Chapter 214 Kiyoshi vs. Madara, Mikoto's Concern (6k)
"hiss……"
Kakashi's wound, which had not yet fully healed, reopened.
He instinctively covered his wound.
Scenes of Nohara Rin bandaging him flashed through his mind.
"it is good."
Kakashi nodded hastily, then followed the people who had abducted Nohara Rin.
"Don't even think about leaving!"
Two sharp blades appeared on the wrist, which was wrapped in white bandages, and gleamed coldly in the dappled sunlight of the bamboo forest.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Uchiha Inahi quickly formed hand seals and spat out a fireball to block the flames that were trying to stop Kakashi.
"Don't just stand there!"
"Uchiha Inahi shouted."
The younger Uchiha Tetsuka snapped out of his daze and followed suit, forming hand seals.
He flung out a shuriken, then spat out flames, imbuing the shuriken with fire.
Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!
The two used fire-style ninjutsu to force the flames to slam into the ground, creating an earthen wall to block them.
Bang!
"These two Uchiha are nothing to worry about."
Huoguang realized this as soon as he took over.
The two Uchiha in front of me are clearly not strong enough. Even if the two of them work together, they cannot break through my earthen wall. It is only a matter of time before I defeat them.
"The only one we need to be careful of is the other Uchiha."
The firelight drew his gaze toward Kiyoshi.
This Uchiha refined a large amount of chakra during the battle, and the faint chakra fluctuations emanating from it made Huoguang's heart tremble.
What an enormous amount of chakra!
Even he was among the best Jonin in Iwagakure in terms of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu.
But there isn't that much chakra.
He didn't understand why an Uchiha would have such a large amount of chakra.
Could it be a child born from a cross between the Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan?
Huoguang knew that Konoha had many ninja clans, but he didn't know the specifics and could only speculate.
"That unfamiliar teammate should be able to stop it, right?"
In the dim light of the fire, a crimson glint flashed in the eyes of the unfamiliar Iwagakure ninja.
A piece of intelligence came to mind.
These are ninjas sent by their superiors to support Kannabi Bridge.
Huoguang turned his head and looked at Uchiha Tetsuka and Uchiha Inahi.
"Earth Release: Earthquake Core!"
Huo Guang formed a hand seal with his hands, and the blade on his wrist trembled with the movement of the seal.
Rumble!
Guided by his chakra, a thick, square earthen wall rose up, with the walls overlapping each other.
"What does he want to do?"
Uchiha Tetsuka said warily.
"It seems they're trying to trap us."
Uchiha Inahi replied.
"Is everything alright with Kiyoshi?"
Uchiha Tetsuka saw the flames suddenly rushing towards him and quickly dealt with them.
After only a few exchanges, they were already showing signs of being overwhelmed.
The rice fire beside them quickly came to their aid, creating a two-against-one situation.
"Kiyoshi is much stronger than us. Focus on dealing with the enemy."
Dao Huo hurriedly spoke.
On the other side.
"Earth Escape Technique: Earthquake Core..."
Kiyoshi jumped up and stood on the wall.
A strange ninja dressed as an Iwa ninja was also standing on the wall opposite them.
next moment.
Kiyoshi disappeared from the spot.
Only a few pale blue figures flickered with arcs of electricity in the air.
Lightning Release: Lightning Instantaneous Body!
Kiyoshi, after mastering the "Lightning Release Chakra Mode," can also use this ninjutsu.
This can be done by channeling Lightning Release chakra into the lower limbs.
In the blink of an eye, the person opposite raised their hand.
Bang!
The shockwave from the impact erupted from where the two objects met.
"You have good strength."
Ban's wooden clone looked at the stone chips that had formed on his hands and smiled.
The Uchiha clan has such a descendant.
If Kiyoshi's mind were a little simpler, a little purer.
He will choose Kiyoshi to carry out the Eye of the Moon Project.
Unfortunately, the stronger one's psychological resilience, the worse their aptitude.
Kiyoshi's ability to activate the three-tomoe gem is probably his limit.
"Earth Release: Rock Pillar Spear".
The soil around Madara Uchiha surged, and in an instant, more than a dozen thick earth spikes pierced out of the soil.
"Madara's strength..."
Kiyoshi used the high mobility brought by "Lightning Release Chakra Mode" to instantly dodge and turn backward.
"This is not Madara's true form."
Kiyoshi secretly said.
He was just testing the waters.
If it were Madara's true form, Kiyoshi would turn and run.
But since it's clearly just a clone right now, we can give it a try.
He also wanted to know what level he was at now.
"Lightning Release: Black Thousand Bones."
Kiyoshi raised his fingertip, and in an instant, black arcs of electricity swirled around it, shooting out from his fingertip.
Whoosh!
The black arcs of electricity, faintly stirring up shockwaves, rapidly moved towards Madara Uchiha.
"Interesting, is this the technique of that brat Second and Third Raikage?"
Madara Uchiha knew that Kiyoshi had half the blood of the Yotsuki clan.
One can't help but admire Kiyoshi as a lightning-style ninja with exceptional talent.
The "Lightning Release Chakra Mode" developed by the Second Raikage and the Black Lightning Release developed by the Third Raikage both appeared on Kiyoshi at this moment.
This naturally explains why Qing Si is far more talented than ordinary people in this field.
"But... kid, you're too slow."
Madara Uchiha dodged the black arc of electricity by tilting his head to the side.
He had fought countless times with Tobirama Senju, who was revered as the fastest ninja in the world.
They have accumulated extensive experience in speed-based ninjutsu.
Without activating the Sharingan, one can dodge using only the body's fighting instincts.
"yes."
Kiyoshi's lips curled up slightly.
Madara Uchiha felt something was amiss.
He immediately frowned, quickly recalling the scenes he had just witnessed.
Black electric arc... black...
The technique is listed above!
Madara Uchiha instinctively tried to use the "Body Flicker Technique" to jump away.
Unfortunately, his reaction was a step too slow.
Kiyoshi's figure disappeared again.
When it reappeared, it was already behind Madara.
And the location was exactly where the black electric arc had passed!
boom!
The ninja sword, crackling with lightning and flames, slashed at Madara Uchiha's bare right arm.
puff.
His right arm fell off.
It is neither wood nor flesh and blood.
Instead, it was a puddle of yellow mud.
Kiyoshi looked again and saw that Madara Uchiha's body had turned into yellow mud and gradually collapsed to the ground.
"The Earth Release technique of 'Substitution Jutsu'?"
As if sensing something, Qing Si looked towards the bamboo grove thirty meters away.
Madara Uchiha appeared there.
"Kid, I almost got hurt by your chop when I wasn't careful."
Madara Uchiha dusted himself off.
This wooden clone is completely unable to unleash the full power of the original body.
Both physical strength and chakra reserves were limited.
Caught off guard, he was almost injured by Kiyoshi's attack.
"You've also mastered the second generation's 'Flying Thunder God Technique,' and even developed your own unique variations upon it."
Appreciate Madara Uchiha's tone.
It just so happens that he hasn't enjoyed fighting for far too long.
Now that he's confined to the body of his wooden clone, he can finally experience the long-lost thrill of battle.
"You're qualified to be Hashirama's inferior replacement."
Madara Uchiha formed a hand seal, and an earth dragon emerged from the ground.
Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!
After the soil formed the shape of an earthen dragon, it continued to spew out sticky yellow mud.
Kiyoshi gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and began to fight Madara Uchiha relentlessly.
In order to disguise himself as a Hidden Stone Village ninja, Madara Uchiha used Earth Release ninjutsu instead of his preferred Fire Release and other ninjutsu.
This actually benefited the Qing Dynasty.
Fighting against such a powerful opponent will surely yield great rewards.
…………
"Kakashi!"
Obito shouted in alarm.
"Waaaaah... my eyes!"
Kakashi fell to the ground, covering his left eye.
There, the eyelid and eyeball were cut with a deep gash by the blade.
It is foreseeable that Kakashi's left eye will be completely ruined.
"That guy is really tough to deal with; you can't even see him."
Kakashi and the others endured the pain, looking at the red earth merging into the darkness before them.
Like the big rock, the red soil can use "Ninja Art: Camouflage Concealment".
When he arrived, he saw Obito frantically waving kunai in the darkness, with blood flowing out from time to time.
Nohara Rin lay down with her back against the wall, unaware of what had happened.
In his haste, Kakashi drew his short sword to support Obito.
He helped Obito take a blow.
The price he paid was his left eye.
"Kakashi..."
Obito felt bad for Kakashi, who had shielded him from the attack.
Perhaps Kakashi and the others are right.
I can never compare to Kiyoshi.
However, he did not believe that he would ever be inferior to Kiyoshi!
The world in Obito's eyes turned crimson, and he awakened his Sharingan once more.
He had once opened his eyes under the Nanga Shrine because of Kiyoshi's imposing aura.
However, Obito later discovered that he could not replicate the feeling at that time; his Sharingan was as if it had only been temporarily activated and could not be fully opened.
Right now... Obito has finally truly mastered the power of the Sharingan.
The jet-black magatama spun continuously, squeezing out a second magatama.
Two-tomoe Sharingan!
Obito saw Kurotsuchi running towards him and used a kunai to block Kurotsuchi's katana.
As Hongtu was stunned, he swung his other hand out with a shuriken.
The four corners of the shuriken spun, slicing across the neck of the red clay.
Hot blood was spilled all over the ground.
"Huff huff..."
He was panting heavily.
"Obito, your eyes have become just like Kiyoshi's."
Kakashi stood up from the ground, trembling as he clutched the hilt of the short sword.
"This is the Sharingan! Just now I was able to see the activity and flow of chakra, and even the enemy's hiding place!"
Obito looked excited.
He now possesses power equal to that of Uchiha Kiyoshi!
That guy's left eye is only one tomoe higher than his. If he practices more, he can definitely turn both eyes into three-tomoe Sharingan.
Surpassing that guy Uchiha Kiyoshi!
"What's wrong with Lin now?"
After defeating the enemy, Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief and asked about Obito and Rin's situation.
After all, Obito has now awakened his Sharingan and can see the flow of chakra in the human body.
"Rin's chakra flow is very chaotic, unlike your and my chakra activity. She's probably using genjutsu. It seems we're just one step away from getting information out of her."
Obito looked terrified.
If Kakashi or someone else had arrived any later, the consequences for Rin after she was tortured and forced to reveal information would have been unimaginable.
"Dispel Lin's illusion."
Kakashi's left eye was still bleeding, but his condition had improved considerably.
"I...I don't know how."
Obito scratched his head.
He is not yet proficient in many of the Sharingan's abilities, and he cannot even unleash "Sharingan Genjutsu." He needs an adaptation period.
"...You're really far inferior to Kiyoshi, Obito."
Kakashi was speechless.
"Hey, why are you bringing up that annoying guy again?"
Obito retorted.
Kakashi ignored Obito and, after regaining some of his strength, went to Rin Nohara's side.
He used "Illusion Release" on Lin.
Even skilled ninjas, if not proficient in genjutsu, will know basic methods to dispel it.
This is the way to survive.
"Kakashi, Obito."
Nohara Rin opened her eyes and was relieved to see that both of them were still alive.
Then she noticed the condition of Kakashi's left eye and quickly asked what happened. She took out a bandage from her medical kit and bandaged Kakashi's eye.
As the group was talking, a white figure emerged from a corner of the cave.
"Oh dear, I still need to finish up a bit."
White Zetsu began forming hand seals.
Earth Escape·Rock House Collapse!
Rumble.
Inside the cave, the stone walls were collapsing one after another, and loose rocks were falling down.
"!"
The group of people who were still talking were suddenly startled.
"Everyone, run to the exit!"
Kakashi shouted.
As he was running, a rock suddenly hit his shoulder from the blind spot of his left eye, slowing Kakashi down.
A huge rock fell from above his head, but he was suddenly unaware of it.
Upon seeing this, Obito quickly pushed Kakashi away.
Bang!
The collapsed cave covered everything.
Kakashi and Rin Nohara escaped, while Obito was half-buried under a rock.
"Obito!"
Kakashi tried to push the stone, but found that he couldn't budge it at all.
Nohara Rin also looked heartbroken and didn't know what to do.
"If... if I had listened to you or Kiyoshi earlier, this wouldn't have happened."
Kakashi said remorsefully, pounding the ground to vent his immense distress.
"...Kakashi, the Jonin gift I'm giving you is...the Sharingan."
Obito spat out a mouthful of blood.
"I'm about to die, but I can still become your eyes to see the future and protect Lin for me..."
…………
"Lightning Release: Wind and Thunder Net!"
Kiyoshi raised his hand and released a dense array of tree-shaped lightning bolts, which, along with a gust of wind, enveloped the area.
The black "Flying Thunder God Technique" mark kept moving across the lightning net.
Kiyoshi's figure also kept dodging and shifting within these lightning nets.
This is a combination ninjutsu he used, combining Wind Release and Lightning Release.
At crucial moments, he would use the "Flying Thunder God Technique" to teleport.
Madara Uchiha's pupils moved constantly within their sockets, even taking on a hint of crimson.
The faint crimson was well concealed by the wooden branch, making it appear as a normal eyeball.
"Sacrificing long-term stability in exchange for ultimate speed."
Madara Uchiha was dealing with Kiyoshi while mentally commenting on him.
The usual "Flying Thunder God Technique" is on a kunai, and the user will teleport to the place where there is a kunai.
Kiyoshi, however, took a different approach, focusing on unstable "substances" like lightning.
Because the lightning created by chakra is essentially a change in the nature of chakra, rather than pure energy lightning from nature.
Therefore, the "Hungry Ghost Path" can absorb ninjutsu such as wind and lightning releases from chakra, but it cannot absorb hurricanes and lightning from nature.
Madara Uchiha had a deep understanding of the Rinnegan and immediately guessed the strengths and weaknesses of Kiyoshi's technique.
Knowing something is one thing, but being able to do it is another.
The "Flying Thunder God Technique" alone is extremely difficult to learn, and it is even more incredible to mark the "Flying Thunder God Technique Formula" on a lightning release.
"A very interesting idea."
Cracks appeared on the skin beneath Uchiha Madara's combat uniform, and they grew deeper and deeper.
The speed at which he fought against Kiyoshi was also increasing.
"It's a success."
Suddenly, Madara Uchiha, who was fighting Kiyoshi, looked up and glanced into the distance.
"I hope you live long enough to give me a moment of pure joy."
Madara Uchiha looked at Kiyoshi with admiration.
If Kiyoshi can live long enough for his successful resurrection, then he will be able to enjoy a real battle.
Given Kiyoshi's talent, he will likely not stagnate but continue to grow.
After saying that, Madara Uchiha merged into the ground.
Kiyoshi took a breath and released the lightning chakra from his body.
There's only one outcome if they continue fighting: he'll win.
Madara Uchiha's clone's chakra diminishes with each use.
However, his own chakra is constantly replenished, and as long as he is not instantly killed, he can wear down Madara Uchiha.
"It seems like Obito's side is done."
Qing Si muttered to himself.
Looking back, Dao Huo and Tie Huo were still struggling to stay afloat in the distance.
Kiyoshi swallowed a soldier's ration pill to restore his chakra, then raised his hand and shot out black arcs of electricity.
"What?!"
Huo Guang was startled.
A cold wind suddenly appeared on the back of my neck.
He hadn't sensed anyone approaching at all, nor had he felt any fluctuation of chakra.
The black arc of electricity that brushed past him didn't touch him!
puff.
Firelight's chest was pierced by a ninja sword.
"Seiji."
Tie Huo exclaimed in surprise.
"You took care of the other person?"
"He escaped."
Kiyoshi shook his head.
This battle with Madara Uchiha also served as a chance for him to review and consolidate what he had learned.
Many of his ninjutsu techniques still have room for improvement.
The durability of Lightning Release should also be developed, so that more coordinate points can be left behind.
Constantly refining chakra to create lightning release greatly depletes his chakra reserves.
Moreover, the "Flying Thunder God Technique" is a major drain on chakra.
"I wonder if things will change after I learn immortal arts."
Kiyoshi secretly said.
He sealed the ninja sword in a sealing scroll and called Tetsuka and Inahi to go with him.
When they arrived, only Kakashi and Rin Nohara were there.
The cave where Obito was located collapsed further, and even his body could not be found.
The story unfolds just like in the original, with dozens of ninjas guarding the Mubi Bridge sensing the commotion and going to attack Kakashi.
Minato Namikaze then teleported here using the coordinates left on his specially made kunai.
They wiped out the group of Iwagakure ninja who couldn't escape in time.
The Kannabi Bridge, a crucial point in Iwagakure Village, was thus breached.
Night falls.
Kakashi woke up only after being exhausted and having received a Sharingan transplant.
"here it is?"
Kakashi opened his eyes, and the sudden increase in his left eye's perception made everything around him feel slower.
"You're awake, Kakashi."
With his back against a large tree, Kiyoshi put away his things while flipping through the scrolls.
"What happened?"
"Lord Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique to rescue you and Rin, and also wiped out all the Iwa ninja who had been lured out of this area."
Kiyoshi said calmly.
The so-called ninjas are just a group of blood-stained murderers.
Minato Namikaze was no exception. No matter how gentle he seemed, he would kill all the enemies on the front lines before he had time to use space-time ninjutsu to return.
"How did Minato-sensei get back here...?"
Kakashi, who had just woken up, was still a little dazed.
After a short while, he stopped talking.
To move using the "Flying Thunder God Technique," you must first leave a mark and obtain the coordinates before you can teleport.
What coordinates could possibly allow Minato Namikaze, who is tens of kilometers away, to get back here?
There is only one answer...
Kakashi's eyes dimmed.
Kiyoshi stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
In the original story, it's understandable that Kakashi would fall into corruption within the Anbu and numb himself with cold-blooded, ruthless killing.
The darkness in his heart caught the attention of Hiruzen Sarutobi, and he was even almost bewitched by Danzo Shimura, who secretly sneaked in to look through the documents stored in the Hokage Building.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't caught him red-handed and given him a piece of his mind, it's hard to say what the final outcome would have been.
When someone engages in extreme behavior, we should consider the reasons behind it.
"Kakashi, are you awake?"
Minato Namikaze saw Kakashi get up and walk towards him.
The eight-person team is all here right now.
Rin Nohara was cleaning the medical kit, preparing to change the bandages for Kakashi, Tetsuka, and Inahisa.
Dao Huo and Tie Huo sat by the river, grimacing as they carefully ate their rice balls to avoid reopening the wounds on their arms.
Mikoto was starting a fire to cook rice; it was safe here now.
The Kannabi Bridge was captured, and the bridge beams and all the logistical supplies left there by the enemy were destroyed.
"So...the enemy has been taken by the teacher..."
"I've taken care of them all."
Minato Namikaze rotates the special kunai in his fingers, which has a circle at the tip of the handle that can accommodate his index finger.
"We'll leave first thing tomorrow morning, and the village ninjas will take over here."
Minato Namikaze said.
"Jonin Minato, I want to stay in the Land of Grass for a while to avenge Obito."
"Qing Si suddenly said."
The so-called revenge for Obito was, of course, just a pretext.
Obito is probably still lying in some underground cave, and White Zetsu is transplanting Hashirama's artificial limbs into him.
He stayed here for only one purpose: to see Karin's mother.
During the war, Kiyoshi did try to find out more information.
Through his time with Ringo Ameyuri, Kiyoshi obtained relevant information.
A red-haired ninja from the Land of Grass has fallen into exile there.
Without a doubt, it must be the Uzumaki clan.
If we go sooner, we might be able to rescue Karin's mother.
Before Kusagakure can discover Karin's mother's abilities, it will take some time to observe her.
After all, not every member of the Uzumaki clan possesses the abilities of "Kagura's Mind's Eye" and "Physical Healing".
Like the Byakugan and Sharingan, this requires training or stimulation to awaken the bloodline limit.
For example, Naruto inherited none of the Uzumaki clan's unique abilities, except for the Uzumaki clan's vitality.
He doesn't even know sealing techniques; no one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village has ever taught Naruto these skills.
This resulted in the village's only member of the Uzumaki clan not knowing the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques.
On the contrary, Konoha's sealing team absorbed many of Uzumaki's sealing techniques.
That's a bit of a hellish joke.
"Stay in the Land of Grass?"
Mikoto, who was crushing the dry rations and putting them into the pot, was taken aback.
"Kiyoshi, currently only the area around Kannabi Bridge is safe. Going to other places still carries the risk of attacks from Kusanagi ninja."
Mikoto said with concern.
