Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Hinata, the eldest sister, suppressed all her emotions and resentment and began to watch Kiyoshi's every move and detail with utmost seriousness.

Following Kiyoshi's guidance, he readjusted the flow of chakra within his body and the angle and technique of his attacks.

After guiding Hinata, who had gained a lot, Kiyoshi left her in the backyard to digest her insights and then activated the "Flying Thunder God Technique" once again.

The next moment, he appeared in the Hokage Building office in the "Limited Tsukuyomi" world.

Although it was late, the office, which symbolized the center of power in the village, was still brightly lit.

He pushed the door open and went in, only to find Wenjing Tsunade still behind her large desk, writing furiously and dealing with a mountain of documents.

The Tsunade of this world is less bold and unrestrained, but more gentle, calm, and scholarly, and even wears a pair of frameless glasses on her nose.

"Still processing documents so late?"

Kiyoshi walked to his desk and casually asked a question, his gaze sweeping over the files on the desk labeled "Resource Allocation," "Chunin Exam Contingency Plan," and "Border Patrol Report."

Tsunade, who was quiet, looked up when she heard the voice. She saw that it was Kiyoshi, raised her hand to rub her throbbing temples, and looked very surprised.

Has Kiyoshi returned here again?
They disappeared for a whole year.

Seeing Tsunade's surprised expression, Kiyoshi smiled.

With his strength, he could stay here for a while without being discovered by the Konoha Anbu, and naturally, the serene Tsunade, as the Hokage, would not know about it.

After a brief moment of surprise and astonishment, the serene Tsunade composed herself.

"Yes, there's no way around it. There are a lot of documents that need to be approved recently, and we also need to communicate and confirm with Sunagakure about the details of jointly hosting the next Chunin Exams."

She put down her pen and leaned back in her chair.

"What's up?"

"Ah."

Kiyoshi sat down in the chair opposite the desk and got straight to the point.

"I would like to consult the village's collection of books on the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, especially the secret scrolls that involve advanced barrier construction and space-time ninjutsu."

"The sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan?"

Tsunade's face showed obvious surprise. She pushed up her glasses and looked at Kiyoshi with a puzzled expression.

"Why are you suddenly interested in this? Besides... our Konoha doesn't actually have many collections of the Uzumaki clan's core sealing techniques."

She explained patiently.

"Although the Land of Whirlpools has always maintained a very good alliance with our Konoha, and has been on good terms for generations, their clan's truly secret and powerful sealing techniques have always been regarded as the foundation of their nation and will not be easily revealed to their allies. This is their tradition."

What we in Konoha possess are mostly basic or simplified, universal sealing techniques.

Upon hearing this, Kiyoshi raised his eyebrows slightly.

The Land of Whirlpools in this world still exists and is an ally of Konoha?
This is quite different from the history of the real world.

He grasped this crucial information and continued to probe subtly:

"I remember you are a direct descendant of the Senju clan. Your grandmother... should be Lady Uzumaki Mito, the wife of the First Hokage, right? The Senju and Uzumaki clans have a long history of intermarriage, so logically..."

He tried to find a breakthrough by looking at the blood ties in this world.

However, Tsunade's expression of doubt deepened, and she shook her head directly, denying Kiyoshi's guess:
"No, Kiyoshi, you must be mistaken. My grandmother was Senju Momoka, a great-grandfather Tobirama's right-hand woman, and an exceptionally skilled sensory ninja."

Mito Uzumaki... In my memory, she was a very famous female ninja from the previous generation in the Land of Whirlpools, with a high status. However, although our Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan are closely related, we do not have a direct blood-related marriage relationship, at least that's what my family records say.

Are you confusing some folk tales with official history?

Kiyoshi understood completely.

As expected, the changes in this "Limited Tsukuyomi" world have truly penetrated every aspect of life. Even the most well-known marriage history between the Senju and Uzumaki clans has been completely rewritten, turning them into mere strategic allies.

Therefore, it seems that trying to obtain those powerful, top-tier sealing techniques originating from the Uzumaki clan from Konoha in this world through the bloodline of the Senju clan is completely impossible.

"I see. I must have misremembered, or I read some inaccurate records."

Kiyoshi remained expressionless, readily agreeing and nodding without revealing any disappointment.

Kiyoshi received clear information from the gentle Tsunade that the Uzumaki Mito of this world was not Hashirama Senju's wife, but the current head of the Uzumaki clan in the Land of Whirlpools, and had long resided in the vibrant Uzushiogakure village.

He quickly adjusted his plan. His goal of acquiring advanced sealing techniques remained unchanged, but the method now required shifting to this esteemed clan leader whose strength was unknown.

"So Lady Mito is in the Land of Whirlpools."

Kiyoshi's expression remained calm, as if he had merely confirmed a trivial location.

"I understand, thank you. I won't disturb you any longer while you're handling your official duties, Tsunade."

Wenjing Gang pushed up her glasses and looked at Qing Si with curiosity.

Kiyoshi's sudden return after disappearing for a year, and his unusual interest in the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, puzzled her.

But she didn't ask any further questions, simply nodded, and refocused her attention on the mountain of files piled on the table:
"Well, it's okay."

Kiyoshi nodded slightly and quietly left the brightly lit Hokage's office.

Instead of immediately setting off for the distant Land of Whirlpools, he returned to the mountain flower shop first, where there were still people who needed to be taken care of.

A subtle quiet permeated the living room of the florist.

Ino was facing away from the doorway, carefully wiping a crystal vase with a soft cloth.

Uchiha Hikaru sat upright on the sofa in the corner, holding a cup of tea that had long since stopped steaming. His dark eyes stared blankly into the void, seemingly lost in his own thoughts, radiating an aura of detachment that kept strangers at bay.

Hinata, the eldest sister, stood in stark contrast to Hikaru Uchiha's quiet demeanor. She paced restlessly in the living room, her hands in her pockets.

His white eyes kept glancing towards the door, his face a mixture of "I'm so bored" and "Why isn't that guy back yet?"

Kiyoshi appeared in the center of the living room without warning, as if he had always been there.

"Mr. Seiji!"

"Lord Seiji!"

Ino and Uchiha Hikaru reacted almost at the same time.

Hinata, the leader, suddenly stopped in her tracks and quickly turned around.

"It's so late, let's get some rest."

Qingsi said.

Seeing this, the women had no choice but to disperse.

The next day.

Hinata, the eldest sister, arrived at the Ino residence early in the morning looking for Kiyoshi.

At this moment, Kiyoshi and Uchiha Hikaru also got up.

"Hikaru, get ready, we're going out together."

Kiyoshi's gaze fell on Uchiha Hikaru.

"Yes, Lord Seiji."

Uchiha Hikari didn't hesitate at all; she didn't even ask where she was going or what she was going to do.

Ino said: "Be careful on the road, Mr. Kiyoshi."

Hinata, the leader, suddenly turned around, her lips moving as if she wanted to ask, "Where are you taking her?" or "I want to go too!"

But the words stuck in his throat, and he swallowed them back down. Instead, he sullenly sat back down on the sofa, hugged a cushion, buried his face in it, and only his eyes, which were secretly observing, were visible.

Kiyoshi ignored the complex emotions permeating the air and directly activated the "Flying Thunder God Technique" with Uchiha Hikaru in tow.

The next moment, the two disappeared from the warm living room and appeared in a secluded forest on the outskirts of the Uchiha clan's territory in the "Limited Tsukuyomi" world.

The tribe's territory in this world appears more prosperous and vibrant. From afar, one can see buildings bearing the tribal emblem of the round fan arranged in an orderly fashion.

There were also many Uchiha clansmen coming and going on the streets. Although they still retained some of the Uchiha's characteristic reserve, the overall atmosphere was peaceful.

"We need to acquire the Mangekyou Sharingan eye techniques of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Fugaku from this world."

Kiyoshi succinctly explained the purpose of his trip to Uchiha Hikaru.

"They are dead, but the eyeballs containing their pupil power should be carefully preserved within the clan."

Hikaru Uchiha nodded calmly, indicating that she fully understood. The special feature of her bloodline limit, "Eight Thousand Spears," is that it does not require a dangerous and highly reactive eye transplant.

With just direct chakra contact, one can imprint the eye technique like a scroll and make it one's own.

Kiyoshi did not choose to force his way in. His immense spiritual power spread out silently like an invisible sea, enveloping the place where the Uchiha clan kept forbidden items and important remains.

The several elite Uchiha Jonin guarding the area suddenly stiffened, their eyes instantly losing focus, becoming empty and blank, like puppets whose souls had been ripped out, standing frozen in place.
They showed no reaction to Qing Si and Guang's swaggering entry.

They easily bypassed the barrier and entered a dimly lit stone chamber with a temperature significantly lower than the outside.

A faint medicinal smell and a chilling chakra residue filled the air.

Inside the stone chamber are several specially made transparent containers that shimmer with faint sealing magic. Immersed in a pale green liquid are various precious eyeballs.

The most eye-catching of them all are undoubtedly the two containers located in the center.

The two pairs of eyes floating inside, even after leaving their owners, still radiated an ominous yet powerful chakra fluctuation. Strange patterns remained in their pupils, which were the Mangekyou Sharingan belonging to Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Fugaku!

Kiyoshi carefully removed the two specially made containers from the stand.

Uchiha Hikari took a deep breath, stepped forward, and gently placed her fair yet powerful hands on the cold container wall.

She closed her eyes, focused all her energy, and began to slowly mobilize the power of the "Eight Thousand Spears".

Invisible, subtle chakra threads extended from the fingertips of light, penetrating the container walls and the liquid, and directly connecting with the residual pupil power and unique technique marks in the two pairs of eyeballs.

Uchiha Hikaru held her breath, carefully sensing these two Mangekyou Sharingan abilities, which were completely different from the "Kotoamatsukami" and "precognition" type eye techniques she knew from her original world. This process lasted for about fifteen minutes. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her face turned slightly pale. Clearly, imprinting two eye techniques at the same time was a considerable burden for her.

Seeing this, Kiyoshi channeled a portion of his own chakra into Uchiha Hikaru to help him complete the inscription.

When the engraving was finally completed, the Mangekyou Sharingan in the two pairs of containers seemed to have lost its last bit of power, becoming completely dim and lifeless.

Uchiha Hikaru slowly withdrew his hand, let out a long sigh, and nodded wearily to Kiyoshi:
"Lord Kiyoshi, it's finished. These two eye techniques... have very unique effects, completely different from what I know."

"tell me the story."

Kiyoshi said.

"The first eye technique to display a pattern resembling a blade is 'Omokanami'."

Uchiha Hikaru began to explain "Omokanami".

Its ability is not to directly and forcibly distort or cover up the will of others, but rather to act on the time perception level of the target individual.

It can greatly accelerate the subjective sense of time passing for the target.

Those affected by the spell will experience a prolonged passage of time in their mental realm, even if it is only for a brief moment in the real world. The exact duration depends on the caster's chakra output and eye power.

During this extremely prolonged "subjective time," the target will be subtly guided through endless introspection or inner torment, making them more receptive to the ideas instilled by the practitioner or causing cognitive wavering.

For those whose willpower is not strong enough, this technique may even directly lead to mental "aging," collapse, or complete disintegration of self-doubt.

Using this technique places an enormous burden on the caster's mental energy, and overuse carries the risk of backlash.

In other words, the left eye extends the perception, while the right eye provides guidance.

"I see, it's like an enhanced version of 'Tsukuyomi'."

Qingsi nodded.

In "The True Story of Itachi," Itachi used this method to prolong Izumi Uchiha's perception of time, thus causing her to age and die.

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Hikaru began to introduce the Mangekyou Sharingan's second pair of Mangekyou Sharingan techniques.

"Tianyu is forced to work for others."

The left eye grants the user extraordinary insight and deductive abilities through this eye technique, such as detecting subtle blockages in the flow of chakra through the body's meridians. The right eye enhances the Sharingan's sustained capabilities for a short period of time.

"Is that so?"

Kiyoshi felt that both of the kaleidoscope eye techniques were quite good.

Unfortunately, Fugaku and Shisui in this world didn't know how to use it at all, and their chakra reserves were insufficient, preventing them from unleashing its full power.

"well-done."

Kiyoshi gave a word of approval, then put his hand on Uchiha Hikaru's shoulder.

"Next, we'll go to another place."

The Flying Thunder God Technique was activated again, and the surrounding scenery instantly changed.

They left the Uchiha settlement and appeared in the wilderness.

Then, Kiyoshi flew through the sky with Uchiha Hikaru, seemingly searching for something.

His powerful senses carefully scanned every inch of the valley, even going deep underground, but he couldn't find any trace of a tomb, not even a trace of the familiar Uchiha light-like chakra.

That's right, Kiyoshi is looking for Uchiha Hikaru from the "Limited Tsukuyomi" world.

Unfortunately, nothing was found in the end.

It seems that in this "Limited Tsukuyomi" world, the tragic fate of Uchiha Hikaru, filled with blood and fire, did not unfold. Perhaps she never even existed in the history of this world.

"You in this world have a completely different destiny. Perhaps you are living peacefully as an ordinary Uchiha clan member, or in another identity."

Kiyoshi spoke to Hikaru, who was silent beside him, his voice devoid of emotion.

Uchiha Hikaru remained silent for a moment, a complex emotion flashing in his dark eyes.

There is a sense of relief, a relief that the "self" in this world may have been spared the despair of being imprisoned, exploited, and having one's hands stained with the blood of one's compatriots.

There was also a sense of indescribable melancholy for the cruel past that had already happened and could not be changed.

She gave a soft "hmm" and didn't say anything more.

"Let's not dwell on the past. Let's go to the Land of Whirlpools. That's where our ultimate goal lies."

Kiyoshi didn't give her much time for reflection, and immediately set their next destination.

Kiyoshi, carrying Uchiha Hikari, crossed distant mountains and oceans, finally arriving at the island nation of Uzushiogakure, located in the vast ocean.

In stark contrast to the desolate ruins of the real world, now only broken walls and sand dunes remain, the village of Uzushiogakure before us is full of vibrant life and energy.

The enormous, swirling family crest, like a medal of honor, is prominently engraved throughout the village.

The architecture is unique, mostly constructed with sturdy stone and wood imbued with chakra, and features a strong maritime and sealing technique culture.

The villagers mostly wore peaceful and contented smiles, and the air was filled with the unique salty smell of the sea breeze.

Even more striking is the powerful and stable invisible barrier that, like an inverted bowl, covers the entire island, demonstrating the profound skill of the Uzumaki clan in sealing techniques.

Kiyoshi's arrival quickly attracted attention.

The report was passed up the chain of command, and finally a woman appeared, surrounded by a large group of Vortex Clan members.

She wore a pure white inner garment over a layered red armor, and her long, waist-length red hair flowed like flames.

Her face was stunningly beautiful, with fair and delicate skin, like that of a young woman in her late teens, but her eyes held the dignified and majestic air of someone in a high position.

It was none other than Mito Uzumaki, the patriarch of the Uzumaki clan.

Completely different from the kind and frail old woman in Kiyoshi's memory who was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the Uzumaki Mito before him possessed a powerful life force.

It is very likely that she has maintained her youthful appearance thanks to her improved and perfectly mastered "Yin Seal".

Her brows and eyes possess both feminine grace and a sense of authority.

"Your Excellency Kiyoshi, I have long admired your name."

Mito Uzumaki's voice was gentle.

Her gaze first fell on Kiyoshi, filled with curiosity about a strong person, and then she looked at Uchiha Hikaru beside him, who had a cold temperament, black hair and black eyes, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"And this lady... with a unique air about her, welcome to Uzushiogakure Village."

"Chief Mito, I apologize for the intrusion."

Qing Si nodded slightly.

"Your Excellency is too modest."

Mito Uzumaki smiled just the right amount of her smile and turned to the side, making an inviting gesture.

"It is an honor for the Land of Whirlpools to have a powerful figure like you grace us with your presence. Please come with me to the council chamber so we can discuss this in detail."

The group walked through the clean streets and, under the curious and respectful gazes of the villagers, arrived at the core area of ​​the Uzumaki clan.

The council chamber was spacious and bright, simply furnished, and filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.

After the guests and hosts were seated, well-trained servants silently served fragrant hot tea and several exquisitely prepared tea snacks.

Without much small talk, Qing Si got straight to the point and explained his purpose.

"Your Excellency is quite interested in the sealing techniques passed down in my clan?"

Mito Uzumaki picked up her teacup, but her gaze remained fixed on Seiji's face, observing his reaction.

"Yes."

Kiyoshi readily admitted it, without any roundabout approach.

"I've recently been conducting some research on space-time ninjutsu and sealing techniques, and I need to learn from the vortex sealing techniques that have unique insights into chakra imprisonment, the construction of super-large barriers, and the stabilization of space-time ninjutsu."

Kiyoshi's idea was to see if there were any differences between the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan in this world and those in the real world.

“I know that this knowledge is a closely guarded secret passed down through generations of the Uzumaki clan, which they regard as the foundation of their clan. Therefore, I have not come empty-handed. I am willing to use some unique sealing techniques that I have collected from my travels or improved based on my personal understanding as a bargaining chip.”

As he spoke, Kiyoshi calmly took out several scrolls and gently placed them on the low table between the two of them.

These scrolls contain records of sealing techniques based on his own understanding of sealing techniques.

Mito Uzumaki did not immediately touch the scrolls; her gaze remained fixed on Kiyoshi's face, as if she were assessing the true intentions behind his words through his eyes.

Her "Kagura Mind's Eye," honed through countless trials, could clearly sense the enormous amount of chakra within Kiyoshi's body.

If Kiyoshi were willing, the Kingdom of Uzu would probably be destroyed in just one day.

A brief silence fell over the council chamber, with only the steam rising slowly from the rim of the teacups.

After a moment, Mito Uzumaki slowly spoke:
"I have long heard of Lord Qing Si's strength and reputation. He is not a man of his word. The exchange conditions you proposed have indeed demonstrated sufficient sincerity and value."

Although the Uzumaki clan cherishes the legacy of their ancestors and adheres to the ancestral precept of not easily passing on their secret techniques, they are not entirely closed-minded or pedantic people who refuse to communicate.

"To engage in an equal exchange of knowledge with a powerhouse like yourself, standing at the pinnacle of the ninja world, might be a rare opportunity for the future development of the Uzumaki clan and for the advancement of the ancient art of sealing techniques."

She clapped her hands lightly, and a trusted clansman who had been standing respectfully behind her immediately stepped forward, carrying a heavy scroll made of some kind of dark wood.

"This is a sealing technique scroll of my clan."

Mito Uzumaki personally took the scroll and pushed it toward Kiyoshi, introducing it in a solemn tone.

"It systematically records various advanced variations and application examples of the 'Sealing Tail Seal,' the detailed construction principles of the 'Four Crimson Flame Array' and its superior barrier 'Four Yang Laws Array,' as well as... our ancestors' research on 'Dragon Veins' as a type of chakra..."

Kiyoshi accepted the heavy scroll.

Unexpectedly, there were indeed pleasant surprises, many of which were different from the real world. (End of Chapter)
