Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Chapter 375 The Otherworldly Dimension Inside the Grim Reaper's Stomach
Yugito froze, immediately realizing that Kiyoshi had used a space-time ninjutsu to get behind her.

But now that her chakra is sealed, she can't use any of her ninjutsu, making her a lamb to the slaughter in front of Kiyoshi!

"Did you know that 'Wood Release' is a very convenient ability?"

Kiyoshi suddenly said.

Yuzuki didn't understand the meaning behind Kiyoshi's words, but she instinctively had a bad feeling.

The next moment, Kiyoshi pressed her hands behind her back.

Click.

"Of course, it's to extract information through torture."

"Didn't you already know what you wanted to know?"

Teakman's brows furrowed slightly.

Konoha has ninjas from the Yamanaka clan; if they really wanted to interrogate her, they could simply delve into her mind to extract information.

"Who knows if you have any secret techniques? Just in case, it's best to torture you a bit more."

Kiyoshi's lips curled slightly, and he added:
"Besides, your attitude towards me in the past wasn't exactly good, so it's not a big deal for me to do some calculations."

Kiyoshi quietly looked at the teak figure.

The two first met when Yugito led the Kumogakure forces to attack Kiyoshi, intending to take him back to Kumogakure.

If Kiyoshi had been taken back to Kumogakure during that period, his fate would have been obvious.

Snapped.

Kiyoshi snapped his fingers.

A string of black sealing symbols appeared on her face, slowly creeping up to her lips.

The teak man was horrified to discover that he could no longer speak.

"The Seal of Suppression of Speech."

Kiyoshi spoke calmly, without explaining to her what the cursed seal actually was.

This is a mantra seal created by Kiyoshi based on the inspiration of Shimura Danzo's "Seal for Eradicating the Root of Tongue Calamity".

Any ninja who has the "Seal of the Root of Tongue Disaster" planted will become paralyzed throughout their body whenever they try to speak about a specific matter, rendering them unable to speak or move.

Danzo Shimura placed this cursed seal on the tongues of all the ninjas belonging to "Root" to bind his subordinates and prevent them from revealing his secrets.

These curse marks will only disappear after his death.

The "Seal of Abstinence from Words" that Kiyoshi imitated did not last long, only a few hours.

However, the triggering conditions are not so strict; there is no need to plant them specifically, you only need to touch Kiyoshi.

Kiyoshi planted this curse mark on the Yuzuki Doll the moment he teleported in.

Appropriately depriving prisoners of their right to speak will increase their sense of humiliation and helplessness.

This is a technique used in Konoha's Torture Department.

"Woo!"

The teakman opened its mouth wide, and black runes appeared on its bright red tongue.

She realized that she could only produce some indistinct syllables.

The power of the cursed seal is binding her!
"Shh, if you make too much noise, you might disturb your Raikage's rest."

Kiyoshi made a shushing gesture.

Of course, the soundproofing here is excellent, so the sound won't actually reach the Fourth Raikage.

"Woooooo~!"

As Kiyoshi drew ever closer, Yuzuki struggled to free his hands from the wooden shackles behind his back.

However, no matter how hard she tried, even if she wore red marks on her wrists, she could not get rid of the wooden shackles.

Kiyoshi's current "Wood" Release technique is three times stronger than before.

This is something that Yugito, whose chakra is currently sealed, cannot withstand.

As Kiyoshi approached him step by step, Yuzuki felt a surge of panic.

Her skin throbbed, and the unbearable memories became clearer.

Struggling is futile.

From the day he was imprisoned, the Teakman was destined to meet his end.

This is the reckoning for aiding and abetting evil, becoming an accomplice to the invaders.

It is also the best solace for those innocent people who died in the Land of Fire.

Kiyoshi grabbed Yugito's long golden hair and pulled her to his side.

The Yuzuki Man, in pain, was powerless to resist Kiyoshi's strength.

"Your sinful body needs baptism."

Kiyoshi's palm emanated the chakra of the cursed seal.

Five black dots of light flickered from the five fingertips, appearing particularly profound in the darkness.

laugh!
The chakra of the cursed seal was directly poured into the abdomen below the navel of the Yugito, forming black characters.

The excruciating pain from bearing the cursed seal caused the teakman to turn pale and tremble uncontrollably.

"Can't you bear it anymore?"

The flame that had been burning at Kiyoshi's fingertips gradually faded away.

Auspicious clouds of cursed seals spread continuously across the teak figure, like burning flames.

When the flames solidify, they leave behind black streaks.

This is the state when the curse seal is activated.

Kiyoshi has already reduced the risk of death from the cursed seal to a very low level, and with Yukito's body as a Jinchūriki, failure is virtually impossible.

"Woooo...!"

The teak doll collapsed to the ground. After regaining some strength, she glared at Kiyoshi from bottom to top.

Kiyoshi couldn't hear what she was saying.

However, the meaning behind it is easy to guess.

It's nothing more than accusing Kiyoshi of leaving something on her body, and saying that he'll definitely take revenge once she gets out...

"Don't look at me like that, like a victim. Don't you know how many ninjas and ordinary people from the Land of Fire have died in the war?"

Kiyoshi slowly began to psychically summon the "One-Horned Giant..."

With the help of the summoning beast, we can quickly extract the information from the teak man.

Discern whether there is any embellishment in her words, and then extract that embellishment to reveal her most authentic words.

This is Konoha's...way of torture.

Kiyoshi has now mastered the essence of torture. If he weren't already Hokage, he would be qualified to work in Konoha's torture department.

"Alright, hurry up and atone for your sins, then tell me all the information."

"Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be treated severely. Things won't just end like this."

Kiyoshi's voice turned cold and seductive.

The teak man trembled all over in pain, but stubbornly refused to utter a single word.

Upon seeing this, the Qing officials intensified their interrogation.

The sounds of torture and screams could be heard continuously from inside the room.

……

Not far away is the Fourth Raikage's cell.

He was emaciated, and his dark skin had become almost as dark as coal.

"Is the teakman being tortured?"

He was a master of ninjutsu and was extremely sensitive to his surroundings.

Even though his chakra was sealed, he could still sense subtle changes.

The Fourth Raikage could vaguely hear some... wails?
He twitched his ears, trying to hear more clearly.

But in his current weakened state, he simply didn't have the energy.

"call……"

The Fourth Raikage took a breath.

He could only force himself not to think about what happened to the teak man.

His comrades were being brutally tortured, and as the Raikage of Kumogakure, he was unable to protect them.

What a pathetic sight!
"By the way, how is the village?"

The Fourth Raikage thought of the village.

He hasn't returned to Kumogakure for a long time, so it's estimated that Kumogakure has already chosen a substitute Raikage, or perhaps the Fifth Raikage.

If so, would the Fifth Raikage be Killer Bee?
At the same time, he was pleased to think that there were still many promising talents in Yunyin, such as Darui.

Darui is the sole inheritor of the Third Raikage's Black Lightning Release and can use the Bloodline Limit "Storm Release".

The Fourth Raikage didn't know how Kiyoshi obtained his Black Lightning Release; in his mind, only his father, the Third Raikage's Black Lightning Release, was the authentic one.

"Heh heh, Konoha, heh heh, Uchiha Kiyoshi, this isn't over yet."

The Fourth Raikage thought to himself.

Even without him, Kumogakure will continue to grow stronger.

A village like Konoha, with its sharp internal conflicts among ninja clans, is bound to face internal strife sooner or later!
……

Xiao organization.

Inside a dark laboratory.

The glass jar contained many figures, and at that moment, many bubbles were rising from it.

"The 'Dark Chakra' and Hiruko's 'Demon Sprout Technique' have now combined."

Orochimaru's eyes flashed with interest.

Beside him were Shennong, Hiruko, and Obito.

They were observing the experimental subject, White Zetsu, who was soaking in a life support tank.

Not long after, White Zetsu, who was soaking in the water, suddenly opened his eyes.

Click.

The glass shattered, and the solution inside spilled out.

"This is 'Dark Chakra'?"

Obito frowned slightly beneath his mask as he looked at the burly Shennong ahead.

Bai Jue's pale body turned somewhat black, and he looked much more listless.

The humanoid body had undergone numerous deformities, making it look like a monster.

"Dark Chakra differs from ordinary chakra; it requires a mixture of spiritual and physical energy, and it demands negative emotions from the mind."

Shennong explained to Daitu.

In other words, the stronger the darkness in one's heart, the stronger the "dark chakra" will be.

"Once I summon 'Zero-Tail,' I can also absorb the negative emotions of other people."

Shennong paused for a moment and then continued.

Logically, using "Dark Chakra" should enhance a ninja's strength.

However, for some reason, these White Zetsu did not have much negative emotion, so they could not unleash the power of "Dark Chakra".

"Furthermore, Hiruko's 'Oni-Garra Technique' has inspired me considerably, and I can now store more 'Dark Chakra' than before."

Shennong continued.

The "Dark Chakra" he now possesses can be considered an upgraded version of the previous one, with the only drawback being that it causes a certain degree of distortion in the caster.

"very good."

Obito nodded in satisfaction.

A large amount of chakra is needed to fully charge the "Limited Tsukuyomi," and these White Zetsu can serve as a transfer station for collecting "Dark Chakra."

At that time, all of it will be poured into the crystal ball that serves as the carrier.

Once completed, you can pull Uchiha Kiyoshi into that world.

The brilliance emanating from "Limited Tsukuyomi" is said to be just as unavoidable as that of the true "Infinite Tsukuyomi".

Obito didn't believe that Kiyoshi could find a way out.

……

While Obito and his companions were doing everything they could to increase their strength, they were trying to break free from the darkness shrouded by Kiyoshi.

The depths of the teakman's eyes were dark, so dark they were almost dripping with water.

An indescribable sorrow welled up within her.

However, what lies deeper is a sense of helplessness and confusion.

Is she really an intruder?

The words that Kiyoshi had repeatedly emphasized echoed in her mind, cold and clear.

She also knew that it was the ninjas of Kumogakure who first set foot on the land of fire's territory, and that it was her own people who started the war.

At this moment, the belief that had been held firm for many years suddenly cracked.

The lines between right and wrong have become blurred, and the positions we once firmly believed in are now shaky in the face of facts.

"..."

The teak figure stared at the ceiling. ...

evening.

A lively celebration is being held in Konoha.

The theme of this celebration is to commemorate post-war peace.

At this moment, Kiyoshi was sitting in the Hokage chair, resting his chin on one hand, looking at the scenery below.

He had just been released from the Konoha prison.

After a while, a figure appeared in the Hokage's office.

The ninja had silver hair and wore a fox mask.

"Hokage-sama."

Kakashi said.

"Kakashi, you've arrived."

Kiyoshi then turned around and looked at Kakashi.

"Yes."

Kakashi nodded.

"Put down what you're doing now, I have an even more important task for you."

Kiyoshi said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Kakashi's expression behind his mask became more serious as he waited for Kiyoshi to reveal the mission's objective.

"Kushina is due to give birth in a few months. This is top secret, and you cannot reveal it to anyone. I need you to serve as her bodyguard during this time."

Qingsi spoke.

In the original work, these words were spoken by Minato Namikaze to Kakashi.

Now it's Kiyoshi speaking to Kakashi.

The fact that Obito overheard Kushina's pregnancy and then launched the "Nine-Tails' Rebellion" was, according to Obito himself, a coincidence, an impromptu act.

But why did Obito happen to be there, and why did he happen to hear Kakashi's mutterings?

Kiyoshi believes that Black Zetsu played a significant role in this.

When the Sage of Six Paths was alive, Black Zetsu was able to subtly manipulate Indra right under his nose, inciting the two to fight each other.

For Black Zetsu, finding out information about Kushina was not difficult.

If he didn't even have this much ability, he wouldn't have been able to plot behind the scenes for thousands of years and remain undiscovered by the Sage of Six Paths.

Kiyoshi knew about Black Zetsu's existence mainly because he was familiar with the plot and already knew the inside story.

Therefore, it's not necessarily naive of Madara Uchiha to be able to be bewitched by Black Zetsu.

Who would have thought that the Ten-Tails that appeared after the nine tailed beasts gathered was actually Kaguya's true form?
Black Zetsu endured for a thousand years, all for the sake of resurrecting his mother?
Therefore, the Qing court decided to use entrapment to enforce the law.

Kiyoshi couldn't possibly let Kushina die the way she did in the original story.

Then wouldn't he have served as Hokage for nothing?

He wanted to see how the Akatsuki organization had grown during this period and see if he could get some keywords related to it.

Having suffered many losses at his hands, Obito would inevitably bring his companions with him if he came to Konoha to cause trouble again.

"Kushina is pregnant..."

Kakashi realized that there was astonishing information hidden in Kiyoshi's words.

This raises a sensitive issue.

Who is the child's father?
Is it Minato-sensei?
But he hadn't heard Minato mention this before.

As for Kiyoshi, Kakashi was the first to rule him out.

The ninja community is actually quite conservative, and they only interact with each other among their peers.

Kiyoshi and Kushina were from different generations, which Kakashi considered unlikely.

"I will definitely complete the mission successfully."

Kakashi made a promise.

"Okay, let's go down first."

Kiyoshi waved.

There's a high probability that Kakashi will visit Obito's grave, just like in the original story, and eventually reveal this information.

If not, and Black Zetsu didn't cause any trouble, then let's just leave it at that.

Kiyoshi's move was merely a precautionary measure.

……

Several hours later, Kiyoshi found Kushina.

Kakashi, meanwhile, remained hidden in the shadows, responsible for protecting Kushina and sensing whether there were any abnormalities in her chakra.

"Kiyoshi, what brings you here?"

Kushina, who was still taking a nap, opened her eyes and looked at Kiyoshi with sleepy eyes.

She was wearing loose white loungewear, and at first glance, she didn't look like a pregnant woman at all.

Instead, she is a beautiful young woman in the prime of her life.

"I've come to ask you about the 'Dead Demon Sealing Technique'."

Kiyoshi said.

"Reaper Death Seal" is undoubtedly an S-rank sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan. Orochimaru, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Minato Namikaze all demonstrated the use of this sealing technique in the original work.

The Shinigami Mask, which is required for "Reaper Death Seal Release," is located in the Uzumaki clan's Namendo.

"!"

Kushina was so shocked that she lost all sleepiness.

She rushed to Qing Si and touched his forehead with her hand, trying to see if he was delirious from a fever.

Kiyoshi grasped Kushina's pale wrist and said with a gentle smile:
"I know the cost of using this technique."

"Then you still want to learn."

Kushina was puzzled.

While "Dead Demon Sealing Technique" is an extremely powerful sealing technique, it also comes at a very high price.

The caster's soul must be sold to Death, meaning that after devouring the target's soul, the caster's soul will also be devoured by Death.

Afterwards, the souls of the caster and the victim will forever hate and fight each other inside the belly of Death.

Most importantly, being trapped in the belly of death forever is a method that inflicts eight hundred damages on the enemy while losing a thousand of your own.

"I need to summon Death."

Kiyoshi said.

His words only confused Kushina more.

She brushed a strand of red hair that had fallen across her face and looked at Kiyoshi with her beautiful, flawless face, as if she wanted to know what Kiyoshi was thinking.

"Why summon Death?"

Kushina asked.

"I need to sense the coordinates of another dimension."

Qingsi spoke.

The ninja world possesses various other dimensions.

Death must also have a separate space to store those souls, but in people's eyes, it's as if they've been eaten by Death, so it's called Death's stomach.

With only one tailed beast left to attempt planting the Divine Tree, Kiyoshi now naturally needs to consider the location where the Divine Tree will be planted.

The sacred tree draws natural energy from the earth and atmosphere, as well as from surrounding life forms.

The commotion it caused was so great that it might attract the attention of Isshiki Otsutsuki.

Another dimension is the best place to plant the divine tree.

Without sufficient means, it would be impossible to discover the location of the sacred tree.

As for the energy used to nourish the divine tree, Kiyoshi believed that those souls were the best nourishment.

"Dead Demon Seal" only summons the Grim Reaper; it does not mean that the Grim Reaper will not normally devour souls.

Kiyoshi speculates that the alternate dimension where the Grim Reaper resides and the Pure Land are likely two different places.

Judging from the fact that the Sage of Six Paths could summon the Hokage of each generation from the Pure Land without any medium, the Pure Land and the Sage of Six Paths are closely related.

"That's...ok."

Unable to refuse Kiyoshi's request, Kushina had no choice but to agree, and repeatedly warned Kiyoshi not to use this sealing technique against the enemy.

Kiyoshi naturally nodded in agreement with Kushina.

If he can't defeat an enemy, he'll choose to run away. Why would he resort to a suicide attack?
Moreover, there are very few people in the current ninja world who can defeat him.

In the following days, Kiyoshi stayed with Kushina and learned the "Shiki Fujutsu" technique.

Immediately after learning the technique, Kiyoshi went to the outskirts of the Grass Country experimental base.

He was also carrying a death row inmate in his hand.

This is the head of a criminal organization that roams the Land of Fire. He commits all sorts of crimes and has a peculiar fetish, having raped and murdered more than a dozen seventy-year-old women.

In the vast land of fire, there are all sorts of criminals.

Never underestimate the depths of human depravity or the evil within humanity.

"Please, spare me, ninja master."

The death row inmate was unaware of Qing Si's identity and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy after being released.

"That won't work."

Kiyoshi smiled slightly and placed a gourd and a death mask on the ground.

Today happens to be the day this death row inmate is to be executed.

Kiyoshi simply changed the way he died, which can be considered as him shining brightly for the Land of Fire in the end during his life of evil deeds.

“Look me in the eyes.”

A red glint flashed in Kiyoshi's eyes as his invisible pupil power invaded the death row inmate's body.

Then Kiyoshi made him drink a mouthful of the "Hero's Water" from the gourd!
boom!
A blue vortex of chakra emerged from the condemned prisoner's body, a sign of a significant increase in chakra.

But within minutes, he would start to have difficulty even breathing.

This is the price of "Hero's Water".

Kiyoshi seized the opportunity and once again forced the death row inmate to wear the Grim Reaper mask he had taken from the Uzumaki clan's Namendo.

He certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to take the risk himself.

The Sharingan can manipulate others through genjutsu, and Kiyoshi's Sharingan can also see through the flow of other people's chakra, allowing him to control the recipient to release the techniques he wants to use.

“巳-亥-未……巳”

The death row inmate's empty-eyed hand seals.

Finally, under Kiyoshi's control, he clasped his hands together in prayer.

Snapped!
The corpses are sealed away!

A chilling aura filled the air, and a grim reaper with a full head of white hair and wearing a white robe appeared in mid-air.

His skin was entirely purple, he had a mouthful of fangs, and two horns on his head.

Upon seeing this, Kiyoshi immediately focused his attention on sensing the place where the Grim Reaper had emerged.

With the help of this entry, Kiyoshi gained the ability to perceive other dimensions.

After Death appeared, it stood silently in place for a moment.

Because the caster did not specify a target for it.

Although it is called the Grim Reaper, it is more like a pre-programmed program.

But Kiyoshi could tell that the aura of the death row inmates was constantly weakening with each passing second.

This is not only a side effect of "Hero's Water", but also a side effect of using "Dead Demon Seal".

He would die on the spot in ten minutes at most.

However, the prison is full of all kinds of evil and vicious death row inmates, so Qing Si is not flustered.

At worst, we can just replace the death row inmate with another one.

"I sensed... the feeling of another dimension."

Kiyoshi sensed a hazy area, a place that was completely dark and devoid of light.

Opening his eyes, Kiyoshi imprinted the mark of "Flying Thunder God Technique" onto the Shinigami's body.

After constantly optimizing and perfecting the "Flying Thunder God Technique," Kiyoshi was able to imprint marks on flowing electric arcs long ago.

It's not difficult to imprint it on the Grim Reaper these days.

After doing all this, Kiyoshi controlled the death row inmates to cancel the "Dead Demon Sealing Technique".

puff.

The death row inmate fell to the ground, lifeless.

Bang.

Kiyoshi formed hand seals and created a puppet clone. After marking the puppet clone with a signal for summoning spirits, he ordered it to use the "Flying Thunder God Technique" to follow the vanished Shinigami into another dimension.

Kiyoshi stood still, and soon began to use a summoning technique.
