Kiyoshi gazed into the distance; his eyes were large enough to be used as a telescope.
With the feedback from the pupil's power, the ability to "see far" has also been greatly enhanced.
As for how much of a boost the three-tomoe Sharingan will ultimately provide him, there is a lack of actual combat experience to show for it.
"red lotus."
Kiyoshi arrived downstairs.
His room was on the second floor; the house had three floors in total.
Go clean my room.
"Yes, Lord Seiji."
Having just finished mopping the floor, Honglian didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly went upstairs to clean Qingsi's room.
"Was the water glass knocked over?"
Honglian muttered to herself, looking at the messy ground.
A new round of work begins, using wrung-out cloths to clean up the water stains.
…………
"Should I be gentler with Lin?"
Kakashi felt somewhat remorseful at home.
Ultimately, Rin Nohara is a kind girl.
It's really unfair to put this kind of pressure on a girl like her.
The book "Icha Icha Hell" was placed over Kakashi's face.
This unpublished erotic novel by Kiyoshi has almost become Kakashi's spiritual pillar.
Only stories that are tense and exciting, yet also heartwarming, and occasionally contain some philosophical insights, can allow him to briefly forget the emptiness of reality.
"My left eye still hurts."
Kakashi covered his eyes, put down "Icha Icha Hell," and went out the door.
He wanted to clear his head by himself.
"Lin?"
The streetlights on both sides of the street were lit up.
In the crowd, Kakashi spotted a familiar figure.
Kakashi instinctively called out.
The person walking ahead slowly turned their head.
It really was Lin.
Kakashi thought to himself.
"Kakashi, what a coincidence."
Nohara Rin's voice was hoarse.
It even had some changes in pronunciation, making it sound quite strange.
Kakashi keenly noticed this.
He quickly stepped over the crowd blocking their way and reached Nohara Rin.
The two were only one meter apart.
Kakashi stopped there and did not go any further.
The small distance seemed like an insurmountable chasm, blocking the two of them.
Nohara Rin looked up.
The figures behind him were jumbled and illusory, with only Kakashi standing in place.
Her lips, fuller than usual, opened and closed slightly a few times, and a few sounds escaped from her throat.
Hesitant to speak.
Rin Nohara felt a joy she wanted to share with Kakashi, telling him not to keep thinking so pessimistically.
Kiyoshi is willing to help; given his status, he might be able to resolve this matter.
But everything that happened with Kiyoshi was like a bucket of cold water poured over him.
On this sweltering summer night, Nohara Rin felt a chill.
The grievances stuck in his throat once again, and he couldn't say them out.
Kakashi felt that Rin's posture was a bit strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
He looked at it carefully.
I noticed that Rin Nohara was different from before.
Like an unripe fruit, it has finally completed the last step towards maturity.
Hanging on the tree trunk, they exude the fragrance of ripening fruit.
Although Kakashi thought it was presumptuous, he still felt that Rin Nohara looked more feminine than before, even just standing there.
"Lin, we're still the best of friends. I shouldn't have done that today..."
"It's alright, Kakashi, it's alright."
Nohara Lin said softly.
Kakashi came to apologize, which shows that he still cares about her.
That's enough.
"Thank you, Lin."
A smile appeared on Kakashi's tired face.
He felt he had spoken too harshly, and he was glad that Nohara Rin could understand.
"I hope we can continue to get along well in the future."
"I……"
Looking into Kakashi's hopeful eyes, Nohara Rin didn't know what to say.
My heart started to ache again.
What would Kakashi do if he knew that she was no longer the person she used to be?
Some things, once lost, are lost forever.
"That's what I think too."
She lowered her head slightly, her short hair gently brushing against the corners of her reddened eyes, and a silent tear quietly slid down her cheek.
"Ah, it seems like I got some sand in my eye..." Lin gently rubbed the corner of her eye, trying her best to hide the trembling in her heart.
A flicker of joy flashed in Kakashi's somewhat vacant eyes, as if in this brief pause he had found a trace of old friendship.
The two continued walking, their shadows cast long, thin lines under the streetlights, swaying gently with each step.
The two shadows seemed to overlap, yet they also seemed to be forever parallel, never intersecting.
…………
The country of ghosts.
"Has His Highness's illness become increasingly serious lately?"
Miroku asked Dr. Sada.
Dr. Sada was renowned in several countries, including the Land of Demons and the Land of Swamps.
"No."
Dr. Sada shook his head.
He opened his mouth and said:
"His Highness the Great was possessed by a demon, which greatly shortened his lifespan and made his body extremely old. Even a slight cold would be a serious illness for him."
Dr. Sada carefully considered his words before continuing:
"The physician who treated the Daimyo's injuries was very skilled. Perhaps we could ask him to come again, or we could ask the famous Princess Tsunade."
Dr. Sada explained the solution to Miroku.
To avoid the noble priestess taking her anger out on him.
He then went on to mention some reputable doctors, and even introduced Shennong.
Hearing the list of doctors' names, Miro sighed.
On their side, they naturally wouldn't let Kiyoshi control them.
They sought out countless doctors, but unfortunately, there was no progress.
On the contrary, the money spent on finding these doctors was far more than what was given to the Qing Dynasty.
However, Kiyoshi only came once every long period of time.
In the midst of the Great Ninja War, amidst the chaos of war, ninjas are preoccupied with fighting against enemy ninjas and have no time to worry about missions from smaller nations.
This is a matter of life and death!
Unless a small country is willing to form an alliance and provide a large amount of supplies to help a major power, the major power will not reciprocate by offering assistance to a small country.
"Go down."
Maitreya rubbed his brows, a lingering worry in his eyes.
His dignified and ethereal face also carried a hint of compassion for humanity.
"Yes, Your Highness the Miko."
Dr. Sada respectfully took his leave and departed from the Shrine of the Witch Goddess.
After he left, a female guard presented Maitreya with a letter.
The envelope was heavy; it contained something.
"This is a letter from Uchiha Kiyoshi of Konoha."
"I see."
Maitreya waved away the female guards and, out of curiosity, opened the envelope to take a look.
Inside was an ordinary kunai, with strange black spell patterns written on its handle.
A letter was also tucked inside, saying it was a gift for Maitreya.
"What's this guy thinking?"
Maitreya frowned slightly.
Uchiha Kiyoshi is not the kind of person who would give her gifts for no reason.
But Maitreya couldn't figure out what use this kunai was.
She casually put down the kunai and took off the shrine maiden's robe.
She wore only a thin, flesh-colored undergarment underneath, which clung to her shapely, graceful curves and occasionally trembled with her full figure.
Maitreya soon fell asleep.
early morning.
"Going to bed so early?"
While Maitreya was half asleep, a sudden noise startled her awake from her dream.
She opened her eyes and saw Uchiha Kiyoshi's face.
"!"
Maitreya leaned back while holding the blanket, almost falling off the bed.
