Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Chapter 370: The entry for Awakening the Byakugan, Itachi and Izumi's First Meeting
A person's ability to demonstrate strength will be drastically different depending on whether they are confident or weak.

Given Hinata's abilities, she couldn't possibly be just a mere Chunin.

"Hinata, when you're a little older, I'll teach you Lightning Release ninjutsu first."

Kiyoshi said softly to Hinata.

After teaching Hinata for a while, Kiyoshi suddenly acquired a new term.

"panel."

Kiyoshi thought to himself as he checked the panel of entries that only he could see.

[Entry: The Army of the White-Eyed (Purple)]

[Requirement fulfilled: Train Hinata Hyuga to become a Jonin.]

[Progress: (1%).]

[Effect: Your teaching ability will increase by 100% from its original level.]

Through your accumulated observations of the white eye, you have come to understand its secrets and revealed the genes behind it.

The power of your "Gentle Fist" technique will increase by 100% from its original level.

【Note: You can continue to advance later. 】

"The progress is still 1%, ultimately because Hinata is still too young."

Qingsi thought to himself.

Hinata can only perform the most basic chakra refinement; even some taijutsu training could affect her future growth.

If you want your strength to change rapidly, you'll have to wait until you attend the Ninja Academy.

Reaching the level of a Jonin isn't too difficult.

Hinata will not lack chakra, at least not in terms of chakra reserves.

Another factor that might contribute to Hinata's weakness in the original work is that she has too little chakra.

The formula book shows that her "essence" is only 4.

The only one on par with Hinata is Tenten, who is also ranked 4.

Neji Hyuga has a "skill" rating of 7.

Now that we have cloning and purification, Kiyoshi feels that it shouldn't be only 4, but should be hovering between 6 and 7.

After receiving his professional instruction, and with the help of the "Seed of Immortal Spells," it will be further enhanced.

Putting aside everything else, the "Sage Spell Seed" can easily amplify the power of ninjutsu several times over.

This is just pure numerical data.

Therefore, Kiyoshi is not worried that Hinata will not reach the level of a Jonin, thus preventing him from completing this entry.

Kiyoshi was determined to get this entry.

This is about whether he can discover the hidden gene for white eyes.

Once discovered, Kiyoshi can attempt to develop Byakugan-related abilities and plot the "Tensekaigan".

"Lightning Release ninjutsu... Yes, Kiyoshi-sensei."

Hinata raised her fair face and nodded blankly.

Sometimes she couldn't understand the meaning behind Teacher Qing Si's words.

But her father, Hiashi Hyuga, solemnly told her that she must not disobey Kiyoshi-sensei's wishes, as he was not only her teacher but also the Hokage of the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Hinata still doesn't quite understand what the Hokage is.

"Hokage-sama."

Just then, a knock came from outside the Hokage's office.

When Kiyoshi said "Come in," Hyuga Hizashi led his son outside.

"Neji, you wait outside. I'm going to report to the Hokage."

Hyuga Hizashi turned to his son and said.

On the way, he took his son to buy his favorite herring soba noodles, only to hear Hyuga Himon's report.

The Land of Lightning, which had been quiet for a long time, has recently been making frequent small moves.

After all, the current Fourth Raikage and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki are still imprisoned in the village, and the Land of Lightning is extremely dissatisfied and may do something.

This matter, which could potentially involve war, cannot be taken lightly, so Hyuga Hizashi came directly to report it.

"Hinata..."

Hyuga Hizashi saw Hinata sitting on Kiyoshi's lap and looked away.

The elder brother's daughter is very much loved by the Hokage.

Hyuga Hizashi felt bitter inside, knowing that his son, Hyuga Neji, would soon be branded with the "Caged Bird Seal."

Once the "Caged Bird Seal" is placed on someone, there has not been a single case of someone who has separated from their family breaking free in the hundreds of years since.

His children will also become birds permanently imprisoned in a cage.

When will the caged bird fly away?
"Lord Hokage, our clan has detected signs of Kumogakure ninja activity along the border..."

Hyuga Hizashi truthfully reported the information he had learned.

"Well...I see."

Kiyoshi said calmly.

In the original story, Hinata was abducted when she was three years old.

It is likely that the Fourth Raikage and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki are both imprisoned in the village, which has made Kumogakure quite anxious.

"Neji will be enrolling in the Ninja Academy soon, right?"

Kiyoshi looked up at the small figure standing at the door.

"It will take more than a year."

Hyuga Hizashi Opening.

"That's it."

Qingsi nodded.

"Give this to Hyuga Neji. It's some taijutsu I figured out myself."

Kiyoshi took out a ninjutsu scroll and gave it to Hyuga Hizashi.

The above are some of the "soft boxing techniques" researched by Kiyoshi.

Physical techniques are divided into "hard fist" and "soft fist," and it is not only the Hyuga clan that knows "soft fist."

However, with the added advantage of the White Eye, their clan stands out the most.

These are all theories of "soft boxing" that Kiyoshi had previously gathered, combined with his own ideas to create this work.

This is a good opportunity to give it to Hyuga Neji to conduct experiments and see if my predictions are correct.

If it's correct, then with some further optimization, Kiyoshi will pass it on to Hinata.

Hyuga Neji, a member of the branch family, was able to master the "Gentle Fist Style: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms"—a technique usually reserved for the main family—through his own efforts, without relying on learning from others.

Kiyoshi believes that this self-learning ability will not disappoint him.

"Gentle Fist?"

Hyuga Hizashi took it and glanced at it casually.

He was very puzzled, as he had never heard of Kiyoshi possessing such skills.

But since it was Kiyoshi's kind offer, he couldn't very well refuse.

He immediately said to Hyuga Neji, who was standing at the door:
"Hurry up and thank the Hokage!"

"Thank you... thank you, Lord Hokage."

When Hyuga Neji spoke up, he clearly hadn't expected that he would be involved.

"Hehe, the future belongs to you young people."

Kiyoshi is young, but there is no doubt that Hyuga Neji's generation is younger than him.

A new era is dawning.

More than a decade later, when the world has forgotten the scars of the Third Shinobi World War, Kiyoshi may become a representative figure of the old era.

Then he told Hyuga Hizashi to go down first.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Hinata nodded.

Now that the intelligence has been delivered, the next step is for the Konoha leadership to consider.

The Hyuga clan holds a somewhat delicate position in Konoha. Although they are a major clan like the Uchiha, they also possess strategic abilities like the Byakugan.

However, the Hyuga clan is weak in political matters.

Even the Uchiha clan has its own Konoha Police Department, while their clan has nothing.

This is also related to the Hyuga clan's policy. In addition, their clan lacks top-tier strong individuals, so they also follow the path of "protecting the Byakugan".

As long as this bloodline continues, it will be a way of honoring the ancestors of the Hyuga clan.

"Father, why did the Hokage only accept Hinata as his disciple?"

Walking down the corridor, Hyuga Neji felt a little confused.

Hyuga Hizashi looked at his son and the smooth forehead on his forehead upon hearing this, and after several attempts to speak, he finally sighed and said:
"Neji, my son, you will understand later."

Neji Hyuga was bewildered by his father's words, but he silently remembered this day.

Perhaps many years later, Hyuga Neji will recall that distant afternoon when his father first took him to the Hokage's office and the Hokage gave him a gift.

……

As the sun gradually set behind the mountains, dusk enveloped the leaves in a golden veil.

"Teacher Qingsi, have you finished today's official duties?"

Hinata asked.

"ended."

Qingsi nodded.

As the Hokage, there are bound to be some official matters that require his personal verification.

The reason he spent the whole afternoon dealing with this was because it had been accumulating for months.

He outsourced all the next level of government affairs.

Qingsi spent most of his time on cultivation.

In his view, Naruto's weakness and exhaustion in middle age, which even led to discord between father and son, were all self-inflicted.

As the Hokage of Konoha, he even had to send out shadow clones to help an old lady cross the street.

He has to use shadow clones to handle a lot of miscellaneous tasks every day, and the fatigue from these tasks accumulates on his main body.

Even though Kiyoshi spends 24 hours a day using his puppet clones to learn techniques and conduct research, he keeps it within a limit that does not affect his own condition.

The most direct result of this was that Naruto's combat sluggishness led to him being stabbed through the abdomen by Uchiha Shin's weapon.

If it weren't for Kurama's regenerative abilities, Naruto would have died at the hands of such an insignificant nobody.

When the Otsutsuki invaded later, Naruto was powerless to stop them.

If Naruto had continued his rigorous training after the Fourth Shinobi World War, his strength would have increased significantly, and he wouldn't be in such a predicament.

bang~
There was a soft knocking at the door.

The knocking was very soft, as if the person knocking didn't want to come in.

"Hinata."

Hinatsuki Hinata came in from outside.

She looked at Hinata, who was being held by Kiyoshi, and a complicated expression flashed in her eyes.

For her, it felt somewhat absurd.

Therefore, she often did not treat Hinata as a daughter, but only as a cloned sister.

She simply used her womb to give birth.

"It's time to go home."

Hinata Hinazuki said softly.

"it is good."

Hinata nodded.

She looked up at Qing Si with her small face, as if asking him if he could put her down.

"Hinata, don't rush."

Kiyoshi smiled and placed Hinata on the Hokage chair.

"Lady Hinatsuki, I would like to talk to you about the ninjutsu Hinata will learn in the future."

Kiyoshi said.

Such an important matter naturally requires informing the guardian.

"what?"

Hinata Hina looked at Seiji with suspicion, not understanding what he was planning to do now.

"Please, may I speak to you in private?"

Kiyoshi said.

The Hokage Building has many rooms, many of which are vacant.

No one will come without the orders of the Qing official.

Kiyoshi also sent away the secret agents who had been lurking around him.

He doesn't like having someone around spying on him; he just needs someone who can come quickly when he calls.

"That's not necessary, Lord Hokage."

Hinatsuki Hinata spoke.

Beneath the simple kimono was a light-colored silk ribbon that cinched her slender, soft waist.

Although she was fuller than the female ninja who had been training diligently, the extra flesh perfectly highlighted the word "beautiful woman".

"It concerns Hinata's future, so it's better to be more serious, don't you think, Lady Hinata?"

Kiyoshi touched Hinata's short blue hair with his hand.

"This……"

Hinatsuki Hyuga still harbored doubts.

She knew exactly what Kiyoshi wanted to do, so she politely declined.

But Qing Si remained unmoved, as if he couldn't understand her hints.

"What's wrong? Are you in a difficult situation, Lady Hinatsuki?"

Kiyoshi lowered his hand from Hinata's head, his dark eyes fixed on Hinazuki.

"...Then please grant me this favor, Lord Hokage."

Hinatsuki Hyuga sighed softly to herself.

She did this for Hinata, for the Hyuga clan...

Click.

The door is closed.

Hinata was the only one left in the Hokage's office.

She looked curiously at the room's furnishings. Portraits of the Hokage from different generations hung on the walls.

From the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, all the way to the Fourth Hokage, Kiyoshi.

"The photo looks like the Fire Shadow Rock outside."

Hinata thought to herself, admiring the craftsmen who carved the giant stone statues.

As she was comparing the differences in details, she noticed that the portrait of Professor Kiyoshi was nodding.

Hinata felt something was off.

After a while, she realized that the portrait wasn't nodding, but rather shaking up and down.

"I'd better meditate for a while."

Hinata waited quietly for a while without any results, then got off the Hokage chair.

I wiped the floor with my hand, then sat down to clear my mind.

She didn't know how much time had passed before Hinata finally heard someone calling her name.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Hinata Hinazuki's long hair falling loosely.

It was damp with sweat.

"gone back."

Hinata Hinazuki said.

She wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Yes."

Hinata nodded earnestly.

She stood up and took Hinata Hinazuki's hand.

The two people left the Hokage's office.

Kiyoshi returned to the Hokage chair and covered his eyes with his hands.

It's so...wonderful.

A red glint flashed in Kiyoshi's eyes.

Such peaceful and serene times will be the best time for him to enhance the foundation of his pupil power.

Kiyoshi could feel that his right eye was about to open.

And his left eye is about to enter the true "eternal Mangekyou Sharingan".

He already possesses eye power comparable to this level, and even after reaching that level, Kiyoshi himself doesn't know how deep his eye power will become.

Eye power at the level of "Rinnegan"?

However, it is clearly foreseeable that the left eye will achieve a breakthrough even faster.

The uneven evolution speed of his left and right eyes also gave Kiyoshi the ability to switch between them independently.

Madara, for example, evolved his Sharingan from a single tomoe into the Rinnegan, thus being able to freely switch between the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Rinnegan.

Sasuke's Rinnegan, a gift from the Sage of Six Paths, cannot be switched or even turned off; it must be kept active at all times.

In other words, one day in the future, Kiyoshi might be able to develop the "Rinnegan" in his left eye and the "Tenseigan" in his right eye.

Even combining the two could lead to entirely new possibilities.

With the glossary panel, these are no longer just vague ideas.

……

Xiao organization.

This place is filled with glass culture containers filled with green nutrient solution.

If you look closely, you'll find that there are white human bodies inside.

Those people had no genitals, green hair, and their eyes were tightly closed.

"Wow, there are actually people who have studied 'interstitial cells' to this extent."

Orochimaru looked at these androids with great interest.

These were all research materials given to him by Madara Uchiha.

Orochimaru originally thought that his research on "Hashirama cells" was ahead of the entire ninja world, but he didn't expect there to be other experts.

Not only do these androids not get swallowed up even when they incorporate a large number of "Hashira cells", they also have very little rejection.

It can be said that as long as he possesses these bodies, he can also use the "Wood" Release technique.

The amount of chakra is the only hurdle that cannot be bypassed.

Even so, these artificial humans represent a peak that ordinary ninjas would find difficult to surpass.

"One can seize a body using 'Reincarnation of the Undead'."

Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue and licked the corner of his mouth.

Her current body has also undergone "software modification," allowing her to perform contorted movements that defy common sense at will.

To become powerful, one must ultimately rely on bloodline limits.

Orochimaru learned this lesson the hard way after suffering a loss at Kiyoshi's hands.

The power of ordinary ninjas is ultimately limited.

"We still need to choose a good body."

Orochimaru's secret passage.

These artificial humans, according to Madara Uchiha, are Zetsu.

But there is another strange creature, also called Jue, except that it is entirely black.

To make it easier to distinguish, the white one is called White Zetsu, and the black one is called Black Zetsu.

These White Zetsu are not all of the same quality; there are differences in their abilities.

What he needs to do is choose a suitable vessel for himself and undergo a second "reincarnation".

Even if one becomes a White Zetsu, there is no longer a distinction between genders.

But these things are not important to Orochimaru; she has transcended the concept of gender.

"Orochimaru, how's your research on the technique coming along?"

hiss……

A ripple appeared in the space, revealing a masked figure.

"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique, huh? Just prepare living sacrifices."

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth.

The "Impure World Reincarnation Technique" is not a finished product; there is still much room for improvement.

It's unclear whether the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, didn't want this forbidden technique to continue desecrating the dead, or whether he simply lacked the ability to further refine it.

Like the First Hokage, Tobirama Senju died a hasty and tragic death.

"Very good, revive Shennong first."

Obito took out a jar containing genetic material that White Zetsu had collected from the Land of Rain.

"Shennong".

Orochimaru remembered this burly man.

Shennong once studied forbidden arts with him, but was later killed by Qing Si.

"You wish to obtain 'Dark Chakra'?"

Orochimaru instantly understood Madara Uchiha's plan.

"Yes."

Obito nodded.

The chakra requirement for "Limited Tsukuyomi" is too high, so he can use "Dark Chakra" to fill the gap instead.

As long as negative emotions persist, "dark chakra" will continue to flow.

"Also... Uchiha Kiyoshi went to the Land of Snow, and it seems he acquired a technology called 'Chakra Armor.'"

Opening with soil.

Orochimaru could be considered the chief scientist of the New Akatsuki organization.

Another one who created mechanisms and puppets was Nagato.

However, he relied on the power of the "Rinnegan"; without the "Rinnegan," he would not be able to replicate these.

"Uchiha Kiyoshi went to the Land of Snow?"

Orochimaru repeated the sentence.

He had never paid attention to this small country before.

It was so remote and desolate, with extreme cold all year round, even worse than the Land of Rain where it rains all year round.

"I ordered White Zetsu to bring back a set."

hiss……

A ripple appeared in space, and a suit of armor flew out.

"I will bring a living sacrifice next time I visit you, and I hope your research will not disappoint me."

Obito's mask revealed a single eye, which gave Orochimaru a deep look.

He knew that Orochimaru had only joined him to obtain information.

Obito didn't care, as long as Orochimaru did what he wanted.

He can also provide support for the human experiments Orochimaru wants to conduct.

These white zeolites are the best source material.

"Hehe, no problem."

Orochimaru's lips curled into a smile.

She further modified this body, making it even more like a snake.

At the same time, it also brought many side effects.

That's why Orochimaru is considering a better new vessel.

"hope so."

Obito's voice echoed in the laboratory, but his figure had vanished without a trace.

……

Uchiha settlement.

Mikoto carried the groceries home.

The rapidly developing weasel helped carry a bag of ingredients and silently followed Mikoto.

Once he developed his own way of thinking, he enjoyed thinking very much.

To outsiders, he appears to be somewhat taciturn.

"Hazuki, what's wrong with you...?"

Suddenly, a figure walking down the street caught Mikoto's attention.

Uchiha Hazuki was holding a little girl in her arms, whose eyebrows were very similar to those of Uchiha Hazuki.

"It's my... friend's child who entrusted it to me."

Uchiha Hazuki thought for a moment before speaking.

She had mixed feelings about the child in her arms.

That was a clone created by Kiyoshi forcing her to drink some kind of potion.

They even forcibly named it Uchiha Izumi.

Where is Yamada Taihiro?

Seeing Hazuki Uchiha's complicated expression, Mikoto avoided the topic.

"He... had an accident while on a mission."

Uchiha Hazuki's voice was tinged with sobs.

"I am sorry for your loss."

Mikoto never expected such a turn of events.

She only remembered that Hazuki had a good relationship with a person from another tribe, and many people in the tribe thought that the two would get together.

If Uchiha Hazuki were to marry into that family, she would need to change her surname.

If the other party were to marry into the family, it would be a beautiful story.

This demonstrates the magnanimity of the Uchiha clan.

This has attracted a lot of attention.

Now, upon hearing the news, this is the situation.

"nothing."

Uchiha Hazuki softened her tone for a moment.

It was during this process that the child in her arms became her pillar of support to keep living.

Humans are not plants or trees, how can they be without feelings, especially in such a special situation?

"Who's next to you?"

Hazuki Uchiha was also very curious about Itachi, who was next to Mikoto.

All she knew was that one day, Mikoto Uchiha suddenly became pregnant.

The child's father remains a mystery.

Some rumors suggest he is the Hokage's illegitimate son.

Some people, however, think this is nonsense.

"Itachi, Uchiha Itachi."

Mikoto only mentioned Itachi's name, ignoring Hazuki's attempts to subtly inquire about the child's father.

"Itachi? Her name is Izumi."

Seeing that Mikoto was unwilling to talk about it, Uchiha Hazuki did not intend to press for details.

Uchiha Hazuki waved Izumi's small hand in a greeting gesture.

Upon hearing his name mentioned, the weasel, carrying a bag of ingredients, looked up.

The twilight light slid down the nasolabial folds on his cheeks, giving the seemingly young and innocent child a sense of maturity.

"Say hello, Itachi."

Mikoto said.

"Hello, I am Itachi."

Upon hearing his mother's instructions, Itachi greeted Uchiha Hazuki and the little girl named Uchiha Izumi.

"...Itachi."

Quan murmured the name softly.

Their eyes met.

For some reason, Itachi felt that Izumi... was a little different.
