Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Chapter 307 Immortal Technique Fusion, An Unexpected Incident in the Morning
Kushina and Kamitsuki stepped into the camp together.

……

"Has Uchiha Kiyoshi come here?"

After a whirlpool, Obito and Nagato suddenly appeared in the Konoha camp.

The two men hid behind the tent.

Due to the unique nature of Obito's power, few people would discover his presence.

Even his occasional trips back to Konoha didn't trigger any alarms.

"We can have that guy Yagura Karatachi test Kiyoshi's strength."

With soil dark passage.

He plans to do it manually.

Now, Yagura Karatachi, influenced by his eye power, has become his puppet.

Obito could choose to let his consciousness personally control Yagura's body.

This is equivalent to him fighting Kiyoshi.

"Is this Konoha's camp?"

Behind Obito, there was another person's figure.

The person had bright red hair, and beneath the long hair were a pair of deep, pale purple eyes.

Behind him, he carried a huge scroll.

He stood with his feet inside a device that resembled an iron barrel, with rollers extending from all sides.

After suffering irreversible damage to his feet, Nagato could only go out using this device.

"You can tell the answer by looking at the headbands worn by those ninjas. Be careful not to let your aura leak out."

Obito glanced at Nagato.

He brought Nagato here to train Nagato's strength.

The Rinnegan is a tremendous treasure; Madara Uchiha himself only awakened this Sage Eye on his deathbed.

Even Madara Uchiha could only be described as familiar with, not as proficient in, the abilities of the Rinnegan.

Obito had never seen Madara Uchiha fight, but he guessed that Madara's personality was such that he must have mastered eye techniques that were advantageous for combat, such as the Deva Path's "Planetary Devastation" and the Preta Path's "Chakra Devouring".

Of course, all of this was just his speculation.

Obito vaguely sensed that Madara Uchiha was not as simple as he seemed.

He learned about the "binding seal" placed on his heart through some means, indicating that Madara Uchiha must have left other contingency plans.

Once all the tailed beasts are collected and all enemies are defeated, it will likely be time for the two to fight amongst themselves.

"I know."

Nagato observed everything around him.

The materials used for the tents here, and the clothes worn by the ninjas, are far superior to those of the ninjas in the Land of Rain.

The upgrading of military equipment cannot be separated from financial support.

The Land of Rain is still somewhat chaotic, and its economy, compared to the past, is only gradually recovering.

They simply cannot afford the corresponding funds to improve the strength of the Rain Country's ninjas.

This is the gap in national power between large and small countries.

Nagato remained silent.

"Here, you can also see your kinsmen who were used as sacrificial offerings by the people of Konoha."

Obito thought of a woman who had a good relationship with Minato Namikaze.

After Konoha decided to send Kushina to the battlefield, he learned from White Zetsu that Kushina was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!

"The power of sacrifice?"

Nagato was puzzled.

"That is, the so-called human jinchūriki."

Obito explained to Nagato.

As the two were talking, Kiyoshi, who was in the distance, suddenly turned his gaze toward them.

Obito's heart skipped a beat, and he and Nagato quickly used a concealment ninjutsu to hide.

After a while, Kiyoshi withdrew his gaze, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is that guy's perception really that sharp?"

Obito frowned.

All sensory ninjutsu are techniques that require active execution.

It doesn't mean that once you learn it, it will run continuously for 24 hours a day.

Otherwise, how could Tobirama Senju, whose perception was equally strong back then, have failed to sense the sneak attacks from Kinkaku and Ginkaku?

This resulted in him being severely injured and forced to flee. In the end, he chose to cover the retreat alone, allowing Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others to escape first.

What are your eyes?

Nagato was suspicious.

His keen insight allowed him to clearly see the scarlet pattern inside the eye holes of Obito's mask.

That's completely different from the ordinary three-tomoe jade pendant.

Nagato had wanted to ask this for a long time.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan is considered the ultimate evolution of the Sharingan."

Obito pointed to his eyes.

He didn't quite say it.

That means the Sharingan is qualified to become the "Rinnegan".

Nagato believed he possessed the "Rinnegan" naturally, but it was actually Madara Uchiha who gradually progressed from the One-Tomoe Sharingan to the Mangekyou Sharingan before finally acquiring the "Rinnegan."

"Yeah."

Nagato nodded.

Obito's eye power is indeed inferior to his.

In this light, the "Rinnegan" is indeed the most sublime eye.

It truly lives up to its reputation as the Sage of Six Paths' Eye of Immortality.

Looking at Nagato's arrogant demeanor, Obito felt nothing but pity.

He also fused with "Hashirama cells," and might evolve the "Rinnegan" like Madara.

A fool like Nagato should just stay a pawn.

…………

"What's wrong, Kiyoshi?"

Kushina asked.

She possesses the ability to sense malice, and can use this ability as long as she extracts the Nine-Tails' chakra.

There seemed to be a fleeting hint of malice just now.

However, Kushina was used to this situation.

After her identity was exposed, some ninjas in the village believed that she was a demon fox disguised as a monster, and thus showed malice.

She had never done anything wrong, yet she still faced such discrimination.

When she was a child, she was gossiped about and had her hair pulled because her hair color was too bright.

"Nothing much, just two frogs jumping around, looking at the sky from the bottom of a well."

Qing Si continued to move forward.

"I see."

Kushina nodded slowly.

The two went to hand over the duties to the person in charge of the camp.

The man who emerged was tall with white hair reaching his waist.

"Kiyoshi, Kushina, you've arrived."

Jiraiya put down the manuscript in his hand.

He recently started writing a book, and the first volume of "Intimate Paradise" has just been released.

He anticipates turning "Intimate Paradise" into a series, eventually making him the best-selling author in the Land of Fire!
However, there was a book called "Icha Icha Hell" that kept him in check, but unfortunately the author never showed up, which made Jiraiya very frustrated.

"Jiraiya-sama."

Qingsi nodded slightly.

Jiraiya's striking white hair wasn't grown just because it looked good.

This white hair is for the secret art of manipulating hair.

Examples include "Ninja Technique: Needle Jizo" and "Disorderly Lion's Mane Technique".

It can attack or defend, and most ninjas are caught off guard and suffer a great loss.

"I heard you went to the Wet Bone Forest?"

"Yes, I've learned the 'immortal arts' there."

Qingsi said calmly.

"Immortal Arts, ah, that's a specialty of the Holy Land, you can't miss it! Back in the day, I studied it for ten years..."

Jiraiya's boastful expression suddenly stopped.

Wait a minute, what did Kiyoshi just say?
Have you mastered the "magic arts" of Shikkotsu Forest?
Is this really that outrageous?!

Jiraiya crossed his arms, practically wearing his disbelief on his face.

It's one thing to try to learn a quick immortal technique like the one in Ryuchi Cave where you die if you fail, and you only have one chance, but in a moderate and peaceful place like Shikkotsu Forest, the "immortal techniques" used can't possibly take that long.

This applies even to those who possess other "immortal arts".

Different "Sage Techniques" have certain commonalities. The principle is to absorb natural energy and mix it into "Sage Chakra," but the methods of implementation are completely different.

Mount Myoboku can "turn into a frog", Ryuchi Cave can "turn into a snake", and Shikkotsu Forest is the most terrifying, where people can "turn into bones".

Essentially, the flesh and blood have "slugified," flowing out completely, making it look like a skeleton.

These points of alienation stem from the different biological species and different perceptions of natural energy among the different immortals.

It seems like Kiyoshi hasn't been there many times either.
"Heh, Jiraiya-sama, you don't believe me?"

Kiyoshi formed a hand seal with one hand, accelerating the gathering of chakra.

In just a few dozen seconds, red lines appeared on Kiyoshi's forehead and around his eyes, and red eyeshadow covered his eye sockets.

His aura changed completely.

Jiraiya stared at Kiyoshi with wide eyes, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

Even when he was teammates with Orochimaru, Jiraiya had never been so devastated.

Kiyoshi's face has no abnormal features at all. The more human characteristics he retains, the more perfect his "Sage Mode" will be.

His most prized disciple, Minato Namikaze, although he also managed to learn "Sage Arts," had a very short lifespan.

"I need the latest intelligence from here."

Kiyoshi said to Jiraiya after deactivating "Sage Mode".

"Give the intelligence to Kiyoshi."

Jiraiya summoned a ninja.

After the ninja respectfully withdrew, he handed Kiyoshi a scroll.

Kiyoshi opened it and found it contained the latest intelligence.

"You can rest for now, and we'll begin our operation tomorrow."

Jiraiya spoke.

Not long after the words were spoken, strange noises continued to emanate from the camp.

"It's time to keep the flame of youth burning again!"

After the ninjas changed shifts, Might Guy couldn't wait to speak.

The remaining leisure time can then be used for physical exercise and self-discipline.

Only in this way can we become stronger and stronger, and move closer to our father and Kiyoshi.

"Uh……"

Jiraiya was also stunned.

He had met Matt Day, and he had the same personality.

But it has to be said, they really have the ability.

Now that Matt Kai is like this, not many people dare to underestimate him.

Whether it's taijutsu or ninjutsu, they're essentially the same—killing techniques.

As long as the killing is efficient, fast, and ruthless, that's all that matters.

Jiraiya looked down at his hands.

For the sake of the village, he inevitably had to confront darkness and witness the bloodshed of innocent people at times.

But all of this is for the sake of peace.

Jiraiya's gaze gradually hardened.

He watched Kiyoshi, Kushina, and the others leave, his gaze finally settling on Kiyoshi.

Such magical talent brought him closer and closer to becoming the "Child of Prophecy" he envisioned.

"No rush. We've got news from Nagato's side too. Let me see who the true 'Child of Prophecy' is."

Jiraiya murmured in a voice that only he could hear.

The "Child of Prophecy" is a matter of great importance and must be treated with utmost caution.

……

That night.

Kiyoshi sat alone inside his tent.

In order to condense the "Hundred Healings Seal" of "Sage Chakra", Kiyoshi mastered the "Sage Mode" of Shikkotsu Forest to a very high level.

Thus, Kiyoshi made his first attempt to combine two different "immortal arts".

A pale green glow emanated from his body, and ethereal serpents began to coil around him.

The white snake, nestled in his sleeve, affectionately nudged Kiyoshi's hand with its head before tightly coiling around him.

Kiyoshi's sense of smell and perception were greatly enhanced at this moment.

So much so that he can smell all sorts of foul odors.

This is normal; ninjas are always covered in sweat after a day of fighting.

The place closest to Kiyoshi's place is where Mikoto and Kushina are.

Both of them are women who love cleanliness.

Kiyoshi twitched his nostrils, no longer taking a closer sniff. The "magic" of Ryuchi Cave had been activated.

Kiyoshi did not convert all of his chakra into "Sage Chakra," but kept half of it.

Next is...

Kiyoshi also began to circulate the "Sage Chakra" of Shikkotsu Forest.

Click... click...

It's like a computer that suddenly opens two AAA games, and the graphics card starts spinning like crazy.

This is not because Qing Si's ability to withstand pressure is weak.

Instead, half of the chakra was converted into "Ryuchi Cave's Sage Chakra".

Now, the other half of the chakra must be converted from the body's cells into "Sage Chakra of Shikkotsu Forest".

A balance of "yin" and "neutral" chakra began to swirl and rotate within Kiyoshi's meridian system.

These two different colors are beginning to merge.

However, it suddenly exploded in the next second.

Kiyoshi's clothes were torn to shreds, revealing his strong physique underneath.

If he hadn't set up a sound-absorbing barrier in the tent beforehand, the other ninjas would probably have thought it was an enemy attack.

"It failed, why?"

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

The "magic arts" of Ryūchi-dō appear to be very feminine; in other words, they can be described as sinister and poisonous.

Such insidious attributes are not entirely compatible with the neutrality and mediocrity of Shikkotsu Forest.

Although Shikkotsu Forest's "magic arts" are like a lubricant, you can't stand it for long.

"Let's try Shennong's techniques."

Qingsi thought of Shennong.

Kiyoshi obtained the "Zero-Tail Technique" back at the Royal Capital Fortress.

Above, Qing Si also saw some forbidden medical techniques used by Shennong.

These are "Forbidden Medical Techniques: Body Revitalization" and "Body Transformation".

The former can activate one's own body cells, thereby enhancing the body's capabilities.

The latter consists of several parts.

Based on "body activation" and "body regeneration", and with the addition of Zero-Tails' dark chakra, it not only allows the cells in the body to reverse, but also achieves instant rejuvenation.

It can also transform physical damage into regenerative enhancement, thereby granting the caster the ultimate physical body.

However, such an ultimate physical body only greatly increases the body's recovery ability and slightly improves its defense, but not by much.

Sasuke used "Lightning Release: Chidori Senbon" to break through Shennong's skin and muscles, inserting it into the chakra points inside, causing a blockage in the flow of chakra and breaking the ninjutsu.

Kiyoshi has already broken down some of these parts and integrated them into the "medical techniques" that operate daily within the body.

Now, the Qing Dynasty aims to strengthen this aspect.

His long hair began to grow longer and thicker.

Kiyoshi once again gathered natural energy and superimposed two more "immortal modes".

With his S-rank chakra control, he barely maintained a delicate balance.

Qing Si suspected that if his physical body hadn't been several times more compatible than the average person, others who tried to emulate him would probably have fallen apart.

"There are many conflicting pathways in the meridian system."

Once things had calmed down a bit, Kiyoshi assessed the condition within his body.

His pale green "Celestial Robe" had deepened in color, and the red circular patterns of the Wet Bone Forest had appeared on it.

However, it is not complete.

Kiyoshi guessed that it was because the two had not blended perfectly.

"Both of these modes consume a terrifying amount of natural energy."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

After he plants the "cursed seal," he may be able to use the cursed seal as a vessel to allow the two chakras to fuse at the location of the cursed seal.

The neutralized chakra then slowly flows into the body.

This should minimize the side effects.

"Both perception and recovery abilities have been enhanced to some extent."

Under the cover of night, Kiyoshi continued his research inside his tent.

……

The next morning, Mikoto brought Kiyoshi breakfast.

"Kiyoshi...you...you're such a grown man, do you still have this habit?"

Mikoto covered her face with her hands, peeking at Kiyoshi's body through the gaps between her fingers.

"There was a slight mishap during my cultivation last night."

Kiyoshi said.

The first attempt at fusion failed, and the clothes exploded.

To avoid all his clothes blowing up, Kiyoshi stopped wearing clothes after that.

As a result, Mikoto arrived here very early in the morning.

To this, Kiyoshi could only say that the early bird catches the worm.

Ah, no, the early bird catches the worm.

"Eat...remember to call me when you're done eating."

After saying that, Mikoto hurriedly left.

Seeing Mikoto's shy expression, Kiyoshi couldn't help but chuckle.

Back in the tent, after taking out his clothes from his bag and changing into a long robe similar to his usual Uchiha robe, Kiyoshi quickly finished the breakfast in his bento box.

His digestive system is very strong now, so eating it all in one go is no problem.

But that would mean missing out on the process of appreciating it.

Having gained a certain level of strength, Kiyoshi doesn't mind occasionally stopping to appreciate the scenery.

"Kiyoshi, you're up so early."

Might Guy, who was still running upside down on his fingers, sent a greeting to Kiyoshi.

"Kai, you got up even earlier."

After a quick wash, Kiyoshi said.

Without the "Lightning Release Technique" and "Medical Technique" within his body, he would probably still resort to this traditional and inefficient training method.

"Remember to conserve some stamina, otherwise you won't have any left if the enemy launches a sneak attack."

Kiyoshi said.

"No problem, today is just a warm-up!"

Matt Kai extended his thumb, flashing his bright white teeth.

"Ugh, I'm a little sleepy."

Kushina yawned.

The thought of encountering new enemies kept Kushina excited all night, and she didn't get much rest.

"Hurry up and wash up."

Kiyoshi patted Kushina on the shoulder, whispered something in her ear, and then walked toward Mikoto's tent with the lunchbox in hand.

"Know it."

Kushina said softly.

Just now, Qing Si spoke in her ear, and his breath tickled her.

For some reason, Kushina wanted to blow it again.

No, no, what am I thinking?
Kushina quickly shook her head.

After washing up, she went to look for traces of Minato Namikaze.

It's a pity we didn't see Minato Namikaze.

Instead, I saw Jiraiya.

To be honest, Kushina didn't have a good impression of Jiraiya.

According to Tsunade, this guy likes to peep into women's bathhouses and also likes to go to brothels to find hostesses.

I've even started writing erotic novels recently.

He's practically a heavyweight ninja who broke the rules.

If she has children in the future, Kushina will never let them come into contact with people like Jiraiya, lest they learn bad things from him.

"Kushina."

Jiraiya raised his hand.

Unfortunately, Kushina disappeared in a flash.

Jiraiya had no choice but to lower his hand and sigh.

Unfortunately, his reputation has suffered as a result of his research.

"Heh heh, Jiraiya, you should pay more attention to your personal reputation."

Orochimaru stood to the side and said.

During their teenage years, Jiraiya would drag him along to do those silly things like peeping into women's bathhouses.

"I did this for the sake of creation."

Jiraiya made up an excuse.

What do you think Kiyoshi's performance will be like this time?

Jiraiya was about to say something when he suddenly caught sight of Kiyoshi out of the corner of his eye.

"Kiyoshi? I guess it'll be good."

Orochimaru's tone was certain.

"You think so highly of him?"

Jiraiya gave Orochimaru a strange look.

You should know that Orochimaru is a very rational person.

While the two were talking, Kiyoshi and his team had finished assembling.

The number of people this time was not large, and no Byakugan ninjas were brought along.

With red eyes around, white eyes are completely useless.

The fog that perpetually shrouds the mountains and the sea also greatly affects the eyesight of other ninjas.

Half a day later.

The group arrived at a canyon, and outside the canyon was the coastline near the sea.

The air was damp.

"The fog here is so thick."

"Nohara Rin said."

She was also involved in this operation.

In addition, there is Kakashi.

"Could you use Wind Release ninjutsu to disperse this fog?"

Kushina suddenly had a whimsical idea.

"I'm afraid that won't work. The fog here is probably caused by the special geographical environment. If we rashly use ninjutsu and it doesn't work, it will also expose our position and put us in a passive state."

Mikoto opened her mouth.

Their mission was to locate the strongholds of the Hidden Mist in this area and smuggle the intelligence out.

Unlike the time in the Hidden Clouds, the fog here rises straight into the sky, making the entire sky gray.

"That's it."

Kushina lowered her head; this mission was somewhat different from the adventure she had envisioned.

"It's alright, I'll handle the investigation."

As he spoke, Kiyoshi's aura turned cold.

Eyeshadow appeared around his eyes, and a pale green glow formed a unique "fairy cloak" that draped over Kiyoshi like a cape.

The red magical patterns formed a ring behind them.

A hint of doubt lingered in Mikoto's eyes.

She remembered that when Kiyoshi used "Sage Mode" before, he didn't seem to have the markings on his back.

"Kiyoshi, you look like a giant light bulb."

Kushina looked at Kiyoshi.

When she uses the tailed beast chakra, she is enveloped in a light red chakra.

When used excessively, it turns into a dark, deep red, like blood swirling around the body.

"This is what it will be like after mastering 'immortal arts'."

Kakashi said.

He carried a short katana on his back.

After getting used to "Raikiri", Kakashi picked up his old swordsmanship again.

Otherwise, based solely on his strength, the gap between him and Kiyoshi would only widen.

"Is there still such a thing?"

Kushina was curious.

"As Minato-sensei said, the 'Sage Mode' creates a sage-like appearance that the user cannot control, and the same applies to some external changes."

Kakashi said.

He once consulted Minato Namikaze about how to cultivate "Sage Arts," and Minato's answer was that such arts place great emphasis on talent.

And you must have a huge amount of chakra.

He already didn't have much chakra, and he also had the burden of keeping his "Sharingan" active 24 hours a day.

Even with the eye mask covering him to keep his power consumption low, it still affected his daily use of chakra.

Therefore, "immortal arts" were not for him.

"It is somewhat conspicuous."

Qingsi shook his head.

However, during battle, his speed is incredibly fast; the enemy can only see a streak of light flying around.
