Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

The third training ground.

Qing Si slammed his hands on the ground, and the ground rose up with a roar, revealing a huge earthen dragon.

The earth dragon roared in the air, its scales falling off like mud.

After Qing Si formed a hand seal, the earthen dragon quickly hardened again, becoming a stone dragon made of piled rocks.

【Note: You can advance later. 】

Kiyoshi slowly exhaled.

He is currently only missing [Illusionary Shadow (Gold)] to collect all seven chakra nature "Shadow" level attributes, but the subsequent advancement path for that attribute has not yet been revealed.

Kiyoshi guessed that there might be some conditions that needed to be met before it could be achieved.

I've also gotten my hands on the other "Kage" level entries for Fire Release, Lightning Release, Wind Release, and Water Release.

【Shadow of Illusion (Gold)】is naturally an entry related to the Yin attribute.

Kiyoshi's illusion magic is powerful, but he doesn't have a wide variety of illusions.

In many situations, he can handle most scenarios with just one Sharingan genjutsu.

In addition, he has been focused on developing his bloodline limit, and so far he has only learned a dozen or so genjutsu that are unrelated to the Sharingan.

Kiyoshi glanced at the progress bar for the [Illusion Shadow (Gold)] item, which had reached 97%.

He will be able to synthesize it in no time.

"Seiji!"

Seeing that Kiyoshi had finished his training, Kurenai Yuhi rushed over.

She had been waiting here all morning, and finally, Qing Si finished his training.

"hungry?"

"not yet."

Yuhi Hong shook her head.

"How come you've been cultivating for so long..."

As she spoke, Kurenai Yuhi looked somewhat aggrieved.

Even though he was right next to him, Kiyoshi continued his cultivation without paying attention to himself.

"Isn't this all to protect the village?"

Kiyoshi smiled slightly, took Kurenai's small hand, and gently squeezed it.

Yuhiko's hands were very well-maintained, each one slender and incredibly white and tender.

These hands are not only capable of forming hand seals and casting spells, but they would surely have other wonderful uses if used in other places as well.

"I'll take you on a mission in a couple of days."

Kiyoshi said.

Once Kiyoshi finds information about Uchiha Shin or the Grell Stone, he will go out for a trip.

Bringing along the sunset red would be fine, as it can also help relieve the boredom of the journey.

"Really?"

Kurenai's deep red eyes were fixed on Kiyoshi without leaving his side for a moment.

She brought her face close, almost standing on tiptoe.

"When have I ever lied to you?"

Qingsi spoke.

He always lies to Kurenai, but not this time.

"Yeah, too."

After thinking for a moment, Kurenai quickly grabbed Kiyoshi's hand.

"But you have to come shopping with me today."

"Let's go to Tanabata Street, I'll take you there."

Kiyoshi said.

If I were to run into Mikoto during the day while we were arguing like this, I'd have to come up with an excuse to get out of it.

"it is good!"

Kurenai nodded excitedly.

Tanzaku Town is located in the southwest of the Land of Fire, and it is full of hotels, amusement parks, casinos and other entertainment venues.

But there are also ancient buildings there, and Tanabata Castle in Tanabata Street has been designated as a cultural heritage site of the Land of Fire.

The place is bustling with people coming and going.

Kiyoshi and Kurenai suddenly appeared from an alleyway, but they didn't attract the attention of anyone else.

Kiyoshi has already visited most of the Land of Fire.

During the Third Shinobi World War, he traveled to various places with his unit.

After mastering the "Flying Thunder God Technique," he consciously left marks in more places to facilitate his teleportation at any time.

With his current chakra reserves, it wouldn't have been difficult for him to bring Kurenai Yuhi here.

"I heard there's a new movie out, let's go check it out."

Kurenai hugged Seiji's hand, and Seiji immediately felt the tenderness in people's hearts.

As organisms mature, they typically accumulate layers of fat around their hearts.

This is both a way to store energy and a form of defense.

The sunset glow has grown bigger and bigger.

As Kurenai Yuhi grew closer to the image of the mature woman in his memory, Kiyoshi's pupils couldn't help but twitch.

This is what they call... nurturing.

Watching Kurenai Yuhi gradually transform under my influence brings an unparalleled sense of nurturing.

Did you use up too much chakra just now?

Kurenai looked curiously at Kiyoshi, who had suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"No, quite the opposite, I increased my chakra."

Kiyoshi was speaking in a language that Kurenai Yuhi couldn't understand.

Kurenai Yuhi took Kiyoshi's joke as a joke and began to talk about the movie with great interest.

Tanso Street is considered a trend of the times, as it will screen some new movies ahead of schedule.

"I heard that a new movie called 'Princess of the Storm 1' has recently been released. It is said to be the debut work of newcomer Fujikaze Yukie."

"Yeah."

Si followed Kurenai into the crowd, his eyes scanning the movie posters posted on the street, and he discovered that the character on the poster was none other than Kazeka Koyuki from the Land of Snow.

Perhaps it was to supplement the finances of the Snow Country, or perhaps it was out of her own interest, that she chose to become an actress.

After all, Kiyoshi took the "geothermal generator" away, and the new "geothermal generator" is still under construction and being improved.

In the original story, the Land of Snow was still covered in snow in the future, which shows that the researchers in the Land of Snow were far less intelligent than the daimyo of the Land of Snow.

"Why are you staring at her? Do you think she's beautiful?"

Kurenai pouted and tightened her grip on Kiyoshi's arm.

Fat tends to gather closer to the skin.

"No, I'm just curious about what the plot of the movie you're interested in will be like."

Kiyoshi withdrew his gaze and landed on Kurenai Yuhi, saying softly, "If we're talking about beauty, you're much prettier than her now."

Kurenai lowered her head in embarrassment at Kiyoshi's blunt words.

Kiyoshi pulled Kurenai into his arms again, and his other hand slid down naturally.

Snapped.

Kiyoshi patted him gently.

Kurenai's pupils contracted, and her heart pounded.

"Here...here..."

"No one can hear you."

Qingsi smiled slightly.

Although he and Kurenai were on the street, they were now below a shop, and the building in front of the shop blocked their view, essentially creating a blind spot.

"clear……"

Kurenai wanted to say something, but before she could utter a syllable, Kiyoshi cut her off.

Gradually, her body went limp.

I had no time to care about Fuji Fuyuki-e.

She thought to herself that Kiyoshi was simply cheating!
"Want to take a look?"

After a long while, Kiyoshi raised his head and released Kurenai.

"Go...of course I'll go."

Kurenai took several deep breaths, leaning on Seiji to support her limp body, before finally pulling him toward the movie theater.

The movie's plot is quite good, and Kiyoshi thinks there's a reason why it became a bestseller in the Land of Fire.

So much so that several sequels to the series were made afterward.

"You have mastered the entry 【Film Connoisseur (Green)】."

After the movie ended, Kiyoshi also received a green entry, which could be triggered by watching one hundred movies.

Over the years, he has rarely wasted energy on such matters. In the past, when he copied movies for Kushina, he simply copied them without spending time watching them.

"My film appreciation skills have increased by 20%."

Kiyoshi felt that this entry was unnecessary.

If he wanted to, he could easily remake various movies from his previous life and disrupt the film market of the Land of Fire.

It's just not necessary.

With his current status and abilities, he has easier ways to make money.

Even after watching the movie, Kurenai Yuhi's interest remained undiminished.

Then he pulled Kiyoshi to the next place.

By the time the red glow of the setting sun faded, the sky had already darkened.

"Just rest here for the night."

Kiyoshi held Kurenai's hand.

He planned to check how ripe the fruit was.

A qualified gardener is one who constantly records the development of the fruit.

"wait for me."

After settling him into his room, Kiyoshi asked Kurenai to go upstairs first, as he had some things to take care of.

"it is good."

Kurenai's heart skipped a beat.

Her complexion turned rosy, and even her fair collarbones were tinged with pink.

She's not a clueless child anymore.

What else can two people do when they check into a hotel?

It can't possibly be a whole night of shogi, can it?
……

"You're looking for me?"

Upon returning to Konoha, Kiyoshi immediately went to the Hokage Building.

He left some barriers here, which, once triggered, will notify his puppet clones.

The puppet clone contacted him again.

"Hokage-sama."

Uzuki Yugao looked up in surprise.

Just as she and Gekko Hayate were about to leave, they finally met Kiyoshi.

The two had arrived at the Hokage Building quite early to wait, but unfortunately, no one was in the Hokage's office.

Kiyoshi is the Hokage, but he doesn't waste too much time here. Sometimes he comes for a few minutes a day, and sometimes he doesn't come for several days in a row.

Therefore, many ninjas actually see more of the Root leader, Minato Namikaze.

The Roots, which had been lurking in the shadows, also gained dramatic fame, and many people began to pay attention to this previously unknown organization.

"Evening Glory and Gale."

Kiyoshi raised his eyes and continued to ask:

Has your illness improved recently?

"I'm feeling better, Hokage-sama."

Gekko Hayate suppressed the urge to cough, trying his best to appear nonchalant in front of Kiyoshi.

"I'm here to ask the Hokage to let me leave the Anbu. I want to stay at the Ninja Academy as an examiner or teacher."

Gekko Hayate spoke before Uzuki Yugao could.

Uzuki Yugao was taken aback, not expecting Gekko Hayate to say that.

She quickly exclaimed, "Swift Wind, are you crazy?"

The treatment in the Anbu is much better than teaching at the Ninja Academy.

"I'm not crazy, this is what I want to do."

Moonlight Gale shook his head.

"Xiyan, I don't want to be treated for my illness anymore. It's pointless. Let me have an easier time in the last few years of my life."

Moonlight Gale Road.

Hearing what Gekko Hayate said, Uzuki Yugao's eyes widened.

"I respect your choice."

Kiyoshi took out the personal file belonging to Hayate Gekko from the archives, wrote a few casual notes, and then transferred him to teach at the Ninja Academy.

"I will send someone to help you get used to teaching at the ninja academy."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

Moonlight Gale bows respectfully.

After saying that, he left without even looking at Uzuki Yugao's expression.

"Hokage-sama, I..."

Uzuki Yugao's bright red lips opened and closed a few times, as if she wanted to say something.

But what else could she say?

The department's funds are already depleted, and even if the funds were doubled, would the research on bloodline diseases really yield any results?

Every day that is delayed, Moonlight Gale's condition may worsen, and his suffering may last longer.

She simply couldn't bear to see her companion suffer like that.

Leaving the Anbu and becoming a ninja academy teacher is indeed a good choice.

"Has the funding run out?"

Kiyoshi seemed to see through Yugao Uzuki's confusion and spoke up.

"Um……"

Uzuki Yugao nodded, her long purple hair shimmering in the sunlight.

Her porcelain-like, exquisite face seemed to be coated with a layer of gold.

The current Uzuki Yugao is very beautiful.

Kiyoshi looked at Uzuki Yugao with admiration.

Uzuki Yugao has grown up so much.

It's time to harvest the fruit.

"With Konoha's current medical technology, even if we invest several times more, it will probably all be a waste of money."

"I know."

Uzuki Yugao nodded.

Ultimately, it's just that she doesn't want to admit it.

The realm of bloodline limits has always been studied, with people yearning to obtain power equal to that of bloodline limits.

Unfortunately, very few people have ever succeeded in curing the intractable diseases that arise from bloodline limits.

"Actually, there is a complete solution."

Kiyoshi tapped his fingertips on the table.

As expected, Uzuki Yugao stared intently at Kiyoshi, wanting to know what the solution was.

At that moment, Qing Si revealed a sorrowful expression and spoke in a heavy tone.

But then, his tone shifted, revealing a glimmer of hope:
"Fortunately, I spent the whole night studying it, and with Professor Nono's company, my thinking became much clearer."

"You mean...there's a cure?"

Uzuki Yugao immediately grasped the key point and pressed for an answer, a spark suddenly igniting in her eyes.

"Of course, in fact, I have already prepared some initial doses of the medicine."

"It's a quiet moment," Kiyoshi said.

Of course, this is all just a smokescreen.

Bloodline diseases are certainly difficult to treat, but it also depends on the individual.

Kiyoshi's medical ninjutsu skills have placed him at the pinnacle of Konoha.

Moreover, he received the true teachings of Nono and Tsunade, as well as the "Dark Medical Ninjutsu" from the Land of Demons, which specializes in modifying the body and using "Mouryou power".

Making minor modifications to some people is not a big problem.

Moonlight Gale hasn't reached the late stage yet.

At least it's after Naruto has grown up, as depicted in the original work.

He died so young purely because he was hampered by illness and his poor performance in actual combat; he couldn't beat Machiavelli.

"Wait, Hokage-sama."

She suddenly remembered something, and her tone became somewhat uneasy.

"I'd like to ask first... how much do these medicines cost?"

Uzuki Yugao asked cautiously.

The surprise came so quickly that she was almost in a daze. She had originally thought that she would have to go through a long and complicated examination, and that treatment would be a long way off, but she never expected such an unexpected joy.

"Hmm, it cost five hundred million taels, I think..."

Kiyoshi said it casually.

Since it's all fake anyway, we'll naturally exaggerate it.

"Five...five hundred million taels!?"

Uzuki Yugao, who had been full of anticipation, was as if doused with cold water and instantly sobered up.

Such a high cost likely illustrates the enormous cost of pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Once the drug is on the market, her department will be disbanded after completing its mission.

Will she and Moonlight Gale be able to purchase such medicine by then?

Some medications require long-term use to be effective.

If they are unable to pay, does the company really have to foot the bill out of its own pocket?
They originally planned to work together to save money to pay off the debt, but judging from the amount, they didn't know when they would be able to pay it off.

"How can money measure the bond of friendship between us?"

Kiyoshi suddenly shook his head, interrupting her thoughts with a serious expression.

Uzuki Yugao was at a loss for words. This kindness was too heavy, too heavy for her to know how to repay.

Her throat tightened, and a surge of gratitude welled up in her chest, making it difficult for her to utter even a complete thank you.

"Lord Hokage... I really don't know how to repay you."

Her voice was slightly choked up, unlike her usual calm and composed mature self; instead, she sounded like a helpless girl.

In her memory, Kiyoshi was always a highly respected, upright, and gentle senior.

No one but him has ever offered help so unreservedly.

"It's nothing."

Qingsi shook his head.

"Come to my house tomorrow night to pick up your medicine."

He has something to do tonight.

"……it is good."

Uzuki Yugao nodded earnestly.

She was already thinking about how to repay Kiyoshi.

What could a high-ranking and powerful figure like him possibly offer as a token of gratitude to someone as lowly as his undercover agent?
Uzuki Yugao couldn't figure it out.

She remained kneeling on one knee, and just as she was about to get up, she unexpectedly felt a burning gaze.

That gaze quickly swept over her full heart and then moved elsewhere.

Uzuki Yugao immediately thought of the Naruto, who is still... single.

That's right, he doesn't have a publicly acknowledged girlfriend.

Although there are always some unpleasant rumors, Uzuki Yugao believes that these are all nonsense and baseless rumors.

And every person has needs while living.

Even a Hokage who devoted himself to the village could only spend the night alone in loneliness.

Uzuki Yugao thought of a way to repay the favor.

Soon, she realized she was overthinking things.

How could the Hokage be that kind of person?
But if I don't try, what else can I do to repay this kindness?
…………

Xinxiao Organization Base.

"Heh heh, this body is truly amazing."

Orochimaru opened his eyes and raised his hand to stare at his pale arm.

According to Madara, who was wearing a mask, it was something cultivated using "Hashirama cells" and "Gedo Mazo".

Did the First Hokage still possess the power of the Gedo Mazo?

Orochimaru stretched out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, he abandoned his previous vessel, obtained a better White Zetsu from the Shinkyo organization, and used "Reanimation Jutsu" to possess the White Zetsu.

Soon, White Zetsu's body transformed into Orochimaru's appearance.

Orochimaru sprinkled some powder on a female corpse in front of him, and the female corpse continued to dissolve and merge.

"The next time won't be for three years..."

Orochimaru was mentally calculating the time.

"Reincarnation" requires a three-year interval between each reincarnation, and the spiritual power of the vessel must be weaker than that of the caster; otherwise, there is a risk that the caster's soul will be devoured.

But its greatest advantage is that, theoretically, this ninjutsu can seize the body of anyone, whether man or woman, strong or weak.

As long as the first two essential conditions are met, it can be implemented.

Of course, containers also come in different grades.

The better one's aptitude, the more it resonates with one's soul, and the longer it will last.

Otherwise, the container's rejection reaction would cause the caster to experience a prolonged period of weakness.

"As expected of the Senju clan of the Forest..."

Orochimaru felt a surge in his chakra levels.

This White Zetsu body is almost entirely composed of "Hashirama cells".

It can be said that he is now a pure-blooded Thousand Hands clansman.

Even ordinary members of the Thousand Hands clan cannot match his purity.

"We could try using the First Hokage's 'Wood' Release technique."

Orochimaru knew that the "Wood" Release only required Earth and Water Release chakra to synthesize, but very few people could complete this step at the same time and perfectly fuse the two chakra.

A tall, black-haired figure flashed through his mind.

Uchiha Kiyoshi!
"If we can't take your body back in these three years, what about the next three years, and the one after that?"

A dangerous glint flashed in Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils.

Even after acquiring the body of a White Zetsu, Orochimaru did not give up his desire for Kiyoshi's body.

It was a body that contained many bloodline limits, and also the Sharingan that Orochimaru had always dreamed of.

"This is the person you are going to resurrect this time."

When Orochimaru finally adapted to his new body and walked out of the laboratory, Obito stopped him.

"Kato Dan...?"

Orochimaru looked at the intelligence report that was handed to him, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.

It was the deaths of her younger brother Nawaki and her former lover Dan Kato that caused Tsunade to develop hemophobia, from which she never recovered.

"You want to resurrect all the powerful figures with names and identities, and bring them under your control?"

Orochimaru looked up at the spiral-patterned mask on Obito's face.

Orochimaru remained skeptical of the man who called himself Madara.

"You know about Uchiha Kiyoshi's strength, right?"

Obito countered with a question.

Currently, "Limited Tsukuyomi" is still accumulating chakra.

Edo Tensei Shinno was also present during the last attack on Konoha.

Although Shennong's techniques were sealed away by Kiyoshi, they remained within the Akatsuki organization.

"Dark Chakra" is continuously being poured into the crystal ball. Once the chakra is fully accumulated, you can try using "Limited Tsukuyomi".

"Hehe, okay."

Obito's reasoning was impeccable.

Uchiha Kiyoshi's power truly became a shadow looming over everyone's hearts.

The more powerful individuals you gather, the more likely you are to defeat Uchiha Kiyoshi.

Why fight one-on-one when you can gang up on someone? Ninja battles have always been about using every means to achieve victory.

If these people can seriously injure Kiyoshi, it might be his chance.

"I'll bring the offerings to you at 2 PM. How long will it take to finish?"

"It can be completed the moment it arrives."

Orochimaru spoke.

He gave a venomous smile.

Tsunade, I've given you a gift. (End of Chapter)
