Kurenai Asano waved goodbye.

"Yes, I'm here to see Kiyoshi."

Nohara Lin spoke.

"I haven't seen Kakashi lately. Didn't he just come back from a mission in the Land of Rain with Kiyoshi and the others?"

Kurenai Yuhi started a conversation.

Rin Nohara is paying so much attention to Kakashi, she should know where he went, right?

"I don't know, maybe they're on a mission."

Nohara Lin shook her head.

She and Kakashi began to keep their distance.

Kakashi rarely came to see her, and she rarely went to see Kakashi either.

Since Kakashi doesn't like her, why should she presume to stay by his side?

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Kiyoshi has always been supporting her.

It's just that Kiyoshi's temper is a bit... strong.

"?"

A look of confusion appeared in Kurenai Yuhi's eyes.

Why did Rin Nohara's eyes stop shining when she talked about Kakashi?

When talking about Kiyoshi, her tone softened even more.

Something is wrong, very wrong.

Kurenai had a premonition that Seiji and Rin Nohara might be hiding something from her.

What brings you here to see me?

Kiyoshi pushed open the door and looked at the people standing in the doorway.

"I have a question about illusion magic that I'd like to ask you."

Kurenai Yuhi was the first to speak.

"No problem, come in all of you."

Kiyoshi opened the door wider and turned to walk into the inner room.

The remaining women entered the room, changed their shoes in the entryway, and then followed Qing Si inside.

A short while later, Kurenai finally saw the so-called Lady Silver Flower.

Even she had to admit that she was indeed quite beautiful and had the air of a noblewoman.

At this moment, Hinata Ginka is fanning herself with her hand.

Her fair face was flushed, and sweat stains were faintly visible on it.

"Kiyoshi, why aren't you turning on the fan?"

Kurenai found it strange.

Lady Yinhua is so hot, her clothes are practically sticking to her skin, why doesn't Qingsi turn on the fan?

He doesn't need to worry about the electricity bill.

"I wanted to do it this way; sweating helps to expel waste from the body."

When Hinata Ginka saw the women entering one after another, she spoke up to explain.

"Oh, is that so?"

Kurenai didn't dwell on the issue and quickly knelt down in front of the table.

They were using low tables belonging to the Qing Si (a government office), so they could only kneel and sit.

Fortunately, the tatami mats are very soft, so even when kneeling, it doesn't feel uncomfortable.

Kiyoshi sat down again next to Hinata Ginka, the two of them facing north.

Hyuga Natsu is to the east.

Nohara Rin is to the west.

Kurenai Yuhi faces south, towards Kiyoshi.

The low, square table began to fill with people.

"By the way, Lin, have you finished the thing I asked you to do before?"

After Kiyoshi sat down, he patted Hinata Ginka's buttocks.

Snapped.

Hyuga Ginka was startled and almost screamed again.

"It's all done."

Nohara Rin thought it was Kiyoshi who snapped his fingers, and took out a small memory chip from her ninja tool bag.

Konoha has LCD screens, surveillance systems, all sorts of machines and equipment, and even computers.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lin."

Kiyoshi accepted the memory device, which was smaller than a fingernail.

The technology in the ninja world is very advanced, and it did not stop developing during the Ninja World War; on the contrary, it developed even more rapidly.

Sometimes, writing with electronic devices is indeed more convenient than writing on scrolls with pen and paper.

"The ingredients here are all normal, right?"

"Everything is normal, except for one thing that I haven't figured out. There's some kind of substance that seems to absorb some kind of energy from the air."

"Nohara Rin said."

She felt it resembled the "immortal arts" that Kiyoshi had learned, but she had never actually studied it and couldn't make any hasty conclusions.

"That's it."

Kiyoshi knew what Nohara Rin was talking about.

This research is not much different from the results he had his puppet clones analyze at the Grass Country experimental base.

It was very clean inside, frighteningly clean.

Orochimaru didn't do anything inside.

However, Kiyoshi quickly realized what was happening.

Because of his influence, Orochimaru will probably want to make the cursed seal more stable.

In addition to this initial version, there wasn't enough time for Orochimaru to add his own elements, or to make the host of the cursed seal a vessel for his resurrection.

"In that case, we can begin planting the curse seal."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

He made a breakthrough in his research on extracting the core substances from cytokine cells and then de-assimilizing them with his own cells.

Based on the progress of the puppet clone, it should be completed within a week at the latest.

Once completed and undergoing clinical trials, Qingsi will be able to use it on himself.

This cursed reagent currently contains many characteristics of flying creatures.

Although Orochimaru did not give a specific name for this cursed seal, Kiyoshi had already guessed its effect: "Heavenly Curse Seal".

If it is the "Earth's Curse Seal," it should contain more characteristics of reptiles.

Both of these seals are of the same level of power, one focuses on the air and the other on the earth.

For example, Sasuke's cursed seal transformation resulted in the growth of wings, while Kimimaro's cursed seal transformation resulted in the growth of a tail, and so on.

"Kiyoshi, Kiyoshi, where is my illusion magic?"

Kurenai Yuhi voiced her doubts.

What puzzled her was "Magic Tree Binding Kill," which is one of the illusions that Kurenai Yuhi used most often in the original work.

"The secret to this technique actually lies in..."

Kiyoshi quickly explained the key points of "Magic Tree Binding Kill".

The official novel, "Konoha New Tales: The Soup and Smoke Ninja Scroll," mentions that this technique was a genjutsu created during the era of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

The original purpose was to make the opponent think that they were using Wood Release ninjutsu. This genjutsu was used to make the enemy fall into an illusion and mistakenly believe that their own people could use Wood Release ninjutsu.

This is actually a form of psychological intimidation; once the victim falls to the ground, it becomes very difficult to resist the illusion of the trees.

"Kiyoshi-kun, I'll be taking my leave now."

Seeing Seiji and Kurenai discussing illusions, Hinata Ginka couldn't wait to speak up.

"Then see you next time, Madam Silver Flower."

Kiyoshi said meaningfully.

Hinata Ginka shuddered and pretended nothing had happened as she went to the entrance to change her shoes.

“Red, this scroll contains my insights into illusion magic. Go back and take a look. If you still can’t understand it by tomorrow, come back to me.”

"Um, okay."

In fact, Kurenai wanted Seiji to teach her a little longer, but since Seiji had said so, she couldn't keep bothering him.

"As for Lin, she can stay here. I have some things I'd like to discuss with you."

Qingsi said calmly.

Nohara Rin's eyes flickered, and she instantly understood Kiyoshi's true meaning.

Her earlobes were red, and she lowered her eyes, remaining silent.

Hinata Ginka, who had just changed her shoes, paused in her movements and turned to look at Nohara Rin.

She had a feeling that the girl in front of her also had a complicated relationship with Qing Si.

……

"Yinhua, I've come to pick you up."

Just as Hinata Ginka stepped out, Hinata Nobuhiko came to greet her.

Just then, I saw that behind Hinata Ginka were Yuhi Kurenai and Guren.

His impression of Kiyoshi immediately improved.

He even knew to bring other women along to avoid suspicion.

After all, if a man and a woman are alone together, there is indeed a possibility of gossip, which is something the Hyuga clan is particularly careful about.

"Let's go see the fireworks, they're about to start."

Upon seeing Hyuga Ginka emerge with a rosy complexion, Hyuga Nobuhiko was first stunned by her beauty, then quickly scratched his head to hide his embarrassment.

"I... am not feeling well and want to go back."

Hinata Ginka made a troubled expression on her face.

"You're not feeling well... there's nothing we can do about it."

Hyuga Nobuhiko sighed, deciding to take Hyuga Ginka back with him.

"No, let's go."

After a long while, Hinata Ginka suddenly spoke up.

Perhaps it was seeing Hinata Nobuhiko's disappointed expression that made her feel extremely guilty.

"it is good."

Hinata Nobuhiko was surprised that Ginka would agree again, and immediately nodded happily.

The two gradually left the Uchiha settlement and disappeared under the neon lights to watch the fireworks.
