"What did Lord Kiyoshi go in there for?"

Uchiha Hikaru asked.

A hint of curiosity appeared on her indifferent, cold face.

"It's probably about collaborating with Cloud Village or something, but I'm not too sure."

Silent shook her head.

Then she looked up at Uchiha Hikaru.

She always felt that Uchiha Hikaru seemed to be more emotionally detached than other Uchiha.

I don't know where Kiyoshi found Uchiha Hikaru.

"Cooperation……"

Uchiha Hikaru glanced at the tent, but didn't think about it any further.

"Are we on night watch tonight?"

Uchiha Hikaru asked.

She's gotten used to doing this.

During the Warring States period, such tasks often fell to her.

"Kiyoshi said there's no need for night watch; his senses will remain active, and he'll let us know as soon as someone enters."

Silent lane.

Kiyoshi's sensory abilities are terrifying; if he were to become a sensory ninja, he would probably be among the most powerful.

Even when they were on night watch, their efficiency was far inferior to that of Qing Si.

In that case, it's better to get some rest and avoid being slowed down by traveling during the day.

"it is good."

Uchiha Hikaru nodded.

"By the way, what kind of person is Lord Kiyoshi?"

The campfire illuminated the faces of the two girls.

The centenarian Uchiha Hikaru asked Shizune with a question.

She is no longer a weapon of war, but just an ordinary subordinate.

Lady Kiyoshi said that she is free except when she is on a mission.

The word "freedom" was unfamiliar to Uchiha Hikaru.

But since he was determined to do something different from the past, Uchiha Hikaru decided to listen to what Kiyoshi was like in the past.

"Let's start with his time at the Ninja Academy. Kiyoshi was very hardworking back then..."

Jingyin nodded. She was bored anyway, and it was too early to rest now.

She was still excited about experiencing the different customs and cultures of the Land of Thunder, so she began to explain at length.

……

the next day.

As dawn broke, Tsunade opened her eyes.

She didn't actually get a good rest last night.

It wasn't Kiyoshi snoring, nor was it Kiyoshi moving around in his sleep.

None of these phenomena were observed; on the contrary, the Qing Si was very quiet.

But Tsunade still felt uneasy.

For some reason, she wanted to take off her sleeping bag and lie down next to Kiyoshi.

This idea startled Tsunade.

So she spent the night half-asleep, staring at the ceiling of the tent.

"Tsunade-sensei, you don't look very energetic."

Kiyoshi opened his eyes and looked at Tsunade, who was crawling out of her sleeping bag.

"Hmph, who do you think is at fault?"

With each movement of Tsunade, people's hearts swayed.

"Then I'll try to cheer Lady Tsunade up."

Kiyoshi reached his hand behind Tsunade's neck.

The slightly cool hand made Tsunade shiver involuntarily.

Just as Tsunade was about to say that Seiji had taken advantage of her again, she suddenly felt a gentle chakra flowing from her neck into her body's meridian system.

She also felt refreshed and invigorated, and her spirits immediately lifted.

"Alright, it's time to go out."

As Tsunade spoke, she first poked her head out of the tent.

Only after confirming that no one was inside did they leave.

"What about silence and light?"

Tsunade asked.

“There is a river 500 meters to the east, where they washed up.”

Kiyoshi said.

"We'll go too."

As Tsunade spoke, she walked forward.

Kiyoshi followed along and soon encountered Shizune and Uchiha Hikaru.

"Lord Seiji."

Uchiha Mitsuki Seiji came out and spoke softly.

Qing Si nodded slightly.

Shizune's expression was somewhat strange.

Last night, she thought Kiyoshi had just gone to Tsunade's tent to discuss things for a while. Even after she told Uchiha Hikaru about Kiyoshi's past until very late, she still hadn't seen Kiyoshi come out.

When she and Uchiha Hikaru got up in the morning, Shizune found that no one was sleeping in Kiyoshi's tent.

In other words, Kiyoshi stayed in Tsunade's tent for one night.

What are a lone man and woman doing here?

Silently, she dared not think about it anymore.

She was afraid that Lady Tsunade would get angry later.

Tsunade noticed the subtle change in Shizune's expression, tried to remain calm, and pretended to be nonchalant as she fetched water to wash up.

In this subtle atmosphere, everyone finished washing up.

"Just keep on your way."

Tsunade broke the silence.

"Let's go, we'll go from the Land of Iron."

Kiyoshi said.

After eating some dry rations, packing up their tents, and extinguishing the campfire, the group set off again.

…………

And on the other side.

Hidden in the Village of Waterfalls, nestled beneath countless waterfalls in the Land of Waterfalls, an unexpected guest arrives.

The waterfall curtain outside Takigakure Village was suddenly cut open, splashing up countless water droplets.

Two figures slowly stepped in, causing ripples to spread across the water beneath their feet.

A ninja wearing a black robe with red clouds and a ring on his finger appeared before the ninjas of Takigakure.

"You are……?"

Shibuki, the leader of Takigakure Village, looked warily at the group of people in front of him.

They did not invite any visiting ninjas.

Such an unannounced visit is tantamount to provoking Takigakure Village.

A gourd was wrapped around his waist, and inside the gourd sloshed a translucent liquid, which was "Hero's Water".

After years of honing his skills, Shibuki is no longer the timid and fearful boy he once was.

This responsibility as the leader of Takigakure Village forced Shibuki to mature.

"be careful."

The current Seven-Tails Jinchuriki frowned.

He experienced both the Second Shinobi World War and the Third Shinobi World War.

He recognized the identities of the two people in front of him.

The pale-faced man with magatama earrings and purple markings on his face was clearly Orochimaru, an S-rank rogue ninja from Konoha and one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha.

Standing next to him was a young man with a refined but lifeless face, whose face even had some strange cracks, like the cracks in dried soil.

After carefully identifying the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, he was shocked to discover that it was none other than Kato Dan, the Konoha ninja who had already been confirmed to have died!

"The dead have been resurrected. Is this a forbidden technique of the Second Hokage?"

The Seven-Tails Jinchuriki frowned deeply.

Rumors circulate in the ninja world that the New Akatsuki organization is secretly digging up graves everywhere.

They resurrected the deceased buried in the graves using forbidden techniques that desecrated the dead, and it is said that the New Akatsuki organization even attacked Konoha.

However, those resurrected ninjas were all dealt with swiftly by Konoha's Fourth Hokage, Uchiha Kiyoshi.

"What do you want to do? If you don't leave Takigakure Village, we will consider it an invasion!"

The Seven-Tailed Jinchuuriki shouted.

Golden scales faintly appeared around him, and butterfly-like wings sprouted from his back.

This is precisely a manifestation of using the power of the Seven-Tails, Jōmei.

Borrow Chakra Mode!

"You make the move, break it."

Orochimaru looked at Kato Dan.

Kato Dan's "Spirit Transformation Technique" is an extremely rare technique that can directly transform the caster into a spirit, allowing them to possess and kill enemies regardless of distance.

As long as you protect your body during this process, it will be difficult for the enemy to break through.

"it is good."

Kato nodded.

Kato Dan formed hand seals, and an invisible spirit instantly left his body, attacking the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki at a speed beyond visual perception.

The art of spiritualization!

His own body, however, collapsed directly next to Orochimaru.

The Impure World Body can be considered an epic-level enhancement for Kato Dan.

This allowed his only weakness, his physical fragility, to be exploited.

"Enemy attack!"

The Seven-Tails Jinchuriki raised an eyebrow. Fortunately, when borrowing the Tailed Beast's chakra, the Jinchuriki's various abilities would increase. He barely saw Kato Dan's movements and then dodged to the left.
