Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

"Being Hokage is a really busy job."

Nohara Mio murmured quietly.

Even so, becoming Hokage is the wish of the vast majority of ninjas in Konoha.

This is more of a symbol of honor.

Wherever the leaves dance, the fire will never go out.

Naruto is undoubtedly the most blazing fire.

"Mio wants to see me?"

Suddenly, a sound came from behind.

The newcomer was wearing a traditional high-necked robe of the Uchiha clan, with a flame fan representing the Uchiha clan tattooed on his back.

"Brother Qing Si."

Nohara Mio looked delighted and stretched out her hand, wanting Kiyoshi to hug her.

"She was so happy to see you."

Nohara Rin was surprised to see Kiyoshi appear, and then immediately let go of her other hand.

Seiji hugged Nohara Mio.

Nohara Mio was petite, so Kiyoshi gently picked her up.

His physique was constantly being tempered by the lightning release within his body, and with the subtle influence of the "Perfect Sage Mode," Kiyoshi's strength was still on the rise.

Kiyoshi didn't know to what extent his strength would accumulate when he used "superhuman strength".

For Kiyoshi, hand-to-hand combat with tailed beasts was already a piece of cake.

While his chakra reserves might not be as high as the complete Nine-Tails, his physical strength was sufficient for pure hand-to-hand combat.

Given time, even if Kiyoshi is at the epicenter of the "Tailed Beast Ball" explosion, he might not be harmed.

Of course, this is only one aspect of Kiyoshi's physical condition.

He possesses numerous escape techniques and bloodline limits, giving him a wide range of combat methods, enabling him to cope with almost any extreme environment.

This dual approach of internal and external cultivation has enabled Qing Si to continuously advance towards a hexagonal shape.

"candy."

Kiyoshi magically produced a piece of candy and gave it to Nohara Mio.

People in the ninja world generally have their own likes and dislikes. For example, Rin Nohara in the official guidebook likes to eat strawberries but dislikes boiled seafood.

Kushina likes salty ramen, but dislikes tomatoes and other bitter things like coffee.

Nohara Mio's tastes are similar to Nohara Rin's; she also likes sweet things.

Kiyoshi gave him a piece of strawberry candy.

"Thank you, Kiyoshi-nii."

Nohara Mio's eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

This scene also caught Obito's eye.

He almost lost control of the chakra flow from the "Transformation Technique," revealing his true form.

Nohara Lin noticed this.

Having experienced the Third Shinobi World War, she possesses a certain level of ninja vigilance and intuition.

Nohara Rin tugged at Kiyoshi's sleeve and gave him a look, indicating that someone had been watching them.

Now that Kiyoshi is about to undergo his succession ceremony, spies from other ninja villages may be deployed during this period.

Or perhaps it's a hidden power struggle within Konoha, with forces probing Kiyoshi's situation.

Kiyoshi gave Nohara Rin a smile, indicating that there was no need to rush.

He carried Nohara Mio straight toward the man Obito was disguised as.

"Hello, what's the matter?"

Kiyoshi pretended not to recognize Obito.

In reality, Obito's clumsy "transformation technique" was immediately seen through by Kiyoshi.

Obito's training in "ninjutsu" was clearly inferior to Kiyoshi's.

Although his ninjutsu talent was not bad, it was still far inferior to Kiyoshi's.

"I...I thought this little girl was quite cute, so I took a second look."

Seeing Kiyoshi approaching and the wariness in Rin Nohara's eyes, Obito tried his best to remain calm.

"Really? I also think Mio is very cute."

Qingsi smiled.

Obito would actually return to Konoha every now and then. His "Kamui" allowed him to sneak into Konoha undetected, without being discovered by the barrier or the patrolling ninjas.

Rin Nohara, Obito actually secretly went back to see her a few times.

Kiyoshi also knew that Obito was gathering intelligence right under his nose.

That's just right.

Obito believed he was in the shadows while Kiyoshi was in the light.

In reality, he was the one in the open, while Kiyoshi remained hidden in the shadows.

By tracking Obito's movements, we can determine the extent to which his plan has progressed.

"Is Mio really that cute?"

Nohara Mio asked curiously, her tone still somewhat childish.

"of course."

Qingsi nodded.

Nohara Mio is, after all, a clone of Nohara Rin. Although she only shares about 60-70% similarity with Rin, the remaining few parts are due to her innocent and naive nature.

In other words, Nohara Mio looks more innocent and pure than Nohara Rin.

“What this gentleman says is true.”

Obito nodded, so nervous that he forgot Kiyoshi's current identity.

Kiyoshi, who successfully ran for Hokage, is already a household name even before participating in the inauguration ceremony.

Outsiders, he is respectfully addressed as the Fourth Hokage, the Hokage, or Kiyoshi.

This is also true for visitors from outside Konoha.

However, Kiyoshi did not expose the loopholes in Obito's words.

"Beautiful things will always be noticed by observant eyes."

Kiyoshi continued speaking.

Obito casually agreed, then stared intently at Nohara Mio.

It hurts...it really hurts so much!
The pain of that day surged in Obito's heart.

Because Nohara Mio is so much like Nohara Rin who was never corrupted.

As Obito spoke, he kept a close eye on Rin Nohara's daughter.

Nohara Rin watched this scene with a puzzled look, realizing that the man's admiration for Nohara Mio was genuine.

Could it be that he was attracted to Mio?

Nohara Rin pondered to herself.

No matter how she thought about it, she never imagined that the person in front of her was her comrade-in-arms who died many years ago, Uchiha Obito.

For the living, the dead only appear in memories as time goes by.

It naturally has a blurred filter on it.

A genius like Minato Namikaze is someone no one can see or enter.

Regarding this, Minato Namikaze even apologized to Obito with a heavy heart during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

He genuinely hoped that Obito could become Hokage, felt sorry for Obito, and didn't mind that Obito was the direct culprit who killed him and the source of his family's destruction.

Kind-hearted Minato Namikaze and Naruto both chose to forgive Obito, as for their closest friend Kushina.

The Fourth Shinobi World War was a taboo topic, and no one discussed whether Kushina would forgive Obito.

Obito even mocked Naruto, asking, "What day is tomorrow?"

That was the day Obito killed Naruto's parents.

Naruto's answer was a clever one: "That's also the day I was born."

"If there's nothing else, we'll be going now."

Kiyoshi carried Nohara Mio away, and Nohara Rin quickly followed.

Obito stood there, his mouth opening and closing several times, wanting to spend more time with Nohara Mio, but he realized he had no reason to keep them.

Unwilling to give up, Obito followed the three.

"Obito, do you know what you're doing?"

Afei asked in surprise.

Obito should be mired in darkness.

Now it seems he has found a glimmer of hope?
But wasn't the birth of this light somewhat tortuous?

Afei found that he could understand these humans' thoughts and ideas less and less.

In comparison, he was more curious about what people think about feces.

"Obito, how do you feel when you think about not being able to poop like them anymore?"

Ah Fei, who speaks his mind without hesitation, asked the question directly.

"Shut up!"

Obito cursed in a low voice.

While these White Zetsu are loyal, their biggest flaw is their tendency to contradict their masters.

When Madara Uchiha was alive, these White Zetsu often said things that made Madara both laugh and cry.

Unlike humans, these white Zetsu are too naive and lack a lot of emotion, making them seem heartless.

"I was just asking out of curiosity..."

"Even curiosity is not allowed." Obito stopped the conversation.

He had no interest in arguing with Ah Fei right now.

All Obito knew was that his empty heart seemed about to beat again.

Is there such reality in this false hell?
What would happen if he brought Nohara Mio back to the Akatsuki organization for training?

Obito's heart couldn't help but burn with fervor.

……

"Ichiraku Ramen seems to be having some kind of event."

Nohara Lin said.

"Go and see."

Qingsi nodded.

Ichiraku Ramen may not be the most upscale restaurant in Konoha, but when it comes to ramen-making skills, it can only be described as unparalleled.

There's a reason why the franchise has expanded from Shippuden to Boruto and kept growing.

"Mio wants to eat ramen too."

Nohara Mio, with candy stuffed in her mouth, spoke indistinctly.

The three of them went to the ramen shop one after another.

After ordering three bowls of ramen from Teiji, Kiyoshi sat down to wait.

Qingsi would occasionally come here to satisfy his cravings.

"Be careful because it's hot."

After the ramen was ready, Nohara Rin asked Nohara Mio with concern.

Kiyoshi turned his head to look at Nohara Rin.

Rin Nohara is increasingly exuding the charm of a married woman.

Her figure has become much fuller, and her heart is more than twice as broad as before.

All of this is inseparable from Qing Si's diligent efforts.

Kiyoshi and Nohara Rin ate very quickly, while Onohara Mio ate the slowest.

"Mio, you eat here first, we'll go buy some candy."

"Qing Si suddenly said."

Seeing Nohara Rin's puzzled expression, Kiyoshi turned his head away.

He breathed into Rin's earlobe as if whispering a secret.

Nohara Rin's face instantly flushed.

Her eyes shimmered with tears as she realized what Kiyoshi was about to do.

"Be a good girl and wait here, Mio."

Nohara Rin patted Nohara Mio's head.

This area is located on the busiest street in Konoha. The Anbu and the Uchiha from the Konoha Police Department patrol here, and they will immediately take action to resolve any security issues.

Nohara Mio hummed in agreement.

Then Nohara Rin caught up with Kiyoshi, who had already gone out.

As she looked back on the past, Nohara Rin took a deep breath.

Her breathing had become heavy.

After doing something, the body often develops an instinctive response.

That is, to start adapting in advance.

Rin Nohara is about to activate her Water Release defensive technique.

She pursed her supple lips, quickly caught up with Qing Si, and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

"Come to my house?"

Nohara Lin asked.

The two walked into a deserted alley.

"I set up a sealing barrier, so no one can get in and no one can see it."

Qingsi smiled slightly.

Sealing techniques and barriers are inextricably linked; the better one's mastery of sealing techniques, the better one's barrier will be.

In addition to learning about the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan from Kushina, Kiyoshi also learned a lot about the Uzumaki clan's barriers.

"Well……"

Soon, voices unknown to anyone could be heard in the alleyway covered by the barrier.

Occasionally, passersby would be guided in other directions by the barrier.

This is the barrier.

If one's skill in this area is not as high as that of the spellcaster, it is almost impossible to break the spell unless one relies on brute force.

Kiyoshi also incorporated the Sharingan's power into it, enhancing its stealth capabilities.

To get this far, one needs to be stronger than Kiyoshi in genjutsu, eye power, and chakra.

Therefore, Kiyoshi was very reassured.

But Nohara Rin was different.

Nervous, she used her ninjutsu much faster than usual.

……

The opportunity is coming!

Obito pretended to be hungry as well and walked into Ichiraku Ramen.

I casually ordered a bowl of ramen from the owner and glanced at Nohara Mio, who was taking small bites of her ramen.

Why are you all alone here?

Obito started the conversation.

"They went to buy candy."

Nohara Mio-michi.

She didn't seem afraid of strangers.

"Yeah."

Obito forced a smile.

Shall we go buy some candy?
Obito's intuition told him that this matter was not simple.

But he doesn't want to think about Uchiha Kiyoshi right now.

He could feel the emptiness in his heart.

With each beat, something inexplicable fills it.

Nohara Mio's image was reflected in Obito's eyes.

This beautiful feeling filled his heart.

On several occasions, Obito had the urge to take Nohara Mio away directly.

But he could sense a massive amount of chakra nearby.

That chakra disgusted him; it was Kiyoshi's chakra.

Obito was unsure whether Kiyoshi had left the "Flying Thunder God Technique" mark on Nohara Mio.

If a mark is left behind, even if it is taken away, it will be taken away by Kiyoshi.

They even went so far as to trace Xiao's lair and deliver a fatal blow to him.

Obito suppressed this impulse.

He planned to go back and ask Black Zetsu if Madara Uchiha had left behind any technique that could erase the "Flying Thunder God Mark".

Through years of intelligence observation of Kiyoshi, Obito also learned that the mark of the "Flying Thunder God Technique" could exist for a long time and was difficult to erase by ordinary means.

As for how long it could last, Obito didn't know.

Madara said that Black Zetsu was a creation of his will, so he should also know about Tobirama Senju.

The "Flying Thunder God Technique" is a forbidden technique of the Second Hokage, who was also a figure from Madara's era.

Time passed slowly, and in order to spend more time with Nohara Mio, he even ate three bowls of noodles.

"Mio."

Rin Nohara's voice came from the street.

Obito was startled, knowing that the time had come.

After paying the bill, he left with his head down.

"You are back."

Nohara Mio turned her head.

"These are candies I bought."

Nohara Rin spoke, with some candy in her fair palm.

Mio Nohara happily took out the candy, only to notice that Rin Nohara's palms were sweaty.

Is it too hot outside?

Nohara Mio looked up at Nohara Rin and noticed that she also had sweat on her forehead.

A few strands of black hair clung to her face, adding a touch of messiness.

"Let's go."

Kiyoshi ruffled Nohara Mio's hair and turned to look at Obito, who had blended into the crowd.

Alright, what will Obito choose?

Kiyoshi smiled slightly. (End of Chapter)
