Your mental energy has increased by 300% from its original level.

Your spacetime ninjutsu effect has been increased by 300%.

【Note: You can continue to advance later. 】

In that instant, Kiyoshi felt as if his body and even his soul had undergone a baptism.

The already enormous amount of chakra increased dramatically with the boost in spiritual energy.

You can clearly "hear" the whispers of the wind and "see" the flow of natural energy in the air.

The colors of the horns on his forehead and the wedge-shaped markings on his body also seemed to have become darker.

"Golden entries... Can this world produce red entries?"

Kiyoshi wondered what other actions might trigger the red message.

After a brief period of adjusting to the power within his body, Kiyoshi looked ahead.

At this moment, 'Yotsuki Seiji's' body had already turned into specks of light and disappeared, but something still remained, descending at high speed.

Those things were two "Rinnegan".

This wasn't part of 'Yotsuki Seiji's' true essence, and combined with the ocular power within, these 'Rinnegan' eyes weren't destroyed.

Kiyoshi stretched out his hand, and a surge of wind-style chakra flowed from his palm.

An invisible force formed the shape of a hand, instantly catching up with the falling "Rinnegan".

Then, swept up by the wind, the "Rinnegan" slowly rose and finally came into Kiyoshi's hands.

Kiyoshi could also see bloodstains on the pale purple, wavy eyeballs, as well as the optic nerve.

With a gentle touch, one can feel the immense power of the pupil still contained within, but compared to his own strength, this power seems somewhat "superficial" and "rough".

"A counterfeit is ultimately a counterfeit, a product of this world. It lacks the necessary status, but it's sufficient to control this world as a 'Gedo Statue.' However, to try and obtain true 'Six Paths Level' power with it is wishful thinking."

Kiyoshi casually sealed the two Rinnegan into a scroll; even if they were fakes, they were still worth studying.

Moreover, this thing can also be considered a key to using the "Outer Path Golem".

At the same moment, in the distant treetops, a shadow was creeping.

Upon closer inspection, one can even discern that the shadow has the outline of a human face.

It was the mirror image of Black Zetsu.

The mirror image of Black Zetsu remained hidden, its eyes fixed on Kiyoshi, especially the scroll in Kiyoshi's hand that sealed the Ten-Tails' chakra and the "Gedo Mazo," its mind churning with calculations.

"He succeeded... He did indeed defeat those troublesome people. Such powerful strength, such a perfect vessel... He is more suitable to be the vessel for Mother's revival than that 'Yotsuki Seiji'. We must find a way... We must make him actively fuse with the Ten-Tails."

"Once he becomes the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, with his talent and this body, he will surely be able to perfectly bear his mother's will. At that time, this unexpectedly powerful intruder will become the greatest contributor to his mother's return!"

Mirror Black Zetsu was thinking about how to lure Kiyoshi into becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, and how to launch a sneak attack on Kiyoshi when he was off guard.

Once he succeeds, his millennia-long wish will be fulfilled.

……

"Cough cough..."

Fugaku Uchiha's face turned ashen, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face completely devoid of color.

He and Uchiha Shisui were already seriously injured in the previous battle, and were further injured by the aftereffects of 'Yotsuki Seiji's' casual attack, leaving them barely alive.

In this "Limited Tsukuyomi" world, Tsunade's medical ninjutsu skills do not seem to have reached the peak of the real world. Although she tried her best to treat the wounds, she was powerless to save the patient from this level of injury.

By the time Shizune arrived with more medical ninjas, the two's vital signs were so weak that they were almost undetectable.

"Chief Fugaku, Shisui!"

Some Uchiha clan members gathered around, their faces filled with sorrow.

After checking the silence, he shook his head helplessly and whispered:

"The injuries are too severe. The internal organs and meridians have been shattered... It's a miracle that you've survived this long... Prepare for the worst."

Kiyoshi glanced at it from afar, not surprised by the result.

The Fugaku and Shisui of this world are far weaker than those of the real world, and seem to lack in mental fortitude and resilience as well.

"It seems that the counterfeit versions of Fugaku and Shisui are far weaker than those in the other world."

Kiyoshi thought to himself, but he wasn't particularly moved. He just had a deeper understanding of the realism of the "Limited Tsukuyomi" world. Everything here carried a fragile sense of "mirror image".

At this moment, the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, dragged her tired but still upright body and walked up to Kiyoshi.

She looked at the powerful man before her, who seemed completely out of place in the world, took a deep breath, and tried to keep her voice calm.

"Kiyoshi... Your Excellency, on behalf of Konoha and the Allied Shinobi Forces, I thank you for your help in averting this crisis... which could have destroyed the world."

Her gaze swept over the scroll in Kiyoshi's hand, which sealed with terrifying chakra, and she continued:
"May I ask... where you come from, sir? And what are your plans for the future?"

Kiyoshi withdrew his gaze from the distance and looked at Tsunade, his tone calm:
"Just a passerby who happened to be passing by. As for my plans..."

He paused, his gaze seemingly unintentionally sweeping over Uchiha Mikoto and Uzumaki Kushina, who were watching them with concern in the distance, and further back towards Konoha Village.

"I will stay in Konoha for a while. I don't think the Hokage will mind."

Qingsi smiled.

Although Tsunade in this world has shrunk considerably, she still possesses a unique charm.

Tsunade felt a chill run down her spine, but her expression remained unchanged.

She knew that given the power Kiyoshi had displayed, if he wanted to harm Konoha, even the entire ninja world united would probably be powerless to stop him.

Rather than provoking the other party, it's better to calm them down first.

"In that case, Konoha welcomes your stay. You are Konoha's benefactor. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask."

Tsunade said solemnly.

Just then, Uchiha Tetsuka and several other Jonin from the Uchiha clan arrived.

They first glanced sorrowfully at the bodies of Fugaku and Shisui, then looked at Kiyoshi with complex emotions—gratitude, reverence, and fear. They dared not dwell on Kiyoshi's relationship with the Uchiha clan any further.

If such a powerful individual were to become enraged, the Uchiha clan might be wiped out.

However, the Uchiha clan began to speculate that Kiyoshi might have survived the Warring States period and used something similar to the "Yin Seal" to preserve his youth.

But in reality, he is an old man who has lived for over a hundred years.

However, this was just speculation, and no one dared to say it under Qing Si's nose. They began to silently collect the clan leader's remains and handle the aftermath.

Mikoto Uchiha watched the busy figures of her clansmen, then glanced at Kiyoshi, who remained calm and composed.

She stepped forward and bowed slightly to Kiyoshi again:

"Kiyoshi-kun, thank you again for saving my life. The clan has suddenly encountered a major change, and I need to return to discuss matters such as electing a new clan leader. I must take my leave now."

Kiyoshi nodded slightly in response.

On the other side, thanks to the medical team's tireless efforts in treating him, Minato Namikaze was finally out of danger, but he remained unconscious and needed a long period of rest.

Kushina stood not far away, looking at the land ravaged by the battle, especially the lava lake that still radiated high temperatures and flowed slowly, and a look of worry appeared on her face.

"What will happen here...? Will Konoha be stuck next to this sea of ​​lava forever? What will the future environment be like...?"

She couldn't help but mutter to herself. Although her voice wasn't loud, many of the more perceptive ninjas present heard it and their faces fell in worry.

Kiyoshi naturally heard it too. He glanced at the lava lake created by his battle with 'Yotsuki Kiyoshi', then at the dilapidated Konoha walls in the distance, and further away in the direction of the still-shaken civilians.

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

He said it casually, then took a few steps forward.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Kiyoshi slowly raised his hands without forming any hand seals, but the golden "Sage Cloak" around him reappeared faintly, and a vast and boundless chakra fluctuation, as if connected to the entire world, spread out from him!
Kaleidoscope Eye Technique: Calamity Thunder Lord!
This eye technique allows Kiyoshi to connect his magnetic field to the entire earth; the more eye power he possesses, the more points he can connect to.

It can also be considered a type of amplification eye technique, allowing Kiyoshi to borrow "planetary chakra" to a certain extent and drastically change the appearance of the environment.

"Senjutsu·Water Style·Great Waterfall Technique!"

He spoke softly, but it triggered the "planetary chakra." Instead of spewing water from his mouth, he stirred the clouds in the sky and the deep water veins underground.

Endless clear water seemed to emerge from the air, transforming into towering waves, but instead of attacking, it gently covered the scorching lava lake like a cotton blanket!

laugh!
A huge plume of white steam shot into the sky, instantly enveloping an area of ​​tens of kilometers in radius, as if a cloud-shrouded mountain had risen out of thin air.

The hot lava reacted violently with the cold water, producing a piercing hiss.

As the steam dissipated slightly, everyone saw that the once red and churning lava lake had rapidly cooled and solidified, turning into large swathes of black volcanic rock emitting wisps of heat.

But it's not over yet.

Qing Si's gestures changed again.

"Immortal Technique·Earth Release·Yellow Spring Marsh!"

The cooled volcanic rock ground began to soften and surge like flowing water. The originally uneven and cracked terrain was forcibly smoothed and compacted by the powerful Earth Release ninjutsu, turning into a solid and flat expanse of land.

Immediately afterwards, Kiyoshi clasped his hands together, and his body radiated a vibrant green light.

"Senjutsu·Wood Release·Tree World Arrives!"

Countless tender green saplings sprouted from the newly grown soil like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and grew wildly at a visible speed.

In the blink of an eye, the once desolate place was covered by a lush, vibrant forest.

Tall trees, low shrubs, lush green grass...

It's as if this place has always been a forest, with no trace of the scorching lava lake that was just moments ago!

After doing all this, the light around Kiyoshi slowly subsided, and his aura returned to calm.

All the ninja who witnessed this earth-shattering, seemingly miraculous creation of something from nothing, whether ordinary genin or seasoned Kage-level warriors, were utterly dumbfounded, their minds blank, and they even forgot to breathe.

It was as if they gasped in shock.

This...this is no longer within the scope of ninjutsu!

How is this any different from a legendary miracle?
Is it really a level that ninjutsu can achieve?
Just how much chakra does Kiyoshi possess?

After a long while, someone finally came to their senses and let out the first suppressed gasp, followed by a tsunami-like uproar as everyone focused their attention on Kiyoshi.

Kiyoshi paid no attention to any of this. He turned around calmly and, under the gazes of the crowd, some filled with fear and others with gratitude, began to walk slowly toward Konoha Village.

Wherever he went, the crowd parted automatically like a tide, and no one dared to approach him or stop him.

……

Although Konoha Village is far from the main battlefield, the previous tremors and the earth-shattering scene in the distance still leave the villagers with lingering fears.

Hinata, the leader, kept her Byakugan active, nervously watching the battle unfold in the distance.

When she saw Kiyoshi use his divine powers to restore the earth, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, and a relieved smile appeared on her pretty face.

Just as Kiyoshi's figure appeared at the village entrance, a figure rushed over at an extremely fast speed; it was none other than the eldest sister, Hinata.

She stopped in front of Qing Si, her pretty face slightly flushed from running and excitement, her full breasts heaving slightly, her pure white eyes gazing at Qing Si as she spoke:

"Kiyoshi-kun, I'm so glad you're alright. That battle... that was terrifying."

"Well, it's solved."

Qing Si nodded slightly.

Hinata, the eldest sister, leaned closer and carefully examined Kiyoshi. After confirming that not even the hem of his clothes was disheveled, she nodded.
"Kiyoshi-kun, were you really not a ninja from any ninja village in the past?"

"At least not in this world."

Kiyoshi shook his head slightly.

He certainly belongs to a ninja village, but it's not Konoha in this world.

Just then, Kiyoshi continued walking into the village with Hinata, the eldest sister, without stopping.
The two of them, one in front of the other, soon arrived at the entrance of the flower shop in the mountains.

Ino was cleaning up the flowerpots that had been broken by the tremor earlier in the store, her face still showing some worry.

When she looked up and saw Kiyoshi standing calmly outside the shop, her emerald green eyes lit up instantly, and a joyful smile bloomed on her face.

However, her smile froze slightly when she saw the voluptuous young lady of the Hyuga main family standing next to Kiyoshi, who was unabashedly following closely behind him.

Ino subconsciously looked down at herself. Although she was young and energetic, compared to Hinata's "bold" heart and mature charm, her figure was somewhat immature and thin. For no reason, she felt a sense of inferiority and loss.

She stopped in her tracks, intending to go up and say hello. Instead, she stood inside the store, peering through the window at the two people standing side by side outside with a slightly melancholic look in her eyes.

Kiyoshi's gaze swept over the slightly messy scene inside the flower shop, then looked at Ino, who had her head down. He didn't say anything, but calmly walked in as usual.

Hinata, the leader, stood outside the store with her arms crossed. Her gaze swept over Ino inside, and a slightly smug smile appeared on her lips before she followed Ino inside.

　Only four thousand today, headache.
