Kiyoshi

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Kiyoshi previously worked in sales and draws on that experience when dealing with pressure, difficult people, and the need to project confidence. He transmigrates into a six-year-old Uchiha’s body and recognizes that the expected clan massacre is less than two years away. Knowing that Sasuke is supposed to be the sole survivor makes his own survival an immediate concern 1 5 6.

His father, Kazuhiko, belongs to a branch family and works as an ordinary clerk in Konoha’s logistics department, counting supplies and checking reports. His mother, Misa, teaches him formal Uchiha etiquette. His parents remember him as sensible, quiet, and reluctant to attract attention, making his boastful Academy introduction especially surprising 2 3 12.

He conceals the system from his parents. His initial goal of becoming strong enough to survive gradually expands into saving people threatened by the massacre, including his family, Sasuke, Izumi, and Shisui 3 8 21 41.

Appearance

Kiyoshi initially has a young child’s lightly conditioned body, with pale, soft hands and no calluses on his knuckles 6.

• Black iron bracelet: Worn on his wrist; conspicuous against his light-colored school-uniform sleeve 2 6.
• Neat presentation: Deliberately arrives at Sasuke’s home with clean hands, tidy clothes, and a carefully maintained blank expression 17.
• Formal posture: Stands and sits with his back straight when interacting with the Uchiha main family 12 19.

Personality

Kiyoshi’s deadpan manner conceals embarrassment, anxiety, and a frequently sarcastic inner monologue. He dislikes attention but performs boastful or absurd behavior to satisfy the system and earn currency. He can maintain his expression through ridicule—and even through swallowing scalding soup—but privately finds these performances exhausting 1 3 13 19.

He is pragmatic about survival and persistent despite poor initial physical aptitude. Rather than treating his Grade D assessment as final, he commits to increasing his training incrementally. He also studies opponents’ habits: against Sasuke, he identifies impatience and overly direct attacks, then uses taunts and evasions to create openings 6 15.

His concern for others increasingly outweighs simple self-preservation. He befriends Naruto despite hostility from villagers, wants to spare Sasuke the suffering of the massacre, and resolves to save Izumi and Shisui. Nevertheless, he remains guarded about his knowledge, offering Shisui a fabricated explanation before eventually sharing evidence without revealing its ultimate source 8 22 23 27 34 41 50.

Abilities & Skills

Prayer System

The system rewards Kiyoshi with Awkwardness Value and Face Value, which he spends on draws for skills, equipment, consumables, and fragments 2 7 30.

• Earns Awkwardness Value through embarrassing performances, provocative remarks, and public ridicule 7 9 29.
• Earns Face Value through recognition, successful demonstrations, and helpful actions such as returning a lost girl to her family 7 13 29.
• Can receive special training scenarios; training in the rain doubles both acquisition and training effects 9.
• Stores drawn items in a system inventory for later retrieval 30 33.
• Acquires the Embarrassment Wall skill in his first ten-pull; its mechanics are not established in the supplied passages 2.

Skill Slots

An SR-Rank draw unlocks a passive skill-slot feature with capacity for two R-Rank skills 30.

• Eligible loaded skills can be used directly without additional study 30.
• The slot feature itself occupies no equipment slots and consumes no chakra 30.
• Capacity can increase through upgrades, but no upgrade is documented 30.
• Both slots are empty when unlocked; the Clone Technique scroll is retained separately as a learning aid 30.

Taijutsu

Kiyoshi develops his fundamentals through conditioning, the Instinctive Fist Technique, Academy instruction, and Shisui’s guidance 6 13 18.

• Transfers principles of force generation, weight shifting, and footwork from his personal routine into the Academy’s Basic Fist Technique 13.
• Uses dodges, blocks, verbal provocation, and balance disruption against Sasuke 15.
• Defeats Ishikawa with a Shisui-taught Joint Lock, followed by a leg sweep 29.
• Demonstrates a modified Jiahao Fist Technique, retaining exaggerated arm movements while suppressing its bizarre opening poses 29.
• Still lacks polished combat experience; Izumi exposes uneven movement despite his improved reactions 31.
• Remains physically vulnerable: prolonged training causes soreness, and Hinata’s palm strikes briefly numb his arm and disrupt its chakra pathways 28 43.

Shurikenjutsu

Shisui teaches him grip, stance, forearm-driven release, and wrist-angle adjustments for accurate throwing 18 28.

• Progresses from missing a stationary post to consistent hits and a bull’s-eye during his first extended lesson 18.
• Practices moving targets, initially missing five consecutive throws 27.
• Learns to reproduce Shisui’s wrist twist and lands several bull’s-eyes during advanced practice 28.
• Later achieves accurate three-shuriken volleys 42 45.

Chakra and Academy Ninjutsu

Kiyoshi understands chakra theory well enough to complete Iruka’s explanation and answer questions about physical and spiritual energy 4.

• Chakra extraction: First succeeds after relaxing his focus rather than repeatedly rehearsing the instructions 5.
• Clone Technique: A scroll supplies hand-seal sequences, chakra proportions, and a mental model for creating the clone. He later demonstrates a complete clone and uses it during training 33 35 45.
• Substitution Technique: Reports that Iruka considers him the student who has improved the most; the supplied passage does not show an independent demonstration 36.

Foreknowledge and Covert Planning

Kiyoshi remembers major events from the original story, including the massacre and the anticipated deaths of Shisui and Izumi 1 10 34.

• Uses this knowledge to prioritize protective items, trusted allies, and evacuation preparations 34 41 50.
• Keeps operation records and identifies routes for moving households out of the clan grounds 46 49.
• Conceals evidence in books and uses Mikoto as a discreet route to the clan leader 36 48.
• Does not treat every suspicion as resolved: after Eagle Spring’s death, he leaves the source of the collected eyes as an open issue in his ledger 49.

Limited-Use Group Genjutsu

Kiyoshi tells Shisui that he possesses a genjutsu capable of covering a group 50.

• Each use reduces his remaining supply 50.
• Intended for carefully chosen moments in the evacuation plan 50.
• Its source, duration, and exact effect are not specified 50.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Black iron bracelet — Engraved “Don’t panic.” Raises his equipment coefficient to 1.2 and can be removed and replaced 2.
• Instinct Soldier Pills — R-Rank consumables recommended for training; takes one during his rain-session breakthrough 6 9.
• Basic Chakra Refinement Acceleration Card — Raises refinement efficiency by 50% for seven days; activated after his Face Value ten-pull 30.
• Clone Technique learning scroll — Drawn with an expected improvement from Beginner to Proficient; actual recorded progress later remains “nearing proficiency” 30 33 38.
• Body Flicker Technique Talismans ×2 — SR-Rank items allowing instant movement to a visible location within 30 metres. Landing forces a downward-press Jiahao finishing pose that cannot be disabled 33.
• Standard Ninja Tool Pack — Contains five kunai, ten shuriken, and one explosive tag 30.
• Echo Kunai — Emits a loud cry after being embedded in a wall; removing it stops the sound 3.

• Awkwardness Value Double Card · Small — Doubles Awkwardness Value gains, with the bonus capped at 250 points 33.
• Specialty draw items — Includes a Jiahao-colorway smoke bomb, a Comedy Version Random Teleport Card, Sharingan Eye Drops, and a Screaming Kunai. He considers the fake Sharingan item insufficient for his plan to save Izumi 33 34.
• Fragments — Holds a Primordial Power Fragment, Silver Bracelet Fragments, and fragments for Body Flicker, Shurikenjutsu Insights, Chakra Control, Explosive Tag Crafting, Substitution, and a Recovery Potion Recipe. No completed ability from these fragments is confirmed 2 30 33.
• Evidence against Danzo — Carries a memory-storage device containing evidence of human experiments, later hiding it in his Clan Studies Primer and showing material to Shisui 10 36 50.
• Operation ledger — Records defenses, unresolved leads, and evacuation planning 49 50.

Relationships

• Misa — Mother. Teaches him clan etiquette and worries that sparring with Sasuke will get him hurt 12 13.
• Sasuke Uchiha — Classmate, rival, and recurring sparring partner. Their competition pushes Sasuke to train harder; Kiyoshi also wants to spare him the massacre’s aftermath 8 15 17.

• Mikoto Uchiha — Welcoming adult ally who repeatedly invites him to meals and encourages Sasuke to spend time with him. Later conveys his evidence to the clan leader 12 17 48.
• Izumi Uchiha — Senior student and Taijutsu instructor. Recognizes his improvement but questions his overheard promise that she will not die “this time” 20 21 31 34.
• Hinata Hyuga — Classmate and sparring partner. Kiyoshi recognizes her genuine progress and tells her that she deserves his kindness 43.

Notable Quotes

“My name is Uchiha Kiyoshi, and I was born to stand at the peak.” 1

“I can show you the accounts. The bookkeeper’s identity isn’t for sale.” — Refusing to reveal the source behind his evidence 50

Trivia

• Jiahao was almost his given name: Misa says his parents considered it when he was little but interpreted his crying as dislike of the name 3.
• “Calculating wind drift” is his recurring excuse: He uses it to explain missed throws and conspicuous pauses, even after Shisui recognizes his attempt to save face 27 28 33.
• His system and school assessments do not always match: The Clone Technique is “nearing proficiency” on his panel while still officially marked Beginner by Iruka 38.
