He had assumed that the Qing Si would appoint him as their leader.
Ultimately, the two decided on the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire.
Yahiko didn't think much of Kiyoshi's suggestion, assuming that Konan was just a rare female member of the Akatsuki and more pleasing to the eye.
It's not good for Xiao Nan to stay surrounded by men all the time; she needs to go out and see different scenery occasionally.
At this moment, on the other side, countless kilometers away.
Hinata Ginka knocked on a door.
"Please come in."
In the office stood Nohara Rin, wearing a white lab coat.
She was writing something on the table, and after a while she looked at Hinata Ginka and asked her to sit down.
Hinata Ginka came in and sat in the chair in front of Nohara Rin.
She was wearing a conservative kimono, and if you looked at her from behind the chair, you could see that the back of the kimono clung tightly to her back, outlining a delicate and smooth back groove, below which was the contour of her plump buttocks.
Black hair, fair skin, broad shoulders and a full figure... these graceful physical features can only belong to a mature woman.
Is there anything you'd like to ask?
"Nohara Rin said."
Now she has her own private office.
She usually works part-time at Konoha Hospital as a source of income to supplement her family's income and also to improve her medical skills.
"I want to know if Nobuhiko's condition has improved recently."
"Hyuga Nobuhiko, is that right? Let me look for him."
Nohara Rin had heard of Hinata Nobuhiko.
Such a unique case naturally garners some recognition.
She quickly found out Hinata Nobuhiko's current health status, as well as information such as whether his eyes were infected.
"much better."
Nohara Rin took out a report.
Hearing this, Hyuga Ginka felt a little relieved.
"Are there any extra eyes in the hospital for Nobuhiko?"
Hinata Ginka asked.
Nohara Rin shook her head upon hearing this.
This technology is not perfect.
She took many risks when she performed the transplant surgery on Kakashi.
While having the equipment can certainly increase the success rate significantly, the risks are still considerable.
Furthermore, the hospital did not have any extra eyes suitable for the Hyuga clan members.
The Hyuga clan has a thicker meridian system around their eyes than ordinary people, which makes it appear as if the veins on their foreheads are bulging when they use the Byakugan.
To find eyes suitable for Hyuga clan members, one must look for those whose eyeballs naturally have large meridian systems.
Of course, if you were to transplant a new pair of white eyes, you wouldn't need to be so particular.
Nohara Rin explained the difficulties to Hinata Ginka.
Hinata Ginka's face suddenly turned ugly, and her straight back hunched over.
squeak……
The chair made a sound.
"Feel sorry."
Hinata Ginka apologized to Nohara Rin, explaining that she was so excited that she almost lost control of her chakra and broke the chair.
"It's alright. If you want an eye transplant, you can ask Kiyoshi. He knows Lady Tsunade and Lady Orochimaru."
"Nohara Rin said."
Qing Si's network of connections is undeniably extensive.
I inherited the network of contacts that pharmacist Nono had built up in the hospital, and I also know Orochimaru, a leading figure in the field of scientific research.
As for Tsunade, needless to say, she is the best doctor at Konoha Hospital.
If he wants to attract attention, he should have some channels.
"Seiji?"
Hyuga Ginka murmured repeatedly.
In fact, she went to look for Kiyoshi, but Kiyoshi had gone to the Land of Rain on a mission, leaving Hinata Ginka empty-handed.
"I need to go again."
Hinata Ginka's secret passage.
After Hinata Ginka left, Nohara Rin stretched and tidied up all the documents for the day.
There are still a few minutes left before I get off work.
Hinata Ginka was the last person to come for a consultation.
"It's just me again."
Nohara Lin muttered to herself.
She stretched and found a piece of scrap paper on the table to pass the time by writing and drawing.
She drew a chibi version of Kiyoshi, deliberately making him look silly.
Then Nohara Rin added two devil horns to Kiyoshi's head.
"Hmph, going on a mission without saying a word, that's punishment."
Nohara Rin continued her tedious drawing, adding more details to the chibi version of Kiyoshi.
She had originally planned to ask Kiyoshi for advice on a medical ninjutsu, but Kiyoshi went out on a mission instead.
Nohara Rin waited for several days but didn't see him.
Engrossed in her drawing, Nohara Rin was completely unaware that a man in black robes was watching them from the rooftop of another building.
"Lin..."
Even though he kept telling himself that the Rin he was seeing was fake, Obito was still stirred.
He wanted to touch Lin.
He wanted to draw Lin's attention to him again.
"I... am actually wavering?"
Obito noticed that his palms were sweaty.
Seeing Lin in person again, couldn't I resist?
Obito was disappointed in his own weak nature.
Suddenly, Obito's pupils contracted.
The character Lin drew is... Kiyoshi?
Obito felt a surge of anger at the betrayal.
"What I have in my hand... is rain."
Obito raised his head.
The sky had turned gray and overcast at some point.
The rain fell from the sky and quickly became heavy.
The rain poured down and the cold wind howled.
Once again, a chilling wind blew through Obito's hellish, empty heart, as if it were coming from hell itself.
Tobi, who was attached to Obito, felt that Obito seemed to have changed again.
The "Hashirama cells" fused into Obito's body at an astonishing speed.
The human face shouldn't have appeared on him, but it became increasingly clear.
Ah Fei had only ever seen that face on Ban's chest.
"We need to speed up the plans on Nagato's side..."
Obito's voice became firm again and disappeared from the spot.
……
The next day.
Kiyoshi, Mikoto, Kurenai, and Asuma Sarutobi from the Land of Rain embark on their journey back together.
Thanks to Qing Si's heroic performance last night, they won the villagers' support and spent a relatively good night in the best house.
No longer needing to worry about Shennong and his disciple Makado's speed as they had on the way there, the four of them traveled much faster.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and Kiyoshi and the others arrived in Konoha, which they had been away from for a long time.
The first thing I did upon returning was to go to the Hokage Building to hand over the mission.
"How could something like this actually happen?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi puffed on his cigarette, remaining silent.
It almost turned into a crisis, but fortunately Qing Si did a good job and stopped Shennong in time.
If Shennong were to mass-produce those flying fortresses from the Land of the Sky, it would pose a challenge to Konoha.
By now, Konoha's military strength has been depleted after the Third Shinobi World War.
The ninja academy implemented a policy of early graduation, and graduates were required to take kunai to the battlefield immediately upon graduation.
"You did a very good job in the Qing Si."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Kiyoshi with satisfaction.
Whenever Hiruzen Sarutobi thinks about how he transferred Kiyoshi to the Anbu, he feels that he did the right thing.
For a high-potential genius like Kiyoshi, it's essential to invest in him early on and provide timely assistance.
Investing after a company has grown is called opportunistic or adding icing on the cake.
"It's nothing. Where leaves dance in the air, fire will burn forever. It's what I should do."
Qingsi said.
As for handing over the "Zero-Tail Technique," Kiyoshi had no intention of doing so at all.
The question is whether it was destroyed along with the royal capital and fortress.
Even if we investigate, all we'll find is ruins.
It's estimated that many villagers from the Land of Rain went to dismantle those parts to exchange for some money.
"Okay."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded again.
Then he looked at his good-for-nothing second son.
It instantly gave me the feeling that there's no harm without comparison.
"Asuma, you should learn from Kiyoshi."
Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke.
The setting sun frowned slightly.
He quietly took a small step back and moved behind Kiyoshi.
Hmm, Kiyoshi's scent is still the best.
