Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

As the sun set, a reddish twilight enveloped the leaves.

Kiyoshi personally escorted Hinata, who was somewhat tired from training, back to the Hyuga clan. When Hinata saw Kiyoshi, she simply lowered her eyes.

Hinata was grateful for Kiyoshi's guidance as her teacher, and looked somewhat nervous.

Kiyoshi smiled, gave a few casual replies, and then left.

As soon as I stepped onto the street outside the mansion, I encountered a familiar figure.

Uchiha Itachi stood quietly at the crossroads, seemingly waiting for something.

Upon seeing Kiyoshi approach, Itachi immediately stepped forward and respectfully said:
"Hokage-sama."

Itachi's tone was somewhat indifferent, but the respect in his voice was undiminished.

Itachi felt immense awe and admiration for his father, whose strength was unfathomable, whose methods were extraordinary, and who led the Uchiha clan to new heights.

"Just finished your training?"

Kiyoshi looked at Itachi and asked.

"Yes, I practiced with Shisui for a while."

A hint of fatigue appeared on Itachi's handsome face as he continued:
"I'm getting ready to go home."

"Perfect timing, I'm also going to see Mikoto and Sasuke, let's go together."

Qingsi said calmly.

"Yes."

Itachi nodded and silently followed behind Kiyoshi.

The two walked together on the streets of the Uchiha clan.

When the clansmen saw Kiyoshi, they all bowed and greeted him respectfully, their eyes filled with awe for the Fourth Hokage.

In the Uchiha clan, which reveres strength, Kiyoshi is undoubtedly the man standing at the pinnacle of power within the clan.

In addition, Kiyoshi was the first Hokage of the Uchiha clan in history, bringing unparalleled glory. The clan members were all bathed in this glory, which can be described as having stacked up all the buffs.

The debt of gratitude owed to Qing Si can never be repaid!
After traversing the open Uchiha streets, they arrived at Mikoto's mansion.

Before even entering the door, I could smell the aroma of food wafting from inside.

Pushing open the sliding door, Uchiha Mikoto, wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen carrying a plate of freshly cooked dishes.

She wore a simple and elegant home dress that accentuated her voluptuous and graceful mature curves. Her long hair was tied up, revealing her fair and slender neck, and she wore a gentle smile on her face.

When she saw Qing Si walk in, she was slightly taken aback at first, then her beautiful eyes instantly lit up with surprise, and two blushes immediately appeared on her fair cheeks.

"Kiyoshi, you've come!"

Her voice was joyful as she quickly placed the plate of food on the table and wiped her hands somewhat awkwardly on her apron.

"Why didn't you tell me beforehand? I would have prepared a few more dishes..."

The shyness and surprise of a married woman were fully displayed in her, and the coquettishness revealed in her mature charm had a unique and touching appeal.

"I just dropped Hinata off and stopped by to check on things."

Seeing her flustered state, Qing Si spoke gently.

"No need to prepare anything special, just a simple home-cooked meal will do."

"How can that be done!"

Mikoto quickly shook her head, her face showing her determination.

"You rarely come back... I'll go cook a couple more dishes, it'll be ready soon!"

As she spoke, she turned and quickly walked into the kitchen, her steps light and brisk.

Sasuke, who was practicing shuriken throwing in the living room, heard the noise and ran out.

Upon seeing Kiyoshi, a bright smile immediately spread across his usually stern face, and he rushed over excitedly.

"Father!"

There were too many people this afternoon, so Sasuke couldn't come over easily.

Today is a day to completely let loose and be myself.

Kiyoshi reached out and ruffled Sasuke's hair:
How did your practice go today?

"Great, I beat Naruto, and I can now hit three moving bullseye at the same time!"

Sasuke straightened his chest and proudly reported, his eyes filled with admiration for his father and a desire for recognition.

Itachi also showed a gentle smile as he watched his younger brother and father interact.

Soon, Mikoto prepared a sumptuous feast, a dish that looked, smelled, and tasted delicious, clearly the result of careful planning and preparation.

The family sat together at the dinner table.

Mikoto kept putting food on Kiyoshi's plate, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Sasuke also talked about the interesting things that happened at school and the progress of his training.

Clearly, Sasuke hasn't undergone the dark transformation depicted in the original work; he's much more cheerful now.

Itachi ate his meal silently, glancing at Sasuke from time to time.

After dinner, Sasuke was urged by Itachi to review his studies and then go to bed early.

After cleaning up the dishes and tidying up the kitchen, Mikoto took a shower.

After showering, she changed into a light purple silk nightgown. The soft, clinging fabric of the nightgown clearly outlined her full breasts, slender waist, and plump, pert hips.

She walked shyly to Qing Si, who was sitting in the living room drinking tea, her hands nervously clasped in front of her lower abdomen, her cheeks flushed, and said:
"Kiyoshi-kun...would you like...that...extra meal...tonight?"

She was referring to the nourishing late-night snacks that Qing Si would occasionally ask her to prepare, but the way she asked the question now, coupled with her blushing cheeks and sparkling eyes, clearly implied something more.

Kiyoshi put down his teacup, looked at the mature and delicate body that was faintly visible under the nightgown, and at Mikoto's shy and charming appearance, smiled slightly, and reached out to pull her into his arms.

"An extra meal... Purple is indeed very charming."

Kiyoshi gently lifted Mikoto's chin with his index finger.

Mikoto slumped into his arms, feeling his burning body heat and strong arms. Her whole body went limp instantly, her cheek pressed against his firm chest.

She blushed so much that her neck turned red, but she didn't resist at all. Instead, she reached out and gently wrapped her arms around his waist...

…………

The next day.

Meanwhile, on the border of the Land of Fire, the once lush forest was now a scene of devastation.

"Cough cough..."

Uchiha Tetsuka knelt on the ground. The vertical crystal channel on the chest of his sleek "Chakra Armor," covered with dragon scale-like patterns, was flashing an unstable pale pink light, clearly indicating a huge energy consumption.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his Sharingan fixed on the monstrous figure in front of him.

Beside him, Uchiha Inahisa, who was also wearing "Chakra Armor: Dragon," was in slightly better condition, but there were obvious signs of damage to the shoulder armor of his armor. His three-tomoe Sharingan was spinning wildly, trying to find a weakness in his opponent.

Their opponent was a ninja named Kakuzu, who wore a black robe with red clouds, his entire head covered by a mask, revealing only a pair of eyes that gleamed with a cold green light.

"Hmph, the Uchiha clan of Konoha is quite interesting."

Kakuzu's voice was low and hoarse, tinged with surprise.

"This strange armor must be a new type, different from the armor of the Land of Rain. It actually withstood my 'Earth Release: Earth Spear' and 'Lightning Release: False Darkness'... Looks like it can fetch a good price."

Not long ago, Uchiha Tetsuka and Inahisa, as leaders of the border patrol team, happened to be patrolling this area when they encountered Kakuzu, who was trying to infiltrate the Land of Fire and create chaos.

A battle immediately broke out between the two sides.

Initially, thanks to the powerful defense provided by "Chakra Armor: Dragon," which is the energy shield formed after activating the Dragon Vein Chakra, as well as the increased ninjutsu power and release speed due to Chakra amplification.

The fact that Uchiha Tekka and Uchiha Inahashi, two Jonin with three tomoe, were able to fight this bounty hunter who had lived for nearly a hundred years to a standstill is astounding as they thought.

Uchiha Tekka's "Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique" was enhanced by his armor, making its scale and temperature far exceed those of normal, forcing Kakuzu to avoid taking it head-on.

Uchiha Inahisa, relying on the speed provided by her armor, continuously harassed the enemy with her Sharingan's perception combined with swift taijutsu and swordsmanship.

Kakuzu was initially somewhat underestimating his opponent, and his robes were nearly torn by the katana imbued with "Lightning" chakra by Inahime, which thoroughly enraged him.

"Earth's Resentment!"

The stitches on Kakuzu's back burst open, and four black monsters wearing different masks burst out of his body.

Powerful ninjutsu of the four elements—wind, fire, lightning, and earth—were bombarded from different angles at Uchiha Tekka and Uchiha Inahi!

"Join forces to defend!"

Uchiha Tetsuka shouted loudly, and back to back with Uchiha Inahisa, he simultaneously injected a large amount of chakra into the channel on the chest of his armor!
hum!
The dragon scale patterns on their armor lit up simultaneously, and the pale pink chakra shields merged together to form a hemispherical protective shield!

Boom boom boom!
A violent explosion rang out on the protective shield, causing the chakra shield to flicker wildly, ultimately barely managing to block this wave of ferocious attack.

However, the immense impact also caused their blood and qi to surge, and their armor's energy to be rapidly depleted.

"We cannot afford to be passively defensive!"

A resolute glint flashed in Uchiha Inahime's eyes as her Sharingan precisely tracked the movement of the monster mask that was releasing lightning.

"Ironfire, cover me!"

"understand!"

Ironfire formed hand seals.

"Fire Release: Impatiens Flower Claws Red!"

Countless flaming shurikens rained down on Kakuzu and the other masked monsters, attempting to disrupt their attacks.

Taking advantage of this gap, Inahime concentrated all his chakra and armor energy into his feet, and the dragon scale pattern on his back spewed out a strong energy stream, making him shoot towards the lightning masked monster like a cannonball!
"Lightning Release: Lightning Stream!"

The masked figure opened its mouth as if to spew lightning.

"too slow!"

Inahime shouted, his three-tomoe Sharingan predicting its movements. The katana in his hand was wrapped with highly concentrated fire chakra, and he suddenly thrust it out at an incredible angle.

"Pfft!"

The katana pierced the Lightning Release mask with pinpoint accuracy!

The monster let out a shrill scream, then collapsed into a clump of black threads.

"One was successful!"

Dao Huo felt a surge of joy.

However, Kakuzu's true form let out a disdainful snort:

"idiot."

The limp black lines quickly flowed back into Kakuzu's body, and behind him, another blue masked monster representing the water attribute slowly emerged!

"what?!"

Tiehuo and Daohuo's expressions changed drastically. Is this guy immortal?!
Just as Kakuzu was preparing to launch a new attack, and Uchiha Tetsuka and Uchiha Inahi were in danger due to excessive consumption of chakra and armor energy, an impatient voice rang out:

"Hey, Kakuzu, haven't you finished here yet? You're so slow!"

A young man with silver slicked-back hair, wearing a black robe with red cloud patterns, carrying a huge, bloody crescent scythe.

He emerged from the shadows of the woods, an impatient expression on his face—it was Hidan!

"Huh? These two Uchiha brats are wearing weird turtle shells?"

Hidan licked his lips, his purplish-red eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty light.

"It seems the evil god will be enjoying some good offerings today!"

He brandished the Bloodstained Three-Month Scythe and charged toward Uchiha Tetsuka, who appeared to be even more exhausted!
"careful!"

Uchiha Inahi hurriedly reminded him.

Uchiha Tekka raised his arm, which was covered with a chakra shield, to block.

"clang!"

Sparks fly!

Hidan's strength was astonishing; Uchiha Tekka was forced to retreat repeatedly, his arm going numb.

"Hehe, it's useless, it's useless!"

Hidan laughed wildly, his attacks completely disregarding his own defense.

They were using a method of attacking with injury, just like a mad dog. Uchiha Tekka and Uchiha Inahisa attempted to fight back, and Hidan was slashed several times by kunai and blades.

He seemed to feel no pain, and his wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, making him even more excited.

"immortal?!"

Uchiha Tetsuka and Uchiha Inahisa were shocked; they had never heard of such an ability before.

With Kakuzu, who can use multiple elemental ninjutsu and seems capable of reviving masked monsters, they were completely put on the defensive.

"retreat!"

Uchiha Tetsuka acted decisively and shouted at Uchiha Inahashi.

If you don't know the opponent's strength and you're not in good condition, fighting head-on will only lead to your death.

Uchiha Inahisa understood, and the two of them simultaneously unleashed the remaining energy from their armor, creating a powerful energy shock that temporarily forced Kakuzu and Hidan back.

Using the mobility provided by the armor, they quickly retreated towards Konoha without looking back.

"Tch, that's fast."

Hidan spat in annoyance.

Kakuzu silently watched the direction they fled in, his green eyes gleaming.

"That armor... is very interesting. No wonder the Land of Rain has so much armor. Konoha's development is faster than I imagined. Is it all because of Uchiha Kiyoshi's appointment?... I should go back and report."

……

after one day.

Konoha, Hokage Building.

Today, compared to the previous emptiness, there were many more people, with the core figures of Konoha and the heads of various clans sitting on both sides.

Kiyoshi's gaze slowly swept over everyone present.

There were many people here this time because he had something to announce.

Since becoming Hokage, Kiyoshi has hardly managed the village, outsourcing most of the administrative work.

Tsunade sat to Kiyoshi's left, her expression grave.

Minato Namikaze, as the leader of Root, sat quietly in the shadows of a corner.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, the two Hokage advisors, as well as Danzo Shimura, were also among them, but their expressions were not very good.

"Everyone is aware of the situation."

Kiyoshi spoke, his voice carrying clearly throughout the conference room.

"The New Akatsuki organization is determined to destroy us. Border conflicts will become the norm. Konoha must make changes and meet future challenges with a stronger stance."

He paused and continued:

"Therefore, I have decided to carry out a series of reforms to Konoha's existing system."

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere in the conference room became even more tense.

"First, establish the Konoha Medical Department to manage Konoha Hospital and all medical ninja resources, develop new medical ninjutsu and medicines, and improve the overall medical level and battlefield medical treatment capabilities."

Kiyoshi turned his gaze to Hara Rin, who was sitting next to Tsunade.

"Nohara Rin, you are hereby appointed as the head of the medical department."

"Eh? Me?"

Nohara Rin pointed at herself in surprise, looking somewhat bewildered at Tsunade beside her and Minato in front of her.

She never expected that such an important position would fall to her.

"Lin, your talent for medical ninjutsu and your sense of responsibility are evident to all."

Kiyoshi affirmed.

"Go for it, Tsunade and Shizune will help you."

Tsunade also gave Rin an encouraging look.

Nohara Rin took a deep breath and stood up:

"Yes, Kiyoshi... I will do my utmost!"

"second."

Kiyoshi kept talking.

"A Konoha Research Department will be established to oversee the research and development of new ninja tools, sealing techniques, and even chakra technology. The 'Chakra Armor: Dragon' project will be transferred to this department."

His gaze fell on Tsunade.

"The head of the research department will be Tsunade."

Kiyoshi's consideration stemmed from the fact that the "Chakra Armor" would follow a biological path, making knowledge of the medical field essential.

In the original work, Naruto's arm is actually half biological and half mechanical. It can be detached to replenish chakra and can be used like a normal flesh and blood arm, with a sense of touch.

Tsunade preferred more freedom, but considering it was Kiyoshi's request, she nodded in agreement.

"I see."

She understood that Kiyoshi wanted to keep the most important technological research and development in his own hands.

"third……"

Kiyoshi looked at the classic Konoha F4.

That is, Danzo Shimura, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado.

"Effective immediately, the position of 'Hokage Advisor' is hereby abolished, and all decision-making power is transferred to the Hokage and his directly subordinate departments."

"what?!"

"How is this possible!"

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado slammed their fists on the table almost simultaneously, their faces flushed red.

Although Shimura Danzo did not speak, his grip on his cane tightened suddenly, and a cold glint flashed in his single eye.

"Kiyoshi, the Hokage advisor system was established by the First and Second Hokage to assist the Hokage and prevent him from acting arbitrarily. How can you just abolish it like that?"

Xiaochun, who had just moved to another room, questioned him sharply.

"To assist or to hinder?"

Kiyoshi looked at them coldly.

"Konoha doesn't need advisors who just rely on their seniority, are complacent, or even secretly hold us back. I have no interest in settling past scores, but from now on, Konoha will have only one voice."

The terrifying aura emanating from him instantly enveloped the entire conference room, as if the air itself had frozen.

Even powerful figures like Kakashi and Jiraiya felt their breath catch in their throats from that chakra, let alone Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

They were so overwhelmed by this aura that their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled. They couldn't utter another word and slumped back down.

Shimura Danzo stared intently at Kiyoshi, and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth:
"You'll regret this, Kiyoshi..."

And he said no more.

He knew that in the face of absolute power, any resistance was futile.

"Heh, Danzo, I am the Hokage."

Kiyoshi uttered a classic line.

Then Qing Si continued to announce:

"The root will be retained, but its functions will be adjusted to external intelligence gathering and special operations, and Minato Namikaze will continue to be in charge."

Minato Namikaze's response from the shadows:

"Yes."

"Fourth, a new Resources Department will be established."

Kiyoshi looked at everyone.

"We need large quantities of various types of rare ores and special materials for the mass production, upgrades, and future research and development of the 'Chakra Armor.' Minister of Resources,..."

His gaze swept over the crowd, finally settling on Nara Shikaku.

"Nara Shikaku, you will take on this role concurrently. You will be responsible for developing mining plans, coordinating resources from all parties, and ensuring the supply of materials."

Nara Shikaku paused for a moment, then replied:

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

"at last……"

Kiyoshi stood up, placed his hands on the table, and scanned the entire room.

"The intermediate ninja academy must be put into operation as soon as possible, and all families should encourage talented young ninjas to enroll for further study."

"The reforms begin immediately. Any objections can be raised now."

The conference room was silent.

Kakashi's eyelids drooped as he thought that Kiyoshi had finally exercised his rights as Hokage.

'Canceling the advisors… the Resources Department… it seems Kiyoshi intends to completely control Konoha and heavily invest in its military. Is this to counter that mysterious New Akatsuki organization?'

Hyuga Hizashi remained expressionless, pondering to himself:

"The Hyuga clan must keep pace with the Hokage. This reform is both a challenge and an opportunity."

Choza Akimichi patted his round belly, glanced at Shikaku, and they communicated with each other through their eyes.

Fugaku Uchiha, on the other hand, was depressed and thought more about Mikoto.

Unfortunately, things have changed.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado looked ashen-faced, while Danzo Shimura remained silent with his eyes closed, seemingly plotting something.

"Since there are no objections, then..."

Qing Sizhi stood up.

"Meeting adjourned. Department heads, get to work immediately."

Everyone stood up and left the conference room one after another.

…………

Outside the private operating room on the top floor of Konoha Hospital.

Kiyoshi pushed open the heavy isolation door and went inside. It wasn't the operating room where surgery was taking place, but rather a brightly lit observation and preparation room equipped with various advanced medical instruments.

Nohara Rin, who had just finished a highly complex nerve reconnection surgery, was facing away from the doorway. She took off her disposable sterile surgical gown, revealing the white doctor's uniform that Konoha Hospital was wearing underneath.

This doctor's uniform has clearly been modified to fit the body better, highlighting the girl's increasingly fuller curves.

Beneath the white skirt were a pair of slender legs encased in sheer flesh-colored stockings, and low-heeled shoes.

She seemed a little tired and was gently moving her stiff neck, not immediately noticing someone coming in.

Kiyoshi walked silently behind her, his gaze naturally falling on the curve of her back in her doctor's uniform, which was slightly tense due to her movements, and on the graceful lines of her calves encased in stockings that extended from under her skirt.

He habitually reached out, and his warm palm gently touched the elastic curve of Nohara Rin's waist and hips, which were encased in her nurse's dress.

"!"

Nohara Rin's body stiffened abruptly, like a startled fawn, and she almost cried out.

She instantly realized who was behind her, and her whole body, from her ears to her neck, quickly turned crimson.

She instinctively tried to dodge, but her body seemed to be frozen in place, her heart pounding.

"Seiji!"

She turned her face slightly to the side, revealing her flushed cheeks.

Kiyoshi's hand did not make any further excessive movements, but simply rested naturally against her, as if feeling the texture of her clothing and the body temperature beneath it.

He took a step closer, almost touching her back, lowered his head, and his chin nearly touched the top of her head. His cool and oppressive aura instantly enveloped Nohara Rin.

"This doctor's uniform suits you very well."

Kiyoshi's words made Nohara Rin's face flush even more, and she even found it difficult to breathe. She could clearly feel the warmth from behind and the presence of that hand. (End of Chapter)
