Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

"The Child of Prophecy?!"

Fukasaku and Shima both gasped in shock.

They knew what the Great Toad Sage meant by the prophesied child; it was usually a key figure concerning the fate of the entire ninja world.

However, they had also heard Jiraiya say that, based on his observations, Uchiha Kiyoshi was very likely also the Child of Prophecy.

If Sasuke is a descendant of Uchiha Kiyoshi, then what would Uchiha Kiyoshi's identity be?
The father of prophecy?

Or has the identity of the prophesied child been transferred to Sasuke?
Fukasaku and Shima had many questions they wanted the Great Toad Sage to answer.

The Great Toad Sage seemed to have fallen into a half-dreaming, half-awake state again, his voice becoming even more ethereal:
"Young Uchiha... your choice... your love and hate... will intertwine with that of another prophetic child..."

"Together we face...the impending...destruction and rebirth..."

"There is more than one path to peace; the key lies in... your choice..."

However, before Fukasaku and Shima could ask anything, the Great Toad Sage seemed to have exhausted its strength, slowly closed its eyes, stopped speaking, and sank back into its long dream.

He is too old.

They are arguably among the longest-lived beings in the ninja world, and their energy is not what it used to be.

Sasuke was completely stunned. He blinked his large, dark eyes, looked at Kiyoshi with confusion, and asked:
"...What is the Child of Prophecy?"

His little mind couldn't fully grasp the weighty significance behind that word.

"They are the kind of people who can change the world."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin, thinking to himself.

Therefore, the criterion for determining the child of prophecy is actually "strength".

The stronger they become in the future, the more likely they are to bring about change to the ninja world; they are what is known as the Child of Prophecy.

The Sage of Six Paths himself did not have the ability to prophesy. The time when he made the prophetic agreement with the nine tailed beasts was also because of the Great Toad Sage's prophecy.

In other words, the Great Toad Sage has all the rights to interpret the prophecy.

Fukasaku took a deep breath, his gaze towards Kiyoshi and Sasuke becoming incredibly complex.

"The lord's prophecies have never been wrong... I never imagined that there would be more than one child of prophecy."

"Who knows."

Qingsi shook his head.

Judging from the original work, the Great Toad Sage's prophecies were also limited.

They completely failed to foresee a crisis even greater than Kaguya Otsutsuki's, namely the invasion of the Otsutsuki clan.

Sasuke was sealed inside the Divine Tree, and his "Six-Tomoe Rinnegan" went blind.

Naruto was sealed inside "Daikokuten," and the Nine-Tails was destroyed.

It can be said that the ninja world simply does not have high-end combat power to deal with future crises. Even Jiraiya's clone, Kashin Koji, also transplanted some of Otsutsuki Shibakai's genes and awakened the divine technique "Ten Directions".

He used the divine technique "Ten Directions" to view many timelines and passed on the ninjutsu that Boruto would master in different future timelines in advance, which allowed Boruto to grow up quickly.

Those years were arguably the darkest years in the ninja world, a time of turbulent undercurrents.

The Great Toad Sage made no prediction about this...

"Then we'll take our leave now, and let the Great Toad Sage rest first."

Kiyoshi said.

Then he took Sasuke's hand and walked outside.

Sasuke's current height is only up to Kiyoshi's waist, making him appear quite young.

"Welcome to visit again next time."

The immortal spoke up.

The next moment, Kiyoshi and Sasuke had returned to Konoha.

Having space-time ninjutsu would make it very convenient to enter and exit these so-called sacred places.

"I'm going to find Naruto!"

As soon as Sasuke returned, he couldn't wait to say it.

Kiyoshi nodded slightly, telling Sasuke to slow down on the way.

Naruto and Sasuke both inherited his bloodline, and their chakra reserves are even greater than in the original story.

Therefore, supporting these summoned beasts is not difficult.

"Now that my pupil power is sufficient, it's time to go and take a look at the 'Ice and Snow Space'."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

The spaces left behind by Kaguya Otsutsuki must contain her most core secrets.

Sasuke in Boruto travels around all year round in order to collect these things.

Kiyoshi first returned to the Hokage Building, gave some instructions, and then went home alone.

hiss……

Kiyoshi's pupil power surged, and kaleidoscope patterns appeared in his eyes.

These strange patterns are spinning rapidly.

Calamity Thunder Lord!

In that instant, within the reach of his pupils, Kiyoshi seemed to form a strange connection with the earth, as if invisible roots were penetrating the ground beneath his feet.
"Is this what they call 'planetary chakra'?"

Kiyoshi could sense a chakra brimming with vitality.

"So……"

Kiyoshi attempted to use his eye technique to guide out this chakra.

A black vortex tore open in the air, and a portal appeared from it.

"In this way, the 'spatial portal' can last for a very long time."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

He replaced a portion of his eye power with "planetary chakra" from beneath the earth.

This method of transferring costs saved him a lot of chakra.

If Kiyoshi were to use the "Flying Thunder God Technique" to go directly to that other dimension filled with ice and snow, his chakra would probably be greatly depleted.

If any special circumstances arise over there, they will be in a very passive position.

Now, this concern can be put aside for the time being.

Without further hesitation, Kiyoshi took a step forward, his figure disappearing into the black vortex.

As he emerged through the portal, the entire world suddenly changed.

Snow……

The boundless snowfield, covered in silver, is a world of pure white.

The biting wind howled like a knife, whipping up a flurry of snow and reducing visibility to extremely low levels.

Everywhere was covered in white snow, as if I had entered a snow kingdom.

"Let's go find Kaguya's castle first."

Kiyoshi activated his chakra, his body levitating lightly as if defying gravity. Then, using magnetism, he transformed into a blurry black shadow, flying rapidly close to the snow surface.

His figure quickly shrank into an insignificant black dot in the vast snow.

After searching for about fifteen minutes, just as Kiyoshi was wondering if they had gone in the wrong direction, a steep cliff pierced through the wind and snow at the edge of their field of vision.

At the top of that cliff stands a magnificent castle building with an ancient style.

It is made entirely of a dark-colored stone, and looks as if it has been weathered by a thousand years.

"This is it." A hint of joy flashed in Kiyoshi's eyes, and he increased his speed, heading towards the castle.

If he could obtain some of Kaguya's dandruff, hair, or other genes, with his current cloning technology, he might be able to clone one and see.

Of course, this experiment carries a high risk.

How much of Kaguya's original strength can be cloned?
If the experimental subject, Kaguya Otsutsuki, goes berserk, how can it be stopped?
However, these were not enough to stop Kiyoshi.

To go further, obtaining the genes of the Otsutsuki clan is essential.

Currently, apart from Isshiki Otsutsuki, who is hiding in the ninja world, and Kinshiki Otsutsuki, Momoshiki Otsutsuki, and Urashiki Otsutsuki, who are still crossing the void on their way, there are no other ninjas.

The one with the purest bloodline is the Toneri on the moon.

All other genes have degenerated and have not fully inherited the power of the bloodline.

However, just as Kiyoshi's feet stepped onto the snow-covered stone steps in front of the castle, a sudden change occurred!
Roar!
A deep roar came from the shadows of the castle, and the next moment, the entire cliff seemed to come alive!

Countless thick tree branches broke through the hard frozen soil and stone steps, growing wildly and intertwining, carrying an overwhelming force, sweeping towards Qing Si like a green giant wave!

The speed and scope of the attack far exceeded that of ordinary "Wood" Release techniques.

Kiyoshi reacted extremely quickly, retreating rapidly and clapping his hands together, saying:
"Wood Release·Wood Dragon Technique!"

Wood Release chakra quickly condensed into a green wooden dragon, which spiraled up from beneath his feet and crashed into the attacking tree roots.

The wooden dragon collided violently with the tangled branches, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

"As expected, there are guards, and the strength of this 'Wood' Release technique..."

Kiyoshi saw the figure slowly emerging from the shadows of the castle. It was a pale figure, seemingly pieced together from a pile of white Zetsu.

Bai Jue!

However, the chakra it possessed far exceeded that of any White Zetsu Kiyoshi had ever seen before.

"It seems this is a human from a thousand years ago, transformed into this state by Kaguya Otsutsuki's 'Infinite Tsukuyomi'."

Kiyoshi remembered that Kaguya was constantly amassing White Zetsu troops, intending to use them to deal with the Otsutsuki clan who came to capture her.

Therefore, these White Zetsu must not be too weak, otherwise it wouldn't be worth Kaguya Otsutsuki doing this.

"More powerful than the future White Zetsu, but it has lost its sanity; is it a half-finished product...?"

Kiyoshi's Mangekyou Sharingan swirled as he observed the deformed White Zetsu.

White Zetsu are actually humans, but they were modified by Kaguya Otsutsuki's techniques.

Later, whether it was Madara Uchiha or Obito Uchiha, they seemed to have used the power of the "Gedo Mazo" and "Hashirama cells" to create White Zetsu, but in reality, it was all a misleading statement by Black Zetsu, and it was just icing on the cake.

"Intruder... Eliminate!"

The deformed white Zetsu emitted a hoarse, intermittent voice, raised its hand again, and more wooden spears rained down on Kiyoshi.

"Perfect, I'll use you to test the new eye technique."

Kiyoshi was not surprised but delighted, and the kaleidoscope pattern in his eyes spun rapidly again.

He needed a battle to get used to his newfound eye technique.

The deformed White Zetsu in front of me looks much stronger than Tobi, who possessed Yamato during the Fourth Shinobi World War in the original story!

Takemikazuchi!

As Kiyoshi murmured to himself, a completely different feeling arose from the "Planetary Chakra" triggered by "Calamity Thunder Lord".

A jet-black arc of electricity, seemingly capable of devouring light, suddenly enveloped Kiyoshi's entire body like leaping flames!
There was no deafening thunder, only an extreme sense of "stillness" and "speed"!
In that instant, Kiyoshi felt everything around him slow down immensely.

The world seemed to have turned from color to gray, frozen in a black and white photograph.

The howling wind was stretched into a strange low groan, and the flying wooden spear seemed to sink into a sticky swamp, slowly advancing forward, even the snowflakes falling from the sky seemed to freeze in mid-air.

Time did not truly stop, but with the support of the black arc of electricity, Kiyoshi's speed was increased to an unbelievable level, almost to the point of... a one-second freeze!

Whoosh!
An arc of electricity flashed, and Kiyoshi, following the Flying Thunder God mark, instantly closed in on the White Zetsu, his ninja sword crackling with black electricity as he thrust straight at its core!
A second passes.

Time seemed to start flowing again.

The deformed White Zetsu clearly hadn't expected Kiyoshi's speed to increase so dramatically, and hastily mobilized a large number of wooden vines to form a shield in front of him.

"too slow!"

Kiyoshi's ninja sword easily tore through the wooden shield.

However, White Zetsu's fighting instincts were not weak either. He twisted his body and narrowly avoided a fatal blow, while sharp wooden spikes erupted from the ground once again.

Using the extreme speed of the black electric arc, Kiyoshi's figure flashed in place, his hand blade as fast as lightning, slicing through the wooden splinters and leaving a wisp of afterimage.

boom!
The upper body of the White Zetsu was severed and sent flying, the shattered white flesh and blood scattering in the air like broken flowers.

But the White Zetsu immediately regenerated, its white flesh twisting and writhing, reforming its body.

"Its regenerative ability is very strong..."

Golden magatama appeared in Kiyoshi's eyes.

Then, the "Sage Chakra" within his body was activated.

Qing Si raised his palm, and the lightning in his palm transformed into a huge black lightning pillar, which slammed straight towards Bai Zetsu.

boom!
The entire stone steps were swallowed by lightning, and the snow and ice crystals turned into mist in the interplay of high temperature and electric current, causing the air to vibrate and ripple.

When the light faded, only a charred shell of a White Zetsu remained, half-buried in the snow.

Its regenerative tissue completely collapsed, leaving only a two- or three-month-old white Zetsu head, with liquefied white flesh still dripping from its empty eye sockets.

As Qing Si landed, the electric arcs on his body slowly dissipated, leaving only a wisp of lightning flickering at his fingertips.

"Their recovery ability is also what the current White Zetsu samples show."

He stepped forward, squatted down to examine the wreckage, his eyes gleaming.

"Kaguya probably left behind quite a few experiments here."

He reached into a sealed scroll, put the wreckage inside, and thought to himself that it was perfect for his research.

White Zetsu is a kind of advanced technology that could greatly promote the development of medical ninjutsu.

After dealing with the White Zetsu, Kiyoshi continued walking forward.

Pushing open the door to the main hall, it was covered in all sorts of dust.

Kiyoshi unleashed a Wind Release ninjutsu, sweeping all the dust inside out.

"It seems no one else can find this place either."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin and found a piece of clothing there.

Judging from the simple style above, this should be clothing left over from the time of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Unfortunately, after searching for a while, Kiyoshi regretfully discovered that there was nothing left behind by Kaguya Otsutsuki on it. He didn't know if it had been washed clean or if it had never been worn at all.

Kiyoshi packed his clothes and continued walking forward.

Many of the pieces of furniture inside the castle are rotten and dilapidated.

After browsing through one floor, Kiyoshi found a room.

The room contained many manuscripts, covered with densely packed text from a thousand years ago.

"Something left behind by Kaguya Otsutsuki during her research into secret techniques?"

As Kiyoshi pondered, he carefully sealed all these items into the sealing scroll he had brought.

These things have great research value.

"I remember there are a few other alternate dimensions as well."

Kiyoshi continued exploring the castle.

Since entering this place, he felt that his perception of other dimensions had become much faster. (End of Chapter)
