Naruto entry.

Autumn of Konoha 44.

Uchiha settlement, above the Naka Shrine.

The rain was continuous, the fine drizzle pattering against the wall carved with flame fans on one side of the street, creating a barely visible layer of water stains.

Last month, a major event occurred in the Uchiha clan.

That is, during the mission, they found the Uchiha who were not born in Konoha!

As the saying goes, if you find one cockroach, you know there's a whole nest of them hiding behind it.

No one knows whether there are any Uchiha bloodlines like Kiyoshi still circulating in the ninja world.

To prevent the Uchiha bloodline from being lost and to avoid the covetousness of other ninja clans, Kiyoshi's Uchiha clan members were discovered, and he was immediately brought back.

"But why is it that he only has one Sharingan activated?"

"Yes, are there other people in the tribe in the same situation?"

The Uchiha clan members were abuzz with discussion; such a situation had never occurred before, and the resulting sensation was unimaginable.

Every now and then, glances were cast toward Kiyoshi, who was sitting at the very back.

Kiyoshi ignored these gazes.

"Did you encounter anyone with red eyes like yours in the Land of Lightning? We are of the same race. Tell me, and I will order my people to bring them back."

Fugaku, located at the very top, probed Kiyoshi.

It's difficult to ascertain exactly how many years Uchiha Kiyoshi lived in the Land of Lightning, and what exactly happened during those years.

After this month's investigation, the only thing confirmed is that Kiyoshi's identity is innocent.

He had learned some rudimentary chakra refining techniques, but there were no signs of training on his body.

However, the power struggles between ninja villages have always been brutal.

The newly appointed clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku, had no choice but to be cautious.

"I have never seen anyone with eyes like mine, Lord Fugaku."

Kiyoshi raised his head, his tone calm.

He is a time traveler, and has been for over ten years.

From the moment of birth, the mystery of the womb was solved, innate wisdom was awakened, and memories of past lives were gained.

His mother died after giving birth to him.

As for his father... he has never been seen since his birth.

When Kiyoshi was two years old and able to stand on his own, he finally met his father.

Unfortunately, he died on the battlefield not long after.

It's nothing; losing both parents is just a normal start in the ninja world.

Naruto, Sasuke, Konan, Itachi, Orochimaru, etc., which one of them did not lose both parents?

His previous name was Yotsuki Seiji. He was a distant relative of the Yotsuki clan who had been scattered elsewhere and lived in a remote town.

He awakened his Sharingan when he was a teenager, and happened to meet Uchiha Yakumi, who was on a mission, and was sent to Konoha.

"That's good. No matter what, as long as you have Uchiha blood flowing in your veins, you belong to the Uchiha clan. I will arrange for someone to send you to the Ninja Academy."

Fugaku stared at Kiyoshi for a long time with his scarlet eyes.

The Uchiha clan's historical records mention that the Uchiha visited the Land of Lightning, and it's even quite possible that the Uchiha lived there.

It is said that this happened even before the time when Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were engaged in a fierce battle.

In the present-day Land of Lightning, there once was a lord's wife who hired the Uchiha clan to expel the Blood Pond clan.

However, due to the later battles with the Senju clan, much of the information was lost in history.

Even Fugaku could no longer know the specifics.

He didn't unleash his pupil power; he simply stared.

The air seemed to be shrouded in a thick, sticky atmosphere, making it hard to breathe.

Qing Si remained completely calm and composed.

He knew what Fugaku was thinking.

It's simply a matter of whether one's identity has a legitimate origin.

Unfortunately, the Uchiha clan and the Land of Lightning did indeed have a history.

This event is also recorded in the official novel, "Sasuke's True Story - The Light Chapter".

Finally, Fugaku looked away.

In the end, he wasn't even a ninja.

How could one possibly maintain their individuality when faced with the pressure of their own Sharingan?

If that's the case, wouldn't it be too terrifying?

Even the recently rising star son of Hatake Sakumo doesn't necessarily have such mental fortitude.

"Lord Fugaku, I'm so happy to have been discovered to be a member of the Uchiha clan! I will definitely not let the Uchiha clan's name be forgotten!"

Kiyoshi's tone seemed very sincere.

At this moment, a mechanical female voice rang out, devoid of any emotion.

"You have grasped the term: 【The Art of Speaking (White)】."

[Entry: The Art of Speaking (White)]

[Requirement: To utter falsehoods without flinching in the presence of someone of high status, the number of times required is 5.]

Progress: (Completed)

[Effect: Your words will be more convincing, and those of lower status are more easily influenced by this.]

[Note: Further advanced levels are available.]

"It's finally done."

A faint smile appeared on Qingsi's lips.

If you don't want to be a beggar in the ninja world, you need to have strength.

As is well known, in the Naruto world, formidable strength is only transmitted through mother-to-child transmission, mentorship, and blood.

Either you have good bloodline or you have a good teacher, and inherit the teacher's network of contacts.

If all else fails, then it will require a more intimate connection, much like the transmission of blood. Your "Will of Fire" must be deep enough to learn even one or two ninjutsu techniques.

Kiyoshi, however, possesses something that transcends these three: he relies on his own efforts.

And a rudimentary glossary system.

The system will record the names of the entries that Qing Si obtains, the conditions for achieving them, and their effects, etc.

However, these are not free gifts; Qing Si must fulfill certain conditions.

Just like this "art of speaking," Kiyoshi said things against his conscience at least five times in front of Fugaku Uchiha.

Is it fun to be born into the Uchiha clan?

Can you cheer up?

Kiyoshi felt immense pressure.

The night of the massacre, followed by the two Shinobi World Wars...

My life has already started its countdown, okay?

Not to mention anything far in the future, in just over ten years, your good son, Uchiha Itachi, will wipe out your entire clan!

"good."

Fugaku nodded, feeling much better after hearing Kiyoshi's sincere words; this was a promising talent.

This authentic statement allows one to feel the emotions hidden within the words.

Kiyoshi's awareness is even higher than that of some ordinary Uchiha clansmen.

He then gestured for Kiyoshi to go out first.

After Kiyoshi left, Uchiha Yatsuho looked at Uchiha Fugaku, who stood before him with an expressionless yet imposing presence, and said:

"Kiyoshi is a descendant that Yakumi and the others found in the Land of Lightning. It's said that he also has characteristics of the Yoruzuki clan. Could he be a spy planted here?"

"This still needs further investigation, but his bloodline must be that of my Uchiha clan. Outsiders cannot shut down the Sharingan after transplantation, which would place a huge burden on the person."

Fugaku Uchiha shook his head and continued, "Tsunade will come to check on Kiyoshi's Sharingan later."

"Fugaku, I'll go and make arrangements for this child."

Mikoto got up on the tatami mat at Nanga Shrine.
