Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Chapter 217 Nohara Lin's Prayer (6k)

Kakashi turned his head.

The ward he was in had good lighting, and he could see Hokage Rock in the distance through the window.

The statues of all the previous Hokage are on it.

"Father...I'm beginning to understand you."

Kakashi murmured.

When he was young, he didn't understand why his father gave up the mission for his companions.

"People who don't follow the rules are trash, and people who don't cherish their friends are even worse than trash."

This is what Obito said when he went up to catch up with him.

If it weren't for his hesitation, Obito's ending wouldn't necessarily be death under the cold rocks, death in a foreign country.

He was the one who killed Obito...

Looking at the unchanging Hokage Rock outside the window, Kakashi covered his painful left eye.

…………

"Xiaolin, are you back?"

When Nohara Lin returned home, she was greeted by her parents.

Her parents came from very ordinary families, commonly known as commoners.

Nohara Lin nodded and went into the room alone.

Grab a change of clothes and start bathing.

Wow…

Hot water poured from the shower head, flowing over her slightly immature body.

A hazy mist rose in the bathroom, making it foggy.

“…It feels like it’s getting hotter the more I shower.”

Nohara Lin changed the hot water to ice-cold water.

But it still couldn't quench her heat.

It's getting hotter.

It's like there's a fire that's been suppressed.

The cold water makes people feel comfortable.

Nohara Lin noticed this.

"It seems like my pressure is increasing."

Man is a spring.

Once you are under pressure, you need to relieve it.

But Kakashi's matter could never make Nohara Lin feel at ease.

Nohara Lin thought of Seiji.

It is said that a doctor does not treat himself.

If I have time, maybe I should ask Qingsi to help me recuperate.

…………

That night.

A secret gathering beneath the Nanga Shrine.

"Captain Fugaku! The Sharingan must not be left in the hands of outsiders!"

Uchiha Yaowei said in an intense tone.

The Sharingan is the proof of the Uchiha clan.

If the Sharingan were to be spread out, it would surely attract the attention of many people.

It would be fine if Kakashi was crippled by the Sharingan, as it would also serve as a deterrent to outsiders. Not everyone can transplant the Sharingan.

But if Kakashi recovers from his injury, he will be able to thrive with the help of this Sharingan, or even make further progress.

Then it will bring shock to the outside world.

The Sharingan is a hot-swappable plug-in!

When the Uchiha clan goes out on a mission, they will attract the greedy gazes of countless outsiders.

"I know, don't get too excited, it smells like medicine."

Uchiha Fugaku waved his hand, signaling Uchiha Yaowei to calm down.

He essentially didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

If the situation gets out of hand, the Uchiha clan will be further separated from the village.

He himself is still in the spotlight, and there are always voices slandering him.

"Qingji, you're an Anbu, what do the villagers think?"

Fugaku asked.

Most members of the Uchiha clan work in the Konoha Police Department. Even when they go out on missions or participate in wars, they work in teams.

Qingsi is the only one who holds public office in the village.

Although the Konoha Police Department is also an important part of the village's security, it is still a little far from the village's real power core.

Thus, Seiji became the eyes and ears of the Uchiha.

It was an important channel for the Uchiha to listen to the village.

Similarly, Danzo Shimura probably hasn't replaced Uchiha Kahara yet, and has only put up some surveillance cameras.

So if the Konoha high-level officials want to listen to the Uchiha, they have to go through Seiji.

Sometimes, what is seen by surveillance and what is described in person may lead to two different conclusions.

If you want to understand Uchiha, you have to find a trustworthy Uchiha to learn from.

This is what a bridge is.

"The village probably wants to give the Sharingan to Kakashi. After all, it's a gift from Obito to Kakashi for his promotion to Jonin. Kakashi is also a hero of this war and also... the son of White Fang."

Qingsi spoke lightly.

Hatake Sakumo's influence was indeed great, so great that even after decades of his death, daimyo still remembered him.

When talking about Kakashi, the first thing that comes to mind is the son of White Fang, rather than some of Kakashi's personal achievements.

"...White Fang's child."

Uchiha Fugaku sighed.

It was for this reason that he didn't want to make things worse.

No one could have predicted that Hatake Sakumo would commit suicide.

But since he committed suicide, he is still a hero who made countless contributions to the village.

The village will be in the wrong.

Then Kakashi would have some compensation, so as to avoid making other ninjas who have contributed to the village think too much.

The village's attitude towards Kakashi's possession of the Sharingan is obvious.

"Hmph, what if the Sharingan is exiled?"

The eighth Uchiha spoke.

He is one of Fugaku's most trusted confidants, but his personal opinions are more hawkish.

Any factors that endanger the interests of the Uchiha clan must be eliminated!

"Fugaku-sama, in my opinion, we are in the midst of war, so we should be more cautious and subtle."

Qingsi spoke again.

The other tribesmen all looked at Qingsi.

Today, Qingsi has gone from being an invisible figure at the beginning to someone who has a very important say.

Whether it is the identity of the bridge or his own talent and strength, they are enough to convince everyone.

Even Qingsi's youth is no longer a flaw in his lack of experience, but a further elaboration of his genius!
"The Third Hokage is already old. After the war, a new Hokage should be chosen. This is a good opportunity for our Uchiha clan."

Kiyoshi said.

The Uchiha certainly wouldn't stand a chance.

In the original work, at the Hokage selection meeting, he was not even qualified to be nominated.

The reason why Qingsi said this was also to seek greater benefits.

If the Uchiha breaks with the village at this stage, it will not end well.

Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya and even Orochimaru are not vegetarians.

It would be better to let Uchiha think that he has a chance of becoming Hokage.

By the time the selection point comes, Qingsi's strength will have developed even further.

In the future, the village will inevitably give more benefits to Uchiha in order to monitor his movements and appease a strong man like him.

These will all become nutrients for Qingsi's growth.

They are all strong enough to overturn the table.

There will be a statue of him on Hokage Rock.

"That makes sense."

When Fugaku heard this, he was indeed tempted.

His biggest wish is to become Hokage.

If I were to use this favor to increase my chances of becoming Hokage, it would certainly be a sure win.

It can also tell those ninja clans about the Uchiha's broad-mindedness and improve their bad reputation.

Seeing Qingsi give such a righteous reason, the other tribesmen didn't say much.

"But we Uchiha must take a stand."

Fugaku Road.

He then arranged for several Uchiha to express the Uchiha's attitude to the Konoha high-level officials and Kakashi.

No one will cherish things that are obtained too easily.

So you need to express your embarrassment first, and then give in.

What Qingsi has to do is to seize this timing and get what he wants.

…………

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

“We have finally expanded to the size we envisioned.”

Qingsi took a breath.

He put down the kunai marked with the "Flying Thunder God Technique" pattern in his hand and hung it in a quiet room.

In addition to this place, Qingsi also set up several other hidden locations.

These are the coordinates necessary to perform the "Flying Thunder God Jutsu".

"After all, we can't take the equipment in the laboratory with us. We have to buy some of our own experimental equipment."

Qingsi walked out of the quiet room and drank a glass of water in the living room.

Uzumaki Karin has been temporarily placed by him in the experimental base in the Land of Grass.

Ringo Ayuri stayed there for two days and has returned to Kirigakure.

The place built by Qingsi is very hidden, and many explosive traps have been set up. As long as Uzumaki Karin doesn't run around, her safety will not be a big problem.

"Should we go find Orochimaru, or go to the Land of Demons to purchase some equipment?"

Qingsi stroked the smooth wall of the water glass.

Go find Orochimaru. With such a large purchase, Orochimaru will definitely be curious and cause unnecessary temptation.

As for the Land of Demons, you can try it in the name of Her Highness the Miko.

"Forget it, Orochimaru told me to go to Ryuchi Cave."

Qingsi shook his head.

I plan to go find Orochimaru after Nohara Rin's matter is over.

Orochimaru happened to be out on a mission at this time, so we have to wait for him to come back.

"Hiss..."

The white snake crawled out from Qingsi's sleeve and lay down skillfully on the cold floor.

Psychic beasts grow very fast. Once they pass their "childhood", they will enter a "developmental period" of rapid growth.

Her body was thicker than a carriage, and long enough to circle Qingsi's house several times.

The current size is the result of the White Snake using the "Transformation Technique" to suppress it.

Otherwise it would be too eye-catching and inconvenient.

But the white snake's body is still smaller than Orochimaru's summoning beast, Manda, and there is still a lot of room for growth.

While thinking, Qingsi opened the entry panel.

In the past few days, Qingsi has been traveling back and forth between the Grass Country and the Fire Country, continuously draining his chakra and restoring it with the Hyouliang Pills, which has allowed him to obtain two good blue entries.

The first one is the entry for [Earth Spring (Blue)].

The requirement is to consume the chakra amount to only 1% within one day, and repeat it ten times.

The effect is that when the chakra amount is only 10% left, the chakra recovery speed will be increased by 40%.

There is also an entry called [Mouth of Gluttony (Blue)].

The completion requirements correspond to the above entries. You need to use the Bingliang Pills ten times a day to restore the remaining 1% of the chakra.

If it weren't for Qingsi's amazing physique, others would feel dizzy and listless if they consumed even 1% of their chakra, let alone 5%.

You know, once the chakra level drops to 0%, you will be exhausted to death.

In the battle at the Valley of the End, Naruto and Sasuke were almost exhausted to death, and in the end they could only fight in hand-to-hand combat.

Because forced refining will only result in death.

Both of them waited until their chakra levels were restored before using their final move to decide the outcome.

"That's not bad."

Qingsi looked at the text on the entry panel, closed it, and casually swallowed a military pill.

The effect of [Mouth of Gluttony (Blue)] allows Qingsi to continuously increase the energy of his body by eating, storing it in cells without changing his body shape.

This is very similar to the secret ninjutsu of the Akimichi clan, which uses a special method of calorie control to concentrate all strength into one's body.

At the critical moment, he can convert the calories accumulated from eating and drinking a lot into energy, which greatly improves his body functions.

This is the principle behind Akimichi Chouji's "Cho Chouji Mode".

"Time to find Kakashi."

Qingsi called out to the white snake.

The white snake scurried into his sleeve.

Kakashi was discharged from the hospital today and just happened to join the Anbu. …………

Not long after, Qingsi crossed a small fish pond and arrived in front of a spacious house.

Kakashi's house looks much more shabby than before, probably because Kakashi doesn't have the energy to take care of it.

"Let's go, Kakashi."

Seiji called out Kakashi.

Kakashi opened the door and came out.

His mental state seemed to be better than when he was in the hospital.

But he still looked haggard.

The two of them headed to the Anbu together.

"Qingsi, is this the new junior?"

The masked ANBU ninja looked at Kakashi, who was newly brought by Seiji.

"Yes, he is Hatake Kakashi, our new companion."

Kiyoshi said.

Although he didn't carry out many Anbu missions, he spent most of his time on the battlefield.

But I also met some new companions.

"Hatake..."

The Anbu ninja thought of something.

Kakashi looked at Qingji negotiating with an expressionless face.

Afterwards, Seiji took Kakashi to collect the necessary supplies and also got a red tattoo on his arm.

Just as I was about to leave, a figure came from the end of the corridor.

Qingsi narrowed his eyes slightly.

That was Shimura Danzo.

"Uchiha Seiji, this should be the first time we officially meet."

Shimura Danzo paused, then looked at Kakashi and said:

"And you, Hatake Kakashi."

"I wonder what Danzo-sama wants to talk to us about?"

Seiji looked at Shimura Danzo with a calm expression.

He has the "Flying Thunder God Technique", so even if he can't defeat Danzo Shimura, he can still run away.

What's more, there is the "Orochi-style Substitution Technique" that can withstand several fatal injuries.

In other words, even if Danzo Shimura set an ambush and wanted to launch a sneak attack, he would be able to escape.

However, given Danzo Shimura's personality, he would only do it secretly.

It would be safer to face him head-on.

After all, Danzo Shimura's biggest killer move is the "Inner Four Symbols Seal". Apart from that, he has transplanted at most a Sharingan, which allows him to use "Izanagi" once.

Danzo Shimura, who values ​​his life, will not act rashly.

"Yes, I admire you very much."

Shimura Danzo looked at Seiji.

This Uchiha was not afraid at all in front of him.

This is also rare among Uchiha.

He is the leader who controls the Root. Ordinary ninjas don't know of his existence, but those Uchiha from big clans cannot be unaware of him.

"You will only be buried in Hiruzen's place. Why don't you come to me?"

Shimura Danzo extended his hand.

If you want to deal with Uchiha, the best way is to cultivate an Uchiha internally.

Kiyoshi's talent is truly outstanding, which has caused Shimura Danzo, who was planning to win him over later, to make plans in advance.

"Orochimaru, the one you admire, also has a close relationship with me."

Seeing that Seiji didn't say anything for a long time, Shimura Danzo threw out the bait.

The Root had some knowledge of Seiji and knew that he had come into contact with Orochimaru.

The two also conducted some research together.

It seems normal for a young man like Seiji to have some admiration for the Sannin.

"..."

Kakashi's salty eyes widened a little.

Is this... Konoha's top brass extending an olive branch to Seiji?
Kakashi guessed in his mind.

I secretly thought that Qingsi was really amazing.

Then he thought of his own failure and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Whether as a ninja or as a human being, he was falling further and further behind Qingsi.

"That's not necessary, Danzo-sama."

Qingsi used honorifics, but there was no respect on his face.

Follow Danzo Shimura?
Are you waiting to be branded as the "Mark of the Tongue-Eradicating Eradication"?

The reason why Danzo Shimura found him now was simply because he had the same plan as he did to Itachi.

He just wanted to use him to deal with the Uchiha.

"If you have nothing else to do, I will be leaving first, Danzo-sama."

After saying that, Seiji sidled past Shimura Danzo.

He also made a gesture to Kakashi.

A hint of confusion flashed in Kakashi's eyes. He didn't understand why Qingji rejected Shimura Danzo, who seemed to be a high-ranking official of Konoha.

Without much hesitation, Kakashi followed Qingji out.

Qingsi is considered his current Anbu senior, so he naturally has to listen to Qingsi's opinions on everything.

"Humph, he is indeed an Uchiha who is born evil."

Shimura Danzo, who was left alone there, had a gloomy expression on his face.

Uchiha Seiji actually ignored him like that.

"Nono..."

Danzo Shimura suddenly thought of someone.

If I remember correctly, Yakushi Nono was Seiji's teacher.

If Yakushi Nono comes back, maybe he can use it to restrain Uchiha Seiji.

The Uchiha clan is a demonic clan and also a "clan of love".

This sounds contradictory to their evil, but in fact it is because they have too much love in their hearts, so it turns into hatred.

Danzo Shimura deeply remembered the teachings of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

According to this theory, Uchiha Seiji should also be a sentimental person.

It just so happens that Konoha recently needs excellent spies to infiltrate enemy countries.

He had already thought about bringing back Yakushi Nono.

"Ryoma, go get information about Yakushi Nono's orphanage."

When Danzo Shimura returned to the Root, he immediately called his capable subordinates.

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

Aburame Ryoma nodded respectfully.

……

After going out, Qingsi exchanged a few words with Kakashi and then returned to his home.

Qingsi rested at home for the next few days.

He had previously obtained the [Thunder Release Jonin (Purple)] entry, and he also needed to obtain the [Fire Release Jonin (Purple)], [Swordsmanship Jonin (Purple)] and other entries to see if he could trigger higher-level entries.

The Grass Kingdom’s experiments on the power of monsters must also keep up.

In order to save time, he also wrote a letter to other ninjas and sent the letter and the special kunai to the Land of Demons.

In the ninja world, there is a special type of ninja called "mail ninja", who is mainly responsible for delivering mail between countries or ninja villages.

Qingsi just said that this kunai was a souvenir for Miroku, so there was no need to worry about the risk of it being leaked.

Just as Qingsi finished organizing his next plan and was planning to continue optimizing the "Shadow Clone Technique" in order to improve his learning efficiency, someone came to visit him outside.

An expectant smile flashed across Qingsi's lips.

He already knew who the visitor was.

The white snake swam its white body and opened the door with its nimble tail.

He pointed his tail towards the room again.

With her current intelligence, she can only do these simple things.

Perhaps because it came from the Psychic Island, Qingsi always felt that the White Snake was a little stupid.

Fortunately, its physical body grows faster than that of ordinary spirit beasts, which makes it more useful when clearing out miscellaneous soldiers on a large scale.

"Sit down, Lin."

Qingsi made a gesture of invitation.

Seeing that Qingsi was so polite, Nohara Lin felt uneasy.

"Lin, are you having any trouble?"

Kiyoshi asked knowingly.

Nohara Lin hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly.

She had heard public opinion in the village these past two days, and some of the voices were calling for Kakashi to return the Sharingan.

"It's...it's about Kakashi's Sharingan."

Nohara Lin whispered.

"This is the matter."

Qingsi pretended to suddenly understand.

But in his heart he thought that an Uchiha might have gone to find Kakashi and put too much pressure on him.

Moreover, except for the Uchiha, other ninja clans with bloodline limits are also very taboo about this kind of thing.

For example, the Hyuga clan, which is also a major clan in the art of eye techniques, has many members clamoring that Kakashi should return the Sharingan.

They don't want to see someone walking around with a white look on their face, so the door to transplanting bloodline limits must not be opened.

"Lin, you have to know that this matter is of great importance, and the people in the tribe are very concerned about it."

Qingsi drummed his fingers on the table.

He brought out the Uchiha clan's radical side of this matter.

Qingsi just selectively told some truths.

The clan members have always been concerned about this matter, but it is only because of the possibility that Uchiha will become Hokage that this expectation has relieved the dissatisfaction and pressure in their hearts.

If we don’t get what we want by then, I’m afraid there will only be a more intense backlash.

At this time, Honglian was wearing a clean little skirt and brought two cups of tea.

"Lord Seiji, tea."

"Tea ceremony has improved a lot, keep up the good work."

Kiyoshi took a small sip.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise crossed Honglian's little face, and she carefully took the plates and went to the kitchen.

Sensible children are better at observing people's words and expressions than ordinary people.

She knew when she could be in the living room with Seiji and when she couldn't.

Qingsi nodded in satisfaction.

It was worth it that he picked it up from outside.

No wonder Orochimaru chose Guren as his first container. This self-awareness is indeed good.

Nohara Lin felt ashamed when she heard this. She was too embarrassed to look at Qingsi or Honglian.

She knew that this matter was of great importance and that she should not look for Seiji, who was an Uchiha.

But when she thought of Kakashi's decadent look, Nohara Lin gritted her teeth and wanted Qingsi to say something good about the other Uchiha.

"I know, but that was Obito's last wish..."

Nohara Lin's tone was filled with pleading.

She really didn't want the bond between Kakashi and Obito to be broken like this.

I also want Kakashi to have the motivation to continue living.

She was really afraid that Kakashi would follow in his father's footsteps.

"Well, I'll try my best."

Qingsi said in embarrassment.

Whenever someone asks you to do something, you must act as if it is extremely difficult.

This is the best effect.

The innocent and kind-hearted Nohara Lin couldn't help feeling guilty when she saw Seiji's appearance.

Except for the time when Qingji first came to school, Nohara Lin helped Qingji learn some basics.

After that, it was Qingsi who helped her.

But she still bothered Qingsi like this.

Is there anything she can do to help Qingsi?

Questions flashed through Nohara Lin's mind.

"Qingsi, thank you."

Nohara Lin sincerely thanks you.

She finally raised her eyes and looked at Qingsi.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that Qingsi's eyes were a bit burning.

Nohara Lin, who has a beautiful appearance, has always been admired by people since she was a child.

She was very familiar with this look.

Suddenly, Nohara Lin recalled what Qingsi and Samui had done.

That scene that shocked my worldview is still deeply impressed.

Qingsi couldn't be...
