Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Chapter 372 Samui's gradual transformation, going to plot the Seven-Tailed Fox

Chapter 372 Samui's gradual transformation, going to plot against the Seven-Tails
Soon, another period of time passed.

Sasuke's birth did not cause much of a stir.

Even though many people saw Mikoto entering and leaving Kiyoshi's house, no one dared to talk about it openly.

They only dared to share their guesses in private.

Everyone thinks that Mikoto and Kiyoshi are likely having an affair.

Mikoto's two children are Kiyoshi's children.

However, there are many different opinions as to why the relationship was not confirmed.

……

Grass Country Experimental Base.

Kiyoshi looked at Sasuke's blood in the glass test tube.

The ingredients have been investigated and found to be very common.

At most, they will have a few more bloodline limits than ordinary people.

For example, Sasuke also has the potential to awaken "Magnet Release," "Storm Release," and "Shikotsumyaku" (Corpse Bone Pulse).

It wouldn't be surprising if Sasuke suddenly used the Byakugan one day.

Kiyoshi already possesses recessive genes, but he needs to use a term to activate them.

Offspring will inherit their parents' genes, but whether they will surpass them or become inferior is unknown.

"Chakra is a mixture of spiritual and physical energy. You can't detect anything in the physical body, so the focus is on the soul, right?"

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

This aligns with the principles of Indra and Asura reincarnation.

The two were actually attached to the soul of the reincarnated person, and the soul of the reincarnated person, which was affected, began to affect the physical body.

Of course, it's also possible that Sasuke was too young.

Only when his chakra becomes abundant will Indra's chakra also grow.

"We also need to gather a batch of medical ninjas from Yakushi Nonou's side."

Kiyoshi laid down Sasuke's blood.

Blood is a renewable resource, and he can draw Sasuke's blood every now and then. As long as it doesn't exceed a certain limit, it won't have any impact on his health.

"Then we can also try developing 'Dragon Life Reincarnation'."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

In his early years, he controlled Ryushita of the Kusagakure Flower School, whose bloodline limit allowed them to share life force.

Kiyoshi wanted to use this ninjutsu to study more about the mysteries of life force.

For example, they could reverse the process and absorb and carry the life force of others in exchange for their own strength.

Furthermore, Kiyoshi also possesses the "Power of the Outer Path," a forbidden technique known as "Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique," which is supposedly only mastered by those with the "Rinnegan." He might be able to use it.

However, the price of this ninjutsu is that it will deplete the user's life force, trading one's life for another.

But what if you absorb the life force of others beforehand and use their life force to complete this technique?

This way, the cost of using it can be avoided.

"Ryushe, is Muko still in Kusagakure?"

Qingsi inquired about this matter.

Muko is Ryusei's childhood friend and also the boss in "Naruto: Blood Prison".

In order to investigate the cause of Mugou's death, she disguised herself as a man and infiltrated Hozuki Castle prison, where she met Naruto, who happened to be imprisoned.

Standing in front of Kiyoshi was a female ninja.

She had long white hair that cascaded down her body like a waterfall.

"No... I'm not here."

Upon hearing Kiyoshi's question, a flicker of pain crossed Ryusei's face.

"I see."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

If he wasn't there, then he must have been ordered by Mugou's father, who is also the lord of Hozuki Castle, to open the "Box of Bliss".

In the original story, Wugou was devoured by the "Box of Bliss" because he didn't have enough chakra.

This became the lifelong pain of the Lord of Hozuki Castle.

He spent ten years collecting chakra, attempting to reopen the "Box of Elysium" and resurrect his son.

The Immaculate One that emerged from the "Box of Bliss" could no longer be called human; it had become a completely new monster.

This monster easily defeated Naruto in "Sage Mode" the moment it appeared.

Judging from the current situation, Wu Gou has probably already entered the "Box of Bliss".

"Record any actions taken by Kusagakure."

Qingsi spoke.

This "Box of Bliss" is said to be one of the divine artifacts left behind by the Sage of Six Paths, possessing the ability to grant wishes.

But this thing will only distort human desires, thus leading to the most tragic end.

Kiyoshi was not interested in its function of fulfilling desires.

What a joke! Even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't grant other people's wishes. His sons fought amongst themselves for a thousand years, and the Ninja Clan he founded was destroyed in history.

If your wish could come true, there wouldn't be so much trouble afterwards.

Kiyoshi is interested in the monster "Satoru" that was created by the "Box of Elysium".

Its essence is a collection of chakra that is personified through human desires.

This is very similar to "Dark Chakra" and "Wraith Power".

Kiyoshi wants to use the "Box of Elysium" to allow the white snake to evolve once again.

In that case, the white snake might become a different kind of chakra life form.

This will greatly help Kiyoshi refine the "power of demons".

"Drink this medicine, then take fifty milliliters of blood into a cup."

Qing Si took out the corresponding instrument and gave it to Long She.

Longshe nodded blankly and did as Qingsi said.

……

Xiao organization.

"Heh heh, I didn't realize you were such a genius back in Konoha."

Orochimaru looked at Hiruko with a sigh.

He never expected that Hiruko, who was always at the bottom of the class, could develop such a groundbreaking technique as "Oni-Ya-Ra Technique".

"Hmph, Orochimaru, don't be so arrogant."

Hiruko glared at Orochimaru.

He felt very uncomfortable in the Akatsuki organization, feeling that it was full of lunatics.

He loved money and transformed himself into a monster of stitched-togethers.

There are also madmen who abandon their flesh and blood and transform themselves into mechanical puppets.

Even that leader, Uchiha Madara, was always acting strangely and doing who-knows-what.

If this weren't the best place to deal with Kiyoshi, Hiruko would want to leave the organization right now.

"First, demonstrate the 'Impure World Reincarnation Technique,' and then reveal all its secrets to me..."

Obito appeared inside the laboratory.

He didn't take their argument to heart, as long as there was no killing of comrades within the organization.

If they were so easily disciplined, they wouldn't have become rogue ninja.

"Heh heh, we need a living sacrifice."

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth.

"The human sacrifice was prepared long ago."

Obito waved his hand, and two bound ninjas appeared.

They looked at Obito in horror, then at Orochimaru and Hiruko.

They desperately wanted to escape.

But he discovered that his Achilles tendon had already been severed by Otto, and he could only writhe on the ground in despair.

"The Impure World Reincarnation technique belongs to the category of spirit summoning arts, which can summon the soul of the deceased from the Pure Land to the Impure World in the mortal realm."

As Orochimaru explained, he took out a scroll covered with inscriptions of summoning techniques.

Obito listened quietly.

He already knew about the "Impure World Reincarnation Technique" through Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.

But Obito wasn't reassured; he needed to confirm it himself.

"First, a certain amount of physical body, or DNA, is needed from the person being imprisoned. Without this crucial medium, reincarnation cannot be achieved."

"Those whose souls are not in the Pure Land, that is, those whose souls are sealed in other places, cannot be reincarnated."

Orochimaru took out a piece of Shennong's flesh and blood that Obito had given him and placed it on the scroll's pattern.

The magic patterns, after coming into contact with flesh and blood, spread to one of the living sacrifices, guided by Orochimaru.

"This is the technique of 'Impure World Reincarnation'."

Obito watched this scene intently, his crimson three-tomoe Sharingan never stopping.

He might not be able to learn it on his own.

Using the Sharingan to copy such difficult ninjutsu would be much simpler.

The success rate of the "Impure World Reincarnation Technique" is not 100%, so he specially obtained two living sacrifices for this purpose.

Orochimaru then formed hand seals, creating the "巳" (snake) symbol.

Flakes of soil, like sheets of paper, surged out from the spell's patterns and continuously adhered to the living sacrifice.

The living sacrifice's eyes grew increasingly terrified, and it couldn't help but howl.

However, here, no one cares whether he lives or dies.

Even Hiruko, who was bickering with Orochimaru, watched all of this with great interest.

He was very interested in the technique that could resurrect the dead.

"All that's needed is to wait for the final step, using a living person as a vessel for the dead, and the so-called 'Impure World Reincarnation Technique' will be complete."

Orochimaru lowered his hand seals.

All eyes were on the living sacrifice, whose entire body was wrapped in mud and paper.

The next moment, the mud and paper scattered.

The frail sacrificial offering transformed into an incredibly robust figure, revealing the face of an unfamiliar middle-aged man.

"where is this place?"

Shennong's pupils contracted as he warily looked at the people around him.

His whites turned pitch black, and his pupils were incredibly crimson, like a ghoul from mythology.

"Long time no see, Shennong."

Orochimaru smiled.

"Orochimaru?"

Shennong recognized Orochimaru, but he still remained vigilant.

"I remember there's a way to control the consciousness of an Edo Tensei user, isn't there?"

Obito asked.

"Of course, as long as the corresponding talisman is placed in it, it can become an obedient pawn. The drawback is that it is not as powerful as the original pawn."

Orochimaru took out a kunai with a purple talisman hanging from the back.

"No... there's no need to control him."

After thinking for a while, Obito told Orochimaru to put down the talisman.

He also needs Shennong to collect "dark chakra" and doesn't have the extra energy to monitor it at all times.

"I'm dead, so what do you want?"

The conversation between Obito and Orochimaru also reached Shennong's ears.

His face grew increasingly gloomy.

"In a sense, we can be seen as an alliance to seek revenge against Uchiha Kiyoshi."

Hiruko smiled humorously.

Anti-Qing alliance?
Haha, you could say that everyone in this organization has a grudge against Uchiha Kiyoshi.

Sometimes Hiruko had to admire Uchiha Kiyoshi for managing to make so many enemies.

"interesting."

When Shennong heard Qing Si's name, a flash of hatred crossed his eyes.

The enemy of my enemy is my ally.

Having been resurrected by some unknown means, Shennong was not in a hurry to foolishly resist.

They seemed to think that he could control himself at any time, and Shennong wanted to seize the opportunity to take control.

It is time to lie low for now.

……

The training ground of the Uchiha settlement is a small forest not far from their homes, a place Itachi liked to train in.

This small forest is planted with some nice fir trees.

A wooden target was hanging on one of those cedar trees.

The target was about the size of a human head, with two black circles drawn on it.

The weasel stood alone in the quiet forest.

With kunai held between his fingers, three in each hand—this was his training for the day.

"call……"

He closed his eyes and focused his mind, slowly exhaling from deep within his abdomen, guiding the flow of chakra through his meridians.

He slowly squatted down, then suddenly pushed off the ground. His body flipped upside down instantly, head down and feet up. His arms, which had been crossed over his chest, suddenly stretched out to the sides.

Three beams of cold light shot out, attacking from three different directions.

The weasel landed lightly, and a crisp "crunch crunch" sound rang out all around.

Looking up, one can see that in the very center of each cedar tree's hanging target, a sharp kunai is firmly stuck.

"pretty."

The sudden sound behind him startled Itachi, who turned around breathlessly.

A black-haired boy stood there, his Konoha headband gleaming with a cold silver light, and he was clearly older than Itachi.

Although he did not know his name, Itachi vaguely remembered that this boy was also a member of the Uchiha clan.

"Whose child are you?"

the boy asked.

"My mother is Mikoto."

The weasel answered.

"Mikoto, a Jonin... No wonder."

As the boy spoke, he reached out his hand to Itachi.

"I am Uchiha Shisui."

"Itachi."

The name came out without hesitation.

Even he himself was somewhat surprised that he would so naturally tell the other party his name.

Shisui's overly familiar and friendly attitude left Itachi slightly confused.

Perhaps this confusion was written all over his face; Shisui shrugged and widened his eyes:
"I heard you're a peculiar child, not very talkative. I didn't expect you to be such a stubborn little fellow."

He looked at the weasel with great interest.

There are rumors in the clan that Itachi is Lord Seiji's child... If that's true, it makes sense that he started training at such a young age.

As the saying goes, "Like father, like son."

He was curious: if Itachi was indeed that person's child, would Itachi be different from the other members of the clan?
In Shisui's view, Kiyoshi was the first person to break through the "limits" of his abilities, after all, he became the first Hokage of the Uchiha clan.

Before this, the Uchiha clan longed to become Hokage, but no one had ever succeeded.

Even being targeted by successive Hokage, and the humiliation of having senior ninjas of the clan imprisoned.

"If there's nothing else, I..."

"Hey, don't rush off."

Before he could finish speaking, Shisui's smiling figure vanished!

Itachi's eyes sharpened, and he quickly followed the scent.

up in the air!
Just like the weasel from before, Shisui was suspended upside down in mid-air with his arms outstretched!
Eight beams of cold light tore through the air!

"Well!"

The weasel's pupils suddenly contracted.

"how?"

Zhi Shui landed steadily, a smile playing on his lips.

Next to the bullseye where the kunai that had previously held the weasel was now pierced, a new kunai was prominently displayed.

This is naturally the work of Zhi Shui.

“Actually, I have been observing you practicing here for quite some time now.”

Shisui slowly approached and extended his hand to Itachi again, "Be my friend."

He realized that Itachi was different from the other Uchiha.

Therefore, Shisui now believes about 70-80% of the claim that Itachi is Kiyoshi's illegitimate son.

Shisui wanted to observe Itachi to see if he could discern the thought process of that person.

According to the clan's ninjas, that person showed extraordinary talent from a young age.

Itachi was unaware of Shisui's thoughts.

The sound of still water echoed in his ears; the tone of still water was so natural that it seemed to have an invisible pull.

As if being pulled along, the eagle involuntarily extended its right hand.

A warm feeling enveloped his hand.

"Nice to meet you, Itachi."

Zhi Shui smiled brightly.

Itachi looked at him, a hint of surprise passing through his mind. He had actually accepted the advances of this ninja who liked to act familiar.

……

Hokage's office.

"Lord Kiyoshi, the rogue ninja Suiken from Takigakure has been found."

Suddenly, Uzuki Yugao appeared here, kneeling on one knee.

"Oh?"

Kiyoshi raised his eyes and looked at Uzuki Yugao.

"They brought them back to Konoha?"

"Yes, Might Guy, along with his son Might Guy, Genma Shiranui, and Ebisu, captured him and completed the mission."

"good."

Qingsi nodded in satisfaction.

His satisfaction has two levels.

The first layer is satisfaction with efficient work.

The arrest of Suien, a rogue ninja from Takigakure, was ordered by him personally. Suien, a Jonin, was no match for Might Guy and his group working together.

Suigan was the former master of the young leader of Takigakure, but he betrayed Takigakure and joined forces with Amegakure rogue ninja to invade the village and steal the "Hero's Water".

In the end, Suigan was killed by Sasuke and Naruto working together.

The hookah is essentially a favor, which will be beneficial to Qing Si's subsequent actions.

As for the second level of satisfaction...

That's Samui.

After Kiyoshi became Hokage, and the Raikage is still imprisoned in Konoha's prison, Satsuma and other Cloud Village ninjas have essentially surrendered to Kiyoshi.

There were some people in the sushi restaurant who were unwilling to serve the Hidden Cloud Village.

Kiyoshi didn't need to intervene; their superior, Samodo, had already taken these people to the Pure Land to seek refuge with the deceased Third Raikage and continue their loyalty.

Those who survived remained in the world to serve the Qing Dynasty.

Samui was right under the table at that moment.

She maintained the same kneeling posture as Uzuki Yugao, except that Uzuki Yugao knelt on one knee while she knelt on both knees.

The two women were separated only by a thin partition on a wooden table.

"I will set off for Takigaku Village the next day to keep an eye on the hookah."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

"Itsuki Yugao said respectfully."

While kneeling on one knee, the black trousers were taut, outlining her rounded thighs and buttocks.

next moment.

Her figure disappeared from the Hokage's office, as Kiyoshi had instructed, to notify the relevant ninjas.

This thought flashed through Uzuki Yugao's mind.

Her admiration for Kiyoshi grew even stronger.

Senior Kiyoshi was not only very kind-hearted, but also took good care of them.

He is always busy for the village, truly deserving of the title of Hokage.

With that thought, Uzuki Yugao moved with lightning speed, accelerating her "Body Instant Technique".

She wanted to carry out Qing Si's instructions as soon as possible, and then go back to keep watch over Qing Si in the shadows, waiting for further orders.

……

"The landscape is so beautiful, Samui, don't you think so too?"

Kiyoshi looked back at the bustling Konoha, where ninjas and civilians came and went in a peaceful and idyllic scene.

A ninja's body is only less likely to get sick than an ordinary person's, but that doesn't mean they won't get sick at all.

"you can go now."

Kiyoshi waved.

"Hero's Water" is also something worth studying, and it might even accelerate Kiyoshi's understanding of "Dragon's Reincarnation".

The price for using "Hero's Water" to enhance chakra is the corresponding sacrifice of life force.

The more you drink, the more life force it will consume from the user.

"Dragon's Rebirth" is also such a process, gradually reducing one's life force until finally dying completely.

"Yes."

Samui's cold and indifferent face remained expressionless. She stood up, bowed, and left.

"By the way, Atsui has been a Chunin for a while now, hasn't he?"

Qingji suddenly called out to Samyi.

Samui paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Genin who are promoted to Chunin can participate in the Chunin Exams, and those who pass the exams become Chunin.

Another option is selection and recruitment.

This requires investigation by the Konoha administration and final approval from the Hokage, which is quite troublesome.

The process of promoting from Chunin to Special Jonin, and from Special Jonin to Jonin, involves only selection and recruitment.

This inevitably leads to situations where seniority and time are prioritized.

Atsui is too young. Unless he waits until another war or makes some outstanding contribution, it won't be so easy for him to get rid of the title of Chunin.

"I see that this child is working very hard... so let's make an exception and recruit him as a special Jonin ahead of schedule."

Qingsi said calmly.

Yes, just as hardworking as Samui.

As the Hokage, he has to reward and punish.

They performed well, so giving them a proper reward wouldn't hurt.

"……Thanks."

Samui showed a hint of surprise.

She hadn't expected Kiyoshi to say that.

"Okay, let's go down."

Qingsi spoke.

"Yes."

Samui nodded.

She closed the door to the Hokage's office and walked down the corridor.

More than twenty minutes later.

Samui returned to the sushi restaurant.

When Atsui learned that he could be promoted to Special Jonin, he was overjoyed.

Samui quietly watched his younger brother Atsi's happy expression and suddenly felt that his hard work had not been in vain.

I'm sure my only family member, Atsi, will have a better and better life.

Samui thought to himself.

……

A few days later.

Kiyoshi led several ninjas to Takigakure.

The Land of Waterfall, where Takigakure is located, is situated at the border of the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth, possessing a unique geographical environment.

This area is dotted with dense forests and fertile land, but what is even more distinctive are the waterfalls that can be seen everywhere.

The mountains here often cascade down with waterfalls, flowing into rivers.

Takigakure Village is hidden behind one of the huge waterfalls.

"Your Hokage, welcome to our visit."

At the foot of the waterfall, a group of ninjas came to greet Kiyoshi and his companions.

"You must be Shibuki, the leader of Takigakure Village."

Qingsi spoke.

"So the Hokage knew me?"

Shibuki looked quite surprised on his youthful face.

He was clearly very young.

"He told me."

Kiyoshi gave the ninja next to him a look.
