Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Chapter 304 Tsunade's Surprise at Obtaining Wood Release
Xiao organization.

As Obito, wearing a yellow spiral mask, listened to the White Zetsu's report, his heart sank.

Upon closer reflection, it turns out that Uchiha Kiyoshi had actually had contact with most of the tailed beasts.

Could it be that he also knows the secret of the Ten-Tails?
No, it's impossible.

Obito shook his head, denying the answer.

The legend of the Ten-Tails has long been buried in the dust of history and has not resurfaced for thousands of years.

He himself only learned about this matter through Madara Uchiha.

"We must find out Uchiha Kiyoshi's purpose in collecting the tailed beast chakra."

Obito frowned.

To become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, one must possess the "Gedo Mazo" and the "Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal".

The "Gedo Mazo" requires the "Rinnegan" left behind by Madara for summoning and control, and only he knows about the "Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal".

Even if Uchiha Kiyoshi went to collect the Tailed Beasts, it would be to no avail.

"Bai Jue, remember to investigate this matter."

Despite his unease, Obito decided to send White Zetsu to investigate.

After giving the order, Obito Uchiha disappeared into thin air.

When he reappeared, he was already in a corner of the Akatsuki's base.

"Ban, you've come."

Nagato remained calm, clearly having grown accustomed to Obito's occasional visits.

"Am I right? The Akatsuki organization is having a hard time controlling the Land of Rain right now. After it expands on a large scale, it will inevitably become a mixed bag of good and bad members."

Obito said to Nagato.

The Akatsuki organization was so formidable that Hanzo of the Salamander was wary of them and actively sought to nip them in the bud.

To a large extent, it consisted of a group of like-minded and ambitious individuals; at that time, the Akatsuki organization followed an elite path.

The Land of Rain is a small country, but compared to those large countries, it is still a country nonetheless.

If the Akatsuki organization wants to control the Land of Rain, it will recruit more and more people.

"Xiao, indeed, some people have gone against their original intentions."

Nagato said.

"You are the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths' will, born to bring lasting peace to the world, but if things continue like this, when will that day ever come?"

Obito used manipulation.

Through his long-term persuasion and the development of the "Rinnegan" ability by the Kyoto monk, he came to realize the power of this ability.

Nagato has already shown signs of calling himself a god.

This is normal, because the "Rinnegan" is indeed so special that only the legendary Sage of Six Paths possessed it.

"Think about it, how many people experience the same thing as you every day?"

Obito emphasized this sentence again.

He had said similar things countless times, all to reinforce Nagato's impression of him.

Nagato remained silent.

"Think about it."

Obito gradually disappeared.

Soon, Nagato will be bewitched by him, believing himself to be the chosen one who will bring peace to the ninja world.

In the future, this fighting ability will also help him deal with Kiyoshi.

With that in mind, Obito decided to go and see for himself what Rin Nohara was doing.

…………

Kiyoshi sat alone on the bed.

Red eyeshadow appeared around his eyes, then quickly faded away.

It reappeared not long after.

He was gathering natural energy, refining it into "Sage Chakra," and then sealing this chakra with the "Yin Seal."

This repetitive behavior has become a daily routine for Kiyoshi.

"You have learned a new entry: [Entry: Wood Release Ninja (Purple)]".

A new term appeared before Qing Si.

[Entry: Wood Release Ninja (Purple)]

[Requirement met: The "Wood" Release seed within the body has matured.]

【Progress: (Completed).】

[Effect: You can use your own chakra as the source of life to activate the "Wood" Release secret technique, increasing your resistance to "Earth" and "Water" by 100%.]

Your training speed for the "Wood" Release technique has increased by 100% from its original speed.

Your Wood Release technique's power has increased by 100%.

Your immense vitality is beginning to bring you a certain degree of accelerated healing.

"call……"

As the entry panel finished displaying the message, Kiyoshi felt a warm sensation all over his body, as if he were lying in a hot spring.

"Does it have a certain effect on accelerating the healing process?"

Kiyoshi secretly said.

Tsunade's "Ninja Art: Creation Rebirth Technique" is actually an imitation of Hashirama Senju.

The difference is that Hashirama Senju's healing effect is passive, healing without hand seals.

Tsunade's ninjutsu, on the other hand, requires her to actively release it.

"So……"

Kiyoshi gathered Earth Release chakra in his left hand and Water Release chakra in his right, along with his life force, which was Yang Release chakra.

The clean soil immediately reacted, and clusters of green shoots began to emerge from it.

From sparse to dense, until it filled all of Qing Si's tents.

Kiyoshi mobilized his chakra again, and the plants quickly withered and shriveled on the ground.

"I need to ask Tsunade for some secret techniques related to 'Wood' Release."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

It's unclear how long it would take for him to develop it on his own.

"Kiyoshi, do you need a fire started?"

Nohara Rin came in from outside and happened to see a pile of dry branches on the ground.

"It's just an experiment with a technique."

With a wave of his hand, Kiyoshi conjured a whirlwind that sent the withered branches flying outside, where they landed in the bushes.

"Spell?"

Nohara Lin was puzzled.

Soon, she stopped dwelling on the issue and said:
"I've come to ask you how to treat this condition."

Nohara Rin took out a small list.

Practicing medicine on the battlefield means encountering all sorts of diseases.

These diseases, some of which are even newly emerging, are difficult for Nohara Rin to cure completely at present.

"Not urgent."

Kiyoshi glanced at it and put the list down.

These are all very simple questions, so there's no rush.

His life energy had just surged again, and he was a bit irritable.

When you get too angry, you naturally need to cool down.

"You have a photograph in your hand?"

Suddenly, Kiyoshi noticed that Nohara Rin was holding a photograph in her hand.

"Yes, it's a photo of us from before."

As Nohara Rin spoke, a fleeting memory flashed through her mind.

She was still reminiscing about the past when a medical ninja came to ask her how to treat a certain disease.

Nohara Rin didn't know how to treat patients, so she came directly here to ask Kiyoshi for help.

"Is that so?"

Kiyoshi looked at Nohara Rin, whose fair face had two purple patterns on it.

Her short, flowing hair swayed in the wind, with a few strands falling onto her cheeks.

"Lin, it's been a long time since I've given you any guidance."

Kiyoshi stepped forward, gently brushing his hand through Nohara Rin's hair, then down her delicate neck.

Nohara Rin was startled.

She hasn't closed the curtain yet.

What is Kiyoshi trying to do?
Kiyoshi could clearly see that Nohara Rin's face was flushed.

Even though it wasn't the first or second time they'd been intimate, Nohara Rin was still so shy.

Yes, Kiyoshi likes this style too.

Next, Kiyoshi adjusted Nohara Rin's position so that her back was facing him.

Her tight red thermal stockings clung to her thighs, creating a subtle, fleshy look.

"curtain……"

Nohara Rin seemed to have anticipated something and quickly said something.

Kiyoshi smiled slightly and used his chakra to close the curtain.

"Let me do a spot check on Lin's... knowledge."

Qingsi spoke.

He had high hopes for Nohara Rin, believing she was the most likely candidate to become the second powerful medical ninja after Tsunade.

That's right, Kiyoshi believes she can surpass Yakushi Nonou's medical skills.

After all, Yakushi Nonou's real job was being a spy; being a medical ninja was just another side job for her.

As for Kabuto Yakushi, he has a promising future on Orochimaru's path, which is biotechnology, rather than medical ninjutsu.

"……it is good."

Nohara Lin nodded slightly.

She was prepared to test her knowledge reserves, and even if Kiyoshi's "unicorn" appeared, she could barely stand still.

Every time, she was amazed at how Kiyoshi tamed such a "unicorn beast," even though he already had a terrifying spirit beast like the White Snake.

"Wait...wait, let me put the photo down."

Nohara Lin spoke.

Holding the photos in my hand always feels uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, the strict Kiyoshi did not heed Nohara Rin's pleas, but instead began to test her knowledge.

"Well……"

Nohara Rin frowned, seemingly organizing the information about medical ninjutsu in her mind.

As his memories become increasingly intense, Kiyoshi begins to test his water-style ninjutsu, which is in addition to medical ninjutsu.

Nohara Rin perfectly executed her teammate's Water Release jutsu. Just as the Water Release jutsu was activated, the photo in her hand accidentally fell to the ground, getting some Water Release marks on it.

Kiyoshi didn't pay any attention.

Training in ninjutsu naturally involves interacting with the surrounding environment.

Rin Nohara's water-style ninjutsu, released through hand seals, only wet the ground and a photograph, which was insignificant compared to the damage caused by Kushina's training in the "Rasengan."

When Nohara Rin tried to bend down to pick it up, she couldn't manage it for a long time because of her patience.

Coincidentally, the photo was blown out by the wind through the gap in the curtain and scattered in the air.

As the air currents swirled around the tent, they danced with the fallen leaves outside.

The water droplets in the photo sparkled in the sunlight, and you could vaguely see Minato Namikaze smiling as he touched Obito and Kakashi's heads.

Obito, toothpick in his mouth, smiled, while Kakashi stared blankly, speechless.

Rin Nohara stood in the middle at the very front of the three, making a peace sign with both hands, her radiant smile frozen in time.

……

hiss……

Obito arrived at Konoha's camp.

With access to the underground intelligence network established by White Zetsu, Obito's information network was remarkably well-informed.

He knew a lot about what was happening in the ninja world, including the camp where Kiyoshi was located.

"It is necessary to confirm Uchiha Kiyoshi's current strength."

With soil dark passage.

Without a standard reference, you will suffer when it comes to actual combat.

"Kamui" is still somewhat weak as an attack. It is difficult to transfer it to the "Kamui Space" when facing a strong person with fast reaction speed.

"Well, what is this?"

Obito used "Earth Release: Earth Dive" to infuse the soil around him with Earth Release chakra, making the surrounding land liquid and allowing him to float on the ground.

He peeked out and suddenly noticed a photograph flying down from the sky.

The wary Obito didn't touch it immediately, but waited until the photo landed before examining it.

His pupils immediately contracted.

The photo was... a picture of myself with Lin and the others from the past.

Rin Nohara's voice and smile are still vivid in my mind, as if everything happened yesterday.

"Who lost it? Kakashi? Or Minato-sensei?"

Obito frowned.

Kakashi respects Rin and wouldn't casually throw away such a precious photo.

That's Minato Namikaze?
Obito thought about it and realized it was unlikely.

Minato Namikaze is mild-mannered and wouldn't do something like that.

But the final choice was Nohara Rin, which made it even more impossible.

Nohara Rin cherished the time she spent with everyone; in the photos, she had the brightest smile. If no one could be with her, then who lost her?
And in the sweltering summer, where do the dewdrops on it come from?
Obito harbored doubts.

Just as he was about to put aside these doubts and focus on finding Kiyoshi, he suddenly heard a certain rhythm.

The earth is shaking.

Obito, being situated right in the earth, felt it all the more acutely.

The sound also began to travel from the earth through him.

This is... an extremely ominous premonition began to surface in Obito's mind.

He felt as if he had returned to the day he escaped from Ban, and the emptiness in his heart was once again filled with the eerie winds of hell.

"Lin, is it alright that the photos are lost?"

Qingsi said.

"Hmm...wait a bit...and I'll just pick it up."

Nohara Rin shook her head; the assessment was more important now.

Seeing that Nohara Rin was so eager to learn, Kiyoshi taught her more real skills.

With his current expertise in medicine, even a little bit of it would be enough for Nohara Rin to eat her fill.

This is thanks to the puppet clones, which have accumulated relevant knowledge for Kiyoshi over a long period of time without interruption.

At the same time, Kiyoshi also developed a physique strong enough to withstand all of this.

Upon hearing this, Obito's body suddenly froze, and he almost couldn't maintain his ninjutsu.

He felt the pain of his heart being torn apart.

The "Mangekyou Sharingan" in his right eye began to rotate involuntarily.

The power of his pupils began to... increase.

"This... really is a fake world."

Seeing that Nohara Rin didn't even bother to pick up their old photos, Obito felt incredibly sad at that moment.

He wants to create a real world.

There, Lin will remain as beautiful and innocent as she was back then.

They came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Everything seemed unchanged, except for one more heartbroken person.

……

On the way back, Tobi covered Obito's body and enhanced his chakra.

"Obito, you've gotten stronger again?"

Ah Fei was surprised.

If Obito continues to grow stronger at this rate, Madara's "Eye of the Moon" plan will have a much higher success rate.

Obito ignored Tobi and planned to go to Kirigakure.

He wanted to turn that place into a breeding ground for the Akatsuki organization.

Xiao will inevitably become a major force under his command.

Uchiha Kiyoshi will face his reckoning sooner or later.

……

Kiyoshi seemed to sense something and glanced outside.

Kiyoshi sensed all of this when Obito arrived.

"Kamui" is a space-time ninjutsu. Since Obito was teleported here, he would inevitably have to reveal his true form. It was impossible for him to maintain a "hollowed-out" state all the time.

To Kiyoshi's surprise, it seemed that Obito's eye power had increased.
A smile gradually crept onto his lips.

The eyes that reflect the soul reveal that everyone is indeed a unique being.

He relied on "appreciating beautiful things," while Obito relied on color...

Hehehe...

Kiyoshi's pupil power has also increased.

His body is undergoing a continuous transformation.

A layer of grass gradually sprouted from the ground, and the tree trunks outside the house involuntarily stretched and moved closer to Qing Si.

Thus, Kiyoshi's small tent looked just like a throne surrounded by trees.

……

not far away.

Mikoto was still carrying a bento box.

"Hey, Mikoto, where are you going?"

Tsunade saw that it was Mikoto and raised her hand to greet her.

After all, Mikoto is Kushina's best friend, so with that connection, their relationship won't be too bad.

Especially during wartime, people will form a "bond".

"I...I'm going to deliver a bento to Kiyoshi."

When Mikoto mentioned Kiyoshi, a gentle smile appeared on her face, making her look like a newlywed wife who was taking the initiative to deliver food to her husband's workplace.

"Isn't that guy's cooking pretty good?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow.

Does Kiyoshi really need someone to bring him food?

She felt it was completely unnecessary.

"Kiyoshi is so busy that sometimes he doesn't even have time to eat."

Mikoto shook her head.

For some reason, Kiyoshi sometimes goes a whole day without eating, yet he still has plenty of energy.

Keep in mind that this is a battlefield, and the daily consumption is enormous.

Therefore, Mikoto has maintained the habit of delivering meals to Kiyoshi.

"Well, okay."

After thinking about it, Tsunade decided to go with Mikoto.

In war, it's impossible to be on high alert at all times.

Even among ninjas, there are ways to relax, and gambling is one of them.

As long as it's not too excessive, they won't interfere.

Tsunade planned to drag Kiyoshi along to gamble a couple of times.

She hadn't gambled for a long time, and her hands were itching to gamble.

Mikoto did not refuse Tsunade, and the two women headed towards Kiyoshi together.

"Hmm... what is this?"

Mikoto's eyes widened as she pointed at Kiyoshi's tent.

Qingsi's location is very remote, being the most secluded spot in the camp.

This was the result of Qing Si's own initiative, for the sake of better spiritual practice.

Therefore, few people come here.

"Wood Release...!"

Tsunade blurted it out.

Back in Shikkotsu Forest, Tsunade had a premonition that Kiyoshi would obtain the power of "Wood" Release, but she never expected that day to come so soon.

Suddenly, Tsunade's pretty face changed, and a hint of red appeared on the fine hairs on the back of her neck.

She still remembered her conversation with Kiyoshi, where she told him that if Kiyoshi really mastered the "Wood" Release, he shouldn't call her "teacher," but rather she should call him "Teacher Kiyoshi."

They also provide 24-hour personal assistance.

Tsunade was both ashamed of the promise and happy that her grandfather's secret technique had a successor.

"How can someone who's just an Uchiha be able to use Wood Release? Could it be that the Senju clan bloodline isn't essential?"

Tsunade frowned.

"Wood" Release is considered a secret technique-type bloodline limit, rather than a type of physical mutation.

The user needs to actively use both "Earth" and "Water" chakra properties simultaneously.

Apart from her grandfather, Tsunade had never seen anyone succeed.

There were only vague rumors circulating from the Root organization about a boy with Wood Release techniques, but there was no concrete evidence.

For a period of time, Konoha devoted all its resources to human experimentation, but no one was found who could withstand Grandpa's power.

Kiyoshi learned it all by himself?

Or does he also have some of the Thousand Hands bloodline in him?
Considering Kiyoshi's enormous chakra reserves, Tsunade felt that this hypothesis was not impossible.

Their clan is known as the Thousand Hands of the Forest.

"Kiyoshi, we've arrived."

Tsunade, being a straightforward woman, didn't hesitate and followed Mikoto to the tent.

"This is a bento I made for you, Kiyoshi."

Mikoto carried the bento box inside.

However, it was Nohara Rin, her face flushed, who opened the curtains.

"Hello, Mikoto-neechan."

Nohara Rin greeted him politely.

"Uh... hello."

Mikoto was stunned for a moment.

She did know Nohara Rin, but she was wondering why Nohara Rin was with Kiyoshi.

He was drenched in sweat and looked ruddy.

This touched upon a blind spot in Mikoto's knowledge.

Tsunade, standing to the side, sniffed the air but couldn't detect any scent.

I dismissed a certain thought from my mind.

"It's Mikoto and Tsunade."

Qingsi said.

"Kiyoshi, have you learned the 'Wood' Release technique?"

Tsunade went straight to the point as soon as she entered.

"Correct."

Qingsi nodded in agreement.

It's no big deal.

After Yamato emerged from the Root, he casually used the secret techniques of "Wood" Release.

Of course, his "Wood" Release is completely incomparable to Hashirama Senju's "Wood" Release.

"Wood escape..."

Kiyoshi raised his hand, and branches from outside the tent extended through the curtain, bearing clusters of red flowers.

"It can't be wrong..."

Tsunade's eyes widened in disbelief. Kiyoshi had actually learned the secret technique of "Wood" Release!
"You are the second ninja to master Wood Release after my grandfather."

"No, it should be called the third one."

Kiyoshi said.

Actually, he should be considered the fifth.

If we don't count White Zetsu, after Hashirama died, Madara stitched up the flesh from Hashirama's chest and learned Hashirama's techniques. Obito was also able to use the Wood Release technique because of the transplantation of "Hashirama cells".

After that comes Yamato.

"Are the rumors about the Root true?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow?
It was only after the war started that she began to frequently return to the village.

Before this, she had been wandering the ninja world.

I had some knowledge of the Root's secret research into the "Wood" Release technique.

"Sort of, but he was transplanted, he was an experimental subject, so he's not perfect."

Kiyoshi said.

Yamato was able to display his great power when he put on Tobi's body and was possessed by Tobi, thus gaining a boost.

Besides, his "Wood" Release techniques become too much for him to handle on a slightly larger scale.

"Tsunade-sensei, what should you call me now?"

Kiyoshi looked at Tsunade.

Tsunade wore a green ninja vest and tight black pants that accentuated the straight curves of her rounded thighs.

She gently bit her lower lip, hesitated for a long time, and then softly said:
"Teacher Kiyoshi."

After saying that, Tsunade clenched her fists.

She is a person of her word, so she will do it no matter what.

But this is just too... shameful!

Her tone was much softer than usual, tinged with embarrassment.

"Tsunade-sensei, you don't need to call me that anymore. Just teach me a little Wood Release ninjutsu. I already know all the techniques you taught me before."

Kiyoshi looked at Tsunade's tightly clenched, bright red lips, which appeared more elastic due to the moisture.

"……Row."

Tsunade nodded.

Kiyoshi is her disciple, so it doesn't matter if he teaches her "Wood" Release.

Even if exposed to the entire ninja world, very few people could actually learn the secret technique of "Wood" Release from those above.

Watching Kiyoshi and Tsunade talk, Nohara Rin lowered her head, feeling somewhat inferior.

In terms of magnanimity, she cannot compare to Tsunade.

In terms of gentle temperament, she cannot compare to Mikoto.
