After a while, Xiao Nan, who had recovered, said.
Her gaze deliberately avoided the bowl that Yahiko was holding.
"Great."
Yahiko thought to himself.
Nagato's injuries should naturally be treated as soon as possible.
……
On the other side, Konoha.
Shortly after sunrise, Nohara Rin covered her mouth, suppressing the urge to vomit.
This feeling is very faint; it's a normal reaction during pregnancy.
"Little one, how eager were you to come into this world?"
Nohara Rin stroked her belly, her expression filled with maternal love.
After walking for a while, Nohara Rin, who was getting ready to get up early to buy groceries, suddenly noticed that there was also a woman touching her stomach.
That's... Mikoto.
Nohara Rin knew Mikoto; she was Kiyoshi's team leader Jonin.
"What a coincidence, Mikoto-neechan."
Nohara Rin took the initiative to greet him.
Mikoto is older than her, so calling her "auntie" would make her sound old; calling her "sister" would be just right.
"It's Lin."
Mikoto gave a gentle smile.
"You're here to buy groceries too?"
she said.
"Correct."
Nohara Lin nodded.
Her instincts as a medical ninja allowed her to tell that Mikoto was pregnant.
But... whose child is it?
Nohara Rin was puzzled.
I didn't see any men who were flirting with Mikoto, nor did I hear any news about Mikoto getting married.
These doubts remained buried in Nohara Rin's heart, and she did not dare to ask them aloud.
After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, the two parted ways.
After buying the ingredients, Nohara Rin went home and cooked.
"Seiji?"
She was suddenly taken aback, not expecting Qing Si to appear here.
"Weren't you on a mission to the Land of Rain?"
Do you think this distance makes any sense to me?
Kiyoshi smiled slightly and asked in return.
Nohara Rin thought about it and realized that as long as she had enough chakra, traveling back and forth between the Land of Rain and Konoha in an instant was not an unimaginable thing.
"Help me figure this out."
Kiyoshi took out a glass bottle with sealing techniques drawn on it.
Inside was a wriggling tentacle, still attached to a piece of flesh.
That day, Kiyoshi severed a quarter of Kakuzu's body, sending part of it to the Grass Country experimental base and giving the rest to Nohara Rin.
Kiyoshi also planned to give a copy to Tsunade and Yakushi Nono, in order to speed up the research.
These tentacles conceal the secrets of "Earthly Grudge".
Kiyoshi wants to understand some of the characteristics of "Earth Grudge" and create something that can help him become stronger.
As for practicing such secret techniques to transform one's body into that of Kakuzu, Kiyoshi had absolutely no interest.
"it is good."
Nohara Rin carefully put away the small bottle.
She would naturally help Qing Si handle this small matter.
She cares about something else now.
"Kiyoshi, how long can you stay here?"
Nohara Rin asked the question she wanted to ask.
"Before noon."
Kiyoshi replied.
He used the "Flying Thunder God Technique" to return to the room assigned to him by the Akatsuki before noon, and then went to treat Nagato.
Such time management is very commonplace for Qing Si.
Upon hearing this, Nohara Rin's lips curved into a gentle smile.
After having the baby, she inexplicably became even more attached to Kiyoshi.
This is common among pregnant women, as hormonal changes can cause them to have a higher libido than usual.
Chapter 343 Mikoto's Curiosity
Kiyoshi finally left Nohara Rin's house around 10 a.m.
He arrived at Mikoto's house without stopping, where Mikoto, who was cleaning, looked at Kiyoshi with surprise.
Mikoto then asked the same question as Nohara Rin, and Kiyoshi naturally gave the same excuse.
Meanwhile, while spending time with Mikoto, Kiyoshi used his Sharingan's ability to see through chakra flow to observe the fetus inside Mikoto's womb.
Indra is a chakra reincarnation. If he were to reside in a ninja's body, he would definitely gain a unique chakra.
However, this chakra is very difficult to detect.
Even Madara, who possesses the "Rinnegan," couldn't see through these things.
Instead, he speculated that Sasuke and he had some deeper connection, which was the handover between the previous and current Indra reincarnations.
Although Madara no longer possessed Indra's chakra, certain traces remained within him.
Those "Rinnegan" eyes are the best proof; once opened, they remain open forever.
In the end, Madara's body was possessed by Kaguya, and when he finally spat it out, all of his chakra and ocular power were devoured by Kaguya.
This resulted in Madara's eyes going completely blind in the final scene, and he no longer had the Sharingan or Rinnegan markings.
"As expected, the Mangekyou Sharingan can't see through it. Should I call him Itachi or Sasuke?"
Kiyoshi stroked his chin.
A name is just a label; he chose this name simply to make it easier to remember.
Gallo's experience has proven that, under the influence of his butterfly effect, the order in which children are born may not necessarily follow the original story.
"Let's wait until the baby is born to see how it goes."
Kiyoshi secretly said.
The soul and the body are deeply connected, so the body of the "reincarnated" person is made to resemble the deceased in life for spiritual communication.
If it were Itachi, he would have naturally occurring tear troughs, or nasolabial folds.
In the ninja world, there is a concept called destiny.
There are also corresponding prophecies and divination methods, and the immortals of the three holy sites are the best proof of this.
In "The True Story of Itachi," Danzo Shimura says that Itachi has a fierce appearance, which refers to the two nasolabial folds that run from the inner corner of Itachi's eye to his cheek.
It is a face that can bring misfortune, and one's life will often be accompanied by misfortune.
Itachi kept these words in his heart, and he was very happy when he saw that Sasuke's face was no longer fierce.
Itachi believed that Sasuke would definitely surpass him.
Even he himself couldn't understand the nature of this feeling, and didn't know why he thought that way.
However, he truly hoped so from the bottom of his heart.
If we were to say who Itachi felt the deepest affection for, it would undoubtedly be Sasuke.
Even with such profound grief, Itachi placed "Kotoamatsukami" into Naruto's body through a crow before his death.
If Sasuke doesn't heed Naruto's advice, then let the power of "Kotoamatsukami" alter Sasuke's will and brainwash him into a ninja who obeys the order to "protect Konoha".
"This is some pastry that I tried making at home myself."
Mikoto's voice interrupted Kiyoshi's thoughts.
She took a plate of pastries from the kitchen, which was placed on a white plate.
Kiyoshi picked up a piece and tasted it, finding the cooking to be quite good.
Have you noticed any increase in your pupil strength lately?
Qingsi asked.
His cells gradually acquired the immense vitality and power of "Hashirama cells." Theoretically, people who receive his cells can also significantly reduce the side effects of the Sharingan.
Mikoto did not receive a transplant of Kiyoshi's cells, but she did absorb a significant amount of Kiyoshi's cells.
These cells are the essence of power, and theoretically, as long as there is enough of them, the side effects of Mikoto's "Mangekyou Sharingan" should be reduced.
"...There is a little bit."
Mikoto nodded.
She tried using her newly acquired pupil technique, but her vision began to decline afterward.
For the Uchiha, with their keen insight, even the slightest decline is quite noticeable.
Mikoto discovers that her vision is returning to what it used to be.
"Yeah."
Qing Si seemed to understand something.
Unfortunately, the experimental data was too small. In the entire ninja world, there was no one with a more unique body than him.
Even the body of an Otsutsuki wouldn't evolve as quickly as Kiyoshi's.
They must consume "Dan," the "Chakra Fruit," to achieve their evolution.
Otherwise, why would the Otsutsuki clan destroy planet after planet in space instead of choosing to colonize and ensure a continuous cycle of resources?
"Unless absolutely necessary, it's best to use eye techniques sparingly."
Kiyoshi reminded him again.
"I know."
Mikoto nodded slightly, her smooth black hair swaying behind her as she did so.
From beginning to end, she never used her pupil technique again, except to check its effects.
Furthermore, since the war had just ended, she wasn't one of those genin or chunin who needed to take on a lot of miscellaneous tasks to make ends meet, and she spent most of her time at home.
"Then... Kiyoshi, how much has your eyesight deteriorated?"
Mikoto suddenly realized that Kiyoshi had used the Kaleidoscope eye technique so many times that his eyesight must have deteriorated significantly!
She subconsciously waved her small hand, waving it in front of Kiyoshi, as if to confirm whether Kiyoshi could catch the trajectory.
Snapped.
