Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Chapter 288 The Byakugan Nemesis "Red Eyes", Tsunade's Heavy Burden
"The latest scouts report that Uchiha Kiyoshi is also involved, and even has command of one of the units."

"Yeah."

The teak-faced woman held her head high, exuding a queenly aura.

In that case, she would have the opportunity to seek revenge on Uchiha Kiyoshi.

"Yuzuki, don't get too caught up in hatred."

The two-tailed cat inside the teak body was giving her a warning.

"This is between me and Uchiha Kiyoshi."

Teakman responded silently in his heart.

If it weren't for the two tails betraying her last time, how could she have lost to Kiyoshi so easily?

But in order to gain the power of the Tailed Beasts, she must let go of her past prejudices and emotions in order to resonate with them and borrow their chakra.

Even now, she is still not a perfect Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast.

"How is Killer Bee doing? Will the number of Hyuga clan ninjas continue to increase?"

Teakman asked another question.

This time, Yunyin traveled by sea, using ships for transportation.

Ninjas can walk on water, but to think that one could walk from the Land of Lightning's waters to the Land of Fire's waters on foot, a distance of tens of thousands of miles, is nothing short of a pipe dream.

After sailing at sea for several days, the constant consumption of chakra will eventually lead to chakra depletion, resulting in either drowning or death from exhaustion.

Therefore, even ninjas with extraordinary strength would still choose to travel by boat.

"What's the situation with Lord Killer Bee..."

The Cloud Village ninja in charge of this matter immediately reported it.

With ships, there will naturally be ports for replenishment.

This sea is not smooth as a mirror; it is dotted with many islands of varying sizes.

This time, they connected with an island along a sea route to resupply supplies.

These are all nestled in the white mist on the sea surface.

It's difficult for ordinary ninjas to detect, but it's not easy to fool the Hyuga clan's "Byakugan".

Under these circumstances, Yunyin also came up with a solution.

That is the bloodline limit "Red Eyes".

"I see."

The teak figure nodded.

A large number of troops gathered in the village.

If the Land of Fire can make a breakthrough and seize a piece of fertile land, it will be of immense benefit to the Hidden Cloud Village in the future.

……

The next day.

Kiyoshi was woken up.

He opened his eyes and saw Mikoto coming in to pack up the leftover lunchbox from last night.

"I'll take these back and wash them."

Mikoto tidied up all the lunchboxes and even wiped down Kiyoshi's simple table.

"Sister Mikoto will definitely be a wonderful wife and mother in the future."

Kiyoshi got out of bed.

Each ninja has his own tent, which contains some simple furniture.

"What are you talking about?"

Mikoto's lips curled slightly.

"Yes, it would be even better if she were my virtuous wife."

Kiyoshi stared intently at Mikoto.

The weather was still a bit chilly early in the morning, and Mikoto was shivering from the cold on the way.

But now, she felt her face getting hot.

"Alright, everyone's waiting for you."

Mikoto found a topic to talk about and then quickly went out.

When I left, I put down a new bento box. When I opened the lid, the aroma of food was rising from inside.

Next to the lid, there is a pair of chopsticks.

Qing Si picked it up and dealt with it in a few swift movements.

Actually, his body's need for food has decreased somewhat, and he can go without eating for several days.

However, there's no harm in eating it.

"Mikoto-sensei, you've come to see you so early, Kiyoshi."

After Kiyoshi finished eating and had only taken a few steps, Kurenai Yuhi suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Mikoto helped me pack my lunchbox."

"A bento box?"

Seeing that Kurenai looked puzzled, Kiyoshi explained that Mikoto had found him the night before and given him a lunchbox.

"Is there such a thing?"

Kurenai's expression changed.

Why didn't she think of this?

Now look what happened, Ms. Misaka beat us to it!
"Red, Kiyoshi is the commander now, so it's best not to bother him too much."

Sarutobi Asuma also came over from a distance, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

Now he has completely become a chain smoker, able to smoke in front of others with a nonchalant expression.

"Really? Kiyoshi."

Kurenai quickly asked Tsukasa.

"It's out of the way."

Qingsi shook his head.

"Did you hear that, Asma?"

With one hand on her hip, Yuhi Kurenai's clothes clung to her slender waist, making her look youthful and beautiful.

"Ahem, is that so?"

Sarutobi Asuma coughed twice tactically.

What he actually meant was that Kiyoshi was very busy and shouldn't be bothered.

But he's not busy, so you can bother him as much as you like.

Unfortunately, there's no opportunity to talk about these things now.

"If you need anything, you can give us orders."

Kakashi, holding a toothbrush, stared at Kiyoshi with dead fish eyes.

Now that Kiyoshi is his superior, it means Kakashi needs to obey Kiyoshi's orders.

Kakashi trusted Kiyoshi a lot, believing that if it was Kiyoshi's order, he would definitely be very thorough.

"What are you all doing gathered here? Go eat."

Seeing that Kiyoshi was surrounded by a group of people, Tsunade opened her lips and spoke.

"I've already eaten, Tsunade-sensei."

"Dry food?"

"It was Mikoto-nee who heated up my bento."

Kiyoshi said.

"You're pretty good, kid."

Tsunade patted Kiyoshi on the shoulder and then said:

"Then Kiyoshi, come with me first. The rest of you go have breakfast. We're going to gather intelligence today."

After Tsunade finished speaking, the people surrounding her had no choice but to disperse.

Before long, Tsunade led Kiyoshi to a tent.

There were already quite a few people inside the tent.

"Hello, I am Nara Shikashin, and I am Shikaku's cousin."

Nara Shika greeted Kiyoshi.

He had the traditional black pineapple-shaped haircut of the Nara clan, which looked somewhat strange.

"Ah."

Qingsi nodded slightly.

This time, he was one of the commanders, in charge of the reconnaissance unit.

The Yamanaka clan was responsible for transmitting intelligence, while the Nara clan was responsible for analyzing it.

"I am Hizashi, one of the people in charge of this operation."

Hyuga Hizashi Opening.

His twin brother, Hiashi Hyuga, was on the other side of the defense.

"Has the Hyuga clan gathered any intelligence?"

Qingsi asked.

"I'm sorry, not at the moment."

Hyuga Hizashi looked ashamed upon hearing this.

Despite possessing the strongest bloodline limit for detection, they still couldn't figure out which islands the Hidden Cloud Village had established bases on!

Even when they tried to pursue them, a fog would obscure their path.

This is not like the "Hidden Mist Technique" of the Hidden Mist, but something even more elusive.

Therefore, the battle here was very intense, and Konoha was in a passive defensive posture.

Every now and then, the Cloud Village would send elite troops to launch attacks, and then quickly leave afterward.

Konoha was exhausted and suffered heavy casualties.

"Daily variation, it's alright."

Kiyoshi remained calm and patted him on the shoulder.

He already had a pretty good idea of ​​the reason behind this.

In the ninja world, the Byakugan possesses the combined abilities of "X-ray vision" and "farsightedness," making it a game-changer for other ninjas when it comes to intelligence gathering.

Therefore, in order to avoid being spied on by outsiders, the Hyuga clan, which is only proficient in "Gentle Fist," was forced to create something like the "Caged Bird Seal."

Of course, this changed its meaning later on.

Or rather, any policy is initially intended to be good, but whether it can continue to be good in the future is something only the Sage of Six Paths, who has been observing the ninja world, knows.

"it is good."

Hyuga Hizashi said it almost as if possessed.

His white eyes suddenly narrowed.

Kiyoshi was much younger than him; he was just a junior.

Even if he is the current commander, I shouldn't be so respectful to him.

Hyuga Hizashi was completely puzzled.

Qing Si's words just now seemed to contain a hidden power that made people unconsciously believe him.

Seeing Hyuga Hizashi shake his head, Kiyoshi smiled slightly.

He didn't use any illusion.

Previously, the effects were from entries such as "The Art of Speaking (White)" and "The Weaver of Words (Green)".

After Mikoto left last night, he acquired a new entry.

【Eloquent Tongue (Blue)】 The effect is to increase Kiyoshi's persuasiveness by 40% on the original basis. The lower the status of the person is, the more they will be affected, even exceeding 40%.

The requirement is simple: fabricate lies and deceive others to the greatest extent possible, until a certain amount is reached.

Kiyoshi had already done a lot in this regard.

After all, he was also considered a spy for Kumogakure, constantly leaking information about Konoha.

He just didn't officially join the Hidden Cloud Village.

This special identity was something that Kiyoshi had actually been described with similar entries a long time ago.

"what happened?"

Tsunade glanced at Hyuga Hizashi and Kiyoshi with a strange look, wondering if the two knew each other.

"It's nothing, Tsunade-sensei."

Kiyoshi withdrew his gaze from Hyuga Hizashi and turned it to Tsunade.

"Tsunade-sensei, the reason why the Byakugan hasn't progressed is likely due to the presence of 'Red Eyes'."

"Red...eyes?"

Tsunade chewed on this unfamiliar word.

"Yes, that's it."

Qingsi nodded.

His remarks left the people in the tent looking at each other in bewilderment.

This is a bloodline limit that only appears in anime.

Kiyoshi glanced at the others and noticed that they all looked confused.

Nara Shikamatsu had never heard of this bloodline limit either.

People of their clan have a high average IQ, so they are often positioned as strategists or cunning individuals, no matter where they are.

But he was unfamiliar with what Kiyoshi was saying.

"What is this? I've never heard of it before."

Akimichi Tōji said.

"Eh, if it's red eyes, shouldn't it be the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan?"

Yamanaka Izumi nudged Akimichido with her elbow. "Who knows? The eyes of the Yuhi clan are red too, aren't they? Even the Second Hokage of the Senju clan, Tobirama Senju, had red eyes."

"It seems there was something called 'Blood Dragon Eye' in the history of the Land of Lightning. This is red. Is this what Kiyoshi is talking about?"

The ninjas inside the tent took turns discussing and sharing their opinions.

Not long after, Kurenai Yuhi, Kakashi, and the others, who had finished breakfast, also came in.

This tent is a main tent and can easily accommodate hundreds of people.

"What is Kiyoshi saying?"

Kakashi saw that Nohara Rin was also there, so he went up to her and asked.

Upon hearing this, Nohara Rin turned around and glanced at Kakashi.

Her voice was calm, without any discernible emotion, as she said:
"They seem to be discussing something called 'red-eye.'"

"what is this?"

Kakashi had never heard of it either.

"do not know."

Nohara Rin gently shook her head, turned her head back, and looked at Kiyoshi sitting at the very front.

"Lin..."

Kakashi was about to ask something when he saw Nohara Rin staring intently at Kiyoshi.

He suddenly lost interest in asking any further questions.

Some things, once missed, are missed forever.

Kakashi felt a faint bitterness in his heart.

People often don't feel anything when they have something, and may even feel disgusted by it.

Only when you lose something completely will you suddenly realize its value and feel immense regret.

"Please be quiet, everyone."

Kiyoshi's magnetic voice rang out.

The noisy main tent immediately fell silent.

Kiyoshi's voice, imbued with chakra, resonated loudly throughout the tent.

The ninjas here are all looking at Kiyoshi.

Among them were ninjas who had met Kiyoshi before, and those who had never met him but had only heard of his reputation.

Regardless of the circumstances, Kiyoshi's many deeds demonstrate that he was not a simple ninja.

Looking at the now quiet tent, Kiyoshi's lips curled into a smile.

Power is the best passport, no matter where you are.

The stronger you are, the more others will have to listen to your opinions.

"The Byakugan is not invincible. In the ninja world, there is another extremely rare bloodline limit called the 'Red Eye.' You may be unfamiliar with it, but its ability is to use chakra to create illusions to interfere with the Byakugan."

Qingsi said calmly.

In fact, that's not all. "Red Eyes" also have many "White Eyes" abilities, such as seeing through objects, sensing power, and detecting danger.

The only drawback is its low ceiling.

After the "Byakugan," there are several different ways to synthesize the "Tenseigan," which is powerful enough to split the moon in two with a single blow.

"Red-eye" means there is nothing at all; this is the highest level of performance.

"What? Wouldn't that make him the bane of eye-rolling?"

There was an uproar inside the tent; no one had expected such a bloodline limit to exist.

The ninja world is vast, naturally harboring all sorts of bloodline limits, including beings like the Demon King and the Zero-Tails.

Although the red-eyed ability was amazing, the others quickly accepted it.

Who can blame them when bloodline limits are essentially mutations?
Who knows what strange abilities might mutate into it?

"Don't be nervous, everyone. It depends on the caster's chakra, and such genjutsu is nothing to the Uchiha."

Qingsi said calmly.

In the original story, "Red Eyes" was taken in by Raiga, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and its owner was a boy named Ranmaru.

It's not yet time for Ranmaru to be born. If there is one, it should be a member of Ranmaru's clan.

Coincidentally, he could also study this strange bloodline limit.

Who knows, we might get some new entries.

Seeing Kiyoshi speaking so eloquently, Tsunade couldn't help but nod.

Not only is Kiyoshi a genius in ninjutsu, but he also has a talent for motivating people and managing others.

Even if someone like that isn't a ninja, they can still make a name for themselves in this world.

"Tsunade-sensei, let's discuss some more details. How many Jonin, Chunin, and Genin do we have now?"

Kiyoshi presented further details to Tsunade.

Tsunade responded to each of them.

They then began to finalize the details of the incident.

Kiyoshi, who possesses the ability to fly, was tasked with conducting reconnaissance from high altitudes.

Tsunade herself will accompany Kiyoshi, summoning a live slug to continuously supply Kiyoshi with chakra, ensuring their continued operation.

On the sea, the Hyuga clan members were conducting exploration.

This is the basic framework of the team. By assigning suitable members to it, an exploration team is basically formed.

The meeting lasted a full hour before all the details were finalized.

"Remember, don't push yourself if your chakra is running low."

Tsunade looked at Kiyoshi intently.

She feared that Qing Si was ambitious and eager for quick success, and that he would insist on flying in the sky even though he was clearly not going to be able to hold on any longer.

If the distance is high enough, even if the seawater is below, it will still crush you to death.

"Don't worry, Tsunade-sensei."

Qingsi spoke.

"Kiyoshi, are we really okay being in the same team as you?"

Kurenai ran up from behind, placing her hands on her abdomen.

"Red, you are a genjutsu-type ninja, which will be of great help to this operation."

Kiyoshi nodded, then looked at Sarutobi Asuma and said:

"Asma, you are not required to participate in this operation. You can withdraw."

"Am I, Asma, the kind of coward who clings to life and fears death?"

Following behind Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi immediately patted his chest, indicating that he wouldn't even blink an eye if he were to carry out such a dangerous mission.

What Kiyoshi can do, Sarutobi Asuma can do as well.

"it is good."

Qing Si nodded and then instructed everyone to prepare for the march, and the mission would begin that afternoon.

Twenty minutes later.

The group regrouped on the spot, and members of the Hyuga clan also arrived one after another.

"Seiji."

A girl with short, dark green hair walked from a distance. She was wearing the white battle robes of the Hyuga clan and carrying a military pack on her back.

"What about the daily rate?"

"Lord Hizashi is still behind, he'll be right there."

Hinata Xia spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, another person followed behind them, none other than Hyuga Tetsuya and Hyuga Hinata.

"Lord Seiji."

Hyuga Himondo.

The commander of this reconnaissance unit under Qing Si could be addressed as "Sir" without any exaggeration.

"Seiji...sir."

Hyuga Tetsuya's expression was somewhat strange, and his body was trembling. In the end, he reluctantly called out the word "Master".

Finally, Hyuga Hizashi arrived the latest.

Compared to his older brother, Hiashi Hyuga, his expression always carried a hint of gloom.

"Alright, everyone's here now."

Tsunade tightened the armor on the back of her hand and swept her gaze over the crowd with a rather authoritative look.

She changed out of her green coat and put on her ninja armor again, looking incredibly heroic.

Beyond the armor, her voluptuous body stretched the fabric, making her appear quite full.

"start to act."

Tsunade gave the order.

The group quickly headed out of the base and towards the vast, boundless sea.

Snapped……

The ninja shoes made a splashing sound on the water's surface as the group began to refine their chakra and concentrate it under their feet to generate buoyancy, allowing them to walk on the water as if on flat ground.

Soon, a row of figures appeared on the water, systematically investigating the situation.

Flying is also a way for Kiyoshi to consume a lot of chakra, so he had to walk a distance at first.

However, given a ninja's speed, walking dozens of kilometers on water wouldn't be a problem.

They could afford to deplete their chakra.

The weakest among them is Hyuga Natsu, but she also possesses the Byakugan bloodline limit. After rigorous training in the "Gentle Fist" technique, her chakra is far superior to that of ordinary ninjas.

One hour... two hours...

Several hours passed, and apart from the occasional waves on the sea and the white mist above, there was nothing.

"Kiyoshi, take me up there."

Tsunade frowned slightly and said seriously.

They needed to conserve their energy for the return journey; if they couldn't find anything else, they would have to go back.

"it is good."

Kiyoshi nodded, squatted down, and let Tsunade go up by herself.

Tsunade walked behind Kiyoshi and pressed down, instantly deforming the round human heart.

Kiyoshi could clearly feel the two core processors on his back radiating a warm residual heat.

"Cough cough..."

Tsunade was clearly aware of the situation, and felt a certain amount of shame as a woman. She looked at the others and said:

"Kurenai, Asuma, stay where you are and eat soldier pills to recover your chakra. Hishiya, you take the men and use your Byakugan to observe the surroundings. Don't stray too far from Asuma and the others."

After giving her instructions, Tsunade patted Kiyoshi's back with her delicate white hand.

Kiyoshi understood and used both hands to support Tsunade's buttocks, quickly converting his chakra into magnetic force.

Ripples spread across the sea, and droplets of water floated up from the surface, swirling around Qing Si.

The others watched this scene in amazement, knowing that this was Kiyoshi using his flying ninjutsu.

The next moment, Kiyoshi soared into the sky, carrying Tsunade on his back and quickly reaching the clouds.

This wasn't the first time Tsunade had been carried into the sky by Kiyoshi. Back when the Third Raikage was held back by 10,000 Iwagakure ninja, the two of them used flight to avoid the Iwagakure ninja.

Looking at the white clouds and the slightly curved sea below, Tsunade felt a sense of freedom.

The human desire to fly is instinctive.

"Isn't it beautiful, Tsunade-sensei?"

Kiyoshi turned his head slightly and could feel Tsunade nervously wrapping her arms around his neck and clamping her legs around his waist to prevent him from falling.

Tsunade has no ability to fly, so if she falls, she will definitely be seriously injured.

"Hmph, brat, don't let this interfere with important business."

Tsunade stared at Kiyoshi's handsome profile amidst the sea of ​​clouds, momentarily stunned.

This kid is becoming more and more manly.

Tsunade thought to herself.

"No problem, Tsunade-sensei."

Kiyoshi smiled slightly, controlled the magnetic force to levitate, and quickly flew in one direction.

woohoo hoo...

The howling wind kept brushing past her, and Tsunade's golden hair swayed in the wind.

Ignoring the hair that occasionally obscured her eyes, she tightly hugged Qing Si's neck with both hands, as if afraid of falling.

Its weighty, substantial weight only deepens with time.

"Go over there and have a look."

Tsunade narrowed her eyes and pointed in a certain direction.

Kiyoshi nodded and left with Tsunade.

……

The land of rain.

After a ripple in space spun around, Obito, wearing a mask, emerged from it.

"You've come again, Madara."

Nagato watched Obito quietly.

During this period, he kept coming to see me.

After a series of events, Nagato finally realized that he was special because he possessed the "Rinnegan".

When Jiraiya, who was far away in the Land of Fire, learned that he was still alive, he immediately wrote a letter.

"Akatsuki must be facing a lot of difficulties right now. Although Hanzo is dead, Amegakure is like a centipede that doesn't die easily. It will take you some time to take him down, and you'll also be facing another problem."

Obito stared at Nagato with his scarlet single eye.
