Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Kiyoshi's gaze fell on Kakashi, and he asked with a smile.

"Why would I mind? On the contrary, watering in time helps the pink lilies stay active for longer."

Kakashi said.

He still has that much common sense.

There's always an indescribable smell in the air.

Kakashi thought for a moment and realized it must be the dust that had come out of the house during the big cleaning.

The dust particles gathered together and gave off a unique smell.

Perhaps this is why there is a saying that a thorough cleaning can drive away "bad luck".

"haha, yes."

Kiyoshi nodded, glancing casually at Nohara Rin.

Nohara Rin gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, unable to utter a single word.

No one knows this better than her.

He went down to the second floor with Kakashi and Rin Nohara, and arrived at the coffee table on the first floor.

"Kakashi, how's your 'Chidori' development coming along?"

Kiyoshi sensed the movement in the eyeballs and asked about the important matter.

"It's much more refined than before, and it's now called 'Raichi'."

Kakashi explained to Kiyoshi.

He had recently shattered a bolt of lightning in nature with "Chidori," hence the name "Raikiri."

"Nice name."

Kiyoshi nodded, took out a Lightning Release scroll from his person, and said:
"These are some Lightning Release ninjutsu techniques I know. How about exchanging them for 'Lightning Blade'?"

Kiyoshi used only Lightning Release ninjutsu given to him by Kumogakure.

In the past, he had modified the techniques he used to conceal the secrets of the Cloud Concealment, making it impossible for others to discern their origins.

Furthermore, his body was filled with a large amount of electric current to strengthen his physique, making it difficult for even those with white eyes to discern which meridian path he was following amidst the dazzling array of energy.

Now, he doesn't need to be so cautious.

The Sharingan's copying ability is so powerful that others will fill in the blanks themselves without him having to explain it.

Kakashi, an outsider, was able to perform copy ninjutsu with the three-tomoe Sharingan, let alone Uchiha Kiyoshi.

Kakashi has probably only copied a few dozen techniques so far, but as he gains more experience, he will eventually copy thousands of ninjutsu techniques as described in the original work.

"You're too kind, Kiyoshi."

Kakashi shook his head repeatedly.

To be honest, besides friendship, he also had a kind of respect for Kiyoshi that he himself was unaware of.

Kiyoshi is far superior to him in both ninjutsu and character.

Thinking of this, Kakashi glanced at Nohara Rin, whose face was flushed, and felt a pang of unease in his heart.

If he had chosen to bravely stand up and cherish his comrades, Obito could have survived.

Will everyone's ending be different?

Unfortunately, he will never know.

This heart-wrenching pain made Kakashi deeply aware of the cruel reality.

Amazingly, his left eye seemed to respond in kind, releasing a special kind of chakra.

"Kakashi?"

When Nohara Rin saw him suddenly cover his eyes, she was puzzled.

Kiyoshi, too, always likes to cover his eyes.

And each time, it feels like it gets stronger.

What are the characteristics of the Sharingan's evolution?

Nohara Rin couldn't understand it.

"nothing."

Kakashi waved his hand.

He asked Nohara Rin for a piece of scrap paper and a pen from home, wrote down the training method of "Raikiri" on it, rolled it up into a scroll, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards Kiyoshi.

"You've been a cherished companion since childhood. Without Obito, I might still be the cold-blooded Kakashi. But now I understand 'bonds,' so these things don't matter."

Kakashi spoke a lot, which was unusual for him.

He is usually very sparing with words.

Kiyoshi was the person who knew him best, and the only one who could keep up with him back then.

Therefore, Kakashi and Kiyoshi had a lot of contact, and he was able to get help from Kiyoshi during that low period.

"Well then... I'll take my leave now."

Rin also met him and caught up with Kiyoshi. Kakashi quickly said goodbye and left.

Inside the room, only Kiyoshi and Nohara Rin remained.

"Lin, don't forget what I told you."

After leaving behind a reagent containing some of the cursed seal's power, Kiyoshi used the "Flying Thunder God Technique" to teleport back home.

Looking at her empty house, Nohara Rin felt a mix of emotions.

She had another in-depth conversation with Kiyoshi.

Kakashi, however, was so ignorant.

Nohara Rin sighed, fetched a basin of water, and went to clean up the mess on the second floor.

…………

Several days passed.

Kiyoshi's family.

In the courtyard, Honglian was carefully trimming the weeds.

However, she would occasionally steal glances at the tall figure sitting in the courtyard.

"Hiss..."

The white snake slithered by, raised its head, and flicked its scarlet tongue at Honglian, as if asking why she was peeking at Qingsi.

"Go! Go! Go."

Honglian waved her hand.

Isn't this disrupting her good time?

As Honglian continued to peek, Qingsi was constantly controlling the chakra in his body's meridian system.

These chakras flowed in an orderly fashion towards the center of Kiyoshi's forehead, where they were sealed away in a special way.

When the "Yin Seal" stores a certain amount of chakra, it will show a purple diamond pattern, which is also known as the "Hundred Healings Seal".

When chakra is insufficient, this diamond pattern will not appear; it will only reappear when chakra is abundant.

"It wasn't as difficult as I imagined."

Kiyoshi secretly thought that even at this moment, he could still be distracted and think.

In the original work, Haruno Sakura spent three whole years perfecting her "Yin Seal" training.

In other words, during the gap between "Naruto Part 1" and "Shippuden", Sakura Haruno was constantly training in this technique.

Despite being an ordinary person, Sakura Haruno's talent in chakra control is several times greater than that of Naruto and Sasuke.

The process of accumulating chakra requires incredibly precise control to ensure the amount of chakra input until it meets the requirements for activating the "Hundred Healings Seal". Only then can it be considered successful.

"As for me, I should be able to accumulate enough chakra within a few months, or... even less time."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

Once the "Hundred Healings Seal" is formed, the "Yin Seal Release" ninjutsu can be used to open the opening and utilize this chakra.

Skilled users can even achieve the effects of preserving youth and improving physical function by relying on the low output and micro-adjustment ability of the chakra within the "Hundred Healings Seal".

Of course, eternal youth is just a bonus; the key is that it can be followed up with techniques such as "super strength" and "Ninja Art: Creation Rebirth." It can be said that to learn Tsunade's true abilities, one must master the "Yin Seal."

Once the "Hundred Healings Seal" is formed, Kiyoshi will be able to use this accumulated chakra to perform other ninjutsu, and even further develop it.

For example, they tried to combine the "Yin Seal" with "Sage Techniques" to accumulate "Sage Chakra" in their bodies.

"The cursed seal should give me some inspiration in this regard."

Kiyoshi used a summoning scroll to summon some of the puppet clones. After releasing them, he paused slightly to absorb the experience and memories of these puppet clones.

"Lin's side has probably made quite a bit of progress as well."

Kiyoshi plans to make time to go there.

"Lord Kiyoshi, should we put a doormat at the entrance?"

Honglian saw Qing Si stop his cultivation and ran over with a broom in her hand.

"We can put one in."

Qingsi nodded.

This is one of the customs of the ninja world. Kadomatsu are decorations made of pine branches, bamboo, etc., and placed at the front door of the house.

Pine trees symbolize longevity, and bamboo represents resilience; they both signify good fortune and auspiciousness.

In short, recently, both ordinary people and ninjas in the village have been following this custom.

It is estimated that they hope to use these to dilute the shadow of war.

Several years have passed since the day the war broke out.

"I'll make arrangements."

Honglian nodded.

"You're graduating soon, right? After graduation, you'll go straight to participate in the Chunin Selection in the first half of the year."

Qingsi spoke.

Under his tutelage, Honglian mastered the basic Three-Body Techniques without any difficulty.

Furthermore, possessing a bloodline limit like "Crystal Release," passing the Chunin Exams shouldn't be a problem.

"Yes."

"I will give you a reward after you graduate."

Kiyoshi patted Honglian's head.

After graduation, I had to become his henchman and start doing his bidding.

A small reward can be considered a way to celebrate Honglian's debut.

"it is good!"

Honglian nodded earnestly, her tone filled with excitement when she heard that Qing Si was going to reward her.

"Okay, let's go down."

Kiyoshi waved his hand.

Training must continue; accumulating chakra is a process that requires perseverance and cannot be relaxed.

Another few days passed.

The New Year is getting closer and closer.

The entire leaf-covered area was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, filled with a joyous atmosphere.

The more war rages, the more people yearn for peaceful and warm days like the New Year.

On this day, Yuhi Kurenai came to visit Qing Si.

She wore a red scarf around her neck, and her rosy cheeks looked especially lovely in the cold weather.

“Hong, it’s not even New Year’s yet, and you’ve come so early, so I won’t be giving you any lucky money.”

Kiyoshi looked at Kurenai Yuhi, who was still panting, and could imagine the girl running towards him.

"Who...who said they wanted New Year's money?"

Kurenai puffed out her little face slightly; Kiyoshi was practically teasing her like a child.

"I've come to ask you to help me pick out a gift for Ms. Mikoto."

Kurenai Yuhi said earnestly.

Minazuki-sensei only taught them for half a year; the rest of the time, Mikoto-sensei taught them.

Moreover, Kurenai found it very pleasant to be around women with such gentle personalities.

"Misaka-nee."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

Yes, that's a good reason to foster a relationship.

In previous years, Kiyoshi had never taken the initiative to visit Mikoto to wish her a Happy New Year.

Their relationship has progressed quite a bit this year, so it wouldn't seem presumptuous.

Moreover, the presence of the late Red Sun could be interpreted as a bond between teacher and student.

"How about we buy a hairpin for Ms. Misaka?"

Kurenai Yuhi suggested.

"can."

Kiyoshi thought about it and realized it was indeed a good suggestion.

Shortly after, Kiyoshi and Kurenai went out together.

Perhaps it was because the New Year was approaching, or perhaps it was because she was choosing gifts with Kiyoshi, but Kurenai was more cheerful than usual.

…………

Meanwhile, on the other side, near the street where Yuhiko's house is located.

Sarutobi Asuma put one hand in his pocket and held a cigarette between his lips with the other, took a deep drag, and then exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Tomorrow is the New Year, and according to Hong's usual practice, she will buy what she wants in advance."

Sarutobi Asuma held a cigarette in his mouth, patiently waiting for Yuhi Kurenai to return.

He waited for at least three hours, from early morning until almost noon.

Where did Hong go?

Sarutobi Asuma felt somewhat agitated.

Seriously? Hong went out so early in the morning?
Why are you going out so early?
Sarutobi Asuma frowned; he arrived earlier than Kurenai usually got up.

Unless something excites Hong so much that she gets up much earlier than usual and goes out.

Left with no other choice, Sarutobi Asuma continued to wait.

"Asuma, who are you here?"

Dressed in a ninja outfit and carrying a ninja sword, even a veteran ninja like him did not slack off on such a day.

He frowned slightly, looking at the cigarette in Sarutobi Asuma's mouth.

Smoking is not a good habit for young people.

Kurenai Yuhi had no idea how Sarutobi Asuma got into smoking.

The Naruto characters all started smoking after they were middle-aged. How old was Sarutobi Asuma?

"Ahem, Senior Shinku, I've come to see Kurenai."

Sarutobi Asuma quickly threw away his cigarette and scratched his head.

“Kurenai left early this morning,” said Kurenai Yuhi.

"You left early this morning?"

Sarutobi Asuma asked in surprise.

Then wouldn't he have waited all that time for nothing?

"Shinku-senpai, where did Kurenai go?"

Sarutobi Asuma intends to learn about Kurenai Yuhi from her.

"It's one of your team members, Uchiha Kiyoshi."

Kurenai Yuhi thought her daughter was going to meet up with the two squad members so they could all get together.

Now it seems that Sarutobi Asuma is not there?
"Seiji?"

Sarutobi Asuma paused for a moment, then quickly headed to Kiyoshi's house after bidding farewell to Yuhi Shinku.

dong dong.

However, when he started knocking on the door, no one answered him.

He called out a few times, but there was no response.

"I'm so unlucky."

Sarutobi Asuma sighed.

He must have just missed meeting Hong.

"No, maybe they went to my house looking for me."

Sarutobi Asuma thought of a possibility and hurriedly rushed home.

…………

"This hairpin is so pretty."

Kurenai and Seiji were in a hair accessory shop, which was filled with all kinds of exquisite hair accessories.

Kiyoshi wasn't short of money to buy hairpins, so he naturally went to the best shop.

"Hello, please book this hair accessory for me."

Kiyoshi waved to the shop assistant and bought the hairpin as a gift for Kurenai Yuhi.

"Eh??"

Kurenai looked at the hairpin in her small hand, never expecting that Kiyoshi would give it to her like this.

Aren't they here to choose a gift for Ms. Misaka?
"Since you like this, I'll give it to you. You can just buy another one from Mikoto."

Hearing Kiyoshi's words, Kurenai Yuhi's small hands involuntarily tightened around the hairpin in her hand, her face flushing red.

Kiyoshi... Kiyoshi, that's really unfair of you to say that.

She muttered to herself.

Feel the weight of the hairpin in your hand.

"Are there any other styles?"

Kiyoshi looked at the shop assistant.

The sales clerk had just made a big sale from Kiyoshi and immediately began introducing other styles with a big smile.

In the end, Kiyoshi chose a light gold wooden hairpin with a phoenix carved on it, which gave an elegant feeling and matched Mikoto's temperament perfectly.

"Aren't you going to find Asuma?"

Kiyoshi looked at Kurenai, who was very close to him, almost touching him.

Occasionally, when the two bump into each other, the shape of their hearts can be perfectly transmitted to Kiyoshi's arm.

"Asuma must be busy worrying about the Hokage."

Yuhi Kurenai said.

As the son of the Hokage, Sarutobi Asuma sometimes had to entertain guests at home, demonstrating the etiquette of the Sarutobi clan.

"That's it."

Kiyoshi nodded slightly, not really taking the matter to heart; it was just a casual question.

At this point, Sarutobi Asuma might only be considered an ordinary comrade in Kurenai Yuhi's heart.

On the other side of the scale, however, was his figure.

…………

The next day.

"Mikoto-sensei, we've come to celebrate the New Year with you!"

Kurenai held a small box in both hands.

Yesterday, besides choosing a hairpin for Kiyoshi, she also picked out a gift for Mikoto.

Mikoto looked at Kiyoshi and Kurenai at the door with considerable surprise.

"Please come in, everyone."

Mikoto greeted the two of them as they entered.

The interior furnishings were completely refreshed, showing that Mikoto had cleaned it meticulously.

"This is a gift for you."

Kurenai took out a small box, and Mikoto thanked her with a smile.

Strictly speaking, the relationship between the team leader and the team members is that of a superior and subordinate.

However, generally speaking, the Jonin leading the team will also become the team members' teacher, and the team members will also recognize him.

Unless it's a temporary team formation, then it's just a simple superior-subordinate relationship.

"Sister Mikoto, this is a hairpin I'm giving you."

Kiyoshi took out a wooden hairpin.

This wood is very precious; it's a special type of wood from the ninja world that can remain unrotted for years and emits a fragrant herbal scent.

"thank you all."

Mikoto was moved.

The Uchiha are a clan that values ​​love.

Therefore, they are more prone to emotional fluctuations than ordinary people.

"Please have a seat. I have plenty of ingredients here; you can stay and eat."

After saying that, Mikoto went to the kitchen to get busy.

Kiyoshi then offered to help as well.

Kurenai Yuhi had eaten Kiyoshi's cooking before and knew that he was a very good cook.

So they waited patiently outside.

Upon entering the kitchen, Mikoto took out an apron and put it on.

Just as she was about to put down the gifts from Kiyoshi and Kurenai for the time being, Kiyoshi spoke up:

"Let me put it on for you, Mikoto-nee."

After saying that, Kiyoshi took the hairpin from Mikoto's hand.

Walking behind Mikoto, he brushed her smooth black hair aside, revealing her fair neck.

Following Kiyoshi's gaze, one could see that Mikoto's black trousers were stretched taut, giving her hips a fuller curve.

Mikoto's body, sculpted from years of missions, appears to be completely free of excess fat.

It can only be described as fleshy.

"……it is good."

Mikoto nodded gently.

Kiyoshi's breath hit the back of her neck, making her feel a little nervous.

Mikoto's loose hair was quickly gathered up and tied with a black ribbon, then secured with Kiyoshi's wooden hairpin.

Her side ponytail draped down in front of Mikoto's shoulder, and Kiyoshi could still see the abyss of human hearts and the faint blue veins on the slope above her eyes.

"Okay...are you ready?"

Mikoto lowered her head.

"All right."

Qingsi nodded.

Just then, the sunset glow outside seemed unable to bear the loneliness and came in from the living room.

Click.

The door she pushed open almost hit Mikoto.

She instinctively stepped back, bumping into Kiyoshi's strong chest.

"Are you alright, Mikoto-nee?"

Kiyoshi helped her up.

With a slight ripple of his pupils, he keenly observed... the buttocks trembling slightly outside the black trousers.

I have to say, Mikoto is really radiant.

If I had to describe it, it would be a ripe peach with a wonderful aroma.

It carries a deadly allure.

This allowed a small amount of Kiyoshi's eye power to converge, bringing him closer and closer to the moment when his kaleidoscope eyes would open.

Crack!

It increased the amount of chakra, allowing the Lightning Release techniques within the body to operate more rapidly.

They surged through Qing Si's body, freely emitting their electric sparks within his muscles, bones, organs, and nerves.

At the same time, dark purple chakra was constantly repairing the damage.

The damaged parts will be repaired to be even stronger than before.

Each effect is small, but when accumulated, it can bring rapid growth to Qing Si!

In terms of physical defense and speed alone, probably no one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village can compare to Kiyoshi!

"Sorry, sorry."

Kurenai quickly apologized.

She didn't expect to hit someone.

"No...it's okay."

Mikoto shook her head, a slight blush rising to her cheeks.

But a thought arose in my mind.

Kiyoshi's muscles not only look big, but they are also very firm.

No wonder he can master ninjutsu like the "Eight Gates Formation".

"Is Hong going to help too?"

Mikoto felt a little awkward and stiffly changed the subject.

"of course."

Yuhi Hong nodded.

She had watched Kiyoshi and Mikoto perform the ritual together before, and she always had a vague sense of unease about it.

Although Kiyoshi and Mikoto are a generation apart in age, it's naturally difficult for anything to happen between them.

However, she remained uneasy, so she chose to take the initiative.

So the three of them busied themselves in the kitchen for a while and made a few bowls of buckwheat noodles.

Buckwheat noodles are also a tradition, and some even say that if you don't eat buckwheat noodles on New Year's Eve, you can't truly celebrate the New Year.

dong dong.

Just as the three of them were enjoying their meal, there was a noise outside.

"I'll open the door."

It was already dark outside, and Mikoto wondered who would come looking for him.

"Captain Fugaku, seize the opportunity and strike when the time is right!"

Uchiha Hachimoku tried to persuade him from outside.

He seemed to be expressing a sense of disappointment and frustration.

How could Captain Fugaku, such a wise and capable man, be so oblivious to these things?

"That's right, Captain Fugaku. We've finally got some free time lately, so we should take the initiative."

Uchiha Yakumi also offered advice.

Fugaku felt a little embarrassed as his two subordinates inquired about his love life.

There's nothing we can do about it; nobody's perfect, and he really doesn't know much about relationships.

Click.

The door opened.

Fugaku's Adam's apple bobbed as he mentally rehearsed his lines many times.

"Mikoto, you..."

Before Fugaku could finish his opening remarks, he saw the back of a man.

Does Mikoto have other men in her household?
Fugaku's pupils contracted.

who is it?

"Fugaku?"

Mikoto discovers that Fugaku has suddenly used his Sharingan.

"Lord Fugaku."

The man in the room slowly turned his head, revealing a handsome face with long black hair cascading down his back. His wildly styled hair resembled that of Madara Uchiha in his prime.

Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief.

It's Kiyoshi.

I thought someone had gotten there first.

"They came to spend the New Year with me."

Seeing the confusion on Fugaku's face, Mikoto explained.

"I see."

Fugaku nodded.

That's normal; Mikoto is their team leader, a Jonin.

At that moment, Kiyoshi also came over, standing very close to Mikoto.

"Lord Fugaku, would you like to come in and have a seat?"

Qingsi smiled slightly.

Fugaku frowned.

He felt inexplicably strange, as if Kiyoshi and Mikoto were the real couple, and he was just an outsider who had come to freeload. (End of Chapter)
