Naruto: Uchiha is not the Raikage!

Completing one ninjutsu pushes the progress to a little over 33%.

Now it's already at 45%.

This is because after Kiyoshi learned the Clone Technique, he refocused on "Lightning Release: Iron Skin".

Kiyoshi learns this ninjutsu very smoothly.

It can only be said that the Yotsuki clan is naturally suited for lightning release and taijutsu.

"It should still be lacking."

Kiyoshi exhaled.

The Strong Physique entry hasn't been triggered yet, estimating it will meet the requirements after practicing for a while longer.

The current him is vastly different from himself two months ago.

No longer thin and frail, looking like someone malnourished.

"Hey, Kiyoshi, aren't you leaving yet?"

Kakashi's voice came from outside the door.

"Coming."

Kiyoshi packed his things and walked out with the cloth bag.

The place where he lives belongs to the edge of the Uchiha settlement, so visiting is very convenient, without having to go deep into the Uchiha settlement.

Kakashi often comes to find him for some reason.

The two came to the ninja school together.

From Kakashi, Kiyoshi learned something.

That is, Kakashi's father went to carry out a secret mission, and it seems he is finally coming back.

Kiyoshi knows that this should be the secret mission of infiltrating the enemy camp as a captain.

Now it is in a sensitive period before the war, and this mission is estimated to have a great impact on the Land of Fire.

Then, Sakumo Hatake will have to face the choice between the mission and his companions.

The result is that he chose his companions.

"So it's here."

Kiyoshi thought to himself.

Within these few days, the news of the mission failure will spread.

Then there will be one-sided public opinion, and even the companions he saved will be criticizing him.

Kiyoshi glanced at Kakashi.

Then, Kakashi will graduate this year and be promoted to Chunin in a very short time.

"Kakashi, Kiyoshi."

As soon as they came in, Nohara Rin greeted them enthusiastically.

Her gaze was basically focused on Kakashi.

Kiyoshi nodded.

Whenever Kakashi is present, Nohara Rin's after-school explanations become more detailed.

If it were just Kiyoshi alone, Nohara Rin would only guide him for a few days at most before ending it.

Later, Kakashi kept coming, and Nohara Rin never said anything about stopping the guidance.

Of course, Obito would come in for various reasons every time.

"Alright, class is starting."

After chatting for a while, the Chunin teacher in charge of teaching history patted the podium.

A figure hurriedly ran over.

"I accidentally helped too many old ladies."

Obito wanted to sneak in, but was caught by the Chunin teacher.

"Never-ending old ladies to help, huh? Go stand at the back."

The Chunin teacher didn't want to listen to Obito's nonsense.

This kid is often late.

On the first day of registration, he needed to get the materials to complete the registration, but Obito was still late.

"Uh... really."

Obito scratched the back of his head.

Kiyoshi looked at Obito from below.

Obito, before he was corrupted, really liked helping old ladies.

He turned his head and talked to Nohara Rin.

Asking about some shuriken throwing techniques.

Obito glanced down and could see the smug Kakashi looking speechless.

And Kiyoshi whispering with Rin in the back.

"Hurry up and go."

The Chunin teacher urged.

Obito then retracted his gaze and honestly walked back.

"Obito, the next class is another subject, you won't be standing for long."

Obito specifically walked on the path next to Nohara Rin.

Hearing Nohara Rin's comforting words, the depression in Obito's heart was swept away.

"As expected, Rin is the best to me!"

Obito walked back while thinking, even fantasizing about becoming Hokage in the future, reaching the pinnacle of his life, and then marrying Rin.

...

After school.

Uchiha settlement.

Not long after Kiyoshi returned home, someone came to find him, taking him to an ancient building.

Uchiha Hazuki led Kiyoshi here.

"Yakushi, a D-level lightning release scroll."

Uchiha Hazuki said.

She wore a deep purple Uchiha robe, with a flame fan family crest on the cuffs, and a beauty mark adorned under her eyelids.

Kiyoshi stood behind Uchiha Hazuki.

Uchiha Hazuki was sent by Fugaku to bring Kiyoshi to receive the scroll.

She is also the future mother of Uchiha Izumi.

Also died at the hands of Itachi.

But he waited a month for Hazuki to arrive, and Kiyoshi knew very well that this was not taken seriously at all.

Naturally, it was delayed until it could no longer be delayed before being resolved.

If it weren't for Fugaku's order, Kiyoshi estimated that he wouldn't be able to get this scroll at all.

Other Uchihas would be able to get it in two or three days at most.

It's normal to be ostracized and discriminated against in the Uchiha clan.

After all, the Uchiha are a proud clan.

If Kiyoshi was a mixed-blood born in Konoha, it might not be a big deal.

But he happens to be from the Land of Lightning.

Perhaps the Uchiha ancestors lived in the Land of Lightning, but that time is too long ago.

So long ago that no Uchiha feels that they have anything to do with the Land of Lightning.

In "Sasuke Shinden", Sasuke learned about the past of the Uchiha and the Land of Lightning from the mouth of the Chinoike clan.

"A new clan member?"

Uchiha Yakushi poked his head out, looking to be in his early forties, the crisscrossing scars on his cheeks making his smile look ferocious.

"Yes, he is Uchiha Kiyoshi,"

Yakushi grinned, the scars piled together, saying:

"A mixed-blood of the Uchiha clan is rare, and even rarer to be sent from the Land of Lightning."

Hazuki didn't respond, only signaling Yakushi to retrieve the scroll.

Kiyoshi stood in place, observing the furnishings of the house.

"Hey, first time."

Uchiha Yakushi put on an ugly smile.

There are precedents for mixed-bloods in the Uchiha clan, but this is the first time someone has been sent from such a distant place as the Land of Lightning.

He turned and walked towards the iron door at the back, taking out a key to unlock it.

The outside light projected into the dark room, adding a touch of light.

But deeper inside, the sunlight could not penetrate, looking dim.

Some white dust floated in the air.

Uchiha Yakushi lit a few oil lamps, and the room, which had just looked a bit dim, had an orange light.

Inside, there were many old bookshelves, filled with all kinds of scrolls.

"Lightning Release is over here."

Uchiha Yakushi walked into a place with the word "Lightning" written on it, and picked up a D-level Lightning Release ninjutsu in his hand.

"Can't choose myself?"

Kiyoshi raised an eyebrow.

He also wanted to choose a ninjutsu that suited him.

Uchiha Yakushi looked at Uchiha Hazuki, the scroll in his hand stopping in mid-air.

Uchiha Hazuki's delicate face gently shook her head:

"Fugaku didn't say, I can't make decisions on my own."

"Did you hear?"

Uchiha Yakushi smiled again, the smile causing the scars to pile up again.

"Okay, thank you."

In the end, Kiyoshi didn't say anything, and took the scroll.

After getting the scroll, the two came out of the room.

Uchiha Yakushi locked the iron door and sat back on the stool under the eaves in front.

"Fugaku is the clan leader, we need to follow his orders."

After walking a distance, Uchiha Hazuki suddenly spoke.

"I know, Hazuki-sama, this is for my own good, after all, I don't know which ninjutsu is suitable for me."

Kiyoshi nodded, revealing a smile.

It doesn't matter if they have malice towards him.

Then he will collect some interest later.

Isn't that fair?

Hazuki was stunned, looking at Kiyoshi's simple and honest smile, obviously not expecting Kiyoshi to be so sensible.

A soft smile slightly stretched her eyebrows: "It's good that you can think like this."
