"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Kiyoshi said.
With the Flying Thunder God Technique, he can travel incredibly fast as long as he has enough chakra.
In addition, his physique, accumulated over time, is different from ordinary people, and he has forged a powerful physical body.
He can tolerate and digest military rations pills faster than other ninjas, which means that he not only has a large amount of chakra but also high chakra endurance.
"Mikoto-san, with Kiyoshi having the Flying Thunder God Technique, I don't think there will be much of a problem." Minato proactively explained for Kiyoshi.
After dealing with the enemy, he had asked the others for details about the incident.
Minato sighed inwardly at Obito's death.
At the same time, he also learned that the forbidden jutsu Kiyoshi had chosen from the Scroll of Seals was the same as his own, Flying Thunder God.
"But Kiyoshi, using it like that consumes a lot of chakra. Once your chakra is depleted, the outcome for a ninja is death."
Minato was very interested in Kiyoshi's method of using it, but unfortunately, his chakra reserves did not support such extravagance.
He still needed to conserve chakra for Rasengan. Otherwise, he could only attack with kunai, which wouldn't deal enough damage.
Minato didn't possess Kiyoshi's ability to enchant ninja tools.
"Is that so..."
Mikoto frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Then she remembered that, just as Minato said, Kiyoshi knew Space-Time Ninjutsu, so he might return to the village faster than others.
In the end, Kiyoshi got his wish and stayed in the Land of Grass.
Early the next morning, when everyone else had left, Kiyoshi also departed.
He didn't continue deeper into the Land of Grass immediately but went to the border area between the Land of Grass and the Land of Fire.
That was also one of the places contested by Kirigakure.
"Ho, you actually came to see me on your own."
By the gently flowing stream, Ringo stood with her arms crossed, carrying Kiba on her back.
"How did you handle Raiga?" Kiyoshi said indifferently.
Before leaving, he hadn't killed Raiga, leaving him for Ringo to deal with.
The two had also left a secret code as a way to meet next time.
Ringo wanted treatment, and Kiyoshi wanted to use her as a subordinate. The two hit it off and decided to cooperate.
The current Kirigakure is not the harmonious Kirigakure of the future. It's filled with betrayal, violence, and bloodshed every moment.
In such a dark and oppressive environment, it was obvious how much loyalty Kiri ninjas would have to Kirigakure.
If it were a normal ruler, they would certainly not do such a foolish thing that would destroy their own foundation.
It was just that Madara had already influenced Kirigakure and even controlled it from behind the scenes.
In the future, Rin was taken away by Kirigakure Anbu and had the Three-Tails sealed within her. Obito returned just in time to see Rin killed by Kakashi.
This part of Madara's plan plunged the love-crazed Obito into madness.
Being able to control so many Kirigakure Anbu...
This showed that Madara's control over Kirigakure was undeniably deep.
However, Madara only intended to use Kirigakure as a tool and wouldn't care about its survival.
"Hmph, killed him." Ringo said flatly.
Keeping Raiga would only expose the secret, and someone like him had long deserved to die.
He had killed many of his comrades when he participated in the village's internal selection exam back then. Now it was just his turn to be killed.
"Not bad." Kiyoshi nodded.
Ringo was truly suitable to be a subordinate.
"Half a year's worth."
Kiyoshi threw out a bottle of medicine containing flowing black liquid.
Ringo grinned, revealing her shark-like white teeth. She caught the medicine bottle Kiyoshi threw and immediately drank it.
Feeling her body become much better, Ringo looked up and stared at Kiyoshi, asking, "So, you must have something you need me for."
The wind by the stream blew against Ringo. Her shoulder-length red hair flew loosely, with a few strands blowing onto her delicate face.
Kiyoshi had casually mentioned before that her previous hairstyle was too strange, so Ringo hadn't kept it since.
Kiyoshi said, "That's right, I need you to help me establish a base, located within the borders of the Land of Grass."
Keeping the base in the Land of Fire was too dangerous. It was more suitable in a small country like the Land of Grass.
Later, Kiyoshi was going to attempt some relatively radical experiments.
For example, the deep fusion of Mōryō's power and beasts, creating an Assembly line factory.
Supplementing Mōryō's power through the negative emotions of beasts and harvesting it in batches.
This way, he would have a continuous supply of Mōryō's power and could conduct further research.
Once Mōryō's power is no longer scarce, he can begin experiments with Mōryō's power and Sage Jutsu, Mōryō's power and Sharingan, Mōryō's power and ninjutsu, and so on.
There was simply too much that could be done.
After all, Mōryō's power was actually a special existence, similar to Yin Release Chakra.
The Dark Chakra created by Shinno was also of this type.
Perhaps... he could even try to let the White Snake control Mōryō's power, allowing her to evolve.
Shinno's forbidden jutsu allowed such chakra to be used by humans, and it might also allow summoning beasts to use it this way.
In that case, the White Snake wouldn't be too useless later on. Instead, she would become Kiyoshi's aid.
