Naruto: Uchiha is not the Raikage!

Ultimately, Mei Terumi decided to go to Pakura first.

She could see the anger towards Kiyoshi in Pakura's eyes, so she wouldn't give up as directly as Cloud Ninja.

Night fell.

Outside the mountain rocks near the downstream of the river, there was the light of a bonfire, the flames burning in the wood, making crackling sounds from time to time.

The dew remaining from the daytime was scarce at night, but some damp wood could still be used, and Kiyoshi could ignite it with a Fire Release.

Kiyoshi and his group gathered here with Hinata Natsu and her two companions.

The glimmer of the flames reflected on everyone's faces, and Kiyoshi sprinkled seasoning on a grilled fish.

All training grounds last for five days, and the food during this period must be found by themselves.

Kiyoshi had the foresight to prepare some seasonings and handed them to Yuhi Kurenai.

Yuhi Kurenai's eyes lit up, and she immediately took it, blew a breath, and took a bite with a 'huff'.

"It's hot, but delicious."

Yuhi Kurenai said it was delicious while panting.

She loves to eat fish.

The Forest of Death can be said to be a primeval forest, and the ecology inside is very primitive.

The fish in the river are 100% wild, and the meat tastes much fresher and more tender than farmed ones outside.

Yuhi Kurenai was wondering if these fish also had some meager chakra in their bodies, tempering their meat to be very tender in order to adapt to the life in the primeval forest.

"Kiyoshi, what about me?"

While Yuhi Kurenai was tasting the grilled fish, Sarutobi Asuma looked at Kiyoshi.

Kiyoshi threw the seasoning bottle to Sarutobi Asuma and let him do it himself.

There were still many fish in the simple basket woven with wooden strips.

With Kiyoshi's insight, he could catch fish accurately, rarely missing.

As for Hinata Tetsu and Hinata Hi, they were eating the fish they caught themselves.

But the fish were not only small but also tasteless.

Hinata Natsu was still grilling fish, her white eyes gazing at the crackling bonfire, wondering what she was thinking.

"Hinata Natsu, let's talk."

Kiyoshi stood up when he felt the time was right.

Having eaten and drunk enough, it was time to get down to business.

"Okay."

Hinata Natsu put down the grilled fish and followed Kiyoshi towards the cave.

"Natsu!"

At this time, Hinata Tetsu put down the half-cooked fish in his hand.

Hinata Natsu's affairs always lingered in his heart for some reason, making him uneasy.

Seeing Hinata Natsu going to talk to Kiyoshi, Hinata Tetsu couldn't bear it anymore.

"What's wrong?"

Hinata Natsu turned her head.

"No... nothing, I just will always stand by your side."

No matter what happens.

Hinata Tetsu added this sentence in his heart.

Hinata Natsu smiled lightly, said okay to Hinata Tetsu, and followed Kiyoshi into the cave.

There are many large creatures in the Forest of Death, and caves are not uncommon, and they are generally larger than people.

"About this matter, how do you plan to atone?"

After entering the cave, Kiyoshi said lightly.

Hinata Natsu stood in place, biting her lip, twisting her sleeves unconsciously with her fingertips.

"I... can give you money."

She opened her mouth cautiously, her voice slightly dry.

After thinking about it, Hinata Natsu found that the only valuable thing she had was "money."

Gentle Fist is a secret technique passed down only in the main family, so it is impossible to teach it to Kiyoshi, and Kiyoshi cannot learn it without Byakugan.

Hinata Natsu also has very ordinary standard equipment such as other ninja tools.

She didn't think these could impress Kiyoshi.

Kiyoshi looked at her with a half-smile and slowly said:

"Okay, give me one million taels."

"O... One million?"

Hinata Natsu suddenly raised her head and widened her eyes in shock.

Kiyoshi is really impolite.

It is impossible to sell all of her possessions for one million taels.

"Can't give it? Or do you think that the reputation of my Uchiha clan is not worth a mere one million taels?"

Kiyoshi's tone turned cold.

In the dark cave, only the faint light of the distant bonfire came in a little.

Kiyoshi's face was covered in shadows.

Hinata Natsu was a little anxious, she quickly said:

"The reputation of the Uchiha clan is of course more than this amount of money, but... this money is too much, I need to inform Lady Ginka."

Hinata Natsu said.

Her position was already humble enough, even with a bit of cautious pleading, just to ask Kiyoshi to be accommodating.

She is assigned to serve Hinata Ginka, and Hinata Ginka is generally in charge of everything.

Besides, this matter was originally caused by Hinata Ginka.

She is just Ginka's servant, how can she bear such a huge amount of "atonement" alone?

"You don't even have this much sincerity?"

Kiyoshi's words contained a strong disappointment.

Hinata Natsu's heart trembled, and she shook her head subconsciously:

"No, that's not it! But I really can't get this money..."

Hinata Natsu told the truth, hoping that Kiyoshi could make a reasonable request.

"You said you would atone, but you can't come up with anything."

Kiyoshi shook his head.

Hinata Natsu's hands clenched her sleeves unconsciously, her teeth bit her lower lip lightly, and there were faint tears in the corners of her eyes.

Hinata clan's simple and strict education, she has received since childhood.

The most important thing is to be humble and orderly, and not to lose Hinata's etiquette and shame Hinata's reputation.

"Kiyoshi..."

She finally opened her mouth, her voice trembling slightly, and her eyelashes drooping.

"Then... then what do you want me to atone for?"

Kiyoshi looked at her reaction, and the corners of his lips raised a slight arc that was not easily noticeable.

This is the attitude he wanted.

The one million taels Kiyoshi said was just a casual remark.

It was to pave the way for the next thing.

People are a kind of creature that likes compromise very much.

As long as you put forward a very excessive request in advance, and then put forward a request that is excessive, but not as excessive as the first one, then you will often accept the second one.

"Since you can't come up with money, then use other ways to express your apology."

Kiyoshi slowly paced to her, looked down at her, and suddenly asked in a light tone:

"Hinata Natsu, do you know what your identity is?"

Hinata Natsu suddenly raised her head, a trace of unease flashed in her eyes.

She murmured:

"I am... a branch family of the Hinata clan."

"Incorrect."

Kiyoshi shook his head, with a smile on the corner of his mouth,

"You didn't say it completely, it should be 'a servant of the Hinata main family'."

Hinata Natsu's face suddenly turned pale, as if she had been slapped hard, and a sense of shame instantly surged into her heart.

Her fingers clenched her sleeves, but she was unwilling to open her mouth.

Kiyoshi was not annoyed, but looked at her with interest, as if admiring her fragile persistence.

"What? Don't dare to say it?"

He deliberately approached her slowly, lowered his head slightly, leaned close to her ear, his voice low and seductive:

"Is it because you don't think you are, or are you unwilling to admit it?"

But she still clenched her teeth tightly, stubbornly unwilling to open her mouth.

Kiyoshi looked at her like this, and suddenly chuckled, his eyes showing a playful pity.

The "Caged Bird Curse Seal" is considered a relatively powerful curse seal in Naruto.

Hinata Hizashi didn't know how many years he was buried after his death, and he was reincarnated by Impure World Reincarnation, and he still had the curse seal on his forehead after changing his body!

In other words, the branch family members are servants of the main family when they are alive, and they are still servants of the branch family after death, and they will never be reincarnated forever.
