Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

And in another place.

"You've worked hard, Kisame."

Obito, controlling Yagura, emerged from behind the underground passage.

"The Hidden Mist Village is riddled with problems; despite the harsh laws of the 'Village of Blood Mist,' they still chose to take the risk."

"Once the ninja swords are redeemed from Konoha, or once the village forges new swords, you will be the new Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."

Yagura, the tachibana manga artist, spoke up.

"!"

Kisame Hoshigaki watched the newcomer warily.

Kisame's vigilance lessened somewhat only when that face appeared in the dimly lit passage, and he lowered his hand from the hilt of his sword.

"Even until I was killed by you, Fourth Mizukage?"

Kisame Hoshigaki.

In the "Village of Blood Mist," everyone is a consumable.

If he had betrayed the village, he would be the one lying on the ground now.

“I can trust someone like you. You’ve carried out countless dirty and treacherous missions, all for the sake of the village and the country. That’s how you came to know that there are only lies and falsehoods in the world.”

Yagura Karatachi simply spoke like a puppet.

The person speaking behind your back is actually Obito, who is hiding in the shadows.

He increasingly believed that the ninja world was meaningless and that the world created by the Sage of Six Paths was a complete failure.

“I understood these things the first time I killed my comrade. I was a ninja from Kirigakure, yet I was killing my comrades.”

Kisame Hoshigaki stood there, the blade that had just killed his comrade still seemed to retain warmth, but his heart was swallowed by a cold sense of bewilderment.

The smile that tugged at the corners of his mouth was devoid of warmth, as empty as a mask.

"Am I friend or foe? What is my purpose? What is my stance? Where... can I calm this restless heart?"

"The only thing you can truly feel is the lie, the lie that is everywhere."

He looked down at his hands, which were covered in sticky, still-dry blood.

The blood of a comrade.

The sensation made Kisame Hoshigaki almost vomit.

He was growing weary of the endless betrayals and slaughter, and began to ponder the true meaning of his life.

"Let me help you escape from this false world, and I will build you a place to stay."

An unfamiliar voice rang out; it did not come from Yagura.

Kisame suddenly turned around, and a blurry humanoid silhouette quietly emerged from the depths of the shadows.

"Who?!"

Kisame almost instinctively gripped Samehada's hilt again, his muscles tense, exuding a murderous aura.

“You have been acting to ‘deal with’ your companions, and from now on you will act as my companions. We will start from this country.”

"Heh...you seem to trust me a lot?" Kisame's voice carried a cold, probing tone. "But I don't even know who you are..."

Upon hearing this, the figure in the shadows slowly opened its eyes.

In the darkness, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly lit up, with three tomoe slowly rotating within them, radiating an eerie and captivating light.

"Those eyes...were glowing in the darkness..."

As if struck by lightning, Kisame Hoshigaki instantly understood everything.

All the clues, when pieced together, point to an absurd yet undeniable truth.

"I see……"

He let out a low, self-deprecating laugh, “The ‘Fourth Mizukage’ I’ve always been loyal to, it turns out to be you.”

Kisame Hoshigaki then realized that the rumors circulating in the village were not unfounded.

The Fourth Mizukage had indeed been controlled by illusion magic long ago.

"I never imagined you could control the Mizukage with those Sharingan eyes... As expected, this world is full of lies!"

After a brief pause, he stared intently into those scarlet eyes, his voice trembling almost imperceptibly:

"You possess the eye power to control the Three-Tails Jinchuriki... Just who are you?"

"Uchiha..." The figure in the shadows paused deliberately, as if savoring the weight of the surname, before slowly uttering the name that was enough to shake the ninja world.
"……spot."

"...!!"

Kisame's pupils suddenly contracted.

This name, like a boulder thrown into a stagnant pool, stirred up a tidal wave in his heart.

"That important figure is long dead. I cannot trust you. Please reveal your true identity."

Shocked as he was, Kisame wasn't foolish enough to believe the words of a stranger.

"Okay, the choice is yours, whether you believe it or not."

Obito slowly removed his mask, revealing his face, which had been carefully disguised by the "Transformation Jutsu".

That was the true appearance of the freckles.

That way, if Kisame Hoshigaki were to investigate and verify Madara Uchiha's portrait in the future, he wouldn't give himself away.

With Kiyoshi as a formidable enemy, Obito became increasingly cautious and careful in his actions.

Then Obito began to explain to Kisame Hoshigaki what the "Eye of the Moon Plan" was and how to realize this opportunity.

Confused about his stance and his companions, Kisame Hoshigaki heard this information and sincerely wanted to see that new world where there was no falsehood or lies, only truth.

"Hehe, Kisame is one of the most promising people in Kirigakure. Let's also recruit the rest."

Obito was already thinking about leaving himself a way out.

If the attack on Uchiha Kiyoshi fails, he will immediately abandon Kirigakure as a base.

Once Kiyoshi's attention returns to Konoha, we can proceed with our plans again gradually.

……

On the night before leaving Kirigakure, Kiyoshi sat cross-legged on the bed, guiding the electric arcs within his body to stimulate his flesh.

Maintaining a daily, unwavering training regimen allows one's physical strength and chakra to gradually deepen.

Suddenly, Kiyoshi opened his eyes.

His skin was tingling slightly, as if it were on guard against something.

"Someone is trying to ambush me?"

Qing Si immediately recognized this as a warning from the entry.

His body was perfectly healthy, so it was impossible for him to feel pain easily.

There were no mosquitoes here that could harm him.

As Kiyoshi seemed to understand something, he looked out the window in a certain direction and sensed a fluctuation of chakra on a distant mountaintop.

That was the fluctuation of the tailed beast's chakra.

And he was very familiar with her; she was the type that Kiyoshi had encountered before.

hum...

Golden light emerged from Kiyoshi's body, and the "Cloak of Immortal Arts" was draped over him.

His perception ability has increased significantly, making distant scenes more three-dimensional and clearer.

Three tails!

Kiyoshi conjured up a picture in his mind: the Three-Tails' mouth was accumulating a huge "Tailed Beast Ball".

The moment Obito, wearing a mask, reached out and touched the scarlet "Tailed Beast Ball," the space began to ripple, and he was pulled into a black dot until he vanished into nothingness.

"Use 'Kamui' to absorb the 'Tailed Beast Ball'?"

Three golden magatama suddenly appeared in Kiyoshi's eyes.

Then three black magatama were squeezed out, spinning together against a scarlet background.

This is the natural change in Kiyoshi's pupils when he simultaneously activates "Sage Technique" and the Sharingan.

When his left eye transforms into a kaleidoscope shape, a ring resembling a star ring will surround the magatama.

"It seems that under my pressure, Obito's pursuit of power has become increasingly urgent, causing his strength to unknowingly surpass that of the original work?"

Kiyoshi secretly said.

If we're talking about the only variable in Obito's life, it's the "Hashirama cells".

This thing is like a plugin; whoever uses it becomes powerful.

The reason why "Impure World Reincarnation" can achieve such a high level of precision and replicate almost all the strength of a powerful person is because of "Hashirama cells".

With a quick sense, Edo Tobirama discovered that his body was almost entirely composed of cells from his elder brother, Hashirama Senju.

"Did the 'interstitial cells' strengthen the soil around the grain, thus achieving this?"

Kiyoshi remained calm, showing no particular concern.

So what if your whole body is made of "Hashira cells"?

His chakra reserves are rapidly approaching those of Hashirama at his peak.

When the difference in chakra levels is not significant, the competition comes down to each person's understanding of ninjutsu.

The "Wood" Release technique of Hashirama, and the Kiyoshi technique.

Kiyoshi also knows the "Sage Arts" that Hashirama knows.

Kiyoshi also possesses numerous Five Elements Ninjutsu and Bloodline Limits, which Hashirama did not have.

In fact, his biggest weakness compared to Hashirama is his chakra reserves.

And Hashirama's "Healing Without Marks".

Ninety-nine percent of ninjas were strengthened to some extent after being "resurrected with Edo Tensei" (impure world resurrection), except for Hashirama, who was drastically weakened.

His massive chakra reserves and incredibly fast healing speed are his inherent passive abilities.

"enough!"

After spitting out a "Tailed Beast Ball", the Three-Tails immediately spat out another one.

Obito caught it steadily and stepped into the Kamui dimension.

hiss……

At the same time, ripples suddenly appeared in the space not far from Kiyoshi's side.

An aura of destruction emanated from it.

Without a doubt, the power of the "Tailed Beast Ball" is enough to flatten several mountains.

"Is this your plan?"

As Kiyoshi watched the crimson "Tailed Beast Balls" continuously emerging from within, he stretched out his hand, and a sealing barrier opened in front of him.

Whoosh!
Kiyoshi's figure flashed and disappeared, returning to his original position in an instant, while a deafening explosion erupted in the far distance.

The shockwave from the explosion instantly tore through the thick fog.

Flying Thunder God Technique: Lightning Guiding Technique!
Minato could use this technique to redirect the "Tailed Beast Ball," and Kiyoshi can do it easily now as well.

Sensing the depletion and rapid recovery of his chakra, Kiyoshi looked into the empty room.

After unleashing his first attack, Obito escaped into the Kamui dimension.

"How will you deal with the second one?"

Obito's expression twisted as he unleashed a "Tailed Beast Ball" from a distance.

The larger the amount of chakra transferred, the more chakra the user will consume.

He allowed Yagura's long-accumulated "Tailed Beast Ball" to consume a massive amount of chakra.

The first shot was just a probe; the second shot was the key.

Boom!

A second deafening roar followed immediately.

The streets of Kirigakure were completely engulfed by a blinding white light, tearing apart the night and illuminating the area as bright as day.

The extreme heat and shockwave instantly reduced everything nearby to dust.

The wave of destruction continues to spread wildly outwards.

All I could see was a blinding white light, and a stinging pain on my skin.

"They released the 'Tailed Beast Ball' directly, so it's definitely not easy to transfer it now."

Kiyoshi's figure disappeared.

They grabbed Kakashi, Might Guy, Yugao Uzuki, Hayate Gekko, and others, and teleported them to a location tens of kilometers away.

Since the "Tailed Beast Ball" has exploded, it is naturally impossible to use "Flying Thunder God Lightning" to transfer it.

However, Obito misjudged one thing: his chakra reserves were far greater than he had imagined.

Even after transferring a large "Tailed Beast Ball", Kiyoshi still had the energy to teleport away with several people.

"what happens?"

Moonlight Gale was physically weak and was immediately awakened by the explosion.

Before he could get out of bed to do anything, the second explosion began.

He looked up and realized he wasn't in a room, but in a forest on the outskirts of town.

Looking ahead, one can still see a white, circular light, carrying an aura of destruction.

"It was the Hokage who brought us out."

Uzuki Yugao realized what was happening.

She was still dressed as a member of the Dark Guard.

Vigilance is a fundamental quality of every member of the Anbu. Not only him, but Kakashi and Hayate Gekko are as well.

Only Matt Kay changed out of his green bodysuit and, unusually, into a slightly loose-fitting nightgown.

"Kiyoshi, what happened?"

Kakashi gripped the hilt of his sword on his back, looking tense.

Someone must have attacked them for Kiyoshi to leave with everyone.

"I met... Ban."

Qingsi said calmly.

"spot!"

Kakashi was taken aback and said:
"That rogue ninja who had close ties with the Akatsuki?"

"You can say that."

Qingsi said calmly.

It must be said that Obito did a good job of keeping things secret.

He hid his identity for over ten years until Naruto shattered his mask, finally exposing his face to the light of day.

"That kind of attack could only be caused by a Tailed Beast Ball, right?"

Metkai said.

Having fought on the battlefield for many years, he had also witnessed the power of the "Tailed Beast Ball".

"That's right, that's the Three-Tails' 'Tailed Beast Ball'."

Qingsi nodded.

"Three tails!"

Matt Kai was startled.

The Three-Tails Jinchuriki is the current Fourth Mizukage. Why would he attack Kiyoshi?
"The Hidden Mist Village wants to attack Konoha..."

"No, it was Yagura Karatachi who was controlled by illusion magic."

Qingsi shook his head.

"We'll go over now."

……

"what!"

Obito, feeling Kiyoshi's chakra rapidly receding, was filled with astonishment.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

As if he had anticipated this, Kiyoshi transferred the "Tailed Beast Ball" and sent the others away as well.

"Could it be..."

Obito wondered if he had been discovered while accumulating chakra?
"No, the perception of 'Sage Mode' isn't that far."

Obito can be ruled out as the answer.

He ran to a location more than 80 kilometers away to disguise himself, making it impossible for him to be detected.

If that's the case, how terrifying must Kiyoshi's perception be?
"!"

Mei Terumi, who was fast asleep, was immediately awakened.

what happened?

She quickly stood in front of the mirror, her smooth body completely naked.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Mei Terumi subconsciously touched the spot that was throbbing slightly.

Everything Kiyoshi did in the illusion was still very clear in her mind.

Mei Terumi shook her head, quickly dressed, and went out to see what had happened.

Stepping out the door, one sees many Hidden Mist ninja dressed as members of the Anbu (Anti-Secession Bureau) on the eaves outside.

Mei Terumi also met Ringo Ameyuri, who was carrying two swords on her back and looked somewhat puzzled.

She clearly hadn't expected such a commotion to suddenly occur here.

Mei Terumi followed, and along the way, she encountered many ninjas.

The entire Hidden Mist Village was rapidly mobilized following the recent attack.

The Fourth Mizukage has disappeared!

The hidden secrets of the mist reported to Master Yuan.

"The fourth generation is probably out dealing with the attackers."

Master Yuan's voice was old, yet very steady.

As the oldest member of the Hidden Mist Village's leadership, he had seen many trials and tribulations.

Where are the people from Konoha?

"The place has been reduced to ruins, but their bodies have not been found."

"That's what the Hidden Mist Dark Division replied."

The commander seemed to be deep in thought.

It's highly likely that the Hokage of Konoha used the "Flying Thunder God Technique" to take the others away.

If it wasn't Konoha's doing, then who would attack Kirigakure?
Shortly after, Master Yuan led his men to the epicenter of the outbreak.

……

"Hey, Madara, looks like your injury has healed."

Kiyoshi, enveloped in golden light, appeared before Obito.

The "Celestial Art Garment" resembled a burning golden flame, continuously spreading across Qing Si's body, causing the robes to flutter in the wind.

"Yakura."

"Obito said in a deep voice."

His figure gradually turned into ripples.

When "Divine Might" is activated, there will inevitably be a brief pre-cast animation.

In front of others, the time for pre-activation is actually very short.

But against a ninja like Kiyoshi, who excels in speed, it's no less than fighting standing still.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall!"

Centered on the three tails, a torrent of water suddenly began to surge forth.

The streams of water formed from the tailed beast chakra covered the foot of the mountain and surged through the forest in a mighty torrent.

"Sage Technique: Fire Release - Extinguishing Flames".

Kiyoshi opened his mouth and spat out flames that burned a fan-shaped area of ​​scorched earth in front of him, and the surrounding water was also evaporated.

"It's a technique of the Fourth Mizukage!"

A female ninja named Water Lily said.

"He was fighting the Hokage."

Master Yuan frowned.

This ninjutsu's style is very similar to Konoha's Fire Release ninjutsu.

No one in the village knows such powerful ninjutsu; once used, it's like burning down the entire mountain.

"Kokage of Konoha, do you want to start a war?"

The Hidden Mist ninjas immediately stood behind the Three-Tails.

"Uchiha Kiyoshi suddenly attacked me. Everyone must capture him here."

Yagura shouted.

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi, who had rushed over, realized this was the best opportunity and quickly tried to stop her:

"The Fourth Mizukage has been manipulated by genjutsu. Kiyoshi is now helping Kirigakure!"

Mei Terumi's voice echoed through the mountains and forests.

Her claim was so outlandish that few people would believe it.

Just as Mei Terumi was getting anxious, Hozuki Mangetsu, Momochi Zabuza, and other ninjas who also suspected Yagura Karatachi stepped forward.

"Everyone, just as Mei Terumi said, our respected Mizukage has been brought under control. Otherwise, why would he be fighting with the Hokage?"

"Wasn't it said that the Hokage attacked first?"

"Don't slander Shuiying!"

The Hidden Mist ninjas were divided into two factions: one believed in Yagura Karatachi, while the other had long suspected something was amiss with him.

Master Yuan shook the ground with his snake-shaped wooden staff, his expression serious.
"Once a second person's chakra is used to help, the genjutsu will be broken. The Three-Tails and Yagura are comrades, so how could they fall for a genjutsu?"

"But... to avoid being tricked by your genjutsu, Hokage, I need to send someone to investigate."

In exchange, the master acquired a ninja.

The ninja's left eye was completely white; it was Hyuga Nobuhiko's other Byakugan.

"Yeah."

Kiyoshi glanced at the old man.

People become better with age.

These words stabilized the situation in Kirigakure and provided a legitimate reason to observe the chakra within Yagura Karatachi's body.

It can also prevent you from doing anything underhanded.

After all, his chakra color had turned black, which was very conspicuous compared to the blue of ordinary ninjas.

"Water Release·Iron Cannonball!"

Suddenly, the Three-Tails opened its blood-red maw and spat out a huge sphere of chakra water.

The water sphere hurtled toward Kiyoshi with unstoppable speed.

Qing Si opened his hand, and the iron sand from the ground surged out, forming a shield made of iron sand.

Immediately afterwards, Kiyoshi pulled a piece of bone from his palm, which transformed into the shape of a long sword.

puff!

The white bone knife sliced ​​through the air and plunged straight into the three-tailed beast's tail.

"Roar!"

The Three-Tails roared in pain as the "Outer Path Power" attached to the bone sword interfered with the flow of chakra within his body.

He curled up, arching his body to envelop his massive, heavy carapace on his back, and rolled forward rapidly like a wheel, tearing his tail in two.

Only a three- or four-meter-long bone knife remained stuck in the ground, covered in blood.

"Master Yuanshi... Master Mizukage..."

In fact, the ninja who had the Byakugan transplant already knew about Yagura Karatachi, but he dared not speak out.

The Fourth Mizukage was controlled by genjutsu; who knows if any other high-ranking members of Kirigakure were also controlled?
If it gets exposed, he'll be the first one to die.

Transplanting the Byakugan wouldn't make his life any more precious; his death would simply give the Byakugan a new host.

"What is it?"

"There are traces of illusion interference."

After using the Byakugan, the ninja quickly covered it with a protective eye patch and said cautiously.

"Attention all Kirigakure ninja! Help the Hokage deal with Yagura Karatachi!"

The commander decisively issued the order.

He certainly had his doubts about Yagura's cruelty and ruthlessness.

However, this conflict cannot be broken. Given his status, if he were to clash with Yagura Karatachi, it could easily cause internal strife and division within Kirigakure, severely damaging the village's vitality.

"Fire Escape..."

Kiyoshi once again unleashed a torrent of blazing flames.

"Humph!"

Yagura snorted coldly, controlling the Three-Tails wrapped around his body to use his signature "Water Release: Water Mirror Technique".

Obito transplanted some "Hashirama cells" into Yagura Karatachi to enhance him, and combined with his "complete tailed beast transformation" state, this ninjutsu could replicate almost all ninjas.

This is a ninjutsu that only he can use.

Wow…

Kiyoshi emerged from a mirror with swirling water. The Kiyoshi clone that appeared in the mirror was also radiating golden light and wearing a "cloak of immortal magic".

He spat out the "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation" technique that Kiyoshi had just used.

"Oh, did you record the ninjutsu I just used?"

Kiyoshi gazed at his reflection in the mirror with great interest, increasing the amount of chakra he exhaled.

According to the official guidebook, "Water Release: Water Mirror Technique" is a rather overpowered ninjutsu, as the enemy will suffer a counterattack with the exact same force as the user's attack.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, this ninjutsu even simulated Naruto's Nine-Tails chakra.

This also means that he can simulate "immortal arts".

It's not that he knew this ninjutsu, but rather that he had used other ninjutsu and imitated them.

Of course, the upper limit of this ninjutsu depends on the upper limit of the user.

If Yagura were to imitate Kaguya Otsutsuki's technique, he would probably die from chakra drain in an instant.

"This ninjutsu is quite worth acquiring." (End of Chapter)
