Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Chapter 463 Kurenai's Jealousy, and the Wind's Kiss

While Sarutobi Asuma was immersed in the bitterness of unrequited love, Kiyoshi and Yuhi Kurenai were still strolling through the streets.

At this moment, Xiao Nan, who was following behind the two, looked rather pitiful.

Her hands were now full of all sorts of beautifully packaged gift bags and boxes.

There are the latest silk kimonos with soft textures and elegant fragrances. And there are precious perfumes and skincare products in glass bottles.

These are all things that Kiyoshi bought for Kurenai Yuhi.

The bags and packages almost overwhelmed Xiao Nan, and she had to raise her arms slightly to avoid dragging the pretty bags to the ground.

Her black and white maid outfit looked particularly professional at that moment, and she pursed her lips, suppressing her emotions.

Uchiha Kiyoshi... that guy is awful!
Xiao Nan thought to herself.

But another day passed, and she told herself that she had to endure it, that she would be free soon.

Konan followed silently behind the two, watching Kurenai affectionately link arms with Seiji, occasionally pointing at a product and whispering softly. Although Seiji didn't say much, his tacit approval and even indulgence were obvious.

Konan scoffed inwardly. Uchiha Kiyoshi was really getting more and more corrupt. This was a conversation between the Hokage and the Daimyo, a very serious matter for both the country and the ninja village.

As a result, Uchiha Kiyoshi used the pretext of a visit to travel around sightseeing.

She could only silently count down the remaining terms of her maid service in her mind to keep going.

Soon, the three arrived at the entrance of a jewelry store with elegant decor and few customers, where Qing Si stopped again.

Kiyoshi did not immediately enter the store. Instead, he glanced at the mountain of items in Konan's hands, and then took out a small wooden box from a hidden compartment in his ninja tool bag.

When Xiao Nan caught sight of the box, her first thought was:

"And another thing? Did this guy squander the entire Naruto budget on this?"

Almost reflexively, she adjusted the weight of the bag in her hand, preparing to take on the next burden.

However, to her and Kurenai's surprise, Kiyoshi did not hand the seemingly valuable wooden box to Kurenai beside him. Instead, he turned around and walked to Minami in two steps.

Xiao Nan was slightly taken aback, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes as she looked at him with some bewilderment.

Kiyoshi handed the wooden box directly to her, his tone remaining as indifferent as ever:

"Take it."

Xiao Nan was stunned, her hands were full of food, and she didn't know how to react for a moment.

give her?

why?
Should we let her keep it temporarily and then give it to Kurenai later?
Seeing that she didn't move, Qing Si didn't urge her. He simply turned his wrist slightly and stuffed the wooden box into the gap between the two larger gift bags she was carrying, making sure it was securely in place and wouldn't fall out easily.

"This is……?"

Xiao Nan finally couldn't help but speak up.

Kiyoshi looked at her puzzled eyes and smiled, saying:
"For you."

"...?!"

Xiao Nan was completely stunned, her pupils slightly contracting in surprise.

give her?

Is it really for her?

How can this be?

Did Uchiha Kiyoshi change his surname?

She subconsciously looked down at the sandalwood box that was securely nestled in the middle of the bag.

The man who forced her into this humiliating outfit and bossed her around is now... giving her a gift?

This made her feel even more lost and confused than if she were directly punished.

Kurenai blinked her ruby-like eyes in surprise, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Seiji and Konan, her red lips slightly parted, clearly equally surprised.

Xiao Nan's mind went blank for a moment, filled with confusion.

The thought of refusing came to mind almost immediately.

She wanted to throw the box back to preserve her dignity, which was already crumbling under days of humiliation.

But reason told her that doing so would likely anger the other party and lead to worse consequences.

In the end, under Kiyoshi's gaze, Konan simply bit her lower lip even harder.

"Thank you."

Xiao Nan said somewhat awkwardly.

"You're welcome."

Qingsi spoke.

He then turned around and took Kurenai's hand again.

"Let's go, it's getting late, we should head back."

Kurenai suppressed the subtle jealousy surging in her heart, nodded, and nestled against him as they continued walking towards the residence arranged by the Daimyo Prefecture.

But when she turned back to look at the wooden box in Xiao Nan's hand, her eyes narrowed slightly.

This woman...

In the end, Kurenai Yuhi said nothing.

Xiao Nan remained silent, carrying the heavy gifts and the even heavier present, following behind the two.

For the next two days, Kiyoshi seemed to genuinely treat this trip as a pure vacation.

He took Kurenai and Minami and toured almost all the famous tourist attractions and commercial areas of the capital.

Enjoy local cuisine, watch traditional performances, and stroll through a variety of shops.

Kurenai was naturally happy; this peaceful life was exactly what she had always dreamed of.

However, her keen female intuition made her feel a pang of jealousy, even though she knew that Qing Si's identity and strength meant that she would not be the only one by his side.

But witnessing another strikingly beautiful woman attract his attention was ultimately not a pleasant experience.

She could only suppress this slight unhappiness in her heart and cling to Qing Si even more, trying to dispel that unease.

All of this was observed by the "radical" guardian ninjas who were secretly watching.

Kazuma and others believed that Kiyoshi was indulging in a life of pleasure and would inevitably be less vigilant, making it the perfect time to take action.

They intensified their planning, mobilized manpower, and prepared to launch an attack at night, creating a seemingly accidental chaos to take the opportunity to eliminate the young Hokage.

That night.

Kiyoshi sat alone by the living room window, seemingly admiring the moonlight, but in reality, his senses had already enveloped the surrounding area like an invisible net.

Suddenly, a very faint fragrance drifted in on the breeze.

The newcomer had long, fluffy hair and a bewitching face. She was one of Kazuma's subordinates, a ninja skilled in using ninjutsu to absorb chakra, and was named Fufeng.

"Hehehe... Is this the Fourth Hokage of Konoha? He's really... so handsome it's breathtaking."

Bu Feng's voice was sticky and magnetic as she swayed her serpentine waist, approaching Qing Si step by step.

"The night is long, doesn't the Hokage feel lonely all alone?"

Qing Si slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on Bu Feng.

"How many people's chakra have you 'tasted' in this way?"

he asked directly.

Bu Feng paused slightly, then smiled even more alluringly. She approached Qing Si, almost pressing herself against him, her breath sweet as orchids.

"The Hokage is really direct... However, you might become the first person I can never forget after 'tasting' you."

Her words were full of confidence.

Upon hearing this, a knowing glint flashed in Kiyoshi's eyes.

It seems that this timeline is earlier than he expected, and Bu Feng has not yet become the kind of woman he could casually taste as in the original work.

Perhaps this is one of the butterfly effects he caused?

In short, the current trend is truly pure.

As Kiyoshi watched quietly, a triumphant smile flashed in Bu Feng's eyes. Bu Feng stretched out his arms to wrap around Kiyoshi's neck, stood on tiptoe, and pressed his luscious red lips to Kiyoshi's lips.

The instant their lips met, she immediately activated her unique secret technique, "Corpse Demon Kiss"!
A powerful suction force emanated from her lips, attempting to frantically plunder the chakra within Kiyoshi's body.

However, the next moment, Bu Feng's charming smile froze on her face, replaced by extreme horror!

She felt as if she wasn't absorbing chakra, but trying to devour a bottomless, vast ocean!
The amount of chakra within Kiyoshi's body was far greater than she had imagined. What was even more terrifying was that the nature of this chakra was completely different from any chakra she had ever absorbed before; it was purer and more domineering!
In just a moment of contact, the chakra that surged into her body made her feel a throbbing pain in her meridian system, as if it were about to burst at any moment!
Bu Feng immediately wanted to interrupt his ninjutsu and retreat.

However, she wanted to withdraw, but Kiyoshi wouldn't allow her to.

Just as Bufeng tried to break free, Qingsi's arm wrapped around her supple waist like an iron clamp, holding her firmly in his embrace.

Bu Feng stared wide-eyed in terror, forced to passively endure the relentless influx of the vast and domineering chakra.

Her body began to tremble uncontrollably, and an abnormal blush appeared on her skin. She felt like a balloon about to burst.

Just when Fufeng thought he was about to die, Kiyoshi took the initiative to end the "kiss".

He released his arm, and Bu Feng suddenly felt as if all his strength had been drained away. He collapsed softly to the ground, panting heavily, his whole body drenched in sweat.

"how is the taste?"

Kiyoshi's lips curled up slightly.

In the original work, only Bu Feng possessed this skill, but judging from her clumsy technique, it was indeed her first time.

Before Bufeng could say anything, Qingsi patted Bufeng on the shoulder.

Black curse marks suddenly appeared and climbed onto Bu Feng's body.

"Two choices."

Qingsi continued:
"Submit, or die."

Feeling the immense power contained within the cursed seal, Bu Feng dared not resist at all.

She had no doubt that if she dared to say no, she would be turned to ashes in the next second.

Faced with an absolute disparity in strength and the threat of death, her meager abilities seemed utterly laughable.

“...I...surrender.”

Bu Feng lowered his head, his voice trembling.

"Go back and tell Kazuma that you failed. Don't reveal that I've placed a curse mark on you. The plan will proceed as scheduled."

Qing Si gave the instructions.

"You can go now."

As if granted a pardon, Bu Feng struggled to her feet, not daring to linger for a moment, and staggered into the night, her alluring charm gone.

After dealing with this minor incident, Kiyoshi turned and headed towards Kurenai's bedroom.

For him, this was just a little something to do at night.

As for the woman Bufeng, Kiyoshi plans to hand her over to her senior, Tsurugi Fubuki, to deal with later.

Give her a just correction.

After dealing with Bu Feng's matter, Kiyoshi pushed open the side door at the end of the corridor.

"Xonan."

Kiyoshi said.

Konan, dressed as a maid, was in the outer room organizing the many paper bags and gift boxes she had brought back during the day.

Hearing the call, she paused and looked up.

"...Seiji."

She put down the ribbon in her hand, straightened her apron which was slightly disheveled from her busy work, and walked over quickly.

Despite wearing a somewhat humiliating maid outfit, she maintained the dignity of a ninja with her gait.

"Come in."

Qingsi spoke.

Xiao Nan was taken aback for a moment, but still obeyed and entered the room.

Only one light was on in the room, casting a soft, warm, and dim glow that illuminated Qing Si's slender figure.

"You called me...is there something you need?"

Xiao Nan managed to keep her tone steady.

Kiyoshi raised his hand and gently pointed to the spot in front of him.

"come over."

Xiao Nan paused slightly.

She always felt that Qing Si calling her wouldn't mean anything good.

But after thinking it over, Xiao Nan still went.

The next moment.

“Sit on top.” Kiyoshi stretched out his hand, pointed to his thigh, and then gently placed it on Konan’s waist.

Xiao Nan froze.

"...Where should I sit?"

"On the legs."

Qingsi smiled slightly.

Yes, that's part of a maid's job.

This is for better communication.

Xiao Nan's cheeks flushed slightly, and her fingertips unconsciously tightened around the hem of her skirt.

Her black and white maid outfit was a bit short, with the hem just reaching mid-thigh. She could imagine what it would be like to sit on a man's lap.

The words of refusal rose in her throat, but she swallowed them back down.

Her self-esteem struggled and resisted, but was firmly suppressed by reality.

After a long pause, she pursed her lips, as if she had made an extremely difficult decision, and gently sat on Qing Si's lap.

Her body was stiff with tension, her shoulders trembled slightly, and her hands rested awkwardly on her sides.

Kiyoshi chuckled softly as he looked at her stiff expression.

"relax."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and rubbed the black stockings that hung down his thigh.

Those were the black stockings that Xiao Nan was forced to wear today; they were smooth and fine, with a slight coolness to them.

As her fingertips traced the subtle texture of the fabric, Xiao Nan gave a slight jerk, leaning forward a little.

"Qing, Qingji!"

She frantically grabbed his shoulder, but this only brought them closer together.

"Call me sir."

Kiyoshi said.

"Seiji...sir."

Xiao Nan pursed her lips.

Kiyoshi spoke calmly:
"Ask you something."

Xiao Nan's breathing became rapid:

"……Yes."

"How is the Land of Rain doing lately?"

This sudden serious question startled Xiao Nan, who seemed not to have expected him to inquire about government affairs.

But her ninja instincts allowed her to quickly adjust her thoughts.

"...Although no large-scale war has occurred, small-scale conflicts continue to occur along the border...but they have been brought under control. As for Yahiko...his belief in peace remains strong, but he is somewhat too...idealistic in dealing with the issue of forces in various regions."

As she said this, her eyes flickered.

Kiyoshi could tell that he was worried.

Do you think he can handle it?

Qingsi asked.

Xiao Nan bit her lip:

“I…believe him. But the situation in the Land of Rain is far more complicated than he imagines.”

Kiyoshi didn't say much, just nodded slightly, but his hand didn't leave her black-stockinged thigh, his fingertips slowly gliding along the fabric's texture past her knee.

He looked down at Xiao Nan's toes.

The black stockings were very tight around the instep, showing a soft curve. The toes were wrapped in thin stockings and curled slightly. They seemed to have a rosy tinge from walking around all day.

Xiao Nan noticed that his gaze instantly fell on her feet, and her toes reflexively tightened.

A wave of shyness washed over me.

"What...what are you looking at!"

Her voice was so soft it was almost shattered.

Kiyoshi looked up at her flushed cheeks:
"What's there to be afraid of? It's not like we haven't been through this before."

One sentence made Xiao Nan catch her breath.

She remembers...

Of course she remembered what happened in the Land of Rain and in Kiyoshi.

The shameful memories that had been buried deep in my heart all surged up at this moment.

Her heart was pounding so hard it was completely out of control, unlike the usual Xiao Nan.

"I……"

She wanted to explain, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Kiyoshi didn't give her any more room to escape. He raised his hand and gently cupped her cheek.

Xiao Nan's pupils contracted.

Then Kiyoshi kissed him.

It's not the kind of hasty and superficial technique that's not good.

Instead... it is soft and steady.

Xiao Nan's breathing was cut off, and her heart felt like it had been hit, pounding so fast it hurt.

She could feel Kiyoshi's presence, feel his rhythmic breathing, a feeling of being completely enveloped.

"Well."

She tried to lean back, but Kiyoshi held her even tighter.

When the kiss ended, Xiao Nan's eyelashes trembled slightly, her breathing became disordered, and her cheeks turned as red as a red spider lily blooming in spring.

"Why are you……"

she wanted to ask.

But Kiyoshi gently pressed his hand to her lips and spoke softly:
"I have a question for you."

"...W-What?"

"Paper escape."

Kiyoshi said.

Xiao Nan was stunned.

Kiyoshi looked into her eyes:

“Continue to teach me the rest of the ‘paper’ magic.”

Previously, Kiyoshi had Konan teach him some basics in the Land of Rain, but it hasn't been compiled into an entry yet.

Kiyoshi guessed that his understanding of the matter was not yet sufficient.

Xiao Nan remained silent for a while before raising her eyes.

She raised her hand slightly.

The chakra at his fingertips dissipated, quietly permeating the air.

Tiny white pieces of paper, as if summoned, floated quietly between her fingertips and palm.

"The 'Paper' Release technique is like this; it's a very common jutsu. However, I don't know if it's because of the special nature of my chakra, but I can do even more."

Kiyoshi narrowed his eyes slightly.

The original work mentioned that many ninjas could use the "paper" technique, but only Konan could use it to such an extent.

The ability to create the so-called 6000 billion explosive tags is inseparable from Konan's "paper" escape technique.

Otherwise, the cost of these materials alone would be astronomical.

To put it bluntly, the Akatsuki organization simply cannot afford this amount of money.

For a major country's finances, this is also a very damaging thing.

Xiao Nan continued:
“I have struggled through torrential rain, mud, and famine... Those experiences forced me to learn to make my chakra... as light as paper, yet sharp, capable of providing a lifeline in the face of drowning.”

She raised her hand, and a piece of paper quietly flew into Qing Si's palm.

"Well, go on."

Kiyoshi said.

He then had Konan demonstrate in front of him, her crimson Sharingan beginning to rotate.

Xiao Nan took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and focused her attention on teaching.

Kiyoshi was able to detect every single flow of chakra within Konan's body, as well as the changes in the nature of chakra as it transformed into a solid piece of paper.

"Okay."

Xiao Nan said in a low voice, and she began to form hand seals.

"This is the most basic form, the 'paper kunai'."

As she completed her hand seals, the suspended paper instantly took shape, transforming into dozens of white kunai that closely resembled real kunai.

Kiyoshi nodded slightly, signaling to continue.

Xiao Nan continued the demonstration.

She demonstrated all the applications of paper magic she had mastered, from attack to defense, from support to reconnaissance.

She explained it in great detail, including techniques for chakra output, key points for maintaining form, and variations in application under different circumstances.

Kiyoshi watched intently, his Sharingan recording everything. His mind raced, combining Konan's explanations and demonstrations with his own profound understanding of the nature of chakra, constantly trying to grasp the core principles of "Paper" Release.

"That's basically all I know."

Konan looked at Kiyoshi and said in a complicated tone.

She didn't know how much this man could learn from her, but that look in his eyes made her feel completely exposed.

Kiyoshi closed his eyes, seemingly processing the information he had just received.

A few seconds later, he opened his eyes again, his crimson Sharingan still slowly rotating.

He didn't form a hand seal; he simply raised his right hand.

The next moment, under Konan's slightly shocked gaze, a wisp of pure chakra flowed from Kiyoshi's fingertip, rapidly condensing and transforming, ultimately becoming...

A white square piece of paper with slightly rough edges, but almost identical in shape to her paper!
The piece of paper floated on his fingertip, trembling slightly, seemingly unstable, but it was indeed the product of "paper" magic!
"How can this be?"

Konan gasped in surprise. Although she knew that Kiyoshi possessed incredible learning abilities, she was still amazed to see him successfully reproduce the basics of the "Paper" Release, a bloodline limit, in such a short time simply by observing and listening to lectures.

The shock was still indescribable, completely exceeding the scope of "genius".

No wonder Kiyoshi learned the "Transparent" technique so quickly!
Kiyoshi ignored her surprise. He frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with the roughness of the paper.

He subtly adjusted the chakra output at his fingertips, and the piece of paper became smooth at the edges and uniform in texture at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Immediately afterward, with a thought, the piece of paper quickly folded and hardened, turning into a small and sharp paper kunai, which shot out with a whoosh and pierced through the wall.

Subsequently, he tried basic applications such as condensing paper rain and building simple paper walls, but the scale was far less grand than when Xiao Nan performed, and the changes in form were also somewhat awkward.

However, its core principles and chakra circulation methods have been fully mastered and are being optimized at an astonishing speed!

Just then, the familiar panel reappeared in Kiyoshi's field of vision.

"You have mastered the entry: [Paper Escape (Purple)]".

[Entry: Paper Escape (Purple)]

[Requirement achieved: Students must be personally instructed by Xiao Nan in the Paper Escape Technique and successfully master its core principles and various applications.]

【Progress: (Completed).】

[Effect: Your speed of training "Paper" Release ninjutsu will increase by 100% from the original speed.]

Your perception of "Paper" Release ninjutsu will increase by 100% from its original level.

The power of your "Paper" Release ninjutsu will increase by 100% from the original level.

Your ability to precisely control the combination of form and nature of chakra has significantly improved.

【Note: You can continue to advance later. 】

Kiyoshi glanced at the panel and then closed it.

The effect of the purple attribute was as expected, which would undoubtedly allow him to master and develop his own paper-based escape technique more quickly.

He dispersed the chakra from his fingertips, and the unformed piece of paper turned into specks of light and disappeared.

He looked at Xiao Nan, who was still in shock, and said calmly:
"Alright. You can go back now."
