"Really?"
Kiyoshi nodded.
Then follow Mikoto to Hokage's Office Building.
As his strength improves, his voice becomes stronger and stronger.
He will naturally be notified of these meetings.
Not long after, the two came to the conference room inside Hokage's Office Building.
"Hoho, Kiyoshi-kun, long time no see."
Orochimaru nodded in greeting.
He led the troops on the front line and came back the last time he handed them over to Kiyoshi Cursed Seal.
The rest of the time, he was on the front lines.
"Lord Orochimaru, the Cursed Seal you gave me, I think there will be research results soon, maybe in a few days."
"How about a few days..."
Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth.
Kiyoshi's talent in scientific research is really not inferior to his own.
No, I should say stronger than myself.
He thought it would take at least half a year to analyze Kiyoshi, but this was far beyond his expectation.
"Cursed Seal?"
In the room, there was also a beautiful figure with blond hair.
Tsunade looked at Orochimaru, then at Kiyoshi.
She really couldn't understand how Kiyoshi could be mixed up with Orochimaru.
With Orochimaru's arrogant temperament, he doesn't look down on the juniors.
"Uchiha Clan is truly an outstanding person."
Orochimaru Sometimes I really want to change myself into a Uchiha body.
Because according to his research and the second-generation theory, once Uchiha evolves into Sharingan, that special Chakra will drive physical fitness.
Both physical strength and mental strength will be improved.
For Kiyoshi to be so excellent, Orochimaru thinks that in addition to Kiyoshi's personal way of thinking, there is also the effect of Sharingan's blessing.
"I heard that you met Shinno?"
Orochimaru mentioned the word Shinno.
He took a deep look at Kiyoshi.
Shinno can open all Eight Gates including Gate of Death. Kiyoshi can live here and will undoubtedly defeat Shinno.
The key is that those forbidden medical techniques of Shinno have extremely strong recovery capabilities.
Not even at the same level. He must be much stronger than Shinno to achieve such a record.
"Land of Sky is just a remnant. Why, do you know Lord Orochimaru too?"
Kiyoshi smiled.
Mikoto, who came with Kiyoshi, stared wide-eyed.
Does that old guy Shinno know anyone in Konoha?
Could it be that he was also deceived by Shinno's honest appearance?
"How could it be? I just knew a little bit about it."
Of course Orochimaru would not reveal his friendship with Shinno on such an occasion.
The two of them had only a brief exchange, and Shinno left in a hurry after getting "Zero-Tails Technique".
This scroll should be in the hands of Kiyoshi now.
"It's better to stay away from such dangerous people in the future."
Tsunade frowned.
Land of Sky is not just a country that talks big words, but there is a problem with their Royal Capital Fortress energy supply, which leads to everything being lost.
"Since it is teacher Tsunade's advice, I will be careful in the future."
Kiyoshi said.
Hearing this, Mikoto looked at Tsunade.
Tsunade has a pretty face and a purple diamond pattern on her forehead, which adds a touch of flavor out of thin air.
Below is a graceful body, especially the two human hearts, which are extremely huge.
When it comes to size alone, Mikoto has to feel inferior to think that she cannot compare to Tsunade.
Kiyoshi briefly exchanged greetings with Orochimaru and Tsunade, and continued to follow Mikoto inside.
On the way Mikoto found another topic and said:
"Kiyoshi, are you so familiar with Orochimaru?"
Mikoto is quite unexpected.
The two seemed to be working together and studying something together.
"It's okay."
Kiyoshi is noncommittal.
He and Orochimaru should be in a mutually beneficial relationship. Orochimaru sees a second self in himself and wants to cultivate a perfect assistant.
Kiyoshi is eager for Orochimaru's experimental capabilities and those experimental data, which will save Kiyoshi a lot of effort.
Even obtaining forbidden spells such as "Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu".
"Okay everyone, this should be the jounin in the village who can come over now."
Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed slightly.
The huge discussion room began to become quiet.
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the crowded large room, and everyone's eyes were looking at him.
"First of all, I want to announce one thing, that is, I will abdicate during this period, and handover matters will be carried out one after another. Once Fourth Hokage is selected, the succession ceremony will be carried out immediately."
Hiruzen Sarutobi It's like throwing a bomb into the deep sea when you come up, causing a commotion.
"What, the Yondaime?"
"Who will be next?"
Among the jounin, in addition to those jounin from big families, there are many small families and solitary civilian jounin.
Their sources are not well versed.
Only those wealthy families have long known that the next Hokage will be selected.
"In addition, Root leader Shimura Danzō is also abdicating, and a second Root manager needs to be elected."
Everyone looked towards Shimura Danzō.
Shimura Danzō stood next to Mitokado Homura with a gloomy face.
"Removed."
Kiyoshi The corners of his mouth curled up.
Now, it will become much more troublesome for Shimura Danzō to cause trouble.
"So please make more contributions to the village in the next battlefield. This will affect our decision on the candidates."
Utatane Koharu stood up to supplement Hiruzen Sarutobi.
As the war draws to a close, anti-war sentiment will reach its climax.
So now we need to take a stabilizing agent so that everyone can continue to fight with enthusiasm.
Sure enough, the crowd suddenly became a little commotion.
Kiyoshi could see that the eyes of people such as Hyuga Hiashi, Fugaku Uchiha and others were a little brighter.
It can be said that in Konoha, a ninja who does not want to be Hokage is not a good ninja.
Even a three-year-old child can sing a paragraph about why he wants to be Hokage.
"Kumogakure is now sending troops to attack the Land of Fire border. Hidden Mist is also ready to make a move. This operation must be won."
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at all the Jonin.
The jounin class is the top of a ninja village.
There is no weak person in this group of people.
Because the jounin requirement is Omnipotence, and if it is a partial subject, it will be Special Jōnin, not a real jounin.
"If we lose, people outside will see the weak side of Konoha, and the war will once again become intense."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked solemn.
Kiyoshi nodded.
Hiruzen Sarutobi is a bit softer, but he has all the qualities of a Hokage.
To put it simply, this operation is to hit with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches.
The war was supposed to end, but Konoha was about to die.
Other countries will have more thoughts than they should have, trying to pick up the slack behind Kumogakure.
Solving this matter beautifully will allow neighboring countries to feel Konoha's profound heritage and give up consciously.
"Kumogakure took the water route this time. They circled through the sea areas of Land of Hot Water, Land of Water, and Land of Bears, and came directly to the western border of Land of Fire."
Shikaku Nara began to explain further information to everyone. This was the fastest information Yamanaka Clan had passed back from the front line.
"In other words, their speed will be very fast, and their follow-up support will be fast, right."
Kiyoshi, who was silent, suddenly spoke.
Shikaku Nara was stunned for a moment and nodded slowly.
"Kiyoshi Uchiha, you are right."
Shikaku Nara went to get information about the recently famous genius Uchiha Clan. Among them, Kiyoshi is definitely one that others will want to know about.
"So this battle, if you don't pay attention, will turn into a protracted battle. It must be won with thunderous momentum."
Shikaku Nara sounded serious.
As an advisor, he knew the ninja reserves in the village very well.
It is difficult for Konoha to continue fighting such a war.
"Why don't you put me in charge of a unit? I own "Flying Thunder God Technique" and can come and go freely."
Kiyoshi spoke lightly.
There are many good things in Book of Seals, all of which require merit.
Once the war is over, it will not be easy to gain merit in peacetime.
The noisy discussion room suddenly fell silent.
All their eyes fell on Kiyoshi.
"Kiyoshi, don't be stubborn."
Mikoto's heart skipped a beat and he quickly pulled Kiyoshi's left cuff.
There are many leaders of wealthy clans here, and Kiyoshi's move is too abrupt.
"Hmph, it's not the turn of a brat here to say anything about leading the team."
Shimura Danzō was the first to express dissatisfaction.
It would be okay if it were any other ninja, but Uchiha would definitely not work!
"It's better to let Orochimaru lead the team, he has rich experience."
Hiruzen Sarutobi lit the pipe, said nothing, and looked thoughtful.
He could see that his talented disciple, whom he was proud of, was very close to Danzo.
Danzo and he have been companions for decades, and they both know each other's nature.
Shimura Danzō has no good personal ethics, but he does his best for Konoha. This is why Hiruzen Sarutobi can always indulge Shimura Danzō.
Obviously, Shimura Danzō wants to recommend Orochimaru as Hokage.
This achievement will also bring great convenience to Hokage candidates.
"But Danzo, Kiyoshi should be the only one here who knows Teacher Tobirama's technique."
Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
Minato Namikaze was dispatched by him to the battlefield of Hidden Mist, which was also full of dangers.
Shimura Danzō snorted coldly.
This is exactly what Hiruzen said.
The fastest ninja is Kiyoshi Uchiha.
"In this way, we will divide into multiple captains. Orochimaru will lead a group of soldiers. Tsunade is Kiyoshi's teacher. These two will lead a group of soldiers. The rest..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said.
He knew about Tsunade taking Kiyoshi as his disciple.
Kiyoshi and Hokage have a closer union.
And with this arrangement, Uchiha Clan wouldn't have any objections.
Kiyoshi is actually Uchiha.
The sound of discussion reappeared in the discussion room.
Some are optimistic about Kiyoshi, while others are not.
Afterwards, Hiruzen Sarutobi began to finalize further details for this operation.
After everything was done, Hiruzen Sarutobi said:
"Everyone go back and make preparations first."
In the originally crowded discussion room, a large number of Jonin began to file out.
"Kiyoshi, are you really okay?"
Mikoto asked, frowning slightly.
This operation is not simple, Kiyoshi is likely to get into trouble.
Kumogakure This time, it is very likely that Tailed Beasts's level of combat power will be dispatched.
That is a terrifying weapon that can flatten a mountain with one shot of "Tailed Beast Bomb".
"Tailed Beasts is scary, but it's not absolutely invincible. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Kiyoshi opens.
Tailed Beasts is mainly strong in that it can release "Tailed Beast Bomb", but this move takes time to condense.
During this part of the time, you can actually use ninjutsu to bombard Tailed Beasts's condensed black ball to interrupt it, or run away quickly.
As long as he is not hit head-on, with the strength of the ninja, it is difficult to be killed by the subsequent shock wave.
"It doesn't matter. Compared with these trivial things, there is another thing I regret more."
"What's the regret?"
Mikoto is confused.
"It's a pity that I can't stay in the village anymore. I promised to go to Sister Mikoto's house to cook new dishes in two days."
Kiyoshi looked at Mikoto.
Her smooth straight black hair was spread behind her, with some even falling on her shoulders and in front of her chest.
The face that spoke of tenderness in the brows just turned around to face Kiyoshi.
"It's nothing important."
Mikoto shook his head slightly.
She thought Kiyoshi would say something more important.
Although this incident is regrettable, it is obviously not worth mentioning when it comes to the future of the village.
"Sister Mikoto's matter, how can it be a small matter to me?"
Kiyoshi looks serious.
Mikoto was slightly startled, not expecting Kiyoshi to say this.
"But we don't have much time. We have to leave tonight."
Mikoto shook his head.
The date for this operation was in the evening.
In other words, they had to pack up their marching equipment, go to the vegetable market to buy ingredients, and rush home, which caused some time conflicts.
"Wouldn't it be better if I just used "Flying Thunder God Technique"?"
Kiyoshi smiled and put his arms around Mikoto's slender waist.
A burst of fragrance hits my face.
Mikoto stiffened and subconsciously wanted to say something.
In the end, he said nothing and let Kiyoshi hold him in his arms.
The next moment, the two appeared at the vegetable market.
"I... I'm going to pick out the ingredients."
Mikoto lowered his head and looked hasty.
She didn't know what was wrong with her.
When I saw Kiyoshi recently, my heart skipped a beat.
Her heart was in her throat and her blood was rushing from the close contact.
Looking at Mikoto, who used to like bargaining on prices, he didn't negotiate any prices and just kept his head down to select products.
Kiyoshi couldn't help but smile.
After long-term contact, Mikoto will only be changed bit by bit by him.
The next day.
Hundreds of ninjas gathered outside the village and headed toward the western front.
Here are the elite ninjas. In order to cope with this war, these are all made up by Konoha, who has no military strength.
The group marched for several days before finally arriving at the western border.
There, the air became a little more humid.
If you stand at a high place, you can see the endless sea.
After arriving at the stronghold, everyone began to set up their own camps and prepare for the next day's tasks.
"Are you Shisui?"
When Kiyoshi was setting up his tent, he could find a person looking at him.
"You know me?"
The big-nosed young ninja looked confused.
"I've heard that you have gained some fame not long after you joined the battlefield."
Kiyoshi looked at Shisui Uchiha.
He is only a few years old now, and his strength is already far beyond that of the other Uchiha clan members.
In the original work Uchiha Clan, there are two geniuses who play against common sense. One is Itachi, and the other is Shisui.
They were able to start Mangekyō Sharingan at a young age, but in the end they chose to stand opposite Uchiha.
"I came to you to ask what you think of the Uchiha Clan."
Shisui Uchiha looked at Kiyoshi.
He knew that Kiyoshi was a famous genius in the Uchiha Clan, and he even grew up listening to the story of Kiyoshi.
Therefore, Shisui Uchiha wants to know what Kiyoshi thinks of the Uchiha Clan.
"A family of love."
Kiyoshi said lightly.
"Love?"
Kiyoshi's answer was beyond Shisui's expectations.
There are rumors outside that Uchiha is an inherently evil clan, and he himself can feel the clan's pursuit of power.
And the narrowness of measure.
Even he himself only opened his eyes after seeing his companions die.
Such a despicable clan can only open their eyes through death and hatred. Is this really the so-called "love"?
"That's right, if Uchiha doesn't have love, he can't open his eyes."
Kiyoshi's answer left Shisui confused.
He looked up at the handsome man in front of him.
Those pitch-black eyes seemed to be eternally unruffled and unpredictable.
"I understand, thank you, Senior Kiyoshi."
Shisui Packed up the confusion in his heart and walked out.
"I heard that you have some talent for "Body Flicker Technique", this is for you."
Kiyoshi threw out a ninjutsu scroll.
Shisui opened it and saw some insights about "Body Flicker Technique".
After thanking Kiyoshi again, he left with the scroll and his thoughts.
Kiyoshi continues to set up his tent.
Giving Shisui the scroll was not a whim of his.
But he had planned to meet Shisui for a long time, and happened to meet him today.
It contains his experience, but it also contains the back-up tactics left by Kiyoshi.
Some of the meridian system routes that Chakra passes through are meaningless. Once they are run according to what Kiyoshi said, they will leave flaws.
"Looking at it now, I haven't fallen to Konoha yet. I'm just confused. Let's see if we can guide him back."
Kiyoshi secretly said.
Of course, some backup is also essential.
Another place where the tent is set up at Kiyoshi.
Fugaku looked up at the sparkling sea in the distance, reflecting his own thoughts in his heart.
Kiyoshi, as he expected, grew rapidly and attracted everyone's attention.
He himself also used this to hide himself deeper.
Finally, not many people cared whether he had hidden secret skills or not.
More people are wondering whether Kiyoshi will be the next Madara Uchiha.
After all, a character like Madara Uchiha is the counterpart of God of Shinobi Hashirama. The two of them were friends who grew up together.
"I feel a lot more relaxed."
Fugaku took a deep breath. Once Kumogakure and Hidden Mist are pacified, the war will be completely over.
He can relax to some extent and focus on some of his life-long events.
That is Mikoto.
I feel like I owe Mikoto as I keep dragging Fugaku.
Fugaku thought of this, and could no longer suppress the longing in his heart. He walked quickly towards Mikoto's camp.
"Mikoto."
When Fugaku arrived, he found Mikoto heating a bento with a careful expression.
Then I used ketchup to draw a cute pattern on it.
Fugaku couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and felt warm in his heart. The lunch box Mikoto prepared for him was really cute.
"Mikoto, you don't have to do so much for me."
Fugaku is close to Mikoto road.
"Fugaku?"
The focused Mikoto was startled. She hadn't noticed Fugaku coming over yet.
"I think our relationship can be officially confirmed."
Fugaku opening.
As early as the first day Kiyoshi came to the Uchiha Clan, the relationship between the two was just a layer of window paper.
However, unlike what Fugaku expected, Mikoto bit his lower lip and did not speak.
An unknown thought rose from Fugaku's heart.
Could it be that Mikoto has changed his mind?
No, not possible.
Fugaku knows that there are not many men around Mikoto.
"Fugaku, let's wait until the war is over before talking about these things. We were too impatient before."
Mikoto said, covering the heated lunch box.
Fugaku was startled.
It seems that I was too neglectful of Mikoto, which caused a sense of distance between Mikoto and myself.
Fugaku subconsciously reached out and wanted to take the bento covered by Mikoto.
No matter what, as long as there is constant communication, Fugaku believes that the relationship between them can be restored to what it was before.
When his hand reached halfway, it froze in vain.
I saw that Mikoto did not hand the lunch box to Fugaku, but packed it up.
"Sorry, Fugaku, this is a lunch for Kiyoshi."
Mikoto shook his head slightly.
This is the agreement between her and Kiyoshi.
In the afternoon of the mission, Kiyoshi used "Flying Thunder God Technique" to take her around to buy ingredients, and also gave her a Sealing Scroll.
After the purchase, the two exchanged recipes for a while.
According to Kiyoshi, what are these "Chinese styles".
Mikoto I have never heard of these strange words, but after making it according to Kiyoshi's method, I found that it tastes pretty good.
These lunch boxes were made by her and Kiyoshi.
Today she was just heating it and wanted to get it to Kiyoshi.
Kiyoshi is one of the commanders of this unit. He will definitely not have much time to make these by himself at night, and he will probably starve.
"Kiyoshi?"
Fugaku frowned deeply.
No, what's the situation?
He asked Mikoto to visit Kiyoshi more often, so that Kiyoshi could leave a "bond" in the clan.
It is not the "bond" that makes Mikoto himself become Kiyoshi.
"I'm leaving first. If you have anything else, wait until I come back to talk about it."
Mikoto waved his hand and walked out of his tent.
"Mikoto..."
Fugaku still wanted to say something, but Mikoto had already gone away.
His shout attracted the attention of many passing ninjas.
Fugaku had no choice but to shut his mouth.
He is the patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, and every move he makes represents the face of Uchiha.
"We can only wait until the war is over."
Fugaku felt unusually anxious.
He never expected that Kiyoshi could be so close to Mikoto.
But there is nothing we can do now.
He didn't have time to care about any of this.
"Fugaku Captain, your signature is needed here."
Uchiha Yakumi shouted.
In addition to Kiyoshi and Tsunade, there are actually many commanders.
Fugaku is one of them.
"Coming."
Fugaku's voice is a bit dull.
Uchiha Yakumi noticed this.
He was wondering if Captain Fugaku had a fight with Mikoto.
But Yakumi didn't dare to ask.
An isolated island more than ten kilometers away from the coast.
Ninjas patrol here from time to time, and there are many ships docked outside.
"The latest information has arrived, reinforcements from Konoha have arrived."
In one of the caves, orange oil lamps illuminated the surroundings.
A Kumogakure ninja began to report the situation.
"Kiyoshi Uchiha is coming?"
One of the ladies with her arms folded and her golden braids hanging down asked.
