Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

"Tsunade-sensei, your heart is beating so fast."

Kiyoshi said.

Even through the thick layer of fat, Kiyoshi could feel the heartbeat.

dong dong dong...

It rang softly in the quiet room.

Outside, the rain was pouring down, and even the glass windows became fogged up and covered with moisture.

Why do you think my heart is beating so fast?

Tsunade countered with a question.

"Hmm... I don't know about that."

Kiyoshi smiled, pretending not to know anything.

His hand rested on Tsunade's flat stomach.

Tsunade can be described as a strong and robust woman.

Tsunade's mastery of physical techniques makes her body far stronger than that of ordinary people.

It's just that it's not enough to face a monster like Kiyoshi.

In the original work, even without using chakra, a casual punch could kill someone.

In addition, Tsunade's fist has "super strength" and her legs have "Painful Heaven Kick", so it can be said that every part of her body is trained.

"Humph."

Tsunade gave a soft hum.

A blush, like that of a young woman, appeared on her usually dashing face.

Kiyoshi watched this scene quietly.

Tsunade is usually decisive and efficient, and rarely shows this side of herself.

I doubt even Kato Dan had ever seen Tsunade look like this.

After all, the two had only spent a short time together, and they were in a time of war where death could come at any moment.

"Wait a minute."

Tsunade foresaw what would happen next.

She took a deep breath and gently pushed Kiyoshi away.

Bending over, the light blue capri pants immediately hugged her thighs, revealing her long, slender legs.

Click.

Tsunade unbuttoned her shoes, revealing her jade-like feet painted with red nail polish.

Her fair soles touched the ground, and she took off her tea-green coat, leaving her only in a light gray sleeveless top.

"I'm going to the bathroom for a bit, you wait for me here."

Tsunade exhaled a breath of hot air, her breath carrying only a faint aroma of sake.

The chakra had already broken down much of the alcohol in her body, so Tsunade was only having a small sip now.

"it is good."

Qingsi nodded.

After Tsunade went inside, Kiyoshi formed hand seals and slapped the ground.

bang...

A pale white mist spread out, revealing the most mature of the three Snake Princesses, Tsuratsuhime.

"Lord Seiji."

After signing a blood pact with Kiyoshi, Princess Tsuratsu also corrected her identity.

"There might be small bugs coming from behind, remember to block them and don't let anyone disturb me."

Qingsi spoke lightly.

Then he placed his hand on Tsutsuhime's shoulder, and his "Sage Chakra" surged into her body.

Princess Tsuratsu's eyes widened.

This is... this is such a vast and pure "Sage Chakra"...

The moment she realized it, Princess Tsuratsu understood one thing.

Even if she spent her entire life, she could never reach that level.

Even the White Snake Immortal wouldn't be able to do it.

Is this the "new immortal technique" that combines the strengths of all the world's "immortal arts"?

“If you work for me, I may well reward you with such power.”

Qingsi said calmly.

His current "perfect immortal mode" is difficult for others to learn unless he personally teaches it to them.

However, the chakra granted is only for one time, just like the "Six Paths Power" that the Sage of Six Paths gave to Naruto and Sasuke. Once it's used up, it's gone.

Unless a solution is found.

However, even though the weakened and improved version is still very difficult, it will be much easier to train if you have experienced the feeling of "Sage Chakra" in advance.

"Yes, Lord Seiji!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Tsurugi took a few quick breaths, and her voice became more sincere.

Qingsi nodded.

If you want your subordinates to get things done, you naturally have to reward them.

However, what Princess Tsuruzu didn't know was that Kiyoshi's "Sage Techniques" contained the power of his curse seal.

Once planted, it will also be bound by a curse mark.

Unless her chakra can surpass Kiyoshi's.

"Go."

Kiyoshi waved his hand.

"Yes."

Princess Tsurugi bowed, her pale red sash accentuating her slender waist, truly making her a literal snake-waisted beauty.

Her figure quickly transformed into a pale red snake, flicking its tongue as it pushed open the window and disappeared into the torrential rain outside.

As she shook, the snake's body grew larger and larger, gradually moving through the air like a dragon.

But her figure grew fainter and fainter until she disappeared completely, and even the torrential rain couldn't touch her.

This is Princess Tsurutsu's ability: she can levitate freely in the air and make herself invisible.

It can also cast illusions, rendering opponents unable to move and causing them to hallucinate.

After Princess Tsurugi left, Kiyoshi waited quietly.

Before long, Tsunade pushed open the misty bathroom door.

She was wrapped in a white bath towel, which revealed her voluptuous curves.

Who just came?

Tsunade asked.

She could hear a woman's voice outside just now.

"I summoned a spirit beast and had her keep watch over the surroundings."

Kiyoshi said.

"That's true, after all, this is Cloud Village's territory."

Tsunade nodded; it was better to be cautious in Kumogakure.

"I'm going to wash up too."

Kiyoshi said.

He then went into the bathroom.

A moment later, when Kiyoshi came out, Tsunade was already lying on the bed, covered with a blanket, with only her two snow-white arms showing.

Her blonde hair still had a bit of moisture on it, giving her the look of a beauty who had just emerged from a bath.

Kiyoshi walked forward, and there was a damp bath towel on the ground.

Then he crawled inside and hugged Tsunade.

The rain outside intensified, accompanied by occasional rumbles of thunder.

The thunder rumbled in rapid succession, carrying a certain rhythm.

"The weather in Kumogakure is truly terrifying."

Jingyin looked out the window and thought to herself.

No wonder the Land of Thunder has the character "Thunder" in its name; there's definitely a reason for it.

The constant thunder shook the house.

"I wonder if the people living here will have any hearing problems?"

"Silence thought to itself."

"Sigh, never mind, now is not the time to think about these things."

Silent head shake.

If only TunTun were here right now.

When she's feeling down, Shizune likes to hug Tun-Tun and stroke her soft body, just like petting a cat.

Shizune began to miss the pink pig, but when doing missions, she couldn't bring along a useless burden.

This is for the sake of our companions, and also for the sake of the dolphins.

Boom!

Another thunderbolt struck, and Jingyin went to get a glass of water to drink.

She hoped the thunder would be quieter in the middle of the night.

Ninjas are naturally sensitive to sound, so if there's continuous thunder, they probably won't get a good night's sleep tonight.

Hikaru Uchiha, who lived next door, had the same idea.

The Uchiha clan once sent members to the Land of Lightning to expel and guard the Blood Pond clan, but Uchiha Hikaru did not participate in such a mission.

Therefore, she was not used to the environment here.

"What is Lord Qing Si doing now?"

she thought.

Bored, Uchiha Hikaru began counting the number of thunderclaps from the churning thunderclouds outside.

If possible, she never wants to come to the Land of Lightning again.

In the past, as a weapon of war, she, with her detached emotions, wouldn't have had so many thoughts.

However, she gained an unprecedented sense of freedom from Kiyoshi, and could freely allocate her time except when carrying out missions.

This is completely different from the situation in the Warring States period, where people spent their days in prison except for their duties.

The prison had only one unchanging scene: dim, flickering oil lamps, walls covered in green moss, and damp air.

Only the occasional rat that crawls by can amuse Uchiha Hikaru and give him something different to look at.

After arriving in Konoha, Uchiha Hikaru's entire world seemed to suddenly gain color, separating it from the gray Warring States period of the past.

Lord Kiyoshi brought her... light.

…………

"It should be right here."

Meanwhile, Orochimaru and Kato Dan also successfully infiltrated Kumogakure.

Orochimaru used various methods to interrogate the Cloud Village ninja and obtain the location of Kiyoshi and the others.

"Konoha and Kumogakure trade? Come to think of it, Kiyoshi-kun becoming Hokage was definitely the right thing to do."

Orochimaru spoke.

If he hadn't defected yet, he would probably have tacitly accepted it.

Whether it's his skill or his ability, Kiyoshi is qualified to take the position.

Under Kiyoshi's leadership, Konoha was thriving.

Most importantly, Kiyoshi did not have the limited thinking of previous Hokage; in some aspects, his thinking even overlapped with Orochimaru's.

Both men were men who walked the path of science, rather than rigidly relying on chakra and traditional thinking.

"Hokage..."

Kato paused slightly in his steps.

Once upon a time, he also dreamed of becoming Hokage.

It's best not to mention it now.

"It's just ahead."

As Kato Dan was about to go in, his brow furrowed slightly.

He instinctively felt that something was wrong.

There seemed to be prying eyes in the air.

But there was no one here.

Orochimaru, don't you sense something's wrong?

Kato Dan asked.

"A little."

Orochimaru sensed it too.

Both of them had experienced many battles and had encountered ninjas with the "Transparent" technique.

They are very sensitive to line of sight.

Wow...

Two scratches appeared on Kato's neck, tearing out pieces of paper that looked like mud.

"There's an attack!"

Kato Dan was startled.

Fortunately, since he was already in the impure world, he could not feel physical pain.

He suddenly picked up the kunai and thrust it forward.

boom!
A series of brilliant sparks burst in the air, disappearing in a flash with the rain.

"Not human."

Kato Dan confirmed the information based on the feeling he had sensed.

That feeling wasn't like slicing through armor or an opponent's weapon, but rather like slicing through a series of scales. "Looks like there's a summoned beast."

Orochimaru stuck out his long, thin tongue, and many venomous snakes emerged from his sleeve.

Latent Shadow Snake Hand!

Since we can't see it, let's expand the scope of our data collection.

These venomous snakes spread through the air like an open net, covering what lay ahead.

Based on the area covered, Orochimaru and Kato Dan could vaguely make out the outline of a giant snake.

"You found out, Orochimaru."

The figure of Tsuratsuhime gradually disappeared from hiding.

"Hime Tsuratsu!"

Orochimaru's pupils shrank.

The three snake princesses of Ryuchi Cave never make contracts with people, so how did they end up here?

Could it be that they have already signed a blood pact with Kiyoshi?
Have the other two Cassiopeia arrived yet?
What is the White Snake Immortal's attitude?

Orochimaru frowned. If the three Snake Princesses blocked their way, their infiltration operation would be considered a failure, and Kiyoshi would definitely discover the commotion.

"What should we do, Orochimaru?"

Kato frowned.

He could hear faint footsteps, and someone walking on the roof.

It must be the ninjas patrolling in the Hidden Cloud Village who discovered the commotion and are rushing over.

"Quick victory."

Orochimaru formed hand seals and threw out a series of shuriken.

The shuriken split rapidly in mid-air, turning into a dense array of shuriken shadows in the blink of an eye.

Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!

As Orochimaru unleashed this ninjutsu to block the path of the Flood Princess, he lay on the ground again, his mouth splitting open in an exaggerated arc, spitting out countless venomous snakes.

The Formation of Ten Thousand Serpents!
Orochimaru launched attacks from both above and below ground immediately.

Kato Dan wasn't idle either; he planned to immediately use the "Spirit Transformation Technique" to crush Princess Tsurugi's spirit from within.

Since the impure body is indestructible, Kato Dan doesn't need to consider how his body might be damaged during the war.

The only thing to worry about is being sealed away.

Whoosh whoosh!
The numerous shuriken that split off struck Princess Tsutsu's serpentine body, embedding themselves deeply within it.

As Princess Tsuratsu landed from the sky, she was immediately attacked by countless venomous snakes.

Then, the illusory soul of Kato Dan rushed out and entered the consciousness of Tsurugi Hime.

Just as he was about to break through Princess Tsuratsu's spirit, the scenery before him shattered like glass.

Click!

Kato looked at what was in front of him in a daze.

He looked down; a large hole had been pierced through his chest.

Isn't he currently inside Tadatsuhime's mind?
Why did you suddenly stop standing there?
"We've fallen under an illusion spell, stop."

Orochimaru's expression was grim.

It's an illusion again...

Despite his profound mastery of illusion techniques, he was still somewhat outmatched by these opponents with unique talents in illusion.

Is this a bloodline limit or talent?

"Illusion?"

The large hole in Kato's broken chest is gradually healing.

But there was a sense of heaviness on my body.

They've been cursed!
"This is my unique 'immortal technique'."

Princess Tsurugi smiled and transformed into human form. Her beautiful face revealed two fangs as she smiled.

That's where snakes inject venom.

The three snake princesses of Ryuchi Cave each possess unique abilities, similar to bloodline limits.

Her ability is to use "Sage Chakra" to cast illusions and "Sage Art: Binding".

Princess Tashin's technique is "Sage Art: Transformation of Objects," while Princess Ichikishima can use "Sage Art: Absorption."

This is also an important reason why the three of them were able to stand out among many snakes and become high-ranking members of Ryuchi Cave, below the White Snake Immortal.

"Your 'immortal arts' shouldn't be that powerful."

Orochimaru frowned.

How could Princess Tsutsu possess such powerful "Sage Chakra"?
Has she made any breakthroughs in her abilities?

"That's beyond your comprehension."

Princess Tsurutsu had no desire to explain to Orochimaru.

In her view, Orochimaru was a mediocre person who was completely ignorant of "sage techniques".

Unable to comprehend the legacy of Ryuchi Cave, they were simply lucky enough to create a counterfeit spell that could absorb natural energy through imitation.

"who are you?"

Yukito arrived at the scene immediately with a group of Cloud Hidden Anbu members.

"I am the summoned beast contracted by Lord Kiyoshi."

Tuanjin-hime spoke first, declaring her allegiance.

Yuzuki frowned slightly upon hearing the name Kiyoshi. She had just seen a large snake from a great distance, but now the snake had transformed into a woman.

She thought of the white snake that Kiyoshi used to summon from time to time, and realized that Uchiha Kiyoshi had a fondness for snake-type summoned creatures.

So Yugito turned his attention to Dan Kato and Orochimaru.

None of the Cloud Ninja could have a large hole in their chest and recover so quickly.

Moreover, this performance is very much in line with the "Impure World Reincarnation Technique" that has recently begun to emerge in the ninja world.

"What are your ninja numbers?"

Yugito shouted at Kato Dan and Orochimaru.

Each ninja has a ninja number, which serves as a kind of internal identification code.

"It seems we can't get through today. Time to cut off."

Orochimaru's skin became even paler.

That was the original skin color of this body. He had long ago used the "Reincarnation Technique" to occupy the body of a White Zetsu.

The street beneath Orochimaru's feet seemed to become a water surface, with undulating mud.

He blended in.

The art of levitation!

"Broken, grab my hand."

Orochimaru said to Kato Dan.

Kato Dan's current state is not that of a living person, but more like a dead object that can move.

Therefore, the "Ephemeral Technique" can also be used to take him along.

He could barely manage to do that with his chakra control.

Kato nodded.

Naturally, the teak girl couldn't just watch the two leave. After forming a hand seal, she opened her mouth and spat out a dark blue fireball that flew out swiftly.

Fire rat jade!
Both Orochimaru and Dan Kato chose to take the attack head-on.

For ordinary people, Yukiman's "Fire Rat Jade" would either kill them or severely injure them.

Both of them had strong survival abilities. After taking this blow head-on, both Kato Dan and Orochimaru had most of their bodies burned away.

But they also managed to buy themselves some time.

Before Yugito could unleash another ninjutsu, and before a barrage of lightning-style ninjutsu from the Cloud Village's Anbu could attack, they had already moved deep into the earth.

The roar of ninjutsu echoed from the ground.

Orochimaru quickly led Kato Dan away to a safe place.

"Damn it, they got away."

A dark blue, burning tail has emerged from behind Yugito's waist, borrowing the power of the tailed beast.

"Send men to pursue them immediately."

Yugito said to the Cloud Hidden Anbu beside him.

She glanced at Tsuratsuhime, but ultimately said nothing.

Soon, Yugito and the others left, while Tsuratsuhime stood still.

Her figure gradually disappeared as she continued her guard duty.

When Tsuratsuhime was first summoned, she also sensed the presence of another woman.

Therefore, she wisely chose not to report back, but instead remained where she was.

Fortunately, the "Sage Chakra" that Kiyoshi inputted allowed her to gain a great deal of insight.

Princess Tsurugi was hoping Kiyoshi would drink more so that she could leave the other two Snake Princesses far behind!

Uchiha Hikaru and Shizune also sensed the commotion.

However, the commotion was quickly quelled.

The two had not received any orders from Kiyoshi and could not leave, so they could only stay in the room.

…………

It wasn't until midnight that Kato Dan and Orochimaru finally reached a safe place.

In a misty canyon, Orochimaru emerged halfway out of the soil.

White Zetsu possesses regenerative abilities far exceeding those of normal ninjas, and his wounds are gradually healing.

Wow...

Orochimaru's mouth split open, and two hands reached out from it, grabbing his upper and lower lips and pulling them outwards.

A new, wet Orochimaru emerged from his mouth, the previous body now resembling a piece of skin, which Orochimaru tossed onto the ground.

Orochi Style Substitution Technique!

"Thank goodness it's this body."

Compared to Orochimaru's disheveled state, Kato Dan had fully recovered.

If he weren't in an impure body, he would probably have died the same way he did in life, dying from the loss of many internal organs.

"It seems unlikely that we'll be able to get in a second time."

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth.

The Hidden Cloud Village has definitely strengthened its defenses now, so even with the "Disillusionment Technique," it won't be easy to sneak in.

"I'll use the 'Spirit Transformation Technique' to go in once things calm down a bit."

Kato concluded.

Orochimaru nodded; this was the only option now.

He felt a little regretful that he wouldn't be able to see what kind of expression Kato Dan would have when he met Tsunade and Kiyoshi.

The two continued walking and found a safe cave to rest for the time being.

…………

Another place.

"Use the 'Shadow Seal'."

Kiyoshi said.

The "Yin Seal" can release chakra, allowing Tsunade's chakra to begin to recover, and her healing ability, stamina, and other abilities will greatly increase.

However, after activation, it takes some time to recharge and store chakra.

Even so, this technique can play a significant role in crucial moments.

It's just a bit difficult; very few ninjas can learn it.

"What do you mean?"

Tsunade gritted her teeth and glared at Kiyoshi, her expression carrying a hint of feminine allure.

That wretched brat, how dare he look down on her!

She was determined to show Kiyoshi who the real teacher was!

The next moment, black, seal-like patterns appeared on her face, crisscrossing and spreading to other areas.

Kiyoshi's gaze sharpened, and he began to exert some of his true strength as well.

……

The thunderclouds over Kumogakure had dissipated at some point, replaced by a clear blue sky.

Tsunade slightly opened her eyes; the curtains had already been drawn.

She could only tell from the light streaming in that it was a sunny day outside.

Are you going to continue your discussions with Yunyin today?

Tsunade turned her head to look at Kiyoshi.

She noticed that Kiyoshi had woken up very early.

However, Kiyoshi did not respond to Tsunade's words.

Kiyoshi covered his right eye, and a wave of chakra emanated from his body.

"This is... the eye power of the Uchiha clan?"

Tsunade seemed to have a sudden realization.

She looked at Kiyoshi with some concern, Tsunade not understanding why such a change had occurred in Kiyoshi.

Is this good or bad?
Tsunade was unsure of herself, but she didn't dare to disturb Seiji. She just quietly watched Seiji, a faint green light appearing in her palm.

If Kiyoshi shows any bad signs, she will treat him!
Even though... there is blood!

Tsunade made up her mind.

Even if it means performing surgery on Kiyoshi now, she will grit her teeth and persevere.

She developed hemophobia due to a series of blows, because she was afraid of blood because of the shadow of war.

But now, Tsunade has a reason she absolutely must do it.

She wouldn't allow anything to happen to this brat!
Kiyoshi could sense Tsunade's tension, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it.

Because Kiyoshi knew that his right eye was about to open! (End of Chapter)
