Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

"I'm always here."

Yakushi Nonou smiled nonchalantly, thinking to herself that Yakushi Kabuto still had a childlike heart.

Then, Pharmacist Nonou summoned the old caregiver and the fat nun, who were two long-time employees of the orphanage.

She asked the two of them to prepare extra food for the evening to welcome Kiyoshi's arrival.

The plump nun looked troubled. She knew that Qing Si was of noble status and the director's favorite student, but the orphanage's finances simply could not support such extravagance.

Pharmacist Nono noticed the fat nun's concerns and understood that she was worried about the orphanage.

So he explained:
"Qingsi has already provided financial support to the orphanage, so we should also be the hosts."

She explained to the plump nun and the old caregiver that Qing Si had tripled its funds.

The plump nun and the old caregiver were surprised, and then hurriedly went to do as the director instructed.

With the relief of Qing Si's financial situation, the orphanage no longer had to live such a tight life.

"three times……"

Kabuto also heard what Nono said, and he mentally calculated how much money was in there.

"The dean should have an easier time now."

"I think to myself," Yakushi Kabuto thought.

He looked up at Yakushi Nonou again.

Yakushi Nonou had a slight blush on her face, as if she had been drinking.

If the Pharmacist Nonou is usually a pure and holy nun, then her every move now exudes a womanly charm.

"Speaking of which, the dean is getting older, but he doesn't seem to be getting any older at all."

"Uruxi exclaimed."

If you didn't know Yakushi Nonou, you would think she was very young.

Soon, night falls.

Kiyoshi ate with everyone, so the children had a very plentiful dinner tonight.

Laughter and cheerful voices could be heard from time to time.

Yakushi Nonou looked at everyone, but sighed inwardly.

This was the beautiful scene she had been hoping for, seeing all the children with innocent smiles.

However, the child who was once innocent is no longer so.

Yakushi Nonou always felt that she had held Kiyoshi back.

She wondered if she had taken Kiyoshi's virginity.
Yakushi Nonou's mind was in turmoil.

After dinner, Kiyoshi and the others stayed overnight at the orphanage.

Early the next morning, Kiyoshi took the two women to Iwagakure Village.

……

Sunlight filters through the leaves on Konoha Street.

Kushina followed behind Sarutobi Biwako with light steps.

As Kushina was about to become a mother, she was very curious about what the child in her womb would be like.

"It's time to move."

Sarutobi Biwako urged him on in a serious tone.

She glanced back at Kushina.

The Uzumaki clan members are always so full of energy, just like the Mito-sama she met back then.

"I know."

Kushina nodded.

She unconsciously touched her belly, her face glowing with maternal love.

"Hey, Mikoto!"

Kushina followed Sarutobi Biwako for a while and then ran into Mikoto.

"Kushina."

Mikoto stopped in her tracks upon hearing the sound, turned to look at Kushina, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes before turning into a gentle smile.

At this moment, Mikoto was carrying an ordinary cloth bag on her shoulder and wearing simple black clothes that concealed her voluptuous figure.

She was holding a baby in her arms. The baby's face was chubby, with the roundness and tenderness of a newborn.

Is it a girl?

Kushina always felt that this child was as beautiful as a woman, and that she could tell that he would definitely have a remarkable appearance in the future.

Looking at Mikoto, who had already given birth to two children, Kushina was very curious about what it was like to be a mother.

"No, it's a boy."

Mikoto shook her head.

Sasuke doesn't have the precocious nasolabial folds on Itachi's face, making him arguably even cuter than Itachi.

Of course, Itachi's appearance is also quite good.

Mikoto considers these situations to be normal.

After all, they all inherited Kiyoshi's excellent bloodline. The inheritance of talent is one aspect, but so is appearance.

"It's a boy."

Kushina was slightly surprised, not expecting it to be a boy.

"It matches the name Sasuke very well."

Kushina spoke.

She originally wanted to visit Mikoto when she gave birth to her second child, but due to some matters at the time, and since it happened to be the periodic check-up day for the seal, she was unable to go.

"of course."

Mikoto nodded.

The name Sasuke is a good fit for a boy. If the baby in her womb is a girl, she will probably be named Sako.

Mikoto had a feeling that Kiyoshi would name her that way.

"Sasuke..."

Sarutobi Biwako's face showed little emotion; she was a rigid woman.

Her husband, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was the father of Sarutobi Sasuke.

The name Uchiha Sasuke happens to be the same as Sarutobi Sasuke.

However, Sasuke is a name used by many people in the ninja world, so it's not a particularly rare combination.

So Sarutobi Biwako didn't think much of it.

"Kushina...you'd better think of a name a while in advance."

Mikoto's gaze couldn't help but fall on Kushina's abdomen.

Even without activating her Sharingan, Mikoto possesses exceptional insight in her normal state.

Kushina's slightly protruding belly was extremely conspicuous in her eyes.

Kushina... is about to give birth too.

Mikoto deduced this period based on a ninja's instinct for intelligence analysis.

Other ninjas might not be able to tell, but Mikoto saw it at a glance.

Regardless, she was a Jonin of the Uchiha clan who participated in the Third Shinobi World War and awakened the legendary "Mangekyou Sharingan".

"As for the name, I've already thought of one."

Kushina watched as those tiny nostrils fluttered gently with each breath, and a feeling of anticipation welled up inside her.

Almost subconsciously, she spoke to Mikoto in a tone tinged with secret and anticipation:

"I've already thought of a name for my child... Naruto. Maybe they'll become good friends, go to school together, and even be in the same class."

Mikoto smiled slightly.

Kushina mentioned this before.

Just then, Kushina tugged at Mikoto's sleeve, lowered her voice, and asked the question that had been lingering in her mind for a long time:

"Um... is it really... very painful?"

Mikoto was taken aback at first, then noticed the rare timidity in Kushina's usually vibrant blue eyes, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"So even the fearless Kushina is worried about this?"

"Of course, it's not like I'm really fearless."

Kushina spoke up.

The two women stood there and started chatting.

Sarutobi Biwako, who was waiting behind, called out to Kushina when the time was right.

The current Hokage is Uchiha Kiyoshi, but the secret of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's impending birth needs to be kept from everyone except the higher-ups and relevant personnel.

Otherwise, it would be easy for malicious individuals to take advantage of the weakening of the Tailed Beast seal and cause trouble for Konoha.

"Kushina, we should go, time is of the essence."

Sarutobi Biwako Road.

"okay."

Kushina snapped out of her daze and hurriedly waved to Mikoto, "See you next time, Mikoto!"

Mikoto, holding Sasuke, stood there, watching the red-haired figure walk further and further away from the deserted street corner until it finally disappeared.

Mikoto's gentle smile slowly faded.

She was wondering whose child Kushina was carrying.

After a long while, Itachi raised his head and looked at his mother, saying:

"Is something bothering you, Mother?"

"nothing."

Mikoto shook her head.

What does a little kid like a weasel know?

Although he is very intelligent, he is still too young.

……

“You shouldn’t have stopped, and you definitely shouldn’t have talked to her.”

Sarutobi Biwako's tone was more severe than ever before.

"Your childbirth is confidential and must be kept secret. You need to know that you are not just carrying out your own responsibilities."

Sarutobi Biwako said seriously.

"Sorry……"

Kushina lowered her head, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her clothes.

Seeing her like this, Sarutobi Biwako softened her tone slightly:

"Also, although the location is far from the village, it is still a classified mission. Even if the pain is intense, you can't shout too loudly."

"Okay... okay."

Kushina responded softly, but her heart couldn't help but tighten.

To be honest, she did have a great deal of fear about the pain of childbirth.

……

Meanwhile, Kiyoshi and his group had already entered Iwagakure Village.

Inside Iwagakure, there is a special arena where Chunin are tested.

As one of the Five Great Nations, Iwagakure naturally has a complete system for training ninjas.

Like Konoha, they have their own designated area.

However, since most of the Land of Earth consists of desolate rocky cliffs, the styles are mostly the same, lacking the diversity of Konoha.

"Lord Hokage, when we make our move, I may not be able to control the force I use."

Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki nicknamed "Steam Ninja," looked at Kiyoshi.

He wore a red conical hat, red armor, and even a red mask covering his face.

This is a steam armor specially made by Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki. Utilizing the special structure of this armor, it can use steam to generate powerful force with maximum efficiency.

Throughout the entire Hidden Stone Village, few could rival his strength.

"It's alright, I'm also very good at physical strength."

Kiyoshi said slowly.

Upon arriving at Iwagakure, he made his request to the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki.

Onoki heard that Kiyoshi had defeated the tailed beasts of the major ninja villages and guessed that he might be a fan of fighting or perhaps he was using this to perfect some kind of technique.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ōnoki did not refuse Kiyoshi.

As long as Han and Gobuchi don't get into any trouble, a few sparring matches are fine.

The ambitious Onoki also took the opportunity to propose many deals with Konoha. Kiyoshi chose to sign contracts with all the requests that were within reasonable limits.

So Iwagakure happily found Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, and had him fight Kiyoshi.

"Then I'll have to offend you."

Han said. His strength was among the best in the ninja world, and he had heard of Uchiha Kiyoshi's ninjutsu "Monstrous Strength" against Tsunade.

He was curious how this compared to his own "Boiling Release: Unparalleled Strength".

He can raise his chakra to boiling point in one go, causing his entire body's power to surge in an instant, ultimately exploding at a single point.

The power generated in this way will far exceed the limits of physical strength under normal circumstances.

To do this, one must master the "Boiling" technique; otherwise, there is no way to raise chakra to its boiling point.

"drink!"

Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, let out a low roar and charged toward Kiyoshi like a crimson meteor.

Buzz!
The steam-powered armor roared and emitted strange noises as it accelerated.

The billowing molten steam traced distorted paths through the air, like a steam train hurtling forward at full speed. His speed increased with each sprint, and the ground beneath his feet melted into glass-like crystals due to the intense heat.

"interesting."

Kiyoshi's lips curled slightly.

Han was indeed a unique ninja. Few ninjas would develop ninja tools that matched their own ninjutsu, but Han combined his bloodline limit with ninja tool development to create a unique steam armor.

Mei Terumi also possesses the "Boiling" kekkei genkai, but her development path is completely different from Mei's.

Han valued the explosive power and kinetic energy contained in steam, while Terumi Mei valued the corrosive power of "boiling".

Unfortunately, in the Sharingan's field of vision, this speed was still as slow as a fully loaded camera lens.

boom--!
Han's kick slammed into Kiyoshi's raised arm, and the resulting shockwave exploded outwards in a ring shape, instantly turning the rubble into dust in mid-air.

Han used the momentum to flip himself onto the ground, the exhaust vents of his steam armor hissing.

"Is this what they call 'superhuman strength'?"

Han was secretly alarmed.

The force of the recoil made his entire leg bone hum, and bruises appeared on the skin inside the armor.

He thought to himself that it was indeed well-deserved of its reputation.

The force of the recoil made him feel pain.

Bang bang bang!

The next dozens of engagements were so fast that they were just afterimages.

Han pushed the steam pressure to its limit, each punch carrying explosive power, yet it was always nimbly intercepted just before it hit.

Kiyoshi's movements were fluid and graceful, as if he had already anticipated all of Kiyoshi's attack routes.

In order to make the most efficient use of steam, the Han dynasty employed physical combat techniques.

After fighting for a while, Han felt the strain.

Uchiha Kiyoshi in front of him was like a tireless monster; as soon as one move ended, a new one would appear.

"Seventh... Gate of Shock".

Pale blue steam rose from Kiyoshi's body.

boom!
The gust of wind created by the burst of chakra nearly knocked Han's straw hat off.

"The Eight Gates Formation?"

Han looked at Qing Si, who stood calmly in the middle, and felt puzzled.

Isn't it rumored that the "Eight Gates Formation" puts a tremendous strain on the human body?

Why does Uchiha Kiyoshi look so calm?

"The burden of the seventh gate is too small for me."

Kiyoshi shook hands.

Even without using the "Dark Chakra" technique he obtained from Shennong, his powerful physique alone could easily withstand the load of the "Eight Gates Formation".

Even the final "dead end" is one that Kiyoshi can try.

However, he did not want to risk his life to conduct experiments until he was completely certain of his success.

Shennong only claimed to be able to open all eight gates without side effects, but his eight gates were a stripped-down version.

Whoosh!
Kiyoshi's speed was like a gust of wind, disappearing from the spot.

By the time Han realized what was happening, Qing Si was already behind him.

"It's not space-time ninjutsu, it's the speed of body movement!"

Han's pupils contracted; he hadn't expected the seventh gate to provide such a significant boost to Qing Si.

Pfft!
Han was kicked away by Qing Si, creating a deep crater in the ground.

"Father, the Hokage of Konoha is so strong."

A little girl with short black hair, black eyes, and delicate features spoke.

"Kurotsuchi was one of the greatest contributors to quelling the Third Shinobi World War."

Huang Tu spoke to his daughter.

Kiyoshi is very strong.

The loess clearly understands this.

His strength is also astonishing; he can do all sorts of incredible things using Earth Release ninjutsu.

Examples include "Earth Release: Mountain Earth Technique," which can shake mountains, and "Earth Release: Fist Rock," which can send an enemy flying with a single punch.

He had often fought against Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, and was very familiar with his abilities.

However, he couldn't handle Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, with the same ease as Kiyoshi.

"Hmph, what's so interesting about these? They're not as good as my art."

Deidara crossed his arms, showing no interest in the battle below.

He was thinking that with so many people here, they should be looking at his art!

A bunch of mediocre people!
"That's enough, Deidara."

Huang Tu glanced at Deidara.

This guy is so young, yet he's always causing trouble in the village.

Under the guise of art, they wantonly cause trouble for others.

"Brother Deidara, have you created any new artworks this time?"

"Hmph, of course."

Deidara was initially somewhat dissatisfied with what Yellow Earth said, but upon hearing Black Earth's interested remarks, he immediately took out his new work and began to ramble on about it.

The battle below has reached a critical moment.

Han's physical strength was inferior to Kiyoshi's, so he used "Half-Tailed Beast Transformation" much earlier.

The crimson tailed beast chakra clung to his body like flowing liquid, enhancing Han's chakra and strength in every way.

"His recovery speed is too fast."

The more the Han fought, the more alarmed they became.

After the entire battle, Uchiha Kiyoshi's only damage was to his clothes.

The rest of his body was completely unharmed.

The reason for this is that Uchiha Kiyoshi's recovery ability is healing his injuries at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But he began to become covered in wounds, and blood soaked the inside of his steam armor.

"Boiling Escape·Unparalleled Strange Power!"

Han seized an opportunity and raised his strength to its limit.

"Is this the operating route?"

Kiyoshi's eyes flashed with the red light of his Sharingan as he continuously observed the flow of chakra within Han's body.

Kiyoshi has not yet developed a bloodline limit like "Boiling" Release.

But given enough time, Kiyoshi is not worried that he will not be able to develop the "Boiling" technique.

Kiyoshi was able to fight Han for so long because he wanted to figure out as many ninjutsu techniques as possible.

As his strength grew, Kiyoshi became less eager to eliminate his opponents and end the battle.

Instead, he would extract the last bit of value from his opponent, build up Kiyoshi's ninjutsu foundation, and then choose to end the battle.

"Even half-tailed beast transformation is useless?"

Han gasped for breath, his crimson tailed beast cloak writhing as if alive. "Then I'll show you the true power of a tailed beast!"

Five chakra tails shot into the sky, each containing a massive amount of chakra.

But just as Han was about to fully transform into a tailed beast, Kiyoshi suddenly took a deep breath, his cheeks puffed out slightly, and he exhaled a mouthful of blazing ash.

The ash, carrying intense heat, spread rapidly in the surrounding area, obscuring the surrounding landscape.

Fire Style: Dust Hiding Technique!
This is not an ordinary fire jutsu.

This ninjutsu uses fire-style chakra to generate flames and mix them with a large amount of scorching dust for an attack. The dust generated by this ninjutsu continues to spread after landing, causing secondary burns.

Its ash mist has a viscous nature, instantly shrouding the battlefield in a fog so thick that one cannot see their own hand in front of their face.

The high temperature caused Han's steam armor to overheat and turn red, forcing Han to shut down all air intakes.

Kiyoshi saw Han hurriedly close his eyes and retreat, but his Sharingan had already pierced through the dust and mist.

In the original story, Madara Uchiha, who had just been resurrected into a living human body, used this move to successfully escape the encirclement of Naruto, Sasuke, and others.

Han instinctively covered his eyes.

That was the only place not protected by steam armor.

laugh!
Kiyoshi's figure was not affected in the dust and fog. He quickly cut off several chakra tails and sealed them in a sealing scroll.

Each time they collect the chakra of a tailed beast, they use various methods to conceal it.

He didn't want outsiders to know that he was collecting tailed beasts.

The shell organization of Isshiki Otsutsuki will find out about him sooner or later.

The butterfly effect brought about by Kiyoshi might lead to the premature birth of Otsutsuki Isshiki.

"All right."

Once the dust and mist cleared, Kiyoshi did not make any further moves.

He had achieved his goal, and the last of the Five-Tails' chakra was now in his hands.

Now, Kiyoshi's next step is simply to figure out how to stuff the nine different Tailed Beast chakras into the container and let them grow into a Divine Tree sapling.

These contain only a small portion of the tailed beast's chakra, but it is enough to bring about a qualitative change.

Once a qualitative change occurs, quantity only needs time to accumulate.

"Oh, that explosion was pretty good."

Deidara looked at Kiyoshi's "Fire Release: Dust Concealment Technique," which looked very much like the dust and mist produced after an explosion.

"Lord Hokage, let's stop here then."

Seeing that Kiyoshi did not continue, he stopped.

Some of his chakra was torn away.

However, these chakra can be replenished over time for the Jinchūriki.

"Fourth Hokage, you are the strongest taijutsu I have ever seen."

After thinking for a moment, Han added a sentence.

"you flatter me."

Qingsi shook his head.

The strongest in physical combat?
If he were to use his physique to burn his life force to unleash the "Gate of Death," he would indeed be incredibly powerful.

However, such a suicidal approach would not bring much benefit to Kiyoshi.

"Then, Hokage of Konoha, please continue with the important matters."

Onoki flew down from the high-platform audience seats.

There are still many details to be discussed regarding the cooperation between Iwagakure and Konoha.

"no problem."

Qingsi nodded.

He looked at Onoki in front of him, the Kage who had the longest lifespan in the original work.

This old guy was secretly hiring and using Akatsuki when they first appeared.

In "Boruto," they even started playing with artificial humans.

He even used his own cells to cultivate a young version of himself called "Kong".

Soon, night fell.

Kiyoshi stayed in the room that Iwagakure had given them.

He used the "Flying Thunder God Technique" to leave Iwagakure and went directly to the alternate dimension where the Shinigami resided.

Whether this place has a deeper connection with the so-called Pure Land, Qing Si doesn't know.

Anyway, there are very few souls here; besides the endless wasteland, there is only death itself.

"Alright, now how do we fuse them?"

Kiyoshi took out nine sealing scrolls that were completely different colors.

Each one contains the chakra of a different tailed beast. (End of Chapter)
