Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

The more she looked, the more incredulous her expression became.

Why is this happening?

Why are you standing with Kiyoshi?
And they're still standing so close?

What's with that girl's smile still lingering on her face as she looked at Kiyoshi?

Kiyoshi just returned yesterday, and today he has a beautiful, unfamiliar girl by his side.

Could it be... that Kiyoshi spent the year he was away with this strange woman?
Is it what people commonly refer to as forgetting the old love once a new one is found?
Countless question marks exploded in Hinata's mind like fireworks, making her feel dizzy. Her fingers, which were holding the bouquet, tightened suddenly, almost snapping the delicate flower stems.

A wave of bittersweet emotions welled up uncontrollably, causing her white eyes to narrow slightly.

Kiyoshi, upon recognizing Hinata, the leader of the group, remained calm and nodded.

"Hinata, what a coincidence."

Uchiha Hikaru immediately suppressed his smile and resumed his rather indifferent expression.

She could clearly feel the gaze from the elegantly dressed woman opposite her, like a tangible needle, filled with undisguised hostility.

She subconsciously took a half-step closer to Qing Si, as a way to prevent the strange woman opposite her from doing anything irrational and to stop her in time.

This subtle movement acted like a fuse, causing Hinata's nameless anger to flare up instantly.

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the question that was about to spill out, and forced a slightly roguish and assertive smile onto her face as she walked over with somewhat stiff steps.

But that smile looked somewhat distorted no matter how you looked at it.

"Yes, what a coincidence!"

Hinata, the leader, deliberately drew out her voice, which sounded like she was gritting her teeth, and her gaze swept back and forth over Uchiha Hikaru.

"I just heard from Ino that you're back, and I was wondering if we could run into each other, but I didn't expect... who is this...?"

She asked the last three words almost through gritted teeth, her gaze fixed on Uchiha Hikaru.

"This is Uchiha Hikaru, my clansman, or rather, my comrade."

The introduction by Qing Si was concise and to the point.

Then he said to Uchiha Hikaru, "Hikaru, this is Hinata Hyuga, the eldest daughter of the main branch of the Hyuga clan."

'Hinata?'

The image of that innocent, shy little girl flashed through Uchiha Hikaru's mind.

Is this woman her grown-up self?

"Hello."

Uchiha Hikaru said calmly.

She could clearly sense that this young lady Hyuga had an unusual possessiveness toward Lord Kiyoshi, as well as a strong aversion to her.

"Uchiha...Hikaru?"

Hinata, the eldest sister, chewed on the name, her jealousy swelling like fermentation.

A member of the Uchiha clan?
How come she's never seen it before?

And this name... suggests a family split?

Or an outsider?
"Companion? When did we meet? How come I didn't know?"

Her words were full of hostility, and she didn't even bother to cover it up.

Kiyoshi looked at Hinata, the leader of the group, who was on the verge of exploding, and then glanced at Uchiha Hikaru, who was frowning slightly because she was being targeted. He couldn't help but chuckle.

He reached out and gently ruffled the hair of Uchiha Hikaru beside him. This action startled Uchiha Hikaru slightly, and her cheeks flushed slightly, but she did not flinch.

Then, under Hinata's almost fiery gaze, he looked at her again, his tone flat:
"Hinata, Hikaru is an important subordinate and comrade of mine, but as for you..."

He paused, looking at Hinata's Byakugan, which was trembling slightly with nervousness, and a smile curved his lips.

"You are all people I approve of, there's no need for mutual suspicion. In a sense, you can all be considered my 'wings.'"

Qingsi said so.

Hmm, wings that haven't been picked yet.

He did not say the last sentence.

"Wings?!"

The eldest sister, Hinata, was stunned by this sudden word. The anger and jealousy on her face froze, instantly replaced by immense embarrassment.

She couldn't believe her ears!

Kiyoshi... how could he say something like that so casually?

Uchiha Hikaru was also stunned, looking up at Kiyoshi's calm profile, seemingly not quite understanding the deeper meaning of "wings" in this context.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Hinata's face instantly turned bright red, even the tips of her ears turned crimson. She stomped her foot in exasperation, wanting to lash out, but was rendered speechless by Kiyoshi's matter-of-fact attitude.

She discovered that she couldn't get angry at Kiyoshi at all.

"Let's go, let's go to Ino's place first."

Kiyoshi seemed oblivious to Hinata's embarrassment, turning around naturally and continuing towards the mountain flower shop.

Hikaru Uchiha silently followed.

Hinata, the eldest sister, stood still, her chest heaving violently as she watched Kiyoshi and Uchiha Hikaru walk side by side, especially the way Kiyoshi had ruffled Hikaru's hair earlier, which kept replaying in her mind.

A profound sense of loss, resentment, and a strange feeling of being forcibly incorporated into its "wings" intertwined.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and quickly followed, walking on the other side of Qing Si as if in a fit of pique, creating a peculiar situation of the three of them walking side by side.

She wanted to see just what was so special about this Uchiha Hikaru!
And so, a striking scene unfolded on the street.

A cool-looking, black-haired young man walked in the middle. To his left was a beautiful young woman wearing a long Uchiha robe, and to his right was a well-dressed young lady from the Hyuga main family, her face slightly flushed and showing a hint of anger.

Upon arriving at the mountain flower shop, Ino was arranging the newly arrived flowers. Hearing the sound of wind chimes, she looked up and saw Kiyoshi returning. Just as a smile appeared on her face, she noticed Uchiha Hikaru beside him, and... behind him, Hinata, the eldest sister whose expression was clearly not good.

"Mr. Kiyoshi, what's wrong... eh?"

"Big Sister Hinata, you too...and who is this?"

Ino's smile froze on her face as she stared at the strange combination in astonishment.

Especially Hinata's obviously sulking yet forced composure, and the unfamiliar but beautiful girl next to Kiyoshi, made her alarm bells ring slightly.

"Ino, I'm sorry to bother you."

Qingsi said.

"This is Uchiha Hikaru. He will be traveling with me for the time being. Hinata met him on the way, so they came together."

"Hello, I am Yamanaka Ino."

Ino quickly greeted Uchiha Hikaru, but her gaze couldn't help but sweep back and forth between Kiyoshi, Uchiha Hikaru, and the eldest sister Hinata.

Her woman's intuition told her that something unusual was amiss.

The sudden liveliness and subtle atmosphere at home made her feel uneasy.

"Hello."

Uchiha Kodo.

Afterwards, Ino temporarily suspended business at the flower shop and led Kiyoshi and the others to her home.

Looking at the living room, which suddenly seemed a bit cramped, and the subtle tension in the air, Ino's sense of crisis as the hostess prompted her to take immediate action.

"Um...please have a seat, I'll go prepare some tea and dinner."

As she spoke, she started to head into the kitchen.

"and many more."

Hinata, the leader, suddenly spoke up, puffing out her chest as if she wanted to get back at them.

"Ino, I'll help too, so you can try my cooking."

She emphasized this point, her gaze sweeping over Uchiha Hikaru.

She wanted to actively showcase her abilities.

Hikaru Uchiha stood quietly to the side, watching Ino and Hinata, the eldest sister, rush into the kitchen, and she pursed her lips slightly.

She really knew nothing about cooking.

During the Warring States period, being able to fill one's stomach was a luxury; exquisite cooking was an extravagance.

Although I learned common sense after arriving in the modern world, I haven't had time to practice cooking skills yet.

Kiyoshi noticed Hikari's subtle reaction and then glanced at the faint sounds coming from the kitchen, which carried a sense of competition. He thought it wouldn't be bad to let the three women stay together for a while and get to know each other better.

He still has things to do.

"You guys are busy first."

Qingsi spoke.

"I'll be right back. I'll be back soon."

Before Ino and Hinata could even respond, his figure blurred like a phantom and then disappeared completely.

It was the "Flying Thunder God Technique".

"Eh?"

Ino and Hinata, the eldest sister, both peeked out from the kitchen, only to see an empty living room and Uchiha Hikaru standing there looking somewhat bewildered.

He just left?

Are you just going to leave these three women here?
Ino and Hinata, the eldest sister, looked at each other. For a moment, the competitive feeling they had developed in order to perform well in front of Kiyoshi was inexplicably diluted by a subtle sense of alliance as fellow "those who were left behind".

Uchiha Hikaru quietly walked to a corner of the living room, sat down, closed his eyes to rest, and waited for Lord Kiyoshi's return.

Using the "Flying Thunder God Technique," Kiyoshi instantly left Konoha and appeared in a vast, boundless desert.

The scorching sun baked the yellow sand, and the heat waves distorted the distant scenery.

Here, the once prosperous ancient kingdom of Loulan should have stood, but in this "Limited Tsukuyomi" world, perhaps due to the change in the world line, Loulan did not rise to prominence.

Or perhaps it has long been completely buried under the sands of history, leaving only some broken stone foundations that vaguely reveal its former outline.

Kiyoshi's powerful perception spread out like seawater cascading down the land, penetrating deep underground.

Soon, he detected a powerful chakra source dormant deep underground, like a lurking dragon – Dragon Vein Chakra!

He walked to the center of a relatively flat sandy area, directly above the dragon vein chakra node.

Kiyoshi crouched down, placing one hand on the scorching sand, and a complex sealing technique appeared in his palm.

boom!
A massive, visible pillar of purple chakra suddenly shot into the sky from the ground beneath Kiyoshi's palm!

The beam of light was hundreds of meters in diameter and contained unimaginable chakra.

Kiyoshi forcibly extracted a massive amount of chakra from the depths of the earth's veins, continuously channeling it into the jutsu in his palm. Ultimately, it was compressed into an extremely condensed purple energy ball, which slowly rotated in his palm.

Just as Kiyoshi finished absorbing the dragon vein's chakra and was preparing to leave, a wary female voice rang out from behind a nearby boulder:
"who are you?"

A figure leaped onto the boulder and looked down at the scene.

She was a woman in her early twenties with striking long brown hair styled into a neat ponytail. She wore a Sunagakure headband with a horizontal line drawn on her forehead. She was beautiful with a healthy tan complexion and wore a revealing black mesh top and a tight-fitting combat suit, over which she wore a white Sunagakure-style short robe that accentuated her full, proud breasts and slender, powerful waist.

What is most striking is her smooth, unobstructed, beautiful back, her skin glowing with a healthy sheen under the desert sun.

It was none other than Yekura with the Scorching Release technique!
In this world, she also seems to have become a rogue ninja due to political intrigue, and wandered here.

Yekura originally sensed a strong chakra fluctuation here and came to investigate, but she never expected to see such an astonishing sight.

That mysterious ninja actually extracted the dragon vein chakra from this desert with his bare hands!

When she saw Kiyoshi's face clearly, she was even more shocked. Although they hadn't met much, she vaguely remembered that this was Kiyoshi, the mysterious and powerful ninja who had briefly appeared in the ninja world a year ago!
Kiyoshi's gaze fell on Yekura, especially on her distinctive attire and iconic beautiful back view, which lingered for a moment.

A thought flickered in his mind: perhaps Ye Cang in this world also has some value to be used.

A ninja with considerable strength and a bloodline limit, and being in the shadows makes him easier to subdue.

"Yakura with the Scorching Release..."

Kiyoshi spoke slowly.

"What was it like living the life of a wandering rogue ninja?"

Ye Cang frowned, adopting a wary posture:
"This is none of your business. What are you doing here? What was that chakra you just experienced?"

Kiyoshi didn't answer her question; instead, he extended an olive branch.

"Yakura, are you interested in taking a different path? Follow me, and you will gain the power you crave, and... everything that Sunagakure can offer you."

Ye Cang was stunned, not expecting the other party to extend an invitation so directly.

She looked into Kiyoshi's dark eyes and recalled the horrifying sight of him drawing out a massive amount of chakra with his bare hands, and her heart was in turmoil.

As a rogue ninja, she did crave power and longed to find someone to rely on to escape her current situation.

But... to trust a stranger so easily?

Kiyoshi didn't give her much time to think. He took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of Ye Cang.

Ye Cang was terrified. He tried to retreat, but found that he was not as fast as Qing Si and it was too late.

Kiyoshi reached out, his slender fingers gently brushing through Yoko's brown hair, then slowly sliding down her smooth back.

Wherever his fingertips touched, a subtle shiver ran through Yekura's skin.

"You...what do you want to do?!"

Ye Cang was both shocked and furious; she had never been treated so lightly by a man before!

This was completely different from what she had imagined about following!
When Kiyoshi's hand finally rested on her pert buttocks, which were covered only by a thin layer of fabric, Yokura's body froze completely.

A tremendous sense of humiliation and anger welled up inside me!

"Damn it! I came here to seek power, not to..."

"What I give you is power."

Kiyoshi interrupted her.

At the same time, the compressed dragon vein chakra in his palm, mixed with his own "Sage Chakra," instantly transformed into a complex and eerie purplish-black curse mark pattern, which was imprinted on the skin of Yekura's buttocks!

"Ugh!"

Yecang felt a scorching and immense power surge into her body, intertwining with her own Scorching Release chakra!
An unprecedentedly powerful feeling filled her limbs and bones, as if she could unleash terrifying flames at any moment.

Power... that was the power she craved!

The cursed seal took shape and slowly disappeared beneath the skin, leaving a mark that only appeared when chakra surged.

Kiyoshi withdrew his hand.

Ye Cang stood there, breathing slightly, feeling the surging new life force within her, her emotions extremely complex.

The power has indeed made a qualitative leap, but the way the power was acquired... is so shameful!
The location of that cursed seal... would remind her of this scene every time she used this power in the future!
"How does it feel?"

Kiyoshi asked casually.

Ye Cang took a deep breath, suppressing the shame, anger, and strange feeling in his heart, knelt on one knee, and lowered his head:
"Yakura...is willing to follow Lord Kiyoshi!"

The power is real, and that's enough.

In the ninja world, strength is everything.

As for other things... she didn't want to think about them for the time being.

"very good."

Qingsi nodded.

"follow me."

He activated Flying Thunder God again, and with Yekura carrying mixed feelings, instantly returned to the living room of the mountain flower shop.

The atmosphere in the living room remained somewhat awkward.

Ino and Hinata had just finished a fairly lavish dinner together and were about to set the table when Kiyoshi appeared out of nowhere, with another woman standing beside him!
A strange woman with a hot body, a beautiful back, and a gorgeous face that exudes wildness!

Ino nearly dropped the plate in her hand, her eyes wide with surprise.

Hinata, the leader of the gang, glared at him, her lungs practically bursting with rage!

How long has Kiyoshi been gone?
Is there half an hour?

Why did you bring back another woman?
And this woman's attire... is just too, too shameless!
Her back was almost down to her waist!
Kiyoshi... what exactly did he do outside?
Uchiha Hikaru opened his eyes and calmly looked at the newly appeared Yekura, a hint of inquiry flashing in his eyes.

Kiyoshi, seemingly oblivious to the fascinating expressions on everyone's faces, calmly introduced:
"This is Yekura, and she will be my companion from now on."

Ino tried her best to maintain a smile:

"Ah...won't you? I...I'll go and prepare another set of bowls and chopsticks."

As she spoke, she turned around and went back into the kitchen, somewhat dazed.

Yekura keenly sensed the strange atmosphere among the three women in the living room, and the different emotions they conveyed when they looked at Kiyoshi.

She was secretly astonished. This Lord Kiyoshi was incredibly powerful, but she never expected him to be so skilled with women as well.
What exactly is his ability to attract all these seemingly unique women to his side, and even to the point of subtle signs of jealousy and rivalry?

She secretly observed Qing Si's cold profile, her heart filled with curiosity.

Dinner took place in an extremely strange atmosphere.

Ino urged everyone to eat, but Hinata, the eldest sister, was sulking and couldn't eat. Her eyes kept sweeping over Kiyoshi, Hikaru, and Yotsuya.

Especially when she saw Yekura's mature and sexy figure, and compared it with herself, she felt inexplicably ashamed, and then became even angrier.

I can only console myself by thinking that mine is bigger.

Uchiha Hikaru ate quietly, his presence barely noticeable.

Yekura observed all of this.

Meanwhile, Kiyoshi calmly enjoyed his dinner, much like the eye of a storm.

After dinner, Kiyoshi didn't linger. He told them to rest and then used Flying Thunder God Technique to leave again.

He returned to the secluded valley, where the spatial portal remained functioning steadily, the "Box of Bliss" providing a continuous supply of chakra. Kiyoshi retrieved the condensed dragon vein chakra and began to infuse it into the spatial portal.

The spacetime capabilities contained within the Dragon Vein Chakra are far more suitable for stabilizing the flow of time than the dark chakra generated from the negative emotions of the "Box of Bliss".

Under his control, the purple dragon vein chakra merged with it.

The time dilation region, which initially exhibited some minor fluctuations, gradually became incredibly stable.

In the real world, the time flow ratio of one day to thirty days in this region is completely fixed, and the dependence on the Box of Elysium is greatly reduced.

Furthermore, Kiyoshi also synchronized with the world outside the time collision zone.

This makes it tend to have a time flow rate that is 1:1 with the real world.

Having accomplished this step, Kiyoshi was quite satisfied with the results of his trip.

A stable training base with thirty times the time acceleration, a passage connecting the two worlds, and the newly recruited subordinate Ye Cang.

When he used the Flying Thunder God Technique again and appeared near Konoha, preparing to return to the flower shop in the mountains, he suddenly encountered another woman.

She was a beautiful woman dressed in simple ninja attire, which made her figure appear very slender and graceful. She was carrying a basket of vegetables, as if she had just finished shopping and was heading home.

It was none other than Uchiha Mikoto.

Mikoto was startled when she saw Kiyoshi suddenly appear, but after seeing his face clearly, a look of surprise appeared on her face:

Kiyoshi...you're back?

Kiyoshi looked at Mikoto.

In this "Limited Tsukuyomi" world, Mikoto is even more dashing and heroic.

"You've become the clan leader now?"

Qing Si asked casually.

This is what Ino told me last night.

"Um……"

Mikoto nodded.

In the last great battle, both Fugaku and Shisui were seriously injured and unable to turn the tide, and both died.

She was also elected by her people as the new clan leader.

Fugaku and Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan were also carefully stored away.

"Is this so..."

Kiyoshi looked at Mikoto and suddenly had a new idea.

Where did you go for the year you disappeared?

Mikoto asked curiously.

Kiyoshi's disappearance was utter and complete; there was not a single trace of him in the vast ninja world.

If it weren't for Kiyoshi's undeniable strength, Mikoto would almost be wondering if Kiyoshi had died somewhere.

"I am from another world."

"!"

Mikoto was startled.

At that time, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Yotsuki Seiji, was talking about another world.

Is this really true?

"You're not joking?"

Mikoto asked suspiciously.

"of course not."

Qingsi shook his head.

“I do come from another world, a world very similar to this one.”

After a pause, Kiyoshi continued:
"Would you be interested in seeing another completely different world?" (End of Chapter)
