Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Having determined the most likely situation, Kiyoshi quickly calmed down. His immediate priority was to find a way back.

"You have mastered the entry: [A Thousand Years Ago (Gold)]".

Kiyoshi glanced at the newly acquired entry a few times and then closed it.

What he wants to know more about now is the "dragon vein".

"Dragon Vein..."

Kiyoshi secretly said. .

The dragon vein chakra of Loulan is the key to connecting space and time. Since we can come here using the dragon vein chakra, we can naturally go back using the dragon vein chakra.

Even if that doesn't work, the vast chakra of the dragon vein itself is an excellent coordinate and energy source.

With Kiyoshi's help, he always manages to find a way back.

Based on geographical information from later generations in his memory, Kiyoshi judged that the vast desert region where the future Wind Kingdom was located was very likely formed by the leakage of dragon vein power and its long-term environmental impact.

He chose a direction, his figure transforming into a blurry beam of light, and began exploring this land from a thousand years ago at an astonishing speed.

After several days of trekking, the scenery gradually changed from forests and grasslands to barren Gobi Desert, and finally to an endless golden sea of ​​sand.

The scorching sun baked the sand and gravel, and the heat waves distorted the air.

Kiyoshi's perception was like the most sophisticated radar, sweeping across the depths of the desert.

Finally, at the bottom of a huge basin in the center of the desert, as if struck by a meteorite, he sensed that familiar yet slightly youthful dragon vein chakra slowly seeping out from the depths of the earth.

It was far more active and more primitive and violent than it would be a thousand years later.

However, the area around the dragon vein is not entirely desolate.

On the contrary, a strange ecosystem has formed here.

The rich natural energy and the dissipated dragon vein chakra intertwined, giving birth to a gigantic life form that was unimaginable to the outside world.

Cacti reaching hundreds of meters in height resemble skyscrapers, while lizard-like creatures, as large as small hills, slowly crawl among the dunes. Strange birds of prey with wingspans large enough to obscure a small patch of sky hover in the sky.

Their aura was far more powerful than that of later spirit beasts, carrying a primal wildness.

What caught Kiyoshi's attention even more was that a small human settlement existed among the rock formations on the edge of the basin.

These people wore simple animal skins or coarse linen clothing, and their faces were painted with primitive pigment patterns.

They were performing some kind of ritual, placing the hunted animal meat and crude handicrafts on a huge rock altar, bowing in reverence towards the dragon vein deep in the basin.

Not far from them, a scorpion-like creature, its carapace shimmering with a dark purple metallic sheen and its size comparable to a small fortress, lay lazily. Its occasional flick of its tail stinger easily pierced the rock wall. Clearly, it was the "guardian" or "tribute collector" worshipped by this settlement.

Kiyoshi's arrival immediately drew attention. A figure rushed out anxiously from behind the rocks and blocked his way.

This was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed simply like everyone else in the settlement, but her natural beauty was undeniable.

Her skin was a healthy wheat color, and her eyes were bright, carrying an innocent purity.

Her long hair was simply tied up with a bone hairpin, and a few strands of hair were stuck to her forehead with sweat.

She was saying something to Kiyoshi, but when she realized he couldn't understand, she started gesturing with her hands.

Kiyoshi was watching the girl, quickly learning the local language.

In the ninja world a thousand years later, some artifacts from that time have been unearthed, naturally containing some linguistic records.

For Kiyoshi, with his immense mental energy and active brain, learning these things was effortless.

Soon, Qing Si understood the girl's ancient language.

The gist of the message is clearly "danger," "leave quickly," and "disturbing the sacred beast will cost you your life."

Kiyoshi shook his head slightly, his gaze passing over the girl and looking at the giant scorpion spirit beast that seemed to be startled and slowly raised its massive body.

Its compound eyes locked onto Kiyoshi, this "disrespectful" intruder, and it hissed threateningly, its breath emitting a foul stench.

The villagers crouched low in fear, trembling, and the girl's face turned pale.

The giant scorpion had clearly lost patience; for a weak life like a human, a summoned beast was far, far more powerful.

Its massive pincers slammed into the ground, sending sand and gravel flying. Then, its tail stinger shot high into the air, transforming into a streak of purplish-black lightning that pierced straight at Kiyoshi and the girl in front of him!
Its speed far exceeded the limits of its bulky size, accompanied by deadly poison and the sound of air being cut through.

The girl closed her eyes in despair.

However, the expected pain never came.

She only felt a gentle force pushing her towards a safe area behind her, and then the scorching light and howling wind swallowed up all sound.

Kiyoshi didn't even form any hand seals; his cheeks puffed out slightly.

"Fire Escape·The great fire is extinguished."

What spewed from Kiyoshi's mouth was a torrent of flames that resembled a red sea.

The flames transformed into a vast red sea of ​​fire that consumed everything, engulfing the giant scorpion spirit beast and sweeping across a large area of ​​rocky mountains behind it with undiminished force!
The carapace and rocks hissed as they vaporized instantly.

The "sacred beast," which instilled fear in the entire settlement, along with the half-mountain it occupied, didn't even last a second before being completely reduced to ashes and lava.

The red flames continued to burn for a while before slowly dying down, leaving behind a huge, vitrified lava crater and a flattened, charred mountainside behind it.

Dead silence.

All the kneeling indigenous people, including the wild and beautiful girl, froze in place. Their eyes were wide open, their mouths agape, staring at the miraculous scene before them, their minds blank.

The powerful sacred beast we worshipped... has vanished?

Was he... casually struck by this person?
The mountains...were burned to the ground?
Fear, confusion, and an unprecedented shock impacted their simple and honest worldview.

This is... God!

Everyone had this in mind.

Looking at this group of people, Qing Si knew that they might worship him as a god.

After all, humanity in this era has no power whatsoever.

It has neither "Sage Arts" nor chakra.

It's important to know that even the samurai of the Land of Iron are still driven by chakra.

Without the Sage of Six Paths spreading Ninjutsu and allowing ordinary people to use chakra, only the Otsutsuki clan, who came from outer space, possessed this power.

Therefore, Kaguya Otsutsuki is also known as the "Goddess of the Rabbit".

Kiyoshi slowly lowered his hand, as if he had only done a trivial thing.

He was about to ask the girl for more information about the dragon vein and the era of this place when he saw the group of people bowing down and chanting the title of "Amaterasu Omikami".

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Kiyoshi turned his head to look in one direction. The next moment, a pure white figure appeared in the distance, streaking across the sky and silently landing on the tallest boulder at the edge of the basin.

The person who came was a woman.

She was tall and slender, wearing a simple white robe with black comma patterns along the edges.

What is most striking is her long blue-white hair, which reaches her ankles and remains smooth and untouched by the dry, scorching desert wind.

Her skin was incredibly white and flawless.

Kiyoshi recognized her at a glance.

It's Kaguya Otsutsuki!

Only Kaguya Otsutsuki has such a perfect, almost superhuman face, with exquisitely beautiful features, yet she lacks the vibrant expressions that humans should have, possessing only an icy indifference and emptiness.

But Kiyoshi soon discovered that Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's forehead was smooth and did not have the iconic "Rinne Sharingan".

Her eyes were filled with only pure white, with slightly bulging veins around the pupils, and she was quietly looking at Kiyoshi, seemingly with some doubt.

Kiyoshi understood.

She was indeed drawn to the chakra fluctuations she had released when she killed the summoned beast.

In an era before chakra spread, the only way to possess such a vast and pure amount of chakra is to come from the same source—the Otsutsuki clan from elsewhere.

While Kiyoshi was observing Kaguya Otsutsuki, Kaguya Otsutsuki was also observing Kiyoshi.

She noticed that Kiyoshi's eyes were scarlet and swirled with strange patterns.

Sharingan?
Kaguya Otsutsuki vaguely knew about these eyes.

It seems to be a power that awakens in one's bloodline genes after consuming the "Chakra Fruit".

However, it is only a lower-level skill, far inferior to the "Rinnegan".

It's more like a branch that suddenly mutated on a large tree.

The next moment, Kaguya Otsutsuki suddenly made her move!

Her movements were simple and direct; she merely raised her hand and made a light tap forward, and a powerful wave of chakra transformed into a visible white energy wave that crashed down on Kiyoshi like a tidal wave, crushing all the sand and gravel in its path into dust.

Faced with this pure power, Kiyoshi's eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not flinch.

His crimson Mangekyou Sharingan spun rapidly, and jet-black chakra instantly surged and condensed in front of him, transforming into a huge and ferocious skeletal hand.

boom!
The pitch-black skeletal giant hand collided violently with the white chakra wave, the resulting explosion reverberating throughout the basin, and the violent airflow blasting everything around it away.

Fine cracks appeared on the giant skeletal hand, but it ultimately blocked and dispersed Kaguya's attack.

"?"

For the first time, a clear look of surprise flashed in Kaguya Otsutsuki's pure white eyes. She had never seen such a dojutsu, which materialized chakra and shaped it into a protective form, before.

Unable to probe further, Kaguya's expression remained indifferent, but her attack method suddenly changed.

Her long blue and white hair moved without wind, each strand infused with chakra, becoming incredibly hard and sharp, before shooting out like a rain of pear blossoms!

"Rabbit hair needle!"

Countless fine needles covered all of Kiyoshi's dodging space, each one aimed at the body's vital points and chakra points.

This is a precise strike that combines the Byakugan's ability to detect weaknesses.

Protected by the Susanoo skeleton, Kiyoshi quickly formed hand seals in response to the precise, area-of-effect attack.

"Wood Release·Tree Boundary Wall!"

"Ice Release·Bingyan Tangwu!"

The ground rose up, and the interwoven, thick wooden strips instantly formed an arc-shaped wooden wall, blocking the Susanoo's skeleton.

At the same time, the moisture in the air is rapidly frozen, and thick layers of ice crackle and condense on the surface of the wooden wall, forming a sturdy composite defense.

Puff puff puff!

The dense rabbit-hair needles were driven deep into the ice-wood composite barrier. Most of them were blocked, and the few that penetrated were weakened again by the Susanoo's skeleton.

Ice shards and wood chips flew everywhere, but the defenses were not completely breached.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's pure white eyes were fixed on the strange combination of defensive ninjutsu, the bloodline limit that could nurture trees, and the ability to manipulate ice.

It doesn't feel like some kind of eye technique.

Doubts piled up in Kaguya's mind, leading her to decide to hold back no longer.

She needs to perceive this existence more directly.

Her figure swayed slightly, as if she was about to launch a faster close-range attack.

At that moment, Kiyoshi made a move that caused Kaguya's pupils to suddenly contract.

He did not form hand seals, nor did he activate the strange red eye or defensive ninjutsu; he simply slowly raised his right hand.

A diamond-shaped mark suddenly lit up on the palm of his hand!
"wedge"!
Ink-black patterns spread wildly from the diamond-shaped mark, instantly covering Kiyoshi's right arm and then rapidly spreading throughout his body!
What shocked Kaguya even more was that, as the black lines covered the area, the skin on both sides of Kiyoshi's forehead bulged and keratinized, forming two...flesh horns!
Although the size and shape of the horns differed from those of her and some of the Otsutsuki clan members she knew, they were indeed a characteristic of the Otsutsuki clan!

"you……"

Kaguya Otsutsuki's indifferent expression finally showed a noticeable change.

"Why does it possess a 'wedge,' or... whose 'vessel'?"

"who are you?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki posed a question.

"You can think of me as Otsutsuki."

Kiyoshi said.

He wasn't lying when he said that.

Now that Kiyoshi has activated the "Karma" seal, he is indeed in the body of the Otsutsuki clan.

Immediately, the Mangekyou Sharingan that was swirling in his eyes began to fade, gradually turning into a luminous white.

Roll your eyes!

Seeing those eyes, Kaguya's doubts lessened somewhat, but didn't completely disappear.

The Byakugan, a signature feature of the Otsutsuki clan, proves that the other party at least has the bloodline of a member of the clan and is not lying.

“Stranger, fellow tribesman. This planet has been under the care of Otsutsuki Isshiki and me in nurturing the Divine Tree. What brings you here?”

"I sailed from a distant place and fell here due to a spatial-temporal turbulence."

Kiyoshi's words were half true and half false.

He did indeed sail from a distant place, and also encountered spacetime turbulence and crashed here.

However, the distant future is a thousand years in the future, and the spacetime turbulence is the influence of the Dragon Vein Chakra.

Kaguya listened quietly, her eyes sweeping over Kiyoshi's entire body.

You can see the enormous amount of chakra within Kiyoshi's body.

Soon, Kaguya Otsutsuki noticed something different.

Kiyoshi's chakra quality seemed extremely high, causing her heart to flutter for a moment.

That was an instinctive...craving for chakra. (End of Chapter)
