Fugaku then arranged for several Uchiha to be responsible for expressing the Uchiha's attitude to the Konoha high-rank and Kakashi.
No one will cherish things that are obtained too easily. So you need to first express that it is very difficult, and then make concessions.
And what Kiyoshi has to do is to seize this time point and get what he wants.
...
Two days passed in a flash.
"Finally, the scale has been expanded to the expected size." Kiyoshi breathed a sigh of relief.
He put down the kunai marked with the Flying Thunder God and hung it in a quiet room.
In addition to this place, Kiyoshi also set up several other hidden locations.
These are all coordinate points necessary to perform the Flying Thunder God Technique.
"The equipment in the laboratory cannot be taken away. So I have to purchase a batch of my own experimental equipment."
Kiyoshi walked out of the quiet room and poured himself a glass of water in the living room.
Yukari has been temporarily placed in the experimental base in Kusagakure.
Ringo stayed there for two days and has returned to Kirigakure.
The place Kiyoshi established is very hidden, and there are also many explosive tag traps set up. As long as Yukari doesn't run around, her safety won't be a big problem.
"Should I go to Orochimaru, or go to the Land of Demons to purchase a batch of equipment?"
Kiyoshi stroked the smooth wall of the water glass.
If he goes to Orochimaru for such a large amount of purchase, Orochimaru will definitely be curious, causing unnecessary probing.
As for the Land of Demons, he can try it in the name of the Priestess.
"Forget it, Orochimaru said to let me go to Ryuchi Cave." Kiyoshi shook his head.
He planned to go to Orochimaru after the end of Rin's matter.
Orochimaru happened to go out to perform a mission during this time, so he has to wait for him to come back.
"Hiss..."
A white snake emerged from Kiyoshi's sleeve and lied on the cold floor skillfully.
Summoned beasts grow very fast. Once they pass the "childhood" stage, they will enter the rapidly growing "puberty" stage.
Her body is thicker than a bus, and she is so long that she can circle Kiyoshi's house several times.
The current size is the result of the white snake using the "Transformation Technique" to suppress it.
Otherwise, it would be too eye-catching and inconvenient.
But the white snake's body is still smaller than Orochimaru's summoned beast Manda, and there is still much room for growth.
While thinking, Kiyoshi opened the Trait panel.
These days, going back and forth between Kusagakure and the Land of Fire, such continuous draining of chakra, and then using military ration pills to recover, has given Kiyoshi two good blue traits.
The first is [Spring (Blue)].
The completion requirement is to consume chakra reserve to only 1% within a day, repeated ten times.
The effect is to increase the recovery speed of chakra by 40% when the amount of chakra left is 10%.
There is also a Trait called [Gluttonous Mouth (Blue)].
The completion requirement corresponds to the above Trait, and it is necessary to use military ration pills to recover Chakra when the total Chakra is only 1% of chakra reserves ten times within a day.
If it weren't for Kiyoshi's amazing physique, he would be dizzy and listless if he used Chakra to the point of only 5%, let alone 1%.
Once the amount of chakra drops to 0%, you will die from exhaustion.
Naruto and Sasuke almost died of exhaustion in the battle of the Valley of the End, and could only fight hand-to-hand later.
Both of them waited for their chakra to recover a little before using the final move to determine the victory.
"This is not bad."
Kiyoshi looked at the words on the Trait panel, closed it, and swallowed a military ration pill casually.
The effect of [Gluttonous Mouth (Blue)] allows Kiyoshi to continuously enhance the energy of the flesh by eating things, store it in the cells, and not change the body shape.
This is very similar to the Akimichi clan's secret ninjutsu, gathering all the power into their body through a special calorie control method.
At the critical moment, it can convert the calories accumulated from eating and drinking into energy, greatly improving his body functions.
Choji's "Butterfly Choji Mode" is the same principle.
"It's time to go find Kakashi."
Kiyoshi called out to the white snake. The white snake darted into his sleeve in a flash.
Kakashi is being discharged from the hospital today, just in time to join the Anbu.
…
Before long, Kiyoshi passed a small fish pond and arrived in front of a large mansion.
Kakashi's house looked much more dilapidated than before, probably because Kakashi wasn't in the mood to take care of it.
"Let's go, Kakashi." Kiyoshi called out to Kakashi.
Kakashi opened the door and came out.
His mental state seemed to be a little better than in the hospital. But he still looked haggard.
The two of them went to the Anbu together.
"Kiyoshi, is this the new junior?"
An Anbu ninja wearing a mask looked at Kakashi, whom Kiyoshi had brought.
"That's right, he is Hatake Kakashi, our new comrade." Kiyoshi said.
He didn't perform many Anbu missions as he spent most of his time on the battlefield. But he had also met some new comrades.
"Hatake…"
The Anbu ninja thought of something.
Kakashi watched Kiyoshi negotiate without any expression on his face.
Afterwards, Kiyoshi took Kakashi to collect the necessary supplies and tattooed a red tattoo on his arm.
Just as he was about to leave, a figure walked from the end of the corridor.
Kiyoshi narrowed his eyes slightly.
It was Danzo.
"Uchiha Kiyoshi, this should be our first official meeting."
Danzo paused, then looked at Kakashi and said, "And you, Hatake Kakashi."
"I wonder what brings Danzo-sama to us?"
Kiyoshi looked at Danzo with a calm expression.
He had the Flying Thunder God Technique, so even if he couldn't beat Danzo, he could still run away.
Moreover, he also had the Orochimaru-Style Substitution Technique to withstand several fatal injuries.
In other words, even if Danzo set up an ambush to sneak attack, he could still escape.
However, with Danzo's character, he would only secretly act behind the scenes.
Facing him head-on was actually safer.
After all, Danzo's biggest trump card was the "Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique." Other than that, he had at most transplanted a Sharingan, which could use "Izanagi" once.
Danzo, who cherished his life, would not act rashly.
"Indeed, I appreciate you very much." Danzo looked at Kiyoshi.
This Uchiha was not afraid of him at all. This was rare among the Uchiha.
He was the leader of the Root, ordinary ninjas didn't know of his existence, but those Uchiha from large clans couldn't possibly not know.
"Staying with Hiruzen will only bury you. Why not come to this old man's side?" Danzo held out his hand.
To deal with the Uchiha, the best way was to cultivate an Uchiha from within.
Kiyoshi's talent was truly outstanding, which made Danzo, who had planned to win him over after a while, advance his plans.
"The Orochimaru you admire also has a close relationship with me."
Seeing that Kiyoshi hadn't spoken for a long time, Danzo threw out bait.
The Root had a good understanding of Kiyoshi and knew that he had been in contact with Orochimaru.
The two had even conducted some research together.
It was normal for a young man like Kiyoshi to admire the Sannin.
"…"
Kakashi's dead fish eyes widened slightly.
Was this… a Konoha high-ranking official extending an olive branch to Kiyoshi?
Kakashi guessed in his heart.
He secretly thought that Kiyoshi was indeed powerful.
Then he thought of his own failure and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Whether as a ninja or as a person, he was falling further and further behind Kiyoshi.
"That won't be necessary, Danzo-sama."
Kiyoshi used honorifics, but there was no respectful expression on his face.
Following Danzo?
Waiting to be branded with the "Tongue Severing Seal"?
Danzo was looking for him now, no doubt with the same intention as with Itachi.
Wanting to use him to deal with the Uchiha.
