Chapter 128 Kiyoshi's Filial Piety

Chapter 128 Kiyoshi's Filial Piety

Konoha Hospital.

Kiyoshi bought another pair of shoes outside the street as a small gift.

He carried these things as he walked through the bustling hospital.

Even without Kiyoshi's presence, war would have broken out within one or two years at the latest.

This is an inviolable historical cyclical pattern in the ninja world.

Naruto and Sasuke are like Hashirama and Madara in their lifetimes; they can be suppressed while they are alive, but war breaks out immediately after they die.

However, Naruto's descendants are also quite powerful. His biological son Boruto is a 99% Otsutsuki, and his other adopted son Kawaki is also an Otsutsuki.

This can extend the buffer period of war.

But ultimately, war will still break out.

The root cause of the First Shinobi World War was the death of Hashirama, who was above everyone else.

The issue of the unequal distribution of resources and land among imperialist powers, as well as among the tailed beasts, has resurfaced, leading to war.

The Second Shinobi World War was caused by the uneven distribution of power among the five great nations, leading to a chaotic war between them.

The upcoming Third Shinobi World War is actually a continuation of the previous war.

Because the problem of uneven distribution of interests among imperialist powers has not been fully resolved, not only that, but also, numerous new small countries have sprung up, occupying geographically uninhabited areas.

Newly formed nations will further shrink the living space of other nations, especially those like the Land of Wind.

The Land of Earth is also full of rocky mountains, which is better than the Land of Wind.

These major powers will have more and more internal contradictions, and will then begin to shift these contradictions to the outside world.

"This way I'll be able to access more keywords, right?"

Kiyoshi secretly said.

Since war is unavoidable, why not actively embrace it?

If there was a term like "battlefield rose" last time, then he'll probably get a similar one.

The Jinchuriki, the tailed beasts protected by the various ninja villages, would also be drawn into the war, giving Kiyoshi an opportunity to make contact.

"After going out for a while, I've grown a bit taller."

Kiyoshi pushed open the door, and there was Pharmacist Nono, who was processing documents.

Her eyes were fixed on Kiyoshi, and she even stood up to compare her height with Kiyoshi's.

"Yes, these are the shoes I bought for you."

Kiyoshi put down a pair of shoes.

Yakushi Nonou smiled, a sense of relief washing over her.

But soon, her expression returned to normal.

"It's best to avoid contact with Orochimaru again."

"I know, Professor Nonou, I was just discussing some scientific research matters with Lord Orochimaru."

Seiji smiled.

His contact with Orochimaru certainly couldn't be kept from Yakushi Nonou.

Just like when he went to the sushi restaurant that Yunyin opened before.

Yunyin simply went to great lengths to make his spy identity appear completely legitimate, so that others couldn't detect it.

The fact that they could abduct the valuable Kushina right under their noses shows that Kumogakure is an expert in this area.

It's important to know that Kushina was chosen as the second-generation Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Without Kushina, Konoha probably wouldn't be able to find a second person who could suppress the Nine-Tails.

To become a Jinchūriki, one must first possess the qualities necessary to become a vessel.

Otherwise, Konoha wouldn't have gone to such lengths to find Kushina from the Land of Whirlpools and bring her back to train her. Wouldn't it have been more loyal to Konoha if they had just found a local?

Seeing Kiyoshi's expression, Yakushi Nonou could only sigh softly.

She could only guarantee that Orochimaru wouldn't get too close to Kiyoshi while she was still in Konoha.

After she left, there was nothing more to do.

"Let's continue with our previous studies and memorize all this knowledge."

Yakushi Nono turned around.

"Let's check if the shoes fit first."

Kiyoshi said.

Ninjas all wear ninja shoes, but they can be very cold in the winter.

The weather has been a bit cold recently, so it’s better to wear something thicker.

Yakushi Nonou initially wanted to refuse, but then she thought of Kiyoshi's filial piety and nodded.

During her career as a spy, she never had the experience of being a mentor to anyone.

This is my first time being someone's mentor, so I don't have much experience.

So Yakushi Nonou slowly bent down and took off her shoes.

Bare feet, white, smooth, and flawless.

Yakushi Nono wasn't particularly tall, but her toes were long and shapely, with a few blue veins showing through her fair and rosy insteps, making her feet appear even more slender and beautiful.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Yakushi Nono raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with people scrutinizing her feet.

When others see her, most of them quickly lower their heads and act timidly.

Danzo Shimura was essentially the second-in-command of Konoha. He also wanted to infiltrate Konoha Hospital to get a share of the profits. As a result, Nono Yakushi received the green light all the way in Konoha Hospital and had a lot of power.

Qing Si immediately said sternly:

"Let me see if Nono-sensei's shoes fit."

"...It suits you quite well."

Perhaps because Yakushi Nonou had never felt this way before, she nodded, her voice softening slightly.

Unlike others, Kiyoshi is her disciple, and Yakushi Nonou always feels like she's taking care of a child.

Although the two had never formally become disciples, she still recognized Si as her disciple.

The fact that her disciple was so concerned about her made her feel a little different.

Children are indeed the most innocent and pure.

His act of gratitude further solidified Yakushi Nonou's determination to open an orphanage.

As her first disciple, Kiyoshi is destined to have a more special status than the orphanage children she will adopt in the future.

"As long as it's suitable."

Kiyoshi nodded.

With his Sharingan, he can measure other people's size at will.

Yakushi Nonou got up and took a few steps, her feet treading on the shoes Kiyoshi had given her.

To be honest, this was the first time she had ever received such a gift.

"Thank you, Kiyoshi."

A holy smile appeared on Yakushi Nonou's face.

…………

It's a bit chilly today; my breath turns white when I talk.

Kushina breathed on her small hands to warm them, then looked at Mikoto sitting opposite her.

"Mikoto, you're not really going to retire, are you?"

Mikoto, who was in a small shop, turned her gaze away from the various pedestrians walking outside the street.

"The current period is a bit sensitive; I might retire once things stabilize."

"Oh, so early."

Kushina's eyes were fixed on Mikoto.

Mikoto was dressed in a smart ninja outfit, her green ninja vest bulging out from the curve of her heart.

Although she is a ninja, Mikoto is more voluptuous than the average ninja.

She's not fat, but rather plump.

Such people are easily recognizable when wearing conservative clothes, but once they wear clothes that accentuate their figure, they can give people an inexplicable sense of amazement.

Especially when paired with Mikoto's gentle and beautiful face.

"If we're talking about early, wasn't Kushina even earlier?"

Mikoto chuckled softly.

Kushina used to be active in the ninja industry, but later, for some unknown reason, she retired from the ninja industry and became an ordinary person.

It is said that the legacy left by Mito Uzumaki was enough for Kushina to live an ordinary life.

Simply put, they have no worries about food and drink.

"this……"

Kushina is a carefree woman who hates lying.

However, the Nine-Tails' affairs were too complicated, and the Konoha leadership repeatedly asked her not to disclose anything.

So Kushina changed the subject, glanced at the shop which wasn't very crowded, and moved closer to Mikoto.

He whispered some intimate secrets to Mikoto.

"How are things between you and Fugaku?"

"good."

"Have you... kissed?"

Kushina's face turned bright red.

"Of course not, what kind of person do you take me for?"

Mikoto shook her head, looked at the embarrassed Kushina, and asked with a smile:

"So, how are things between you and Minato? Why aren't you two inseparable lately?"

"...Minato always ignores me."

Kushina lowered her head.

She also knew that Minato was busy and tired.

But sometimes all she wants is an attitude.

Like Kiyoshi, who even thoughtfully helped her get things for watching movies.

More than two weeks ago, he said he had to go on a mission. In the evening, he copied a few extra videotapes to her, saying that if he was away for a long time, he would be unable to come back to change the video sources and would make her bored.

If only Minato could be as detail-oriented as Kiyoshi.

Kushina sighed softly.

"Minato worked very hard to become Hokage."

"……Yeah."

Mikoto's eyes flickered slightly.

Come to think of it, Fugaku's wish was to become Hokage.

However, the Uchiha clan has never produced a Hokage since the founding of Konoha.

"So, what about you and...Minato?"

Thinking about the village's relationship with the Uchiha clan, Mikoto changed the subject and secretly leaned closer to Kushina to ask her a question.

She and Kushina were very close friends, and they were both at the age where they should be getting married, which is perfectly normal.

"No."

Kushina shook her head.

She was just being curious.

Kissing is too early for her, and Minato Namikaze is a kind man who would never make a move.

"By the way, Mikoto, has Kiyoshi returned yet?"

Kushina asked.
