Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

A month goes by in a blink of an eye.

During this month, Hagoromo Otsutsuki would occasionally go out and not stay near the Divine Tree all the time.

Instead of going to Yuri's place, he traveled among other human villages, observing the changes brought about by chakra and also observing humanity itself.

He saw chakra used to build bridges and roads, to heal the sick and save lives, and he also saw chakra used for fighting. On one occasion, he even witnessed a conflict between two villages over a water dispute.

Both sides have people who can use chakra, and although the scale of the battle is not large, the harm is far greater than before.

The power brought by ninjutsu is also inflating people's morale, making battles more frequent.

Each time he saw these things, the inner conflict intensified.

Is chakra good or bad?
Why did the father transmit chakra?
Moreover, humans are far too vulnerable to ninjutsu.

If small-scale battles are like this, what will happen if these people who can use chakra engage in large-scale battles in the future?

There is no answer to the question about Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

……

On the other side of the journey where Hagoromo Otsutsuki traveled, the speed at which Hagoromo progressed was astonishing.

When Kiyoshi returned to the Land of Ancestors to teach ninjutsu, he clearly sensed that the amount of chakra in Haori's body had nearly doubled since their last meeting.

Moreover, her control over chakra has become more refined, and she can now use two different ninjutsu types simultaneously without them interfering with each other.

After training, Yuri did not leave immediately like the others. Instead, she waited at the edge until the crowd around Kiyoshi dispersed before timidly stepping forward.

"Lord Ancestor..."

Kiyoshi looked at her:
"Is something wrong?"

Yuri took a small cloth bag from her bosom and handed it to Kiyoshi with both hands:

"This... is for you."

Kiyoshi took it and opened the cloth bag. Inside was the wooden carving.

The statue of his profile is sculpted with exquisite detail, so much so that even the texture of his hair is clearly visible.

The statue was polished to a smooth and warm finish, clearly indicating that it had been frequently touched and handled.

Kiyoshi raised an eyebrow.

How was this made?

Do you hold it while eating, drinking, and sleeping?

Besides the statue, Kiyoshi also found a folded note in the cloth bag.

Kiyoshi unfolded the slip of paper, on which was written in Haori's elegant handwriting.

The language and script used were naturally those of that period, but Kiyoshi had no difficulty reading them.

The note simply expressed her gratitude and admiration for him, while also subtly revealing the girl's feelings that she was too shy to express.

After reading it, he folded the note again and looked at the haori.

Haori lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and her fingers nervously twisted the hem of her clothes.

"Well done, I'll accept it."

Kiyoshi put the statue away.

"Is there anything else you want to see me about?"

Haori mustered her courage and raised her head:
“Ancestor, I… I want to become stronger and do more for you. I have practiced all the ninjutsu you taught me diligently, but I feel it’s not enough… I can feel that I still have untapped potential.”

Kiyoshi looked at her.

After a moment, he spoke:

"You are indeed talented."

Kiyoshi felt that if Haori had been born a thousand years later and received systematic ninja training, her achievements would not have been low.

Haori's eyes lit up.

"I can give you strength."

Kiyoshi continued.

"There's something called a 'cursed seal,' which can unleash your potential and greatly enhance your chakra and physical abilities, but in return, it also brings some burdens."

"I am willing!"

Yuri said without hesitation.

"I'm willing to do anything to help the Ancestor!"

Kiyoshi nodded:
“I do need you to do one thing for me: go to more countries and more places to spread the seeds of chakra. I will give you flying ninjutsu so that you can move between countries faster, and the cursed seal will give you enough power to deal with danger even in normal circumstances.”

"Yes."

Haori nodded seriously.

Kiyoshi extended his right index finger, and a faint light shone from the tip.

With a gentle stroke, a tiny wound appeared on his fingertip, and a drop of bright red blood seeped out.

The blood droplet was different from ordinary blood; it contained immense chakra and life force.

"Take it."

Kiyoshi said to flick the drop of blood toward the haori.

The droplet of blood traced an arc in the air before falling into Yuzhi's slightly parted, bright red mouth.

Instantly, Yui felt a surge of scorching energy flow from her throat throughout her body.

Her body began to heat up, her skin turned red, and her chakra surged uncontrollably.

She could clearly feel her chakra levels increasing wildly, and her meridian system being forcibly expanded.

A strange energy began to flow into her body from the surrounding area.

"what……"

Yuzhi couldn't help but let out a soft moan, her legs went weak, and she almost knelt down.

Kiyoshi reached out to support her, placing his palm on her abdomen:
"It's normal for the process to be somewhat painful, after all, it's difficult for mortals to withstand the power of the curse seal."

Even though Kiyoshi's curse seal has been improved many times, it still carries a certain degree of risk.

Of course, compared to Orochimaru's success rate, Kiyoshi's was many times higher.

Haori gritted her teeth, forcing herself to concentrate.

She could feel the warmth from Kiyoshi's palm and a surge of chakra gathering in her abdomen.

After an unknown amount of time, the burning sensation gradually subsided, replaced by a warm and powerful force.

She looked down at her abdomen, where a dark mark was visible beneath her clothes.

The shape of the mark was peculiar, resembling some kind of unfamiliar script. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a simplified version of modern writing, as the haori vaguely perceived it.

Some of the prototypes resembled the characters "清司".

"The way the curse seal naturally forms."

Kiyoshi withdrew his hand.

Yui touched the mark on her abdomen, feeling a strange sensation.

The mark didn't hurt or itch, but it felt like... it was the name of the progenitor.

This gave her a strange sense of shame, yet she also felt a vague sense of joy.

Then Kiyoshi patted Haori on the shoulder and used a modified version of "Disorderly Body Rush Technique" to let her sense the trajectory of the Wind Release ninjutsu.

This is a wind-style flying ninjutsu that Kiyoshi casually created.

The chakra consumption is much lower than that of "Earth Release: Light and Heavy Rock Technique".

"Try it."

Kiyoshi said.

"Use the chakra within the cursed seal."

Make the haori as before.

She focused her mind and mobilized the new and massive chakra within her body.

The next moment, black lines appeared on her skin, like burning black auspicious clouds.

Chakra is increasing.

Yuri felt that her chakra was several times stronger than before.

Is this the First Ancestor?

Yuzhi was shocked.

She improved her strength so easily!
Subsequently, the haori followed the meridian system route that Kiyoshi had once traversed within her body.

The chakra began to flow slowly.

Gradually, in places she couldn't see, the patterns on the curse mark were also changing accordingly.

Behind it, wing-like patterns were formed.

This is the "Winged Curse Seal" planted by Kiyoshi, a curse seal created by taking the genes of a large number of bird-like spirit beasts.

It enhances the ability to fly even more than the traditional "Heavenly Curse Seal".

Then, Yuri realized that her feet had left the ground and she was slowly rising.

She really flew!
Although it was still wobbling a bit, it was indeed suspended in the air.

"The key to flying ninjutsu is continuous output and precise control."

Kiyoshi advised, "The more you practice, the better you'll master it."

The haori steadied itself in mid-air.

"Ancestor! I will definitely fulfill your request."

Kiyoshi nodded: "Go ahead. Once you're ready, you can set off."

The haori landed back on the ground, bowed deeply, and then turned and left.

Her steps were light and quick, her silhouette full of energy and determination.

Kiyoshi watched her walk away, then turned to return to Kaguya's residence.

But he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he looked at a large tree in a secluded spot and said softly:
"Have seen enough?"

A white figure slowly emerged from behind the tree.

It's Kaguya Otsutsuki.

She had arrived there at some point and had been standing behind the tree, quietly watching everything that had just happened.

Her pure white eyes held no emotion, but her brows were slightly furrowed.

"What is this?"

"The 'Curse Seal' is essentially an imitation of 'Immortal Arts,' but it has a lower barrier to entry."

Seiji explained.

“You gave her a curse mark.”

Kaguya Otsutsuki said, her voice eerily calm.

"Ah."

Kiyoshi approached her.

"She has good talent and can become a messenger for spreading chakra."

"that is it?"

"if not?"

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki remained silent for a moment, then suddenly turned and left.

As Kiyoshi watched her departing figure, he quickly caught up and grabbed her wrist:

"Kaguya."

Kaguya Otsutsuki stopped, but did not turn around.

"You're angry."

Kiyoshi said.

"I do not have."

Kaguya Otsutsuki denied it, but the coldness in her voice betrayed her emotions.

Kiyoshi turned her around so that she was facing him.

Her expression remained aloof, her pure white eyes staring directly at Qing Si, but within them surged some unfamiliar emotions.

Is that jealousy?
Or is it possessiveness?
Or is it both?
Kaguya Otsutsuki herself didn't know.

All she knew was that she saw Kiyoshi give Haori that drop of blood, saw the mark of "Kiyoshi" on Haori's abdomen, and saw the look of worship in Haori's eyes...

It made her feel very uncomfortable.

Very uncomfortable.

It's like someone coveting something that belongs to you.

Even though she knew that giving these humans the ability to fly would allow them to expand their range of activities to a great extent.

This will greatly accelerate the spread of chakra, allowing more people to possess chakra.

The souls of these people after death will be drawn to the "pure land" by the Grim Reaper.

"She idolizes you."

Kaguya Otsutsuki.

“Many people admire me.”

"She doesn't just idolize her."

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's voice grew even colder.

"She...has other thoughts about you."

Kiyoshi smiled:

"It's not my fault that I'm handsome."

Qingsi shook his head.

His physique is now more and more perfect, and his temperament is naturally extraordinary.

Kiyoshi has always been evolving, evolving towards perfection.

Changes in appearance are just one aspect.

He reached out and gently stroked Kaguya Otsutsuki's cheek:

"What are you worried about?" Kaguya Otsutsuki turned her face away.
"I'm not worried."

Kiyoshi pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head:
"Kaguya, do you think a mortal can bear me?"

Upon hearing this, Kaguya Otsutsuki's tense face relaxed slightly.

Qing Si is right; these mortals cannot bear Qing Si's weight.

To be honest, in front of these mortals, Qing Si was no different from a god.

Even if they obtained chakra, it would only be a negligible amount of power.

Kaguya Otsutsuki buried her face in his chest, her expression remaining blank.

But he said it in a somewhat sullen tone:
"I don't like the way she looks at you."

"Then I won't look at her anymore."

"Just look at you, okay?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki did not answer, but the arms around his waist tightened.

From a distance, Yuzhi, who had already walked quite far, looked back and happened to see this scene.

Her eyes dimmed for a moment, but quickly hardened again.

Yes, the Goddess of the Rabbit and the Ancestor are a match made in heaven...

It's ok.

She was content as long as she could help the Ancestor and do things for him.

As for anything else... she dared not ask for more.

She touched the mark on her abdomen, where the warmth of Kiyoshi's chakra still lingered.

This is enough.

She turned and continued walking into the distance.

Beneath the Divine Tree, Kiyoshi held Kaguya Otsutsuki in his arms, gazing in the direction where Haori had departed.

Chakra is spreading continuously.

Now, let's see what kind of flower this seed will bloom in the human world.

As for Kaguya Otsutsuki's jealousy... Kiyoshi looked down at the perfect profile of the woman in his arms, a smile playing on his lips.

Having some emotions is a good thing.

This shows that she is becoming more and more like a human being.

Instead of being the cold, empty Otsutsuki who only knew how to complete tasks.

This is exactly what he wanted.

'As for the haori, it shouldn't be long.'

Kiyoshi thought to himself.

The current human population is not large.

Only when human life is secure and no longer troubled by spirit beasts will the population experience explosive growth.

The more people there are, the more ninjas there will naturally be.

Imagine, the area where Qing Si lived in his previous life had more than seven billion people.

The ninja world he now inhabits is much, much larger than it was in his previous life.

It can naturally accommodate a larger population.

These constantly dying and being reborn souls will bring Kiyoshi a large amount of chakra!

…………

Several days later, in a very far place.

On a barren wasteland, a few simple mud-brick houses stand forlornly.

This place is known as the "Monk Village," named after a mysterious monk who settled here.

The villagers only knew that this monk named Cixian was taciturn, always wore a straw hat, and always had a thick bandage wrapped around his right ear.

He would occasionally treat the villagers' illnesses and demonstrate some strange Buddhist teachings, but most of the time he would stay at home, seemingly practicing some kind of profound meditation.

No one knew that a nearly extinct entity was parasitizing inside Cixian's right ear.

Otsutsuki one style.

Once a noble member of the Otsutsuki clan, now only half of his body remains, shrunk to the size of a hair, barely clinging to life deep within the ear canals of mortals.

His chakra was so weak that it was almost imperceptible, and his consciousness was sometimes clear and sometimes blurred. He could only barely maintain his existence by relying on the nutrition from Jigen's body.

Even in this state, Otsutsuki Isshiki did not give up his obsession with revenge.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's betrayal without warning, and the sudden appearance of that strange Otsutsuki clansman.

If he hadn't activated the "Shōnami Bikūna" technique in time to shrink his body and then used his last strength to invade Jigen's body, he would have already perished completely.

"Kaguya...and that man..."

Whenever he was conscious, Yishi would repeat those two names in his mind, and hatred would boil over within him.

He needs power, he needs to recover, he needs a "vessel" that can hold all his power, and then he can be reincarnated.

However, finding the right "tool" is easier said than done.

The Otsutsuki clan's "Karma" has extremely demanding requirements for the vessel, requiring not only a strong physique but also a high degree of compatibility with the caster's chakra.

Although Cixian's body was barely usable, its aptitude was mediocre and its capacity to bear power was limited, so it could only serve as a temporary dwelling place.

"We must find a better container... and at the same time, we must begin preparations..."

Ichishiki controlled Jigen's body and sat in the dimly lit room.

His fingers tapped lightly on the rough wooden table, making a rhythmic sound.

These days of infiltration were not without reward. Through Jigen's eyes and ears, Ichishi observed the world and discovered some humans with potential.

Chakra is spreading across this land, and although it is still very weak, some people have indeed shown extraordinary talent.

Otsutsuki Isshiki vaguely guessed what Otsutsuki Kaguya and Kiyoshi were up to.

"An organization... needs to be established."

Ichishiki slowly opened Cigen's eyes.

"Let's call it 'Shell.' The outer shell protects the core, and the core... will eventually break through the shell and be reborn."

He stood up, walked to a wooden box in the corner of the room, and opened the lid.

The scrolls here contain some techniques from the Otsutsuki (large wooden frame).

Although he had little strength left, his knowledge remained.

Take out one of the scrolls and unfold it.

"Let's start with screening and training..."

He manipulated the chakra through the Cixian, and a faint chakra overflowed from his fingertips, leaving a peculiar mark on the scroll.

That's the symbol of the "shell" organization, representing protection and restraint.

…………

Kaguya's residence, night.

Kaguya Otsutsuki stood by the window, her pure white eyes gazing at the stars in the night sky.

The moonlight poured down like mercury, casting a faint glow on her long, blue-white hair.

She was wearing a purple nightgown, which couldn't hide her voluptuous curves at all.

Her collar was slightly open, revealing her delicate collarbone and a patch of snow-white skin.

Kiyoshi approached from behind, naturally wrapping his arms around her waist and resting his chin on her shoulder.

"looking at what?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki did not answer immediately, but relaxed and leaned into his arms.

From initial unfamiliarity to current familiarity.

Kaguya Otsutsuki is also gradually getting used to Kiyoshi's presence.

"Star."

After a long while, Kaguya Otsutsuki finally spoke softly.

"There are many Otsutsuki in the universe."

Kiyoshi noticed a faint hint of worry in her voice.

He turned his head and gently kissed her earlobe:

"Are you worried that your own kind will come?"

"They will definitely come."

Kaguya Otsutsuki's tone was very certain.

“Some members of the tribe will come to check on the unusual situation here.”

"Don't worry."

Kiyoshi shook his head.

He knew who the person coming was.

It's nothing more than the Otsutsuki Momoshiki, Otsutsuki Kinshiki, and Otsutsuki Urashiki.

Momoshiki Otsutsuki held the highest position, and Kinshiki Otsutsuki was his protector.

Urashiki Ōtsutsuki, on the other hand, possesses eye techniques related to time.

They all possess unique mechanisms.

But Kiyoshi's stats are now maxed out.

That's the charm of numerical monsters.

Even a 1% increase is a significant boost for late-game powerhouses.

Not to mention companies like Kiyoshi, which often see increases of several hundred percentage points.

Kiyoshi then turned Kaguya Otsutsuki around to face him, cupped her face in his hands, and made her look directly into his pure white eyes.

"Kaguya, look at me."

Kaguya Otsutsuki looked at him. In the moonlight, Kiyoshi's face was sharply defined, and he looked calm.

Strength is the reason for peace of mind.

"Do you believe me?" Kiyoshi asked.

Kaguya Otsutsuki did not hesitate at all:
"Believe."

The closer Kaguya Otsutsuki got to Kiyoshi, the more she could feel this immense chakra.

She couldn't understand it at all, since both of them had eaten half a "Chakra Fruit".

Why did the Qing Si increase so much?
Is his absorption efficiency higher?
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki could only think that way.

"That's enough."

Kiyoshi lowered his head, his forehead touching hers.

"It doesn't matter what kind of Otsutsuki it is..."

Kiyoshi chuckled softly.

"This is a good opportunity to study their 'Rinnegan'."

Kiyoshi was very interested in their power.

Moreover, it might trigger new keywords, further enhancing its strength.

This is a perfect example of killing two birds with one stone or making two dishes from one fish.

Kaguya Otsutsuki was stunned.

To use the "Rinnegan" for research?
Even she had never thought of doing something so daring.

Killing one's own kind has always been a major taboo.

Kaguya Otsutsuki would stab Isshiki Otsutsuki in the back in order to save her life and avoid being sacrificed.

You must understand that if anything goes wrong with the "vessel," the Otsutsuki will truly die.

Therefore, those who act as sacrifices to the Otsutsuki also face great risks.

Although Kiyoshi didn't mention that he had an entry panel, Kaguya Otsutsuki could sense that he seemed to be expecting something.

it's wired.

Kaguya Otsutsuki found herself increasingly unable to understand Kiyoshi.

Just then, the bedroom door was gently pushed open a crack, and a small head peeked in.

"Father, Mother..."

It was Otsutsuki Hagoromo. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, holding a rabbit doll in her arms. It was made for her by Kiyoshi using the "Yin-Yang Release Technique," and it was fluffy and very soft.

Kiyoshi walked over and patted her little head, saying:

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Otsutsuki Haguro shook her head, trotted over, first snuggled into Otsutsuki Kaguya's arms, then turned to Kiyoshi, tilting her little face up:

"I heard you talking... Are some bad guys coming?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki gently stroked her daughter's hair.

There are no bad people.

"It's okay if you have it!"

Otsutsuki Hako waved her little fist.

"Father is the strongest! Father will protect us!"

Kiyoshi picked her up:
"Oh? Yu Yu Zi trusts me that much?"

"Ok!"

Otsutsuki Hako nodded vigorously and wrapped her arms around Kiyoshi's neck.

"Father is the most amazing person in the world, even more amazing than the stars!"

Tong Yan Wuji.

Kiyoshi looked at Kaguya Otsutsuki and found that she was also looking at them, a faint smile appearing in her pure white eyes.

That was a genuine, heartfelt smile.

Though subtle, it was breathtakingly beautiful. (End of Chapter)
