Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Chapter 418 Kiyoshi's self-created Eight Gates Formation... The Ninth Gate!

My father's words are always so correct and absolute.

This is a conclusion reached by the weasel after a long period of observation.

He has yet to discover anything that his father cannot do.

Itachi is now a ninja, and he has heard about the New Akatsuki organization that roams the ninja world. He has also heard that their leader, Pain, calls himself a god.

But if we're talking about gods, Itachi thinks his father is more deserving of that title.

"come over."

Kiyoshi beckoned to Itachi.

Itachi approached upon hearing this.

Not long after, Kiyoshi showed a strange expression.

Could it be that Itachi inherited his Wood Release Kekkei Genkai?
No wonder he doesn't seem to lack chakra at all.

So, how is Itachi's talent in genjutsu now?

"Tea, please."

Uchiha Hazuki breathed a sigh of relief after Itachi came to her rescue, and she brought out two cups of tea from the kitchen.

One cup was given to Kiyoshi, and the other to Itachi.

"Thank you, Aunt Hazuki."

Itachi said.

"You're welcome."

Uchiha Hazuki covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her stiff body gradually returning to normal.

She was so surprised mainly because Kiyoshi's appearance was so sudden.

If they had received some prior information, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

"Itachi, how are you feeling after graduating early?"

Seemingly to ease the tension, Uchiha Hazuki inquired about Itachi's recent situation.

"Hmm, it's alright, but we haven't officially started any missions yet."

Itachi instinctively looked at Kiyoshi.

He was very curious about what kind of mission he would be carrying out for the first time.

"That's it."

Uchiha Hazuki nodded slightly.

The atmosphere inside the house gradually became calm and peaceful, like a warm family of three.

Just then, the doorknob turned, and the lock clicked open.

"Itachi, what are you doing at my house?"

Uchiha Izumi was taken aback.

She never expected to see Itachi right after school.

"Itachi is your friend, isn't it normal to visit a friend?"

Seeing Uchiha Izumi like this, Uchiha Hazuki couldn't help but ask a question.

"I……"

Uchiha Izumi stammered and didn't continue, only secretly glaring at Itachi with a pout.

"The two of them must have had a fight."

Qingsi said.

"Eh, Hokage-sama."

Izumi discovered that Kiyoshi was also here.

"It's been a long time, Izumi."

Kiyoshi raised his hand in greeting.

"Do you know each other?"

Uchiha Hazuki's heart sank to the bottom.

She was afraid that Uchiha Kiyoshi would take his anger out on Izumi.

"Yes, the Hokage is very kind to me."

Quan nodded emphatically.

Gentle yet powerful, no wonder she was the first Hokage of the Uchiha clan.

It is a blessing for everyone to have such a strong person.

"spring……"

Itachi looked at Izumi, who was clearly angry, but he didn't know how to coax the girl.

Because he had never seen his father, Kiyoshi, and mother, Mikoto, argue.

Mikoto never argued with Kiyoshi, so Itachi naturally assumed that normal male-female relationships were just like that—plain and natural.

However, ever since Itachi realized that his arrogance and his words had made Izumi angry and upset, he has been somewhat at a loss.

But he soon realized that Quan was still young and it was normal for him to have temper tantrums.

Besides, it was my own fault to begin with.

Therefore, Itachi wanted to apologize to Izumi.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault."

Itachi said those words honestly.

Quan was stunned for a moment.

He gave a soft hum and trotted into his room upstairs.

"This child..."

Uchiha Hazuki gave Kiyoshi and Itachi an apologetic smile.

"Quan, come down quickly, don't be so rude!"

Uchiha Hazuki called out several times, but there was no response.

"Let the children handle their own affairs."

Kiyoshi looked at Uchiha Hazuki, whose peach blossom eyes were lowered.

"Since Lord Kiyoshi has said so, then let them be."

Uchiha Hazuki spoke up.

"Itachi, an apology should come with a gift. A verbal apology has no cost."

Kiyoshi looked at Itachi.

Regardless, Itachi became his son in this life.

Sometimes, Kiyoshi would also try his best to fulfill his duties as a father and educate Itachi.

"Yes."

Itachi nodded deeply.

He kept his father's words in mind.

So what kind of spring should I give to make him happy?
"You have grasped the entry: [Entry: Educator (Blue)]".

[Entry: Educator (Blue)]

[Requirement achieved: Train Itachi to change his way of dealing with people.]

Progress: (Completed)

[Effect: You have more say with people younger than you, and your persuasiveness is increased by 40%.]

【Note: You can advance later. 】

Has your behavior towards others changed?

Looking at the newly appeared entry, Kiyoshi's gaze fell on Itachi, who was deep in thought.

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

This is quite interesting.

"I'll go upstairs and take a look."

After saying this, Qing Si closed the entry panel, got up and walked upwards.

Uchiha Hazuki hesitated, as if she wanted to say something.

Thinking of the surprise and joy that Izumi had felt when she met Kiyoshi, she swallowed back the words she wanted to say.

Bang bang.

Kiyoshi knocked gently on the door.

“It’s me, Izumi.”

Kiyoshi said.

"Hokage-sama?"

With a click, a crack appeared in the door of the spring, and a small head peeked out.

"How are you getting used to the one-tomoe Sharingan?"

Qingsi asked.

Previously, Uchiha Izumi had awakened the one-tomoe Sharingan, but her body couldn't handle it, causing her to fall into a coma and be taken to Konoha Hospital.

That was the treatment he gave to Uchiha Izumi.

"It's much better now, Hokage-sama."

Uchiha Izumi squeezed her pink little hand, delicate and cute, and her face, still slightly chubby, showed a resolute expression.

She learned from Kiyoshi, the Fourth Hokage, what was most important for a ninja.

At first she thought it was chakra, but later she understood.

For a ninja, the most important thing is physical strength!

At that time, Kiyoshi explained to her in simple terms that the Uchiha clan was a clan that used "Yin" Release techniques, and that the Sharingan was the representative of "Yin" Release.

This requires the power of "Yang" to balance it, and "Yang" is a manifestation of vitality.

Kiyoshi then told Izumi many tips on how to exercise.

Because of these tips, Izumi engaged in reasonable training.

Her physical abilities also quickly synchronized with her mental power, making her far superior in every aspect compared to her clansmen of the same age who had not yet awakened the Sharingan.

Izumi has basically mastered the Sharingan with its one tomoe.

"That's good. If anything happens next time, please let me know immediately."

As he spoke, Kiyoshi reached out and patted Izumi's head.

Izumi felt that Kiyoshi's hands were very large, wide, and gentle.

"However, there's no need for children to have such a serious argument when they have a conflict."

"I... understand, Hokage-sama."

Quan said.

She knew the Hokage was talking about Itachi.

Actually, she wasn't that angry; she just needed a way to save face.

"That's good."

Kiyoshi then chatted with Izumi for a while before leaving.

Izumi stared blankly at Kiyoshi's tall figure, thinking that if men were to choose a representative figure, it would definitely be someone as outstanding as the Hokage!

"Izumi isn't so angry anymore."

Kiyoshi spoke softly.

To establish a sophisticated image, one must continuously shape Izumi's persona through these details.

Over time, Izumi will also develop a sense of admiration for him.

Upon hearing this, Itachi's face lit up with joy.

"I'm leaving now, Hazuki-nee. See you next time."

Kiyoshi gave Uchiha Hazuki a meaningful look, then disappeared from the spot.

The art of flying thunder god!
Only after seeing that Kiyoshi had completely left did Uchiha Hazuki slowly regain her composure.

…………

Konoha streets.

Kiyoshi, who had left the Uchiha Hazuki family, appeared on the street.

He strolled casually through the streets, pondering which bloodline limit he should further develop.

As the Fourth Hokage, he was essentially a hands-off manager, only handling the most crucial political affairs.

However, that portion is only a tiny fraction compared to the overall volume of government affairs.

This also freed up a lot of Kiyoshi's free time.

For him, the position of Hokage was somewhat like a temporary post.

"Seiji!"

A man with thick eyebrows, a bowl cut, and wearing a green training uniform ran over with tears in his eyes.

"Mr. Dai."

Kiyoshi turned to look at Matt Dai.

Behind Might Guy was another ninja dressed in the same green training uniform, with a similar hairstyle and facial features.

It was Matt Dae's son, Matt Kee.

"You just finished a mission?"

Qingsi asked.

"Yes, we just got back not long ago."

Matt Day nodded.

"I can run into them here too! The spirit of youth is burning again!"

Might Guy noticed Kiyoshi chatting with Might Guy and immediately ran over energetically.

"By the way, can your Eight Gates technique open the Gate of Death now?"

"Matt Kai asked."

He had always been curious whether Kiyoshi could actually open the Gate of Death.

Although Kiyoshi also knew the "Eight Gates Formation," he rarely used this technique.

He himself has recently been able to vaguely sense the outline of the Death Gate.

If he were to abandon everything and pursue only a momentary burst of power, Might Guy believed he might be able to open the Gate of Death. But the price would be death.

So Mighty didn't try it either.

"I was able to open the Gate of Death quite early on."

Kiyoshi said.

He had long ago obtained Shennong's forbidden medical techniques such as "Medical Forbidden Techniques: Body Revitalization," "Medical Forbidden Techniques: Body Regeneration," and "Body Transformation."

Based on "physical activation" and "physical regeneration", and with the addition of "dark chakra", it is theoretically possible to reverse the cells in the body and achieve an instant rejuvenation of appearance.

It can also transform physical damage into regenerative enhancement, thereby granting the user an ultimate physical body and allowing them to directly and completely open all eight gates of the "Eight Gates Formation," maintaining immortality for an extended period.

However, Shennong's combination of techniques was only theoretically impressive.

Once the chakra points are sealed, one will age instantly, and even the so-called ultimate physical body will become a mortal.

Like floating on the water, it's fine if there are no waves, but if there are waves, the boat will capsize.

"!"

"Has his physical skill reached such a level?"

Matt Kai exclaimed.

He has only recently barely reached this level.

His father, Might Guy, had been practicing the Eight Gates for nearly thirty years, specializing in it and abandoning other techniques.

How long has Kiyoshi been practicing, and how much time has he spent on this technique, that he has already reached the point of opening the Gate of Death?

"Hahaha, Kiyoshi, I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

Might Guy made the same expression as Might Guy, immediately giving a thumbs up and revealing his shiny white teeth.

"Just some minor achievements."

Qingsi shook his head.

"How about we spar again tomorrow using physical skills? I'll take on both of you by myself."

Kiyoshi said.

He doesn't use powers like "Perfect Sage Mode" or the Sharingan; instead, he communicates purely using the "Eight Gates."

After discarding these numerical values, let's look at the understanding of "Eight Gates Formation".

The dead end is not necessarily the limit.

Shennong's approach was indeed correct.

However, when he maintains these techniques, he is easily interrupted, and accidents can happen.

Kiyoshi had an idea, and that was... lending!

You can seal the chakra or effects required for these techniques in advance, and then unseal them when you need to use them.

The principle of "Eight Gates" is to release the acupoints that restrict the flow of chakra in the human body.

The eight largest acupoints are called "gates".

Therefore, once all the acupoints are opened, the chakra will run wild in the body like a runaway horse, completely ignoring the side effects.

Under such circumstances, the caster can gain strength dozens of times greater than before.

However, while gaining power, the caster will suffer damage, so this technique is listed as one of the forbidden techniques.

Since the Eight Gates Formation is an explosion of the body's ultimate ability, the greater the power it unleashes, the greater the damage the body will inevitably suffer.

No matter how strong you become, you can only minimize the damage, not eliminate it completely.

However, the "Yin Seal" is a separate place for storing chakra.

Why can't the burning chakra and burning blood be stored in advance?
This way, the main body won't suffer too much damage when it's used.

In fact, if it were "Sage Chakra" that was burning, the effect would probably be much stronger.

The only thing to be aware of is that such a terrifying increase is difficult for the human body to withstand.

Even someone like Matt Ke, who has trained for decades, will experience muscle fiber rupture throughout his body after using seven doors.

Upon reaching the Gate of Death, the chakra in every cell is extracted, so afterward, it is directly carbonized into ash.

If cells are first activated by techniques such as "medical forbidden techniques and physical activation," their resilience and ability to restore qi and blood will be strengthened.

Then it continuously absorbs chakra from the "Yin Seal" and covers its entire body.

Even if interrupted, the flowing chakra will immediately cover the interruption, allowing the technique to continue.

The Qing officials referred to it as the Ninth Gate, or "Sealed Gate".

It means a door that uses the power of sealing techniques.

Of course, these actions require extremely high chakra control and chakra reserves.

On this point alone, 90% of the ninja world don't even qualify to learn it.

This idea is still in its early stages and needs to be tested and refined by Kiyoshi himself.

"The more interaction between young people, the better!"

"I'll be waiting for you tomorrow!"

Mighty and Mighty both happily accepted Kiyoshi's invitation.

……

The next day.

Kiyoki originally wanted to go find Might Guy and Might Day alone.

But to his surprise, Mikoto and Kushina came looking for him, bringing Sasuke and Naruto with them.

So Kiyoshi chose to take Naruto and Sasuke out first, and they arrived at the Forest of Death.

Kiyoshi felt there was something subtly off about the atmosphere between Mikoto and Kushina.

"Aren't battles between taijutsu ninjas boring?"

Naruto rested his hands behind his head, still preferring the various ninjutsu that looked particularly dazzling and magical.

"Hmph, idiot, taijutsu is the most important skill for all ninjas. When you don't have chakra, you can only rely on taijutsu."

"Ah... but I feel like I have a lot of chakra."

Naruto scratched his face, where three whisker marks remained—the effect of the tailed beast's chakra.

"..."

Sasuke was speechless.

After a cold snort, there was a deep-seated arrogance.

Naruto may have some talent, but his brain is just average.

He possessed a dojutsu that Naruto didn't have, and a pitiful barrier had already separated them!
"What's wrong with Sasuke?"

Naruto felt that Sasuke was giving him a strange look of pity.

"never mind."

Naruto didn't take it to heart. In his eyes, Sasuke was just like that, always acting crazy and trying to look cool.

"It's about to begin."

Naruto pointed to Kiyoshi, Might Guy, and Might Dai in front of him.

Sasuke then turned his gaze towards them.

In his heart, he had already decided who would win this battle.

My father is invincible!

……

"The battle of youth should begin with sunrise!"

Matt Kayle tugged at his green training jacket, revealing clearly defined muscles, and the bandages wrapped around his fists fluttered in the wind.

His eyes burned like fire, his lips curled up in a smile, and his whole being seemed to be glowing.

"Hahaha, Kiyoshi!"

Matt Dai stood with his hands behind his back, his whole body ramrod straight, his teeth gleaming in the sunlight.

"Today, I won't let the younger generation have a say; youth is invincible!"

"Mr. Dai, I hope you and your son will not hold back."

Kiyoshi smiled slightly and gently brushed the strands of hair from his forehead.

If we hold back, we won't be able to let him feel the urgency and excitement of the battle.

Kiyoshi wore a simple black undershirt, and the fitted clothes accentuated his tall and slender figure.

He was not carrying the ninja sword Black Scale, nor was he carrying a sealing scroll.

"Kai, let's go!"

"Yes, Dad!"

Mighty charged forward like a tiger, causing the ground to collapse and sending debris flying.

"Konoha Fluid Technique, Frontal Kick!"

His speed was so fast that it almost made the air explode.

Kiyoshi raised one hand and touched it lightly with his fingertips.

With a loud bang, his palm actually blocked Matt Kai's foot.

At the point where the foot and the ball of the foot collide, the air explodes, and the wind pressure stirs up a large cloud of dust.

"What!?"

Matthias's pupils constricted slightly.

Kiyoshi let out a soft breath and kicked out with his foot.

Kai was thrown into the air, doing several backflips before landing safely.

"So strong... He suppressed Kai's rhythm just with his reaction speed!"

An unprecedented fighting spirit ignited in Matt Day's heart.

With a stomp of his foot, the ground shattered as if struck by the claws of a ferocious beast.

He transformed into a green blur, hurtling straight at Kiyoshi's face.

The fist whistled through the air, compressing it powerfully and producing a sharp, explosive sound!

Kiyoshi neither dodged nor avoided, but turned around and stomped on the ground, his right fist also striking out.

boom!
A clash of fists!

The shockwave spread out from the two people, and dust surged like waves, creating a sand curtain several meters high.

"Konoha Tornado!!"

Matt Day's offensive came like a sudden downpour, his legs tumbling and rolling endlessly.

Kiyoshi's actions, however, were completely opposite.

With minimal movements, he dodged and parried, his fists and palms striking back as naturally as flowing water, his energy flowing smoothly.

He practiced "Soft Fist" and has a deep understanding of "softness".

Moreover, now that Kiyoshi possesses the Byakugan, it wouldn't be difficult for him to unleash the true power of the "Gentle Fist Technique."

Then, Kiyoshi's right hand reached out gently like flowing water and precisely placed on the side of Matt Dai's calf as he kicked, seemingly casually guiding and pulling.

Matt Day felt a subtle force strike him, causing him to lose his balance slightly, and his fierce attack was instantly neutralized.

"what?!"

Matt Day was startled and flipped backward to land.

"Your powerful fist is indeed the best in Konoha, but it would be best if you learned some gentle fist techniques to combine power and softness, otherwise your weaknesses will be too great."

Kiyoshi commented.

He possesses a vast amount of knowledge about both hard and soft boxing, and in terms of theory, he undoubtedly surpasses this father and son who only know how to bury themselves in hard training.

"Then try this, Konoha's Evil Rock Rising!"

Might Guy charged forward again, turning his leg into an elbow, his body spinning like a whirlwind, his elbow slamming down like a warhammer, with even greater power than before.

Qing Si remained calm and composed, moving lightly with the speed of a willow catkin, dodging the fierce attack at the last second.

At the same time, his left hand, with fingers pointing like a knife, silently aimed at Cain's slightly stiff ribs, which were already tense from exerting force.

"Dad, watch out!" Matt Kai's voice rang out just in time.

Matt Day twisted his body forcefully, narrowly avoiding the attack, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

Kiyoshi's every dodge and counterattack was terrifyingly precise, as if his every move could be predicted.

But when he looked into Kiyoshi's eyes, all he saw were dark pupils!
This means that Kiyoshi was simply using his normal perception and did not use his Sharingan.

"As expected of Kiyoshi..."

Matt Daly's fighting spirit was boiling.

"Kai, don't hold back, or we might lose badly."

Matt Day said solemnly.

"Yes, Dad."

Matt Kai nodded.

"Sixth Gate - Jing Gate, open!"

Might Guy knew he couldn't win in his normal state, so he roared and green steam gushed out, his momentum suddenly soaring!
"Seventh Gate - Gate of Shock, open!"

Without hesitation, Might Guy opened an even higher number of gates, and blue steam burst out. The terrifying chakra fluctuations made Naruto and Sasuke, who were in the distance, feel a chill.

"Father, are you really going to fight against such an opponent?"

Sasuke was incredulous, thinking to himself.

"His physical skills are this strong?"

Naruto, being outspoken and unable to keep secrets, blurted out what was on his mind.

On the field, Might Guy and Might Day, one green and one blue, rushed towards Kiyoshi from the left and right sides at the same time, like two shooting stars.

Fists and kicks clashed, each strike powerful enough to shatter stone tablets and break tree trunks. The grass churned and dust billowed as they attacked.

However, with just the slightest movement of his body, a tilt of his head, and a step, Kiyoshi managed to deflect countless deadly attacks by the narrowest of margins.

"Then, I'll start using Eight Gates too."

Qingsi said calmly.

He's about to increase the intensity.

Kiyoshi exhaled softly and said:

"Seventh Gate - Gate of Shock, open!"

His chakra was unleashed like a torrent, and blue steam billowed from his entire body.

That aura was far more exaggerated than that of Might Guy, who also opened all seven gates.

If Might Guy's body is enveloped in blue steam, then Kiyoshi's is like a pillar of light shooting into the sky!
