Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

After the reshuffling, the Hyuga clan will inevitably get a larger share of the pie than during the Third Hokage's time.

Hinata Hyuga looked at Kiyoshi, who was putting a necklace on Hinata, and instead of feeling happy, she felt a sense of fear.

She feared that Kiyoshi might have left some hidden tricks in the necklace.

But Kiyoshi is currently the Hokage.

Whether it's an agent or not, it's just a matter of adding a prefix.

As long as he doesn't go crazy or do anything major wrong, he's basically a shoo-in for the Fourth Hokage.

What right does she have to refuse?
Hinatsuki Hinata felt sorrow in her heart.

Just as she was feeling sad, she saw Kiyoshi raise his head.

"Lady Chuyue has just given birth, so she should stay in the hospital for a few more days. I will stay here and take good care of her during these days."

"!"

Hinatsuki Hyuga was startled.

Considering that Hiashi Hyuga was also there, he dared not show the slightest unusual expression, for fear of being noticed.

She understood what Kiyoshi wanted to do.

To Hinatsuki Hyuga's despair, upon hearing Kiyoshi's words, in addition to fear, she also felt a sense of... restlessness?
After all, objective physical phenomena cannot be changed according to human will.

Physiological phenomena are also beyond Hinazuki Hyuga's control.

Hiashi Hyuga had no dignity as a man; she never did it except for what she received from Kiyoshi.

Thinking about it carefully, a long time has passed since the last time.

"This body..."

Hinatsuki Hyuga's eyes reddened as she covered her face and wept softly.

"Chuyue, we must raise this child well."

Hiashi Hyuga carefully held Hinata in her swaddling clothes.

Seeing Hyuga Hinazuki weeping with joy, he couldn't contain his own happiness.

That's great, he has his own daughter now.

"woo woo woo woo……"

Hinatsuki Hyuga sobbed softly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Hinazuki."

Hiashi Hyuga said with heartache.

He knew that Hinazuki had put in a lot of effort to give birth to the child, so he could only resolve in his heart to treat Hinazuki even better in the future.

Kiyoshi quietly watched as Hyuga Hiashi tried to comfort her, but no matter how he tried, Hyuga Hinazuki didn't stop sobbing.

"I'll take my leave now, Madam Chuyue. Please remember not to wander around. You'll need to consult me, the head of the department, about when you can be discharged."

A slight smile curved at the corner of Kiyoshi's lips as he walked outside.

Hyuga Hinazuki trembled upon hearing this.

"This demon..."

Hinatsuki Hinata couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

"Look, Hinazuki, how lovely our child is."

Hinata Hyuga only stopped sobbing when Hiashi Hyuga brought Hinata close to her face.

Holding the light-footed Hinata in her arms, she felt a sense of motherhood.

"Hinata, you must take good care of yourself from now on."

Hinatsuki Hyuga murmured.

……

Konoha Hospital.

As Yugao Uzuki accompanied Gekko Hayate to her follow-up appointment and to pick up her medication, she looked at her wallet, which had suddenly shrunk considerably, and sighed.

Blood-related diseases require a large number of specific drugs.

These medicines are very expensive, and most of the money Kiyoshi gave her has been spent by Uzuki Yugao.

In the past, they used the cheapest medicine, but now that they have a little more money, Uzuki Yugao wants to see if the medicine will be more effective.

"Xi Yan, where did you get this money from?"

Moonlight Gale was filled with curiosity.

"It was given to me by the Hokage."

"Lord Hokage..."

Upon hearing this, Moonlight Gale felt grateful.

"We must repay the Hokage properly in the future."

Moonlight Gale thought to himself.

Kiyoshi-senpai, whether before or after becoming Hokage, has never changed his kind and benevolent nature.

"Yes, to repay the debt."

Maoyue Xiyan smiled bitterly.

To this day, they have been unilaterally accepting kindness and have never been able to repay Kiyoshi in any way.

……

A few days later.

Hyuga Hinazuki, now in better health, returned to the Hyuga clan.

Here, she can actually receive better care than at Konoha Hospital.

Konoha Hospital has limited manpower, and within the Hyuga clan, branch families are required to obey the main family, thus having a large number of servants.

"This child..."

As Hinata Hinazuki's best friend, Hinata Ginka naturally had to come and meet Hinata Hinazuki's newborn child.

"Rolling your eyes, huh?"

Hyuga Ginka thought to herself, "I'm really lucky."

She couldn't understand how Hyuga Hinazuki dared to actually give birth to the baby.

If she could cover it up with an excuse like a miscarriage, no one would discover her relationship with Kiyoshi.

Fortunately, she had a medical check-up and found that she was not pregnant.

If she gets pregnant, she'll probably be anxious about whether it's the Sharingan or the Byakugan.

Or perhaps other bloodline limits?
Hyuga Ginka hadn't forgotten just how many Sharingan types Kiyoshi possessed.

If a child is born with the ability to "magnetize," it will attract surrounding sand and iron to gather around it.

The thought of that scene sent chills down her spine.

"How are you feeling, Hinazuki?"

Hinata Ginka asked.

She and Hinata Hinazuki were in the same boat, both keeping the same secret.

This relationship, to some extent, made their bond even stronger than before.

What else can we do?

Hinatsuki Hyuga shook her head sadly upon hearing this.

The child in her womb is likely the product of Kiyoshi's experiments, supposedly cloned using her cells, but the exact method of cloning remains unclear.

Now that she's a mother, Hinata Hyuga only hopes that Hinata can grow up safely and peacefully.

"Too."

Hinata Ginka clenched her fist, then suddenly let go.

A feeling called despair also arose in her heart.

That demon has transformed from the nascent dawn into the blazing sun that obscures Konoha.

Under his gaze, few dared to look directly at his true nature.

Only those who have experienced such things can glimpse the true form of the devil through the cracks in the shadows.

"Silver Flower?"

Hinata Nobuhiko, standing to the side, looked somewhat worried.

He saw that after Yin Hua saw Hinata, his expression became very complicated, even sad.

This made Hinata Nobuhiko wonder if Ginka also wanted a child.

"nothing."

Hinata Ginka shook her head.

She started to give up entirely.

Since we can't fight against life, we might as well go with it.

I just hope life will treat her kindly.

……

As time passed, Kiyoshi's rate of growth did not slow down in the slightest.

Factors such as the entry panel, eye power, and "Sage Chakra" have brought Kiyoshi to an incredible bottleneck.

Before reaching his bottleneck, Kiyoshi's rate of becoming stronger far surpasses that of others.

His physique became stronger and more perfect.

The spirit and soul are becoming more and more solid and powerful.

On this day, Kiyoshi shook the liquid in the test tube, and his cold expression was reflected in it.

"The 'Curse of Humanity' still has room for improvement."

Or rather, this is Kiyoshi's most relaxed state.

Attitude is the mask of the heart.

"Hiss... Can I... continue to transform, Master?"

A beautiful snake coiled around Qing Si's feet, its long tail wrapping around his legs, while its upper body was almost pressed against his chest.

The White Snake's tone was somewhat strange, which showed that she was not yet familiar with her human vocal organs.

Every time she opened and closed her lips, a forked snake tongue could be seen writhing gracefully inside her mouth, exhaling hot air.

"Turning into human form completely shouldn't be a problem."

Kiyoshi ruffled the white snake's hair, its black strands cascading down like a waterfall.

Her hair was very soft, softer than that of many humans.

"Really?"

The white snake raised her eyes and stared intently at Qing Si.

As her intelligence grew, she also began to envy her master's ability to move on two legs.

If she were to walk the streets in that manner, she would surely be mistaken for a monster.

Many spirit beasts can speak human language, but those that are half-human and half-beast are almost non-existent.

"of course."

Kiyoshi smiled slightly, and his cold expression vanished instantly.

The White Snake transforming into human form is theoretically possible.

The snake princesses in Ryuchi Cave all successfully transformed from snakes into human form.

Even the White Snake Immortal is the only one among the three holy lands who has a record of transforming into human form.

"Your upper body already has the rudiments of a human meridian system. From now on, do not slack off in your chakra training."

Qingsi spoke.

"understood."

A hint of innocence appeared on the white snake's cold and beautiful face.

Is she the kind of person who likes to slack off?
He just likes to lie under the tree and bask in the sun.

After giving a few more instructions, Kiyoshi went to the Hokage's office.

This became his office.

The administrative tasks that Hiruzen Sarutobi assigned to Kiyoshi were indeed tedious, involving many trivial matters that took a lot of time.

Kiyoshi's choice was naturally to be a hands-off manager.

He didn't want to be kidnapped here.

So he handed over these administrative affairs to the second Root leader, Minato Namikaze.

"Minato, I'm leaving these to you."

Kiyoshi pushed a pile of documents over.

"Kiyoshi, you're the Hokage, isn't this a bit..."

Minato Namikaze's eyes widened.

Even someone like him knows that such behavior is tantamount to dispersing power. Does Kiyoshi really trust him that much?

"It's nothing, it's all for the benefit of the village anyway, isn't it?"

Qingsi shook his head.

In the ninja world where strength reigns supreme, political maneuvering is only a secondary means of consolidating a regime.

What's really needed is the size of a fist.

In the Fourth Shinobi World War, Nara Shikaku, the smartest man in the Nara clan, used his wisdom to guide the war's outcome in the best possible direction.

But what it ultimately met was a "Tailed Beast Ball" from the Ten-Tails, which directly killed it across hundreds of kilometers.

In the final battle against Madara Uchiha and Kaguya, the only deciding factor was the relative strength of the two.

Without the Sage of Six Paths giving Naruto and Sasuke a boost from afar, they wouldn't have been able to get past Madara's Six Paths form alone.

The most likely ending for the ninja world is that it will enter the "Infinite Tsukuyomi" that covers the entire world, and finally Madara Uchiha will fight against Otsutsuki Isshiki or Momoshiki.

Black Zetsu, meanwhile, was hiding behind to see if anyone would betray Six Paths Madara, using his physical body and chakra to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki.

"I understand."

Minato Namikaze nodded solemnly.

I never imagined that Kiyoshi's awareness was so high.

His understanding of the "Will of Fire" has reached such a level that he regards power as worthless.

"I'll get it sorted out as soon as possible." Minato Namikaze held the half-meter-high stack of documents on the table to his chest, intending to take them to Root for proper review.

Handling these administrative affairs also greatly helped his growth.

"Go."

Kiyoshi waved.

There's no reason not to use readily available tools.

He entrusted Minato Namikaze with trivial matters that were a waste of time; he personally approved all the documents concerning how to divide the interests of the various ninja clans.

Minato Namikaze has taken his leave.

After the door closed, Kiyoshi turned to look out the window, where a Hokage statue was under construction.

The faint outline of the rock statue reveals that it is Kiyoshi's face.

"Evening Glory".

After a long while, Kiyoshi called out softly to the empty office.

"exist."

A slender figure in black knelt on one knee, wearing a mask, and respectfully replied to Qing Si.

"There are no outsiders here, so there's no need for this between us."

Kiyoshi waved his hand, and a whirlwind swept by, the "Wind" Release chakra lifting the mask worn by Uzuki Yugao.

"Yes."

Uzuki Yugao nodded, feeling flattered and overwhelmed.

The Hokage had already been good enough to her, yet he still showed her so much care.

The money that Kiyoshi had given them earlier provided much-needed breathing room for the two who were struggling financially.

But the more she felt this way, the more guilty she became.

What could she possibly offer Kiyoshi in return?
After thinking about it, Uzuki Yugao realized that, setting aside her identity as an Anbu member, she was actually just a special Jonin.

Kiyoshi, on the other hand, had been a Jonin for a very long time.

"Jifeng's illness should be getting better after taking the medicine."

Kiyoshi said.

When this was mentioned, a bitter look appeared on Uzuki Yugao's face.

"It can only delay the onset of symptoms, not cure the disease."

Uzuki Yugao knew the answer to this many years ago.

So even though the two were very close, they never crossed any lines.

Moonlight Gale didn't want to hold her back.

I know this is a fruitless endeavor.

"Have you almost spent all your money?"

Qingsi asked.

Uzuki Yugao nodded with a sense of guilt.

There really isn't much money left.

"Is that so? There are very few people with bloodline diseases in the village, but it is still a disease that people want to treat."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin and continued:
"I will allocate funds later to set up a special department for this disease, and you will be in charge, how about that?"

He is indeed the acting Hokage, but he still has the decision-making power over such a small matter.

After all, this is genuine treatment, and it's rare for members of the Uchiha clan to suffer from blood disease.

Even if the Konoha leadership knew, no one would stop him.

"This……"

Maoyue Xiyan was stunned for a moment.

The news was so shocking that she hadn't even processed it yet.

"What, do you think I'm joking?"

"of course not."

Uzuki Yugao shook her head repeatedly, her short, light purple hair swaying as she spoke, a few strands falling behind her ears. She exuded not only heroic spirit but also a touch of imposing authority.
"I...I just don't know how to say it."

Overjoyed, Uzuki Yugao was truly speechless.

In her view, Kiyoshi was the department that was established specifically to treat Gekko Hayate's illness.

They even gave her management of this department, wasn't it just so that Moonlight Gale could receive the best treatment?
"You only need to be responsible for guarding me."

Qingsi smiled slightly.

He will be going out of town soon.

He went to Kirigakure for diplomatic purposes, visiting as the Hokage.

They discussed some follow-up transactions regarding the ninja swords, as well as trade between the two parties.

The Land of Water has the smallest land area among the five great nations, but due to its geographical advantage of being in the open sea, it is rich in natural resources and has been relatively unaffected by war for a long time.

Abundant freshwater and saltwater fishery resources provide a solid foundation for the fisheries of this water-rich nation, not only meeting domestic market demand but also being exported in large quantities to all parts of the world.

The Land of Fire also possesses resources that the Land of Water lacks, allowing for mutually beneficial exchanges between the two countries.

Also... meet Ringo Ameyuri and Terumi Mei.

However, it's quite normal for him to help the recovering Gekko Hayate and take care of Uzuki Yugao along the way.

Upon hearing Kiyoshi's simple request, Uzuki Yugao quickly lowered her head and agreed.

"You should do your job well, right?"

Kiyoshi stood up, lifted Yugao Uzuki's chin with his fingers, and made her look into his eyes.

He sized up Uzuki Yugao.

Beneath her dark combat uniform, Uzuki Yugao's figure was slender and shapely, her beauty beyond words.

With a gentle touch of the fingertips, one can feel the delicate, supple trembling of the snow-white skin; any roughness would seem to be a desecration.

She truly is a woman as beautiful as a flower.

Kiyoshi was very satisfied.

A restrained, ascetic demeanor is not something everyone can possess.

He kept this flower without picking it.

Evening Glory is not only its name, but it also has another name: Moonflower.

Legend has it that the moonflower only blooms at night, is shaped like a full moon, and shines as brightly as moonlight. Its flower language is eternal love.

Let him save this tragic couple.

"Hokage-sama?"

Uzuki Yugao's body trembled slightly; Kiyoshi had been staring at her for too long.

This left Yugao in Maoyue at a loss.

"Sometimes, life doesn't have to be so stressful; just relax."

Qingsi smiled slightly.

"This money is a personal gift to you. During the mission, don't wear the ANBU's clothes. Buy yourself a nice dress, and you'll have to wear it when you accompany me on missions."

Kiyoshi, not allowing Yuuka to refuse, slipped her a sum of money.

"Alright, I have something to do, you can go now."

Kiyoshi turned around and went back to his chair.

Uzuki Yugao bit her lip, her eyes flickering slightly, and disappeared into the office with the money in her hand.

"After returning from the Land of Water, we can go to Takigakure to obtain that portion of the Tailed Beast chakra."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

We can also take a look at the "Hero's Water" in this village; it should be great for mass-producing subordinates.

Having the title of Hokage has its advantages; it allows him to access many resources.

However, many of the members of the Anbu were still Hiruzen Sarutobi's team, so Kiyoshi didn't trust them.

He needs to cultivate his own team, and these people are still being trained at the orphanage.

……

in the afternoon.

Kiyoshi left the Hokage Building right on time.

In reality, no one would care if he went home early.

However, since we are currently in the evaluation period, we naturally need to put on a show of politeness.

"Oh, you're off work?"

Tsunade and Shizune, who were on the street, happened to see Kiyoshi coming out of there.

"Tsunade-sensei."

"It's Kiyoshi," Kiyoshi said.

"By the way, Jingyin has run into some trouble lately, and I hope you can help her out."

As soon as Tsunade saw Kiyoshi, she pushed Shizune towards him.

The usually quiet Shizune was suddenly made a little shy by Tsunade.

Kiyoshi glanced at the anxious expression on Tsunade's face and knew she was going to gamble again.

"no problem."

Qingsi nodded.

Before Tsunade left, he lent her a sum of money.

"Please take good care of me, Hokage-sama."

Shizune was very reserved beside Kiyoshi.

"Did you encounter anything related to medical ninjutsu?"

"Yes……"

Silently explained the problem in detail.

Kiyoshi explained the solutions one by one, answering Shizune's questions.

Then he took Jingyin back to his home and had Honglian brew a pot of tea and pour it over.

"It turns out it can still be like this."

After talking with Kiyoshi for a while, Shizune felt enlightened and learned many things she didn't understand before.

"By the way, how's your training in your uncle Kato Dan's 'Spirit Transformation Technique' coming along?"

Qingsi asked.

More than these simple medical ninjutsu questions, Kiyoshi wanted to know about the "Spirit Transformation Technique".

"Spirit Transformation Technique" can be considered the strongest reconnaissance ninjutsu.

This technique can separate the practitioner's spiritual energy from their physical energy, forming a spiritual state to achieve long-range attacks, and possess and control others or destroy their physical bodies.

Its spiritual form possesses a hidden quality that even the Rinnegan cannot perceive, meaning that this move will still be effective against Otsutsuki.

"I...I don't have the aptitude to learn this ninjutsu."

Silent head shake.

She was actually the only one left in the Kato family; otherwise, she wouldn't have been running around with Tsunade at such a young age.

Instead, other members of her tribe adopted her.

"It's alright, I have other S-rank medical ninjutsu here, you can take a look."

Qing Si took out a scroll.

This is a medical technique he developed himself, combining "Dark Medical Ninjutsu," which can accelerate wound healing while blocking pain, allowing the human body to unleash more of its potential.

"This……"

Jingyin felt that this gift was too precious.

"Take this and learn first. If you need more, come to me."

Kiyoshi stuffed the medical ninjutsu into Shizune's hand.

In fact, the simplest S-rank medical ninjutsu is the one he has.

As for the other difficult ones, Kiyoshi believed that even if she were given silence, she wouldn't be able to learn them.

That's just how talent is; if you can't do it, you just can't.

In the original work, Shizune's talent for silence is far inferior to Sakura's.

"Lord Hokage, are you also interested in the 'Spirit Transformation Technique'?"

"Silently asked."

Kiyoshi had previously inquired about the "spiritualization technique".

“That’s right, I greatly admire Kato Dan, which is why I’m very interested in the ‘Spirit Transformation Technique’.”

Kiyoshi did not hide his thoughts.

In fact, given his current position, he could also exert pressure to force Shizune to hand it over.

Such behavior will only greatly damage his reputation.

"If Lord Hokage is curious, I can lend it to you for a look."

"I think for a moment and then say it," said Shizune.

She had tried the "Spirit Transformation Technique," but like the "Yin Seal," it was a technique she couldn't learn.

If Kiyoshi wants it, it can be given to Kiyoshi.

In a sense, she was Kiyoshi's senior, as both of them were Tsunade's students.

This ninjutsu, if left in her hands, will eventually be lost.

Her uncle was a helpful and kind person who was not prejudiced against anyone.

If her uncle knew, he probably wouldn't blame her for her choice.

"Thank you very much."

Kiyoshi was slightly surprised; he had just said it casually and hadn't held out much hope.

Since Shizune said she would lend it to him for a look, Kiyoshi will definitely learn this ninjutsu.

In Kiyoshi's hands, S-rank ninjutsu is only somewhat difficult to learn, but not many. With enough time investment, he can master it in a short time. (End of Chapter)
