Samodo asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
The words that she had prepared were about to reach her lips, but just then, Samui remembered her brother's face.
In the end, she excused herself from the secret room and went out.
The essence of the matter was that Kiyoshi was not satisfied with the benefits he was currently receiving and wanted to extract more.
And if the things Kiyoshi requests for don't exceed the scope, they will inevitably satisfy him step by step for the sake of the Uchiha's Kekkei genkai.
If Kiyoshi really returns to Kumogakure in the future, Samui herself will have a political stain for saying words that were not beneficial and even harmful to the village.
It would also affect her brother's future. Atsui had just become a ninja not long ago, and his future was bright.
Samui suddenly felt a little irritable and melancholy.
Why was she specifically assigned to be in charge of Kiyoshi's affairs?
And Kiyoshi just happened to have his eye on her.
....
Uchiha settlement
Kiyoshi's house
Moonlight shone in the courtyard, and Kiyoshi, who had just returned home, opened the sliding door.
He held two ninjutsu scrolls in his hand.
[Reading Absorption (White)] and [Basic Memory (White)] allowed Kiyoshi to quickly understand the words on the scroll and recite the entire text.
Kiyoshi had already memorized the Lightning Release: Lightning Finger that he had obtained not long ago.
But he had not used it yet. This was the first time he was learning lightning ninjutsu.
For the first six days, Kiyoshi had learned E-rank ninjutsu from scratch.
Through a few days of tree climbing to lay the foundation, and with the help of [Muscle Memory (White)], Kiyoshi had mastered the minimum amount of chakra control required to use E-rank ninjutsu.
The next step was walking on water.
Kiyoshi began to extract the chakra inside his body.
Strands of chakra were extracted from Kiyoshi's cells and flowed through his meridians.
No matter what ninjutsu it is, chakra is needed to use it.
Even Eight Inner Gates, a representative of pure taijutsu, still needs chakra.
In the official first official book, it is stated that the mixture of physical energy and spiritual energy produced by 130 trillion cells in the body is called stamina.
And stamina is actually the so-called chakra.
However, to use ninjutsu, you need to convert stamina into chakra.
Therefore, people die when their chakra is exhausted.
In the ninja world, everyone has chakra. Even flowers, plants, trees, birds, and animals all have chakra.
From Boruto onwards, the concept of planet's chakra was introduced.
Boruto's self-created ninjutsu Rasengan: Uzuhiko used this type of concept.
(T/N: Uzuhiko means Vortex Prince)
If you inject planet's chakra into someone's body, this chakra will rotate along with the planet.
As long as the planet's rotation does not stop, Uzuhiko will also not stop.
It is also the most powerful Rasengan to date.
Of course, these are far away from Kiyoshi.
Kiyoshi stretched out his right index and middle fingers, and converted his non-attribute chakra into lightning chakra.
Kiyoshi has four chakra natures.
Lightning!
Fire!
Yin!
Yang!
Therefore, he has an advantage in learning lightning release ninjutsu.
A faint electric current began to dissipate little by little in the muscles under his skin.
Kiyoshi felt his fingers go numb. He endured this and continued to carefully control his chakra.
After an unknown amount of time
"You have acquired the Trait: [Apprentice Lightning Release Ninja (White)]."
[Apprentice Lightning Release Ninja (White)]
[Requirements: Successfully use a lightning release ninjutsu once.]
[Progress: Completed]
[Effect: Your talent in Lightning Release is increased by 10%.]
[Note: Can be upgraded.]
[Upgrade Route 1: Integrating Muscle Memory (White) and Strong Physique (White) can cause it to advance to Lightning Release Genin (Green).]
Kiyoshi listened quietly to the voice in his mind, and finally had some understanding of the way to advance a trait.
It is likely that he will be told the advancement method if he meets most of the conditions for advancement.
This so-called apprentice probably refers to his current level.
Ninja students, strictly speaking, also have the alias of reserve ninjas and ninja apprentice.
"It's a good Trait."
Kiyoshi looked at his body, which was a little stronger than before, and already had an idea.
Just a white Trait increased his talent by 10%. When it upgrades to green, the increase will definitely be even greater.
After a while, Kiyoshi opened the scroll in his hand and prepared to start practicing the second ninjutsu.
Lightning Release: Lightning Finger is an offensive ninjutsu and it's not urgent to learn it right now.
Kiyoshi planned to put his mind into the second lightning release ninjutsu first and strengthen his body.
The deeper a ninja's understanding of a particular ninjutsu, the greater the power they can unleash with it.
"Okay, let's start practicing Lightning Release: Iron Skin."
...
Hokage Building
Danzo said, "Hiruzen, Kiyoshi must be monitored 24 hours a day."
About a month ago, a ninja from the Uchiha clan had found Kiyoshi and brought him to Konoha.
During this period, Kiyoshi had been investigated to verify whether he was a spy.
Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Danzo, didn't you send the best of the best spy ninjas from Root to investigate him?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his pipe and exhaled a puff of smoke.
The entire Hokage office gradually became filled with smoke.
Danzo frowned slightly.
According to the news he had obtained from Yakushi Nono, Kiyoshi was indeed not a spy and he hadn't done anything to betray Konoha.
But Danzo was still not at ease. Just because Kiyoshi isn't a spy doesn't mean that he has the will of fire.
The Uchiha are inherently evil, and on top being an Uchiha, Kiyoshi has the blood of Kumogakure?
Such an unstable element must join the Root and a tongue curse must be planted on him just to be safe.
Danzo said, "Hiruzen, give Kiyoshi to me. I will erase everything that he had experienced in the past from his memories and make him a new Konoha ninja."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "No, the current dynamic between the Uchiha clan and the village is delicate. If Kiyoshi joins the Root, it will cause dissatisfaction among the Uchiha."
Sarutobi Hiruzen refused Danzo's proposal without even thinking about it.
As someone who had experienced the First and Second Great Ninja Wars, he could smell the coming storm.
Kumogakure is accumulating military strength and has their eyes set on military expansion.
Konoha has only begun recovering for a few years.
If a war occurs again, Sarutobi Hiruzen had a hunch that it will be more intense than the last Great Ninja War.
In such a tense moment, how could he cause dissatisfaction among the Uchiha clan?
The ninjas of the Uchiha clan are an important force of the village.
"Hiruzen!"
Danzo's voice increased.
"Enough, Danzo, I am the Hokage!" Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his pipe and said.
In his opinion, Danzo wasn't seeing the bigger picture.
