Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

"Yes."

Qingsi nodded.

“Creating a space requires a vast amount of chakra and an understanding of spacetime. I can do it alone, but with your help, the efficiency will be much higher, and the space will be more stable.”

What he didn't say was that this space might develop into the prototype of a "pure land" in the future.

The infusion of Kaguya Otsutsuki's power will accelerate the formation of this space.

Moreover, since the Qing Dynasty is in charge, it will have a great deal of initiative in controlling this area in the future.

Kaguya Otsutsuki did not hesitate.

She stretched out her hand, palm up.

A pure, vast chakra condensed in her palm. It was the chakra that had undergone a qualitative change after consuming half a fruit, and it contained her immense ocular power.

"How much do you need?"

She asked.

"Give me as many as you can."

Qing Si said.

Currently, there are very few techniques that can affect the entire ninja world, only "God Tree World Advent" and "Infinite Tsukuyomi", as well as "Omnipotence" which originates from the power of Otsutsuki Shibakai.

If the Pure Land is to encompass the souls of the entire ninja world, then it cannot be too small.

"It primarily serves as an 'anchor point' for spatial stability."

Kiyoshi continued.

Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded, and the ball of chakra floated out from her palm, slowly flying towards Kiyoshi.

She could sense that Kiyoshi's chakra reserves were now far greater than hers.

This stirred a strange longing within Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Of course, she also understood that her chances of winning against Shang Qingsi were slim.

So even if you give up your chakra, there's no loss.

Kiyoshi reached out and caught it; the ball of chakra immediately merged into his body, becoming one with his own chakra.

The next second, Kiyoshi moved.

His hands began to form hand seals.

Such a complex technique requires him to form hand seals to complete.

As the hand seals were completed, his chakra began to boil, eventually transforming into a dazzling pillar of light that shot into the sky.

The beam of light did not shoot into the sky, but instead began to bend and fold after reaching a certain height, like a paintbrush sketching in the air.

Space began to distort, light began to refract, and the surrounding scenery became blurred.

A hint of surprise flashed in Kaguya Otsutsuki's pure white eyes.

She could see Kiyoshi forcibly tearing apart the real space with his chakra, creating a new "bubble world" in the interlayer of space.

This is not a simple space-time ninjutsu, but a true act of creation, albeit on a small scale.

She stepped forward, gathering chakra as she placed her hand on Kiyoshi's back.

More chakra flowed in, providing support for the stability of the space.

Their chakra intertwined, creating a barrier in the void.

Time passed little by little, from noon to dusk, from dusk to late at night.

When the moon reaches its zenith, the rudimentary form of space is finally complete.

It was a spherical space suspended in the interlayer of reality, about a kilometer in diameter, with nothing inside except pure chakra flowing slowly.

The boundary of the space is a semi-transparent membrane through which one can see a blurry view of the outside world, like an underwater reflection.

"finished……"

Kiyoshi withdrew his hand, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. Even with the support of the entry system and Kaguya Otsutsuki's help, creating a stable alternate dimension was an enormous drain on resources.

Kaguya Otsutsuki also withdrew her hand, her pure white eyes gazing at the newly created space.

"Just a little bit more."

Qing Si said.

"We need to establish a mechanism for guiding souls, but that can be done slowly. Let's stop here for today."

Kiyoshi said.

Although it is only a kilometer, it is a remarkable feat of creating something from nothing.

It is far superior to the "Death's Belly Space" he created before.

As long as it is continuously improved, the distance of this space can be continuously expanded until it covers every corner of the ninja world.

Once someone dies, their soul is drawn to the Pure Land.

Of course, the specific techniques still need to be developed by the Qing court.

…………

The two left the depths of the valley and returned to the cabin.

Night had fallen, and the three children were already asleep.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, casting silvery patches of light on the ground.

Kiyoshi and Kaguya Otsutsuki sat on the stone steps in front of the door, gazing at the stars in the night sky.

"this time……"

Kiyoshi suddenly said.

"It will take a little longer."

After putting in so much effort, it's time to enjoy it.

Kaguya Otsutsuki blinked, and before she could react, Kiyoshi's face was already close to hers.

This time, it wasn't a fleeting touch.

Kiyoshi's lips covered hers.

The touch was still cool and soft, but this time, Kiyoshi did not leave immediately.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's body stiffened slightly.

She experienced something she had never felt before.

Kiyoshi's breath brushed against her face, feeling incredibly warm.

Kaguya Otsutsuki made a strange discovery: she felt waves of unfamiliar tingling sensations throughout her body. His arms encircled her waist, pulling her closer until their bodies were pressed tightly together.

What puzzled her even more was her own reaction.

My heart began to beat faster and faster uncontrollably, changing from a steady rhythm to a rapid and forceful beat.

Her breathing became erratic, each inhale carrying Kiyoshi's scent, each exhale carrying an inexplicable heat. A strange impulse surged deep within her, making her want to get closer, to...embrace.

She didn't know what it was, but she instinctively knew that it was completely different from the previous touches.

Kiyoshi sensed the change in her. He stepped back slightly and looked at her.

A faint blush rose on Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's cheeks, something almost unbelievable for an Ōtsutsuki.

A hint of confusion and bewilderment appeared in her pure white eyes.

What does it feel like?
Kaguya Otsutsuki had never experienced this.

"Is that...enough?"

She asked, her voice much softer than usual.

Kiyoshi looked at her, at her eyes that were gradually becoming tinged with the realities of life, and couldn't help but smile.

He reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair from her forehead.

"That's enough for now."

Kiyoshi said.

Cake is meant to be enjoyed little by little.

Next time, it won't just be the mouth.

Instead, it's about fully savoring the flavor.

"We still have plenty of time left."

Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded and said nothing more.

…………

The morning sunlight streamed through the cracks in the wooden window.

Kiyoshi got up and went outside.
Kaguya Tsutsuki stood in the center of the courtyard, facing the rising sun, her eyes closed in deep concentration.

A morning breeze blew, stirring her long blue and white hair and her ever-present white robe.

The robe fluttered in the wind, outlining her slender and graceful figure, like snow on a mountain peak, pure, aloof, and elegant.

Kiyoshi looked at her for a while, then suddenly spoke:
"You always seem to wear this outfit."

Kaguya Otsutsuki opened her eyes, her pure white pupils turning to him, a hint of confusion appearing in them:
What's the difference in the clothes?

"A big difference."

Kiyoshi walked to her side. "Different clothes can bring out different temperaments and different moods. And..."

He paused, then took out a sealing scroll from his robes and handed it to Kaguya.

“Besides the cheongsam I gave you last time, I have many other clothes that you can try on.”

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki took the scroll and unrolled it.

Inside the scroll was a storage space, neatly stacked with various styles of clothing: silk dresses, thin linings, and even some strange garments she had never seen before, made of semi-transparent silk and elastic fabric.

"This is……"

She picked up a pair of black, sheer stockings with her fingers, her pure white eyes filled with confusion.

"These are called black stockings."

Qing Si explained.

"Wearing these on your legs can flatter your leg shape. This is a tank top; it's very comfortable to wear close to the skin. These are..."

He briefly introduced several modern clothing items.

"In short, you can try changing your style."

Kaguya Otsutsuki put the scroll away and nodded, though she still didn't understand.

"correct."

Kiyoshi turned to look at the open space in the center of the courtyard.

"Starting today, I will teach you ninjutsu."

A hint of interest flashed in Kaguya Otsutsuki's eyes.

She had practiced taijutsu with Kiyoshi last time, and this time she wanted to see the strange and wonderful ninjutsu that Kiyoshi knew.

"it is good."

The two walked to an open space and stood facing each other.

"The essence of ninjutsu is to produce various effects through the nature and form changes of chakra."

Qing Si began his explanation.

"You have mastered the basics of chakra control. The next step is to learn how to transform chakra into specific elemental powers."

He formed hand seals, his movements slow and clear.

"First is Fire Release."

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation".

A ball of fire, hundreds of meters in size, spewed from his mouth, the flames churning and radiating intense heat, flying into the sky.

It looked as if a red ocean had suddenly appeared in the sky.

"The characteristics of fire-style chakra are heat, explosiveness, and aggression."

Kaguya Otsutsuki watched intently, her pure white eyes reflecting the dancing flames.

She imitated Qing Si, forming hand seals with her fingers. Her fingers were long and white, and her hand seal movements were as precise as if measured with a ruler.

Then, she opened her mouth.

It unleashed the same ninjutsu as Kiyoshi, which lasted for nearly ten seconds before dissipating, leaving behind a heat wave that caused the surrounding flowers and plants to wilt slightly.

Kiyoshi raised an eyebrow.

Is this the true essence of the Otsutsuki clan?

This is the power of the first time he used Fire Release.

Indeed, ninja battles are battles of chakra.

"very good."

he commented.

"But power isn't everything; control is even more important. Next up is Water Release."

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique".

The flames that Kiyoshi spat out suddenly dissipated, turning back into a vast ocean.

Like a boiling sea, the sky hangs down, rushing towards the foot of the mountain.

Kaguya Otsutsuki formed hand seals again and spat out a sea of ​​water.

Faced with the sheer amount of chakra possessed by Kiyoshi and Kaguya Otsutsuki, any ninjutsu they unleashed would be incredibly powerful.

Appreciation flashed in Kiyoshi's eyes as he continued teaching.

"Wind Release".

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough"

With a gentle whistle, a whirlwind was created, whipping up the large trees in the mountains.

Kaguya Otsutsuki mimicked him, letting out a soft breath.

In an instant, the trees on an entire mountain range were snapped in two by the wind.

"Lightning Release: Black Lightning".

Kiyoshi pressed one hand to the ground, and a black lightning bolt shot out from his fingertip, knocking down distant mountain peaks.

Kaguya Otsutsuki extended a finger, but what she released was azure lightning that knocked down the neighboring mountain.

"Earth Escape·Earthquake Core."

Kiyoshi formed hand seals, raising the mountain he had just shattered back to life. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki did the same.

Kaguya Otsutsuki mastered all five basic nature transformations at once, and their power and control far exceeded the level of ordinary ninjas.

Kiyoshi looked at all this and sighed inwardly.

Is this the talent brought by bloodline and fruit?

She mastered skills that ordinary ninjas would take years or even decades to learn in less than a morning.

"You learn very quickly."

Qing Si said.

"But ninjutsu is not just about power, it is also a tool for dealing with different situations. Sometimes, a simple clone technique or transformation technique is more useful than a fireball that can destroy the world. I will teach you these later."

Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded, seemingly beginning to understand why Kiyoshi wanted her to learn these "weak" skills.

It's not about pursuing greater destructive power, but about pursuing more possibilities.

"Next comes the change in form."

Kiyoshi continued teaching.

“To shape chakra into a concrete form, for example…”

"Rasengan."

In the palm of his right hand, a rapidly spinning ball of chakra condensed and took shape, emitting a buzzing sound.

Kaguya Otsutsuki looked at the ball of chakra, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

This technique of highly compressing, rotating, and maintaining chakra requires extremely precise control.

She extended her right hand, palm up. Chakra began to condense, compress, and rotate... but the first attempt failed; the chakra sphere disintegrated before it could form.

Kaguya Otsutsuki frowned; this was the first time Kiyoshi had ever seen her frown.

"No need to rush."

Qing Si said.

"The difficulty of the Rasengan lies in maintaining the balance of rotation, so let's start with the simplest rotation."

He demonstrated the method of condensing chakra spheres, and Kaguya Otsutsuki tried it again.

The lesson lasted all morning.

When the midday sun shone directly on the open space, Kiyoshi announced a break.

I'm going out this afternoon.

Qing Si said.

"Let's go to the Ancestral Kingdom to check on the progress."

Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded without asking any further questions.

She began practicing the various techniques she had learned that morning, especially the changes in the form of the Rasengan.

……

The country of the ancestors.

When Kiyoshi appeared in the woods outside the city, he could clearly feel that the amount of chakra he sensed had increased significantly.

Clearly, the cultivators of the Ancestral Kingdom have made great progress under the guidance of the system.

He walked through the city gate, and the guards saluted him respectfully, their eyes filled with fervor.

Along the streets of the city, many people could be seen practicing the application of chakra. Some were trying to climb trees, some were practicing wading, and some were practicing taijutsu against wooden stakes. Although their skills were still immature, their vibrant and upward-looking spirit was genuine.

To Kiyoshi's surprise, there were many unfamiliar faces in the city. Judging from their clothing, accents, and appearances, they were clearly not natives of the Ancestral Kingdom.

"Lord Ancestor!"

Upon receiving the news, the daimyo of Zu no Kuni rushed over, followed by a group of retainers and several envoys dressed in distinctly different attire.

"these are……"

Kiyoshi looked at the strangers.

"Return to the ancestor,"

Da Ming said respectfully.

“These are all envoys from neighboring countries… They have come to visit and learn from the blessings bestowed upon our ancestral land by the gods.”

The Qing official surveyed the messengers.

They were of different ages and dressed differently.

"Lord Ancestor,"

A middle-aged man dressed in a red brocade robe and wearing a crown with flame patterns stepped forward and bowed deeply.

"We earnestly request that the Ancestor bestow upon our country the Way of Chakra as well. The Land of Fire is willing to honor the Ancestor as the sole Sage and worship him throughout the nation!"

"My country is willing too..."

"Yes, mine..."

The envoys all expressed their opinions, and the scene became somewhat chaotic for a moment.

Kiyoshi raised his hand, signaling for silence.

Instantly, everyone fell silent, respectfully waiting for him to speak.

"The path of chakra is meant to benefit all living beings."

Kiyoshi said slowly.

"The Ancestral Kingdom is just the beginning, not the end."

The messengers' eyes lit up.

"but……"

Kiyoshi then changed the subject, saying, "The spread of power requires order; disordered power will only bring chaos and destruction."

He looked at the daimyo of the Land of Ancestors: "What are the effects of the 'Chakra Inheritance Seal' and the 'Chakra Measuring Stone'?"

Daiming quickly replied:
"Reporting to the Ancestor, the results are excellent! Currently, 30% of the people in the Ancestor's Kingdom can refine chakra, among whom over 10,000 have reached 'Level 1,' 3,000 'Level 2,' 500 'Level 3,' 50 'Level 4,' and the most outstanding have reached 'Level 5'!"

At level five, according to Kiyoshi's standards, that's almost half the chakra level of a genin.

"very good."

Qingsi nodded.

“People from various countries come to the motherland to exchange ideas and compete. The winners will receive higher-level inheritance and guidance.”

The envoys looked at each other in bewilderment, and then bowed in agreement.

"I will obey the command of the Ancestor!"

Kiyoshi nodded in satisfaction.

This is exactly what he wanted: to establish a chakra training network covering the entire continent, centered on the Land of Ancestors.

This network will become the foundation for collecting souls and the cornerstone of his future plans.

He walked to the square in the center of the city.

There, next to the originally solitary "Chakra Heritage Seal" and "Chakra Measuring Stone", a stone temple has been built.

At the entrance of the hall, there was a long queue of people who came to have their chakra levels tested.

Kiyoshi spotted a familiar figure: Enjiro. The young man's demeanor had changed drastically in the few months since he'd last seen him.

His former reserved and composed demeanor has been tempered with a sharp edge.

He was instructing several young people in their training, and occasionally a small flame would rise from his hand, indicating that he had already made a preliminary grasp of the nature transformation of Fire Release chakra.

Upon seeing Kiyoshi, Enjiro immediately stopped instructing him, strode forward, and bowed deeply.
"Lord Ancestor!"

Kiyoshi nodded:
"Good progress."

Excitement flashed in Enjiro's eyes:
"It's all thanks to the scroll bestowed upon me by Your Excellency!"

Kiyoshi didn't say anything more, just patted him on the shoulder and continued his inspection.

He spent the entire afternoon walking through the streets and alleys of the Ancestor Kingdom, observing the country that had been changed because of him.

At dusk, Kiyoshi left the land of the ancestors.

…………

When Kiyoshi returned to the cabin, he found Otsutsuki Haeko sitting alone on a stone bench in the courtyard, staring blankly at the night sky.

"Father."

Hearing the noise, Otsutsuki Hako turned her head, her black eyes appearing exceptionally deep in the night.

Why are you here all alone?

Qingsi asked.

"My brothers have gone to guard the sacred tree."

Yu Yu said.

"My mother is practicing spiritual cultivation."

Kiyoshi sat down beside her and followed her gaze to the night sky, where countless stars filled the sky.

"Do you also want to learn ninjutsu?"

Qingsi asked.

Yu Yuzi nodded, then shook her head:
“My mother learns very quickly, and I… am afraid I won’t be able to learn.”

Her tone was flat, but Kiyoshi detected a subtle hint of disappointment.

Kiyoshi's heart skipped a beat.

Otsutsuki Hagoromo's talent should be quite good.

"You don't need to compare yourself to others."

Qing Si said.

"Everyone has their own path."

"Okay, let me teach you something else first."

"Besides chakra ninjutsu, there is another power system that might be more suitable for you."

Kiyoshi paused for a moment, then said, "It's called 'Celestial Arts'."

"Immortal magic?"

"That's a training method that absorbs natural energy and merges it with one's own chakra to form 'Sage Chakra.'"

Qing Si explained.

"The power of Sage Chakra far surpasses that of ordinary chakra."

He stood up and pointed into the depths of the valley:
"There's a place nearby with incredibly abundant natural energy, perfect for cultivating 'immortal arts.' Would you like to give it a try?"

Yu Yu nodded almost without hesitation.

"it is good."

"I'll take you tomorrow," Kiyoshi said.

The next morning, Kiyoshi led Otsutsuki Haeko to a place deep in the valley with abundant natural energy.

"right here."

Kiyoshi said.

"The first step in cultivating 'immortal arts' is to perceive natural energy. You need to sit quietly, meditate, open your mind and body, and feel the natural energy that is omnipresent around you."

He taught the basic methods of cultivating "immortal arts," and then left Otsutsuki Hako alone here.

"When you can sense natural energy, come out and find me."

"No need to rush, cultivating 'immortal arts' requires patience."

Otsutsuki Hako nodded, sat cross-legged by the lake, closed her eyes, and began to meditate.

Kiyoshi then left and returned to the cabin.

Hagoromo and Hamura have already set off to guard the Divine Tree; this is Kiyoshi's daily task for them.

At this moment, only Kiyoshi and Kaguya Otsutsuki remained around the wooden house.

Kiyoshi thought for a moment, then went into the kitchen, took out the ingredients from the sealed scroll, and began preparing lunch.

Since arriving in this world, he has been busy with various plans and has hardly ever had a proper meal.

They usually eat simple food picked from the mountains and forests, or they don't eat anything at all.

Given Ōtsutsuki's constitution, it's fine for him to eat only once in a long while.

But today, he wanted to do something different.

Kiyoshi's cooking skills are quite good.

He is one of the top figures in the entire ninja world, and the entry has elevated his culinary skills to a terrifying level.

When the last dish was finished, Kiyoshi placed several small dishes and a bowl of soup on the stone table in the courtyard.

He set out the bowls and chopsticks, then headed towards Kaguya Otsutsuki's room.

"Kaguya, dinner's ready."

He knocked on the door.

no respond.

Kiyoshi pushed open the door and then froze at the entrance.

Inside the room, Kaguya Otsutsuki was standing in front of a mirror.

She wasn't wearing her signature white robe, nor any of the normal clothes that Qing Si had given her yesterday.

She was wearing a black tank top.

There was only one tank top.

It was a silk, form-fitting slip dress, its deep black color contrasting sharply with her fair skin.

The straps were very thin, barely hanging on her shoulders, and the skirt only reached mid-thigh, revealing her long, straight legs.

Moreover, the neckline of the suspender dress was very low, exposing a large area of ​​snow-white skin to the air, and the voluptuous curves were outlined by the thin fabric.

Her long, blue-white hair cascaded down, with a few strands falling to her collarbone, adding to her languid charm.

Kaguya Otsutsuki turned around when she heard the door open. She seemed completely unaware of how...inappropriate her attire was.

"Seiji?"

She blinked, her pure white eyes full of naturalness.

"You called me?" (End of Chapter)
