Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

"Illusion?"

There was still doubt in Yagura's words.

He held his head and tried to recall the image, finally remembering a blurry figure wearing a mask.

"Masked man!"

Yagura exclaimed in surprise.

In his memory, the last person he saw was him.

Then, we arrived here.

Gradually, the blank memories from this period began to flood into Yagura's mind.

"I...did I do all of this?"

Yagura looked around at the collapsed mountains and the ground that looked like it had been swept away by a flood.

And among the pieces of flesh and limbs on the ground, the headbands of the Hidden Mist ninjas could be vaguely seen.

"Yeah, except for that."

Qingsi pointed in a direction.

Yagura looked in the direction of the sound and saw a deep ravine that seemed to tear the mountains apart.

What kind of ninjutsu could deliver such a powerful blow?
Yagura opened his mouth.

He also remembered Kiyoshi's information, but Kiyoshi was not a Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, nor did he know the "Tailed Beast Ball". How did he manage to do all this?

"It seems you're awake, Yagura."

Master Yuan approached with a grave expression.

He glanced at the ninja who had received the Byakugan, and the ninja, understanding the signal, used his Byakugan to observe the condition inside Yagura's body.

The strange chakra that had been lurking inside had disappeared, leaving only the chakra of Yagura himself.

"Master Yuan, Master Shuiying is unharmed."

"Go down."

The master leaned on his cane.

"I……"

Yagura looked at Genji, unsure of what to say.

Despite being the Mizukage, she fell for the illusion so easily, turning herself into the greatest darkness in the village.

This sin weighed heavily on Yagura's heart.

"You should focus on recovering from your injury during this time. I will handle things in the village."

Master Yuan said.

He possesses power and status equal to that of the Mizukage, overseeing all affairs of Kirigakure, and consulting on the most important matters in the village.

At present, Yagura Kichiji is not well-suited to handle government affairs.

A political storm is inevitable in Kirigakure, and the key issue is whether Yagura Karatachi can still serve as the Fourth Mizukage.

Such a water feature could easily be described as dereliction of duty.

"I understand."

Yagura sighed.

He had some mental preparation for the punishment that might befall him.

Soon, medical ninjas from Kirigakure came up and took Yagura Karatachi away.

"Lord Hokage, are you alright?"

Kakashi came over and said.

"I'm not the one in trouble."

Qingsi smiled.

Aside from the wounded from Kirigakure and Yagura, the one most in trouble was probably Obito.

Kiyoshi deliberately controlled the force of that strike, avoiding shattering Obito's brain.

Otherwise, the regenerative capacity of "interstitial cells" alone would not be enough to repair the damage to the brain.

Even Hashirama himself couldn't do that. Back then, in order to persuade Madara Uchiha, he even planned to commit suicide with a kunai.

This shows that as long as a vital part is hit, death is inevitable.

"We need to find a way to overcome this weakness in our brains."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

Once the healing ability reaches a certain level, the heart is no longer a weakness.

For example, if Obito guides Kakashi to use "Raikiri" to pierce his heart and break the "spell" inside, Kakashi himself will still be alive under such circumstances.

Kiyoshi can also do this; he can survive even with temporary heart loss, while simultaneously accelerating the heart's healing process.

The brain, however, is different; if it is shattered, the person will lose consciousness on the spot.

After becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, Madara Uchiha was able to do this, boasting, "I have forever obtained... complete immortality."

Even with half his body shattered by Death Gate Kai's kick, he could regenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Furthermore, half of his face clearly shows signs of regeneration, meaning that Rokudo Ban's head may also be half shattered.

Soon, Kiyoshi and the others returned to Kirigakure.

The ninjas anxiously evacuated the villagers and rescued ordinary civilians from the ruins.

Mei Terumi was constantly busy inside, rescuing innocent people.

Kiyoshi thought for a moment, then formed the "巳" mudra with his hands.

Rumble…

Numerous branches spread out from the ground, supporting the ruins above.

They also built rows of square temporary wooden houses, which were neatly arranged on the ruins.

"these are……"

Mei Terumi glanced back and saw that Kiyoshi was using the "Wood" Release technique.

Feeling conflicted, she turned and continued with her own tasks.

"Thank you, Hokage."

Master Yuan forced a chrysanthemum-like smile onto his old face.

The "Wood" Release is a very convenient ability. It allows you to use chakra to catalyze plants, and even after the chakra is gone, the creation will not disappear.

Furthermore, due to the chakra catalysis, its hardness and toughness will far exceed those of ordinary wood.

"It is only right for the ninjas of the five great nations to help each other."

Qingsi said calmly.

He intends to support Mei Terumi to become the Mizukage of Kirigakure, and then control Kirigakure through Mei Terumi.

In other words, Kirigakure will be his village in the future.

It's perfectly normal to care about your own village.

Yuan Shi clearly didn't think as much as Qing Si had. Seeing Qing Si expending a lot of chakra to help Kirigakure, he nodded in approval.

Fortunately, the ninja world gained a kind-hearted Hashirama Senju, instead of the arrogant and mad Madara Uchiha of yesteryear.

Even with such a powerful figure in charge, Konoha should not wage war on all sides and start another battlefield.

Once the flames of war begin to spread, sooner or later they will reach the mainland of the Land of Water.

This was unacceptable to Master Yuan; he only hoped that Kirigakure could remain as it is now forever.

"That's the Hokage of Konoha. I'm really curious what it would be like to fight someone like that."

The members of the Kaguya clan looked at Kiyoshi with fear in their eyes.

But deep in his eyes, a longing he could not conceal.

They are a race born for war, and they will spend their lives challenging the strong and experiencing the feeling of battle.

"Are you crazy? That's someone even the Mizukage couldn't defeat."

The other Kaguya clan member appeared calmer.

Most members of the tribe crave battle, while a small minority have a low desire for combat, with reason suppressing their instincts.

Even those members of the tribe who dislike fighting will exist.

This is the diversity of humanity. The Senju clan can produce a Hokage like Hashirama who kowtowed for peace, as well as someone like Tobirama Senju who used countless human bodies to research forbidden techniques.

The "Impure World Reincarnation" technique requires a large number of living people.

Since the condition for successfully performing this ritual is a "living sacrifice," the research phase will definitely consume a large number of living people.

"He's the Hokage of Konoha?"

Kimimaro, who was only a few years old, looked in Kiyoshi's direction.

This was the first time he had ever met ninjas from another country.

Kimimaro suffered from an illness and had not been to many places in the Land of Water.

Moreover, his people seemed very interested in his power, saying they would wait a while to test his "corpse bone meridian".

Kimimaro had no idea what changes would occur after his test.

"Don't interrupt."

The Kaguya clansman glanced at Kimimaro, seemingly not wanting to talk to him, and was even trying to shoo him away to other places.

Kimimaro was already used to the attitude of his clansmen.

He had always been alone, and although he was part of the Kaguya clan, he was enveloped in a deep loneliness.

Kimimaro walked forward with his head down, his attention drawn to a flower.

Beneath the ruins, a small flower stands tall.

The flowers, covered in dust, still stood proudly in the cracks of the ruins.

Why did you open your shop here?

Kimimaro squatted down and looked at the flower.

He had seen this flower by chance before, never expecting that it would still be blooming here even after the house collapsed.

Why won't you answer me? Are you ignoring me too?

Kimimaro produced a bone dagger.

He didn't understand.

Why does everyone want to stay away from him?
Why does this flower bloom here again?
What's the point?
Just like himself, what is the meaning?
Flowers blooming on ruins, unnoticed by anyone, will likely be trampled to death during the reconstruction process.

"Why do this?"

Kiyoshi's figure appeared behind Kimimaro without anyone noticing.

Kaguya's clan generally has black hair, green eyes, red eyeshadow on her eyelids, and two red dots on her eyebrows.

Kimimaro was different from ordinary people; his hair was naturally white.

Therefore, Kiyoshi recognized Kimimaro at a glance.

No one else has such a distinctive appearance except him.

There is no such thing as the meaning of living.

Qingsi spoke lightly.

He recited Orochimaru's classic opening line.

This is the very phrase Orochimaru used to trick Kimimaro, which Kiyoshi is now using.

"But living might lead to interesting things, just like you found that flower, and just like I found you."

Kiyoshi patted Kimimaro's head and took out a small bottle from behind his back.

"Judging from your complexion, you should have bloodline disease."

Kiyoshi took out Konoha's special medicine.

Although hematopoietic stem cell disease is currently incurable, he hasn't done much research on it.

However, Konoha's advanced and comprehensive medical system is fully capable of alleviating the symptoms of this disease.

The only drawback is its high price.

At least in Konoha, you can still buy it if you have money, but in Kirigakure, you can't buy it even if you have money.

In the entire ninja world, only Konoha's medical system is far ahead, while the rest lag far behind.

Kirigakure was not the kind of ninja village that was good at development; it spent most of its time fighting amongst itself.

This is the downside of "Village of Blood Mist": if you don't kill others, they will kill you.

"medicine?"

Kimimaro raised his head in a daze, as if trying to see Kiyoshi's face clearly.

"If you encounter any problems in the future, go to Ringo Ameyuri. He has medicine too."

Qingsi smiled slightly.

Kimimaro was a perfectly competent subordinate.

Loyalty, strength.

If he hadn't died young, and had accumulated a few more years of experience, allowing his chakra to reach its physical peak, he probably would have had a place in the Fourth Shinobi World War.

"It's really rare to see you like this."

Ringo Amori walked over, looking at Kiyoshi's behavior with great curiosity.

This guy actually has such a kind heart?

Or did he develop some interest in the Kaguya clan's "Shikotsumyaku" (Corpse Bone Pulse)?
"It's nothing to offer a little help to a confused child."

Kiyoshi shook his head.

If we wait a few more years, the Kaguya clan will bring about their own destruction and go on to challenge Kirigakure.

He could then use some means to bring Kimimaro back to Konoha; it would be a great pity for such a henchman to die.

In terms of raw power, Kimimaro surpasses Guren.

Ringo Yuri practically had her disbelief written all over her face.

Is Uchiha Kiyoshi that kind of person?

Why didn't she know?
"Forget it, when will you sell those ninja swords back?"

Yuri Ringo asked.

"As long as Kirigakure comes up with the price I mentioned a few days ago, I will sell it to you."

Qingsi said.

A few days ago, in addition to discussing trade, they also talked about the issue of the six ninja swords.

Kiyoshi had already removed some of the materials from these six ninja swords beforehand, so it wouldn't matter if he sold them back.

If we ever run out of money, we'll figure out a way to get it back.

Anyway, supply and demand will always exist. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are the symbol of Kirigakure, not Konoha. Kiyoshi didn't linger and quickly went to other areas to use the "Wood" Release technique.

Kimimaro clutched the small medicine bottle in his hand, staring at Kiyoshi's retreating figure.

This was the first time since he was born that someone had shown him such kindness.

"That sir is truly a very gentle sir."

Little Kimimaro thought to himself.

Kimimaro still couldn't figure out the meaning of life.

But he found that living like this wasn't so bad.

"I will definitely see you again."

Kimimaro thought so.

……

The next day.

The Land of Rain, New Dawn Base.

"These materials..."

Beiliuhu's eyes burned with passion.

These artificial humans called White Zetsu are truly amazing, giving him a lot of inspiration for the "Oni-Garra Technique".

These White Zetsu, which incorporate a large number of "Hashirama cells," can actually be considered members of the Senju clan and are classified under bloodline limits.

His final bloodline limit doesn't necessarily have to be balanced by the Sharingan.

White Zetsu... is also an option.

"Wait for me, Konoha, Uchiha Kiyoshi."

Beiruhu clenched his fists.

After becoming a rogue ninja, he went into hiding and eventually joined the New Akatsuki organization.

The man named Uchiha Madara immediately recognized that he had been under a genjutsu and dispelled it for him.

Upon hearing this, Hiruko also remembered that Kiyoshi had used illusion magic to interrogate him about the information on his experiments and the "Oni-Garra Technique".

"Um……"

Suddenly, Hiruko sensed a surge of chakra behind him.

When he turned around, it was Obito wearing a mask.

"spot."

"I humbly cry out."

"How's your research on forbidden techniques going?"

Obito's voice was hoarse.

Perhaps because he had already fused with many "Hashiro cells" before, there was nothing unusual about the fact that he now had half of "Hashiro cells" attached to his limbs.

Instead, his chakra reserves and eye power both increased dramatically.

Unfortunately, this is not enough; it is far from sufficient to deal with Kiyoshi.

Obito needs to be stronger, with more power.

Hiruko's forbidden technique gave Obito an idea.

Kiyoshi is so strong, perhaps because he has developed too many bloodline limits.

It just so happens that Hiruko's "Oni-Garara Technique" can transplant five bloodline limits.

Once he gets his hands on these bloodline limits, he'll figure out a way to get Kiyoshi into the "Limited Tsukuyomi".

He will take everything from Kiyoshi in the "Limited Tsukuyomi," including his Sharingan.

"We're making progress; we'll have some preliminary results soon."

Hiruko looked at Obito with apprehension.

If he hadn't been afraid of Madara Uchiha's Sharingan using genjutsu, he would never have handed over the forbidden technique he had painstakingly researched.

However, just as he could fall for Kiyoshi's genjutsu, he could also fall for Uchiha Madara's genjutsu.

"very good."

Obito nodded in satisfaction.

……

"You go along this sea route to the Sea Kingdom, I'll be right back."

At this moment, on a ship overseas, Kiyoshi spoke to Kakashi and the others.

He intends to teleport directly from the outer seas of the Land of Water to the interior of Konoha.

"Yes."

The moonlight and the swift wind nodded in agreement.

The Hokage wanted to find some kind of Summoning Island, an island he had never heard of before.

"Kakashi, after I leave, you will be the captain."

Seiji patted Kakashi's shoulder.

Among Kakashi, Yugao Uzuki, and Hayate Gekko, Kakashi is undoubtedly the strongest.

Even with the Sharingan hindering him, Kakashi is now at least at the level of an elite Jonin.

The man he is now is not the same man who was decadent for several years in the first season.

He had just withdrawn from the front lines of the war and was now active in the shadows.

"I see."

Kakashi nodded.

Upon seeing this, Kiyoshi's figure vanished in an instant.

The space in front of Kiyoshi had transformed into a quiet room.

Hanging in the quiet room was a specially made kunai and some ninja tools.

This is Kiyoshi's house.

He set up special kunai at his home and in other places in Konoha so that he could use the "Flying Thunder God Technique" to arrive as quickly as possible.

He immediately went straight to Konoha Hospital.

……

Passing by Konoha Hospital, Fugaku glanced at the hospital, which was much quieter than usual, and remarked:

"If this were wartime, the place would probably be overflowing with people by now."

"Of course, thankfully Kiyoshi always manages to pull some strings."

Uchiha Tetsuka spoke with a smile.

He and Inahisa were often injured on the battlefield. Once, when Kiyoshi found out, he specially opened a fast track for the two of them.

Uchiha Tekka remembered this incident to this day and became a loyal supporter of Kiyoshi.

"Kiyoshi, he's already Hokage."

Fugaku Uchiha sighed, his tone tinged with bitterness.

After a while, he looked away and decided to lead the remaining Uchiha squad on patrol.

This is the police department's job, maintaining daily security.

Ninjas possess strength surpassing that of ordinary people, and if they clash with ordinary people, it could lead to murder.

They must prevent such a situation from happening.

"Hazuki, what are you doing at the hospital?"

Fugaku looked at Uchiha Hazuki in front of him, puzzled.

"I...I'll go get checked out."

Uchiha Hazuki stammered.

She is now very afraid of Kiyoshi.

Uchiha Kiyoshi fed her something, and she became pregnant!

They also told her it was a clone and that she shouldn't worry.

"Yeah."

Fugaku found it strange.

Do you need a medical check-up?
"Oh, by the way, I saw Mikoto at the hospital."

Uchiha Hazuki seemed to have thought of something and said.

"Mikoto, was she injured during the mission?"

Upon hearing this, Fugaku immediately pressed for an answer.

"Injuried?"

Uchiha Hazuki's expression was strange. After a pause, she said:

"It seems to be about giving birth."

"That's it."

Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he wasn't injured.

The next moment, when he realized what was happening, his eyes widened immediately.

No, having a baby?

Whose child should we have?
When did Misaka get pregnant?

A series of questions arose in Fugaku's mind.

"You continue your patrol, I have something to attend to."

After saying this, Fugaku asked Uchiha Hazuki about Mikoto's location and then hurried over there.

The remaining Uchiha members of the police department looked at each other in bewilderment.

"No, could it be...?"

Tie Huo had a premonition.

"That's right, I feel that's exactly what you're thinking."

Dao Huo patted Tie Huo on the back, and the two looked at each other, each seeing something in the other's eyes.

They really are good brothers, they're on the same wavelength.

The two of them thought this way.

And their guess was that there was only one.

Uchiha... Kiyoshi!
They often saw Kiyoshi entering and leaving Mikoto's house, so the two must have a very good relationship, which was not just that of a mentor and student.

"Mikoto, you..."

Fugaku rushed into the ward and saw Mikoto, who was pale-faced. Her black hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to her beautiful face.

His brows furrowed slightly, as if he was suppressing some kind of pain.

His frail appearance was truly pitiful to behold.

Fugaku wanted to ask whose child it was, but he didn't say it.

He felt this was somewhat accusatory, so he changed his wording, saying:
"How do you feel physically now?"

"Fortunately."

Mikoto's voice was hoarse.

Upon hearing this, Fugaku stood there, looking at Mikoto lying on the hospital bed, and remained silent for a long time.

What else should he say?

He waited for a while and found that more and more medical staff came to take Mikoto to the operation.

But no man was seen barging in.

Having not seen the child's father for so long, Fugaku couldn't help but feel a bit of longing for Mikoto.

That despicable guy, how could he treat Mikoto like that?

"If it's inconvenient for the child to be born, I can take care of him/her."

Fugaku clenched his fist and said those words.

No matter whose child it is, it is flesh of Mikoto's flesh.

Mikoto worked so hard, she couldn't eat well, sleep well, or rest well, and that's how she got this child.

He couldn't bear to let Mikoto's hard work go to waste.

She couldn't bear to see Mikoto raising a child and being subjected to strange looks.

After all, the child's father hasn't shown up yet; he might have already run away with his pants down.

Fugaku wondered if it might be Kiyoshi.

But right now, Kiyoshi has gone out into the mist and can't possibly come back in time.

After ruling out Kiyoshi, the only answer is that Mikoto was abandoned.

"No need, I will raise his child."

Mikoto's voice was soft, but firm.

Upon hearing this, Fugaku was so heartbroken that he could barely breathe.

He wants to raise them, but he can't even raise them?

Mikoto put it very tactfully.

But what Fugaku felt was no less than: "You are not worthy to raise his child."

Then a deep silence fell over the room.

Silence reigns in Konoha tonight.

Fugaku opened his mouth, hesitated several times as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately said nothing.

"Give way."

The medical staff asked Fugaku to move aside, as Mikoto needed to undergo surgery immediately.

Fugaku stepped aside like a zombie, watched Mikoto's departing figure, and walked alone to the window, gazing at the bustling crowd outside.

"I'm here, Misaka."

Just as the transfer bed was about to be pushed into the operating room, Kiyoshi arrived in Konoha.

Mikoto's pained expression was instantly masked by surprise.

"Kiyoshi, you...you didn't go to Kirigakure?"

"Of course I have to rush back for such an important event."

Kiyoshi's lips curled into a smile. (End of Chapter)
