Kiyoshi is strong and powerful, and he can even fly!

Such a technique would likely consume an enormous amount of chakra, which would mean that Kiyoshi's endurance and stamina would be... astonishing.

If it were Kiyoshi, it wouldn't be impossible for him to save Nobuhiko's life and rescue him.

Hinata Ginka stood there, lost in thought.

"what?"

Hinata Natsumi didn't hear Hinata Ginka's mutterings clearly.

"nothing."

Hinata Ginka shook her head, her expression indifferent.

This is not something that Hyuga Natsu, a servant, should know.

"what is that?"

"So bright!"

"Uchiha? I've never seen this technique before."

The people around him were making a fuss, looking at Qing Si with curiosity and awe.

They had seen techniques that could attach a certain chakra nature attribute to a person, but Kiyoshi's was clearly not one of them.

Who can possess chakra and cause changes to their physical body?

Golden vertical striped pupils, raised keratinized granulation tissue, and faintly visible scale patterns.

It gives people... a snake-like feeling.

"Sage Mode."

As Fugaku Uchiha watched Kiyoshi dissipate his chakra and gradually return to his original form, he seemed to understand something.

Besides Jiraiya possessing "Sage Mode," there are actually other rumors circulating about "Sage Modes."

Back then, Madara Uchiha obtained the "power of the Mangekyou Sharingan" and even used the Nine-Tails as a summoning beast. The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, relied on "Sage Mode" to fight against it.

The struggle between Madara and Hashirama took place several decades ago, and much of the information is recorded in the clan's ancient texts.

Normally, everyone is risking their lives, living the life of a ninja who lives on the edge of a knife, and they don't even have time to improve their strength, so few people read or study history books.

If it weren't for the Three Commandments of Ninjas, Fugaku probably would have led many ninjas into a life of debauchery and indulging in the present moment.

"A young man with great potential."

Hiashi Hyuga brought his clansmen over.

If Kiyoshi hadn't launched such a swift attack, disrupting the Kirigakure ninjas' formation, the situation might not have ended so easily.

"Fugaku, your Uchiha clan is full of talented people."

Hiashi Hyuga sighed.

"No, the same goes for nobles."

A smile appeared on Fugaku's square face.

Regardless, Kiyoshi's increased strength is a good thing for the Uchiha clan.

This war needs powerful ninjas.

If Konoha falls, the Uchiha clan will face being forced to wander the ninja world.

The Land of Whirlpools, founded by the Uzumaki clan, is the best example. It was once so powerful, and its sealing techniques reached the pinnacle of the entire ninja world, yet it ended up with the destruction of its country and the extinction of its clan.

Other ninja villages only wanted the Uchiha bloodline, not these remnants of the old regime.

After all, having obeyed the "Will of Fire" their entire lives, how could their loyalty possibly compare to that of the new generation who have been brainwashed since childhood?

"We'll take a break today."

After speaking with Hiashi for a while, Fugaku issued an order.

The crowd began carrying the wounded inside, cleaning up the battlefield, and redeploying the cordon.

Kiyoshi was immediately surrounded and received many congratulations.

Novel things always easily arouse people's curiosity.

After dealing with the crowd for a while, Qing Si squeezed through the crowd and walked into the tent.

It's time to harvest the puppet clones.

Kiyoshi would harvest the puppets every other day, dismantle their clones, and gain their various experiences.

"Kiyoshi, what kind of move was that?"

Kiyoshi hadn't gone far when Sarutobi Asuma ran over.

"Want to learn?"

Qing Si turned back.

Sarutobi Asuma scratched his head, genuinely curious about the ninjutsu Kiyoshi had used; it was so impressive.

"It's definitely going to be difficult, Asuma."

As the sun sets, crimson figures stroll gracefully towards her.

She was also very curious.

However, fearing that this move would be presumptuous and damage her image in Qing Si's eyes, she refrained from asking Qing Si.

"It's quite difficult. If you fail in your studies, you'll turn into a snake and get eaten."

Qingsi said calmly.

Even Orochimaru couldn't learn Ryuchi Cave's "Sage Mode." Kabuto Yakushi had to cobble together techniques and modify his body countless times to be able to withstand Ryuchi Cave's "Sage Mode."

The same applies to Mitsuki, whom Orochimaru cultivated. He was a gene-edited clone from the start, and even then, it took many experiments before he succeeded once.

Finally, Mitsuki was placed next to Boruto, forming a new trio for the new era.

"Turn into a snake?"

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Asuma began to have second thoughts.

This risk is far too high; it's no different from practicing forbidden techniques.

"Kiyoshi, there weren't any lasting effects, were there?"

Xihi Kurenai said worriedly.

I gently pinched Qing Si's strong arm and found that it was normal skin, without the scales of a snake.

"Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, also possesses this ability; you can consider it as the power of a Sage."

The corners of Qingsi's mouth rose slightly.

Is it really necessary to worry so much just because of something I said casually?

The "Sunset Red" training program is becoming increasingly mature.

Kiyoshi could tell that he held a significant place in Kurenai's heart.

In the original work, Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi would develop into lovers, but their relationship was far less close than depicted in the story.

Sarutobi Asuma's one-sided pursuit never seemed to receive a response from Yuhi Kurenai.

Thinking of this, Kiyoshi's pupil power increased slightly.

Yes, what you, Sarutobi Asuma, cannot obtain, I can obtain with ease.

The three chatted for a while until dusk fell.

Having arrived here, they naturally couldn't just sit around doing nothing. Soon, Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi left to attend to their respective missions.

Perhaps because he was new to the place, or perhaps because he had just performed brilliantly, Kiyoshi stayed in the tent without being assigned any tasks.

Kiyoshi was happy to have some peace and quiet, so he began his practice in the tent.

Bang.

The puppet clones were summoned by Kiyoshi and then vanished into smoke.

"The progress bar for the Fire Release Jonin attribute is at 95%."

Kiyoshi closed his eyes, sensing the experience after the puppet clones were released.

Directly dispelling the puppet clone will result in significant chakra depletion due to the distance.

The greater the distance, the greater the loss.

Therefore, unless it is an emergency, Kiyoshi usually summons a puppet clone and then dispels it.

The same thing happened last time in Ryuchi-dong, except that Kiyoshi's spiritual communication was quick and easy.

It's worth noting that he also has the entry for Summoning Ninja, because the White Snake entered its developmental stage and was promoted to Chunin.

The chakra consumption required for summoning has been greatly reduced, and the summoning process has been simplified. As long as there is a piece of cloth on your body with the summoning incantation written on it, you can immediately perform a summoning.

When the simple alarm clock in the Qing Si tent struck seven in the evening, the sound of footsteps rang out.

"Reached?"

Before even seeing the person, Kiyoshi knew who it was through his senses.

"It's Madam Yinhua. There shouldn't be any grudges between us anymore."

Kiyoshi pulled back the curtain, feigning confusion.

Hinata Ginka bit her lower lip, feeling like she was being pricked by Kiyoshi's gaze, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

But when she thought of Hyuga Nobuhiko, Hyuga Ginka still took a few deep breaths.

She forced a smile onto her delicate and beautiful face.

"Qing...Qingji...kun."

Seemingly out of reverence for Kiyoshi, Hinata Ginka found it difficult to speak, stammering out a single sentence over and over.

"So, Madam Yinhua can use the word 'respect' now. I thought you always treated everyone with a haughty attitude."

Kiyoshi smiled as he listened to Hinata Ginka's words.

Her smile was somewhat jarring, and Hinata Ginka buried her head deeply.

Asking for help from someone she once looked down on was indeed a difficult situation for Hyuga Ginka.

If I hadn't said those discriminatory things about the Uchiha clan and offended Kiyoshi, things probably wouldn't have turned out this way.

Hinata Ginka felt a pang of regret.

"Kiyoshi-kun is too kind. May I go in first?"

Hinata Ginka wore only a thin coat, which, as the cold wind blew, outlined her figure.

She tightened her body, afraid that her clansmen would see her in front of the Uchiha tent.

It wouldn't be good if gossip about me got out.

She just wanted to get inside as quickly as possible before saying anything.

"Isn't that inappropriate? I'm afraid people will gossip and spread rumors."

Kiyoshi said in a serious tone, as if expressing his fear that Hyuga Ginka would implicate him.

"..."

Hyuga Ginka almost couldn't hold back, and the veins in her snow-white eyes almost involuntarily surfaced, a trait only seen when using the Byakugan.

She's a young woman and she didn't say she was afraid of gossip, yet this guy, Kiyoshi, said such things.

Do you dislike her?

Hinata Ginka's stiff expression softened for a moment, replaced by an even more ingratiating smile.

"Kiyoshi-kun, actually, I have come here today with an important matter to ask of you."

"what's up?"

Qingsi smiled.

He already knew what Hinata Ginka wanted him to do.
