Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

He removed the barrier, and in a flash, he left the valley. When he reappeared, he was already on the bustling streets of Konoha.

Instead of returning to his residence, Kiyoshi strolled towards the flower shop in the mountains.

The shop window was spotless, and inside were displayed a variety of vibrant and beautiful flowers.

Kiyoshi pushed open the shop door.

Inside the shop, Ino is introducing flowers to a young couple.

These past few days have been enough for Konoha to return to peace.

In the rest area next to the counter, Sakura Haruno was sitting there, holding a cup of flower tea, leisurely flipping through a medical ninjutsu notebook.

When she has free time, Sakura often comes to Ino's place.

Hearing the door open, the two of them looked up at the same time.

When Ino saw that it was Kiyoshi who walked in, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

She quickly said a few words to the couple and then came forward:

"Mr. Kiyoshi, you're finally back."

Her gaze swept quickly over Kiyoshi, as if trying to see if there were any changes in him.

Kiyoshi's gaze fell on Ino:
"I was quite busy the past few days."

Qingsi said.

He was busy breaking down the barriers between the world during those days, and now he has accomplished that.

He can jump to the real world by locating the "Death's belly space".

"That's it."

Ino nodded, her lips slightly parted, and said:

"Please sit down. I just bought some new tea today, made with calendula and mint. It's very refreshing."

After several encounters with Kiyoshi, Ino became less reserved than before, and she led Kiyoshi to a chair to sit down.

Sakura sat nervously to the side.

She and Kiyoshi were not very familiar with each other.

Kiyoshi noticed Sakura's gaze and glanced at her.

To be honest, Sakura's figure is a bit more immature than Ino's; it can only be described as having a nascent curve.

But her figure is very slender and graceful. Sakura in this world has long hair, with pink hair cascading down her back.

Kiyoshi nodded and sat down.

Soon, Ino brought over three cups of flower tea with a faint fragrance. In the transparent glass, the golden marigold petals and emerald green mint leaves slowly unfurled, which was very beautiful.

"Mr. Kiyoshi, what exactly are you busy with?"

Ino gently placed the teacup in front of Kiyoshi and couldn't help but ask curiously.

After asking the question, she felt it was a bit abrupt, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

Sakura also perked up her ears, clearly interested in this as well.

Kiyoshi picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and felt the refreshing, slightly sweet taste spread across his tongue.

Kiyoshi had never tasted this tea before; he guessed it was a specialty of the "Limited Tsukuyomi" world.

Then Kiyoshi put down his teacup and glanced at the two girls' curious faces.

"To do something using space-time ninjutsu."

Kiyoshi casually mentioned a couple of things.

"Space-time ninjutsu?"

Sakura's eyes widened; she hadn't expected Kiyoshi to be researching this.

In their view, any ninjutsu that involves the realm of time and space is extremely profound.

As a hardworking and talented ninja, she has a thirst for knowledge about many ninjutsu.

Ino secretly watched Kiyoshi's profile as he quietly sipped his tea.

"Where does Mr. Kiyoshi wish to go?"

Ino asked, puzzled.

Space-time ninjutsu mostly involves jumping from one space to another.

"Go back to where I used to be, go back."

Kiyoshi said.

Although the flow of time in the "Limited Tsukuyomi" world is different from the flow of time in the real world, so much so that many things happen here but only a fleeting moment in real time.

But from Kiyoshi's perspective, he had lingered here for quite some time.

Fortunately, the space of the alternate dimension is inherently unstable and will not be affected.

Kiyoshi thought to himself.

If the flow rates on both sides differ too much, he really won't be able to use the natural energy here to supply the divine tree in the alternate dimension.

Kiyoshi plans to open another opening at Ryuchi Cave and Mt. Myoboku, water the divine tree in the other dimension from time to time, and then return.

"Eh?"

Ino suddenly became a little nervous.

"Mr. Kiyoshi, when will you be back?"

Hearing Ino's question, tinged with nervousness, Kiyoshi paused slightly, his hand holding the teacup still, and looked up at her.

His image was clearly reflected in the girl's emerald green eyes.

"uncertain."

Kiyoshi gave a vague answer, as he didn't know exactly how much time it would take in the real world.

"Maybe a few days, maybe longer."

After all, time flows faster in the "Limited Tsukuyomi" world.

However, Kiyoshi plans to find a way to adjust the flow of time on both sides to be as similar as possible.

"That's it..."

Ino lowered her head, gently stirring the petals in her cup, her long eyelashes drooping to conceal the disappointment in her eyes.

She knew she had no right or ability to keep someone who had flashed through her life like a shooting star, so she could only suppress the feelings that were quietly growing in her heart.

Seeing her friend's expression, Sakura understood and sighed inwardly.

To lighten the mood, she steered the conversation towards a topic she was familiar with:

"Isn't space-time ninjutsu extremely complex? It must require very high chakra control skills, right? I also deal with some delicate chakra manipulation in medical ninjutsu, but compared to space-time ninjutsu, it feels like children playing house."

Kiyoshi turned his gaze to Sakura, and he did feel a slight appreciation for this hardworking and ambitious girl.

Although it's said that a simp who keeps licking his boots will end up with nothing.

Sakura herself is quite ambitious, otherwise she wouldn't have been taken in as a disciple by Tsunade.

Moreover, she is considered a pure commoner among the new three ninjas, while the other two are bloodline monsters.

Upon seeing this, Kiyoshi spoke up:

"The essence of space-time ninjutsu is the understanding and application of space. Chakra control is the foundation, but the core lies in perception and positioning."

Qing Si explained calmly.

The biggest challenge in space-time ninjutsu is sensing the corresponding coordinates. If there are no coordinates, even the caster won't know where they will end up.

Just like when Jiraiya first tried to summon spirits, he accidentally summoned Mount Myōboku.

If Jiraiya were to communicate with spirits in extreme places such as deep underground soil, magma, or high in the sky, it could very well cost him his life.

Sakura looked thoughtful.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Ino perked up again and smiled as she poured Kiyoshi another cup of tea.

"Since Mr. Kiyoshi is going on a long trip, you should definitely try my newly developed blended flower tea. I added a little honey to it, so it will taste even sweeter."

She tried her best to present a sunny and cheerful side, not wanting the sadness of parting to overshadow this precious time together.

Kiyoshi sat there quietly, listening to the two girls talk about interesting things in the village. He didn't join in the conversation, but simply savored the honey-sweet flower tea in his cup, enjoying a rare moment of peace.

After all, he was very busy every day, spending most of his time on cultivation, and he had very little time for himself.

As for truly relaxing, Kiyoshi felt that he needed at least the power to match that of the Otsutsuki god.

……

Outside Konoha Village.

Deep within a dense forest, the space rippled and twisted like water, and three figures stumbled out, looking rather disheveled.

It was Uchiha Obito, Black Zetsu, and the Second Tsuchikage Mu who used the crystal ball to escape the "Limited Tsukuyomi" world.

"Cough... I'm finally back."

Obito steadied himself, and his Sharingan beneath the mask scanned the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings, confirming that he was indeed in the Land of Fire in the real world.

Although he had left that false world, the spatial tearing sensation caused by forcibly crossing the world barrier still made him somewhat uncomfortable.

However, he was very happy, as he had finally dealt with Uchiha Kiyoshi.

"Hmph, that Uchiha Kiyoshi... I never thought I would be forced to use the core crystal ball to escape prematurely."

The White Zetsu, now possessed by Black Zetsu, then spoke:

"We must speed up the plan. While he may still be trapped in that world, we must complete the collection of the Tailed Beasts as soon as possible!"

The Second Tsuchikage, Mu, returned to reality, and fragments like mud paper stuck to his body, eventually reforming into his original physical form.

But beneath those bandages were unseen cracks.

Obito glanced at the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, and said:
"Let's return to the Land of Rain first. We need to assess the situation in Konoha."

He unleashed his divine power once more, and the spatial vortex swallowed the three of them.

……

The Country of Rain, Akatsuki Organization Base.

Pain and Obito's group, who had suddenly appeared, showed no reaction in their Rinnegan.

"It seems your experiment is not going well."

Pain's cold voice rang out, revealing neither joy nor anger.

This body, after all, was a puppet made from a dead person, devoid of any life.

"The plan has encountered a major change."

Obito succinctly informed Pain of the appearance of Uchiha Seiji in the "Limited Tsukuyomi" world, the terrifying power he displayed, and the circumstances that forced them to evacuate prematurely.

However, specific details about the connection between the Ten-Tails and the Divine Tree were omitted, only emphasizing that the appearance of the Ten-Tails and Uchiha Kiyoshi were a huge hidden danger that could threaten the "Eye of the Moon Plan".

"Someone who can suppress what appears to be the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki..."

Pain's tone finally changed somewhat.

"This is indeed a problem. What is the current situation in Konoha?"

"I'm not entirely sure yet, but Konoha's barriers have become much stronger in recent years."

Black Zetsu added.

He suspected that this was also the work of Uchiha Kiyoshi, which made it difficult for White Zetsu to infiltrate Konoha.

Pain, the Deva Path, remained silent for a moment. His goal was to collect the Tailed Beasts and create the ultimate weapon to achieve peace.

Anything that might hinder this goal must be eliminated.

But Uchiha Kiyoshi is the biggest obstacle.

"Before taking any formal action, we need to confirm Konoha's current strength, and... whether Uchiha Kiyoshi is truly trapped."

Pain made a decision.

"Kakuzu, Hidan."

The immortal duo, hidden in the shadows, revealed themselves.

Kakuzu's green eyes gleamed with a thirst for money, while Hidan's face was filled with fanaticism as he licked his blood-stained three-month scythe.

Hidan looked like a boy, with his short silver hair neatly combed back and pressed against his scalp.

His eyes were a purplish-red, giving him an agitated air. "Go to the border of the Land of Fire, create as much chaos as possible, test Konoha's reaction, assess their combat strength, and at the same time keep an eye out for any news about Uchiha Kiyoshi."

"Hehe, leave it to me, Lord Evil God needs more offerings!"

Hidan shouted excitedly.

The cult's doctrine is that everyone around must be killed, and these lives are the best sacrifices to please the evil god.

Kakuzu responded in a low voice:
"The payment will be the same as always."

He doesn't care what he does; as long as he gets paid, Kakuzu will do anything.

Even Kiyoshi, who had defeated him repeatedly, Kakuzu still dared to bite the bullet and go for it.

Anyway, it was just a test to gather intelligence. Kakuzu planned to run away as soon as anything happened and get the reward first.

Kakuzu looked at Hidan, feeling that the guy was mentally unstable and would be a good piece in a crucial moment.

It can draw the enemy's attention and create opportunities for him.

……

Limited Tsukuyomi world.

After saying goodbye to Ino and Sakura, Kiyoshi did not immediately return to reality, but instead began his next move.

He needs to provide more nutrients to the divine tree in the other dimension.

Finally, Kiyoshi spent several days obtaining information about Orochimaru from Konoha and interrogating Orochimaru to find out the location of Ryuchi Cave.

He immediately went to the depths of Ryuchi Cave, a place that was cold and damp, and covered with huge snake skins and skeletons.

He ignored the white snake immortal deep in the cave, who was watching with surprise and apprehension, and instead simply raised his hand and made a sweeping motion in the air.

It's sizzling!

The space seemed to have been torn open, with the other end connecting to the "Death's Belly Space".

Qing Si forcibly extracted a stream of natural energy from the Dragon Earth Cave, guiding it like a river of energy, continuously pouring it into the alternate dimension and flowing towards the divine tree.

The divine tree trembled slightly, eagerly absorbing the natural energy.

The flower buds above trembled, and seemed to grow a little larger.

Having done all this, Kiyoshi disappeared again without lingering.

The remaining address of the Myoboku Mountain residence was also obtained by Kiyoshi.

Minato Namikaze was easy to talk to, and under orders from the Konoha leadership, he also gave Kiyoshi the address of Mount Myōboku.

At this moment, Mount Myoboku is shrouded in mist, and the giant toad statue appears and disappears in the fog.

Kiyoshi's appearance did not cause much of a commotion; he appeared directly beneath the Toad Oil Waterfall.

Sensing the natural energy of this place, he then repeated the process, tearing through space once more to guide the natural energy of Mount Myōboku into the other dimension, nourishing the divine tree.

This time, the divine tree seemed much "pleased," greedily absorbing the gentle yet vibrant energy. The luster on its trunk seemed to brighten slightly, and the overall chakra fluctuations it emitted became even more powerful.

Kiyoshi sensed the divine tree's more stable and efficient growth rate and felt satisfied.

This divine tree, which he personally nurtured, using the power of his Sharingan and his own flesh and blood as its seedbed and absorbing the natural energy of the three holy lands, has potential far exceeding the ordinary.

Furthermore, Kiyoshi used some souls to nourish it, probably even better than the one used by Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Finally, his gaze fell in a certain direction within this "Limited Tsukuyomi" world.

With this matter settled, there was nothing more for him to do in the "Limited Tsukuyomi" world for the time being, so he could return to the real world.

He found a secluded mountaintop and reopened a stable passage to the "Death's Belly Space".

The black portal rotated and expanded, and from the other end came the humming sound of the divine tree absorbing energy.

Without further hesitation, he took a step forward, his figure completely disappearing into the black portal, and the spatial ripples slowly subsided.

…………

In the real world, Konoha Village.

Tsunade, who had just finished bathing, was wearing a loose and comfortable bathrobe and drying her wet golden hair with a towel.

The neckline of the bathrobe was slightly open, revealing a hint of the baby's size and the firm skin maintained by years of exercise.

A pair of plump, slender, and fair legs were faintly visible beneath the bathrobe.

Just then, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her slender waist from behind without warning.

Tsunade's body stiffened instantly, but the familiar chakra aura quickly relaxed her tense muscles.

She didn't turn around, but merely turned her head slightly, her tone carrying a hint of languor and reproach:
"Hmph, you rascal, we just met not long ago, what are you doing here so late?"

She could feel the person behind her gently resting their chin on her shoulder, their warm breath tickling her ear.

"It's been a while for me."

Kiyoshi said.

Tsunade paused slightly as she wiped her dazzling golden hair, turning her bright and beautiful face to the side with a hint of confusion.

"A period of time? What are you talking about? We haven't known each other for very long..."

Then Tsunade suddenly realized that Kiyoshi seemed to have become even stronger.

Kiyoshi didn't explain further, but simply tightened his arms around Tsunade, holding her even closer, and gently kissed her smooth neck, murmuring:
"Who knows..."

Qingsi smiled.

As expected, although each has its own merits, the demure Tsunade in "Limited Tsukuyomi" is ultimately not as imposing as the real Tsunade.

Kiyoshi's actions caused Tsunade's fair cheeks to flush red, and she swallowed back the questions she had wanted to ask.

"Tch... Don't give me that."

Despite her words, Tsunade leaned back more readily.

The next moment, Kiyoshi had already picked Tsunade up and carried her to the bedroom.

……

Outside the lounge, Shizune was holding a stack of Konoha Hospital documents that needed Tsunade's signature. She was about to knock on the door when she suddenly heard some noise.

The commotion froze her in place, as if she had been frozen in place.

Jingyin was no longer a woman who knew nothing, and a bittersweet feeling welled up in her heart.

In the end, Shizune still held the documents, head down, biting her lower lip tightly.

She stood there for a long time, until her legs started to ache, before finally taking out her keys to open the door.

Click.

The door was pushed open, and inside was Tsunade drinking cold water.

She changed into her usual sleeveless top and green jacket, paired with capri pants.

However, her pretty face was slightly flushed.

When Tsunade saw Shizune suddenly return, she was taken aback at first, and then somewhat awkwardly raised her hand to tidy her blonde hair at her temples.

Kiyoshi is still in the bedroom.

Tsunade was a little nervous. She cleared her throat and said softly:
"Silence, you've brought the documents? Why are you standing there?"

Shizune quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet Tsunade's gaze.

She quickly stepped forward and handed over the documents.

"I just got here."

Shizune's gaze inadvertently swept across Tsunade's face, noticing the radiance on her skin, like a flower that had been watered.

The bitterness in her heart intensified.

Tsunade quickly glanced at and signed the document.

"Alright, there's nothing urgent today. You've had a long day, so get some rest."

Her voice was much softer than usual.

"Yes, Tsunade-sama."

Shizune took the documents and went to the Hokage Building to hand them over.

……

Inside the bedroom, Kiyoshi walked to the window and looked out at Konoha from Tsunade's house.

"Come out."

He spoke calmly to the air.

A tall, graceful purple figure wearing a fox mask silently appeared, kneeling on one knee, her black trousers taut and revealing her rounded figure.

It was none other than Uzuki Yugao, the captain of the sixth squad of the Anbu.

Even in her loose-fitting undercover uniform, it was difficult to completely conceal the alluring curves formed by her slender waist and pert buttocks.

"Hokage-sama."

Uzuki Yugao's voice came through the mask.

"Pass down the order to raise the alert level in and around the village, especially in the border area of ​​the Land of Fire. Be especially careful of the New Dawn organization wearing black clothing with red clouds, and report to me immediately."

Qingsi spoke.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

"Itsuki Yugao said respectfully."

"Go."

Kiyoshi waved his hand.

Uzuki Yugao's figure vanished silently, as if blending into the shadows.

……

After Uzuki Yugao left, the bedroom door was gently pushed open, and Tsunade walked in.

She had completely calmed her breathing, but a trace of moisture remained in her beautiful brown-gold eyes as she looked at Qing Si with a hint of reproach mixed with tenderness.

"Kid, where have you been?"

Tsunade walked to the window and stood side by side with Kiyoshi, both gazing at the scenery of Konoha outside.

Kiyoshi reached out and naturally wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.

Tsunade struggled symbolically for a moment, then obediently leaned against his chest.

"A place that's a bit far away."

Kiyoshi briefly told Tsunade about his encounter with Obito and Black Zetsu in the "Limited Tsukuyomi" world, and that they might have returned to reality and accelerated their plans. He omitted the core secrets about the Ten-Tails and the God Tree, and only emphasized the increased threat posed by the New Akatsuki organization.

After listening, Tsunade frowned slightly, her expression becoming more serious.
"The New Akatsuki organization... those guys really haven't given up on their desire to destroy Konoha. It's necessary to strengthen our vigilance."

She looked up at Kiyoshi's chin.

"You just said that a period of time has passed for you... in that 'Limited Tsukuyomi' world?"

"Ah."

Kiyoshi nodded slightly and continued:
"I stayed there for a while."

"Did you encounter any interesting people or things in that fake world?"

Tsunade asked curiously.

"Indeed... we encountered some interesting mirrors."

Qingsi nodded.

Those mirrored figures, intertwined with the women around him in the real world, formed a contrast.

They have similar appearances, but due to their different experiences and environments, they exhibit very different personalities.

A bold idea quietly took root in Kiyoshi's heart.

Could he... have double the happiness?
Imagine the bold and domineering Tsunade of the real world alongside her quiet, reserved, and uniquely charming mirror image, Mirror Tsunade, from the Tsukuyomi world…

As Tsunade watched Kiyoshi deep in thought, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, a sense of unease inexplicably rose within her.

She knew this man too well; when he made that face, it usually meant he was plotting something... something very outrageous.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Tsunade gently nudged Kiyoshi's chest with her elbow.

"Don't get into any more dangerous schemes. The New Dawn organization is already troublesome enough." (End of Chapter)
