Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

"Wait, that woman is an Uchiha?"

Fugaku suddenly noticed that the woman who was talking to Kiyoshi also had the family crest of the Flame Fan on her body.

However, Fugaku, the clan leader, had no recollection of this woman.

"Is she a foreign woman who just happens to be wearing Qing Si's clothes?"

Fugaku stroked his chin.

When a woman from another ethnic group marries into the Uchiha clan, she will naturally change her surname to Uchiha and wear Uchiha clothing.

However, this woman had never appeared before, so it was impossible for her to be someone who married into the Uchiha clan.

Kiyoshi wouldn't be so hasty.

"Fugaku."

While Fugaku was pondering, Kiyoshi also noticed Fugaku.

So he walked over with Uchiha Hikaru.

Throughout the journey, Uchiha Hikaru kept looking at everything around him with curiosity.

These novel things really piqued her curiosity.

“From today onwards, she is also one of our people. Remember to tell the other members of the tribe to avoid any misunderstandings.”

Kiyoshi said.

"Are they also one of our people?"

Fugaku pondered Kiyoshi's words.

He looked at Uchiha Hikaru, puzzled.

Kiyoshi gave Uchiha Hikaru a look, and Uchiha Hikaru understood immediately.

Her eyes began to turn scarlet, and as they darted around, three tomoe appeared.

Sharingan!
Fugaku watched this scene in astonishment.

This proves that the woman in front of them is indeed a member of the Uchiha clan.

Otherwise, they would be like Kakashi, who had Obito's Sharingan transplanted into him, and would never be able to freely shut down their Sharingan.

"let's go."

After saying that, Kiyoshi led Uchiha Hikaru on a tour of the Uchiha settlement.

Fugaku was left watching the two figures disappear into the distance.

An Uchiha from outside?
Fugaku's expression turned somewhat interesting.

So much of the Uchiha bloodline has been leaked?
How did Kiyoshi find that new Uchiha?
…………

The capital city of the Land of Fire.

"You're too radical, Ma!"

Sarutobi Asuma frowned slightly.

He looked at his colleague, Kazuma, who was also one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja.

The entire Guardian Ninja Twelve are now showing signs of division, which are becoming increasingly apparent.

The two factions will not have any contact in private.

"Hmph, one 'jade' that needs protecting is enough."

Kazuma glanced at Sarutobi Asuma indifferently.

He insisted that the Hokage was an unnecessary position and believed that real power among ninjas should be held by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

It's not that he's particularly loyal, but rather that this is how he proves his own worth.

The largest source of ninjas in the entire Land of Fire comes from Konoha.

The others were all from small, insignificant families, much like wandering ninjas.

Even the villages that are established are not actually recognized.

A village without legal authority is naturally unable to obtain mission requests through normal channels and maintain the normal operation of the ninja village.

"Your Fourth Hokage was highly regarded by the Daimyo, but the next Daimyo may not be so."

He continued talking to Ma.

The current daimyo of the Land of Fire is too old.

Almost all those in power share a common goal: expansion.

Even though the Fourth Hokage, Uchiha Kiyoshi, gave the Daimyo some medicines to enhance his body, birth, aging, sickness, and death are still an unstoppable law.

Once the current daimyo dies of old age, the next generation of young and strong daimyo will not be so desperate to prolong their lives.

"The Hokage's strength is beyond your imagination."

Sarutobi Asuma shook his head and left Kazuma.

Not enough words to speculate.

Kiyoshi's strength is indeed formidable.

When a ninja becomes powerful enough, the only thing that can restrain him is his own morality.

“Dilu, I will be returning to the village for a while. During this time, you must be careful with Ma and the others.”

Sarutobi Asuma found the land of the Fire Temple.

"no problem."

Di Lu nodded slightly.

Like Sarutobi Asuma, he belonged to the conservative faction.

Hearing his friend's reply, Sarutobi Asuma felt a little relieved.

The thought of returning to his long-lost hometown somewhat eased Sarutobi Asuma's earlier unpleasant mood.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Hokage's office.

After a day of getting acquainted with Uchiha Hikaru, he had begun to remember some things.

Kiyoshi arranged for her to live in the same place as him, since her abilities were easily out of control, so Kiyoshi planned to arrange for her to live in front of him so that he could keep an eye on her.

"The news of the Cloud Hidden Alliance."

Kiyoshi looked at the intelligence report from his subordinates.

The above is an invitation from Yunyin.

They invited Kiyoshi to Kumogakure, hoping to establish deeper trade cooperation with Konoha.

It was clearly the "geothermal generator" that Kiyoshi left behind in the Land of Wind that caught their attention.

Ultimately, the climate in the Land of Lightning is also relatively harsh.

Everywhere was shrouded in mountain mist and canyons, with flashes of lightning like white pythons echoing through the valleys.

Kiyoshi lived there and experienced the climate there firsthand.

"Since coming to Konoha, I haven't been back to the Land of Lightning."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

He also has some of the blood of the Night Moon Clan flowing through his veins.

In other words, he could actually run for Raikage in Kumogakure.

If Kiyoshi hadn't done well in Konoha back then, he probably would have gone to Kumogakure to develop his career.

However, doing so would easily make one a stud.

If you go when you are weak, you will be controlled.

When you're powerful and have gained some influence in Konoha, going to Kumogakure is like starting all over again.

"We could take a look at the bloodline limits of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn clans."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

He has now developed many bloodline limits.

Kiyoshi plans to learn all the bloodline limits of the ninja world and integrate them into himself.

In this way, even without eating the "Chakra Fruit", he is essentially the same as the Otsutsuki in a certain sense.

Each different bloodline limit can actually be seen as a fragment of the Otsutsuki bloodline.

The difference lies in the percentage.

The stronger the bloodline limit, the greater the percentage.

The Uchiha, Senju, Hyuga, and Uzumaki clans are undoubtedly the closest in line to this.

That's why Naruto and Sasuke in the original work were able to level up so quickly.

"Hokage-sama."

Just then, a sound came from outside.

Kiyoshi looked up and saw that the people who came in were Samui and Atsui.

The current Atsui looks almost exactly like the original character, inheriting the same burly physique as the Cloud Village ninja, and has a red tattoo on his shoulder with the character "Hot" written on it.

"Any questions?"

Kiyoshi looked at the two siblings.

Atsui has been a spy in Konoha since he was a child, and now he has completely integrated into Konoha.

"I...I want to apply to become a Jonin."

Atsi said hesitantly.

His strength far surpassed that of ordinary special Jonin, possessing the strength of a Jonin.

However, becoming a Jonin requires not only strength but also seniority.

Young and impetuous, he naturally lacked sufficient experience.

"Applying to become a Jonin..."

Kiyoshi tapped his fingertips on the table.

"You can go back now. I understand about this. Go back and wait for further instructions."

Kiyoshi waved his hand.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Atsi left with a heavy heart, leaving Samui alone.

"Are you here to plead for your brother too?"

Kiyoshi looked at Samui standing in front of him.

He was sitting, while Samui was standing.

So, under the sunlight shining through the window, two huge shadows appeared on Kiyoshi's face.

Thanks to Kiyoshi's efforts, Samui is now almost on par with Tsunade.

The biggest difference between the two is the difference in their facial features.

Although both have blonde hair, Tsunade is a typical Eastern beauty.

Samui's features are more defined and three-dimensional, exuding an exotic charm.

Though separated by mountains and rivers, we share the same moon and sky.

Kiyoshi had been thinking about when he could discuss Konoha Fluid Technique with Tsunade and Samui.

The art of physical combat is endless. Kiyoshi has already created the "Ninth Gate of the Eight Gates Formation," but it still needs further refinement and optimization.

"Yes, we have this, but..."

As he spoke, Samui's indifferent eyes held a hint of sadness.

Unlike Atsui, Samui still harbors feelings for Kumogakure.

He has only stayed in Konoha due to the helplessness of reality.

"You want to go back to Cloud Village?"

Kiyoshi noticed the homesickness hidden in Samui's eyes.

So he beckoned Samui over.

Samui bit her full lips, and while she was thinking, she also came to Kiyoshi and was pulled into Kiyoshi's arms.

Her soft body pressed against his chest, the warmth seeping through her clothes.

Even through her clothes, I could feel her steady and strong heartbeat.

Soon, Kiyoshi could feel Samui's heartbeat quickening.

Looking down, one could see a thin blush spreading across Samui's pale face. Her breathing became rapid, and she struggled helplessly to break free, but froze because of Kiyoshi's identity.

"No... I just want to go back occasionally."

Samui shook his head repeatedly.

Returning to Yunyin and occasionally returning to Yunyin are two different concepts.

Kiyoshi smiled as he watched her busy explaining.

"As for Kumogakure, of course I can go back there. I'm also heading there anyway."

Qingsi said.

It's also a good opportunity to check on Yuzuki-man and the white-haired beauty, Mabui, whose skin is slightly darker.

Mabui is considered a secret technique of the Raikage, essentially an external brain.

Otherwise, with the Raikage's reckless mind, he might do a lot of stupid things.

The stronger one's body, the easier it is for one to control oneself.

Because hormonal responses in various aspects will also be enhanced, one can be affected without being careful.

Unless the corresponding spiritual energy cultivation also keeps up, this balance cannot be maintained.

Unfortunately, the Raikage didn't have a convenient "Yin" chakra representation like the Sharingan, which destined him to struggle to maintain balance.

"You're going to Kumogakure too?"

Samui was shocked.

"of course."

Qingsi nodded.

At this distance, he could still smell a faint fragrance emanating from Samui.

Immediately, Samui also sensed something at close range.

The air seemed to become scorching hot.

A few seconds later, she gave a soft "hmm," as if afraid of saying more.

"Go back. I'll give you my answer tonight, and while I'm at it, I'll also check if Atsui is qualified to be promoted to Jonin."

Kiyoshi released his grip, indicating that Samui could leave.

He has other things to do later.

"Yes, Lord Seiji."

Samui murmured softly, her fingers gripping the corner of the blanket tightly, her heart still pounding.

The wind outside the window gently stirred the curtains; Samui had already left.

Kiyoshi did not linger at the Hokage Building, but turned and left.

……

Mikoto's family.

The morning sunlight streamed through the shoji windows, casting dappled light and shadow on the tatami mats. Mikoto was bending over, cleaning the house, her movements with the mop as meticulous as ever.

But if you look closely, you can tell that she wipes with a little force each time, as if she is unconsciously venting something.

Her mind had been unsettled since early morning.

On the table, a family notice sent by Fugaku to the entire clan lay quietly.

That was a routine announcement from the Uchiha clan.

The text above states that a new member has joined the clan.

Logically, this should be good news.

The Uchiha bloodline has returned to a branch, symbolizing the continuation of the clan's power.

I heard that the new clan member is a woman with three-tomoe Sharingan and is at least a Jonin level in strength, which is extremely rare in the clan.

It's a happy event.

Logically, I should be happy.

This is such a wonderful thing...

But Mikoto's hand stopped when it touched the notice.

Because Fugaku also explained the process in detail, and that the new female clansmen were personally brought back by Kiyoshi.

Her heart felt as if it had been gently tugged by something.

Mikoto was stunned.

Kiyoshi...the woman he brought back?
She blinked, her eyes slightly dazed, as if she hadn't understood.

The next second, her hand trembled slightly.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

It's a good thing that the Uchiha clan can welcome back their scattered bloodlines.

She understood that.

Kiyoshi, as the Fourth Hokage, wields great power and responsibility. It is only natural for him to encounter his clansmen who had been living away from home and bring them back to the village.

Her rational mind understood all of this.

but……

The phrases "female tribespeople" and "personally brought back" echoed in her mind like deliberately magnified details.

Kiyoshi, when did you get back?

He never said he was going to pick someone up.

He didn't even tell her when he was leaving the village.

She suddenly felt a little stuffy.

The feeling wasn't pain, but rather a very light sensation that made my chest feel tight.

She put down the mop, stood up, and walked to the window.

Sunlight shone on her profile, dividing her beautiful face in two.

Half of it is bathed in light, and half of it is hidden in shadow.

"Qingji..."

Mikoto murmured softly.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Kiyoshi.

She was just scared.

That fear didn't stem from doubt, but from a deep-seated possessiveness.

She had loved Kiyoshi for far too long.

That love was too tender, and too deep.

She was willing to wait for his return every time, and was willing to quietly cook, take care of the children, and tidy up the house.

But precisely because of this, she cannot bear even the slightest possibility of being "shared".

Kushina is one thing, since she's a close friend.

But why is there another person now?

Where did Kiyoshi bring the woman back from?
Does he often use the "Flying Thunder God Technique" when he goes out?

All these doubts piled up in Mikoto's mind.

"Mother?"

The childish voice interrupted her thoughts.

Sasuke also wanted to ask his mother when she would take him to see his father, because his father had said he would go to Mount Myōboku to choose a powerful summoning beast for him.

But the next second, Sasuke noticed that his mother's expression had become somewhat... frightening.

Her face, which usually wore a gentle smile, now showed a hint of coldness; her brows were slightly furrowed and her lips were tightly pressed together.

It gave Sasuke a sense of unease.

This is the expression on the mother's face, indicating that she is unhappy.

The person gives off a feeling that you should stay away from them.

"Sasuke, if there's anything you need to do, go find your brother first."

“...Yes, Mother.”

Sasuke subconsciously held his breath, nodded obediently, and practically tiptoed away from the oppressive atmosphere that made him uneasy.

The sliding door closed gently behind him, and he stood under the eaves, only then letting out a quiet sigh of relief.

Now, Itachi, the older brother, has gone to carry out a mission.

"Go see what Naruto is up to."

Sasuke put his hands in his pockets.

After much thought, Sasuke was shocked to realize that, apart from Itachi, he was the only one left.

Naruto is actually my best friend?

"Hmm... never mind, let's go wait for my brother at the place where he usually trains."

Sasuke thought to himself.

He doesn't want to see Naruto right now.

Naruto is probably showing off his new summon right now.

Sasuke plans to wait until he has a summoning beast before going to see Naruto.

Otherwise, Sasuke would feel like he's being overshadowed by Naruto, and he hates that feeling.

……

Not long after Sasuke left, Mikoto, still feeling uneasy, picked up the mop again and finished cleaning.

"Mikoto."

A voice came from behind.

"Kiyoshi, you...you've come."

The familiar voice sounded behind her, causing her to pause, somewhat surprised and delighted.

She turned around, trying her best to put on her usual gentle smile:

"Kiyoshi, you...you've come."

However, when her gaze passed over Kiyoshi's shoulder and fell upon the unfamiliar, young, and slender figure behind him,
The curve of her lips subtly faded, and her voice unconsciously lowered.

Uchiha Hikaru was standing behind Kiyoshi.

She was a woman with delicate features.

Her skin was fair, her expression serene, and her jet-black hair fell smoothly over her shoulders.

She stood quietly behind Qing Si, her eyes as calm as a lake, without a trace of panic.

It gives people the feeling of... a tool.

"She is our new clansman, Uchiha Hikaru."

Kiyoshi explained.

"Hello."

Mikoto's voice was devoid of emotion; only her dark eyes revealed a hint of crimson.

"Hello."

Uchiha Hikaru responded.

"She also activated the kaleidoscope."

Kiyoshi continued speaking.

"!"

Mikoto looked at Uchiha Hikaru's face.

Her gaze fell on Uchiha Hikaru's face. Although she tried to appear calm, she couldn't help but scrutinize him.

She knew very well how difficult it was to open the kaleidoscope.

This woman has also activated the kaleidoscope?
Mikoto looked closely at Uchiha Hikaru's face; what a beautiful and youthful face she had.

The skin is firm and full of youthful vitality.

Mikoto's fingertips tightened, and a slight stinging sensation came from her palm.

She had to admit that Uchiha Hikaru was very good-looking.

At this moment, Mikoto felt a strong sense of crisis regarding her position as the primary wife.

Because she was older than Kiyoshi, Mikoto felt somewhat inferior and indebted.

Now we see a woman who is just as young as Kiyoshi and also possesses a kaleidoscope.

The alarm bells in her heart kept ringing.

"I see... Please have a seat."

As her thoughts raced, she returned to the kitchen to make tea.

The aroma of tea rose, reflecting the steam, making Mikoto's expression somewhat blurred.

Soon after, she returned with a tea tray.

The teacup landed gently on the wooden table, making a crisp sound.

She sat down next to Qing Si, subtly moving closer to him, seemingly implying her dominance.

Hikaru Uchiha was unaware of all these intricacies.

She knelt quietly opposite her, her posture somewhat stiff, as if she wasn't used to this kind of everyday interaction.

Despite her youthful appearance, she is actually a centenarian.

Having always been used as a weapon in war, her emotions were far more detached than those of ordinary people, and her psychological age was more naive, making her completely unable to understand the undercurrents beneath Mikoto's actions.

"Mikoto, I came here because I wanted you and Hikaru to have a sparring match."

Kiyoshi said.

He wanted to see how Uchiha Hikaru performed in actual combat.

I also want to see if I can replicate Misaka's eye technique, and collect some data along the way.

His gaze shifted to the space between the two.

"I?"

Mikoto's eyelashes trembled slightly.

After thinking for a moment, Mikoto said:
"I see."

She also wanted to see what this woman was capable of.

"You don't have any objections, do you, Guang?"

Kiyoshi turned to look at Uchiha Hikaru.

"No."

Uchiha Hikaru shook his head.

The Qing official has the highest authority, and one must obey him.

She decided to follow Kiyoshi and find out what she wanted to do.

"Then I'll take you there."

Kiyoshi touched Uchiha Hikaru and Mikoto with his hands.

The three figures appeared in another location.

……

Inside the Uchiha clan's private training grounds.

The area was surrounded by tall wooden stakes and targets, with traces of shuriken practice scattered on the ground.

In the arena, two women from the Uchiha clan stood facing each other.

Mikoto had changed out of her home kimono, her long black hair tied back, and put on a dark ninja outfit that allowed her to move around easily, which accentuated her mature and voluptuous figure.

Opposite her, Uchiha Hikari was still wearing her slightly old-fashioned trench coat, standing there quietly.

Her beautiful face remained expressionless, though she didn't understand why they suddenly wanted to spar.

But she only needs to execute the commands.

"let's start."

Kiyoshi spoke after seeing that the two were almost ready.

The moment the words fell, Mikoto's figure blurred, and in the next instant she was close to Uchiha Hikaru.

After gathering chakra in her palm, Mikoto delivered a karate chop to the side of Uchiha Hikaru's neck.

Uchiha Hikari's reaction was somewhat hasty; she seemed to be unskilled in close combat and instinctively raised her arm to block.

boom!
A dull thud resounded, and Uchiha Hikaru was forced to slide back half a step by the force of the impact.

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, as if she hadn't expected Mikoto's chakra control to be so good, greatly amplifying her strength.

Then, the two women continued to change their movements and fight.

In the beginning, everyone held back.

The fighting then became increasingly intense.

Kiyoshi stood behind them, watching the battle unfold, quietly appreciating it.

Sometimes, the battles between women can be quite entertaining.

Soon, the situation on the field changed.

Uchiha Hikaru's movements were clean and efficient, without any unnecessary frills.

She crouched low to dodge, and at the same time, grabbed Mikoto's arm and struck her side with her elbow.

"drink!"

Mikoto let out a low shout, blocked the attack with her backhand, and her fingertips flowed with chakra to intercept the heavy blow.

boom!
Both of them took half a step back at the same time.

After a brief separation, Mikoto gave the other party no chance to catch her breath and reached into her ninja tool pouch with both hands.

shhhhhh!
Several shurikens shot out, their cold light flashing.

From different angles and with different rotational trajectories, it enveloped Uchiha Hikaru's vital points!

This is precisely the "Shurikenjutsu" that the Uchiha clan is so proud of. (End of Chapter)
