Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

"I will not forget."

Xiao Nan parted her lips slightly and said.

Seeing this, Kiyoshi turned around.

In just a short time, he could feel a strange and special chakra appearing in his body.

That chakra might be what is known as "heretical power".

Kiyoshi stretched out his hand, and the magnetic force dissipated from his hand.

Minerals buried deep in the earth are affected by magnetic forces and involuntarily begin to rise to the surface.

Various solid metallic minerals condensed in Kiyoshi's palm, with iron sand being the most abundant, quickly forming a jet-black four-cornered shuriken.

Magnet Release: Sand Iron Shuriken.

Next, Kiyoshi infused the sand iron shuriken he created with "heretical power".

"Scorpion, you later joined Akatsuki."

Kiyoshi asked the question knowingly, glancing at the scorpion on his left.

Behind Scorpion were several other members of the New Dawn, also draped in red cloud-patterned black robes.

"Hmph, you actually recognized me. Or did you use your Sharingan to see through 'Hiruko'?"

At this moment, the scorpion was not exposed.

His body is hidden inside "Hiruko," a tall puppet with a fierce face.

It also has a long stinger on its back, making it look like a real "scorpion".

This is a human puppet made from the ninja killed by Sasori. Sasori spent most of his time hiding inside this puppet, which made up for the weakness of puppet ninjas in close combat, so it was good at both offense and defense.

"You can guess."

Qing Si spoke calmly.

"Hiruko" is a pretty good puppet. It can release a large number of poison needles from its mouth, its left hand has a double mechanism, and its back has a demon face. It is very sturdy.

The stinger is also highly venomous; even a slight scratch can cause poisoning.

Kiyoshi guessed that the deadly poison on it was something Sasori had figured out on his own after leaving Sunagakure. What intrigued him was whether these toxins could harm him.
"Hiryu Amber - Needle Eight Waves!"

While Kiyoshi was still speaking, Scorpion suddenly launched a sneak attack.

The burly, fierce man's mouth gaped open, revealing a mechanism inside. The talisman on it conjured countless poisonous needles, which shot towards Qing Si in a dense barrage.

Kiyoshi waved his chakra in his left hand, sending all the poison needles flying.

He then threw the floating iron sand shuriken out of his hand.

laugh!
The sharp shuriken pierced directly into "Hiruko's" body. Kiyoshi deliberately controlled the force, preventing it from piercing through, and instead left it inside.

"You even want a tiny shuriken..."

A cold smile appeared in the scorpion's eyes, and a hint of mockery appeared on his doll-like face.

Even if you can break through the sturdy "Hiruko", so what?

Hidden inside, his original form had been transformed into a puppet.

Even if it is injured or damaged, it can be restored to its original state by simply replacing the mechanical parts.

Unlike ordinary flesh and blood, their strength is greatly reduced when injured, and they need the help of medical ninjas to heal.

"Really? Why don't you move a little?"

Kiyoshi stood still, his black hair dancing wildly in the wind.

"What's wrong with moving a little..."

Before Sasori could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a strange force disrupting his chakra flow and sealing it off.

His face changed drastically.

For a puppet, chakra is its driving force.

If chakra is obstructed, the intricate internal mechanisms cannot function properly.

Sasori tried to extract more chakra, but the conflict was an obstacle, and to no avail.

"The effect is okay."

Kiyoshi casually conjured several more sand shuriken, freezing the Akatsuki ninjas around Sasori in place.

At this moment, the "heretical power" that had just been nourishing his body was exhausted.

As time passed, this "heretical power" began to slowly emerge again under the nourishment of the physical body.

"Hmm... May I use the various techniques from the 'Heretical Path' series?"

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

The Rinnegan contains the power of the Outer Path, allowing the use of techniques such as "Summoning: Outer Path Golem" and "Outer Path: Samsara Reincarnation Technique".

Perhaps he could also use "heretical power" to try and get a little bit of it?
Whether it will work or not remains to be seen, since Kiyoshi is not a "Rinnegan," but only possesses "heretical power."

Furthermore, the current "power of heretics" is very weak and needs time to accumulate more.

"Wooden Release: The birth of the tree world!"

Suddenly, Obito seized the opportunity and launched a fierce attack.

After a thunderous tremor, thick branches and vines burst forth from the ground, growing larger and larger, entangled and tore apart everything in their path.

"Wood Release..."

Kiyoshi knew that Obito had made his move.

However, in the original work, Obito only showed a few secret techniques such as "Wood Release: Pole Planting Technique", and he was only a novice in "Wood" Release.

Kiyoshi narrowed his eyes and, after seeing Obito's unusually large size, understood.

This is Ah Fei's power.

When Tobi puts himself on Yamato, he can add his power to Yamato's body, allowing him to perform the special "Wood Release: Wood Human Technique".

The "Wood Release: Wood Human Technique" used by Tobi and the "Wood Release: Wood Human Technique" used by Hashirama Senju have completely different appearances and are also different in power.

The wooden figure created by Tobi is in the shape of a Buddha, with a ring of numerous wooden hands growing from its back. On top of the Buddha's head are five smaller Buddha heads, each capable of using chakra ninjutsu of a different attribute.

His "Wood Release: Wood Man Technique" is actually a more advanced version of "Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands".

"Then... Sage Art: Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation."

Kiyoshi controlled the fourth stage of "Susanoo" and formed hand seals, spitting out a large swath of flames that swept over the spreading branches like an ocean.

With a loud bang, the flames crackled and popped as they burned the tree branches.

Kiyoshi made outstanding contributions during the Third Shinobi World War, so it wasn't difficult for him to exchange for a "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation," which was only a B-rank fire ninjutsu, within his clan.

The raging flames and branches created a blazing inferno that threatened to engulf the entire canyon.

If it weren't for the rain covering the distance, naturally creating a buffer zone, the fire would probably have spread further and further.

At the level of Kiyoshi, casual battles can significantly alter the terrain.

Therefore, both Hashirama and Naruto chose water as the battlefield to minimize the environmental damage caused by ninjutsu.

"Madara, you're a rogue ninja, how dare you use the techniques of our First Hokage?"

Kiyoshi crossed his arms and looked at Obito, who was acting strangely.

Obito's subordinates continued their work, forming hand seals once more to manipulate the trees into a wooden Buddha statue.

He inherited Madara's legacy, and after fusing with half of Hashirama's cells, he also learned many Wood Release techniques.

It's just that many secret techniques cannot be used in his original state and require A-Fei's blessing.

"These are things that a junior like you shouldn't know."

Even at this moment, Obito did not forget to maintain his persona.

He created a giant Buddha statue with countless arms and controlled those arms to strike Kiyoshi's "Susanoo".

After Kiyoshi's fourth-stage "Susanoo" grew legs, its height expanded once again, reaching a terrifying 25 meters.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Sasuke's fourth-stage "Susanoo" was only about nineteen meters long.

However, compared to the Buddha statues created by Tobi and Obito, Kiyoshi's "Susanoo" was still a step shorter.

"Wood Release... it's huge!"

Qing Si sighed slightly.

There's no way around it; even the "Complete Susanoo" is only about 120 meters tall.

The tallest Susanoo should be Madara Uchiha's Susanoo.

His Susanoo, enhanced by the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and Sage Mode, is estimated to be over 800 meters tall.

Sasuke's "Perfect Susanoo" is insignificant in comparison.

Of course, this scene only appears in "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4". Neither the anime nor the manga version of Madara Uchiha had the chance to use this move.

Perhaps he had just gathered both Rinnegan and was about to use them when Black Zetsu ripped out his heart.

Bang!
Countless giant hands collided with Kiyoshi's "Susanoo," raising clouds of dust and causing the earth to crack.

The two fought back and forth, leaving the area below in a complete mess.

Xiao Nan could only use her paper wings to nimbly dodge the attacks.

The immense scale of this battle even attracted Yahiko and others.

"Xiao Nan, how is the situation now?"

Yahiko asked eagerly.

"Nagato has been defeated by Kiyoshi and is on that hill ahead."

Xiao Nan pointed in a direction where a section of the mountain peak had been blasted flat.

"Let's go take a look."

Yahiko looked up at the massive figures being ridden by Kiyoshi and Obito, knowing that there would be little point in him going to fight at this level, so he decided to go and check on Nagato's situation first.

Not long after, Yahiko arrived at Nagato's place.

He picked up all the boulders that had fallen on Nagato and put them aside.

Nagato's emaciated appearance was exposed before them.

"Nagato, why are you doing this?"

Yahiko couldn't understand it.

Why does Nagato, who usually seems to have the best temper, harbor such extreme obsession deep down?

"Those who do not understand suffering will not truly understand peace."

Nagato coughed up a mouthful of blood and spoke slowly.

"But from the moment you inflict pain on others, aren't you also the initiator of pain? How are you any different from those ninjas who invaded the Land of Rain?"

Yahiko asked.

Instead, Nagato fell silent. After a long pause, Nagato said:
"No, I'm doing this for peace, but they're doing it for destruction and profit."

Nagato recounts his differences.

To get to where he is today, he has developed his own unique value system.

"That's all."

Yahiko shook his head and helped Nagato up.

If we can defeat Madara Uchiha this time, we can bring Nagato back to Akatsuki.

Despite the internal strife raging in the Land of Rain, it still maintains an overall appearance of peace.

If Akatsuki were to split, the Land of Rain could face an even more terrifying situation than when Amegakure was reborn.

"Can Kiyoshi really defeat Madara Uchiha?"

Yahiko looked at the enormous Buddha statue at Obito's feet, feeling uncertain.

"I've set up a lot of explosive tags around here, so I'll help if anything happens."

Xiaonan Road.

She wasn't just standing there staring blankly; she used the "Divine Paper Technique" to disguise all the "explosive tags" she was carrying.

Before the "Art of the God of Paper," she can disguise paper as any object, whether it be a tree, weeds, rocks, or even flowing water.

Such exquisite ninjutsu is almost impossible to detect even with the Sharingan's perception.

"Okay." Yahiko thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

More companions will arrive later, and they will be able to help Kiyoshi defeat Madara.

As the two talked, more and more gaps began to appear on the Buddha statue beneath Obito's feet.

Kiyoshi's Susanoo also had many tears on its surface, but they were all repaired immediately.

"Just how much chakra does Uchiha Kiyoshi have?"

Obito grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed; Kiyoshi Uchiha's chakra reserves seemed bottomless.

He was facing a Jinchuriki with a Tailed Beast inside him, whose chakra was extremely vast.

"No, perhaps it's because of 'immortal arts'?"

Obito frowned.

Unfortunately, he doesn't possess the power of "immortal arts".

Moreover, Madara Uchiha, who passed on many of his teachings to him, probably wouldn't either.

Otherwise, Madara would have no reason to give up this "Sage Art" that could enhance the power of his techniques several times over.

What are you spacing out about?

Kiyoshi swung his chakra fist and punched the Buddha statue, shattering two or three arms, sending splinters of wood flying everywhere.

"Um... the baby is about to be born, and I have something to do."

Kiyoshi said it casually.

The child he was referring to was a clone of Nohara Rin.

Upon hearing this, Obito's windmill-shaped kaleidoscope pattern contracted, and faint blue veins bulged on his neck.

A false world, a false Lin!

Obito was furious and controlled the five small heads on the Buddha statue to unleash five elemental chakra ninjutsu.

Flames, gales, thunder, mudslides, and water swirls spewed from the mouths of different Buddhas, all rushing towards Qing Si.

Kiyoshi drew his bow again and released a black chakra arrow.

The chakra arrows and the Five Elements Escape Technique collided, creating ripples of air waves that spread outwards in concentric circles.

"Obito, your chakra is about to give out."

"It's Tobi, who's wrapped around Obito, reminding me."

If this drags on, Obito will only meet one fate: being defeated by Kiyoshi.

If Obito doesn't even have the chakra to use "Kamui," he won't be able to escape.

"I know."

Suppressing his anger, Obito jumped down while the Buddha statue beneath him was entangled with Kiyoshi using hundreds of arms.

If he can touch Kiyoshi and bring him into the Kamui dimension, then he can be said to have won.

However, just as Obito was about to touch Kiyoshi, he discovered that the more than 20-meter-tall "Susanoo" and Kiyoshi's figure had disappeared together.

When he subconsciously looked up, he saw Kiyoshi appear in the air, with three black arrows nocked on a black bow.

shhhhhh!
Three shots were fired in quick succession!

Ten no Kakuya!
This incredibly fast sound created a shockwave that was visible to the naked eye.

The arrow's speed completely exceeded the speed of sound.

"What...it can actually teleport Susanoo along with it?"

Obito was deeply shaken.

In order to better deal with Uchiha Kiyoshi, he studied information about the "Flying Thunder God Technique".

The most obvious weakness is that it consumes too much chakra. The larger the chakra required to teleport, the greater the consumption for the caster.

Activating Susanoo for an extended period of time would be an overload for the Uchiha clan, yet Kiyoshi still had the energy to teleport away with them.

At the critical moment, Obito desperately activated "Hollowfication" and narrowly avoided the chakra arrow.

He could even sense the astonishing danger emanating from the chakra arrow; if he had taken a direct hit from it, he would probably have been left with only a few cells and tissue.

"He is... the 'Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan'?"

Obito looked at Kiyoshi with final fear.

No, it's impossible.

Obito subconsciously refuted his own earlier guess.

Kiyoshi didn't have any "Hashirama cells" transplanted into him, nor did he have any blood relatives who could exchange eyes with him. How did he obtain this power?
Could it be that he possesses the same qualities as Hashirama Senju?

At this moment, Obito couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

Ultimately, he was just a semi-illiterate ninja who hadn't learned anything in six years of education. Not long after his debut, he was taken to special training by Madara Uchiha, which led to his corruption.

He then underwent a large transplant of "interstitial cells," which caused many parts of his body to turn into this deathly pale skin.

Kiyoshi, however, achieved the same effect without paying any price.

Could it be called "Qingsi cells"?
Obito couldn't figure it out.

Boom!

An explosion rang out behind Obito, and the Buddha statue, no longer under his control, began to crumble after its chakra was exhausted.

The chakra arrow blasted a circular crater in the ground, and just as it was about to land, Obito used "Kamui" to teleport away.

In this battle, his physical injuries were not as severe as they had been in the past.

But his heart was riddled with holes.

Whether it was strength or women, he lost to Kiyoshi in every aspect.

"Let you experience the prosperity of this fake world a little longer."

Obito looked at Kiyoshi and already had a plan in mind.

That was the experimental illusion of "Infinite Tsukuyomi," called "Limited Tsukuyomi."

As long as you have enough chakra, you can have the same ability to confuse reality as "Izanagi".

It is said to be able to take the user to a parallel world that is the opposite of its mirror image.

Once he completes this technique, perhaps he can send that damned Uchiha Kiyoshi away.

hiss……

As the spatial ripples rotated, Obito pulled Sasori and Kakuzu along before leaving, and slowly entered the Kamui dimension.

"Defeating Obito didn't cause any attribute drops?"

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

He guessed that Obito wasn't strong enough yet, and that once Obito became stronger, he should be able to get the corresponding entry.

"Did Madara escape?"

Konan watched Obito's figure disappear and couldn't help but feel regretful.

On second thought, given Madara's age, he probably wouldn't live much longer, so it wouldn't matter if he escaped.

"Mr. Kiyoshi, thank you for your help this time. Please come and visit us at Xiao."

Yahiko extended an invitation.

"Alright."

Qing Si nodded happily.

He was still waiting for Konan's reward, so a trip to the Akatsuki organization would be a good idea.

Soon, Kiyoshi returned to Akatsuki's base.

The buildings here are filled with various steel structures and pipes for draining rainwater.

This is an essential item for every household in the Land of Rain.

If the rain doesn't stop all year round, it will quickly accumulate into puddles without proper drainage and management, making it difficult to live in.

It wasn't until nightfall that Kiyoshi finally met Konan.

"Kiyoshi...Nagato's injury..."

Xiao Nan was a little embarrassed.

Although Nagato's injuries were inflicted by Kiyoshi, Nagato was fighting with the conviction of killing Kiyoshi at that time.

It's somewhat inappropriate to ask Kiyoshi to treat Nagato now.

But now, the Akatsuki organization has no one left who can heal Nagato.

Furthermore, due to the injury, Nagato's previously injured legs are now at risk of recurrence.

That was the injury Hanzo of the Salamander inflicted on Nagato with his "Exploding Flame Array" back then; it's not something that can be easily erased.

The medical ninjas currently say that if the situation worsens, Nagato will have to have his limbs amputated.

"Well... let's keep things separate. I'd like to talk about our previous compensation first."

Qingsi said.

Kiyoshi will go to rescue Nagato.

He kept Nagato, which was somewhat useful.

If Kiyoshi had someone he wanted to revive, he could learn from Madara Uchiha's strong control over Obito and force Nagato to use the "Outer Path: Samsara Reincarnation Technique".

Ryushita's "Dragon's Life Reincarnation" can also revive people, but only those who have just died.

Of course, the reward for saving Nagato must also be given.

"So... what exactly is the reward?"

Xiao Nan, who was puzzled, asked a question.

Kiyoshi doesn't want money, and he doesn't want ninjutsu.

So what else could he possibly want?

"Miss Xiao Nan, do you know how beautiful you are?"

Kiyoshi took a small sip of tea, his tone gentle.

He was sitting in the best guest room in the Akatsuki organization. The room was exquisitely furnished, filled with the fragrance of sandalwood, and the tea was crystal clear. Even the sound of rain outside the window seemed to be shut out.

"……what?"

Xiao Nan was taken aback, her expression unchanged, but her eyes flickered almost imperceptibly.

She suddenly remembered the first time she met Qing Si. He had looked at her with an unfathomable gaze, as if he were appreciating a treasured work of art, or as if he were plotting something.

The teacup swayed slightly between her fingers, and a drop of tea spilled out, landing on her sleeve and leaving a dark water stain.

"Be careful."

Kiyoshi reached out in time, covered her hand, and steadied the rim of the cup.

His fingertips were warm, and he gently pressed them against the back of her hand through the porcelain cup, covering it just enough.

Xiao Nan didn't pull her hand away, but she frowned slightly.

Kiyoshi, however, was in no hurry to let go; his gaze remained fixed on her face.

Her face was delicate, with a high nose bridge, and her lips were slightly pale but tightly pursed. Her eyes looked particularly charming against the backdrop of light purple eyeshadow.

His gaze moved downwards, taking in her toned and curvaceous figure, her shapely body and slender waist.

Konan possesses an aggressiveness that many women in Konoha lack.

Yes, aggressive.

Having grown up in the Land of Rain, Konan naturally witnesses all sorts of dark things, and in order to protect herself, she must live a strong life.

Therefore, she possesses a charm that only comes from weathering the storms of life.

Alluring yet dangerous.

"Qingsi, you..."

Xiao Nan tried to pull her hand back, but found that she couldn't pull it back no matter what she did.

Kiyoshi held his hand and gently stroked the back of her hand with his fingertips.

This rude behavior angered Konan, but remembering Kiyoshi's kindness to her and his help to Akatsuki, she had to suppress her discomfort. (End of Chapter)
