"Then let's go out first."
Kiyoshi turned around and stepped across the broken door frame to the light yellow grass outside.
Karin Uzumaki followed Kiyoshi somewhat cautiously.
"Hey, what to do with these people?"
Yuri Ringo pointed at the three Kusagakure ninjas who were immobilized by Kiyoshi using "Sharingan·Illusion".
"You know."
Kiyoshi didn't say much.
Look out over the dense forests and rolling mountains.
Land of Grass is an important combat area in this war, responsible for the battlefield hosting Earth Country and Land of Fire.
Although it is a small country, its strength is not weak.
Among the small countries, it is also relatively close to the big countries.
Even Kusagakure of Land of Grass has his own diplomatic business.
As a middleman, they established a prison on the island near Kusagakure to hold criminal ninjas.
It can be regarded as an international prison, which will hold prisoners from various countries.
The small island is surrounded by the sea and is located in the sea to the north of Land of Waterfalls. The island is named "Hozuki Castle" because it is covered with a kind of sour berry called "Ghost Lantern".
The lord of the city has been held by the clan that can control the "Tianlao" in the past dynasties.
If "Fire Release·Tianlao" is planted, even the amount of Chakra of Naruto will be suppressed to the point where only one Shadow Clone can be used.
"Let's set it near the border between Land of Grass and Land of Waterfalls."
Kiyoshi determines the location of the experimental base.
Regarding the location of "Hozuki Castle", Kiyoshi will have to visit it sooner or later.
"Naruto: Blood Prison" and the subsequent "Boruto" continue this setting.
"Hozuki Castle" hides Land of Grass's greatest ambition. Legend has it that in the Sage of Six Paths era, that is, thousands of years ago, there was a "Box of Paradise" who could fulfill the wish of the person who opened it.
Kusagakure once opened it, and it is said that he was just a short distance away from taking over the world with it.
Later, suddenly one day Kusagakure lost.
Since then, two opposing forces have been born in Kusagakure. One is the main war faction "Grass Seed" who wants to revive Kusagakure, and the other is the anti-war faction "Grass Flower".
The reason why Land of Grass is so enthusiastic about building international prisons for various countries is, firstly, to hide "Box of Paradise", and secondly, to use the prisoners' Chakra to study ways to open "Box of Paradise" again.
Of course, this thing actually only absorbs the person who opens it and turns it into the monster "Satoru".
Even so, it is also something worth studying. After all, it has achieved a transformation in life form, turning a ninja with ordinary combat power into a monster that can beat Sage Naruto.
And Land of Grass also has "Dragon Life Clan", which has a kind of Kekkei Genkai named "Dragon Life Reincarnation", which can share its vitality with others.
This is also a great ability.
After Sage Naruto was killed in the theatrical version of "Naruto: Blood Prison", Ryuzetsu used this move to resurrect Naruto.
"Humph, you really can summon people."
Yuri Ringo came out of the conical house muttering.
Three lives passed quietly inside.
Karin Uzumaki, who has excellent perceptual abilities, sensed this change immediately and lowered his head silently without saying anything.
When these Grass Ninja go back, they will not only bring trouble to her, but also to Kiyoshi.
"Okay, let's go to another place."
Through the position of the sun in the sky, Kiyoshi determined the direction. He held Karin Uzumaki with his left hand and Yuri Ringo with his right hand.
Before the two women could react, Kiyoshi soared into the sky.
Lightning flashed all over his body and he flew towards the distant sky.
Listening to the whistling in his ears, Karin Uzumaki jumped into Kiyoshi's arms in shock.
The distance down here must be several hundred meters.
Karin Uzumaki didn't dare to open his eyes and could only listen to the wind.
"He... must be a very powerful ninja."
Karin Uzumaki secretly said.
I once heard my parents say that no matter Uzushio Village or Konoha, there are not many ninjas who can fly.
If you want to fly, you either need to rely on the unique Kekkei Genkai, or your Chakra power and Chakra control skills are different from ordinary people.
Probably the most difficult technique besides Space-Time Ninjutsu.
Compared to Karin Uzumaki who was secretly frightened, Yuri Ringo seemed much calmer.
She had seen Kiyoshi take out something as weird as "Moryo Power", and she already knew that Kiyoshi was a ninja who didn't play by the rules.
"After you Chakra are exhausted, we won't fall to death."
Yuri Ringo is not afraid of death, but he also doesn't want to die so inexplicably.
"Of course not."
Kiyoshi smiled slightly.
White Snake in the cuff deftly held several Soldier Pills and put them into Kiyoshi's mouth.
The corners of Yuri Ringo's mouth twitched slightly at this sight. Is this guy really not afraid of Soldier Pills being overloaded and being stretched to death?
In the evening, Kiyoshi identified a secret location.
He clapped his hands on the ground.
A hole was dug into the rock.
Rumble...
The entrance to the cave is deep and it is still expanding inside.
This is the advantage of Earth Release Ninjutsu. It builds a base very quickly and is as good as Wood Release in ninjutsu.
Other "wind" escape, "fire" escape, "thunder" escape, "water" escape, etc. are not as convenient as "earth" escape.
Ninjutsu changes lives.
Kiyoshi realizes this again.
Kiyoshi first expanded a space of fifty square meters as a temporary base.
When I was on the road using Lightning Release and Wind Release Ninjutsu, I consumed a lot of Chakra.
Only part of Soldier Pills is left, and he still has to leave Chakra who cast "Flying Thunder God Technique" to return to Land of Fire.
Spanning two countries, the Chakra consumed will be an astronomical figure.
There are pros and cons. Using "Flying Thunder God Technique" at such high intensity will increase Kiyoshi's understanding of this ninjutsu.
Optimize the defects as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of Chakra.
"These marching supplies are for you."
Kiyoshi took out a Sealing Scroll and handed it to Karin Uzumaki.
Inside is a week's worth of dry food, simple tents, sleeping bags, kettles, iron pots and other basic supplies.
"...Thank you."
Karin Uzumaki said politely.
The haggard look on her pretty face became less haggard, and the short red hair down to her chin swayed slightly as she nodded.
Her temperament is better than Karin, perhaps because she has seen the world, unlike Karin, who has been treated as a mobile blood bag since she was a child.
The only flaw is that Karin Uzumaki is a little thinner.
Probably because of the long-term hiding and fear.
"Yuri Ringo, as Seven Ninja Swordsmen, you should have your own independent time."
Kiyoshi turned to look at Yuri Ringo, who was looking at the earthen wall.
"You still have this right."
Yuri Ringo nodded.
Otherwise, how could Seven Ninja Swordsmen be so crowded and still want to join?
Hidden Mist Anbu even has to obey the orders of Seven Ninja Swordsmen in many situations, and is only one step away from the top of Hidden Mist.
It is a symbol of power and glory.
"Then you stay here for a while."
Having said that, Kiyoshi hurriedly finished the explanation and used "Flying Thunder God Technique" to leave here.
"Hey!"
Yuri Ringo still wanted to call Kiyoshi, but Kiyoshi had disappeared.
"This guy completely treats me as a handyman."
Yuri Ringo puffed up his cheeks angrily.
"He... seems to be gone."
Karin Uzumaki looked carefully at Yuri Ringo, who was not easy to get along with.
"Didn't I know he was gone?"
Yuri Ringo said pretending to be vicious.
Karin Uzumaki looked at her rows of shark-like teeth and was frightened.
Although she is Uzumaki Clan, unfortunately she has not received any serious ninja education.
A person's strength is at most Chunin.
This is despite the case of "Adamantine Sealing Chains", which is the only offensive type Fuinjutsu she knows.
The other Fuinjutsu are too useless.
Otherwise she wouldn't have been controlled by others for so long.
Land of Grass, who left the war-torn country long ago, went to Land of Iron, where there are no ninjas, only samurai.
"Hurry up and make the bed, I'm going to sleep later."
Yuri Ringo threw an oil paper bag from the bag to Karin Uzumaki.
There was a faint smell of meat inside.
Karin Uzumaki was slightly startled. This food is much easier to stomach than the dry food given by Kiyoshi.
She is not picky about food, but she can eat good food, so why not eat good food.
This changed Karin Uzumaki's impression of Yuri Ringo, thinking that she was a hard-spoken and soft-hearted person.
"That Uchiha...Kiyoshi should be such a person."
Karin Uzumaki thought so.
Kiyoshi said he wanted to conduct research on her, but the result was a hands-off attitude.
This place is said to be an experimental base, but rather a safe place to shelter her.
"How long did it take for him...Kiyoshi to come back?"
"The devil knows."
Yuri Ringo shook his head.
Next time you see Kiyoshi, be sure to extort some benefits from him.
After Battle of Kannabi Bridge, Iwagakure logistics was greatly affected.
The territories of Earth Country and Land of Fire are not bordering each other. If Earth Country wants to send troops to Konoha, the optimal solution is to take the path of Land of Grass.
After the key node Kannabi Bridge was destroyed by Konoha, Stone Ninja on the front line could not receive timely logistical supplements, and the situation suddenly reversed.
Jiraiya, who was guarding other fronts, led the ninjas to deal with Earth Country.
Hyuga Clan and other ninjas with strong detection capabilities went south to be wary of Land of Water.
Land of Water and Land of Fire are only separated by a piece of offshore sea, and the isolated island sandwiched between them, that is, Whirlpool Country, has long been destroyed.
There were even Land of Water ninjas who occupied the isolated island and used it as a transit point to send troops to the mainland in a steady stream.
After Kannabi Bridge, Konoha got a chance to breathe.
There are signs of improvement in all major defense lines.
The war has a tendency to ease.
After Kiyoshi went back, Kakashi was already lying in Konoha Hospital.
All members of Team Minato and Team Mikoto received the title of hero.
Even Uchiha, who wanted to hide his achievements from Konoha High Command, got the so-called honor.
Konoha High Command also conveyed this dedication and deeds of not being afraid of difficult tasks to the students of the Ninja Academy.
Ninja Academy.
"On the day of Kannabi Bridge, Konoha gave birth to three heroes with Sharingan. One of them engraved his name on Memorial Stone, and the remaining two continued to contribute to the village."
Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking to the students below.
The students listened with excitement and felt that "Will of Fire" was burning.
Kiyoshi listened calmly from behind.
Returning to Konoha requires handing over tasks, including records of his actions in Land of Grass.
He had already prepared these disguises.
Kiyoshi, who couldn't find anyone at Hokage's Office Building, was reminded by Anbu's colleagues and arrived at the Ninja Academy where the graduation ceremony was being held.
"Look, this is Kiyoshi, one of the heroes."
Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly pointed to the rear, in the direction of Kiyoshi.
Kiyoshi's calm face turned into a gentle smile.
"These are what we should do, Hokage-sama. We are all the successors of "Will of Fire". Wherever Konoha flies, the fire also Unceasing Vitality."
Kiyoshi said Hiruzen Sarutobi's favorite saying.
Sure enough, Hiruzen Sarutobi had a smile on his face after hearing this.
Behind him, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, who were also holding graduation ceremonies for the new generation, also had faint smiles on their faces.
Kiyoshi The only one I didn't see was Shimura Danzō.
This old guy still doesn't know which dark corner he is hiding in.
"Is that senior Kiyoshi?"
Uzuki Yugao underneath stood on tiptoes, looked at the figure in the distance, and spoke to Gekko Hayate.
"Ahem... that's senior Kiyoshi."
Gekko Hayate coughed twice.
He always remembers the big brother Kiyoshi.
At first Kiyoshi saw that he was not in good health, so he used Medical Arts to temporarily help him relax.
Gekko Hayate has always believed in his heart that this is a good person.
His childhood sweetheart Uzuki Yugao also had the same idea as him.
"It's amazing."
Gekko Hayate sighed.
"Hmph, I, Anko, will be praised like this one day."
Mitaraishi Anko hummed.
Her master can be one of Legendary Sannin, Daimyo Ding Ding's Orochimaru!
Such a strong teaching staff will definitely not be weaker than Kiyoshi in the future.
Recently, teacher Orochimaru keeps talking about the power of Cursed Seal, saying that he will arrange a set for her if there is a chance.
Mitaraishi Anko felt a little inferior when he saw that Kiyoshi had always been valued by Orochimaru.
Now I realize that I will soon have more powerful power, and I can't wait to show it off to Kiyoshi.
"Yotsuki Kiyoshi..."
In another corner of the graduation ceremony, Atsui looked at Kiyoshi who was speaking above.
Momo clenched his fists.
Third Raikage fought ten thousand Stone Ninja and died in the end.
Kiyoshi also passed on this information.
As a result, many deployment plans of Kumogakure were interfered with by Konoha, which caught them off guard.
But... the newly appointed Fourth Raikage Ai still asked them to win over Yotsuki Kiyoshi.
As he got older, Atsui found that he had spent several years in Konoha's spy career without knowing it.
I understand more and more.
He always feels that every time his sister Samui goes to Kiyoshi, she will be taken advantage of.
But this is just speculation after all, without stone hammer.
After the graduation ceremony, Hiruzen Sarutobi called Kiyoshi.
"The future of the village depends on you young people."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was smoking a pipe and patted Kiyoshi on the shoulder. There was a smell of smoke coming from his body.
"Hokage-sama's sword is still young, we will have to rely on Hokage-sama in the future."
Kiyoshi said modestly.
Hiruzen Sarutobi is really strong now.
In the future, Orochimaru, who is more experienced, will conduct "Konoha Crush Plan". During the battle with Hiruzen Sarutobi, he personally said that Hiruzen Sarutobi is too old. If he were ten years younger, he would die there.
It's still a long time from the original timeline.
This means that Hiruzen Sarutobi is in the prime of his life and is still proficient in Five Basic Nature Transformations!
But Kiyoshi is not interested in the pie drawn by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The so-called glory is nothing more than a value tool used by superiors to mobilize the enthusiasm of subordinates.
This is the core of "Will of Fire".
The more sacrifice is required, the more this will be preached.
"Haha, old, old."
Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke and started talking to Kiyoshi.
It is said that Obito is dead, but the living people have to look forward and don't let Obito die in vain.
"By the way, that kid Kakashi wants to join Anbu. You are already a member of Anbu, so go and take Kakashi to complete the process."
Hiruzen Sarutobi brought this up.
"Okay."
Kiyoshi nodded.
Kakashi is still in the hospital, he just has to go there.
This is about him opening Three Tomoe Sharingan.
That is the end of Kannabi Bridge.
How much will Rin Nohara pay for Kakashi's Sharingan?
You know, with his presence this time, Uchiha Clan's reputation as a genius is even greater.
The hearts of many tribesmen have been expanded to varying degrees, thinking that Uchiha will continue to produce countless geniuses and move towards the glory that belongs to Uchiha.
Then people are bound to inquire about the existence of this Sharingan.
"Farewell, Hokage-sama."
Kiyoshi's figure disappeared.
Use "Flying Thunder God Technique" to disappear.
"Like Minato, have you mastered this technique well?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi is smoking.
"Pay attention to the recent movements of Uchiha."
Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke to the empty corridor.
Kakashi Sharingan's question is very sensitive and needs to be treated with caution.
Kakashi is Son of the White Fang, and we can no longer chill the hearts of other ninjas.
Similarly, it is also necessary to maintain a balance with Uchiha.
In today's moment when the war situation is slowing down, anything can affect the whole body and cause the whole game to be lost.
Until now, no big country dares to say that it is not in danger of annihilation.
The level of tragedy this time far exceeded the last two Shinobi World wars!
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
In the shadow of the corner, Anbu's reply sounded faintly.
Konoha Hospital.
"Kakashi."
Kiyoshi knocked on the door of the ward and came in from the outside.
Kakashi was half sitting on the bed, covered with a quilt and wearing a blue and white hospital gown.
The left eye was wrapped in a white bandage like Shimura Danzō, and the only remaining right eye was looking out the window.
Eye transplant surgery is actually a very difficult operation that must solve problems such as immune rejection and severed tissue regeneration.
Moreover, the optic nerve is a nerve bundle that extends directly from the brain, with a diameter of about one millimeter. It needs to be accurately connected to more than one million nerve fibers, as well as the meridian system in the eyeball.
There is no Rin Nohara like Sharingan. Even with a nearly universal healing technique like Medical Arts, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no sequelae.
What's more, it's still in the wild, facing the enemy's attack at any time, and the surgery is performed in a hurry, so Kakashi still needs to be hospitalized for observation.
"Kiyoshi."
The look of decadence on Kakashi became more intense, and his eyes looked lifeless and a bit haggard.
"How is your health?"
Kiyoshi put down the gift he brought.
"It's okay."
Kakashi nodded.
"You will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. I will take you through the process of joining Anbu."
Kiyoshi opens.
Joining Anbu will receive a set of equipment from Anbu, and you will also need to get a tattoo of a red flame pattern on your arm.
With Kiyoshi and now Medical Arts, this layer of tattoo ink can be completely washed away at any time.
"Trouble."
Kakashi's voice was hoarse, and he still looked a little dazed.
Kiyoshi is not too surprised to see this. After transplanting Sharingan, the main body needs to suppress this Sharingan at all times.
Shimura Danzō transplanted Sharingan, and even created "Hashirama Cells" to balance the power.
Kakashi has nothing, he can only resist hard, and the upper limit of mana has been directly cut off.
It's strange that you can be in good spirits.
"Kiyoshi, have you come to visit Kakashi?"
Rin Nohara came in from outside carrying several boxes of lunch.
Her face looked as haggard as Kakashi.
Seeing this, Kiyoshi showed a hidden smile.
Kakashi's pressure will be conveyed to Rin Nohara sooner or later. After all, Rin Nohara is such a kind person.
"Yeah."
Kiyoshi nodded.
"That's it."
Rin Nohara put down the lunch box and planned to turn around and bring one for Kiyoshi.
"No, I'll leave right away."
Kiyoshi shook his head, exchanged a few casual greetings, and then left.
Rin Nohara things need to ferment, and fermentation takes time.
This time won't be long, just within these few days.
Kiyoshi is not in a hurry.
"Kakashi, what are you talking about?"
After Kiyoshi left, Rin Nohara opened the lunch box and asked Kakashi.
"Nothing, it's confidential."
Kakashi said lightly.
Regarding joining Anbu, please do not reveal it at will.
Otherwise, everyone knows the identity of Anbu, and wearing a mask would be meaningless.
Kakashi actually didn't know much about Anbu, and his father rarely mentioned Anbu before his death.
The only thing that is clear is that Anbu is a bloody and dark place!
When Obito gave his Sharingan as a jounin gift and died trying to save him, Kakashi clearly understood what "bonds" are.
I also understand that idiots who don't value their companions are trash among ninjas.
This is what Obito taught him with his life, but it was a pity that he realized it too late.
So Kakashi didn't want Rin Nohara to come into contact with this. Obito entrusted Rin Nohara to him, so Kakashi had to risk his life to fulfill the agreement with Obito to "protect Lin."
"Confidential...?"
Rin Nohara's eyes were filled with a layer of sadness. She pretended to rub her eyes nonchalantly and quietly wiped away her tears.
Since Kakashi came back, I have taken the initiative to keep a certain distance from him.
Obviously when Lightning Release and Kakashi were communicating before, the atmosphere between the two was pretty good.
Now I have returned directly to the original progress, and there is even a deep sense of distance.
"Kakashi..."
Rin Nohara hesitated to speak, as if he wanted to say what he had buried in his heart all these years.
"Lin... Obito He likes you very much, very much... he values you very much..."
Kakashi realized what Rin Nohara wanted to say and spoke first.
"..."
Rin Nohara lowered his eyes.
Shouldn't love be free?
Doesn't she have the right to pursue the person she likes?
Because Obito may like me, so I can't be with Kakashi?
"I... I'm leaving first."
Rin Nohara waited for Kakashi to finish eating the lunch, then packed the lunch and quickly walked out the door.
"Lin..."
Kakashi stretched out his hand with some pain, and quickly withdrew it.
This was a result of his own doing, and atonement must be made.
