Naruto: Countless versions of myself superimposed at the same time!

"A massive floating fortress has been discovered above the outer forest on the northwestern border of Konoha, and it appears to contain a large amount of chakra."

Kiyohara put down the file in his hand and leaned back in his chair.

"It's nothing, it should be something from Shennong."

He briefly mentioned the background of the Sky Country, including the characteristics of the Zero Tail.

Kiyohara estimated that this was an experiment being conducted in the Land of Rain, which was then discovered by the sensory ninjas of Konoha, since chakra armor can enhance ninjutsu.

Currently, Konoha's borders have a strong ability to sense the surrounding countries.

As for the chakra armor, Kiyohara had already distributed it to the ninjas responsible for guarding the border.

Seeing this, Uzuki Yugao had no choice but to retreat.

Kurenai Yuhi emerged from the office lounge.

She walked behind Kiyohara and naturally placed one hand on his shoulder.

Kiyohara reached out and put his arm around her waist, gently pulling her onto his lap.

Her plump, rosy buttocks pressed against his legs.

"That floating fortress, was it also created by the Xiao Organization?"

As the sun sets, Kurenai turns her head, her ruby-like eyes gazing at Kiyohara's profile.

"To be precise, it was created by Shennong's faction within the Akatsuki organization. Shennong was a remnant of the Land of the Sky. After the Land of the Sky was destroyed by Konoha, he escaped with the remaining technology and was later recruited into the Akatsuki organization by Orochimaru."

As Kiyohara spoke, he buried his face in the side of Kurenai Yuhi's neck.

There was a faint scent of fresh hair. As Qingyuan's nose brushed against the most sensitive patch of skin behind her ear, he could feel her tremble slightly on his leg.

"Where have you been these past few days?"

"Go and fetch the Hero's Water."

Qingyuan said calmly.

"Hero's Water is a secret treasure of Takigakure. Drinking it can increase chakra several times over in a short period of time, but the price is having your life force drained."

"I've already obtained the sample. If we can develop a way to reduce the side effects and change its effect from a one-time burst to a controllable amplification, we can mass-produce it into a chakra-enhancing agent."

"It doesn't require risking your life like Hero's Water; it only provides a short-term chakra boost during battle."

Kurenai blinked and turned her head slightly to avoid his breath, but her ears were already bright red.

Kiyohara is always like this; he gets straight to the point and likes to stir things up.

"Where did you get all this good stuff from?"

She said softly.

“I’ll also save you a portion when you’re hungry.”

Kiyohara gently pinched her waist.

Kurenai paused for a moment, then tilted her head back and kissed him on the corner of his mouth.

The lips were soft and warm, and they smelled sweet when they touched me.

Just one bite?

Yuhi Kurenai's cheeks flushed slightly, and she leaned in to give him another kiss.

This time the stay was a little longer than before.

"Maybe we can try the back now?"

Kiyohara pressed his lips close to her ear, almost biting her earlobe.

"I haven't tried it yet."

Kiyohara's development of Kurenai Yuhi was actually not very advanced; he only mastered two aspects of her abilities.

But a person can have three orifices.

Kurenai Yuhi froze on his lap.

The blush on her face spread visibly.

Her lips opened and closed, closed and opened again, and finally she leaped off Kiyohara's lap.

"...How could you be so wicked!"

With a flushed face, Xi Ri hurried towards the door, her bodycon skirt slapping lightly against her hips with each quick step.

She opened and closed the door, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away in the corridor before it fell silent.

Kiyohara leaned back in the Hokage chair, looked at the door that was still shaking slightly, and chuckled.

Meanwhile, Kurenai Yuhi, walking down the corridor, gradually slowed her pace.

She reached the top of the stairs, her fingers gripping the cold iron handrail, and stopped going down.

The heat on her face hadn't completely subsided. She turned and glanced back at the closed office door.

She bit her lower lip, a hint of hesitation appearing in her ruby-like eyes.

I was so quick to refuse just now, but now that I've calmed down, I feel a little regretful.

It's not all regret.

I was scared, but also a little curious.

She wanted to refuse, but she didn't want to disappoint Kiyohara. Kurenai stood at the top of the stairs for a while.

In the end, she didn't go back. She took a deep breath and quickly walked down the stairs.

Not long after, the office door was silently pushed open.

Xiao Nan walked in, glanced at Qing Yuan, and noticed that his gaze was still fixed on the door that had just been closed.

"What's wrong with red?"

"It's nothing."

Kiyohara pulled himself out of his thoughts and pushed a border patrol report in front of Minami.

"Let's get down to business. A floating fortress has been discovered on the border of Konoha. It should be inside the Land of Rain. You will take Uzuki Yugao and the second Anbu squad to the border to investigate the fortress's specific situation."

Xiao Nan picked up the report, quickly scanned it, and nodded.

"Also, when you go to deliver the medicine to Nagato, find out two things as well."

Kiyohara took a sealed medicine packet from the drawer and placed it on the table.

"First, about the fortress; second, about the Akatsuki Village I mentioned to you last time. How are Nagato and Yahiko's discussions going?"

Konan put the medicine packet into her ninja tool bag.

"clear."

Her figure flashed at the doorway and disappeared.

After Konan's footsteps faded into the distance, Kiyohara took out the scroll containing the flesh and blood of the Seven-Tailed Fox from his sleeve.

Chapter 376 Nohara Rin is Jealous, Otsutsuki Isshiki's Actions

Kiyohara unfolded the scroll on his desk. The scroll contained a fist-sized piece of flesh covered with shell-like patterns.

The flesh was still twitching slightly, showing the unique activity of the tailed beast cells.

Kiyohara put the flesh and blood into his mouth, and the Seven-Tails' chakra flowed down his throat and into his meridian system.

The Seven-Tails' chakra is quite different from all the tailed beasts it has adapted to before.

The Nine-Tails' chakra was violent and scorching, like swallowing a lump of burning lava.

The One-Tailed Beast's chakra was cold and sticky, like grains of sand simultaneously seeping into one's meridians.

The Seven-Tails' chakra is light and agile.

Kiyohara could feel a strange sensation on his back. Then, with a thought, the Seven-Tails' chakra erupted and formed wings.

"It seems to increase my flight speed."

Kiyohara stroked his chin.

This technique can improve his mobility, which is a good ability.

Kiyohara then folded his wings and continued to try to adapt.

Kiyohara could feel his sensory abilities expanding in a completely new way.

Among all the tailed beasts, Shichimei is known for his ability to fly and his insect senses.

Its chakra possesses a subtle sensitivity to its surroundings.

……

Several days have passed.

Kiyohara adapted to the Seven-Tails' chakra while instructing Hinata, Naruto, Sasuke, and others.

That day, he looked at the files on the table.

This is the cooperation document sent by Ye Cang.

The files are mostly about trade.

Sunagakure opens its ore and medicinal herb procurement channels to Konoha, while Konoha provides Sunagakure with priority supply rights for food and timber, and the two sides mutually exempt caravans from transit tariffs.

The items were neatly arranged, and each page was stamped with the vermilion seal of the Fifth Kazekage.

Kiyohara glanced at it, picked up a pen, and signed his name on the last page.

Ye Cang moved faster than he had expected.

After Rasa was imprisoned in the dungeon, the Sunagakure Elders Council completed the trial process in less than half a month. On the day of the public trial, Chiyo personally presided over the proceedings. Rasa was stripped of his position as Kazekage and imprisoned for life.

With Chiyo's support, Yekura became the fifth Kazekage, and the first diplomatic document he signed after taking office was this cooperation agreement.

Kiyohara handed the signed document to an Anbu ninja, asking him to send it back to Sunagakure.

Shayin Village is just the first step.

Konoha's sphere of influence now covers the Fire, Wind, and Lightning kingdoms. Kirigakure has also signed a strategic agreement under Mei Terumi's control. Although Iwagakure is still observing, that old fox Onoki is not blind to the situation.

What truly constrains Konoha is not diplomacy, but physical distance.

Even if ninjas travel at full speed from Konoha to the border of the Land of Wind, it would take them several days, while an ordinary caravan would take half a month to make the journey.

If Konoha's influence is to truly permeate every corner, relying solely on ninjas running errands is not enough.

After all, not everyone can use space-time ninjutsu to travel between major countries at will, like Kiyohara.

After thinking for a moment, Kiyohara had someone call Kakashi over.

When Kakashi pushed the door open and came in, he still looked as lazy as ever, with his silver-gray hair sticking up outside his forehead guard and his mask covering most of his face, leaving only a dead fish eye showing.

He walked to his desk and put one hand in his pocket.

"Kiyohara, you were looking for me?"

"I have a project for you."

Kiyohara took out a roll of pre-drawn drawings from the drawer and unfolded it on the table.

The drawing was densely covered with the route of the railway, radiating outwards from the main gate of Konoha. One line led to the coastal port in the eastern part of the Land of Fire, another to the mining town in the north, and the third extended southwest to the border of the Land of Wind.

Every line was clearly marked with a vermilion pen, and the mountains, rivers, and passes along the way were marked in small print next to them.

Kakashi looked down at the drawing, and the eye that was sticking out of his mask slowly opened from a dead fish eye to a normal size.

"Railways?"

He stretched out his finger and slowly traced a line on the drawing, from Konoha all the way to the border of the Land of Wind.

"You want to connect Konoha with the entire Land of Fire using iron rails?"

"Not only the Land of Fire, but once the main lines within the Land of Fire are completed, the branch lines will extend to the Land of Wind and the Land of Lightning."

Kiyohara tapped his finger on the mark indicating the location of Konoha on the drawing.

"The train runs faster than many ninjas at full speed. The key is that it can run continuously without rest or crew changes."
