[Legendary Nine Tails (White)] increases the vitality of physical cells, enhancing the chakra's ability to recover from injuries by 5%.
The reason Naruto was so resilient as a child, able to bounce back from severe injuries in just one day and be full of energy the next, was not just due to the Uzumaki clan's bloodline.
The Nine-Tails' chakra had also played a huge role in that. After all, it has remarkable restorative effects.
When Kakashi had seen Naruto cut his hand, his first instinct was to bandage it.
But the wound was already visibly healing. At that time, Kakashi was secretly amazed by the power of the Nine-Tails.
If he were to unlock something related to the Uzumaki clan, Kiyoshi couldn't even imagine how vigorous his vitality would become with the added boost.
Just think about Hashirama for a second.
His vitality was so abundant that even decades after his death, his 'Hashirama cells' were still used as materials for research.
Hashirama cells were used to increase the power of ninjutsu, chakra and health regeneration.
It was also used to lessen the side effects of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
It is an indispensable element in the ninja world.
However, Kiyoshi didn't want to casually implant someone else's cells into his body.
If he does so, will that still be his own body?
He didn't want to be like Madara, constantly bearing Hashirama's face on his chest.
Unless there's absolutely no other option, Kiyoshi only wants to strengthen his own 'Kiyoshi cells'.
"Um, thank you, Kiyoshi."
Kushina sincerely thanked him, her bright eyes fixed on Kiyoshi.
Kiyoshi then exchanged a few pleasantries with Kushina and left her house.
A preliminary contact is good. Everything takes time. Rome wasn't built in one day.
He should take advantage of the time before Kushina completely opens her heart to Minato to build up some goodwill.
Putting aside the Uzumaki clan's unique sealing techniques, he should be able to acquire one or two ordinary sealing techniques at least.
Sealing techniques are the ultimate answer in the future, still relevant in the era of Boruto.
Even Kaguya, who was said to be immortal, was still sealed by Chibaku Tensei.

Hyuga Clan Compound
"Natsu, what exactly are you doing? You can't even meet Uchiha Kiyoshi. Are you planning to make me personally invite him?"
Ginka's reprimand echoed in the room, mixed with the crisp sound of a teacup being gently placed.
Natsu stood to the side with her head lowered, unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes with her fingers.
She replied in a low voice, "Ginka-sama, I will go and visit again immediately."
"Hmph, you only know how to talk."
Ginka gave her a cold glance and placed the teacup on the table.
The education of branch house members and main family members is actually separate.
Main family members receive elite education.
Branch house members receive a watered down version of the main family's education, with only etiquette being the same.
Other aspects, whether it's Gentle Fist or ideological education, are reduced.
This is a necessary measure taken to prevent the branch house from developing unwanted thoughts.
Main family members may become branch house members.
Once they become branch family members, their descendants will always be branch house members.
There is no way of advancing from the status of branch house to main family.
"Ginka-sama, I… I'll go right away."
Natsu lowered her head in fear and trepidation.
It wasn't that she didn't want to see Kiyoshi, it's just that Kiyoshi was never home.
Ginka wore a heavy, old-fashioned robe. The Hyuga clan is a feudal clan and has strict rules about dressing.
At this moment, her sleeves slipped slightly, revealing her fair arms.
Ginka picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Go, and don't mess things up again."
Ginka said faintly, issuing a final warning.
Her plump figure barely concealed by the robe made her look even more mature and beautiful, but her delicate face carried a hint of contempt.
Hearing these words, Natsu felt like a heavy stone was pressing on her heart.
The status of the branch family...
The rule of the main family...
She was already used to it, but that didn't mean she was completely numb.
"Aren't you going yet?"
Ginka scolded softly, interrupting her thoughts.
Natsu didn't dare to say more. She quickly bowed, and retreated.
Once outside, she found the basket previously filled with pastries and set off for Kiyoshi's house.
"Natsu, where are you going?" Tetsu asked.
The Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan, like the Uchiha clan, each have their own area.
Therefore, they always see each other.
Tetsu, who had finished his physical training, walked over.
His thin body had become a little fuller after a few days of frenzied training, and his muscles looked a little more solid.
"I'm going out for a while, I'll be back soon." Natsu said.
"Okay, come back early."
Tetsu said, wiping away his sweat.
These past few days, he had seen Natsu carrying things outside, as if she was going to visit someone.
Suddenly, Tetsu realized something.
Visit…
Could it be Kiyoshi?
Tetsu wanted to ask, but he saw that Natsu had already walked out with the basket.
Seeing this, Tetsu could only suppress his guess in his heart.
"Have you already practiced enough for today? Why are you just standing here in a daze?" Homura said.
"Not yet, let's continue."
Tetsu shook his head, hiding a trace of unease when talking with Homura.
…
"Finally completed."
[Pure Genjutsu Scholar (White)]
[Requirement: Learn 1 pure Genjutsu technique.]
[Progress: Completed]
[Effect: Your foundation in Genjutsu is solid, and you can enhance any Genjutsu technique by 5% on its original basis.]
[Note: Can be upgraded.]
[Upgrade Route 1: Integrate it with Apprentice Genjutsu Genin (White) and Pride of Genjutsu (White) to upgrade to Genjutsu Genin (Green)]
Kiyoshi looked at the trait in front of him that was already displayed as completed, and a smile appeared on his face.
[Pride of Genjutsu (White)] was the trait he had obtained when he had defeated Kurenai during his time at ninja school.
It is now also one of the materials for upgrading to a green Trait.
The rule for Trait upgrades is indeed based on overall progress.
Moreover, generally three white traits are combined into one green trait.
"Upgrade."
Kiyoshi clicked on the slightly flashing Upgrade Route 1.
In an instant, the original three white traits turned gray, as if they were locked.
And a new green trait appeared in front of Kiyoshi.
[Genjutsu Genin (Green)]
[Requirement: Reach the minimum requirement in Genjutsu ability.]
[Progress: Completed]
[Effect: Your Genjutsu ability will be at the forefront amongst genins, and the effect of Genjutsu on the recipient will increase by 20% on the original basis.]
[Note: Can be upgraded.]
[Upgrade Route 1: Integrate it with Lightning Release Genin (Green), Fire Release Genin (Green), and Medical Genin (Green) to upgrade to Chakra Nature Transformation Master (Blue).]
Kiyoshi glanced at the effect of this trait and didn't look again.
It can be considered mediocre, similar to other green traits.
What comes next is the main event.
An upgrade route is shown for each trait that can be upgraded.
Whether Kiyoshi checks the [Fire Release Genin (Green)] or [Medical Genin (Green)], they will now show an upgrade route to upgrade to [Chakra Nature Transformation Master (Blue)].
"Upgrade to a blue trait."
Kiyoshi clicked on Upgrade Route 1.
The Trait flashed, showing Kiyoshi a brand new trait.
Before Kiyoshi could see the words on it clearly, he felt a burning sensation all over his body.
It was as if he had suddenly fallen into boiling water, Kiyoshi's body was emitting wisps of heat.
The meridians in every cell of his body had a brief tearing sensation.
But the chakra circulating in the entire chakra pathway system had a strange cooling sensation.
Kiyoshi's movement attracted the attention of the White Snake.
The White Snake spat out its tongue from the heat, not understanding why its master was suddenly so hot.
It followed it's instinct and came down from Kiyoshi, then coiled up in a shady place to cool off.
It took a full quarter of an hour before Kiyoshi felt a respite.
He opened the Trait panel as soon as possible.
[Chakra Nature Transformation Master (Blue)]
[Requirement: Learn four or more chakra nature transformations.]
[Progress: Completed]
[Effect: You have a new understanding of chakra nature transformation, increasing the resistance to existing chakra natures, and increasing the power of cooperation ninjutsu by 40%.]
[Note: Can be upgraded.]
"40%."
Kiyoshi thought it was okay.
After all, it adds a set % rather than a value.
As his understanding and mastery of ninjutsu increases, the basic power will increase even more.
He immediately had an idea in his mind.
