Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Chapter 439 Shizune: From now on, I'll discuss things separately from Lady Tsunade?
Kiyoshi's movement of sitting down was very light, but it made Tsunade's fingers holding the wine glass pause slightly.

She could clearly sense the unique scent that belonged to Kiyoshi.

It was the scent of a man, mingling with the rich aroma of the sake in her glass and the faint, warm scent of her own body after a bath.

"I know how to choose the right time."

Tsunade snorted, tilted her head back and drank the cup in one gulp. The wine slid down her slightly raised neck, leaving a thin, shiny trail that disappeared into the snow-white skin beneath her collar.

"Is everything outside cleaned up?"

"Enmulo has been detained, and further investigations have been arranged."

Kiyoshi began.

No one died this time, but some people were injured.

Several passing ninjas were cut in half at the waist, and the medical ninjas used experimental medical technology to provide emergency treatment to them.

The source material is the former White Zetsu.

If the power provided by White Zetsu is weakened, it would be good to use it as material for stitching limbs together.

This is also a direction that Kiyoshi is currently having the Konoha medical department research.

The ninjas treated the wound by transplanting a thin layer of White Zetsu cells into it and then using medical ninjutsu to stimulate repair and reconnect the other half of the limb.

They've barely managed to save their lives, but whether there will be any adverse effects remains to be seen.

This is the best possible outcome; otherwise, they would have died from blood loss much sooner.

"The ninja world is never peaceful, no matter when."

Tsunade sighed softly.

Even when his grandfather, Hashirama Senju, was alive, there was no absolute peace.

Besides Madara Uchiha causing trouble, there were also some local conflicts.

The First Shinobi World War, the Second Shinobi World War, and the Third Shinobi World War followed. Whether there will be a Fourth, Fifth, or Sixth Shinobi World War in the future remains to be seen.

"It doesn't matter, I will take action."

Qingsi smiled slightly.

Power is the reason to become king.

If Kiyoshi is willing, he can try to violently rule the ninja world now.

However, doing so would easily provoke resistance from everyone.

Before dealing with Isshiki Otsutsuki, Kiyoshi adopted a moderate policy.

Yekura was already the Fifth Kazekage, essentially a puppet whom Yekura had installed to indirectly control Sunagakure.

Mei Terumi is not far from becoming the Fifth Mizukage, and at that time she will be a puppet supported by him.

The remaining hidden clouds and rocks can be slowly infiltrated.

"Yes, you will make a move."

Tsunade tilted her head slightly and stared at Kiyoshi.

Kiyoshi's power is an unspeakable fear for his enemies.

As one of our own, I can feel a sense of security.

Kiyoshi's gaze fell on Tsunade's neck, which was flushed an alluring pink from drinking, and on her nurse's uniform, which was almost bursting open from the weight of her overflowing heart.

The warm indoor light cast soft shadows on her legs, which were covered in white silk stockings. The lines outlined by the taut fabric appeared even more breathtaking in her kneeling posture.

Kiyoshi reached out, but didn't touch Tsunade. He simply brushed his fingertips lightly across a strand of her golden hair that was scattered on the tatami mat, which carried a delicate fragrance.

Tsunade's body stiffened almost imperceptibly, but she did not dodge.

"You look beautiful in your nurse's uniform."

Kiyoshi said.

This is an objective assessment.

Tsunade was born to be a beauty, but no one had been able to bring out her potential.

With his diligent efforts, Tsunade became more and more beautiful.

The most obvious change is that it no longer seems to be a fixed 106, but rather slightly longer.

The baby cafeteria has been expanded, and the interior decoration is now more luxurious.

Tsunade put down her wine glass, turned her head, and her brown-gold eyes shone brightly under the influence of the wine as she looked straight at him.

"How did you become just like Jiraiya?"

Tsunade parted her lips slightly.

"I'm not like Jiraiya."

Qingsi shook his head.

Although he was no better than Jiraiya, neither of them were good people.

However, Kiyoshi never actually spied on people in bathhouses.

Does he need to spy?
Thinking of this, Kiyoshi's lips seemed to twitch very slightly, the smile so faint it was almost nonexistent.

"Or does Tsunade-sensei already hate me?"

Kiyoshi countered with a question, his fingers sliding down her hair, lightly touching a small patch of bare skin on the back of her neck in her nurse's uniform. The cool touch made Tsunade tremble slightly.

"Humph."

Tsunade gave a soft hum, trying to mask her racing heartbeat with fierceness, but her body unconsciously moved half a step closer to him, as if attracted by that slight coolness.

She didn't feel any dislike.

How could Jiraiya compare to Kiyoshi?
"I'm just wondering, how did that kid who needed to be taken care of on the battlefield become... like this?"

Her voice gradually lowered, tinged with a complex mix of emotions.

Kiyoshi didn't answer her question. Instead, taking advantage of her closeness, he naturally wrapped his arm around her waist, his palms embracing her warm and soft waist through the thin fabric of her nurse's uniform.

With her other hand, she picked up the wine glass she had just used.

"The wine is good."

He commented, but his gaze remained fixed on her face.

"uh-huh."

Tsunade nodded.

Of course, how could her taste be bad?

But then she watched as Kiyoshi, with her lipstick mark still on his lips, drank the rest of the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Her eyes widened immediately.

This brat... how could he do this!

Unhygienic!
Tsunade wanted to say that, but before she could speak, Kiyoshi added:
"The lipstick smells nice too."

"Kid!"

Tsunade was somewhat embarrassed and angry, and reached out to snatch the cup, but he easily dodged it.

As she moved, she almost leaned into his arms, the fabric of her nurse's uniform stretched even tighter, and her knees, wrapped in white silk, unconsciously pressed against his side.

Kiyoshi lowered his head, getting close to her ear, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe.

"Tsunade-sensei, I'm just thirsty, can't I even quench my thirst?"

Kiyoshi's breath, carrying the aroma of sake, enveloped the area.

Tsunade felt the burning heat on her waist where his palm was pressed against her, and the tingling sensation on her ears from his breath. Her body, which had been relaxed due to the slight intoxication, tensed up a bit.

"There are also cups here."

Tsunade gently pushed Kiyoshi away, took out a cup, and poured him some wine.

"Speaking of which, Tsunade-sensei's alcohol tolerance is probably not as good as mine."

Qingsi said calmly.

His physical strength is undeniable; it's impossible for Tsunade to compete with him in drinking.

"Are you feeling smug, kid?"

Tsunade was shocked; Kiyoshi was challenging her authority.

So she took a swig of wine and stared intently at Kiyoshi.

After a breath, Tsunade leaned forward and kissed Kiyoshi.

Tsunade's eyes, shimmering like autumn water, met Kiyoshi's dark pupils.

At close range, Tsunade felt as if her whole body was being sucked in.

"Tsunade-sensei, your alcohol tolerance is indeed not very good."

After a long while, Kiyoshi looked up.

That one cup wasn't enough.

"It has to be like this."

After he finished speaking, the warm yellow light in the room began to fall in a staggered pattern.

The night outside was peaceful.

The winding, twisting shadows seemed to be intertwined with each other, eventually turning into an even deeper darkness.

……

On the main street of Konoha.

"Shizune."

Jiraiya's expression was unreadable.

Shizune is Tsunade's disciple, so Jiraiya is very familiar with her.

"Jiraiya-sama."

Silent opening.

At this moment, she obeyed Lady Tsunade's order and went to buy a batch of limited edition alcoholic beverages.

Because we only bought a small amount of goods, we had to queue up in advance.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Jiraiya on the road.

"Where is Tsunade? I have something important to tell her."

Jiraiya frowned.

Rumors about Kato Dan's resurrection had been circulating in the village for a long time, which Jiraiya initially did not believe.

Later, through his continuous investigation and intelligence gathering, he discovered that this was indeed the case.

So, what will Tsunade's attitude be?

Jiraiya was also concerned about this matter.

He cannot tolerate anyone betraying the village, not even Tsunade.

This was Jiraiya's resolve, the resolve of a Konoha ninja.

"Lady Tsunade is at home."

Silent lane.

At this time of day, Tsunade would usually have a few drinks.

For some reason, Shizune noticed that Tsunade's skin seemed to be getting better and better.

It was so good that even she was a little envious.

As a woman, who wouldn't want to be more beautiful?

This sparked Shizune's interest in learning the "Yin Seal." In her opinion, Tsunade's beautiful skin was due to her mastery of the "Yin Seal."

"I see."

Jiraiya nodded and then headed towards Tsunade's house.

"Strange, what brings Lord Jiraiya here so late?"

The mute function is baffling.

"Never mind, let's go queue up first."

Silent quickened her pace.

If you fail to complete Tsunade's mission, Lady Tsunade is not easy to deal with when she gets angry.

Jiraiya arrived at Tsunade's house quickly.

He stood downstairs and didn't go up immediately.

Jiraiya was still struggling with his inner thoughts.

The news that Kiyoshi faced an unfamiliar enemy today has already spread.

Jiraiya also went to Konoha Hospital to check on Minato Namikaze's injuries.

Even Minato Namikaze lost like this, which means that the enemy must be very difficult to deal with.

Dealing with such indiscriminate attacks as poisonous fog, Minato Namikaze also had to consider not accidentally harming other villagers, which was indeed quite difficult for him.

This incident also served as a wake-up call for Jiraiya.

What if Kato Dan, like this enemy, turns around and attacks Konoha?
Jiraiya didn't want Tsunade to betray them in the future.

His own feelings toward Kato Dan were also complex, a mixture of camaraderie and regret.

Of course, at a deeper level, there was also jealousy.

After all, Tsunade was the woman he loved most, but at that time, Dan Kato had a good relationship with Tsunade.

It's at least better than his relationship with Tsunade.

"By lit candles?"

Jiraiya noticed that there seemed to be two shadows intertwined on the curtains in Tsunade's house.

He did not release his chakra to sense anything.

That would definitely be discovered by Tsunade, who would think she was spying on me again.

He'll likely have several more ribs broken and his internal organs shattered.

Jiraiya intends to be serious on this occasion and not do anything out of line.

He kept thinking down how to tell Tsunade about this.

Just as I was mentally prepared, the shadow on the curtain paused briefly before disappearing completely.

Bang bang.

Finally, with a feeling of unease, Jiraiya went up and knocked on the door.

He prayed inwardly that he would not hear a bad answer.

"Yo, Jiraiya, what brings you here?"

Tsunade opened the door, revealing a heavy coat that covered her figure completely, making it look like winter clothing.

Jiraiya was about to say something when he suddenly saw Kiyoshi inside.

"you?"

Jiraiya's first thought was that Kiyoshi was also discussing this matter with Tsunade.

He was unaware that Kiyoshi had already obtained the answer to this matter from Tsunade, and mistakenly believed that Kiyoshi had come because of his status as Hokage.

"us……"

Tsunade's expression tightened slightly.

What reason could she possibly give?

"You must be discussing Kato Dan's matter."

Jiraiya noticed the unnaturalness on Tsunade's face.

"Ok?"

Tsunade was stunned. "Don't underestimate my intelligence network, Tsunade."

Seeing that Tsunade didn't seem to be about to attack, Jiraiya felt a little relieved.

"You can't hide anything from Jiraiya."

Qingsi smiled.

"You've drunk that much?"

Jiraiya noticed that there were many empty wine bottles next to the low table.

"I drank a little too much."

Kiyoshi said.

You take a sip, I take a sip, and before we know it, we've had too much to drink.

"Yeah."

Jiraiya found a stool and sat down.

Is Tsunade drowning her sorrows in alcohol?
Jiraiya made the same connection.

"Uh, I'll go get another bottle."

Tsunade, her body wrapped up in a ball, walked inside.

It looks like a chubby penguin.

"The weather has turned cooler recently, there's no need to wear so many layers."

Jiraiya couldn't understand what Tsunade was thinking.

I just felt that Tsunade was being a bit too generous today.

Normally, Tsunade wouldn't give her alcohol.

The answer is poverty and no money.

Tsunade walked out of the living room and patted her cheeks.

"call……"

This kid is getting better and better at causing trouble.

Tsunade did not go to get the wine as she had said, but went back to her bedroom first.

She took off her bundled-up coat, then put on her underwear, her usual sleeveless top, and finally put the coat back on.

"Much more comfortable."

After Tsunade went to another room to get a bottle of wine, she returned to the living room and placed the wine on the table.

When he returned to the sofa and sat down, he kicked a pile of clothes that he hadn't had time to tidy up even deeper under the sofa.

Those were clothes that were hastily thrown in.

"Tsunade, what do you think about Dan Kato's resurrection?"

After taking a sip of his drink, Jiraiya asked.

"What should I do?"

Tsunade adopted a businesslike attitude.

"With your words, I feel relieved."

Jiraiya smiled and then gulped down several more mouthfuls of sake.

This way, it would be impossible for Kato Dan to seduce Tsunade.

Even though Kato Dan was a former comrade, he had already betrayed Jiraiya and was now a rival in love, so Jiraiya would no longer have any psychological burden when he started to fight.

"Lady Tsunade is certainly not someone who can't distinguish between good and bad."

Qingsi smiled.

He and Tsunade were sitting on the same sofa, with Tsunade beside him, within easy reach.

Kiyoshi secretly placed his hand behind Tsunade's waist.

Now that the shape has become his, why would Tsunade think about Kato Dan?
That was a realm that Kato Dan never reached in his entire life.

Only places where Kiyoshi has set foot.

"Kid!"

Tsunade suddenly glared at Kiyoshi.

That brat, he goes too far no matter the occasion.

Tsunade patted Kiyoshi's hand.

Her sudden shout startled Jiraiya, making him less drunk.

"Ahem, in that case, I'll be going now."

Jiraiya waved his hand.

There's a nice girl working at the shop; he hasn't been there in a long time.

I need to go and take care of them tonight.

A gambling father, a sick mother, a younger brother who desperately needs to go to school, and a broken woman.

Besides Jiraiya-sama, who else can help?
"move."

Tsunade also gave them the order to leave.

Judging from Jiraiya's lecherous look, it's obvious where he's going next.

She suddenly felt that even the bench that Jiraiya had sat on was dirty.

Just after Jiraiya left, Shizune returned.

As she entered, she bumped into Jiraiya again.

"Kiyoshi is here too."

Silent thought they had just been discussing something important.

"Have you bought what I asked you to buy?"

When Tsunade saw Shizune return, she immediately asked her what was wrong.

Jingyin nodded and took the wine out of the bag.

"Not bad."

Tsunade's eyes lit up with joy; this kind of sake wasn't easy to come by.

After all, she was often in a responsible position in the past.

Jiraiya had lent her so much money that he stopped lending her money so often.

Kiyoshi consistently lent her money.

This made Tsunade a little embarrassed.

"Just what I needed."

Kiyoshi looked down at the wine.

Didn't we unlock a new skill today? And coincidentally, some items were delivered to us as well.

"Be serious."

Tsunade gently patted Kiyoshi's shoulder.

They dare to say anything.

"Haven't you already drunk a lot of alcohol?"

Shizune looked at the empty bottles scattered on the ground and asked.

"A little more would be the same."

Seiji smiled.

"I...I'm going to rest tonight."

Tsunade dashed to her room in a flash.

She was somewhat tempted by Kiyoshi's suggestion, but then Shizune returned.

She also had to maintain her master's authority.

"Kiyoshi, what did you two talk about tonight?"

"Silent asked curiously."

"We chatted about some trivial things."

Qingsi said.

Then, with a snap, the mute went off.

Her lower back and hips were burning with pain.

Kiyoshi... he actually treated her like this.

"Then I'll leave first."

Seeing Shizune's aggrieved yet helpless expression, Kiyoshi left with satisfaction.

Sometimes, teasing it and making it silent is actually quite nice.

"hateful……"

Jingyin blushed deeply and stood alone in the living room.

"Kiyoshi wouldn't do that to me either..."

While feeling both ashamed and angry, the silence also brought a sense of security.

From the moment Kiyoshi became Tsunade's disciple, Shizune often sought out Kiyoshi to ask questions, and she had a great liking for him.

However, she kept these feelings buried in her heart.

Now, with the events involving Tsunade and Kiyoshi, and the actions that had just taken place, her heart was stirred once again.

But in that case, she and Tsunade are each talking to their own side of the same story?

Silent frowned slightly, feeling incredibly annoyed.

……

Shell tissue.

"Is Enmulo dead?"

Otsutsuki Isshiki manipulated Jigen's body, gracefully dining at a table.

He slowly cut the beef with his knife and fork, then took a sip of red wine.

Not long after, tears streamed down his face.

This is not because Otsutsuki Isshiki was saddened by Enmura's death.

On the contrary, his heart was completely silent.

"Useless trash. It's just a dead person, and you treat him like this?"

Otsutsuki Isshiki spoke softly.

The person he was cursing was Tzu-hsien.

Although it possessed Jigen's body, Jigen's will did not disappear; it was merely suppressed into a corner.

The control of this physical body is also entirely in the hands of Otsutsuki Isshiki.

"Amado, I need you to send people back with more samples, whether it's the candidates for the 'device' or the artificial humans, nothing can be left out."

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki slowly put down his empty sake cup and looked at the middle-aged man who entered the room.

The people of the Shell Organization are divided into "Inner Array" and "Outer Array".

The "Outer Formation" has gathered a lot of intelligence, including how Enmura was killed by Uchiha Kiyoshi.

"He knows a technique that attacks the soul; be careful of this when you develop androids later."

Otsutsuki Ichishiki.

"No problem, Lord Jigen."

Amado nodded.

He also developed a strong interest in Uchiha Kiyoshi.

The realm of the soul was a completely unfamiliar area for him.

All attempts to resurrect their daughter have failed. If they can overcome the challenge of the soul, will they be able to succeed?

……

Another few months passed.

The ninja world seemed to have fallen into a strange peace, but many astute people would realize that this was just an illusion.

Some even believe that the Fourth Shinobi World War may be about to break out.

On this day, Kiyoshi was conducting an experiment.

He reached out and entered new scaling parameters on the control panel.

The puppet clone took out a new reagent bottle from the side and poured different batches of diluent into the new test tubes.

A new experiment begins.

This time, Kiyoshi changed the order.

He first injected the weakened "Qingsi cells" into the culture medium and allowed them to reach a steady state naturally for thirty seconds before adding a tiny amount of "Hero's Water".

A drop of blue light fell.

As the liquid slowly seeped in, the chakra flow on the cell surface began to vibrate slightly.

Kiyoshi watched the subtle changes. Unlike the violent reactions of the past, this fluctuation stabilized after a few seconds.

"……what?"

He gave a soft hum, and under his white eye's gaze, the structure of the cells underwent subtle changes.

They started to look like they were breathing.

The internal and external chakra flows are balanced, the "Hero's Water" is absorbed, transformed, and then released.

The readings on the instrument slowly rose.

"It has significant effects, no side effects, and can be reused. Although the improvement is limited each time, it is safe and stable, and can lay a solid foundation for continuous accumulation."

Kiyoshi slowly stood up and stared at the bottle of pale blue liquid.

Compared to the original "Hero's Water," its color is lighter, but it is purer, as if the essence has been removed after impurities have been removed.

"Come."

Kiyoshi patted his sleeves, waking the sleeping white snake.

She slithered lazily, poked out a small head, and then drank the liquid that Qing Si had given her.

Not long after, her eyes widened.

She...felt power!
The amount of chakra was rising rapidly, but unfortunately it stopped soon.

"Master, I want more..."

The white snake's form shifted, transforming into a half-human, half-snake shape. Its tall body bent down, its alluring face nuzzling against Qing Si, before it looked up at him hopefully.

This feeling of becoming stronger made her feel very comfortable.

"The rest still needs further improvement."

Kiyoshi refused the white snake's request and began to examine the changes in her chakra.

Her chakra levels had increased compared to before she took the medication.

If taken multiple times, the increase in chakra will be considerable.

"The raw materials for 'Hero's Water' are limited. How can I speed up the production of this liquid?"

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.
