Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Chapter 362 Forging the Strongest Ninja Sword, and the Deal with the Priestess

"How about...Sasuke?"

Qingsi smiled slightly.

Sasuke is the reincarnation of Indra's chakra, and no matter what, Kiyoshi wants to give birth to Sasuke to see how things go.

If this were not done, it would be unknown whether Indra would be reincarnated in this era, or in whom he would be reincarnated.

Without Indra's chakra, it is almost impossible to draw out the chakra of the Six Paths.

The path to the "Rinnegan" will be blocked, making advancement difficult.

The previous reincarnations, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, also lost Ashura and Indra's chakra, making it impossible to refine them further.

Unless Kiyoshi uses the Dragon Vein to travel back to when they were still reincarnated to obtain chakra, or goes to see if there is any chakra left behind by Hamura Otsutsuki on the moon.

Kiyoshi has the Byakugan's latent gene in his eyes. If he obtains that chakra, he might be able to develop the Byakugan or even the Tenseigan.

The Tenseigan is in no way inferior to the Rinnegan. Its first appearance showed it splitting the moon in two with a single move and absorbing Naruto's chakra from a distance.

In addition to the "Tenseigan", there is another path for the Byakugan to evolve, which is the "Jōgan".

The "pure eye" has a light blue appearance, while the whites of the eyes turn black.

Possessing space-time ninjutsu abilities and chakra flow perception, he can see through barriers of different dimensions and also has some ability to restrain the Rinnegan.

The "Jōgan" is incredibly powerful, serving as a powerful tool for Boruto.

"Fireworks can only be created depending on the circumstances."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

"……it is good."

Seeing that Kiyoshi seemed to be deep in thought, Mikoto nodded gently, her face slightly shy.

After a rustling sound, the sound of the earth reviving came from inside the room.

Spring is the season of rejuvenation, but unfortunately it has already passed, and now we have entered the height of summer.

Kiyoshi said that missing spring was no big deal, he could always buy a ticket later.

Because this is also the season for nurturing life.

……

The land of rain.

"Could it be... those eyes are... I never thought those rumors were true, that they were hidden within Akatsuki."

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth.

"Rinnegan!"
Legend has it that the "Rinnegan" is the most revered eye among the three great dojutsu.

Those are the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, who created the entire world and appeared only in mythology.

"You rogue ninja from Konoha, what brings you to stop us?"

Pain spoke quietly.

Nagato eventually escaped.

The Land of Rain was still embroiled in internal strife, and he was disappointed in Yahiko's abilities.

It is impossible to govern a country well based on ideals alone.

This is irresponsible towards the people living in the Land of Rain; someone will eventually die because of Yahiko's naiveté.

In Nagato's heart, Yahiko and Konan remain the most important people.

But this does not stop Nagato from continuing to pursue the peace in his heart.

"I'm really lucky. After coming to the Land of Rain from the Land of Fire, I've received such a pleasant surprise. Could the Rinnegan be superior to Kiyoshi's Sharingan?"

Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils were fixed on Pain.

"I'm now very curious about you all and really want to find out more about you."

Orochimaru's long tongue protruded from his mouth.

She is no longer in the disheveled state she was when being chased by Kiyoshi. After resting for a few days in the Land of Rain, Orochimaru has recovered.

"I don't care what you're interested in, you're going to live here today."

Scorpion manipulates "Hiruko" to raise its tail, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

"It's hard for me to say, it's also possible that I'm the one who caught you..."

Orochimaru stomped his foot, his figure leaping past Sasori, and reached straight for Pain's eyes.

Just as he was about to touch it, it was as if an invisible barrier blocked Orochimaru's hand.

"What!!"

His eyes widened as he was thrown back into the air.

"Orochimaru, there's a limit to joking around. You should explain your true intentions."

Pain's expression remained unchanged as he slowly lowered his hand.

He just used "Shinra Tensei," which can send anything flying.

"Heh heh... yeah, I thought I was just lucky. Well then, I'll get straight to the point: how about I join Xinxiao?"

Orochimaru, who had fallen to the ground and carved a furrow in the ground, got up, dusted himself off, and spoke to Pain.

"This bastard..."

Sasori, hidden inside "Hiruko," became enraged and tricked him, using himself to distract him so he could launch a sneak attack on Pain.

“I know that you all have a grudge against Kiyoshi-kun… no, Uchiha Kiyoshi, right? I was also seriously injured by him.”

Seeing that Pain did not react, Orochimaru spoke again.

As expected, after these words were spoken, both Pain and Sasori's expressions changed.

"Then we'll let you join the New Dawn organization."

The Way of Pain.

"Is this really good?"

Scorpion asked.

"Rather than letting him wander around gathering intelligence, it's better to keep him by our side. Besides, he should also know a lot about Uchiha Kiyoshi and Konoha."

Nagato thought things through very thoroughly.

Orochimaru, being one of the Legendary Sannin, must have possessed much of Konoha's hidden intelligence.

With Kiyoshi as an additional factor, there's no reason not to let Orochimaru join.

"Besides, as long as I'm here, he can't act recklessly."

Nagato, controlling Pain, said confidently.

He possessed the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, and had only ever suffered a loss against Uchiha Kiyoshi.

He could easily deal with a rotten snake like Orochimaru.

"Let's go back."

The Way of Pain.

He needs to think about how Xinxiao should develop next.

Madara Uchiha seems to have some kind of "Limited Tsukuyomi," and he's been tinkering with it lately, pouring a lot of chakra into a crystal ball.

He needs to be careful that Madara doesn't use this trick on him.

……

Several days passed.

Qingsi's house, quiet room.

Golden "Sage Chakra" swirled around Kiyoshi, forming a lifelike golden robe covered with black patterns.

At a certain moment, Kiyoshi suddenly opened his eyes.

"Immortal Technique: Inorganic Rebirth"

Qing Si uttered a few syllables.

The walls of the quiet room suddenly began to twist and grow intertwined spikes, eventually turning into a chair.

It looks like a throne of thorns forged from rock.

"Finally completed 'Immortal Technique: Inorganic Rebirth'."

Kiyoshi looked at the scene before him with satisfaction, then slowly walked to the stone chair and sat down.

After practicing the "Sage Techniques" of Ryuchi Cave, he kept trying to imitate Yakushi Kabuto's techniques from memory, and eventually he figured it out.

Both of them possessed Orochimaru's research achievements, the same "Sage Techniques," and Kiyoshi's talent far surpassed that of Kabuto Yakushi. At this moment, "Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation" was born.

Those who explore the ultimate path will arrive at the same destination, regardless of their specific routes.

Ultimately, this is just an application of the "divine arts" of Ryuchi Cave.

"The 'Immortal Technique: Inorganic Rebirth' can imbue life into inanimate objects and control them."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin, and with his chakra, the rock spikes transformed into a stone sword.

He gently grasped it and waved it twice.

The category of inorganic matter is actually very broad. Rocks, soil, metals, buildings, and even air dust all belong to inorganic matter. "Immortal Technique: Inorganic Rebirth" can give them the ability to move and change their form, similar to that of living organisms.

Furthermore, the practitioner has absolute control over these "activated" inorganic substances, and can shape, drive, attack, and defend them at will.

puff.

Kiyoshi released his grip, and the stone sword transformed back into a thrusting motion.

He opened a sealed scroll and poured out all the materials stored inside.

Fragments of seven ninja swords, including "Broken Sword - Executioner's Blade", "Double Swords - Hiramekarei", and "Long Sword - Sewing Needle", were piled together.

Kiyoshi has already sold all the swords of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to Kirigakure for a considerable sum of money.

He even took a piece of the "Raiden Kiba" from Ringo Ameyuri's hands.

"Then comes the Six Paths Tools."

Kiyoshi opened another sealed scroll, from which several ninja tools fell out.

They are "Golden Rope", "Seven-Star Sword", "Red Gourd", and "Banana Leaf Fan".

Of the "Six Paths Ninja Tools," only the "Amber Purification Bottle" is not in Kiyoshi's possession.

Kiyoshi's gaze fell on the floor, where his collected "materials" were quietly displayed.

"Then let's begin the fusion."

He did not rise, remaining seated on the thorn-like stone throne, channeling his chakra to unleash "Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation".

This power, carrying the unique coldness of a snake and the weight of the earth, slowly flowed into the stone chair beneath him, and through the contact between the stone chair and the ground, quietly spread to the entire floor of the quiet room.

The solid ground in front of him seemed to come alive, violently surging and rising under the drive of "Sage Chakra".

The hard rock softened and flowed against all reason, eventually shaping into a huge, semi-enclosed crucible-shaped container, which is the furnace.

With a slight thought, Kiyoshi lifted the seven ninja sword fragments in the corner with magnetic force and precisely threw them into the furnace shaped from activated rock.

The furnace was filled with brilliant light!

All the materials were thrown into the furnace by Kiyoshi, where they mingled and collided.

The initial fusion of these materials forms a sphere of liquid metal that constantly changes shape in the furnace.

Next, Kiyoshi threw out his ninja sword, the "God Tree Branch", the Kusanagi Sword, and some other precious minerals, allowing these materials to fuse together.

"Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation" can absolutely control inorganic matter. The stronger the caster's chakra control, the stronger their control over inorganic matter.

Under Kiyoshi's control, the ninja sword and the "God Tree Branch" flew toward the liquid metal sphere at the center of the furnace. They were not attached to the surface, but rather, under the guidance of "Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation," they were deeply imprinted and fused into the core material structure of the metal sphere.

"It takes more chakra than I expected."

Kiyoshi looked at the furnace in front of him.

These were all manipulated by him using chakra, and every second they consumed his chakra.

The Sharingan gives Kiyoshi the ability to observe at a microscopic level. Sasuke's three tomoe can see cells, let alone Kiyoshi's Mangekyou Sharingan.

To achieve a more precise combination, Kiyoshi needs to be even more careful.

An hour later.

The light in the furnace gradually faded. Kiyoshi formed hand seals, and the furnace instantly disintegrated. The activated rocks melted into the ground beneath the floor like a receding tide, and the inorganic matter they contained returned to its original form.

A ninja sword lay quietly on the floor.

The blade blank had a deep, dark appearance, like a pool of ink.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that the blade is not smooth, but rather covered with extremely fine textures, resembling dragon or snake scales.

Kiyoshi reached out his hand, and the newly born ninja sword seemed to sense its master's call, emitting a low hum and flying into his hand on its own.

It is cool to the touch, yet it contains a vibrant life force.

Without consciously inputting chakra, Kiyoshi could clearly feel that the blade seemed to have its own faint "pulse," resonating with his "Sage Chakra."

"Succeeded..."

Kiyoshi flicked his wrist slightly and casually waved it in the air.

A bolt of lightning tore through the air, struck the wall, and instantly pierced through it. "Not bad, it combines the characteristics of seven ninja swords."

Qing Si nodded slightly.

The lightning just now was clearly the power of "Lightning Blade: Fang," a blade capable of unleashing lightning-style ninjutsu.

"This sword absorbed the characteristics of seven ninja swords and the 'Six Paths Ninja Tools,' and its appearance resembles scales, hence the name 'Black Scale.'"

Kiyoshi gave the ninja sword "Kurorin" a good name.

With a slight exertion of his hand, the tiny scales on the black scale blade instantly cracked open, like scattered blades, floating in the air.

The suspended fragments vaguely pieced together the outline of the blade, making it appear incredibly slender.

laugh!
These fragments are pieced together and can change according to Qing Si's will.

"This will come in handy in future battles."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

Even after Boruto returned as a rogue ninja, he still used the Kusanagi sword when fighting against those "Six Paths level" powerhouses.

Kiyoshi's Black Scales far surpass Boruto's Kusanagi Sword in both strength and functionality; they are not even in the same league.

"It can be shrunk further."

Kiyoshi was very satisfied with the reduction in size of the ninja sword.

This ability comes from the Kusanagi sword forged by Orochimaru, and he has incorporated these elements into it as well.

Kiyoshi didn't know if it was because his chakra control was too strong, or because he had developed "Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation" himself.

I feel that it's somewhat different from the original "Immortal Technique: Inorganic Rebirth," and seems to be even more powerful.

……

In the quiet shrine.

The noble priestess frowned, her forehead covered in a fine sheen of sweat.

Whenever someone around her dies, she inevitably senses their impending death.

The power of "prophecy of death" allowed the priestess lineage to contend with demons and survive for thousands of years.

But now, every time it's initiated, it's related to a man.

Uchiha... Kiyoshi.

Maitreya suddenly opened his eyes, breathing slightly heavily.

She dreamed of Uchiha Kiyoshi again.

I also dreamed that someone died.

The person who died was just a tourist who happened to have come to the shrine to burn incense and had seen Maitreya from afar.

The threshold for the activation of the "Prophecy of Death" lies in "those around you," but even Miroku himself does not know how to determine this.

Because sometimes, guards she didn't even know would die for her.

Therefore, it is quite normal to encounter a deceased tourist at a shrine that is frequented by tourists every day.

The important thing is what Maitreya can glean from this.

The tourist died of a heart attack on her way down the mountain, and not far away, she actually saw Uchiha Kiyoshi coming up the steps.

Then, with a dizzying sensation, Uchiha Kiyoshi was already in front of her.

"No, I have to go find the Kushina from before."

Maitreya's Secret Passage.

She once hinted and guided a red-haired woman named Kushina, deceiving her that Kiyoshi was her destined love.

The goal, of course, was to have Kushina draw Kiyoshi's attention away from her so that she wouldn't be bothered by him.

"I'll be going back to China this week, and I hope everything goes smoothly."

The priestess Miroku began to pray to the gods.

The Fire Country Daimyo had already left Konoha. The Demon Country Daimyo and she originally planned to leave together, but the Demon Country Daimyo's health suddenly deteriorated, so they stayed in Konoha for several more months.

The Kingdom of Demons has ministers loyal to the daimyo of the Kingdom of Demons, so there is no fear that not returning for a long time will have any drawbacks.

Moreover, she was a shaman who handled matters with ease, which meant she had a firm grasp on the aspect of religious faith.

Anyone who dares to be disloyal is easily killed by fanatical followers.

Over the next few days, Miroku deliberately gathered information about Kushina.

Upon learning that Kushina had come to the shrine, they rushed over and found her immediately.

Kushina also told the priestess Miroku about her mission to the Land of Snow.

"This is an opportunity for you and your destined partner to deepen your relationship."

The shrine maiden, looking quite serious, began to try and persuade Kushina.

How could the clueless Kushina possibly compare to the discerning Miroku?

She had seen countless believers of all kinds and had long since developed her own understanding of human nature.

"But……"

Kushina hesitated for a moment before telling Minato Namikaze what had happened.

Years ago, Minato Namikaze rescued her from the hands of the Cloud Village ninja under the moonlight, and their relationship grew much closer after that.

Later, Minato Namikaze became engrossed in developing the "Rasengan" and busy with missions, and their relationship cooled considerably.

Just then, Kiyoshi barged in.

Upon hearing this, Miroku continued to deceive Kushina.

Tell her that everything else is temporary, and she must focus on Seisakusho.

"Your Highness, would you mind if I also offered some incense?"

Just as Miroku was struggling to convince Kushina, Kiyoshi's voice came from outside.

Maitreya's expression changed slightly, and he placed his hands in front of his abdomen, appearing dignified and elegant.

"Lord Hokage."

"No need for that, Your Highness the Priestess can call me Kiyoshi."

Qingsi smiled slightly.

When Kushina saw Kiyoshi arrive, her earlobes turned slightly red.

She was just here talking to the priestess about those things.

I don't know if Kiyoshi heard it.

Kushina grew increasingly nervous as she thought about it, her cheeks burning.

"Kushina, have you come to the shrine to pray for blessings?"

"Ah."

Kushina nodded gently.

She quickly composed herself, a bright smile appearing on her pretty face, and said through her parted lips:

"Kiyoshi, you too?"

"I've come here to discuss some important matters with Maitreya."

Kiyoshi stated that during their trip to the Land of Snow, he planned to have Naruto explore the mysteries of life from scratch.

Now that Naruto is almost here, there's no need for Miroku's story to come to a close.

Of course, before that, Kiyoshi wanted the shrine maiden's help.

The ninja sword Black Scale needs a good scabbard.

Because of the influence of "Immortal Technique: Inorganic Rebirth", Black Scale can be considered a half-life form.

It can defend itself simply; for example, if it senses danger, it will automatically jump out to protect Kiyoshi. This is the only concept that Kiyoshi has instilled in it.

However, if its blade accidentally touches anything, it may trigger the effects of the seven ninja swords or the "Six Paths Ninja Tools".

Therefore, Kiyoshi needs to forge a scabbard with strong sealing capabilities.

This requires the help of Kushina and Miroku. The former possesses special chakra, which Kumogakure went so far as to infiltrate Konoha to kidnap for her.

The latter is the chakra of a priestess, capable of traversing time and possessing powerful sealing abilities.

That's right, the so-called "prophecy of death" is actually a priestess traveling to a certain time and space and presenting the results of her observations in the form of a dream.

In "Naruto: The Death of Naruto", when Shiwan was in danger, Miroku used the chakra residing in his amulet to travel through time and give Shiwan power, saving her.

Kiyoshi planned to first use the priestess's chakra to make an inner lining of the scabbard, and then use Kushina's chakra to make an outer layer.

The resulting scabbard possesses two sealing abilities, preventing the power from leaking out.

"Business?"

Maitreya frowned slightly, a hint of disbelief appearing on his dignified and noble face.

Who is Uchiha Kiyoshi? How could she not know?

"Your Highness, don't you believe me?"

Kiyoshi remained calm and pulled the shrine maiden away.

It hurts!

Maitreya felt as if his wrist was being gripped by an iron clamp, and he could not move.

She wanted to angrily berate Kiyoshi for being inhuman.

However, he was also concerned that Kushina was still there, and there were still many people outside the palace.

If any bad news were to spread, it would be a fatal blow to the priestess's reputation.

Once inside the room, Kiyoshi took out his scabbard and placed it on the table.

This was also something Qing Si made using "Immortal Technique: Inorganic Rebirth," using only some precious minerals and "divine tree branches."

"You apply a sealing spell on it."

Qingsi said.

He will infuse his pure chakra into Miroku, and after Miroku transforms this chakra, it will become the shrine maiden's chakra.

This would allow her to use sealing techniques far beyond her own limits.

"scabbard?"

Miroku looked at the scabbard that Kiyoshi had taken out with a strange expression.

The sheath is entirely black, and the snake scale pattern shimmers with a warm luster under the light.

There is a thick black and gold line at the spine of the sheath, which looks very heavy.

Although he found it strange, Miroku still placed a sealing spell on it, wanting only to get rid of Kiyoshi as soon as possible.

After a period of time, purple sealing patterns appeared on the inner wall of the sclerotium.

Kiyoshi took out the black scale from the sealing scroll and put it in.

Click.

Perfect fit.

The power above has been initially restricted. Once Kiyoshi applies another layer of the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique, he can ensure that the power will not leak out in normal circumstances.

"How is the daimyo of the Land of Demons doing these days?"

Qingsi asked.

After becoming Hokage, he hadn't seen the Daimyo of the Land of Demons for quite some time.

"not too good."

When this was mentioned, a worried look appeared on Maitreya's face.

"That's it."

Qingsi looked at Miroku.

Miroku was still dressed as a priestess, with rounded hips and waist-length silk hair cascading down like a waterfall.

Perhaps due to the passage of time, her fair and plump body has acquired a kind of mature charm.

And an indescribable, ethereal quality.

This is a characteristic that many women do not possess; the only one comparable to her is Yakushi Nono.

One was a witch, the other a nun; both were considered clergy.

"Do you have any idea?"

As if struck by a sudden thought, Miroku abruptly looked up at Kiyoshi.

Kiyoshi showed no sign of distress; clearly, such a matter was insignificant to him.

"Who knows."

Qing Si spread his hands.

As the saying goes, "Where there is a will, there is a way."

Sincerity has not yet been demonstrated, how can metal and stone be moved?
