Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Unfortunately, no matter what Honglian thinks, it won't affect the negotiations above.

"Teacher Nonou, I also want to fund the training of the orphans here so that they can become ninjas."

After entering the room, Kiyoshi stated his request.

The fact that some of the orphans in the orphanage were able to learn the medical ninjutsu taught by Yakushi Nonou is enough to demonstrate their aptitude.

They are far better than ordinary ninjas.

The orphans here don't know any basic Three Body Techniques; they only know how to use medical ninjutsu.

If you can do it, you can; if you can't, you can't.

"Yes, that's a good thing."

Yakushi Nonou pushed up her glasses and said.

Becoming a ninja is also a way out for the children here.

The two then began to discuss the details, and by 10 p.m., they had reached an agreement.

"Let's rest in the courtyard today, I'll arrange a room."

Pharmacist Nono Udo.

Kiyoshi traveled a long way from Konoha, and it was during the Hokage selection process, so he must be very tired.

"I'll feel more comfortable here. Can I stay a little longer?"

Suddenly, Qing Si spoke.

"of course can."

After a slight hesitation, Yakushi Nonou spoke.

But she felt uneasy.

This child still hasn't forgotten what happened before.

Just as Pharmacist Nonou was thinking about how to reintroduce Seiji, she saw Seiji get up and approach her step by step.

"Teacher Nonou, there's been so much going on in the village lately, could you help me relieve some stress?"

Kiyoshi said he is under a lot of pressure right now.

I hope that Yakushi Nonou could kindly lend a hand, even just a small favor.

"Are you under a lot of pressure...?"

Yakushi Nonou's body stiffened slightly as she looked at Kiyoshi's face close to hers and felt his hot breath.

between the lines...

As an excellent spy who had seen all sorts of things, how could she not see through Kiyoshi's intentions?
However, Yakushi Nonou felt more guilty and heartbroken.

Being able to become the director of an orphanage naturally proves Yakushi Nonou's kindness... and overflowing maternal love.

Having witnessed Kiyoshi grow up step by step, she felt this even more deeply.

Speaking of which, Kiyoshi was the first child she took care of.

First, it has always carried a special connotation.

For Yakushi Nonou, Kiyoshi was no exception.

Her eyes held a complex expression, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Her soft lips opened and closed a few times, but ultimately no sound came out.

She nodded with difficulty.

Because this is the only way she can repay Kiyoshi now.

The more you can't get something, the more you crave it.

Yakushi Nonou hopes that Kiyoji can let go and get back on track with his life.

Find a lovely woman your own age to date, instead of wasting your time on an older woman like her.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Ms. Nono."

Kiyoshi leaned forward and put his arm around Yakushi Nonou's waist.

I also felt the heavy fat that severed the distance between hearts.

"I think we can also discuss how to train these children in medical ninjutsu..."

Soon, only the sounds of discussion remained in the room.

Later on, perhaps Kiyoshi's words made sense.

There was only the deafening sound of applause.

These are the genuine emotions and recognition of Yakushi Nono.

Moved by everything Kiyoshi did for the orphanage, she agreed with Kiyoshi's plan.

……

Downstairs, Kabuto the Pharmacist had already gone to his room to rest and sleep with his companions.

They went to rest around 8 o'clock.

The lights in the orphanage go out at nine o'clock; that's the rule.

Honglian was also given a separate room to rest.

"What exactly were the Dean and Lord Kiyoshi talking about?"

Yakushi Kabuto, who usually falls asleep very early, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep tonight.

He looked up, gazing at the dim ceiling in the moonlight streaming through the window.

He wondered if it was just his imagination, but the ceiling seemed to be vibrating rhythmically.

He rubbed his eyes, not thinking much of it.

I guessed it was because I wasn't wearing my glasses and couldn't see clearly.

Every night before going to sleep, Kabuto would carefully put away the glasses that Nono Yakushi had given him to avoid losing them.

"Dou, go to sleep."

Uruxi's groggy voice came through.

"it is good."

Yakushi Kabuto responded.

Those eyes, however, showed no signs of sleepiness; the person was simply staring blankly at the ceiling.

After an unknown amount of time, Kabuto Yakushi faintly heard a mournful cry.

Unfortunately, the sound was too soft for him to hear clearly.

Excessive fatigue caused him to drift off to sleep.

In his dream, he dreamed that he had become the new director of the orphanage.

He began to protect the orphanage and the pharmacist Nono.

Everyone has a bright future ahead of them.

…………

The following day, Kiyoshi left.

Before leaving, he left some money for the pharmacist Nono.

Kabuto Yakushi is a smart man. Even if Kiyoshi tries to recruit him, he will be wary, and there might even be a spy among spies.

But Yakushi Nonou was different; Yakushi Kabuto truly valued him.

After accidentally killing Yakushi Nonou, Yakushi Kabuto completely lost himself.

Within Itachi Uchiha's endless loop of "Izanami," Kabuto Yakushi rediscovers himself by constantly recalling his past in the orphanage.

Only in the end did she see herself clearly and choose the same path as Yakushi Nonou.

After the Fourth Shinobi World War, he ran an orphanage with his childhood friend, Urushi.

"Was it something important that Lord Kiyoshi was discussing last night?"

"Yes, it involves a project worth several hundred million."

Kiyoshi patted Honglian's head.

Honglian looked up at Qingsi in surprise.

Several hundred million?
How big is this project?

This amount of money is more than she could earn in several lifetimes.

Soon, the two left and returned to Konoha.

After Kiyoshi left, sunlight streamed in through the window.

Yakushi Nonou opened her eyes, her face still bearing dried tear stains.

This is a natural consequence of the intense discussions that Kiyoshi had.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Yakushi Nonou gave a wry smile and began to tidy up the things inside the house.

While tidying up, she saw the scroll that Kiyoshi had put down.

Upon opening it, it revealed another two million taels.

A gentle warmth filled Yakushi Nonou's heart and abdomen.

"This child is really a good child."

Yakushi Nono sighed.

On the contrary, it was she who kept troubling Kiyoshi.

This prevented Kiyoshi from having the right values ​​and from interacting with women his own age.

After finishing up with the orphanage matters, Yakushi Nonou plans to go to Konoha to find Kiyoshi again.

She hopes to guide Kiyoshi back on the right track.

…………

Several peaceful days passed.

Until one morning, a large group of ninja clan leaders and their trusted subordinates headed towards the Hokage Building.

These people are generally Jonin.

It's very difficult for ninjas below the rank of Jonin to be qualified to participate in this meeting.

This is a tally of the voting results over this period of time...

The voting method is very simple: just put it in an anonymous envelope.

Qing Si scoffed at these methods.

It's nothing but feudalism disguised as democracy.

While it may seem like everyone will vote, a ninja's vote is actually much more effective than that of an ordinary person.

Suppose that tens of thousands of Konoha ninjas vote for one particular ninja, while hundreds of thousands of ordinary people choose another ninja.

The final result is self-evident.

This is ultimately a world where strength reigns supreme.

"what's wrong?"

Mikoto noticed Kiyoshi's emotional change and couldn't help but ask a question.

"I was just thinking about something."

Kiyoshi replied casually.

"Don't worry too much, Kiyoshi. You'll definitely make it into the nomination list today, and then we'll have a proper celebration."

Mikoto smiled gently, wanting to touch Kiyoshi, but worried about the impact on him in public.

After all, this is a major event involving the selection of Hokage. If one is preoccupied with personal feelings here, it will undoubtedly leave a bad impression.

"it is good."

Qingsi nodded.

Hokage nominees...

As early as when Kakashi's Sharingan was involved, the Konoha leadership had already reached a tacit agreement with the Uchiha clan.

It doesn't matter who from the Uchiha clan gets this spot.

Originally, "Fugaku with Fierce Eyes" was the most likely candidate to get the spot, but now Kiyoshi has emerged as the biggest variable.

But what good is it to get it?

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

He estimated that there was a high probability that the Konoha leadership would choose Minato Namikaze.

As for the Uchiha, they would naturally appease them.

It's very likely they'll be given a position just below the Hokage.

These things made no difference to Qing Si; what he wanted was to exchange these rights for resources.

The experimental base in the Land of Grass is still too small.

To grasp all the truths, one must invest a great deal of effort and understand their mysteries.

Like Naruto, he obtained the "Sage Mode of Six Paths" in a daze and became one of the world's top combatants.

Otherwise, with only "Sage Fox Mode," he simply couldn't defeat Madara Uchiha, let alone Kaguya Otsutsuki later on.

In the end, Naruto lost this power in a completely daze.

Unless the Sage of Six Paths bestows another gift, one will never be able to possess the "Sage of Six Paths Mode" again.

This outcome of being controlled by others is not what Qing Si wanted.

He wanted to uncover all the mysteries of the Otsutsuki clan and make them the foundation for his path to godhood.

Given the existence of the first Otsutsuki god, Otsutsuki Shibai, it's inevitable that a second one will appear beyond the endless starry sky.

He had to eliminate anything that might threaten Kiyoshi.

A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling a fold in the hem of Mikoto's skirt.

This also caused her black hair to flutter, revealing Mikoto's swan-like white neck, which complemented her exquisite face.

Just then, the cherry blossoms blooming by the roadside fell, and a few pink petals landed on Mikoto.

"let's go."

He casually brushed away the petals scattered among Mikoto's black hair and led her forward.

Mikoto felt Kiyoshi's fingers gently brushing against her hair, and her face flushed slightly.

She had a closer connection with Qing Si, but that was a reverse push from the Heavenly Gang.

Now it's Kiyoshi who's initiating the intimacy.

This difference captivated Mikoto.

A hint of crimson flashed in his black eyes.

As expected, Kiyoshi is the sweetest treasure.

Unfortunately... there were always other women entangled around Kiyoshi. Mikoto thought of Tsunade, who was 106cm tall, and also of Nohara Rin and Yuhi Kurenai, who were much younger than her.

Even her best friend Kushina.

Why can't her wishes always come true?

"Ok?"

When Kiyoshi looked over, the deep darkness in Mikoto's eyes instantly transformed into a bright, sparkling light.

"Let's go quickly."

This time it was Mikoto's turn to speak.

Kiyoshi nodded slightly, and the two continued walking.

Where Mikoto couldn't see, Fugaku Uchiha's face turned ashen.

My excitement today was dampened.

How far have things progressed between Mikoto and Kiyoshi?
What bothered Fugaku was that Mikoto, such a traditional woman, disregarded worldly opinions and chose to continue her somewhat ambiguous relationship with Kiyoshi.

The two are so far apart in age!

"Captain Fugaku, are you still looking at Mikoto?"

Uchiha Hachimoku couldn't understand why the wise and mighty Lord Fugaku had become such a sycophant.

Even when her relationship with Mikoto was still good, she could always appear very calm.

Is this what they mean by "we only know how to cherish something after we've lost it"?

Uchiha Yatsuhoku was more worried about Fugaku than anything else.

He was a true confidant of Fugaku, and his desire to help Fugaku get better was more intense than anyone else's.

“I’m looking at Seiji; he’s the most likely candidate to be nominated.”

Fugaku said calmly, trying to save face for himself.

"That's it."

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha did not expose him.

Gradually, more and more clansmen appeared on the streets of the Uchiha settlement.

Of course, not all members of the race can enter and participate in the meeting.

But their waiting outside wasn't considered breaking the rules.

"Wow, you're in good spirits."

Tiehuo wiped his mouth with a tissue. He had just finished eating a bowl of noodles in the morning before running out.

In the distance, a tall and slender figure could be seen, his strong and slender body powerfully supporting the long robe of the Uchiha clan.

Kiyoshi is described as a ninja, but he's more like a model.

Sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, sharp and defined like axe-cut or knife-carved lines.

"That's weird, this guy seems to be getting more and more handsome."

Uchiha Tetsuka murmured.

At first, Kiyoshi was very thin and small, but after training, he became strong and had a man's ruggedness.

But that doesn't quite qualify him as handsome or dashing.

But as time went on, Kiyoshi's figure improved and his face became more and more handsome.

If I had to describe it, it's like a process of perfect evolution, resulting in the golden ratio.

"You haven't developed some kind of unusual fetish, have you...?"

Uchiha Inahisa, standing to the side, felt a chill run down her spine and covered her private parts with her hand.

Kiyoshi is very popular with women; he is always surrounded by many women.

So now, can I finally attract men?

"Hey, hey, hey, are you thinking about something weird?!"

When Uchiha Tetsuka met Uchiha Inahisa's strange gaze and saw his exaggerated movements, he immediately understood what was going on.

"I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense."

Uchiha Inahi took a large step back.

"Who do you think gave you all those erotic books?"

Uchiha Tetsuka quickly denied it.

Prejudice between people is a mountain; if others misunderstand something, how can he find a good girl?

He does have someone he likes in the clan!

"enough."

Uchiha Tekka's father tapped him with his finger, saying with exasperation:

"Be mindful of the occasion today."

"It's... father."

Uchiha Tetsuka covered his head, not daring to refute.

"puff."

Uchiha Inahi held back her laughter.

"Everyone in the clan is very active."

Mikoto said.

"Yes."

Kiyoshi glanced around; there were quite a few people.

Even the owner of the Uchiha pancake shop, Uchiha Tessho, and his wife, Uchiha Kyo, came, which shows how much the clansmen cared about this matter.

That makes sense, since Kiyoshi's generation was the most prosperous generation of the Uchiha clan.

With geniuses like Kiyoshi and Shisui holding the fort outside, and pillars like Tetsuka and Inahikasa contributing to the Uchiha clan.

If the Uchiha clan continues to lie low and survives until "Boruto," they won't be any worse off than the Hyuga clan.

Furthermore, the Sharingan cloned by the Uchiha Shinbu clan could be freely transplanted into clan members who could not awaken the Sharingan.

In the ninja world, is there anyone more suited to the Sharingan than the Uchiha clan?
The Uchiha clan, whose members all possess the Sharingan, can only completely overwhelm the Hyuga clan, whose members all possess the Byakugan.

Unless Hyuga synthesizes the "Tenseigan", the base stats of the "Byakugan" are indeed too low.

"The white eye" is a strategic weapon in war, but it is not enough for an individual's individual strength.

"Lord Kiyoshi, do you now possess the qualities to become Hokage?"

Uchiha Shisui continued to observe this scene.

He was thinking about the relationship between his family and the village.

Suddenly, a woman caught Zhishui's eye.

That was Uchiha Hazuki.

From her expression, it was clear that she was somewhat afraid of Kiyoshi.

Why would they fear Kiyoshi?
Zhi Shui couldn't understand it.

He glanced at Kiyoshi, who was surrounded by the crowd, and suddenly thought to himself, "Perhaps there is a side of Lord Kiyoshi that I don't know about?"
…………

Before long, the conference room in the Hokage Building was filled with people.

The Hyuga clan, the Aburame clan, the Yamanaka clan, the Inuzuka clan...

All the prominent ninja clan leaders of Konoha came here.

This is... the aristocratic class.

They possess bloodline limits and secret techniques that ordinary ninjas do not have, giving them a significant advantage in certain areas.

There were also some ninjas from the commoner class.

They had nothing; all they could rely on was their talent and their ability to escape.

Apart from special cases like Minato Namikaze, almost all ordinary ninjas can only use the Five Elements Release Techniques as a means of fighting enemies.

"Has the Uchiha clan arrived?"

Nara Shikaku quietly observed this scene. The current head of the Nara clan intended to groom him to be the fifteenth head of the clan.

Therefore, he was still in a relatively central position in this meeting.

The living space is limited, and everyone here is a Jonin.

Some people can be in front, while others can only be in the back.

Behind this lies the ninja's strength and family background, which are unspoken rules that are never made public.

"Between Fugaku and Kiyoshi, the winner should be... Kiyoshi."

In a flash, Nara Shikaku arrived at the answer.

"Well said."

Nara Enju stroked his long black beard, satisfied with Nara Shikaku's deduction.

Do you know why?

"Kiyoshi possesses a stronger 'Will of Fire' than Fugaku."

Nara Shikaku replied almost without hesitation.

In Konoha, the "Will of Fire" can be considered politically correct.

The Uchiha clan also has its iconic figures.

That was Uchiha Kagami.

He became the Hokage's bodyguard and was one of the Second Hokage's confidants.

The current Uchiha Seiji bears the shadow of Uchiha Kagami.

Even if the Second Hokage were alive, he would choose Kiyoshi over Fugaku.

Fugaku is a typical Uchiha, but he's not politically correct enough.

"very good."

Nara Yanju said with a smile.

The Nara clan has a worthy successor.

While they were whispering amongst themselves, the Uchiha clan members immediately took over the center positions.

The other ninja clans also voluntarily retreated.

The Uchiha clan is somewhat considered the number one clan in Konoha, and no one wants to offend them at this time.

Some even started looking towards the Hyuga clan, hoping that the two clans would clash.

To their surprise, the Hyuga clan treated the Uchiha clan very mildly.

Their clan leader, Hiashi Hyuga, even greeted Kiyoshi and they chatted casually.

Whispers began to circulate in the conference room, only ceasing when the door clicked open again.

The high-ranking officials of Konoha and the officials from the Land of Fire who were observing the proceedings had arrived.

"Is everyone here?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi had the Anbu count the number of people, and then began to give his remarks.

He first talked about his childhood, and then about how he became Hokage.

It's basically a motivational message: even if you don't become Hokage this time, don't be discouraged.

Anyone who has contributed to Konoha and shed blood can run for the next Hokage.

Everyone has a chance, so don't be discouraged.

After talking for a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally got down to business.

The other ninjas also became serious, knowing that the crucial moment had arrived.

"Hiruzen, this is the proposed list."

Mitokado Homura pushed up his glasses and handed Hiruzen Sarutobi a list from a folded booklet.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi opened the list, it contained only a handful of names.

"The first one is Orochimaru."

Hiruzen Sarutobi read out the first person's name.

"Humph."

A glint of light flashed in Shimura Danzo's eyes. Orochimaru had already made a name for himself in the last Shinobi World War, not to mention his active role in the Third Shinobi World War.

His achievements cannot be insufficient.

Next, as long as Orochimaru defeats the other Hokage candidates and becomes Hokage, he can regain his position as the leader of Root.

Danzo Shimura didn't want to linger for even a second longer than he had experienced the taste of losing power.

The other ninjas also had knowing expressions, having anticipated this situation.

The Sannin are all very famous, so they wouldn't be surprised if Tsunade suddenly appeared.

"Heh heh, a nomination?"

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth.

It seems that in Sarutobi-sensei's heart, his disciple was not entirely without importance.

"The second one is Minato Namikaze."

As Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, he looked up at the dark mass of people, observing everyone's micro-expressions.

Thank you all for your support.

Minato Namikaze scratched his head and expressed his gratitude.

He was very happy.

If he gets nominated, he'll be on the next level and become Hokage, a dream come true!

"Congratulations, Minato."

Jiraiya was the first to offer his congratulations.

He was also happy for his disciple, Minato Namikaze.

"See what I told you? Minato is definitely going to become a Hokage candidate."

Jiraiya said smugly to Tsunade.

"Hmph, my disciple is not bad either."

Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya.

That face had a lewd smile, which almost made Tsunade punch him.

Because Jiraiya had the same smile when he peeked into the women's bathhouse... (End of Chapter)
