Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Chapter 301 The Third Power of Susanoo (Happy Dragon Boat Festival)
"Lu Duan, go and pour two cups of tea."

Nara Shikaku said.

"Yes."

Nara Shika glanced curiously at the red-haired woman behind Kiyoshi, then turned to pour two cups of tea.

"No need to be so polite."

Kiyoshi waved his hand, but did not drink the tea.

Is there anything urgent?

Qingsi raised his eyebrows.

Could it be that the Hidden Cloud Village has launched another surprise attack?

"No, it was Iwagakure that sent a request for support."

Nara Shikaku explained to Kiyoshi.

Now that Iwagakure and Konoha have signed a peace treaty, there is no need for the two countries to continue their tense standoff.

In order to better recover from the losses caused by the war, they all chose to enter a honeymoon period, frequently trading and exchanging goods.

"Roshi, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure, has defected."

As Nara Shikaku spoke, the two scars on his right cheek twitched.

"Kiyoshi, with your abilities, you are the most suitable person to handle this situation. If you can bring Rōshi back, Iwagakure will send reinforcements to Konoha."

Nara Shikaku took out a map and drew out the route that Kiyoshi took from where Old Purple started his defection.

Are there other countries like me?

Kushina asked, puzzled.

She had never met a ninja who was a Jinchūriki like herself.

"Yes, the tailed beast is also sealed inside its body."

Nara Shikaku glanced at Kushina.

Since the higher-ups have decided to use Kushina, her secret as the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki will be exposed.

He, as a strategist in Konoha, only recently learned of this.

This gives you an idea of ​​how well Kushina was protected within the village.

Furthermore, past wars have never reached the point where Konoha would need to utilize the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Kiyoshi, your teammates have been assigned here, it's..."

"No need."

Kiyoshi raised his hand.

"They're all here, right? I prefer to be teammates with people I'm familiar with."

"They're all here."

Nara Shikaku spoke.

"However, it's best to bring Might Guy along; his physical skills are very strong."

Nara Shikaku said solemnly.

As Might Guy gradually revealed his true abilities, the other ninjas realized just how deeply he had been hiding his abilities for the past twenty years.

Therefore, he was promoted to Jonin in a short period of time.

"it is good."

Qingsi nodded.

He is still a little short of mastering the "Eight Gates Formation," but now he is able to open the sixth gate, "Jing."

The seventh "surprise" gate is still a bit short.

Now that my pupil power has been greatly enhanced, I estimate that after one more look, I will be able to master the seventh "Surprise" gate.

Kiyoshi then asked Nara Shikaku some detailed questions.

Kushina, meanwhile, was secretly watching Kiyoshi.

She was still thinking about the shrine maiden saying that Kiyoshi was her destined soulmate.

The so-called "perfect match" refers to people who are destined to be together.

In other words, Kiyoshi is very likely to be her husband in the future.

"Stop, stop, stop! We can't be superstitious!"

Kushina shook her head repeatedly.

This idea, however, took root and was buried deep in Kushina's heart.

She began to feel a strong sense of guilt.

How can this be worthy of the Watergate?
How about we go back in a while and ask Minato about his marriage prospects?

While Kushina was lost in her own chaotic thoughts, Kiyoshi and Shikaku Nara finalized the details.

"You're out, Kushina."

Kiyoshi lifted a corner of the tent flap and spoke to Kushina.

Nara Shikaku has already gone out to call for help.

"coming."

Kushina nodded and followed them out, but her expression was somewhat strange.

Before long, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi, and Might Guy ran over.

"Seiji!"

As soon as Kurenai saw Kiyoshi, she waved excitedly.

She hadn't seen Kiyoshi for a long time and missed him terribly.

"Hong, how's your illusion magic coming along?"

Qingsi asked.

Kurenai Yuhi's strength in the original work was too weak; she could be considered one of the weakest Jonin.

Therefore, Kiyoshi gave Kurenai some illusion techniques and guidance.

Kiyoshi is never stingy when it comes to the women he sets his sights on.

After being influenced by him, these people will also be used by Kiyoshi, and the stronger they are, the better.

"Learned."

Kurenai nodded her little head seriously.

"I will help you improve your strength in a while."

Kiyoshi gently patted Kurenai's head.

If a cursed seal were placed on Kurenai Yuhi, her strength would likely see a significant boost.

He is at least an elite Jonin, and "Sage Chakra" also greatly enhances his genjutsu.

"It's all messed up."

With her little face flushed, Yuhi Kurenai spoke softly.

Even so, Kurenai Yuhi did not make any attempt to stop her.

Instead, she moved closer, making it easier for Kiyoshi to knead.

"..."

Sarutobi Asuma could only watch from the sidelines.

By now, he has become desensitized to these things.

To achieve great things, one must not be bothered by trifles.

Winning the heart of a beauty requires a great deal of forbearance.

Sarutobi Asuma knew that he was currently at his lowest point.

As far as he knew, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire had already gone to Konoha to seek refuge.

When it's his turn to rest in the back, he'll definitely go and find out how to join the "Twelve Guardian Ninja".

When I've achieved great success, I'll come back in glory to find Hong!
Kiyoshi glanced at Sarutobi Asuma and, judging from his silly grin, guessed that Sarutobi Asuma had the same plan as in the original story.

Now it’s fantasy time.

When Sarutobi Asuma returned after being away for several years, he had no idea what kind of state Kurenai had been in.

"Is it time to ignite our youth again?!"

Matt Day said with a look of excitement.

Even after becoming a Jonin, Might Guy didn't give up his green bodysuit and maintained a unique art style.

"Let's go."

Kiyoshi glanced at the others.

This time, he was the Jonin leading the team.

Although Sarutobi Asuma and Kurenai have now reached Jonin level, they are still Chunin.

Might Guy has just been promoted to Jonin, but his theoretical knowledge is still insufficient.

As for Kushina, her experience in this area is similar to that of a genin.

"Yes!"

Several people spoke up.

As ninjas, they must obey orders and distinguish between public and private matters.

Now that Kiyoshi is the captain, they have to obey Kiyoshi's orders.

……

At the border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire.

"Lord Zi, are we really going to leave the village?"

One of the Iwa ninjas looked somewhat hesitant.

They were both ninjas from the Land of Earth, but Rōshi, due to his personality clashes with the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, resolutely decided to leave the village.

During such a special period as war, the Iwagakure leadership directly labeled Rōshi as a rogue ninja.

"I won't force you. If you want to turn back now, it's not too late."

Old Purple glanced back at the Iwagakure ninjas who were following him.

These were all his subordinates, including many of his disciples.

"Have you all forgotten how Lord Zi took care of us?"

A ninja from Iwagakure noticed the hesitation of the others and stepped forward to reassure them.

Upon hearing this, everyone realized that they had received kindness from Lao Zi, otherwise they would not have followed him in his defection.

"Lord Zi, now that we have decided to follow you, we are fully prepared."

"Me too."

"Yes."

The Iwagakure ninja responded continuously.

"it is good."

Old Zi nodded, moved.

"Wait a minute."

As he was preparing to lead the others across the border, he suddenly sensed the approach of chakra.

Those chakras were very unfamiliar; they were not from people he had seen before.

Who is it?
Old Zi was puzzled.

"Everyone be careful, there's an enemy attack."

The experienced Old Purple wouldn't think this was a coincidence, so he took out a kunai and looked ahead warily.

In addition, he also sensed two unfamiliar and enormous chakra.

One of the red chakra emanated an unconscious wave that was even stronger than the Four-Tails within him.

The other black chakra was much less, but it had an ominous feel to it.

He suddenly felt uneasy.

If the ninjas weren't from within the village, it means the attack was likely carried out by ninjas from outside the village.

It is also possible that the Third Tsuchikage dispatched people from other ninja villages.

Old Purple knew Onoki very well; that old guy was just that kind of person.

They even had connections with some mercenaries and tried to hire the Akatsuki, the newly established ruling power in the Land of Rain, to help disperse enemy ninjas.

It was precisely because of the differences in their personalities that he decided to leave.

"The enemy is coming!"

Suddenly, a sensory-type Earth Release ninja shouted, forming hand seals, and the soil on the ground immediately turned dark, like mud.

Wow…

The soil flows as if it were liquid.

Earth Release: Earth Flow River!

"Konoha's powerful whirlwind!"

Matt Dae immediately stomped on the ground, instantly sending the ever-expanding mud flying.

"Well done, Dai."

Qingsi said calmly.

He realized what was happening immediately, but didn't intervene. If he had to do everything himself, wouldn't he become a mere janitor?
These grunts can be left to others to deal with.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Old Zi frowned as he looked at Qing Si, who had a handsome face and a tall stature.

From the ninja headband on Kiyoshi's forehead and the flame fans on his shoulders, he deduced that Kiyoshi was a ninja from the Uchiha clan of Konoha.

"I've been entrusted by Iwagakure to capture you and bring you back."

"Then we'll see if you have the ability. Make your move!"

Old Zi clapped his hands, and his red hair and beard began to turn a different color. His whole body became hot, radiating yellow flames.

He turned into a human torch!
"Lava Release Chakra Mode?"

Qing Si remained calm.

Rōshi is borrowing the power of the Four-Tailed Son Goku within him.

This body is wrapped in high-temperature lava, which is extremely effective when combined with physical techniques; most things it comes into contact with will melt.

If an ordinary ninja were to fight Rōshi, their limbs would probably be melted in an instant.

The "Lava" Release Armor possesses both offensive and defensive capabilities. In this mode, even Naruto's "Rasengan" could not be easily broken, and it even burned Naruto's skin in his golden form.

It can be said that he is a rather formidable opponent.

Earth Release: Earth Stone Dragon!

One of the Iwagakure Jonin slammed his hands on the ground.

He extracted all the Earth Release chakra within his body, drawing upon the earth and rocks on the ground to form a giant, grayish-brown dragon that crawled out from the earth.

"Flying Swallow!"

Sarutobi Asuma seized the opportunity, extending blue beams from the chakra blades he held in both hands, slicing the charging earth dragon to the ground.

"Earth Escape..."

While other Earth Release ninjas were still trying to decipher the hand seals, Kurenai Yuhi preemptively unleashed a genjutsu.

Kurenai Yuhi was surrounded by blinding lightning, so bright that the Iwagakure ninja could hardly open their eyes!
Lightning Release: Lightning Illusion Lightning Pillar!
This is a ninjutsu that Kiyoshi obtained from Kumogakure and ultimately taught to Kurenai Yuhi.

Kiyoshi made some modifications to this ninjutsu, making it different from the original "Lightning Release: Lightning Illusion Lightning Pillar".

Those lightning bolts were not just illusions, but could also conceal subsequent physical lightning attacks!
Snapped!
Some Iwagakure ninjas were caught off guard and were instantly charred into corpses by the hidden arcs of electricity beneath the lightning.

"Be careful, everyone!"

The bald Iwagakure ninja shouted.

All the Iwagakure ninja scattered, watching Kiyoshi and the others warily, ready to form hand seals at any moment.

"Hmph, you actually killed two of my companions. Now you can all stay here!"

The chakra covering Rōshi's body erupted with a terrifying aura.

Being a Jinchuriki not only grants a boost to chakra reserves, but also provides additional benefits from the Tailed Beast's area of ​​expertise.

By constantly controlling this power, Rōshi learned to fuse the chakra properties of "earth" and "fire," thus enabling him to use the "Lava" Release.

Naruto, for example, once had a portion of the chakra of all the tailed beasts gathered in his body, and he even used the chakra attributes of the tailed beasts to create all sorts of "Rasenshuriken".

In Boruto, Naruto lost Six Paths Sage Mode, but he can still use the Lava Release ninjutsu.

"drink!"

Old Purple created a deep pit under his feet and rushed towards Kiyoshi.

Kiyoshi dodged the attack with a light touch.

The "Molten" Release is even hotter than the "Fire" Release because it is a bloodline limit created by adding the attribute of "Earth" to the "Fire" Release.

Therefore, compared to a simple "fire" style, it also has the ability to permanently materialize, unlike flames which will be completely depleted once the chakra is exhausted.

Moreover, the temperature of molten lava can be much higher than that of ordinary flames.

"Failed?"

Old Zi's heart sank.

Can Kiyoshi react to his sneak attack?

Boom boom boom!
Old Zi kept throwing punches, each one leaving a burnt smell in the air.

These flames, carrying terrifying temperatures, scorched the air.

Any trees or rocks that come into contact with this heat will melt instantly.

Flames shot out, and the ground cracked.

To Lao Zi's surprise, Kiyoshi was able to withstand his fist with his hands and avoid being burned.

Then, a purplish-black flame erupted around Kiyoshi.

The fiery shadow swirled and coiled around him, gradually forming a black snake-like shadow.

Wraith Chakra Mode!
The two, one in yellow and one in black, could unleash scorching waves of energy every time they clashed.

"Something's not right. He's not afraid of my high temperature, and his power feels sealed."

Old Zi frowned, noticing that the center of the purplish-black flames swirling around Qing Si had a hint of pink.

The pink flame was suppressing the power of the tailed beast within him.

Although the amount was small, it was indeed effective.

"Red, you guys deal with the others."

Kiyoshi fought with Nozomi with ease, and didn't forget to give Kurenai and the others some instructions.

The combination of the "demon-slaying" attribute within the Mouryou chakra and his own chakra allows Kiyoshi to exert a certain degree of suppression over tailed beasts in this state.

As for the heat from Rōshi, Kiyoshi's resistance to "fire" jutsu had already elevated his heat absorption ability to a terrifying level.

Kiyoshi was not afraid of the old purple's temperature.

"Kiyoshi, where am I? Where am I!"

Kushina exclaimed excitedly from behind.

"Kushina, you go help Kurenai too."

"You dare to be distracted when fighting me?"

Old Zi said angrily.

He wasn't exactly good-tempered, and seeing Kiyoshi looking down on him like that, he immediately spat out several lava fireballs to attack his opponent, with astonishing power.

"Seiji!"

Out of concern, Kushina emitted red chakra, and a layer of "Tailed Beast Cloak" with flowing bubbles was draped over her body.

This made her eyeshadow appear darker and caused three horizontal lines to appear on her cheeks.

A red chakra tail stretched out, transforming into the shape of a hand, and grabbed the lava fireballs.

Nourishing~
Unfortunately, under the intense heat, those lava fireballs quickly passed through the chakra hand and headed towards Kiyoshi.

The temperature is too high!
Kushina's heart skipped a beat.

She was not yet proficient in using the Nine-Tails' power and dared not use too much at once, fearing that the Nine-Tails would escape her control.

However, there is simply not enough time to increase the use of the Nine-Tails' chakra right now.

Bang!
A phantom black chakra bone hand appeared behind Kiyoshi, grabbing the lava fireballs and throwing them away.

"Watch out for Lord Roshi's ninjutsu!"

Kiyoshi threw it in the direction where the Iwagakure ninja were.

They hurriedly and haphazardly tried to avoid the attack, fearing that if they were too slow, they would be hit.

"what is this?"

Old Zi vaguely felt that Qing Si's skeletal giant hand was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Unfortunately, the giant skeletal hand vanished in a flash, leaving Old Zi unable to see it clearly.

"You all stay away."

Qingsi spoke.

At the same time, the entry panel reacted.

"You have mastered the entry: [Third Force (White)]".

[Entry: The Third Force (White)]

[Requirement achieved: First use of the power of "Susanoo".]

【Progress: (Completed).】

[Effect: You have gained a completely new understanding of chakra nature transformation, and the cohesion of your chakra has increased by 10%.]

[Advanced Path 1: Mastering the second stage of "Susanoo" will unlock the advanced green attribute.]

[Advanced Path Two: Mastering the third stage of "Susanoo" will unlock the advanced blue attribute.]

[Advanced Path 3: Mastering the fourth stage of "Susanoo" will unlock an advanced purple attribute.]

[Advanced Path 4: Mastering the complete form of "Susanoo" will grant you an advanced gold-tier attribute.]

"Should we take it one step at a time?"

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

Meeting that requirement is easy.

Susanoo can actually be roughly divided into five forms.

The form that Kiyoshi just used can be considered the initial form, which only involves the transformation of the arms and ribs.

The first stage later allows the chakra to completely cover the body, giving it a skeletal appearance, and even allowing the user to wield weapons made of chakra.

In the second stage, the skeletal Susanoo can begin to grow veins and flesh, wrapped in a chakra-like outer garment. It can stack "Sage Techniques" or "Cursed Seals" and use its own exclusive weapons and ninjutsu, such as "Yata Mirror" and "Totsuka Blade".

The third stage involves donning the Tengu Armor, which greatly enhances defensive capabilities, but also significantly increases chakra consumption.

The fourth stage is the same, except that the lower body and legs grow on the basis of the second stage, and the "Susanoo" becomes taller and can move freely, with a high degree of mobility.

Of course, the "Complete Susanoo" that follows is called the "True Susanoo," which can only be activated by someone who has brought the power of the "Mangekyou Sharingan" to its limit and possesses a huge amount of chakra.

At this time, Susanoo's size becomes abnormally large, its chakra becomes stable, and its power can not only easily split mountains and meteorites, but also has the ability to fly. At the same time, it can control the "Perfect Susanoo" to perform the techniques that the user is good at.

The more one trains their eye power, the stronger it becomes. However, ordinary "Mangekyou Sharingan" will not be able to withstand this eye power as it grows stronger, and will suffer a backlash. Therefore, it is necessary to transplant the eyes of a blood relative or "Hashirama cells" with enormous vitality.

Otherwise, it will be like being gradually sealed away, eventually leading to blindness.

After activating the "Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan," the curse will be broken, the seal will be released, and the eye power will be increased to the limit that the eye can contain.

With various enhancements, Kiyoshi estimated that he would be able to try to activate the "Complete Susanoo" after adapting for a few months at most.

After all, his eyes are now no different from those of a regular "Eternal Kaleidoscope".

"The cohesion of chakra has indeed increased somewhat."

Kiyoshi looked back at the black snake shadow swirling behind him. The semi-transparent, illusory figure became more solidified, revealing more details.

"Still no effect..."

Old Zi's face was gloomy.

The chakra emanating from his body coalesced into the head of a gorilla, opening its massive maw of fangs, and began to condense the "Tailed Beast Ball".

"Turn to dust with this blow!"

Old Zi shouted.

All the newly extracted tailed beast chakra was poured into the currently gathered "tailed beast ball," and a huge black sphere appeared here.

"It's a Tailed Beast Ball! Everyone run!"

The Iwagakure ninjas, who were entangled with Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi, Might Guy, and others, hurriedly began to retreat.

A single "Tailed Beast Ball" can destroy a mountain.

What kind of astonishing level of destruction can the "Tailed Beast Ball" cause after accumulating chakra?

"Hong, be careful."

Kushina also had a solemn expression, and more chakra appeared on her body, attempting to envelop Kurenai and the others, and to hinder the destruction that was about to take place.

As the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, she knew how terrifying the tailed beasts' techniques could be.

"Where is Qing Si?"

Kurenai asked with concern.

"He sometimes uses space-time ninjutsu."

Kushina's mood was also very unsettled.

She had just learned that Kiyoshi was her destined partner; she was worried that something might happen to him.

"Is it worth using so much of my chakra to deal with this Uchiha brat?"

The four tails inside Rōshi's body watched everything Rōshi did.

"Hmph, he's no ordinary person."

Old Purple had already guessed who the Uchiha ninja he was fighting was.

He rarely paid attention to foreign ninjas, only gathering information on ninjas for those whose information was absolutely necessary.

He had heard some things about Uchiha Kiyoshi.

"That trick won't work on me right now."

Kiyoshi deliberately dispersed his chakra, and the swirling purplish-black flames and the snake shadow behind him disappeared.

"Give up the resistance?"

Old Purple was surprised, but he did not put down the "Tailed Beast Ball" he was accumulating.

"If I had come earlier, I would have needed to use the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to evade, but now I don't need to."

As Kiyoshi spoke, his eyes focused on the "Tailed Beast Ball" that was about to be released.

"The Plain Tea Bowl!"
