Chapter 541
Kakashi: Expired milk, is this the treatment for a hero's son?
"She awakened a new bloodline limit."
Lin's expression was somewhat complicated.
“Last week, during my internship in the medical class, a patient’s wound suddenly worsened, and Mio instinctively reached out to press it… and the wound healed.”
"Healing ability?"
"more than."
Lin took out a scroll from her bosom and unfolded it.
The experimental data is recorded in detail above.
"We conducted tests, and Mio's chakra has extremely strong life activity, which can accelerate cell regeneration..."
Rindo Nohara.
"Is that so..."
Kiyoshi stroked his chin.
Judging from the effects, it sounds somewhat like the "physical healing" of the Uzumaki clan.
However, Kiyoshi didn't find it strange.
After all, his bloodline is all-encompassing.
Moreover, the most important aspect of bloodline limits is mutation and aberration.
The properties resulting from mutation can usually be inherited by future generations.
This eventually led to the formation of the so-called ninja clan.
It is possible that new bloodline limits will develop in the ninja world today.
…………
the other side.
Konoha Year 62, a parallel world.
The afterglow of dusk bathed the training ground in a dark gold hue. Kakashi stood alone on the training ground that Team 7 often used, his fingers unconsciously stroking the cover of "Icha Icha Hell".
He bought this at a bookstore in this world; the author is "tap water".
Footsteps came from behind.
"Teacher Kakadong!"
A clear, pleasant female voice rang out.
Kakashi's body stiffened slightly, but he reacted instantly.
In this world, his name is Kakadon.
He slowly turned around, scrutinizing the newcomer with his exposed right eye.
three children.
At the front was a blonde girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing an orange tracksuit, with bright blue eyes that seemed to glow.
She had a bright smile on her face, and six faint mustache-like lines on her cheeks.
Naruko Uzumaki.
Kakashi's pupils contracted slightly.
In his world, Naruto is a black-haired, black-eyed boy who grew up under Kushina's loving care and is a recognized genius.
And the girl in front of me...
She has absolutely no relation to Kushina; she was born to another member of the Uzumaki clan.
Kakashi was pondering what kind of sealing techniques Kushina would use in this world.
Because Kiyoshi seemed to care a lot about sealing techniques, he also asked them to gather information in that area.
"Nine-Tailed Fox!"
A middle-aged ninja passing by the edge of the training ground cursed under his breath and spat on the ground.
Naruko's smile dimmed slightly for a moment, but she quickly cheered up and ran to Kakashi:
"Teacher Kaka Dong, what are you doing here? Didn't you say you were going to help your great-grandfather with some documents today?"
Kakashi paused for two seconds, then responded in a languid tone:
"Ah, I've changed my mind at the last minute."
His gaze swept over the other two children.
The black-haired boy stood not far away, his hands in his pockets, his expression so gloomy it could drip water.
Kakashi confirmed in his mind: Uchiha Sasuke.
Sasuke in this world looks even more gloomy, with a deep-seated hatred buried in his eyes.
The pink-haired girl stood next to Sasuke, dressed in pink, and was looking at him cautiously.
Sakura Haruno looks almost exactly like Sakura from Kakashi's world.
"Teacher Kaka Dong is acting strangely today."
Naruko tilted her head and looked him over.
"Shouldn't you usually be watching 'Make-Out Paradise'? Why are you holding 'Make-Out Hell'?"
Kakashi was startled, realizing he had taken the wrong book.
In his original world, the "Intimate Hell" series had already become a best-selling classic, while here there are only "Intimate Paradise" and "Intimate Violence" written by amateurs.
"Let's try something different."
He gave a perfunctory reply while quickly observing the three children.
Zuo Zhu stepped forward, squinting as he sized him up:
"Kakato-sensei, you promised to teach me a new ninjutsu today."
Kakashi frowned.
Will the "Kakato" of this world agree to teach Sasuke ninjutsu?
What will it be?
"Raychi"?
No, the fourth Hokage in this world is Namikaze Hinata, and he probably hasn't even developed the Lightning Blade yet...
"Come with me."
Kakashi said, then turned and walked deeper into the training ground.
The three children exchanged a glance and followed.
…………
Deep inside the training ground is a relatively secluded clearing surrounded by trees.
Kakashi stopped and turned to face Sasuke.
Naruko and Sakura consciously stepped aside to watch.
What do you want to learn?
Kakashi asked.
A hint of doubt flashed in Zuo Zhu's eyes:
"Didn't the teacher say he'd teach me a high-speed thrusting ninjutsu that I could use in conjunction with the Sharingan? You said that technique was called 'Lightning Blade'."
really.
Kakashi thought to himself, "Kakato in this world is also researching similar techniques."
"The 'Raikiri' technique requires extremely high chakra control."
Kakashi said slowly.
"Moreover, the risk is very high, so it's actually not very suitable for use."
Kakashi shook his head.
If this technique is used incorrectly and it ends up hitting the enemy, it's practically suicide.
He learned this the hard way.
Zuo Zhu's face darkened, and his fists clenched:
"When will that be? I need to get stronger so I can take revenge on that man!"
Kakashi looked at the urgency and hatred in the boy's eyes and thought of Sasuke from their world.
That child also longed for power, but his eyes were clearer.
"I'll teach you another technique."
Kakashi suddenly said.
"Purple Lightning."
"Purple Lightning?"
Zuo Zhu frowned.
"what is that?"
Naruko and Sakura also curiously moved closer.
Kakashi extended his right hand, palm facing up.
Chakra began to condense, emitting crackling electrical sounds.
However, unlike the common blue lightning release, this chakra was a deep purple, with finer arcs and a sharper sound.
"This is a technique I improved upon based on the Raikiri technique."
Kakashi explained.
This was actually developed and taught to him by Kiyoshi in the later stages of the original world.
"The current of 'Purple Lightning' is more concentrated, requiring less chakra control, which suits you better right now."
He paused, then looked at Zuo Zhu:
"More importantly, Purple Lightning can be used in conjunction with dynamic vision without the Sharingan to achieve ultra-high-speed thrusting attacks, and..."
Kakashi flipped his hand, and purple lightning suddenly spread out, forming an electric net that covered an area of three meters in front of him:
"It can also be used like this."
Zuo Zhu's eyes lit up.
Naruko exclaimed:
"Amazing!"
Sakura, meanwhile, focused intently on Kakashi's hand gestures, trying to memorize the flow of chakra.
"To learn this skill, you need to do three things."
Kakashi withdrew his chakra.
"First, train your lightning-style chakra transformation to the point where you can completely cut through a leaf. Second..."
He looked into Zuo Zhu's eyes:
"You need to be able to anticipate the enemy's movements, not by copying with the Sharingan, but by genuine prediction."
Zuo Zhu took a deep breath:
What should I do?
"Start with the basics."
Kakashi took out three bells from his ninja tool bag.
This is the equipment he replenished in this world.
"Once you snatch the bell, I'll begin teaching you properly."
Naruko immediately jumped up:
"They're stealing the bells again! Teacher Kakadon is so cunning!"
Sakura whispered:
"We're sure we can get it this time..."
Kakashi watched as the three children looked eager to try.
In his world, Naruto and Sasuke had long since surpassed this stage of training.
And this world...
"Let's begin."
He tied the bell around his waist.
The three children immediately scattered and went into battle mode.
…………
Konoha, the main world, evening.
Sakura Haruno sat cross-legged on the floor of her bedroom, with the scroll that Kiyoshi had given her spread out in front of her.
Only one desk lamp was on in the room, its dim light illuminating the dense text and meridian diagrams.
She had been sitting like that for three hours.
Sweat soaked her short pink hair, which clung to her forehead.
The cheongsam was soaked with sweat, clinging to her body and outlining the curves of her budding figure.
But she didn't care at all, her mind completely absorbed in the flow of chakra within her body.
Following the scroll's guidance, she directed the chakra along specific meridian pathways.
With each cycle, I could feel subtle changes.
But the process was extremely painful.
It felt like countless tiny needles were piercing my body, or like flames were burning every inch of my muscles.
Sakura gritted her teeth, drawing blood from her lower lip, but she didn't stop.
"To catch up with them... we must persevere..."
Images of the ice lotus blooming in Naruto's palm and Sasuke's elegant movements as he threw shuriken flashed through my mind.
After a while.
Sakura collapsed onto the floor, panting heavily.
My clothes were completely soaked, as if I had been pulled out of the water.
But strangely, after the pain subsided, my body felt a lightness I had never experienced before.
She struggled to sit up, trying to gather chakra.
This time, the chakra gathered in his palm almost the instant he conceived the thought, at an astonishing speed.
Sakura stared wide-eyed at the solid mass of chakra in her palm.
This is not a dream.
The cultivation method given to her by Lord Kiyoshi truly enabled her to make a qualitative leap in just a few days.
She stood up and walked to the mirror.
The girl in the mirror was pale, but her eyes were unusually bright.
Her already delicate features seemed even more defined, and her body lines became more toned.
Not the kind of bulging muscles, but a well-proportioned physique full of strength.
Sakura gently clenched her fist, and could feel the power contained within it.
She tried throwing a punch at the air, and the force of the punch actually created a slight gust of air.
"Very good……"
She murmured to herself, tears welling up in her eyes.
But the next second, she suddenly froze.
In the mirror, there seems to be a hint of...red light deep within my eyes?
It's very faint, almost invisible, but it definitely exists.
She remembered what Kiyoshi had said:
Your chakra nature will gravitate towards mine.
This means that she is being branded by the Qing Si.
"As long as I can fight alongside Naruto and Sasuke..."
She whispered to herself.
"Any price is acceptable."
Moreover, the Fourth Hokage, Kiyoshi, was someone admired by the entire Hidden Leaf Village. Sakura didn't think that the lord had any flaws; on the contrary, she felt very honored.
…………
The capital of the Fire Nation, Kyoto, Daming Mansion.
The once magnificent reception room now appears somewhat deserted.
The once treasure-filled display cabinet was now half empty, and the valuable calligraphy and paintings on the walls had been removed.
The servants packed their luggage quietly, and a heavy silence filled the air.
His former name was Da Ming; he should now be called Duke Yuan.
The surname of the daimyo of the Land of Fire is "Edge". He sat in the main seat, his fingers unconsciously stroking the jade inlaid on the armrest.
He is only twenty-six years old this year, but he looks ten years older right now.
"Sir, the last batch of luggage has been loaded onto the truck."
The steward bowed and reported.
Duke Yuan nodded without saying a word.
His gaze swept over the room where he had lived for half a year.
Six months ago, his father passed away, and he inherited the title of Daimyo.
I thought I was about to achieve great things, but unexpectedly...
"Qingji..."
He whispered the name.
Do you hate it?
Of course I hate it.
This man took everything from him in an almost domineering way.
But besides hatred, there was also a deep sense of powerlessness.
When Kiyoshi tore through space, allowing Konoha ninjas to appear in every important location in the capital, and when officials from all over the country turned against him, Duke En realized one thing.
Power is everything.
It's all just that the ninjas are willing to follow the rules.
If a ninja refuses to follow the rules, there's nothing they can do.
After all, Kiyoshi's power was simply too great.
Even if the ninjas of the Land of Fire were to unite, they might not be able to defeat him.
Moreover, he is the Hokage of Konoha, so how could any ninja rebel against him?
"Sir, it's time to go."
The butler reminded him softly.
"The personnel in charge of taking over Konoha have arrived at the front hall."
Duke Yuan took a deep breath and stood up.
He changed into a simple dark blue kimono, no longer the gorgeous robes of a daimyo.
From this day forward, he will be nothing more than the Duke of the Round, a nobleman with no real power.
Step out of the reception room, walk through the long corridor, and arrive at the front hall.
A group of people were already standing there.
The leader was a man wearing a white imperial robe and a red haori over it.
Her black hair was tied back, and keratinized horns were faintly visible on both sides of her forehead.
He had his back to the door and was looking at an ancient painting hanging on the wall.
Hearing footsteps, Kiyoshi turned around.
"The Duke of Round".
Qing Si nodded slightly.
Duke Yuan suppressed the turmoil in his heart and bowed in return:
"Lord Hokage."
"Your accommodations have been arranged. Your family and servants can move in. Your annual salary will be paid on time."
Kiyoshi's voice was indifferent.
"If you have any special needs, you can make a request to the Konoha office in the capital."
This treatment was given to him by Kiyoshi because he was sensible.
It was also meant to show other officials that obeying him would not bring any harm.
Of course, if you want to resist, then go talk to those ANBU ninjas; they won't be merciful.
"...Thank you."
Duke Yuan uttered those two words with difficulty.
Kiyoshi nodded and said no more.
He turned and walked toward the main seat of the Daming Mansion.
"From this day forward, I shall be the Daimyo of the Land of Fire."
"The country will be directly ruled by Konoha. The existing administrative system will be retained, but the highest decision-making power will belong to the Hokage. The privileges of local lords will be re-evaluated, the tax system will be reformed, and the relationship between ninjas and commoners will be redefined."
With each word he spoke, the Duke of Round's face paled a little more.
As soon as Qing Si took office, he wanted to carry out reforms.
It can be said that a new broom sweeps clean.
Kiyoshi finally sat down.
The moment he sat in the main seat, a subtle change occurred in the flow of chakra throughout the entire Daimyo Prefecture, no, throughout the entire capital city.
An invisible barrier unfolded centered on Kiyoshi, enveloping the entire city.
This is a barrier of perception and connection.
Through it, Qing Si could sense any unusual activity in the capital at any time and could also transmit orders to every corner at any time.
At the same time, deep within Kiyoshi's consciousness, new information appeared on the term panel.
"You have mastered the entry: [Daimyo of the Land of Fire (Red)]".
[Entry: Daimyo of the Land of Fire (Red)]
[Requirement achieved: Abolish the old daimyo system and establish a new political system with yourself as the supreme ruler]
Progress: (Completed)
【Effect:
When you use ninjutsu within the Land of Fire, your chakra consumption is reduced by 50%.
You can sense the chakra fluctuations of all Jonin-level beings within the Land of Fire.
You can draw upon the natural energy of the Land of Fire's ley lines to amplify the power of your ninjutsu by 300%.
The efficiency of your decrees in the Land of Fire is increased by 300%.
The people of the Land of Fire will gradually increase their approval rating of you over time.
You have received "Divine Blessing" within the Land of Fire, reducing the damage you take by 30%.
[Advanced Path 1: Unify the entire ninja world and establish a unified government; this will grant you the title "Lord of the Ninja World".]
Kiyoshi closed his eyes, sensing the changes brought about by the new entry.
Chakra flowed more smoothly within his body, and the earth vein energy of the Land of Fire was like a gentle river, readily available for use.
He could even vaguely sense several powerful chakra sources on the land, which were probably hidden strongmen or special creatures in various places.
But this is not enough.
"Unify the entire ninja world..."
Kiyoshi opened his eyes and looked towards the northeast.
That place is the Land of Lightning, where the Fourth Raikage, A, is preparing for war.
To the west lies the Land of Wind, and Sunagakure has already been infiltrated by Konoha.
The Land of Earth in the northwest, the Land of Water in the east...
There's also the Otsutsuki in the sky.
And, those parallel worlds waiting to be developed.
"step by step."
Kiyoshi muttered to himself.
…………
The battle in the training ground is over.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura sat on the ground, panting heavily and covered in bruises, but none of them managed to snatch the bell.
Kakashi stood there leisurely, three bells jingling at his waist.
"It's still a long way off."
He spoke in his usual lazy tone.
"But it's an improvement over last time; at least they know how to cooperate now."
Naruko retorted defiantly:
"Kakato-sensei is cheating. We clearly agreed that we wouldn't use the Sharingan."
"I really am useless."
Kakashi shrugged.
Zuo Zhu remained silent with a gloomy face.
During the battle just now, he tried several times to copy Kakashi's movements with his Sharingan, but he was always a beat too slow.
This "Kakato-sensei's" fighting style... is somewhat different from what he remembers.
It seems even more powerful.
They were stealing bells on the very first day, but even after all this time, they're still trying to steal them and haven't improved at all.
That's all for today.
Kakashi glanced at the sky.
"Zuo Zhu, you stay here. I will give you individual guidance on the basic training of Zi Dian."
Naruko and Sakura exchanged a glance, then got up and left.
After the two had walked away, Kakashi turned to Sasuke.
By interacting more with Naruto, Sasuke, and others, Kakashi felt he could gather a lot of information.
Moreover, Kakadon's identity is very useful.
Kakashi was already thinking about how to temporarily replace Kakashi.
"Your hatred is too obvious."
Kakashido.
"In battle, this anxiety will become your weakness."
Sasuke suddenly looked up, his eyes turning crimson, and his Sharingan slowly began to rotate:
"What do you know..."
"I know what it feels like to lose something."
Kakashi interrupted him, his voice unusually serious.
“But hatred can be a driving force, not the only one. Otherwise, even if you gain power, you will lose your direction after taking revenge.”
Zuo Zhu was stunned.
He had never heard Kakadon say such a thing before.
In his memory, the teacher always disguised himself with laziness and rarely said such things.
"The practice of 'Purple Lightning' begins with controlling emotions."
Kakashi stretched out his hand, and purple lightning crackled in his palm.
"Lightning Release is the most violent element. If your own emotions are unstable, you simply cannot control it."
He made the electric light change shape in his palm.
"The first step is to maintain the lightning chakra in a stable state for three minutes without using the Sharingan."
Zuo Zhu gritted his teeth and began to try.
Chakra condensed in his palm, making a crackling sound, but it quickly went out of control and exploded, electrifying his hand.
"continue."
Kakashido.
…………
The main world.
Moon.
It was late at night, but the study light was still on.
Kiyoshi sat at his desk, several documents spread out in front of him.
On the left are the follow-up matters of the handover of power in the Land of Fire, on the right is the initial report on the exploration of parallel worlds, and in the middle are the internal affairs of Konoha.
Footsteps came from outside the door, very softly, but he still heard them.
The door was pushed open, and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki walked in carrying a cup of tea.
Her long blue and white hair was loose, and she was barefoot on the floor.
"Still not resting?"
She placed the teacup on the table.
Kiyoshi took her hand and pulled her to sit down beside him:
"I'm handling some things. Where's Yu Yu Zi?"
"She's asleep."
Kaguya Otsutsuki leaned on his shoulder.
"She said she learned a new ninjutsu from Guren today and was very happy."
Kiyoshi smiled, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.
The tea was warm, with a light, refreshing aroma, just the way he liked it.
"In the parallel world, Kakashi seems to have encountered some trouble."
Kiyoshi said.
"But it's not a big problem."
Kiyoshi shook his head.
"Yeah."
Kaguya Otsutsuki remained noncommittal.
…………
the other side.
After Kakashi and Sasuke returned, they ran into Naruko eating ramen at Ichiraku Ramen.
Naruko warmly invited Kakashi.
Kakashi also went over and ate a bowl.
On the way back, Naruko asked Kakashi to teach her a couple of moves.
Seeing this, Kakashi decided to teach her a lesson.
Kakashi discovered that Naruto in this world seemed to only know the "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique," and didn't even know the "Rasengan."
So Kakashi decided to teach him the "Rasengan".
Kakashi arrived at Naruko's house soon.
Kakashi was surprised to find that her house was a complete mess.
Instant noodles and expired milk are everywhere.
Moreover, along the way, people frequently insulted Naruko, calling her the daughter of a fox spirit.
This made Kakashi feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Naruko in this world is not treated like the son of a hero at all.
After all, Minato was the Hokage in this world, and after he sacrificed himself to fight the Nine-Tails, his child was hated by the villagers.
And they don't even have a nanny.
Kakashi didn't think Naruko didn't deserve a babysitter.
The only explanation is that the Third Hokage of this world seems to be somewhat...
Kakashi didn't know how to describe it. (End of Chapter)
