Sarutobi Biwako's tone was more severe than ever before.

"Your childbirth is confidential and must be kept secret. You need to know that you are not just carrying out your own responsibilities."

Sarutobi Biwako said seriously.

"Sorry……"

Kushina lowered her head, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her clothes.

Seeing her like this, Sarutobi Biwako softened her tone slightly:

"Also, although the location is far from the village, it is still a classified mission. Even if the pain is intense, you can't shout too loudly."

"Okay... okay."

Kushina responded softly, but her heart couldn't help but tighten.

To be honest, she did have a great deal of fear about the pain of childbirth.

……

Meanwhile, Kiyoshi and his group had already entered Iwagakure Village.

Inside Iwagakure, there is a special arena where Chunin are tested.

As one of the Five Great Nations, Iwagakure naturally has a complete system for training ninjas.

Like Konoha, they have their own designated area.

However, since most of the Land of Earth consists of desolate rocky cliffs, the styles are mostly the same, lacking the diversity of Konoha.

"Lord Hokage, when we make our move, I may not be able to control the force I use."

Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki nicknamed "Steam Ninja," looked at Kiyoshi.

He wore a red conical hat, red armor, and even a red mask covering his face.

This is a steam armor specially made by Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki. Utilizing the special structure of this armor, it can use steam to generate powerful force with maximum efficiency.

Throughout the entire Hidden Stone Village, few could rival his strength.

"It's alright, I'm also very good at physical strength."

Kiyoshi said slowly.

Upon arriving at Iwagakure, he made his request to the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki.

Onoki heard that Kiyoshi had defeated the tailed beasts of the major ninja villages and guessed that he might be a fan of fighting or perhaps he was using this to perfect some kind of technique.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ōnoki did not refuse Kiyoshi.

As long as Han and Gobuchi don't get into any trouble, a few sparring matches are fine.

The ambitious Onoki also took the opportunity to propose many deals with Konoha. Kiyoshi chose to sign contracts with all the requests that were within reasonable limits.

So Iwagakure happily found Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, and had him fight Kiyoshi.

"Then I'll have to offend you."

Han said.

His strength is among the best in the ninja world, and he has heard of Uchiha Kiyoshi's ninjutsu "Monstrous Strength" against Tsunade.

He was curious how this compared to his own "Boiling Release: Unparalleled Strength".

He can raise his chakra to boiling point in one go, causing his entire body's power to surge in an instant, ultimately exploding at a single point.

The power generated in this way will far exceed the limits of physical strength under normal circumstances.

To do this, one must master the "Boiling" technique; otherwise, there is no way to raise chakra to its boiling point.

"drink!"

Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, let out a low roar and charged toward Kiyoshi like a crimson meteor.

Buzz!

The steam-powered armor roared and emitted strange noises as it accelerated.

The billowing molten steam traced distorted paths through the air, like a steam train hurtling forward at full speed. His speed increased with each sprint, and the ground beneath his feet melted into glass-like crystals due to the intense heat.

"interesting."

Kiyoshi's lips curled slightly.

Han was indeed a unique ninja. Few ninjas would develop ninja tools that matched their own ninjutsu, but Han combined his bloodline limit with ninja tool development to create a unique steam armor.

Mei Terumi also possesses the "Boiling" kekkei genkai, but her development path is completely different from Mei's.

Han valued the explosive power and kinetic energy contained in steam, while Terumi Mei valued the corrosive power of "boiling".

Unfortunately, in the Sharingan's field of vision, this speed was still as slow as a fully loaded camera lens.

boom--!

Han's kick slammed into Kiyoshi's raised arm, and the resulting shockwave exploded outwards in a ring shape, instantly turning the rubble into dust in mid-air.

Han used the momentum to flip himself onto the ground, the exhaust vents of his steam armor hissing.

"Is this what they call 'superhuman strength'?"

Han was secretly alarmed.

The force of the recoil made his entire leg bone hum, and bruises appeared on the skin inside the armor.

He thought to himself that it was indeed well-deserved of its reputation.

The force of the recoil made him feel pain.

Bang bang bang!

The next dozens of engagements were so fast that they were just afterimages.

Han pushed the steam pressure to its limit, each punch carrying explosive power, yet it was always nimbly intercepted just before it hit.

Kiyoshi's movements were fluid and graceful, as if he had already anticipated all of Kiyoshi's attack routes.

In order to make the most efficient use of steam, the Han dynasty employed physical combat techniques.

After fighting for a while, Han felt the strain.

Uchiha Kiyoshi in front of him was like a tireless monster; as soon as one move ended, a new one would appear.

"Seventh... Gate of Shock".

Pale blue steam rose from Kiyoshi's body.

boom!

The gust of wind created by the burst of chakra nearly knocked Han's straw hat off.

"The Eight Gates Formation?"

Han looked at Qing Si, who stood calmly in the middle, and felt puzzled.

Isn't it rumored that the "Eight Gates Formation" puts a tremendous strain on the human body?

Why does Uchiha Kiyoshi look so calm?

"The burden of the seventh gate is too small for me."

Kiyoshi shook hands.

Even without using the "Dark Chakra" technique he obtained from Shennong, his powerful physique alone could easily withstand the load of the "Eight Gates Formation".

Even the final "dead end" is one that Kiyoshi can try.

However, he did not want to risk his life to conduct experiments until he was completely certain of his success.

Shennong only claimed to be able to open all eight gates without side effects, but his eight gates were a stripped-down version.

Whoosh!

Kiyoshi's speed was like a gust of wind, disappearing from the spot.

By the time Han realized what was happening, Qing Si was already behind him.

"It's not space-time ninjutsu, it's the speed of body movement!"

Han's pupils contracted; he hadn't expected the seventh gate to provide such a significant boost to Qing Si.

Pfft!

Han was kicked away by Qing Si, creating a deep crater in the ground.

"Father, the Hokage of Konoha is so strong."

A little girl with short black hair, black eyes, and delicate features spoke.

"Kurotsuchi was one of the greatest contributors to quelling the Third Shinobi World War."

Huang Tu spoke to his daughter.

Kiyoshi is very strong.

The loess clearly understands this.

His strength is also astonishing; he can do all sorts of incredible things using Earth Release ninjutsu.

Examples include "Earth Release: Mountain Earth Technique," which can shake mountains, and "Earth Release: Fist Rock," which can send an enemy flying with a single punch.

He had often fought against Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, and was very familiar with his abilities.

However, he couldn't handle Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, with the same ease as Kiyoshi.

"Hmph, what's so interesting about these? They're not as good as my art."

Deidara crossed his arms, showing no interest in the battle below.

He was thinking that with so many people here, they should be looking at his art!

A bunch of mediocre people!

"That's enough, Deidara."

Huang Tu glanced at Deidara.

This guy is so young, yet he's always causing trouble in the village.

Under the guise of art, they wantonly cause trouble for others.

"Brother Deidara, have you created any new artworks this time?"

"Hmph, of course."

Deidara was initially somewhat dissatisfied with what Yellow Earth said, but upon hearing Black Earth's interested remarks, he immediately took out his new work and began to ramble on about it.

The battle below has reached a critical moment.

Han's physical strength was inferior to Kiyoshi's, so he used "Half-Tailed Beast Transformation" much earlier.

The crimson tailed beast chakra clung to his body like flowing liquid, enhancing Han's chakra and strength in every way.

"His recovery speed is too fast."

The more the Han fought, the more alarmed they became.

After the entire battle, Uchiha Kiyoshi's only damage was to his clothes.

The rest of his body was completely unharmed.

The reason for this is that Uchiha Kiyoshi's recovery ability is healing his injuries at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But he began to become covered in wounds, and blood soaked the inside of his steam armor.

"Boiling Escape·Unparalleled Strange Power!"

Han seized an opportunity and raised his strength to its limit.

"Is this the operating route?"

Kiyoshi's eyes flashed with the red light of his Sharingan as he continuously observed the flow of chakra within Han's body.

Kiyoshi has not yet developed a bloodline limit like "Boiling" Release.

But given enough time, Kiyoshi is not worried that he will not be able to develop the "Boiling" technique.

Kiyoshi was able to fight Han for so long because he wanted to figure out as many ninjutsu techniques as possible.
