Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Chapter 522 Naruto Awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan! (Edited)
The next morning, Sasuke arrived at the third training ground early, still wearing his bright green tight-fitting training suit.

After a night of internal struggle, he decided to continue wearing it.

After all, this is the tradition my father mentioned.

More importantly, after yesterday's training, he clearly felt an improvement in his leg strength.

That tangible sense of progress made him temporarily overlook the awkwardness of his fashion sense.

"Let's warm up first."

Following Kiyoshi's instructions, Sasuke began to move his joints and stretch his muscles.

His movements were precise and serious, unlike those of an eight or nine-year-old child.

About half an hour later, a familiar shouting sound came from the entrance of the training ground.

"Sasuke!"

Naruto swaggered in, hands in his pockets, a signature bright smile on his face.

He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with a red swirl on it.

"I heard you had special training yesterday? How about it, wanna have another match?"

Naruto walked up to Sasuke, his blue eyes filled with eager anticipation.

Sasuke stopped his warm-up and looked at Naruto.

He could sense that Naruto's chakra was more active today than yesterday, indicating that he had obviously undergone some kind of training.

"of course."

Sasuke said.

"But this time, I will use the new physical techniques I have learned."

"A new physical technique?"

Naruto's eyes lit up.

"Perfect timing! I also came up with a new trick yesterday!"

The two stood about ten meters apart.

"start!"

Without a referee, both players moved simultaneously.

Naruto, as always, employed a straight-charge tactic, forming hand seals:

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

The three shadow clones, along with the original body, rushed towards Sasuke, surrounding him from four directions.

Instead of using shuriken or fire-style attacks to counterattack as usual, Sasuke took a deep breath and recalled the feeling of Kiyoshi guiding him to sense the flow of chakra yesterday.

He could see the chakra points in the body, those limiting nodes that Kiyoshi called "gates".

The first gate, the opening gate, is located in the brain. It removes the brain's limitations, allowing the body to unleash its full potential.

Sasuke focused his mind and gathered his chakra towards that spot.

"open!"

A surge of heat flowed from the top of my head to my whole body.

The world seemed to become clearer, as if magnified and presented in our perception.

My body felt incredibly light.

Sasuke moved.

He was so fast that he left afterimages, easily dodging Naruto's straight punch. At the same time, he kicked away the shadow clone on the left, used the momentum to turn around, and struck the shadow clone on the right in the chest with his elbow. Finally, he kicked the shadow clone behind him away with a spinning back kick.

All of this happened within two seconds.

Naruto stood frozen in place, not having reacted yet, when Sasuke appeared in front of him, his hand pressed against his abdomen.

"Soft fist technique!"

Sasuke didn't use his full strength; he just gave a gentle push.

Even so, Naruto was still knocked away and rolled several times on the ground before stopping.

"That speed just now... how is that possible?"

Naruto got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and his smile disappeared, replaced by confusion and resentment.

"When did you become so skilled in physical combat?"

Sasuke withdrew his chakra, deactivating the gate-opening state.

A wave of fatigue washed over him, but he forced it down.

"This is the new physical technique I've learned."

He tried to keep his tone calm, but a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes.

"You lost, Naruto."

Naruto clenched his fists, his blue eyes fixed on Sasuke.

He could sense that the power and speed Sasuke had used just now far exceeded his usual level.

"I haven't lost yet!"

Naruto roared and charged forward again.

He seemed to have seen Kiyoshi use this taijutsu before; it was a technique called "Eight Gates Formation".

But this time, Naruto's movements were somewhat chaotic, a reckless attack driven entirely by emotion.

Sasuke easily dodged to the side, then tripped Naruto with a sweeping kick and locked his neck with his arm.

"Admit defeat?"

Sasuke whispered in Naruto's ear.

Naruto struggled a few times, but found he couldn't break free at all.

He could feel the power coming from Sasuke's arm, and that terrifying control.

This sense of frustration was more intense than ever before.

Naruto bit his lip hard, and his eyes began to redden.

He didn't understand why Sasuke had suddenly improved so much.

Why is it that even though I'm working really hard, I can never catch up?
Just then, an unfamiliar chakra surged within Naruto's body.

Sasuke felt it; a burning sensation came from the arm that was locking Naruto's neck.

He instinctively let go of her hand and jumped back to create distance.

Naruto knelt on the ground, his hands supporting him, his shoulders heaving violently.

His eyes, which were originally azure blue, now had a crimson ring around the edges.

Within that red hue, a strange pattern was rotating.

Mangekyō Sharingan.

"!"

Sasuke looked shocked.

As is widely known, the Sharingan is the bloodline limit of the Uchiha clan.

But Naruto... how could he...?

Sasuke looked at the Sharingan in Naruto's eyes, and a complex mix of emotions welled up inside him.

Keep in mind that he didn't awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, but rather the Byakugan!
"I...I am..."

Naruto looked up, staring blankly at his hands.

He could feel the change in his eyes; his vision became clearer, and he could even see the texture of leaves in the distance.

But he didn't know what had happened.

"That's it for today."

Kiyoshi's voice suddenly rang out.

Before anyone knew it, he had appeared at the edge of the training field, with Mikoto standing beside him.

Kiyoshi walked into the center of the field, first looked at Sasuke and nodded in approval, then squatted down and looked at Naruto who was kneeling on the ground.

"Naruto, look at me."

Kiyoshi said.

Naruto raised his head, his Sharingan eyes still slowly rotating.

Kiyoshi reached out and gently touched Naruto's forehead with his finger.

A cool surge of chakra flowed in, and Naruto felt his agitated emotions gradually calm down. The crimson in his eyes slowly faded, returning to their original blue.

"Don't tell anyone what happened just now."

Kiyoshi said in a low voice.

"Including teachers, and everyone else, understand?"

Naruto nodded blankly.

"Go home and get some rest today."

Kiyoshi patted him on the shoulder.

Naruto stood up, glanced at Sasuke with a complicated expression, then lowered his head and left the training ground.

"Father, Naruto, he..."

Sasuke walked up to Kiyoshi, hesitating to speak.

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

Kiyoshi interrupted him and looked at Mikoto.

"Take Sasuke home first, I have some things to take care of."

Mikoto nodded, took Sasuke's hand, and left.

She seemed thoughtful about Naruto's changes.

This is clearly due to Kiyoshi.

Thinking of this, Mikoto gave Kiyoshi a resentful look.

Kiyoshi stood alone in the center of the training field, gazing in the direction Naruto had left, lost in thought.

Naruto awakened his Sharingan, which was within his expectations, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

It seems that the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra, combined with his bloodline, has produced some unpredictable changes.

…………

Meanwhile, inside the distant moon.

In the space created by Hamura Ōtsutsuki, the artificial sun has just risen, its light shining on the white buildings.

The architecture here is primitive and completely different from that on Earth.

Inside the central hall, Otsutsuki Toneri knelt before the portrait of his ancestor.

He had white hair, a handsome face, and his eyes were covered with white cloth.

He has already received the Byakugan transplant and only needs to wait a while for it to awaken the Tenseigan.

Moreover, as a direct descendant of Hamura Otsutsuki, he possesses powerful sensory abilities, even able to perceive things on Earth across space.

Recently, he has been having the same dream frequently.

She was a blue-haired girl with pure white eyes and a gentle smile.

Every time he woke up, Sheren felt his heart pounding.

He knew who it was: Hinata Hyuga, the eldest daughter of the main branch of the Hyuga clan on Earth.

He had seen Hinata Hyuga on Earth before, when he was with his father.

According to the prophecy of their ancestor, Hamura Otsutsuki, when humanity on Earth falls into war again and heads towards self-destruction, a descendant of Otsutsuki should descend, unite with the princess of the Hyuga clan, create a new human ancestor, and guide the world towards rebirth.

but……

Toneri opened his eyes. Although they were covered by a cloth, his senses were drawn to a portrait deep within the main hall. It was a portrait of Ōtsutsuki Hamura. The ancestor in the painting had a solemn face, and his deep blue Tenseigan seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

"Lord Ancestor..."

The servant muttered to himself.

"I'm dreaming about her more and more often. Does this mean the time is almost right?"

He wanted to go to Earth right now to bring Hinata back and fulfill their engagement.

But each time he prayed to his ancestors for guidance, he only received vague responses, as if his ancestors were hesitating about something.

Today, Sheren has decided to try communicating with his ancestors again.

He stood up and walked to the altar in the center of the hall.

On the altar sits a crystal ball emitting a pale blue light, a medium left behind by Ōtsutsuki Hamura, capable of connecting with the consciousness of his ancestor.

Sheren placed his hands on the crystal ball, closed his eyes, and concentrated.

"Ancestor Otsutsuki Hamura..."

Chakra was poured into the crystal ball, and the blue light gradually brightened.

In a daze, Sheren's consciousness was pulled into a certain space.

It was a pure white world, with no up, down, left, or right, only endless white.

In the center of the white sky, a figure slowly emerged.

That was none other than Ōtsutsuki Hamura, dressed in a simple white robe, his azure Tenseigan gazing at Toneri.

But his expression was different from what I remembered. It was no longer the solemn and kind look, but rather carried a certain...confusion?
"Servant."

Hamura Otsutsuki's voice echoed in the space.

“Ancestor, I dreamed of her again, Hinata Hyuga.”

The servant said respectfully.

"The dream is becoming clearer and clearer. I think this must be your guidance. Please allow me to go to Earth, bring her back, and fulfill the mission of our race."

Ōtsutsuki Hamura remained silent for a moment.

"Master She, do you still remember the prophecy I told you?"

"remember."

The servant answered immediately.

"When humanity on Earth heads towards self-destruction, the descendants of the Otsutsuki clan will unite with Princess Hyuga to create a new progenitor of humanity and guide the world to a new beginning. Right now, war is raging on Earth, and while the five great nations appear to be at peace, they are constantly at odds with each other. This is the era foretold in the prophecy."

"but……"

Hamura Otsutsuki slowly shook his head.

"Prophecy is not absolute. The thread of fate has countless branches, and every choice will lead to a different future."

The servant was confused:

"Does the Ancestor mean... now is not the right time?"

"I do not know."

Hamura Otsutsuki's answer was unexpected.

“I’ve recently… sensed something unusual. The flow of chakra on Earth has changed in ways I can’t understand, and more importantly…”

He paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts.

“I sensed a presence, a presence that was both strange and familiar. It was on Earth, yet it looked more and more like my father from a thousand years ago.”

"Father?"

The servant was taken aback.

Hamura Otsutsuki's father, wasn't he the legendary progenitor of chakra, the one who united with Kaguya, the goddess of the rabbit?

"You mean...that person might still be alive? On Earth?"

"I do not know."

Otsutsuki Hamura repeated the word again, which was unusual for him.

"Perhaps I'm mistaken, but Toneri, do not travel to Earth lightly before you awaken the Tenseigan."

Toneri wanted to ask something more, but the figure of Ōtsutsuki Hamura began to fade away.

"Remember my words, Lord Shepherd..."

The sound dissipated, and Sheren's consciousness was bounced back to reality.

He opened his eyes, and although they were covered with a cloth, he could feel cold sweat seeping from his forehead.

His ancestor's hesitation made him uneasy.

Who exactly is Ōtsutsuki Hamura?

That was the progenitor who created the lunar lineage, possessing the "Ten-Rebirth Eye" that could see through fate.

How complicated must something be if even he is confused?
And... Father?
Sheren recalled the subtle tremor in his ancestor's words; though it was very faint, he had definitely felt it.

Were our ancestors afraid?
This thought sent a chill down the spine of the servant.

He stood up and walked out of the main hall.

The artificial sun has risen high in the sky, and the white buildings gleam in its light.

It's beautiful and quiet here, but also... lonely.

Sherman longed to see the blue-haired girl, longed for true light, and longed for someone who could share all of this with him.

But now, he must be patient.

"Hinata..."

He murmured the name.

"Wait a little longer, I will definitely come to pick you up."

…………

Hidden Leaf Village.

When Kiyoshi returned home, it was already evening.

As soon as Kiyoshi stepped into the entrance hall, he heard noises coming from the kitchen.

He took off his shoes and walked over quietly.

In the kitchen, Kaguya Otsutsuki is trying to cook a new dish.

Today she was wearing a white dress that Qing Si had made for her; the loose-fitting dress couldn't hide her voluptuous figure.

Her long, blue and white hair was coiled at the back of her head with a simple wooden stick, and a few strands of hair fell down beside her cheeks.

With her back to the door, she bent down slightly to examine the pot on the stove.

This pose allows the kimono fabric to cling to her body, outlining an amazing curve from her slender waist to her full hips, like a ripe peach, heavy and swaying gently with her slightest movements.

Kiyoshi leaned against the doorframe, quietly watching the scene unfold.

Currently, neither Guren nor Niren are at home, so only Kaguya Otsutsuki and Hagoromo Otsutsuki are at Kiyoshi's house.

Kaguya Otsutsuki frowned slightly, her pure white eyes fixed on the contents of the pot, holding a recipe scroll in her hand, checking it from time to time.

"Add 'a little' salt..."

She muttered to herself, picked up the salt shaker, hesitated for a moment, then scooped out a tiny bit with a small spoon and carefully sprinkled it in.

Then I looked at the recipe.

Simmer over low heat for twenty minutes...

She adjusted the stove fire, stared at the pot for a few seconds, and then bent down, bringing her face closer to see the changes inside the pot.

The kimono collar opened slightly due to this movement, revealing a section of snow-white neck and delicate collarbone.

Kiyoshi finally couldn't help but chuckle.

Kaguya Otsutsuki froze, quickly straightened up, and turned to look at the doorway.

Seeing that it was Kiyoshi, she breathed a sigh of relief, but the tips of her ears still turned a faint pink.

"You're back."

Her voice remained cold and clear, but Kiyoshi could detect a subtle hint of panic.

"What delicious food are you making?"

Kiyoshi walked into the kitchen, naturally walked behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and looked into the pot.

It was a stew that looked pretty good, with meat, vegetables and some mushrooms, and the broth was thick and fragrant.

"Stewed potatoes and meat according to the recipe."

Kaguya Otsutsuki answered, relaxing slightly as she leaned against Kiyoshi.

"This is a common home-style dish; we should learn to cook it."

Kiyoshi could feel the vibrations in her chest as she spoke, as well as the unique cool fragrance emanating from her body, mixed with the warmth of the food.

"It smells nice."

He whispered in her ear, his lips brushing against her earlobe.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's ear tips turned even redder, but she didn't flinch, only giving a soft "hmm".

"Sasuke beat Naruto today."

Kiyoshi changed the subject, his hand gently caressing her waist. Kaguya Otsutsuki was wearing a thin kimono, and he could clearly feel the warmth and elasticity of her skin.

"who are they?"

"The reincarnations of Asura and Indra."

Kiyoshi's hand moved restlessly upwards, stroking her flat stomach, and he could feel the slight tension in her body through the fabric.

"Yeah."

Kaguya Otsutsuki never expected that the two of them could be reincarnated.

"It's just that Ashura awakened the Sharingan..."

"Is this so..."

Kaguya Otsutsuki wasn't paying much attention to this issue, because Kiyoshi's hands were currently waving around erratically.

Her body trembled slightly, but she didn't stop; her breathing just became a little more rapid.

"Where are Hagoromo and Hamura?"

"Neither of them was reincarnated."

Kiyoshi chuckled and reached in, his hand touching her warm skin.

Kaguya Otsutsuki let out a soft inhale.

"why?"

Her voice trembled.

"Because they are more powerful than Asuras and Indras, it would not be difficult for them to reappear in the world."

Kiyoshi said nonchalantly, and began to move his other hand, slowly pulling the clothes off her shoulders.

Ashura and Indra are, in the end, just reincarnations of chakra, not reincarnations of souls.

Kiyoshi kissed the back of her neck, feeling the coolness and smoothness of her skin.

Kaguya Otsutsuki tilted her head slightly, her long blue and white hair spreading out, with a few strands sticking to Kiyoshi's face.

She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling, her pure white eyes hidden, and her usually indifferent face was now flushed with an alluring blush.

"The food...it's going to burn..."

She tried to remind him, but her body had already gone limp in Kiyoshi's arms.

"Then let it burn."

Qing Si chuckled softly, turned her around, and hugged her face to face.
