Yagura nodded and began dealing with today's official business.
……
Three days later, Kiyoshi and his party finally arrived at their destination.
The Land of Water is surrounded by the ocean, and its islands are shrouded in white mist year-round.
The view wasn't exactly excellent, but it was something the Hidden Mist ninjas were used to.
"Welcome to the Hokage of Konoha, who has traveled from afar."
After landing on the largest island, Kiyoshi led his men for a while and then saw a pair of Kirigakure ninja who had been waiting for him.
"Please come this way."
The speaker was Kisame Hoshigaki, who gestured for Kiyoshi to speak.
Qing Si nodded slightly and followed with the others.
Beside Kisame Hoshigaki were many Kirigakure ninja.
The visit of a film star is, after all, a significant event.
If Qing Si hadn't given prior notice that things would be simpler, this place would probably still be packed with people.
"It's nice to see you again, Mei Terumi."
Kiyoshi spotted Terumi Mei in the crowd at a glance.
Mei Terumi's alluring charm stands out exceptionally.
Her enviable, curvaceous figure and her enormous heart are already a rare proportion.
Her fair and smooth skin made her look even more radiant.
Yes, that's right, it's moist and tender.
It's normal for a woman who aspires to be a water shadow to be a bit delicate and youthful.
Noticing Kiyoshi's gaze, Terumi Mei clenched her hands.
This guy is still the same as always.
Even after becoming Hokage, he did not change his wicked personality.
"How are you doing with the things I gave you last time?"
Kiyoshi's lips curled into a smile.
What he was talking about was a trial version of the curse seal.
At that time, he had not yet gained the ability to plant "seeds of divine spells" in people; he only gave them a very simple spell seal so that Mei Terumi could feel the power within it.
"Hmph, not bad."
Mei Terumi turned her head away, leaving Kiyoshi with only her stunning profile and exquisite jawline.
That power, known as the cursed seal, gave her some significant advantages.
Her Water Release ninjutsu, as well as her Bloodline Limits "Molten" and "Boiling" Releases, all received significant enhancements.
But while the power was useful, that was a completely different matter from what Kiyoshi did to her.
Mei Terumi still can't forget the time Kiyoshi put a necklace around her neck and walked her around town like a dog.
"Hehehe, the Hokage and Mei Terumi have a good relationship."
After walking a while longer, Kiyoshi saw an elderly man.
He was leaning on a wooden cane, and someone was helping him.
Kiyoshi recognized the iconic pose immediately; it belonged to Genji.
He is the oldest high-ranking member of Kirigakure.
"They must have taken the Chunin Exams in the same year."
Zabuza Momochi recalled.
In his opinion, Uchiha Kiyoshi and Terumi Mei must have a really good relationship.
Otherwise, this crazy woman wouldn't keep talking about Qing Si every day.
There's a saying that goes, "Spare the rod and spoil the child."
Anyway, Mei Terumi's expression is always quite interesting every time he mentions the name Uchiha Kiyoshi.
Chapter 351 Black Zetsu: Perhaps only Kiyoshi can complete my plan to save my mother?
"So what."
Hozuki Mangetsu glanced at Momochi Zabuza.
This wasn't the first time any of them had met Kiyoshi.
Last time, Kiyoshi was just an ordinary ninja, but this time he has transformed into the Hokage of Konoha.
Such a contrast is truly somewhat dreamlike.
The key issue is that it was all too fast.
Kiyoshi is so young, yet he is incredibly powerful.
The key point is that he doesn't have the mindless arrogance of an average person. To put it bluntly, many of Uchiha Kiyoshi's actions seem arrogant, but if you investigate his information and review them afterward...
You'll then discover that he's actually very steady in everything he does, and has never made a mistake.
The Uchiha clan's renowned reputation and his innate talent simply overshadowed Kiyoshi's composed will.
Hozuki Mangetsu, however, dared not underestimate him in the slightest.
Geniuses in the ninja world are as numerous as carp crossing a river. Among the ninjas with bloodline limits, there are many who shine brightly for a time but quickly disappear.
Only those who make it to the end are the true champions.
"Please come over here."
Master Yuan spoke very politely, without putting on any airs of an elder.
Kiyoshi nodded slightly and stepped forward, surrounded by the crowd.
The land of the Water Country is mostly damp, whether it is because it is always like this or because of rain.
Slowly, Kiyoshi passed through a white mist. After the mist dissipated, the mysterious Kirigakure Village was revealed.
Although the Land of Water is surrounded by the sea, it is just an island compared to the vast continent.
It is at best a slightly larger island, with a territory only one-fifth or one-quarter the size of the Land of Fire.
What came into Qing Si's view was a lime-colored cylindrical building with a lot of vegetation planted on the ceiling.
The distant mountains are steep and rugged, and even with the mist swirling around them, their unique terrain is still evident.
"Few ninjas come to the Land of Water."
Kiyoshi said.
The Land of Water was only slightly more isolated than the Land of Rain during Hanzo's time.
The former is "the land of blood mist", and the latter is "closed-door policy".
In addition, the large island of the Land of Water is surrounded by many smaller islands, and the trade and exchanges among the various people on these islands have made the local customs and traditions of the Land of Water very rich and diverse.
This is something you can't see in the Land of Fire.
The architectural style of most buildings in the Land of Fire is uniform. Apart from some well-preserved ancient buildings, they are mostly modern buildings that are not much different from each other.
"Of course, the Fourth Hokage is the first Hokage to arrive here."
Master Yuan said matter-of-factly.
It's not like the war has just ended and the Land of Water is in dire need of restoring its national strength; the Hidden Mist Village would never accept the Hokage's arrival.
Because of the fact that the Land of Water was far from the mainland and separated by the ocean during previous Shinobi World Wars, it rarely participated in them.
This Shinobi World War was also a result of the Third Mizukage and some of his supporters' willful actions, trying to divert attention from external conflicts and create benefits for the Land of Water through war.
The end result was that the Land of Water was severely weakened. After the death of the Third Mizukage, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, continued the old policies and even intensified them.
The infighting within the "Village of Blood Mist," coupled with the bloody battlefields outside, once left Kirigakure facing a situation where no one could serve as a ninja.
"It's a great honor."
Qingsi said.
The war, which has lasted for several years, seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the Land of Water.
"Obito has sent us to gather intelligence again."
Bai Jue sounded dejected, but his face was all smiles.
"Don't speak carelessly."
Black Zetsu's voice was hoarse.
These White Zetsu androids are actually humans transformed from the "Infinite Tsukuyomi" of the past.
Later, Madara injected "Hashirama cells" into these androids through the "Gedo Mazo," further enhancing them.
Their strength has improved to a certain extent, but they have lost human emotions.
To facilitate their operations, Black Zetsu had no choice but to submit to White Zetsu, while also utilizing White Zetsu's "Mayfly Technique" to better serve as an observer.
For thousands of years, he has observed many things in the ninja world and witnessed the ups and downs of life.
"There's definitely something wrong with Uchiha Kiyoshi."
Black Zetsu pondered what kind of being Uchiha Kiyoshi really was.
Is he really... a member of the Uchiha clan?
This question may seem like a trivial question, but upon closer examination, it reveals a great deal of meaning.
Kiyoshi Uchiha was brought back to the Uchiha clan and became a pure Uchiha because he had only shown the bloodline limit of the Uchiha clan.
But what if he had shown "Storm Release" first?
Will the Hidden Cloud Village notice him and immediately call him Yozuki Seiji?
Later, it was rumored that Kiyoshi developed his own "bloodline limit".
Black Zetsu knew very well that some bloodline limits were not as simple as chakra fusion.
That involves "bloodline".
Just like him, he plotted for a thousand years, causing generation after generation of Asuras and Indras to instigate internal strife and conflict.
The purpose was to guide the Rinnegan out and use its power to summon the Ten-Tails shell, the Gedo Mazo, from the moon.
This is necessary so that the scattered nine-tailed beasts can have a container.
When the chakra of the nine tailed beasts is replenished to a certain extent, the "Gedo Mazo" will be resurrected in the form of the Ten-Tails.
This is the necessary method for resurrecting the mother.
"Could it be... a primordial Otsutsuki?"
As Kuro watched Kiyoshi's retreating figure grow ever more distant, a sense of dread rose within him.
It is common for members of the Otsutsuki clan to grow horns, but it is not absolute.
As far as Black Zetsu knows, the descendants left behind by Hamura Otsutsuki on the moon have gradually lost their horned features.
However, their bloodline is far more refined than that of the Hyuga clan on Earth.
Uchiha Kiyoshi was definitely a more troublesome character than Uchiha Madara.
"The way you look at Kiyoshi is terrifying."
Bai Jue said with a grin.
"You can read my eyes?"
Black Zetsu asked.
He was a life form resembling a pool of black liquid, without a fixed shape; his so-called eyes were just a pair of yellow circles.
