentice! Obtaining the One-Tailed Chakra (Three-in-One)

"You must be careful of Rasha."

Tsunade whispered in Kiyoshi's ear.

Then she took off her shoes and dangled her legs over the edge of the sand-iron flying carpet.

The air glided through me like water, as if I were immersed in it.

Tsunade's fair, jade-like feet swayed gently, and the red nail polish on them was faintly visible.

"I know, I will be careful."

Qingsi nodded.

How could he not sense Luo Sha's murderous intent?
【Yang Release Active Body (Purple)】 allows Kiyoshi to instinctively counterattack the moment he is attacked.

As the saying goes, "The cicadas sense the autumn wind before it blows," these murderous intents will cause a slight stinging sensation on Kiyoshi's skin, serving as a warning to him.

Just like Kurama's "malice perception," Naruto can use this ability after borrowing Kurama's chakra. He will be able to detect anyone who harbors malice towards him immediately.

"Do you want to rest for a while?"

Tsunade placed her hand on Kiyoshi's shoulder and channeled a stream of chakra into him.

"Need not."

Qingsi shook his head.

For a medical ninja like Tsunade, transferring chakra to others is a very simple thing.

During the Five Kage vs. Madara battle, Tsunade gave Onoki chakra, using Onoki's back as a medium.

How much longer will our negotiations last?

"Three days."

Tsunade said a number and stretched.

Up close, Kiyoshi could almost see the faint blue veins bulging in people's hearts.

"Tsunade, you're really getting less and less wary of me."

Qingsi thought so.

He remembered that when he first met Tsunade, he wanted to become her apprentice, but she refused.

Sooner or later, he will be able to go even further.

Kiyoshi is very much looking forward to this.

Such a forthright woman, and her unknown side.

This could also become... a piece of the puzzle of his pupil power.

"By the way, Lady Tsunade, do you still accept apprentices?"

Qingsi asked.

There can be more than one teacher and one student.

Naruto had several teachers, including Iruka, Kakashi, and Jiraiya.

These people all regarded Naruto as a true disciple.

"What, you want to learn 'Sage Mode'?"

Tsunade tilted her head slightly, her brown-gold eyes gazing at Kiyoshi.

She knew that Kiyoshi had obtained the Ryuchi Cave training method from Orochimaru.

"A little bit."

Qing Si readily admitted it.

He has mastered the "Sage Mode" of Yongji Cave.

[White Snake Transforms into an Immortal (Purple)] Increases affinity with natural energy by 100%.

[Flying Bird (Green)] increases affinity with natural energy by 20%.

[Soaring Through the Skies (Blue)] Increases affinity with natural energy by 40%.

[Entry: Nature's Blessing (Purple)] Increases affinity with natural energy by 100%.

In addition to the [Perfect Physique (Gold)] he obtained earlier, his affinity for natural energy has increased by a total of 560%!

Kiyoshi felt that learning the "Sage Mode" from places like Mount Myoboku and Shikkotsu Forest, which require long periods of training, would be a piece of cake for him.

If Kiyoshi is willing, this chakra will directly condense into Kiyoshi's body, requiring much less time than for others.

Once he learns the "Sage Mode" of Mount Myōboku and Shikkotsu Forest, Kiyoshi is eager to see how perfect his "Sage Arts" will become.

"Well, that's not necessarily a bad thing."

To Kiyoshi's slight surprise, Tsunade did not refuse immediately.

"Does Lady Tsunade have any requests?"

"I want you to teach me the art of silencing. As you know, because of my symptoms, I often can't actually do hands-on practice with silencing; I can only teach you some theoretical knowledge."

Tsunade exhaled and gazed at the endless yellow sand in the distance.

The sun shone through the clouds, illuminating Tsunade's profile and adding a touch of magnificent beauty.

The reason she agreed to Kiyoshi's request was simple: it was because of Shizune, and Tsunade felt somewhat guilty towards Shizune.

Jingyin followed her around constantly on the run from debt collectors, but she couldn't teach Jingyin much.

Therefore, upon seeing Kiyoshi, this rising star, Tsunade decided to pave the way for Shizune.

A ninja, perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, will one day die at an unexpected time.

Especially for a ninja like her who suffers from hemophobia, such a fatal weakness is obvious once a real battle breaks out.

Tsunade hopes that even after she's gone, Shizune will still be able to live a good life.

"Shizune is my classmate. Even if Lady Tsunade didn't say anything, I would still take care of her. These things are nothing."

Qingsi said.

In medicine, the most important thing is practical experience. No matter how rich the theory is, it is just empty talk.

Sakura Haruno was able to catch up with Shizune in a short time, and Tsunade's removal of hemophobia was also a key factor.

She was able to teach Sakura Haruno without reservation.

Under the guidance of such a top-notch medical ninja, anyone who isn't too incompetent will achieve something.

Tsunade glanced back at Kiyoshi, nodded slowly, and uttered a few words:
"To become my disciple, you must pass a test. After returning to Konoha, I will teach you the 'Yin Seal.' If you cannot learn it, I will not risk taking you to Shikkotsu Forest."

Tsunade shook her head.

The "Sage Mode" in Shikkotsu Forest is more demanding than in other places.

She perfectly inherited the Senju bloodline and possessed unparalleled chakra control talent.

Even under such circumstances, he still failed to learn "Sage Mode".

Cultivating "Sage Mode" can be considered a kind of forbidden technique. Once learned, it will not endanger the user's life, but the process of cultivation is extremely risky.

A moment's carelessness could lead to death.

"But you could ask Jiraiya. He has the 'Sage Mode' from Mount Myōboku. He was always a bottom-of-the-class student when he was young, and he still managed to learn it. Maybe you can too, but of course, it depends on whether he teaches you or not."

After Tsunade finished speaking, she looked at Kiyoshi, seemingly observing his expression.

"no problem."

Kiyoshi said without the slightest hesitation.

Once he gets the "Sage Mode" in Shikkotsu Forest, he'll eventually make a trip to Jiraiya's place.

During this time, Orochimaru's cursed seal should have made progress; you can go and ask him about it.

Once he gets his hands on them all, Kiyoshi's strength will take another leap forward.

Tens of minutes later.

The group returned to Sunagakure and waited for a while before Rasa returned with a dozen or so Sunagakure ninja.

Just as the Sand Village ninjas were about to take Kiyoshi and his group to stay, Rasa suddenly called out to Tsunade.

"Princess Tsunade, I wonder if you could help treat Shigaraki?"

Luo Sha spoke.

"Karuro?"

Tsunade asked in confusion.

She doesn't know this person.

Information about Karura flashed through Kiyoshi's mind as he stood to Tsunade's left.

She is the mother of Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro.

She died in childbirth complications while giving birth to Gaara, and at the moment of her death, she died with regret and longing for her child.

That's why Gaara's sand unconsciously protects him.

There is the remaining power of Garuda within it.

"Is she hurt?"

Tsunade asked.

"No, it's that I can't sleep."

Luo Sha shook his head and clenched his fists.

Clearly, he had no solution to the problem either.

Insomnia?

Tsunade asked again.

Luo Sha hesitated for a moment before nodding.

He wasn't sure if he could categorize it as this disease, so he turned around and said a few words to the Sand Village Anbu beside him. Soon after, the Sand Village Anbu brought back a woman.

The woman had shoulder-length, sandy-brown hair and a beautiful face.

His brows furrowed with weariness, and his face was pale.

"You are... Uchiha Kiyoshi?"

Karluka.

"it's me."

Kiyoshi was slightly surprised, as he had never met this woman before.

If we're talking about acquaintance, it should be that he, being familiar with the plot, unilaterally came to know Karura.

"I've heard about your deeds, but I didn't expect you to be as handsome as the rumors say."

Galuro coughed a few times as he spoke.

Subconsciously, Kiyoshi shifted his gaze to Rasa.

Luo Sha's face was expressionless, revealing neither joy nor anger.

“Give me your hand, Galuro.”

Tsunade said.

"okay."

Karura nodded and gave his hand to Tsunade.

"Her chakra is strange."

After a brief examination, Tsunade came to this conclusion.

It's like there are two streams of chakra inside, one gentle and the other violent.

The violent chakra was sealed away, with only a small amount dissipating from the meridian system.

In this situation, only Tsunade reacted instantly.

The One-Tailed Beast of Sunagakure!
As the war has progressed, various countries have successively deployed their tailed beasts into the battlefield, and even the new generation of ninjas now know what tailed beasts are.

It's obvious that after Karura became a Jinchūriki, his chakra was barely enough to suppress the Tailed Beasts, leaving him with the aftereffect of looking haggard.

"Can it be cured?"

Luo Sha asked.

Galuro's situation is special; his life must be preserved.

And he couldn't bear to see Galuro die.

"Kiyoshi, come and take a look."

After thinking for a while, Tsunade called Kiyoshi over.

This also serves as a test of Qing Si's abilities.

After Kiyoshi used his hand to input chakra to investigate, he came to the same conclusion as Tsunade.

Did I cause the butterfly effect?

Kiyoshi secretly said.

In the original story, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki was a monk named Bunpuku before Gaara.

During the era of the Second Kazekage, young Bunpuku had the One-Tailed Shukaku implanted in his body, becoming the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, and even developed a friendship with Shukaku.

Fearing he would lose control, the Sunagakure leadership imprisoned him in jail, never to leave again.

In the end, even his own name was forgotten by the ninjas guarding the prison in Sunagakure, who referred to him by the name of the tailed beast, Shukaku.

The fact that you can learn his name from Ichio's mouth already shows that Bunpuku has the ability to do so.

It's a pity that meat-eaters are contemptible.

"The Jinchūriki became Karura. Karura's constitution was actually similar to Hinata's mother's. One died in childbirth after giving birth to three children, and the other died not long after giving birth to her second daughter."

Kiyoshi thought to himself, silently probing.

Even so, Karura was still chosen as a Jinchūriki.

Is it because her chakra is special?
Kiyoshi withdrew his hand.

No matter what, he has to get the One-Tailed Beast's chakra.

This will make it easier for him to get closer to the first tail.

"Luo Sha, Jia Lu Luo's illness is difficult to cure."

Tsunade spoke her mind.

Healing a person is easy, but healing someone who is constantly being interfered with by a tailed beast is difficult.

The best solution is to seal the tailed beasts even deeper.

She only knows a little bit of the vortex sealing technique, which was taught to her by her grandmother, Mito Uzumaki.

But how could these sealing techniques possibly help Sunagakure better control the Tailed Beasts?
The alliances will remain intact.

As long as Sunagakure's strength isn't significantly weakened, it can alleviate the pressure on Konoha.

Upon hearing this, Luo Sha's face showed disappointment.

Even Tsunade couldn't cure it?

Upon hearing this answer, Galuro also lowered his head.

Her eyes were surrounded by dark circles, making her look like she hadn't slept in years, radiating a deep weariness.

"Kiyoshi, do you have any leads?"

Tsunade looked at Kiyoshi, who was deep in thought.

She knew that Kiyoshi and Orochimaru were quite close, and that he might know some other methods.

It would be best if we could help Sunagakure heal, so as not to become a burden on Konoha.

Otherwise, if one side is too strong and the other too weak, Konoha will have to go to Sunagakure to provide support from time to time.

Luo Sha raised his head slightly, a glimmer of hope rising within him.

He then thought again, even Tsunade couldn't do anything about it.

Uchiha Kiyoshi's medical skills are somewhat renowned, but far less so than his Body Flicker Technique and Lightning Release. He probably had no other choice.

"In that case, everyone can rest in Sunagakure for now..."

"I have a solution."

Kiyoshi interrupted Rasa.

"!"

"Do you really have any idea?"

Luo Sha said unexpectedly.

"I once practiced 'immortal arts' in Ryuchi Cave."

Kiyoshi's gaze fell on Karura.

With the blessing of natural energy, both sealing techniques and medical ninjutsu are greatly enhanced.

Not to mention his "Dark Medical Ninjutsu," which he continuously improved and perfected, is precisely the ninjutsu most adept at modifying the physical body.

"Celestial Arts? Yes, Celestial Arts..."

Luo Sha muttered to himself.

It is said that "Sage Techniques" can enhance the power of ninjutsu several times over.

In that case, Kiyoshi might actually be able to cure Karura.

"As for further treatment options, further diagnosis is needed."

Kiyoshi loosened his grip and glanced at Rasa again.

In the original story, Luo Sha committed many evil deeds, but his love for his wife was different.

Rasa was truly confident that he could control the One-Tailed Beast, which is why he inserted it into Gaara's body.

After all, the One-Tailed Beast is different from other ninja villages. Their tailed beast was not distributed by Hashirama, but was sealed in a tea pot in a temple in the Land of Wind a long time ago.

It's normal for Luo Sha to feel confident with such a unique advantage.

Unfortunately, he ultimately failed. Karura died in childbirth and began to believe that Gaara was a failure. Therefore, Gaara would suffer more than any of his siblings, his mind twisted into that of a serial killer.

Things only improved after he met Naruto during the Chunin Exams arc.

"Okay, you can go."

Luo Sha nodded in agreement.

Everything will be fine as long as Garuda can be cured.

Afterwards, the Sunagakure Anbu led everyone to rest.

The next day.

The people from Yunyin left.

Tsunade went to negotiate with Rasa early in the morning.

Kiyoshi went to Karura's house.

The presence of Sunagakure's ANBU and Pakura and her master there demonstrates the importance Rasa placed on the matter.

“Teacher, that’s Uchiha Kiyoshi.”

A girl pointed at Kiyoshi, her face showing anger.

"Masaki, now Kiyoshi Uchiha is going to diagnose Karura."

Yekura pressed down on Masaki's hand.

She and Kiyoshi will have a showdown sooner or later, but not now.

"Your disciple has grown up quite a bit."

Qingsi smiled.

Ye Cang snorted coldly and let Masaki go in first, lest Masaki lose control of his emotions.

She walked forward.

Qing Si followed.

As he was about to enter through the doorway, Kiyoshi raised his hand.

Snapped!
Yekura felt a burning pain in her buttocks, followed by a tingling, numb sensation.

Its full curve trembled slightly, like a water bag shaking.

Yekura immediately turned around and glared at Kiyoshi, chakra already gathering in her hand.

Click.

Galuro opened the door.

"Ms. Yekura?"

Masaki turned around.

She thought she just heard the sound of swatting a mosquito.

Summer is here, and there are always a lot of mosquitoes.

Moreover, these mosquitoes, which possess chakra, are well adapted to the desert environment, and their bites cause both pain and itching.

"fine."

Yekura bit her lower lip, her ears turning red, a burning shame spreading outwards from the pain.

With each step, I could feel a tingling sensation.

But now is not the time to launch an attack.

Galuro still needs to be treated by Qing Si.

The alliance between the village and Konoha is also at a critical juncture.

"Change your clothes next time. Always wearing ninja pants is not feminine. Skirts are much more charming."

Kiyoshi walked past Yekura and headed into the room.

Yecang trembled uncontrollably, her buttocks taut.

This guy...this guy...

She hasn't sought revenge on Qing Si for what happened last time.

They actually dared to push their luck in public!
They even demanded that she change into a skirt!

"Ye Cang, come in quickly."

Karura's voice quickly suppressed the anger in Yekura's heart.

忍~
A ninja is someone who can endure hardship.

A person who can endure unreasonable circumstances, the scorching sun, and the dryness of the desert, and still continue to fight.

Moreover, ninjas are people who can overcome adversity.

Even if blades were to fall from above, a ninja's beliefs would never change!

Yekura, adhering to her ninja way, endured it.

She walked forward nonchalantly, her face flushed with a burning red.

"It's so hot!"

Masaki muttered to himself.

Ms. Yecang blushed with embarrassment.

She'll have to find some ice to put in the cold water for Ms. Yecang to drink later.

"Please ask a few of you to wait outside while I make the diagnosis."

Qingsi said.

Inside Karura, there were several Sunagakure ANBU members standing there.

The members of the Sand Village's ANBU looked at each other, none of them making a move.

“They came because my condition wasn’t very stable this morning.”

Garuda's voice was hoarse.

Normally, these Sand Village ANBU members would only guard from a distance outside.

"Lord Karura, you can't do this."

Ye Cang's expression tightened.

What if Kiyoshi does something wrong?
That guy wasn't afraid at all; he did whatever came to mind.

How could anyone dare to let such a daring person in alone?

"Ye Cang, and you all, go out first."

Gallo waved her hand, yawned, and looked extremely tired.

"Yes, Lord Karura."

The Sand Village's ANBU members all went outside.

They're separated by only one door, so if anything happens, I can rush over immediately.

Ye Cang hesitated, then finally shut her mouth and walked away.

Masaki followed Yokogura.

After going outside, Ye Cang dared not stand with his back to the wall; whenever he did, he felt a burning sensation.

She then carefully observed and sensed the situation inside.

"Have you not slept in a long time?"

"Yeah, I haven't slept since a monster appeared inside me."

Karura described her symptoms to Seiji.

The Qing Dynasty had anticipated this.

As a child, Gaara was afraid that the One-Tailed Beast would take over his body after he fell asleep, which prevented him from sleeping peacefully and caused him to suffer from insomnia.

Kushina also had similar symptoms, but with the "Four Symbols Seal" and the vortex sealing technique at home, she was able to suppress them and barely manage to sleep.

Even so, it's easy to become restless.

Tailed beasts won't tolerate Jinchūriki.

For thousands of years, very few people have been able to communicate with the Tailed Beasts.

Otherwise, why use sealing techniques to suppress it? You could just call out to borrow chakra.

"Give me your hand."

Kiyoshi said.

After Karura did as instructed, Kiyoshi channeled a stream of chakra into her and began using "Dark Medical Ninjutsu".

If you can't sleep, it's simply because you don't have enough melatonin.

Whenever I'm too tired to sleep, I just fall asleep.

Karura felt her eyelids growing heavier and heavier, and a sense of fear welled up inside her.

If you fall asleep, the monster inside you will come out again!

Kiyoshi helped Karura, who had fallen asleep, to bed.

The Sharingan pattern appeared in Kiyoshi's eyes, and he used his hand to open Karura's eyelids.

drop.

A ripple appeared on the calm water.

A pair of yellow eyes suddenly opened, staring intently at Kiyoshi, the intruder.

wow...

The ripples grew larger and larger, as if some monster was walking in the depths of darkness.

"How dare you barge in here, you Uchiha brat."

The voice of the one-tailed creature was very sharp, its body was sandy brown, and its huge tail looked like it was covered with layer upon layer of scales.

His entire body was covered in blue-black runes.

"……here we go again."

Gallo crouched below, clutching his head, filled with terror.

If she falls asleep, this monster will take over her body and destroy the village she loves and her companions!

"do not be afraid."

Kiyoshi bent down and patted Karura, who was trembling and clutching her head.

"You...can come in?"

Gallo stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"It's not a difficult thing."

Kiyoshi continued to look up at the enormous tail.

Each tailed beast is far larger than a human, standing tens of meters tall.

"Once you're here, you have to stay."

Shukaku suddenly opened its mouth and spat out countless grains of sand.

Swish swish.

Wind Escape·Sand Shot!
Kiyoshi stretched out his hand and gently swung it away, scattering the bullet-like sand.

"As long as it sticks on, it will work!"

One of them let out a strange laugh.

These sands will inhibit the subject's movement!

"Your sealing technique is quite good, One-Tailed Beast."

Qing Si sighed.

I can feel myself being imprisoned.

But...so what?

The Sharingan can suppress tailed beasts!

Boom!
The power of the pupils spread out.

The eye power, far exceeding that of a normal three-tomoe Sharingan, froze the One-Tailed Beast.

The restraints on Kiyoshi's body were then released.

Everything here is a spiritual world, and it is different from real reality.

Tailed beasts cannot unleash their full power, yet they are still suppressed by the Sharingan.

"Damn it, those eyes!"

Yiwei recalled some unpleasant memories.

The rebellious son of the Sage of Six Paths also had such scarlet eyes that looked like they were dripping blood.

It's so disgusting.

One tail broke free from its restraints, opened its blood-red maw, and its mouth widened in an exaggerated arc.

High-density chakra continuously condensed, and in an instant, a black sphere appeared.

"The Tailed Beast Ball, huh..."

Kiyoshi clapped his hands, and the "Celestial Cloak" spontaneously draped over his body.

"Immortal Technique: Thunder God Gate!"

Crack!

Six black arcs of electricity shot down from the sky, forming a torii gate that pinned Yiwei's tail, limbs, and head to the ground.

This is a technique created by Kiyoshi in imitation of Hashirama Senju.

All you need to do is integrate the power of sealing techniques into lightning release, and then add "Sage Techniques".

His current mastery of Lightning Release has surpassed that of Kakashi in the future, making this task effortless for him.

Although its power is not as great as the original "Sage Art: Myojinmon" used by Hashirama when he used "Wood" Release and "Sage Technique" together.

For now, it's enough to temporarily hold back one of the tails and buy some time.

"Give me your chakra, Shukaku."

Kiyoshi slowly walked up to Ichio's head.

Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, glared angrily at Kiyoshi, who was standing in front of it, and let out a sharp roar.

Bang!
Kiyoshi kicked Shukaku, creating a gash in his head from which sand slowly oozed out.

"I don't have that much patience for animals."

Qing Si's tone was indifferent.

Shukaku has killed more humans than Kurama (the Nine-Tails).

The Nine-Tails only killed a few people during its rampage, but Shukaku would occasionally erupt within Gaara.

It also influenced Gaara's thinking, making him bloodthirsty and prone to killing at the slightest provocation.

"You despicable human, don't let me see you outside!"

Shouhe was furious.

No human being has ever been so arrogant and rude in humiliating him.

Kiyoshi ignored Shukaku and gathered spinning lightning and flames in his right palm.

Immortal Technique: Thunderfire Sword!
Kiyoshi raised the Thunderfire Sword high, then lowered his hand and slashed off half of Shukaku's tail.

puff.

Its enormous tail created waves more than half a meter high on the water's surface.

"You have learned a new entry: [Entry: Fierce Battle with One Tail (Blue)]".

[Entry: Fierce Battle with the One-Tailed Beast (Blue)]

[Requirement met: Fight the One-Tailed Beast and not be instantly killed by it.]

Progress: (Completed)

[Effect: Enhances the vitality of the body's cells, increasing resistance to sealing techniques by 40%.]

【Note: You can advance later. 】

"You...you were able to hurt him?"

Gallo gazed at the incomparable figure before him.

It was as if such a terrifying monster was utterly insignificant in front of that man.

Even the current Kazekage, Rasa, couldn't defeat a Tailed Beast so easily!

"Tailed beasts are nothing more than a collection of chakra."

Kiyoshi said slowly, touching this tail.

In reality, he took out a sealing scroll, and a sandy brown chakra continuously emerged from Garura's body and was contained within the sealing scroll.

After the containment was completed, Kiyoshi looked at Karura.

"The chakra I left behind can sustain his rampage once more, but I think he'll behave himself for a while afterward."

Kiyoshi snapped his fingers.

The dim space suddenly became bright.

Karura awoke with a start, as if it had all been a dream.

　Calvin has been restless and irritable lately during his vacation.
