Chapter 59 - Meeting Setsuna

Chakra exists within everyone, simply reacting differently to different nature transformations.

Just like people's appearances, they come in countless forms.

Kiyoshi's discussions with Rin also brings him many benefits, as he explores the possibilities of new ninjutsu.

Many ninjutsu are actually still under development.

The current ninja world is facing unprecedented changes unseen in thousands of years.

Various ninjutsu are emerging like bamboo shoots after a rain.

During the Sengoku era, which lasted for thousands of years, various forces fought endlessly.

Back then, the average lifespan of ninjas was only thirty years.

When waking up, the first problem they faced was whether they could survive the day.

All training was family-based, and civilians could only pick up scraps to learn on their own.

Apart from Kekkei genkais and secret techniques, there were very few other ninjutsu.

From ninjas wearing shouldered armor to now wearing light chainmail, it can be seen that the era of cold weapon combat supplemented by ninjutsu has passed.

Now, there is greater emphasis on agility.

Since powerful ninjutsu have been developed and used as the main means of attack, the correct approach is to evade.

Enduring damage head-on is the worst possible strategy.

Tobirama can be seen as a representative figure in this.

Many forbidden techniques were created by him, such as the Flying Thunder God Technique, Shadow Clone Technique, Edo Tensei and even Naruto's commonly used Rasengan is a recent product.

Minato probably hasn't even created the Rasengan yet.

Kushina will eventually be unable to endure being confined within the barrier and will go outside despite the obstruction.

The Nine-Tails will then seize this opportunity to rampage within Kushina's body.

It was on the day of the rampage that the Rasengan first took shape.

"Thank you, Kiyoshi."

Rin said gratefully, having learned a lot again today.

Kiyoshi is truly a good person, willing to spend so much time helping her.

She knew that when Kiyoshi had just transferred, her explanations had only lasted for that period of time.

Kiyoshi understood many things after hearing them once, and could learn them quickly.

But the nature transformation of Lightning could not be explained enough, no matter how long they talked.

After all, they were discussing future developments, rather than learning a ninjutsu step by step.

"You're welcome." Kiyoshi shook his head.

In the future, he will need Rin's help in many aspects, whether it is in medical ninjutsu or restraining Obito. Rin is a good card to have.

After Rin left, Kiyoshi also went out from home. He was going to buy groceries for the next week.

Kiyoshi wasn't picky about food, as long as it provided enough nutrition.

The Uchiha settlement was like a city within a city, housing many ordinary Uchiha clansmen who were not ninjas.

They did some business here to earn some money. Their main customers were Uchihas and only a few outsiders were part of their customer base.

"Kiyoshi, Elder Setsuna is looking for you."

After buying some rations, someone called out to Kiyoshi.

Turning around, Kiyoshi noticed that it was a ninja with short black hair.

He had a black mole in the center of his forehead, a dark blue long shirt, and the Uchiha clan's crest on his back.

"You are...?"

Kiyoshi recognized him as Uchiha Tekka by the signature black mole.

One of the three people responsible for questioning Itachi.

So far, he had not had any contact with Tekka.

"I am Uchiha Tekka, follow me."

Tekka briefly introduced himself and told Kiyoshi to follow him.

Hearing this, Kiyoshi followed, carrying the bag of groceries. Soon, they arrived at a quiet residence.

"Are you adapting well to life in the Uchiha clan?"

The person who spoke was a man with graying hair and very noticeable wrinkles on his face.

He wore a mask on his left face, seemingly trying to cover something.

Kiyoshi said, "Elder Setsuna, I am adapting very well to life here. Since coming here, I can feel that the Uchiha clan is my true home."

Information about Setsuna flashed through his mind.

During Tobirama's reign, Uchiha Setsuna was quite dissatisfied with his policies for governing the Uchiha clan.

He believed that he had inherited Madara's will and yearned to reclaim sovereignty from the Senju clan.

He had even organized a group of Uchiha ninjas who also advocated radicalism and were extremely individualistic to lead the riots.

In the end, they were suppressed by the Anbu ninjas dispatched by Tobirama.

A few years after Tobirama's death, Sarutobi Hiruzen took office.

Taking into account the increasingly subtle rift between the Uchiha clan and the village, he released Setsuna and the rioting clansmen.

In short, Setsuna was the head of the hawkish faction.

Below Fugaku, he had the biggest status within the Uchiha clan.

"What differences do you feel between the Land of Lightning and here?" Setsuna asked, his voice very hoarse.

He looked at the robust Kiyoshi, who was a little taller than Tekka beside him.

Unlike most clansmen, Setsuna had done extensive research on the history of the Uchiha clan.

There was definitive proof that the Uchiha had been in the Land of Lightning, where they had carried out a long-term mission.

That was to drive out the Kaguyasara Clan, banishing them to the current Land of Hot Water and forbidding them from leaving.

So it wasn't unimaginable that Kiyoshi was born in the Land of Lightning.

Hearing this, Kiyoshi opened the grocery bag and selected the best-looking cabbage from it.

"I lived in a small place called Mizukumo Gorge. The environment there was harsh, and there were very few vegetables and fruits. After coming to Konoha, my biggest feeling is that the people here are kind, especially the Uchiha."

"Just this ordinary cabbage here is much tastier than those in the Land of Lightning, and the clansman selling vegetables also took good care of me and gave me a discount. Now that I think about it, every day in the Land of Lightning was torture."

Kiyoshi said with an "excited" expression.

Perhaps because he was born in the Land of Lightning and lived there for several years, some people would ask his opinion during breaks at ninja school.

Even some Chunin instructors did so.

Whenever they heard Kiyoshi say that Konoha was better, they would be very satisfied.

The Land of Lightning is not as good as the Land of Fire. Our Konoha is so amazing.

"Your awareness is good."

Tekka patted Kiyoshi on the shoulder.

How could a poor and remote place like the Land of Lightning compare to the Land of Fire?

Compare to Konoha?

And the Uchiha clan is the largest clan in Konoha.

Setsuna asked, "The Chunin Exams are in a few months, are you interested in participating?"

Setsuna nodded, satisfied with Kiyoshi's performance.

"I have that thought. I want to do my part for the Uchiha clan as soon as possible."

Kiyoshi's reply satisfied Setsuna.

He looked at Kiyoshi and had the idea of taking Kiyoshi into his faction.

How could a dove like Fugaku, together with a bunch of insects from Konoha, govern the Uchiha clan well?

"I have high hopes for you."

Setsuna stretched out an old hand from his sleeve and took out a scroll to give to Kiyoshi.
