Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Kaguya Otsutsuki slowly approached, her gaze falling on Hagoromo Otsutsuki:
"You question the ninjutsu taught by Kiyoshi?"

Her voice was calm, but beneath that calm lay a suffocating pressure.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki felt the pressure, but still mustered his courage and said:

“Mother, I believe chakra should be a power that connects hearts, not used for killing. Father’s teaching of offensive ninjutsu might lead to…”

"What will this lead to?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki interrupted him, her pure white eyes looking at Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

"Did it lead humans to use force to protect themselves? Did it give them the ability to fight threats?"

"But that was slaughter..."

"That's survival."

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's voice grew even colder.

"Otsutsuki Hagoromo, you are too naive. This world is not a gentle garden. Without power, you don't even have the right to live. Kiyoshi gave power to humanity to give them the right to live."

Of course, Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't care about rights or anything like that, and she didn't want to interfere with humanity.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki raised his head and looked directly into his mother's eyes:
"But Mother, what if chakra is abused, what if humans use this power to kill each other?"

"That was their choice."

Kaguya Otsutsuki's tone remained flat.

If it weren't for Kiyoshi's influence, she would have already hung the entire world on a tree and used "Infinite Tsukuyomi" to drain its life force.

“The Lord gives you strength, and how you use it is up to you, just as He gives you life, and how you live it is up to you.”

She paused, a rare emotion flashing in her pure white eyes—disappointment.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki was a portion of Kaguya Otsutsuki's chakra, and this portion of chakra also incorporated Kiyoshi's chakra.

The life created by the two of them together using the "Yin-Yang Escape Technique".

Although the birth process was different from the normal one, Kiyoshi and she were indeed the father and mother of Ōtsutsuki Hamura.

But what is Hagoromo Otsutsuki doing right now?
He's questioning Kiyoshi!

"You are questioning your father."

Kaguya Otsutsuki spoke slowly.

"You are questioning the person who gave you life and taught you to grow."

This made Kaguya Otsutsuki feel betrayed.

If Hagoromo Otsutsuki can question Kiyoshi, who is her father, in this way, then can she also question her, who is her mother, in the same way?

"No, Mother, I just..."

"You're questioning it."

Kaguya Otsutsuki's voice suddenly rose in volume, and although it wasn't loud, it made the surrounding air freeze.

She rolled her eyes at Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

Suddenly, a huge fluctuation of chakra appeared all around.

That imposing aura made Hagoromo Otsutsuki feel as if he were walking on thin ice.

This is... this is a mother's true strength!

Although Hagoromo Otsutsuki had long known that his father and mother were unfathomably powerful, this was the first time he had truly witnessed his mother's strength.

“You think he’s wrong, you think his choice is wrong, and you’d rather believe outsiders than your own father.”

Hagoromo Otsutsuki's face was pale:

"Mother, I didn't..."

"You have."

Kaguya Otsutsuki took a step closer and looked down at him.

But at this moment, the aura emanating from her completely overwhelmed Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

"Kiyoshi created the Pure Land, improved the Divine Tree, and imparted chakra to humanity. These things had no impact on humanity's life. Yet you, because you saw a little bloodshed, began to doubt him?"

Her voice was filled with cold anger.

“I don’t care what those toads told you. But if you question your father because of what outsiders say, then let me tell you…”

For the first time, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's pure white eyes revealed a light that was almost hostile towards her son.

"You unfilial son, he is your father!"

At the same time, Kaguya Otsutsuki's subtext was also a warning to Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

In Kaguya Otsutsuki's view, father and mother were equal, and the two held the same status.

If Hagoromo Otsutsuki could betray Kiyoshi, then she could also betray herself.

Kaguya Otsutsuki detested betrayal the most.

These few words carry immense weight.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki staggered back a step, his face deathly pale.

Hamura Otsutsuki quickly helped his brother up and said to Kaguya Otsutsuki:
“Mother, my brother is just confused for a moment; he means no harm.”

Kaguya Otsutsuki stared at them coldly for a long time before turning and leaving.

When she stepped outside, she paused for a moment without turning back.

“You can have your own ideas, but I hope you will be mindful of your limits and not do anything out of line.”

If Hagoromo Otsutsuki were to betray them because of these reasons, then Kaguya Otsutsuki would not hold back.

She disappeared behind the door.

Only Hagoromo and Hamura Otsutsuki remained in the courtyard.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki collapsed to the ground, covering his face with his hands:
"I...I just..."

"Brother, you're too hasty."

Hamura Otsutsuki crouched down and spoke softly.

“My father and mother had their reasons. What we saw was only the tip of the iceberg. Perhaps there was a deeper reason why my father taught offensive ninjutsu.”

"what reason?"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion.

"I don't know," Hamura Otsutsuki said honestly.

“But I know that my father has never harmed the innocent. He saved Yuzhi’s grandmother, saved the Ancestral Country, and created a Pure Land to guide souls… Would such a person easily plunge the world into chaos?”

Hagoromo Otsutsuki remained silent.

"Give your father some trust, and give your mother some understanding."

Hamura Otsutsuki patted him on the shoulder.

"They have experienced far more than we imagine."

As the sun set, it cast long shadows on the two brothers.

…………

Kaguya Otsutsuki's residence.

When the moonlight rose, Kiyoshi returned.

He went into the bedroom and saw Kaguya Otsutsuki sitting by the window.

"what happened?"

He approached and gently hugged her from behind.

Kaguya Otsutsuki leaned against him, and after a long while, she finally spoke:
"Otsutsuki Hagoromo... is questioning you."

Kiyoshi's hand paused for a moment:
"What are you questioning?"

"I question your instruction in offensive ninjutsu."
Kaguya Otsutsuki turned around and looked up at Kiyoshi.

He believed that chakra should not be used for killing.

Kiyoshi smiled upon hearing this.

This certainly goes against the principles of Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

In the original story, he wouldn't even say he was a ninja.

He believes that chakra is the power of mutual understanding between minds.

"Yeah."

Qingsi said calmly.

"Aren't you angry?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki asked.

"Why are you angry?"

Kiyoshi gently stroked her long hair.

He just wanted to see if he could refresh the page to see if any new entries could be found.

As for Hagoromo Otsutsuki, a good beating will do the trick.

Even if he learns "immortal arts," Kiyoshi doesn't believe he can escape his grasp.

“It’s a good thing that he has his own thoughts, even though his thoughts are not yet mature, at least he is thinking.”

"But he shouldn't have questioned you."

There was a hint of stubbornness in Kaguya Otsutsuki's voice.

Kiyoshi looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness:

"Kaguya Otsutsuki, you are protecting me."

"of course."

Kaguya Otsutsuki said it as a matter of course.

"You are my partner."

In Kaguya Otsutsuki's view, two people who reproduce are partners in the human definition.

Kiyoshi lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

"Is that so? But don't worry, Otsutsuki Hagoromo is just confused for a while. Give him time, and he will understand."

"What if he doesn't understand?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki asked.

"Then guide him to understand."

Kiyoshi's voice was indifferent.

It cannot be understood in words.

Then let him understand physically.

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki gazed at him, her pure white eyes reflecting Kiyoshi's face.

After a long while, she nodded gently:

"it is good."

…………

Hagoromo Otsutsuki sat quietly beside the sacred tree for three days.

For the past three days, he has barely eaten anything, only occasionally drinking some water.

Its pure white eyes sometimes gazed at the towering canopy of the sacred tree, sometimes at the direction of its parents' dwelling, and most of the time at the distant mountains.

Otsutsuki Hamura did not disturb him.

He knew his brother needed time to think and to sort out the tangled thoughts in his mind.

So for the past few days, he has been diligently guarding the sacred tree.

Occasionally, these places will be visited by summoned beasts drawn by chakra and natural energy.

Kiyoshi modified the barrier.

The core barrier is located at the divine tree, which accelerates the area around the divine tree.

The next level of barrier is the area guarded by Hagoromo and Hamura, located 100 meters away from the Divine Tree.

These places leak natural energy from the sacred tree.

Finally, it leaked out again.

Therefore, some greedy spirit beasts will come looking for you.

On the evening of the third day, as the setting sun dyed the sky orange-red, Hagoromo Otsutsuki finally stood up.

His movements were somewhat stiff, and his muscles ached from sitting in meditation for so long, but the confusion in his eyes had dissipated considerably.

"I still want to go out and take a look."

"Otsutsuki Hagoromo said to his younger brother."

"I want to see with my own eyes what changes chakra has caused in the human world. I'm not just going to listen to my father or Gamamaru. I want to see it for myself."

Hamura Otsutsuki nodded:

“Be careful, brother, Mother was really angry that day…”

When her mother was mentioned, a complex emotion flashed in Hagoromo Otsutsuki's eyes.

He remembered the disappointment and coldness in those pure white eyes.

"I know."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki paused, then continued:

"I will be careful to act appropriately."

……

A small village beyond several mountains.

Smoke rose from the chimneys of every household, filling the air with the aroma of firewood and cooked food.

Children chased and played in the open space at the village entrance, while several elderly people sat under the eaves, chatting about everyday life.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki stood on the hillside outside the village, gazing at this scene.

He walked slowly down the mountain toward the Yuzhi family's house.

Before even reaching the door, I could hear the sound of wind-style chakra flowing.

The sound was so faint that he would have barely noticed it if he hadn't been so perceptive.

Unlike the chakra used in battle, this flow was very subtle.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki stopped and hid behind a large tree, peering out quietly.

Yuzhi sat on a stone bench in her yard, holding a piece of wood about the size of her palm.

Her fingertips shimmered with a pale yellow hue, formed from wind-style chakra sculpted into fine, hair-like streams of air.

The air currents swirled around her fingers. The haori was being sculpted.

Wind Release chakra transformed into an invisible carving knife, moving across the wood.

Wood shavings fell like snowflakes, gradually revealing the outline of the wood.

It was a person's profile, with well-defined features, a handsome face, and long, flowing hair...

Hagoromo Otsutsuki's pupils contracted slightly.

That was my father.

She was so focused on carving the haori that she was completely unaware that someone was secretly observing her.

Her eyes were devout, and she made each cut with utmost care, as if she were handling the most precious treasure.

After an unknown amount of time, the statue was finally completed.

She held the haori in her hands, examining it closely, a satisfied smile appearing on her lips.

That smile contained the shyness of a young girl, the piety of a believer, and some other... indescribable emotion.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki frowned.

He doesn't like this feeling.

It's not that I dislike my father who carved haori (traditional Chinese clothing).

That in itself wasn't a problem. What he disliked was the mix of worship and admiration in Yuzhi's eyes, and her almost obsessive attitude towards her father's statue.

This isn't right.

The father is the progenitor who bestowed chakra, the benefactor who saved the village, and a supreme god.

Yuri's feelings for him should be reverence, gratitude, and admiration, not something like this... something mixed with personal desires.

To be honest, Hagoromo Otsutsuki didn't know why he thought that way.

There are many ordinary people who idolize their fathers.

Why is he feeling unwell?
Hagoromo Otsutsuki couldn't understand it.

The next moment, Hagoromo Otsutsuki wanted to turn around and leave, but his feet seemed to be rooted to the spot.

He watched for a while longer until Yuri finally put away the statue and prepared to go back inside.

"Haori".

He eventually went outside.

Yuzhi was startled and almost dropped the statue in her hand.

Upon seeing that it was Hagoromo Otsutsuki, she breathed a sigh of relief and instinctively hid the statue behind her back.

"Lord Hagoromo Otsutsuki, when...when did you arrive?"

"Just arrived."

"Otsutsuki Hagoromo said, his gaze sweeping over her hands hidden behind her back."

"doing what?"

"No, it's nothing."

Haori's voice sounded somewhat flustered.

She didn't want Hagoromo Otsutsuki to know that she was carving Kiyoshi.

"I just wanted to carve something... What brings you here today?"

"walk around."

Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo-do.

How's things in the village lately?

"pretty good."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be delving into the matter of the statue, Haori relaxed a little.

"Everyone is cultivating chakra according to the methods taught by the Ancestor. Some of the young people are making great progress. By the way, yesterday, A-Jian from the east end of the village used Earth Release to repair the paddy field ridge that had been washed away by the rain, saving a lot of effort!"

Her eyes sparkled and shone brightly as she spoke of these things.

As Hagoromo Otsutsuki listened, his discomfort lessened slightly.

At least, the chakra did bring tangible benefits to the village: repairing field ridges, protecting homes, and improving lives. Wasn't this exactly what Father wanted to see?
But soon, he remembered the charred wolf and the complex look in Yuzhi's eyes when she released her fire jutsu.

Power is always a double-edged sword.

"You can continue with your work."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki shook his head.

"I am leaving."

"Oh? Won't you sit down? Grandma made some bean cakes..."

"Next time."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki turned and left.

He needs to be alone and needs to sort out his thoughts.

As Yuri watched his departing figure, a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes, but she was quickly drawn to the statue in her hand.

She gently stroked the statue's cheek and whispered:
"Lord Ancestor..."

……

Meanwhile, at Kaguya's residence.

Kaguya Otsutsuki was also training in some ninjutsu.

However, the moment she stood up, she felt a slight tearing sound coming from her legs.

"Ok?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki looked down at her legs.

She was wearing a white long dress today, the hem of which only reached above her knees, which Qing Si said made it easier for her to move around.

Under her skirt, she was wearing something called stockings that Qing Si had given her before.

It was a very peculiar garment, woven from a special kind of silk thread, as thin as a cicada's wing, yet with amazing elasticity.

Once you put it on, it clings to your skin, outlining every curve of your legs. It feels smooth and soft to the touch, and... inexplicably captivating.

Kiyoshi said it was a gift, and he even helped her put it on once himself.

Kaguya Otsutsuki remembered the feeling at that time; his palms were warm, supporting her ankles, pulling the thin fabric up inch by inch until it reached her thighs.

His fingers would occasionally touch her skin, each touch causing her body to tremble slightly.

That feeling... was very strange.

But not annoying either.

Now, a small tear has appeared on the left thigh of these stockings.

It was clear that during the cultivation just now, the energy flow, which was too focused, unintentionally tore it apart.

Kaguya Otsutsuki stared at the crack, a hint of... displeasure appearing in her pure white eyes?
She wasn't quite sure what this feeling was.

If the stockings are torn, you can change them; Kiyoshi gave her several pairs.

But she just felt that these shoes were particularly comfortable to wear, and it would be a pity if they got torn.

Moreover, Kiyoshi seemed to really enjoy seeing her wear this.

As she was thinking, the door to the cultivation room was pushed open.

Kiyoshi walked in, carrying a plate of sliced ​​fruit.

Seeing Kaguya Otsutsuki standing there looking down at her legs, he raised an eyebrow:

"what happened?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki raised her head, her expression still aloof, but her tone carried a rare hint of annoyance:

"broken."

Kiyoshi followed her gaze and saw the tear in the stockings.

A smile played on his lips as he approached and placed the fruit plate on a low table to the side.

"Did you overexert yourself during cultivation?"

He crouched down and gently touched the crack with his fingers.

His fingertips touched the skin of her thigh through her stockings.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's body stiffened almost imperceptibly, but she did not dodge.

"Ah."

Kaguya Otsutsuki said briefly.

Kiyoshi's hand stroked upwards along the crack.

She looked down at Kiyoshi.

At this moment, Qing Si was half-squatting in front of her, his long black hair hanging down, and his profile was clearly defined.

His fingers lingered on her legs, the thin stockings seemingly nonexistent, his warmth directly transmitted to her skin.

Simply put, Kiyoshi pinched Kaguya Otsutsuki's leg.

"If they're torn, just get a new pair."

Kiyoshi finally withdrew his hand and stood up.

What color do you want?

Kaguya Otsutsuki blinked:
"color?"

"Yes, I had several different ones made."

Kiyoshi took out the sealing scroll and opened it. Inside, there were more than a dozen pairs of stockings neatly stacked, some pure white, some black, some light purple, and some even with very fine patterns.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's gaze swept over the stockings, finally settling on Kiyoshi's face:
"What color do you prefer?"

Kiyoshi smiled and took out a pair of pure black shoes from the cabinet:
"this."

He walked back and squatted down again:
"Come on, lift your foot."

Kaguya Otsutsuki obediently raised her left foot.

Kiyoshi grasped her ankle and skillfully removed the torn stockings.

He also wore it for women like Mikoto and Tsunade many times.

Kiyoshi's palm completely enveloped her ankle, his thumb gently stroking the bone on the inside of her foot.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's toes curled up unconsciously.

Kiyoshi put the torn stockings aside, picked up the black ones, unfolded them, slipped them onto her toes, and then slowly pulled them up.

Black stockings covered her calves, knees, and thighs inch by inch.

The stockings are made of a very thin material, and when worn, they almost blend into the skin tone, but the black color gives the skin an alluring sheen.

Kiyoshi's fingers stopped when the stockings were pulled up to his thigh.

Because that's the length of the stockings.

The top of the stockings outlined some flesh on Kaguya Otsutsuki's snow-white skin.

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's breathing became somewhat rapid, and her pure white eyes shimmered with a moist luster.

"All right."

Kiyoshi finally secured the stockings, but his hand didn't leave immediately. Instead, he stroked down her thigh, down to her knee.

"Turn around, the other one."

Kaguya Otsutsuki turned around, her back to him, and raised her right foot.

This posture forced her to bend slightly forward, her buttocks sticking out, and the curves of her body were fully displayed in front of Kiyoshi, outlined by the tight skirt and stockings.

Kiyoshi's gaze lingered on her for a moment before he continued.

The second pair of stockings was put on even more slowly.

When the last bit of the stocking edge was secured to her waist, Kaguya Otsutsuki could barely stand.

She felt her legs completely enveloped by that thin layer of black fabric.

Kiyoshi's hand was still on her waist, his fingertips touching her waist.

"Turn around so I can see."

Qing Si said.

Kaguya Otsutsuki turned around. Black stockings perfectly encased her long, straight legs.

The top of the stockings was faintly visible under the hem of the skirt, and the clear mark on the upper thigh accentuated the alluring curves of her voluptuous legs.

Kiyoshi quietly admired it.

Great, very energetic, and very beautiful!
Kiyoshi stood up, placed his hands on her waist, and pulled her closer:

"suitable for you."

Kaguya Otsutsuki looked up at him, her pure white eyes reflecting his face.

She suddenly reached out, wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him.

Kiyoshi was somewhat surprised.

Kaguya Otsutsuki is really addictive.

Kiyoshi felt that she was even more addicted than the vigorous Kushina.

After a long while, Kaguya Otsutsuki leaned back slightly, ending the kiss.

Her cheeks were flushed with a very faint blush, her breathing was disordered, but her eyes were unusually bright.

"Thank you."

Kaguya Otsutsuki said subconsciously.

She never says thank you to anyone other than Kiyoshi.

Kiyoshi gently stroked her back:

"Thank you for what?"

"Thank you... for helping me get dressed."

Kaguya Otsutsuki spoke calmly.

But she buried her face in Kiyoshi's chest.

"What's this?"

Kiyoshi's lips curled into a smile.

He then began to inquire about the Otsutsuki clan.

In the past, Qing Si had never asked these questions.

He wanted to raise his favorability rating before asking. (End of Chapter)
