Naruto: Uchiha is not the Raikage!

A semi-transparent status panel appeared before Kiyoshi's eyes.

He obtained this status not long after attempting to walk on water.

The progress bar was already at 25%.

If he continued for another four days, he should obtain [Water Walker (White)].

"It can be even shorter."

Kiyoshi closed the panel and continued to squeeze his body, refining chakra.

As a mixed-blood of the Night Moon and Uchiha clans, he possessed more chakra than others.

The Uchiha clan was inherently a clan with a large amount of chakra.

Those who could surpass the Uchiha were only the Senju and Uzumaki clans, described in the official databook as clans "possessing an extremely large amount of chakra."

However, besides the Uchiha bloodline, Kiyoshi had another advantage over other Uchiha: the Night Moon clan!

Known for their Body Flicker Technique and adaptation to lightning release, their physical energy was naturally abundant.

Kiyoshi could train for longer periods than others.

Chakra is a mixture of mental and physical energy; continuous physical training increases chakra.

This process tempers the will and gradually strengthens the body.

Sometimes, it's not that others don't want to continue training, but their chakra depletes quickly.

This is the... "limit."

Commoner ninjas can see the extent of their achievements with a single glance, despite their best efforts.

The strongest among them is Might Guy, who opens the Gate of Death, burning all his chakra to pursue a fleeting moment to catch up with those born at the top.

Those descendants who have the blood of Otsutsuki flowing in their veins.

Kiyoshi was fortunate to belong to the latter.

Calculating from his ancestors, the source was also Kaguya Otsutsuki.

The night breeze blew, with only one figure walking on the water's surface.

The ceaseless river also carried away the sweat flowing from Kiyoshi's body.

...

Land of Lightning, Hidden Cloud Village.

In one of the valleys, a waterfall cascaded down, its thunderous roar echoing incessantly.

At the base of the waterfall, a dark-skinned man emerged from the water, his bare upper body revealing a "Lightning" tattoo on his right shoulder.

"Any news, Dotai?"

The Third Raikage looked at Dotai, who was walking over, wearing a black hat and an eye patch covering his right eye.

This was his most trusted confidant.

"Yes, Kiyoshi Yotsuki contacted our ninja planted in Konoha a few days ago. Samota's report is very detailed."

"Very good, this matter must not be lost."

The Third Raikage patted Dotai's shoulder, his palm, larger than Dotai's head, gently tapping his shoulder.

"Yes."

Dotai respectfully nodded to the broad-shouldered, muscular man who looked as if he were cast from steel.

"Have you investigated his lineage?"

The Third Raikage spoke again, his dark upper lip moving constantly, emitting a coarse voice.

"It has been investigated."

Dotai presented a scroll.

The Third Raikage opened it and frowned slightly.

"Is he related to the Second?"

Kiyoshi Yotsuki was born in a small place called Mizukumo Gorge and inherited the talent of the Yotsuki clan.

His branch family had weak ninja in the father's generation, so they went out to manage the Yotsuki clan's stores abroad.

Upon closer inspection, this Kiyoshi Yotsuki is also related to the Second Raikage!

He is a distant "nephew."

The Second Raikage was also a member of the Yotsuki clan.

He was the only Yotsuki clan member among their generations of Raikage.

The First Raikage and himself had dark upper lips, but the Second Raikage did not.

However, all of them had dark skin and broad shoulders, so everyone felt they looked similar.

"He is an Uchiha, which will not affect the inheritance of the next Raikage."

Dotai said.

The Third Raikage has a son, who is already considered the next Raikage-in-waiting and can already call himself "A".

The waterfall crashed against the water's surface, splashing and creating a hazy mist.

Dotai couldn't see the Third Raikage's face clearly.

"His bloodline limit is important to the village, bring him back as soon as possible."

"Yes, Third Raikage-sama."

...

Several days passed.

Autumn rain drizzled, the sky was gloomy, bringing a hint of coolness.

"Excuse me, Kiyoshi."

"Is there something you need, Mikoto-nee?"

Kiyoshi opened the courtyard gate, holding an umbrella.

This was Mikoto's third visit since bringing Yakushi Nonou the last time.

He remembered the first time Mikoto led him back, the sky was also so gloomy.

"Isn't today a school day? Fugaku asked me to invite you to gather, everyone is a clan member, we should gather more often."

Under the umbrella, a gentle face was revealed, with delicate features.

Today, Mikoto was not wearing her ninja combat uniform, but a set of ordinary casual clothes.

Ninja is actually a job.

There are missions that must be carried out, and there are corresponding holidays.

During holidays, there is no need to wear ninja combat uniforms all the time.

Mikoto's ordinary casual clothes could not hide her graceful figure.

Black hair lined with white clothes, even in the gloomy light, the fair skin still looked radiant.

Kiyoshi looked like he was deeply moved, and agreed to go.

The two held umbrellas, walking one after the other on the streets of the Uchiha settlement.

A casual glance showed that many places had the mark of the flame fan.

...

Fugaku's house was not closed.

Mikoto led Kiyoshi to the back courtyard, where there was a large open space.

Boom!

Fugaku opened his mouth and spat out a fiery fireball, more than three meters in the air.

Strands of raindrops turned into water vapor instantly when they encountered the fireball.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

Kiyoshi's eyes narrowed, this was the signature ninjutsu of the Uchiha, almost every Uchiha ninja knew it.

"You've arrived."

Fugaku looked at the two, one tall and one short.

"What are you training outside in the rain for? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

Mikoto chided.

"Hahaha, I am 'Fugaku of the Evil Eye', how could I catch a cold so easily."

Fugaku's heart warmed at Mikoto's concern.

The fireball in the air suddenly dissipated, leaving a little warmth.

"Let's go inside."

He just had an itch to practice this move, the time was short, and he didn't get much rain.

He turned and walked into the house.

"Kiyoshi, have you been adapting well at the ninja school these days?"

Fugaku stood on the veranda, looking at the boy behind Mikoto.

"Very well."

Kiyoshi said.

He put down the umbrella and leaned it on the veranda.

This place can also be called a corridor.

"There are shoes here."

Fugaku pointed in one direction.

"Okay."

Kiyoshi changed his shoes and stepped onto the wooden board.

Mikoto changed her shoes before Kiyoshi, waiting for Kiyoshi to change before the three went in together.

"These are all what I asked Mikoto to make, Kiyoshi, try them."

As soon as he entered the house, Kiyoshi saw the table full of delicacies.

The air smelled of food.

"Mikoto-nee's craftsmanship is very good."

Kiyoshi said with emotion.

Thinking in his heart, have the two's relationship reached this point?

Is this a situation of less than lovers, more than friends?

"Yes, Fugaku kept asking me, that's why I came."

Mikoto smiled.

This was actually her first time coming to Fugaku's house.

The Uchiha were a large clan, and the rules were not as strict as the Hyuga clan, but more than ordinary families.

The two had not yet confirmed their relationship, so naturally they could not do these shameless things.

If it weren't for Kiyoshi as a reason, Mikoto wouldn't have come to Fugaku's place today.

Unless the relationship has been determined.
