Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

"Humph."

Yuzuki let out a cold snort; despite her haggard appearance, her face still carried the haughty air of a mature woman.

The loose prison uniform, along with the movements of the teak figure, subtly revealed its rounded curves.

Both the Fourth Raikage and Yugito, the Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails, had dedicated ninjas guarding them.

The one who changed Yugito's clothes was naturally a female ninja.

This wasn't Konoha being kind enough to protect Yugito's privacy; it was to prevent the Tailed Beasts from going out of control.

Once a Jinchūriki's mind is stimulated, there is a chance that he will go berserk.

If the tailed beasts were allowed to run rampant here, it would inevitably cause great losses to Konoha.

Therefore, we need to be more cautious when dealing with the issue of teak figurines and avoid provoking them.

"Even your Fourth Raikage wouldn't dare speak to me like that."

Kiyoshi raised his hand and placed it on the center of the teak figurine's forehead.

The teak figure, standing right in front of him, had no time to dodge and was hit by Kiyoshi's attack on the spot.

Lightning Release: Lightning Finger!

The teak man shuddered, his body going limp under the numbing effect of the electric current.

She grabbed the black railing with her hands to support herself and prevent herself from collapsing in a disheveled state.

"You can kill me, but you can never defeat me..."

After calming down for a while, Yumu finally spoke with trembling lips.

"Yeah."

Qingsi smiled slightly.

Between life and death, there is a state called "living worse than death".

"It seems you still need to accept your current situation as a prisoner."

Kiyoshi slowly and methodically looked the teak figure up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.

Beneath the originally loose black and white striped prison uniform, Teakman was now bent over, gripping the bars with both hands to support his body.

From the side, you can see that the black and white striped trousers are stretched taut, giving the buttocks a full curve.

Yugito doesn't have the voluptuous charm of Hinatsuki Hyuga or Mikoto; instead, she exudes a cool and aloof older sister vibe.

Simply put, it means squinting slightly and looking at others with a disdainful gaze.

This is a type that is rarely seen.

Naturally, his pupil power fluctuated.

"Whatever you say."

The teak man adopted a "dead pig doesn't fear boiling water" attitude.

"So, the Cloud Village doesn't care either?"

Kiyoshi's lips curled up slightly.

Like other Jinchuriki, Yugito had a tragic childhood.

This type of person craves recognition more than the average person, wanting to feel that their life has value.

Therefore, serving the village became the thought of most of the tailed beast jinchūriki.

"What do you want to do?"

As expected, Teakman's heart tightened, and he quickly asked a question.

"not so good."

Kiyoshi then repeated the same explanation he had given to the Fourth Raikage.

"!"

Yuzuki Man clearly hadn't expected Kiyoshi to be so shameless.

"Moreover, I can control you to turn against the village at any time."

The red glint in Kiyoshi's eyes flashed and disappeared in an instant.

The saying "to kill someone is to destroy their spirit" means to make a person destroy what they care about most with their own hands.

What do teak people care about?

It is obvious that, like the Fourth Raikage, he is from Kumogakure.

And... there are also those "bonds" she cherishes.

"Damn it, you're a demon!"

Teakman excitedly pounded on the black railing, wanting to rush out and give Kiyoshi a good punch.

"Am I a demon?"

Kiyoshi found it amusing. "From beginning to end, this war was something you wanted to start."

What he did in Sunagakure was simply to give the events of the original story a push, making them happen faster.

The martial arts faction of Kumogakure has long been eager to launch the Third Shinobi World War.

In other words, the Cloud Village is the invader.

The Land of Fire is the defender this time.

Those who participated in launching a war of aggression are, to put it bluntly, war criminals.

Yugito, a Jinchūriki of a Tailed Beast, has countless lives on his hands, stained with the blood of Konoha ninja.

Compared to Kiyoshi, what Kumogakure did was more like something a demon would do.

"The victor is king, the loser is villain; it has always been so. Was this fertile land of the Land of Fire originally meant for you?"

The teakman sneered.

"That's all."

Kiyoshi did not say anything more.

Some people only behave after being given a little punishment.

He didn't bother with words and directly conjured a flashing arc of electricity in his palm.

At the same time, black, wavy runes covered the electric arc.

Lightning Release: Wave Magnet Lightning Finger.

Kiyoshi pointed at the teak doll again, and a circular arc of electricity enveloped the teak doll's body before quickly entering it.

This is a technique that Kiyoshi learned from Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast. By adding Magnet Release chakra to Lightning Release ninjutsu and following certain special routes, it can achieve the effect of a sealing technique.

"what did you do to me?"

The teak man's unease grew stronger.

"A current has been sealed inside. From now on, it will activate once every hour until the chakra is exhausted."

Then, without waiting for Yuzuki to reply to Kiyoshi.

Her vision went black, and her pupils were now above her eyelids.

Tsk~!

Teakman: "Ugh!"

……

"How is the interrogation going, Lord Qing?"

"A female ninja in charge of guarding the area asked."

"I need to interrogate them further. I will come back later."

Kiyoshi turned his head and said.

He thought of Ibiki Morino's exclusive blood pact summoning technique, "Summoning Technique: Torture Room".

It can summon several iron chains with sealing abilities to bind enemies and pull them into a torture chamber in another dimension, which is filled with various torture instruments.

The caster can use this opportunity to torture the enemy both mentally and physically.

However, the caster will also suffer the same pain, which needs to be improved.

After pondering for a moment, Kiyoshi felt it was necessary to acquire this psychic ability.

This might be helpful for his future interrogations of new female ninjas.

"Yes, Lord Seiji."

The female ninja nodded and said.

After Kiyoshi left, she went on patrol as usual to check the situation.

When she got closer, she found the teakman hugging himself, looking like he was in great pain on the bed.

The bed sheet was soaked with something, I couldn't tell if it was sweat or something else.

Just as the female ninja was about to go check if Yugito was sick, she suddenly remembered Kiyoshi, who had just left.

"It must be a side effect of the interrogation."

The female ninja stood there and observed for a while, and found that Yukito was just trembling, without making any extra movements.

Her complexion also began to regain its rosy hue and return to normal.

Then he left and went to patrol other places.

After the female ninja left, Yugito couldn't help but let out a low growl, like a cat hissing.

"Damn it."

The teak man frowned.

Kiyoshi sealed the electric current inside her, intending to end the current state.

All we can do is wait for Kiyoshi's chakra to run out.

"Well……"

After resting for a while, Yukito never felt that an hour could be so short.

Soon, she was struck by electricity again.

……

The next day.

"Phew, so this is space-time ninjutsu?"

Honglian watched the surrounding scenery change a few times before arriving at a rural area.

Just a moment ago, she was still in the village with Kiyoshi.

The next moment, they found themselves in the wilderness, in the mountains and forests.

"Unfortunately, it's too difficult to learn."

Qingsi shook his head.

Honglian has no talent in space-time ninjutsu, and even if she tries to learn it, it's unknown how long it would take to even get the basics down.

In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, after Minato Namikaze's death, only Genma's team could use the "Flying Thunder Formation Technique".

This technique has the same instantaneous teleportation effect as the "Flying Thunder God Technique".

In layman's terms, it's a youthful version of the "Flying Thunder God Technique".

The three members of the Xuanjian Squad need to form a formation together and use a portion of the spells together for it to be effective.

Besides this, no one else knows the "Flying Thunder God Technique".

That's right, including the future Boruto Uzumaki.

Although his space-time ninjutsu is also called "Flying Thunder God Technique," the difference was pointed out incisively by Jiraiya's clone, Kashin Koji.

Because Boruto had no chance to see the real "Flying Thunder God Technique" while wandering the ninja world as a rogue ninja, he had to constantly evade capture.

Through daily exploration of space-time ninjutsu, Boruto developed a "subspecies Flying Thunder God Technique" using his own methods.

This technique works in the same way as the original "Flying Thunder God Technique," using chakra to mark the location, then sensing the location of the mark, and finally summoning the chakra.

The difference is that Boruto can only imprint on "metal" and sense the chakra attached to it.

However, mediums such as the human body, large trees, and rocks cannot be used to complete the engraving.

It also has a major flaw: if two "iron" shuriken are used as a medium and fly in different directions, Boruto will have no way of knowing which "iron" shuriken he will be teleported to.

Therefore, different graphics and different metal compositions are needed for differentiation and marking.

"If I were to simplify space-time ninjutsu in the future, I might be able to teach it to you."

Kiyoshi patted Honglian's head, a few strands of blue hair swirling around his fingertips.

Honglian has always been loyal and has never disobeyed Qing Si's orders.

So giving some perks to subordinates is perfectly acceptable.

"really?"

Honglian's eyes lit up, but she quickly realized her slip of the tongue and hurriedly explained:

"It's not that I don't believe what Lord Kiyoshi means, I'm just too pleasantly surprised."

Seeing Honglian's flustered attempt to explain, Qing Si gently comforted her.

For Kiyoshi, teaching his subordinates space-time ninjutsu was also a benefit.

This can greatly increase the efficiency of subordinates, allowing more places to be managed with only a few subordinates.

"Let's go visit the orphanage."

Kiyoshi looked towards the southern hilltop, where he could vaguely see the presence of buildings.

Honglian quickly followed Qing Si's figure, and the two walked one after the other in the woods.

Before long, Kiyoshi and Honglian arrived at the orphanage.

The paint on the exterior walls had long since peeled off, revealing the old, mottled bricks underneath.

Behind the orphanage, a large field was cultivated, on which all sorts of crops were planted.

"Life is indeed not easy."

Kiyoshi glanced at it and came to a conclusion.

Danzo Shimura probably still had his hands on the orphanage's economic lifeline, since such outstanding talents would never be lacking.

Especially now that he has lost his position as the leader of the Root, he needs a skilled spy like Yakushi Nonou to act as his eyes and ears.

"Speaking of which, Danzo Shimura did hide quite a few things."

As Kiyoshi looked at the orphanage, he pondered in his heart.

This is a plot point only mentioned in "Boruto".

During his time leading Root, Danzo Shimura secretly devised a plan called "Bullhead Heavenly King." He had people create a monster called "Nue" based on the characteristics of "Hashirama cells," which would explode once a certain amount of chakra was stored in it.

It can be described as something akin to a large bomb.

Furthermore, it possesses the ability to absorb chakra, using its tail to grab targets and absorb their chakra, which can then be transformed into food for the "Nue".

The so-called "Ox-Headed Heavenly King" is a space-time secret technique of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

The "Nue" can be sealed in spacetime and exist as a mark. By forming hand seals, the "Bull-Headed Heavenly King" can be implanted into another person's body. The user of the "Bull-Headed Heavenly King" can then be sent to an enemy country, causing it to go berserk and self-destruct, razing the surrounding area to the ground.

With just a few infiltrators entering the enemy village, a sudden attack could inflict devastating damage.

Of course, this experiment is currently in a stage of refinement.

Finally, the root of the raccoon dog, Shigaraki, made some improvements and planted it on its daughter, Sumire.

"Kaguya's secret technique is worth learning about."

Kiyoshi had already figured out how to divide up "Bullhead King".

Kiyoshi...you've arrived?

Yakushi Nonou saw Kiyoshi standing below from the second-floor window.

"Teacher Nono."

Kiyoshi smiled and said.

"Come in quickly."

Yakushi Nono came down from the second floor.

She hadn't expected Qing Si to be so quick; she had just written and sent the letter a few days ago.

“I learned that the orphanage was not doing well, so I came.”

Kiyoshi looked at Yakushi Nono.

Yakushi Nonou was still the same as before, with round-framed glasses and a saintly face tinged with a faint sadness.

Below, her curvaceous figure was covered by the heavy nun's habit.

Even with the nun's habit covering her, her curves are still visible.

It's really hard to look away, especially when paired with Yakushi Nonou's face.

It is filled with a kind of ascetic anti-…

"Dean, have we had any guests?"

Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses and saw Kiyoshi and Guren standing outside the door.

"Dou, quickly prepare some tea."

Yakushi Nonou turned around and said.

"Yes, Dean."

Yakushi Kabuto nodded and went to the kitchen as instructed by Yakushi Nonou.

The astute man had already figured out why Kiyoshi was here.

Naturally... they're short of money.

Kabuto clenched his fist.

Or perhaps he's just too incompetent.

Even a Jonin would find it difficult to support the expenses of an orphanage.

Besides, these guys could only be considered ninjas in a nutshell.

"Dou, I'll help you too."

Urushi adjusted his black hat and followed Yakushi Kabuto to the kitchen.

"Qingsi, how have you been lately?"

Yakushi Nonou looked somewhat embarrassed, tucked a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear, and sat on the dilapidated stool.

Asking her disciple for help made Yakushi Nonou feel uncomfortable.

She felt like she was sucking blood from Kiyoshi.

Even though it was the orphanage she was in charge of, she kept asking Kiyoshi for help.

Instead of supporting Qing Si, the older woman wanted him to do something for the orphanage.

Furthermore, thinking about what happened with Kiyoshi last time made Yakushi Nonou feel even more guilty.

squeak……

The stool that Yakushi Nonou was sitting on made a slight noise.

The old stool wobbled at the joints and would start to rock at the slightest movement.

As a result, the flesh of Yakushi Nono's buttocks under the black fabric trembled slightly, showing a tendency to deform under the chair.

Kiyoshi glanced at it twice, his expression unchanged.

But in her heart, she sighed that time could not defeat beauty.

He had known Nono since he was a child and became Nono's apprentice.

Even now, Yakushi Nonou shows no signs of aging; instead, she exudes a sense of maturity and grace.

As the old saying goes, women are like fine wine; the longer they are aged, the more mellow and fragrant they become.

"This is three million taels."

Kiyoshi took out a sealed scroll containing all the money he had saved.

Such an amount is just a small sum for Qing Si now; he needs a lot of money.

Kiyoshi has undertaken many S-class missions over the years.

In addition, he also received generous sponsorship from the daimyo of the Land of Demons, and sold a ninja sword.

Three million taels was nothing to the Qing officials.

The distribution of wealth in the ninja world is actually unfair; the truly wealthy are the merchants and nobles.

However, if a ninja wants to remain within the ninja system, they can only abide by the rules and honestly accept missions to earn money.

After becoming a rogue ninja, Zabuza Momochi helped Gato with his work.

For example, the reward for an S-rank mission is over one million, but the bounty for Sarutobi Asuma's head at the gold exchange is thirty-five million.

How much bounty would Kakashi and others have had during that period?
"That's far too much."

Yakushi Nonou was taken aback.

Pharmacist Nono, who has run an orphanage for many years, also understands how hard it is to earn every penny.

How many missions would Qing Si need to carry out behind the scenes to earn three million taels?

For ninjas, every mission of rank B or higher carries the risk of death!

The only difference lies in the probability of death; the stronger the ninja, the less likely they are to make a mistake.

"nothing."

Qingsi shook his head.

He had already thought of ways to make money in the future.

That is the "environmental transformation machine" of the Snow Country.

After obtaining and completing the semi-finished product, Kiyoshi can transform the desert of the Wind Kingdom, develop the land, or sell water in exchange for resources.

Water is of paramount importance in a country where most of the land is desert.

Whether it's ensuring the survival of ninjas or irrigating crops, water is indispensable.

"This……"

A conflicted look appeared on Yakushi Nonou's face.

She didn't want to accept the money, but the orphanage desperately needed it.

If this continues, it wouldn't be surprising if children starved to death.

Ultimately, the Land of Fire pays far too little attention to orphanages.

In these extraordinary times, we don't have much time to deal with these matters.

"Then I'll accept it. Thank you, Kiyoshi."

Yakushi Nonou said with a serious expression.

She was deeply moved and felt that taking Kiyoshi as her apprentice was the best decision she had ever made in her life.

"How can I thank you for our relationship?"

Qing Si spoke up.

"By the way, is Konoha currently holding a Hokage selection?"

After putting away the scroll, Yakushi Nonou asked.

Even she, who was in the orphanage, knew about this news.

Selecting a "shadow" for a village is a major event.

This will have a radiating effect on the entire Land of Fire.

"Yes."

Qingsi nodded.

Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi did nothing, he should have stepped down at his age.

For example, after the Fourth Hokage died, he resumed power as the Third Hokage.

Such an event is unprecedented in other ninja villages.

Normally, the Fifth Hokage would be chosen directly, with Hiruzen Sarutobi assisting him as the Hokage.

"Does Lord Kiyoshi also want to become Hokage?"

Guren asked.

As an outsider, she naturally could not participate in the secret gatherings at the Nanga Shrine, and therefore was unaware that the Uchiha had split into two factions.

"I do have some ideas."

Kiyoshi replied.

It would be best if it could work out, but it's okay if it doesn't.

"You must be very busy."

Pharmacist Nono Udo.

To run for Hokage, you need supporters.

To gain support, one must engage in social interaction and reach out to more ninjas.

This is a very energy-consuming task.

"Fortunately."

Qingsi nodded.

For an Uchiha to act with an arrogance that is not typical of Uchiha is already a trademark.

Is there anything I can do for you?

Yakushi Nonou hesitated for a moment before asking.

She didn't feel quite at ease taking the money for nothing.

I always have this urge to do something for Kiyoshi.

"Um... Ms. Nono, may I speak to you in private?"

Kiyoshi stroked his chin and said.

There are many things that Yakushi Nonou can do.

You can teach him spy infiltration techniques and discuss medical knowledge with him.

We can also discuss how to add a person to the orphanage.

"May I ask?"

Yakushi Nonou gripped the scroll tightly.

She raised her emerald green eyes to look at Qing Si, meeting his gaze, which was clearly somewhat intense.

This made Yakushi Nonou instantly realize what Kiyoshi wanted to do.

She sighed softly to herself.

Has Kiyoshi still not given up on this old woman?

A sense of guilt kept spreading through Yakushi Nonou's heart.

It must be because she didn't provide proper guidance back then, which is why, many years later, Kiyoshi still has some of the wrong ideas about her that come with adolescence.

"……it is good."

After thinking it over and over, Yakushi Nonou finally nodded and agreed to let Kiyoshi go up first.

"Dean?"

When Kabuto arrived, he could only see the backs of Yakushi Nonou leading Kiyoshi upstairs. Kabuto, who was holding a cup of tea, froze.

"There's one more guest, Dou."

Urumqi Road.

He quickly placed the tea in his hand in front of Honglian.

The girl who came with Kiyoshi was clearly a ninja as well.

Where did these orphans end up?

Honglian asked casually.

Lord Kiyoshi went upstairs to take care of some business, leaving her to wait idly below.

"Some choose to live ordinary lives, while others, like Kabuto and I, choose to become ninjas."

Urumqi Road.

His talent was mediocre; even if he became a ninja, he would only ever be a low-level ninja.

But Kabuto Yakushi's talent is far superior to his, and Urushi hopes that Kabuto Yakushi's talent can be fully realized in the future.

"I see."

Honglian's face remained expressionless.

More than anything else, she was concerned about what Lord Kiyoshi had said.

It seems that Lord Si intends to recruit a group of subordinates here?
A sense of crisis immediately rose in Honglian's heart. (End of this chapter)
