Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

"Mrs. Gallo, there's no need to be so nervous."

When they were alone together, Kiyoshi spoke.

Karura's expression remained wary, especially now that she was alone with Kiyoshi.

She was completely unaware that she had just been hypnotized by Kiyoshi using his Sharingan.

This is the terrifying aspect of illusion: its ability to manipulate people's minds and...memories.

Of course, illusions also have their drawbacks.

That is chakra.

Ordinary illusions require the use of "Yin" chakra to maintain, while eye-type illusions require the use of "eye power" to maintain.

Once the chakra behind it is depleted, it will lose its effect.

Only a very few techniques can be permanently effective, such as Uchiha Shisui's "Kotoamatsukami".

It can directly invade the subject's brain and modify the subject's will without being detected.

Moreover, this process is manipulated unconsciously, and one can fall victim to it without even realizing it.

The recipient will firmly believe that these are "their own will" and their true thoughts.

Everything has two sides; the recovery time after using "Betsu no Tenshin" can be as long as more than ten years.

Assuming Zhishui could live for a hundred years, the number of people he could control would not exceed twenty.

It is only possible to use this technique again in a short period of time if one has the chakra of Hashirama Senju.

"I won't let you do whatever you want to me like I did last time."

Karura glared at Kiyoshi.

At worst, she could just stay awake and endure the hatred of Shukaku inside her.

“In that case, Gaara and Kankuro will probably be heartbroken when they grow up and find out that their father was treated like this.”

Kiyoshi quietly walked to the window and watched the figures coming and going outside.

The streets of Sunagakure are an oasis, and from the outside, you can see that many new buildings have been constructed.

The roads are also cleaner than before.

This proves that the economy of Sunagakure is slowly recovering.

Currently, only Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) is still at war with Sunagakure (Hidden Sand Village).

"You...what did you say?"

Gallo's brown eyes immediately widened in surprise.

"Don't underestimate a medical ninja, or an Uchiha with the Sharingan."

Qingsi smiled slightly.

With his three-tomoe Sharingan, he could see things at the cellular level. His eye power, which was almost like the "Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan," allowed him to easily see the rather cold chakra flowing within Gaara and Kankuro.

This is a performance that only ninjas with exceptional Yin Release talent can demonstrate.

You could also say... Uchiha.

The Uchiha clan's talent in Yin Release is even greater than that of the Nara and Yamanaka clans.

This clan ultimately inherited the "Yin" escape technique of the Sage of Six Paths.

Gaara and Kankuro should actually be called Uchiha Gaara and Uchiha Kankuro.

"Relax, I won't do anything to Gaara and Kankuro."

Kiyoshi shook his head.

On the contrary, Gaara and Kankuro could become his inside agents within Sunagakure.

Without Shukaku, Gaara will probably grow up faster than in the original story.

His childhood was no longer filled with constant fear that Shukaku and the villagers would kill him.

"These are some of the ninjutsu of the Uchiha clan."

Kiyoshi casually wrote down some Fire Release ninjutsu techniques as a gift for the two children.

These two are now considered to be descendants of Qing Si.

As long as he doesn't oppose Kiyoshi or affect him in any way, it's perfectly acceptable for him to play the role of a loving father.

Karura frowned slightly, not expecting Kiyoshi to care so much about Gaara and Kankuro.

A moment later, the corners of her eyes reddened slightly.

Children should be the fruit of love.

She had a child and became a mother.

But the father was not Luo Sha.

The thought of this made Gallo feel a little sad.

But who can blame this?
She hesitated before accepting Kiyoshi's request, only to resolve the mystery surrounding Shukaku.

What we are now is simply the bitter fruit of what we reaped back then.

"Don't worry, they have my blood flowing through their veins, they will definitely become extraordinary ninjas in the future."

Kiyoshi stepped forward and stroked his short, brownish-yellow hair with his hand, strands of hair swirling around his fingertips.

Karura instinctively stepped back, only to find that her body was unable to move.

Ninjutsu!

Or is it an illusion?

Galuro couldn't tell; all she knew was that she had been infected.

"Rakusa hasn't completely secured his position as Kazekage yet, and these two children will become his help in the future."

Kiyoshi said softly.

After Gaara became Kazekage, he was restrained by the elders and forced to go on arranged marriages.

The current fourth-generation Kazekage, Rasa, is a good Kazekage for the village.

However, the war lasted for several more years than in the original story, which inevitably made many people feel resentful.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's abdication was also a wise move to retire gracefully.

When a ruler fails to provide sufficient benefits to his subjects, the subjects will consider changing the ruler.

"Hmph, as long as you disappear and never see those two again, I can pretend it never happened."

After a moment of contemplation, Karura said.

As long as the two children recognize Rasa as their father, this matter will not have any impact.

"Their eyes cannot be hidden."

Kiyoshi pointed to his eyes, indicating that Gaara and Kankuro both had a chance of awakening the Sharingan.

Such a distinctive characteristic is possessed only by the Uchiha clan.

Upon hearing this, Galura was overcome with grief.

She almost overlooked this crucial factor.

This means that the secret will eventually be discovered.

Thinking of the dark future, a hint of sorrow and resentment appeared in Garura's eyes.

Without Kiyoshi, none of this would have happened.

Now that things have come to this, what can she change no matter how much she thinks?

"Don't worry, these are colored contact lenses."

Kiyoshi took out a small box.

This is the colored contact lens he researched, officially called decorative colored plano contact lenses.

He used a special material that blends into the surface of living organisms, allowing it to be worn on the eyes for extended periods without causing any harm to the eyes.

This is one of the research results from the Grass Country Experimental Base.

Initially, these were byproducts of Kiyoshi's research into protective eyewear. Given Sasuke's experience of having his Rinnegan blinded, Kiyoshi naturally paid more attention to them.

"Colored contact lenses?"

Karura looked at the product in Kiyoshi's hand, somewhat puzzled.

Kiyoshi found Karura's reaction quite normal.

Currently, the only ninja in the world wears glasses with lenses.

There is actually very little research on contact lenses that are directly attached to the cornea.

Based on its current achievements, Kiyoshi can be said to be at the forefront.

So Kiyoshi explained the principle to Karura, saying that these were enough to wear for ten years, and that she could come back to him to replace them after ten years.

In the first year of a human's life, the eyeball gradually grows. By the age of two, the eyeball gradually approaches the size of an adult's eyeball, and after the age of three, the eyeball hardly continues to grow.

By the time they are eight years old, their development will be fully complete.

Kiyoshi uses a tough material, so it won't be affected even if it grows a bit larger; the only concern is wear and tear.

Looking at the box handed to her by Kiyoshi, Karura felt a mix of joy and sorrow.

Although there's no need to worry about the children developing Sharingan, the biological father of these children is still... Kiyoshi.

Every time Karura looked at Rasa, she felt an indescribable sense of guilt.

While Karura was lost in thought, Kiyoshi entered Karura's mental space.

"Human, how dare you set foot here!"

Shukaku's sharp, piercing voice echoed from the depths of darkness, sending ripples across the shallow water.

"I've come to ask you for something."

Without saying a word, Kiyoshi activated his "Mangekyou Sharingan".

The immense power of his left eye pressed down directly on Shukaku's body.

"This ominous chakra..."

Shukaku's grayish-brown scales stood upside down.

He thought of Indra from a thousand years ago.

At that time, Kurama chose to help Ashura and fight against Indra together.

At that time, he had also met Indra a few times.

That ominous yet immense power of his eyes left a lasting impression on him.

Looking at Kiyoshi's cold expression, Shukaku inexplicably saw the shadow of Indra.

"Could he be the reincarnation of this Indra?"

Shukaku frowned.

Although the Sage of Six Paths did not explicitly state these matters, his two sons' obsessions have caused their descendants to argue for a thousand years.

The Tailed Beasts, who have lived for thousands of years, had a vague sense of this unusual event.

It is said that the Sage of Six Paths will appear when the reincarnations of Asura and Indra trigger certain conditions.

However, Shukaku has never been seen and is considered a figure of legend.

"Teach me the sealing techniques you know."

Kiyoshi used some sealing techniques he learned from Kushina to form chains that bound Shukaku's limbs and tail.

Then, a surge of pupil power was added to reinforce the seal.

"Do you think that's possible?"

Shukaku was almost amused by this human.

They had previously imprisoned me with a sealing technique, but after some time, they came back to ask me for something.

This level of shamelessness is rare among the humans that Shukaku has ever seen.

"I don't think you'd want to try having your senses cut off too."

Kiyoshi snapped his fingers.

The sealing technique transformed into chains that tightly bound Shukaku's head, leaving no gaps.

When a Tailed Beast is inside a Jinchūriki, it can see or perceive certain scenes in the outside world.

This may also be an important source of information for the Tailed Beasts.

At the same time, this is also a fatal weakness.

Any intelligent life form would find it difficult to endure endless darkness.

Shukaku's senses were shut down, which was equivalent to locking him in a dark room.

He can think normally, but he can no longer see or hear anything.

All that could be felt was emptiness.

Such a world is enough to drive people crazy.

Wugou, the son of Wuwei, the lord of Hozuki Castle, went mad after spending ten years in the "Box of Bliss".

He went from being a promising young man who was expected to run for the next leader of Kusagakure to a madman who killed his father as soon as he came out.

"what have you done!"

Soon, Shukaku's terrified voice rang out.

As a tailed beast, he still experiences the same joys and sorrows as a human.

Born from the "Yin-Yang Escape Technique," they are essentially products of the Sage of Six Paths imitating intelligent life.

Therefore, they can also have emotions, so they can feel anger and hatred.

Only the Ten-Tails possesses the most primal instincts.

"If you wish to endure the endless darkness, you may continue to be defiant, Shukaku."

Kiyoshi said leisurely.

Tree branches grew out of the water and wove together to form a chair.

Wood Release: Wooden Chair Technique.

Kiyoshi sat there silently, awaiting Shukaku's decision.

The flow of time in the mental space is different from that in the outside world. What happens here a long time ago will only take a moment to pass in the outside world.

One minute, two minutes, one hour, three hours...

Shukaku went from being angry and cursing at the beginning to asking if Kiyoshi was still around.

Finally, he began to lament his bad luck. The life of a tailed beast is bound to its jinchūriki; if he wants to regain his freedom, he can only do so by taking over Karura's body or waiting for Karura to die.

It is also possible that they will be inserted into the body of a new Jinchūriki, passed down from generation to generation, and forever trapped in darkness.

This fear of eternity, coupled with Kiyoshi's guidance and suggestion, quickly shattered Shukaku's psychological defenses.

"Human, I promise you!"

Finally, Shukaku spoke.

"very good."

Qingsi nodded in satisfaction.

If tailed beasts possess human-like qualities, then they also possess human weaknesses.

Kiyoshi didn't care whether Shukaku hated himself deep down.

In Kiyoshi's eyes, the nine tailed beasts are just large chakra bags, materials for synthesizing the Ten-Tails.

Do ninjas need to consider whether a ball of chakra will hate them?

Especially since Kiyoshi possesses the ability to counter this mass of chakra.

"From now on, you'd better behave yourself, or I'll keep coming back."

After saying this, Kiyoshi released the sealing chain from Shukaku's neck.

The idea that he would always experience darkness was obviously something he was telling Shukaku.

He doesn't have the time to come and reinforce the seal every now and then.

"I'll remember you, you human brat."

As soon as Shukaku appeared, he felt a sense of hatred.

That boundless darkness was undoubtedly pure torture for him, who possessed consciousness.

"Begin dictating, and give me a copy of your Magnet Release chakra."

Seiji demanded.

Shukaku suppressed his anger and verbally explained to Kiyoshi how to mobilize the corresponding chakra.

Finally, he handed Kiyoshi a "Magnetic" Release chakra.

Karura, who had been watching from the shadows, clenched her fists.

Uchiha Kiyoshi has become even stronger than before.

The tailed beasts were treated with the same indifference as toys or domesticated animals.

After getting what he wanted, Kiyoshi withdrew from the mental space.

"I will stay here for a while longer."

Kiyoshi said.

That being said, he was already thinking about how to get to Yecang's place.

Once Yekura's matter is resolved, this affair can temporarily come to a close.

Let's wait until Gaara and Kankuro are a little older and have their own thoughts before we start cultivating their relationship.

Upon returning to Konoha, he would have to deal with the Hokage selection process.

As for Kiyoshi, he might as well try to take the position of Fourth Hokage.

If he moves around more, he'll likely still have a lot of support.

It should be noted that he usually values ​​harmony and rarely has conflicts with villagers, and he is always humble.

Compared to the aloof Uchiha, he was more like a polite scholar.

"what ever."

Galuro's tone was indifferent.

He turned around, intending to leave.

But Kiyoshi blocked the door.

Since we're already here, we should naturally take a look back before leaving.

Karura felt Kiyoshi's burning gaze, and her expression changed slightly.

However, he was unable to move his body and could only roll his eyes to stare at Kiyoshi.

"Yes, people's hearts do indeed grow bigger after they have children."

Qingsi said calmly.

I felt it, that weight...

Next, Kiyoshi took the opportunity to examine Karura to see if she had any lasting effects.

Women need to observe a postpartum period after childbirth in order to reduce the side effects of childbirth.

Perhaps because he was a ninja, Karura recovered very well.

Kiyoshi nodded in satisfaction and then proceeded to the next step of the diagnosis.

That's a more in-depth diagnosis.

His eyes turned crimson, with tomoe-like markings swirling within them.

This is due to emotional fluctuations.

"The weather is so nice."

Kiyoshi looked up at the view outside the window. The weather was fine and sunny, with only a vast sky.

When he looked down, he saw a landscape full of distinctive Sunagakure-style scenery.

…………

A valley shrouded in mountain mist.

Yekura walked alone on the road.

This is the place where Sunagakure and Kirigakure made their promise.

Yecang traveled a long way to get here, using chakra to travel quickly and save time.

"Once this is accomplished, the war between Sunagakure and Kirigakure will be over."

Yekura has a sense of mission in her heart.

As someone who can be called the "Hero of Sunagakure," she naturally made many contributions to the village.

He is also someone who genuinely hopes that Sunagakure will get better and better.

At that time, the peace that everyone has been longing for will come to the Land of Wind and to the Sand Village.

Yekura continued walking for a while until she saw some figures in the mountain mist.

As she got closer, she realized it was an Anbu ninja from Kirigakure.

"Yakura of Sunagakure?"

"The Hidden Mist Anbu inquired."

"Yes, I am Pakura from Sunagakure..."

As Yekura introduced himself, he cautiously uttered the code.

In this case, it is also possible that they are ninjas from an enemy country in disguise.

This could exacerbate the conflict between Sand Village and Mist Village, so caution is necessary.

The Hidden Mist Division quickly gave the code as well.

Only after the code was matched did Ye Cang finally relax.

The code is correct.

These are the people of Kigakure.

If these negotiations go smoothly, the war can be ended!

With a heart full of excitement, Yekura followed the Hidden Mist ninja.

However, after walking more than a hundred meters, she found that the fog was getting thicker and thicker.

It was unusually thick; it didn't seem like mountain mist, but rather... ninjutsu.

Just as Ye Cang was about to say something, several whooshing sounds rang out.

Then she felt a chill on her back, and warm liquid was flowing out.

Finally, the belated, sharp pain, along with the sensation of a shuriken touching her back, made Yekura realize she had been ambushed.

"!"

why?
Ye Cang had countless questions in her mind, and she reluctantly turned her head to look over.

The fog was thinned out slightly by the flying shuriken.

A row of Hidden Mist Ninjas standing on the hillside were revealed.

She didn't understand why the Hidden Mist's ANBU would ambush her.

"Confused, aren't you?"

As the Kirigakure ANBU spoke, they threw another shuriken at Yekura's back.

His once fair skin was now covered with shurikens.

The blood drenched Yekura, blurring her vision and seeping onto the ground.

puff.

Yekura collapsed.

She felt her strength draining away.

If a ninja is caught off guard by a sneak attack and doesn't react in time, he will die from blood loss just like an ordinary person if he is hit by a hidden weapon.

"We were also surprised that Sunagakure could be so ruthless. Even Kirigakure, known as the 'Village of the Bloody Mist,' couldn't bring themselves to betray a hero."

The Hidden Fog Division was quite moved.

At the same time, he could also sense Sunagakure's unwavering commitment to peace.

Yotsuki, who had made great contributions to Sunagakure, was simply used as a bargaining chip by the higher-ups of Sunagakure against Kirigakure.

The determination to abandon even comrades and heroes is something not every village can possess.

"Alright, it's time to send you on your way."

A hint of killing intent flashed in the eyes of the Hidden Mist operative.

Only the dead can keep secrets.

Kirigakure also wanted to cease hostilities with Sunagakure; for the sake of the village's interests, they could not afford to make any mistakes.

"Goodbye, Pakura of Sunagakure."

The Hidden Mist Anbu raised their hands and casually fired another kunai.

Bang!
Sparks flew.

The kunai in his hand was knocked away!

"There is an enemy attack!"

The Hidden Mist Anbu immediately drew their ninja swords from their backs.

The ninja from the Hidden Mist Village around them quickly assumed fighting stances.

"It's a ninja from Konoha!"

"Uchiha Kiyoshi!"

The Kirigakure ANBU noticed Kiyoshi's headband with the Konoha symbol on his forehead and loudly alerted the others.

Lying on the ground, Yekura was in a daze, and could only hear the Kirigakure Anbu saying something about Uchiha Kiyoshi.

She struggled to open her eyes and saw Kiyoshi's profile.

But she didn't have the strength to speak.

With only the last of his strength left, he could think: Why is Kiyoshi here?

Are they here to take their own lives too?
But no one answered Yekura's question.

The atmosphere on the field was somewhat somber at this moment.

"Konoha ninja, we have already signed a peace treaty with Konoha."

The occult member spoke loudly.

"Once you're all dead, no one will know."

Qingsi smiled slightly.

A scorching flame ignited in his palm, and then he threw it.

boom!
The exploding fireball struck the Hidden Mist operative directly, turning him into a pile of minced meat.

Seeing this, the other Hidden Mist ninjas all used their own Water Release techniques.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Water Release: Water Flow Pillar Technique!"

Water Release: Water Blade!

A series of water-style ninjutsu techniques, accompanied by various turbulent currents, came rushing in.

However, as soon as Kiyoshi raised his head slightly, the giant black skeletal hand blocked his view.

Wow!

The waves scattered and landed on the ground.

Then, Kiyoshi's cheeks puffed out slightly, and he spat out four burning dragon heads.

Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!
The scorching heat instantly evaporated all the subsequent water-style ninjutsu, turning them into steam.

The entry greatly enhanced Kiyoshi's basic Five Elements Escape Techniques, even for the same techniques, the same level of proficiency, and even the same amount of chakra.

Kiyoshi's ninjutsu is still much stronger than that of ordinary people.

For example, Madara Uchiha's "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation" required more than twenty Kirigakure ninjas' "Water Release: Water Wall" to withstand.

Rumble!
Next, Kiyoshi used Fire Release ninjutsu repeatedly, burning the area to ashes.

Those Hidden Mist ninjas were all reduced to charred corpses, or even gray ashes.

The corpse of a ninja can reveal what kind of ninjutsu killed him, but if the body is damaged enough, it is difficult to find any traces.

"Alright, what should I do with you, Yecang?"

Kiyoshi looked down at the dying Yekura. (End of Chapter)
