"Feel."

Bai Jue immediately replied.

"You seem different than usual, so I wanted to cheer you up. This is just my way of showing concern as a good friend. Isn't that what humans like?"

As Bai Jue spoke, he carefully recalled:

"Oh, it's called 'bond,' the bond between you and me!"

"……idiot."

Black Zetsu was speechless for a moment.

The biggest flaw of these androids is that they are all a bit "sharp-tongued" and like to criticize others. Perhaps because they are carefree, they are all very optimistic.

Back when Madara Uchiha was alive, these guys also liked to criticize him every day.

"At least I wouldn't go through that much trouble for a woman."

As White Zetsu spoke, he couldn't understand why Obito's reason for turning evil was actually Nohara Rin.

Madara's original plan was to have Obito's best friend Kakashi kill his beloved Rin Nohara, a fatal blow that would supposedly plunge Obito into darkness.

"Shut up."

Black Zetsu always felt that White Zetsu was making veiled attacks.

In a sense, his millennia-long scheming, and even the significance of his birth, were all for the purpose of rescuing a woman, his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Black Zetsu's words carried a hint of annoyance.

White Zetsu finally fell silent and stopped talking.

This gave Black Zetsu more time to think.

By this time, Kiyoshi had already gone far away, leaving not even a trace of his back.

Black Zetsu still emerged from the ground, his upper body still visible, looking in that direction.

He was wondering why he had to be so fixated on Asuras and Indras.

The Rinnegan has appeared in the world; the most important condition has been met.

All that's needed now is to choose someone who can truly utilize these "Rinnegan" eyes.

Given Kiyoshi's qualifications, he would surely be able to perfectly utilize these "Rinnegan" after transplanting them.

Its immense vitality is comparable to that of the Senju clan.

In addition, their Uchiha bloodline makes them much more adaptable to the Rinnegan than other outsiders.

What keeps Black Zetsu uncertain is whether Kiyoshi is actually regressing to his ancestral form.

"Most of the chakra and power in the ninja world comes from the mother. Kiyoshi's ability to awaken so many bloodline limits shows that he has a high compatibility. So, could he be from the Otsutsuki clan?"

Black Zetsu pondered in his heart.

His mother created him at the very moment he was about to be sealed away.

He didn't know much about the past, only that his mother was very wary of the Otsutsuki clan and that the clan would eventually arrive.

If Kiyoshi really possesses the same bloodline purity as his mother, wouldn't he be even more suitable as a vessel than Madara Uchiha?

Or perhaps we could recruit it as an aid in our fight against the Otsutsuki from outer space?

Black Zetsu: "Perhaps only Kiyoshi can accomplish my grand plan to save my mother?"

In his mind, he began to constantly compare Kiyoshi with Madara and Obito.

In terms of talent, Kiyoshi far surpasses them at the same age.

In terms of personality, the fact that he could become Hokage as an Uchiha speaks volumes.

However, this also makes it difficult for him to incite others.

……

Water Shadow Building.

The outside is marked with a distinctive Chinese character for "water".

After Kiyoshi went inside, he met the current Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi.

He smiled and gestured for Kiyoshi to sit down.

In theory, the two are of equal status.

"Young Hokage of Konoha, please have some tea."

Yagura ordered someone to bring out a cup of tea, showing no sign of a puppet.

Even Kiyoshi, judging from appearance alone, could not tell whether Yagura Karatachi was under a genjutsu.

To confirm, you need to check if the person has chakra of other colors in their ninja meridian system.

Alternatively, Kiyoshi could use "Perfect Sage Mode" to sense the chakra within Yagura's body.

Of course, he mainly relied on his foresight regarding the plot.

If Kiyoshi is like this, it's only natural that the people of Kirigakure are completely overwhelmed by Man.

This technique is ineffective in Konoha, where the Byakugan is present.

If Obito wanted to subdue some small ninja villages, he could have made a fortune with such genjutsu.

"This is a list of some trades."

Kiyoshi said.

Standing behind her, Uzuki Yugao immediately took out a document and placed it on the table of Karatachi Yagura.

At this moment, Kiyoshi and Yagura were sitting face to face, both on a leather sofa.

Separated by a glass coffee table, the only thing on it was the document that Uzuki Yugao had just placed there.

Yagura picked up the document and began to read it.

So-called trade is the exchange of various kinds of goods, as well as the "taxes" between goods.

Kiyoshi waited quietly for Yagura Karatachi to make his decision.

He wasn't in a hurry and expected to stay in Kirigakure for another two or three days.

An ordinary Hokage couldn't do what Kiyoshi did; he was busy enough with administrative duties alone.

Only someone like Kiyoshi could delegate government affairs to others without any psychological burden.

This was exactly what the Konoha leadership wanted; they were eager for Kiyoshi to relinquish power.

In particular, Kiyoshi knew that Shimura Danzo had been secretly plotting something.

The authorities did not intervene; instead, they engaged in entrapment.

He also knew about the "Bullhead King Project" regarding the new research on roots.

This thing caused Naruto and his friends a lot of trouble in Boruto.

If used in war, it would also be a good weapon.

What Kiyoshi is most concerned about is the alternate dimension included in this plan.

Danzo's secret technique came from Kaguya Otsutsuki.

He obtained it by chance from a certain ninja clan.

Danzo himself did not know that this was a secret technique left behind by Kaguya Otsutsuki; he only felt that at this time, space-time ninjutsu was something no weaker than the "Flying Thunder God Technique."

That's right. A thousand years ago, in addition to mass-producing White Zetsu into an army, Kaguya Otsutsuki was also researching space-time ninjutsu.

Once Shimura Danzo actually produced it, Kiyoshi planned to take it all down and accept the entire secret technique.

"That's all for today, Hokage."

As dusk fell, Yagura Karatachi stood up and said.

"Alright."

Kiyoshi then stood up.

"Ringo Ameyuri, take the Hokage to rest."

Yagura Karatachi spoke to a short woman behind him.

"Hokage, come with me."

Ringo Yuri deliberately drew out the last syllable, revealing her bright red mouth and gleaming white shark teeth.

Don't put roof tiles on your house for three days.

Kiyoshi knew that Ringo Ameyuri was asking for trouble again.

This woman knows she killed so many members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, yet she still acts so indifferent.

It's okay, he's best at dealing with stubborn women.

To meet force with force.

Shark teeth are sharp blades capable of piercing the skin of small creatures.

For Kiyoshi, they were merely props to enhance the atmosphere.

Even ninja tools struggled to break through Kiyoshi's defenses, let alone flesh-and-blood shark teeth.

"Ring Yuli is not allowed to be rude."

Master Yuan, who had been listening in, tapped the ground with his cane, his face showing a stern expression.

Speaking in such a drawn-out manner is undignified.

If Uchiha Kiyoshi gets angry because of this, it will not do Kirigakure any good.

“Master Yuan, I am a rather easygoing person, it’s nothing, I’m not that petty.”

Qing Si waved his hand.

If one person simply obeys, it becomes meaningless and lacks character.

He believes that perhaps Ringo Ameyuri, who has been under constant pressure from her illness, has instead developed an optimistic and open-minded outlook.

This can be seen from his calm acceptance of being sealed away at the end, and his throwing away of the "Thunder Blade Fang".

While eating candy, he laughed as he watched himself being buried underground.

……

night.

Kiyoshi and the others arrived at the most luxurious guest room in Kirigakure.

Inviting a movie star is just the most basic requirement.

"Get some rest, everyone."

Before closing the room, Kiyoshi gave instructions to the others.

"Aren't you responsible for guarding?"

Kakashi asked.

Isn't it too dangerous to just relax like this in Kirigakure?

"No need. Doing so will only start a war, and once again, the only one who can't sustain the war will be Kirigakure."

Kiyoshi was explaining a very simple principle.

Rat-proof device.

Unless the high-ranking members of Kirigakure were all drunk, they wouldn't do something so abstract.

Well, first of all, there are no members of the Kaguya clan among the high-ranking officials of Kirigakure.

Their clan were pure madmen, even more eager for battle than the Uchiha, and ultimately brought about their own destruction.

"Most importantly, believe in my abilities."

Kiyoshi said.

Theory is always just theory; truth is only the power we have.
