Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

The long-lost "Wood" Release technique has actually been performed by someone.

Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya exchanged a glance and then sped up.

Rumble!
The tree trunks grew wildly, and in the blink of an eye, a large, dense forest appeared in this valley.

Those Hidden Mist ninjas who couldn't dodge in time remained there forever.

"Damn it!"

Suigetsu Hozuki raised the fake Samehada and slashed at Kiyoshi.

Samehada: Chakra Absorption!
This is one of Samehada's strongest abilities: it can devour an enemy's chakra as soon as it gets close to their body, weapon, or chakra.

Even a tailed beast-level chakra would be at a disadvantage against Samehada.

Even though it's a replica Samehada, it's more than capable of absorbing Kiyoshi's chakra!
This is what the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon was thinking.

Therefore, he chose to launch a sneak attack when Kiyoshi released "Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World".

At this time, Qing Si will have suffered heavy losses, and his vigilance will be at its lowest.

Click!

Kiyoshi's hand gripped half of Samehada's body.

A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon.

He immediately followed up with "Samehada Chakra Transfer".

He attempted to transfer the chakra absorbed from Kiyoshi's body into his own to quickly heal his wounds.

However, during the transfer of chakra, Suigetsu Hobuki felt Samehada in his hands becoming heavier and heavier.

It was as if he were holding not a weapon, but a statue carved from stone.

His own body also became increasingly stiff.

Its face began to transform into something resembling a snake or a slug, and the writhing flesh looked particularly disgusting.

"I forgot to tell you, you can't control this 'Sage Chakra,' and you'll only end up being devoured by natural energy."

Kiyoshi looked at the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon and said calmly.

Do you really think everyone is Madara Uchiha?

He absorbed Hashirama's "Sage Chakra" using the Preta Path, and was immediately able to control it, then said that this power was nothing special.

"What……!"

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon's pupils contracted.

Is "immortal magic" really such a dangerous thing?

Kiyoshi is actually fighting them while maintaining this state?

Wow...

The flesh and blood of the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon turned into tiny snakes and fell out of its body.

Soon, only a skeleton more than two meters tall remained on the ground.

The small snakes formed from flesh and blood withered to one side, emitting a putrid stench.

"We can't beat them..."

Kushimaru Kurihara's hand, gripping the long sword, was trembling.

Up close, he could deeply feel the terrifying aura emanating from Kiyoshi.

His body's instincts kept warning him.

Once they make a move, their fate will be the same as the other Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

He turned his head and could see Ringo Ameyuri's figure getting further and further away.

This woman...

Kushimaru Kurihara gripped his other hand tightly.

Ringo Ameyuri definitely knew something; she ran away without saying a word.

"Kushina, go and collect all these ninja swords for me."

"okay."

Kushina nodded.

He picked up all the scattered ninja swords from the ground.

Seeing this, Kushimaru Kurihara threw out his long sword and quickly retreated.

Kushina then collected all the ninja swords except for "Raiden Kiba" in Ringo Ameyuri's possession.

Kiyoshi accepted the swords with satisfaction, discarding the imitation ninja swords and keeping only the genuine ones.

He had previously collected three ninja swords, and now he has collected three more.

"Double Blades - Flounder", "Blunt Blade - Slice", "Exploding Blade - Spray".

He is fully capable of creating a new Six Ninja Swordsmen in Konoha.

If we could steal the ninja sword from Ringo Ameyuri, we could form a new Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

In front of all the Hidden Mist ninja, Kiyoshi sealed these ninja swords into his own sealing scroll and then hung it on his waist.

These ninja swords are all quite valuable.

If you put them on the black market, they'd be worth a fortune.

"It really is Wood Release."

Obito channeled his chakra into the tree trunk created by Kiyoshi to investigate its interior.

Since the "Hashirama cells" were deeply transplanted into him, he has also been able to use the "Wood" Release technique.

Without a doubt, Kiyoshi used a similar secret technique.

What puzzled Obito was that Kiyoshi had not received a transplant of "Hashirama cells," so how could he have learned such a secret technique?

Could it be...

Obito frowned slightly.

He suspected that he simply didn't know that Kiyoshi had received a transplant of "halloid cells".

Given how close Kiyoshi and Orochimaru were, it's highly likely that Kiyoshi had already transplanted "Hashirama cells" into his body.

How much of that robust body is actually Kiyoshi's own flesh and blood?
"This is a secret technique that I cannot learn either."

Nagato looked at the dense forest around him and was deeply moved.

He possesses six chakra natures and can use all mainstream ninjutsu, but he cannot synthesize a bloodline limit.

"Let's test Kiyoshi."

Obito turned his head to look at the puppet that Nagato had created.

They are called the Six Paths of Pain, but only two have been created so far.

Obito once asked Nagato why he was named "Pain," and Nagato replied that it meant pain.

Only by making people deeply feel pain and fear pain can we prevent pain from occurring.

This is the mission of the Six Paths of Pain: they are the executors of suffering!
"Shinra Tenzheng!"

While everyone was stunned, Pain used his signature technique on Kiyoshi.

bang.

An invisible repulsive force spread, pushing the white mist out of the circular vacuum.

Qing Si stood motionless in place.

Uchihachi's long robe fluttered in the wind, and the burning light swayed endlessly.

He looked at Pain with great interest.

The power of "Shinra Tensei" depends on the amount of chakra it contains.

In the battle between Pain and Sage Mode Naruto, Naruto unleashed his six tails, making it impossible for the ordinary "Shinra Tensei" to repel him.

He was even thrown back by the reaction force of "Shinra Tensei".

The next moment, black arcs of electricity shot out.

Kiyoshi grabbed Pain's face with his large hand and slammed him to the ground.

boom!
The ground was smashed into a deep crater, and the puppet's face was also dented.

"The completion rate is not high."

Kiyoshi took down a black chakra rod; these were tools used for transmitting chakra.

These are far inferior to the Pain created from Yahiko's corpse in the original work.

It's probably just a trial run by Nagato.

With the iconic black nails and the ninjutsu that manipulates repulsive force, Kiyoshi immediately recognized that Nagato was behind it all.

Sure enough, when Kiyoshi closed his eyes and began to sense in reverse, there was an invisible connection between the chakra in his hand and a mountain peak.

On that mountain peak, Kiyoshi sensed Nagato's location.

The vessels through which the chakra was remotely inputted were the puppets in front of them, and another puppet not far away beside the Hidden Mist Anbu.

"He saw me?"

Cold sweat beaded on the distant mountain peak, and his long red hair was matted together.

He immediately manipulated the remaining Asura Path Pain to attack.

His wrist showed signs of a break, and he flew out with a thud.

Strange Arm Rocket!

Kiyoshi saw the incoming fist, gently slapped it, and sent it flying.

The propulsive force of this move comes from a small burst of energy at the puppet's wrist, but it is covered with a layer of chakra, which can easily shatter even a hard rock.

Jiraiya ultimately died from this very attack.

Unfortunately, these methods are of little use to Qing Si at the moment.

Even if Pain of the Animal Path summoned all eight of his giant summoned beasts to fight against Seiji, Seiji would not lose.

"It's time to stop rolling your eyes."

Qing Si looked at Qing.

One of Hyuga Nobuhiko's Byakugan eyes was placed in his eye socket, and the other Byakugan was probably carefully preserved by Kirigakure.

Every single white eye that leaks out is a strategic resource.

"Wow!"

Qing let out a painful wail.

When he used his only remaining eye to see things clearly, he could only see Kiyoshi quickly sealing away his Byakugan.

"It actually broke the seal and protective charm on my eye patch in an instant, and even gouged out my white eye."

Qing was wary and quickly stepped back, while simultaneously trying to stop the bleeding.

"I think this might make Hinata Ginka more proactive, hmm... how about trying it with the two of you?"

Kiyoshi then thought of Hinatsuki Hyuga.

The cloned Hinata is not yet fully formed.

With a little more guidance, I think there shouldn't be any major problems.

This Byakugan happens to be extremely important to the Hyuga clan.

Both of them will probably make some sacrifices for their families.

Qing Si has already figured out how to expand and strengthen his business from one-on-one guidance to one-on-two, or even one-on-many guidance.

As the saying goes, the sea of ​​knowledge is boundless, and in order to more efficiently grasp the mysteries of "Gentle Fist," Kiyoshi had no other choice but to do so.

"Seiji!"

Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya finally arrived.

Their faces were solemn.

Kiyoshi alone almost destroyed this entire unit.

Of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, five died on the spot, one was frightened, and one escaped.

It's unlikely that it will be able to stir up any major waves in the future.

There were 80 or 90 Kirigakure ninja left, most of them were a mix of Chunin and Jonin.

As long as you slowly avoid the combined ninjutsu, it's easy to defeat them one by one.

The scales of victory began to tip in Konoha's favor.

All of this credit goes to the Qing Si.

"We're here to help you."

Minato Namikaze opened his mouth, and a blue "Rasengan" materialized in his hand.

"no need."

Kiyoshi shook his head, then slowly covered his left eye.

Beneath his palm, the three-tomoe Sharingan began to connect into a strange pattern.

"Yamata no Uta".

Kiyoshi said calmly, his focus fixed on the Hidden Mist ninjas through the gaps between his fingers.

As his pupils surged, eight enormous serpents, their scales interwoven with lightning, snaked out from behind his shoulders, emitting loud roars.

These giant snakes rushed towards the group of Hidden Mist ninjas.

Just like the "Chakra Dragon" released by the "Gedo Mazo", these giant snakes seemed to have no physical form.

It easily passed through the bodies of these ninjas. However, after the serpent left, the ninjas who had been passed through would turn pale and fall down with their eyes rolled back, like empty shells drained of life.

The expressions on their faces still held fear and confusion, as if they never understood why they had died.

Throughout the entire killing spree, there was no splatter of blood or screams; only the fallen corpses, illuminated by the lightning, remained utterly silent.

In just a few seconds, more than eighty ninjas died at Kiyoshi's hands.

The eight-headed serpent, carrying the purified essence of the soul in its mouth, continuously poured into Kiyoshi's body.

In an instant, Kiyoshi felt a massive surge of spiritual power rushing into his eyes like a torrent. His spiritual energy was rapidly increasing.

He could see more than eighty illusory souls suddenly appear in his eyes. Their souls became dim, as if faded, and their faces were filled with terror.

The next second, a strange attraction emanated, and it slowly rose into the sky, disappearing into the air.

"Is it the Pure Land where everyone goes after death...?"

Kiyoshi watched as the soul dissipated.

Ordinary ninjas rarely see souls.

This was also the first time Kiyoshi had ever seen a spirit.

"Is the Pure Land a unique dimension exclusive to the ninja world, or a creation of the Sage of Six Paths?"

Kiyoshi secretly said.

His only doubt was that the Sage of Six Paths in the original work was far too outrageous.

Why didn't a soul that had been dead for over a thousand years go to the Pure Land?
You can also pull out whomever you want directly from the Pure Land, without any offerings or bodily tissues/DNA; you can just pull them out directly.

It was just like the home of the Sage of Six Paths; you could come and go as you pleased.

The Sage of Six Paths said he wanted to talk to Obito, but he instantly sensed that Obito wasn't in the Pure Land, but was still in the mortal world, communicating with Kakashi in a spiritual space.

The soul had wandered for a thousand years and could directly transfer power to Naruto and Sasuke, giving them the power to seal Madara Uchiha, or rather, Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Kiyoshi suspects that if Naruto and Sasuke fail, the Six Paths Elder might personally intervene, resulting in a scene of maternal love and filial piety.

"We must be on guard. I'm growing too fast. Who knows if the Sage of Six Paths will think I'll harm the ninja world and do something to me?"

Kiyoshi stroked his chin
The fact that Kaguya was able to escalate to the point of being resurrected was largely due to the Sage of Six Paths' inaction.

They directly treated the ninja world as a social observation experiment, constantly observing its future development.

He watched his two sons fight to the death in the ninja world for thousands of years, and only came out when the world was about to perish.

If he had intervened beforehand, it might have been possible to stop it.

From the conversation between the Sage of Six Paths and Naruto, we can learn that the Sage of Six Paths has met many Ashuras and Indras.

However, each time they are never very close together, and you can feel the changes of the times.

Qing Si is neither an Asura nor an Indra.

However, with such a rapid growth rate, it is bound to attract the attention of the Sage of Six Paths.

Furthermore, Kiyoshi also has a plan to plant the Divine Tree, which conflicts with the path of the Sage of Six Paths.

"Never mind, let's focus on the present."

Qingsi shook his head.

"Yamata no Uta" is indeed excellent. It extracted a portion of the soul fragments from the souls of these people, refined them, and then fed them back to Kiyoshi.

The key issue is that the consumption is too high.

Kiyoshi not only felt a sharp decrease in his pupil power, but also a weakening of some of his life force.

Just like when Nagato used the "Gedo Mazo", the excessive power can backfire on the user, shortening their lifespan and depleting their body.

"Things should improve once I ascend to the true 'Eternal Kaleidoscope'."

Qingsi thought about it.

His ordinary "Mangekyou Sharingan" possesses the eye power of someone else's "Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan".

Once both eyes evolve into the "Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan" and the seal of the curse is broken, the power of the eye will probably rival that of the "Rinnegan".

"They...are all dead?"

Jiraiya frowned.

He could only see eight giant snakes emerge from Qing Si's body, and in the blink of an eye, the group fell silent.

This is very similar to Kato Dan's "Spiritualization Technique," both of which target attacks on the soul level.

"It can be understood this way."

Kiyoshi lowered his hand, and the strange pattern that had been connected in his eyes separated into three magatama.

He remained silent.

He stood still and waited for the rate at which his spiritual energy surged to slow down, allowing his chakra to adapt to this energy.

His physical energy is currently not keeping up with his spiritual energy.

Chakra is a product of the mixture of the two and needs to be kept in balance.

"Minato, you've finally met your match."

Jiraiya patted Minato Namikaze on the shoulder.

Qing Si's achievements became increasingly dazzling.

Jiraiya knew to some extent that the higher-ups would conceal some of the Uchiha's achievements.

Kiyoshi was too dazzling throughout the entire Three Wars, and there was no way to avoid him.

The Konoha leadership had also promised the Uchiha clan a nominee.

If Kiyoshi were to participate in the election, it would be uncertain who would ultimately win the position of Fourth Hokage.

After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi isn't someone whose word is law in the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Every period of war and turmoil is essentially a reshuffling of the deck.

As the influence of the older generation gradually fades, a new generation of ninjas will take up the baton and shine in their own way.

"Long time no see, Kushina."

Minato Namikaze put aside his worries.

After all, becoming Hokage was his biggest dream, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't sad if he didn't succeed.

Therefore, Minato Namikaze chose to go find Kushina.

At this time, seeing someone you like can help relieve your mood.

"Watergate."

Kushina nodded slightly.

She looked up at Minato Namikaze, who had the same gentle smile as always, like a little sun, but Kushina sensed something was different.

Is that feeling of heartbeats missing?

Kushina's statement is inaccurate.

Minato Namikaze was unaware of Kushina's thoughts. Absence makes the heart pound, and as the saying goes, "absence makes the heart grow fonder."

Kushina is getting more and more beautiful.

Kushina used to be as innocent as a young flower, but now she is gradually blossoming, exuding a woman's charm.

However, she's still a bit short of being a real woman.

It was this mixed temperament, which was both womanly and girlish, that captivated Minato Namikaze.

"Kushina, I'm free tonight too. You can come to my room, and I'll continue to guide you."

While watching Minato Namikaze, an untimely sound rang out.

Minato Namikaze looked in the direction of the sound and found it was Kiyoshi.

He already knew that Kushina and Kiyoshi had a good relationship, so he wasn't too surprised.

"it is good."

Kushina nodded slightly.

She immediately thought of the sticky feeling on her body after each instruction, and blushed involuntarily.

This scene seemed extremely bizarre to Minato Namikaze.

A bad feeling suddenly rose in my heart.

Kiyoshi's monitoring of the Nine-Tails within Kushina actually brought the two closer.

"What do you plan to do with the remaining ninja swords?"

Mikoto came over and asked.

"Let's rebuild, or train some new generation ninjas."

Qingsi said calmly.

If Kirigakure is willing to pay a sufficient price, it's not impossible for him to return the ninja sword.

"You have learned a new entry: [Entry: Overlord of the Blade (Purple)]".

A new term appeared before Qing Si.

[Entry: Overlord of the Blades (Purple)]

[Requirement: Defeat most of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist within three days.]

【Progress: (Completed).】

[Effect: You can freely attach any chakra flow to ninja tools.]

Your swordsmanship training speed has increased by 100%.

Your swordsmanship power has increased by 100%.

No matter what ninja tool you use, you can master it in a very short time.

[Advanced Path 1: Defeat all Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist within three days to obtain the "Sword Saint" (Gold).]

"Only Ringo Ameyuri is left."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin, thinking to himself.

Last time, he also defeated several members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, but presumably, there weren't enough people to trigger this entry.

This time, you also need to defeat Ringo Ameyuri within three days to obtain the [Sword Saint (Gold)].

As for Kushimaru Kurihara, who voluntarily laid down his longsword, he had already died under Kiyoshi's "Yamata no Uta," providing nourishment for Kiyoshi's soul.

"Let's go see Ringo Ameyuri tonight."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

It's defeating, not killing.

He wanted to defeat them in more ways than just a direct confrontation.

Would defeats in other areas also count as defeats?

While Kiyoshi was pondering, Obito quietly used "Kamui" to leave.

"Kamui" is a space-time ninjutsu that disappears directly from the spatial level.

Therefore, Obito dodged Kiyoshi's attack and disguised himself as a corpse.

The other two puppets had no souls, and Nagato immediately severed the connection and fled.

"Kiyoshi, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing that Kiyoshi was in a daze, Kushina waved her hand in front of Kiyoshi's eyes.

Kiyoshi grabbed Kushina's soft little hand, flicked her forehead with his fingertips, and said:

"There are still so many ninjas here, be serious."

"I got it."

Kushina covered her forehead and said with a smile.

Mikoto and Minato both exchanged a slightly unnatural glance.

Mikoto felt a little uncomfortable because Kiyoshi and her best friend were too close.

Minato Namikaze thought the same thing, and was somewhat annoyed to see this scene.

Regardless of what the two thought, time slowly passed.

Before leaving, Kiyoshi suggested collecting their bodies.

Fortunately, they managed to collect a few ninjutsu scrolls.

He probably took it with him to use as a reference for his daily practice, never expecting to die so easily on the battlefield.

The scrolls contained all water-style ninjutsu techniques, but to Kiyoshi's surprise, there was also a scroll about "Shikotsumyaku" (Corpse Bone Pulse).

That's right, it comes from Kaguya Katsuya.

He died from "Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees," the massive and dense tree trunks squeezing him to death.

Kiyoshi also obtained another entry through this.

[Entry: Veins of Corpses (Purple)]

[Requirements met: Kill one elite Jonin of the Kaguya clan; physical vitality must meet the minimum requirements.]

【Progress: (Completed).】

[Effect: Your chakra can manipulate substances related to "bones".]

Your bone density will increase by 100%.

The power of your "Corpse Bone Pulse" will increase by 100% from its original level.

【Note: You can continue to advance later. 】

"The Corpse Bone Pulse?"

Qingsi was stunned.

I never expected that killing Kaguya Katsuya would bring such a reward.

"Corpse Bone Pulse" is probably somewhat related to "Yang" Escape.

Most of the "Yang" escape techniques are related to the physical body.

Most of the "Yin" escape techniques are related to the mind.

Kiyoshi's physical body met the basic conditions for awakening the bloodline limit, so after killing Kaguya Katsuya, the character panel showed this reaction.

"Go back and try again."

In front of a large audience, Qing Si did not act rashly.

To avoid others believing he could devour bloodline limits, thus instilling fear in the entire ninja world. (End of Chapter)
