Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

"Your Highness, you should understand that demons cannot be destroyed."

Qingsi said calmly.

At the end of the movie, it seems that Naruto and Shion joined forces to defeat the demon, thus achieving a perfect ending.

In reality, Naruto didn't change anything. The existence of the demons and the generational inheritance of the priestess's sacrifice remained the same.

The demons have simply fallen into another period of silence. When the unconscious negative emotions of humans give birth to demons once again, the priestess will begin the cycle of reincarnation again.

Kiyoshi's method of eliminating only the souls of the demons, and using their physical bodies as weapons, will instead suppress the emergence of new demons.

In particular, Qing Si constantly modified the White Snake, using it as a transit point for refining the power of demons.

The white snake's life level is undergoing a transformation, shifting towards "zero tail" and "wraith".

One day, it might just become a spirit beast that controls negative emotions, replacing the position of the demon.

"As for my chakra, perhaps my ancestors also had a lineage of priestesses."

Qing Si casually remarked.

"..."

Maitreya fell silent.

She always felt that Kiyoshi was deceiving her, but she had no proof.

The chakra of a priestess can only be inherited by those who possess the bloodline of a priestess.

"Alright, Your Highness, transfer your chakra into my body. I need to conduct further research."

Kiyoshi reached out and patted Miroku's buttocks, causing the flesh to tremble slightly.

Maitreya's eyes widened instantly, his cheeks burning.

"Are you crazy? Da Ming is still in the next room!"

Maitreya almost lost his voice.

"Then Your Highness should cooperate with me even more."

Kiyoshi seized the shrine maiden's crown.

"Put your hair up in a bun."

Kiyoshi said calmly, his gaze sweeping over the shrine maiden's slightly disheveled hair.

Today is Thursday.

Thursday is a special day.

The fried chicken shops in Konoha sometimes serve some plain chicken without any seasoning, and it tastes quite good.

He hoped the priestess could give him some of her chakra.

Then Kiyoshi will give the shrine maiden some small gifts in return, such as some original recipe chicken.

Following the rustling sounds, a menacing shadow appeared in the room.

Those were spirit beasts kept by Qing Si.

puff.

The ninja sword in Miroku's hand fell to the ground.

Because that figure was even more terrifying than a ninja sword.

Maitreya instinctively stepped back, but accidentally fell to the ground.

"Be careful, Your Highness, my summoned beast will help you up."

Kiyoshi indicated to the priestess that she could capture his summoned beast.

The summoned beasts that Kiyoshi has trained well can help him with some simple tasks.

Helping someone up is the simplest thing in the world.

"what……"

Because things were so unexpected, the priestess's mind was a little slow to process it.

It wasn't until the intense heat of the "unicorn" brought her back to her senses.

……

"Cough cough..."

The daimyo of the Land of Demons coughed and covered his mouth with a handkerchief.

"This is the side effect of being possessed by a demon."

At this moment, another person appeared opposite the daimyo of the Land of Demons, gently waving a folding fan.

He is the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

"This is the price we pay for pursuing power."

The daimyo of the Land of Demons put down his handkerchief, which was stained with blood.

Coughing up blood was a daily occurrence for him.

"These things can be done by the ninjas."

The daimyo of the Land of Fire closed his folding fan.

He specially trained the "Twelve Guardian Ninjas," and these people were replaced one after another.

Each replacement brings a better ninja to protect his life.

"The Land of Demons is not a large country like the Land of Fire."

The daimyo of the Land of Demons shook his head.

If the Land of Demons were as vast and populous as this, he could easily select suitable personnel.

Do I still need to seek out power myself?

"Too."

It's no surprise that the daimyo of the Land of Fire is involved.

The Land of Demons was once a very remote and ancient country.

It was only after annexing a ring of nearby countries that its territory became so vast.

"Where is your priestess?"

"I was discussing with Uchiha Kiyoshi how to cure my illness."

The daimyo of the Demon Kingdom glanced at the wall, behind which lay Kiyoshi and the shrine maiden.

"Uchiha Kiyoshi."

The daimyo of the Land of Fire uttered the name aloud.

He had heard of him; he was said to be a representative of the new generation of geniuses in Konoha.

"I've come here to invite you and the priestess to go to the theater. The theaters in Konoha are run by a group of ninjas, and their dances are quite beautiful."

"it is good."

The daimyo of the Land of Fire nodded in response to the invitation from the daimyo of the Land of Demons.

Time passes bit by bit.

"Maitreya?"

After an unknown amount of time, the door was finally pushed open.

"Where is Qing Si?"

The daimyo of the Land of Demons was astonished.

Why did he only see Maitreya come out?

"He left first, using a space-time ninjutsu."

When Miroku saw the daimyo of the Land of Demons looking over, he subconsciously wiped the corner of his mouth.

"Yeah."

The daimyo of the Land of Demons didn't think much of it.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Maitreya had put his loose hair up in a bun.

Feeling uncomfortable with your hair down?
He was surprised.

"Your Highness, here are some pastries to help you cool off in the heat."

The daimyo of the Land of Fire's eyes lit up. This priestess truly lived up to her reputation; she was a rare beauty.

He pointed to the pastries on the table that the daimyo of the Land of Demons had brought.

"Thank you... um..."

A hint of unease crept across the shrine maiden's serene face, and she covered her mouth.

"Sorry, I'm not feeling well and I don't have an appetite."

After saying that, the shrine maiden ran towards the restroom.

The sound of gagging could be heard coming from inside.

No matter how hard I tried to vomit, nothing came out.

Because some foods are easily digestible, they are absorbed by the stomach within minutes of being swallowed.

"Perhaps it's because the mountain roads are rugged, and the environment is unsuitable."

The daimyo of the Land of Demons apologized to the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

He then picked up a piece of pastry to show that he didn't mind.

"Normal, normal."

The daimyo of the Land of Fire tapped his folding fan and gently shook it.

…………

in the afternoon.

Mitarashi Anko and Shizune went to the temple to pray for good fortune. After drawing a fortune slip, they returned to their residence.

This is Orochimaru's residence.

Jingyin often comes here when she has nothing to do, because there are many training materials inside.

When will Orochimaru-sensei finally be released?

Just as Mitarashi Anko returned, she discovered that Orochimaru had hurriedly brought a woman back with him.

This startled Mitarashi Anko. Could it be that she was going to have a master's wife?
Orochimaru didn't explain much, but instead told her to stay outside and guard the gate.

"Huh, Orochimaru's disciple?"

Danzo Shimura was wearing a black robe, with one hand hidden inside the robe on his chest.

Behind him followed a boy with hair reaching his chin, who wore a face mask and had round, bell-like eyes.

"Who are you?"

Mitarashi Anko frowned slightly as she looked at the person in front of her.

"Go tell Orochimaru that I am Danzo."

Danzo Shimura glanced coldly at Anko Mitarashi.

He was in a bad mood.

Orochimaru has been very dismissive of him lately, as if he's doing some research in private.

This indicates that Orochimaru is showing signs of slipping out of control, something Danzo Shimura would never tolerate.

He jumped ship without even helping Orochimaru become Hokage. What will happen when he becomes Hokage? Won't he kick him to the curb?
Poisonous snakes need to be tapped and shaken frequently.

"Orochimaru-sensei is busy with something."

Mitarashi Azuko frowned.

"A, you go and handle it."

Danzo Shimura looked at Yamato.

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

Clang!
Yamato drew his katana.

"Heh heh, why make things difficult for my disciple?"

Deep within the mansion, Orochimaru's voice echoed, carrying a hint of weakness and...femininity.

Danzo Shimura thought to himself, "What a madman!"

This guy has indeed modified himself again.

"Red Bean, let them in."

After receiving Orochimaru's order, Mitarashi Anko had no choice but to reluctantly give up her position.

Then he glared fiercely at Shimura Danzo, whose chin had a forked scar.

Shimura Danzo ignored Mitarashi Anko in front of him and led Yamato inside.

This building appears to have only one floor, but it actually has a lot more to it than meets the eye.

In a corner of the west, there is a passageway.

Next is a spacious laboratory.

Inside were various animal carcasses, as well as bottles and jars.

What did you do to yourself?

When Shimura Danzo entered, his pupils contracted slightly.

A woman was covered in bandages, but strangely, the bandages bore Orochimaru's face.

Below, Orochimaru's body lay, his face a bloody mess, revealing the scarlet tendons beneath.

"The Art of Erasing Faces?"

Shimura Danzodo.

The "Face-Changing Technique" allows the practitioner to tear off and use another person's entire face, thereby altering their own appearance to the point that it is almost impossible to detect as a disguise.

Is Orochimaru the blurry man lying on the ground, or the person in front of me with Orochimaru's face but a woman's body?
"Heh heh, Danzo, this is the secret to immortality I told you about."

Orochimaru gazed at his own body with rapture.

She could feel a surge of energy.

Unlike her previous body, which felt tired and heavy due to numerous hidden injuries, this body allowed her to experience the feeling of youth once again.

"You're just crazy."

Danzo Shimura's eyes widened.

Orochimaru actually dared to use himself as a test subject for such ninjutsu that manipulates the soul and body.

If the development process fails, the only outcome will be death.

"Who in this world isn't mad?"

Orochimaru's mouth suddenly opened, and a pair of fair hands reached out to pry open his upper and lower lips.

A new Orochimaru emerged from within, his tightly wrapped bandages replaced with casual clothes.

The woman's features were also concealed, making her look just like an ordinary person.

Orochi Style Substitution Technique!

"I just want to live longer, learn all the ninjutsu, and uncover all the truths."

Orochimaru glanced at Shimura Danzo.

If we're talking about madness, then Shimura Danzo's covetousness for power and his discrimination against the Uchiha clan's existence must have been even more outrageous.
"Hmph, fine, I hope this won't affect your strength."

"You don't need to worry about that. Although this is my first time using 'Reincarnation,' the vessel I'm using has been carefully selected."

Orochimaru chuckled. "To obtain a perfect vessel like Kiyoshi, one needs immense strength, and a transitional phase is inevitable."

She put a lot of effort into the vessel she was wearing.

"So, are you male or female now?"

Danzo Shimura's expression was strange.

If you have to choose to possess someone else's body, why not choose a male?
"Gender distinctions are meaningless to me now; I have cast aside those worldly constraints."

Orochimaru chuckled.

Danzo Shimura felt a chill run down his spine. In all his years of life, this was the first time he had ever seen such a grotesque creature.

If I had to put it that way, this is a ladyboy!
"Alright, I came to see you this time so that you can make a greater contribution in the upcoming battles."

"Shimura Danzo said in a deep voice."

Some time has passed since Kiyoshi captured the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.

They were able to return to Konoha and rest for a while.

"To become Hokage, I began to accumulate merits and fame..."

Orochimaru knew that Danzo Shimura only wanted to support him as a puppet.

However, Orochimaru was indeed tempted by the idea of ​​becoming Hokage.

It wasn't a right that Shimura Danzo desired, but rather the opportunity to obtain more research funding.

Experiments that were once blocked can now be legally brought to the forefront.

"Besides, the Sharingan reserves are running low. You should know what to do, right?"

Danzo Shimura looked at Orochimaru.

"of course."

Orochimaru nodded.

He believes that Kiyoshi Uchiha's genius is inseparable from his Uchiha clan bloodline.

Only by acquiring such a lineage can one go further.

He would have done it even without Shimura Danzo saying so.

"The Hokage selection will be held after the war ends. This time, there will probably be many candidates, so don't be too careless."

Danzo Shimura left these words behind and departed with Yamato, who was guarding the entrance to the passage.

"Is it because Kiyoshi is too dazzling that Danzo realized the Uchiha clan could also become Hokage, and started to feel the pressure?"

Orochimaru smiled and began to refine his chakra, getting used to the feeling of releasing ninjutsu in this body.

…………

That night.

Maitreya is sleeping.

She frowned and tossed and turned in bed.

The quilt was also unconsciously torn off by Maitreya and fell to the ground.

Her voluptuous, fleshy body was revealed inside.

The thin, flesh-colored robe draped over her body resembled a white, gauze-like feather garment, which clung even more tightly to her body after she became sweaty.

From a distance, it looks like it's wearing a semi-transparent veil.

Her prophetic abilities activated once again.

Maitreya saw a man with his back to her, his hands crackling with electricity, the light and shadow shifting, and the scarlet flame fan behind him looking even more terrifying in the moonlight.

She had a bad feeling and took a step back.

"Uchiha Kiyoshi?"

Maitreya opened his mouth.

Could it be that someone close to her is about to die?
who can that be?

Her "prophecy of death" could only foretell the death of those around her, presented as a dream from her perspective.

Maitreya began to look around.

This is not the land of demons.

Maitreya was certain.

Is it...Konoha?
Maitreya was astonished to find that the buildings here were similar to his current residence, with only minor alterations.

In other words, this "prophecy of death" will be very close.

She continued to scrutinize him.

Suddenly I felt a wet patch under my feet.

Her pupils contracted as she saw the Great Demon King of the Demon Kingdom staring intently at her, his voice barely audible.

Beside the daimyo of the Land of Demons, there was a ninja wearing bandages, emanating a burnt smell.

"Your Highness, I've come to save you."

The ninja with the Flame Fan Clan crest turned around; it was none other than Uchiha Kiyoshi.

A smile spread across his face as he put his arm around her waist.

Its eyes turned bloodshot, swirling with black and red patterns.

"do not want!"

Maitreya screamed and got up from the bed.

"Huh...huh..."

Maitreya looked around with lingering fear, his hands clenching the white silk robe tightly.

What happened to the Daimyo of the Land of Demons?
Who is that bandaged ninja?
Why did Kiyoshi say he was coming to save him?
No, I'm not here to save myself.

Maitreya took a deep breath.

Who saves people like that?
She had a feeling that this time it would definitely be related to Uchiha Kiyoshi as well.

How can we avoid this?

The holy witch frowned, feeling deeply helpless against the demon.

Until the sun rises in the sky and a new day begins.

After washing up, the shrine maiden went to begin her day's activities.

Shrine of the Witch.

After the shrine maiden moved in, it became her personal temple.

So much so that even its name became known by word of mouth as the Shrine of the Witches.

People flocked to visit her, seeking blessings and fortune-telling.

Not only ordinary people, but also some ninjas, officials, and wealthy merchants would come here to cleanse their souls.

"Kushina, aren't you going to the battlefield with Kiyoshi in a few days? Are you here to pray for good fortune too?"

Nohara Rin asked curiously.

Minato Namikaze was her teacher, and she also knew Kushina.

"It's Lin."

Kushina nodded and said:
"I actually wanted to have my marriage prospects checked."

After Kushina finished speaking, even the usually carefree Kushina felt a little embarrassed.

She wanted to know who she could eventually get back on track with.

"Oh, I see. It's your turn."

Rin Nohara was behind Kushina, reminding her.

"Oh well."

With a nervous heart, Kushina asked the beautiful shrine maiden in front of her.

"Well... let me take a look."

Miroku looked at the commentary in his hand but did not immediately interpret the fortune for Kushina.

She overheard Kushina and Rin Nohara talking.

These two women clearly knew Kiyoshi.

Maitreya looked up at the two of them and had an idea in his mind.

Uchiha Kiyoshi was hot-tempered, and the red-haired woman who came to draw a fortune stick was also an absolute beauty.

Miroku thought of attracting Kiyoshi's attention.

"This worshipper, what is your destined partner...?"

Miroku was raised as a priestess from a young age and had long since learned all sorts of rhetoric and the "hints" to guide others.

Indeed, fortune telling is actually a form of "psychological suggestion," which uses language, facial expressions, postures, and actions to influence the psychology and behavior of others, making them accept the opinions and viewpoints of the suggester, and ultimately carry out activities in accordance with the suggestion.

This process typically emphasizes "subtlety," "indirectness," and "guidance."

Otherwise, those ignorant villagers wouldn't all be convinced by the sealing technique alone.

Her superb speaking skills, coupled with her outstanding temperament, made her words extremely convincing.

So Miroku began to say a lot of vague and ambiguous things to test Kushina.

The naive Kushina was naturally no match for the experienced Miroku's probing, feeling as if Miroku, whom she was meeting for the first time, was a mind reader.

They know exactly what you're thinking!

As expected of the renowned priestess of the Land of Demons!
Seeing that Kushina was almost convinced, Miroku began to apply his methods more deeply, which involved labeling people to make them believe him even more.

"He is a powerful ninja who also possesses space-time ninjutsu."

"Really? What other characteristics are there?"

Kushina thought of someone.

"He is a celebrated genius."

"Makes sense."

Kushina nodded. This was Minato Namikaze.

She began to feel more confident.

"He can also use the power of immortals to bless himself."

"That's true."

Kushina nodded.

The power of immortals—doesn't that sound like "immortal mode"?

It's confirmed, it's Minato Namikaze!

His name is...

Seeing that the time was right, Maitreya began to put on a serious expression.

"The name is..."

Kushina's heart also jumped, and she was just about to say Minato Namikaze's name.

"Uchiha Kiyoshi!"

"Namikaze Mizu... huh?"

Kushina was stunned, completely frozen in place.

Isn't this a little different from what she expected?

"What's wrong, worshipper? Did I say something wrong?"

The priestess then adopted her priestess demeanor, speaking with an air of authority.

"I...I want to ask, what color hair does my true soulmate have?"

"Of course it's black."

Maitreya's Way.

"Black...?"

Kushina's eyes widened.

She suddenly realized that Kiyoshi actually matched the conditions listed there.

Space-time ninjutsu, genius, the power of a sage...

Why not Minato Namikaze?
While Kushina was lost in thought, the other worshippers waiting outside were already impatient.

"Hey, what's going on? Hurry up!"

"A bald ninja shouted."

"Yeah, hurry up!"

Yuuki Mizuki echoed, his hands hanging down a withered yellow, like a piece of dead wood.

He came here only to find out if his hand could ever be healed.

A dignified Jonin, his hands were rendered useless due to a mission to the Land of Demons several years ago.

These days, even taking on low-level ninja missions is difficult enough to support a family.

"Sorry, everyone."

Kushina politely came out to apologize.

As he left, he also apologized to Nohara Rin behind him. "I'm sorry, I took up a lot of time."

"Nothing."

Nohara Rin waved her hand dismissively.

The room is very soundproof, so people outside can't hear anything inside, which greatly protects the privacy of those seeking divination.

Of course, no one dared to cause trouble here.

Behind the shrine maiden, on the left and right sides of the room, stood rows of guards.

Anyone who dares to disrespect the priestess will be arrested on the spot.

It's likely that Hiruzen Sarutobi will handle this matter seriously, as it involves diplomatic matters between the two countries.

Rin Nohara guessed that Kushina was asking for something she really wanted to know, which was why it had taken so long.

She herself was the same.

She wanted to calculate her future with Kiyoshi.

"Okay, I'm going now, Lin, goodbye."

After saying goodbye to Rin, Kushina left the bustling shrine alone.

Her mind was in turmoil, and she kept thinking about this.

Her true love turned out to be Kiyoshi.

Kushina covered her head, somewhat regretting going to the temple to inquire about her marriage prospects.

In that case, what about Minato Namikaze?
……

A few days later.

Kiyoshi led Kushina to the battlefield in Kumogakure.

Kiyoshi, who possesses the "Flying Thunder God Technique," brought Kushina to the battlefield at an extremely fast speed.

However, upon arrival, Kiyoshi was personally received by Nara Shikaku, the camp's staff officer. (End of Chapter)
