"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first, Danzo-sama."
With that said, Kiyoshi stepped past Danzo. He also gave Kakashi a hand gesture.
A trace of doubt flashed in Kakashi's eyes, not understanding why Kiyoshi rejected Danzo, who seemed to be a high-ranking Konoha official.
Without much hesitation, Kakashi followed Kiyoshi out.
Kiyoshi was his Anbu senior now, so naturally he had to listen to Kiyoshi's opinions more.
"Hmph, as expected of the naturally evil Uchiha."
Danzo, who was left alone, had a gloomy expression.
Kiyoshi actually ignored him like that.
"Nono…"
Danzo suddenly thought of someone.
If he remembered correctly, Nono was Kiyoshi's teacher.
If he brought Nono back, maybe he could use her to restrain Kiyoshi.
The Uchiha clan was a demonic clan, but also a "clan of love."
This sounded contradictory to their evil, but it was actually because they had too much love in their hearts, which turned into hatred.
Danzo deeply remembered the teachings of the Second Hokage, Tobirama, during his lifetime.
According to this theory, Kiyoshi should also be sentimental.
Coincidentally, Konoha needed excellent spies to infiltrate enemy countries recently.
He had previously had the idea of bringing Nono back.
"Ryūma, go investigate Nono's orphanage."
Danzo returned to the Root and immediately summoned his capable subordinate.
"Yes, Danzo-sama." Ryūma nodded respectfully.
…
After going out, Kiyoshi exchanged a few pleasantries with Kakashi and returned to his home.
For the next few days, Kiyoshi stayed at home to rest.
He had previously obtained [Lightning Release Jonin (Purple)], and he also had to obtain [Fire Release Jonin (Purple)], [Swordsmanship Jonin (Purple)], and other traits to see if he could trigger higher-rank traits.
The experiments on Mōryō's power in Kusagakure also had to be kept up.
To save time, he wrote a letter to other ninjas, sending the letter along with a special kunai to the Land of Demons.
In the ninja world, there's also a special type of ninja called "Courier Ninjas," who are mainly responsible for transmitting mail between countries or ninja villages.
Kiyoshi only said that this kunai was a souvenir for Miroku, so there was no need to worry about the risk of leakage.
Just as Kiyoshi finished organizing his next plan and planned to continue optimizing the "Shadow Clone Technique" to improve his learning efficiency, someone came to visit outside the door.
A look of anticipation flashed across Kiyoshi's lips. He had already guessed who was coming.
The white snake moved its body, using its nimble tail to open the door.
It also pointed to the room with its tail.
With her current intelligence, she could only do these simple things.
Perhaps because she came from the Summoning Island, Kiyoshi felt that the white snake was a bit clumsy.
Fortunately, her physical body grew faster than ordinary summoned beasts, making her easier to use when clearing miscellaneous fodders on a large scale.
"Sit down, Rin."
Kiyoshi made a gesture of invitation.
Seeing Kiyoshi being so polite, Rin felt uneasy instead.
"Rin, have you encountered any difficulties?" Kiyoshi asked knowingly.
Rin hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly.
These past two days, she had heard the public opinion in the village, and some of the voices were shouting for Kakashi to return the Sharingan.
"It's… it's about Kakashi's Sharingan." Rin said softly.
"That matter, huh."
Kiyoshi pretended to be enlightened.
In his heart, he secretly thought that some Uchiha had probably gone to pressure Kakashi.
Moreover, apart from the Uchiha, other Kekkei genkai ninja clans were also very wary of this matter.
For example, the Hyūga clan, which was also a large clan of dōjutsu, had many Hyūga clansmen clamoring that Kakashi should return the Sharingan.
They didn't want to see someone wandering around with Byakugan, so the precedent of transplanting Kekkei Genkais must not be set.
"Rin, you need to know that this matter is of great importance, and the people in the clan are very concerned about it."
Kiyoshi tapped the table with his finger.
He spoke of the aggressive side of the Uchiha clan on this matter.
Kiyoshi was just selectively telling some truths.
The people in the clan had always been concerned about this matter, but it was only because of the possibility of an Uchiha becoming Hokage that this expectation suppressed the dissatisfaction in their hearts.
If they didn't get their wish by then, it would probably only lead to a more intense backlash.
At this time, Guren, wearing a clean little dress, brought up two cups of tea.
"Kiyoshi-sama, tea."
"Your tea ceremony has improved a lot, keep up the good work." Kiyoshi took a sip and said.
Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Guren's face, and she carefully took the plate and went to the kitchen to stay.
Sensible children are better at observing words and expressions than ordinary people.
She knew when she could stay in the living room with Kiyoshi and when she couldn't.
Kiyoshi nodded in satisfaction.
It was no wonder Orochimaru would want to make Guren his first vessel, this awareness was indeed good.
Rin felt ashamed when she heard this, and was embarrassed to look at Kiyoshi, and also embarrassed to look at Guren.
She knew that this matter was of great importance, and she shouldn't be looking for Kiyoshi, who's position was with the Uchiha.
But thinking of Kakashi's decadent appearance, Rin bit the bullet and wanted Kiyoshi to say some good words to the other Uchiha.
"I know, but that was Obito's last wish…" Rin said in a pleading tone.
She really didn't want the bond between Kakashi and Obito to be destroyed like this. She also wanted Kakashi to have the motivation to continue living.
She was really afraid that Kakashi would walk down his father's old path.
"Alright, I will try my best to give it a try." Kiyoshi said with difficulty.
Whenever someone asks for help, you must act very difficult.
This effect is the best.
The naive and kind Rin felt a little guilty when she saw Kiyoshi like this.
Apart from the time when Kiyoshi first came to school, Rin helped Kiyoshi learn some basics.
After that, Kiyoshi was helping her. But she still troubled Kiyoshi like this.
What could she do to help Kiyoshi?
A question flashed in Rin's mind.
"Kiyoshi, thank you." Rin thanked him sincerely.
She finally raised her eyes to look at Kiyoshi.
Whether it was an illusion or not, she actually felt that Kiyoshi's eyes were a bit scorching.
Rin, who had a beautiful appearance, had no shortage of people who admired her since she was a child.
She was very familiar with this kind of look. Suddenly, Rin recalled what Kiyoshi and Samui had done.
That scene that impacted her worldview was still deeply imprinted in her mind.
Could it be that Kiyoshi is…
