"No, no, the priestess's chakra cannot be leaked."
Maitreya resolutely refused.
The limit was that she could give Kiyoshi the shrine maiden's sealing technique, but Kiyoshi still wanted her chakra.
It would be disastrous if she used her chakra to do something to the demon.
After the incident with the Daimyo of the Land of Demons, Miroku became much more cautious in handling his power.
In her opinion, Kiyoshi was clearly a person who had gone astray and was capable of anything.
"You don't want His Highness, or people outside, to see me here, do you?"
Qing Si lowered his head and whispered in Maitreya's ear.
The intense heat hit Maitreya's skin, giving her goosebumps.
"you……!"
Maitreya's dignified and elegant face was almost red with anger.
This guy is still as shameless as ever!
He actually threatened her with such a reason.
"Your Highness the Miko."
Seeing that the daimyo looked tired while waiting at the door, the guards quickly helped him up with another person.
"Humph."
Maitreya could only let out a heavy snort to vent his dissatisfaction, while trying his best to keep the noise within the room.
"Here you go, but you need to cure His Highness's illness."
"no problem."
Kiyoshi took out a bottle of medicine and gave it to Miroku. Then he summoned a ninja sword and had Miroku infuse it into the red stone embedded in the blade's jaw.
This is the red stone from Miroku's original bell artifact. Kiyoshi disassembled it and forged it into his own ninja sword.
The red stone already contained some of the priestess's chakra, but it would diminish with each use.
There's not much left now, so Miroku needs to infuse it with new chakra.
"very good."
After it was over, Kiyoshi nodded in satisfaction, and the matter of the Land of Demons could now be concluded.
As for the priestess's further progress, that can wait until the experimental base is on the right track.
"Well then, see you next time, Your Highness the Priestess."
Kiyoshi made a polite greeting, pinched the Maitreya Buddha, and disappeared.
"This guy!"
Maitreya's aura made people's hearts flutter, and his dignified face was flushed.
She took several deep breaths, opened the door, and said in a nonchalant voice:
"You've arrived, Your Highness."
Maitreya walked out gracefully, her posture exuding the ethereal and sacred aura of a priestess.
Good morning, Maitreya.
When the daimyo of the Land of Demons saw the holy appearance of Miroku, his wrinkled old face looked like a chrysanthemum.
Suddenly, he noticed that the clothes of Chihaya behind Miroku were a little wrinkled.
Its shape looks like someone has pinched it.
"It must be because I arrived too early today, and Maitreya didn't have time to pack up."
The daimyo of the Land of Demons found a suitable reason in his mind.
What else could it be?
The daimyo didn't believe anyone could sneak into the shrine unnoticed.
Behind the shrine is where the shrine maidens rest, and in front is where rituals are performed; ordinary people are not even allowed to approach.
This shows that the priestesses of the Land of Demons are different from priestesses of other countries, and possess a transcendent status.
"Cough cough..."
The daimyo of the Land of Demons coughed twice.
Miroku handed the medicine that Kiyoshi had taken out to the daimyo, saying it was leftover from last time.
She glanced again at the empty room, wishing she had let Kiyoshi stay.
As long as you don't leave her room, it's fine.
Chapter 220 Newly Developed Ninjutsu, Heading to Ryuchi Cave, The Tremors of the White-Haired Girl's Dragon Tongue (82k)
Several days passed.
Grass Country Experimental Base.
Ruka wiped the sweat from her brow and planted a batch of vegetables in the experimental base.
This land is a vegetable area specially developed by Kiyoshi, and he brings a lot of seeds every time he comes.
When she has nothing to do, Uzumaki Karin grows vegetables here, which is enough to make her self-sufficient.
“It’s growing well.”
Whirlpool Rosewood looked at the fruits of its labor with satisfaction, like an old farmer who had a bountiful harvest.
Clang.
The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground came from the room outside the earthen wall.
Karin Uzumaki, used to this, washed the mud off her hands and ran to another room.
What comes into view is that Kiyoshi has arranged a series of sophisticated equipment, as well as various bottles and jars, in the spacious room.
It looks just like a place where researchers conduct experiments.
Karin Uzumaki secretly watched Kiyoshi.
After spending time together, she no longer felt the same fear of Kiyoshi as she had at the beginning.
On the contrary, she felt that Kiyoshi was not pretentious at all.
I only come here occasionally to replenish supplies and repair the base.
"Is there... anything I can do to help you?"
Finally, Karin Uzumaki spoke up and asked.
"Need not."
Kiyoshi turned around and glanced at her.
These devices weigh at least several tons and are sophisticated equipment manufactured using chakra technology. Kiyoshi doesn't believe that Uzumaki Karin, a half-baked ninja who hasn't received proper education, can control chakra to enhance her physical body and lift these heavy objects.
When ninjas don't use chakra, their physical abilities are much stronger than ordinary people, but the difference is limited and not an exaggeration.
Therefore, ninjas still experience pain, cold, and heat; they can also catch colds and get sick, and even be killed by ordinary people.
"I will reinforce the traps in this area during this period, so don't go too far unless necessary."
Qingsi said calmly.
His current attitude towards swirling rosewood is to let it grow freely.
Once we've nearly finished researching the power of the demons, we'll move on to studying the mysteries of the Uzumaki clan.
Kiyoshi's vitality is comparable to that of the Uzumaki clan, but he has no unique abilities.
The ocean is vast because it embraces all rivers; only by understanding all its mysteries can one reach the summit.
On this point, Kiyoshi shared the same idea as Orochimaru.
That is to learn all the ninjutsu.
Moreover, Kiyoshi is faster and stronger than Orochimaru. He was born with the Sharingan, which Orochimaru had been plotting his whole life to obtain.
It also has an incredibly mysterious entry panel.
The secret to the power of the Otsutsuki clan lies in consuming "dan" (elixir). It is unknown how many planets' resources one would need to extract to become the "Otsutsuki God"—the Otsutsuki Shibakai.
If Kiyoshi had that much time, he would have synthesized countless entries and reached an unimaginable level of power.
"Ah."
Whirlpool Karin nodded, her untrimmed red hair reaching her shoulders.
That vibrant hair color was as full of life as it was.
This reminded Kiyoshi of Kushina.
"The Uzumaki clan, huh."
Kiyoshi stroked his chin.
If he really blocked Mikoto or Kushina's spring passage, would Sasuke and Naruto become his sons, or would they disappear due to the butterfly effect?
Or perhaps Ashura and Indra's chakra will be reincarnated in other people, becoming new "Naruto" or "Sasuke"?
"Forget it, thinking about these things is too far ahead."
Qingsi shook his head.
The next moment, he refined his chakra and formed a hand seal.
Bang bang bang bang!
More than a dozen shadow clones appeared here.
Unlike ordinary shadow clones, Kiyoshi's shadow clones do not resemble him.
It is larger than Kiyoshi himself, especially its head, which takes up a third of its body size.
The person had the appearance of a puppet, with limbs that looked like they were made of wood, and no facial features, only a string of different numbers on their face.
There were twelve in total from the beginning.
The puppet-like clones in front of him were Kiyoshi's "Secret Technique: Puppet Clone," created based on the "Shadow Clone Technique."
The puppetry techniques that Sasori gave him contained the essence of Sunagakure's puppetry techniques, which gave Kiyoshi a lot of inspiration.
Some of these are Sasori's exclusive puppet techniques, which begin with "Red Secret Technique".
Therefore, Kiyoshi named the ninjutsu he created "Kiyoshi's Secret Technique".
"Chakra has been reduced to one-twelfth of its original amount."
Kiyoshi felt the remaining amount of chakra in his body.
All clone techniques that possess a physical form have one major flaw.
That means you need to divide your chakra equally, spreading out the chakra of your main body.
Even so, Kiyoshi has more chakra than the average ninja, so it won't affect his daily life too much.
Simply dismantle the puppet clones when you encounter a battle.
His chakra reserves are greater than those of Naruto in his normal state. Naruto's normal chakra reserves are approximately four times that of Kakashi in Shippuden after he recovered his previous level through training.
Kakashi possesses at least the chakra reserves of an elite Jonin, far exceeding those of ordinary Jonin, Chunin, and Genin.
In the ninja world, the amount of chakra a person possesses is a significant indicator of their strength.
Because when the same ninjutsu is released, the difference lies in the amount of chakra each person possesses.
"What... kind of ninjutsu is this?"
Looking at these strange puppet clones, Uzumaki Karin felt as if the one opposite her was a real puppet.
Cold and lifeless.
However, this was clearly formed from chakra separated from Kiyoshi, rather than a genuine puppet summoned by a spirit.
