Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Chapter 399 Reincarnation Sacrifice, Playing Poker

Kiyoshi gestured for Tsunade to enter, and she walked in wearing sandals.

Tsunade leaned against the wall in the entryway, bending down to change her shoes. Her cheongsam stretched even tighter around her waist, making it seem as if her breath was being outlined.

A pair of jade-like feet, with toes neatly arranged in a row, adorned with red nail polish, like cinnabar dots on snow.

Kiyoshi's gaze lingered for only a moment before he looked away, walked straight ahead, poured her a cup of tea, and placed it on the table.

"Please take a seat."

Tsunade pursed her lips, holding the playing cards she had brought in her palm.

"How's your mastery of the secret techniques going?"

She seemed to be just making conversation casually.

"Learned."

Qing Si answered calmly.

This technique wasn't difficult for him; Kiyoshi's chakra reserves and chakra control were both up to standard.

As Kiyoshi continues to grow stronger, sooner or later he will become a ninja god who surpasses Hashirama Senju.

Back then, Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju quelled the chaos of the world and jointly established the Land of Fire, which together with the other four strongest ninja villages was known as the Five Great Nations.

The chaos of the world seems to have ended, but the realm of forbearance has been sealed.

In reality, undercurrents were surging beneath the surface, and Otsutsuki Isshiki had been lying low, quietly developing his organization.

Even now, Kiyoshi doesn't know where he is.

Neither Naruto nor Sasuke could sense Isshiki Otsutsuki's presence; they could only perceive it with their naked eyes.

Because the Otsutsuki clan possesses the ability to conceal their aura, making them undetectable.

Kiyoshi was able to sense the others and their father because they did not have the corresponding secret techniques passed down to them and were unorthodox practitioners.

"So fast."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow slightly, secretly admiring her.

Kiyoshi walked faster than she had expected, and she was once again amazed by his learning ability.

Such a person will surely leave a significant mark on the ninja world.

"These are nothing."

Kiyoshi shook his head, paused, and then looked at Tsunade:
"Lady Tsunade looks beautiful today, that's what's worth noting."

"Grumpy."

Tsunade could feel Kiyoshi's burning gaze. She suppressed the flutter in her heart, pretended to be calm, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip.

"I heard you like cheongsams, so I, as your teacher, wore one especially for you, isn't that nice?"

Tsunade's figure was perfectly accentuated by the cheongsam.

Slender waist, abundant fruit.

A bright and sexy visual feast.

"Of course it's good. Tsunade-sensei is the best teacher I've ever met."

Kiyoshi said.

"Better than...Nonou?"

Tsunade suddenly asked a question, her brown eyes casually sweeping over Kiyoshi.

"Yes."

Kiyoshi answered without hesitation.

Tsunade's cheongsam is definitely better than Nono's.

Nono has never worn a cheongsam before.

Tsunade was naturally unaware of these tactics; being much older than Kiyoshi, she actually had little experience.

The rest of his life was basically spent in a cycle of borrowing money, gambling, and escaping debts.

"Who knows if you're telling the truth, you little brat."

Tsunade placed the playing cards she had brought on the table.

Even so, it was still noticeable that her expression brightened considerably.

"How about we play a game?"

She said it in a lighthearted manner.

Kiyoshi's eyes flickered, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

"Draw the ghost card?"

"it is good."

Kiyoshi nodded, quickly opened the transparent packaging in Tsunade's box, took out the cards inside, and skillfully shuffled them.

first round.

As Tsunade drew her cards, her fingers paused in front of Kiyoshi's cards, her gaze sweeping across his face.

The greatest fun in drawing joker cards lies in observation.

You can see through someone as soon as they give off the slightest hint of something.

However, Kiyoshi simply stared at her indifferently, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

In terms of acting skills, Kiyoshi is already very mature.

Tsunade's heart tightened; this kid's eyes were even more unfathomable than those of many veteran ninjas.

"This one."

She gritted her teeth and pulled it out, her gaze quickly lowering.

For a moment, her breath stopped.

It's a joker.

Qing Si watched as her fingertips trembled slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Tsunade-sensei's luck with gambling is still not very good."

Kiyoshi said, as if sighing.

With his help, Tsunade might be able to win a few more games.

Once you stand on the opposite side, you can only lose.

"Come again."

Tsunade shuffled the cards again, her cheeks flushed.

"You go first this time."

Kiyoshi reached out and drew a card without hesitation.

"It's not a joker."

He spoke casually, loosening his grip, and the card flipped onto the table.

Tsunade's chest heaved slightly as she rubbed the cards in her hand with her fingertips, a gritted-teeth smile on her face.

"Heh, kid, don't get too cocky."

She drew a card again.

His fingers paused, and his gaze quickly scanned Kiyoshi's expression.

But the other party remained calm, and even a hint of mockery flashed in their eyes.

Tsunade's heart skipped a beat, but she steeled herself and pulled it out.

It's still the Joker.

Her pupils contracted slightly, and her body stiffened slightly.

The cards in my hand felt like a hot iron, almost impossible to hold steady.

Kiyoshi smiled calmly, took the pen from her, and gently held her wrist.

"I'll write it first."

Kiyoshi took out a pen and carefully wrote down the corresponding symbols on Tsunade's wrist.

If you repeat this five times, it will form a "正" character.

Tsunade's eyes twitched, and she tried to pull her hand back, but ultimately failed to break free.

The ink was cool, yet it burned into my skin like fire.

She stared down at the mark, her heart suddenly pounding, and she gritted her teeth, uttering a sentence:
"You little rascal, you really know how to take advantage of others."

Qing Si smiled without saying a word and continued shuffling the cards, the sound of the cards clattering crisply.

The subsequent results were almost entirely one-sided, with Tsunade suffering a crushing defeat.

"That's fine then, Tsunade-sensei."

Qing Si put the cards down.

Tsunade's hands were already covered in symbols; if she wrote any more, she would have to move them to her arms or thighs.

"Hmph, you brat, you have no respect for your teacher at all."

Tsunade arranged the cards and put them away.

Fortunately, it wasn't money she was gambling on today, Tsunade thought with relief.

If you gamble, you'll lose everything, even your underwear.

Only now does Tsunade understand the pressure those gamblers faced from Kiyoshi.

"I go first."

Tsunade looked up at the window; it was already quite late.

"Tomorrow is the Reincarnation Festival. Didn't the teacher give his disciple a gift?"

Qingsi spoke.

"Aren't you saying it backwards?"

Tsunade immediately said.

She doesn't have a single penny to spare right now; she even had to borrow money from Jingyin to buy the cheongsam.

Just as Tsunade was pondering how to maintain her dignity as a teacher, Kiyoshi leaned forward and kissed her.

Temperature felt incredibly real at that moment.

Tsunade, somewhat embarrassed and angry, stood there looking at Kiyoshi.

But she couldn't say anything.

The first time was when she was drunk and forcibly kissed me.

However, when Kiyoshi, with a spirit of scientific inquiry, wanted to see the difference between Samui and Tsunade, Tsunade quickly took a few steps back.

"It's getting late... I'll head back now."

Tsunade stammered.

For an older, honest woman who has remained chaste to this day, taking things any further would be quite stimulating.

After saying that, Tsunade quickly went to the entrance to change her shoes.

squeak……

The door hinge rotates.

Click.

Tsunade's figure had already disappeared in the midst of her haste.

……

Tsunade, having just left Kiyoshi's house, slowly exhaled.

The lingering warmth of her hands and lips seemed to still be there, leaving Tsunade somewhat dazed.

What exactly is going on.

She hadn't done any of these things with Kato Dan back then.

Before the two could take things any further, Kato Dan died outside.

But... Duan is already dead. Even if he knew, he would still bless the living.

Tsunade thought to herself.

Now that things have come to this, she doesn't know what to do anymore.

……

Meanwhile, at Tsunade's house.

"Hey, where's Lady Tsunade?"

Shizune shook her head and realized that Tsunade was nowhere to be found.

She also remembered accidentally discovering that Tsunade was lingering in a clothing store.

When Jingyin looked through the glass and saw the clothes inside, she discovered that they were... cheongsams.

"Lady Tsunade probably wouldn't wear a cheongsam to see Kiyoshi, would she?"

Silently clicked her tongue in amazement.

Their ages don't seem to match at all.

"Impossible, it shouldn't be possible."

He kept shaking his head silently.

If this really happens, what should she call Qing Si?
Could it be that the two of them are each stating their own opinion?
"Puyo~"

Wearing a pearl necklace, Tun Tun looked at Shizune's troubled little face and continued to enjoy her food happily.

In her view, humans are just too much trouble.

The most important thing in life is food.

……

Not long after Tsunade left, Kiyoshi went to the Hokage Building.

Hokage's office.

"From now on, you will join the Dark Division as a special squad."

Kiyoshi looked at Samui.

Today, Samui wasn't dressed as a waiter as usual, but in a ninja outfit.

She wore a tight-fitting inner layer, a green ninja vest over her upper body, and loose black trousers on her lower body.

When Samui knelt on one knee, his trousers suddenly tightened, revealing his rounded curves.

"We...we join the Dark Side?"

Samui was still somewhat stunned.

They were initially spies sent by Kumogakure to infiltrate Konoha, later becoming a transit point specifically for contacting Kiyoshi. Now, they've gone down a dead end, unable to return to Kumogakure, and have become pawns in their game.

“That’s right. If you do a good job, I can give you Konoha status so you can truly integrate into Konoha.”

Kiyoshi said.

If you want a green card from Konoha, you'd better do things honestly.

Samui bit his lower lip and remained silent.

This is indeed their only option right now.

Already disliked by Kumogakure, they were now wanted by the authorities, and no other ninja village would take them in.

Only Konoha still has hope.

Moreover, among the five great ninja villages, Konoha has the most superior environment and climate. Compared to the Land of Lightning, the air here seems bright and sweet.

Samui still harbors a longing for the land of Kumogakure.

But more than anything, I was worried about what would become of my younger brother, Atsi.

"Please let me know if there is anything you need, Lord Hokage."

Samui lowered his eyes and said, "Not bad."

Seeing Samui's cold, pretty face, as if she had no choice but to do things for him, Kiyoshi's lips curled into a wicked smile.

"Go and gather intelligence on Hoshigakure. I'll give you a month to recover."

Kiyoshi said.

He bundled together all the spies in the sushi restaurant.

A squad codenamed "Cloud" was formed, and Samui was appointed as its captain.

Watching Samui report on the mission is much more pleasing to the eye than watching Samoyed report on the situation.

"Xingyin Village?"

Samui muttered something to himself, then nodded.

She had heard of the so-called Hidden Star Village, where the leader called himself "Kage," using the title of Star Shadow.

It is said that generations of people have been training in a discipline called Star Training. Through a meteorite, they comprehended the "Peacock Technique," which caused many incredible changes in their chakra.

"You take the men there and bring the meteorite back to me."

Kiyoshi continued.

With subordinates, everything can be outsourced; he only needs to wait for the results.

There is a strange meteorite in the Hidden Star Village, which is rumored to be the chakra of the Ten-Tails.

Kiyoshi didn't care whether there was Ten-Tails chakra inside or not. He had even planted a Divine Tree, let alone the Ten-Tails.

What interests him is the "Peacock Technique," which uses chakra to materialize into the form of a tiger or a blue-purple tailed wolf for attack. However, the prerequisite for mastering this technique is that it requires the fusion of the radiation energy from a meteorite "star" with the chakra.

After successfully completing the training, the chakra can be transformed into wings for flight, and can also absorb the chakra of others who have also trained in the "Peacock Technique".

Kiyoshi plans to separate this technology to enhance the flight mobility of the "Chakra Armor".

He could also try to use the meteorite to make his chakra more concentrated.

As for the side effects, Kiyoshi wasn't too concerned. As can be seen from the original work, excessive use of meteorites could lead to death.

Given his physical strength, even if he absorbed the entire meteorite, he wouldn't necessarily be harmed.

"Yes."

Samui nodded.

"come over."

Kiyoshi said again.

In the original work, Samui is a Jonin who is skilled in swordsmanship. Even if he has become rusty in recent years, his strength should not be too bad.

He planned to bestow a curse mark upon Samui, and if she performed well, she might become a "seed of divine curse".

Kiyoshi lifted Samui's clothes, revealing only her fair and delicate abdomen, which resembled lotus root powder.

A faint outline of abs is visible on her lower abdomen, which is quite alluring.

Kiyoshi's fingertips touched Samui's abdomen.

Samui instinctively trembled as he felt the fingertips approaching.

But she suppressed the urge to leave and remained standing.

sizzle...

She experienced a burning pain on her delicate lower abdomen, and her skin appeared to be steaming.

Once the pain subsided, a three-comma pattern appeared, with the two characters "Qing Si" engraved in the very center.

Strangely, Samui felt a twisted pleasure from the pain.

She seemed to feel Kiyoshi stroking her, and she started the spell on her own.

A layer of mist welled up in her eyes.

"Go down."

Kiyoshi's words interrupted Samui's reverie.

Her expression suddenly froze.

What was I just doing?
How utterly shameless...

When she left the Hokage's office, Samui covered her face and leaned her back against Qiang.

The heavy weight of human hearts rises and falls with each breath.

Was she subtly influenced by Qing Si?

"Sister, are we going to be part of the Dark Guard from now on?"

Atsi waved excitedly when he saw Samui.

Being able to join the Dark Side was something it had been hoping for.

After all, this is an organization that has historically only been open to the elite.

"Ah."

Samui's tone was somewhat indifferent; after what had just happened, she didn't really want to talk.

"When will our masks and clothes be distributed?"

Atzii is more concerned about this issue.

"About a month."

Samui said.

Qing Si gave her a month's rest, the purpose of which was naturally to allow her to recover her former strength and then lead the team to complete the tasks assigned by Qing Si.

This is my first mission in Konoha, and I cannot afford to fail.

……

The next day.

The Reincarnation Festival arrived as scheduled.

In addition to the villagers of Konoha celebrating, tourists from outside the village also gathered on this day.

A short woman with long, flowing brown-red hair carried two strange weapons as she stepped into Konoha.

Under Kiyoshi's policy, anyone who passes the review can enter Konoha.

The wars between the major powers have now ceased, and a peaceful situation has been maintained.

They will naturally have various kinds of interactions and transactions with each other.

Ringo Ameyuri watched the lively scene in Konoha and observed the ever-changing village.

"As expected, it's completely different from the lifeless and gloomy Kirigakure..."

Little Ringo Ameyuri crossed her arms, her pretty face tilted upwards, looking quite dashing.

"That's... the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?"

"Is this also allowed to enter Konoha?"

"I heard it was a special approval from the Fourth Hokage..."

There were faint sounds of controversy in the village.

Ringo Amuri ignored these people.

"If you're here to visit the Hokage, please follow us."

Genma Shiranui and Ebisu appeared on the street using the "Body Flicker Technique".

This is also a form of surveillance.

"No problem, take me to him quickly."

Lin Yuyu spoke.

After walking for a while, the group finally arrived at the Hokage Building.

"Long time no see, Ringo Ameyuri."

Kiyoshi, sitting in the Hokage's chair, looked at the newcomer.

"You look almost exactly the same as you did a few years ago."

Ringo Amori looked closely at Seiji and found that Seiji's age seemed to have been frozen in time.

Just like the handsome man I remember.

When Ringo Ameyuri saw the pale purple diamond-shaped mark in the middle of Kiyoshi's forehead, she remembered.

This is... the Yin Seal.

"You're no different."

Kiyoshi looked at the short Ringo Ameyuri; her height hadn't changed at all.

When it speaks, you can see its white shark teeth.

It seems my teeth are just as good as they used to be.

From Kiyoshi's perspective, Ringo Ameyuri is just like a legal loli.

He looks young, but he's actually a bit older than Kiyoshi.

"Lord Hokage, we shall take our leave now."

Genma Shiranui and Ebisu said in unison.

"Go down."

Kiyoshi waved his hand.

People from other villages no longer face the same difficulties coming to Konoha as they used to.

He also gave the list to the ninja on duty, saying that if any of the people on the list came to Konoha, they could bring them directly to him.

For example, Lin Jiao Yuri, No Naiyu, etc.

Ordinary people are fine, but ninjas need to have an entry and exit permit to enter and exit.

"Is Mei Terumi vying for the title of Fifth Mizukage?"

Kiyoshi looked at Terumi Mei.

Mei Terumi becoming the Fifth Mizukage would be beneficial to him, and he could try to push things forward then.

"Yes, she's quite proactive."

Ringo Amori put down her heavy twin swords, walked familiarly to the window, stood on tiptoe, and looked down at the bustling crowd below.

The Reincarnation Festival in Konoha looked much grander than the Reincarnation Festival in Kirigakure, and Ringo Ameyuri could see many people performing.

"I heard that the Raikage of Kumogakure was imprisoned here for several years before returning home."

After watching for a while, Ringo Amuri sat back down on the high chair.

Because of her height, she had to straighten her ankles to touch the ground when she sat down.

When it's not fully extended, it's in a floating state.

Tender, white little feet, swaying back and forth.

"By the way, there's a guy in the village named Kaguya Kimimaro who idolizes you."

Ringo Ameyuri said as if she had just remembered something.

Her tone was full of sighs.

The once-glorious Kaguya clan has lost its mind and betrayed Kirigakure.

Kaguya Kimimaro, who was not involved in the violent suppression by Kirigakure some time ago, survived.

She became the only surviving member of the Kaguya clan.

"Kimimaro, I hope to see him in the Chunin Exams in a few years."

Seiji smiled.

This time, Kimimaro, under his influence, did not recognize Orochimaru.

Based on the current developments, it's very likely that he will come to Konoha along with the ninjas from Kirigakure during one of the Chunin Exams.

"Where is Akatsuki? Are they still active in the Land of Water?"

Qing Si inquired.

The Land of Water is ultimately too far from Konoha, so he couldn't possibly have access to much real-time intelligence.

"I didn't see it," Xiao immediately calmed down.

Lin Yuyu shook his head.

"Yeah."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

The Akatsuki organization last demonstrated the "Impure World Reincarnation Technique," and their recent period of infiltration will likely result in the emergence of even more powerful individuals through this technique.

Kiyoshi was not worried about this.

Too many miscellaneous fish, still just miscellaneous fish.

Even after being resurrected, Madara Uchiha's strength was not as great as it was in life.

"Why do you keep asking me questions? Aren't you going to offer me tea?"

Ringo Amori was unhappy.

She traveled a long way to get here, but Qing Si treated her like a tool.

"Thirsty?"

Kiyoshi quietly walked towards Ringo Ameyuri.

"I do have some divine water here that can quench your thirst and also enhance your strength."

As they spoke, Kiyoshi began forming hand seals in front of Ringo Ameyuri's surprised gaze.

……

"Xi Yan, what do you think about us buying a house in a more prosperous area?"

Moonlight Gale rested his head on his hands, looking much better than before, even his dark circles had faded.

The medicine given by Qing Si was very effective, and Gekko Hayate felt that he was almost indistinguishable from a normal person.

"It's better to wait."

Uzuki Yugao shook her head.

She turned her head to look at Moonlight Gale, whose eyes were full of hope and longing for the future, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

The reason Moonlight Gale recovered so quickly is because someone was carrying the burden for him.

When she thinks of Kiyoshi, Uzuki Yugao's eyes become inexplicably fixed.

Being a ninja is her profession; in ordinary times, she is just an ordinary person.

Even though Uzuki Yugao tells herself to separate her life from her work, she still recalls how she and Kiyoshi solved problems in a ninja-like way.

"That's true, money is a huge drain on resources."

Moonlight Gale nodded in deep agreement.

If you want to buy a house in a prime location in Konoha, you'll have to start at 10,000 ryo per square meter.

Such high cost necessitates storing them for a very long time.

"Besides, the Hokage has helped us so much, now is not the time to think about those things."

Uzuki Yugao spoke up.

"Indeed it is……"

Thinking of the Hokage who had helped them so much, Hayate Gekko felt very grateful.

If it weren't for Kiyoshi, he would probably be dead by now.

Bloodstain disease, in the past ninja world, regardless of the country, could only be alleviated, not completely cured.

This is the new medicine developed by the Hokage, which has such miraculous effects.

Seeing that Gekko Hayate looked understanding, Uzuki Yugao found it even harder to speak.
