Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

"Asuma, what brings you to my house?"

Kurenai did not open the door immediately.

Sarutobi Asuma has never entered her boudoir, let alone with her father outside. How will he explain this?
"I've come to talk to you about something."

Sarutobi Asuma coughed tactically.

What he wanted to say was about his ambition to become one of the twelve guardian ninja of the daimyo.

When the Daimyo leaves Konoha, he will leave with him.

It will be a long time before I see Kurenai again.

"what?"

Yuhi Hong asked.

"I...may be gone for a long time."

Sarutobi Asuma spoke in a somewhat dejected tone.

If possible, he would naturally want to stay with Kurenai Yuhi and be by her side forever.

However, this makes it impossible to quickly grow and broaden one's horizons.

It will be weaker than Qing Si.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Asuma clenched his fist.

Everyone thought he was the Hokage's foolish son, only benefiting from Hiruzen Sarutobi's fame.

Even in matters of the heart, he did not gain anything of his own.

Sarutobi Asuma knew very well that Yuhi Kurenai was getting closer to Kiyoshi.

But he had no choice but to improve himself so that his future self would be qualified to meet Kurenai Yuhi.

"The Twelve Guardian Ninjas?"

Kurenai Yuhi vaguely remembered hearing Sarutobi Asuma mention this incident.

"Yes, that's it."

Sarutobi Asuma nodded from outside the door.

"So it might be several months, or even next year, before I can come back."

Sarutobi Asuma's tone was uncertain.

Whether a daimyo's guard has time to serve depends on the daimyo's schedule.

If the daimyo is always busy and frequently visits various places, then as a guard, he probably won't be able to get away.

The time until we return may be longer.

"So, can Hong come out first?"

Sarutobi Asuma just wants to see Kurenai Yuhi's face right now.

"Wait a moment."

Kurenai Yuhi quickly replied.

She turned her head to look at Qing Si and asked in a low voice what to do.

Kiyoshi observed the girl's flustered expression with great interest.

It was less because of Sarutobi Asuma and more because of the return of Yuhi Shinku.

Kurenai, who was always a well-behaved girl, secretly let a boy into her boudoir, and the two of them spent a long time alone together.

The old-fashioned Makoto Yuhi would definitely not like something like this.

After all, Kurenai was her only daughter.

"I also possess the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'."

Kiyoshi lowered his head and used his hand to lift Kurenai's chin, causing her gaze to continuously shift upwards.

"This flustered red is also quite cute."

Kiyoshi smiled.

It's all about the process of developing a habit; the enjoyment comes from that process.

"Don't bully me."

A slight blush rose on Yuhi's cheeks as she playfully patted Kiyoshi's chest.

Calling it cute is just too much.

"How about this, I'll use the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to leave the room, then come back upstairs as if I'm paying a visit?"

Kiyoshi proposed a solution.

"Okay."

Kurenai thought about it and realized that this might be a good method.

Space-time ninjutsu is so elusive that it's impossible for anyone to detect it.

Then she will be able to go out openly and talk with Asma and her father.

"But..."

Kiyoshi's tone suddenly turned deep, as if he was about to say something extraordinary.

"But what?"

Kurenai continued following Kiyoshi's words.

"It would be too cold to leave like this. How about we do it this way?"

Kiyoshi leaned closer to his face.

As Kiyoshi approached, Yuhi's face flushed even more, and the lines of her nose appeared very defined under the light and shadow.

Perhaps because she had raised her eyes, her long, thick eyelashes were still trembling slightly.

Kiyoshi's gaze shifted to Yuhi Kurenai's soft, glossy lips.

As Kiyoshi's breath touched her face, a sense of tension rose within Kurenai.

Such stimulation was a bit too much for her.

Nervous, she was as flustered as a fawn, but with nowhere to escape, she could only turn her face away.

Kiyoshi's hand touched the flushed face of the evening sun, causing it to turn back.

He reached out and gently stroked the snow-white skin on Xi Rihong's face.

Finally, Kiyoshi gave him a gentle kiss.

Kurenai's shoulders trembled involuntarily as she realized that Kiyoshi had taken her lips.

Gradually, the body, which had been stiff from tension, softened.

After a long while, Kiyoshi raised his head.

Kurenai's eyes opened as well, and her once bright and lively eyes flickered slightly.

It seemed to be a mixture of confusion, panic, and excitement.

Even the back of her neck had a blush.

"Then I'll go first."

Kiyoshi licked his lips, then vanished in a flash.

Looking at the empty room, Kurenai Yuhi subconsciously touched her lips.

It was as if Kiyoshi had never left, but was still by my side.

"red?"

Sarutobi Asuma's voice rang out.

He waited outside the door for a long time, and doubts began to creep into his heart.

Why does it take so long?

Suddenly, a possibility rushed into Sarutobi Asuma's mind.

Contrast.

He thought of this word.

It is said that some girls are glamorous and polite on the outside, but their homes are very dirty and messy.

Could Hong be secretly tidying things up inside?
Click.

While Sarutobi Asuma was lost in thought, the door finally opened.

"Hong, you're out."

Sarutobi Asuma first looked at Kurenai Yuhi and thought her face was stunningly beautiful, as lovely as a flower.

For a moment, I was almost mesmerized.

Once he came to his senses, Sarutobi Asuma discreetly observed Kurenai Yuhi's room.

The interior was very clean and tidy; the only messy place was the table, on which were several open scrolls.

Sarutobi Asuma understood; this must be Kurenai diligently training.

He can't fall behind either.

At this moment, Sarutobi Asuma's determination to become one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja and make a name for himself became even stronger.

"What's on my face?"

Kurenai's expression was subtle; she thought Sarutobi Asuma had seen through something.

Even now, she still feels somewhat bewildered.

Kiyoshi just took her...first kiss.

So, was Kiyoshi's first kiss also his own?
Kurenai thought about it and agreed!

Little did they know, every woman considered Kiyoshi her first kiss.

If Kiyoshi knew, he would definitely agree, saying, "That's right, my first kiss refreshes at midnight every day..."

"Have some tea, Asma."

Yuhi Makoto went and made herself a cup of tea.

While making tea, he noticed that some of the tea bags had been used.

He didn't think much of it, assuming it was just because his daughter liked to drink this.

He was thinking to himself that next time he went to the tea-buying place for a mission, he should buy more tea.

Sarutobi Asuma responded and returned to the living room to sit on the sofa.

Kurenai Yuhi also sat on the sofa, about fifty centimeters away from Asuma Sarutobi, leaving a gap between them.

As they sat down, Sarutobi Asuma explained his plan to the two of them, what to do first, and how to use the Twelve Guardian Ninja as a resource.

"That's good, it's great that you have such an ideal."

The setting sun, a deep crimson, bowed its head.

Young people should be like this, full of ideas and energy.

He strongly supports Sarutobi Asuma in doing such things.

dong dong.

Suddenly, there was another knock on the door.

Kurenai's eyes lit up for a moment, but she still suppressed the expression on her face.

Pretend to be nonchalant and walk past with a sense of doubt.

"Strange, who's here?"

As she spoke, Kurenai opened the door.

“It’s me, Hong.”

The person outside the door is Kiyoshi.

"Qingsi, you're here too?"

Sarutobi Asuma's eyes widened.

Is this also a trace of the Qing Si?

He had finally decided to express his feelings to Hong.

"Can't I come?"

Qing Si countered with a question.

"Uh, of course."

Sarutobi Asuma said.

Kiyoshi entered from outside and sat in the middle of the sofa.

Seeing this, Kurenai sat down in the left seat.

Sarutobi Asuma is to Kiyoshi's right.

When new guests arrived, Yuhi Mako greeted Kiyoshi and then went into the kitchen to get busy.

The three then chatted casually, and Kurenai Yuhi also told Kiyoshi about the Twelve Guardian Ninjas.

"Shall we become one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja?"

Kiyoshi glanced at Sarutobi Asuma.

Hidden in the shadows, Sarutobi Asuma now plans to become one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja.

During this time, he will meet Jiriku, a ninja monk from the Fire Temple who is also one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja.

Jiriku possesses something called "Talent of the Immortal Clan," which is possessed by all the ninja monks in the Fire Temple, and Jiriku is the best among them.

Finally, Jiraiya taught Sarutobi Asuma the "Talent of the Former Clan," and Sarutobi Asuma learned the special ability within it, "Welcoming Thousand Hands Kill."

This ninjutsu can create chakra shape transformations similar to those of the Thousand-Armed Kannon, combining offense and defense.

It is also a rare type of chakra that can be materialized, and can form a chakra envelope around itself, just like "Susanoo".

"Talent of the Immortal Clan" can form a chakra condensation similar to that of the Thousand-Armed Guanyin.

This move is sufficient for both attack and defense, but it lacks mobility.

Therefore, Sarutobi Asuma rarely used it, and Jiraiya was defeated by Hidan and Kakuzu's siege due to insufficient mobility.

"Since you want to go, then go and see."

Kiyoshi said.

Once Sarutobi Asuma returns, he can extract the information about the "Talent of the Immortal Clan" from him.

If that doesn't work, then let Kurenai Yuhi ask Asuma Sarutobi to give it to her.

Finally, I'll give the last piece of Kurenai to myself.

"Well……"

Kurenai suddenly let out a small gasp.

She glanced furtively at her father in the kitchen, then turned to look at Sarutobi Asuma standing on the other side of Kiyoshi, afraid that something might have been discovered.

"red?"

Sarutobi Asuma turned his gaze towards him.

Because Kiyoshi's body was blocking his view, Sarutobi Asuma leaned forward slightly to get a clearer view of part of it.

"It's nothing, it just feels like it's been a long time." Kurenai Yuhi gave Kiyoshi a resentful look.

Suddenly, Kiyoshi's hand gently grasped Kurenai's hand, and he kept stroking the back of her hand with his fingers.

"That's it."

Sarutobi Asuma leaned back on the sofa again.

Just as Kurenai was about to nod, Kiyoshi placed his hand on her waist again.

"what……"

Kurenai Yuhi shut her mouth.

She was afraid of making too much noise, and also afraid that Asma and her father would see her movements.

Therefore, she could only remain in place, letting Kiyoshi hold her waist.

"The tea is here."

Before long, the setting sun turned crimson.

Kurenai quickly adjusted her position slightly, took the teacup, and placed it in front of Kiyoshi.

Seeing the girl's shy expression, Kiyoshi's lips curled into a slight smile.

He then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The atmosphere was more harmonious afterwards, with Sarutobi Asuma mostly talking to himself.

Kurenai Yuhi went to the study to maintain her ninja sword.

Kiyoshi and Kurenai Yuhi kept making small moves.

An hour or two passed, and Sarutobi Asuma's lips were getting dry. He picked up the cold tea and gulped it down.

"I go first."

Asuma Sarutobi spoke.

His father, Hiruzen Sarutobi, did not object to him becoming one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja, but his mother, Biwako Sarutobi, did.

They said the location was too far away, and they rarely saw anyone there.

He still needs to go back and do more ideological work; seeing Xi Ri Hong has given him more motivation.

Click.

The banner is closed.

Sarutobi Asuma has already left.

The living room fell silent instantly, leaving only Kiyoshi and Kurenai Yuhi.

Kiyoshi tilted his head slightly, his gaze falling on the girl's face.

Her cheeks still flushed, her expression a mixture of anger and shyness, and a hint of lingering panic in her eyes.

Kurenai took a soft breath, but refused to look at him, as if she was still embarrassed and annoyed by her earlier little actions.

This person had already... casually made advances towards her while Asma was right next to him.

But when asked to refuse Kiyoshi, Kurenai found herself unable to bring herself to do it.

"Don't do that in front of Asuma next time. If he sees you like that, he might cry."

Sunset Red Road.

There's no such thing as unrequited love.

In reality, it's just that the other person chose to remain silent and not respond, so it seems like unrequited love.

The ninja world is this cruel.

However, the kind-hearted Kurenai Yuhi still chose to preserve a shred of dignity for Sarutobi Asuma.

She secretly hoped that when he became one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas serving the Daimyo, he would meet new people and stop bothering her.

As for herself, Kurenai wanted to spend more time by Kiyoshi's side.

“Sarutobi Asuma shouldn’t be that fragile.”

Kiyoshi gazed at Kurenai's profile with his dark eyes, then spoke:

"Just after I left, Hong touched her lips, feeling my traces."

"Who...who would do that?"

Kurenai Yuhi's eyes darted away, and even the roots of her ears turned red.

She glared at Qing Si feigning anger, her gaze so soft and threatening that it was like a spoiled kitten scratching his chest.

"Don't deny it, I am one of them too."

Kiyoshi's face drew closer again.

Every time Kiyoshi saw Kurenai's shy yet composed face, he wanted to tease her.

“My father is still in his study…”

Kurenai hurriedly whispered a reminder, her eyes darting quickly towards the direction from the living room to the study, then looking at Seiji with a mixture of panic and shy anticipation.

She gently shook her head, her rosy lips slightly parted, her voice extremely low: "No, what if someone sees us..."

"Don't be afraid, I'll make very little noise."

"It's okay, it'll only be a little while."

The next moment, his face slowly moved closer, and he quietly began to taste the girl's lips.

Kurenai's eyes widened, and her body tensed, but soon, the familiar warmth and scent gradually relaxed her.

His gaze gradually lost focus, and his breathing became warm.

She neither refused nor pushed him away.

She sat on the sofa, trembling slightly, like a red leaf covered in morning dew.

She let his breath envelop her, and let his lips gently press against her heart.

A moment later, Qing Si slowly stepped back, his lips still carrying a lingering warmth as they left that soft touch.

Kurenai stared at him blankly, as if the sensation of his touch still lingered on her lips.

Those bright eyes seemed to be shrouded in a mist, an indistinguishable blend of bewilderment and a mixture of shyness and panic.

Her cheeks flushed, and even the back of her neck was tinged with a blush.

My breathing became slightly rapid, and with each rise and fall of my chest, I felt an unprecedented surge of emotion.

"Okay, that's not allowed anymore."

Another while passed, and Kurenai Yuhi refused verbally.

"Then I'll be going. I'll come back to teach you illusion magic next time."

Kiyoshi patted Kurenai Yuhi's head and left using the "Flying Thunder God Technique".

He also has social engagements in the evening.

The two ladies who rolled their eyes must have arrived as promised.

The room fell silent, leaving only Yuhi Hong alone in her boudoir, hugging her pillow and rolling around on the bed.

She was saying things like, "Kiyoshi is so awful, he just loves to bully her."

…………

Mt. Miaomu.

Did you call me?

Jiraiya knelt on one knee, looking up at the front.

Before him were three enormous thrones.

He was in a grand hall, which was built of stone and looked very solemn and dignified.

Ahead stood a huge, old toad.

Jiraiya dared not show the slightest disrespect to this old toad.

He is the legendary prophet who lived from the era of the Sage of Six Paths.

It is said that he was also a friend of the Sage of Six Paths and possessed the ability of "prophecy".

The idea of ​​the "Child of Prophecy," which Jiraiya firmly believed in, originated from his explanation.

That old toad was none other than Gamamaru, also known as... the Great Toad Sage!

"Here you are, Jiraiya."

The giant toad sage wore a black square hat on his head and a string of yellow beads around his neck. In the very center was a pale purple cat's eye stone with the character "oil" written on it.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya immediately focused his attention, ready to hear if the Great Toad Sage had any new "prophecy".

"Um...who are you again?"

The giant toad immortal was silent for a moment before asking a question. His toad eyes narrowed into slits, and it was unclear whether he was dozing or looking down.

“My lord, it is Jiraiya, Jiraiya.”

On the two smaller thrones beside them, made of wood, sat two green toads, both draped in black cloaks.

The speaker was Fukasaku, one of the high-ranking members of Mount Myōboku, and he and his wife Shima were hailed as elders and trusted confidants of the Great Toad Sage.

They live in harmony with nature, have cultivated immortal arts for over eight hundred years without aging, and are revered as "leaders" by the toads of Mount Myōboku.

He is also the highest-ranking administrator below the Great Toad Sage.

"Oh...right, right, you've grown up."

The giant toad immortal spoke.

"I've come here to tell you that the future has changed."

"That's what the Great Toad Immortal said."

"variable?"

Jiraiya's heart tightened.

In that case, will the "Child of Prophecy" be affected?
What will the future of the ninja world be like?

"In my dream, many fragments appeared, but I couldn't see them clearly."

The giant toad sage opened his narrowed eyes slightly, and continued in his murky voice:
"He is a man deeply involved with the 'Child of Prophecy,' and the future 'Child of Prophecy' is inextricably linked to him."

"So, someone like me?"

Jiraiya asked.

His duty is to find the "Child of Prophecy" and teach him so that the "Child of Prophecy" can lead the world towards a better future.

"Yes and no."

"That's what the Great Toad Immortal said."

"Who is that?"

Jiraiya wanted to ask about some physical characteristics.

"He had black hair and red eyes."

The giant toad sage remained silent for a while.

He has lived too long and is prone to distraction and forgetfulness.

This is the natural law of nature.

It is already rare in the world that he has lived this long.

"I remember."

Jiraiya nodded solemnly.

Then, remembering something, he said:
"The Great Toad Sage, some Uchiha ninjas want to come to Mount Myōboku to train in 'Sage Techniques'."

Jiraiya hesitated for a moment, but still told Tsunade about the request she had made to him.

On one hand, this was Tsunade's request.

On one hand, it also acknowledges Kiyoshi's "Will of Fire".

However, the Great Toad Sage had already fallen into a deep slumber.

After a moment of silence in the main hall, Shen said:
"Jiraiya, as long as you don't disturb the peace of Mount Myōboku."

Shima also said:
"I hope it won't take as long as it did for you."

"..."

Jiraiya felt that their words were somewhat hurtful.

However, the fact that he has been cultivating for an excessively long time is also undeniable.

…………

Dusk, Qingsi's house.

Kiyoshi, who was waiting for night to fall at home, did not see the two Byakugan ladies, but instead saw Tsunade come to visit him.

"Jiraiya said you can go to Mount Myōboku to train, but it won't be for long. Whether you can comprehend it depends on yourself."

"Thank you, Tsunade-sensei."

Kiyoshi took out a cup of shochu and gave it to Tsunade.

In terms of diet, Tsunade especially loves tender chicken and wine.

On the contrary, they dislike sweets, such as meatballs.

"She's quite filial."

Tsunade nodded in satisfaction and accepted the sake from Kiyoshi.

"Come with me to the casino tomorrow."

Tsunade lifted the lid and took a sniff, finding the scent pleasant; it was clearly a high-end product.

"no problem."

Qingsi nodded.

Tsunade secured a trip to Mount Myōboku for him, so it wouldn't hurt to gamble with her a few more times.

"Now, I'm not your teacher anymore."

Tsunade put the lid back on and looked at Kiyoshi with a complicated expression.

She doesn't have much left to teach Kiyoshi; every little she learns is precious.

She had felt somewhat relieved before, but now she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"No, Tsunade-sensei will always be my teacher. Besides, techniques are only one aspect. We can also conduct other research, such as biological and scientific research."

Kiyoshi looked at Tsunade's heavy heart and then spoke.

In the entire ninja world, there are few women as voluptuous as Tsunade.

Discussing research questions with her would be a delightful experience.

"makes sense."

Tsunade thought for a moment, and new techniques kept emerging.

The ninja world is not a stagnant pool.

Developing new theories and techniques requires a significant amount of time.

Moreover, Kiyoshi is a medical ninja like her, so there's a lot to talk about in the future. (End of Chapter)
