Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Fugaku rubbed his eyes, and when he opened them, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot.

This is the eye that reflects his soul responding to his pupil technique.

Unfortunately, the price was too high.

Fugaku had already overestimated the side effects of the Kaleidoscope Eye Technique, but he still underestimated them somewhat.

If the cost could be reduced and there was no risk of blindness, Fugaku believed he could lead the Uchiha clan to its most prosperous period in history.

"Has Kiyoshi activated his Kaleidoscope Sharingan yet?"

Fugaku stroked his chin.

He kept the matter of Mikoto to himself for the time being.

An ambiguous future will only disrupt his thinking.

The increased ocular power of the Mangekyou Sharingan can feed back into itself, enhancing its ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu in all aspects.

Even without using eye techniques, they would still be far ahead of the Uchiha with three tomoe.

Fugaku now wants to know if Kiyoshi's genius is due to the awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"It's not like Kiyoshi's ability is the fusion of bloodline limits..."

Fugaku speculated.

If Kiyoshi has a kaleidoscope, considering his development of many bloodline limits, it might be because of his eye technique.

But all of this is still speculation; there is no concrete evidence.

"Let's find a time to test the waters."

Fugaku went to get a glass of water.

Gurgle, gurgle.

His throat tightened, and his eyes glanced outwards unintentionally.

Just in time, you could see Mikoto's back in the tent.

Fugaku resisted the urge to go find Mikoto.

The future depicted in eye techniques may not be real.

He could tell that Mikoto was a traditional woman, not the kind of person who would have children easily.
"The Hidden Mist Village has already signed a peace treaty. The war will end after the final battle with the Hidden Cloud Village."

Fugaku put down his water glass.

The war has dragged on for so long that continuing it is pointless.

Both sides will inevitably gather their strength to complete the final battle.

The outcome of this battle will serve as the prelude to this Ninja World War.

…………

The next day.

After Kiyoshi washed up, he went outside and found Tsunade already waiting for him for a while.

"Get up so early?"

Qing Si asked casually.

"Finish it as soon as possible so we can go home."

Tsunade parted her cherry lips slightly and said.

She was quite experienced in negotiations and knew the process very well.

"Alright."

Qingsi nodded.

As the two were talking, Mei Terumi appeared before everyone, holding several scrolls in her hand.

"This is the scroll that was promised yesterday."

Mei Terumi tossed the scroll to Kiyoshi.

Breaking one's word is not in Mei Terumi's character.

The agreement made in public yesterday would damage the image of Wuyin if broken.

Qing Si accepted them one by one.

"The efficiency is good."

Qing Si carefully put all the scrolls away.

"Didn't you say you were going for a walk?"

Mei Terumi asked.

Upon hearing this, Kiyoshi looked at Tsunade.

"Don't worry about the guards, just stay here and play for a while."

Tsunade spoke.

This time, it wasn't just Kiyoshi who came; there were more than enough people to act as guards.

"it is good."

Qingsi nodded.

After Tsunade left, Mei Terumi began to take Seiji for a stroll through the nearby villages.

This was, of course, a suggestion made by Kiyoshi in order to obtain more entries.

There were few pedestrians on the street, and most of them looked numb.

The village is close to the front lines, so the villagers' lives are naturally not good.

Ninjas are few in number, yet they can overwhelmingly defeat ordinary people.

The Fourth Shinobi World War had long since spread outwards, affecting ordinary people and society.

The two eventually arrived at an izakaya (Japanese pub).

There were hardly any customers inside, making it feel quite deserted.

Is there anything else you'd like to see?

Mei Terumi's tone was somewhat cold.

If it weren't for the bet, she would never have brought Kiyoshi out to visit the village.

Ultimately, it was because she was too greedy. As long as she didn't agree to Qing Si's bet, nothing would have happened.

Since she has already agreed, she has only herself to blame.

"Gone."

Qingsi shook his head.

The village is small and there's nothing particularly interesting to see.

"Humph."

Mei Terumi gave a soft hum and sat down in her chair, saying nothing more.

The agreement with Kiyoshi was for one day, and there are still a few hours left until the end of today.

The two sides remained silent.

Mei Terumi didn't want to talk to Seiji either. After the sake was served, she stared blankly at the bubbles in the sake glass.

After an unknown amount of time, Mei Terumi, feeling a slight soreness in her neck, raised her head slightly.

Her gaze fell on Qing Si, and she noticed that Qing Si was already flipping through the scroll she had given him.

A short while later, Kiyoshi exhaled a thin stream of white mist.

The mist made the smooth surface of the wine glass in his hand slightly rough and uneven.

Mei Terumi's eyes widened.

"Just watching for a few hours..."

Terumi Mei's heart was stirred with emotion.

The difficulty of "boiling" escape is much greater than that of "melting" escape.

The gas that Kiyoshi just exhaled was less than one percent as powerful as her "Boiling" escape technique.

However, it should be noted that she has been training continuously ever since she mastered the "Boiling" and "Melting" techniques at the Ninja Academy.

How long did it take Qing Si?
This understanding of the nature of chakra, and the ability to manipulate chakra, has reached an extremely astonishing level.

She had never met such a person in her life.

This made Mei Terumi begin to doubt whether it would be appropriate to hand over the Third Tsuchikage's "Dust" Release, which transcends the bloodline limit, to Kiyoshi.

Could Kiyoshi also learn it in a short period of time?
"What's wrong? Are you surprised?"

Kiyoshi chuckled, picked up the wine glass on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.

The white mist he exhaled only corroded the surface layer; the liquid inside remained unaffected.

"Mei Terumi, haven't you ever wondered why I'm so strong?"

Qing Si suddenly asked.

"why?"

Terumi Mei blurted out.

As soon as she finished speaking, she began to regret it.

Kiyoshi is from the Uchiha clan, so isn't it normal for him to be strong?

Among the many bloodline limits, the Uchiha clan is among the most outstanding.

Not only does it increase basic panel attributes, it also grants the ability to see through chakra flow and copy ninjutsu.

And unparalleled genjutsu abilities; a single glance could render other ninjas ensnared by Sharingan genjutsu, making them impossible to defend against.

Most ninjas can only train themselves to fight by watching the enemy's toes, which limits their strength.

Do you know anything about "immortal arts"?

Kiyoshi said again.

"……Know."

Mei Terumi didn't understand what Kiyoshi was trying to say.

Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, was skilled in "Sage Mode," so various countries have conducted research on the obscure "Sage Mode."

Later, Kiyoshi Uchiha frequently used "Sage Mode," which further increased the popularity of "Sage Mode."

Unfortunately, the locations of the three holy lands are elusive and the difficulty of cultivation is extremely high.

Luck and talent are both indispensable.

"This power is actually very easy to master."

Flame-burning curse marks gradually appeared on Kiyoshi's body, resembling Sasuke's appearance when he activated the first stage of the curse mark.

He used the power of the cursed seal alone.

"The chakra has changed..."

Mei Terumi keenly noticed this.

"This can be achieved as long as the curse mark is planted."

Kiyoshi said it casually.

The izakayas here use traditional low tables.

Therefore, Terumi Mei is kneeling.

Mei Terumi is dressed the same way she did yesterday.

Kiyoshi could easily see Terumi Mei's bent thighs.

Black fishnet stockings encased her rounded thighs, the taut, slightly pale skin peeking out from the mesh, giving her a somewhat fleshy appearance.

That undisguised, burning gaze made Terumi Mei so angry she wanted to punch Kiyoshi.

However, her reason clearly told her that she couldn't do that.

Since the Hidden Mist Village is the one that took the initiative to seek peace, it must adopt a corresponding attitude of submission.

If war breaks out again, she will be a great sinner of Kirigakure.

Whether they can defeat Kiyoshi is another question altogether.

At this distance, she has no advantage against Kiyoshi.

So Mei Terumi forcefully suppressed her emotions, and even a smile began to appear on her lips.

She seemed to have transformed back into that languid and alluring beauty.

A ninja is someone who can endure.

Within the dark and oppressive blood mist, the crimson flowers that bloom will know better than anyone else how to endure.

"Why should I believe you?"

Mei Terumi asked, picked up the wine glass on the table, and took a small sip.

The supple lips instantly gained a more moisturizing color.

"Because you don't have time."

Kiyoshi took out a tube of black reagent.

Kiyoshi modified the cursed seal that Orochimaru gave him.

After analyzing that it was a pure curse mark, Kiyoshi had his puppet clone extract the enzymes from Jugo's cells.

Finally, he added his own cells, which then engulfed and adapted to the enzymes.

The final result is that the cursed seal will contain Kiyoshi's cells and chakra.

If Kiyoshi dies, he can be resurrected in a suitable host of the cursed seal.

Orochimaru used this principle.

However, he needs external help; other ninjas need to use his cells as a medium to recall his soul and thus revive him in the body of the cursed seal host.

Sasuke used this method to revive Orochimaru inside Anko and make him emerge.

"You're probably guessing that the Fourth Mizukage has been put under a genjutsu, right?"

Kiyoshi's casual words startled Terumi Mei so much that she almost jumped up from the tatami mat.

"!"

Mei Terumi gripped her wine glass tightly, her first thought being Ringo Ameyuri.

Did Ringo Ameyuri tell Kiyoshi about this?

How deep is their relationship?

At this moment, Mei Terumi began to suspect that Ringo Ameyuri was a spy left behind by Kiyoshi.

"Don't be surprised. Anyone who is smart and attentive can see the clues. I'm sure you're not the only one who has noticed."

Qingsi said calmly.

In the original work, many people noticed that Yagura Karatachi was acting strangely.

For example, Momochi Zabuza.

He wandered the ninja world, looking every bit the ambitious man.

In reality, Hozuki Suigetsu and others still called him a hero. Why would they call a rogue ninja a hero?
It was because he wanted to assassinate Yagura Karatachi through a coup and change everything in Kirigakure.

Unfortunately, he failed in the end. Zabuza Momochi escaped from the Land of Water and met Haku on the way. He also had a brief encounter with Kimimaro.

And they long for the day when they can return to Mist Village.

Even though he became a rogue ninja, there were no scratches on his Kirigakure headband.

Aside from Zabuza Momochi, Mangetsu Hozuki and Ao are also considered ambitious individuals.

Without them, Mei Terumi alone would have had no chance of overthrowing the Blood Mist Village and dethroning the Fourth Mizukage.

"...Ringo Ameyuri once told me that you could tell that the Fourth Mizukage had been shrouded in illusion."

Terumi Meido.

"Yes, I just mentioned it to her casually, but the reason you believe it now is probably because you already had some doubts."

Kiyoshi shook the curse seal reagent, and the liquid inside sloshed around.

Mei Terumi gripped the hem of her blue skirt tightly, her knuckles turning white.

She didn't know how Kiyoshi got the information, but the result was very likely as Kiyoshi had said.

Of course, the final result will only be known when they use the last remaining Byakugan of Kirigakure to observe the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi.

"With such an event, Kirigakure will inevitably fall into internal strife. Your desire to take advantage of this opportunity to become the Fifth Mizukage is inextricably linked to your strength."

Qingsi said calmly.

In the ninja world, no matter where you are, strength is the most important thing.

Hashirama is so easygoing that he can kneel down to those weaker than him, but would anyone dare to offend him?
Which of the original five Kage didn't fear Hashirama?

This is strength.

In the Blood Mist Land, where strength reigns supreme, such things become even more brutal and commonplace.

For Terumi to obtain the position of Mizukage during the chaotic period when Yagura Karatachi lost power, she must be stronger than the other Mizukage candidates.

According to the official guidebook of the "Book of Formations," Kirigakure regards the oldest elder in each generation as "elders," who are responsible for leading the village's political affairs.

The Mizukage is the strongest person in the village.

Therefore, Kirigakure, like Konoha and Sunagakure, practices a system of decentralization.

Water reflections cannot be used to make definitive judgments.

Kiyoshi's words lingered in Terumi Mei's heart.

Fifth generation Mizukage.

This has indeed been her goal all along.

From the day she resolved to change Kirigakure, Mei Terumi has been striving toward that goal.

"The next Mizukage may not necessarily be more conservative than the current Yagura Karatachi; he may even be more radical."

Kiyoshi tells Terumi Mei about a terrible future.

This is normal.

The new generation of Kirigakure who grew up in a distorted environment may well have some who wholeheartedly support such policies. Their minds will be more or less distorted and influenced by the survival-of-the-fittest mentality of the Blood Mist Village.

After all, in the original work, Yagura Karatachi was neglected because Ao saw through his illusion, not because the Blood Mist Village was too dark.

He later died at the hands of the Akatsuki organization, which allowed Mei Terumi to take over.

Now, thanks to his influence, Blood Mist Village has been in effect for several years longer than in the original story.

The deeper the darkness and contradictions accumulated in the hearts of the ninjas of Kirigakure, the less likely Yagura Karatachi would survive.

The coup will be more intense, and casualties are likely to occur during the process of breaking the illusion.

Illusions aren't something you can just break free of. Even with so many people surrounding Kurama (the Nine-Tails) and Obito controlling it, they couldn't wake it up.

"what do you want?"

Mei Terumi doesn't believe that Kiyoshi would make such a sacrifice for no reason.

She glanced at the cursed reagent in Qing Si's hand, trying to figure out his intentions.

For the sake of the village, Mei Terumi is willing to suppress past unpleasantness and temporarily forget the hatred for her comrades' deaths.

Kiyoshi said all that because he wanted to make some kind of deal with her.

Kiyoshi first looked Terumi Mei up and down, admiring her beautiful face, mature figure, and alluring charm.

After a long pause, he slowly said:
"After you become the Mizukage, you must give me some of the secret techniques unique to Kirigakure."

Kiyoshi said.

The more bloodline limits he synthesizes, the closer he can revert to the Otsutsuki clan.

Becoming an Otsutsuki is considered an evolution of the essence of life.

At least this is the path to godhood that the entire ninja world has been shown to take.

Otsutsuki Shibai is the best example; he transcended this universe and entered other dimensions.

Mei Terumi frowned slightly.

She had some expectation that Kiyoshi would ask for the secret technique.

"I can……"

"besides……"

Kiyoshi interrupted Terumi Mei, indicating that the story wasn't over yet.

"I need you to help me increase my pupil power."

Kiyoshi took out a chain.

Mei Terumi looked at Kiyoshi with a puzzled expression.

When Qing Si explained the purpose of the chains, his expression changed drastically.

"What, don't you want to become the Mizukage and change the Blood Mist Village? Think about the innocent villagers and ninjas who died."

Kiyoshi's words were seductive.

Sasuke knew perfectly well that Orochimaru had ulterior motives towards him, and that he was in great danger.

Why would they rather betray their village to follow Orochimaru and obtain the power of the cursed seal?

The reason is simple: it's a shortcut.

Growing up in the sheltered environment of Konoha, Sasuke would never be able to make rapid progress.

The "Sage Techniques" of the three great holy lands will not be available to Sasuke; he lacks connections and channels.

Mei Terumi is currently in such a predicament.

Eager to change the darkness within the Blood Mist, yet unsure where to begin.

The power of the cursed seal is enough to multiply Mei Terumi's strength several times over.

With the added power of "Boiling" and "Melting" escape techniques, their strength will reach a new level.

laugh!
Kiyoshi leaned forward and bit down on Mei Terumi's neck, injecting the chakra of the cursed seal into her blood vessels through his teeth.

Mei Terumi's pupils contracted as she felt a chill on her neck.

"Okay, you can try out the sample first."

Kiyoshi smiled slightly, sat back down, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a tissue.

Just as Mei Terumi was about to get angry, a sharp pain surged through her body.

She was in so much pain that her face turned pale and she broke out in a cold sweat.

After the pain, a completely new energy surged within Terumi Mei's body.

A pattern of three black magatama appeared from Mei Terumi's neck.

"You felt it, didn't you? Natural energy."

Qingsi spoke.

Mei Terumi didn't reply, but instead extended her palm and tried to shake it.

She could feel that her physical fitness had improved.

Then, she turned her gaze to Kiyoshi.

Kiyoshi wasn't lying!

The cursed seal genuinely enhanced her strength.

Seeing the subtle change in Mei Terumi's expression, Kiyoshi smiled slightly.

The final step is complete.

That is to place sufficiently tempting bait in the trap.

"This is still a prototype; just imagine how powerful the finished product will be."

Kiyoshi placed the incantation reagent on the table.

This is a spell seal he created by combining the "Ghost Sprout Technique".

With the tireless research and training of his puppet clones from the Land of Grass, Kiyoshi completed the clinical trial in a short period of time.

Some animals are able to use the power of the seal to a basic extent.

Qing Si also prepared a set for the White Snake.

Later on, Kiyoshi planned to create a cursed seal that would transform her into human form.

Orochimaru's cursed seal on Mizuki contained a large amount of tiger genetic material, which is why he could transform into a tiger.

Kiyoshi could also think in reverse and try to get more of his genetic material into the cursed seal.

At that time, the white snake will be able to transform into human form.

Of course, all of this is still under development.

The curse seal in Kiyoshi's hand is version 1.0.

Mei Terumi was the first human experimental subject.

Kiyoshi was eager to see what kind of data feedback he would receive.

It also increases pupil power incidentally, making it a win-win situation.

The private room fell silent instantly.

After a long while, Mei Terumi nodded with difficulty.

……

A light white mist lingered around the village.

The streets were deserted, with most people keeping their doors tightly shut to avoid offending the ninja who held the power of life and death.

After all... ninjas are exempt from punishment for killing.

"There's so much fog, don't you think?"

In one of the deserted alleyways, Mei Terumi was keeping her bet and taking Seiji for a stroll.

However, she now had a chain around her body.

The chains were around her neck, originating from Kiyoshi's hands.

This scene resembles the "Gedo Mazo" using chakra chains to bind all the tailed beasts by the neck, rendering them unable to move.

Mei Terumi didn't say anything, she just kept walking.

Upon seeing this, Kiyoshi stopped.

Mei Terumi, who was walking in front, was almost pulled to the ground by the chains.

She turned her head and glared fiercely at Qing Si.

"Visiting a village, if you walk so fast, what scenery can you possibly see?"

A crimson glint appeared in Kiyoshi's eyes as he admired Mei Terumi's unwillingness to give up, yet forced to bite her lip and pretend nothing had happened for the sake of the cursed seal's power.

The future Mizukage left behind a dark chapter in his history at this moment.

I'm afraid that once Mei Terumi achieves fame and success in the future, no ninja will dare to believe this anecdote.

"Then take your time reading it."

Terumi Mei frowned.

After leisurely admiring the village's unique architecture for a while, Kiyoshi began to walk forward.

Crack!

The electric arc traveled along the chain, directly into Mei Terumi's meridian system from her neck.

The violent lightning chakra roamed freely within her body.

Mei Terumi, stunned, trembled and almost used her best water-style ninjutsu to counter Kiyoshi's lightning-style ninjutsu.

She gritted her teeth and quickly followed Qing Si's pace.

As lunchtime approached, the streets gradually became more crowded.

Mei Terumi followed Kiyoshi with trepidation, praying that no one would take the shortcut.

"Hehehe..."

A low laugh escaped, as if he had seen something amusing.

The person who laughed was Ringo Ameyuri.

She saw Seiji and Terumi Mei taking their unique walk, and it became increasingly difficult for her to hide the shark teeth at the corners of her mouth.

"The aloof Mei Terumi still needs Kiyoshi to handle her."

Lin Yuyu felt happy.

Mei Terumi always puts on a mature act.

Sometimes she would even turn around and lecture her, who was her senior.

As a result, they are now being severely punished.

She wasn't the only one persecuted by Qing Si!

…………

night.

A place where the Hidden Mist ninja rest.

"Mei Terumi, why are you wearing a scarf?"

Hozuki Mangetsu asked curiously.

I've never seen Mei Terumi wear a scarf.

"Can't I be afraid of the cold?"

Mei Terumi glanced coldly at Mangetsu Hozuki and gripped the cursed seal reagent in her hand.

He lowered his head and walked towards his room.

She couldn't wait to try out the finished product of the cursed seal.

Feeling the marks left by the scarf, Terumi Mei quickened her pace.

The teacher used barbarian techniques to subdue the barbarians.

Sooner or later, she will make Kiyoshi pay the price he paid today! (End of Chapter)
