Naruto entry.

Chapter 21 Isn't this fair?

Completing a ninjutsu will push the progress to a little over 33%.

It has now reached 45%.

This is because after Kiyoshi learned the Shadow Clone Technique, he shifted his focus back to "Lightning Release: Iron Body".

Kiyoshi learned this ninjutsu very smoothly.

It can only be said that the Yoruzuki clan is naturally suited to lightning release and taijutsu.

"It's probably still a bit short."

Kiyoshi let out a breath.

The entry for strong physique has not been triggered yet, but I estimate that I will be able to meet the requirements after practicing for a while.

He is now completely different from who he was two months ago.

No longer is she thin and frail, looking like she's malnourished.

"Hey, Kiyoshi, aren't you leaving yet?"

Kakashi's voice came from outside the door.

"They're here."

Kiyoshi packed his things, picked up his cloth bag, and headed outside.

He lived on the outskirts of the Uchiha settlement, so it was easy for him to visit other people's homes without having to venture deep into the Uchiha settlement.

For some reason, Kakashi often came to see him.

The two of them went to the ninja academy together.

Kiyoshi learned something from Kakashi.

That is, Kakashi's father went on a secret mission and it seems he's finally coming back.

Kiyoshi knew that this was a secret mission to infiltrate the enemy camp as the team leader.

We are now in a sensitive period before the war, and this mission is expected to have a significant impact on the Land of Fire.

Then Sakumo Hatake will have to choose between his mission and his comrades.

As a result, he chose his companions.

"We've arrived."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

Within the next few days, news of the mission's failure will likely spread.

What followed was one-sided public opinion, and even the companions he had saved blamed him.

Kiyoshi glanced at Kakashi.

So, Kakashi will graduate this year and be promoted to Chunin in a very short time.

"Kakashi, Kiyoshi-kun."

As soon as she entered, Nohara Rin greeted her warmly.

Her gaze was almost entirely focused on Kakashi.

Kiyoshi nodded.

Whenever Kakashi is around, Rin Nohara's after-class explanations become more detailed.

If it were just Kiyoshi alone, Nohara Rin would only be able to provide guidance for a few days at most before it ended.

Kakashi continued to come, and Rin Nohara never said she would stop coaching him.

Of course, Obito would come in every time for various reasons.

"Alright, class is starting."

After chatting for a while, the Chunin teacher in charge of teaching history patted the lectern.

A figure rushed over in a hurry.

"I accidentally helped too many elderly ladies."

Obito tried to sneak in, but was caught red-handed by his Chunin teacher.

"You can't help all the old ladies, can you? Go stand in the back."

The Chunin teacher didn't want to listen to Obito's nonsense.

This kid is always late.

On the first day of registration, Obito was late because he needed to collect the required documents.

"Uh...really?"

Obito scratched the back of his head.

Kiyoshi was watching Obito from below.

Before he turned evil, Obito really liked to help old ladies.

He turned his head and spoke to Nohara Rin.

Ask about some techniques for throwing shuriken.

Obito glanced down and saw the smug Kakashi looking utterly speechless.

And then there's Kiyoshi, who's whispering with Rin later on.

"Hurry up and go."

The Chunin teacher urged him on.

Obito then withdrew his gaze and obediently walked back.

"Obito, the next class is another class, you won't be standing for long."

Obito deliberately took the path next to Rin Nohara.

Hearing Rin Nohara's comforting words, Obito's pent-up frustration vanished.

"As expected, Lin is the best to me!"

As Obito walked along, he thought about the future, even fantasizing about becoming Hokage, reaching the pinnacle of life, and marrying Rin.

……

school.

Uchiha settlement.

Not long after Kiyoshi returned home, someone came to find him and led him to an old-fashioned building.

Uchiha Hazuki led Kiyoshi here.

"The medicine fan, a D-rank lightning release scroll."

Uchiha Yeyue spoke.

She wore a deep purple Uchiha long robe with the Flame Fan Clan crest on the cuffs, and a beauty mark under her eyelid.

Kiyoshi stood behind Uchiha Hazuki.

Uchiha Hazuki was the person sent by Fugaku to bring Kiyoshi with the scroll.

She is also the future mother of Uchiha Izumi.

He also died at Itachi's hands.

However, he waited a whole month for Hazuki to arrive, and Kiyoshi knew very well that he didn't take it seriously at all.

Naturally, the problem was only addressed when it could no longer be delayed.

Without Fugaku's orders, Kiyoshi probably wouldn't have been able to get his hands on the scroll.

With other Uchiha clans, it would only take two or three days at most to obtain it.

It's normal to be ostracized and discriminated against by the Uchiha clan.

After all, the Uchiha are a proud clan.

If Kiyoshi were a half-blood from Konoha, it probably wouldn't be a big deal.

But he happens to be from the Land of Lightning.

Perhaps the Uchiha ancestors lived in the Land of Lightning, but that period was too long ago.

So long ago, no Uchiha felt connected to the Land of Lightning.

In "Sasuke's True Story", Sasuke learns about the past of the Uchiha clan and the Land of Lightning from the people of the Blood Pond clan.

"A new member of the tribe?"

Uchiha Yakusen poked his head out; he looked to be in his early forties, and the crisscrossing scars on his cheeks made his smile appear sinister.

"Yes, that's Uchiha Kiyoshi."

Yao Shan grinned, revealing his pile of scars, and said:

"Half-bloods of the Uchiha clan are rare, but those sent from the Land of Lightning are even rarer."

Hazuki didn't reply, but gestured for Yakusen to fetch the scroll.

Kiyoshi stood still, observing the furnishings of the house.

"Hey, first time."

Uchiha Yakusen forced an ugly smile onto his face.

There are precedents for mixed-blood Uchiha clan members, but this is the first time one has been sent from such a distant place as the Land of Lightning.

He turned and walked to the iron gate behind him, took out a key and unlocked it.

The outside light shone into the dark room, adding a touch of brightness.

But deeper down, the sunlight couldn't penetrate, and it looked dim.

There was some white dust floating in the air.

Uchiha Yakuhan lit several oil lamps, and the room, which had just looked somewhat dim, was now bathed in an orange glow.

It contains many old bookshelves filled with all sorts of scrolls.

"Lightning Release is over here."

Uchiha Yakusen walked into a place with the character "Lightning" written on it and picked up a D-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu.

"Can't I choose for myself?"

Kiyoshi raised an eyebrow.

He also wanted to choose a ninjutsu that suited him.

Uchiha Yakusen looked at Uchiha Hazuki, the scroll in his hand hovering in mid-air.

Uchiha Hazuki gently shook her head, her delicate face showing.

"Fugaku didn't say so, so I can't make the decision on my own."

Did you hear that?

Uchiha Yaoshan smiled again, and the scars from his smile piled up together again.

"Okay, thank you."

In the end, Kiyoshi didn't say anything and took the scroll.

After receiving the scroll, the two came out of the room.

Uchiha Yakusen locked the iron gate and sat back down on the stool under the eaves in front of him.

"Fugaku is the clan head, and we must obey his orders."

After walking for a while, Uchiha Hazuki suddenly spoke.

"I know, Lady Hazuki. It's for my own good. After all, I don't know which ninjutsu suits me."

Qingsi nodded and smiled.

It's okay to be malicious towards yourself.

Then he can just collect some interest later.

Isn't that fair?

Hazuki was stunned for a moment, looking at Kiyoshi's honest smile, clearly not expecting Kiyoshi to be so sensible.

A gentle smile eased her brow: "You're such a good child to think that way."
