Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

"it's here."

Kiyoshi raised his hand and gently covered Mitarashi Anko's little belly.

There was only a soft, fluffy belly there, which felt like cotton to the touch, and did not resemble a body that had been through a long period of exercise.

This is the power of chakra.

In addition to enabling ninjas to use ninjutsu, it can also heal themselves to a certain extent.

All living beings possess life force, which can also be called physical energy. Ninjas, however, can amplify this power, thereby enhancing their recovery ability, endurance, and other qualities.

Therefore, ninjas would maintain a streamlined physique after training, rather than becoming muscular hunks.

Even Kiyoshi's muscles were smooth and solid, without any sense of bulkiness.

Before Mitarashi Anko could react, she felt a warm sensation in her stomach, as if something had crawled inside.

That was a special kind of chakra.

It travels through the meridian system of Mitarashi Azuki, and eventually stops at a certain point.

"What are you doing, Kiyoshi!"

Mitarashi Anko was startled, her little face turning red.

Kiyoshi actually touched her inappropriately in public?
Is it because she's getting prettier and prettier that Kiyoshi can't maintain her looks?
While Mitarashi Anko was lost in thought, Kiyoshi tapped her forehead with his finger.

"It hurts."

Mitarashi Anko touched her forehead and complained.

"This is a necessary procedure for planting the curse mark. Lift up your clothes and take a look."

Kiyoshi said.

My gaze fell on Mitarashi Anko's black, form-fitting chainmail.

Although it's called chainmail, the design is actually more like a black fishnet.

With her curvaceous and alluring figure, Mitarashi Anko exudes an alluring charm.

"……it is good."

Mitarashi Anko thought for a moment and nodded.

She did indeed feel chakra entering her body.

The nature of that chakra was completely different from the nature of her own chakra.

It made her feel both cold and gentle, which was quite contradictory.

After the clothes were lifted, a mysterious pattern appeared above the smooth, white navel.

In the center of the design are the two characters "Qing Si".

"You...you've imprinted your name on me!"

Mitarashi Anko stared in shock, her eyes widening, and quickly began to rub her face with her hands.

She rubbed her stomach until it was bright red, but the mark didn't fade even a little.

It was as if the mark was a tattoo, forever etched onto her body.

"Didn't Orochimaru tell you that the cursed seal would leave a pattern?"

Qingsi spoke.

Different spell seals will leave different marks.

For example, the "Heavenly Curse Seal" consists of three intertwined and spiraling lines, while the "Earthly Curse Seal" consists of three crescent-shaped arcs spiraling together.

This represents the different characteristics of the curse seal, which are natural products of the curse seal.

Kiyoshi's "Seed of Immortal Spells" is the result of his own "enlightenment" ability.

In his subconscious, those who plant the "seed of immortal curse" will be subject to him, essentially becoming his vassals. Thus, his own name is presented, representing ownership.

Of course, this cannot be suppressed forever.

Unless someone's chakra surpasses Kiyoshi's, or they abandon their current body, they will not be subject to Kiyoshi's control.

However, both of these points are difficult to achieve.

Currently, the only people who can abandon their own bodies and possess another person's body are Orochimaru's "Shiranui Tensei" and Otsutsuki's "Karma".

All other methods require dying and being resurrected.

As for having more chakra than Kiyoshi, that's even more difficult.

Every day, Kiyoshi's chakra would increase slightly.

Even now, he has not yet reached the limits of this body.

If he continues to accumulate chakra, it won't be difficult for Kiyoshi to surpass Hashirama Senju's chakra reserves.

One day, his chakra reserves will exceed the combined chakra reserves of all the ninjas on Earth.

"I think I did say that."

Upon hearing this, Mitarashi Anko frowned, a look of recollection crossing her face.

She vaguely remembered that Lord Orochimaru had said something like that.

But she was so busy making red bean soup with the dumplings and enjoying sweets that she forgot a lot of what Orochimaru had said.

Upon seeing this, Kiyoshi couldn't help but smile slightly.

As expected of Mitarashi Anko.

They believed it 70-80% after just a casual explanation.

That's normal. In the end, Mitarashi Anko is just like Naruto; she's the kind of hot-blooded idiot.

According to the official guidebook, her "wisdom" stat is only 4 points.

The "wisdom" value represents the amount of knowledge and the level of IQ. Even Might Guy, who seems like a rough and uncouth man, has a "wisdom" value of 6.

Later, when Naruto grew up, his "wisdom" value reached 6 points.

The only one with a lower "wisdom" value than Mitarashi Anko is Obito, who has 4 points.

"This just feels a little strange."

Mitarashi Anko may be a bit slow, but she's not mentally challenged.

"Don't worry about that. Try to see if you can use this power."

Qingsi said.

Upon hearing this, Mitarashi Anko subconsciously activated the special chakra planted by Kiyoshi.

Misty, Anko Mitarashi sensed some kind of energy flowing into her body from the outside world.

Black curse marks began to emerge from her body, covering the surface of her skin.

Her eyeshadow turned dark red, as if she had applied a layer of makeup.

"This is... the power of the cursed seal?"

Mitarashi Azuma discovered that her sense of smell had become much stronger; she could smell the aroma of red bean soup wafting from hundreds of meters away, even while standing still.

A surge of power continued to well up within her, prompting Mitarashi Anko to pull a shuriken from her ninja tool pouch.

Just as she was about to throw it, she noticed that the shuriken had been dented by her handprint.

"I also added 'celestial magic' to it."

Kiyoshi said.

The power of the curse seal alone is not enough to have such a significant effect; at least one must enter state two and fully develop the potential of the curse seal.

After stacking "Sage Techniques", the first state can unleash a great deal of power, allowing natural energy to be refined into "Sage Chakra" to amplify itself.

His own three-in-one "immortal technique" plus the incantation seal will also subtly influence Kiyoshi's body, making Kiyoshi more tolerant of natural energy.

This is, in a sense, also an evolution of life.

If this continues, Kiyoshi might very well live for thousands of years like the Great Toad Immortal and the White Snake Immortal, relying on "immortal arts".

People like Fukasaku and Shima can live for eight hundred years.

They all have natural lifespans, unlike the Otsutsuki who rely on "wedges" to change their bodies and thus achieve immortality.

"So that's it."

Mitarashi Anko excitedly began to test her power.

In the original story, she only used a defective curse seal.

It can be said that not only does it offer no benefits, but it also has entirely negative effects.

Her only ability is that she feels pain when Orochimaru is nearby, and she can sense Orochimaru's presence through pain.

It also cannot change to state one or state two.

With a temperament similar to that of a boy, Mitarashi Anko naturally couldn't wait to become familiar with this power.

……

Meanwhile, at the Grass Country Experimental Base.

Yecang got up from the bed and put on the clothes that Kiyoshi had provided.

Her original clothes were stained with blood and had an indelible fishy smell.

"My body has almost fully recovered."

Yecang's secret passage.

The wounds she suffered were fatal; the shurikens pierced her flesh from behind, some even penetrating her heart and lungs.

Even though Kiyoshi received emergency treatment and her life was no longer in danger.

Such a severe injury would have required her to rest for at least a month in the past.

But now, she has not only recovered from her injuries, but also feels stronger than she did a week ago.

"Burning Escape..."

Ye Cang stretched out her hand, and a fireball appeared in her palm.

The intense heat created a restless atmosphere in the air.

Cursed markings also appeared on her body.

The back resembles a blooming dark flower, with beautiful patterns extending outwards from the back.

"As expected, this state has enhanced my ninjutsu several times over."

A sense of joy welled up in Ye Cang's heart.

This would make her revenge against Sunagakure more hopeful.

"Would you like something to eat?"

As Yekura adjusted to the power, Uzumaki Karin's voice came from outside the door.

She spends most of her time alone here, but now that she has a companion, she is very happy.

"unnecessary."

Yekura gave Uzumaki Karin a cold glance.

Uchiha Kiyoshi was living a good life, even keeping a mistress in a secluded house.

A woman was hiding here without anyone noticing.

This made Yekura feel inexplicably annoyed.

Yekura still felt a phantom pain when she thought about what Kiyoshi had done to her.

When Yekura woke up the next day, she personally burned the blood-stained sheets to ashes.

"You can contact me anytime if you change your mind."

"Itsuki Karin said cautiously."

She left the room and walked down the corridor, still able to hear the sounds of meditation coming from inside the room as she left.

…………

Kirigakure Village.

"Are you sure Yekura never returned to Sunagakure?"

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, asked.

"determine."

The person who answered was a ninja from the Hozuki clan.

"I have gathered a lot of intelligence, and it all points to Yecang's complete disappearance in that canyon."

Hozuki's Strange Moon Path.

Every person who walks will inevitably leave traces.

Yecang's traces, however, seemed to have been abruptly broken off there, without extending any further.

"I see."

Yagura waved.

Hozuki Kigetsu respectfully withdrew.

"What do you think?"

Yagura turned to look at Mei Terumi, Zabuza Momochi, and the others.

With the passing of many veteran ninjas from the previous generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, it is essential to replenish them with fresh blood.

A genius like Mei Terumi was naturally recruited.

"It seems that Yekura and the village's secret agents perished together."

Mei Terumi deduced.

Whether it's changing the Hidden Mist or uncovering the truth behind Yagura.

They are all inseparable from the power center near the Hidden Mist.

Only in this way will they have plenty of opportunities.

"I think that makes sense too."

"Zabuza Momochi said in a deep voice."

The intelligence brought back by the reconnaissance ninjas indicated that the entire area was engulfed in flames.

This characteristic is very similar to Yekura unleashing all the power of her "Scorch" Release, which also burned her to ashes.

Therefore, what is further away is a charred corpse, while what is closer is ashes.

The delay was too long, and with the rain there, everything got mixed up.

It's impossible to tell whose DNA it is.

The high-ranking officials of Sunagakure also vehemently denied that they had saved Pakura, and even agreed to allow Kirigakure to send ninjas to Sunagakure to investigate.

"Hmm...maybe he really is dead."

Yagura no longer dwelled on whether Hagura lived or died.

As long as someone is alive, they will eventually show themselves. Such a conspicuous characteristic as "Burning" is not so easy to conceal.

As long as there is a desire to utilize this power, it will inevitably manifest itself.

He was thinking about something else; Sunagakure's determination to stop the war was obvious.

Just as Yagura was about to give an order, the power of his eyes that remained in his mind began to stir.

A hint of crimson flashed in his eyes, and he said in a tone that remained almost unchanged:
"In that case, the ceasefire with Sunagakure is settled. We will intensify the implementation of the 'Bloody Mist Village' policy to make the village's ninjas even stronger."

"Lord Mizukage, is this...?"

Zabuza Momochi frowned deeply.

Without a doubt, the ninjas trained in the "Village of Blood Mist" are ninjas who strictly conform to the definition of "tool".

It is also an ugly existence that steals away emotions.

Like a ninja's graduation exam, it is mostly done in pairs, and you can pass by killing your partner.

In protest against this policy, he once killed all the candidates in that year's cohort.

This forced Kirigakure to change its policy the following year to prevent the recurrence of ninjas like Zabuza Momochi who overstepped their bounds in carrying out orders, leaving Kirigakure without anyone to rely on.

But this is not a long-term solution.

As long as the "Village of Blood Mist" exists, the Hidden Mist Village can never be truly liberated.

"This is an order."

Yagura emphasized his words.

"Yes, Mizukage-sama."

Zabuza Momochi said, feigning respect.

"Mei Terumi, the Chunin Exams are in a few months. This time we'll be going to Konoha again, and you'll be leading one of the teams."

Yagura Michi.

It's impossible for a ninja village to send all its ninjas to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Exams.

Only outstanding ninjas are sent each time, tasked with making a name for Kirigakure.

"Also, keep an eye on Uchiha Kiyoshi and see if you can get all the ninja swords back to Kirigakure."

Yagura said calmly.

Soon, Mei Terumi's voice responded from inside the room.

…………

night.

Uchiha settlement.

"Kiyoshi, are you tired? Would you like to rest?"

Mikoto sat on the sofa in the living room, watching the busy figure in the kitchen, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.

"No need, Mikoto-nee, I'll be done right away."

Kiyoshi turned to Mikoto and said something.

He is currently at Mikoto's home.

After giving Mitarashi Azuko the "Sage Seed" in the afternoon, Kiyoshi bought ingredients and went to Mikoto's house.

The Uchiha clan are obsessive madmen.

Kiyoshi couldn't be sure what kind of love-hate relationship Mikoto would imagine if he ignored her for a long time.

After all, the Uchiha's way of thinking tends to be pessimistic rather than optimistic.

No matter what I'm thinking about, I always consider it from the worst-case scenario.

If anyone in the clan plotted a coup, Itachi Uchiha felt it necessary to purge the entire clan.

After learning the truth, Sasuke thought about destroying Konoha, not seeking revenge against the village's leaders.

Such extreme thinking can lead them to do all sorts of abstract things.

"it is good."

Mikoto's bright red lips parted slightly.

Looking at the figure in the kitchen, she felt a sense of happiness.

Suddenly, Mikoto's heart fluttered.

If only... if only this scene could happen forever.

She wished time could slow down.

Unfortunately, after Kiyoshi finishes cooking, the two of them finish eating, and after washing the dishes, Kiyoshi leaves.

"If you keep Kiyoshi locked up here, will he never be able to leave?"

The thought popped into her head.

Soon, Mikoto shook her head.

She was surprised by her own thoughts.

How could you do that?
Although that kind of future is indeed very good... very good.

"what happened?"

Kiyoshi raised an eyebrow, served the dishes, placed them on the table, and looked at Mikoto sitting on the sofa.

The only thing he couldn't understand in the entire ninja world was the Uchiha's thought process.

He always felt that Mikoto's gaze towards him was a little strange.

However, Kiyoshi did not sense any murderous intent or malice from it.

After acquiring the "Perfect Sage Mode," Kiyoshi became very sensitive to these sensations.

Furthermore, the [Yang Release Active Body (Purple)] also caused Kiyoshi to have a subtle stinging sensation as he sensed an impending danger to his own safety, and instinctively avoided all sources of danger.

This shows that Mikoto didn't intend to hurt him.

"nothing."

Mikoto's pretty face twitched, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"If you feel unwell, remember to tell me."

Kiyoshi took out a bowl and chopsticks.

"it is good."

Mikoto said.

She got up and sat down at the dining table next to Qing Si.

Kiyoshi could still smell a faint fragrance. The two were very close, almost touching.

The two ate their meal in silence.

……

Another few days passed.

Life in the village became increasingly peaceful, as if everything had returned to the peace before the Third Shinobi World War.

But only the ninjas knew that this was all just a facade of peace.

The real undercurrents are only just beginning.

Nanga Shrine.

By this time, a considerable number of Uchiha ninjas had gathered.

Whenever there is a major decision to be made, the Uchiha clan members come to the Naga Shrine.

"The voting is about to begin, so I hope everyone will give their support to Lord Fugaku."

Uchiha Yakumi spoke up.

The selection of Hokage follows a complete process.

First, we need to follow the village's lead and select a "Hokage candidate".

This step is also known as nomination.

Finally, from the nominees, the person most suitable to be Hokage will be chosen.

This step needs to be reported to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Finally, the final selection was made by the Daimyo, officials from the Land of Fire, and high-ranking officials from various departments of Konoha.

Of course, in reality, all that's needed is for the emperor to nod in approval.

"Has this moment finally arrived?"

"Uchiha Hachimoku said excitedly."

He was Fugaku's confidant and desperately wanted Fugaku to become Hokage and restore the glory of the Uchiha clan.

"Don't get so agitated."

A smile appeared on Fugaku's stern face.

He also dreamed of becoming Hokage, and seeing everyone's support made him naturally happy.

"Isn't Kiyoshi doing just fine?"

Uchiha Tekkado.

He believed that Kiyoshi's reputation was actually much better than that of most Uchiha.

"I think so too."

Uchiha Inahime nodded.

If we're talking about choosing a Hokage, he thinks a younger person would be better.

Captain Fugaku is sometimes too rigid.

In terms of strength, he has never truly used his full strength, so no one knows exactly how strong he is.

On the contrary, Kiyoshi's achievements were dazzling. He captured the Two-Tails Jinchuriki and repeatedly defeated other tailed beasts, as well as the Fourth Raikage.

Hearing some discordant voices within the clan, Fugaku frowned slightly.

He looked at Kiyoshi, who was sitting at the very front facing him, and pondered Kiyoshi's current reputation.

Having Kiyoshi in the public eye to attract attention has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that he can hide his strength, but the disadvantage is that it will also reduce his reputation.

In particular, Kiyoshi awakened the "Kaleidoscope Sharingan".

To be honest, it was the moment Fugaku learned the news afterward.

My first reaction was disbelief, and I suspected that I had fallen into an illusion.

What he had been hiding was so easily revealed by Kiyoshi.

But Fugaku held back, not even bothering to find out about Tsukasa's eye technique abilities.

This is something very private.

Once information about ninjas is obtained by others, it could be exploited and targeted.

After much deliberation, he decided to keep it a secret.

Having two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan is not enough for the Uchiha clan to stand against the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

He was hiding in the shadows, just in time.

"Are you saying that Kiyoshi is more suitable to lead the Uchiha than Captain Fugaku?"

The Eighth Hokage narrowed his eyes as he looked at Tetsuka.

Tie Huo felt uneasy under the gaze and avoided eye contact.

"Hmph, it has always been the capable who rise to the top."

Uchiha Setsuna, who had been sitting silently, slowly spoke.

Uchiha Hachimoku's momentum immediately weakened.

After all, Uchiha Setsuna was far superior to him in terms of both seniority and ability.

“Elder Setsuna, Captain Fugaku is the captain of the Konoha Police Department and also the leader of our clan.”

Uchiha Hachimoku carefully considered his words.

This man was imprisoned for rebelling, and he had a very violent temper when he was young.

Although I'm older now, I still retain some of the fierceness I used to have.

"It seems that people have split into two factions."

The perceptive Uchiha Shisui noticed the disconnect in the atmosphere.

At this time, a large number of Uchiha ninjas had gathered at the Naga Shrine.

They were all crammed under the Nanga Shrine, making it look very crowded.

These ninjas gradually split into two voices.

The older generation and the doves are more supportive of conservative forces like Fugaku.

The new generation of Uchiha and the more radical ones are more supportive of Kiyoshi.

They thought Fugaku was too weak.

Whenever the Konoha Police Department's authority clashes with that of the Anbu, the Anbu always gets priority.

"What is Kiyoshi thinking?"

Shisui observed everything around him, trying to figure out which was the right choice.

"Kiyoshi, many clansmen support you becoming Hokage."

Mikoto tugged at Kiyoshi's sleeve, feeling happy for him.

Qingsi nodded slightly.

It's normal for people to support him. Apart from being young, he has no flaws in any aspect, and is even far superior to others.

In the Uchiha clan, which reveres power, Kiyoshi is undoubtedly the answer.

Moreover, he didn't have the bad temper of those strongmen, and he was humble to others.

"Kiyoshi, do you want to be Hokage?"

The clansmen were discussing heatedly. After listening to these voices for a while, Fugaku asked Kiyoshi a question.

"Hokage... I think everyone would want to be Hokage."

Kiyoshi spoke calmly, his gaze fixed on Fugaku.

It's unlikely that the Fourth Hokage position will belong to the Uchiha clan.

However, it's not impossible to try and fight for it. (End of Chapter)
