Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

"What do you mean?"

Hinatsuki Hinata's thoughts raced, unable to understand the meaning of Kiyoshi's words.

It is neither Riji's child nor his child.

Whose child is it?
"Your child."

Kiyoshi pointed to Hyuga Hinazuki.

Hinatsuki Hyuga looked down at herself blankly.

Isn't what Kiyoshi said obvious?

You may not know who the father is, but every child's mother is definitely the child's biological mother.

"hehe."

Qingsi smiled.

He knew that Hinatsuki Hyuga had not grasped the true meaning of it.

So he explained:
"The baby in your belly is a clone that is very similar to you."

"!"

Hinatsuki Hyuga was startled.

She gave birth to herself?
"Don't be afraid. It's called cloning, but it's really just using your cells to culture a container."

A crimson light flashed in Kiyoshi's eyes.

The Sharingan can see through the flow of chakra, and as the power of the eye increases, it can see even more clearly.

Of course, there is an upper limit to this.

No matter what, it can't compare to the clarity of the Hyuga clan's Byakugan. With just a pair of Byakugan, one can see the human body's internal organs, bones, and every meridian system.

Kiyoshi was not worried about this.

He already possesses the Hyuga clan's "farsight" ability, a bonus granted to him by the entry.

This means that he already has some of Hinata's genetic material in his blood.

As he embarks on the path of atavism, he will inevitably gain insights into other bloodline limits.

"……What's the meaning?"

Hinatsuki Hinata didn't quite understand the meaning behind Kiyoshi's words.

What's the point of cultivating a container?

"Naturally, it's to conduct experiments and see if there is a predetermined destiny for our birth."

Qingsi said calmly.

Regardless of whether it's Hinata or not, the child in her womb is likely to be of extremely high purity.

Bloodline disease is actually a disease caused by being too outstanding.

He inherited too many bloodline limits, but his physical body couldn't handle them.

Like Itachi, he contracted a serious illness at a young age.

This is partly due to the fact that the kaleidoscope was activated at a young age; if it were too young, it wouldn't be able to withstand the feedback from the pupil's power.

You have to understand that chakra is a combination of physical and mental energy. How could a ninja who has been tempered and trained for thousands of years still suffer from a serious illness?

Hinatsuki Hyuga died not long after giving birth to Hanabi Hyuga in the original story.

This resulted in Hinata and Hanabi growing up relying on each other, and the rigid Hiashi Hyuga didn't show them much fatherly love.

Only at the end did they realize that Boruto showed a special affection for his grandson Boruto and granddaughter Himawari.

This is precisely because Hinatsuki Hyuga's Byakugan has a very high purity.

The cloned and optimized body will surpass her in Byakugan purity.

As for how much it can surpass, that remains to be seen.

Kiyoshi does not yet possess the ability to edit genes at will.

Decades later, with the advancement of technology, Orochimaru spent a great deal of time cultivating Mitsuki, who could be born with "Sage Mode" and had accumulated many superior genes.

Currently, in cloning research, besides Orochimaru who is at the forefront, the rest are mostly Sanzu Amama.

He is an underling of Isshiki Otsutsuki and a member of the Kara organization.

In order to revive his daughter Akabby, who died from a terminal illness, he began to conduct crazy scientific research. During this time, he used his expertise in cloning technology to clone Deluda, who looked exactly like his daughter but had a completely opposite personality.

This is a typical symptom of going astray.

Science is good, but it must be combined with ninjutsu.

There are at least six or seven resurrection techniques in the ninja world, if not all of them are commonplace.

The simplest resurrection technique is the "Impure World Reincarnation Technique," which uses only a trace of the deceased's DNA to create a body and then allow the deceased's soul to come from the Pure Land, thus achieving the purpose of resurrection.

The only flaw is that it is not a real physical body.

"What's your purpose?"

Hinata Hinazuki stared intently at Kiyoshi.

She found it difficult to see through this man and couldn't understand his logic at all.

Yet he still exuded a calm and composed air, as if everything was under his control.

"You don't have to worry about it."

Kiyoshi ran his index finger along Hinatsuki Hinatsuki's delicate collarbone, then up her neck, lifting her chin.

As their eyes met, Kiyoshi said:

"You don't need to know that. I want you to bring the silver flower to help me with my cultivation."

A sinister glint appeared at the corner of Kiyoshi's mouth.

Hinatsuki Hyuga felt a chill in her heart and instinctively wanted to back away.

But she noticed that Kiyoshi's brows were slightly furrowed, and the nonchalant aura he exuded made Hinata Hyuga feel intimidated.

She suddenly remembered that Kiyoshi had achieved outstanding results in the Third Shinobi World War.

He captured the Raikage, defeated the Eight-Tails, and single-handedly turned the tide of the final battle in Kumogakure.

Even now, Kumogakure has not yet redeemed the Fourth Raikage.

The two-tailed jinchūriki that Kiyoshi captured a long time ago is still in the village's jail.

That's because they were all captured by the Qing authorities and imprisoned in the police department's jail.

In other words, Kiyoshi had considerable decision-making power over these two individuals.

After the war ended, the position of commander of the Qingji reconnaissance unit was dissolved.

But his power cannot be ignored by others.

At Kiyoshi's suggestion, Konoha did not sell the Two-Tails Jinchuriki and the Fourth Raikage.

Instead, they proposed to wait until Kumogakure had recovered somewhat before resuming negotiations.

This is done in order to extract more profits.

The current Yunyin has nothing to offer.

As the war dragged on, all five major powers became impoverished nations.

We urgently need to revitalize our economy and allow it to recover and thrive.

"Alright, let's go back now. Come back later."

Kiyoshi's tone seemed to soften a bit as he gently stroked Hinatsuki's face.

Hinatsuki Hyuga stiffened slightly, and could only let Kiyoshi touch her face.

This is something even Hiashi Hyuga has never done.

But what could she do?

Hinatsuki Hyuga felt that the future was shrouded in darkness.

"...And Hiashi's illness..."

"This will require some time to study."

Qingsi said.

All of a person's troubles stem from the root of all troubles.

After Hyuga Hiashi no longer had the root of afflictions, his afflictions dissipated considerably.

There are even rumors now that Hyuga Hiashi is "Hyuga Tennin".

Within the Hyuga clan, only the most talented of geniuses can receive such a title.

He is... helping Hyuga Hiashi reach a higher level.

"Does it take time?"

Unfortunately, Hinatsuki Hinata couldn't understand Kiyoshi's good intentions and looked distressed.

"If the two ladies discuss the 'Gentle Fist Technique' with me in the evening, revealing more of its essence, our research might proceed more quickly."

Kiyoshi bent down and gently kissed her, then lowered his hand and opened the box that Hinatsuki Hyuga had brought.

Hinatsuki Hyuga was finally able to exhale, like a fish that had fallen ashore and returned to the water.

Kiyoshi put too much pressure on her.

She dared not make any wiping motions, for fear of displeasing Qing Si.

Click.

The box was opened, revealing only ordinary items. Kiyoshi glanced at them and then closed the box.

It's just a box of gold.

The "Dull Knife - Helmet Cut" that Kiyoshi sold was worth more than that price.

Hinata Hinazuki silently said "Yes," and took her leave.

Walking through the Uchiha settlement, she wiped away tears as she went.

Sage of Six Paths, what a failure the world you created is!

Why would a demon like Kiyoshi exist?
Hinata Hinazuki couldn't help but look up at the sky, thinking about her tragic fate.

The only positive thing is that my symptoms have lessened considerably.

Looking at the timeline, it seems that this happened after it was filled up.

Hinata couldn't help but think of Kiyoshi's face again.

She quickly shook her head and walked onto Konoha Street.

……

Hinatsuki Hyuga's arrival was just a minor incident.

After leaving, Kiyoshi summoned Honglian to assess her abilities.

A ninja's skills must be constantly improved.

Aside from Kiyoshi, who has bonuses from the attribute panel and whose values ​​never change.

Human beings, if they do not engage in corresponding spiritual practice for a long time, will become rusty in their movements and forget their knowledge.

Naruto, who had spent over a decade sitting in an office and was once one of the top fighters in the ninja world, was stabbed in the stomach by an ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan user, Shin Uchiha.

Without the regenerative abilities of the Nine-Tails and the Whirlpool, such damage would be fatal; anyone else would have met with death.

"Lord Kiyoshi, I can also now use 'Crystal Release: Emerald Maze Technique', 'Crystal Release: Crystal-Breaking Dragon Subduing Technique', and 'Crystal Release: Emerald Prison'..."

Honglian rattled off all the secret techniques she knew, her face beaming with a "please praise me" expression.

In the original story, she was attracted by Orochimaru's power and eventually became his subordinate.

Now that a powerful and gentle man named Kiyoshi has arrived, she immediately wishes she could do anything for him, even die for him.

"It's awesome."

Kiyoshi patted Honglian's little head.

Kiyoshi never hesitated to praise his loyal subordinates.

At the same time, he was thinking about how to build up his own power base.

Within the Uchiha clan, he needed his own trusted confidants.

Otherwise, even someone as powerful as Madara Uchiha would have been ostracized and distanced by this group of clansmen with somewhat abnormal thought processes.

In Konoha, Kiyoshi also needs his own team.

Whether you're the Hokage or hold a high position in Konoha, you can't do without subordinates.

Honglian's current strength is already quite impressive.

The fact that she can use "Crystal Release: Emerald Crystal Maze Technique" means that she can also use "Crystal Release: Eight Trigrams Eight Directions Formation".

These two techniques are a set.

"Crystal Release: Eight Trigrams Eight Directions Formation" involves planting an eight-sided emerald seed generated by "Crystal" Release into the ground. It has the effect of a reconnaissance ninjutsu. After completion, you can use a crystal ball outside the formation to observe the enemy's movements.

The subsequent "Crystal Escape: Emerald Maze Technique" can generate a "Crystal" barrier with a diameter of one kilometer around the boundary of the "Crystal Escape: Eight Trigrams Eight Directions Formation".

This is no ordinary barrier; under the interference of "Crystal" Release, even the Byakugan's abilities will be blocked.

Therefore, the "Crystal" escape also aroused Kiyoshi's interest.

"Now, please demonstrate them to me one by one."

Kiyoshi and Kurenai's figures flashed simultaneously.

When they finally appeared, they had already arrived in the Land of Grass.

Kiyoshi can now use the "Flying Thunder God Technique" to carry others across such a long distance without consuming too much chakra, so he doesn't need to keep eating soldier pills.

……

Noon, Hokage Building.

"The Kazekage has sent a letter requesting reinforcements. It seems they are locked in a fierce battle with Kirigakure."

Hiruzen Sarutobi put down the letter and looked up at his old friends in the Hokage's office.

His time as Hokage is running out.

The village is currently preparing for the selection of a Hokage candidate.

Once everything is ready, the selection process will begin, and then we will wait for the best candidate to become the Hokage.

At that time, he will retire completely.

However, even after retiring, he was still able to help the Hokage with some administrative matters, just like he is now the Hokage's advisor.

"We can send some ninjas over; we are interdependent."

Mitomon En spoke up.

Once Sunagakure is defeated by Kirigakure, it will threaten Konoha.

The peace agreement signed now will become a worthless piece of paper.

"Alright."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, pondering which people to choose.

"There are quite a few people who want to run for Hokage this time."

Xiaochun, who was switching dorm rooms, came in with a set of organized documents.

"Becoming Hokage is a dream that even a three-year-old has, which is normal."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled with satisfaction. Even his unfilial son, Asuma, had dreamed of becoming Hokage.

However, recently he's been arguing with him about wanting to become one of the twelve guardian ninja of the daimyo.

The current daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Land of Demons are still in the village, seemingly waiting for the aftermath of the war to pass.

The absence of large-scale wars does not mean the absence of various wandering ninjas, rogue ninjas, bandit groups, and so on.

These things need time to heal.

"Where is the leader of the Roots?"

Danzo Shimura frowned and asked.

This was the second thing he cared about besides the position of Hokage.

The position of leader at the root is still vacant.

He currently only has a few trusted confidants at his disposal and cannot openly use too many people from the core group.

Currently, he only holds the position of Hokage advisor.

"We need to think about it more."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Danzo Shimura.

Danzo Shimura colluded with Hanzo of the Salamander in the Land of Rain, and was stripped of his position as the leader of the Root.

Looking back now, it seems that his old comrade-in-arms still had quite a few tricks up his sleeve and schemes.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not blame Danzo Shimura too much.

Light and shadow are always two sides of the same coin.

If a village wants to develop, it cannot avoid the darkness deep within, in addition to the bright side of development.

The secret service sometimes does these things, and their hands get stained with blood.

Kakashi used to be like that; once he accepted a mission, he would carry it out regardless of who the target was, and he would leave no enemy alive.

His bloodthirsty and ruthless side also drew dissatisfaction from some of his colleagues.

It was only after Kiyoshi's arrival that these matters were suppressed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was very satisfied, which shows that there is a "bond" between Kakashi and Kiyoshi.

"Bonds" not only enabled Kakashi to emerge from darkness, but also made Kiyoshi loyal to the village.

"Hmph, does the Uchiha clan even qualify to run for Hokage this time?"

Danzo Shimura then asked about another matter.

"Qingsi's achievement this time is too great."

Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled.

Moreover, this was something promised to the Uchiha clan.

Originally, the plan was just to have someone from the Uchiha clan participate as a substitute, but now it seems that someone can actually threaten Minato Namikaze's chances of becoming Hokage.

He favored Minato Namikaze, but he couldn't make a decision in front of so many ninja clans.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be obvious that the position of Hokage can only be passed down through the Hokage lineage?

…………

Upon returning to the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hinazuki immediately went to find Hyuga Ginka.

"Hinazuki, what brings you here?"

Hyuga Ginka was clearly surprised by Hyuga Hinazuki's arrival.

The two hadn't seen each other for a while.

She was among the last group to return from the battlefield.

War is not something that can be ended just like that; it requires the full support of the national machinery of the Land of Fire.

Many things need to be done slowly.

The transportation of supplies, the dismantling of camps and outposts, the order in which the ninjas returned, and so on.

It is also necessary to leave some ninjas behind to keep watch, lest smaller countries think that the Land of Fire is weak and take the opportunity to invade.

Or perhaps other major powers launched a surprise attack.

These are all things we must guard against.

"It's...about Nobuhiko."

Hinata Hinazuki immediately took Hinata Ginka's fair hand, and the two sat together like best friends, chatting hand in hand.

"what?"

Hyuga Ginka was puzzled when she heard about Hyuga Nobuhiko.

What would the Hyuga clan possibly have left to say about Hyuga Nobuhiko now?

Because he lost his Byakugan, he could no longer act with the other Hyuga and was instead assigned to a regular team.

"One eye roll."

Hinatsuki Hinata spoke softly, exhaling a warm vortex of air.

Suddenly, she remembered that she had rushed back to the Hyuga clan without even wiping her lips.

It seems there's still the warmth of Kiyoshi kissing her lips on it...

Her gaze towards her best friend, Hinata Ginka, suddenly held a complex expression.

His actions could be described as setting Hinata Ginka up in the wrong.

Hinata Hinazuki thought sadly that after today, her best friend's friendship would probably become like a plastic flower.

“Uchiha Kiyoshi got the Byakugan, and she said that the two of us should go and beg him together.”

Hinatsuki Hinata continued.

"Together?"

Hinata Ginka had a vague sense of foreboding. Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she gazed intently at Hinata Hinazuki's sickly beautiful face.

A conflict began to arise in my mind.

On the one hand, there was unease about the Qing Dynasty.

One aspect is the trust in one's best friend.

"Yes, that's what Uchiha Kiyoshi requested."

Hinatsuki Hyuga nodded.

To persuade Hinata Ginka to go, she continued:
"Think about it, if the Hyuga clan were to reclaim the Byakugan, wouldn't it return to Nobuhiko, allowing him to become a true member of the Hyuga clan again, instead of being an 'outsider' who only has the Hyuga surname..."

Hinatsuki Hyuga wisely refrained from using clan honor to morally bind Ginka Hyuga.

They've always used Hyuga Nobuhiko as bait.

Seeing her best friend's obvious expression of attraction, Hinata Hinazuki couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

There was nothing she could do.

I am not a member of the clan leader's lineage.

If Kiyoshi were to reveal that the child was merely a clone of hers, all her efforts so far would have been in vain.

"Okay, I'll go."

After hesitating for more than ten minutes, Hinata Ginka nodded.

Hinata Nobuhiko's life is miserable now.

His own people discriminated against him, and outsiders also treated him as a joke.

With Hyuga Nobuhiko regaining one Byakugan, things will definitely be much better.

……

In the afternoon, at Xi Ri's house.

"So that's what's needed here."

Kurenai nodded as if she understood, and looked at Kiyoshi sitting opposite her.

After the war ended, Kurenai Yuhi started pestering Kiyoshi again to teach her illusion magic.

"Oh, by the way, my father bought some new tea."

As if remembering something, Kurenai left the room.

A short while later, she placed another cup of tea in front of Qing Si.

"New tea?"

Kiyoshi picked it up and took a bite; it was indeed a flavor he had never tasted before.

I'd guess they're from some small country.

"Is Senior Crimson still on the battlefield?"

Qingsi asked.

After Hinatsuki Hinata left, Kiyoshi went to Kurenai Yuhi's house.

While teaching her illusion magic, Kiyoshi was also reviewing what he had learned.

"Ah."

Yuhi Hong nodded.

"My father won't be back until next month."

As soon as Kurenai finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and continued to say to Kiyoshi:
"So you can keep coming to my house to teach me illusion magic this month."

"Yeah."

Qingsi smiled slightly.

He was in Kurenai's boudoir.

This place is filled with all sorts of things that girls like, as well as some cute dolls.

Even though it's Kurenai Yuhi, at her current age, she still likes cute things.

"Let's continue learning."

Kiyoshi said.

Genjutsu (illusion techniques) places more emphasis on theoretical knowledge than regular ninjutsu, requiring an understanding of when to use them and knowledge of human anatomy.

Kiyoshi extended his hand, gesturing for Kurenai to lower it.

Under his development, the "Chaos Rush" technique is first taught to the patient to get used to it a few times before the patient is taught the theoretical knowledge and then practiced on their own, which makes it much more efficient.

"Ah."

Kurenai said softly, placing her small hand on Kiyoshi's large hand.

This isn't the first time.

However, this act, which was always similar to holding hands, made Kurenai Yuhi a little nervous.

She glanced at Qing Si secretly, and when Qing Si looked over, she immediately looked away quietly.

"Okay, try it yourself."

After a while, Kiyoshi let go of her hand.

"it is good."

Kurenai was reluctant to let go of the lingering warmth on her hands, but Kiyoshi was still looking at her, and she was too embarrassed to do anything else.

He formed hand seals and began to cast an illusion spell on Kiyoshi.

"Excellent, perfectly constructed."

Kiyoshi willingly gave up resisting and fell into the illusion.

This is a labyrinth constructed by illusion, which can make the victim lose their way and get lost.

With Kiyoshi's enormous chakra reserves, he could break through this illusionary labyrinth at any time.

"hey-hey."

A smile spread across Xi Rihong's pretty face.

She was very happy to receive Kiyoshi's praise.

She then used several illusions on Kiyoshi, and they all worked quite well.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, casting a long shadow on the doll on the table.

"Should we learn ninjutsu next?"

After finishing her training in illusion magic, Kurenai Yuhi said expectantly.

Actually, she was quite tired from studying today.

In order to spend more time with Kiyoshi, Kurenai wanted to continue her studies.

As long as she continues to study, Kiyoshi will continue to accompany her.

This feeling was something that Kurenai cherished and was also fascinated by.

"Ninjutsu, let me think about what to teach today."

Qing Si hesitated for a moment, just as he was about to say something, when there was a sound of the door opening outside.

Kurenai was quite surprised.

Who would open her door?

Thief?

"Wasn't Uncle Zhenhong supposed to stay on the battlefield until next month? Why did he suddenly come back?"

Sarutobi Asuma's voice came from the living room.

"They completed their mission ahead of schedule, so I came back early as well."

As she closed the door, Yuhi Shinku answered Sarutobi Asuma.

Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi grew up together and knew each other very well. Kurenai Yuhi didn't have any particular reaction to Asuma Sarutobi coming to find her.

Moreover, Sarutobi Asuma was the son of the Hokage.

He will become the former Hokage in a while.

Kurenai Yuhi sighed; time really flies.

Before we knew it, it was time to select a new Hokage. We wondered what changes that would bring to the village.

"My father is back?"

Hearing her father's voice, Kurenai Yuhi paused for a moment.

This is not what she expected.

Her little face immediately showed a look of tension.

She had never brought a boy into her boudoir.

Kiyoshi was the first man besides his father.

Even her father stopped coming in when she was very young.

"Red, are you inside?"

Sarutobi Asuma knocked on the bedroom door. (End of Chapter)
