Chapter 127 Next Steps, Ninjutsu Given by Orochimaru
Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village), Hokage Building.
Sunlight streamed through the window onto the floor of the Hokage's office. Hiruzen Sarutobi stood by the window, a pipe in his hand.
"Kiyoshi, you did an excellent job on this mission to the Land of Demons."
Hiruzen Sarutobi wore an approving smile.
"Not only did they successfully complete the mission, but the daimyo of the Land of Demons even wrote a letter of thanks back to them."
Hiruzen Sarutobi flicked his cigarette ash. This mission was to protect the shrine maiden, and Kiyoshi's work was an extra achievement.
However, it was done perfectly, demonstrating the wisdom of Konoha ninjas in dealing with emergencies.
In this way, Konoha's reputation will be better, and employers will be more willing to entrust tasks to such villages.
Kiyoshi lowered his head slightly, his tone calm:
"You flatter me, Hokage. This is my duty as a Konoha ninja, and I couldn't have done it without the help of others, such as Lord Minato..."
Kiyoshi did not claim all the credit for himself, but indicated that others had also done a great deal.
"We really went through a lot of trouble this time."
Sarutobi Asuma had a lollipop in his mouth, leaving only a piece of the wooden stick sticking out.
While Kiyoshi was helping the shrine maiden outside, they also dealt with a lot of terracotta warriors, leaving them exhausted and panting.
"Haha, thank you for your hard work, Minato, Yuuki. You should take a break for a while."
Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze quickly and modestly said no.
Minazuki Yuuki had bandages wrapped around his hands, which Kiyoshi had put on him on the way.
However, Kiyoshi did not perform any unnecessary procedures, explaining that the equipment was insufficient to perform delicate surgeries.
His hand injury was left untreated for so long that it has now become infected and a piece of flesh has rotted away. It will sting when the mark is made.
"Yes, Lord Hokage."
Yuuki Minazuki nodded; he indeed couldn't go out to do missions during this period.
Afterwards, Hiruzen Sarutobi had the few people who had rushed back in the dust receive their reward and go back to rest.
He continued smoking his pipe.
His son, Sarutobi Asuma, was also on this mission, and Hiruzen Sarutobi was very pleased that his son had become successful.
But he was more worried about something else.
Recently, there have been more and more frictions. His wife, Sarutobi Biwako, always complains to him that the hospital is short-staffed.
After thinking it over, Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned a group of people to discuss measures to prevent war and how to prepare for war immediately if war broke out.
…………
night.
The Hyuga clan's ancestral home.
After the meeting, Hyuga Hiashi gathered the clan members and stood solemnly in the center of the hall.
"Everyone, the Hokage mentioned at the meeting today that the situation in the ninja world is unstable and war could break out at any time."
Hiashi Hyuga's voice was low and deep. "We must be fully prepared, and at the same time, we must adjust our relationship with other clans, especially the Uchiha clan."
Hiashi Hyuga was in the Hokage Building when he heard Hiruzen Sarutobi say many times that Minato's team and Minazuki's team had perfectly completed their mission in the Land of Demons.
There were also many words of praise for one of the members, Uchiha Kiyoshi.
Recalling Uchiha Kiyoshi's genius performance in the Chunin Exams, Hyuga Hiashi decided to have his clansmen adjust their strategy.
With war looming at any moment, maintaining good relations with the Uchiha clan would be entirely beneficial.
In war, everything is meaningless except for strength.
The Uchiha would obviously be a good teammate, and if war really breaks out, it would be best to help each other.
The crowd in front of Hiashi Hyuga was divided into left and right sides.
The families on the left are the main family, and the families on the right are the branch families.
When Hyuga Ginka, who was located in the main family, heard the clan leader mention the "Uchiha clan," her expression changed slightly, and she felt a little uneasy.
No wonder they couldn't find Uchiha Kiyoshi after the Chunin Exams; he was out on a mission.
Upon hearing that Hyuga Hiashi had drastically changed the previous policies, Hyuga Ginka's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
If Hiashi Hyuga finds out about this, he'll probably get a good scolding.
"Yinhua, what's wrong?"
While Hyuga Hiashi was talking at length, Hyuga Nobuhiko looked at Hyuga Ginka.
He is Hinata Ginka's fiancé.
Normally, members of the main family only marry members of the main family. However, if members of the main family are particularly rare at certain times, they may marry members of branch families to avoid the birth of deformed children due to inbreeding.
"No...it's nothing."
Hinata Ginka's heart tightened, and she quickly shook her head, saying it was nothing.
She secretly glanced at Hinata Natsumi, who was in the branch family.
She noticed that Hinata Natsu was also looking at her.
Because of the evening breeze, Hinata Natsu's long, dark green hair, reaching her chin, obscured her expression. Combined with her slightly drooping head, this made it difficult for Hinata Ginka to see Hinata Natsu's face clearly.
She didn't dwell on it, nor did she roll her eyes at it.
The opinion of one family member who is dividing the family is not important.
Only she and Hyuga Natsu, who serves her, know about this matter at the moment.
With the "Caged Bird Seal" in place, Hyuga Natsu would certainly not dare to gossip.
Otherwise, before he himself is punished, Hinata Natsu will definitely be the first to suffer her revenge.
"As long as we explain things to Uchiha Kiyoshi properly, this matter will be covered up without anyone noticing, just like it never happened."
…………
When Kiyoshi got home, he took a shower and changed his clothes.
The space inside the sealed scroll is very precious, and Kiyoshi only brought one spare set of clothes.
However, the entire round trip took almost half a month, and two sets of clothes were simply not enough to change into.
puff.
After taking a shower, Kiyoshi casually tossed a piece of meat onto a stainless steel plate on the floor.
"Hiss..."
The white snake immediately crawled over and began to swallow the piece of meat left by Qingsi.
Kiyoshi had never kept a spirit beast before; his attitude towards the white snake was the same as that towards a dog.
Raise a white snake the same way you would a dog.
"We need to create chaos in Sunagakure first before we have a suitable reason to get involved with Mikoto."
Kiyoshi dried his black hair with a towel, thinking about his next plan.
The war will continue for several years, with the severity increasing with each passing year.
The initial stages won't be too brutal.
And he is much more composed now than he was a year ago.
Only when Sunagakure is in chaos can he plan for more benefits.
For example, another way to enhance pupil power can also serve to hone one's skills.
But most importantly, the Uchiha clan will also participate in the war.
That way, Mikoto and Fugaku wouldn't have gotten together so early.
He would then have the opportunity to intervene and block Itachi's birth fountain before the two confirmed their feelings for each other.
Just thinking about this made Kiyoshi's pupil power fluctuate slightly.
His path to the Three-Tomoe is in the future.
"Let's go find Orochimaru and get some benefits first."
After a moment's hesitation, Kiyoshi put down the towel, then took out his ninja sword and infused it with fire-style chakra, letting the high temperature bake his hair.
That's right, Konoha doesn't have hair dryers right now, so Kiyoshi has to do it himself.
The entry for "[The Shrine Maiden's Sealing Technique (Green)]" has been unlocked and the progress bar is slowly rising.
Once completed, Kiyoshi can synthesize a blue entry for the Reincarnated Shrine Maiden.
However, the effectiveness is still unknown.
The following day, Kiyoshi went to find Orochimaru.
"Kiyoshi-kun?"
Orochimaru looked at the figure who came in carrying a bag.
Orochimaru sensed Kiyoshi's arrival the moment he stepped into the building.
He also possesses "yang attributes".
"Lord Orochimaru, please forgive my intrusion."
Qing Si smiled faintly.
"Hehe, I'm overjoyed to have such an outstanding talent as Kiyoshi-kun."
Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth.
He was serious about what he said.
If he hadn't been concerned that Yakushi Nono was still in Konoha, he would definitely have accepted Seiji as his apprentice or assistant.
Compared to Mitarashi Anko, Seiji is really much better.
He was hailed by the world for his genius and his intellect that surpassed that of the ignorant...
Kiyoshi has too many similarities to him.
When a person sees a reflection of themselves in a younger person, they often develop a positive impression.
"These are the fruits I brought for Lord Orochimaru."
Kiyoshi didn't react much to Orochimaru calling him Kiyoshi-kun.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that everything is going according to his plan.
He wasn't actually from this world; he was a transmigrator who knew the plot well.
It was just a case of being reborn, and it wasn't until several years later that his innate wisdom was awakened.
Every character has strengths and weaknesses.
No one in the ninja world is perfect; everyone has their own desires, passions, and cravings.
Including Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin.
The pursuit of truth and immortality can be said to have been a constant throughout Orochimaru's life.
Kiyoshi guessed that Orochimaru had already conducted human experiments, but he didn't see any human organs here.
They are all animal organs.
He had the demeanor of an outstanding scientific researcher.
This shows that Orochimaru still has a bottom line and some considerations in his actions at this stage, and at least he won't expose these things casually.
"Hey, why isn't mine here?"
Mitarashi Anko suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stretched out her hand.
"I didn't know you were here."
Kiyoshi shook his head, feeling that Mitarashi Anko was a bit too familiar.
"Well……"
Mitarashi Anko suddenly felt that Kiyoshi's words made a lot of sense.
After thinking for a moment, she handed a paper cup to Kiyoshi, which was still steaming.
"This is red bean soup, would you like some?"
"Need not."
Kiyoshi shook his head in refusal and turned to look at Orochimaru.
"Lord Orochimaru, I came here because I discovered some monsters."
Kiyoshi released the sealing scroll and took out several monster-like bodies of ninjas from the Land of Demons.
He collected several bodies when he left.
"This power..."
Orochimaru's vertical pupils suddenly stared at the corpses of these monsters. He went forward to examine them and found that they were all using a strange chakra.
This kind of material is novel; he has never seen it before.
"Hehe, if there are any more things like this in the future, just give them all to me."
Orochimaru's eyes showed interest.
After listening to Kiyoshi's theory on the continuation of the soul and will, he began to study this area.
This requires a large amount of material; the more samples he has, the sooner he can develop such ninjutsu.
If he had truly mastered that kind of ninjutsu, he would no longer have chosen to be a commoner.
Rather, it refers to ninjas who possess bloodline limits.
This requires studying the adaptation and rejection of different physical bodies to the soul.
"Kiyoshi-kun, you brought me these precious materials, so I think I should give you something in return."
Orochimaru ordered Mitarashi Anko to move all the corpses into another laboratory.
He could tell at a glance that these were the result of human mutation.
However, Mitarashi Anko, who didn't seem very bright, didn't have such insight. The corpses on the ground either had three wolf heads or eight spider legs, and they couldn't be recognized as human at all.
She simply assumed it was a monster from somewhere.
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."
In order to persuade Orochimaru to take her as his disciple, Mitarashi Anko immediately moved the corpses to another laboratory.
"Do you have any Wind Release ninjutsu? Lord Orochimaru, I'd like to learn about that kind of ninjutsu."
Kiyoshi spoke.
The chances of successfully demanding "software modification" from Orochimaru rashly are too small; it's better to take it one step at a time.
First, obtain the Wind Release ninjutsu to fill the vacancy left by Kiyoshi.
His chakra reserves are unusually large, and with the added bonuses of dual bloodline limits and attributes, he can withstand the consumption of the "Orochimaru Substitution Technique," so he can put it aside for the time being.
Wind Release has a higher priority.
After learning this, Kiyoshi can enchant his ninja sword.
"Chakra Flow: Fire Release" is definitely within the category of "fire," and with the addition of Wind Release, Kiyoshi estimates that the flames will grow even more intensely.
Because it can trigger the blue attribute of Chakra Nature Master.
His previous Wind Release techniques could only be used to lift and flow within his body, making it difficult to apply to his opponent.
"What type do you like?"
Orochimaru was not dissatisfied with Kiyoshi's request; on the contrary, he felt that the boy's pursuit of ninjutsu and truth was just like his own.
Back then, he also longed to learn ninjutsu.
"I wonder if there are any ninjutsu techniques that can infuse chakra into ninja tools, preferably those using the 'Wind' Release chakra nature."
Kiyoshi said.
If there is wind, he can interfere with the changes in the flow of chakra.
For example, in battle, if the flames suddenly extend, the enemy can easily be injured if caught off guard.
"Heh heh, I've been looking into wind-style ninjutsu lately too."
Orochimaru spat out a scroll from his mouth.
If Kiyoshi arrives a few days earlier or later, he will need to take Kiyoshi to his own bookshelf to get it.
"You usually use a long sword, right? This ninjutsu will allow you to better control the chakra you channel into the sword."
Kiyoshi took the ninjutsu scroll that Orochimaru had wiped clean.
It is called "Wind Release: Chakra Blade Membrane" and is a C-rank ninjutsu.
Kiyoshi immediately expressed his gratitude.
After working inside for quite some time, Mitarashi Anko finally came out and looked at Kiyoshi and Orochimaru chatting happily, feeling puzzled.
These two always like to talk about strange and unusual things.
She reached out her little hand, picked up the paper cup that Qing Si didn't want, and happily drank the red bean soup.
It would be even more perfect if there were three-colored dumplings.
Mitarashi Anko thought to herself.
Unfortunately, Kiyoshi doesn't know how to appreciate good food.
Not long after exchanging pleasantries, Kiyoshi said goodbye.
Kiyoshi just wanted to get some benefits. Now that he had finished his business, there was no need for him to stay any longer. He still needed to go to Yakushi Nonou's place.
He planned to ask the pharmacist Nono if she had any methods to strengthen summoned beasts, since the white snake was now just an accessory.
After Kiyoshi left, Orochimaru looked at Mitarashi Anko, who had already finished her red bean soup but still seemed to want more.
"I want to take you as my apprentice, Red Bean."
"what!"
Mitarashi Azuko put down the paper cup with delight.
"However, the prerequisite is that you need to get closer to Uchiha Kiyoshi."
"what?"
